Chef Clark Church does it again! That’s right, Garnish cafe won the title again this year with Church’s chowder. Way to go Clark!

The 5th Annual Wintersköl™ Soupsköl is a soup-cooking contest judged by the public to determine what restaurant has the best soup in town and it gives the winner bragging rights for the next year!  Last season, over 3,000 locals and tourists attended the event and every year it keeps growing in popularity.  It is designed to bring friendly competition to the restaurants within the Roaring Fork Valley.

The December 18th party will benefit individuals traveling to India to have stem cell treatments. Amanda Boxtel, Leah Roland and Edward Allen. Here is Edwards bio.

Edward (“Ed”) Allen 

I am a white male, 69 years of age in relativity good health. I live with my wife Carol in Denver, Colorado. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease approximately nine years ago, quite by accident. I was accompanying my wife on a doctor’s visit when she asked the doctor to examine my walking without swinging my arms. It didn’t take long for the doctor to conclude I had Parkinson’s disease. I was examined for a second opinion by Dr. Loren See Berger, who confirmed the original diagnoses.

I was put on a drug which was supposed to slow the progress of the disease and not treat any of the symptoms. It was at this time that I was asked to participate in double blind study to determine the optimum dosage for newly diagnosed patients and those with mild symptoms. The study lasted for nine months and it didn’t take long before I was exhibiting many of the classic symptoms of the disease. My face for the most part showed no expression, my joints were tight, I was lethargic and unmotivated. I experienced severe muscle contraction of my toes on the left foot, and progressing so that my left leg rolled over at the ankle, which made it painful to walk. Another symptom is that I have a tendency to fall asleep suddenly, no matter what I am doing at the time.

My goal by visiting Dr. Geeta Shroff in India would be to get rid of my medications and attain a better quality of life. My daughter Gabrielle Emerson has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over twenty years with her husband Todd and their two children, Johnson and Jacob. I am grateful for their support and hope that I will show improvement through receiving Human Embryonic Stem Cell Treatment.

I am thankful to be a recipient of funds raised from the Dec. 18^th Aspen Club and Spa event. My trip to India wouldn’t be possible without this additional financial support.

Sincerely,

Edward Allen

Our office is pleased to provide the first disc decompression table in Aspen, and is the only table in the Roaring Fork Valley. Disc Decompression Therapy is a revolutionary non­ surgical treatment for low back pain and disc herniation. It is safe. It is comfortable. It is effective. Check out the following pages to find out if Disc Decompression Therapy is right for you.

Disc decompression works by restoring proper function to an injured disc. This is done by producing a controlled, mechanical traction on the spine using the Triton DTS Decompression Table. During the “pull” injured discs are gently stretched apart, producing a suction force inside the disc. This draws disc buldges and herniation back into the center of the disc along with oxygen, water, nutrients, and other healing substances. The end result is a strong, healthy, properly functioning disc in about 86% of the patients. Disc decompression is a lot like disc rehabilitation. Not only does decompression minimize disc bulges and herniation, but it also restores the proper nutrient supply to the disc. This allows the disc to regain its proper motion, and essentially proper nutrient supply. If the decompression is successful, the disc remains healthy even after the decompression treatment is finished. Call 925-8940 for more information or to set up an appointment.
