Probiotics beneficial for both Mother and babyAccording to recent studies, the use of probiotics by pregnant and nursing mothers can be beneficial for both mothers and their infants. Probiotics are friendly bacteria that help support the natural balance of microorgan-isms in the body. They inhibit the grown of harmful bacteria, pro-mote good digestion, can bolster the immune system and also help to resist infection.

“Probiotics are micro-organisms that provide several health benefits, which is why taking them on a regular basis has so many advantag-es,” explained dietitian and nutritionist Annie Jolicoeur. “They have a beneficial effect on the mother’s intestinal flora as well as on the infant’s developing

flora.

“A multi-strain probiotic supplement, such as Probaclac, can significantly reduce a woman’s risk of suf-fering from gesta-tional diabetes,” she added. “Furthermore, it has been proven that probiotics can improve blood sugar levels.”

Here is an overview of the results of sev-eral studies done to determine the benefits of probiotics.

* Pregnant women who take probiotics are less susceptible to preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure along with an abnormal amount of protein in the urine. Women who have high blood pressure have a higher

risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery of a low birth weight or stillborn baby.

* Taking probiotics while pregnant can help fight yeast infections.

* Probiotic supple-ments taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding promote the development of the child’s immune system.

* Newborns whose mothers take probiot-ics while breastfeeding may be less susceptible to lactose intolerance.

* Probiotic supple-ments taken by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can reduce the incidence of infantile atopic dermatitis, or eczema. Furthermore, we know that infantile eczema is

often associated with asthma and other types of allergies.

* Taking probiotics while breastfeeding also can reduce the risk of diarrhea.

* Probiotics also can help reduce the inci-dence of infant aller-gies, according to the results of a recent study presented at the Febru-ary 2013 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The results showed that children born to moth-ers who consumed probiotic lactobacilli during pregnancy had a 7 percent reduced risk for eczema at six months of age and a 12 percent reduced risk for hay fever at 18 to 36 months.

The 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s diseaseFew families are fortunate enough to say they have not been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. A progressive, degenera-tive disease of the brain, Alzheimer’s impairs thinking and memory, accounting for 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Though many people’s experiences with Alzheimer’s disease involves an elderly relative, the disease is not exclusive to the elderly. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early-onset Alzheimer’s, which most often appears when someone is in their 40s and 50s.

In 2011, 59-year-old Pat Summitt, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history and a beloved figure on the campus of the University of Tennessee, revealed that she had

been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type. That an-nouncement opened the eyes of men and women across the country, who might otherwise never have known that dementia could strike so early or to someone who seemed as healthy as Summitt, who vowed to continue coaching despite the diagnosis. Because it can

strike men and women even if they aren’t elderly, it’s important to know these 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s, courtesy of the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion and the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Memory loss is one of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s. This is

especially so if men and women forget things that happened very recently, which can negatively impact their daily lives. Additional signs include forgetting important dates and events; asking for the same information over and over again; or relying on memory aidessuch as reminder notes

or even family members for things individuals could once remember on their own.

2. Difficulty planning.Some people might start to exhibit diffi-culty following a plan or working with numbers, be it following a recipe or paying the monthly bills. Concentration is often difficult for those exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

3. Difficulty complet-ing familiar tasks. Daily tasks such as driv-ing to work or remembering the rules of a familiar game will prove difficult for people with Alzheimer’s.

4. Disorientation with regards to time and/or place.Nearly everyone has had momentary lapses where

they forget what time it is or what day it is. But such lapses are not momen-tary for people with Alzheimer’s, who might even get lost on their own street and not remember how to get home.

5. Trouble under-standing images and spatial relationships.Some people with Alzheimer’s have difficulty reading, judging distance or determining color or contrast. For example, a person with Alzheimer’s might walk past a mirror and not realize he or she is the person in the mirror.

6. New problems with words in speaking or writing.People with Alzheimer’s might experience trouble holding or joining a conversation. An example is stopping in the middle of a conversation and having no idea how to

continue. They might also struggle with vocabulary, often having trouble finding the right word to express what they’re thinking.

7. Misplacing things.People with Alzheimer’s might put things in unusual places and then experience difficulty re-tracing their steps to find those items. This tends to occur more frequently over time, and they often accuse others of stealing items they simply can’t find.

8. Decreased or poor judgement.Poor judgement, such as not visiting the doctor or mishandling finances, is another warning sign for Alzheimer’s. These poor decisions can extend to personal grooming, which men and women with Alzheimer’s might neglect.

9. Withdrawal from society.Men and women with Alzheimer’s might start to withdraw from society, re-moving themselves from social activities, projects at work or hobbies. Avid sports fans might no longer be able to follow their favorite team, while social butterflies might grow reclusive.

10. Changes in mood and personality.People with Alzheimer’s might experience mood swings for no apparent reason and can become anxious, confused, depressed, fearful, or suspicious. Acting out of character might also be indicative of Alzheimer’s.

How to protect yourself against stomach ulcersDid you know that a bac-terium called Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of 60 to 80 percent of gastric ulcers, and of 80 to 85 percent of duodenal ulcers? The duodenum is the upper end of the small intestine.

Normally, a layer of mucous protects the stomach and the intestine from the acidity of the gastric juice, a liquid secreted by the stomach glands during digestion. Helicobacter pylori weak-ens this protective layer by penetrating the mucus lining and creating open sores, or ulcers, in the gastrointestinal tract.

In industrialized coun-tries, close to 20 percent of people aged 40 and under are infected with this bacterium, and if affects close to 50 percent of people over the age of 60. Studies show that 20 percent of these people will develop an ulcer during their lifetime.

Clinical studies have shown that probiotics can be useful in treating infections caused by Helicobacter pylori. Antibiotics are usually prescribed to eliminate Helicobacter pylori, but unfortunately, the success rate is only 74.8 percent. When a multi-strain pro-biotic supplement, such as Probaclac, is added, the treatment’s efficiency increases to 83.6 percent.

The fact that antibiot-

ics cause several side effects is important to mention. These adverse effects, experienced by 38.5 percent of patients treated, include diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea and taste changes. When a multi-strain probi-otic supplement is given along with the antibiotics, side effects are reduced and reported by only 24.7 percent of patients.

Jolicoeur recommends Probaclac as the ideal

solution since it provides probiotic complexes that are designed specifically for every age group: chil-dren up to the age of 15; adults (can be taken from the age of 15); and older adults (age 50 and up).

“Adding a multi-strain probiotic supplement to the medication given to treat ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori significantly increases its efficiency and tolerance,” she said.

The effects that cancer treatment can have on a person’s skin have long been overlooked. But patients who have suffered through skin rashes and burns will be glad to know that a growing trend in treat-ing cancer focuses on curing both the disease and helping patients maintain their self-esteem and quality of life. A new movement combining oncology and dermatology aims to address both the disease and the poten-tially negative conse-quences that rashes, burns and blemishes can produce.

“For obvious reasons, the skin, hair, and nails have not been the topmost concerns in oncology -- the most important goal is to treat and cure the cancer,” says Mario Lacouture, M.D., who

specializes in der-matologic conditions that result from cancer treatments. “But skin side effects can affect patients’ sense of self and their interactions with others. These side effects can lead to costly treatments, affect overall health, and perhaps most significantly, they may require that anticancer treatments be reduced or stopped altogether.”

Upon receiving a can-cer diagnosis, patients concerned about the potential impact that treatment may have on their complexions should discuss their options with their phy-sicians. After initiating such discussions, men and women being treated for cancer can take additional steps to maintain their appear-ance and quality of life both during and after

treatment.

* Alter your skin care routine. Upon receiv-ing a cancer diagnosis, patients must make a host of lifestyle adjust-

ments to many things, including to their skin care routines. Intense skin rashes and burns are common side ef-fects of chemotherapy (continued on page 14)

and radiation, and certain side effects are actually an indica-tor that the treatment is working. While such consequences can affect patients’ self-image, these side effects are entirely manageable.

“What many patients do not realize is that most dermato-logic side effects are manageable, allowing people to maintain their quality of life and continue their cancer treatments,” says Lacouture.

Recognizing traditional skin care products’ ineffectiveness at com-bating the dermatolog-ic side effects of cancer treatment during her own battle with the disease, cancer survi-vor and entrepreneur

Lindy Snider began working with derma-tologists, oncologists, nurses, and skin care formulators to address the issue, eventually developing Lindi Skin (www.lindiskin.com), a collection of skin care products designed specifically for indi-viduals undergoing treatment for cancer and related disorders. Combining state-of-the-art technology with innovative natural ingredients, Lindi Skin products include a host of botanical extracts boasting anti-inflammatory, an-algesic, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral proper-ties, while providing a soothing and gentle solution even for those patients with especially sensitive skin.

“Tarceva, the medica-tion I take for lung cancer, has played

havoc with my skin, which has become unbelievably dry and sensitive,” says Phyllis of Coral Gables, FL. “(Lindi Skin) products are the only ones I can use on my face and body. They actually soothe, whereas all others create a burning sensation.”

* Embrace antioxi-dants. Often touted as miracle ingredients in a host of foods, anti-oxidants can be found beyond the dinner table as well. In developing Lindi Skin, Snider and her team designed an exclusive formula-tion of concentrated botanicals that deliver high levels of benefi-cial antioxidants to the skin. Known as the LSA Complex(R), this formulation includes Snider’s pioneering use of astaxanthin, a pow-erful antioxidant that

is only now beginning to receive widespread recognition for its restorative properties, a decade after Snider began using it in her skin care products. While astaxanthin can relieve the pain and in-flammation in the skin that cancer patients often feel, it also can help those suffer-ing from less severe, non-cancer related skin problems, such as sunburn, rosacea, dry skin and UV damage.

Skin damage is an often overlooked side effect of cancer treatment. But cancer patients should know that side effects like skin rashes and burns are manageable and don’t have to negatively impact self-image or quality of life.

Finding the right doctor is a process. It takes time and research to find the perfect fit for you. Below are a few steps to follow to help you in your search.

1. Ask for reference.

2. Call around and ask to speak to the doctors.

3. Ask about their credentials.

4. Discuss insurance plans accepted.

5. Look for a board certi-fied doctor.

6. Look for good bedside manner.

7. Ask about after hours care and emergency treat-ment protocols.

8. Match the doctor’s approach to healing with yours.

9. Friendly office staff.

10. Clean facility.
