Doctorsknewthat inPTSD,somethingcallednerve growth factor is produced during a trau-maticevent.ThatNGFwouldsendout“roots”from the site in the brain, making anxiety worse than ever as even more roots grew, feeding on the new anxiety.

In the “shot” treatment, anesthesia is injectedinto a certain spot in the neck, stopping the growth--andtheanxiety--cold.Atthetime,initial results were promising.

Choosing a Family PetBySamanthaMazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re visiting a breeder soon who is offering a new litter of puppies for sale. She says we should visit a few times to find the right puppy for our family. How do we choose the best of the litter? -- Kay S., Bowden, Ala.

DEAR KAY: I don’t think there’s always a“best” puppy in a litter. However, there isthe right “fit” for your family. For example,outgoing pups may do best with a family, while shy dogs work better with individuals.

The breeder is offering to let you visit several times to find the best fit, which is a greatselection method (and one mark of a good breeder). Often, such visits are spaced over several weeks, from a couple weeks after the puppies’ birth to the time they are ready to leave (eight or more weeks).

Because you will be spending quite a bit ofmoney on a new dog, be observant during visits andaskquestions.Makesurethepuppies’livingarea is clean and that they all look healthy, happy and relaxed. Hold and play with puppies that interest you and watch their behavior around your children. As the weeks pass, observe their growth and the maturation of motor skills and awareness.

The breeder will be observing you during this time as well. After all, she doesn’t want to send well-bredpuppiestoownerswhowon’tcareforthem. It’s not unusual for professional breeders to refuse to sell a puppy to someone they have doubts about. Remember, the deal isn’t doneuntil both sides agree that the dog you pick is thebestfitforyou,andthepapersaresigned.

Massage Todayby Sarah Wiley, State Licensed & Nationally Certified

In early April I attended a weekend massage conference sponsored by AMTA (Ameri-can Massage Therapy Association) Missouri Chapter. This was an amazing connection and networking time for me. How inspiring it was to be surrounded by other massage therapists exchanging information, career tips, and advice! By the time I returned home Sunday night my head was swimming with so many new ideas! I felt like I had been on a mini vacation and at school all at the same time.

Today there are so many opportunities for massage therapists AND for massage clients! As therapists, we are required to complete many hours of continuing education each year to keep our licenses current. For me, each class I take

is an opportunity to expand my knowledge, and potentially reach out to new clientele.

People seek the help of a massage therapist for various reasons. Some need help relaxing, some have injuries and/or physical conditions, and some are simply ready to start healing their bodies holistically. I have many differ-ent clients all with individual concerns and needs.

I am grateful for my profession and for all for all of the support I have received It is truly ther-apy for me to be able to reach out to so many of my clients and help them on their individual paths to healing. So to all of my past , present, and fu-ture clients, THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of your life’s experience!

• Baby boomers will probably remember theeccentric ukulele-playing singer Tiny Tim.BornHerbertKhauryinAprilof1932,hetriedseveralstagenames,suchasLarryLove,DarryDoverandJudasK.Foxglove,beforesettlingon the name of aCharlesDickens character.His big break came when he was booked on thetelevisionvarietyshow“Laugh-In,”wherehesang“TiptoeThroughtheTulips”inahighfalsetto voice, a song that would become his trademark.

• It was evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins who made the following sage observation: “We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.” • It’s been reported that for one two-year stretch, Elvis Presley ate nothing but meat loaf, mashed potatoes and tomatoes.

• In parts of Asia, tradition holds that if you sneeze once, someone is saying something good about you; if you sneeze twice in a row, something bad is being said; if you sneeze three times, someone is in love with you; and if you sneeze more than three times, you’re about to catch a cold.

• If you’re like the average human, you have about 1,500 dreams every year.

• We all know that the phrase “dog days of summer” refers to the most sultry days of the year, but have you ever wondered where the term came from? It seems that the ancient Romans believed that when Sirius, known as the dog star, shined the brightest -- which was during mid-summer -- it added its heat to the heat of the sun, making the hot season even more unbearable.

• Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that is not an animal.

• Even if you don’t remember it from its original air dates in the 1950s and ‘60s, you surely have heard of the iconic American situation comedy “Leave It to Beaver.” You might not realize, though, that the original working title was “Wally and the Beaver.” The producers thought that made it sound like a show about a boy and his pet, so they changed it.***Thought for the Day: “A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time.” -- Alfred E.

Patents on some expensivebrand-namedrugs are set to expire this year, with an even larger number in 2012. That means the drug companies won’t have a lock on the market.Less-expensivegenericsaresuretofollow as competition rises.

Drugs set to expire this year and nextinclude: Lipitor (expired in November2010, generic due this year), Seroquel,Avandia,LunestaandSingulair.

Just before a patent expires, drugcompanies will renew their efforts to get doctors to prescribe their product. Whenyour doctor prescribes something for you, ask if it’s one of the drugs that has come off patent, in which case an inexpensive generic might be available. Drugcompanies, however, do have exclusive rights to a generic version of their drug for sixmonthsafterapatentexpires.Butafterthat, any company can create a generic, and the prices will fall.

This can be very important for seniors who are approaching the doughnut hole, whereMedicarewon’tpayforcoverage.

Keep in mind that some of thesecompanies are going to court and will be tied up in litigation. Still, from now on,when you get a prescription filled, askthepharmacist if there isa less-expensivegeneric to be had. Another trick to keep patientsonthebrand-namedrugisthatthecost of the generic version sometimes can go up for a little while. Beware, and askquestions.

A good way to keep track of the expiration of patents on drugs you take is to go online and do a search for the name of your drug andthewords“patentexpire.”

• Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so that you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!

• “Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it.” -- Y.P. in Illinois

• “Nylon stocking strips are great and work re-ally well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a runner, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong yet gentle enough to not cause any harm.” -- E.S. in Wisconsin

• “Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds and still get that tumbled-dry softness.” -- M.N. in Missouri

• Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.

• Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow con-tainer that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar has cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.
