Different approach to back and neck pain

Neck and back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons, ranging in moderate to severe symptoms. No matter what the cause, it is important to receive the proper care you need so that the problem doesn’t get worse or keep returning. Today, many people are under the impression that neck and back issues can only be treated with surgery. The good news is that is not the case and there are several non-invasive ways to treat neck and back pain without resorting to surgery. One of the best non-invasive treatments today is non-surgical spinal decompression. In my experience, I have found it essential to use various modalities in order to help people heal and get the best possible results based on their condition. When helping individuals with disc conditions, I recommend different modalities of treatment to help alleviate acute pain and improve long-term benefits. This multi-step approach addresses different pieces of the puzzle when someone has a herniated disc, and it often starts with spinal decompression.

Your genetics are not your destiny

Genetics have long been discussed in ways that seem to indicate that they determine our fate. Our DNA tends to be thought of as this fixed set of information that is passed down to us from our parents (and it is for the most part). But did you know that our bodies have several mechanisms in play to control how our genes are expressed? The purpose of our DNA is to serve as the code for creating the many proteins necessary for life. According to the National Institute of Health, there are an estimated 20,000-25,000 genes encoding the various proteins that serve to regulate chemical reactions, control the movement of nutrients, create the physical structure of our bodies and perform countless other functions. In much the same way you adjust the volume when you do or don’t like what you hear, epigenetic mechanisms in our cells increase the activity of certain genes when we need more of the corresponding protein, and they turn down the genes corresponding to proteins that are needed less.

Why don’t Idaho teachers make $216,000 a year? It is a valid question as Idaho spends about $7,500 a year per student, supplemental levies add about $1,500 per student, and the average class size is 24 students. That means that Idaho is spending $216,000 per year on the average classroom of students. But the average teacher pay is $44,000, so where is the other $172,000 going?

GUNS: Control is the real killer

Mass shootings occur in gun-free zones. They occur in schools, churches, shopping centers and in other gun-free public areas rather than at gun shows or around police stations where large numbers of firearms — and people who know how to use them — are known to be. In his article in USA Today, “Opposing view: Guns in schools can save lives,” Dec. 25, 2012, John Lott Jr. writes: “With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had three of the worst six school shootings.”

TRUMP: Savior? Not so fast

God Trump has decreed death to sick immigrant kids by sending them back to their shithole countries. This is after sending Christian Arabs home to be killed by Middle East religious zealots.

This is after ordering his religious rally congregations to attack any opposing his holy words.

SHARP: Tears of joy, pride

Conceivably, if you were there among the crowd and saw the tears, pride, respect and unity offered by those standing in the rain, waving their flags and homemade signs it would reach a better place in your heart.

Secondly, discussions should be based on fact. Councilmember Roetter is not being transparent in his crime analysis. Knowing the truth, he chose to use a shorter timeline to justify his opinion. Crime statistics over the past 10 years show an increase in crime. Law enforcement feedback has detailed the fact that Hayden does not have 24-hour dedicated law enforcement coverage for its 15,000 citizens.

According to Pew Research, only 5,370 adoptions from overseas happened in 2016. Some countries have shut off adoptions to other countries because of reported problems of abuse or even adoptive parents trying to return the child back to their home country.

BUDGET: County gets it right

The most important vote for any elected local official is the budget. Any service industry such as municipal government necessitates possibly 75% of the budget addressing personnel needs. Salaries are always a major concern to remain competitive with other jurisdictions. Not only salaries but there is retirement, health insurance, training, uniforms, equipment and the various supplies. As the population grows or the demographics change, you must ask how does that effect your budget and the services you provide? What technological changes can effect your daily operations in both the number and type of employees required.

POLITICS: Deciding best directions

The Trump presidency has uncovered several weaknesses in the American system of government and, perhaps has shown that a free society, by its very nature, is prone to questioning itself and to learning from its mistakes.

I think that is true and feel a little embarrassed that as a history student and history teacher, I never quite saw it that way. That could mean that a lot of us might need a periodic wake-up call and, as difficult as it is to experience and to acknowledge, we might be in the middle of one right now.

The Adrenal glands: Delivering more then just a shot of adrenaline

The adrenal glands are best known for producing and releasing epinephrine (adrenaline) and other hormones involved in the fight or flight response, but they also produce a number of other hormones that deliver instructions and information to nearly every tissue and organ in your body. These instructions play a role in everything from regulating our blood pressure and blood sugar to our sleep cycle and the production of our sex hormones, among other things. Three absolutely critical regulatory endocrine glands, the hypothalamus, pituitary and thyroid, are very closely connected to the adrenal glands through various feedback mechanisms.

RIVER'S EDGE: It's not over, folks

Your Aug. 17 article in by Keith Erickson provided an excellent overview of the controversial River’s Edge Apartments development in Coeur d’Alene on the Spokane River. It described how the monstrous “Plan A” with its 680 apartments, in multiple high-rise buildings, was unanimously rejected by both the Planning Commission and City Council, and that a “Plan B” with 29 homes on the riverfront and 250 apartments was later approved. But the “Plan A” is not totally dead. The developer has filed an unusual “Request For Reconsideration” with the Council to reverse their earlier rejection.

Cold laser taking health care to new heights!

Low level lasers are the cutting edge of healthcare. Low level laser therapy, or LLLT for short, has been used worldwide for more than 50 years. There are now more than 2,000 published studies on LLLT and amazingly, zero negative side effects have been reported. And consequently, the Erchonia laser we utilize in our office was the first laser company to get an FDA clearance on Jan. 17, 2002, through clinical trials. We know lasers are traditionally designed to cut and cauterize. These are referred to as “hot” lasers. LLLT uses a cold laser. This simply means that this category of laser does not generate heat. What it does generate is a proven and effective method for increased healing in the body.

Survey after survey continues to show the two most requested varietals in the U.S. are Chardonnay and Cabernet.

When customers purchase wine for a gift, or to bring to an event, they lean to these varietals as they are the most well-known and are perceived to be the most acceptable. Wine enthusiasts can have that argument another time, but it remains the truth of it all. So, here is a lineup of the most popular Cabernets.

PROPOSAL: Is this what we can expect?

On July 16, the San Francisco Board of Supervisor’s adopted “Resolution 336-19 recognizing the harmful impacts of the institutionalization of the use of pejorative language to refer to formerly incarcerated people.” According to the resolution, “Approximately one of five California residents has a criminal record, and words like “prisoner,” “convict,” “inmate,” or “felon” only serve to obstruct and separate people from society and make the institutionalization of racism and supremacy appear normal.”

Their response has been timely, dispatchers have been very helpful, and I have noted with pleasure the patrol vehicles that always seem to be traveling the local roads.
