HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Have you ever considered that it could help you?

Did you recently hear about the toddler whose brain damage was reversed by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy after nearly drowning? Or the stroke patient who lost mobility and was able to regain it again with HBOT. Or maybe you heard of the autistic child that started speaking for the first time in 14 years? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment to enhance the body’s natural healing process by breathing 100% Oxygen in a total body chamber with controlled atmospheric pressure. First it removes swelling or edema and then it kills anaerobic bacteria and helps detoxify your body. Most impressively it mobilizes your stem cells to repair body damage naturally. A Partial List of Conditions That We See:

• Multiple Sclerosis • Autism Stroke • Chronic Fatigue • Cerebral Palsy • • Fibromyalgia • TBI • Diabetes • Arthritis

We hope to create inspirational gifts ideas to help inspire and elevate the spirit at times of struggle or need. And for those moments when life is good we help you celebrate with gifts that inspire. With angels guiding us we give our creativity and personal touch to each occasion.

EarthAngel_Gifts@Yahoo.com Benjamin Daniel Hall EarthAngelGifts.com Owner / Teacher / Tarot Medium

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has helped millions of people.

Health begins from the inside, out!

News Nature’s Food Patch Teams Up with HEP and Dunedin Cares to Feed Those in Need This Holiday Season Your local and organic natural foods grocer, Nature’s Food Patch Market & Café in Clearwater and Downtown Dunedin, is collecting healthy foods to donate to families in need from through December 31st. Customers simply grab and purchase a pre-packaged $10 bag of natural and healthy food. Nature’s Food Patch will donate it directly to the corresponding charity. All donations from their Clearwater store will go to Homeless Empowerment Program (HEP) and all donations from their Dunedin location will go to Dunedin Cares Food Pantry. Items donated are foods that the charities are in the most need of during the holiday season, such as canned goods, pastas and holiday foods. Last year, The Patch and its customers collected over $12,000 worth of food to the two charities. In addition to customer donations, Nature’s Food Patch will give their November and December Ban the Bag. Bring Your Own! donation to the charities. The Patch began this campaign on Earth Day of 2008. Since that time, they no longer use plastic shopping bags in their stores. To encourage customers to bring their own re-usable bags for groceries, they offer a 5¢ donation per bag to a different charitable organization each month.

Tis the Season to be..

Well, it is that time of year again.

Which way will you choose…Stressville or Enjoyville? Sounds a little different, doesn’t it? This is the time of joy, miracles, laughter, family, friends and special events. When did things get so stressful during this miraculous time of year? If we look at the traditions from religion to spirituality, both are about miracles, forgiveness, unconditional love and more. Whether you come from the belief system of GD, Jesus, Buddha or others, it is all the same …we all want the same…peace on earth, good will towards all living creatures!! Remember the song, Love Makes the World go Around? Well, that might be the older generation….. How about the song, Where is the Love? We all want it! What will you do to create it? It seems that certain times of the year these themes make it to the fore front. However, has the true meaning of this miraculous time lost its true meaning? I remember growing up when nothing was put on display until the day after Thanksgiving. It seemed that the world transformed into this exciting time with beautiful decorations everywhere. People gathered together for another memory to embrace in our hearts during this special time. Today, decorations are out before October and the commercial ads are coming at you from all directions. Today there is so much pressure on getting the latest and biggest gifts. When I was raising my kids, I remember the lines we stood in for the latest toys. It was even astonishing to see people getting ugly to get THAT one hottest item. What is being displayed? However, over the years and experiences in life, birth and death, I have come to the realization what really counts is being together. If you have ever lost someone close to you, what do you remember? Those special events that you can always go back into your heart to embrace their spirit. Please do not misunderstand, gifts are wonderful to give and receive, it is the value one puts on them. There is no right or wrong! This is an opportunity to go within and ask yourself what is important. Life experiences will shape what is important. Whatever one chooses, let it make your heart sing and bring peace from the inside-out !

Colon Hydrotherapy • Body Work • Life Coaching Contact us today and start living a healthier life! Our Colon Hydrotherapy approach is very unique because our technique integrates the colon with other body systems on a level of mind, body, and spirit.

Festival of Light This time of year

carries a spirit and magic that can be felt by the both the young and old alike. It is a living spirit of love and generosity, which is needed to see our people through dark times. As we get closer to the winter solstice, it is indeed a spirit that is welcomed. For this darkness is coaxial to light and brings about the search within to find hope. Every culture has a way of celebrating this time of seasonal change. Before this time of year was associated with Christianity, it was celebrated differently by many ancient communities. It was Pope Julius the first who designated December 25th as the birth of Jesus Christ. Many modern Christmas customs are traditions that survived the Christianization of this time of year. The Christmas ham was taken from the Norse tradition of the yule boar. Sonargǫltr or Sónargǫltr was a boar sacrificed for yule, which men would make oaths upon. Other customs such as mistletoe, wreaths, and trees brought into the home were all early pagan practices. Odin flying his eightlegged horse Slepnir, was replaced by

Santa Claus and his eight reindeer. From Saxon wassailing, Bacchus ivy, to the elves rooted in Norse Alfhiemr, this time of year brings the color and traditions from many ancient places.

Fire and Light

The ancient Norse would burn a yule log for as many as 12 days and would feast until it was used completely. The Romans celebrated Saturnalia, dedicated to Saturn, the god of time, agriculture and liberation. Evergreens and winter berries were used to accent the homes and remind all that light persisted in dark times. Welcoming

the sun’s return during this time of year was a tradition of the greatest ancient power around 500 BC, the Persian Empire. The Roman army helped spread Persian Mithraism, a mysterious cult of men who worshiped the sun as Mithra with complicated initiations, a strict hierarchy of power, and absolute loyalty to the ruler. Mithra followers celebrated December 25th, when the sun once again had strength. The priests of Mithra, called Magi, studied the stars for signs (We know this story). Emperor Constantine banned the feast of Saturnalia but failed to extinguish it Tampa Bay Wellness

Integrative and Functional Medicine completely. The Catholic church could not remove the celebration of Saturnalia and so co-opted it to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The echoes of this oftenunruly tradition would come to England until banned in the year 1652. But the festive seasons popularity remained, the people demanded a Christmas to celebrate and so the feast was brought back. Charles II was restored to the throne, with him came the return of the holiday. Regardless of how it was celebrated, this time of year taught people to have hope for the coming light, often by using candles, flames and worship to call the suns return. The meaning and lessons of solstice are still important today. As we headed into October 2019, there were record cold temperatures and early snow. There were 1204 records on Halloween for cold temps and as of November 4th, 2019 there were 7,112 all time low temperature records in the U.S. within 30 days. We have seen record precipitation and frost resulting in the loss of soybean and other harvests in several states. Many feed crops for livestock have been lost worldwide. In Australia, they began to cull their breeding cow stock due to drought. In Europe, the agricultural commissioner reports a loss of 1000 farms a day because of these cold and hard conditions. Truly, Food security and supply is facing a challenge. We are at a solar minimum, which results in fewer sunspots. With the solar minimum comes the shortage of crops, and the unrest of the people. We enter the winter solstice on December 21st. It is the longest night of the year, yet a step toward the gradual return of the sun. With the reality of crop losses and colder temperatures impacting food production, the thankfulness for our harvest and the hope for the sun has become an important prayer on the lips of many. I have been celebrating the winter solstice for many years, my children are accustomed to the celebration. Our tradition is simple and very beautiful. I invite you to create a celebration of your own for solstice this year, here are a few things I do that might help get you started. PHONE: 813-501-4894

A yearly Festival of Light • First, branches of evergreens and

holly are gathered to make head wreaths. We bring in pinecones and symbols of nature that survive the cold winter. • We place candles all over the kitchen table once the sun has gone down. Bells, pots and pans are placed around the table, with wooden spoons to bang with. • All the lights are turned off in the house, while music plays in the background. • We sit in the dark, as I tell stories. The legend of the holly and oak king is a classic story for solstice, teaching the importance of light, hope, and the usefulness of the dark. We each say what we are thankful for. • Everyone picks up a bell or pot to make noise with, ringing in the return of light. As they begin to ring the bells and bang the pots, the many candles spread across the table are lit. • Everyone around the table helps place the candles throughout the house. The Christmas tree and other Christmas lights are lit, and the house becomes a festival of light carrying the torch of ancient traditions forward. - Simple gifts are exchanged and we feast all night enjoying home and hearth, and the promise of the returning sun. Rituals and traditions make the ordinary sacred, until we finally begin to see that the physical world itself is an extension of the great mystery. Life itself is spiritual, from our food to our friends. The great many things we should be thankful for are often seen clearly when we stand in the dark. It is then that we see the light.

Open Your Heart to Love, Joy & Creativity!

Creative power has the ability for new depths &

insights to appear and for old problems to find new solutions. Creative expression has the potential to bring the darkness to light, the unconscious to consciousness and the unknown into sight. The creative process allows an awareness of knowing and a deeper beingness to move. All you have to do is get out of your own way, allow your natural ebb, and rhythm flow, and let creativity soar! Expressing yourself creatively can bring renewal and regeneration through dance, movement, music, visual arts, clay, baking, acting, and writing, cooking, building, inventing, gardening and living. Sing your song, dance your dance, paint your paintings and bake your pies!! Creativity can transform pain and assist in the healing of traumatic events. Creativity gives you a renewed strength and offers a

unique way to give voice to difficult life experiences. The creative process opens the way for unconscious messages, and a new seeing of conscious awareness to take shape and have form. Being creative is our natural impulse as human beings. Throughout history, art tells the human story in cave paintings from the beginning of time. Creative expression and art can guide you to release stress during the holiday season. Art and creativity have the ability to calm the nervous system. Expressing yourself nonverbally can help you move away from your thoughts to see a visual expression and a new perspective of a situation. Being focused on creating, your attention shifts away from personal issues, worries and concerns. When your attention has shifted, your nervous system can begin to regulate from holiday stress. When this happens, you have more access to the rest of your brain, emotions, thoughts, feelings, and a calm way of being. Staying focused on love and joy during the holidays and engaging in the creative process, allows magic to happen. Open your heart to love, joy and creativity and enjoy taking fun, creative steps throughout the holiday season. Here are some creative ways to celebrate love and joy during the holiday season: Make holiday gifts is fun and people appreciate your time in creating them! Mix and match the old traditions with something new. Bake new holiday recipes for cookies, cakes, fudge, breads and desserts. Read holiday magazines and books full of crafty ideas for gifts. Color and scribble with your nondominant hand or with your eyes closed with your friends and family. Discover the pictures, shapes and figures that you see in your scribble! Develop the image with other colors and materials. Play games, make and build things, with children, family and friends. Create a holiday collage with magazines, to achieve your holiday gifts and goals. The intention of the holiday season is to share love, joy, giving and receiving and connecting with family and friends. Take time to nurture you. Enjoy creating in love and joy with family and friends!

We couldn’t have guessed that a TV could be Smart and that people could actually see us, (spy) through that TV! Technology has brought with it a convenience that now no one wants to live without! Unfortunately, this technology has it’s dangers and if we don’t pay attention to those dangers, we will be effected in ways that will dramatically and negatively effect our health. Wireless devices like cell phones, smart TV’s, computers, laptops, cordless phones, blue tooth devices, smart meters on your home and your beloved microwave ovens are slowly but surly damaging our DNA! There are many researchers around the world that have studied the effects of these harmful EMF’s and have been sounding the alarm but few government agencies or technological companies are listening to their warnings! We as a human race have been bombarded by thousands of man made chemicals that have been sprayed on our foods, injected into our livestock and given to us through vaccines. This has put a heavy burden on our bodies and pushed them to the point of rapid aging and disease. The radiation from your cell phone has the power to vibrate molecules in the human body and alter the the chemical bonds that hold molecules together damaging the cells and causing them to divide and misbehave. The Smart Meters are literally creating an electromagnetic smog and with televisions, radios Wi-Fi’s and cordless phone frequencies we are literally being microwaved. All of this EMF smog is causing health problems because radiation has cumulative effects on people and animals. Some will notice these effects very quickly, like the elderly and those who’s health is already compromised, but others may not notice the damaging effects for some time. Symptoms like Tinnitus, vertigo, blurred vision, fatigue, nose bleeds, skin rashes, numbness, muscle pain, headaches, insomnia, autism, alzheimer’s, cancer, asthma, memory loss, confusion, sleep disorders, irritability, aggression, heart palpitations and shortness of breath are just a few possible physical side effects that can be attributed to EMF poisoning. I myself had an extreme reaction after the power company put a Smart Meter on my house. I did not have wireless installed in my house because I had already been researching on the dangers of different radiations and frequency and having had cancer many years prior, did not want to put myself at risk anymore than necessary. Within days of my Smart Meter being installed I woke up feeling horrible. I literally felt like gravity was pushing my body down to the ground. I was nauseous and dizzy and felt like I was about to pass out! I literally had to crawl to the other side of the house to my home office where I have my microscope. I took a blood sample and my worse fears were revealed. All of my blood cells had taken a form of Rouleau. This is where the blood cells stack together like coins, one on top of another. Where cells stick together like that, they can no longer carry the oxygen molecules nor can they expel acid waste products. I was being poisoned and suffocated by this heavy EMF exposure! Do you or someone you know have new or unexplained health issues? Did it coincide with the

Electromagnetic Fields! installation of a smart meter, TV or smart appliance? As a Nutritional Microscopist, I understand how important it is for the cells of the body to have a healthy membrane. EMF radiations have the ability to alter our cells functions by damaging the integrity of the outer membrane. We are electrical humans and the electrical energy is what allows the nutritional particles to enter the cell and the waste products to be released so that our cells function as they should to keep us healthy. Unhealthy EMF’s alter this natural activity by hindering proper flow of this healthy communication within the body. So how can you help to protect yourself from these damaging EMF’s? There are many protective products on the market now. First, if you don’t have a Smart Meter on your house, Secure a wire cage around it so the power company can’t replace it with the smart meter. If you already have one on your house you can make or buy a wire box to put around it to help block some of the radiation. Unplug and remove the microwave! Use salt rocks and other healthy mineral rocks around your house to ease the burden on your body. Wear radiation devices on your body and put protective screens on your computers and laptops. You can now buy phone cases that block cell phone radiation. Do not keep electronics in your bedroom! This is so important because your body heals at night when you sleep and if you have electronics or cell phones within 20 feet of your bed, your body will not fall into the deepest REM sleep and you will not heal during the night as you are suppose to. Last but not least, go back to hard wire in your home. Wireless is a luxury that is killing us one cell at a time. Purchase a long Ethernet cable if you need to use your laptop in other rooms away from your router. One more VERY IMPORTANT suggestion. Don’t let children use these devices for hours on end. Long term exposure is very dangerous for their developing brain and can also cause them to become sterile. Use protection on all your electronic devices. I also recommend using the Bemer Mat to help regulate your bodies frequencies and insure your cells get the oxygen they need to function as they are designed to do There is so much more to learn about this enveloping danger of EMF’s. If you would like to see the effects of EMF’s on your body, you can contact us at LALSPA.com and schedule a private consultation. One of my favorite books on the subject is EMF Freedom by Elizabeth Plourde Ph.D. I will be adding more information on the dangers of Electromagnetic Fields soon. Until then, take care and may God give you wisdom and health.

Too often we rush to a conclusion about others that separates us from a deeper part of ourselves.

The Deeper Meaning of Compassion

“When we generate compassion for the difficult people in our lives, we get to see our prejudices and aversions even more clearly. It can feel completely unreasonable to make compassionate a wish for these irritating, belligerent people. To wish that those we dislike and fear would not suffer can feel like too big a leap. This is a good time to remember that when we harden our hearts against anyone, we hurt our selves.” ~ Pema Chodron

any years ago I heard one of my teachers tell this story about empathy (an emotion) and compassion (an action motivated by that emotion). In these difficult times I think it’s a great reminder for all of us. Once upon a time, while swimming along a bottom of the lake, a school of fish paused to look up to see what all the commotion was about. What they saw above them was a single fish racing, jumping, and skipping in and out of the water. Then one fish in the school turned to another and said, “Look at that jerk . . . who does he think he is anyway, just dancing and skipping across the lake! What a show off . . . he is so weird; it’s no wonder he is all alone out there.” Of course, what they didn’t see was the lure and barbed hook that was painfully embedded inside the mouth of the fish as he fought and pulled with every ounce of energy he had against the near invisible line which the fisherman was quickly reeling in. At times we can be just like the school of fish in this little parable. Life is like one big lake in which we are all swimming and sometimes someone “hooks” our attention with their peculiar or outrageous behavior and we rush to judgment. We tend to make assumptions and reach a conclusion based on that judgment and then we build a case to support it. Without really knowing what possible pain might be going on inside that person’s mind or body, too often we say (or think), “Oh, look at that ‘#*?&!%#’, acting so moody and glum,” or, “What a bum, he should just get a job,” or, “What a chip he has on his shoulder . . . he is really out of touch with reality.” While all the time, this person may be doing the best he can to simply make it through the day. It is quite impossible for us to know what others are going through. It’s interesting to note that don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements seem to fit in here perfectly: “Be impeccable in your word . . . Don’t take anything personally . . . Never make assumptions, and . . . Always do your best.” The sad truth is, we often judge our loved ones even more

critically than strangers. It is a curious thing, isn’t it? Marcus Aurelius wrote, “If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment about them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.” Perhaps compassion and non-judgment would be an easier conclusion at which to arrive if we could remember that every person in our experience is serving as a perfect mirror that reflects back to us some aspect of our own character we may not choose to or can’t see in ourselves. Many people avoid empathy and compassion, not because they are callous, but because of their own fear of the pain they see in others—it reminds them of their own vulnerability. In its purest form the word compassion means “acting together with feeling.” This means that when we enter into compassion with empathy we heal all sense of separation from one another and we allow ourselves, to the best of our ability, to enter into the other’s pain—not to fix it or heal it, or even share in it, but simply to be there and allow the healing energy of our presence say, “You are not alone—I am with you.” I believe this is what every person in pain, be it physical or emotional pain, truly longs for—to know they are not alone. Spiritually we are never alone because we are all one with the One. Perhaps it’s time to demonstrate that more fully in our lives. The only prerequisite for compassion is non-judgment and a willingness to share sacred space with another, if only for a few cherished moments. Empathy and compassion heal in ways that medicine and empty words never will—at the level of the soul Self. This is an amazing gift we can bring into every relationship we shall ever have, from our most intimate others to the stranger across town. Let today be a day when you deepen your empathy and compassion and lessen your judgments. Your presence on this planet will make a difference if you can do this one simple thing. You matter.

DECEMBER 2019

BY ALUNA MICHAELS, M.A. ARIES March 21st – April 19th You’re beginning a career high point of a 12 year cycle! Projects or goals you’ve been painstakingly moving toward (especially for the past two years) come to fruition. Keep working with meditation to visualize and feel your success and joy! Explore ideas about tithing to increase your prosperity. Also contemplate volunteering in areas that are deeply meaningful to you. In this way the Universe’s blessings that you’re receiving flow through you toward others and then allow for even more “good stuff” to pour into your life!

CANCER June 21st – July 22nd You can start an amazing, passionate relationship that is also intellectually stimulating! Be open to types of people you normally don’t “go for” — you can be pleasantly surprised. If partnered, issues between the two of you can be resolved with breakthrough solutions. It’s great to meditate together, or at least talk about spiritual or philosophical concepts to create a deeper bond. Health-wise, have fun being physical and don’t obsess about “exercising” — just have a good time enjoying your embodiment and delight in how powerful your body is!

TAURUS

LEO

April 20th – May 20th

July 23 – August 22

Open your mind to new ways of connecting with spirit. Your mind will be especially peaceful in meditation. You’ll also have waves of deep inner poise that flood you with gratitude. Trust your intuition, since you often see those ideas as “common sense”, but truly they are uncommon and divinely brilliant! Also, relationships will be sizzling and sexy! This can be from physical attraction, but also your capacity for intimate and healthy communication enhances the passion.

GEMINI May 21st– June 20th Like your Sag pals, it’s a time of abundance, so revel in the blessings that are coming to you! They can emotional and spiritual as well as financial. Meditate on forgiving old hurts so your heart and mind are fully open to receive everything life offers you now. Seek wise counsel about how to save/ invest money and how to pay off debts. Also, start health protocols designed for longevity and not just “quick fix” diets or whatever. If single, you can meet a great new love who’s very smart and funny!

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

Sept. 23rd – Oct. 22nd

Dec. 22nd – Jan. 19th

Holidays can be bumpy with family issues, but this year is healing and soothing. Meditation helps you feel compassion for them, and for yourself. It’s easy to bring up a positive memory for each person and see their divine self, no matter how covered up it seems to be. Extended family can even become “new friends”. You can also have amazing abundance! You might get a big bonus at work, or just unexpected income in other ways. Let love flow through you and you’ll have wonderful people and circumstances drawn into your orbit!

SCORPIO

Being healthy can be fun! Explore cool types of yoga, sports, breathing exercises, and the like. Experiment with various vegetables, spices and recipes. Ethnic foods could be especially exciting! Seeking out a great bodyworker can do wonders for your overall health. Repeat positive affirmations about your body. Praise is healing! You can also have a bonus at work, or get a new project/position that renews your enthusiasm.

October 23 to November 21 Energetic Mars stays in your sign, filling you with enthusiasm and passion! You won’t want to wait until January to treat your body well, since you feel good when you eat healthy. You can also start a new relationship. Make commitments to yourself to set fun goals, like traveling to a place you’ve craved going to and set a date! Jupiter’s change of signs helps you feel the energy of affirmations. You won’t just think them or say them. Manifesting your dreams is easy when you have a zest for life!

VIRGO

Jupiter moves into your sign for a 12 month stay! It’s the planet of abundance, joy, “good karma” and contentment. Meditate on allowing yourself to receive, since Jupiter wants to bring you gifts and to fulfill your wishes! Let go of the habit of feeling unworthy. Also set goals for the upcoming year. Stretch your imagination and write down “impossible” things! The Universe is full of amazing surprises and it’s your time to be blessed!

AQUARIUS Jan. 20th – Feb. 18th If your faith has been challenged, Jupiter’s shift of signs will help you re-connect with the beauty of the Universe. You’ll find new meaning in life and have a lifting of depression. Meditate on forgiveness for yourself, others or circumstances. Write gratitude lists and read them though out the day. Surround yourself with friends who cultivate positive thinking. You’ll also feel motivated when it comes to career and also with hobbies that you’re passionate about!

PISCES Feb. 19th – March 20th

August 23 to September 22 Jupiter’s change of sign gets you off your own case and helps you have fun! Be aware of the sacredness of play and enjoyment. Be with people who make you laugh. Be silly with kids and pets. Maybe start an art or dance class. Relationships also flourish because of releasing your perfectionism. Your heart is more open for others to love you when you like yourself! You can also have healing conversations with siblings that clear the air so you feel comfortable together again. Meditation helps you to trust your intuition and to take actions based on inner wisdom.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22nd – Dec. 21st Happy birthday Sagittarius! Abundant Jupiter blesses you financially all of this birth year! As money flows in, please budget well. You’ll feel so much more secure, as your careless spending comes from hidden anxiety. When there’s a plan, you’ll have a deep serenity. Mercury is in your sign most of the month, allowing for wonderful common sense, as well as amazing intuitive insights. Take actions when the time is right to manifest your ideas instead of merely leaving them on the abstract plane!

Trust your instincts in career. You can have amazing insightful solutions to work problems. These can come in meditation, or during the day as a result of quiet reflection. Remember you have a wise and powerful soul. Don’t underestimate yourself! Make effort to make new friends, or plan time with current pals who have hearts and spirits as big as yours. If an ex-love wants to get back together, or if you’re thinking of re-connecting with someone, make sure it’ll be a heathy relationship and not a “rescue mission”!

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Dogs

BY ANGELA ARDOLINO

hen my senior Schnauzer, Odie, started having a hacking cough, it broke my heart. Odie had overcome so many medical issues, including arthritis, through homeopathic remedies like CBD, and I knew that there had to be something I could do to help him kick the cough. When I met Dr. Carolyn Scott, holistic veterinarian and chiropractor, she assured me that a chiropractic adjustment could help my sweet boy. Within one treatment, Odie was completely different. His cough was dramatically reduced, and he seemed like his old self. “Dogs can certainly benefit from chiropractic if they have neck or back pain,” says Scott. “Dogs, and all animals really, can benefit if they are lame or limping, are walking funny or the top line is off. Chiropractic will also help normalize function.” The brain is constantly receiving feedback from all of the muscles, joints and organs in an animal or a human. Most of these corresponding nerves travel through the spinal cord, so if these areas are restricted in their normal range of motion or if the spine is out of alignment, it can result in pain and dysfunction. The chiropractic adjustment of an animal is exactly like adjusting a person. It provides a high velocity low amplitude thrust into a restricted joint. This gaps the joint and returns it to its normal range of motion, reducing dysfunction and discomfort. “Think of it like watching beach volleyball: the courts are marked off by colored string,” says Scott. “Sometimes a player lands on the string or slides into it, this makes the string not straight anymore. The player will then lift the line out of the sand and let it snap back into the correct place. This is a good way to visualize how chiropractic works.”

Chiropractic care is very safe if performed by a trained professional. Do not let anyone untrained near your animal. In Florida, a Doctor of Chiropractic, DC, must be certified to work on animals and have a prescription from a veterinarian to do chiropractic on animals. A veterinarian, DVM, does not need a certification. When performed by a qualified person there are very few risks. Sometimes the animal won’t feel any improvement for 24 hours after an adjustment and some pets feel immediate relief. For most dogs, a once a month chiropractic treatment works great. Think of this like a person being hunched over at a computer all day every day. Your neck and back take a beating. Dogs doing the same thing day after day has the same effect on their spine. If something happens to your dog, for example they fall off the couch or miss jumping up onto the bed, they will need to be adjusted right away. If your dog is attacked by another dog, bring them to your usual veterinarian to look for puncture wounds and then bring them to a chiropractor. Dog attacks are like car accidents in people and they will likely need more than one visit. The sooner your dog sees a chiropractor, the faster your dog will heal. After these injuries have resolved, the dog can usually go back to monthly care. In addition to chiropractic treatment, acupuncture is another procedure that can help with pain and dysfunction. Acupuncture has been used for a variety of disorders from ulcers to nose bleeds, and even inappropriate elimination in cats (urinating / defecating outside the litter box). “I treated a dog who couldn’t walk from hind end lameness, not due to cancer or fibrocartilaginous embolus (FCE) which usually needs surgery,” says Scott. “She got 10 acupuncture treatments, and by the end she was walking. She needed help getting up the steps into her house but could walk around in the yard and in her home.” To learn more about the benefits of holistic care for pets, visit www.angelaardolino.com.
