Can you believe that another year is coming to a close? Why is it that the older we get, the faster the years seem to come and go? While our bodies

gradually slow down, time inevitably gains speed. If only we could reverse that paradox!

This being my last column of the calendar year, I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to our loyal readers for sticking with us for yet another 12 issues. Midway through our fifth year of publishing, our reach is still growing. Today, a circulation of nearly 80,000 copies make The Health Journal Hampton Roads’ largest monthly magazine.

Our staff (and hopefully, you) would agree that 2009 has reflected some of our best work. We’re careful to pack each issue with inspirational patient stories, up-close interviews, informative physician-written columns

and exciting health and medical news on a local and national scale. This year’s cover stories ranged from the serious—like traumatic brain injury (March 09) and heroin use among local teens (May 09)—to the more lighthearted subjects of pet therapy (Feb. 09) and, finally, this month’s cover on healthy holiday recipes. (You can find all of our past articles as well as this month’s issue online at www.thehealthjournals.com.)

For the last two months we encouraged readers to enter The Health Journal’s first-ever Healthy Holiday Recipe Contest; you’ll find the two winning recipes and a few other top entries in “Holiday Lites,” starting on page 20. Some of our staff members also chimed in with a few delicious dishes of their own (find Grandma Natalie’s Cranberry-Apple Casserole, which I mentioned in October’s Letter from the Editor, on page 24).

Some of my favorite articles are those that include input from our staff, such as this month’s recipe lineup and November’s “Beauty and the Budget,” which featured recession-friendly health and beauty tips. I frequently recruit staffers to rate all kinds of products from light yogurt to cosmetics and more. Speaking of staff: on page 38, read my interview with THJ Medical Editor Dr. Ravi Shamaiengar, a radiologist serving two Peninsula hospitals. In our interview, Shamaiengar (who’s also my uncle-in-law) talks topics from health care reform to the pros and cons of running a family business.

In our inaugural issue of 2009—the same month we profiled famed heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz (an editorial highlight, for sure)—staffers revealed their top health-related New Year’s resolutions. Revisiting that issue reminded me of my forgotten pledge—to start a serious running routine this past spring.

Like so many of us tend to do at the start of a new year—or after a major life event such as having a baby or, say, a birthday that ends in a zero (two things that happened to hit me this year)—I pushed myself too hard, literally. Just a few weeks after Camden’s birth I stoically set out to fulfill my resolution—pushing all of myself, plus the baby, plus one seriously weighty jogging stroller, up a steep hill that marked the final stretch of my 45-minute course. Talk about an uphill battle!

After a few weeks of this routine, my aching ankles and a click-click-clicking sound in my knees signaled that it was time to slow the pace. I established a more reasonable walking routine with another new mom and have since found that fitness and friendship really do mesh well.

With just four weeks left in the year and facing an unfulfilled resolution, I’ve made one overriding pledge for the year ahead: To limit such unrealistic self-goals and, if I do feel inclined to make a resolution, remind myself that lasting change requires that little virtue called patience.

Please enjoy our year-end issue, and we’ll see you again in 2010. Until then, from our family to yours—we wish you all the joys of the season and a healthy, happy new year.

Circulation“I have been receiving The Health Journal at my home, and I have looked forward to receiving and reading it each month. However, I am about to move out of state, and wonder if it is possible to continue receiving your publication at my new home in North Carolina. Thank you for your attention, and good luck with future issues....This is a great newspaper!”

Ed.: Subscriptions are available for $24 a year.

Kudos“Thanks for providing this service!”

–Kim S.

“I read your Journal cover to cover when I get it in my York County mailbox every month.”

–Amy M.

“I loved your [Nov. 2009] Letter from the Editor. We all know folks who are so thrifty. I often pick up things at consignment shops and thrift stores. Keep up the good articles.”

–Donna M.

“A great source of information!”–Raymond F.

Re: “Understanding the Public Option”“It’s a shame that in the last issue of The Health Journal you did not adequately or appropriately represent the proposed health care bill, or its real cost to taxpayers. After reading “Understanding the Public Option”[Nov. 2009], people might actually be foolish enough to believe that what is being proposed might be good for them. You neglected to mention that abortions may be covered by taxpayer dollars and that illegal aliens can get a free ride, again courtesy of the American taxpayer. Give up your doctors, your choices, your timely and quality care? Work harder, and hand over your money? What’s this world coming to?

–Noreen H.

Ed.: Using the information available prior to press time, we aimed to present a brief, objective summary of the public option and where it stood in the legislative process. We gathered input from several local

residents, including opinions from both sides. To cover all of the aspects of this individual piece of health care reform would have required more space than we had available in that issue.

Re: “Beauty and the Budget” “I read your article with tips for making your own body lotion [Nov. 2009], and I am interested in trying it, too. Can you tell me where I can purchase shea butter and cocoa butter in bulk? After doing some initial searches on the Internet, I am confused as to what is natural, organic, etc. Please help!”

–Connie M.

Ed.: Try this website: www.mountainroseherbs.com. According to Administrative Assistant Danielle DiSalvo, who orders from the site, the prices are reasonable and the customer service is outstanding. To answer your other question, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines “organic” products as those produced without the use of/contains no chemicals or pesticides, while “natural” means the product was not chemically altered (but not necessarily that it was naturally grown).

Bon Secours Home CareCelebrates 30 Years Bon Secours Home Care, part of Bon Secours Hampton Roads, celebrated its 30th anniversary last month during Home Care and Hospice Month. Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center, which opened in October 1979, was the second hospital in the state to offer home care and the first hospital-based home care agency in the area to earn Medicare certification. The hospice program was added in 1985. The agency now serves 500 home care patients and 50 hospice patients each month.

Three New DoctorsJoin Bon SecoursHampton RoadsBon Secours Hampton Roads Health System has welcomed the Ghent and Oceana Patient Choice team of medical experts. They include: Frank Westmeyer, M.D., board-certified in internal medicine and emergency medicine; Biswa Bhattacharyya, M.D., board-certified in family medicine; and Randall Fedro, M.D., board-certified in family medicine.

EVMS Chair of SurgeryNamed to Lead College of SurgeonsL.D. Britt, M.D., MPH, the Brickhouse Professor and chair of surgery at Eastern Virginia Medical School, has been named the president-elect of the American College of Surgeons, the world’s largest organization of surgeons. Dr. Britt received the designation at the College’s Clinical Congress in Chicago last month. He will be president-elect until his inauguration as the organization’s president next fall. During the past year, Britt led the ACS’s 22-member governing board and spoke nationally on causes the ACS has championed, such as ensuring patients’ access to care and curing a shortage of general surgeons.

Whipping out a camera to record a child’s every mile-stone is standard practice for most parents. But when

a child is battling a serious illness, taking pictures isn’t a pri-ority—even though that child likely is a portrait in strength.

Jessica Oatman offers parents of such children the gift of preserving those chapters in their child’s life. A professional photographer and the mother of a child with cancer, Oat-man founded Images of HOPE, a non-profit that offers free portrait sessions of kids battling life-threatening illnesses. Each family gets both color and black-and-white shots and a disc that holds about 30 different pictures.

“So many people have helped my family that I wanted to give back to other families,” says Oatman, a Williamsburg mother of three. “I want to document what these children go through and capture them in their natural state. If a child passes away, having those pictures is a blessing. If the child survives, the parent can look back and say, ‘Look how hard he fought—and he won.’ Years later, no matter what hap-pens, these images will be the memory of a hero.”

Oatman’s oldest child, four-year-old Montana, was diag-nosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age two. Doctors first thought Montana had the flu; he was sleeping all the time and didn’t have the strength to play. On his fourth trip to the doctor, however, blood tests detected cancer. Montana’s can-cer is in remission now, but he still undergoes daily chemo-therapy treatments at home—using a liquid medication—and weekly sessions at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk. At the hospital, doctors deliver the drugs through a port, or tube, in Montana’s chest, which often takes three to four hours at a time. Montana also travels to St. Jude Chil-

dren’s Research Hospital in Tennessee for spinal taps every few months.

Chemotherapy takes a toll. Montana regularly loses his hair, and one steroid medication causes intense mood swings and food cravings. Early treatments were so hard on the toddler’s joints that he had to relearn how to walk. While his en-

ergy is fairly high today, Montana has to be careful not to wear himself out. But, his mother says, “His strength is in-credible.”

Oatman hopes to spread the word about Images of HOPE (www.hopeconquers.org) and add more volunteer photogra-phers across the country. “I hope it will help families,” she says, “and also bring more awareness to childhood cancers and other illnesses.”

The Giving Spirit

WRITTEN BY ALISON JOHNSON

The holidays are a time for giving—but not just within families. Meet three local women who are giving of

their time and resources to help others less fortunate.

“Years later, no matter what happens, these images will be the memory of a hero.”

—Jessica Oatman

Photographer Jessica Oatman founded Images of HOPE after her oldest child—four-year-old Montana—was diagnosed with leukemia. Montana's cancer has gone into remission, but Oatman remains dedicated to giving other local families a chance to capture the moment.

CREATING SMILES

Michael Boyd is the type of person who loves to smile, despite all the medical

problems he’s struggled with—a near-death experience related to diabetes, partial ampu-tation of his right foot, blood clots in his leg and a hip replacement with another to come. But over the years, the health of Boyd’s teeth declined so much that his broad grin turned into a tight smile with closed lips. At 54, his dental disease was so severe that he also was at high risk for heart attack, stroke and pos-sible infection of his prosthetic hip. Unfor-tunately, the Hampton resident—a disabled machine welder—knew he could never af-ford the work he needed.

Then in stepped Dr. Lisa Marie Samaha, a Newport News dentist who recently held a “Smile Makeover Contest” to find locals deserving of free dental care. Samaha and her staff wanted to help people who had a life-threatening level of dental disease and a limited income but who still maintain an optimistic outlook on life and display a passion for helping others. Boyd, who regularly takes seniors from his church on errands and visits disabled veterans in the hospital, fit the bill. Along with a second winner, Terri Cane of Williamsburg, he will undergo tens of thousands of dollars worth of pro-cedures to improve his health and smile.

“It is God’s gift from heaven,” says Boyd, who needed all his teeth pulled and chose new teeth from a variety of options. “I started feeling a lot different right after she took my teeth out. I have more energy, like my body knows it’s better off with those bad teeth gone. I know when it’s done I’m going to feel amazing. I’m going to smile every chance I get.”

Samaha, who hopes to finish both pa-tients’ makeovers before Christmas, says the contest was a way to thank the commu-nity that supports her business and draw attention to the dangers of dental disease. “Even in challenging economic times our practice has thrived, and this is a display of our gratefulness,” she says. “I didn’t want

it to be a glamour contest. This is really about health and quality of life.”

Terri Cane, a 49-year-old registered nurse with Sen-tara Healthcare, had suffered daily pain from her de-caying teeth, which she neglected for years due in part to a crippling fear of dentists. Cane, also a mother of four, wanted a smile makeover not for herself but for her family and the patients she treats. “A nurse’s smile means so very much,” she says. “It conveys kindness, empathy, reassurance, confidence and professionalism. I want to be able to freely share my smile with others.”

Soon, like Boyd, she will get her wish.

Dr. Lisa Marie Samaha (right) presents Terri Cane and son Noah with a plaque recognizing Cane as one of two win-

ners of Samaha’s “Smile Makeover Contest.” Says Cane, a registered nurse: “A nurse’s smile means so very much.”

This is the sixth year that Krance’s office has orga-nized the program, which draws in volunteers of all ages from businesses, schools, law enforcement agen-cies, the Girl Scouts and other community organiza-tions (call 757-886-1230 for information on how to get

involved). Leaders collect the names of seniors, along with each person’s gift requests, from sources such as the Peninsula Agency on Aging. The names then go on ornaments that hang on trees at local Wal-Mart stores; shoppers can take an ornament, buy the gifts and leave them at customer service for volunteers to pick up. Home Instead organizes two public wrapping parties (see box at right) and helps coordinate mid-December deliveries to nursing homes, senior centers, Meals-on-Wheels recipients and low-income housing complexes.

“Be a Santa to a Senior” is a nationwide effort for Home Instead, and the local program is one of its most successful gift drives, Krance says. This year, her office expects to deliver about 8,000 gifts to more than 2,000 seniors. Each person receives at least three gifts, and most get four or five, often presented by volunteers in elf outfits and a costumed Santa Claus.

“What I love is that it really brings the entire com-munity together,” Krance says. “The holidays are such a family-oriented time that people can get caught up in their own families—or they focus mainly on children in the community. They tend to forget about our seniors, and we want [seniors] to be part of the celebration, too.”

Most of the gifts that go to people in the annual “Be a Santa to a Senior” program are very modest—blan-

kets, slippers, sweat suits, flashlights, lotions or other toiletries. But to a lonely or financially strapped senior, the feeling of being remembered at Christmas is priceless.

“They’re so appreciative, no matter what they get,” says Hollie Krance, owner of Home Instead Senior Care (a fran-chise that serves the Peninsula and Williamsburg), who leads the effort. “They open up a box of tissues or a bath and body set, and you would have thought you’d bought them a new car. They’re smiling and crying and so happy.” HJ

You can be a ‘Santa to a Senior!’

Home Instead Senior Care needs volunteers at two upcoming “wrapping parties.” Just bring one roll of wrapping paper and a pair of scissors to either of these events (adults only, please):

Dec. 9, at noon, at the Midtown Com-munity Center (570 McLawhorne Dr., Newport News)

Dec. 11, at noon, at the Quarterpath Recreation Center (202 Quarterpath Rd., Williamsburg)

Call (757) 886-1230 for more information.

“We want seniors to be part of the celebration, too.”

On Oct. 23, Child Development Resources (CDR) in Williamsburg hosted graduate students from James Madison University who are

studying early intervention for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. The group learned about CDR’s collaboration with early childhood professionals as well as the center’s developmental playgroups and program planning. Pictured is CDR Executive Director Paul Scott with visiting students and faculty.

The pediatric dental office of Drs. Rubenstein, Avent and Huie (located in Newport News) encouraged parents and children to

trade in their uneaten Halloween candy in exchange for cash during its “Candy Buy Back” event held last month. The practice offered $2 for every pound of candy returned and donated half of that amount to the Ronald McDonald House in Norfolk. The candy was then sent, along with letters from local children, to men and women serving overseas in the U.S. military. A total of 421 pounds of candy was collected, and $432 was given to the Ronald McDonald House.

Registered Nurses Antoinette “Toni” Higgins (left), Bobbie Butler (center) and Jessica Farzaneh—clinical staff members at Bon

Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth—have collaborated with former colleague Dr. Melissa M. Gomes on an article that will appear in an upcoming edition of the Journal of Emergency Nursing. The article, “Anatomy of the Staged Orientation Process,” describes a training model Higgins and her team developed a year ago to increase the nursing department’s retention rate.

New Town Dental Arts in Williamsburg will send over 500 pounds of unopened Halloween candy to U.S. troops serving overseas.

The candy was collected through the practice’s “Candy Buy Back” event held in November. Walsingham Academy’s lower school collected candy for the cause, bringing more than 300 pounds of candy to New Town Dental Arts. Pictured with Dr. Sebastiana Springmann are Walsingham students Matthew Botta, Thomas Botta, Caroline Reid, Gabrielle Deschenes and Caroline Boyd.

Western Branch Family Practice in Chesapeake has gone live with ConnectCare, Bon Secours’ advanced electronic medical

records system that links each patient’s clinical information to one medical record. The system will help Bon Secours improve efficiencies, patient care and patient safety. Dr. Alison Christian-Taylor (right), a family physician who practices at Western Branch, says: “I think the greatest benefit is being able to have all the patient information in one spot in an easy-to-access database. With standardized and consistent documentation, we will be able to track outcomes and disease stages while reducing duplicate tests and procedures.”

On Sat., Nov. 21, Ageless Dermatology and Laser Center (formerly Schumann Dermatology Group) hosted an evening gala to celebrate

the launch of Dr. Keith Schumann’s new line of dermatologist-developed skin care products—“Ageless”™. (6) Ageless Dermatology staff welcomed nearly 100 guests to the event. (7) One lucky guest wins a gift basket filled with Ageless products, courtesy of Dr. Schumann (far right).

A few days before Halloween—on a day when students and staff typically dress in orange and black—teachers and staff at

Stonehouse Elementary School showed their support for breast cancer awareness by “putting on the pink.”

Pilates: Getting to the Core of the Matter

Let the group fitness gadflies flit from belly dancing to body sculpting to circus stunts. Pilates people opt to take long, steady aim at the core.

And they say the payoff is sweet: strength without bulk, slender thighs, flat-as-a-board abdomen.

“With Pilates, the focus is core strength,” said Jessica Matthews of the American Council on Exercise. “It concentrates on centering and encouraging improved posture and strength throughout the core.”

The core, or powerhouse, refers to the muscles that gird the torso from the lower rib cage to below the beltline. Pilates is a system of over 500 exercises that promises to condition the total body by centering on that area.

The mat exercises comprise several series of leg lifts, chest curls, and roll-ups—each one said to be the equivalent of six sit-ups—and the signature “hundred,” which entails much flapping of the arms and legs.

And while they might look like sophisticated sit-ups, the moves are performed with precision, concentration, breath control and flow. (In fact, Pilates was originally called “controlology.”)

“Because you’re so aware of where the exercise is coming from, you’re really focused on where you’re working,” Michele Bastos, Pilates instructor at the Crunch national chain of health clubs, said of the regimen now practiced by an estimated 10 million people worldwide.

Unlike the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to which it is often compared, Pilates is the 20th century creation of one man.

German-born boxer, gymnast, and physical therapist Joseph Pilates originated his system as a rehabilitation tool in the 1920s. Some of the

first people he treated were soldiers returning from World War I.When he moved to New York City in 1926, his studio was located

near the New York City Ballet. Dancers, George Balanchine and Martha Graham among them, spoke of “going to Joe’s” to strengthen their bodies and ease their aches and pains.

The dance connection stuck. As did the notion that Pilates produces a dancer’s long, lean body.

“I believe it’s true,” Bastos said. “Pilates strengthens and lengthens muscles at the same time, so it’s different from weight training, which only works concentric muscles. In Pilates the muscles get really long.”

She continued, “Even in breathing we try to work the abs. We inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth to get all air out of the stomach. We do not allow ribs to pop out.”

Mat classes remain the most popular, but Bastos sees interest in the Pilates equipment growing.

“You start on the mat and move to the machines,” Bastos said of the Reformer, the Cadillac and the Chair, three basic pieces of equipment used in Pilates.

The founder himself created the forerunners of these wood-and-leather contraptions of levers, springs and pulleys when, working in an infirmary, he rigged hospital bedsprings to offer light resistance to bedridden patients.

“The mat works against gravity only; on machines you have spring tension,” said Bastos.

Of course, similarities between Pilates and yoga have spawned the inevitable hybrid: Piyo, Yolaties, Yogalates, and the like. Other so-called “fusion” classes provide the cardio workout missing from Pilates, such as “Rock Star Pilates,” which adds spinning.

“It’s quite notable that high-quality ratings continued to be associated with disclosure even when the event was de-termined to be preventable,” Lopez said.

The findings, according to Lopez, suggest that hospitals should not be afraid to disclose the reasons for pa-tients’ adverse events, even if they did arise from error.

“Although rates of disclosure remain disappointingly low,” he said, “our findings should encourage more dis-closure and allay fears of malpractice lawsuits.”

“Patients want to be told the truth,” Lopez added, “and they perceive disclo-sure as integral to high-quality medical care.” Lopez and his colleagues report their findings in the Archives of Inter-nal Medicine.

In a separate study published in the same journal, researchers focused on diagnostic errors by physicians. They found that among 300 doctors at 22 U.S. hospitals, the most commonly missed or delayed diagnoses were pul-

monary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs), drug reactions and overdos-es, heart attacks and lung, colon and breast cancers.

On average, the doctors described committing or witnessing two such er-rors in their careers. The fact that they readily recalled the details of these cases suggests that “diagnostic error is not unusual in clinical practice,” the researchers write, “and actively solicit-ing such cases represents an opportu-nity for tapping into a hidden cache of medical errors that are not generally collected by existing error surveillance and reporting systems.”

Hospital patients who suffer a side effect from treatment are more likely to give high rat-

ings to their quality of care when hos-pital staff are up front about what went wrong, a new study suggests.

In a survey of nearly 2,300 patients treated at 16 Massachusetts hospitals, researchers found that 603 had some sort of “adverse event”—most often side effects from a newly prescribed drug or complications from surgery—during their hospitalization.

When asked whether hospital staff had explained the problem to them, only 40 percent of patients said they had.

Yet, when staff did discuss the prob-lem, patients were more likely to be happy with their care—even when the adverse effect was a preventable one, the study found.

“Our findings show that disclosure is associated with patients’ perception of higher-quality care, even when they were harmed by an adverse event,” lead

researcher Dr. Lenny Lopez, of Mas-sachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in a statement.

“We believe this is the first study to address how disclosure affects the

quality-of-care impression in patients who actually were harmed during the course of their treatment and may reas-sure physicians and others who worry about the consequences of disclosure,” he added.

Using hospital records and patient interviews, the researchers found that almost one-third of ad-verse events in the study were preventable—being related to errors such as giving patients the wrong dose of medication.

Hospital staff were less likely to discuss prevent-able adverse events with patients compared with ones that could not be avoided—such as an unforeseeable re-action to a new drug. When patients suffered a preventable effect, staff explained the problem to them only 30 percent of the time, Lopez’s team found.

Yet patients tended to give their care higher quality ratings when a problem was explained to them, even when the complication was preventable.

On average, study patients rated their hospital care as “very good.” But patients who’d discussed their adverse event with hospital staff were twice as likely to give high ratings as those who had been given no explanation.

“Patients want to be told the truth, and they perceive disclosure as integral to high-quality medical care.”

Maclaren USA, Inc., is recalling about one million strollers sold in the United States over the past decade after receiving a dozen reports of children’s

fingers being amputated when caught in the stroller’s hinges.Last month, Maclaren announced a voluntary recall with the

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).The CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using

the strollers, which were made in China, unless otherwise instructed. The recall involves all Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers sold in the United States starting in 1999.

Maclaren said it has received 15 reports of children placing their finger in the stroller’s hinge mechanism, which led to 12 reported fingertip amputations in the U.S.

The incidents occurred while the strollers were being opened or closed, not while the children were seated in the strollers, a spokeswoman said.

Maclaren is offering consumers a free repair kit. The recall only relates to the British company’s U.S. business.

Models affected by the recall include Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveler.

The well-known strollers, priced from $100 to $360, were sold at popular stores including Babies ‘R’ Us and Target.

Consumers are asked to contact Maclaren at (877) 688-2326 or through the Web site www.maclaren.us/recall for more information.

Jangled nerves, jangled nervesJangled all the dayOh, how sad it is to spendOur holiday time this way

Dashing through the mallsWith a cart that’s gone astrayBack to the bank we goCrying all the wayBells on registers ringMaking spirits sighOh, what bills the mailman brings!Why’s my interest rate so high?

Jangled nerves, jangled nervesJangled all the dayOh, how sad it is to spendOur holiday time this way

A day or two agoI felt my chest grow tightAnd very soon I found myselfPacing through the nightI tried to get some sleepBut the fears, they would not goI knew I’d fallen very deepAnd never felt so low

Oh! Jangled nerves, jangled nervesJangled all the dayOh, how sad it is to spendOur holiday time this way!

Stress is as much a part of holiday tradition as greet-ing cards, presents and awkward family moments. The honest truth is that while the holidays should

be a time of peace on Earth and good will towards men, they are equally the time for discord and ill will. In fact, notes the American Psychological Association, one in five Americans worries that holiday stress will cause them at least one physical health problem.

How is it that a potentially festive time turns into a carnival of tension and worry? Why is it that high blood pressure and tension headaches are as commonplace as eggnog and fruitcake? Does this say something about the holiday season, or is it more likely a reflection of the way we interpret stress?

The holidays do not bring us stress; we bring stress to the holidays. If we look closely at our inner tension, we will find that it was neatly packed, wrapped and hand-de-livered by none other than ourselves. This is good news, though. It opens up the possibility that we can ask for, and receive, the gift of inner peace this season.

Before going on, I want to share with you (at right) a “Stressmas” carol that I wrote to summarize how many of us feel as we move head-first into the not-so-silent nights ahead.

What we gain by letting goMost plans for reducing stress have four basic com-

ponents: eat right, exercise, get plenty of sleep and en-joy the company of others. If you are like me, you look at this list and feel even more stressed out than before. The reason, of course, is that this list represents things that can be challenging to do during the rest of the year. The likelihood that these activities will automatically become our standard mode of operation from Novem-ber through January is about the same as that of Santa bringing us the high-definition plasma TV we have been longing for, rather than the lawn tool that will occupy our every weekend.

But don’t be dismayed, merry gentlemen and women: there is another way to approach the holiday season. The way out of this trap is not to wrestle with that Grinch called stress—it is to let go of our habitual tendency to resist the world as it is. When we hold on desperately to the visions that dance in our head, we become frustrated when the world refuses to dance along. However, when we let go of the need for the holiday season (or any season, for that matter) to conform to our preconceived notions, we

Try these strategies to overcome stress.

FOODYou’ve tried this: Limiting yourself to eating only holiday foods that begin with the letter ‘Q.’

Now try this: When you do eat seasonal snacks and meals, do so mindfully; eat with your full attention on the food and the experience of eating. You will find that you actually eat less but enjoy more.

FINANCESYou’ve tried this:Putting your holiday cheer on credit and then making a New Year’s resolution to get out of debt.

Now try this:Give yourself credit for your ability to create holiday magic without breaking the bank.

FAMILYYou’ve tried this:Thinking that the holidays would make everyone get along.

Now try this: Drop the expectations of familial harmony and realize that the only family member you can change is yourself.

FUNYou’ve tried this:Overindulging in the holiday spirit, confusing excitement for real happiness.

Now try this:Experience the true joy of being in the present moment and realize that the most fun of all comes from anything that opens your heart.

The Four ‘F’s of Holiday StressFood • Finances • Family • Fun


discover a true miracle; life isn’t so bad when we let go of control and move into a state of acceptance.

This does not mean that we simply lie down and allow the yuletide sleigh to run us over. Moving into a state of “let-go” does not mean we fall victim to the wintry winds of fate. When we stop struggling against life, we

discover new options and energies. When we realize that holiday stress is only our perception of the world, we can then choose to focus on find-ing true joy in the season.

If you find that your holiday mug runneth over with stress, try empty-ing it by asking yourself, “What am I resisting at this very moment?”

Hit the pause button on the running mental commentary and you may find that all is calm, all is quiet.

In order to help you through the coming holidaze, I offer an-other, revised “Stressmas” carol (glance right) guaranteed to soften the heart of the most hardened Scrooge.

Putting a Wrap on Holiday StressSung to the tune of “Let it Snow”

Oh, the world outside seems frightful And everyone seems so spiteful

But since that’s no way to grow Let it go, let it go, let it go

The stress, it is not stoppingAnd my heart, it feels like popping

But before I hit an all-time lowI let it go, let it go, let it go

And when I finally see the light,Nothing seems quite so badWhen I let go of the fightI discover the peace I once had

Now the fears are slowly dyingAnd my heart’s no longer crying

All I ever needed to knowWas let it go, let it go, let it go.


You brush, you floss, and you visit your dentist twice a year—seems simple enough, right? But

did you know that your oral health can affect your overall health? Recent stud-ies indicate that there are very specific ties between dental health, periodontal (gum) health, and other systemic dis-eases. So if you think you spend all that time brushing and flossing just to keep your smile looking bright, it’s time to look a little closer.

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is linked to a variety of health issues, which is why it’s im-portant to practice good oral care. Regular visits to your dentist are your best preventive measure to ensure

that any problems with your gums don’t affect the rest of your body.

Healthy teeth and gums prevent common bacteria in your mouth from entering into your bloodstream. Any gum erosion and/or irritation creates areas in which bacteria can enter your bloodstream and spread to other parts of your body.

How else can your oral health affect your overall health? Here are a few po-tential ways:

Early signs of osteoporosis (bone loss), evident in the jaw or teeth, are often found during routine dental vis-its and X-rays.

Dentists are often the first health pro-fessionals to identify signs of oral can-cer, which is why regular oral cancer screenings are part of preventive care.

Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, so practicing good oral hygiene may actually decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke.

You’ve read that good oral care is im-portant during pregnancy. Some stud-ies indicate that there is a link between gum disease and premature birth.

The link between oral care and dia-betes is twofold: Those who have dia-betes are generally at increased risk of developing gum disease. In addition, diabetics have an increased risk of tooth decay, dry mouth, and oral infections.

When You Smile, is Your Health Showing?Taking care of your teeth and gums is more than a cosmetic concern—it could save your life.

Dr. Tanya Brown is the founder of The Center for Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry in Chesapeake. She is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology as well as the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry. She can be reached by e-mail at [email protected].

Gum Care: Commit it to Memory

A recent study revealed a sur-prising link between gum disease and memory. The findings, reported in the November issue of the Jour-nal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, are based on more than 2,300 men and women who were enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III conducted between 1991 and 1994. Participants with the highest pathogen levels were most likely to score poorly on cognitive tests.

Research has already established a strong association between poor oral health and heart disease, stroke and diabetes, as well as Alzheimer’s disease. The study’s researchers note that gum disease could influ-ence brain function through sev-eral mechanisms; for example, gum disease can cause inflammation throughout the body, a risk factor for loss of mental function.

SOURCE: REUTERS HEALTH

Patients whose immune systems are compromised (e.g., from diseases such as HIV/AIDS) often have oral symptoms that lead to increased oral bacteria, which in turn can af-fect overall health.

Current research is also aimed at the role oral health plays in the develop-ment of pneumonia and pancre-atic cancer.

Taking care of your teeth and gums is one of the most important preven-tive health measures you can follow. See your dental care provider for regular ex-aminations, cleanings, X-rays, and oral cancer screenings. Your at-home rou-tine should include regular brushing, flossing, and self-examination for any changes in gum health. Not only does your smile depend on good oral care—you may find that your life does, too. HJ

Pumpkin Bars(Crystal’s healthy recipe makeover)

”

Every holiday season, my mom makes

my Aunt Wanda’s signature Pumpkin

Sheet Cake. I recently took on the

challenge of making her recipe healthier

while maintaining its true flavor. So, last

month, my mom and I had a “bake-off.” She

made the original recipe while I created the

healthier version, my own Pumpkin Bars,

and we asked a panel of judges (my dad,

grandma and fiancé) to give their opinion.

Everyone agreed that my healthy version

had a better taste and was even moister

than the original. Even Grandma—who

normally sticks to the ‘tried-and-true’—liked

my version best.

My goal in cooking

is to use healthy,

natural products

while creating

the best flavor

possible. I know I

exceeded my goal

with this one!

Smokers who switch to a low-tar, light or mild brand of cigarette will not find it easier to quit and in fact may find it harder, researchers reported in November.

They found that smokers who traded to light cigarettes were 50 percent less likely to kick the habit.

“It may be that smokers think that a lighter brand is better for their health and is therefore an acceptable alternative to giving up completely,” Dr. Hilary Tindle of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who led the study, said in a statement.

Her study of 31,000 smokers found that 12,000, or 38 percent, had switched to a lighter brand.

A quarter said they switched because of flavor but nearly 20 percent said they had switched for a combination of better flavor, wanting to smoke a less harmful cigarette, and as part of an effort to give up smoking completely, Tindle’s team reported in the journal Tobacco Control.

Those who switched brands were 58 percent more likely to have tried to quit smoking between 2002 and 2003 than those who stuck with their brand. But they were 60 percent less likely to actually succeed in quitting, Tindle’s team found.

“Forty-three percent of smokers reported a desire to quit smoking as a reason for switching to lighter cigarettes. While these individuals were the most likely to make an attempt, ironically, they were the least likely to quit smoking,” Tindle said.

Other research has shown that so-called low-tar cigarettes have just as much tar, nicotine and other compounds as regular cigarettes.

Pomegranate Corn Relish

“I found this recipe at www.pomwonderful.com. It is a delicious and unique alternative to gravy that contains plenty of nutrition and antioxidants—a perfect recipe.”

INGREDIENTS1 cup arils (seed sacs) from 1 large pomegranate1 cup corn, fresh or frozen½ cup green pepper, finely chopped1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Learn your 3 R’s…Riverside Rehabilitation for Recovery

When you’re recovering from an illness or surgery, you want to get home quickly and safely. That’s why Riverside created the area’s only Physiatrist-led Rehabilitation Centers for post-hospital recovery.

Led by Dr. Mark Ross and a team of Board-certified Medical Directors, each center provides intense therapy daily for 10-14 days, on average. That means a faster recovery than going directly home and less chance of injury or re-hospitalization.

Call or visit any Riverside Rehabilitation Center to ask how you can pre-plan your stay prior to joint surgery, and enjoy a shorter road to recovery.

The truth is that most of us do not do a very good job talking about death. Rarely are people taught how to converse compassionately with individuals

who are dying or those who have lost a loved one. We use euphemisms such as “crossed over” or “passed on.” It is as if the word “death” is taboo. Society expects us to grieve stoically and return to work in three days, ready to func-tion fully. Mourning is too often seen as feelings to be “re-solved” or “overcome,” as opposed to a journey that needs to be experienced.

Children are often the forgotten ones when there has been a death. We do not intentionally overlook them, but the child who has had a sibling, parent or grandparent die gets lost in the shuffle. Also, many adults believe that children need to be protected from the pain of death. Though often well intended, our attempts to protect children may actu-ally do more harm than good. Cocooning children also robs them of the opportunity to build important coping skills.

We are inclined not to talk about death, but not talking does not mean that we are not communicating. Children pick up on our non-verbal communication; anxiety and depression can be sensed. Talking to children about death does not harm them, though deception and secrets can. Of-

ten the real motivation for adults keeping their silence is that death is too painful a subject for us to talk about.

When I was working in private practice years ago, many of my patients were in therapy because during childhood they’d had a parent or sibling die. One patient had been sent away to a relative’s house for the summer; when he returned, he discovered that his brother had died of leuke-mia and been buried. He had never had the opportunity to say goodbye, participate in the funeral, or mourn. This still haunted him 50 years later.

Open, honest communication is keyWe rarely give children time to talk about their fears, re-

actions or feelings following the death of a loved one. They need to ask questions and to be given information appropri-ate for their age. If a sibling has died, the parents may well be too distraught to have these discussions with the surviv-ing child. This is when a grandparent, aunt or family friend can temporarily step in. Do not assume that a minister or rabbi is automatically good at talking with children about death. We should talk to children about death the same way we talk to them about sex—directly, honestly and without

Test results of an all-natural fat-block-er called Lipitone have just been released. “Lipitone has the ability to block up to 28.3% of fat and totally eliminate it from the body” explained Dr. Everett Beyer, a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Nutrition.

“Because of the reduced fat intake, Lipitone can also help lower cholesterol by as much as 10% in just 30 days,” said Dr. Beyer.

Lipitone VS Other FAT BLOCKERSLipitone eliminates up to 28.3% of fat

without any known side effects by binding with the individual fat molecules instead of liquefying them. In fact, Lipitone has shown to be better than that popular OTC fat blocker for three important reasons:

• First: Studies show Lipitone blocks more fat.

• Second: Lipitone is taken after eating so there’s no need to plan ahead.

• Third: Lipitone doesn’t require any change in diet or eating patterns; it can eliminate up to 28.3% of fat regardless of diet.

Block Fat AND Carbs?TL Sciences discovered what people really

wanted was a comprehensive, all-natural weight-loss product that combined fat-blocking and carb-blocking. So, they added a new ingredient called ID-alG, which is a seaweed extract that has been shown to block 50% of all carbs.

“Lipitone is amazing,” says Dr. Beyer. “The fact that you can take it up to one hour after you eat is the best part. So you don’t have to go through the agonizing process of planning each meal ahead of time like you are forced to do with others.”

sugarcoating the facts. There are many wonderful children’s books that address the topic of death and dying.

It is best to use simple language, and be prepared to be repetitious. Children may ask the same questions every day for weeks. Remember, saying “I don’t know” is perfectly ac-

ceptable. Chil-dren will ask questions about the afterlife or why bad things happen to good people. Giving a child the mes-sage that you care and that you are genuine is far more im-

portant than having all the answers. Even very young children grieve. They just grieve differently

than adults. They may be too young to grasp abstract concepts such as eternity, but the disorganization and change that death may bring can strongly affect a child. There is neither a single, cor-rect way for adults to grieve nor an orderly progression to be fol-lowed. It is the same for children. Some will show their sadness, others may not. It is not unusual, for example, for a child to want to return to school following a death in the family. This does not mean the child is not grieving but rather, that structure can pro-vide a sense of control in a world that seems unpredictable.

Though not always possible, giving a child the opportunity to say goodbye is important. On the other hand, children who are uncomfortable going to the hospital or hospice should not

be forced. If they want to go, prepare them for what they will see. When children attend funerals, it is best that an adult take them to the funeral parlor prior to the funeral so they can walk around, ask questions, and view the body privately if the casket is open. Do not equate death with sleeping. This can lead to sleep disturbances in children. Remember that when a parent has died, it is essential to reassure the children that someone will still take care of them.

Working towards a state of acceptanceTemporary behavioral regression such as bedwetting, a

fear of being alone, stuttering, baby talk, thumb sucking or night terrors are not uncommon among children after a death and usually resolve with time. Never punish a child for exhibiting these behaviors. Consider taking your child to see a psychologist or family therapist even if only for a few sessions. Just like going to the dentist every six months can be good preventive medicine, seeing a therapist after a death may prevent problems later in life.

Drawing is one of the best forms of expression for chil-dren. It can provide an open and safe atmosphere for them to explore their feelings surrounding death and the loss that accompanies it. Children, too, benefit from memorial-izing the deceased. Making a memory box or poster can be therapeutic.

Maybe the best thing we can do for children who have experienced a death is to increase the amount of time we spend touching and holding them, reassure them that though life is unpredictable, there is some stability, and to remember that grief has no time limit. Like adults, chil-dren reach a point of acceptance at their own pace.

Dr. Frederic B. Tate works in the psychology department at Eastern State Hospital and can be contacted at Frederic.Tate @esh.dmhmrsas.virginia.gov.

Mourning is too often

seen as an event to be

“resolved” or “overcome,”

as opposed to a journey that

needs to be experienced.

T he aroma of Grandmother’s fresh-baked cookies etches itself into the brain’s emotional memory, but so does a whiff of rotten fish, Israeli scientists said in a finding that might help in treating

trauma patients.They said bad smells make the biggest first impression—which is likely

an evolutionary defense mechanism—but early pleasant scents also make an imprint on the brain.

“We found that the first pairing or association between an object and a smell had a distinct signature in the brain,” even in adults, said Yaara Yeshurun of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, whose study appears in the journal Current Biology. “This ‘etching’ of initial odor memories in the brain was equal for good and bad smells, yet was unique to odor.”

To test smell-related memories, the researchers presented a group of volunteers with a set of objects, and then associated each with a

smell and a sound. Some of the smells and sounds were pleasant, such as a pear or a guitar, and others were unpleasant, such as

a dead fish or the screech of a power drill.A week later, they asked people to recall the objects

and found people tended to remember the unpleasant associations best, whether they were smells or sounds.

Next, they did similar experiments while people’s brains were being scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI.

In these experiments, they noticed that a part of the hippocampus and amygdala lit up when smells were first associated with a new object, but not sounds.Much more study is needed, but they said the

findings could lead to better ways to help improve memories, or even offer better ways to help erase early,

traumatic memories.

Study explains how smells conjure strong memoriesCHICAGO (REUTERS)

Jeffrey R. Carlson, M.D., is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spine care and general orthopaedics. He is a graduate of the Harvard Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program and completed his fellowship training in spine surgery at Harvard Medical School. Carlson practices with Orthopaedic and Spine Center in Newport News.

Did you know that back pain and leg pain lead about 20 percent of Americans to see a physician each year? Although most back

pain is minor and usually resolves on its own, there are many different problems that can cause lingering lower back pain. About 10 percent of patients who see an orthopaedic spine specialist for their back pain have spondylolisthesis—a condition where the bones in the spine (vertebrae) have either slipped or shifted.

Vertebrae may slide or change position for many reasons. The most common culprit is degenerative disc disease, which causes the vertebrae to sit more loosely on each other and allows them to shift. The vertebrae may also fail to connect completely in childhood, allowing the bones to slip away from each other. In adolescents, back pain may start as the bones start to shift. As the child becomes more active in sports, the spinal instability caused by a poor vertebral connection will become painful. X-rays may show a break in the bones; however, some kids who are experiencing back pain will have normal-looking X-rays. Further evaluation with a CT scan can help the physician more closely examine the spine. Some people live their entire lives with a break in their vertebrae and do not experience back pain until their discs, pads that separate each spinal bone, start to degenerate.

In most cases, spondylolisthesis is diagnosed in middle age and is the result of degeneration in the spinal discs. As the discs degenerate, they cannot support the weight of the spine, which allows the bones to shift. As bones shift out of normal position, the discs have to bear the brunt of the patient’s body weight and movement, which, in turn, applies more stress to the discs and causes them to degenerate faster.

Most patients with mild spondylolisthesis will not have any worse back or leg pain than most people their age and won’t have to stop any normal activities. However, as these individuals age, the discs between the slipped vertebrae degenerate further. Disc degeneration can be painful; as the spine continues to degenerate and vertebrae slip, the spinal nerves that are protected by the bones endure more and more pressure. Pinched nerves cause pain in the nerve roots, which is felt in the back of the legs and down to the foot—a condition

called sciatica, often confused with leg pain. The initial treatment for low-back and leg pain related

to spondylolisthesis is a physical therapy program and anti-inflammatory medications. Exercise, stretching, spinal traction and manual therapies (like massage and spinal adjustments) can help reduce the pain. The goal of treatment is to relieve the pressure on the nerve and mobilize the bones and discs to allow

for a more fluid motion of the back without irritating the muscles, tendons or nerves. Most patients respond well to this treatment and can maintain their spinal health with a home exercise program. If medication and holistic approaches are unsuccessful, steroid injections around the nerves and joints

may help relieve some of the acute pain. If all of these treatments don’t work, surgery is an option. Although most people are reluctant to have back surgery, improved techniques have made surgery for spondylolisthesis a very effective procedure.

PROFILE

When you think you have a person all figured out, that’s when he or she is most likely to surprise you. When I asked my

uncle-in-law, Dr. Ravi V. Shamaiengar—a diagnostic radiologist and The Health Journal’s co-founder and medical editor—to name his favorite place in the world, I expected him to choose from among his vacation destinations over the years—perhaps the tropical beaches of St. John, or the snowy slopes of Utah’s Deer Valley. But rather than reflecting on any one adventure, he said simply: “My favorite place in the world is wherever my family is.” Here are some excerpts from our interview. What he reveals about himself may surprise you, too.

HJ: Why did you decide to become a doctor?RS: Love of science, love of people. I always want-ed to help people. Medicine blends those aspects of my personality.

HJ: What do you like best about your job?RS: Health has such an impact on people’s lives. Being able to have a positive influence on people’s health is very rewarding.

HJ: For those who don’t know, can you explain what a radiologist does?RS: Radiologists are medical imaging specialists who use their extensive knowledge of anatomy and disease processes to be consultants to other physicians. We’re kind of in the background. When your doctor says, “We found this on your scan,” most people don’t realize that it was the radiologist who found it and made the diagnosis.

HJ: If you weren’t a radiologist, what would you be?RS: I would probably be in research, maybe molec-ular biology or something like that. Somewhere I’d be using a lot of computers and electronics.

HJ: Share your goals for The Health Journal.RS: First, my hope for the Journal is for it to be a wonderful form of education for the general pub-lic, a way of giving back to the community, some-thing that the community doesn’t have to pay for. Second, to provide a forum or an outlet for physi-cians to get the word out to the public about who they are and what they do. When we were thinking about starting the Journal, those were things that were missing in health care in this area, and proba-bly most of the country. The Journal itself presents so much information in a readable manner—in a fun, informative fashion. Hopefully it excites people about health in general.

HJ: Why publish a free health directory? RS: When I moved to Williamsburg, my first ques-tion was, “Where do I take my family for medical care?” Even being a physician with access to this

information, I didn’t know who all was out there. That was why the Health Directory was created.

HJ: The Health Journal is definitely a family-run business—your wife is an editor, your nephew the publisher, your sister the executive director, and myself the editor. What are the pros and cons of working with family?RS: Part of the fun—and one of the advantages—is that you already have a rapport with the key people involved. Good rapport makes it fun to accomplish something like this together, something we believe is worthwhile and respected. The challenges are just like those in any long-term relationship where you’re very close. It’s often hard to stop talking business and just relax with family.

HJ: With health care reform in the forefront, what are some of the major concerns among physicians?RS: One of the big problems is the 21 percent [proposed] cut in Medicare payments scheduled to start in January. If that happens, a lot of physi-cians will either shut their doors period or shut their doors to Medicare patients, which would be a travesty. I just read that the Democrats are putting forth a bill to stop that. Unfortunately the health care reform issue is becoming a political football. But does health care need to be fixed? Yes. The costs are too great right now.

HJ: Some point to unnecessary tests as a major factor in the nation’s out-of-control health care spending. What’s your opinion? RS: It’s a two-edged sword: There is some excess ordering of tests; then again, I am not sure what I would do if I were the ordering doctor. Based on the extensive amount of information we can pro-vide from one test, most doctors would want their patients to have these tests.

HJ: Finish this sentence: “Before I die, I’d like to…”RS: Witness my children as successful adults—success meaning that they find careers they love and people they love.
