Back pain, neck pain, headaches, constipation.  Injuries from sports or accidents.   Asthma, dizziness, allergies.  Digestive problems, numbness and tingling.  Plenty can go wrong with your body.  There are also plenty of ways you can approach it.  The approach you take can mean the difference between living with a problem and its limitations, or living your life to the fullest, with the freedom to enjoy all the best your life can offer.  If you have been suffering with a painful problem or nagging condition and you don’t want to treat the symptoms with drugs or surgery, here’s how you can …

By Heidi Scanlon, Certified Reiki Master It’s February, and signs of Valentine’s Day are nearly everywhere.   For some people, it is a time for celebrating love—the love of yourself, your family, and a soul mate.  For others, it is a painful reminder of feelings of inferiority and unworthiness, failed relationships and a lack of healthy emotional connections.  Some people attract and maintain loving relationships easily.  They appear to do it with effortless ease.  Yet for others, no matter what they do, love that lasts seems to elude them. In spite of taking all of the right action steps, …

Every kid who's dreaming of getting that special holiday gift thinks twice about how they behave.  Why?  Because "...he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!"  Poised at the end of one year and the beginning of another, the holidays are a time of celebration and reflection.  For a lot of people, 2011 was filled with stress and change that was challenging and exhausting.  Over the months that passed, this stress can take its toll on your health, depending upon whether or not you've been "bad or good."   Who is this “she” that knows if you've been "bad or good?"  She’s …

Perhaps a loved one or you have been struggling with a nagging condition or illness that has not responded to traditional medical care.   Maybe you’ve been angry, frustrated, depressed, or feeling burnt out from the high levels of stress that we are bombarded with daily.  To a certain extent this is part of living life.  Yet when these challenges occur and don’t resolve, we can feel trapped and hopeless.  What if there was something that could help you heal better and faster, have better energy, and a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being?  A something that many people say helps …

Anyone who has ever suffered with low back pain will tell you it is not to be taken lightly.  It can range from an ache that frustrates and limits you from doing the things that are important to you, to a crippling, disabling pain that holds your life hostage.  Back pain affects about 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults(1) *.  It’s costly.  Low back pain has a major economic impact in the USA.  Total costs related to this condition exceed 100 billion dollars per year!(2)*  It is the leading cause of disability in Americans under 45 years old and more than 26 million Americans between the ages of 20-…

Over the past 31 years I have served this community as a chiropractor, I’ve helped thousands of patients and literally delivered millions of chiropractic adjustments.  Every day in my office, I’ve been blessed to witness what many people would call “miracles of healing”:  crutches, canes and braces discarded because the disabled have returned to functioning normally; people’s headaches, neck and back pain disappeared; cancer patients with little more than hope battled back to health; people with digestive problems enjoyed eating without pain again; infertile couples conceived and delivered …

The 4-H Rhythm In Motion Cloggers traveled to New Hampshire to attend the Northeast Clogging Convention.  We left for New Hampshire on March 17, 2011, and returned on March 20, 2011.   While in New Hampshire my group attended workshops and I competed in my first competition. The workshops are broken into different levels.  I mostly go into the workshops for intermediates.  I have tried advanced workshops but they are hard.  These workshops are taught by instructors from all over the country.  The instructors teach us a routine to a song.  This year I decided I wanted to compete in the bracket…

A group of teens help others through Community Service.  On Monday, Jan. 17, The Middlesex County 4-H Jr. Council got together for a fun day of baking and making cards.  The group baked muffins and breads which were donated to Elijah’s Promise Soup Kitchen in New Brunswick.  They also made Valentine Cards which will be donated to children at St. Peters Hospital.  This event takes place every year in January.  During baking, a group decided to make cookies for dessert but that did not turn out to well.  We burned all the cookies except for one dozen.  We got silly and had dough all over …
