ActuAl PAtients
I have had some less than stellar experiences with dentists in the past, so I was pretty apprehensive beginning my treatment with Dr. Lim. He was very friendly and informative, and during the treatment I didn’t feel a thing! No pain, no discomfort. What a relief ! My fear of dentists is beginning to subside a little bit. —Cristin G.
Before After
Very grateful to have such a great dentist. Dr Lim takes the time to answer your questions and personally follows up after you leave his office. When I had a dental emergency at night, he personally answered my call and made time for me the following morning. He also has a wonderful group of people working for him. Thank you —Elena
Before

Start the New Year off In Good Health!
6 Most Dangerous Words… “I thought it would go away!” Symptoms are the body’s warning that something is not working right.
Headaches are NOT normal. Back pain is NOT normal. Numbness & tingling is NOT normal. The human body can live five days without food and water, minutes without air, but without a nerve supply, life cannot exist. Nothing happens in your body without the involvement of the whole nervous system. As a chiropractor I don’t treat the symptoms, rather I locate and correct the nerve interference which allows the body to do what it does best…heal itself. Chiropractic adjustments assist in the healing process by reestablishing the nerve flow to its optimal level. This allows the proper communication between the brain and the body.
SPECIAL OFFER
Detailed new patient history intake • Spinal & central nervous system new patient exam • Specialized diagnostic testing • Digital x-rays if indicated • Detailed report of all Doctors findings, analysis & recommendations.

For Only $
Expires March 31, 2024. Medicare/Medicaid Rules Apply $250 Value
Did you know a seven-year study showed that patients who saw a Chiropractor regularly experienced; 85% less pharmaceutical costs. 62% fewer surgeries 60% fewer hospital admissions 69% fewer days in a hospital 85% fewer outpatient procedures

PET HEALTH
P
By Alexis Jaurique, Veterinary Assistant
Pets become family members who provide comfort and unconditional love, so it’s vital that we educate ourselves on proper pet care to ensure our furry friends are as healthy as possible. If you own a pet, or are considering bringing one home, keep reading for important health and wellness information about your companion. THE FOOD YOU CHOOSE TO FEED YOUR PET MATTERS: There are numerous food options for your pet, and which one purchased by the average consumer is often chosen due to price, advertising, and even the packaging design can determine what an owner buys. However, there are only a few brands that have been tested by veterinarians to meet all of your pet’s nutritional needs. The following are the top choices: • Hills Science Diet • Purina Pro • Royal Canin. These are brands that have licensed veterinarians to help formulate foods that aid in maintaining pet health. Veterinary recommended and veterinary tested are two separate things: you want the second. The brands above are confirmed to have been veterinary tested. PET INSURANCE: You pay for health insurance, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance. But you may not think about your pet needing insurance! Vet visits can be expensive, especially visits for accidents or illnesses, and the security of insurance can help alleviate financial strains. No one wants to be frugal when it comes to their pet, and insurance can save you from having to pick and choose what level of care your pet receives based on what you can afford. Some common pet insurance companies include: • Nationwide • Trupanion • Lemonade THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINES: Following protocol for vaccinating pets is vital for optimal health. Without propervaccines administered in the necessary time window, pets are at risk for serious illnesses and sometimes even death. It is important to know that vaccine timelines differ based on the type of vaccine, your pet’s age, and prior vaccine history Listen closely to your veterinarian about what vaccines are needed and if there are additional vaccine boosters required for effectiveness; especially for puppies and kittens.

The most common vaccines are as follows: DOGS: • DAPP/DHPP vaccine - protects against parvovirus, transmitted through direct contact with an infected animal, and the surfaces that have come in contact with the virus. Parvo can lead to critical hospitalization and often death. • Leptospirosis vaccine- protects against leptospirosis, which is transmitted through fresh water, soil, or any other objects that have the urine of an infected animal present. Infections can cause fevers, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, and if it progresses can lead to kidney and/or liver failure. • Rabies vaccine - protects against rabies, which is transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites another and is extremely fatal. • Bordetella vaccine - protects against bacteria that is associated with respiratory disease, transmitted through close contact with other animals that carry the disease. Commonly referred to as “Kennel Cough”. CATS • FVRCP vaccine - protects against respiratory diseases and Gastrointestinal diseases, which can be fatal • Rabies vaccine - protects against rabies, which is transmitted through saliva when an infected animal bites another animal and is extremely fatal. • FeLV vaccine - protects against Feline Leukemia Virus, a viral cause of immunosuppressive diseases and cancer, spread through bite wounds and saliva. This disease shortens lifespan

dramatically, and once they have the virus it cannot be eradicated. MONITORING YOUR CATS: Cats are finicky animals, and many of their common illnesses are related to urinary problems. It is imperative that owners’ check litter boxes regularly to ensure their cat is urinating at their normal frequency. If you notice your cat is suddenly urinating around the house, or the litter clumps are getting smaller, this can be a sign of a urinary issue. Male cats in particular are prone to urinary blockages, which can be fatal if not treated in a timely manner. Female cats can also experience urinary blockages, however it is more common in males.

PLAY WITH YOUR PET’S PAWS, HEAD, BELLY, AND EARS: Sedation bills can be very expensive. Make sure that your pet is comfortable being handled by both you and friends. So when it’s time for their annual checkup, your pet is used to being touched in this manner. If an animal is deemed too difficult, veterinarians will need to sedate them, and the larger your pet, the more expensive it is. Avoid the fuss at the vet, work with your pet now and vet visits will go smoothly.

FORMER SHIP, FORMER CAPITOL California’s oldest state capitol building is still opening its doors
J
By Matt Larson Photo Credit: Benicia Historical Museum
Just a bridge’s journey outside of West County you can find the very first California state capitol building, restored to pretty much exactly how it existed in 1853. Preserved today as the Benicia Capitol State Historic Park, you can visit California’s third official seat of government, and learn quite a bit about the history of our state while you’re at it. The original capitol was in San Jose, then to Vallejo, then to Benicia, and finally now in Sacramento. But there was no official state capitol building in San Jose or Vallejo. Vallejo was in the process of building one, but this was during the time of the gold rush, so importing building materials was not a high priority for transportation services as gold was one everyone’s minds, so they’d rather send people than construction materials. As Vallejo was struggling to get their building completed in time, it’s believed that Tom Larkin (a friend of General Vallejo’s who pretty much owned half of Benicia at the time) decided to spearhead the secret construction of a capitol building in Benicia. “A lie was made up that it would be city hall, because everyone wanted the capitol!” said Victor Edmonds, of the docents at the Benicia Capitol State Historical Park. But where to find building materials? Well, during this time, if there was a ship nearby without anyone caring for it, its parts were yours for the taking. “The whole building is pretty much a recycled ship,” said Edmonds. “It’s kind of a miraculous thing. I just happened so fast! They built it that summer, out of boat parts, for pretty much free! They had to pay labor, but when they needed money Larkin just took it out of his pocket.” Edmonds tells us that when the legislature arrived in Vallejo expecting to see a completed state capitol building, and didn’t see one, they were pretty upset, so Benicia invited them over to see their faux city hall. “It was the biggest and nicest building in the state at that time,” said Edmonds. “When they saw it they probably thought: Who knew there was a Greek temple in California!?” The only deal was that if they used the building, Benicia had to be the official state capitol, and so it was from 1853-54.
One of Edmonds’ favorite things to do on his tours is show visitors the original seal press which includes the goddess Athena. “She’s the symbol of California,” he explains. According to the mythology, Athena came from her father’s head, without having a childhood. “So California wants to come straight into the union, without the ‘childhood’ of being a territory.” This is what he tells the visitors, and then he shows them the seal press itself. “It’s basically her father’s head! So the seal with Athena on it comes out of the head of her father in the seal press room.” The architect of the capitol clearly had this in mind, as the building is quite reminiscent of the Temple of Athena Pronaia in Delphi, Greece. “To me that’s just sort of amazing that this whole building is a symbol in itself of the origins of the state.” Edmonds has only been a docent here at the park for that past 3 or 4 years, but as a retired Director of Educational Technology at UC Berkeley, learning is kind of his thing. He estimates that he’s probably got a total of 14 hours worth of information to share with his visitors, so every time you come it could be a different experience, and they customize each tour for each individual. We could barely scratch the surface of all Edmonds had to share with us, so maybe pay him a visit and see if you could learn a thing or two about the history of this amazing place. The Benicia Capitol State Historic Park is located at 115 West G Street, Benicia. For more information call (707) 745-3385, or visit parks.ca.gov. March 2024
