June 16
This summer, millions of kids will experience the dreaded summer slide, described as the educational ground lost when young minds sit idle over summer. Many teachers spend the first four to six weeks at the start of each school year re-teaching material students have forgotten over summer, says Ron Fairchild, executive director of the Center for Summer Learning at The Johns Hopkins University. To help your children avoid this intellectual slump and give them an academic leg-up come fall, keep them thinking over the summer by making learning fun. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Be sure your summer is filled with outings that will jog your kids noggins. Museums, historical sights and science centers are great combinations of learning and fun. Turn a hike through the woods into an opportunity to learn about trees and wildlife. If youre going on vacation, encourage your kids to research the history and culture of your destination in advance. Remember, even a trip to the ballpark can be educational. For a painless math lesson, talk stats about your favorite baseball team.
Educational Outings
Theres no better time than summer to curl up outside or on an extended road trip with a great book. You can instill a love of reading in your children by arming them with both a library card and a summer read-

I have just started to write a series of articles on the head, headaches, etc., but something has come up that needs attention. Osteoporosis is a serious health issue that causes lots of suffering and may compromise ones overall health leading to death earlier than expected. This week in the news and in The American Medical Association Journal important information has come to light. Bone is dynamic. It is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. Somewhat like a home that needs maintenance, repair and remodeling all the time. The current medical treatment for osteoporosis is use of Fosamax, Actonel, and Boniva. These medications work by replacing part of the bone with an inert material which delays the break down of bone thereby slowing Osteoporosis (They do not build new bone). The unfortunate part of this treatment is that it is likely to cause a serious bone condition called Osteonecrosis. This means dead bone. The problem lays in the fact that this inert (dead) material may make the bones more britt le over time. The worse news is that this inert material can stay in the bone for 18 months up to 10 years. Up until now the recommendation was to start these medications as soon as possible to prevent osteoporosis. The word Osteopenia was actually invented by one of the drug companies to identify individuals who were at risk for osteoporosis so they could start using the medications sooner. Now the new information is that starting too early or staying on the medications for more than ve years increases the risk of fractures, especially ones that have difculty healing. For the last ve years we have been warning people about the use of these medications. Natural treatment for Osteoporosis must included exercise. I once saw a 14 year old boy with osteoporosis in his leg after a fractured leg prevented walking for six weeks. After just four weeks of walking, the bone was again normal. Elimination of acid-producing foods (pork, pop, sugars, corn syrup, oranges, dairy products, potatoes, and tomatoes) is a must for treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis. An interesting statistic is that the three countries with the highest milk and dairy product consumption (USA, Australia, and Sweden) also have the highest Osteoporosis rates. Humm. Pasteurized, homogenized milk contains something called Xanthane Oxidase which is very acidic. Raw milk or cultured milk products are better. It takes 400mg of Calcium to neutralize the acidity in one cup of coffee. An acidic environment in our body speeds up the break down of bone. Calcium citrate, 400-500 mg with Magnesium 200-250 mg, two or three times per day gives adequate absorbable calcium. Vitamin D3, 2000-4000 units per day, is needed for healthy bone. There are many skeletal support products on the market for additional minerals. Bio-plasma is a combination of 12 Cell Salts, all of which support structural tissues. Homeopathic Symphytum 30 C, one per week, will help heal any microfractures that are occurring. Homeopathic Calcerea Carbonicum 6C one per day with Herbal Hydrangea 2-3 times per day will reduce bone spurs and enhance the deposition of calcium into the bone. All of these things support the natural production of bone and none interfere with normal physiology of bone. We have had patients do the natural treatments and show from 3% up to 29% improvement in bone density in one year. If you are on the traditional medications, do not just stop them. Instead talk with your own doctor and create a plan. Consider using the natural supplements and dietary changes to x this important health issue. Put Your Health in Your Own Hands.

Females are $125.00 which includes all of the above as well. $10.00 is required for Montcalm County Residents for the Dog License at the time of adoption. Male cats are 70.00 which includes FVRCP vaccine as well as a rabies vaccine and the neuter Surgery. Females are $75.00 which includes all of the above.

Once in a while you come across a beautiful dog. Tinka is one of those! She is a Golden Retriever, about 2 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. She was picked up as a stray with Charlie (a black lab) on May 8th, and we hope somebody is looking for them. Tinka is up to date on her shots and her adoption date is May 15th, unless we can nd her old owner. Please come to the shelter and meet Tinka!!! ID# 12/05/22
