Suite E, Columbia, S.C. 29205 j L? ! e Parents al; Leaving home is exciting to a teenager but it can mean a difficult adjustment for parents. Whether a son or daughter goes away to college, marries or starts that first full-time job, leaving home means being out on their own in a new environment that treats them like young adults. Meanwhile parents remain in the same surroundings, living the same routine, but without their offspring. They have to adjust to their new "freedom" and the lonliness and despair that mav result ? feelings psychologists refer to as the "empty nest" or "emptiness" syndrome. "The children have met a lot of the parents' needs in the past, particularly their need to be needed," said Dr. Roger Bowersock, associate director of USC's Counseling and Human Development Onter "Parent ? that's the role you lose. The children don't need you anymore, or not as much as they did. You don't have the involvement, so you have to find something else to occupy your time." Other roles ? particularly as employee and spouse ? must become stronger for the parents to make the emotional adjustments, Bowersock said.

The biggest adjustment, which lany couples haven't an cipatcd, is the changc in their larriage, Johnson pointed out. She discovered that commnication roles must change hen couples find themselves lone again. "When the children leave, it's ailed 'honesty time.' And that's :ary," Johnson said. Situations le husband or wife has been able 3 manipulate through the hildren suddenly must be dealt 'ith head-on, she said. "It's a crucial adjustment for a larriage to make." Those who accept and make lat transition from pcrson;x>use-parent back to personoouse often find themselves ager to take on other challenges, ohnson said, but they never give p their need for parenting.

"That should be a warning of quackery," said Holly Knight, a nurse-practitioner at USC's Thomas Moore Medical Clinic. "If you can't follow it for more than 30 days, that should tell you it isn't safe." The weight loss guaranteed by such products as Herbal Life are suspected to result from laxative-like substances. "Herbal Life has laxatives in it," said Bailey. "Shakley's products have nothing like that. Only natural ingredients." Knight said claiming to have only natural ingredients really doesn't mean a lot. There are certain natural products that act as laxatives, such as fiber. "Most of those health food packet diet plans will cause diarrhea, despite what they claim." Lambart said what Herbal Life contains is a natural root designed to cleanse the system. "There are no laxatives in it," he said. "It just rids the body of impurities."
