“Let Thy Medicine Be Thy Food”By Dr. Greg Fors, DC
Board-certifi ed Neurologist
Hippocrates, considered one of the founding fathers of Western medicine, said: “Let thy medicine be thy food, and thy food, thy medicine”. Real healing and continued wellness is only possible when we realize food is our best medicine. No pills, supplements or “super foods” can make up for a bad diet. After more than 25 years of practice, treating countless patients with chronic illnesses, I have found that the most powerful tool for healing is food. Today we treat food as if it’s only purpose is to act as a vehicle for pleasant tastes and textures to give us a short-term pleasure fi x. The research fi eld of nutrigenomics has shown that food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to either health or disease. What you eat programs your body with messages of health or illness. So what are you telling your self daily with the food you eat, wellness or chronic disease? How do we start this process of seeing food as our best medicine? Begin by not being led around by your tongue! When our ancient ancestors forged for foods to eat, their tongue helped them to survive because the tongue and brain are programmed for sweet and fatty fl avors. Why? Wild foods that have a mild sweet fl avor were generally non poisonous, compared to bitter and alkaloid containing wild foods. This is the mild sweetness we can taste today in whole foods such as nuts, seeds and vegetables, not the sugary fi x in today’s processed foods. Food manufacturers learned early on that they could lead us around by our tongue by adding sugars. Our tongue and brain are also very partial to fatty rich foods. Again when our ancient ancestors forged and hunted for their food, calories to store to get through lean times were vital. Wild fruits and vegetables do not provide any fat content and wild game is generally less than 1% fat. Without food labels on their forged food items they had to rely on their inner intelligence to drive them to eat what was best for them. This urge is intact today, so we are still driven to eat sweet and fatty tasting foods much to our detriment. Free yourself from this enslavement, use your intelligence to choose only real whole foods. We really all know how we should eat. I tell all my patients, “eat like your mother told you to eat” fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts and lean meats such as fi sh and fowl. Eat real foods that are perishable, that do not come out of the package and have a long shelf life. Our hunter-gatherer ancient ancestors ate more than 800 varieties of plant foods! The deep rich colors found within plant foods are our source for phytonutrients, which act like specifi c medicines in our bodies. So think color, eat the rainbow! Each color represents a different family of healing compounds. The vast array of colors in vegetables represents more than 25,000 chemicals that are benefi cial. These phytonutrients act as antioxidants and anti-infl ammatory compounds that improve detoxifi cation and hormonal balance. Today modern research has shown that the most healthful way to eat is known as the Mediterranean diet. Recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association have shown that even individuals in their 70s can improve their health and increased longevity by following Mediterranean diet. You can learn about the Mediterranean diet online by going to advancedmediterraneandiet.com.

► On Dec. 13, 1621, under the care of Robert Cushman, the fi rst American furs to be exported from the continent leave for England aboard the Fortune. During the crossing, the Fortune was captured by the French, and its valuable cargo of furs was taken. Cushman was detained on the Ile d’Dieu before being returned to England.
► On Dec. 14, 1799, George Washington, the fi rst U.S. president, dies at age 67. Two days earlier, he rode out into a freezing sleet to survey business affairs on his estate. He returned home late for a dinner engagement and refused to take the time to change out of his wet clothes. The next day, Washington developed a severe respiratory infection and died the following day. His last words were “’Tis well.”
► On Dec. 16, 1811, the greatest series of earthquakes in U.S. history begins in the Mississippi River Valley near New Madrid, Mo., when a quake of an estimated 8.6 magnitude slams the region. The earthquake raised and lowered parts of the Mississippi Valley by as much as 15 feet and changed the course of the Mississippi River. ► On Dec. 10, 1915, the one-millionth Ford car rolls off the assembly line at the River Rouge plant in Detroit. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford sold more than 15 million Model Ts in all; they initially cost $850
(about $20,000 in today’s dollars).
► On Dec. 11, 1946, the United Nations votes to establish the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to provide relief and support to children. Only two countries have failed to ratify the treaty -- Somalia and the United States.
► On Dec. 12, 1989, hotel magnate Leona Helmsley receives a four-year prison sentence, 750 hours of community service and a $7.1 million tax fraud fi ne in New York. Helmsley became the object of loathing and disgust when she quipped that “only the little people pay taxes.”
► On Dec. 22, 1808, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony has its world premiere in Vienna. The concert venue was freezing cold and the orchestra played poorly enough to force the nearly deaf composer -- also acting as conductor and pianist -- to stop the ensemble partway into one passage and start again from the very beginning.
► On Dec. 19, 1917, four teams of the National Hockey League play the league’s fi rst two games. At the time of its inception, the NHL was made up of the Canadiens and the Wanderers (both of Montreal), the Ottawa Senators, the Quebec Bulldogs and the Toronto Arenas.
► On Dec. 21, 1970, rock star Elvis Presley pays a surprise visit to President Richard Nixon at the White House to discuss the war on drugs. Presley apparently was not searched before being granted admission: Upon meeting Nixon, he presented the president with a gift
-- a World War II-era Colt .45 pistol.
► On Dec. 20, 1989, “Roger & Me,” a documentary by Michael Moore about his quest to interview Roger Smith, then chairman and chief executive offi cer of General Motors, opens in theaters. The fi lm examines the devastating impact on the people of Moore’s hometown of Flint, Mich., following the closing of several General Motors auto plants in the area.

• Many of the ornaments in the early years of decorating trees were handmade from paper, cloth or even foods, such as cookies. Hand-stitched snowfl akes were also very popular. • Special items that emerged for decorating trees in America were cranberries and popcorn. Early Americans would string the readily available, colorful foods for trimming their trees. • President Franklin Pierce was the fi rst U.S. president to have a Christmas tree in the White House, in 1856. The fi rst “national” Christmas tree erected was by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. However, the fi rst “offi cial” tree was not switched on complete with electric lights until President Calvin Coolidge moved the tree to its location near the White House in 1923.• Up until the 1880s Christmas ornaments were mainly handmade by families and friends and given as gifts. Many were disposed of after a season. The only ornaments sold publicly were hand-cast lead and hand-blown glass German decorations.• German entrepreneurs saw the possibility of a market developing for mass marketed ornaments in the early1880s. • Lauscha, Germany became the hub of the glass ornament business and had many glass companies. For years they had been producing glass articles such as marbles and bottles
and soon began creating glass molds for ornaments. Their fi rst ornaments were molds of Christian saints, famous people, children, animals and more. These new ornaments were a huge success and were in demand. Nearly every family in the Lauscha area became involved in the business of making glass Christmas ornaments either in a home-based foundry or local factory • Ornaments became highly prized possessions with the special touches of individual craftsmanship. Germany captured the world market for glass Christmas ornaments for many years. • Another German city, Dresden, near Lauscha, started its own ornament businesses, different from the glass ornaments of their neighbors. The Dresden artists constructed brightly colored designs of birds, fi sh and other animals out of pressed and embossed paper. Their treasures were a hit as well; for weddings, birthdays and other occasions in addition to Christmas. • As the decorations gained popularity in the United States, F.W. Woolworth, an early American mass merchandiser, began importing German glass ornaments in the 1880s. By 1890, he was reportedly selling approximately $25 million worth of the ornaments! • When World War I broke out in 1914 many things, including sentiments toward purchases of Christmas ornaments, changed. There was a backlash against all things German. Sales and production of German ornaments slowed,
but only for a while. • Also, Japan started producing ornaments on a huge scale in the 1920s and took a slice out of the ornament market that Germany held. The Japanese specialized in newer and more colorful designs. The Czech Republic also became known for their fancy Christmas ornaments and shipped many to the U.S. • More than 250 million Christmas ornaments were being imported to America by 1935, mostly from Germany, Japan, and the Czech Republic. This was when U.S. businessman and German immigrant, Max Eckhardt, an importer of ornaments, knew that America needed to be producing, not just importing. • Eckhardt and Bill Thompson of the F.W. Woolworth Company worked together to convince the Corning Glass Company of Corning, New York to enter the ornament market. Corning had been making thousands of light bulbs out of very thin glass using a “ribbon” glassblowing machine. The machine could produce 2,000 bulbs per minute! Eckhardt believed the machine could be altered to produce Christmas ornaments instead of light bulbs.• Corning began trials with their equipment and employees, making ornaments in various shapes and sizes. Soon, it was clear they had the equipment and abilities for the job. Woolworth’s requested production of over 230,000 glass holiday items for their stores. In 1939 they began selling the American-made ornaments.
• By 1940, Corning Glass was producing nearly 300,000 decorations per day and shipping them all over the U.S. Corning actually sold most of their ornaments to Shiny Brite, a company owned by Max Eckhardt. Eckhardt’s business was so big, he had four New Jersey locations and his main offi ce and display room in New York City. • Eckhardt’s Shiny Brite factories continued making glass Christmas balls and decorations throughout World War II. They used innovative solutions when products were rationed. When metal paints and varnish were not available, the company would use lighter paints and cardboard instead of the usual metal tops and heavy paint. • In the post-war era, Shiny Brite began using vibrant hues and used metal tops again for their ornaments. They were stamped to show that Shiny Brite ornaments were U.S.- made! The boxes were even marked “American made.” These are valuable collectibles today.

▲ Use silicone caulk to make non-skid beads on the bottom of your pet’s dishes. They will stay in one place instead of getting scooted all around the kitchen.
▲ Need a quick ironing job but don’t have time to iron? Spray a clean kitchen towel with a mixture of water and a little fabric softener
until damp. Pop it in the dryer with the item that’s wrinkled. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to get all the wrinkles out, and it will smell great to boot!
▲ While we’re on ironing tips, here’s a great one from T.C. in Alabama: “If you have mineral deposits on your iron, use a toothbrush and toothpaste (mild abrasive) to polish them off your iron’s face. Rinse with water, and next time, use distilled water for steaming.”
▲ When your cabinet door magnet locks are too strong, try putting a piece of tape over the magnet. It decreases the strength of the magnet.
▲ If you paint your radiators, make sure that the paint you use is heat-resistant. To get the best fi nish, paint while the radiator is warm.
▲ Need a quick batch of cookies? Keep a box mix of cake on hand. Instead of the listed ingredients, add two eggs and a half-cup of oil to the mix. Mix and shape, then bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. They are really good, and you can get pretty creative.
▲ Inexpensive gift idea: On the front of an empty photo album or scrapbook, print out and arrange color photos of your recipient in a collage. Glue the photos to the front of the album and cover with a decoupage glaze, like Mod Podge. Let dry and glaze again. You’ve just made a one-of-a-kind gift!
▲ Altoids Peppermints. Chewing two curiously strong Altoids Peppermints may clear up a stuffedup nose. Peppermint relieves congestion.

One of the most intriguing ancient sites in the world sits at a high elevation in the Andean mountains of Peru in South America. • The magnifi cent setting sits 9,060 feet (2,761 m) above sea level. Covering 5 square miles (12.95 sq km), Machu Picchu is the most unusual urban creation known that was built by the ancient Incan Empire. The terraces, ramps and giant walls look as if they were cut naturally in the rock escarpments but they were built by the Incans. • Machu Picchu means “Old Peak” in the local Quechuan language. The Incas may not have been the fi rst people to use the mountaintop site but they were the ones who turned the site into an extraordinary city.• The ruins of the old civilization sit high in the clouds above the Urubamba River. There are remains of palaces, baths, storage rooms, temples and about 150 houses. The structures are carved from the granite of the mountain top and are architectural and aesthetic wonders. Many of the giant building blocks weigh 50 tons or more (45 metric tons +) but are fi tted together in such a way as to not allow a thin knife blade to be inserted in the mortarless joints.• The ancient city is invisible from below and completely self-contained. The agriculture is and was suffi cient for the residents with natural springs for drinking and crop production. • Yale history professor, Hiram Bingham, is given credit for “discovering” Machu Picchu in 1911. In fact, the Incan people and others had already found the area! He “rediscovered” it and brought it much fame by revealing what he saw in lectures, news articles and books after his return. • The Inca civilization is one of the ancient cultures that has been studied for centuries. Back in the time of Columbus’ “discovery” of America, the Incan Empire was in control of most of South America. A mysterious culture, the Incans had phenomenal abilities in construction, agricultural, and organization that are still apparent in the high mountains of the city
of Machu Picchu. • The Incas were overthrown by the Spanish in 1532 and their culture became virtually unknown until discoveries such as Bingham’s revealed much of their history years later. • It is believed, through much of the archeological evidence, that Machu Picchu was an important ceremonial center for the Incas. In 2001, Peru’s fi rst president of Andean Indian descent, Alejandro Toledo, celebrated his inauguration at Machu Picchu.• Even though the ancient city is not easy to get to, there are thousands of tourists who fl ock there every year. In fact, the Peruvian government introduced new tourist limits in 2011 to protect the historical sites. • Train and bus rides now take tourists to the top of the mountain that is Machu Picchu today. In Bingham’s time in the early 1900s mules and hiking were the only way to go. When the trails and old city were cleared of overgrown brush after years of neglect, well-constructed roads with pavement and drainage were discovered. The Incas had set up a nice system that was ahead of their time. • Hiking is still possible for tourists who prefer more adventure. There are many stairs at Machu Picchu; in fact, more than 100 individual staircases, many of them carved somewhat miraculously from single slabs of stone.

The fi rst Christmas cards were issued to raise awareness of people in need. In 1843, Sir Henry Cole, in England, wanted to help those living in desolate conditions. • Sir Henry was a writer of children’s books, handbooks for art and design and many more ventures. He was involved in public service for more than 50 years, including assisting with the postal service. • Being a man with many personal and business friends and acquaintances, and considering that people would hand write their Christmas greetings, he felt that he didn’t have time to write them. In 1843, he commissioned artist John Calcott Horsley to design a card that would depict the poor living conditions under which many lived. His idea was to raise awareness and encourage help for the poor. • Ironically, the card that Horsley made for Sir Henry Cole caused quite a stir of criticism. The happy family on the front of the card included a child sipping wine! As in today’s society, this was not acceptable behavior. In spite of the inappropriateness, the Christmas card was a hit. • Neither Cole nor Horsley had any idea of the impact their Christmas cards would have on Britain, later America and even the world over. By 1880 the design and development of cards would become big business and open up opportunities for writers, artists, printers and engravers.• The fi rst Christmas cards were not religious in nature. They usually were quite plain with depictions of animals, winter scenes, girls, dolls and more. A few had drawings of angels. • The fi rst appearance of Christmas cards in the United States was in 1874. Bavarian-born lithographer, Louis Prang, is often referred to as the “Father of the
American Christmas card.”• Prang ran a successful printing company in Boston during the late nineteenth century, producing high quality reproductions of famous art work and greeting cards, using a technique called chromolithography. Prior to his cards, Christmas cards were rarely exchanged in America. His cards were among the fi rst to depict religious scenes. • U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the fi rst offi cial Christmas card from the White House in 1953. Now, a common practice, the offi cial White House cards are usually designed by prominent American artists and depict White House scenes. In 1961 there were just 2000 recipients of the offi cial cards; by 2005 there were 1.4 million!• One of the largest greeting card companies in the world, Hallmark, has done remarkably well with Christmas cards, wrapping paper, ornaments and more. All kinds of cards are made by the company started by two brothers in 1910 in Norfolk, Nebraska. They moved to Kansas City, Missouri shortly after to be near a bigger market of customers. The slogan, “when you care enough to give the very best,” was adopted in 1944.• The international headquarters for Hallmark are located at Crown Center in Kansas City. The Mayor’s Christmas Tree, one of the tallest in the nation, is erected at Crown Center Square every year. The Hallmark Visitor Center is fun any time of year, with free admission. There are many great exhibits, including one where you can press a button to create a bow that you can keep as a souvenir.• Another free Christmas goody happened a few years ago in Germany. In 2004, the German post offi ce gave away 20 million scented stickers for Christmas cards with smells like fi r trees, cinnamon, gingerbread, and more. What a “scent-sational” idea!

New Year’s Hangover Do’s and Don’tsWant to avoid the misery of a New Year’s hangover? Loyola University Health System family physician Dr. Aaron Michelfelder offers the following tips:
Before the Party:-- Plan to drink moderately -- a maximum of fi ve drinks for men and three drinks for women during a minimum three-hour period.-- To prevent infl ammation, take an anti-infl ammatory drug such as ibuprofen or Aleve.
During the Party:-- Eat fi rst, and then drink, not the other way around. Food slows the absorption of alcohol.-- Drink slowly.-- To prevent dehydration, drink a glass of water after each alcoholic drink.-- Take a B vitamin supplement.
After the Party:-- Do not drink and drive.-- Get as much sleep as possible.
The Morning After:-- Take another B vitamin.-- Drink lots of water.-- Exercise (if you can stand it). During vigorous exercise, blood circulates three times as fast as it does when you are sitting on the couch. And the faster you circulate blood through your liver and kidneys, the faster your body will remove the toxins.
What Doesn’t Work:-- Coffee will make you more alert, but it won’t prevent or help a hangover.-- Forget “hair of the dog” -- the notion that having a drink can relieve a hangover. It will only make you feel worse. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
