Tis the Season to Be Jolly and Pain Free!By Dr. Greg Fors, DC, DIBCN
Board-certifi ed Neurologist The holiday season is now just around the corner. It is a time for joy, merriment and laughter. However, if your life is challenged by chronic pain and/or fatigue, it makes it very hard to enjoy this most blessed season. If you suffer from this, then give the greatest present you could give to yourself and your family, that of pain-free vibrant health. To accomplish this, you need to stop pursuing easy answers to complex problems, you must stop treating symptoms and identify your underlying causes. Chronic pain and fatigue are the primary signals that your body is not running properly; it’s just like the “Check Engine” light on the dashboard of your car. Taking drugs to block the pain is like putting a piece of electrical tape over the light while your engine slowly deteriorates. If your muscles hurt when you exert them, and fatigue haunts you, then your body is signaling that something is metabolically wrong. Along with these symptoms you may be noticing other health issues such as digestive problems, mood swings and brain fog. These symptoms are also signaling that there is a loss of cellular health and vitality. This especially can occur in energy demanding tissues such as muscles, the digestive tract and your brain. The loss of cellular vitality not only leads to pain and disability, but research is now showing it is connected to higher rates of early mortality from preventable diseases. This debilitating condition, often referred to as Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, is caused by nutritional defi ciencies, hormonal imbalances and cellular poisoning resulting from our modern diets, a wide range of chemical exposure, and chronic infections! Many individuals, in fact more than one in 50, now suffer from it. Because fi bromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome is a bodywide disorder, individuals reported an extremely wide variety of symptoms, some more common than others. A full 100% of people with FMS have muscular pain, aching and/or stiffness, and about half suffer severe headaches. Almost all suffer from fatigue, insomnia and depression. Up to 73% of FMS patients have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and digestive problems. Individuals with FMS/CFS very commonly suffer from brain health issues, with poor focus and memory or ‘brain fog’, including depression, anxiety, and sleep apnea. Individuals with FMS commonly report easy bruising, itchy skin, rashes, irritable bladders, mouth ulcers, restless leg syndrome, allergies and reoccurring viral infections. This wide variety of symptoms gives witness to the fact that throughout the body and brain there is not enough energy being distributed to properly run and keep cellular tissues in good repair. This ‘gumming-up’ of your cell function (e.g. muscle, nerve, skin) primarily involves chronic infl ammation and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is when free radicals, from poor diet and chemical exposure, buildup in tissues and cause damage to cells, thus turning on infl ammation. Frequently prescribed drugs for fi bromyalgia such as Lyrica, Cymbalta and Tramadol cover up symptoms but do nothing to treat the underlying metabolic problems. There is hope, it can be conquered. Research shows that standard testing is inadequate to properly evaluate fi bromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. There are unique functional laboratory tests that can help determine the underlying metabolic dysfunction in individuals with FMS/CFS. A doctor must be trained in utilizing and properly interpreting biomarkers from these tests, to make them useful in the patient’s recovery. In virtually every patient I treat with chronic pain and fatigue, I fi nd the indicators of oxidative stress and chronic infl ammation elevated. When I utilize these tests, and treat the properly identifi ed metabolic issues, I have personally witnessed improvement hundreds of times with patients. Want to know more? Please attend one of my FREE public workshops where I will discuss how fi bromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome can be conquered. Seating for these workshops is limited. They will be held at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 14; Monday, November 19; Wednesday, November 28 and Monday, December 3. All are held at the Pain and Brain Healing Center. Please call 763-862-7100 to reserve a seat today. More information and directions can be found on our web site www.painandbrainhealingcenter.com.

► On Nov. 12, 1864, Union Gen. William T. Sherman orders the business district of Atlanta destroyed before he embarks on his famous March to the Sea through Georgia to prevent the Confederates from recovering anything once the Yankees had abandoned it.
► On Nov. 16, 1901, a low-slung car called the “Torpedo Racer” -- basically a square platform on bicycle wheels -- breaks the world speed record for electric cars in Coney Island, N.Y., by going 1 mile down the straight dirt track in just 63 seconds. That’s about 57 mph. Today the world speed record for an electric vehicle is about 245 mph.
► On Nov. 14, 1914, in Constantinople, capital of the Ottoman Empire, the religious leader Sheikh-ul-Islam declares an Islamic holy war on behalf of the Ottoman government, urging his Muslim followers to take up arms against Britain, France, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro.
► On Nov. 13, 1953, a member of the Indiana Textbook Commission calls for the removal of references to the book “Robin Hood” from textbooks used by the state’s schools. She claimed that Robin Hood was a communist
because he robbed the rich and gave it to the poor.
► On Nov. 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets -- and no one sees it. In a debacle which would become known as “Heidi Bowl,” with just 65 seconds left to play, NBC broke away from the game to air its previously scheduled programming, the movie “Heidi.”
► On Nov. 22, 1900, the fi rst car to be produced under the Mercedes name is taken for its inaugural drive in Cannstatt, Germany. The car was specially built for Emil Jellinek, a fan of fast, fl ashy cars. He bought 36 of them. In exchange, the company agreed to name the car after Jellinek’s 11-year-old daughter, Mercedes.
► On Nov. 21, 1934, teenager Ella Fitzgerald wins Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Putting her name in the hat on a bet, she’d originally planned a dance number. History was made when she changed her mind and sang “The Object of My Affection.”
► On Nov. 23, 1959, Robert Stroud, the famous “Birdman of Alcatraz,” is released from solitary confi nement for the fi rst time since 1916. For 15 years, Stroud lived among canaries brought to him by visitors, and he became an expert in birds and ornithological diseases. In 1943, Stroud’s Digest of the Diseases of Birds, a 500-page text that included his own illustrations, was published to general acclaim.
► On Nov. 25, 1963, President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated three days earlier, is buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. An eternal fl ame was lit by his widow to forever mark the grave.

• Level of happiness also affects an individual’s health. Data indicates that happier people have lower levels of hypertension and lower blood pressure. Those who use humor to cope with diffi culties have stronger immune systems, and are less likely to get sick. They have fewer doctor visits, use less medication, and are much less likely to experience substance abuse. • Do you think you’d be happier if you just had more money? Not so, say researchers! Income actually has a weak effect on levels of happiness. In the workplace, employees seem to gain more satisfaction from their rank, position, and sense of achievement than they do from their pay. Surprisingly, spending money on others – as little as $5 a day – creates a boost in happiness levels. • Wondering what you can do to increase your happiness level? Since 40% of happiness is subject to self-control, a person’s deliberate choices and intentional activities can amp up cheerfulness and contentment. High-quality social relationships contribute to life satisfaction, and research indicates that married people are generally happier than single ones. Socializing with cheerful people increases the likelihood of being happier.
• Think happy thoughts! The average woman has 60,000 thoughts a day – can you believe that 48,000 of them are negative? Avoiding “negative self-talk” can improve attitude and enhance happiness. Rather than saying, “I’m not good at this,” try, “What can I do to get better at this?” Substitute “That’s too diffi cult,” with “I’m going to give it a try.” Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones allows you to focus on all that is good in life. Keeping a journal listing three things that went well each day produces satisfaction and contentment as well. • Having an “attitude of gratitude” is one of the best ways to possess emotional well-being. Counting your blessings causes you to consider all that is valuable in your life. Gratitude during the bad times actually helps you cope with and adjust to adversity, helping you bounce back to that happiness set point. Taking stock of all you have and recalling contributions others have made for you cause you to be more likely to help others and be less materialistic and envious of others, as well as alleviating bitterness. • You are what you eat! Did you know that a diet low in fi ber has been linked to depression? Likewise, a Vitamin B-12 defi ciency can produce irritability and depression. Residents of countries who eat the most fi sh possess the lowest
rates of depression. A wide variety of whole foods provides brain-enhancing nutrients, causing your mind to be sharper and more energized. Too much sugar can contribute to shrinkage in the areas of the brain involved in regulating your moods. • Letting go of offenses, anger, and resentment is a sure-fi re way to be happier and healthier. Brooding and obsessing over wrongs done to you and refusing to forgive takes its toll on your happiness levels as well as your physical health. • Don’t worry, be happy! Worriers experience muscle tension, agitation, irritability, sleep problems, diffi culty with concentration, and an inability to relax. They spend much of their time trying to predict the future, and worrying about all that could go wrong. Much of the problem involves trying to solve issues that are not solvable. As Mark Twain said, “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” • Increase your positive outlook with random acts of kindness. Research has established that these acts induce positive thoughts and can alleviate negative feelings. It seems that individuals get a strong sense that they’re doing something that matters, and subsequently, mood is enhanced.
• What about age? Studies have determined that people in their mid- to late-50s are happier, worry less, and have less stress than young adults in their 20s. Part of that fi nding may be that older people have learned how to control their emotions over the years. • Positive mindsets can be elevated by visualizing your “best possible self.” This involves imagining success at your life goals, realization of your life dreams, and achievement of your best potential, followed up with using this to guide your current decisions. • Practice optimism! Happy folks look at the bright side of each negative situation and fi nd the silver lining in every black cloud.• Unhappy people watch 30% more TV. Happier ones are out socializing, exercising, reading, volunteering, or attending religious services. And along that line, studies show that spiritual and religious people are happier and healthier than others. • Regular vigorous exercise reduces stress and contributes to great levels of fulfi llment. Joggers are 70% less likely to have a high level of stress and dissatisfaction with life. Just 17 to 34 minutes per day produces a signifi cant difference. Need more good news? Exercise also contributes to lasting cognitive functioning in old age.

▲ “During the holidays (the height of baking season for me), I keep a large plastic saltshaker fi lled with fl our and a bit of dry rice. The rice helps the fl our to shake
out without getting clumped up, and I use it to dust cake pans, rolling pins, kneading boards, etc.” -- W.F. in Canada
▲ “One of the household cleaners I prefer comes in a spray bottle, and it’s on the expensive side. I
make sure to get all of the liquid out by adding some regular glass marbles to the bottle. The marbles displace the liquid, ensuring it fi nds the bottom of the sprayer’s suction tube.” -- T.H. in Mississippi
▲ “Stack hockey pucks in the holes of a cardboard soda six-pack carrier. Tell your coach. And to keep them bouncy, store them in your freezer (as long as your mom says it’s OK).” -- Eric, via e-mail
▲ Keep the fog off your glasses by cleaning them with shaving cream. It will prevent mist-ups when you come in from the cold.
▲ Save your citrus peels and dry them to use for kindling in your fi re. They contain fl ammable oils, and they smell pretty good, too.
▲ Got soap scum? Mix dishwashing detergent with baking soda and use it to scrub bathroom walls. It’s very effective, and surprisingly gentle, as baking soda is a mild abrasive that works well without scratching.
▲ “Unless the label states otherwise, the best rinse temperature for clothing is cold water. It will help the clothing retain its shape and color better, and --bonus -- it’s the least-expensive setting.” -- I.F. in Texas
▲ When whipping egg whites, make sure you bring the eggs to room temperature beforehand. They will yield greater volume.
▲ Store asparagus in the fridge only for a few days before serving. Trim the cut end and use wet paper towels to wrap it. Keep it in the crisper drawer.

After more than 35 years of cooking,
I’ve had my share of Thanksgiving Day disasters! Here are some secrets
to saving your sanity and your
Thanksgiving dinner:
HOW TO QUICKLY DEFROST A TURKEY: You’ll need at least 24 to 48 hours (about 5 hours per pound) to thaw out a frozen turkey in the refrigerator. If you need to do a quick thaw, place the wrapped, frozen turkey in your kitchen sink or a large container like an ice chest. Cover the turkey with cold water. Drain and refi ll the water every half hour because as the bird thaws out, the water will get warmer. Using this method, the turkey will thaw at the rate of about a half hour for each pound.PREPARING THE BIRD: Remove the giblet package (neck, livers, heart and gizzards) from inside the cavity of the bird AND check the neck cavity. Some manufacturers place the giblet package in the neck cavity, and others place it inside the cavity closest to the legs. Most turkeys come with the legs already trussed (crossed and secured with a metal or plastic bracket). If you’re not going to stuff your bird, there’s no need to truss the legs. Trussing an unstuffed bird hinders the hot oven air from circulating inside and around the legs. This means that the dark meat will take longer to cook and the breast meat will cook faster and probably dry out before the legs ever get completely done.THE TURKEY ISN’T DONE: Don’t rely on the “pop-up” timer in the turkey, as it usually means that the breast is overcooked and the dark meat isn’t done. If the dark meat isn’t done, remove the wings and breast meat from the rest of the turkey, in one piece, if possible. Cover the breast and wing portion with foil and set it aside. Put the drumsticks and thigh
portion of the turkey back into the oven to continue cooking until done. You can re-assemble the whole turkey and garnish it, or just cut it into serving portions and arrange it on a platter. STUFFING SAVERS: If the stuffi ng/dressing is too wet, spread it out in a thin layer on a sheet pan so that it will dry quickly. Place it back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. If it’s too dry, add more pan drippings or chicken broth to the mixture. If you don’t have any more drippings or broth, you can combine a chicken bouillon cube (if you have one), along with a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, three tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of water. Cook the mixture in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Stir to combine and then add it, a little at a time, to the dressing until it’s moist.SOUPY MASHED POTATOES: You can add unseasoned dry breadcrumbs to soupy mashed potatoes to absorb any excess liquid.GRAVY RESCUE TIPS: If the gravy is lumpy, pour it through a strainer into a new pan and bring it to a simmer, stirring gently. If it’s too thin, mix a tablespoon of melted butter with a tablespoon of fl our. Bring the gravy up to a boil and whisk in the butter mixture to thicken your gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth, pan drippings or a little water and butter to thin it out. BURNT OFFERINGS: If the turkey begins to burn while it’s roasting, fl ip the bird over immediately and continue to cook it. After the turkey is done, you can remove and discard any blackened skin and about half an inch of the meat below any burnt area. Slice the remaining breast meat, arrange it on a platter and ladle gravy over it.MORE TIPS: If your vegetables or gravy burn on the bottom, carefully remove the layer that isn’t burned into another pot or serving dish. DON’T SCRAPE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. If the dinner rolls are burned on the bottom, just cut off as much as you can, butter them, and fold them in half to cover the missing ends. Whipped cream is the perfect “make-up” for desserts that aren’t quite up to par. You can cut the top layer off a burnt pie and cover it with whipped cream.

• Joseph S t r a u s s was born in Cincinnati in 1870. He was short, but he nevertheless tried out for the school football team. As a result, he spent several weeks recovering in the infi rmary, where the window in his room offered a view of the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge, which was America’s fi rst long-span suspension bridge. Strauss subsequently developed a fascination with bridges. When he graduated from college with degrees in business and economics, his commencement address presented a proposal to construct a railroad bridge across the Bering Strait, linking Alaska and Russia.• Strauss got a job working for a foundry where he learned the ropes of steel and iron manufacturing, and then went to work for a bridge building company. Later, he went to work for an engineering fi rm, and then started his own engineering fi rm in 1904. His specialty was drawbridges, and he constructed around 400 of them. However, he dreamed of something more challenging, so when offi cials from San Francisco approached him in 1919 about spanning the Golden Gate Strait, he jumped at the chance, even though he had never constructed a single suspension bridge. He didn’t even have a degree in engineering. It took more than a decade for Strauss and city offi cials to convince the public that a bridge should be built. In the midst of the Great Depression, a city bond raised the funds needed, and
work on the Golden Gate Bridge began in 1933.• There were many challenges to overcome: deep water, turbulent currents, corrosive fogs, high winds, and heavy sea traffi c. Strauss asked for help from engineering visionaries Charles Ellis and Leon Moissieff, whose contributions were essential in refi ning the design and overcoming the engineering challenges. He then downplayed their involvement so that he would get more of the limelight. To his credit, his insistence on rigid safety measures prevented many deaths and proved that large projects could be completed safely when worker’s health and well-being was given a priority, which was not typically the case at the time. He wanted people using his bridge while admiring the workers who built it; he was horrifi ed by the thought that wives and children and parents might one day be crossing the bridge while remembering the husbands and fathers and sons who died during its construction. He also instituted the policy of hiring men for the duration of the entire project in a day and age when construction workers were more typically hired on a daily basis. He wanted continuity among workers and did not want to be constantly training newly hired men, because the work was so dangerous. • His health began to fail during the construction, which lasted four years. He was once gone from the site for a six-month stretch, leading to rumors he’d had a nervous breakdown. Yet, he managed to see the project through to the end, and proudly walked across the completed bridge on the day it was opened to the public. Strauss died of a heart attack a year later, at the age of 68. He is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery, with a bas-relief of the bridge etched in brass mounted upon his tombstone.

Turkey-BitsTurkey-Bits● Only tom turkeys gobble; hen turkeys make a clicking noise.
● A turkey can drown if it looks up when it rains. Another medical oddity of the turkey -- it can die of fright. Turkeys near Air Force test areas apparently had heart attacks when the sound barrier was broken overhead.
● Turkeys sometimes sleep in trees at night.
● Wild turkeys have excellent vision -- about a 270-degree fi eld of vision compared with the human’s 200 degrees -- and they can see in color. They have no external ears, but have impeccable hearing.
● Turkeys are the only poultry native to the Western Hemisphere.
● It’s estimated that turkeys have 3,500 feathers at maturity. The costume that Big Bird wears on “Sesame Street” is rumored to be made of turkey feathers.
● Wild turkeys can fl y for short distances up to 55 mph and can run 20 mph sustained. Domesticated turkeys cannot fl y.
● A turkey typically has about 70 percent white meat and 30 percent dark meat.
