A 18 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 29, 1986 Hopeless pain sufferers need not experience those never-ending aches again, as acupuncture consul- tant Henry Jakyakody has the cure. Jakyakody spent three years in Asia at the Sri Lanka Clinic train- ing as an acupuncturist. The clinic ~ is the world leader in the field, and sees over 500 patients a day. Per- sonally, Jakyakody has logged over 6,000 clinical practise hours and 1,400 theory hours in the field of a cupuncture. Hé has practised in acupuncture for more than 10 years and receiv- ed the Fellowship of the Acupunc- ture Foundation awarded in Sri Lanka in 1976. He has also co- authored a book entitled 'Principles and Practises of Scientific Acupunc- ture.' Together with his wife, Jakyakody continually travels in Peking, Tokyo, Holland, London, Paris and Toronto to spread the message that acupuncture works. '"The western world is still quite sceptical concerning acupuncture, said Jakyakody,"' but it is a system of relieving pain that has been there for 4,000 years. I am trying to en- courage people to open their minds.' In an effort to do just that, Jakyakody has been travelling around Ontario for the past six months, setting up clinics in small towns, where he hopes people suf- 'The sterilized needles are sim-. ple, safe, inexpensive and effec- tive," Jakyakody stated. 'I have treated many, many young children fering from continual pain will try acupuncture. 'Most people who come to me are hopeless cases. They have gone the route through doctors, hospitals, medication and even surgery to no avail. When they come to me I give them relief in almost all cases,' said Jakyakody. He stated acupuncture should not only be thought of as a cure for smoking or obesity. "Acupuncture iss not a fad. It has a high success rate in the treatment and cure of epilepsy, chronic varicose veins, hearing loss, stroke complications, urinary problems, constipation and all pain conditions including back pain," he explained. Acupuncture works on the 26 vital ep WELW 3 oh ede vie There are nearly 700 acupuncture '"'points" which help feed the energy channels: Acupuncture centres on the weak area of the body and restores vital energy to strengthen and clean thé area for the force of health to return. Tiny needles, or pins, are placed at the pressure points and the From page 16 'As an Official Plan Amendment is required to permit such develop- ment the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate that the proposal meets the established criteria," said Short. "It must be recognized, however, that some estate residen- tial development will be permitted in the town." He went on to state that the town, therefore, has an obligation to evaluate each proposal against the criteria to ensure that any estate residential developments approved are in the best possible locations. In order to evaluate estate residential proposals, ten criteria are set. When an initial application was made on the land in 1981, the planning t recommended that it be denied because it did not meet with criteria set forth in three sections. Short indicated that with the present revisions to the pro- posal, and the comments made by the relevant agencies amongst whom the application was cir- culated, the negative impacts of the proposal appear to have been reduced 'On balance, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the positive at- Viewpoi~t I admit it. I followed the courtship of Andrew and Sarah as | did that of Prince Charles and Laay Di. I' wouldn't have missed either wedding for the world. It is almost like a fantasy world right out of my books from childhood and maybe that in itself is the fascination. I always wanted to be a princess .... preferably a fairy princess. Never quite made it, but you can dream can't you? So there is one royal bachelor | From page 17 though you might say the lot is left. At 22, Prince Edward is a bunch of bunk, you know and strikingly handsome man, _I'bet deep down you just love it whom I prophecy will be walk- all. ing down the aisle within the next few years. He is already supposedly "courting" a young lady from his university days. And when the next wedding comes, I will probably watch that too. And I will probably get just as mad at the press for their quips and puns and finger- pointing, but it doesn't matter. I'll be right there, along with many others, to applaud and en- joy all the glitter and pomp, and be wishing deep down that I was there too. Editorial 'Residential estate lots tributes: of the site combined with the minimum negative impacts of the proposal makes this one of the few sites in the town suitable for estate residential development," said Short. Burgess who has owned the pro- perty for the past 10 years, is pleas- ed that the application was passed and does not feel there will be any major problems when the matter reaches the regional level. He plans to sell the lots individually and will not construct the homes himself. When asked if there were any pre- requisits for the size of home a pro- spective buyer might construct, Burgess stated that although he was not sure, "Anyone who can afford to buy a lot of that size will be able to afford to build a suitable home."

The Whitby Jaycees will be hosting a Sports Dinner on August 7 with all proceeds going to Fair- view Lodge.

The trained acupuncturist treats every case differently using developed diagnostic skills to deter- mine proper treatment. According to Jakyakody, acupuncture has a ° 90-95 percent success rate. : "But I don't say guarantee," he warns. 'They want guarantees because the success rate is so high, but you have to give me time." Jakyakody will be setting up a clinic from July 31 to August 14 at the Oddfellows Hall, Ontario Street in Port Perry. For an appointment call his office at 666-9943 (Whitby). He previously operated a suc- cessful clinic in Cobourg and from this area will travel to small towns in Northern Ontario. If he does not get the response he is seeking in Canada, he admits that he will have to take his mission elsewhere. "I am spending a great deal of my time and my personal money on this project," said Jakyakody. 'My main aim is to try and convince other péople there is a system that works. If the response is good, I will wait and really push hard...I"m will- ing to give it one last try in Ontario," he added enthusiastically. The gentleman is a lawyer by pro. fession, having graduated from Osgoode Hall in Toronto. But he gave up this well paying profession to practise something he felt was more m to mankind. And if his quest fails? He plans to move to the United States where he will set up a practice in Washington D.C. "In the USA, they understand ye values of this (acupuncture)," said. 'They licence De just as they do others in the medical profession. In Canada there are 2,000 MD's and hundreds of chiro- practors who have trained about 30 hours in a hotel somewhere...no wonder people think acupuncture is not good...is for quacks." "I like to go with the come and get well and good-bye concept," smiled Jakyakody. 'People have only to try it and they will be relieved of all their pain forever."

Or at best it will leave the nagging thought, that they are not the best. That under other circumstances they might not have won. Or would they? They will never know, and again that is a shame. To reach the level of competition in the Com- monwealth Games, any athlete has to be good. They have to spend hours and hours every day for years and years to perfect their sport. They are not paid except in aching muscles and sweat. But they do it to reach their goal. To have this goal snatch- ed away must be heartbreaking. Even in its depleted form, the Games opened «ast Thursday, and the Canadian athletes were there in all their splendour. These young men and women have worked very hard for these Games and will be giving their best for their country. For that alone they deserve our appreciation and support. Besides, who can really tell whether they wouldn't have beaten competitors from boycotting countries anyway. For what it's worth, a doff of the Profile hat to them all, and to the government who rationalized the difference between politics and sports. At least that's the way it looks to me. daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Jim Lynde was united in marriage with Mr. Gery Polley, son of Mr. & Mrs. William Polley.
