A Special Wellness Report New Medicine Based On An 88-Year Old Theory

By Albert Einstein Can Help Almost Everyone Who Is Sick Or Injured!

W

hat you are about to read may be the most important information you’ve ever read. Here is why. Albert Einstein was, quite possibly, the most intelligent person who ever lived. His theories and ideas were so far ahead of his time, that even now, the smartest scientists alive are still discovering his value.

amount and type of energy is restored to these cells. But once that energy is restored...

The Body Can Recover From Almost Anything!

With the correct equipment, properly used, low level lasers have been clinically shown to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, increase cellular energy, increase cell permeability (so that the nutrients the cell needs to heal can get into the cell) and even help correct faulty DNA!*

One of his theories published in 1917, worked out the theory of how lasers function. However, it was not until May 16, 1960 (43 years later) that the first actual laser was developed by an American scientist. Since then, scientists and inventors have developed many types of lasers and all kinds of uses for them. They can be used as a scalpel that is so delicate, it can be used on the eyes of human beings. Lasers are used to read price codes at your local supermarkets. And they’re used to play music and video on your CD’s and DVD’s.

But now, there is a new type of laser so effective against human disease and injury that it is rapidly changing the practice of medicine. This is a new type of low-level laser which produces an unfocused light that has been...

Registered With The FDA To Be 100% Safe!

Low-level lasers use less than one watt of power and they produce what can best be described as a “Healing Light”.

Here is a somewhat un-scientific description of how this “Healing Light” can potentially help reverse the damage done by human sickness and disease.

As you probably know, our entire bodies are made up of cells. The health of all human cells is based on energy. If your cells don’t receive enough energy, they will weaken and the body will become sick. Call 1-800-303-6923,

Code 6871.

Be One Of The First 200 To Call & Receive A Free DVD! For you to be healthy, what your cells need is exactly the right kind and the right amount of energy. Every time you get injured or become sick, the energy flow to your cells is disrupted. Until the proper type and amount of energy is restored, you will remain sick or injured.

That’s what a low-level laser device does. It re-energizes the cells in your body with the right kind and proper amount of healing energy. It may surprise you to learn that low level lasers are ...

Used By Doctors To Heal Their Patients In The Fastest Way Possible!

Could you guess what kind of doctors use the highest percent of low-level lasers on their patients? It’s doctors involved in sports medicine. Why? The answer is simple.

You see, doctors involved in sports medicine often have to get their patients better in the fastest way humanly possible because every day he remains “unhealthy” can cost the sports organization millions of dollars.

What you have just read is a very simplistic (almost childish) explanation of low-level laser therapy, of how it works, and what it can do for you. But this is something that needs to be explained to you much more accurately by a real expert.

Professional Results In a Small, Easy to Use Package! Call 1-800-303-6923, Code 6871 For Your FREE Information Report.

But here’s something exciting! You don’t actually need to go to a doctor to get laser therapy. If you want to you can buy one of these devices and use it on yourself. The best ones come with simple, easy-to-follow instructions and can be used by almost any person with average intelligence.

Perhaps the best low-level lasers in the world have been invented by a doctor named Larry Lytle. He has studied lasers and human health for years, and Dr. Lytle is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about low-level lasers... and... how they can be used...

To Help Almost Every Health Problem Ever Experienced By A Human Being!

Dr. Lytle believes (as do many other people) low-level laser therapy will become the medicine of the future.

If you hold a low-level laser device against the skin of your body and turn it on, you will be able to see the laser light... but... you will not be able to feel it. There probably won’t even be a sensation of warmth. Laser light is as gentle as the kiss of a butterfly. But, from a healing point of view, it is quite possible it is more effective than drugs or surgery.

Low-level laser therapy is not just the medicine of the future. For many people who know about it, it is the “medicine” they use now. The problem of trying to explain the healing powers of low-level laser therapy is...

It Works So Well On So Many Different Problems, It Seems Like It Couldn’t Possibly Be True!

But it is true! As mentioned earlier, all injury and illness creates an interruption of energy to the cells of the human body. The body will never recover until the proper Advertisement

This is information which just might help relieve you of any disease and might possibly save your life and the life of your loved ones. And best of all, you can

Get This Information Absolutely FREE! Dr. Larry Lytle himself has written and compiled a FREE REPORT in which he explains to you exactly how and why low-level laser therapy works. Dr. Lytle will show you some unbelievable “before” and “after” pictures of people who have benefitted by this amazing new therapy.

For some people, a free report and information like this can mark the beginning of an entirely new life... pain-free and full of energy. For others, it can make the difference of living a healthy life compared to a low-energy life of sickness and disease.

And, for those who live with enormous pain every day ... this free report could truly guide them to a miracle! But even if you are not sick, not injured, or not in pain, you should still order this report. After all, it is 100% free.

And almost nobody lives out their life without having at least some kind of sickness or injury.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know that, if you do become sick or injured, you will at least know where to go to find some sort of answer to your problems that don’t involve dangerous drugs!

Call 1-800-303-6923 ...after you are connected, at the prompt, press the code number - 6871 - into your keypad then leave your name and mailing information. That number again is 1-800-303-6923, Code 6871. Your free report ... and free gift (if you’re one of the first 200 callers) will be sent to you via 1st Class Mail.

Scottsdale citizens will head to the polls Nov. 4 after sifting through and winnowing a field of eight City Council candidates to six remaining contenders.

As of press time, the unofficial results indicated that the final sextet in order of votes received included: Linda Milhaven (13,681); Jennifer Petersen (11,888); David N. Smith (11,853); Dennis Robbins (11,750); Kathy Littlefield (11,167); and Cindy Hill (8,718).

With such a close bunching of votes and no outright winners, the stakes are high for the remaining candidates to differentiate themselves during the next two months by clarifying their positions on a range of issues that impact the community.

Come November, Scottsdale residents will have three councilmembers with new four-year terms.

“We have a clean slate now and a brand new election,” said Hill, the executive director of Police Officers of Scottsdale Association.

Voters have a choice between incumbents Milhaven and Robbins and four new candidates who are looking to bring their expertise to local government.

For Milhaven, the focus will continue to be on economic vitality and fiscal discipline.

“I am proud we were able to reduce expenses, keep taxes flat and sustain our financial strength during my first term,” Milhaven said. “We must

continue to create conditions that promote private investment.”

Petersen, an eight-year member of the Scottsdale Unified School District’s governing board, said, “The cornerstones of my campaign are education and economic development.”

Smith, a former Scottsdale city treasurer, will continue his campaign of delivering financial accountability to the council.

“A vote for me is about fiscal integrity, citizen vision and accountability in local government,” he said.

Robbins noted the importance of fiscal prudence as well as economic development.

“I support responsible downtown development along with a balanced budget, always,” Robbins said. “We cannot spend more than we have.”

Littlefield, past treasurer of Arizona Legislative District 23 Republican Committee, said her priority is keeping taxes low on families and business.

“I led the political committee that opposed the third-of-a-billion-dollar city bond package that would have increased the city property taxes of Scottsdale,” Littlefield said.

The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4. For information about where to vote or how to register, visit www.scottsdaleaz.gov/elections.

After a six-month stint, Taco Haus— the latest from chef Payton Curry and restaurateur Dave Andrea—closed in August. Andrea told The Arizona Republic that that newspaper’s lukewarm review didn’t help matters.

However, some have also indicated Curry’s social-media behavior may have had a hand in Taco Haus’ demise as well. He posted a picture of a Phoenix Magazine restaurant critic after her review of Taco Haus and outed a customer’s credit-card information for leaving without a tip. The duo’s other restaurant, Brat Haus, is doing just fine.

While Taco Haus shuttered, others in Scottsdale celebrated grand openings recently, including Wasted Grain, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, The King, Union Barrelhouse, Burger 21 and The Standard.

sports season. The project will allow football, soccer and lacrosse to be played at home for the first time since the school opened in 2002.

The campaign for the sports complex, which was launched in 2013 after the school purchased more than 7 acres of vacant land adjacent to the northwest side of the campus, is under the direction of Chris Studenka, the director of development.

Since the culinary festival was founded nine years ago, the event has raised at least $1.2 million for the school, she said.

“The event originally started as a thank you to the community when they started the original capital campaign when they built the school,” she said.

The culinary festival, which attracts more than 500 people annually, will feature sample tastings of about 15 restaurants’ signature dishes “Each restaurant provides a signature dish or a tasting of a dish they feel strongly about,” Leinweber explained. “People strolling through the event can walk up to anyone of the restaurant tents and obtain samples until they get their fill.”

In addition to the food, there will be beer, wine and cocktails, as well as live entertainment from the Bob Powers Band. A gaming area will also be set up during the event.

Raffle tickets—$50 for one, $100 for three and $500 for 20—will also be available. The grand prize is $5,000 in tuition. A minimum of three restaurant gift baskets worth at least $1,000 will be given away.

“This is not only one of our favorite events involved with the school,” she said. “We have brought friends that have no affiliation with the school, and they still maintain it is one of their favorite nights of the year.”

Looking Back Scottsdale: Steven Spielberg’s Childhood Theater Gridiron

Scottsdale received its first movie theater when future Scottsdale mayor Malcolm White and Arizona cinema entrepreneur Harry Nace opened the T Bar T on Main Street between Brown Avenue and Scottsdale Road.

In the 1950s, it was sold and renamed the Kiva. On Saturdays, the Kiva showed 50-cent matinees featuring monster, scifi and B Westerns, with more substantial films mixed in such as John Ford’s “The Searchers.” This was the childhood theater of Steven Spielberg who, in a biography by Steven McBride, fondly remembers being dropped off by his parents to watch the movie magic at the Kiva.

Another local landmark in the director’s career was the shooting of his first film, called the “Last Gunfight,” at the Pinnacle Peak Patio in 1958. It was filmed on his father’s 8-mm camera.

Workers manage machines in the T Bar T’s projection room. Joan Fudala writes in the book “Scottsdale” that the T Bar T was “state-of-the-art for its day,” and featured “a smoke bar and a crying room for babies.”

Steven Spielberg watched serials like “Tailspin Tommy,” “Commando Cody” and the “Masked Marvel” at the Kiva in the 1950s, which began as the T Bar T.

Scottsdale’s first movie theater, the T Bar T, was built in 1948 in a Western-revival style.

By Tracy House The summer months have nearly depleted the supply at Vista del Camino Food Bank.

Having provided 256 food boxes in July, the facility is asking the community to help restock its shelves.

“There was a spike in people requesting food assistance,” said Eugenio Villafane, human resources manager at Vista del Camino. “There is a trend, on an annual basis, and it’s not just us.”

Valleywide, food banks are experiencing a shortage of food supplies this summer. Family-size boxes are requested during the summer to feed kids who are not receiving meals in breakfast or lunch programs.

Villafane said when people come in for utility assistance in the summer, they are usually a month behind.

Money used for food is shifted to pay for utilities, and there becomes a shortage of food in the home.

“All the way up to October, starting in May or June, that’s when we get the bulk of requests for utility assistance, and that’s also when typically those folks are walking out with a food box.”

The food bank primarily needs canned tuna, instant rice, peanut butter, boxed cereal and pasta sauce.

Canned meats and any protein-rich staple items are part of the standard food box.

“When available, we give out food vouchers,” Villafane said. “Anything that we might be out of, we might be able to give folks a donated-food voucher, $10, $15, $20, for them to buy milk, fresh produce and things like that, when available.”

When possible, he said, they try to give out two to three bags of fresh

food items that may be on hand, along with the food boxes.

Seniors also seek help during the summer months, Villafane said.

“We have found out that seniors are not turning on their air conditioners enough during the daytime because they need to save money to buy food,” he explained.

“Typically, they’re on a more specialized diet, and when they come in for a food box from us, they’ve depleted their regular food purchasing and their utility expenses.”

A comprehensive agency, Vista del Camino Food Bank is a licensed food bank and a water-hydration station.

“Not only can we service people that are established and have a home to take the food to, we also assist folks that might be homeless. It’s not just a box of food, but other items that go out the door.” That includes paper products, hygiene products and baby supplies.

Individuals or organizations interested in donating can contact Vista del Camino Food Bank at (480) 312-2323 and ask for Erick Beltran, the food-bank specialist. The food bank not only provides food assistance, but offers utility aid, a career center with a job-prep specialist on site and holiday assistance. “We know that food is just the beginning of a larger list the family has.”

There are several ways to help:

• Drop off donations between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays to Vista del Camino Food Bank, 7700 E. Roosevelt St., Scottsdale.

• Participate in the Fry’s Community Rewards program. Link a VIP card to Concerned Citizens for Community Health (identification No. 48978) and rebates will be directed to Vista del Camino.

• Eat at any Dos Gringos Mexican restaurant between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Wednesdays, and 20 percent of all sales will be donated to local food banks, including Vista del Camino.

Every patient has unique needs, and healthcare should be customized to meet those needs

By JULYN WATKINS Helping a patient reach optimal health requires diligence, time, and experience.

Every day, the practitioners at RedRiver Health and Wellness hear some version of the same story: Patients who have been feeling sick and run down for years, who have gained weight despite exercise and dieting, and who are losing hope of ever feeling good again, say no one can seem to help them. They have done countless blood tests and gone to several doctors.

Sometimes their doctors have told these patients that the way they feel is just a normal part of aging, or worse, that there is nothing wrong with them.

When the treatment stops here, patients are not receiving the care they need.

Like so many other patients, Rebecca came to RedRiver Health and Wellness after twelve years of unsuccessful efforts to improve her health. This is her story: “After feeling lousy for such a long time I finally went to a doctor and requested a blood test. I had all the

classic symptoms of a low thyroid or hypothyroidism. My TSH came back out of balance and I found out I had Hashimoto’s disease. I started my long road of multiple blood tests and medications of which none seemed to do anything. My weight continued to rise and my health continued to disintegrate.

My adrenal glands became deficient and I was put on steroids, which further eroded my health. Everything I ate seemed to make me even sicker. I found no relief from the traditional medical world or alternative medicine. I was tired of being told my blood levels looked good and I should feel fine. I always ate a good diet, with plenty of whole wheat bread, vegetables and water. I knew I should not be this tired and overweight. I have always exercised my whole life, but normal chores became so overwhelming and with a 30 pound weight gain, I looked so swollen.

I also had thinning eyebrows and hair loss. People who knew me from my past did not recognize me anymore. I was a walking zombie.

“One day after school I opened up [my son’s] backpack to see what he had brought home from school and I noticed a picture of a woman lying down in bed.

I asked him to tell me about his nice picture and he replied, “It’s you, mommy.” My heart sank as I realized that this is how he saw me. He had drawn a picture of me, his mother, lying down in bed. How sad, I thought to myself.

Is Your Child Ready for a Cellphone?

By Tracy House Cellphones, like driving and voting, have become a rite of passage, but at what age is it appropriate to give a child one? For parents thinking about getting their children their first phone, there’s more to consider than the argument, “Everyone else has one.”

Tracey Fejt, a mother of four children ages 12 to 16, said parents have a lot to consider when it comes to cellphones and kids. She waited until her children were in junior high before getting them phones.

“Being a parent, I did set some guidelines for my kids,” said Fejt, a registered nurse, injury prevention coordinator/outreach manager at Cardon Children’s Medical Center.

Among the guidelines are limiting the number of people allowed to

contact and the number of texts.

“Parents should be aware if they want to give those younger elementary students a phone...it should be for an emergency.”

Fejt also sets time limits on phone use. She finds it important to discuss with her children when phones are appropriate and when they’re not appropriate.

Children will emulate adult behavior.

Fejt said it’s vital for parents to show restraint with their cellphones, particularly while driving.

“Parents should be aware that kids are watching those habits,” she said. “So we wonder why teens are texting and driving. Well, they’ve seen their parents do it all these years. So if it’s all right for their parents, it’s all right for them.”

Parents also need to consider shutting off the phone at night.

“How many kids go to bed with their phone on and they’re up all night?” she said.

She suggested having a docking station in one place so that all the phones can be monitored.

“I think the docking station and seeing all the phones is a good thing parents can do.”

Every parent is going to have a different reason for deciding when their child needs a cellphone. Tracey Fejt “I think of it as a rite of passage for children,” Fejt said. “Every kid develops differently, so some kids are extremely mature and ready to handle it and other kids are not.”

There is no tried-and-true appropriate age for giving a child a

cellphone. Fejt said to consider if the child is ready for the responsibilities that come with a cellphone.

“Once your children do get older, parents need to remember you have to have a phone talk,” she said. “Sexting is huge with kids and parents don’t necessarily think about talking about it, but then those pictures get out and they get passed around. Clearly, having that talk with them too, has to do with responsibility.”

She mentioned stressing to children not to give out their numbers randomly or to get others without knowing the person first.

“If they are having issues, make sure they can come back and talk to you ... continues on page 19

How to Make a Frugal Pillowcase Pumpkin mom cents

Fall—with its cooler temperatures and delicious food—is my favorite season. I love pumpkin-flavored everything so, this year, I thought it would be fun to do easy DIY crafts that showcased this.

This frugal pillowcase pumpkin is simple to make. It can last through October and November as you decorate for fall. The kids will love helping you create this one. photo page

Supplies You Will Need: 1 orange pillowcase. (Check secondhand stores or dollar stores) Several sheets of old newspaper. The more you have the better.

Green ribbon or green scrap fabric.

Raffia. This can be found at your local Dollar Store or craft store.

Black felt (optional) Craft glue (optional) looking back

How to Make It: Start bunching up and balling up the newspaper into large balls.

You don’t want to make it too compact, but instead fluffy.

2

Begin filling the inside of the pillow with the newspaper. Don’t pack it in as, again, you want it to act as a stuffing inside the pillowcase. Fill it as close to the top as possible.

3

Once full, gently press the newspaper down into the pillowcase. Grasp the top of the pillowcase and twist.

Begin accenting the green ribbon or scrap fabric with the raffia. This will give it a fun, rustic look and also look like vines coming out of the stem.

6

Once you are done, you can choose keep it as a whole pumpkin or add a face to turn it into a jacko-lantern. To do this, simply cut basic shapes out of your black felt. You can do circles, triangles, squares, etc. Apply some craft glue to each piece and press onto the pillowcase creating a face.

Allow plenty of drying time before displaying.

Have fun!

about those issues,” she said, referring to bullying and harassment.

There are other health issues for parents contemplating a cellphone for a child. Fejt mentioned radiation, though it has not been proven to affect health, as another consideration in younger children with cells. In addition, holding up a cellphone with a shoulder, as well as continual texting can result in wrist, elbow, shoulder, thumb and finger pain.

Besides the safety and health issues, parents should be aware of plan charges and usage of the cellphones and monitor how they are being used.

Sharing the cellphone plan can result in overages that teens and kids are not aware of.

“It’s a privilege to have that phone,” Fejt said. “If they do something, that privilege does get taken away.”

What’s Cooking?

By Jan D’Atri

Pan-Seared Pork Chop Casserole Casseroles are amazing. Their makeahead versatility is a great helper in the kitchen. But casseroles also provide the opportunity to let ingredients meld, often creating more robust flavors as they cook. Then, there’s the pan-seared method of cooking, where ingredients cook quickly on the outside, searing in those wonderful juices.

One of my all-time favorite dishes combines pan searing and casseroles.

In this recipe, the pan-seared pork chop is finished in a casserole dish and smothered with sautéed mushrooms.

Ah, the best of both worlds! To make this fall favorite even more delicious, I’ve given you a simple recipe for homemade apple chunks as a perfect accompaniment, too!

Look for big, thick bone-in pork chops for maximum flavor and make a plan to dish up a plate of goodness for any weeknight or Sunday supper.

Pan-Seared Pork Chop Casserole 4 (1/2-inch-thick bone-in) pork chops 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup flour for dredging 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 cup (1 medium to large) sweet yellow onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, slivered or chopped 1 tablespoon parsley 1 1/2 pounds fresh white mushrooms, sliced 1/2 cup marsala or sherry wine or chicken broth

The Pad Woonsen with “glass noodles” and Mee Grob are two of Osha Thai Café’s most popular dishes.

We chose the spicy cashew stir-fry ($10). The dish featured mounds of cashews, bell peppers, carrots, celery, mushroom, onions, scallions and chicken. What stood out about this dish was that all the veggies were fresh and crisp. The sauce was mildly spicy, easily palatable and not thick, sweet or sticky. It was a perfectly light sauce that allowed the flavors of the vegetables and the chicken to shine.

My son picked this dish as his favorite of the evening.

We also enjoyed the Pad Woonsen ($12), a traditional dish made in a wok with “glass noodles,” cabbage, shrimp, onion, scallions, carrots, mushrooms, celery, bean sprouts and egg. Again, the joy of this dish was the fresh

For dessert, we went traditional and ordered Thai sweet sticky rice with coconut milk and fresh mango ($6.50).

The rice truly was sticky and warm and pressed flat with a topping of slightly sweet coconut milk. Together with the generous portion of sliced fresh mango, the dessert is not heavy and just sweet enough. With such a wide variety of entrees, there is something on the menu for everyone.

Noble Haven Provides Comfortable Assisted Living Dawn Haven has taken her years of nursing skills and developed a nurturing, safe, loving and engaging assisted living home in Scottsdale.

Making important and compassionate decisions for a loved one can be challenging or even stressful. Noble Haven helps to put a family’s mind at ease.

“I’m licensed for five residents, and I plan to offer a multitude of potential services,” said Haven, a family nurse practitioner with more than 20 years’ experience who now owns and manages Noble Haven, There are no longterm contracts or commitments required of the families that place loved ones with Noble Haven, which offers hourly, daily, weekly and monthly plans.

Some transportation is available, and vitals of all residents are taken on a regular basis.

Injections, transfusions, wound care and end-of-life care can also be provided at Noble Haven.

“We concentrate on the individual needs of our residents. We have a low staff-to-patient ratio,” noted Haven.

She also acts as a liaison between her patients and their families and medical providers. The home will honor the dining, social, activity and religious preferences of its residents.

“We tailor activities to their preferences and abilities,” said Haven, noting she has staff on hand to tailor services to patients’ needs and abilities.

Regularly occurring events include outdoor time on the shaded patio, a Saturday champagne brunch, a Sunday cookout and weekly manicures and movies. Noble Haven also has a licensed Arizona barber on staff, and hairstyling for females is also provided.

Noble Haven is located at 15731 N. 102nd St., east of Thompson Peak Parkway. Call (480) 361-4884 to arrange for a tour of the home or to make an appointment to meet Dawn Haven.
