You Might Have

NEUROPATHY You may be experiencing symptoms of

SCIATICA

Sciatica will affect up to 50% of people at some point in their life. It is often the result of the aging process, STENOSIS, disc bulges/ herniations or trauma to the spine which can cause the soft tissue and bones in the spine to harden or grow excessively. These changes may inflame muscles, narrow and put pressure on the spinal nerve roots causing symptoms described above. Sciatica is seen in any age group but most often greatly affects adults older than age 50. Other causes include piriformis syndrome.

Prolonged pain without treatment could even lead to NEUROPATHY. We utilize a completely NEW TREATMENT PROTOCOL that may eliminate most if not all your pain and symptoms. It’s safe, FDA approved and highly effective for most people.

EXPLORING HOLISTIC HEALTH PRACTICES

FOREVER YOUNG

BY NATALIE SHORT

T

oo often, patients think that physician-prescribed treatments or medications are all that can be done to combat chronic pain. Perhaps you’ve seen your primary care practitioner and every specialist in the directory, but you’re still experiencing some discomfort. There are several supplemental therapies you could turn to that have been shown to relieve pain—yoga, massage therapy, nutrition counseling, and meditation, to name a few.

While some people may be skeptical of tai chi and acupuncture, both practices that originated in ancient China, many doctors recommend them for pain relief and prevention. And removing foods that contribute to inflammation like sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, alcohol, and processed meats and carbs, can significantly reduce pain and swelling. We recommend consulting a professional to get a health assessment and to see if any alternative therapies may help you. Here are a few local resources:

Tai Chi Tai chi is a form of exercise that originated as a martial art. As you move through a series of gentle, low-

impact poses, you are encouraged to practice deep breathing and focus on how your body feels in each movement. For this reason, tai chi is often described as “meditation in motion.”

A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that tai chi practice reduced the risk of falls in its subjects by about 47%, and the Arthritis Foundation says it has been shown to reduce joint pain and improve range of motion. Other benefits of tai chi are improved balance, flexibility, and strength, and the incorporation of meditation and deep breathing into the practice has been said to improve focus, cognitive capacity, and mental health.

Many senior centers host tai chi classes as part of their monthly activity schedules, such as the Orchard Park (70 Linwood Avenue; 662-6452) and Amherst (370 John James Audubon Parkway; 6363050) senior centers. So, look out for tai chi classes at your local senior center or gym, ask your doctor to recommend instructors, or check out these locations: Taoist Tai Chi Society of the USA taoisttaichi.org/locations/buffalocenter Taoist Tai Chi is an international organization with locations in nineteen different countries.

DINING OUT GLUTEN-FREE

BY CHRISTINE A. SMYCZYNSKI

M

y daughter had been having bothersome symptoms for a few years, including skin rashes and gastrointestinal upsets.

When she was living on her own and making her own meals while attending grad school this past year, she eliminated gluten from her diet to see if that would help. The symptoms went away, and she was also able to lose over forty pounds in the process!

Results won’t be the same for everyone, of course, but if you are sensitive to gluten, preparing glutenfree food at home is a good option, as you can easily find gluten-free foods and ingredients at most grocery stores. (Wegmans has a particularly extensive gluten-free section, with many vegetarian and vegan options, as well.)

Cooking for yourself is great, but most people enjoy dining out from time to time, which is not always easy to do when you need to eat glutenfree or have other dietary restrictions.

Fortunately for those who are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease, where even the smallest amount of

gluten makes sufferers seriously ill, there are a few totally gluten-free restaurants and bakeries in the area, as well as many others that offer gluten-free menus in addition their regular fare.

Totally gluten-free Kith & Kin Bakeshop & Bistro 5850 South Transit Road, Lockport 471-3305, kkbakeshop.com Open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m.

This restaurant is operated by Tim and Lisa Jermyn, who have three children with celiac disease. My daughter loves this place; she can

order anything on the menu, because everything is gluten-free. She can enjoy treats like chicken fingers, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and even a fish fry (Friday only). The menu also includes some dairy-free and vegan items. Bakery items include an assortment of breads, pies, cookies, muffins, and cakes.

Vin-Chet Bakery 2178 Kensington Avenue, Snyder 716-839-0871, www.vinchet.com Open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

This 100 percent gluten-free facility is a great place to get gluten-free

FOREVER YOUNG breads, rolls, cakes, and pastries. I have ordered birthday cakes from here and they are really good! You can also order to-go subs, sandwiches, panini, breakfast sandwiches, pizzas, and salads. There are couple small tables located in the front of the shop if you want to dine in.

Feel-Rite, and Lexington Co-op, as well as a number of local restaurants.

The public can buy freshly made and frozen, breads, rolls, and muffins during open hours.

Restaurants offering glutenfree and vegan options

Brian’s Best Gluten-Free Bakery 247 Cayuga Road, Cheektowaga 431-0200, briansbestgf.com.

Open to public Wednesday 10 a.m.–2 p.m., Friday 11 a.m.–5 p.m., and the second Saturday of the month 1–3 p.m.

Tina Syracuse began baking gluten-free baked goods at home back in 1999, when her son, Brian, was diagnosed with celiac disease.

From this home baking, the family business was launched. Located in the back of an industrial office complex overlooking the airport, this small wholesale bakery supplies breads, rolls, and other products to local retailers, like Dash’s Market,

While most restaurants have some gluten-free options, there can be a danger of cross contamination. It’s best to call ahead and talk to the chef if you are in doubt. For example, does the restaurant have a dedicated gluten-free fryer? Does it use separate pans/utensils/oven when preparing gluten-free dishes? Do food preparers change gloves before preparing gluten-free foods?

One favorite is Wok & Roll (5467 Sheridan Drive, Williamsville, 6318880, thewokandroll.com). There is a separate gluten-free section on the menu with about ten different dishes; the chicken lettuce wraps are awesome. Griffon Gastropub (four locations; thegriffonpub.com)

features salads, burgers, entrees, and more. Items that can be prepared gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian are clearly marked, and the serving staff is very knowledgeable about how the food is prepared. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (301 Franklin Street, Buffalo, 880-1677; dinosaurbarbque. com) has an extensive gluten-free menu and its website lists possible allergens in dishes prepared from their regular menu. There are many other restaurants in the area offering gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian items; call ahead or check menus online when picking out a place to dine.

MEET FOREVER YOUNG HEALTH WRITER CATHERINE STACK

BY NATALIE SHORT Forever Young writer Catherine Stack with her husband, Pat. Photo courtesy of Catherine Stack

C

atherine Stack, ND, CNM has been working as a nurse in Buffalo for thirty-three years. In 1987, Stack earned a Master of Science degree in midwifery, becoming a certified nurse midwife, and a Doctor of Naturopathy degree in 2009. She currently works as a certified nurse midwife at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, and a wellness practitioner out of her own practice, Journey II Health, opened in 2007. Stack is a certified colon hydrotherapist, and author of two books: Free Yourself from a Constipated Life, published in 2013, and PUSH: Labor and Delivery from the Inside Out, published in June of last year.

At Journey II Health, Stack offers wellness consultations and works with her patients on nutrition and supplement plans, as well as administering colonics and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. At a wellness consultation, Stack leads patients through an indepth look at their medical history and takes a guided approach to improving overall wellness, including nutrition plans and supplements.

Stack says of her practice, “You have a primary care physician who is going to look at your labs and draw your bloodwork and make sure nothing crazy’s going on. I’ll come in and

fine-tune the nutrition because, in a fifteen-minute appointment, how much can they actually go over with you?” Stack says she does not want to serve as a primary care physician for her patients; in fact, she requires all patients see their primary care doctor and women to see their OBGYN once a year in order to be a patient with her.

Stack is in a unique position because, although naturopathic doctors do not have prescribing capabilities in New York State, her certification as a nurse midwife allows her to write prescriptions for her patients. Stack says most of her prescribing is for

bio-identical hormone replacement to treat hormone imbalances, usually for women going through menopause.

“Menopause can become so physically uncomfortable, and emotionally uncomfortable, that prescribing the hormonal compounded medications really can help people get through that time in their life,” she says. The hormones are administered in cream form, and Stack prescribes them through Pine Pharmacy, which is known for their compounding capabilities.

As a naturopathic doctor, Stack has attended numerous functional medicine conferences,

Stack is the author of Free Yourself from a Constipated Life and PUSH: Labor and Delivery from the Inside Out, both available on amazon.com

which emphasize treating patients holistically and examining how the body systems interact.

Stack particularly believes in the effectiveness of hormone therapy in mitigating health issues beyond just the endocrine system. Stack says hormone imbalances can negatively affect one’s reproductive systems, sleep quality, and mental health conditions including contributing to anxiety and depression.

Before opening Journey II Health, Stack had owned a supplement shop in Lewiston. As she started to see more and more patients complaining of constipation and similar symptoms, she became acutely interested in gut health. She couldn’t find a supplement that was a cure-all for gastro-intestinal ailments, so she got certified in colon hydrotherapy, a treatment that gently flushes out the bowel using filtered water. Stack then began performing colonics at Journey II Health. “So many people are constipated,” she says. “What they don’t realize is that’s why their brain feels foggy, that’s why they feel tired. People don’t appreciate the gut’s connection to their whole being.” Stack says colonics can

decrease bloating and constipation, reduce symptoms of IBS, and even clear the skin, improve alertness, and reduce symptoms of depression.

“I believe in that therapy 100 percent. I’ve seen it change people’s lives dramatically, and I believe it also has helped so many people stay out of surgery or pain,” Stack says.

“It’s not a miracle cure, but anybody who’s gone through a series of colonics with me will tell you they’re much better for it.” Not only does a colonic flush out waste clinging to the walls of the colon and clogging up the digestive tract, but the influx of purified water is absorbed through the colon walls, a process which Stack calls an “IV by osmosis.” This absorption in itself leaves the patient feeling more hydrated and alert.

Though Stack has been a women’s health provider for most of her career, Journey II Health has quite a few male patients. “Before I opened this place, I figured it would be ninety percent female, just because I feel like men are not comfortable with the idea of a colonic,” Stack says. “But it’s about forty percent men and sixty percent women. That was eye-opening for me.”

Stack’s experience with holistic health and wellness has lent itself to a particular passion for promoting longevity. “Quality of life is, to me, the key to longevity. Happy people tend to live a lot longer.” Stack spoke about particular stresses that older populations may face, such as maintaining their own health, worrying about children transitioning into adulthood and moving out of the family home, and perhaps even providing support for their own aging parents. Stack takes all of these mental and emotional stressors into account when seeing a patient for a wellness consultation.

Stack also couldn’t resist emphasizing the importance of two supplements that aging populations should be particularly aware of— vitamins D and B12. She says vitamin D is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and suggests that everyone have their vitamin D levels checked at least once a year.

According to Stack, vitamin D levels should be between 60 and 100 ng/L. As for B12, Stack recommends aiming for 800-1100 ng/L. “Low B12, especially over the age of fifty, has a lot of symptoms in common with dementia,” Stack says. “One of the biggest misdiagnoses of dementia is really a low B12 level.” People who have low B12 levels report feeling more tired and experiencing foggy thinking. Stack says B12 promotes higher senses of focus, clarity, energy, and memory.

For more detailed information about Stack, Journey II Health, and the services she offers, check out her website, journeyiihealth.com, or call 703-0626 for more information.

n the past couple years, three little letters have made a big splash in the health and wellness marketplace: CBD. Products containing this “miracle” ingredient seem to be sold at every corner store, from CBD-centric boutiques and headshops to hair salons and gas stations. It’s in everything from gummy bears to dog shampoo. Everyone, it seems, has jumped on the CBD bandwagon.

What is CBD? Let’s start at the root of CBD—the hemp plant. Hemp and marijuana are the same species of the cannabis family but cultivated differently to produce two distinct plants with separate purposes. The primary difference between hemp and marijuana, besides legalities that vary state by state, is the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the psychoactive chemical that makes people high—that is present in each strain: marijuana has more THC, while hemp must have below .3%.

The oft-misunderstood close association between the two plants resulted in both being banned in the United States since 1937, but, over time, laws have changed.

Some states have begun to legalize

medical marijuana. The 2018 Farm Bill removed industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, and since then, the amount of farmland licensed to grow hemp has quadrupled to more than 511,000 acres—many of those right here in Western New York.

While hemp has been cultivated over thousands of years for its strong, fast-growing fibers used to make things like paper, ropes, and sails, its medicinal use is what’s behind the recent explosion of popularity in the United States. The healing compound extracted from hemp is called cannabidiol—or CBD for short—and its seemingly endless list of potential health benefits has sparked interest in folks from athletes to the elderly.

To create health and wellness products with CBD, the compound

is extracted from the hemp plant and then diluted in a natural carrier oil like coconut or hempseed oil. It is most commonly swallowed as an infused tincture, food, or beverage, or rubbed on the skin as part of a lotion or salve.

How it works Dr. Laszlo Mechtler, medical director at DENT Neurologic Institute, director of DENT’s Cannabis Clinic, and chief of neuro-oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, explains how researchers currently believe CBD helps people and animals feel better.

“We have this system in our body called the endocannabinoid system that controls stress, healing, and behavior in many ways,” says Dr. Mechtler. “We think CBD changes the

so we can stay one-hundred percent current with the ones we partner with and know them inside and out. If we had twenty, we couldn’t do that.”

physical properties of the connection of what we call protein-to-receptor, so it indirectly affects how the endocannabinoid system works. A lot of people think we have a deficiency in this system that we are improving and stabilizing by introducing CBD. Instability in this system may lead to migraines, IBS, insomnia, and other ailments.”

Bringing CBD to WNY consumers Here in Western New York, many entrepreneurs have been motivated by their own experiences with CBD use and have begun to craft their own lines of CBD products to meet growing customer demand.

One such evangelist is Glenna Colaprete-Hudson, owner and CEO of CBD Best Oil based in Rochester.

“I have nerve damage and was searching for a holistic solution for chronic pain,” Colaprete-Hudson said.

“My husband is from Colorado, so we go often, and that’s where I discovered CBD tincture before it was available in New York. It helped the pain, but I didn’t like the taste, so I developed a better-tasting tincture with a few different flavors like lemon, spearmint, and tangerine. Then I expanded into salves for shoulder pain. Then my friends and family wanted some. Now,

we have forty-two products and two stores and have been online since 2016.”

At first, Colaprete-Hudson sourced her CBD from two farmers and a scientist-led lab in Colorado, but she wanted to have a New York-based supply so she could keep the business local and control the quality at every stage of the process. She now has a hemp farm just south of Rochester that uses only organic farming practices, and she enlists third-party testing for purity and potency with results published for public review.

That kind of rigorous quality control is a fundamental factor that helps Brenda Boyle, district manager for Feel-Rite Fresh Markets, decide which CBD brands to carry in Feel-Rite’s five stores among the hundreds of CBD companies knocking at her door. Of the growing number of options, FeelRite carries products from just four established manufacturers.

“The companies have to have complete transparency with certificates of analysis for every batch,” explains Boyle. “We have to have the confidence that they’re doing their job of protecting you. Consumers are becoming more educated and seeking out more info themselves, and it makes a difference in their choices.

We limit the number of brands we carry

Unlike many trends, CBD products aren’t confined to one age group or lifestyle. Colaprete-Hudson says her customers range from a one-yearold that went from having fifty-three seizures a day down to fifteen, and her grandma, who is 102 and uses CBD lotion.

Justin Schultz, owner of Buffalobased Bison Botanics, which produces all New York State-grown hemp products sold at over forty stores locally, says he also sees parents who are seeking alternative treatments for seizures and behavioral issues. He also helps customers who are looking to treat pets for separation anxiety, fear of fireworks, and joint relief for older dogs; Bison even offers lower-dose supplements for smaller dogs.

But, CBD may not be for everyone.

“It should not be used in pregnancy as far as we know, but we don’t know enough,” says Dr. Mechtler. “It may be used in kids under eighteen only for specific diagnoses like epilepsy, autism, severe irritable bowel syndrome; otherwise I’d stay away from it in children. Similarly, I have patients who are 103 and we keep an eye on them. Research is also needed on how they work with certain drugs like blood thinners.”

Dr. Jennifer McVige, a boardcertified physician of pediatric neurology, adult and pediatric headache and neuroimaging at DENT, says she’d prefer that kids be at least eleven or twelve—old enough to describe how they feel—before parents consider giving them CBD. She adds that while her adult and adolescent patients use CBD, and DENT even manufactures its own line of CBD products, as a physician, she can’t write a prescription for it.

“It’s illegal to prescribe CBD in New York State,” She explains. “It is a legal

CBD MAY SPELL RELIEF

While clinical research into the effectiveness of CBD is still in its infancy in the US, international studies and plenty of anecdotal evidence support CBD’s ability to provide relief from dozens of conditions. Here are just a few.

• Joint, muscle, and nerve pain • Chronic inflammation • Insomnia • Anxiety • Depression • Epilepsy and seizures • Multiple sclerosis symptoms • Acne • PTSD • Burns and wounds • Irritable bowel syndrome • Cancer treatment side effects • Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline • High blood pressure

FOREVER YOUNG substance. You can fly with it and cross state lines, but it’s still illegal to prescribe it. Medical cannabis can be prescribed with CBD; we just have to state the ratio of THC to CBD. But not CBD by itself. And if I can’t prescribe it, I can’t research it.”

Cautions and considerations The only FDA-approved prescription drug that contains CBD is called Epidiolex, which is intended to treat seizures associated with LennoxGastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, two rare, severe childhoodonset epilepsies.

The lack of federal oversight also means there aren’t established guidelines or testing requirements to control what actually ends up in CBD products sold to customers.

“The problem with the CBD program is that it’s not regulated,” says Dr. Mechtler. “Because of that, studies show two major problems with some CBD products. First, there is either no CBD in them or inadequate doses, or too much THC in them. The presence of THC is a big deal if you’re drug tested—you could lose your job.

Secondly, tests find contaminants like insecticides, pesticides, heavy metals, and fungus. Products are a hit or miss, and mostly a miss. Consumers have to look for third-party documented testing by a reputable lab.”

Dr. McVige adds that good quality CBD is expensive to produce, and customers should be especially skeptical about how much CBD, if any, is in low-cost products.

“A decent bottle of CBD tincture should be $80-150,” she says. “It is cost-prohibitive for a lot of people, but it’s important that people demand quality products.”

Even with high-quality CBD products from reliable sources, Drs. Mechtler and McVige point out that doctors and scientists still don’t fully understand everything there is to know about CBD. Because the FDA hasn’t begun to regulate CBD, they don’t approve or fund its research, either. Doctors and CBD enthusiasts in the United States

rely on research conducted overseas, primarily in Spain, the Netherlands, and Israel, where formal studies have begun to suss out specifics about the compound’s efficacy.

Given the shortage of research and FDA oversight, Dr. Mechtler cautions consumers to be wary of promises made on many CBD product labels.

“I’d be very cautious if you see outrageous medical claims about cures,” he says. “Even if there are testimonials on their websites. It only helps symptoms. When patients come to me and ask about cannabis to treat something, I will not treat someone if they say they’re stopping their medical treatment. It’s an addition to mainstream medicine. Your primary physician should also be aware of whatever you’re taking. Too many people feel that over-the-counter supplements and meds are safe, but too many things or too much of them can cause problems.”

Reputable CBD product manufacturers and the medical community are eager for FDA regulation, which they believe will weed out poor-quality products and open the door for the kind of research that can help improve patient outcomes.

“When we can study CBD, I’d like a pure consistent product that we know everyone is getting the same thing,” says McVige. “I’d love to study it in autism, seizures, and concussions.

The first two usually come with a huge cocktail of drugs with heavy side effects, whereas CBD and THC have significantly fewer. For pain patients, we think we can get people to lower doses of opioids if we can also prescribe CBD.” FY Devon Dams-O'Connor writes about local farms, food, and health for Buffalo Spree and Forever Young.
