Nelson songs as well as Johnny Cash . . . and makes for an enjoyeable evenings entertainment. He appears there about once a month. We’ll likely head back next time he’s on stage. Good time. ••••• Hail and Farewell to Ted Kleiter, current Chairman of the Board with the Palomar Pomerado Health District. Ted has decided to retire from public life and, despite repeated urgings by fellow board members as well as friends to stay on the board, has opted to call it a day.
Four board seats will be up for election on November 4th. The Paper will have its endorsements for these seats as well as those for the Escondido City Council, the Mayor’s Chair, several propositions, all of which will be published in next week’s issue (Thurday,October 2nd.) ••••• Making me feel old department: Good friend Dr. Herb Lowe, one of the world’s greatest dentists, let me know that his son, Evan, just celebrated his first wedding anniversay. Evan?!
It was just yesterday that he
was about 3’ tall and sat next to me at a Hidden Valley Kiwanis Club Christmas meeting. We became instant pals and at the end of the meeting he saked if I could come over to his house and play. (I think he was five years old at the time!) I’ve followed him over the years with a great deal of affection. He went to school, became a lifeguard and, like his dad, loves to surf. He married Taylor and they now have a brand new puppy.
Kids! They grow up so fast! (And make us old-timers realize how quickly time is moving right along!)
Congratulations to Evan and Taylor on your first wedding anniversary. Keep ‘em going, kids! ••••• Evelyn has been shuttling cats to and from the vet’s office lately. We have one elderly cat who probably won’t be with us much longer. Sonny Boy is, we think, about 22. He has heart and kidney problems and pancreatitis as well. The other cat, Punkin, has some type of gut infection. Both were dehydrdated and both needed antibiotics. They’ve been hydrated every day since last Thusday. Punkin will likely make it; Sonny Boy we just want to keep comfortable.
Escondido, CA—In a 2002 issue of Neurosurgical Focus, a peerreviewed article was published by a Dr. Michael D. Martin, MD et al. in which the third sentence states: “The disc itself is active tissue that contains significant mechanisms for self-repair.” That article was published by a neurosurgeon and written direct-ly for neurosurgeons.
“The Disc Itself Is Active Tissue...”
So what does that really mean to us? It tells us that the disc itself does have a God-given ability to heal and repair if provided the proper mechanisms for self-healing. There is a specific mechanism inherent in each of the spinal discs called the “pump mechanism of disc nutri-tion” (see Fig 1). When this mechanism is not working properly, the spinal discs will begin to die causing bulges, herniations, and eventually spinal stenosis.
The spinal disc is one of the very few tissues in the body that does not have a direct blood supply for circulation. The only way that the disc gets the circulation of water, oxygen and nutrients for self-repair is via this specific disc pump mechanism. What happens when you decrease cir-culation in any type of tissue, whether it be animal tissue, plant tissue or human tissue? Exactly, it begins to become weak and begins to degenerate.
Symptoms Are NOT The Problem
Now the symptoms of pain, numbness,
and tingling that most experience with bulging, herni-ated or degenerative discs are NOT the problem. The definition of a symptom: “something that indicates the existence of something else.” It is just like the dashboard of your car telling you that something is wrong (brake lights out, engine needs checked, overheating, etc.) Those lights that appear in your car dash are NOT the problem. You can remove the lights surgically or put a piece of duct tape over the lights but the problem will NOT be fixed...the problem is still present.

Westbound traffic on State Route 76 in Oceanside was blocked for almost two hours early Sunday following a hit and run incident where five individuals were injured.
According to witnesses, a car was making a right turn onto the freeway from Frazee Road about 2:30 a.m. when it was clipped from behind by a speeding car that kept going.

brown leaves are the plant’s problem? Of course not, the leaves turning brown is just a condition that is telling you that there is something wrong with the plant. The plant is unhealthy and needs water and nutrients. You could spray paint the leaves green but it just covers up the condition. The underlying problem still exists and will continue to produce brown leaves until you fix the actual problem.

In your spine, when the pump mechanism of disc nutrition fails, the disc will begin to de-generate and become weak. This weakness in the disc is what produces the bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs.
The treatment that is provided at Dr. Heilman’s Spine and Neuropathy Care Center in Escondido is revolutionary and is specifically designed to artificially re-create the pump mecha-nism in the discs which allows the spinal discs to heal and re-pair. The best part of the treat-ment is that it uses no drugs, no injections, and no surgery. Plus it’s painless and many patients relax and fall asleep while un-dergoing the treatment. The amount of treatment needed to allow the discs to heal and repair varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and orthopedic evaluation. We do NOT accept everyone for treatment and will let you know if we can accept your case for treatment.
