What is the best pre-hospital treatment for a rattlesnake bite? Find out at unique symposium June 23-24
RODEO, NM — When treating venomous bites from our local rattlesnakes, both in people and pets, the list of what not to do is longer than the list of what to do.
Experts agree that three pre-hospital actions can save lives: 1) immediately seeking medical care or calling 911, 2) removing watches and jewelry, collars or reins, or anything else that restricts blood flow, and 3) keeping the affected area at the same level or above the heart.
When treating bites from rattlesnakes and other pitvipers, experts agree you should not apply suction, heat, pressure or turniquettes, and you definitely should not administer Benadryl, aspirin, steroids, or antibiotics. Electrical stimulation treatments (car batteries) don't work, and cutting into the bite can lead to infection and permanent tissue damage.
Reiki Healing Circle June 8, 2023

This is a reiki experience where participants sit in a circle and share their Reiki energy with each other and then silently send reiki to other people and/or situations as each person wishes. It will be more along the lines of a Reiki meditation. There is no “hands on” component. The joint sharing of Reiki can be a powerful experience. As we treat, so we are treated with the Reiki energy.
9:30 am - 10:05 am at the Lotus Center; 211 W. Broadway. Cost is by donation. For more information contact (575) 956-6647

Silver City -- The next meeting of the monthly "Life Cafe" takes place Thursday, May 25, at 4:00 pm at the Silver City Public Library, when Siri Dharma Khalsa, former Hospice staff member, will discuss end of life planning documents, such as living wills, advance directives and do-not-resuscitate orders, and how to ensure that they are honored.
The monthly, 90-minute life cafe is free, and facilitated by Lisa Jimenez, certified death doula and practitioner of Shamanic healing arts.
"This month we'll be taking a deep dive into planning for end of life, and helping participants understand their own values and their personal wishes for their end of life care," said Jimenez. "Each of us has our own idea of what a good death looks like and planning for it now allows us to live more fully in the present. Having a solid plan helps ensure that our wishes will be honored, so that we can have a beautiful end of life experience, not only for ourselves but for our loved ones as well."
Jimenez added that there is no intention to lead people to specific actions, conclusions, products or services.
