EAR Readers,
What fun we’ve been having with these first six issues in our new magazine format. I hope you’ve been enjoying the change. We’ve received many very positive comments about the new format, so thank you. We’ve also received comments from those who don’t like it so much, miss the feel of newspaper and, frankly, wish we’d go back to how it used to be. But we’re all embracing this change together, as we seek to share information with you on how to live your best life and appreciate all that our area has to offer. If you’ve got an idea for a story, or the type of advertising you’d like to see, please let us know. We sincerely enjoy hearing from you. This month we focus on a slightly more serious topic — that of chronic conditions. As we navigate this human experience, we understand we might find ourselves dealing with illnesses we never expected to. Some of them are preventable; some are not. Some are curable; others are not. Just to highlight a few of our stories — We feature a successful respite care program in Lake Oswego that has set a model for others to follow; how stem cell treatments are making a big difference for many patients; and scientific breakthroughs by OHSU doctors are providing hope for those who suffer from multiple sclerosis. Finally, be sure to check out our Theater Spotlight, for some fun things to look forward to. For even more stories, please visit northwest50plus.com during the month of June.

NORTHWEST LIVING | YARD & GARDEN
The ‘other’ fuchsia By G RAC E P E T E R S O N
TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO THE HARDY VARIETY
D
OES THE WORD FUCHSIA conjure up the image of a beautiful Mother’s Day hanging basket with hundreds of dangling jewels in rich reds and purples? If so, you’re not alone. You’re likely seeing them at nurseries this time of year, displayed in long rows at hoop houses, providing instant color gratification for yourself or that special loved one. However, I feel compelled to mention the other fuchsia, the unsung hero and shrubby plant that deserves every bit as much praise as the famous hanging basket type — the hardy fuchsia. When I was a kid, I was always enchanted to see Fuchsia magellanica
blooming in summer gardens. Its presence added a colorful, tropical flare to the border. You’ve probably seen it, too — hundreds of thin, earring-blossoms with red sepals surrounding a purple corolla complemented by dark green, glossy foliage. This is the most common of the shrub or hardy fuchsias. But thanks to gifted plant propagators and hybridizers there are hundreds more varieties nowadays. The word “hardy” in plant terminology means able to survive the winter and return each spring. Many of the hardy shrub fuchsias are completely winter hardy here in our USDA Zone 8 Pacific Northwest gardens. They’re big plants, two to five feet tall and wide. They’re long blooming, from June until frost and will attract all kinds of pollinators including territorial hummingbirds.
Hardy fuchsias are easy to grow with only a few requirements to keep them healthy and happy. First, rich, organic soil is a must, so if your soil is heavy clay, like mine, you’ll want to incorporate a good amount of organic matter (compost) into the planting area. Fuchsias like moist soil but don’t want their roots in soggy-wet mud so make sure water doesn’t pool in the spot where you’re planning to grow them. Full sun is OK for hardy fuchsias if you can keep the soil consistently moist with a sprinkler or drip system. If you’re like me and don’t have automatic watering, morning sun and afternoon shade is probably better. Too much shade and you won’t have flowers so experiment with placement. If the plants aren’t performing well in one spot, they can be dug up and moved

when they’re dormant. Early spring is ideal. Gallon-sized plants, planted in spring, are more likely to do better than smaller ones planted in fall because the spring-planted ones have all summer and fall to get their roots established. The bigger the plant, the better the chance of winter survival. Unlike most plants which should be planted right at the plant’s crown, fuchsias should be planted a few inches deeper. This will keep the crowns from freezing during the winter, especially if you cover the plant with leaves in the fall. After a frost, it is tempting to cut off the woody, bare stems but hold off
doing so until you see new growth in spring. After a mild winter (like we had this last winter) new growth will develop not just at the base of the plant but also along those bare stems that you were smart enough to leave alone, giving your plant a head start. During the growing season, you can fertilize the plants but an annual top dressing of compost and consistently moist soil is really all they need. Hardy fuchsia blossoms come in colors of red, pink, purple, lavender, white and coral, from smaller single blossoms to big, fat blossoms like the ones in the hanging baskets. My favorites are ‘Baby Ann’ with
medium-pink sepals and a dark pink corolla; ‘Lady Bacon’ with a thin, red tube, white sepals and bluish-purple corolla; and ‘Debron’s Black Cherry’ with deep, shiny-red chunky sepals and a plum-purple corolla. But I’ve never met a hardy fuchsia I didn’t like. ☸

AWARD-WINNING LAKE OSWEGO PROGRAM HELPS THOSE WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS
T
HE NUMBERS ARE STARtling: 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Three times as many Americans are caring for someone with the disease. And there are more than 225 ongoing clinical research studies to help those suffering with Alzheimer’s. In Oregon, there are more than 65,000 who have Alzheimer’s, expected to grow to 84,000 in just the next six years. Two-thirds of them are women. Who is caring for those with Alzheimer’s? Two-thirds of caregivers are women, with one-third of them the daughters of those with the disease. It’s a busy, mentally exhausting and sometimes unforgiving assignment. Jane Jarman understands. She was a caregiver for her mother and has spent her career helping others. Now, she has developed a social model at the Lake Oswego Community Center that acts as Above, Jane Jarman takes an unusual approach. 6 NORTHWEST 50 PLUS METRO | JUNE 2019
a shining example for what this country needs. Since 1993, Lake Oswego’s Respite Recreation programs have offered meaningful socialization for adults with early and moderate cognitive impairment. Men and women with dementia who join the programs are offered four hours of exceptional activities designed for them, including lunch. Each program is limited to 12 participants and is designed to improve their quality of life while providing caregivers a block of time away from the stresses of caregiving responsibilities. Participants do not need to live in Lake Oswego. Cost starts at $30 per session and registration is required. Scholarships are available. To design the program, Jarman used her previous experience as a personal trainer who focused on strength, balance and fitness; and working as an activity coordinator at two assisted living facilities. She has been a housing advisor for older adults, helping place loved ones in retirement facilities; served on the Meals on Wheels board of directors; and is an adult respite day instructor. Cognitive decline, she says, is a national crisis that needs more awareness and research. “There are a number of assumptions about what causes it, but no scientific answers,” says Jarman, who frequently shares her knowledge about the disease to benefit caregivers and their loved ones, including recommendations for assisted living. “This is a definite crisis,” she says. “There is not enough care for dementia and this is the tip of the iceberg.”
According to the Lund Report, the total national cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is estimated at $277 billion, which does not include unpaid caregiving. Of that amount, $186 billion was the cost to Medicare and Medicaid in 2018. But to those who attend the respite care programs in Lake Oswego, national costs mean little. Because socialization is paramount, the program offers members a friendly interchange where they can laugh and tell stories past and current. Participants enjoy a three-course meal, brain games and memory exercises, music and horticultural therapy, arts and crafts, pet-assisted therapy and the camaraderie of peer support. Most of those who attend the Lake Oswego programs are men, Jarman says. They include retired engineers, professors, a heart surgeon and others. “It’s not a kindergarten class,” she says. “Those who come are treated with respect and dignity.”
A respite care program in Lake Oswego offers a variety of activities to engage those who attend. CO U RT ESY P H OTOS
Caregivers also have a support group that meets the third Wednesday of every month. The Lake Oswego Adult Community Center helps coordinate information and referrals as well as recommends caregivers who come to the home.
Clinical trials
More than 200 clinical trials are available. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, without clinical trials, “there can be no better treatments, no prevention and no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Today’s greatest obstacle is trial participants other than funding. Individuals with dementia, caregivers and healthy volunteers are urgently needed for trials
focused on Alzheimer’s and other dementia.” Visit alz.org/ trialmatch. ☸
Of note
Lake Oswego Community Center recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its respite program, making it the longest-running program in Oregon. Other respite programs in the Portland area include the Milwaukie Senior Center, Gentog Adult Day Center in Tigard, and the Mount Hood Adult Day Care in Gresham.For more information about Alzheimer’s support groups, fundraising walks and other support in Oregon and southwest Washington, visit alz.org/Oregon.

that. Some doctors are taking an alternative approach that uses the patient’s own stem cells to restore natural healing. Dr. Noel Peterson in Lake Oswego explains that the process involves harvesting stem cells from a patient’s own adipose tissue and bone marrow because they have the most abundant source of stem cells in the entire body. It’s not the controversial embryonic stem cells, but a therapy that treats joint regeneration, relieves pain and helps patients return to a longer and more active life. “There are many stem cell ‘clinics’ that have sprung up in the last year in Portland that are run by acupuncturists and chiropractors that conduct ‘seminars,’ really infomercials, on stem cells where they sell patients on injections of placenta or umbilical cord or Wharton’s jelly tissue telling them these contain live stem cells,” Peterson says. “These tissues are sold to these clinics by sales reps of companies that sprang up to re-package vials of tissues that are taken during live hospital births, treated with chemicals to preserve them, frozen, and repackaged in vials and sold to these clinics as stem cells.” The FDA strictly forbids any injection of live cells into a patient unless the cells are derived from the patient’s own body, he adds. Peterson uses stem cell therapy and (Above) Imagine still being able to do your favorite activities, like Dr. Noel Peterson, who at age 67 still enjoys windsurfing.

platelet-rich plasma to treat osteoarthritic, athletic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, male- and female-patterned baldness, post-concussion syndrome and aging issues. Cost for the therapy ranges from $2,000 to $6,000 and is not covered by most insurance. More than 40 percent of the 60 and older population has osteoarthritis of the knee, Peterson says, and most of his patients have been told surgery or joint replacement is the only option. Conversely, he has been able to achieve restoration of pain-free function without surgery or joint replacement. He cites a study by Virginia Commonwealth University showing that 44 percent of knee replacements were medically unnecessary. Before he starts a stem cell treatment, Peterson does a complete exam and reviews any lab tests. Stem-cell therapy is a one-time treatment and does not require anesthesia, he says.
A ‘significant change’
Mary Kroske, 67, and Jean Fairbanks, 72, recently traveled to Vietnam’s Mekong River, where they frequently were getting in and out of small boats. An active golfer, Kroske would need two days to recover because of the pain in her joints after playing nine holes. When she heard about stem cell therapy, she did her research and was impressed with what she learned. “In three months I saw significant change and by six months, wonderful change,” she says of her treatment in Peterson’s office. She now climbs up and down stairs, CO U RT ESY P H OTO
These treatments enhance the natural cycles of repair in chronically injured joints and tendons. DR. NOEL PETERSON
plays golf, sleeps without pillows and does other activities. “I got my life back,” she says. Before stem cell therapy, Kroske had tried physical therapy, chiropractic treatments and a product injected into her knee. “Stem cell treatment takes time,” she says, “because you are re-growing body parts. You have to be patient and go to a good doctor.” They both credit stem cell treatments for making it possible to go on the Rhodes Scholar trip to Vietnam. In the past Kroske did not have good experiences with knee replacements, having had two. She did not want another. Fairbanks says the cost is worth it, especially now that she can walk long distances, kayak and use the stairs without excruciating pain. She says the NFL has been using stem cell therapy on its players for years, and that even veterinarians have started using it. Peterson’s practice uses nonsurgical injection procedures for the permanent repair of damaged tendons, ligaments and joints. Regenerative and biological treatments he offers are Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma PRP and stem cell therapies. “These treatments enhance the natural cycles of repair in chronically injured joints and tendons,” he says. Regenerative injections are effective treatment of acute and chronic pain from back and neck injuries, as well as injuries and osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, foot and ankle. Peterson also specializes in hormone therapy, which he says is a catalyst in
repairing many things. In treating patients, he strongly recommends a healthy diet and exercise, but also believes genetics play a strong role in a person’s longevity and quality of life. “There is a difference between life span and health span,” Peterson says. “What we should want is a healthier life span.”
Good health
Peterson, 67, enjoys kite surfing in the ocean, with his favorite place in a remote area of Baja California, Mexico. He also enjoys surfing in Hawaii. When he joins other kite surfers, “I
am the oldest person in the group,” he says. “I have paid attention to what I eat and exercise and I take no meds of any kind.” He’s quick to thank his genetics as well, referring to his 87-year-old mother. He also bikes, does push-ups and a little resistance training. “Logic tells us we are what we eat,” Peterson says. “I don’t want burgers and fries; I want steak and vegetables, fruits and nuts like walnuts.” He says dramatic change can occur at any age, whether in weight loss, a younger appearance or improved mobility. ☸

The ‘Passion Play’ returns Nearly 400 years ago, the history of the “Passion Play” began. As the story goes, a plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare the village of Oberammergau either. In 1633, the villagers promised that if no one was to die of the plague, they would perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every 10th year. The villagers were answered by God and, therefore, in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. From May 16 to Oct. 4, 2020, the local villagers of Oberammergau, Germany, will perform the 42nd annual “Passion Play” or “Passionsspiele.” It is the passion of their lives. Because of its growing popularity, tour companies have planned special packages to include tickets to the performance that has become a beloved highlight of every decade. This year, there are many opportunities to view the event and combine it with a special vacation to the
area. Why not plan your vacation to include Oberammergau, enjoy the Alps and Dolomites, and experience romantic Germany with Tauck Tours in May 2020? Or, if you wish to travel later in the season, try the “Great Rail Adventures,” which starts in London, and takes the Eurostar to Paris. After a few nights there, it’s on to the Bavaria’s magnificent castles, mysterious forests and magical mountains as the backdrop to this amazing tour that includes the Oberammergau “Passion Play.” It also includes a few days of Oktoberfest in the Bavaria area of Germany. Packages like these and other amazing tours are available only during this time of the year and have limited space. It’s often considered at the top of many travel bucket lists, and should not be missed. It can be the perfect gift for the family, for parents, grandparents and children. Travel industry professionals encourage those interested in this amazing opportunity not to delay. After the 2020 performance, it will be another 10 years until the tour returns. ◊

This sheath is called myelin. Although myelin can regrow through exposure to thyroid hormones, researchers have not pursued thyroid hormone therapies due to unacceptable side effects.

Co-author Dennis Bourdette, M.D., chair of neurology in the OHSU School of Medicine and director of the OHSU Multiple Sclerosis Center, says he expects it will be a few years before the compound advances to the stage of a clinical trial involving people. Yet the discovery provides fresh hope for patients in Oregon and beyond. “It could have a significant impact on patients debilitated by MS,” Bourdette says. The discovery appears to accomplish two important goals: ▶▶Myelin repair with minimal side effects: The study demonstrated that the compound — known as sobetirome — promotes remylenation without the severe side effects of thyroid hormone therapy. Thyroid hormone therapy has not been tried in people because chronic elevated exposure known as hyperthyroidism harms the heart, bone and skeletal muscle.
▶▶Efficient delivery: Researchers developed a new derivative of sobetirome (Sob-AM2) that penetrates the blood brain barrier, enabling a tenfold increase in infiltration to the central nervous system. “We’re taking advantage of the endogenous ability of thyroid hormone to repair myelin without the side effects,” says lead author Meredith Hartley, Ph.D., an OHSU postdoctoral researcher in physiology and pharmacology. Co-authors credited the breakthrough to a collaboration that involved scientists and physicians with expertise ranging across neurology, genetics, advanced imaging, physiology and pharmacology.
Potential as a ‘total game-changer’
One patient says the research could
be a “total game-changer” for people with MS. Laura Wieden, 48, has lived with multiple sclerosis since being diagnosed in 1995. The daughter of Portland advertising executive Dan Wieden, she is the namesake and board member of the Laura Fund for Innovation in Multiple Sclerosis, which funded much of the research involved in the study. “I am really optimistic,” Wieden says. “I hope that this will be literally a missing link that could just change the lives of people with MS.” OHSU is working with a California company to bring these molecules toward human trials. Bourdette says even though it may not help his patients today, he’s optimistic the discovery eventually will move from the lab into the clinic. “Right now, what it means is hope,” he says. ☸

YOUR HEALTH | CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Oxygen treatment MAY IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE WITH COPD
M
ORE THAN 11 MILLION Americans live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including more than 210,000 people in Oregon. While there is no cure for COPD, there are treatment options that can drastically improve quality of life for thousands. The American Lung Association is highlighting the value of supplemental oxygen, or oxygen therapy, as a treatment option that may be prescribed by a doctor. Living with a chronic lung disease and the stress of struggling to breathe can be taxing for both the individual and their loved ones. Lack of sufficient oxygen can result in fatigue and make
simple tasks a struggle. Oxygen therapy can help circulate more oxygen into the bloodstream, helping people breathe easier and stay more active. Several devices can deliver oxygen at home, and oxygen equipment can also attach to other medical equipment such as CPAP machines and ventilators. If you or someone you know is living with COPD, keep these tips in mind for oxygen therapy. ▶▶SAFETY: While oxygen therapy is safe it does contribute to flammability as materials in oxygen-enriched environments burn more readily. Proper storage, along with avoiding aerosols, heat and flames will help keep you safe. ▶▶TRAVEL: With supplemental oxygen you are able to travel, whether it be by car, train, plane or boat. Make sure to connect with your mode of transportation prior to departure to learn their
policies and procedures for carrying oxygen. You’ll also want to make sure you’re able to access additional oxygen once you reach your destination. ▶▶SUPPORT: If you have additional questions you can contact registered nurses, respiratory therapists and counselors on the Lung Association’s Lung HelpLine available at 1-800-LUNGUSA or through chat at Lung.org/helpline. ☸ The American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer, to improve the air we breathe, to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. For more information about the American Lung Association, call 1-800-LUNGUSA (1-800-586-4872).

Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and more than 15 million Americans serve as unpaid caregivers. Dementia Support Groups meetings, led by volunteer facilitators, include an education component. However, the bulk of each meeting is composed of sharing from each group member. The best way to describe their value is to hear from the care partners: “They are especially helpful in lessening a sense of isolation and loneliness. I’ve seen the emotional and practical support really help to improve our coping skills, give us a little more of a sense of control in our lives and reduce depression. We have all benefited from sharing resources that we didn’t know about before. The groups are safe places where we can vent, laugh and cry with people who are on a similar journey.” Others say, “It’s a safe environment where you can vent about frustrating situations and know that other people understand you and don’t judge you,” and “I don’t feel like I’m the only person that’s dealing with Alzheimer’s/dementia. I’ve learned so much, not only from the handouts, but from listening to what others in the group have been through.” For more information about attending a Dementia Support Group, call 360-513-5754. ☸
