Moving Can be a Happy Surprise

ost struggle with the idea that mom needs more care but absolutely doesn’t want to leave her home and memories. This ticking time-bomb can have you and the rest of your family on edge and the anxiety can erode your relationship.
Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine, for a moment, the peace of mind that would come from knowing mom is being cared for 24/7 and she is happy! Now, read the message below, and give us a call to see how we can help your family.
Dear Eldermom, I can’t thank you enough for walking me through the entire process of moving my mom from living on her own to an assisted-living home. As you know, I originally called looking for in-home care, but 8 months later we ended up having to move mom into assisted living. As expected, mom went kicking and screaming and wouldn’t even speak to my sister or myself. It hasn’t even been 90 days since she moved in, and when I went to see her last week she was so happy playing bingo with her new friends, she told me to sit on the couch and wait because she wanted to win one more prize! (If you only knew what an introvert she has been her whole life!) Yesterday, she told me how happy she was and “wished she would have made this move years ago!” Cheryl, if not for your education, assistance, experience and caring heart, my mom would not be this happy today. My husband and I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for our family.
Independent Living? Assisted Living? Living with Me (or my brother/sister)? Ask the experts!

elanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer. If detected before it spreads, 98 percent of patients survive at least five years, according to the National Cancer Institute. But if the cancer spreads before treatment begins, the five-year survival rate plummets to 16 percent. Fewer than 40 percent of patients with advanced melanoma live beyond even one year. But those numbers may be changing soon. “Before 2010, we had no FDA approved drugs that had demonstrated survival benefit,” said Dr. Alan Bryce, lead investigator of the Arizona trial. “Now we have four. And we think, we’re hopeful, that in the next few months or a couple of years, we’re gonna have a few more,” Bryce told Luminate. One of these, an
immunotherapy drug known as MK-3475, recently completed clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic with a oneyear survival rate of 81 percent—striking when compared to the current rate of 40 percent. The FDA still needs to approve the drug before it can be sold which, according to Bryce, may take another six to 18 months. MK-3475 helps to prevent cancer cells from suppressing the patient’s

Terry's Tips
Celebrate Success During my 16 years as a trainer, one of the most confusing things I hear is, "When I lose the weight, I am going to eat _____." That blank has been filled with the most artery clogging, fattening, energy zapping foods on the planet. I, of course, raise an eyebrow and suggest: 1 Don't give food so ●
much power! Don't go on a diet so restrictive (unless it’s doctor's orders) that you long for your next donut… or five. If there is a high-calorie treat you love, enjoy it during your weight-loss process. Have one serving twice or so a month.
2 Celebrate with meaning. ●
I see many of my clients making great progress, but looking like MC Hammer dressed them (Google him). Reward yourself with an outfit in a size or two smaller.
3 Do something active! ● Treat yourself to a hike up north, or bike a new trail, or try kayaking. Because what sense does it make to celebrate not being a bump on a log, by sitting and eating? You know the answer!
immune system, helping the body to fight back. “The cancer cell has something called PDL-1, and that interacts with something on an immune cell called PD-1... Like a key and keyhole, they have to fit together for the immune system to be suppressed. [MK-3475] blocks that interaction,” said Bryce. The FDA has designated the drug a “breakthrough therapy” which will fast-track the approval process. And, MK-3475 is available now through an Expanded Access Program. “The drug is provided for free by the manufacturer, and the FDA mandates some extra restrictions,” Bryce said. Patients can only participate if they have already tried every approved treatment. The Expanded Access Program is available in Arizona only at the Mayo Clinic because of its involvement in the clinical trials.

Fear Not the Summer Barbecue
Q:
I love summer barbecues but fear it will hinder my weight loss. What do you suggest to stay on track? he summer pastime of outdoor cookouts makes for great times with family and friends, but you are right to be concerned. Did you know an average barbecue meal can easily exceed 1,500 calories? That is almost an entire day’s worth of calories in one meal!
T
That is the bad news. The good news is you can make some easy changes and survive barbecue season while staying on track with your weight loss. 1. Choose the right meat Grilling is actually a healthy way to cook meat; just be sure to choose lean cuts instead of the traditional high-fat choices like burgers and hot dogs.
• Choose chicken, lean cuts of beef or pork • Use low-fat dressing for a marinade • Gotta have a burger? Use extra-lean beef or lean ground turkey • Make a dry rub and top with a fruit salsa • Grill up some of your favorite fish
2. Don't be sabotaged by sides Instead of the usual fat- and carb-laden side dishes, try:
• Grilled veggies (like squash or asparagus) or veggie kabobs • Replace the mayo in your salads with low-fat mayo or olive oil • Serve a mixed salad with a light vinaigrette • Put out a fresh veggie tray with a low-fat dip
3. Ease up on the drinks A margarita can quickly turn into three or four. Beverages can play a major role in weight gain.

Parents Still Resisting Cancer-fighting Vaccine
G
By Amanda Niemerg
etting vaccinated against a virus that causes cancer in more than 30,000 people per year might seem like a no-brainer, yet pre-teens and teens are still undervaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for almost all cervical, vaginal, penile and oral cancers in the United States. In 2010 (the year with the most recent data), nearly 4,000 women died from cervical cancer. Only 32 percent of girls in the United States have received all three recommended doses and less than half the girls—and far fewer boys—received even one dose, according to the Journal of Infectious Diseases. This rate puts us far behind developing countries like Rwanda where more than 90 percent of girls are

fully vaccinated. Developing countries, however, host 84 percent of cervical cancer occurrences. Why Parents Hesitate Despite the fact that HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States, with most sexually active people contracting the virus at some point in their lives, some parents are still reluctant to vaccinate their children. A communication campaign has helped increase the number of teens vaccinated somewhat, but numbers are still low and boys still lag. The vaccine was approved for boys in 2009, two years after being approved for girls. In a 2012 CDC survey, parents who did not intend to vaccinate their daughters gave the following reasons: LUMINATE | JULY 2014
• Vaccine not needed or not recommended • Safety concerns • Lack of knowledge about the vaccine or the disease • Child is not sexually active Dr. Melanie Patton at Gavilan Peak Family Practice said she finds parents of boys are not knowledgeable about the vaccine. “They might not be educated that [HPV] causes other types of cancer besides cervical,” Patton said. The Stigma of Sex Another barrier is the idea that the vaccine prevents against an STD and it’s tough for parents to contemplate their child’s future sexual activity. “Some [parents] thought that [the vaccine] encourages sexual activity which, studies show, is not the case,” Patton said. The vaccine works best if the subject is fully vaccinated before becoming sexually active. “The vaccine is inactive against HPV types once the patient has already been exposed,” said Patton.
When to Vaccinate
HPV vaccines work best when all three doses are given and have time to prompt an immune response before the subject becomes sexually active. So, optimally, girls and boys should be vaccinated at age 11 or 12. Three doses are recommended over six months. CDC recommends the second dose be given one to two months after the first and the third dose be given six months after the first dose. Some who missed the preteen window should still get vaccinated including boys and men through 21 years and girls and women through age 26. The vaccine is also recommended for any man who has sex with another man. It is also recommended for men and women with compromised immune systems (including those with HIV/ AIDS) through age 26, if they did not get fully vaccinated when they were younger. SOURCES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention American Academy of Pediatrics, World Health Organization
The reporting of adverse reactions raised questions about the vaccine’s safety, further hindering adoption rates. But of the nearly 22,000 reactions reported between 2006 and 2013, 92 percent were not serious. The serious reactions most frequently reported were headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, syncope, and generalized weakness. The reports of syncope caused the Food and Drug Administration to recommend medical observation after giving the vaccine to prevent injuries from fainting. Gardasil, the more common of two available vaccines, protects against four types of high-risk HPV, including types 16 and 18 which are responsible for more than 70 percent of cervical cancers, and two types which cause genital warts. Gardasil is the only HPV vaccine approved for use in both boys and girls ages 11–26. LUMINATE | JULY 2014

‘Striking Results’ The vaccine has been proven effective. In a study published in the June 2013 Journal of Infectious Diseases, Girls 14–19 years old demonstrated a 56 percent decline in the rate of HPV since the vaccine was introduced in 2006.
choicemedicalwalkin.com
“These are striking results,” said Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a New York Times article. “[The results] should be a wake-up call that we need to increase vaccination rates. The bottom line is this: It is possible to protect the next generation from cancer, and we need to do it.”

The Common STD STD TheMost Most Common • The World Health Organization calls Human Papillomavirus “extremely common” and says “most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual activity.” • HPV can cause cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, or anal cancer. It can also cause cancer in the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils. • HPV generally does not present with any symptoms though some strains can cause genital warts. • A person might contract HPV at any time and pass it without knowing. • HPV usually goes away on its own within one to two years. • Vaccinating boys creates herd immunity to protect the female population as well, according to the AAP.
choicemedicalwalkin.com • There is no approved test to screen
men for HPV. DNA tests are used only in cervical cancer screenings in women over Tues, 30. Mon, Thurs, Fri, 8 am–5 pm
• There is no way to determine who with HPV will develop cancer or other health problems. SOURCE World Health Organization 10 |

Q:
My stressful life is pulling me in too many directions and it’s taking a toll on my body. I want to make changes, but I am physically and emotionally exhausted. What can I do before I have a meltdown?
S
tress can take a toll on your body. You feel drained, empty or depleted. But you can change it.
Take your “energy temperature.” Is it spiking or falling? Emotions dictate how we feel physically. When we are under a lot of stress, we produce chemicals like cortisol, a hormone released in response to danger (think fight-or-flight). Constant stress causes the body to produce too much cortisol leading to lower immunity function, increased weight gain, increased blood pressure, and a host of other physical problems. Be the Master Here’s the good news: We are the chemists of our body so if we can produce stress hormones, we can also produce happy hormones—like endorphins. Here are a few natural ways to increase endorphins. • Get Active Exercise boosts energy and improves mood. It doesn’t matter what you do, just get moving! • Meditate All you need is a few minutes of deep breathing to initiate the relaxation response. This is surprisingly effective. • Siberian Ginseng The components of this root induce an endorphin release in the brain according to a University of Maryland study. • Aromatherapy In clinical trials, lavender and vanilla were shown to reduce stress in less than 5 minutes. Use in a diffuser or put some drops on a tissue and inhale. Taking care of your emotional health is critical to feeling better physically. Incorporate these suggestions into your routine; they will help. LUMINATE | JULY 2014

Coconut Oil Coconut oil has long been on the blacklist for its highsaturated fat content. But it has been a staple food for even longer. In fact, in coastal regions of India, the coconut palm is known as the tree of life. Recent research introduces shades of grey and new health benefits. REPORTED BENEFITS Bone health Virgin coconut oil may increase antioxidant enzymes and help with osteoporosis. Aspirin-like properties Virgin coconut oil has antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. The anti-fry Feeding rats coconut oil in addition to repeatedly heated palm oil prevented high blood pressure normally associated with heated oils. Heart health Compared with copra oil, olive oil and sunflower oil, coconut oil reduces the risk of heart disease. Fight infection Coconut oil contains lauric acid, one of the immune boosting ingredients of milk. Coconut oil has antibacterial properties. It is also said to have antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic and immunostimulant properties. Weight control Coconut oil’s saturated fats metabolize quicker and are less likely to be stored as fat. NOTE The FDA has not yet researched the reported health benefits. A majority of the research available has been performed by those who sell coconut oil. HOW IT’S TAKEN Supplements; Cooking oil used in many Indian and Thai dishes, smoothies, or in place of butter. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends consuming unrefined coconut oil in moderation to limit your saturated fat intake, and avoiding refined coconut oil altogether. LUMINATE | JULY 2014
