A bit of Gold Rush history

O

n the South Fork of the American River by Highway 49 is the little town that started it all.

Coloma gets its name from a nearby Southern Maidu village called Culloma.

It is most famous as the site of the 1848 California gold discovery

by James Wilson Marshall when he picked up a few flakes of gold from the tailrace of Sutter’s Mill, which he had built.

For the first few years after the famed discovery of gold, Coloma was where everyone headed. They might end up somewhere else but Coloma, “Sutter’s Mill” or just “The Mill” was their original destination.

Democrat file photo

This is the newest replica of Sutter’s Mill, where James Marshall found glittering gold. Explore the site and more at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma.

e

The town rapidly grew as it added hotels, stores, saloons and even a post office but when the gold became more difficult to find, miners left for other places and Coloma became almost a ghost town. Fortunately the state of California was able to purchase much of the land and buildings and create Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park.

In 1890 Marshall was buried on a hill above the park.

An arm on the statue of him points to the place where he found the gold.

Did you know?

Sutter did not own the land on which the mill was built, although he tried to get the U.S. Government to grant it to him. In spite of that in December 1848, for $6,000 in cash and promises, Sutter sold his share in the mill and the land to two men. In partnership with Marshall they would complete the sawmill in 1849 and use it to saw lumber until around 1853.

Drug free treatment aVailable. aCt now We are one of 280 clinics nationwide that specialize in the treatment of neuropathy What Causes It?

Healthy Nerve

Healthy Blood Vessels

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing Diseased Blood Vessels weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

Nerves Shrivel when Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and Figure 1 feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may cause the nerves to degenerate.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.

1

What is the underlying cause?

2

How much nerve damage has been sustained?

3

How much treatment will your condition require?

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals

1

Increase Blow flow

2

Stimulate small fiber nerves

3

Decrease brain based pain

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps.

I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Livie Nails and Spa

he new owners of Placerville’s Livie Nails and Spa, Vy Kha and her mother, have taken pampering to new heights with their numerous nail sections and expanded offerings. If you are looking for gel manicure options, choose from dipping powders to new acrylics from brands such as Wave and BND. An extensive array of colors is available to fit any style or mood.

Although Livie provides four pedicure selections, even the most basic pedicure will leave you feeling blissful. All pedicures include a sea salt scrub, pumice scrub and massage but if you’re looking for some extra special luxury, the Royal Pedi will have you melting in your chair. From the cucumber exfoliation to the detoxifying masque and hot stone massage, you’ll be delightfully relaxed and rejuvenated.

Offered with all pedicures, or a la carte, is a reflexology 12

service which derives from a theory that the entire body, including organs, glands and body parts, have reflex points located on your feet. Through applied pressure, reflexology can release blockages and rebalance your entire body.

And if that’s not enough, Livie Nails and Spa provides a full wax bar, including eyebrows, lip, Brazilian, bikini or even a full body wax. With experienced technicians, you’ll feel like new in no time.

ichele Adams is quick to say, “I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus,” but it took her being hit by a car for her thyroid disease to finally be diagnosed.

Adams has always been an active person, but for a few years, she had felt tired and had a constant tightness in her throat. She was diagnosed with post-nasal drip but did not feel relief after a year of treatment.

“I thought this exhaustion, hoarse voice and lump in my throat were just my new normal,” Adams said. “I’d accepted it, and I shouldn’t have.”

During this time, Adams went on a bike ride in northeastern New Jersey — something she still does

The incident resulted in an MRI scan. Adams was not seriously injured, but doctors noticed something unexpected. The scan revealed nodules in her lower neck, which suggested thyroid disease.

“I now realize I had symptoms of a thyroid condition for years,” Adams said. “I’d had it up to here with not feeling like myself. Once I had the MRI results, I knew to seek out a thyroid expert, and I found an endocrinologist.”

Continued from 13

disease, but more than half of Americans with thyroid disease are unaware, according to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). This lack of awareness can endanger a person’s health and well-being.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located low in the front of the neck below the Adam’s apple. It produces thyroid hormones that influence almost every cell, tissue and organ in the human body.

Common signs of thyroid diseases • Unexplained changes in weight • Depression, anxiety or feelings of irritability • Changes in memory or ability to concentrate • Joint or muscle pain or weakness • Fatigue or trouble sleeping • Fast or irregular heartbeat • Irregular menstrual periods Cheryl Rosenfeld, D.O., is a thyroid expert and AACE member. Rosenfeld is also the physician who treated Adams’ thyroid disease.

“If the thyroid does not function correctly, it can affect every possible aspect of a person’s life,” Rosenfeld said.

“Remember that thyroid conditions can cause changes in mental health, including depression. I’ve also spoken to patients who’ve experienced an inability to concentrate, which seriously affected their performance at work.”

Several disorders can arise if the thyroid produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or not enough (hypothyroidism).

Other thyroid diseases • Nodules • Thyroid cancer • Graves’ disease • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis • Thyroid eye disease Undiagnosed thyroid issues can also place a person at increased risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, infertility and other serious conditions.

What to do if you are ‘up to here’ with not feeling like yourself “Once I was placed on treatment for Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, my life changed completely,” Adams said.

“My throat is no longer sore, and I’m able to go out with my family or spend time at the gym without feeling completely drained of energy.”

The first step to ensure your thyroid gland functions properly is to speak with a health care provider about your symptoms and whether a thyroid test is needed.

An endocrinologist is a specially trained doctor who is qualified to diagnose and treat hormone-related diseases and conditions, including thyroid cancer and all other diseases related to the thyroid gland.

smart.

ne of the great myths of healthy eating is that it’s expensive. Making healthier choices can actually save you money when you know how to shop

To help encourage healthier communities, the American Heart Association and Aramark have simple tips to keep in mind as you seek out affordable, nutritious and tasty food options for your family: Shop with a plan in mind. Taking a list to the store helps limit impulse purchases, but it’s OK to make smart swaps while shopping if items you’d normally use are on sale.

Consider your fruit and veggie options. Locally grown, seasonal fruits and vegetables are often reasonably priced for recipes like this Mediterranean Chicken and Grain Bowl. Canned and frozen options, meanwhile, can be just as

Cook once, eat twice. Choose recipes that make enough food to enjoy fresh for one meal and as leftovers later, such as this four-serving Curry-Spiced Tofu with Asian Vegetables.

Buy in bulk. Look for items with long shelf lives like whole grains and non-perishables such as canned beans and vegetables.

Focus on dishes with limited, common ingredients. They are easy to prepare and allow you to avoid purchasing items like rarely used spices.

Develop a budget. Assess your current food expenses each week. Multiply by the number of weeks that month to find your monthly food budget and determine if this fits with your other monthly expenses.
