Tell us about your farm.
Strawberry
Farme{
Loves Her
Leg|!
My parents and I own Heller Farm, located between Bainbridge and Afton
on County Road 39, on the backside of the Susquehanna River. It’s off of exit
8 from Route 88. We purchased it in 1976 after moving from Pennsylvania
where our farm there was taken by the government to build a dam. Primarily,
it’s a pick-your-own strawberry farm. The berries are usually ready to pick in
June and last through the middle of July. We have four to 12 acres of
strawberries, depending on the weather. We are coming back strong now,
after being hit hard by the flood two years ago.
Our normal hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. You can find out
about the picking by calling 967-8440. We have four quart containers for
your use. You can usually fill one in 15 minutes. Four quarts of strawberries
will make a couple of pies and batches of jams. We raise a variety of berries
that are good for jams, jellies and pies — distinguishing us from other farms.
We also have blueberries and raspberries in June and July.
Berry picking is a fun experience, especially with the family. Some people
like to come in the early morning when it’s cooler with less bugs. It’s
good to get your food as fresh as possible and to know exactly
where it comes from. While in Bainbridge you may also like to
visit the Country Classics Ice Cream Shop on Route 7 and Pine
Ridge, also called the Mennonite Store on Route 205. There’s
also General Clinton Park, which has the canoe regatta in May.
So, tell me about your legs.
My legs are wonderful now. I can actually see my ankles. Both of
my ankles would swell, and my left ankle hurt despite the fact
that I had vascular surgery somewhere else. That is why I
came to see you. You sealed the veins shut that were
not working properly and removed some others.
Actually I love the results. I love that I can see both
my ankles are the right size. They are not too big
and they are not too small. The treatment
process was fantastic. I had no problems and
was back to working on the farm in a
couple of days.

What is Medical Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only FDA approved 100% permanent hair removal method.
We use sterile disposable instruments and a medical grade machine, which
sets it apart from other forms of electrolysis. All hair types — any color, any
texture, on any area of the body — can be effectively treated. This also sets it
apart from laser hair removal, which is faster but cannot treat some areas of
the body and cannot treat white, grey, blond or red hair.
What can I expect during a treatment?
The area to be treated is cleansed and dried. A disposable probe is inserted
into the hair follicle. You will not feel the insertion of the probe. A quick zap
of current that treats the follicle feels like a tiny warm pinch. That hair is then
lifted out of the skin and permanently gone! Most people experience little
to no discomfort. Our electrolysis machine, called Apilus Platinum, is also
equipped with a unique tolerance test, which allows the unit to be adjusted
and adapted to your level of sensitivity. A soothing cream is applied to the
area being treated, which may remain pink for a few hours to a day. To get
the best results, you must NOT tweeze, wax or use depilatory creams for
preferably a month before the appointment.
How much does it cost?
Your initial consultation is free. At that time, we will recommend a treatment
schedule. Although electrolysis is permanent, multiple sessions are required
because hair has different growth cycles. Length of treatment and time
required are evaluated on an individual basis. Fees start at $75 for 30 minutes.
Are there any risks with Medical Electrolysis?
There is the risk of scarring or pigment changes if done by an inexperienced
technician or from an outdated inferior machine. I am highly trained in
electrolysis and very confident you will be satisfied with your results. We have
the best electrolysis machine available. It’s the number one brand in
permanent hair removal. This machine makes it possible to obtain results
much more rapidly than with anything else on the market, and gets results
with 25% less treatments than other machines.
So, Courtney tell me about yourself.
I grew up near Syracuse and left to be a flight attendant in Philadelphia. In time,
I decided that wasn’t for me and became an electrolysis technician in a
premier salon. My clientele included celebrities and doctors. I moved back to
Syracuse and received my Medical Esthetician license. On a recommendation
from a client, I moved to Oneonta to work at Oneonta Laser Derm.
I’m passionate about helping clients obtain beautiful skin through education,
treatments and products that are beneficial for them. It’s never too late to
start taking good care of your skin. In addition to electrolysis, my services
include facials, microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, chemical peels, full body
waxing, makeup lessons and application.
I’m also passionate about my daughter, Savannah, who turns four in May!

#1 Worst Food
… C auses Faster Aging!
by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Catherine Ebeling, RN, BSN
Do you eat food that harms your blood sugar and ages your joints and skin
faster? Some foods are deceptively marketed as "healthy" by giant corporations.
Biochemical reactions in your body occur with every type of food you eat. Eat
the wrong foods regularly, and you can look and feel 10 or more years older
than your real age! Eat the right foods and, over time, you can start to look 5–
10 years younger than your real age. Three of the processes that go on inside
your body that have a major impact on your rate of aging are called glycation,
inflammation and oxidation. Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are
compounds that speed up the aging process in your body including damage
over time to your organs, joints, and also lead to wrinkled skin.
Wheat based foods (yes, even “whole wheat”) are considered to be the worst
food that ages you faster. Wheat contains a very unusual type of carbohydrate
(not found in other foods) called Amylopectin-A, which has been found in some
tests to spike blood sugar –– higher than table sugar does. In fact, AmylopectinA (from wheat) raises your blood sugar more than almost any other source of
carbohydrate. In other words, wheat-based foods such as breads, bagels, cereals,
muffins and other baked goods often cause much higher blood sugar levels
than most other carbohydrate sources. The higher your average blood sugar
levels are over time, the more AGEs are formed inside your body, which makes
you age faster.
You’ve probably heard in the news recently about the potential healthdamaging effects of gluten (also found in wheat), but this blood sugar aspect
we just covered is not talked about that often. Moreover, losing body fat is
typically a nice side effect of eliminating or reducing wheat in your diet!
Another problem with wheat-based foods and aging is that baked wheat
products contain carcinogenic chemicals called acrylamides that form in the
browned portion of breads, cereals, muffins, etc. These carcinogenic acrylamides
have been linked to possible increased risk of cancer and accelerated aging.
Acrylamides are also found in high levels in other browned carbohydrate sources
such as french fries and other browned starchy foods. Additionally, corn-based
foods that also highly disrupt blood sugar — corn cereals, corn chips, corn
syrup — increase aging.
So what’s the alternative? Sprouted grain bread like
Ezekiel 4:9 bread (one of the most popular brands of
sprouted grain bread) is a great way to include bread in
your diet without the issues associated with white
breads and even 100% whole wheat breads.
