Summer Camp 2010
Date Night
Summer Allergies
Greetings!

It's been a while since you've heard from us, and a lot has been going on.  You may not know it, but we have started a once a month date night at Play Cafe in Oakland.  Because we so appreciate your business, we wanted to give you a great date night at a great price.

We are also offering summer camp-all summer long! Camps this year are at Play Cafe, and they run from 9-12 every Wednesday, as well as Monday-Thursday for the weeks of 7/26 through 7/29 and 8/23- 8/26. As a convenience for working parents, we are also offering aftercare until 5pm each day that camp is held.

This season we are featuring an article on the causes and effects of allergies during the summer season and how we can become better prepared and equipped to prevent and treat them when they do arise.  Many people experience an increase in allergic reactions during the summer months because our exposure to pollen, dust and pet dander increase, partially because we spend more time enjoying the great outdoors during summer.  Although this is positive, it is also important to be able to identify, prevent and heal allergies during the summer months.  The articles in this month's newsletter help you to do just that!

We hope you are having a great summer so far and look forward to seeing you real soon!
 
Summer Camp is here at Dance Out Loud:  Every Wednesday in July and August and plus two week-long sessions.

Summer Allergies: Not Gone with the Wind!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sneeze Allergy Summer is a paradise of fun and we often find ourselves enjoying the great outdoors, a little extra vitamin D, more physical activity and playtime.  However, summertime can also be a time when allergies come out to play, too. 

I have year round allergies that sometimes, literally, shape my life.  And last weekend, at the annual Daisy Family campout at Bort Meadow, at least one child and at least one parent had to go home because of severe allergy reactions, and those who usually have mild allergies had a more intense reaction to the high number of allergens present right now. This was the first time for me, however, when I didn't feel the need to go home, probably because of my recent acupuncture treatments, herbal therapy and prescription medication.  We found some great sources of information about allergies, how to identify them, and what can be done both before and when they crop up, read below.

Also, our family friend and Chinese Medicine Doctor Nicholas Collins has been treating our family for colds and allergies for the past couple of years.  Here is sneak peek at an article we co-wrote on general immunity strategies, which will be published in it's entirety in the fall session.
