From The Editor

From the Editor:

 

Happy week everyone and a very Happy Halloween!  Today has to be the most fun day of the entire year.  You can do almost anything and it's all forgiven for the spirit of Halloween.  You want to jump out of bushes, wear clown makeup, eat tons of chocolate?  All excusable Halloween behavior. 

 

And all stuff I have been known to do once or twice. But this year I expect I shall be tame, maybe I'll even leave my old stand-by cat's ears in the back of the closet and sit this one out.  But I sit in an office all day with people that wouldn't be shocked or amused by my 'Halloween is Awesome' attitude. 

 

In fact I work with a couple of Scrooges that eschew all holidays for their continued 'schlocky-ness' and general sinking into a pit of capitalistic spending that has no meaning.  While I see their point I refuse to be dragged down to their level of cynicism.  Long Live Halloween!!!

 

I do wish you all a good night and an excellent week ahead.  And don't forget to vote on Tuesday if you haven't done so already.  That way if your guy loses you've got a legitimate 4 years of grumbling. 

Cheers,

Amy, Editor

Quotes to Inspire

"When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is
composed of two characters-one represents danger,
and the other represents opportunity."
~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy


"Seeds of faith are always within us; sometimes it takes
a crisis to nourish and encourage their growth."
~ Susan Taylor


"In a time of crisis we all have the potential to
morph up to a new level and do things we never thought possible."
~ Stuart Wilde


"Without the strength to endure the crisis,
one will not see the opportunity within.
It is within the process of endurance
that opportunity reveals itself."
~ Chin-Ning Chu

  News of Interest!    
 

  Searching the frontiers of science - "Apart from bedwetting, it seems that the only positive results from acupuncture use have to do with some types of pain and nausea." -- Trick or Treatment, a new book by Edzard Ernst and Simon Singh SOY RELIEF There is fresh hope for vegans, vegetarians and other lovers of soy products. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have come up with a way to reduce the flatulence-inducing carbohydrates in soy yogurt by 80 to 90 per cent, while simultaneously hiking the levels of healthy antioxidants.



  New Study on Acupuncture with Drugs as Equine Sedation Option - Acupuncture is not a new technique, but clinical studies proving that this treatment modality works in horses are relatively few and far between. In the journal Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Brazilian scientists studying alternatives to conventional drug administration for achieving sedation in horses reported that combining low-dose drug administration with acupuncture is a viable option. These findings confirm anecdotal reports from veterinary acupuncturists on this subject.



  Cigna Rolls Out Posh Health Plans for Individuals and Small Businesses - As more people fall out of the employer-sponsored health insurance market, more insurers are following them. Cigna is the latest to jump into the market for individual policies and is wooing customers with perks usually reserved for large company health plans. The bells and whistles include discounts for fitness club memberships, coverage of acupuncture and 24-hour health information lines. Prices can vary, depending on a person's medical history and state rules.


  Acupuncture sessions Nov. 3 to benefit Prevention First - Have you ever wondered about its benefits but have never had an acupuncture treatment? On Monday, November 3, Robert Balko, L. Ac., Dipl. Ac., director of The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture in Ocean, is offering introductory acupuncture sessions for new clients in observance of National Acupuncture Day. A nominal $10 fee will be donated to Prevention First, a local non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the foundations of children and families.



  Adequate pain care sorely lacking for patients - Medical science has learned a great deal about the causes of pain and ways to relieve it, pain experts say, but for a host of reasons, the treatment of pain and suffering has improved hardly at all in recent years. John Seffrin , the president of the American Cancer Society , calls this "a national health-care crisis of under-treated pain." "Nearly all cancer pain can be relieved, but fewer than half of our patients report adequate pain relief," Rebecca Kirch, the society's associate director of policy, told a pain seminar in Washington last week. Hospitals do a little better than that in managing pain for patients with all kinds of illnesses, according to a survey to be published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
