PAIN RELIEF:
A Nutritional Answer

Reducing Pain By Umiting Inflammation
Reducing pain through diet begins by
limiling the inflammatory process. This is
done in 1"'0 main ways:
I ) Limiting the majorcauses of"o~idation"
By Oavld Sheer, PT. OPT. MOMT. Resu~s Physiotherapy - Murfreesboro
2) Supplementing with antiOllidanlS
First.
""C
limit
o~idizcd
oils by ro:lucing the
omega 6 fats in our diet. These include sun_
flower. samower, corn. soybean, .:anoIa, and
peanut oils. These oils cause inflammation. They
present in most of all of our processed foods
=
including all snack foods.. chips. and salad dressinp. Read the labels. Instead. cat rood with less
procesiiing and use e~tr1I virgin olive oil and
coconut oil for cooking.
e all seek treatment when we are
in pain. We wam SQlnCOnc to stop
it. As therapists. physicians. and
patients. we arc seeking the quickCSl relief possible.
Usually. it is in the form ofmcdidne. s~h as pills.
injections. or surgery. At Results Physiotherapy.
our physical therapists provide relief with
"hands-on " manual therapy. e~ereisc. dry needling.
and othcr modalities. Now. wc can look to an addi┬╖
tional area to help us relieve pain: nutrition.
The Negative Effects of Bad Nutrition
In this new holistic health environment. cveryone is
becoming more conscious of the negative effec! of
chronically bad nutrition . Like the rusting of your
car, the body StaI1S a slow process of o~idaTion. We
understand it can contribute to high blood pressure.
diabetcs. obesity. dementia. ulccrs. colitis. Ctc .
What is not well known is that chronically bad
nutrition can increase our muscle and joint pain.
including arlhritis and fibromyalgia.
Second. we can oontrollhe free radical oxidation by taking foods rich in antiollidant~ such
as curcumin (turmeric) and quercitin (greenl
white tea). These 2 supplements can be bought
individuaily. When laken together and in ext'"
,┬╖irgin olive oit. their pOlency ;s increased
tenfold . They are two of Ihe best antioll,dant&
Imown. Supplemcnt these " 'ith othcr anliollidams such as ViUtminsA. C, and E.
Simple Diet ary Changes Can Help
Remember. we arc interested in providing
health care recommendations 10 supporl Our
physical therapy plan . This plan includes
retorning you to optimal physical functioning
while reducing your pain. Simple dietary
changes can help.
For funher information on the treatments

The damage to our tissues can oe<.:ur through
sudden injuries or gradually with rcpclitivc activilies. When it docs occur, another chemical response
starts in our bodies called inflammation. This is a
nonnal process of healing and should have a short
duration. Sometimes this inflammal<><y response

lasts too long. When it does. the pain can worsen.

Preparing for the Waiting Room
By Rodney Bakken, Director of Operations, Cornerstone Senior Services
M
y wife nearly died in early NovemOCr.
Twenty_six years together, and .....e┬╖ve
never had a shock like this! Her body
turned suddenly seplic, her kidneys and lungs
were failing, and hcr blood pressure was 44 .
Thai was just the start of her problems. I've
beeome deeply familiar with life in the waiting
room. And in the hospital room.
Since I mostly work with retired people, I'm no
stranger 10 the realities of sickness and aging. At
Cornerstone, .....e get to help families prepare for
hard times. Help people get their financial house
in order SO they Can WEATHER StOrmS like this.
BUll nevenhought my bride would get sosick in
her early fonies. [!.oy did I get a wakeup call'
Now. I'm having to take care of my bride
(visiting and sleeping at the hospital so she's
never alone), teach my children (we homeschool). handle all the household business. try to
get SOme work done, and coordinate long-term
care plans once my wifc goes into physical
rchab. Basically. I'm doing BOTH jobsofa full_
time homeschool teacher and mom. as ..... 1'11 as a
full time worker outside the home. Plus, I'm not
nearly as gifted as my wife is in cenain areas of
life. So where she excels. I struggle. We complement each other beautifully!
When you end up in the waiting room one day,
aner reading this anicle, you'll hopefully be well
prepared. And avoid extra stress and uncertainty.
Roles " Re sponsibilities
Gct to know what your spouse does for your
family. WRITE IT DOWN! YOU'll be extra
thankful for him or her once you realize all the
things they do. Some quick examples:
thick of things when survival was NOT assured
for my wife, I had no clear picture ofwlt.al family
business needed to be dealt with. [could have put
it together had I been home. Or had my bride
been awake. But she was on life suppon. And I
was at the hospital day and night.
- Yard work
- Home repairs
- Auto repairs
If you're married. chances are you don't know
EVERYTHING your spouse does at home. I
have huge gaps of knowledge in relation to
whal my bride docs day-ta-day. Well, I know
WHAT she docs. but not exactly HOW she does
it all. I trust her. Shc does her stuff, I do mine.
However, ['m having to rec.mstruct her Dlmnal
routine. She was in a coma for six days. Unable
to help me as [ stroggled to juggle our life. It
would have been amazing to have a Set ofdocumenlS prepared JUST IN CASE. Something we
could call a 'family responsibility journal.'
Things that would guide me in reconstructing
what was necessary to have life 'work' in CaSe I
was alone.
- Paying the bills
- Doing the dishes and laundry
- Watching children or grandchildren
- Investing and insurance
- Taking care of older family members or friends
Without clear details On the actual nuts and bolts
of what your spouse docs. during times of stress
and heartache, it will be too hard to put it together.
Some things just simply get dropped. Forexample,
my electric bill was due three days aner my wife
was Life_Flighted to the hospital. [ found out about
that when the electric company called me to ask
about the bill . [paid it immediately. Yet. in the
What's needed is a brief, clear
journal detailing EACH "Area of
Respons ibility" for each spouse.
So one spouse can keep the family
afloat if needed. Usc a 3-ring
binder to start. BUI start today!

Gett ing Clear 8. Current
This idea of a family responsibility journal has
gained a 101 of traclion wilh my friends. Some
have told me. "I'm MUCH too disorganized to
do that'". or "Where would I even START'-"" II's
important 10 say Ihal if you ARE disorganized
now, it'll be much worse when you find yourself
in the hospital waiting room. Here are some
ideas of items 10 gel togelher in order 10 make
your plan:

Ihough Maria has been blind most of her life.
she is kind and had befriended all of the children
at the orphanage. They knew that if they weI"<'
sad or nceded somelhing, they could come to
Maria for help because she would smile joyfully
and do her best to help them. But Maria wanted
to be able to sec. At age 15. when a tcen is typically excited and looking forward to a lifetime
of happiness and possibilities. Maria had been
foreed to live in darkness and misery. and had
been told that she would have to remain tbere
for the reSI of her life.
Born prematurely. weighing only 2 pounds and
having no access to proper medical care, Maria
became malnourished and her physical dc\"elo~
ment suffered significantly from neglect, which
affected her vision most of all, Maria's ocular
history included an advanced, blinding cataract
in her right eye. chronic inflammation of both
eyes, a retinal detachmenl on her left eye
(which had left her totally blind in that eye),

amazing journey f'Qrn darkness 10 sight. Maria, a
lS-ycar-old (formerly) blind Moldovan orphan, was
just One year away from being discharged from the
orphanage (all orphans are only permitted to stay
there until age 16). Lacking the skills needed 10
survive in the outside world, she would most likely
have been foreed into human trafficking and prostitulion, a devastating falC Ihat many Moldovan orphan
girls had experienced. However, fate dealt her a
much bener hand' She is now living in a fre<: country
where she is loved by all. and she is filled with joy
because she has gone from 15 ye3Js of darkness to

It has been a lillIe Over a year since Ihe doctors at

the inspiralion and primary focus of the

story and were touched by her phOIO, which was
projected across the big screen. After that. many

hearing Maria's life story, the doctors decided
unanimously that Maria would be the foundation's

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
There are other conditioos that can have the same
symptoms as neuropatlly. Pinched nerves in the t>ack,
narrowing of tile spina l column (spinal stenosis), poor
circulation as well as certain vitamin and minera l deficiencies or tolticities. 1t is important to see a neurologist
to determine the root cause of jOur symptoms. The
treatment of these cond itions is very different, and
sometimes ooe person can have both peripheral neu┬╖
ropattr,' as well as other conditions that cause toot pain.
H the conditions are not managed properly, they usually
eventually pro~ss.

progresses, the discomfort may become constant
Nerve pa in can be very difficul1lO manage, especially if
the diagnosis Is delayed. If it is identified and treated
early. outcomes can be very different left untoeated,
neuropathy can pro~ss to cause permanent
numbness, weakness and even difficuny with balance.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES?
There are many, many potential causes. The most
common cause In the United Stales are diabetes and

NEW

NEW BACK
By Chris Taleghani, M,O., M,BA
n January I st, for one reason Or another,
I'm sure that many of you made a New
Year's resolution to stan (or maintain) a
more healthy lifestyle-but what most of you
probably don't know, is that your lifestyle choices
don't just relate to your overall health. they directly
relate to your spine health, too.
One of the keys 10 good spine health is p",,-cotion,
Make better lifestyle choices for better spine health
in 2014:
LEVEl OF ACTIVITY
!'cople who are more active maintain mIlCh better
back health than people who spend mOSt of their
daysscdcntary, Staying actin, can help you maintain
a healthy weight, enhance your mobility, decrease
your likelihood of injury and illness, and reduce
length of recovery should injury or illness occur, As
you age, staying active becomes increasingly impor_
tant. Even small efforts toward a man.: active lifestyle add up. You can take thl: stairs instead of riding
the elevator. take a walk with a friend, orevcnjoin a
group fitness dass.likc yoga or tennis.
WE IG HT
People who are ove-rweigh\ arc at a greatC1' risk for
back and j oint pain, As you can imagine, excess
weight pUIS strain and pressure on many parts of the
body, but especially the back. Maintaining a
healthy weight lowers your risk for back pain
and back injury.
SMO KI NG
We all know that smoking isn'l good for
you- but what most people don't know. is that
smoking has a direct impact on spine health.
Smoking causes plaque to build up inside of
your blood vessels. This build-up decreases the
blood supply to many areas, especially areas,
like the spine, Ihal are fed by liny vessels, This
decrcasc in blood supply makes il very difficult
for the spine 10 heal itself. which eventually
leads to degenerat ion, and latCT pain.
POSTU RE
Improving poslure not only relieves current back
pain, il reduces the li kelihood of future pain, 100,
As We are sitting (or slanding). We lend 10 slowly

n:minder~mething that will cal~h your allen_
tioll from time to time. You can place a colored
paperelip on your sleeve cuff, mOve a ring to a

Tips to Improve Digestive
Health and Optimize Weight Loss
By W~liam Noois, M.D. , FACG
D
uring the holiday season. many people
make a New Vear's resolution to lose
weight Once the holiday parties have
ended, it is not uncommon to be faced with unintentional weight gain. 11 is common for many people 10
stan a diet at the beginning of a New Vear in an
effort to lose unwanted pounds. However. many
diets do not address many of the factors which play
a role in promoting healthy weight loss. which can
be su~tained.
The digestion of nutrients OCcurs in the small intestine. Alterations in the function of the small intestine may limit ones ability to losc weight. Research
studies are being conducted looking at the role of
s mall bowel bacterial overgrowth. possibly contributing to weight gain. Small bowel bacterial OVergro",h may lead to thc production of methane
gases which Can delay gastric motility and potentially lead to increased absorption of calories.
Recent evidence also suggests that maintaining the
ideal ratio of good bacteria to bad bacteria is impor_
tant in achieving weight loss goals. Many diets do
not address the imponanee of fiber in achieving
weight loss goals and maintaining good digestivc
health. It is also imponant to detenninc if medications that you are taking Can hamper your weight
loss effons. Cenain medications. such as tricyclic
antidepressants and conicosteroids. can lead to
weight gain.
Below are some tips which can improve overall
digestive health and optimi"lC weight loss goals in
the New Year.
Make a food diary and write
down everything you eat:
A food diary will f{)1"Ce you
to record your caloric intake.
This will also give you an
idea of what unnecessary
calories are being digested
and potentially hamper your
weight loss effons
Drink water:
Water in"eascs your metabolism. Make a goal of
drinking 64 OunCeS of water a day. Studies have
shown lhat drinking tWO 8 ounce glasses ofwaler
before breakfast. lunch and dinner will aid in
weight loss. Preloading with watcr will help you
feel the sensation of fullness faster and will make
you less hungry.
Reduce the portion sl:reoffood:
If you reduce the ponions of food consumed by
20%. you will notice a reduction of bodyweighl.
This can be achieved by using smaller plates with
meals. When dining out. ask the restaurant to put
half of your portion in a container to take home.
Most restaurant ponions are much larger than
what is recommended.
Increase fruit and vegetable Intake:
Fruits and ,┬╖cgetables contain a large amount of
fiber. Fiber helps optimize digestive function and
can also give the scnsation of fullness . A psyllium
fiber supplement Can also be helpful in achieving
the recommended daily fiber goals. It is recommended that men ingest 38 grams of fiber a day
and women consume 25 grams of fiber daily.
Engage In regular exercise:
Ellercise is a great way to improve digestion.
Resistance exercises and increased cardiovascular activity can increase the transit time of food as
it moves through the digesti'┬╖c tTaCt. Ellercise also
strengthens the digestive muscles which aid in
digestion

Cyberknife - A Different
Approach to Radiation Therapy
By James R. Gray, 1.10, Radiation Oncologist, Temessae Oncology

accelerators. These machines
generale Ihe high_energy, dccply penelrating
x┬╖rays used to trcal cancen. They are designed to
guidcand control Ihese x-rays in order to direct the
energy to Ihe JUmor and avoid ineidemal damage
to healthy tissues nearby. This requires advanced
engineering for precision, accuracy, reliability,
and, above all. safely. The classic design has been
a gantry-based model. allowing the radiation beam
to be rotatcd around Ihc patient, bringing the beam
to the target from differem angles. For mOSI appli_
cations of radiation treatment, this machine design
has worked Quilc well, and has been finc-tuned
through dccades of researeh and application of
computer eonlrol.
W hat 1$ Cyberknife and How Does It Work?
However. Cyberknife represems a significam
dcpanure from Ihis basic model. This device
borrows robotic comrollechnology from The aUlO_
mOli"e manufacturing industry and uses complex,
computcr-guided robotic anns 10 position both the
p'l1iem and Ihe linear accderalor. This vaslly
expands the number of positions and directions
from which the radiation can be aimed. SimultaneollSly, the Cyberknife uses a paired ~_ray imaging
system to precisely identify the position of the
target - the tumor - and communicates Ihis
po-;;ition infonnalion 10 the robotic ann ,ontrolling
the accelerator. This has led to an unprecedemed
combination of accuracy and nc~ibility, allowing

or even from one minute to the neXI. Some JUmors.
such as in the IWlg or liver. will move with a
rhythmic variability as we breathe - making our

tumors, we have generally accepted the need to treat
more healthy tissue surrounding them 10 makc sure
we encompass the range of their motion. Cyberknife
impro"es upon this idea with motion tracking.
focused while the tumor moves. Think of
walching a boal moving up and down on waves
and trying to spray-paint jusl one spot on the
side ofthc hull - you have to watch the mOlion
and mOVe your ann with the rhythm of Ihc
wa"es! Cyberknife allows us - for the firsltime
cver through robotic technology - 10 monitor
this motion and mOve the beam to compensate
and stay on target.
Motion tracking technology has improved our
ability to intensify r.diation doses safely to a
lung tumor, and this allows us 10 delivcr the
treatment more quickly and efficiently, while
simultaneously improving our ability to control
and eliminate a tumor. This same principle
applies 10 1"'er lumors. since the liver mo,'CS in
similar fashion duc to motion o(lhe diaphragm.
As a result, some JUmors can now be c1iminalcd
withoul surgical removal, with markedly
improved rC!;ults Over prior non-surgical treat_
ment using this new technology. Cancer invesligaTOrs are now trying to son OUi which lumors
need to be removed, and Which can be treated
with this improved technique.
This idea is only 10-12 years old. So the Jong-tenn

Has Your Child's Christmas Gift Hurt His Eyes?
High-Powered Handheld Blue Laser Toys Can Cause Serious Eye Injuries
R
esearehers beiieve greater public
awareness and governmental inten'en .
lion is needed \0 prevent a potential
epidemie of ocular injuries. Exposure for even
fractions of a second to high-powered blue
handheld laser devices Can cause serious eye
injuries, according to a study recemly released
online in Ophthalmology, the journal of the
American Academy of Ophthalmology. The
rescarchers ha"e concluded that tbe wide avail_
ability of these devices, which are often marketed
as toys, could Icad to an epidemic of ocular
injuries, and greater public aw",,"ness and government intervention should be encouraged.
Safety Notifications Issued
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the
Laser Institute of America and the American
National Standards Institute have all released
safety notifiealions to the public aboulthe risk of
injury flVm handheld lasers with an output power
of more than five milliwallS. 1bc natural plVtcclive moxhanisms of the eye - such as the blink
reflcx - are ineffective against these lasers, and
scvere retinal damage may QC<;ur, even after
momentary exposure . Studies have also shown
that blue lasers are more likely to cause retinal
injury compared with green or red lasers. Yet,
there are blue laser devices sold widely on the
Internet that resemble laser pointers with lower
wattages but actually have an output power of up
101200 milliwalls.
Case Histories
After witnessing a rise in the occurrence of eye
injuries caused by these lasers and to betler illustrate the dangers Qfthese devices, researchers in
Saudi Arabia documented the case histories of
14 young males, ages II to 30, who sought treatment for these injuries from January 2012 January 2013.
a retinal disruption and a cavity in the retina.
On ly four eyes (29 percent) improved spontaneously with increase in vision, whereas 10
eyes (71 percent) required interventiQll, includ_
ing vitr┬лtomy (surgery in which an operating
microscope and small surgical instruments are
used to remo,..; blQ<X\ and scar tissue that
accompany abnormal vessels in the eye).
Hospital Collaborative Retina Study Group in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "The difference betwecn
these new high-power laser devices and tbe lowpower pointers cannot be overe1l1phasi:red and
government action such as banning the importation of these high -power handheld laser devices,
laws for assault or malidous intent and a general
public awareness campaign may be warranted."
Each Qfthe 14 patients in the study had sustained
injuries to one eye . Four of the patients suffered a

the eye responsible for detailed, central vision).

Escaping the High Cost of Emotional Suffering
Conquering Stress with Trust
By John Robin Murphy
D
epression ranks first and Anxiety ranks
fiftb as the most costly disonl= in
terms ofheahhcare costs and loss ofproductivity. ' In our Biblical counseling model at
Rock House Cemer, we see that fear about provision is one of the most common causes of those
emotions.
MQst of us ha,┬╖c experienced at least a bint Qf
worry about money Qr financial prQvision. and
many have suffered greatly from it. Disputes
about money destroy marriages and financial
stress creates physical and emQlional symptQms
that medicine can never fully resolve at the root
level. That┬╖s bttause it is a matlcr of trust.
IIow would it change your life today. right now. if
you actually believed that God is trustworthy to
take care of your every need? Let's be honest. it
would be a complete transf'mnation Qf the quality
of yQur life if you were to neVeT fear for financial
provision and you never allowed money to
become an idol.
The problem is Ihal we are addicled 10 the broken
promises of this world for Our peace, and we are
ignoring Ihe promises Qf the loving, perfect
Creator of the universe. You may respond with the
thoughl Ihal you lruSI GOO. thinking back on all
the times you have prayed 10 Him for the things
YQU need . But praying fQr somelhing Ihat we
believe will bring us peace is nOI trusting. Thai is
praying your will and God┬╖. po",┬╖,r. That is you
making your peace contingent on His performan" al your "dance"┬╖ Thai is nOI trust. That is
nQI peacc.
Is God Trustworthy?
He says He is. The apostle Paul was specifically
addressing Ihe issue Qf prQvision when he
relayed Ihis message from GOO 10 you.
He [God] Himself has said. I will not on any
way fail yQU nor give you up nor leave you
withQut support [I will] nQt, [I will] nOI, [I will]
not in any degree leave you helpless nOr forsakc
nor let [you] down (Relax My hold on you)!
[Assuredly nOI!)
Hebrews 13:5 AMP
To break free of our control and truSI God, we
have to first be willing to behevc that God's plan
for our li~es is belleT than our plan. We all have
within us a sel of needs Ihal. when filled. wiH
complelely satisfy ()Ur longings. The struggle is
believing that God knows beller than we do what
;1 will take 10 satisfy uS al the deepest level of
whQ we are and Ihal He knows beller whal we
need in order tQ be whole. Obviously. this 'S
aboul much more lhan lhe need for provision.
If you are willing 10 pray Ihis prayer. you can
have less worry and anxielY Ihrough a new fQundation oftrust in God. He will be faithful 10 hear
your praycrs and respond.
Ueavenly Falher. I proclaim Ihal only You an:
lrustworthy. Please forgi~e me for trusting in the
world and being salisfied wilh c()Unieneit wellbeing. Forgive me for lrusting in myself and
trying 10 control my circumstanCeS in a vain
al\empl 10 acquire YQur promises Ihrough my
srrcnglh. Forgive me for depending On money
and other Ihings in Ihe world 10 reach a place of
peace tMI only You can give me. Fathcr, I
proclaim that You are the only true GOO. and r
ask y()U to gi~c me Ihe faith and the courage 10
disregard whal the wwld truSIS in fw peace and
10 complelely rely on You, cleave 10 You and
reSt the wbole personality of who I am On You.
Lmd. please remove from me Ihe ways r have
suffered from depending On the world and my
own conlrollO anain peace in my life. I ask You
10 fill me with a supernal ural peace in Ihe midsl
ofthe cireumslances of my life. Father. I ask for
Your strength 10 hold on 10 my lrust in You
despile Ihe pull Qf my flesh and the wisd<:>m of
Ihe world Ihal rejecls You and challenges my
failh. Lord. thank You for loving me and promising Ihal You wiH never. neVeT. never leave me
helpless. Lord, open my eyes to sec and my
hean 10 embrace how You will work every difficult situation in my life for my good. I pray this
