he ancient Chinese medicine of acupuncture
is, as they say, “as old as the hills.” Yet for
Westerners, the practice of having needles poked
into the body has become a popular new alternative in treating anything from pain to eliminating
wrinkles on the neck and face.
That’s right, acupuncture is a less expensive and
safer alternative to cosmetic surgery and potentially
dangerous cosmetic procedures such as botox.
It is devoid of the trauma, recovery time, or side
effects—and creates an overall sense of well being.
“We call it ‘new’ over here. It’s crazy,” said Dr.
Jeems Love, a chiropractor who also practices
medical acupuncture in Kilmarnock at Northern
Neck Chiropractic Acupuncture. “How did the Chinese know about electromagnetic flow 4,000 years
ago?”
ment that enhances immunity and promotes natural
healing. It follows the theory that the human body
has a number of acupuncture points connected via
pathways, or “meridians,” which are related to each
organ in the body. These pathways create an energy
flow called Qi (pronounced “chee”) through the
body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow by such things as stress, poor
diet, or lack of exercise can cause disease, pain and
a variety of other ailments.
Once the imbalances of Qi are detected, sterile,
hair-thin needles are placed in specific points to
open those meridians, unblocking the obstruction
and improving the flow and balance of Qi to nourish cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles.
Studies suggest acupuncture points are strategic
conductors of electromagnetic signals which when
stimulated, may start the flow of pain-killing biochemicals (endorphins) or release immune system

The procedure is safe and painless. Acupuncturists are certified and licensed. Needles are regulated
by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Patients report different feelings . . . but most
feel minimal discomfort as the needle is inserted,
according to a report from the University of Chicago Medical Center. Some people report feeling
energized by the treatment while others say they
feel relaxed.
“Most people fall asleep. It’s very sedative, relaxing,” noted Dr. Love.
Because improper placement of the needles can
cause soreness and pain during treatment, the report
stresses the importance of seeking treatment from a
qualified acupuncturist.
A few of the health
issues acupuncture can
effectively treat:

“What is Qi? I don’t know, I don’t have to know,
I don’t care,” said Dr. Steven Skinner, a veterinarian
who integrates acupuncture in treating animals at
Hartfield Animal Hospital. “If my patient has stagnant
Qi and I can get it flowing—I don’t care what it is.”
According to Chinese medicine, Qi is the vital
energy of life that flows around and through people
via the meridian pathways. It functions on the premise
that all of creation has a duo-energy balance known as
yin and yang.
For example, consider night (yin) and day (yang) as
two parts of the same whole—one precedes or follows
the other. Together, they are part of a continuous cycle
creating yin/yang energy. Within the 12 meridians of
the body, they work in yin/yang pairs to stimulate specific acu-points supporting physical, emotional and
mental well-being.
“Yin is the fluid balance in the body. Yang is the energetic warming aspect,” explained Edgar Chase, who is
licensed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With
a degree in philosophy and a masters in Oriental Medicine, Chase also offers herbal therapy at his practice at
Northern Neck Chiropractic Acupuncture.

Western medical doctors follow a standard perspective: What’s the diagnosis? Here’s the treatment.
“Classically, Western trained doctors will give medications—which sometimes works,” said Dr. Skinner.
“There are some things that Western medicine is just
not good at, but can be treated with acupuncture . . .
like chronic, ongoing disease.”
Western medicine treats the symptoms; acupuncture treats the cause, explained Chase.
As an example, he said a patient who suffers indigestion, also known as GERD or acid reflux, might
be treated by a physician using medicines that control
acid.

In contrast, “We treat the liver because it causes
the stomach to produce acid.”
Dr. Love noted acupuncture is preferable to chiropractic medicine for elderly patients whose bones
are too brittle for manipulation.
Other forms used to stimulate Qi are heat, pressure (acupressure), friction, suction and impulses of
electromagnetic energy. Dr. Love treats children as
young as middle school age using laser acupuncture
if they have a fear of needles.
Chase uses a roller which he runs along the child’s
meridians.
Acupuncture is based on the Chinese theory of
preventive medicine, said Chase. Thousands of years
ago, people paid the village doctor a monthly fee. If
a villager got sick, he couldn’t pay. So the doctor had
a vested interest in keeping them healthy,
“A superior physician prevents disease. An average one treats it,” Chase said.

25 seconds an American

one will die as a result,” says
Dr. Debra Braverman of the
Cardiology Department of

“Fatal heart attacks often
come without warning, but
most of us don’t realize they
are preventable.”
In addition to making
lifestyle changes such as
exercise, healthy diet, no
smoking, and managing
the stress in your life, Dr.
Braverman says new technology for heart health has

“Have a talk with your
doctor about a simple
treatment called EECP
(Enhanced External Counterpulsation), which is a
painless noninvasive, outpatient procedure for improving circulation to the heart,”
says Dr. Braverman.
Dr. Braverman says some
physicians familiar with
EECP therapy say it could
eventually replace most of
the drugs and invasive surgical procedures currently
used to treat cardiovascular
disease.
“Patients receiving EECP

Braverman. “Triggered by
the patient’s own heart beat,
the cuffs are inflated with
air during the heart’s resting phase, gently squeezing
the lower body and pumping
extra blood throughout the
body, especially to the heart
and coronary arteries.”
Just before the pumping
phase of the heart, the cuffs
deflate, making it easier for
the heart to pump blood
throughout the body.
“EECP therapy can relieve
pain and return mobility to
patients who are ineligible
or not good candidates to
receive invasive procedures,
but we feel that EECP
therapy can be an effective
first option for millions suffering from certain types
of coronary artery disease
prior to any other interventional procedures,” said Dr.

Get moving
It’s easy to fit physical
activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see
friends. Take a 10-minute
activity break every hour
while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb
stairs instead of taking an
escalator or elevator. Try to
do these things for a total of
30 minutes every day.

Cales. In 2009-10, it donated $50,000. And

The auxiliary’s efforts have helped the
hospital purchase new call bells for patient

Although Cales doesn’t officially give up

So, the odds are that Cales won’t be sitting down anytime soon.

Sleep like a baby at any age
by Mark Underwood
I
f your sleep patterns are changing as you grow older, you’re
not alone. As we age, we experience many age-related differences
like difficulty sleeping through the
night without constantly waking
up. For others, they may sleep for
a few hours, but it is always hard
to get back to sleep.
Sleep is essential to our mental
and physical health at any age, but
achieving quality sleep, on a regular basis, is a challenge for many
older adults.
During sleep the body produces important proteins called
cytokines which are essential to
the effectiveness of the immune
system in fighting off infections
and illnesses. If you have chronic
sleep problems you may have a
weaker defense system against
pathogens that cause a variety of
health problems.
Sleep and memory
As we age, the body produces
less growth hormone that regu-
lates deep sleep. Growing older
also means we produce less melatonin, the chemical that helps with
circadian rhythm—the wiring in
the brain that adjusts from night
to day. Less melatonin, means
sleep cycles with increased interruptions.
New research from the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) highlights how quality sleep, which
can include an afternoon nap,
helps cognition such as memory.
Remember the last time you
stayed up all night or hardly slept
at all? You probably felt severely
sleep deprived the next day and
your memory wasn’t as sharp.
Scientists believe that quality
sleep in older adults may help
repair some of the damage from
aging brain cells. This damage
may contribute to memory problems, concentration and other
important mental tasks. Lack of
sleep affects cognition, decisionmaking, and our ability to focus.
Fatigue from poor sleeping is
often a factor in accidents and

injuries.
Quality sleep is a basic maintenance measure. It keeps things
humming, similar to routine
oil changes that keep your car’s
engine running well. Sleep is not
only necessary to recharge the
body—it is now considered crucial to good brain health.
Investigate
Many variables contribute to
poor sleep, ranging from diet to
daily exercise. You can improve
the quality of sleep and overall
well being but first you have to
understand what’s contributing to
poor sleep. As millions of people
grow older, many experience agerelated sleeping patterns because
their days (and minds) are
crowded with anxiety and stress.
Insomnia in older adults can be
caused by many chronic conditions such as arthritis when pain
and discomfort may prevent the
body from getting needed rest.
Sleep apnea is another health
problem not uncommon in older
adults. This is a serious health
concern that disrupts sleep repeatedly throughout the night.
Another common concern is
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
where a person’s legs and arms
feel agitated and make it difficult
to fall asleep.
Fortunately, many of the
common factors that contribute to
poor sleep can be treated.
Take the following steps to
reduce fatigue and a lack of sleep
that takes its toll on your body.

Middlesex
native Amy Wright
Maloney who discovered the healing
power of yoga seven
years ago.
Doing the physical exercises of yoga prepares the body
for meditation so one can look inward
and calm the mind, explained Maloney,
who teaches yoga at several locations.
The idea is to chase away the internal
“clutter” that creates stressful physical
and emotional responses in the body.
Maloney explained that worrying can
release hormones that are not really good
for you. They can put the body in a state
of alert and tension ready for fight or
flight.
Further, memories of negative events
can be perpetuated by the brain. “You
still have that internal turmoil,” said
Health balanced
by Tom Chillemi
Maloney. “The whole point of yoga is to
calm the mind.”
It’s impossible to think of nothing,
she said. “When you quiet the mind you
notice how many thoughts you have.”
Moving the body and focusing on deep
breathing prepares you for meditation
and calming the mind, which releases
tension, she said. “When you give 100
percent of your attention to your body
and mind, all the chatter in the mind
slows down and ideally it ceases.”
Yoga is a learned response, and through
practice its effects can be improved.
“When you do it regularly, your body
and mind know what they need,” said
Maloney. “This is where a lot of intuitive knowledge comes from. People have
a lot of intuitive wisdom and yoga is a
way to bring it out.”
With practice you can tap into your
intuition, which comes from settling
down and just paying attention to your
body, she said.

of health and Maloney also has created the
Homegrown Market in Urbanna, which
features meats and vegetables from local
farms.
Much of the produce is “biologically
grown” without chemicals by her in-laws,
Charlie and Miriam Maloney of Dayspring
Farm in Cologne in lower King and Queen
County.
The beef is predominantly grass fed,
which produces a leaner meat with less fat.
The cattle’s diet is supplemented with grain
as needed. However, no growth hormones
are added and the cattle are not fed large
amounts of grain in a “feed lot,” Maloney
explained.
Her parents, Bonnie and William Wright
of Topping, are among those raising “natural” beef.
“The more I learned about food production, the more aware I became of problems
associated with unsustainable food systems that mistreat animals and poison our
environment,” said Maloney.
Acquiring foods locally also leaves a
low carbon footprint, since the food does
not have to be transported long distances,
she explained.
Hometown: Topping . . . she and her husband live a mile from where she grew up.
Describe yourself in three words: compassionate, patient, earnest.
What makes you happy? My family, animals, and yoga.
Who influenced you the most? My parents with their unconditional love and support.
What do you consider your greatest
achievement? My college degree, my yoga
certificate, and my Homegrown Market, but
I’m still working on everything.
What motivates you? Passion for life.
Advice or words to live by: Do at least
one positive, selfless thing every day.

YMCA have become very popular.

Walking is a “feel good” exercise Rosabeth Kissman said her YMCA

that they not only provide a motivating group setting that fosters
encouragement and accountability, but also provide a system of
offerings to help grow your fitness
potential no matter what the level,”
said Kissman.
“From the walker to the novice
runner to the intermediate runner
seeking personal records, the program offers nutritional clinics,
strength-training sessions and personalized shoe fittings to build
the best foundation for every team
member,” said Kissman.
As part of the Y’s continued
endeavor to encourage a sustainable
healthy lifestyle, the TIT program
now offers wellness checks throughout the program to track progress.
The wellness checks includes blood
pressure, weight, girth, BMI and
heart rate monitoring.

the 10K the team gathers at different locations throughout Middlesex
for mileage-specific training walks/
runs formulated for each level.
“They are experiencing the beauty
of our community while achieving
the huge accomplishment of participating in a race,” Kissman said.
The program also reaches out to
people who are not members of the
YMCA by offering complimentary
use of the Y facilities at Hartfield
throughout the training program
so they can explore other wellness
opportunities as they train.
Lisa Walker of Urbanna has
walked in the Ukrop’s 10K for the
past six years and is part of the
YMCA group this year. “It’s really
fun to go and do the race on Monument Avenue. It’s pretty scenery and
exciting to see all the people and
listen to the music. It’s really exciting.
This year’s 10K is expected to
have 42,000 participants of all
ages.
“It’s for walkers and runners. It’s
fun to walk with the group. It’s not a

This will be Claudia Soucek’s
third year in the 10K race. “It
started out as a challenge,” she said.
“I had a friend who did an 8K in the
fall and, I figured if she could do it,
then I could do it.
In her first race Soucek signed
up with her daughter, Marcie. “I
walked it and she ran it. When I
joined the training group, I got to
know the group and you become
committed to keep on doing it.
“The first year in the race I
pushed as hard as I could and did it
as fast as I possibly could,” she said.
“Last year, I didn’t take it quite as
seriously. They had bands along the
way playing music and I’d stop and
dance. It was a lot more fun.
“People cheer you on too,” said
Soucek. “Last year when I got to
about a mile and a half from the
finish line an older gentlemen came
out and said, ‘You can do it. I know
you can do it.’
“I guess, he saw my gray hair and
figured I needed encouragement,”
she said. “It really is a lot of fun.
You get caught up in it, and once
you realize that you can do it then
why not do it again?”
The Middlesex YMCA is looking to expand the TIT program to
include a half marathon training
program. The team also will train
for the second annual Deltaville 5K
set for June 30.
Still time to sign up
T
he Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10K presented by Martin’s topped
the 30,000 mark in total entries received by February 14.
The 10K is set for Saturday, March 31, and will accept up to 42,500
entries.
Over 1,000 youth runners ages 5-12 have registered for the Virginia
529 Kids Run, which crosses the same finish line as the 10K.
After a very successful 10K T-shirt Design Contest with nearly 50
entries, the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k is proud to show off this
year’s T-shirt design. The artist has requested to remain anonymous, but
he has been awarded $1,000 for the winning design as well as the opportunity to have his design featured on 45,000 T-shirts.
The goal of the contest was to find a design that fully portrays the
experience of the race. Since 2001, the 10K has grown to over 40,000
participants, tons of partying spectators, and has become a Richmond
institution. Add costumes, spirit groups, and bands to the historic beauty
of Monument Avenue, and you’ve got an amazing community event!
Registration is still open. The registration fee is $35 through February
29. The Virginia 529 Kids Run costs $15 through February 29. Registration is available online at www.sportsbackers.org or call (804) 2859495, ext. 247.

Dr. Oz’s top
three health
tips are:
1. Laughing eases stress, promotes social bonding, and lowers
blood pressure, it may also boost
your immune system. Bring some
humor into your life, whether it’s
through friends or even a TV show.
2. Don’t skip breakfast. Fiber
in the morning means less hunger
late in the afternoon, when you’re
most likely to feel tired and gorge
on sugar. My morning dose comes
from steel-cut oatmeal, usually
mixed with raisins, walnuts, and
flaxseed oil. An early start on
eating also keeps your metabolism
more active throughout the day.
3. Hit the sack. Conan and Dave
are funny, but they’re not worth the
strain on your system. Seven hours
of sleep a night not only helps you
live longer, but also lowers your
stress, sharpens your memory, and
reduces cravings for foods. Set a
bedtime and stick to it. My target is
10:30 p.m. I record the late shows
and watch them the next day as I
pedal a stationary bike.

Weekend Warrior or Pickle Baller?
Prevent Muscle Fever; The Workout Crash!
By Kara George, D.P.T.
N
ow that most of America
has given into the temptation of purchasing new
exercise gear, or buying the
infomercial’s latest-greatest
exercises guru’s DVD to
achieve the ultimate resolution of weight loss, we want
to feel the “burn” and progress too quickly into a new
exercise program and cause
increased muscle pain.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or an avid pickle
ball player, you can exercise
yourself into oblivion feeling
the “pain” of Delayed Onset
Muscle Soreness (DOMS),
also known as Muscle Fever.
DOMS consists of muscle
soreness felt 12 to 48 hours
following
exercises
and
is the normal response to
increased exertion that is part
of the adaptation process that
leads to greater stamina and
strength as muscles recover
and build.
Statistically, the soreness
of muscle fever is at its worst
within the first two days following the activity and then
subsides over the next few
days.
DOMS occurs hours after
the exercise is over, compared to muscle strains and
sprains which are felt as an
abrupt, specific and sudden
pain often causing swelling
and bruising. Hence, 90% of
the American population has
experienced DOMS at some
point in their life. But, this
microscopic tearing of the
muscle fibers, and soreness,
depends on how hard and how
long exercise is performed,
and what type.
However, if you are still
feeling the “pain” one -week
post to starting a new exercise
program, there is probably
reason to dig deeper into your
complaints.

Bay HealthStyles s &EBRUARY Is there life without ice cream?

I
People know to
fertilize their plants,
but do they do the
same for their body?
t’s amazing our bodies last as long
as they do considering all the use,
misuse and abuse we subject them
to.
Aches come and go and are easy to
ignore. A few extra ounces add up to
pounds so slowly its hard to perceive.
But it’s hard to ignore the sluggish
feeling of having no energy.
In my case it seemed almost hopeless. I tried, to no avail, to diagnose
how I had gotten in this shape. What
did I need to change?
But what’s important is not what’s
behind, but what is ahead.
)NEEDEDAMIRACLE4HATSWHEN
my wife came to my rescue. She has
gotten into the health loop through
yoga and knew of a master nutritionist
who told me all the things I had been
doing wrong.
I came away from the consultation
with a bag of supplements and an new
appreciation of how the body functions—even when it’s treated badly.
Not only was I not getting needed
nutrients from my diet, I was eating
the wrong thing at the worst time. It
was time for me to change and to eat
to live, instead of living to eat.
I had a bad ice cream habit. In the
middle of the day I would think about
that dish of ice cream I would have at
night—the absolute wrong time of day

I had a bad ice cream habit. In the
middle of the day I would think about

night—the absolute wrong time of day
to eat sweets or carbohydrates.
sugar and then the CRASH!
I needed to “throw a log on the fire at
night.” Sleep is when our bodies repair
themselves.
Eating high glycemic foods meant I was
crashing in my sleep.
Eliminating grains was another recommendation. Here again, I was a “breadaholic.”
Carbohydrates, such as bread and cereals, cause a glycemic spike. By eliminating
them, I was forced to eat foods that were
good for me, like beans and greens.
I discovered quinoa (keen-wa). It’s a seed
from South America and a relative of beets
and spinach. It contains good quantities of
calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
Quinoa has a subtle, neutral flavor and
can take the place of rice, or in my case,
bread. It’s dense properties makes it very
filling. I felt full about halfway through a
cup serving. And, there was no crash.
Water is essential. Some hunger
pains are associated with thirst.
Divide your body weight in half and
you have the number of ounces of water
you should be drinking daily. Caffeine
drives water from your body, so limit
intake and drink more water to make up
for the loss caused by caffeine. (Make
sure your “sweet tea” is decaffeinated,
especially in summer.)
Another recommendation was taking
an Epson salt bath. It’s a time-tested
remedy for sore muscles. Just relaxing
for 10 minutes in hot water is therapy
for muscles and a way to quiet your
mind and nervous system for sleep.

her business six years ago after foot detox reversed a
condition she had.
Javier had been spray painting houses and believes
the paint toxins got into her system. She gained 40

attach to the negative ions and are carried back to the
foot bath, said Javier, adding that the feet have the
most and the largest pores of the body.
After about 30 minutes in the bath, the body’s
vital organs have been purged of metals and built-up
toxins are released through the feet, Javier explained.
Detox also helps balance the body’s pH, and it
increases circulation.
Watching the water turn a brown nasty color got
me thinking about what was inside of me. Javier said
the different colors in the water indicate which area
of the body is being purged. For example, dark in the
