Students get info at health fair

Northeastern State University hosted a health fair Tuesday to connect students and community members with life-changing information.

Health fairs are important because it gives people the opportunity to receive timely and accurate information on several health-related topics and issues, said VibaBody Slimmer representative Ron Fennell.

“We just want to educate people as to what’s available,” said Fennell. “There are so many things out there,Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? and people are overstimulated [with information received on television, the internet and other media outlets]. There’s just so much out there that people just want to shut down. They don’t want to search for answers because they’re overwhelmed. So we like to meet with people face to face and answer any questions and provide information.”

The VibaBody Slimmer is designed to help increase muscle strength, power and physical performance.

“It is vibrational therapy,” he said. “It’s for weight loss and all-over body toning.Where to buy or purchase plasticmoulds for precast and wetcast concrete?”

Our company has been selling commercial use [systems], but this one’s residential. What we found is if people start drinking Kangen water, [they] start experiencing better health. My allergies went away that I’ve had all of my life. I haven’t had an allergy shot or an allergy pill, and this going on my third season. My wife’s acid reflux cleared up. In Japan, about one in six households owns an ionizer. In the United States, I’d say it’s about one in 18,000. So nobody knows about it. It’s a simple fix.”

Because most people don’t come close to eating the USDA recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables, taking a Juice Plus capsule can help bridge the gap, Juice Plus Sales Coordinator Mary Kay White was telling attendees.

“It’s not classed as a supplement. It’s classed as food, and that’s why it has a nutritional label,” said White. “What most people do is take of the fruit in the morning with a glass of water and two of the veggies in the evening with a glass of water. The purple one can be taken anytime with a glass of water. You always need to drink more water with it to reconstitute the nutrients to get the most benefit.”

White added the effectiveness of the dehydrated fruit and vegetable capsules has been discussed and in over 20 medical journals.

“We’ve [Juice Plus] been published in more than 20 medical journals as to the efficacy of Juice Plus,” she said. “It strengthens your immune system. It strengthens your DNA. It reduces your oxidated stress. It increases the antioxidants in your blood stream and a lot of other good stuff. Our home office is in Memphis, Tenn., but we have offices all over the world.”

Health First Chiropractic Assistant Ginger Allen said the mission of the Tahlequah chiropractic clinic is to “change people’s lives.”

“Your spinal column actually houses, as we all know, your spinal cord, and so if anything is going wrong in your spinal column, it affects your spinal cord, which in turn effects your entire body,” she said. “Symptoms can be anything from hemorrhoids to difficult breathing to allergies to colds to hay fever to headaches to nervousness, and I even think depression. It all can be traced back to your spinal column. What we want to get out there is that you don’t have to live on prescription drugs. What you can do is find out about chiropractic and let the body allow itself to heal itself, instead of relying on prescription medications.”

Visitors to the health fair, staged in the University Center,Choose from our large selection of cableties, also received information on making healthy choices, especially when the decision will directly affect another person.

NSU HIV/AIDS Prevention Coordinator Nikki Murray said the goal of the fair was to “hand out as many condoms as we can” to save lives.

“By doing that, we reduce the chances for HIV and STIs, which are STDs today,” she said. “It’s called STI, which stands for sexually transmitted infections. The [term] infection actually encompasses more and is a better definition.”

Murray said sex education remains an important part of an individual’s personal growth and development.

“Students think oral sex is not sex, and we’re seeing more STIs in the mouth,” she said. “I think the internet may be part of the issue [of wrong information] and also friend-to-friend conversations. I do a lot of sex education. I had a girl whose parents won’t talk to her about sex. She says, ‘I don’t know what it is. I don’t know what oral sex is.’ I’ve done a lot of HIV testing this semester alone. We went from maybe 20 [tests] last semester, and we’re up to around 200 this semester. So knowing your status is a big deal.”

Other health-related entities or agencies at the fair included the Wagoner Community Hospital, Cherokee County Health Department, Hope Hospice, Cherokee Nation Healthy Nation, Cherokee Nation Diabetes, Eagle Med, and several others.
