Changebridge Medical Associates Combats Obesity Epidemic

Changebridge Medical Associates Combats Obesity Epidemic with Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program That Targets Long-Term Success.  March is ‘peak time’ for dieting as people look toward warmer months.

At a time when obesity is fast approaching smoking as the leading preventable cause of death,¹ Changebridge Medical Associates (www.changebridgemedical.com) is offering a new medically supervised weight-loss program focusing on realistic, long-term weight loss.
 
The program’s introduction comes during a peak time for dieting, according to market researcher the NPD Group. “Traditionally, many consumers start diets as part of New Year’s resolutions; however, the actual percentage of consumers on a diet doesn’t peak until March,” according to the group.²

Experts debate power line safety

Experts disagreed whether electromagnetic fields from power lines cause cancer or other health problems, as they testified Monday at the final state Board of Public Utilities hearing on Public Service Electric and Gas Company's proposed line upgrade.  Shortly after the discussion of EMFs, the utility and opponents of the $750 million, 47-mile Susquehanna-Roseland project wrapped up five days of testimony in front of BPU Commissioner Joseph Fioraliso. The entire board is expected to decide Jan. 15 whether PSE&G should be allowed to add 500 kilovolt lines to the corridor, which passes through Morris County.

No studies have proven that EMFs from power lines cause leukemia or other health issues, testified PSE&G's expert William H. Bailey, a scientist, although he did say some studies have found an association between the fields and childhood leukemia.

Martin Blank, an expert for eight municipalities, two school districts, environmentalists and a citizens group opposing the project, said there is much evidence that fields at lower levels than those expected on the new line could lead to leukemia, breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

An Eye-Opener On Ovarian Cancer

SIGNS OF OVARIAN CANCER (Even In The Absence Of Ovaries)

I hope you all take the time to read this and pass it on to all you can. Send this to the women in your life that you care about. Years ago, Gilda Radner died of ovarian cancer. Her symptoms were inconclusive, and she was treated for everything under the sun until it was too late. This blood test finally identified her illness but alas, too late. She wrote a book to heighten awareness. Gene Wilder is her widower.

Dr. Tanya Maximoff completes LASER Training with Sports Industry Doctor

Dr Tanya Maximoff has just completed a comprehensive Low Level Light Therapy (LASER) training in Rhode Island with Dr. Jeff Spencer whose A list clientele include Tiger Woods, Bono, Lance Armstrong and the US cycling team with whom he was on the last 8 winning Tour de France teams. "I have been working with cold laser in my office since February and after this weekend I will never look at any injury the same way again!" 

 

Scar tissue from an injury whether new or old, sprain/strain, major surgery or even a mole being removed can affect the body's natural energy grid altering and sometimes blocking the signals from the brain. This distortion of the signal to the connective tissue affects your body's normal movement pattern and in only a few days your brain resets itself to adapt to this new altered and incorrect position. In other words, it starts putting too much pressure on key areas that will break down or wear out sooner than they should...so when you wake up with aches and pains or worse, don't just wonder what you did yesterday...wonder why you didn't get properly treated right after the fall or the accident or the surgery.

Healing at the speed of light?? By Dr. Tanya Maximoff

Remember the old Star Trek episodes where Dr. Jim came in with his laser beam and cured whatever ailed you??  Well apparently the rest of the world has been using the Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for over 40 years to relieve pain, remove scars, heal wounds, regenerate nerves and solve addictions.  On January 17th, 2002, the first U.S. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) company, Erchonia, received FDA clearance through clinical trial.  The study took 100 patients complaining of Neck and Shoulder pain.  Half were treated with a useless red light (placebo group), similar to that on a computer mouse or grocery check-out, and the other half received LLLT.  The treatment group beat the placebo group by 66%!   That’s 66% faster relief and more complete relief, a remarkable margin.  Such a study is known as “double blind” research, and is the gold standard for measuring the validity of a therapy.  Similar studies have been passed by the FDA for Carpal Tunnel, Wounds and Scar Tissue.  There are over 2000 published studies on LLLT reporting zero negative side effects.

LDA President Concerned Over Power Lines

Terry Cavanaugh is a long time Montville resident and is President of the Learning Disabilities Assn. of New Jersey.  She writes the following:        

 PSE&G has NEVER answered the question of the long-term neurological impact this will have on our children -

The Learning Disabilities Association has been very active in collecting data on the effects of pollutants on the pre-natal fetus - this includes diesel fuel emissions ( school buses idling in front of schools) , toxins in cleaning fluids, lead poisoning, etcetcetc ad nauseum - the biggest problem, despite the admirable efforts of citizens to clean up the environment, is that it takes TEN YEARS for studies to be validated!!!! DO WE WAIT TEN YEARS TO FIND OUT THAT OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED???

ARTICLE: WELLNESS IN OUR PERSONAL ENVIRONMENTS

Ask ten people what Wellness is and you get ten different answers. Wikipedia, the online dictionary, states that Wellness (in medicine) refers to a state of being healthy and since that is a ‘circular’ description to me, I like better the phrase that Halbert L. Dunn was credited with in the 1950’s, “Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being”

It’s wonderful to wish someone to ‘be well!’ and we certainly wish our loved ones to be well and live well just as we wish those ‘states of well-being’ for ourselves. So, we can say that Wellness is a state of well-being in all ages of life; a life span that is increasing every year (100 year olds are less and less unusual).
