Breast Cancer Patients and Reflexology:
An Alternative Approach to Anxiety, Fatigue and Pain
By Charles Leath
Certified Reflexologist
When
diagnosed with breast
cancer, not only is
your physical body
totally unbalanced,
but your whole world
turns upside down. Anxiety, fatigue and pain become usual contenders as
well as, regular visits for
chemotherapy. It seems
you feel much worse before getting better.
The American Cancer
Society Journal found that
one-third of cancer patients used reflexology as
an alternative medical approach. There are benefits
to reflexology that can
help the patient through
the whole process.
Endorphins are produced to relieve pain and
stiffness. And the therapy
session always leaves
you calm and stress-free.
It provides the feeling of
wellness: definitely an
emotional boost for anyone.
The College of Nursing Researchers of Michigan State University found
that many women who are

receiving chemotherapy
while in the late stages of
breast cancer are turning
to a complementary therapy known as reflexology
to help them cope.
Out of three natural
therapies, “Reflexology
is the one people stuck
with the most during the
eight-week protocol,” said
Gwen Wyatt, a professor in MSU’s College of
Nursing who headed the
project. “It’s also the one
that had the most positive
outcomes.”
With reflexology, by
applying firm pressure to
certain parts of the soles of
the foot, women adjust better to their chemotherapy
treatment. “We see things
like a decrease in depression and anxiety, and improvements in spirituality
and emotional quality of
life,” Wyatt said. “Overall, they have an improved
quality of life.”
“Breast cancer can be
a very difficult experience
and advanced-stage disease even more so,” Wy-
att said. “This study will
make the treatment journey more manageable and
women may want to continue it after cancer treatment to maintain a sense
of well-being.”
Other researchers, such
as the School of Nursing,
East Carolina University
found the same results.
The Breast Cancer Support
Services endorse the use of
reflexology in assisting patients in releasing anxiety
and pain, in conjunction
with traditional protocols.
Tanning: Is Spraying Any Better For You?
By KELLEE MARKWELL
Licensed Master Esthetician
A. Most people tan
to look good. This is especially true for indoor
tanning, tanning booths
etc. Reasons range from
looking slimmer to looking healthier. The truth
many of these new options
is a carbohydrate derived
from plants like the sugar
beet and sugar cane. These
more organic forms of
spray tan are recommended by The Skin Cancer
Foundation, the American
Academy of Dermatology
Association and the American Medical Association.
This type of tan is in my
opinion the safest tan your
skin can get. When done
by a professional the results are great. It would be
my personal preference for
$25
you to embrace your skin
tone and your body as it is,
but I know the attraction
associated with tanning. If
you want a safe tan, opt for
a sugar based spray tan,
given to you in a salon by
a professional. You’ll look
good and be healthy

Q. Everyone is talking
about how bad tanning is
for you. I think it makes
me look healthier. I have
heard that some spray tanning is bad for you too.
What do you suggest?
is that tanning beds and
booths damage kin. They
cause premature wrinkles,
age spots and skin cancer. Despite the warnings
from skin care professionals like me over 1 million people per day in this
country are still tanning in
salons. Really upsetting is
the statistic that over 70%
of these are young women
between the ages of 16 and
29. The younger you start
this damaging activity,
the more dangerous your
potential outcome. There
is a safer alternative. The
results of sunless tanning,
done in a salon by a skilled
professional, are remarkable. With all hype about
the danger of tanning beds
this sunless spray tan industry has taken off. New
products are now available
that are safe and non-toxic. The main ingredient in
The American College of
Physicians and American
Society of Internal Medicine also advocate the use
of reflexology.

Supplements For Children Is A Must
Last week in my editorial I mentioned that even
Tabby Cat and Buddy Dog
can get tremendous help
from the same wonderful,
easy to take and good tasting nutrients, vitamins and
herbal supplements that
our grandchildren take.
Things we always look
for as nutritionalist is how
they are processed, how
pure the factors are and
what kind of carrier they
are contained in. We want
to make sure our family
and pets get the very best
because that is what they
deserve.
Here is what we look for
to determine what is best:
What are they housed in?
Are they a great immune
builder?
Do they have
enough in them to protect
or shield our family from
the bugs, the sniffles and
the junk food? In a world
of these nasty invaders,
we as parents and grandparents need to protect our
children.
Here are some valuable

nutrients that puts forth
powerful antioxidant action and supports the immune system:
Acai Berry is what you
look for, a good source of
protein, fatty acid, vitamin
C and calcium.
Cranberry Fruit is a source
of phytochemicals, flavanoids, vitamins C & E, glutathione which helps build
strong bones and muscles.
Cranberry strengthens urinary organs and protects
them during those formulative years.
Mangosteen Fruit is a
rich antioxitants (xanthones that protects cells during there growth period)
Pomegranate Fruit Extract
is an excellent source of
tannins, ellagic acid and
gallic acid. These support
blood and oxygen supply.
Broccoli Flowers, a phytonutrient and indoles that
will help protect against
cell damage and help balance the metabolism of
hormones.
Asparagus Stems, a
good protein and B Complex which is excellent for
stress and mental stability.
Carrot Root is a very rich
source of Vitamin A that
helps your hearing and
vision. Carrot is also a
strong immune builder.
Tomato Fruit is a good
source of Vitamin C, Beta
Carotene (Vitamin A) and
is great for us old arthritics.
Spinach Leaves and
Stems often is used for salads and greens. It is an excellent source of Vitamin
C, E & K and magnesium.
That’s wonderful news for
the heart, brain and joints.
Spinach also supports gastro intestinal functions.
11 Essential Amino Acids
constantly monitor and
supply every cell in the
body to perform its assigned responsibilities.
Choline, I love choline in
all of the vitamins for our
family because without it
good health is questionable for brain development, liver, gall bladder,
and fluid balance.
Inositol is like your
cell phone since it aids cell
to cell communication and
other processed related to
nerve impulse transmission.
This kind of base is
a great protector shield
for Tabby Cat and Buddy
Dog and your children and
mine. Our families need
daily support. Give them
a good Natural Alternative.

stress may contribute to
the onset of breast cancer
and can play a major part
in its progression.
The level or lack of
support a woman receives
at home, work and in personal relationships can
seriously impact her emotional well-being and recovery. If support is lacking, it can lead to chronic
levels of stress, anxiety
and depression.
In a typically healthy
person, these emotions can
wreak havoc. In a woman
facing a serious disease,
they can lead to poor
health choices that undermine the healing process,
become counterproductive
to therapy, or discourage
her to the point that she
misses or even stops medical treatments.
Whether a woman has
just found a lump or is undergoing treatment, it is
important for her to reach
out for support and surround herself with people

Villa Springfield Health and Rehabilitation Center
would like to congratulate Helen on her graduation from our
Homeward Bound Program! Helen was admitted to Villa after spending
time in the hospital and becoming weak related to stomach problems.
She received physical and occupational therapy for strengthening, range of
motion, and balance. Upon beginning her therapy program Helen required
assistance transferring and walking, as well as assistance performing activities
of daily living. Helen was discharged back home after completing our
Homeward Bound Program. At that time she could transfer and walk
with a roller walker and only required minimal assistance with other activities.
She had this to say about her stay at Villa, “It’s just like I was family there, with a
lot of tender loving care, good food, and excellent therapy!”

Sibling Rivalry Can Be Sparked By Parents
FOCUS ON
THE FAMILY
Dr. James Dobson
QUESTION: If jealousy between kids is so
common, then how can
parents minimize the
natural antagonism children feel for their siblings?
DR. DOBSON: It’s
helpful to avoid circumstances that compare
them unfavorably with
each other. They are extremely sensitive to the
competitive edge of their
relationship. The question
is not “How am I doing?”
it is “How am I doing compared with John or Steven
or Marion?” The issue is
not how fast I can run, but
who crosses the finish line
first. A boy does not care
how tall he is; he is vitally
interested in who is tallest.
Each child systematically measures himself
against his peers and is
tremendously
sensitive
to failure within his own
family. Accordingly, parents should guard against
comparative
statements
that routinely favor one
child over another.
Perhaps an illustration
will help make the case.
When I was about ten
years old, I loved to play
with a couple of dogs that
belonged to two families
in the neighborhood. One
was a black Scottie who
liked to chase and retrieve
tennis balls. The other was
a pug bulldog who had a
notoriously bad attitude.
One day as I was tossing the ball for the Scottie, it occurred to me that
it might be interesting to
throw it in the direction of
the ol’ grouch. It was not
a smart move. The ball
rolled under the bulldog,
who grabbed the Scottie
by the throat when he tried
to retrieve it. It was an awful scene. Neighbors came
running as the Scottie
screamed in pain. It took
ten minutes and a garden
hose to pry the bulldog’s
grip loose, and by then the
Scottie was almost dead.
He spent two weeks in the
hospital, and I spent two
weeks in “the doghouse.”
I regret throwing that ball
to this day.
I have thought about
that experience many
times and have begun to
recognize its application
to human relationships.
Indeed, it is a very simple
thing to precipitate a fight
between people. All that
is necessary is to toss a
ball, symbolically, under
the more aggressive of the
two and prepare for the
battle that ensues. This is
done by repeating negative
comments one has made or
by baiting one in the presence of the other. It can be
accomplished in business
by assigning overlapping
territory to two managers.
They will tear each other
to pieces in the inevitable
rivalry. Alas, it happens
every day.
This principle is also
applicable to siblings. It is
remarkably easy to make
them mortal enemies. All
a parent must do is toss
a ball in the wrong direction. Their natural antago-
nism will do the rest.
QUESTION:
How
early in life is a child capable of making a strongwilled stand in defiance
against his or her parents?
DR. DOBSON: Depending on the temperament of the individual,
defiant behavior can be
displayed by very young
children. A father once
told me of taking his threeyear-old daughter to a basketball game. The child
was, of course, interested
in everything in the gym
except the athletic contest.
The father permitted her to
roam freely and climb on
the bleachers, but he set up
definite limits regarding
how far she could stray.
He took her by the hand
and walked with her to a
stripe painted on the gym
floor.
“You can play all
around the building, Janie,
but don’t go past this line,”
he instructed her.
Dad had no sooner
returned to his seat than
the toddler scurried in the
direction of the forbidden
territory. She stopped at
the border for a moment,
then flashed a grin over
her shoulder to her father
and deliberately placed
one foot over the line as
if to say, “Whacha gonna
do about it?” Virtually every parent the world over
has been asked the same
question at one time or
another. That’s the way
some kids are made.

Aggregation Gives Consumers More Electric Choices
Another one of those Laws You Can Use from the Ohio State Bar Association
Q: What is electric
choice?
A: On January 1, 2001,
electric choice became law
in Ohio. This law gives consumers the opportunity to
choose from among competing suppliers for their
electric service. This law
also permits communities
to aggregate as a way to
potentially save consumers
money.
A: Aggregation allows
consumers to combine their
electric usage and form buying groups. Group purchasing, or aggregation, may
allow consumers to secure
greater buying power in a
competitive market.
marketing and administrative costs because they can
market to an entire group
rather than to individuals.
These reduced costs may
be passed on as savings to
individual consumers in the
buying group.

consumers money?
A: While there is no
guarantee that consumers
will save money through

Q: Who can aggregate?
A: Ohio’s electric choice
permits buying pools to be
formed by local governments and “affinity” groups
(groups formed by people
with common interests, such
as churches or schools). Organizations such as trade
associations, professional
groups, school districts,
businesses, churches and
neighborhood associations
can use their buying power
to negotiate an attractive offer with a supplier.
Misguided Wisdom
The Money
Matrix II
By Steve Temple
Of all the opportunities
that you have discovered in
your life, which were the most
important? Of these opportunities, which ones changed
your life forever? Now ask
yourself one question: how
would the opportunities that
you’re not even aware of,
change your life? If you were
given one wish, one gift that
would fulfill your life, what
would it be?
Happiness,
wealth,
health, love, there are many
ways you could answer that
question. In a very simple
way, I would wish to live the
best life I could live. Think
about that for a moment.
If given the opportunity, I
would like to maximize the
gifts I have been given so I
could enjoy my life and share
with others. Your answer to
what you want in life may
be different from mine but
understand one thing, the gift
and opportunities you have
in life are already inside you
but you just can’t see them.
Discovering these gifts and
opportunities is simple. Look
for them and when you find
them learn about them. Your
life will change. It’s time
to live the best life you can
live.
There is enough stress,
worry and concern in your
everyday life that you may
think that changing your life
will take a lot of time and energy on your. But to change
only takes thought and some
knowledge. The real truth is
that your everyday struggles
take up all you time and you
have been enslaved by them.
In your financial world the
answer to many of your
problems is understanding
how money works. It isn’t
fair that throughout your life
you have not been given the
opportunity and the knowledge to improve your financial life.
Your financial health is
centered on much more than
simply trying to pick a winning stock or mutual fund.
There is no one product that
you can purchase that will
solve all your financial problems. The solution comes
when you understand that
everything you own has financial value. When you
discover that everything has
value, then you can start to
understand how you can use
your assets as financial tools.
These steps will help you
create more options and opportunities in your life.
Q: Are there different
types of local government
aggregation?
A: Yes. Ohio’s electric
choice legislation lets local
governments choose from
two types of aggregation for
their communities. One option allows residents to sign
up, or “opt-in,” and permits
the government to arrange
for electricity on their behalf.
vidually.
Q: Have any communities aggregated?
A: Yes. More than 190
communities have allowed
their local governments to
aggregate on an “opt-out”
basis. The Northeast Ohio
Public Energy Council (NOPEC) and the Northwest
Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC) are examples
of coalitions of aggregated
communities that have been
formed since the electric
choice law became effective. Each of these coalitions
is made up of a number
of communities that have
banded together, forming
larger groups to maximize
their buying power.
ty organizations with more
information about electric
aggregation?
A: The Office of the
Ohio Consumers’ Counsel
(OCC), the residential utility consumer advocate, can
provide additional information about electric aggregation. The OCC also can
give presentations to local

community groups of 30 or
more people.

Mystery Guest Grabs A Bite
One day, I decided to
branch out and order a pizza to go from Catanzaro’s
Pizza & Sub.
I asked them if they
had anything different.
The Gentleman at the
counter suggested Rosario’s Original Mediterranean Wonder.
I could not believe my
eyes when I saw this pizza! It had 12 toppings and
the mixture of flavors was
out of this world.
I suggest if you want something different in a pizza,
call and order one today.

McCarty’s Home Services & Clean Air Solutions:
November 4, 2009 s The Springfield Paper s Page C7
For Home Improvements and Better Air Quality
By CAROL ARMBRUST
Staff Business Writer
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio
— John McCarty says his
McCarty’s Home Services
has been an ongoing business for many years. He
grew up doing carpenter
and construction work for
his dad, so the evolution of
his skills lends itself naturally to home remodeling
and repairs. Many of his
family members (uncles,
nephews, brothers) are
also in the business of construction.
McCarty says he acquired most of his construction skills through
on-the-job training by observing and working with
his dad and older brothers.
He says he has actually
helped construct entire
houses, so he can also do
roofing and siding work,
but he generally sticks
with home repairs and
small jobs like room additions and remodeling.
Besides his home ser-
how the systems are put
together and how important clean ducts are,
he could achieve his
long-held dream of being self-employed and
helping people at the
same time.

News of the potential for
an insurance services company locating in the Credit
Life or Bushnell Building
downtown can’t be understated. I feel confident it will
happen. This is the kind of
development that every city
in the country seeks so the
news that Insurance Claims
Management of Eau Claire,
Wisc. is “strongly considering” downtown Springfield
as a location for “hundreds”
of jobs is exciting to say
the least for a number of
reasons. One is obvious.
Putting that many workers
concentrated downtown is
sure to spur other development. It also establishes us
as a player in the insurance
industry with Assurant Specialty Services, another insurance services provider,
being the largest single-site
employer in the county. We
can continue to build on that
segment of the market. With
the downtown Ohio Valley
Medical Center open, creating more than 100 jobs, the
Springfield Regional Medical Center under construction downtown, the Center
City Park expected to be
completed next summer, a
downtown ice arena to be
built, the Buck Creek navigability project underway
and Clark State’s recently
announcing plans to build
a $5.8 million Creative Arts
and Conference Center, I
wonder if any city our size
or larger has this amount
of activity taking place and
doing it in tough economic
times. Have a great Chamber day!

To spice up your abode
with home decor items-the
icing on the eco-friendly

from recycled materials
that may have otherwise
been landfilled. For example, start at the front of
the house by placing an
eye-catching vase made

be stylish while staying
within your budget.
Sit back and let the

Pet Issues
question: how do you find
a trustworthy pet sitter?
What a great question
and one that I love to respond to as I have been a
pet sitter (with my sister)
for over 15 years. My sister started our pet sitting
service over 20 years ago.
The best and probably the safest option is
a recommendation from
your veterinarian and
other veterinarians in the
area as well. A pet sitter
would have contacts with
all veterinarians and these
veterinarians often receive
feedback from their customers on the sitters’ performance.Also something
to keep in mind: just because someone is a member of a National Pet Sitting Association does not
mean that sitter is more
reputable or reliable than
another sitter. In larger
areas than Springfield,
i.e. Dayton, Cincinnati,
or Columbus, some sitters
are listed in the telephone
directory, yellow pages.
Check the ones who have
been in business the longest. Call and set a time to
meet this person and ask
lots of questions. Check
references. Pet sitters who
have been in business the
longest are a good indication of the ones to call
upon. Longevity is the
key in this business.
In addition, if your dog
is sociable and likes other
dogs than a kennel/doggie
care center maybe your
best option. You know
your pet better than anyone. Make sure your decision is what is best for the
pet and not what is more
convenient for you.
Who Ya Gonna Call?
By Carolyn Hayes
Who ya gonna call?
Everyone remembers that
popular tagline from the
movie, “Ghost Busters”!
But who are you going to
call for pet care when you
are away? What is best: a
pet sitter or kennel/doggie
daycare? Those are great
questions to ask yourself
and only you can offer the
perfect answers.
