Haunted House raises money for a good cause By Debra Kelly
COURIER CORRESPONDENT
When it comes to the typical fundraisers, the STARRC Raving Mad House isn’t it. In the true spirit of the Halloween season, it promises all the fun terror that goes along with haunted houses, ghostly apparitions, and more than a few knifewielding madmen. Even the most stubbornly unflappable person won’t make it through the haunted house without their heart missing a few beats, and not only is it a fun time for adults, children and entire families, but it’s all for a good cause. “All proceeds go directly to the church,”
ghoulish. Located on the corner of Gierlach and Crocker, dedicated and hard-working volunteers have put in some long hours to turn the St. Andrews Church Building #1 into one of the area’s most fun haunted houses. It might seem an odd juxtaposition, a haunted house and a church, but part of the attraction of the STARRC Raving Mad House is that it’s not your typical fundraiser. There’s nothing typical about it, in fact, and that’s what keeps people coming back year after year. All proceeds go directly to the church.

The haunted house is being enough to be scary for those who want a frightfilled evening, but younger visitors don’t have to be afraid if they don’t want to. Many of the scares come from actors who understand that it might be a little much for younger visitors, and respect that everyone’s looking for a little something different in their haunted house

New Non-Surgical Protocol For Neuropathy What is Neuropathy? Neuropathy is a collection of disorders that occurs when nerves of the peripheral nervous system are damaged. The condition is generally referred to as peripheral neuropathy. In the United States, over 20 million people suffer from peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can be brought on by a number of different causes including diabetes, back problems, and certain drugs. Damaged nerves send incorrect signals to the brain causing scattered messages resulting in numbness, burning, tingling, and sharp pain sensations that are usually felt in the feet, legs, hands or arms. Symptoms associated with the motor portion of the nerve may also include muscle weakness, cramping and spasms as well as a lack of coordination and poor balance.
Traditional Treatments: Over the years, neuropathy treatments in general have had poor results at best. Many medications are used that have significant side effects and poor outcomes. Only recently have we had a promising breakthrough to help reduce the symptoms of neuropathy with lasting results.
Are you Experiencing Pins & Needles? Numbness and Tingling? Pain or Burning in your Feet or Hands? New Non-Surgical Protocol for Neuropathy: A new development in Class IV laser technology called Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has been shown to improve the function of the blood vessels that feed the nerves by sending radiant infrared energy deep into the walls of the blood vessels and tissues that surround the injured nerves. This improves the elasticity and function of the blood vessels. As the blood vessels become healthier, the nerves begin to thrive. Additionally, Electroanalgesic Treatment is used to reduce the ability of the affected nerves to transmit pain signals and promote healing by means of the depolarization effects on the nerve cells. This computer-assisted treatment offers exemplary patient success in the treatment of PAIN, without piercing the skin. Moreover, therapies including Whole Body Vibration and Hydromassage are designed to improve circulation, strength and balance.
