by Allison Costa www.venturafoodhappenings.com

Do you ever eat while driving or scarf something down with-out really tasting it? Sadly, some would call this the American way. But proponents of Slow Food, the movement born in the 1980s as the ultimate touché to fast food, are calling out for people to slow down, starting at the table. Slow Food gained a local following a few years back, but for many, the name

was confusing and the concept a bit intimidating. Eventually, the local chapter fizzled.

Yet the notion of paying more attention to our food, where it comes from and how it tastes is still going strong. One indicator of this shift is apparent at the farmers market. Karen Schott, from the Ventura County Farmers Markets, says that people have become more inquisitive about where their food comes from, and overall market

sales were up 10 percent in 2009. Local chefs Rachel Main of

Main Course California and Tim Kilcoyne of the Sidecar Restaurant are fine examples of this shift in thinking in the res-taurant world. Both use fresh, local, seasonal produce as the backbone of their menus. They aim to keep their foods simple and allow the inherent flavors to shine. Kilcoyne explains, “When food doesn’t spend a lot of time

on a truck, it makes a huge differ-ence flavor wise on the plate.” He uses 100 percent of any product he buys, even turning carrot tops into soup or pesto.

They can both be found shop-ping at the farmers market each week and have close relationships with the farmers they source from. Main explains, “I believe in getting as close as possible — both physi-cally and emotionally — to where our food comes from.”

In a similar vein, Kris and Joanne Young of Ojai are spear-heading the project Locavore

Is Slow Food finally catching on?

Kris and Joanne Young of Ojai enjoy a celebration dinner with those who completed The 2009 Eat Local One Year project, the precursor to Locavore Lite 2010.

Lite 2010. They are looking for 5,000 people to commit to shop-ping at the farmers market monthly and eating three com-pletely local meals during the year. They believe that eating local is better for local farmers, the environment, and better for our health.

No matter what you call it, all these people are living examples of one of Slow Food’s goals: that we should be informed about how our food is produced and support those producing it. The irony is that even though we may not call it Slow Food any-more, when eating Rachel Main’s fresh tomato soup or an apple from the farmers market, we can’t help but slow down. F

You Don’t Have To Suffer With Your Low Back Pain or Leg Pain Any Longer. If You Are Suffering and Taking Handfuls of Pain Pills, Then This Could Be The Most

Important Thing You’ve Ever Read…Are you tired of having to live with back pain.? You’re not alonebecause over 80% of the population will suffer with back pain atsome point in their life.

Until recently you had 3 main choices when it came to treatingback pain caused by herniated discs:

1. Live with the pain, which let your problem get worse.2. Take prescription pain medication, which just covered up your symptoms and didn’t correct the cause of your problem.3. Undergo dangerous surgery, which can cause Failed Back SurgerySyndrome.

Now there is a non-invasive procedure for lumbar back painthat doesn’t use medications or surgery. It’s called SpinalDecompression Therapy and is performed using a specialized tablecalled the DRX-9000.

If you are suffering with any of the following conditions:

*Back Pain*Leg Pain/Sciatica*Disc Degeneration*Facet Syndrome*Herniated Discs

…then you may be a candidate forthis procedure.

This procedure is safe, painless anddoesn’t use any medications or requiresurgery. It’s so gentle that most patientsfall asleep during the procedure.

The DRX-9000 decompressiontable is designed to gently and preciselydistract the spine and take the pressure offyour spinal nerves.

The DRX-9000 tableis computerized and acompletely customizedprocedure. This isstate-of-the-art, 21stcentury technology.

Here’s whatsome of our satisfiedpatients have saidabout their experi-ence with spinaldecompression:

“I was suffering from sciatica and the pain was affecting my life in every way possible. Iwas constantly in pain, always sleepy, had a constant lack of appetite, and found walkingto be extremely difficult. I finally decided to give non-surgical spinal decompression on theDRX-9000 a try after finding out that it was a non-invasive treatment and that these treat-ments were to be administered by a trustworthy chiropractor. The DRX-9000 and Dr. Alff

have literally given my back new life! Thank you!” - Royal H. Copeland, Oxnard

“I was suffering from a bulging disc that made it impossible to walk. Some days I could barely getout of bed because of the pain and depression I was feeling. I knew my condition was serious, but Ididn’t want to have surgery if it wasn’t necessary. When I learned about the DRX-9000 and learnedthat it was capable of treating herniated and bulging discs (without surgery), I knew I had to giveit a try. I’ve since finished my treatment on the DRX-9000 and I feel like a new person! Treatmentreally has been wonderful! The best part was that I didn’t have to have surgery! I tell everyoneabout how much better I am now and I think anyone suffering with bulging or herniated discs

should give the DRX-9000 a try.” - Martha Arriaga, Ojai

Whenever I’m feeling tight, sore, achy or just in need of get-ting my body back

in the flow, I develop a strong desire to get stuck with needles. No, I’m not talking about body piercing; I’m talking about acu-puncture, the ancient Chinese

remedy that dates back thou-sands of years.

I sought out acupuncture a few years ago to deal with persistent nagging pain in my left shoulder. When acupunc-ture was suggested, I absolutely flinched. I was, at the time, what

Acupuncture works as a therapeutic alternative to massage, reducing tension and easing pain.

Back then, I was a staunch believer in

conventional Western medicine. But since

I had tried everything else, and despite

my freakish fear of sharp things,

I turned to the needles.

you might call “needle-phobic.” While whining about not want-ing to be a human pin cushion, I was assured by my licensed acupuncture therapist that the needles are small and yield a therapeutic and healing benefit.

Back then, I was a staunch believer in conventional Western medicine. But since I had tried everything else, and despite my freakish fear of sharp things, I turned to the needles.

As I was prone and face down, listening to the therapist unwrap the needles, I made a point to rid myself of the visual-ization that the needles were the size of No. 2 pencils. The thera-pist asked me to inhale deeply, then exhale deeply. Upon the exhale, I felt a whisper of a sting near my scapula. This contin-ued about 20 more times, with each exhale, a gentle tap, tap,

accompanied by a little pinch. The needles were everywhere — my back, my legs, my feet, my hands, even my head.

I lay quietly for several minutes and soon began to feel the therapeutic effects of the needles. The pressure actually eased the pain, and the rest of my body felt as if the tension was subsiding.

I got up from the table and felt extremely relaxed. I wasn’t ready to conquer the world, though. No, I was ready for a power nap! I felt great. With my curiosity piqued, I asked to see the needles; they were about an inch long and as fine as hair! I laughed at myself for being so high-main-tenance, and then I made an appointment to return the fol-lowing week.

These days, I usually request

the larger needles. Most treat-ments last an hour and cost about the same as a massage. If you want a therapeutic alternative to massage, try any of these local licensed acupuncturists:

Technology + experience = expertise

F reedom from unwanted hair is a challenge many people struggle with.

Fortunately, innovative technol-ogy has provided fast, sophisti-cated solutions to hair removal, but technology alone will not solve the problem. A well-educat-ed and experienced technician is just as important as the equip-ment, to ensure effectiveness and safety for the patient.

The most precise, reliable method on the market today for permanent hair removal is an improved form of elec-trolysis known as thermolysis. Thermolysis is not new technol-ogy, but many people have never even heard of it, or do not know that it is completely safe, effec-tive and approved by the FDA for permanence.

State of the art, computer-ized epilators have shown great strides in the progress of per-manent hair removal, yet many technicians are still practicing conventional electrolysis with outdated equipment. Consumers are confused, and want to know the differences and advantages of thermolysis over electrolysis and laser hair removal.

Thermolysis versus electrolysis

If necessity is the mother of invention, then electrolysis, in its day, did accommodate the needs of the past. But due to advances in science and technol-ogy, it has been determined that thermolysis best meets the stan-dards of today. Mechanical and safety requirements, along with

Healthy, hair-free skinThermolysis leads the way in the latest technology for permanent hair removal

Thermolysis uses alternating current (AC) and a flexible, insulated probe that cauter-izes only the root portion of the hair. When a small pulse of current touches the moisture in the base of the hair follicle, it makes heat (thermo) at milli-seconds (1,000th of a second).

new qualifications for technique and application, have significant-ly improved the procedure, mak-ing it the leader in permanent hair removal.

Both procedures use a mild electrical current, but the key dif-ference is the type of electricity used, and the conductor to emit the current. Thermolysis uses alternating current (AC) and a flexible, insulated probe that cauterizes only the root portion of the hair. When a small pulse of current touches the moisture in the base of the hair follicle, it makes heat (thermo) at mil-liseconds (1,000th of a second). Electrolysis uses direct current (DC) that causes a chemical decomposition (acid) that dis-solves everything in the area. This process takes three to 10 seconds to treat each hair, and

can be very painful and damag-ing to the skin. Thermolysis is much faster, therefore creating less sensation to the patient, so there is minimal discomfort and no skin damage.

Once a hair is treated with thermolysis using the proper tech-nique, the follicle is unable to pro-duce another hair. That hair is gone forever; it will not grow back. It has been permanently removed.

Thermolysis versus laserAnother advantage of thermoly-sis is that it can be used on everyone — regardless of skin and hair color — and is safe to use on all areas of the face and body. Laser hair removal, which is not a permanent solution, requires specific skin and hair color, and there are restrictions regarding sunlight and some skin care products. Reports of patients being burned, scarred and developing pigment lesions along with discoloration of the skin are more common than the public realizes. The technology is not precise enough to tar-get the germinating cells of the follicle and must pass through the skin to get to the hair. The high risk of side effects on the skin make the desired results difficult, if not impossible, to achieve for some patients, and long-term effects of the proce-

Well-designed eyebrows are not just trendy— they are one of the most important aspects of overall style and beauty, enhancing the eyes to make them the main focus of the face.

The FDA does not approve laser hair removal for perma-nence; the hair does grow back. So after spending time and money for laser treatments, patients are left with, in some cases, the same amount of hair they started out with. Also, the extreme pain of the treatments can be intolerable for some patients, even with the use of topical anesthetics.

With the proliferation of laser hair removal in recent years, it is imperative for the consumer to do research, ensuring the techni-cian and equipment are following specific safety requirements. A credentialed safety officer should maintain safe practices and management of laser hazards in accordance with the ANSI-Z-136.3 Standard, along with OSHA,

CDRH, and insurance guidelines. Note: Lasers present cor-

neal and retinal eye hazards. Protective eyewear should be used at all times when lasers are in operation, and must be labeled according to the optical density of the material. Laser should never be used near the eye area. Safety glasses do not protect against direct laser impacts.

Focus on eyebrowsThermolysis is far superior to any other type of hair removal for the precision design of eye-brows. Well-designed eyebrows are not just trendy— they are one of the most important aspects of overall style and beauty, enhancing the eyes to make them the main focus of the face. You can achieve a time-less, custom shape that will stay that way forever without the

need to tweeze, wax or worry about messing up the shape.

By having a specialist analyze and execute the proper shape cor-rections, you will have the confi-dence of knowing you will always look your best. You should have a consultation and personal evalu-ation to find the best shape for your individual style. The exper-tise of the technician is key in achieving optimal results of eyebrow design. Advanced train-ing and experience, along with proper technique and tools, are necessary elements for creating beautiful eyebrows.

Flawless eyebrows that are completely maintenance-free are the result you get from thermoly-sis. Whether it is an eyebrow enhancement or a complete eye-brow design, with permanent hair removal, you can have beau-tiful eyebrows everyday.

Getting perspective

Knowledge and experience must be combined with tech-nology to attain the precision and accuracy needed to become an expert. When these key ele-ments are joined together, the benefits of healthy hair-free skin are possible.

In today’s fast-paced world, consumers are conscious of their time and hard-earned money when it comes to skin care, health and wellness. They want services that are simple, convenient and make a mea-surable difference without sac-rificing safety. As technology continues to advance, the need for developing expertise is cru-cial. Consumer awareness along with education will be the most important components of con-necting science with perfor-mance for generations to come.F
