mtdemocrat.com Mountain Democrat Monday, September 12, 2022 3 FINALLY, Medicare & Most Insurance Companies Pay for Treatment of Neuropathy! CALL NOW 530-622-3536 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! The treatment to increase blood ow 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 ow. 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 rst 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 In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined. Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals What is underlyingthecause?1 How much nerve damage has been sustained?2 How much treatment will your condition require?3 BlowIncreaseow1 Stimulate small ber nerves2 Decrease brain based pain3 Healthy Blood Vessels Diseased Blood Vessels Nerves Shrivel when Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear Figure 1 Healthy NervePeripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood ow 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 ow 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. NEUROPATHY IS A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION! DRUG FREE TREATMENT AVAILABLE. ACT NOW We are one of 280 clinics nationwide that specialize in the treatment of neuropathy Drug Free Treatment Method What Causes It?

David created many friendships, he had so many amazing stories to tell. Those chosen friends would be the only ones who know the shenanigans they had done to create one-of-a-kind memories. David had many hobbies, from basketball during his youth to RC cars, model trains and saltwater aquariums, as an adult to Harley Davison and restoring classic cars. David had big dreams for his future, he was excited to pick up old hobbies. David collected several classic cars throughout his lifetime. David’s last project is a 1965 Pontiac GTO, which he had almost completed. His family will ﬁnish restoring this project and keep and cherish in his memory.

freedom of the press as well as the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances — six rights in one amendment.TheFourth Amendment is in the news and worth quoting directly: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”I’dlike to close with another Hamilton quote that holds as true today as it did in the 18th century: “It is a false calculation, that the people of this country can ever be ultimately deceived.” — “Camillus,” No. 9 draft in Hamilton’s hand, 1795

“Were the people of America with one voice to ask: ‘What shall we do to perpetuate our liberties and secure out happiness?’ The answer would be: GOVERN WELL, and you have nothing to fear either from internal disaffection or external hostility. Abuse not the power you possess, and you need never apprehend its diminution or loss. But if you make a wanton use of it; if you furnish another example that despotism may debase the government of many as well as the few, you, like all others have acted the same part, will experience that licentiousness is the forerunner of slavery …” — A letter from Phocion (Alexander Hamilton) to the Considerate Citizens of New York

The Articles of Confederation depended upon the generosity of the states to fund the army. Any law required near unanimity of the states.

Abortion, on the other hand, has nothing to do with reproductive rights. It is the willful act of killing a human fetus. If the willful killing of that same fetus is committed an hour after birth it would be considered murder. In fact, it would be considered first-degree murder because it was planned.Pleasedo not confuse legal reproductive rights with abortion.

Now the environmental purists make excuses for SriMotherLanka.Jones said it’s “ridiculous to single out (the fertilizer ban) as the ‘underlying’ cause, as Shellenberger did.” Others say that Sri Lanka just needed time to adjust to organic farming.

“You might be able to become poorer over five or 10 years, rather than over six months,” replies Shellenberger. “But the result will be the same.”

This was exposed by Zuckerberg recently when he admitted to Facebook censoring the Hunter Biden laptop corruption story at the behest of the FBI in order to sway the election to Biden.

that the climate “crisis” demands countries make all sorts of sacrifices, like cutting nitrogen waste.

REDITOR:epublican alarms about deficit spending and inflation reflect the party’s limitless capacity for hypocrisy. The GOP opposes the Build Back Better Act because it would cost $3.5 trillion and “bankrupt the country” — conveniently forgetting the qualifier: “$3.5 trillion spread over 10 years.” Mind you, it’s the same GOP that voted for $9.1 trillion Trump and Bush II tax cuts, spread over only one year.

In 2003 VP Dick Cheney urged GOP legislators to approve a $6.2 trillion tax cut, declaring: “Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter.” Reagan raised the national debt 186%, behind only FDR and Woodrow Wilson, who fought two world wars. Dubya raised the debt 101% while Obama raised it 74%. Under Reaganomics, the U.S. changed from being a creditor nation to a debtor one. Pres. George H.W. Bush called Reaganomics “Voodoo Economics” for good reason.

hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ….”

Much of that waste comes from synthetic fertilizer, so activists applauded when Sri Lanka’s government decided to become the first country to really take their advice. Sri Lanka banned all synthetic fertilizers.

Equally inspiring is the preamble to the Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States ofOneAmerica.”ofthe most complex amendments to the Constitution is the First Amendment.

contributor to deficits is not welfare (defined by the GOP as Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare), but the military. DoD’s 2022 budget is $770 billion. Factoring no increases over the next 10 years (a fool’s dream), in 2032 DoD will spend $7.7 trillion, twice the cost of BBB. Pentagon budgets benefit few people beyond the military/industrial complex, while the BBB Act would benefit society at large.

Kevin Kiley, running to replace McClintock, wants to abolish Social Security, Medicare and Obamacar, and the “savings” given to the Pentagon and tax cuts for the billionaire class.

FINALLY, Medicare & Most Insurance Companies Pay for Treatment of Neuropathy! CALL NOW 530-622-3536 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! The treatment to increase blood ow 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 ow. 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 rst 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 In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined. Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals What is underlyingthecause?1 How much nerve damage has been sustained?2 How much treatment will your condition require?3 BlowIncreaseow1 Stimulate small ber nerves2 Decrease brain based pain3 Healthy Blood Vessels Diseased Blood Vessels Nerves Shrivel when Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear Figure 1 Healthy NervePeripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood ow 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 ow 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. NEUROPATHY IS A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION!

“This is so much better,” Contreras added, gesturing to the new, more open space. “People are thrilled.”

On that first distribution day, volunteers cheerily unpacked food donations and easily organized them without bumping into one another — a common occurrence in the old pantry space. In the front area others waited with full wagons. And more improvements are in the works. In the storage area where the dry goods are kept there are plans to create a driveway leading up to the roll-up door, making unloading much easier.

Over the course of the renovation volunteers from the church and outside community rolled up their sleeves to help, painting the improved facility from floor to ceiling, building the walk-refrigerator, completing electrical work and roofing upgrades as well as installing a new wall and roll-up door.

El Dorado County data suggests that nearly 13% of the county’s approximately 200,000 residents are food insecure. Placerville Seventh-day Adventist Church and community volunteers have been serving food-

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ideally, you’ll identify a conflu ence of interests early on in a relationship. Where needs match up, what is given and received makes sense to both parties. If this isn’t happening naturally, don’t worry, just focus on what’s working.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your relationship with oth ers is an extension of your relationship to yourself. As you nurture your No. 1 connection, other relationships blossom, including those of a platonic, romantic or business nature.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). However much you enjoy the company of certain people, being around them can still seem like work. Why do you think this is? If you’re willing to look for it, there’s a nugget of self-knowledge at the heart of this phenomenon.
