� Do your joints ache and limit your ability to enjoy life? Do you have an outlook that you can only expect to get worse as you grow older, no matter what. � Many individuals rely on prescription pain killers and/or over-the-counter NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs) to get them through the day. Common over the counter NSAIDs include: ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Prescription brands are many, from celecoxib, ketorolac, tolmetin to rofecoxib to name just a few. � Have no doubt, there is a very dark side to this reliance on these NSAIDs and dependence on these drugs are taking a very big toll. All too commonly people experience nausea, vomiting, unknown G.I. bleeding and eventually even kidney damage. More shocking is the fact that NSAIDs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Over 100,000 people are hospitalized for GI bleeding and of those 16,500 die every year. Moreover, these numbers are very “conservative�. They have not been updated since 1997, and do not take in account the 30 billion over-the-counter NSAID tablets swallowed yearly! This is a horrific “silent epidemic� and getting worse. Just as important to know is that taking NSAIDs does not get to the underlying cause of the systemic inflammation that is affecting your joints, and the underlying cause of arthritis. It’s time you stop hurting yourself thinkng NSAIDs are the only salvation for arthritic pain! You don’t have to suffer, and you can start back on the road to healing today, naturally! � So how does someone reverse the pain and stiffness of arthritis? There are many different names given to this condition, but no matter what the diagnosis; osteoarthritis, degenerative spinal arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or just arthritis, these conditions come from underlying biochemical changes that lead to increased joint destruction and decreased joint repair. In any arthritis, our natural cartilage synthesis and maintenance of the joint lining called the synovium does not keep pace with the background breakdown of these tissues. This increased breakdown is caused by multiple factors, key among them is increased lack of nutritional upkeep to help the needs of your cartilage and the joint lining maintenance. If this is properly understood through laboratory testing, then nutritional support specific to these needs can be supplied, increasing cartilaginous and joint lining repair, improving the health of your joints, thus relieving pain and stiffness. � Another crucial factor contributing to increased joint breakdown is systemic inflammation coming from an up-regulated immune response. I find with many patients a primary cause for this is coming from the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Understandably, with over 70% of the immune system residing in your gastrointestinal tract, it is easy to see why a poorly maintained GI condition can be a source of increased systemic inflammation, and can bring on SIBO or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which not only leads to irritable bowel symptoms (IBS) but also can damage your G.I. lining. This can also lead to a condition known as increased intestinal permeability or “leaky gut�. NOTE: NSAIDs are a major cause of G.I. damage and “leaky gut syndrome�. � I hope this is becoming clear to you. With this “leaky gut�, bacteria in your G.I. have access to 70% of your immune system. Repeat! NSAIDs are a major cause of G.I. damage, and “leaky gut syndrome�. The bacterial imbalance situation can lead to an up-regulated immune response causing you systemic inflammation and inflamed painful achy joints. � There are specific laboratory tests to identify if you have systemic inflammation, SIBO and a “leaky gut�. Once identified there are healing programs that can be implemented to heal your G.I and reduce your systemic inflammation. With this, your IBS goes away along with your inflamed achy joints. � In addition to all this pain, “leaky gut� is also connceted to increased food allergies which I find in the majority of my arthritic patients. I have found for myself and many patients that by using a sophisticated Alletess IgG food allergy test for 184 foods, I can reduce arthritic symptoms, just by identifying, and then removing most of the patient’s food allergies. � Don’t be a victim of your arthritis and NSAIDs. Want to know more? Google “sibo and arthritis� or “food allergies and arthritis�. I invite you to join me, Dr. Greg Fors, at one of my FREE “Reversing Your Arthritis� health workshops held at the Pain and Brain Healing Center, Blaine, MN on Wednesday, November 5th or Monday, November 17th at 6:30 PM or Wednesday, November 12th at 10:00 AM.

c countries around the world. In America, this chain is the llargest user of cheese, purchasing more than 3% of the ccountry’s supply, an amount that requires 170,000 dairy ccows to produce. • Pizza Hut’s first ad back in 1965 featured the slogan “Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut.â€? A man in a business suit driving his 1965 Mustang was the star of the ad. Over the years Donald and Ivana Trump, Ringo Starr, The Monkees, and even former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev have appeared in Pizza Hut advertisements. • Pizza Hut may be the largest pizza chain with the most restaurants, but it’s not the leader in delivery. That honor belongs to Domino’s, who has nearly 11,000 stores in more than 70 countries, delivering more than million pizzas every day. Domino’s started out with one store in 1960, when Tom Monaghan and his brother James borrowed $900 to buy DomiNick’s, a pizzeria in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The following year, James traded his half of the company for a Volkswagen Beetle. In 1965, Tom renamed his store Domino’s Pizza. By 1978, there were 200 restaurants. In 1983, the company opened not only its 1,000th store, but its first international outlet as well, in Winnipeg, Canada. • Less than half of Domino’s pizzerias are located in the U.S., about 5,000 out of 11,000. The U.K. is home to 774, India has 715, Mexico totals 592, and Canada has 380. • Now estimated as the third largest pizza company, Little Caesars Pizza got its start in Garden City, Michigan in 1959. After Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Mike Illitch was injured, he and his wife Marian went into the pizza business. Mike wanted to name the restaurant Pizza Treat, but Marian had a better idea. She thought of Mike as her “little Caesar,â€? and the name stuck. That original store is still in operation today. • Available pizza toppings in North America vary according to geographical area, and in some parts of the country, regional favorites are Cajun shrimp, oysters,

crayfish, tuna, venison, duck, eggplant, and artichoke hearts. The majority of the population still favors meat toppings (62%), while the remaining 38% prefer vegetarian ingredients. International toppings include Japan’s favorite squid, eel, bacon, and potato pizza. In India, folks prefer pickled ginger, mutton, and tofu, while a fish pizza is the Russian’s choice, a combination of sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring, and salmon. In the Netherlands, if you order up a Double Dutch, you’ll receive double cheese, double onions, and double beef. • Canada has its own unique taste in pizza. The Poutine has toppings of cheese curds, French fries, gravy, and shaved beef. Also gaining popularity there is the hot dog stuffed crust pizza, which features an Angus beef hot dog cooked inside the stuffed crust. • Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy, produced from the milk of water buffalos. Traditional mozzarella comes from those buffalo in a very few countries, including Bulgaria and Italy. Because it is not aged like most cheeses, traditional mozzarella is eaten fresh within a few hours after it is produced. Most mozzarella is made from pasteurized cow’s milk due to the rarity of the water buffalos. • What about pizza’s caloric content? A pepperoni personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut is about 625 calories, while one slice of that company’s Supreme pan pizza is 440 calories.

• T Tomato sauce b base did didn’t ’ come about b until il the h late 1600s. Until that time Europeans were suspicious of tomatoes, believing them to be poisonous. Once they overcame that fear, tomatoes became the base for pizzas. • Antica Pizzeria is the first known pizzeria, which opened in Naples, Italy in 1738. In 1830, the Port’Alba restaurant opened in Naples, baking their pies in an oven lined with lava from nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius. America’s first pizzeria was opened by Gennaro Lombardi in 1897 in New York City, and is still in operation just down the street from its original location. • To the Italians, there are two main types of pizza, the Marinara and the Margherita. Marinara pizza is topped with tomato, oregano, garlic, and olive oil, while the Margherita has a topping of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. • Super Bowl Sunday is the highest pizza sales day of the year. Domino’s Pizza alone sells more than 110 million pizza slices on that day, about 80% more than a normal Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is followed by New Year’s Eve, Halloween, Thanksgiving Eve, and New Year’s Day. But even with all the pizzas sold Santa’s response to letters from on those days, pizza still takes second place in the Place your order now for takeout department for the over-50 crowd, edged out by business owners...... chicken.

FAMOUS PEOPLE:

JONI MITCHELL B k iin the Back h 1960 1960s andd 1970 1970s, she h was one off the h lleading folk performers, racking up Grammy after Grammy. Let’s examine the facts on the talented Canadian native, Joni Mitchell. • We know her as Joni Mitchell, but she was born Roberta Joan Anderson. Her father, a Royal Canadian Air Force flight lieutenant, was stationed in Fort Macleod, Alberta, during World War II, instructing pilots, and it was here that Roberta was born in 1943. • As a child, Joni developed an interest in classical piano when several of her friends were taking music lessons, and she developed a love for Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Beethoven, and Debussy. She herself began piano lessons at age 6. But when she was 8, calamity struck in the form of polio. It was 1951, before Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine was in use, and an epidemic swept through the area. Joni was bedridden for weeks, and during her confinement, she became interested in singing, frequently practicing on her fellow patients. • Physical weakness following her recovery forced Joni to leave behind any athletic interests she may have had, causing her to fully pursue the arts. Singing, poetry, and painting became her loves. As a teen, she began singing in small nightclubs in western Canada, as well as adding songwriting to her list of accomplishments. Her playing and songwriting took on a different sound due to a weakness in her left hand as a result of the polio. This made it impossible for her to play certain chords, so she created a different sound with alternative chords she could manage, chords that Mitchell herself calls “Joni’s weird chords.” • Joni played gigs in local coffeehouses in Calgary, saving up money to fund her real desire – art school. She enrolled in Calgary’s Alberta College of Art and Design to pursue painting, but dropped out after a year. It was in a Toronto folk club that she met a Michigan folk singer, Chuck Mitchell. Within a week, the pair were married, followed by an immediate move to the United States, where they began playing music together. • The marriage didn’t last but her music did, and in 1968, when she was 25, Joni Mitchell recorded her debut album, produced by David Crosby. It was

followed closely by her second album “Clouds,” which featured her famous composition “Both Sides Now” and earned Mitchell her first Grammy. She wrote and recorded “Big Yellow Taxi” in 1970, with its well-known line, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” One of the biggest hits for the group Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, “Woodstock,” was composed by Mitchell. • She began her move from folk songs to jazz and blues in 1974 with the album “Court and Sparks,” which is now her most successful album. Rolling Stone magazine ranks it as #111 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. • Joni Mitchell has received eight Grammy Awards, most recently in 2008. In 2002, she was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which described her as “one of the most important female recording artists of the rock era.” She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and into the Canadian songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007. • Today, Mitchell is retired with numerous health problems. She began smoking at age 9, and it has been her lifelong habit.

Black Dirt

It’s time to air the dirty laundry about dirty laundry! Here’s the dirt on everybody’s not-so-favorite chore. • The word “laundry” has is origins in the Latin word Lavanda, which translates “things to be washed.” We also get our word “lavatory” from the same root, which meant “a place to do washing.” • The average family does 8 to 10 loads of laundry weekly, about 50 lbs. (22.7 kg) worth. Each load contains about 16 items, with an average time for completion from start to finish of one hour and 27 minutes. • Where do people do their laundry these days? Back in 1992, just 17% of homes had a separate laundry room. Today that figure is nearing 60%. The dark and dreary basement laundry room is also becoming a thing of the past, as over 60% of new laundry rooms are being built on upper floors. • The first hand-operated washing machine came along in the mid-1800s. It consisted of a revolving wooden drum turned by hand. It was later updated to include pegs and gears to push clothes through soapy water. The invention of the internal combustion engine and electric motor in the early 1900s revolutionized doing the laundry. In 1908, Chicago’s Hurley Company introduced a galvanized tub and wringer powered by an electric motor. Unfortunately, there was no onoff switch and there was a danger of the user’s hands getting caught in it. Washers became automatic in 1937 when the Bendix Corporation was issued the first patent that eliminated the dangerous wringer. By the 1940s, nearly 60% of American homes had an electric washing machine. • The first clothes dryer was invented in 1935 by a North Dakota man who didn’t like seeing his mother hanging her laundry outside during the cold winters. He constructed an oil-heated drum capable of running on gas or electricity. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, he had to sell his design to the Hamilton Manufacturing Company the next year, forfeiting the potential earnings of his invention. • Procter & Gamble created Tide detergent in the 1920s, but didn’t mass produce it until 1943. It was the first synthetic detergent, and used no soap ingredients. Lots of folks think that laundry detergent is soap, but it just isn’t so. Its main ingredients are chemicals derived from petroleum. Tide is sodium tripolyphosphate and alkyl sulfate. University studies show that detergents actual leave chemical residue on fabrics, up to a full scoop after 10 washings. • Fabric softeners that prevent static cling and make fabrics softer were first developed in the early 1900s. The early blends consisted of water, soap, and olive, corn, or tallow oil. Those early softeners have been replaced by chemical compounds that coat the surface of the fabric and remain on it to make it feel smoother and softer. If fabric softener is always used on household items that are meant to absorb liquid, such as towels and cleaning clothes, the layer of buildup will eventually prevent those items from absorbing and they will in fact repel liquid. • Only 10-20% of Americans use a clothesline, while only about 4% of homes in Italy even own a dryer. Despite the financial savings and benefit to the environment provided by clotheslines, there are about 300,000 areas in America, including mobile home parks, gated communities, condominiums, and retirement communities that actually ban the use of clotheslines.

Avoid Drug Copay Coupons If clipping coupons keeps some money in our pockets, we’re all for it. But there’s one type of coupon you don’t want to use: drug manufacturers’ coupons to save you money on your drug-plan copays. You see, it’s illegal. It’s part of the anti-kickback laws. And while the drug companies are the ones at fault, there’s recent news that you, the coupon user, could be implicated if you use those coupons in conjunction with your Medicare Part D. Here’s how this works: Drug companies give copay coupons to entice you to buy their brand-name drugs instead of the generic that your drug plan offers. This is illegal, because it encourages people to purchase drugs that are paid for by a government health-care program, such as Medicare Part D. And why should you care (besides the fact that it’s illegal)? Because in the end it will cost you money. Here’s how: If you buy a drug that costs $100 with a $20 copay and use a coupon for $10, you pay only $10 out of pocket. The Plan D program then pays the balance. However, the Part D plan might have a contract to purchase a generic of the drug for only $40. By purchasing the more-expensive drug with your $10 coupon, you’ve just made your Part D plan pay a larger amount. Ultimately your drug-plan costs will go up ... as well as taxes. How could you be implicated in this? Read the tiny print on the coupon itself. It might say that the coupon can’t be used for drugs covered under a federal health-care program. The information also might be buried on the drug company’s website. If the company is caught, it will point to the small text it provided.

Witches and witchcraft have been around for thousands of

years, and can be traced as far as when man discovered fire, and would spend the nights by its mystic flame preparing all sorts of concoctions. The word itself comes from “wicca,� meaning “the wise one�, and yet, witches have always been considered a demonic apparition. Take Cassandra for example, priestess of Apollo, who predicted the fall of Troy. The Witch of Endor is mentioned in the Old Testament, with warnings to stay away from her. Morgan Le Fey meddled in King Arthur’s business, but there is no evidence of her existence. On the other hand, there are witches that did actually exist, although we can’t be sure whether they were actually the servants of Satan, or simply misunderstood outcasts. Throughout history, many witches have been burned at the stake. Some did indeed commit acts of treason and murder, while others were innocent and simply could not defend themselves. It wasn’t until the 11th century AD that witchcraft invoked the wrath of priests, Christianity, and the society. In the 13th century, Pope Gregory authorized the execution of witches, and the Inquisition was born as an institution that would track down and punish witches and heretics. In 1498, Pope Innocent VIII issued a declaration confirming the existence of witches, and so the witch hunt began. 10's of thousands of people, mainly women, were executed after being accused of witchcraft.

● Milton Hershey, creator of the iconic Hershey Bar and founder of the Pennsylvania company town that bears his name, grew up in a Mennonite family, working on the family farm. He had no formal schooling past the fourth grade. He served as an apprentice to a candy maker, then started his own confectionery. It failed. His second attempt also was a failure. His third attempt in the candy business was such a success that he sold the company for a large profit in 1900. He immediately used the proceeds from that sale to come up with his own formula for milk chocolate and create the Hershey Company.

● Scotsman John Paul Jones is best known for his naval exploits for the nascent United States during the Revolutionary War, and for his infamous utterance, “We have not yet begun to fight!” Most people don’t realize, though, that he was born John Paul and only adopted the surname “Jones” on his first trip to America, where he came to flee charges in the deaths of two sailors under his command.

● Don’t consider yourself uneducated if you’ve never heard of anthropodermic bibliopegy; the practice of binding books with human skin is not (one can hope) common in modern times.

● The condor is the largest flying land bird in the Western Hemisphere -- and one of the slowest in reproducing. The female lays only one egg every two years.

● It was American author and critic H.L. Mencken who made the following sage observation: “Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats.”

● Those who study such things say that 20 percent of American men have spent at least one night in jail.

● Considering the ever-increasing cost of postage, you might be surprised to learn that the U.S. Postal Service was free until 1863.

● Any novelty seeker planning a trip to Japan ought to include a trip to the town of Susami, home to the world’s deepest underwater postbox. A scuba diver who would like to send a unique message should head to the local dive shop and buy a special water-resistant postcard, then use an oil-based marker to write the message. On a dive off the town’s coast, the diver can head down 30 feet to deposit the mail in a red postbox, which is checked every few days by a dive-shop employee. All the postcards are then taken to the local post office and sent on to the recipients.

● It was President John F. Kennedy who defined happiness as “the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.”

October is National Pizza Month! If you’ve eaten pizza in the past month, you’re part of the 93% of Americans who have done that same thing. In fact, across the nation, about 350 slices are consumed every second, equivalent to about 100 acres of pizza each day. If you’re an average citizen, you’ll eat about 46 slices, equal to 23 lbs. (10.4 kg) every year. Pizza sales generate about $30 billion annually. • It should be no surprise that pepperoni is the nation’s favorite topping, featured on about 36% of all pizzas ordered. That adds up to approximately 251,770,000 lbs. (114,200,951 kg) of this meat every year. Our least favorite topping is anchovies. About 61% of the population likes thin crust best and 14% prefer thick crust. The remainder like very thin crust the best. • There are more than 61,000 pizzerias in the United States. Over 9,000 of those are in New York. About 17% of the restaurants in America are pizzerias. • Pizza evolved in Italy hundreds of years ago as a way to use up leftovers. With no refrigeration or way to preserve perishables, women would roll out dough and put remnants of meals along with fresh produce on the dough to bake.
