Sleep Deprivation 101

May 22nd, 2010 Diane No comments

So, THIS is why The Boss wants me to sleep…he has an agenda…Like number 1,2,3 & 4 on the left…and probably 5,6 & 7 as well.  Number 8 means HE has to work for ME.  WAKE UP CALL to the dangers of sleep deprivation!

The Sleep Chronicles Ch. 1

May 21st, 2010 Diane No comments
“There is no magic pill,” are the words we all hate to hear, and they’re coming from Dr. Haase’s mouth.  It’s something we say often to patients at MWC, but now I was hearing it in my direction.  You see, the monkey on my back is not food, or physical activity, or any number of other things…it is sleep, or rather the lack of it.  I know that medication is the quick answer, and in the PharmaWorld of today, there are many magic pills, borne on the wings of iridescent moon-moths who float by promising a quick trip to Slumbertown.  It’s a classic oxymoron, a nocturnal creature as a messenger for sleep…not to mention that most Luna moths end up dead in the parking lot the next morning.  I want to fix this, not medicate it.  My grandmother slept like a rock until she died in her sleep at 94 years of age.
Ever encouraging, Doc reminded me that I’ve addressed so many of the underlying causes of “what the !@#! is wrong?,” but pointed out that now we were down to brass tacks.  Using my theory that I’d been busy fixing other mind/body/spirit issues, I had felt free to haunt the house all night long as was my lifelong habit, to work and worry when I should rest; to fool myself into believing that I could keep this pace up.  The lab results we reviewed reminded me…the body does not lie.  Now I am told that the hormonal imbalances could be fixed by WHAT?!?!  Sleep.  Free, but not easy.  I know what you’re thinking…you just didn’t ask enough questions.  With persistence I asked, “So what else could cause this?” and with insistence Doc answered…”You need to sleep.”
So, here I will tell the tale of trying to board the daily 9:04pm train to Slumbertown, or at least make it to the platform…It’s really no different than the struggle to kick junk food, or sodas or any number of things that you do or don’t, but wish you didn’t or did.  In other words, I feel your pain.

An Ondamed test-Toe-monial

May 16th, 2010 Diane No comments

“I told you that stuff wasn’t good for you.”  Even though I wanted to cry, I had to laugh.  Dr. Haase was talking about peanut butter, the kind choosy Moms choose.  A large jar of Extra Crunchy had fallen off my pantry shelf and onto my foot that morning, and once he’d determined that my two middle toes weren’t broken, the fun began.

Grace Vinson and Jennifer Hanley, our two nurse practitioners, joked that they’d hoped that it was my big toe so that they might have the opportunity to drill a hole in it to relieve the pressure, and though it wasn’t they both remarked “Your going to lose that nail,” right before the beginning of summer sandal season.  I watched it slowly turn deep purple throughout the day, and seriously, does anything hurt worse than smashing your toe?  Finally, Winnie Jones, our Clinical Director, reminded me of Ondamed, a pulsed electromagnetic biofeedback treatment that we offer here at the MaxWell Clinic.  I’d used it with great success to treat a large bruise on my arm last year, so off I went.  When I started, my entire nail was purple and my two middle toes were still throbbing.  After the treatment (20 minutes total), the pain was much better.  Next morning, I noticed that only half of the nail was now purple, and the pain was greatly reduced!  Over the next 3 days I gave myself 1 treatment a day.  Now 5 days later, my nail is still intact, and only about a small part of my nail is purple…oh, and I’m wearing a fabulous pair of heels with no pain whatsoever!

There are several pre-set programs (I used one for pain and one for tissue regeneration) for any number of things that we train patients to self-administer here at the clinic.  Ondamed works by “clearing” electromagnetic frequency imbalances in the body…in effect helping the body to heal itself.  You can find out more by visiting our website www.maxwellclinic.com, or the Ondamed website, www.ondamed.net.

Try it for yourself and see!  Oh, and Doc is right about the peanut butter…I’m switching to one without hydrogenated oils.

Diane Welker & Foods to fight Breast Cancer

First-ever MWC BreastFest BreakFast-

Oct. 22nd, 8-10 am.

It is our first-ever MaxWell Clinic BreastFest BreakFast (say that real fast 5 times!) at the MaxWell Clinic and Diane Welker made nice mention of it here in her regular article in the Leaf-Chronicle.    Thanks, Diane!

We will be serving a breast-healthy breakfast and all proceeds will go to research to find a cure for this devastating disease.    Breast-healthy breakfast you ask?   But of course…  lots of Omega 3′s, anti-oxidants, soluble fiber, with very little saturated fats and no trans-fats, artificial colors, preservatives, added sugars, or artificial sweetenters.

And if you can’t imagine anything like that tasting good then you really have never eaten at the table of Diane Welker in your lifetime!    Great food can taste Great!
