From the Editor:
Cheers all and welcome to another week of the Acuprenuer's Community Newsletter. I have to admit to writing this issue of the newsletter on a tray table in the middle of a mostly empty room. Well empty except for all the boxes surrounding me. I'm really trying to move out of my apartment before Christmas comes otherwise I'll be driving a rental truck around town like some kind of weird Santa Claus only I'll have a freezer and a Barca-lounger instead of gifts in the back of my sleigh. I really hate moving.
I do want to send out a wicked big thank you to Mike from Emily's Skin Smoothers. Mike took pity on my little sicky self (I swear this is the cold that won't go away either I can't get rid of the sniffly nose or low energy) and sent me some amazing new cream for my chapped nose. Mike you are my hero!!
So if this weekend you're all not doing anything you're more than welcome to come to the Pacific Northwest (where it's currently snowing -- oh joy) and help me shift all my stuff. I wonder what I wouldn't miss if it stayed behind?
Hope your weekend is better than mine!

There is no underlying cause, such as lupus. My doctor has prescribed blood pressure medicines that are supposed to work for this condition, but nothing seems to help. Is there a natural remedy that might help? Would acupuncture work? A. People with Raynaud's syndrome really suffer in the winter. In this condition, blood vessels in the hands and feet constrict. Fingers may turn white or blue and be painful or numb. The colder the temperature, the worse the symptoms. Acupuncture may be helpful. One small study found that acupuncture reduced attacks by 63%, compared with a 27% reduction in the control patients (Journal of Internal Medicine, February 1997).
Acupuncture holding its popularity - It's been used in China and Japan for centuries, but has only become popular in the U.S. over the past 20 to 30 years. It's called acupuncture.

Kiki had been given cortisone injections for her asthma but Ms Sanders was worried this might eventually damage the moggie's liver. Civic League to close after 92 years - The Framingham Civic League, which has called 214 Concord St. home for 92 years, will likely shut its doors for the final time at the end of this month.

"We can't afford to keep it open anymore," said the group's executive director Ellen Sturgis.
