WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY

NEUROPATHY? Have you been told there is no treatment for your neuropathy? Is the therapy you are doing now not working? Our dedicated team of experienced providers offers effective treatment for neuropathy that can significantly decrease and possibly eliminate your symptoms, and help you enjoy life again.

The treatment that is provided at Array Medical Center has four main goals: 1.) Increase blood flow 2.) Stimulate small fiber nerves 3.) Decrease brain-based pain 4.) Stabilize the nerve cells The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blood flow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

CALL OUR OFFICE TODAY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DETERMINE IF YOUR NEUROPATHY CAN BE TREATED.

June is finally here. I don’t know about you, but I bet you’re happy the traffic is finally gone, and you can focus on taking care of all of the things you’ve postponed doing around the house because you’ve been socializing and living life with your friends and neighbors.

GET OUTSIDE

SUMMER FUN

It’s time to enjoy the great outdoors

Summer is almost here, and after the particularly challenging winter many experienced this past year, the season of heat is both timely and generally welcome. Looking for some unique ways to get out of the house and enjoy yourself?

Here are some fun ideas to consider: Community Garden Do you have a community garden near where you live? These are often managed by local groups such as the senior center or the town. Each person who signs up is given a small plot of dirt to plant flowers and vegetables. Sometimes fertilizers and tools are provided. All you need to do is show up and plant something, keep the weeds under control and reap the harvest at the end. If you have a community garden but don’t think you can manage a whole

plot, see if you can split it with a friend. If you end up with too many vegetables (think: cucumbers), donate extras to the food bank.

Plein Air Painting Instead of painting in a studio or class, grab an easel and paints (and maybe a chair) and head for the outdoors. Consider watercolor paints instead of oil or acrylic. They dry quickly, and you won’t have to struggle with getting a wet oil painting back home.

With plein air painting, the whole world is your subject. If you’re not familiar with this technique, check for online videos and tutorials. Once you get started you might discover a whole community of plein air artists around you.

Outdoor Qi Gong or Tai Chi These classes can get you out in the fresh air and help with fitness.

Remember that these two disciplines are good for core strength to help you avoid falls.

Investigate all the offerings through the local rec center. Water aerobics, museum field trips, photography meet-ups and golf lessons all are great ways to get outside.

VOLUNTEER

Volunteering has many benefits, especially for seniors!

Mental Benefits As we age, there’s an increase in the likelihood of developing cognitive issues, other memory loss issues and motor function diseases. Staying active stimulates the brain and helps overall cognitive functionality.

Social Benefits It keeps seniors active and in contact with other adults and children, even for a few hours every week, to prevent isolation.

Physical Benefits One study found that less than one third of people age 65-74 are physically active. Inactivity promotes heart issues, bone loss, joint pain and more.

Volunteering helps seniors stay physically active.

Ryan Reynolds, who starred in and co-produced “Deadpool” (which grossed $783 million) and its sequel ($785 million gross), has upped his price and star status. He is reportedly getting $27 million from Netflix to star in “6 Underground,” about a billionaire-financed vigilante squad. Meanwhile, Reynold’s “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” which earned $176 million, has spawned a sequel, “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard,” with Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek (due in 2020).

Will Smith is reportedly being paid a whopping $35 million by Netflix for “Bright 2” (the original “Bright,” with Joel Edgerton, cost $90 million to make). That’s more than the busiest guy in movies, Dwayne Johnson, who makes $20 million per film. Will goes big and wide as the Genie in the live-action “Aladdin” (out May 24), and the animated spy comedy “Spies in Disguise,” with Tom Holland (due Sept. 13).

NOW OUT ON DVD AND BLU-RAY!

Greta (R) A handbag that’s been left on a subway is returned by a good Samaritan to Greta (Isabella Huppert), a grateful but lonely piano teacher. The do-gooder, Frances (Chloe Grace Moretz), has recently lost her mother, and Greta strikes up a friendship with the young woman.

But it turns out Greta is a crazy stalker, and Frances fights to break up with her...then things get weird. This is a psychological thriller with moments of demented levity, but it also contains gaping, level-9 plot holes that may have you rolling your eyes and adding your own commentary, while still enjoying watching Huppert’s crazy lady antics.

A Vigilante (R) Sadie (Olivia Wilde) is a domestic abuse survivor whose preferred method of therapy is revenge, a service she doles out for the similarly situated women and children she meets. Her abuser remains free, and as she consolidates her resolve, she tracks him down for her own kill-shot of closure. It would be easy to have made this strictly a revenge fantasy—Sadie is broken, but also strong and real. The vengeance she exacts is satisfying. While Wilde balances her vigilante with glimpses into the battered victim beneath, director Sarah Daggar-Nickson shares a holistic focus that goes beyond the rage.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 Use an old toothbrush to clean out your combs or small brushes. Spray the comb with alcohol and then use the toothbrush to scrub it clean.

TIP 2 Large dogs can benefit from a raised water and food bowl. Why not make it pretty at the same time by putting a stainless-steel bowl into a decorative planter?

Find a planter and bowl that have the same size opening. Your pup will thank you.

MOMENTS IN TIME

Big events that occurred during the month of June

June 11, 1979 On this day, John Wayne, the iconic American film actor, famous for starring in countless westerns, dies at age 72 after battling cancer for more than a decade.

June 12, 1987 In one of his most famous Cold War speeches, President Ronald Reagan challenges Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down” the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the repressive Communist era in a divided Germany.

June 13, 1966 The Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. Now considered standard police procedure, “You have the right to remain silent...” has been heard so many times in television and film dramas that it has become almost cliche.

June 14, 1985 TWA Flight 847 from Athens to Rome is hijacked by Shiite Hezbollah terrorists who immediately demand to know the identity of “those with Jewish-sounding names.”

Two of the Lebanese terrorists, armed with grenades and a 9-mm. pistol, then forced the plane to land in Beirut, Lebanon.

CUSTOM DRAPES

TIP 3 Store your skewers safely: Once they are clean and dry, wrap in plastic wrap. They will stay together, and the plastic can save you from being poked by the ends when they’re loose in the drawer.

TIP 4 The secret to avoiding stains on your carpet is to get to spills right away. If you have a liquid spill, remove as much of the liquid as you can, then spray the stain with a solution of half vinegar and half water. Let it sit for two minutes, then blot with a towel.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

You might be surprised to learn that some fish can hibernate. During the long, dark winters, the Antarctic cod will burrow under the seabed and stay there for days at a time, cutting its metabolism by two-thirds.

Wearing skinny jeans can cause varicose veins.

Squid are well known for their uncanny ability to camouflage themselves by changing their color to match their background. What’s really odd, though, is the fact that the creatures are color-blind.

Those who study such things say that not all your fingernails grow at the same rate. It seems the nail on your middle finger is a bit of an overachiever—it grows faster than the nails on your other fingers.

You probably didn’t realize there’s a word for it, but a pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

In Switzerland, it is considered to be bad luck to tell anyone your baby’s name before it is born.

MOVING TIPS

NEW HOME

Ways to make unpacking and getting settled easier

When it comes to moving, we usually focus on the process of getting organized and boxing up valuables. But we often forget about the debatably more stressful part of moving: unpacking. In fact, Americans take an average of 182 days— more than six months!—to finally unpack the last box after moving into a new home, according to Duck Brand research.

To make settling into your new home much easier, start by thinking about the process backwards and consider these tips: 1. Measure everything during the home inspection. Use your time on inspection day to collect all room and cabinet dimensions. This will help determine if furniture will fit, where items will go and how much storage is available.

2. Pack based on where it will go, not where it was. Envisioning where items will go in your new

A R IZO N A’S LE A D E R I N M US I C A L T H E AT R E

space is key. Then, label each box with its contents, as well as the room where it should be unpacked.

3. Use plastic bags and tape to keep pieces together. For smooth assembly, use packaging tape and small plastic bags to attach screws, nuts and bolts to the bottom of dismantled furniture. This can prevent losing those small, essential pieces and perhaps even reduce the number of hardware store trips on move-in day.

4. Avoid breaks and spills. Fifty-five percent of Americans have experienced an important item being damaged during a move. To make sure your valuables arrive intact, use products that offer increased protection like bubble wrap cushioning and foam pouches.

5. Pack storage items in plastic bins rather than boxes. While cardboard boxes are an easy and cost-effective way to transport the majority of your belongings, plastic storage containers are more ideal for seasonal items that may not be unpacked, but instead stay in storage. Not only will the bins shield contents from the environment, like a damp basement or dusty attic, but their uniform size also will make it easy to create an organized and efficient storage space.

ELECTRIC CARS

AUTOS

Are they right for you?

As the popularity and availability of electric vehicles (EV) continues to grow in the U.S., a new survey suggests that many consumers still have a lot to learn about the technology.

For example, when asked to choose an acceptable amount of time it should take to charge an EV, the most common answer (28 percent) was ‘‘I don’t know” followed by “30 minutes” (25 percent). The survey was commissioned by MINI USA in advance of the early 2020 U.S. launch of the MINI Cooper SE electric vehicle.

“What we learned from the survey is that the typical consumer might not be aware of the many benefits of electric mobility,” says Andrew Cutler, head of corporate communications, MINI USA. “Helping consumers get a better understanding of EV can help them make smarter,

more informed decisions around their next vehicle purchase.”

For example, 74 percent of consumers surveyed didn’t know where their nearest EV charging station was located, but charging your EV is easier and more accessible than you might think. A whopping 80 percent of EV owners charge their vehicle right at home. Plus, public charging stations are easy to find online through companies like ChargePoint and EVgo, and most available charging stations are visible in the navigation system of the car.

On the other end of the spectrum, 63 percent of those surveyed said they plan to use their EV as a commuting or city car, which is good news for motorists, as experts point out that EVs, which are both fuel efficient and fun to drive, are ideal for everyday commuting and urban driving. Because batteries provide a low center of gravity, electric motors provide fast, powerful acceleration.

Thanks to Federal Tax Credits lowering the upfront cost of qualified EVs, going electric is not just stylish and good for the planet, it may make financial sense, too.

A FATHER’S LOVE

INSPIRE

Tell your father how much you love him

Until you have a son of your own... you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son.

With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme.

Pete Wentz

My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’

Kent Nerburn

Fatherhood is an honor, and men should be strong enough to step up to the plate.

Karamo Brown

Michael Jordan

Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it’s not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.

Andrea Bocelli

Fatherhood didn’t just happen to me. I am deliberately living it, reimagining it, and re-discovering it every day. It is as beautiful as I make it, just like anything else in life.

Hrithik Roshan

Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person.

Naveen Jain

Real fatherhood means love and commitment and sacrifice and a willingness to share responsibility and not walking away from one’s children.

William Bennett

We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well—to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me.

Matthew Modine

Fatherhood is not a matter of station or wealth. It is a matter of desire, diligence and determination to see one’s family exalted in the celestial kingdom.

If that prize is lost, nothing else really matters.

Ezra Taft Benson

My father always used to say that when you die, if you’ve got five real friends, then you’ve had a great life.

22

THE GRAND SEASON • JUNE 2019

Lee Iacocca

I’ve said it before, but it’s absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future.

Liza Minnelli

I imagine God to be like my father. My father was always the voice of certainty in my life.

Certainty in the wisdom, certainty in the path, certainty always in God. For me God is certainty in everything. Certainty that everything is good and everything is God.

SAFE BEVERAGES

HEALTHLY LIFESTYLE

What are you drinking?

by Mario Coss, NMD

With summer fast approaching, it’s time to talk about beverages. What to drink, what not to drink, and why. It will come as little surprise to most who read this that it’s important to drink water, and that drinking sugarsweetened beverages are not the best choice for your health. But let me fill you in on some details to help you make better choices this summer and beyond!

Your body can only process a sugar called fructose at a certain rate. Basically, your liver becomes overwhelmed if there is more than 50 grams of fructose flooding in at any given time. What happens if you go over 50 grams of fructose? Your liver is unable to metabolize the fructose to healthy byproducts like glycogen or directly to convert

the fructose to energy. Those are ideal outcomes.

When you go over 50 grams though, the liver starts turning it into fat. This can cause fatty liver disease and predispose to diabetes, among other negative effects.

A 12 oz can of soda has about 20 grams of fructose in it. So, anything over a 30 oz beverage is going to stress your liver and put your health at risk. Now you know why those 64 oz big gulps at the convenience stores are so dangerous!

I like to be safe and not consume more than 24 oz of any sugary drink at any given meal or sitting.

What about water? Your kidneys don’t necessarily work better when you are over-hydrated, but they suffer tremendously when you are under-hydrated. It’s far more risky to not drink enough, than to drink more than you need. How much do you need? Enough water intake that you urinate 4-7 times per day and it is very light to clear in color.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR DOCTOR’S VISIT The benefits of forgiveness

Visits to the doctor can be very productive with a little preparatory work in advance of the appointment.

“For some people, visits to the doctor can be daunting or even scary, but there are steps you can take beforehand that will improve the experience, foster communication, and, in turn, improve health outcomes,” says Barbara L. McAneny, M.D., president of the American Medical Association (AMA). “By being open and honest with your physician and by asking questions, you can play a key role in preventing the progression of chronic disease and in charting a healthier course.”

Here are six tips for getting more from doctor’s visits: 1. Know your history. A family health history can help your physician and other health care practitioners identify whether you’re at a higher risk for particular conditions and diseases.

2. Be honest. Your doctor will likely ask you about such health habits as alcohol, tobacco and drug use, as well as the amount of exercise you get. It is important to be honest and accurate when answering these questions.

Ask your doctor if you use tobacco, drugs or alcohol, and need help quitting.

3. Make a list. Even if you are just going in for a regular check-up, make a list of the things you want to discuss during your visit and bring it to your appointment. Topics may include symptoms you’ve experienced, ailments you’ve suffered and more.

4. Get screened. Ask your physician about needed health screenings based on your age, sex and other risk factors including family history. Healthfinder.gov is a good resource for finding recommended preventive services.

5. Get immunized. Please discuss with your physician the importance of vaccination. Many immunizations require boosters after time has passed. Make sure you are up-to-date on your immunizations.

6. Know your numbers. Track health data such as your height, weight, body mass index and blood pressure in order to share trends with your doctor and take action if needed. By being prepared with the right questions and information, you can make the most of your next doctor’s visit.

“We had two... air conditioners installed by... Proskill. Every step of the way was exactly as described with no issues what so ever. It was impressive to watch the skilled installation team. The process was excellently choreographed... No mess no fuss. The new systems operate differently... both compressors and fans run at variable rates. Makes for a much more comfortable house... A business owner myself, I can say with conviction that Proskill is a professionally run company.” - Kevin & Angela S “ProSkill has a great team of professinals from start to finish. I replaced both AC units and was amazed at the quality of service, top notch. They don’t cut corners and provide a thorough understanding of all services included. A week following installation, they send another technician who does a thorough review of the work done as an added measure of top quality workmanship.” - Carol H “Jake and Heath know what they are doing. I would hire them in a heartbeat. They are pleasant, clean & professional. They communicate everything that is relevant to what is being done. Do not think twice, hire them to install your new a/c.

things that you use less frequently, like fine china, on the harder-to-reach shelves.

ORGANIZE THE CLUTTER

While we all know that minimalism is “in” right now, thanks to Japanese cleaning guru Marie Kondo and her “Tidying Up” show on Netflix, decluttering your whole house can feel daunting.

Instead, start small with these tips for tackling the areas that tend to collect the most dirt and clutter.

3. Categorize your pantry. Store your food by category, such as breakfast or baking, with the items that are most-used placed front and center. If you have kids, set up a snack zone, so they don’t rifle through other shelves.

4. Organize the junk drawer.

Eighty percent of Americans report that they have at least one junk drawer in their home, but the average household actually has three of these catch-all drawers.

1. Purge your refrigerator weekly. The day prior to garbage collection, clean out your fridge of all leftovers and expired foods, and wipe down the shelves to prevent stickiness and mold from leaking containers.

5. Declutter your linen closet.

To make the linen closet as functional as possible, utilize adjustable dividers to sort textiles and fold sheets into pillow cases to ensure bedding sets stay together. Additionally, ensure your linens are protected from potential damage by installing shelf liners.

2. Add order to kitchen cupboards. When organizing cabinets, place everyday items such as cups and dishes in easily accessible cupboards, and store

Whether you tackle it as part of a purging effort or to simplify your life, the best way to handle decluttering is in stages.

often a simple blood test—is important for higher risk populations, especially baby boomers. The CDC recommends that everyone born between 1945 and 1965 get tested, as this portion of the population is five times more likely to have HCV than other adults.

Other higher-risk populations include current or former drug users, recipients of blood transfusions or organ transplants before July 1992, hemodialysis patients, those who have gotten tattoos or body piercings with nonsterile equipment, workers who have come in contact with infected blood at their jobs, and those with HIV.

HEPATITIS C

CDC

Are you at risk?

Approximately 2.5 million people in the U.S. are living with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and as many as 75 percent of people with the disease don’t know they’re infected.

Untreated, HCV can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis and liver cancer. While these numbers may sound startling, there’s good news, too.

Get Treated, Get Cured If you test positive, your healthcare provider will suggest which medication treatment options are right for you based on your particular circumstances. Today’s treatments typically involve 8-12 weeks of oral medication, and are well tolerated with few side effects.

Thanks to the recent development of direct-acting antiviral medications, treatment of HCV has evolved significantly to be shorter in duration, cause fewer side effects and have cure rates higher than 90 percent for those treated. To encourage testing, treatment and wellness, the following tips are recommended:

Pursue Financial Well-Being After treatment, it’s important to recognize and overcome the financial challenges created by the disease. If you were denied life insurance in the past, consider speaking with a financial advisor to determine how to get affordable coverage.

Get Tested HCV is called “the silent disease” because many with the virus show no symptoms. Therefore, testing—

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

A: W hile there is no solid scientific proof indicating that CBD (cannabinoid) has an effect on pets, many owners claim that supplementing their dog’s or cat’s diet has been calming or even agression reducing.

CBD oil isn’t a cure-all for every health or behavioral issue affecting a pet. It can help with anxiety. Its effects seem to be very subtle, on par with Bach’s Rescue Remedy, a daily homeopathic supplement. But it’s not a substitute for behavioral training and regular outdoor exercise­­—both of which can have a profound effect on a dog’s behavior.

CBD supplements like oil or chews can be given daily at feeding time. Be sure to follow the dosage instructions on the package.

ROWING MACHINES

EXERCISE

They might be the ideal workout for you

If you’ve been going to the gym to work out, or have at least wandered through one to look at the facility and equipment, you might have seen a slightly strange-looking piece of gear.

But best of all, it’s low to the floor. There’s a comfort and safety to their ease use.

To see what an excellent rower looks like, take a look on your computer at something called the Concept 2. This is not a piece of equipment that you want to rush out and buy. First, these pieces of equipment are expensive, even used. Second, they take up a lot of room—an area nearly 9 feet in length. Best to let the gym cover the cost, space, assembly and maintenance!

If you plan on using a rower at the gym, look first at some online videos to see how it’s done. Note the angle of how you sit—don’t lean too far forward or backward. Proper technique will improve results and reduce likelihood of injury.

Chances are that no one was using it. It was probably a rowing machine. Rowing machines, or rowers, are still a niche item among those who work out, and that’s good news for us. It means you might have a chance of using one at the gym without waiting for a turn.

Rowers might turn out to be one of the best pieces of workout equipment for seniors, for a number of reasons. Rowing is done indoors, so it can be done all year. The rowing action uses the major muscle groups—arms, legs, shoulders and back. The rower has easy-to-difficult settings.

Ask for help in learning the pattern of pulling the chain and bending your knees. Within a few minutes you’ll have it right, and chances are, you’ll have the machine all to yourself.

Before you start, ask your doctor about rowing. You’ll likely get a big thumbs up, especially if you combine it with a walking routine.

Arizona’s hot summers and monsoons can cause major damage to your roofs exterior and underlayment. Don’t wait until you have a leak, call Sun City Roofing to inspect your homes roof today! Winter residents should have their roof checked to help prevent costly repairs.

Your roof is one of the most important components of your home. If your roof is over 10 years old, if it has multiple layers or missing shingles or tiles, if there is physical damage, or if you have leaks it’s time to call Sun City Roofing.

MONEY

PROTECTING SENIORS FROM SCAMS

New legislation makes it easier for banks to call authorities

Congress took a big step last year to protect senior’s financial interests. The Senior Safe Act gives immunity to bank employees who call the authorities if they think a senior is being scammed.

It’s not quite that simple, but that’s the end result. Too often when seniors are being scammed, they go to the bank to ask about transferring or withdrawing large sums of money and wiring it to others. In scams, that can mean fake grandchildren or fake IRS employees who have scared us. It’s estimated that seniors lose $3 billion per year to financial exploitation.

Until now, the bank was unable to step in, even if it knew something was wrong, being told that privacy was more important than mere suspicions.

Now certain bank employees, specially trained to identify questionable activities, will have immunity, or freedom from a lawsuit.

And it’s not just banks. Other types of financial institutions also will be given this ability to help. Our investment advisers, brokers, insurance agents, credit unions and others also can train and designate certain employees to act. In return, the institution itself also gets immunity for the disclosure of private information to law enforcement.

That’s not to say it’s now required that banks and other institutions call the police if they suspect a senior is being financially exploited. Authors of the bill hope that by providing immunity, it will encourage financial institutions to step up after they’re trained.

A few states already have this protection against financial elder abuse, but now it’s federal, and all states will need to follow the law. If enough financial institutions sign up for the program, it could go a long way toward helping seniors to avoid being victims.

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 21

1. The Temptations, in 1965. The Jackson 5 recorded it four years later, but it was never released until appearing on their “Come and Get It: The Rare Pearls” album of unreleased material in 2012.

2. “Jelly Jungle (of Orange Marmalade)” by the psychedelic group Lemon Pipers.

3. “A Little Night Music,” by Stephen Sondheim in 1973.

In this case, clowns refers to fools, not a circus.

4. The Association, in 1967. According to BMI, it was the second most-played song of the 20th century.

5. “Love Potion No. 9,” by the Clovers in 1959, and the Searchers in 1964.

The singer talks to a gypsy about his love problem. She reads his palm and recommends a potion, but it makes him fall in love with everyone, including a cop on the street.
