After helping hundreds of Westchester County herniated disc sufferers eliminated their pain, Local Doctor explains how…
“Back Pain Technology Cheats Mother Nature Helps Herniated Discs Heal Naturally… In As Little As 25 Minutes!” At Last! Westchester County Doctor Offers Technology That Doesn’t Just End SEVERE Pain From Herniated Discs, But Helps Your Body To Start Rebuilding Them… As Fast As Humanly Possible! Best Part: You can check it all out for FREE if you like! There is no doubt… technology has made all of our lives better… and easier. Just about every miraculous medical cure and comfort of modern living can be attributed to amazing breakthroughs in technology. Heck, laser eye surgery can give people who are almost as blind as a bat perfect 20/20 vision. How amazing is that? That’s why it’s no surprise that technology might be able to solve your back and neck pain from herniated/bulging discs or sciatica…for good. Here is why: Back and neck pain can be devastating. And nothing is worse than going to doctor after doctor… trying treatment after treatment… spending money you can’t afford… and still suffering in pain. That’s why… I bet you would love to instantly end your pain… without any risk what-soever… and have it never come back for the rest of your life? Well, that might NOT be so easy. But, what if there was a wonderful advancement in technology that, with a handful of simple, non-invasive treatments, could possibly have you out of pain and on your way to healing naturally? Better yet, what if this technology could possibly heal your herniated/bulging discs (instead of cutting it out like surgery) so you have the best chance to live pain-free and do all the things you want and love to do? And what if this technology was: 3 FDA cleared! 3 Proven safe and effective! 3 Allows your herniated discs to heal naturally without the risky and dangerous side effects of surgery! 3 Relieves pain fast… in some cases in as little as 25 minutes! Well, guess what? There is such technology and there is a very good chance it can help you… like it has already helps thousands of herniated/bulging disc and sciatica sufferers all around the country… No Matter How Bad Your Pain Is, How Long You’ve Been Suffering Or How Many Other Treatments And Doctors Have Failed You! Don’t laugh. It’s really true. Here’s proof…
When you have a herniated disc, compressive forces cause your spinal bones to come together… basically squashing your disc. The space in between your bones decreases and the soft, jello-like disc material leaks out. This disc material that leaks out is called a herniated disc and can cause severe pain, numbness and tingling in your neck, back, arms or legs when the herniation pushes into and “pinches” a nerve. So it makes sense, if you could slightly pull the spinal bones apart… that would open up the space, take the pressure off the disc, the disc off the nerve and solve the problem. Right? But the only problem is… how do you do that? For years and years, doctors have been trying to do it with traction. But traction has been proven ineffective and often very painful. Why? Traction doesn’t work because when you have a herniated or bulging disc, the area is injured and when you try to move, your muscles go into spasm. Spasm is your body’s way of trying to protect you from causing further injury. That’s why traction hurts so much. As soon as the traction starts… your muscles overprotect the area and spasm. But the good news is: Now there is technology that out-smarts your body’s natural spasm reaction. In other words: It fools mother nature! This technology is called non-surgical spinal decompression (NSSD) and here’s how it works… NSSD is very different from plain traction because it has advanced computer technology that actually senses your spinal muscles. When it starts to gently pull, it immediately knows when your muscles start to contract and it stops pulling. As soon as your muscles relax, it starts pulling again. The amazing thing is: the computer senses your muscles contraction so early… you don’t even feel what is going on. Which means you never feel any pain! In fact, the only thing most patients feel is… RELIEF!!! But the best part is: NSSD is able to gently separate your spinal bones which, in many cases, actually sucks the herniated disc material back into the disc where it belongs! This takes away your pain and allows your herniated and bulging discs to heal naturally!
And check this out: Treatments are pleasant and simple. All you have to do is lie on your back, listen to your favorite music, read a magazine… or… take a nap! The wonderful technology does everything while you simply RELAX the pain away! To sum up NSSD: • For most patients it is 100% painless… in fact many patients actually fall asleep during treatment! • Works fast! Most patients get relief after a handful of treatments – some after the very first! • Is non-invasive so it does not have the dangerous risks of surgery! • Gets to the root cause of the problem and helps it heal naturally! Isn’t modern technology wonderful? And wouldn’t you like to… Give This Great Technology A Try… For Free? If you would, there’s great news. There is a Doctor located at 222 Westchester Ave. Suite 405 in White Plains who has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this wonderful technology and has been treating herniated/bulging disc and sciatica patients with incredible success. His name is Dr. Jonathan Donath DC, MS and he is so excited about the results he’s been getting, he would like to share it with as many pain sufferers as possible. But There Is A Catch… There’s always a catch... isn’t there? Even though this technology has helped a majority of the patients Dr. Donath has treated… it is not a wonder cure and it does not help everyone.
On the right: healthy disc. Center: Herniated disc with soft disc material leaking out. On the left: Herniated disc material compressing or “pinching” nerve.
For that reason, Dr. Donath does a complete examination on every potential patient and only accepts you if he feels you are most likely to get the pain relief and outcome you are looking for. Dr. Donath’s Special Deal For You! Because the economy is so bad and Dr. Donath wants to help you if possible, he is offering the first 17 people who respond to this article a free consultation and NSSD qualification examination. And if you qualify for NSSD treatments, Dr. Donath will also give you one treatment for FREE! And if you do not qualify, Dr. Donath will help you find the best option for you. That’s why, if you suffer with pain from a herniated/bulging disc or sciatica you should call 914-259-8104 right now. When Barbara answers the phone, simply tell her you would like your free non-surgical spinal decompression consultation and examination. If you are one of the first 17, she will schedule you within the next few days. If you are in a lot of pain or already scheduled for surgery, tell Barbara and she will be sure to get you in immediately. Maybe even today.
On right: Herniated disc with spinal bones “squished” together. Center: NSSD slightly pulls the spinal bones apart, opens up the disc space and allows herniated material to move back into the disc. Left: Herniated material completely back in center of disc allows the disc to heal naturally. Your consultation and examination should take about 60 minutes. During this time you can get all of your questiones answered in a warm and friendly environment. You will know exactly what’s causing your pain and the best possible way to solve it. Dr. Donath will explain to you all your possible options along with his recomendations so you can make the best choice for YOU.
Why Limited To 17? Dr. Donath has limited the number he will accept right now to 17 because he does not believe patients should wait and they should also get the quality personal attention they deserve. When you go for your free visit, I’m sure you will see how unique and pleasant the experience is. It’s nice to be treated like a person and not a number or based on insurance coverage. It’s also nice to know exactly what’s causing your pain and how to relieve it as fast as possible. Dr. Donath’s favorite cases are the one’s that were able to cancel back surgery after only a handful of treatments. Dr. Donath also loves when a herniated disc patient that is in excruciating pain and thinks they’ve tried everything, lays down on the NSSD table, takes a 25 minute nap… and… wakes up with all their pain GONE! Just imagine how it would feel to have all your pain finally gone. Imagine going to bed and being able to sleep the entire night through… … and waking up refreshed and energized… ready to take on the brand new day – without the pain and stiffness that has been terrorizing you. And imagine finally knowing you have the solution to your herniated disc pain. Well, you may not have to just “imagine” anymore… because… NSSD might start relieving your pain… in just 25 minutes! So, if you’d like to see if you qualify and give this amazing technology a try for free… give Barbara a call at 914-259-8104 right now. Why wait one more day in pain when the solution may be one quick phone call away? Call now before someone else gets your free spot. One More Thing It’s Important… Ever since getting this wonderful technology, Dr. Donath’s office has been flooded with calls. For that reason, if when you call, the lines are busy or you go to voice mail… just keep calling back. The possibility of living pain-free is well worth the time and effort it may take you to get through and schedule your appointment. 914-259-8104

When the weather starts to get warmer, there is nothing better than removing all of those layers and getting outside, so breathe in some fresh air after being cooped up all winter.

YOU CAN DO THAT?!? How Creative Advances in Medical Aesthetics Have Changed the World As We Know It…
“Seriously?”, she asked. “You can really do that?” “Absolutely”, I replied with a chuckle. She wasn’t the first patient who asked me that question recently and she definitely won’t be the last! “Can we do it right now?”, she blurted. “Absolutely”, I replied! What she was referring to was immediately starting treatment to transform her body with a revolutionary new noninvasive procedure called CoolSculpting. So hot right now, CoolSculpting is putting media a buzz by turning on it’s head the concept that you have to undergo the knife in order to transform your body! As crazy as it sounds, CoolSculpting is freezing fat, and thereby sculpting your body. You can do it anywhere you have unwanted bulges and you can do it during a lunch break while watching TV, answering emails, or even napping! All it takes is careful consultation and planning, including a 360 degree view of the problem and about an hour per treatment area. Love handles? Gone! Pooch? Gone!! It’s like the genie came down and granted people everywhere their one wish: fear no mirror, without surgery!! How on earth did they figure this out? Doctors back in the 1970s identified a phenomena in children who ate a lot of frozen treats. The particularly exuberant snackers would develop inflammation of the cheeks and mild swelling followed by large dimples! Aptly named “Popsicle Panniculitis”, the brave children who inadvertently gave themselves this condition were the pioneers of Fat Freezing Science. That is not to say you should throw yourself on a snow bank to get thin..that is a good way to get hypothermia and damage your skin. What CoolSculpting has done is turned this fortuitous finding into a science for a controlled and artful way to sculpt your body..And who doesn’t need that?! Who hasn’t been to the gym and worked out as much as they could humanly tolerate only to have a love handle remain? What’s more, this is truly a procedure that just about anyone can tolerate. The fat cells die by a natural process called apoptosis and they are then removed by the body’s macrophages, our natural sweepers, causing minimal stress to the system! And that woman I mentioned? At her 1 week check, she had already lost 5 inches off her waist and hips, and she is just getting started. Optimal results are in 8-12 weeks! So, I ask you, as I ask all my patients!
About the Author Dr Christine Gould, is a graduate of Cornell Medical College and Yale University. Although she doesn’t look old enough, she worked for 20 years in emergency medicine during which she worked over 12 years medical aesthetics. Recently, she has been gleefully gobbling up all the new technologies and procedures and bringing them straight to her lucky patients at her new Fairfield based All About You Medical Spa. All are welcome. No judgement. No boundaries. Unlimited Potential.

Foods that fight cancer Want to eat your way to cancer prevention? Eating the right foods can help. Experts at the American Institute for Cancer Research estimate about one-third of the 1.4 million cancers that occur every year in the United States could be prevented, in part, by making healthier food choices. Take a look at some of the best foods to eat in order to prevent cancer:
Whole grains guard cells from damage: Grocery store shelves are filled with grains and grain products. But not all grains are cancer-fighting foods. Only whole grains curb cancer risk. That’s because whole grains are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and natural plant compounds. Added bonus: the fiber found in whole grains helps you stay full longer, maintain a healthy weight, and keep your cholesterol and blood sugar at normal levels.

Very berry protection against skin cancer: Berries are a wonderful source of Vitamin C. Most berries also contain antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the body from cell damage that could lead to skin cancer, as well as cancers of the bladder, lung, breast and esophagus (the tube where food travels from the throat to the stomach). Grapes help fight breast cancer: Grapes are a rich source of the antioxidant resveratrol. Studies show that resveratrol has the potential to possibly stop cancer from starting in the breast, as well as in the liver, stomach and lymphatic system. The grape’s skin has the most resveratrol, so leave the skin intact. Red and purple grapes have significantly more resveratrol than green grapes. Broccoli beats stomach cancer: These mighty greens are in the cruciferous vegetable family, along with cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale. Studies show that broccoli and its family members have special plant compounds that may protect the body from stomach cancer, as well as cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. Tomatoes topple prostate cancer: The tomato gets its classic red hue from an antioxidant called lycopene. Studies show that lycopene has the potential to fight prostate cancer. The evidence is even stronger for processed tomato products, such as tomato sauce and even ketchup. Processing the tomato ups its cancer-fighting power because it releases the lycopene so it can be more easily absorbed by the body.

BIG dIfference to your diet Don’t skip breakfast By simply making sure you have something healthy for breakfast each morning such as yogurt, fruit, eggs on toast, or a smoothie, you will help prevent those common mid-morning energy slumps and cravings for coffee and sweets. Breakfast also provides you with a good proportion of your daily nutrients and helps set you up for a day of healthier eating.
Water down your fruit juices Fruit juice is very high in natural sugars called fructose, which can contribute to unbalanced blood sugar levels and weight gain. So if you love juice try pouring just a quarter of a glass of juice and then fill the rest with water. You will soon get used to the flavor and you will be reducing your sugars and upping your water intake. Fresh juice is always best, but if you buy bottled make sure it contains no added sugars.
If YOU ExPErIENCE: • A dull ache, burning or heaviness in the legs • Swelling of the feet, ankles, calves or legs • Itching, dry, stretched or scaling skin • Sores, bleeding and/or bruising after a minor injury You may be a candidate for insurance paid treatment. 87% of people with varicose veins do not seek treatment. But, varicose veins are not just unattractive and painful. Varicose veins also can be dangerous! These superficial veins are where you develop phlebitis (superficial clot and inflammation). Phlebitis increases the chance of associated deep vein thrombosis, and this increases the risk of pulmonary emboli — life-threatening blood clots IN-OFFICE PROCEDURES • MINIMAL DOWNTIME • LATEST LASER TECHNOLOGY

Snack on protein-rich foods Instead of your mid-morning donut break go for something healthy that is high in protein like a trail mix (raw nuts, seeds and dried fruit), low-fat cottage cheese on a rice cake, or hummus and veggie sticks. Snacking on protein-rich foods in-between meals is the best way to curb sugar cravings, and keep you satisfied until your next meal.
Go fishing Swap red meat for some oily fish a couple of nights a week. Fish like salmon, trout, and mackerel are packed with healthy omega-3 fats, which help dampen inflammation in the body and boost your memory. Eating too much red meat can have the opposite effect, it can promote inflammation.

5 Reasons to Have a Vein Screening Dr. Alex Afshar/The Vein Institute of Connecticut Most of our young lives, strong and healthy legs and veins are taken for granted. As time goes on, wear and tear causes problems from mild to severe, as your veins can be the cause of discomfort and even disability. In normal circulation, arteries carry blood from the heart to the body, and veins return the blood to the heart. Veins have one-way valves, and when the valve opens, blood flows against gravity toward the heart. When the valve closes, blood is prevented from flowing backward. According to Dr. Alex Afshar of the Vein Institute of Connecticut, "The problem occurs when the valves don't close properly and the blood begins to flow back down the leg, towards gravity. The reverse blood flow causes pooling and vein-wall weakening, which can result in a variety of venous diseases." Treatments are available but, Dr. Afshar advises, “The first step toward a successful treatment is an accurate diagnosis. Before making any treatment recommendations, it’s important to determine whether your vein problem is a cosmetic or medical one.”
TOP 5 CONDITIONS FOR VEIN SCREENING 1.
Spider /Varicose Veins: We all know what they are—unsightly blue streaks of varying shades and widths that often appear on the legs. They’re the result of many causes including heredity, activity, pregnancy, weight gain, trauma, and jobs or activities that require a great deal of time on the feet. “Although there is no universal cure for varicose veins, there are effective treatments,” says Dr. Afshar, including laser treatments, compression therapy and chemical and radiofrequency ablations.
2.
Skin changes or discoloration: There are a wide variety of conditions that can lead to problems or abnormalities in skin pigmentation including sun exposure, medications and even heredity. Dr. Afshar advises that the appearance of lower leg skin changes and discoloration is a sign of vein disease.
3.
Restless Leg Syndrome: Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) affects 10-15% of Americans and is characterized by the irresistible urge to move one’s legs to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. Vein disease is one of the two reasons known for causing RLS. While healthy veins return blood to the heart, blood that pools in unhealthy veins can lead to a buildup of toxic metabolic waste, which can cause RLS symptoms. According to recent studies, RLS patients have seen a dramatic drop or elimination of their symptoms through varicose vein therapy. “At Vein Institute of Connecticut, we use state-of-the-art doppler ultrasound imaging to determine if unhealthy veins are contributing to a patient’s RLS,” says Dr. Afshar. “If this is the case, the problem veins are treated using the latest minimally invasive treatment innovations, such as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) or Radiofrequency Ablations (EVRF).”
4.
Leg or ankle swelling: When swollen legs and ankles become chronic and don’t go away, the swelling may be an indication of vein disease such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which blood clots begin to form in the larger, deeper veins of your legs. These blood clots further impair your circulation, weaken your immune system, and increase your risk of several diseases. The worst scenario is if the blood clots break loose from where they formed and travel through the veins. If the blood clots reach your lungs, they can cause a pulmonary embolism (PE); if they reach your brain, they can cause a stroke. Dr. Afshar advises that if you suffer from chronic leg or ankle swelling—or any kind of chronic leg pain—vein screening is an important first step in diagnoses and effective treatment.
5.
Ulcers (open wounds or sores): “Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition where blood does not flow normally up through the veins in the legs toward the heart. Blood stagnates (pools) in the veins of the lower legs, increasing the blood pressure in the legs, and causing chronic inflammation in the veins,” says Dr. Afshar. People with long-term, untreated venous insufficiency can develop open sores in the skin called venous ulcers. Ulcerations develop in areas where blood collects and pools and over time, a visible ulcer develops on the skin. Venous ulcers usually appear just above the ankle on the inside of the leg. If they are not treated they can become quickly infected or even gangrenous. Treating vein disease can heal and prevent future episodes.
TOP 6 SUPPORTIVE MEASURES Dr. Afshar notes that the best way to get temporary relief of your symptoms is to maintain an active lifestyle and to follow these supportive measures: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Elevation: Relax and put your legs up whenever you can. Exercise: Walk frequently or have a low impact workout at the gym. Elastic support hose: Wear support hose to take the stress off your veins. Emollient-skin care: Soothing emollient lotions help reduce itching. Electrolytes: Watch your sodium intake Evaluation: Talk to your doctor about your lifestyle, and ways to better cope with the degree of venous disease involved.

Could sitting too much increase your risk of cancer?
A recent study found that people who spend a lot of time sitting have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. We know that lack of activity can lead to obesity and that obesity is a risk factor for certain types of cancer. That is why we always tell our patients how important it is to stay active. The study analyzed data from 43 previous studies. Together, they included nearly 70,000 cancer patients. According to the findings, people who spent a lot of time sitting had a much greater risk of developing lung, colon or endometrial cancer. Some people think it’s OK to sit all day if they are going to work out for an hour-and-a-half when they get home. But working out does not negate the fact that they just sat for nine hours. Periods of inactivity will still put you at risk. What you do throughout your entire day will impact your health. It’s time to re-think how we orient our work day so we can get in at least five minutes of activity every hour without decreasing productivity. For example, my secretary sits about 100 feet from me, so instead of sending an e-mail or picking up the phone when I need something, I walk out to her desk and talk to her. There are lots of other little things you can do pretty easily that won’t impose on your work day. Here are a few more examples: • Take a break every hour and walk down the hall for a glass of water. • Stand while talking on the phone. • Instead of taking 30 minutes to run errands to a bunch of different people at work, run one errand each hour. While the findings in this study are significant, keep in mind that these types of studies aren’t perfect. They rely on people to recall and report how often they are active, so there are some biases in terms of what people remember and what they will admit to.

A Solution to a Growing Problem For Seniors When seniors and business owners own a life or Key-Man Insurance, they’re essentially sitting on untapped funds. Through a life settlement, Advanced Loan or 1035 Exchange transaction they have the ability to harness the power of their life insurance. These options are not known to many, in tapping into funds to pay for:
Advanced Benefit Loan versus Mortgage Loan: As people look to finally settle down and enjoy the fruits of their labor, it is estimated that 75 million people will look to retire over the next twenty plus years. This calculates to an average of 10,000 people a day as they reach the age of 65. These numbers have many businesses reaching out to this particular demographic in the fields on medicine, travel, finance, and home development.
• In-home and Long Term Care • Grandchildren College Education • Family trust establishment • Paying off mortgage and business loans • Recapitalization of a businees • And Other Essential Services
Home developers have started to market their new home developments in an effort to reach out to this growing community. These new developments look to cater to residents, who are 62+ years, in small towns in the tri state are. These new developments have all the amenities of a self-contained community, such as restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, shopping and access to mass transit to travel in and out of New York City. With the construction of all these new communities and all of its luxuries, these developments come with a high price tag. For some retirees, the price is too exuberant and taking out a mortgage is not desirable. Most retirees just want to enjoy their new home and not work on paying a 30 year mortgage. This is where an Advanced Benefit Loan can help. Taking an advanced benefit loan against their life insurance, they will not have to take a mortgage to pay for their new home. The loan is collateralized against their life insurance. When the life insurance contract matures, the loan is paid by the life insurance proceeds; anything left will be inherited by their heirs. Why do this?? 1. No payment of income tax, this is a loan against your life insurance. 2. No home mortgage loan, you will own your home out right. 3. No credit checks or credit approval by banks. This loan program is designed to assist seniors in accessing cash from their existing life insurance policy with no income requirements, no future premium obligations, and no out-of-pocket expenses. In order to qualify, a senior must have in-force a life insurance policy. A senior will never be rejected due to lack of income, poor credit history, or previous bankruptcy. If you would like to apply or have questions, call us today, we can speak with you to access your financial need, review your life insurance policy and determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, you will be asked to complete a loan application and provide requested documentation. Once we complete our review of your policy, we will notify you of approval and the amount of the loan.

Let me educate you on the benefits of selling your life insurance, taking an Advanced Loan or doing a 1035 Exchange
Seniors need to be informed:
1 3
There are millions of seniors who are in great need of financial resources during retirement, especially given the unknown high cost of long-term care. According to the National Underwriter Company, a $1 million policy with only $103,000 surrender value Can be worth as much as $638,000.

We also know that more than 90% of seniors are unaware that their life insurance policy may have value beyond their cash surrender value.
Isn’t it time to explore another financial option? You need to be informed:
85% of universal life policies and 90% of Term policies never pay out a death benefit.

Waveny LifeCare Network: A Compassionate, Comprehensive Continuum of Care Celebrating 40 years of serving the community
On April 22, 2015, Waveny LifeCare Network will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the day its 5-star skilled nursing center, Waveny Care Center, first opened its doors. With US News & World Report recently naming Waveny Care Center among the nation’s best Nursing Homes of 2015 due to its perfect 5-star rating, the nonprofit organization has much to celebrate. Since its 1975 inception, excellence has served as the compass and cornerstone of the Waveny organization’s mission and commitment to the community. “In everything we do, we emphasize person-centered care that tailors services to individual needs and preferences,” said Bill Piper, Waveny’s Chief Executive Officer. “The belief that our elders represent the heart of the community and should be treated with respect and dignity is at the core of Waveny’s history, development and vision for the future.” Perhaps the key to Waveny’s longevity is its careful balance between a proud history and its capacity for reinvention. “Mission-driven and dynamic, Waveny stands the test of time,” said Kristin Sinatra, Waveny’s Director of Marketing. “Always propelled by community support, our mission is truly to adapt nimbly to meet the changing preferences and growing needs of older adults and their families within lower Fairfield County and beyond.” As those senior needs and preferences have morphed and diversified over the past four decades, Waveny has responded proactively, resulting in a history characterized by growth and evolution. Fueled by the community’s generosity and an unpreceded capital campaign, Waveny
opened its world-renowned Village in 2001 – an awardwinning assisted living residence completely dedicated to therapeutic memory care. The following year in 2002, Waveny merged with New Canaan Inn (now simply called The Inn) to broaden its scope of service to include independent living. Always reassessing and revisiting rather than resting on its laurels, Waveny created brandnew couples suites at both The Village and The Inn just this past year in another act of reinvention. Most recently, Waveny has focused much attention toward broadening its community-based services. “Homeand community-based services allow us to serve people beyond our walls and physical footprint,” said Piper. 2012 saw the launch of Waveny Home Healthcare, and 2013 the introduction of Waveny’s companion and homemaker service called Waveny at Home. Also in 2013, the organization collectively rebranded as Waveny LifeCare Network. “LifeCare is a powerful word,” said Sinatra. “It implies so much about what we are and what we do as a continuum of care with simplicity and precision.” Also underpinning the non-profit organization’s aptitude for delivering upon state-of-the-art best practices is its powerful penchant for fundraising, “friend-raising” and development. Waveny’s ongoing efforts to continually improve itself are largely driven by community support through grants, fundraising events and annual appeals. Recent results include a 750 kW generator powerful enough to light up the entire main campus, a network-wide transition to Point of Service or “Restaurant Style” Dining, the implementation of an IV therapy pro-
gram at the Care Center to accommodate trends in growing acuity, as well as a series of comprehensive refurbishments and upgrades at the Care Center, The Village and The Inn. The organization recently hosted its 7th annual Mixed Paddle Platform Tennis tournament, and is actively preparing for its 13th annual “Swinging for Seniors,” Golf & Tennis outing that raises funds for Waveny’s resident aid program and helps to support those who cannot afford the full cost of their care. Without a doubt, the final piece of the puzzle and secret to Waveny’s success is its talented staff as well as the hundreds of volunteers who collectively donate more than 15,000 service hours throughout the organization each year. As it turns 40, Waveny LifeCare Network enthusiastically reflects upon a decorated past, an exciting present and a dynamic future. Based in New Canaan, Connecticut, Waveny LifeCare Network provides a comprehensive continuum of care to serve the growing needs of older adults from all areas. Waveny is a not-for-profit organization that offers independent living at The Inn, assisted living for people with Alzheimer’s and memory loss at The Village, and skilled nursing at Waveny Care Center. It also includes the Brown Geriatric Evaluation Clinic, an Adult Day Program that offers flexible weekday hours and transportation, inpatient and outpatient Rehabilitation Services, respite programs and community-based services including Waveny Home Healthcare, Waveny at Home and Geriatric Care Management.

7 steps to eco-friendly shopping Eco-friendly shopping doesn't have to be difficult. Here are seven things you can do to make your shopping trips greener. 1. Shop online: But avoid next-day air, because it uses five times the fuel of things sent by ground. 2. Buy in large amounts: It's all about saving on the packaging. Buy a large gallon size olive oil and the biggest bags of granola you can find. You can always decant them into smaller jars when you get home. 3. Bulk food bins are the way to go: Most major health food stores have these bins, and they are fabulous because they are cheaper and greener. If you want to be super green, reuse plastic bags from home to fill. 4. Choose organic: Buying products made from organic ingredients is not only healthier and safer for you and your family, but it also helps to protect groundwater, farmers and wildlife.
5. Share your purchases: Before making a trip to the grocery store, call a couple of neighbors or friends to see if you can shop for them. They can e-mail you a list and it'll save them a trip. It'll be their turn next time! Alternatively, carpool with a couple of girlfriends and enjoy a good gossip on the way. 6. Always bring reusable totes to the store: A great tip is to bring along two or three reusable plastic containers, too. You can save on time, money, and extra packaging at the deli/bakery counter. Just have them weigh your salami or cheese and get them to put it straight into your container. 7. Save your produce bags: Save those flimsy produce bags to bring along to your next shop. That way, you'll save time and fossil fuel.

What do doctors do to treat their own pain? As a board-certified internist who has been in practice for over 13 years, I spend much of my time attempting to alleviate the pain and suffering of my patients. As a clinician, one of the biggest challenges I face is helping my patients deal with musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes—those all-too-common, yet frequently debilitating ailments caused by bad backs, pinched nerves, arthritis, and the like. Unfortunately, much of what I have to offer my patients boils down to the following: take a pain pill, stretch if you can, wait, and hope for the best. After a failed trial of “conservative” therapy a call might go out to the orthopedic surgeon for assistance; a truly satisfactory result is not common. The simple fact is that physicians are not well trained to deal with musculoskeletal pain, and patients can suffer as a result. Thankfully, my views on this topic have been turned completely upside down since I havepersonally discovered Dr. Jonathan Donath’s outstanding practice. After beginning a vigorous exercise regimen I started to experience awful neck and upper back pain, accompanied by numbness and tingling down my left arm and fingers. For weeks I tried to nurse the pain with non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, but the pain persisted and got to the point that I was almost unable to work, sleep, or most importantly, play guitar. I wasliterally in tears from the excruciating pain. A neurosurgeon diagnosed a herniated disc and pinched nerve in my neck and offered to decompress it with an operation. In desperation I called Dr. Donath instead. My visit to Dr. Donath’s office was an outstanding experience. He spent about an hour with me and combined multiple modalities to fix the herniated disc in my neck: deep massage, active release techniques, traditional manipulation, cold therapy, and finally spinal decompression. After that first hour with Dr. Donath my pain had decreased from a 10/10 down to a manageable 4/10, and I was able to comfortably move my head and neck. That very night I was able to play guitar again. Two days later I went back for another series of treatments and the pain decreased even further. After about five days the pain was absolutely gone. Unbelievable! Since then he has used the same wonderful techniques to help me overcome painful bouts of sciatica as well. My own patients and family members have become “believers” in Dr. Donath’s abilities as well--- the results he achieves are real and lasting. He is my go to guy for the majority of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes that I now realize are truly treatable. Dr. Robert Sidlow MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine
I am a pediatrician and in my work, I have to bend down a lot and I’m constantly lifting kids. I usually have one to three bad flare ups of low back pain every year. When my back would "go out", I could barely walk to the bathroom and would have to lie down in bed for a few days. I have tried everything: doing nothing and "toughing it out", muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, and even painful steroid injections. Nothing worked. When I moved to Westchester, I met Dr. Jonathan Donath. In just a couple of sessions with Dr. Donath, the pain completely disappeared. If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have believed it. During my last flare up, I was expecting to be on my back for 2-3 days and in pain for 2 weeks. Instead, after one session with Dr. Donath, I was able to walk; two more sessions and I was fine. I could walk, bend down and I had almost no pain. Since that last back episode, Dr. Donath has helped me with my tendonitis in my right hand and with my chronic knee problems. I recommend Dr. Donath to everyone with back, muscle or joint pain. Even if you have not had relief with other treatments and other Chiropractors, give Dr. Donath a chance. I did and he changed my life. Eugene Dinkevich MD, Mount Vernon, NY It’s my great pleasure to write about Westchester Spinal Decompression Center. I really don’t have words to express my feelings about the care I got in last 3 months. I was almost handicapped, living with terrible pain all the time, crippling my day to day life. I am a medical doctor and work in a hospital with all sorts of amazing physicians, but after seeing a physical therapist, getting epidural steroids injections, many orthopedists and neurosurgeons, finally my destination lead me to see Dr Jonathan Donath. With great skepticism, I lied down for spinal decompression therapy. It was unbelievable that after only two initial sessions, my radiating pain down my leg had almost disappeared. Gradually, I started getting better, started doing exercises that they gave me midway through the treatment. Now, I am doing all my daily activities without any pain. I highly recommend Dr Jonathan and his colleague Dr Kavita for any problems related to the musculoskeletal system, you will definitely feel at home and will get better.
