TAKE OUT

CANDIDA OVERGROWTH 

By Jackie Talero-Rueda, The Crunchy Mom 

Intestinal yeast overgrowth is an issue for many 

people. The digestive tract normally contains trillions of 

M m 

bacteria and asmall amount of yeast. This balance is 

important because having this amount of bacteria will 

keep yeast in check and prevent it from multiplying and occupying 

more of the intestine. When our gut is out of balance yeast or 

candida overgrowth is verylikely to occur. Yeast overgrowth most 

commonly occurs after antibiotic use especially broad spectrum 

antibiotics. Antibiotics, as they pass through the intestine kill off 

good bacteria. When bacteria is killed it gives yeast room to grow. 

If candida is present in disproportionate quantities in can cause 

infections like diaper rash, vaginitis, and thrush. Candida can affect 

various parts of the bodythe most common being the mouth, ears, 

nose, toenails, fingernails, gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Yeast 

overgrowth may also manifest into awide array of symptoms. These 

include, diarrhea, constipation, colitis, abdominal pain, headaches, 

bad breath, rectal itching, lowlibido, memoryloss, mood swings, 

canker sores, persistent heart burn, muscle and joint pain, congestion, 

nagging cough, numbness in face or extremities, acne, night sweats, 

severe itching, white spots on tongue and in mouth, extreme fatigue, 

depression, hyperactivity,adrenal problems and brain fog. So yes, 

yeast overgrowth can have manydifferent symptoms. Manyofthese 

symptoms can be related to other conditions so it is important to look 

into them further. Just keep in mind thatyeast could be the culprit. 

Very often people with candida infections also have food allergies. 

Yeast releases toxic chemicals. These toxins irritate intestinal lining 

and contribute to leaky gut. When there is leaky gut, these yeast 

toxins enter the bloodstream and can affect brain functioning. For 

some it may give the brain fog. Forothers it can cause alack of focus, 

poor physical coordination, difficulty in concentrating on tasks and 

poor memory. Forchildren it can cause hyperactivity and inability to 

focus. These children may even get diagnosed with ADHD when in 

reality they have ayeast problem. If you have afungal infection on 

your nails or anywhere on the outside of your bodyyou most likely 

have yeast overgrowth issue going on the inside as well. There 

are prescription medicines to treatyeast and manytimes they are 

needed. Especially for more serious cases. There are also powerful 

natural remedies. Aloe vera juice has been shown to boost the white 

blood cells’ ability to kill yeast. Olive leaf extract with oleuropein 

is apowerful healer of microbial infections. Paud’arco contains 

an antibacterial and anti fungal agent. Wild oregano oil is apotent 

antiseptic, powerful in killing arange of fungi. Caprylic acid found 

in MCT and coconut oil can kill harmful candida. There are many 

candida diets out there to help get rid of yeast. Most of them require 

adiet thatislittle to no sugar and carbs. There 

are candida cleanses and herbal supplements 

as well. Followany candida treatment with a 

high count probiotic. Always consult with your 

doctor first.

ADOPT FERN and IVY 

FERN and IVY are two 

young brothers facing 

the world alone. They 

were brought to the 

shelter as strays, 

weak, vulnerable, 

hungry, with no 

mommy in sight. A 

few months later they 

are health, strong, 

energetic and oh-soplayful. 

They are just 

beginning their lives 

and they are ready for 

aloving home to grow 

old in. At AWSOM we 

always say that kittens are better in twos—they keep each other 

company as they play, sleep and cuddle the day away. Ofcourse 

we would love to see these sweet babies adopted together, but 

if you only have room for one we will be happy to see them find 

the right home. One thing's for sure, whether alone or together, 

the joy of watching 

these happy-golucky 

boys run, jump 

and play is priceless. 

Fern and Ivy are 

just 4months old, 

neutered, up to date 

on vaccinations and 

look like black and 

grey tiger twins. 

Come meet our 

sweet boys today! 

The AWSOM Animal Shelter is located at 3129 Godfrey Ridge 

Drive, Stroudsburg, PA 18360. Adoptions hours are 11AM to5PM, 

7days aweek. Volunteer opportunities are always available. 

Stop in or call 570-421-DOGS for more information. 

The AWSOM Animal Wellness Center is open Monday thru Friday

PA State Parks Have Lots to Offer 

By Rep. Julie Harhart (R-Lehigh/Northampton) 

One of the benefits of living in Pennsylvania is taking advantage of all the lakes, 

rivers, mountains and scenic areas, as well as enjoying outdoor activities such 

as fishing, boating, camping, bike riding and hiking. One of the ways in which 

we preserve these opportunities for residents and visitors alike is through our 

comprehensive state park system. Pennsylvania offers atotal of 120 state parks 

thatare free to visit and explore. 

Attractions such as the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen State Park, Balanced Rock 

and the Ice Mine at Trough Creek State Park, the natural waterslide at Ohio Pyle 

State Park or the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon at Leonard Harrison and Colton 

Point state parks are not to be missed. Plus, there are numerous shopping and 

historic attractions located near manyofthe parks. 

The firststate park was established in 1893 at Valley Forge in Chester County, 

and since then, Pennsylvania’sstate park system has grown to encompass more 

than 283,000 acres of property,200 miles of bike trails, 30,000 acres of state 

park lakes and more than 1,000 miles of hiking trails. Manyofthe stateparks 

also offer environmental educational programs for children. 

State parks are agreatfamily destination with something for everyone, 

including camping, swimming,boating, fishing, whitewater rafting, hiking, biking, 

horseback riding, bird watching, photography or simply taking long walks in the 

woods. 

Families thatenjoycamping can take advantage of numerous opportunities 

across the state to enjoysome of our beautiful parks. Most state parks have 

campgrounds to accommodate both tents and RVs. Manyalso have modern bath 

houses and rent cabins, cottages, yurts and sometimes even houses within state 

park grounds. 

To make reservations at one of the 7,000 campsites, 286 cabins (both rustic 

and modern), or 300 picnic pavilions throughout Pennsylvania’sstate park system, 

call toll-free 1-800-PA-PARKS, 7a.m. to 5p.m., Monday through Saturday. 

Youcan book acabin, pavilion or group tenting area up to 11 months in advance 

and within two days of arrival. Campsites can be secured up to noon on the day 

of arrival. Fees maybecharged for campsites and other facilities. 

If you never camped before and would like to try, the Department of Conservation 

and Natural Resources has awonderful program to introduce first-time 

campers to this greatrecreational activity. 

Forjust$20, first-time campers can get acampsite for two nights at anyone 

of 12 state parks. The fee includes rental of afour-person tent, rain tarp, four 

sleeping pads, four camp chairs, flashlight, lantern, camp stove and four hot 

dog/marshmallowsticks. Aparkstaffer will help the campers set up camp. The 

participating state parks include Black Moshannon, Centre County; Hills Creek, 

Tioga County; Little Pine/Hyner Run, Lycoming County; Ole Bull, Potter County;

ANon-American's Thoughts 

On Patriot's Day 

ai As anon-native of America Iamaware that my 

experiences of the 9/11 disaster are vicarious at best, 

Iamhumbled by my desire to share my thoughts on 

anational tragedy. If Iseem to not give my words the 

gravity thatthe event deserves Ioffer my sincerest apologies. 

Iremember whatIwas doing when Iheard about an aircraft flying into a 

sky-scraper in America on thatFriday,September 9th, 2011 Iwas working as a 

cashier in a flagship city center bank in the North of England. Asmall, portable 

radio was on in the adjoining room where we would count large deposits of 

money.Iheard the announcer say thatanairplane had flownintothe World 

Trade Center and Iremember thinking, "is this the end of the world?" and thatI 

wanted to go home to be with my wife. This was the only time in my life when I 

have seriously thought thatitwas theend of the world. 

The plane crash thatFriday in September dominated the news on the 

television, Iremember wondering why the destruction of the Twin Towers 

was so important. Inever felt the sense of dread of the day thatIhavesince 

experienced in my conversations with Americans. Forme, 9/11 had the same 

impact as the death of British Princess LadyDiana. (On the day of her death, 

Iwas working in the kitchen of an army base, and was on abreak when the 

news of her death was first revealed to me.) 

It wasn't until IcametoAmerica thatIbegan to comprehend the horror 

of 9/11. Manyofthe people thatIspoke to about the day have had some 

connection to the event, whether personally or via aclose family member or 

friend. People have told me about being grounded for days at atime for days 

after when flying was stopped to ensure American security. The tale of asister 

who was in New York thatFriday,how herfamilylost track of her when the city 

cell phone towers were off and the relief when she was finally found safe and 

sound. One storysticks in my mind, apregnant ladywho was driving in her car 

across aNew York bridge when the events happened. The ladyrecalled how, 

on thatday,the roads suddenly,inexplicably,emptied and howshe was worried 

thatauthorities might think thatthe lone driver on the road was apossible 

terrorist herself. 

American national observance of 9/11 is uncharacteristically subdued, the 

red, white and blue is hung at half mast over the White House and all federal 

buildings. People are encouraged to display the flag at theirhomes. While 

the day is not anational holiday,volunteer and service organisations hold 

ceremonies of remembrance. 

Iwas made awareofthe importance of remembering the day with such 

services when Irealized thatthe lower grades of middle school children were 

born after the day and so would have no memories of the horror.Asanation, we 

need to keep speaking about thatday,how it affected us, and howweare living 

after the day. 

Terrorists may strike at the heart of the American people, and even damage 

thatheart just alittle, but America will not allowsuch barbarity to weaken the 

nation's resolve to live free as the founding Fathers intended. 

As amember of anation, not America, Istand with my hand over my heart 

and salute you. America,you are great, and nothing is going to change that! 

27 

This September 11th, Patriot's Day,remember the people thatdied on that 

day. Remember the reasons thatweare able to celebrate our freedom in this 

greatland. 

God Bless America!

Nocturnal Rites 

by Robert Martin 

When day is rid of its nervous grindings 

Asleep on the moors and river windings 

Darkened forests and meadows come alive 

While nocturnal rites to sound all arrive 

Hearken the beauty of the cricket’ssong 

Waiting all day when night comes along 

‘Tis the sweet thunder of the mating calls 

As Mother Nature sings thru’ hallowed walls 

Little creatures blessed by asteady rhythm 

Of unassuming chants by nature driven 

Achorus thru’ the night ‘til mornings come 

Aprelude to the arrival of the ensuing sun 

Asymphonycomposed by our 

Own Mother Nature 

And performed by the crickets 

Her Nocturnal Overture 

An ode to the sounds of 

Poetic nights 

To the sweet rhythms 

Of her Nocturnal Rites
