Students will observe firsthand and learn about the organisms in the natural world, allowing them to develop an appreciation for the study of sci ence. Birds Continued from page 5 owl that cannot be released because of blindness, and a red-tail hawk no longer able to fly because it had been shot.A beautiful cock atoo named Peaches came to her as a result of a drunken husband who beat it so badly the left wing no longer exists. An African Grey Congo now lives at the retreat who had been hit with objects so often that even now when Jackie approaches it with any thing in her hands it will still panic and attack. She calls the bird “Choo Choo” because of its verbal habit of, “Hurry up, I gotta go to work, get on board.” Each time she feeds vegetables, another bird proclaims, “I don’t want that.” Jackie responds with, “Well, that’s too bad, eat it anyway,” after which it only insists again, “I don’t want that!” In addition, there are two cockatoos now in her care that were once locked in a closet for months because they screamed loudly and tore up furniture. They are still partly bald of feathers. It’s hard for her to believe that people are so ignorant of bird behavior and needs that they don’t have the slightest idea what to expect before they pur chase one. When we sat in her house and talked, a smaU but fully-grown mourning dove flew through the win dow and perched on the top of Jackie’s head. It later moved to her shoulder and peeked at me. For four years “Mourning” has refused to leave for the wild. Meanwhile, “Stubborn,” the lovebird, flew through the room twice. She named him that because he was too stub born to die. This good-hearted woman needs help.

Tours are welcomed at minimal fees, and some birds are for sale. Quit smoking cigarettes Each January, many Americans make the deci sion to quit smoking ciga rettes. Making this deci sion is an important first step. However, nicotine is highly addictive; the body becomes physically and psychologically dependent on it, making smoking a difficult addiction to over come. Here are some recom mendations from the American Cancer Society to help you understand the difficulties of quitting smoking and plan a strate gy When people quit smok ing the body reacts to the absence of nicotine, and smokers have withdrawal symptoms that are uncom fortable though they are temporary. These symp toms include depression, feelings of frustration or anger, irritability, difficulty sleeping, restlessness, headaches, tiredness and increased appetite. Nicotine substitutes and prescription oral medi cines can help ease with drawal symptoms. Once the physicail symp toms of quitting are under control, it is time to focus on the psychological chal- Perry’s Faim^ U-Pick lenge of quitting. For many people, smoking is linked to daily activities such as waking up, eating a meal, watching TV or drinking coffee, a situation that causes people to crave ciga rettes even though they are using medicine to treat physical symptoms. To cope with the psychological difficulties, it is necessary alter your behavior. When confronting the psychological difficulties associated with smoking keep the following sugges tions in mind: • Get rid of smoking related items. • Let your friends and family know you are quit ting so that you have a strong support system, or attend a cessation class. • Avoid people and places where you are tempt ed to smoke. • Try alternatives such as chewing gum, hard candy or sunflower seeds. • Find ways to keep your hands busy to distract you .

Although not conclusive, both studies found that patients receiving the formula called Bio-Rex 3000® lost more than twice as much weight as those in a control group on the same fat reduced diet. Neither group was instructed to decrease the amount of food they ate or to increase their exercise levels. An article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that you don’t have to decrease the amount of food you eat to lose weight, provided that you limit the fat. According to a spokesperson for Phillips Gulf Corporation, the exclusive North American distributor of Bio-Rex 3000, the company is considering additional studies in order to get federal approval to make pharmaceutical claims. Cur rently, weight loss claims for the Bio-Rex 3C500 supplement are limited. However, with the requisite approval, the com pany could say that Bio-Rex 3000 decreases sugar crav ings, increases metabolism and interferes with the body’s ability to produce excess fat. Bio-Rex 3000 is currently available as a dietary supple ment and plan in pharma cies and nutrition stores or by calling 1-800-729-8446. www.hcdsales.com Bio-Rex 3000 is avaiiable at: FAMILY CARE PHARMACY 606 S.
