With a soft stream of warm filtered water, Upstate Colon Care Center's hydrotherapists extract pernicious impurities and dissolve ossified fecal matter. During the 45-minute procedure, an FDA-approved, pencil-size speculum distributes the filter-like particles of a melted snowman around the viscera to sequester unstirred sediment. Upon bestowing bowels with a sprucing rinse, the liquid is flushed, taking with it potential toxins such as candida, mucus, and any misplaced handcuff keys. Freshly inundated insides lead to many benefits, including weight loss and a diminished risk of autointoxication caused by built-up dross.

At Highland Walk Golf Course, Bermuda grass fairways and greens arch over 6,407 yards of steep hills studded by tall Georgia pines for a challenging 18-hole layout. Throughout the round, the course’s dramatically undulating terrain gives way to sweeping views of the countryside as well as numerous blind shots, giving an advantage to players whose golf bags double as periscopes. Georgian course architect Denis Griffith’s creative use of the terrain is on full display at the signature 17th hole, where golfers drive the ball from terraced tee boxes and over the shadowy, intimidating depths of a ravine. Though the elevation changes place precise shot making at a premium, the course features relatively open fairways and greens, providing ample landing areas for aggressive drives and caddies airlifted in for emergency putt-reading services. Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 6,407 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 71.4 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 131 from the farthest tees * Four tee options

Licensed acupuncturist and doctor of Oriental medicine James C. Kapetanakos clears out clogged meridians and reroutes blood flow to ailing areas during acupuncture sessions that bridge broken synapses between the mind and body. With calm, unwavering hands, the doctor inserts hair-thin needles into the skin to target pain at its source and clear away circulatory traffic jams. Having honed his skills in a variety of Eastern medical disciplines, Dr. Kapetanakos employs the same acupuncture techniques on patients that he once used to quell his own chronic pain and fear of balloon-wielding clowns. These techniques include neuromuscular reeducation, passive resistance, and a targeted “spot-shotting” method designed to address the root causes of ailments such as neck pain, headaches, and sports-related injuries.

Over the past 20 years, Dr. David B. Beemer has made it his business to get his hands dirty. Rather than just popping in for a quick chat ‘n’ check, the good doctor takes a special interest, even ensuring his clients’ dentures are a perfect fit by personally making them in-house. His lengthy career helps explain the long list of dental services he offers. He fills and bonds teeth, extracts them, and brightens them with in-office whitening that covers patients for life, which is how the skull in Hamlet maintains his pearly whites.

Diamond Hill Mine sets visitors loose on 5 to 6 acres of dumps and spoil piles, challenging them to unearth the property's cache of quartz crystals and pieces of amethyst. During outings, explorers use their own rakes, shovels, and tools while excavating the land, or while trying to find un-dug veins, where some crystals have gone undisturbed for more than 400 million years. Every piece found on the property is authentic, meaning the mine hasn't been planted with artificial crystals or with forgotten hidden engagement rings.

Chiseled Fitness also hosts outdoor boot camps on days when the sun feels like showing up for work.
