Safe
Be savvy when purchasing dietary supplements says Vasilios Frankos, Ph.D., Director of FDA’s Division of Dietary Supplement Programs. Today’s dietary supplements include vitamins and minerals, herbals, botanicals, amino acids, and enzymes,” Frankos says. “Check with your health care providers before combining or substituting them with other foods or medicines.” Consider the following tips before buying a dietary supplement:
• Think twice about chasing the latest headline. Sound health advice is generally based on research over time, not a single study touted by the media. Be wary of results claiming a “quick fix” that departs from scientific research and established dietary guidance. • More may not be better. Some products can be harmful when consumed in high amounts. • Learn to spot false claims. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. • Ask yourself if the product is worth the money. Some supplement products may be expensive or may not provide the benefit you expect. SOURCE: Food and Drug Administration

esearchers at the Center for Diabetes Research concluded that antibiotic exposure could increase the risk of later-in-life type 2 diabetes, according to an article in the Journal of Clinical Endrocrinology. “We conducted a nationwide case-control study to investigate whether use of antibiotics influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and, if so, if the effect can be attributed to individual types of antibiotics, individual groups of antibiotics, or the number of antibiotics courses,” the journal reported. Information that doctors used to draw these conclusions came from a Denmark study entitled “Use of Antibiotics and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Population-Based Case-Control Study,” and showed that the increased use of antibiotics in patients with type 2 diabetes was found up to 15 years before diagnosis of type 2 diabetes as well as after the diagnosis, the journal reported .
hws.12.2015.p7-Diab- antibiotics-right.indd 1
“Our results could support the possibility that antibiotics exposure increases type 2 diabetes risk, the article said. “However, the findings may also represent an increased demand for antibiotics from increased risk of infections in patients with yet-undiagnosed diabetes.” Researchers explained that inside the human gut, heavily-populated colonies of delicately-balanced microbes and cells exist that can be thrown off balance by alterations. “Several metabolic disease states such as obesity and type 2 diabetes have been linked with alterations in the microbiota composition and function,” the journal reported. “Antibiotics cause marked alterations in the human gut microbiota with stereotypic declines and expansions in the abundance of certain taxa and incomplete recovery to the initial composition in some individuals.”

You hear with your brain
Get YOUR Better Health Institute free hearing exam at www.BetterHearing.com
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Univeristy and the National Institute on Aging found that although the brain becomes smaller with age, its shrinkage seems to be fast-tracked in older adults with hearing loss. Another study by colleagues from Brandeis University, Washington University in St. Louis and University of Pennsylvania, used MRIs to look at the effect hearing loss had on both brain activity and structure. Their study found that people with poorer hearing had less gray matter in the auditory cortex, a region of the brain that is necessary to support speech comprehension. Professors suggested the possibility that the participants’ hearing loss had a causal role, hypothesizing that when the sensory stimulation is reduced due to hearing loss, corresponding areas of the brain reorganize their activity as a result. That is why it is better to identify and address hearing loss early. It brings many positive benefits. But perhaps the most compelling reason to get a hearing test and treatment, however is simply this: We “hear” with our brain, not with our ears. When we have a hearing loss, the connections in the brain that respond to sound become reorganized. Fortunately, for many people, hearing aids can provide the sound stimulation needed for the brain to restore the normal organization of connections to its “sound center” so it can more readily react to the sounds that it had been missing and cognitively process them.

Northern Lights
Are you getting enough vitamin D this winter? N ecessary for absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorous, adequate Vitamin D levels are particularly important to residents who live in northern states. And shorter winter days coupled with extreme cold climates can make it harder to achieve optimal intake on a regular basis. Results from the 2012 to 2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey show that 65 percent of Canadians had vitamin D levels that are likely sufficient to fulfill the body’s requirements for optimal bone health, according to Canadian Government. Of the remaining individuals, 25 percent are potentially at risk for inadequate vitamin D and 10 percent of the population had vitamin D levels
are at risk for vitamin D deficiency, the government said. Women make up nearly 70 percent of those who are deficient. Most American adults do not get enough vitamin D, according to Michael Roizen, M.D.. Estimates are that 30 to 40 percent of adults are deficient in vitamin D. And in three studies of elderly people who live north of leigh-Durham, North Carolina, as many as 65, 87, and 89 percent were deficient in vitamin D, Roisen said on the www.sharecare.com website. So what are recommend Vitamin D doses? A level of 20 nanograms/milliliter to 50 ng/mL is considered adequate for healthy people, according to www.webmd.com. A level less than 12 ng/ mL indicates vitamin D deficiency. • Volume 1, Issue 2, Winter 2015 •

Are you deficient? Those more likely to have vitamin D deďŹ ciency include:
People with darker skin. The darker your skin the more sun you need to get the same amount of vitamin D as a fairskinned person. People who spend a lot of time indoors during the day. People who cover their skin all of the time. People that live in the North of the United States or Canada. Older people with thinner skin. Breastfed infants who do not receive a vitamin D supplement.

Be prepared when F
WICKED weather strikes
arm Bureau Financial Services offers tips for keeping your family safe An estimated 100,000 thunderstorms occur in the U.S. each year according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), and around 10 percent of those reach severe levels. A number of dangerous weather conditions are associated with thunderstorms including hail, wind gusts, lightning, flash floods and tornadoes. Before wicked weather strikes, these tips can help you be prepared. Know the difference between a watch and a warning. As you see and hear the weather alerts sounding on the television or radio, be sure everyone in your family knows how to respond. The attached graphic describes the differences between watches and warnings. Develop a family emergency plan. Your family may not be together when wicked weather occurs, so develop a family emergency plan in advance. Discuss how your family will make contact in different situations. Designate a safe area. Depending on the type of weather or disaster, designate a specific safe place for family members to gather, and don’t forget your pets. If severe weather is approaching, take shelter on the lowest level of your home in a room without windows. Take inventory of your belongings Create a list of valuable items in your home such as electronics, appliances, furnishings and collectibles. An online home inventory can help you note the contents of your home and their value. Put together a disaster supply kit. Before wicked weather hits, take time to put together items you might need in case of a disaster. Some recommendations include a flashlight, batteries, bottled water, first-aid kit, radio, and blankets. Review your insurance with your agent. Make sure you have the coverage you’ll need to meet your needs should a disaster occur. As part of your wicked weather preparedness, contact your Farm Bureau agent to make sure your insurance is up-todate. Access our online home inventory kit, disaster supply kit and learn more about steps you can take to minimize your severe weather risks at www.FBFS.com/weather.

uilding on an already successful medically practiced application, motorized calisthenics offers a series of tables or beds that support your body weight and move the body parts repetitiously in a condensed amount of time. There is no strenuous exercise, thus eliminating strain and fatigue. Motorized calistehenics compare well to aqua-exercise as both are body weight supportive, causing no stress on your joints. There is also a therapeutic side to the tables, as with use, clients notice increased circulation, wider range of motion, and mobility of the joints. The concept of motorized muscle motion for muscle development began in 1950 as a way to help polio victims rehabilitate. The physiology of a muscle will work whether it is stimulated from internal nerve impulse, external stimuli, or another person (therapist) doing the work. Those models were further modified for toning and strengthening using minimal effort, making them preferable to a growing senior population that may not be want or be able to handle a traditional floor fitness program. Motorized Calisthenics are also helpful to arthritis suffers and others with chronic pain issues as well as those with diabetes, since the bed’s vibration stimulates blood and helps increase circulation.

Montana doctor satisfied that aid in dying is authorized in Montana
“Do no harm means honoring wishes. ” – Dr. Jim McCreedy, Great Falls, MT
Doctor Jim McCreedy practiced medicine in Montana for 36 years. He always believed in listening to his patients and honoring their wishes, particularly at end of life. Dr. McCreedy testified at the legislature in Helena that physician aid in dying is an essential end-of-life option, along with hospice and palliative care for terminally ill adults. In fact, McCreedy has made sure he has a physician who will honor his end-of-life wishes and offer him every available option. The Montana Supreme Court’s Baxter ruling ensures Montanans can exercise their freedom through to the very end of life because it affirms and authorizes aid in dying as an option for adults who are terminally ill. Some groups want to undo the Baxter ruling and take away our right to die on our own terms. If you support death with dignity, help in the fight to protect your end-of-life options. Please fill out and return the petition below.

Prescription medication price trends unaffordable to median-income adults D
ebra Whitman, Phd and AARP Chief Public Police Officer represented older Americans in November when she participated in an invitation-only Washington D.C. Forum on pharmaceutical innovation, access, affordability and better health according to an AARP source. Whitman focused her talk on rapidly-escalating prescription drug price trends and the increasing difficulty of consumers to buy them. Whitman told other high-level panalists the average cost of one specialty drug costs the consumer more than $53,000, which exceeds median household incomes, which is about $52,000. “This price is also twice the median income of the $23,500 for people on Medicare and almost threeand-(one)halft times the average Social Security retirement benefit,” Whitman said. “No one should have to choose between paying for food or rent and paying for prescription drugs thy need to stay healthy.” Whitman insisted that drug companies should not
hws.12.2015.p21.RX meds.indd 1
expect average Americans to incurr that cost. “American taxpayers and consumers cannot and should not be asked to foot the entre bill for medical innovation,” she said. “We cannot continue to give drug manufacturers a blank check to pay for prescription drugs.” Whitman also talked about the importance of increasing the availability of research that compares new drugs with existing drugs. This kind of comparitive effectiveness reseach will help introduce much-needed competition into the pharmaceautical market. “Right now we have no idea whether a new drug is better than similar treatments that re already on the market,” she said. “Other countries already require drug companies to provide this kind of information – why don't we? We also think pharmaceautical companies need to be more transparent about how they price their drugs. We cannot and should not continue to simple accept what the market will bear, she said.

Protecting Yourself from
Cold Stress
Workers who are exposed to extreme cold or work in cold environments may be at risk of cold stress. Extremely cold or wet weather is a dangerous situation that can cause occupational illness and injuries such as hypothermia, frostbite, trench foot, and chilblains.
IZAAK WALTON INN Celebrating 75 Years!
Hypothermia A condition in which the body uses up its stored energy and can no longer produce heat. Often occurs after prolonged exposure to cold temperature. Early symptoms ■ Shivering ■ Fatigue ■ Loss of coordination ■ Confusion and disorientation
Late symptoms ■ No shivering ■ Blue skin ■ Dilated pupils ■ Slowed pulse and breathing ■ Loss of consciousness
Dining Car Restaurant open daily for breakfast, lunch & dinner
First Aid ■ Request immediate medical assistance. ■ Move the victim into a warm room or shelter. ■ Remove wet clothing. ■ Warm the center of their body first—chest, neck, head, and groin—using an electric blanket; or use skin-to-skin contact under loose, dry layers of blankets, clothing, or towels. ■ If conscious, warm beverages may help increase the body temperature. Do not give alcohol. ■ Once temperature has increased keep them dry and wrapped in a warm blanket, including the head and neck. ■ If no pulse, begin CPR.
Frostbite An injury to the body that is caused by freezing, which most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Symptoms ■ Reduced blood flow to hands and feet ■ Numbness
■ Aching ■ Tingling or stinging ■ Bluish or pale, waxy skin
First Aid ■ Get into a warm room as soon as possible. ■ Unless necessary, do not walk on frostbitten feet or toes. ■ Immerse the affected area in warm (not hot) water, or warm the affected area using body heat. Do not use a heating pad, fireplace, or radiator for warming. ■ Do not massage the frostbitten area; doing so may cause more damage. 23-HWS -Extreme cold copy.indd 1

The Social Security Decision Simplified t seems obvious enough – you become eligible to receive Social Security benefits at age 62 so you should take that money as soon as you can to get the most possible. Not so fast. Becoming eligible at age 62 is only the tip of the iceberg. We’ve crunched the numbers and have seen that delaying receipt of Social Security benefits can dramatically increase a person’s lifetime benefit amount. In fact, waiting to age 70 (when benefit amounts maximize), can result in an increase of 24 percent or more in your monthly benefit.1 But that doesn’t mean you have to keep working. Depending on your specific situation, you may be able to stop working and use money from other investments as income while you wait. Having a retirement income strategy well before your retirement years can help you stop working when you want and continue living comfortably. You’ll need to begin by asking some important questions: • When do I plan to stop working? • What will my income need be at significant ages like 62, 68 and 70? • What do I believe is my life expectancy? • What are my other sources of income? • What is my overall long‐term risk tolerance?
I

New Medicare available for palliative care in Lake County • Model aims to increase choice and quality by enabling individuals to receive palliative and curative are concurrently
M
any seniors, disabled Americans, and family members of individuals who suffer from life limiting illnesses must choose between the support services provided through hospice care or curative treatment. Fewer than half of eligible Medicare beneficiaries use hospice care and most only for a short period of time. Under current Medicare payment rules, individuals are not able to receive both palliative and curative treatment concurrently. A new program could change all of that. Kalispell Regional Healthcare’s Home Options has been selected to participate in the new Medicare Care Choices Model, announced earlier this year by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. The model provides Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for coverage under the Medicare Hospice Benefit and dually eligible beneficiaries who qualify for the Medicaid Hospice Benefit the option to elect to receive supportive care services typically provided by hospice and continue to receive curative services at the same time. The announcement is part of a larger effort at HHS to transform the U.S. health care system to deliver better care, spend our dollars in a smarter way, and put patients in the center of their care. “This model empowers clinicians, beneficiaries, and their families with choices and is part of our broader efforts to transform our health care system into one that delivers better care, makes smarter payments, and puts patients in the center of their own care,” said Secretary Burwell. “We want to do what we can to help families find the care that is right for their loved one.” All eligible hospices across the country were invited to apply to participate in the model. Due to robust interest, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded the model from an originally anticipated 30 Medicare-certified hospices to more than 140 Medicare-certified hospices and extended the duration of the model from 3 to 5 years. This is expected to enable as many as 150,000 eligible Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who receive services from participating hospices to experience this new option and flexibility. Participating hospices will provide services under the model that are currently available under the Medicare hospice benefit for routine home care and respite levels of care, but cannot be separately billed under Medicare Parts A, B, and D. Services will be available around the clock, 365 calendar days per year and CMS will pay a per beneficiary per month fee ranging from $200 to $400 to participating hospices when delivering these services under the model. Services will begin starting January 1, 2016 for the first phase of participating hospices and in January 2018 for the remaining participating hospices. Individuals who wish to receive services under the model must criteria. For more information on this new program, contact Home Options at (406) 751-4200.

Naturopaths and AMVETS offer chronic pain suffers alternative treatment AMVETS, one of the nation’s largest veterans service organizations, has joined with the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in seeking to promote natural, non-pharmacological approaches to treating veterans suffering from chronic pain. The organizations have collaborated via a “Dear Colleague” letter in the US House of Representatives calling on the Department of Veterans Affairs to take steps to employ licensed naturopathic physicians, who are specially trained in natural, non-invasive methods of healing. A “Dear Colleague” letter to that effect has begun circulating in the US House of Representatives. Leading the charge is Congressman Mark Pocan (D-WI), who – like many of his colleagues – is concerned about the dangers of overmedicating veterans, especially with painkilling opioids. Rep. Pocan is joined by Representatives Julia Brownley (D-CA), Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), and Walter Jones as the letter’s initial signators. “After incidents across the country of veterans overdosing on or abusing opioids associated with chronic pain, it is clear we need a new approach to veterans’ pain management,” Rep. Pocan stated. “Our veterans deserve access to all possible forms of care when making their healthcare decisions, including the services provided by naturopathic doctors (NDs).” The VA serves 8.76 million veterans each year, and chronic pain is known to disproportionately affect those who are serving or have served in the military, affecting nearly half of all active-duty military personnel and veterans. The letter urges VA Secretary Robert McDonald to assign an employment code to licensed NDs so that they can be brought into the agency’s healthcare system. Signators will be on record as supporting the inclusion of “licensed naturopathic doctors, who are trained in the use of safe and effective natural and conventional therapies, in the spectrum of healthcare professionals employed within the agency.” Citizens can quickly and easily urge their Representative to sign the letter. Before its collaboration with AMVETS to support the House Dear Colleague letter, AANP commissioned a nationwide survey of a representative sample of America’s veterans, finding that nearly two-thirds of veterans (64 percent) would prefer a doctor who prescribes natural therapies before considering drugs or surgery, and that nearly three-quarters of veterans (73 percent) would consider seeing a ND if he or she were on staff at a nearby VA facility. For military veterans, chronic pain often coexists with other health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. NDs are well suited to help, since they are specially trained in natural, non-pharmacological approaches that facilitate the body’s self-healing ability. Approximately 4,400 NDs are licensed to practice naturopathic medicine, having earned their degree from 4-year postgraduate naturopathic medical schools accredited through the US Department of Education. The approaches studied include nutritional counseling and stress reduction, botanical medicine, therapeutic manipulation, and oriental medicine. A strong emphasis is placed on disease prevention and educating patients on proactive self-care to maintain wellness. Resolutions passed by the US Senate have urged Americans to learn more about this “safe, effective, and affordable form of health care.” The seeds for the VA initiative were planted at this spring’s AANP legislative conference, when NDs and naturopathic medical students swarmed Capitol Hill expressing the need for the VA to bring NDs into its employment mix. The agency has the ability to assign NDs an existing employment code; Congress’ letter is intended to encourage the VA to take the next steps. Ultimately, the letter will be delivered to the VA, with the agency asked to respond to this “clear and present need.” Source: The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians

Fine Art,Finer Artist Submitted by Sandpiper Art Gallery
I
n an age when most people preserve memories of their travels with digital photos and videos, Joanne Simpson uses a different medium: Her paintings. “One of my favorite things to do is to paint in my watercolor journal when I’m on a trip,” said Simpson, a Montana native. “It’s a fine way to have a special souvenir and get to keep a painting at the same time.” On the road, her paintings are small, only 8 inches by 10 inches. “So I can’t get too fussy with them although I tend to like fussy subjects, and I try to do them pleine aire so they are pretty quick,” she said. “The journals will be something for my grandkids when they are old enough.” Plein air painting, is a phrase borrowed from the French equivalent meaning “open (in full) air”. It is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, also called French: peinture sur le motif (“painting of the object(s) or what the eye actually sees”), where a painter reproduces the actual visual conditions seen at the time of the painting. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules; those might create a predetermined look. Simpson, a member of the Sandpiper Art Gallery, was born, raised and educated in Montana, where she obtained an MA from the University of Montana. She taught Spanish in public and private schools at all levels in Montana and Michigan for 39 years, and watercolor classes since 1985. Her art career began in 1984 when she won a Merchandise Award in the first juried show of the Montana Watercolor Society of which she is currently a Signature Member. She was invited to jury art shows both in Montana and Michigan. Her watercolor batik entitled AWARDS “The Center of the World” appeared in The Artistic * Merchandise Award - Montana Touch 6, in 2014,and her work on silk appeared in Watercolor Society * Board Award and Excellence Award in the 1997 edition of Best of Silk Painting, by Janas Watermedia - Montana Watercolor Society and Tuckman. * First Place Floral and Still Life - Hot Her silk fabrics were used exclusively in the Springs Art Society annual juried show 1997 spring show of Detroit designer, Sharone. * Madeline Dolly Weaver Award for WaterHer latest form of relaxation is making beaded color and Excellence Awards - Copper jewelry.

Comprehensive pain management available in Flathead Valley E
veryone reading this story is either suffering from chronic pain or knows someone who is. Chronic pain is the one of the most debilitating and common chronic medical conditions in the world, and yet few speak of it; even fewer are properly trained to treat it! Fortunately, the Flathead Valley is home to one of the nation’s most comprehensive pain management centers. More than 100 million people in America live with chronic pain and nearly half of those are at least partially disabled by it. The costs of this disease exceed $600 billion a year, but those are only the measurable costs! The costs of lost jobs, lost relationships, and lost lives are not as easily measured. Unfortunately, traditional medical treatment for this disease has been unsuccessful in most cases. In fact, most people with chronic pain agree that better treatment options are needed to ease the suffering. This traditional medical treatment has relied heavily on the use of prescription opioid painkillers for many years. The best evidence in this field shows us, however, that regular, long-term use of these medications is more likely to cause harm than to improve chronic pain. Sadly, most healthcare providers are unprepared to deal with the complexities of chronic pain, especially when these types of medications fail. Fortunately for the residents of the Flathead Valley, one of the most comprehensive centers for the treatment of chronic pain is only minutes away. With a satellite location in Polson, The Montana Center for Wellness and Pain Management in Kalispell is a physician-directed center with nine different specialties available to handle the complexities of chronic pain. Patients at this clinic learn that they have the power to influence their disease through understanding how chronic pain affects the body and the mind. They learn about the power of the mind in reducing suffering and that simple activities and gently progressive movement therapies can make dramatic differences in their abilities to live the lives they want. • Volume 1, Issue 2, Winter 2015 •

Ah, nuts! N
ut consumption has beneficial effects on glucose and insulin levels, according to the latest researches studying the relationship between the consumption of nuts and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The PREDIMED study has proven that following a Mediterranean diet, with 30 g of nuts a day, reduced the incidence of diabetes by 52% in people with high cardiovascular risk aged between 55 and 80 years, who were non-diabetic when the study began. Two other researchers following this line have shown that two ounces (57 g) of nuts per day can improve insulin resistance. Researchers from the University of Toronto have performed a meta-analysis of 12 studies into the effects of nuts on health. They have found that consuming about two ounces of tree nuts per day significantly decreases triglycerides and fasting blood glucose and helps glycemic control in those patients with type 2 diabetes. Indeed, participants showed a mean decrease of glucose of 0.15 mmol/L after eight-weeks of tree nuts’ diets compared with control diets. This analysis also applies to patients with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors shown to be associated with an increased risk for T2D, cardiovascular disease and mortality. In addition, researchers at the Human Nutrition Unit, from Rovira i Virgili University, have proven that the intake of two ounces (57 g) of pistachios per day has a significant effect: it decreases fasting glucose, and favors insulin and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. This line of study has been followed by Dr. S. Gulati, from the Diabetes Foundation in India, who has shown that a diet containing pistachios may improve the cardiometabolic profile of those subjects suffering from metabolic syndrome. In fact, it has been shown to significantly reduce fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Currently, about 400 million people (more than 5% of the population) have T2D. It is estimated that by 2035 there will be almost 600 million people living with T2D and almost 900 million people with pre-diabetes, a silent state associated with a high risk of several deadly conditions including T2D, heart disease, hypertension, strokes and early death.
