ZETIA® (EZETIMIBE) TABLETS PATIENT INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA (ze˘t´-e¯-a˘) Generic name: ezetimibe (e˘-ze˘t´-e˘-mı¯b)

Read this information carefully before you start taking ZETIA and each time you get more ZETIA. There may be new information.

This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. If you have any questions about ZETIA, ask your doctor. Only your doctor can determine if ZETIA is right for you.

WHAT IS ZETIA? ZETIA is a medicine used to lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in the blood. ZETIA is for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet and exercise alone.

It can be used by itself or with other medicines to treat high cholesterol. You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.

ZETIA works to reduce the amount of cholesterol your body absorbs. ZETIA does not help you lose weight. ZETIA has not been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks.

For more information about cholesterol, see the “What should I know about high cholesterol?” section that follows.

WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE ZETIA? • Do not take ZETIA if you are allergic to ezetimibe, the active ingredient in ZETIA, or to the inactive ingredients. For a list of inactive ingredients, see the “Inactive ingredients” section that follows.

• If you have active liver disease, do not take ZETIA while taking cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins.

• If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, do not take ZETIA while taking a statin.

• If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should use an effective method of birth control to prevent pregnancy while using ZETIA added to statin therapy.

ZETIA has not been studied in children under age 10.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY DOCTOR BEFORE AND WHILE TAKING ZETIA? Tell your doctor about any prescription and non-prescription medicines you are taking or plan to take, including natural or herbal remedies.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including allergies.

Tell your doctor if you: • ever had liver problems. ZETIA may not be right for you.

• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

• are breast-feeding. We do not know if ZETIA can pass to your baby through your milk. Your doctor will discuss with you whether ZETIA is right for you.

• experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.

HOW SHOULD I TAKE ZETIA?

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF ZETIA® (EZETIMIBE)? ®

In clinical studies patients reported few side effects while taking ZETIA. These included diarrhea, joint pains, and feeling tired.

T H E S U N D AY N E W S PA P E R M A G A Z I N E

Patients have experienced severe muscle problems while taking ZETIA, usually when ZETIA was added to a statin drug.

If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking ZETIA, contact your doctor immediately.

You need to do this promptly, because on rare occasions, these muscle problems can be serious, with muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage.

EDITOR Maggie Murphy EXECUTIVE EDITOR Alison Gwinn CREATIVE DIRECTOR Richard Baker MANAGING EDITOR Erin Hollaway PHOTO DIRECTOR Miriam Lorentzen ART DIRECTOR Katherine Bigelow

Additionally, the following side effects have been reported in general use: allergic reactions (which may require treatment right away) including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing, rash, and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with target-shaped lesions; joint pain; muscle aches; alterations in some laboratory blood tests; liver problems; stomach pain; inflammation of the pancreas; nausea; dizziness; tingling sensation; depression; headache; gallstones; inflammation of the gallbladder.

ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Katherine Heintzelman

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL?

COPY CHIEF Chris Cronis SENIOR RESEARCH LIBRARIAN Mireille De Vidas

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your total cholesterol is made up of LDL and HDL cholesterol.

RESEARCHERS Sharon Cappelson, Lou Leventhal

LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the wall of your arteries and form plaque. Over time, plaque build-up can cause a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood fl ow to your heart, brain, and other organs.

High LDL cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease and one of the causes for stroke.

ASSISTANT TO THE EDITOR Patricia Vento

ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR Megan Gagnon

HDL cholesterol is called “good” cholesterol because it keeps the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ZETIA

Judith Newman, Dotson Rader, Connie Schultz,

Medicines are sometimes prescribed for conditions that are not mentioned in patient information leaflets. Do not use ZETIA for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give ZETIA to other people, even if they have the same condition you have.

It may harm them.

This summarizes the most important information about ZETIA. If you would like more information, talk with your doctor. You can ask your pharmacist or doctor for information about ZETIA that is written for health professionals.

• Take ZETIA once a day, with or without food. It may be easier to remember to take your dose if you do it at the same time every day, such as with breakfast, dinner, or at bedtime. If you also take another medicine to reduce your cholesterol, ask your doctor if you can take them at the same time.

For photographer Tom Franklin of New Jersey’s Bergen Record, lower Manhattan on the afternoon of Sept. 11 “was like a battlefield.”

After hours of wandering amid the debris and documenting the frantic rescue efforts, he came upon three firemen raising an American flag and shot what has become one of the day’s most enduring images. “Here was a picture of patriotism and unity, one that demonstrated we would prevail,” Franklin says.

Today, at 8:46 a.m. (ET), the nation will observe a moment of silence to remember those we lost. In this special issue of PARADE, veteran news anchor Tom Brokaw reflects on the indelible lessons of 9/11. We also pay tribute to the strength and resilience of the victims’ families—and share ways you can help their loved ones live on in memory.

How We Remember Ten years after 9/11, we need to come together again as a nation and remind ourselves of the lessons we learned on that long day

FROM TIME TO TIME, my flights into New York City are routed out over the harbor and the Statue of Liberty and then steered north, beginning at the southern tip of Manhattan. Before 9/11, I looked forward to these aerial tours of the world’s greatest skyline.

But no more. Now I am immediately reminded of the missing piece: the World Trade Center. And my heart sinks again as I am pulled back to that long day of violence, terror, death, confusion, grief, and rage. The hole in the skyline is symbolic of the hole in our lives, that moment that took so many of our fellow citizens to their death, plunged others into a lifetime of loss and bewilderment, and blasted all of us out of our comfort zones.

We have the same reaction when we see the evocative memorial next to the Pentagon or the wound in the countryside of Shanksville, Pa. Sept. 11 was without a doubt the single most challenging day of my journalistic career. From the moment I went on the air that morning, I had no idea what would

happen next. There were so many more questions than answers. Who were the hijackers? How could this happen? What was the next target?

At one point, I referred to the burning towers and said, “There is so much structural damage, they may eventually have to be brought down.”

Instantly, I regretted my words, thinking, “Maybe I’ve gone too far.”

Moments later, the buildings began to collapse on their own, and

The hole in the skyline is symbolic of the hole in our lives.”

we all watched in horror, fearing that as many as 20,000 people might still be inside. I kept reminding myself, “Stay cool, tell viewers what you know, not the rumors, and don’t let your emotions spill over.” (I have Irish ancestors on my mother’s side, and those genes take me to the brink of tears pretty easily.)

I was doing relatively fine until later that day when a survivor from one of the towers began to describe his colleagues in wheelchairs who never made it out. I couldn’t stand the thought of those poor souls trapped by their paralysis, waiting for an elevator that never came. I choked up and passed our news coverage to another correspondent who carried on until I regained my composure.

On Sept. 11, it took everything I’d learned in 40 years as a journalist, husband, father, friend, and citizen to make it through.

I came to know other survivors, as well as many family members of the people who died. Their strength steeled me. One was Beverly Eckert. She’d met her husband, Sean, when they were teenagers at a school dance in Buffalo, N.Y., and they called their marriage Camelot because they felt it was a fairy tale.

On the morning of the attacks, Beverly was on the phone with Sean, who worked on an upper floor of the south tower. As she urged him to escape, she saw the skyscraper come down on television.

Beverly became an energetic, articulate activist for the 9/11 families, pushing successfully for an investigative commission and for fair compensation. I so admired her quiet, persistent drive to find some

HOW WE REMEMBER

“I Put Everything In His Hands” The wife of a Pentagon victim finds a lifelong guardian angel

C

ommander Patrick Dunn always told his wife, Stephanie, “If anything happens to me, the navy will take care of you.” On Sept. 11, not long after he called to tell her that the World Trade Center had been hit and that he loved her, American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon. Patrick and 183 other victims were killed. Stephanie was 31 and three months pregnant.

At 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 12, the Pentagon was still smoldering when the navy began to make good on its promise. Cdr. Marshall “Marty” Martin, Stephanie’s casualty assistance officer, and two other naval officers knocked on the door of her Springfield, Va., townhouse to tell her that Patrick was missing. “From the second that I saw [Marty], there was this trust,” Stephanie recalls.

“I put everything in his hands.”

Anytime a member of the military is wounded, killed, or missing, a casualty assistance officer notifies his or her next of kin and guides them through the necessary procedures and forms. Although Marty had been trained as a casualty assistance officer, that night was the first time he’d had to perform those duties. For the next two weeks, Stephanie says, “Marty was always there.” When Patrick’s body was identified, Marty delivered the news. He filled out the endless paperwork. He helped Stephanie select the casket. And he rode with Patrick’s body to New Jersey—where the Dunns held a visitation—and back again.

And, of course, Marty was standing outside the chapel next to Arlington Cemetery after the funeral. “Even though I had my family and my priest with me, it was Marty who I wanted to know was there,” Stephanie recalls.

He continued to be there for everything. When Stephanie’s dad had a stroke shortly after 9/11, Marty was the first person she called. He visited her dad during his recovery. “That’s when Marty became a brother,” she

says. He was at the hospital to meet Stephanie and Patrick’s baby, Allie, the morning after her birth in March 2002.

The caring was mutual. “I was single at the time, and Stephanie and her mom tried to fix me up,” Marty says, laughing. When he introduced them to a woman he was dating named Sarah, Stephanie and her family were thrilled. In the summer of 2002, Stephanie flew to their wedding in Minnesota, where she toasted Marty’s loyalty. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the room,” she says.

The next year, Marty and Sarah were in the wedding party when Stephanie married a naval officer, then-Cdr. Paul DeSimone, in Virginia. “Paul and I had our first dance to Josh Groban’s ‘You’re Still You,’ and I looked over at Marty and his face was covered with tears.”

Although Stephanie and Marty have lived on different coasts for years—she’s on the west coast, he’s on the east—they’ve kept up by phone and email. Of their friendship, “which came out of the ashes,” she says, “Marty taught me that complete strangers can turn out to be incredible guardian angels.” —Kate Meyers

resolution to that awful event.

Now, 10 years later, I hope that we’ll remember how we came together as a nation. We mourned as a family and found common ground on which to move forward. We saw political adversaries stand side by side on the Capitol steps as they sang “God Bless America.” We watched proudly as young men and women enlisted in the military, knowing they’d soon be in harm’s way.

When war came and there were differences about why we were fighting, we had spirited but appropriate debates. When protesters took to the streets, there were no scenes of car burnings, tear gas, and billy clubs but of civil demonstration. We waited patiently in airport security lines as new federal agencies tried to sort out what was effective and what was merely symbolic.

Today, so much of that common fabric of united response has frayed. In the years since 9/11, we’ve been beset on another front by our economic excesses and our failure to honor the fundamental laws of financial risk.

We’ve gone about our lives with too little connection to the sacrifices of those fighting for us far away and the sacrifices of their families living just down the street or seated in the next row at our houses of worship.

Here are some things worth contemplating as we recall that surreal day in 2001 when innocent passengers on civilian planes became the first victims of the terrorists whose abhorrent actions changed all of our lives forever. continued on page 11

* Subject to eligibility rules. Restrictions apply.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SYMBICORT Important Safety Information About SYMBICORT for Asthma SYMBICORT contains formoterol, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA).

LABA medicines such as formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether budesonide, the other medicine in SYMBICORT, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with formoterol.

SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or that your asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care provider if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. It is important that your health care provider assess your asthma control on a regular basis. Your doctor will decide if it is possible for you to stop taking SYMBICORT and start taking a long-term asthma control medicine without loss of asthma control.

Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

SYMBICORT does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden asthma symptoms.

Be sure to tell your health care provider about all your health conditions, including heart conditions or high blood pressure, and all medicines you may be taking. Some patients taking SYMBICORT may experience increased blood pressure, heart rate, or change in heart rhythm.

Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed. While taking SYMBICORT, never use another medicine containing a LABA for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines, as using too much LABA may cause chest pain, increase in blood pressure, fast and irregular heartbeat, headache, tremor, and nervousness.

Patients taking SYMBICORT should call their health care provider or get emergency medical care: • if you experience serious allergic reactions including rash, hives, swelling of the face, mouth and tongue, and breathing problems.

• if you think you are exposed to infections such as chicken pox or measles, or if you have any signs of infection. You may have a higher chance of infection.

• if you experience an increase in wheezing right after taking SYMBICORT, eye problems including glaucoma and cataracts, decreases in bone mineral density, swelling of blood vessels (signs include a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of arms or legs, flu like symptoms, rash, pain, and swelling of the sinuses), decrease in blood potassium and increase in blood sugar levels.

If you are switching to SYMBICORT from an oral corticosteroid, follow your health care provider’s instructions to avoid serious health risks when you stop using oral corticosteroids.

Common side effects include nose and throat irritation, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, sinusitis, stomach discomfort, flu, back pain, nasal congestion, vomiting, and thrush in the mouth and throat.

Approved Uses for SYMBICORT for Asthma SYMBICORT is a medicine for the treatment of asthma for people 12 years and older whose doctor has determined that their asthma is not well controlled with a long term asthma control medicine such as an inhaled corticosteroid or whose asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. SYMBICORT is not a treatment for sudden asthma symptoms.

People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) medicines, such as formoterol (one of the medicines in SYMBICORT), have an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether budesonide, the other medicine in SYMBICORT, reduces the risk of death from asthma problems seen with formoterol.

SYMBICORT should be used only if your health care provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a longterm asthma control medicine, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, or that your asthma is severe enough to begin treatment with SYMBICORT. Talk with your health care provider about this risk and the benefits of treating your asthma with SYMBICORT. If you are taking SYMBICORT, see your health care provider if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. It is important that your health care provider assess your asthma control on a regular basis. Your doctor will decide if it is possible for you to stop taking SYMBICORT and start taking a long-term asthma control medicine without loss of asthma control.

Get emergency medical care if: ■ breathing problems worsen quickly, and ■ you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems.

Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may be at increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.

WHAT IS SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT is an inhaled prescription medicine used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two medicines:

■

Budesonide (the same medicine found in Pulmicort Flexhaler™, an inhaled corticosteroid).

Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms ■ Formoterol (the same medicine found in Foradil® Aerolizer®). LABA medicines are used in patients with COPD and asthma to help the muscles in the airways of your lungs stay relaxed to prevent asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles in the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe, which, in severe cases, can cause breathing to stop completely if not treated right away SYMBICORT is used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as follows: Asthma SYMBICORT is used to control symptoms of asthma and prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children ages 12 and older.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both.

SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is used long-term, two times each day, to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD.

WHO SHOULD NOT USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT to treat sudden severe symptoms of asthma or COPD or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in SYMBICORT.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER BEFORE USING SYMBICORT? Tell your health care provider about all of your health conditions, including if you: ■ have heart problems ■ have high blood pressure ■ have seizures ■ have thyroid problems ■ have diabetes ■ have liver problems ■ have osteoporosis ■ have an immune system problem ■ have eye problems such as increased pressure in the eye, glaucoma, or cataracts ■ are allergic to any medicines ■ are exposed to chicken pox or measles ■ are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if SYMBICORT may harm your unborn baby

■

are breast-feeding. Budesonide, one of the active ingredients in SYMBICORT, passes into breast milk. You and your health care provider should decide if you will take SYMBICORT while breast-feeding Tell your health care provider about all the medicines you take including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. SYMBICORT and certain other medicines may interact with each other and can cause serious side effects. Know all the medicines you take. Keep a list and show it to your health care provider and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine.

HOW DO I USE SYMBICORT? Do not use SYMBICORT unless your health care provider has taught you and you understand everything. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have any questions.

Use SYMBICORT exactly as prescribed. Do not use SYMBICORT more often than prescribed.

SYMBICORT comes in two strengths for asthma: 80/4.5 mcg and 160/4.5 mcg. Your health care provider will prescribe the strength that is best for you. SYMBICORT 160/4.5 mcg is the approved dosage for COPD. ■ SYMBICORT should be taken every day as 2 puffs in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening.

■ Rinse your mouth with water and spit the water out after each dose (2 puffs) of SYMBICORT. This will help lessen the chance of getting a fungus infection (thrush) in the mouth and throat.

■ Do not spray SYMBICORT in your eyes. If you accidentally get SYMBICORT in your eyes, rinse your eyes with water. If redness or irritation persists, call your health care provider.

■ Do not change or stop any medicines used to control or treat your breathing problems.

Your health care provider will change your medicines as needed.

■ While you are using SYMBICORT 2 times each day, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) for any reason. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines.

■ SYMBICORT does not relieve sudden symptoms.

Always have a rescue inhaler medicine with you to treat sudden symptoms. If you do not have a rescue inhaler, call your health care provider to have one prescribed for you.

Call your health care provider or get medical care right away if: ■ your breathing problems worsen with SYMBICORT ■ you need to use your rescue inhaler medicine more often than usual ■ your rescue inhaler does not work as well for you at relieving symptoms ■ you need to use 4 or more inhalations of your rescue inhaler medicine for 2 or more days in a row ■ you use one whole canister of your rescue inhaler medicine in 8 weeks’ time ■ your peak flow meter results decrease. Your health care provider will tell you the numbers that are right for you ■ your symptoms do not improve after using SYMBICORT regularly for 1 week

WHAT MEDICATIONS SHOULD I NOT TAKE WHEN USING SYMBICORT? While you are using SYMBICORT, do not use other medicines that contain a long-acting beta2agonist (LABA) for any reason, such as ■ Serevent® Diskus® (salmeterol xinafoate inhalation powder) ■ Advair Diskus® or Advair® HFA (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) ■ Formoterol-containing products such as Foradil Aerolizer, Brovana®, or Perforomist®

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS WITH SYMBICORT? SYMBICORT can cause serious side effects.

■ Increased risk of pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract infections if you have COPD. Call your health care provider if you notice any of these symptoms: increase in mucus production, change in mucus color, fever, chills, increased cough, increased breathing problems ■ Serious allergic reactions including rash; hives; swelling of the face, mouth and tongue; and breathing problems. Call your health care provider or get emergency care if you get any of these symptoms

■ ■

■ ■ ■ ■

Immune system effects and a higher chance for infections Adrenal insufficiency–a condition in which the adrenal glands do not make enough steroid hormones Cardiovascular and central nervous system effects of LABAs, such as chest pain, increased blood pressure, fast or irregular heartbeat, tremor, or nervousness Increased wheezing right after taking SYMBICORT Eye problems, including glaucoma and cataracts. You should have regular eye exams while using SYMBICORT Osteoporosis. People at risk for increased bone loss may have a greater risk with SYMBICORT Slowed growth in children. As a result, growth should be carefully monitored Swelling of your blood vessels. This can happen in people with asthma Decreases in blood potassium levels and increases in blood sugar levels

We need to be citizens again, offering our assistance to others.

By doing so, we’ll show we can be more than the sum of our parts. Throughout our communities, states, and nation, on rural Main Streets and in countries around the globe, Uncle Sam needs us.

We need to listen to each other more and shout less. The 9/11 attacks were the beginning of an unexpected passage in American life in a new century, and no one group has all the answers.

Because of technology, our planet, even with its growing number of inhabitants, is more connected than ever before. By the same token, it is more competitive. We cannot keep our place as the greatest nation on Earth if we are a self-absorbed, deeply divided people, too quick to forget the unity that prevailed immediately after 9/11.

We owe those who lost their lives that day and in the resulting wars a common commitment to the values they personified, the values that have made this an exceptional country.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

“For 40-Years, I was tortured with unbearable indigestion”

Confessions of an acid reflux victim “And How I BEAT the indigestion Nightmare that Almost Killed Me!” The following is the true story of Ralph Burns, former acid reflux sufferer.

Here’s My Story: I've Suffered With Acid Reflux for Almost 40-Years Now. Unless you experience it; you can’t imagine how horrible it is. Every time I ate spicy foods I would get what I called "ROT GUT". Like something was rotting in my stomach. But now I can eat anything… No matter how spicy. Even if I never could before.

Let me explain…

For the better part of my life; I purposely avoided a lot of foods.

Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I’d experience a burning sensation through my esophagus— like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that, those disgusting ‘mini-throw ups’ and I was in ‘indigestion hell’.

“I was beside myself. What was I gonna do? Keep taking the pills, or suffer with problems that could ultimately be my demise.”

Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked.

Or if they di d, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return.

Sometimes, I felt like I was dying.

The pain was unbearable and nothing could make it stop.

But then my wife, who occasionally suffered with the same problem; gave me one of her prescription acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live again. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wanted to kill myself. But thankfully, it worked, and worked well.

I felt great, until about one year ago; when I read an FDA warning that scared the heck out of me. It went something like this…

FDA WARNING! Using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long term basis, increases your risk of hip, bone and spinal fractures. That's a particular concern to me, since many acid blockers are PPI's. I've gone through two back surgeries and bilateral hip replacements. I had to ask myself, could PPI's have been responsible for my medical woes? After all…

“The Recommended treatment for Prilosec®, Prevacid® and all other PPI's is only 14 days— I TOOK THEM FOR 14 YEARS!” I was “between a rock and a hard place”. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a “dead man in the water”. It would be unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat anything. I’d have to go on a water diet.

But that FDA warning was scary.

I knew I had to stop or else risk developing spinal stenosis. My mother had that. And I watched her die a horrible death. Her spine just fractured. It was the worst death. She didn't deserve that. And neither do I.

“Every time I ate something that didn't agree with me…

I’d get what I called ‘Rot Gut’, like my stomach was rotting out!”

I had to quit. So I stopped taking PPI's for a day or so. But my indigestion was worse than ever. I would rather take the chance of a spinal fracture than to live like that again. I tried everything. Even started using home remedies like Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt like I was pouring even more acid down my throat.

Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said "why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!” The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®. I was skepti-

63-year old Ralph Burns enjoying a spicy-hot portion of Lobster Fra Diavolo. Just 15-Minutes after taking AloeCure®

cal, but I was desperate! So instead of being an ingrate I decided to try it.

I was shocked! AloeCure® tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape flavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPI's altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then something remarkable happened…

NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion.

And here’s the best part. The next day we had Italian food — my worst enemy. But for the first time in 40-years I didn't get indigestion without relying on prescription or OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just didn’t need them anymore!

I was so thrilled; I wrote the AloeCure® company to tell them how amazing their product is. They thanked me, and asked me to tell my story... the story that changed my life. I said “Sure, but only if you send me a hefty supply of AloeCure®. I just can't live without it.

But don't believe me. You have to try this stuff for yourself. I recommend AloeCure® to anyone who suffers with the same problem I did. It gives you immediate relief. You'll be grateful you did. I sure am. It's the best thing that's happened to me in a long, long time.

TRY IT 100% RISK-FREE! The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free bonus gifts with every order— they’re yours to keep no matter what.

That’s enough AloeCure® for 30days of powerful digestive relief, absolutely FREE! But hurry! This is a special introductory offer, reserved for our readers only.

Giving 9/11 Families a Voice This group helps those affected by the tragedy help each other

Helping Others Soar A pilot’s widow supports young people’s dreams of flying

L

eRoy Homer Jr. was born to fly. As a child, he’d fall asleep gazing at the model airplanes hanging above his bed. On weekends he and his father would go to the airport and spend hours watching jets take off and land.

Homer put himself through flight school in his teens and earned his private pilot’s license. After high school, he attended the Air Force Academy. He served in the military for seven years— in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm and later flying humanitarian missions to Somalia—before leaving active duty to become a pilot for United Airlines. He and his wife, Melodie, met—where else?—at an airport.

On Sept. 11, Homer, 36, died doing what he loved most. He was the first officer on United Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field after passengers and crew members fought back against terrorists who’d seized the plane’s controls. A devastated Melodie was left to raise their 10-month-old daughter, Laurel, by herself. Soon after 9/11, she thought about finding a way to pay tribute to her husband, “but emotionally I wasn’t ready. Then one of LeRoy’s friends took me out to lunch and said, ‘If you want to do something, I’ll help you get it up and running.’ ” Out of that conversation came the LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Foundation (leroyhomer.org), which since 2003 has provided flight-school scholarships to up to three students a year, helping them earn a private pilot’s license and pursue a career as a pilot. “Having your license can make it

n a late September day in 2001, Mary Fetchet headed to the Family Assistance Center in lower Manhattan.

Her son Brad, 24, a trader whose office was on the 89th floor of the south tower of the World Trade Center, had died in the attacks. A social worker, Fetchet thought one way to cope with her grief would be to help other trauma victims. At a conference a few years earlier, she’d heard a woman who lost her daughter in the Oklahoma City bombing talk about how the tragedy affected the whole community, and what people needed in order to heal. As she observed the bereaved family members at the center, she thought back to that speech. “All these people,” she recalls, “would need guidance to navigate the complicated systems ahead.”

The guidance began that October in Fetchet’s New Canaan, Conn., living room. “I invited local families to our house because a lot of the women had small children and couldn’t easily get to New York City to attend information sessions.” Those weekly meetings were the first whispers of Voices of September 11th (voicesofsept11.org), an organization founded by Fetchet and 9/11 family member Beverly Eckert (whom Tom Brokaw describes in his essay; Eckert died in 2009) to provide assistance and social services to those directly affected by the attacks: family members, survivors, and rescue workers. Its expanding number of programs include support groups; the 9/11 Living Memorial Project, which helps people create tributes to loved ones; and the Day of Remembrance Information Forum, held every year on Sept. 10.

“Voices has connected me to other 9/11 families, which has been a huge help,” says Duane Orloske, STRONGER TOGETHER a Connecticut resident The Fetchets united 9/11 families after their whose wife, Margaret, son Brad (inset) died. died in the attacks.

“There’s no substitute for being able to talk to other people who share this common experience. You’re automatically bonded.”

The key to the organization’s success—some 13,000 families now belong—has been the determination of Fetchet and her husband, Frank, to understand and respond to the constantly changing needs of the 9/11 community. “The 9/11 population keeps moving through time,” Frank says.

“The public might think, ‘Gee, that was 10 years ago. Haven’t they put that behind them?’ I’ve learned there’s no putting it behind you. At best, you tuck it away in a safe place and learn to live your life.” —Joanne Kaufman

easier to get into the Air Force Academy or the Naval Academy,” says Melodie, a nurse who lives in southern New Jersey.

“It’s competitive to get into the academies, so showing you have an aptitude for flight gives you an edge.” She and foundation members also visit schools. “We talk to students about considering aviation as a career. That’s another part of our mission.”

She proudly describes the scholarship winners as “an exceptional group,” adding, “They’ve become like an extended family to me.” Among them is Michael Scott, 25, who so adored the roar and rush of planes when he was a kid that he, too, would hang out at a local airport. Scott graduated from the Naval Academy and is now a lieutenant junior grade in the navy. “I was able to earn my pilot’s license in high school, which helped so much when I went to navy flight training,” he says. “That experience was vital.”

Melodie says that her husband would have wanted to be memorialized by a foundation that enables young people to fulfill their own dreams of flying.

On a recent day, Melodie, who has flown only on larger airplanes, excitedly says, “I’m going up in a single-engine plane today for the first time! It’s with a scholarship winner. If I’m going to go with anyone, I’m glad it’s with one of them.” —Joanne Kaufman

A Small Town Opens Its Heart The citizens of Shanksville, Pa., keep vigil at the United Flight 93 crash site

W

hen Ben Wainio sits on a bench in southwestern Pennsylvania and gazes at a hillside dotted with wildflowers, he says he can feel the presence of his daughter, Elizabeth. She was 27 and a passen-

ger on United Flight 93 when it went down in a field next to the rural town of Shanksville, after the passengers and crew courageously stopped the terrorists who’d seized control of the plane.

The peacefulness of Shanksville, pop. 237, is a source of comfort for the Baltimore father. So are the “ambassadors”—the group of volunteers who staff the crash site and who’ve taken the

families of the flight’s 40 people into their hearts and homes. “They’ve given us love,” says Wainio, 66, who drives to Shanksville about six times a year. “They’ve made the most difficult thing in my life easier.”

Flight 93 struck with such force that it shook Donna Glessner’s house, three miles away. In December 2001, the mother of two went to the field and was concerned by what she found. “I saw visitors filming a nearby scrap-metal business, and they thought it was wreckage from the plane,” recalls Glessner, 53. “They took pictures of a pond and said it was the crater caused by the crash. There was so much misinformation.” She put out word that she was looking for resi-

their families wish they could be here to greet them,” she says.

“We are their surrogates.”

On a July day in 2002, Kathie Shaffer, Glessner’s 56-year-old sister and also an ambassador, gave a talk to a group of 30 people. When she finished, a tall man in the back said, “My daughter was on the plane.”

It was Ben Wainio.

The retired banker spent two hours telling Shaffer about Elizabeth, a young woman with an infectious smile. With Shaffer by his side, Wainio hung a laminated photo of his daughter on the fence enclosing the crash site, which was already covered with flags, wreaths, and other pictures.

Wainio and Shaffer’s friendship has only deepened since he and other family members began making regular trips to Shanksville to plan the permanent Flight 93 National Memorial (www.honorflight93.org), run by the National Park Service.

Some of the ambassadors, including Glessner, are also actively involved in the project.

The memorial is not yet complete (funds are still needed to finish it), but as of Sept. 10, the public can view the crash site from a plaza that contains white marble panels inscribed with the names of the 40 victims.

Deborah Borza, whose 20-year-old daughter, Deora, was the youngest person on Flight 93, says that knowing the ambassadors were there day after day gave her the strength to return to her job and life in California. “They’re the living, breathing flame that’s always lit,” she says. Or, as a grateful Esther Heymann, Elizabeth Wainio’s stepmother, puts it, “Out of the worst of humanity came the best of humanity.”

We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills, pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that.

With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EdenPURE® heats better, faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

A major cause of residential fires in the United States is portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professionals everywhere, the EdenPURE® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE®.

Accept no imitations.

The EdenPURE® can also help you feel better. Unlike EdenPURE® imitators, it will not reduce humidity or oxygen in the room. These imitators use ceramic plates instead of our patented copper. Cheap ceramic plates reduce humidity, dry

Never be cold again

How it works:

Heats floor to the same temperature as ceiling.

out your sinuses and make your skin dry. With other heating sources, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced space-age EdenPURE ® also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Other heating sources heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated high and to the center of the room. And as you know, portable heaters only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EdenPURE®, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE®? First, the EdenPURE ® uses less energy to create heat than many other sources, but that is just part of why it will cut a person’s heating bill. The EdenPURE® will heat a room in minutes. You will immediately notice the difference! Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your house to as low as 50 degrees, but the room you are occupy-

ing, which has the EdenPURE ® , will be warm and comfortable.

Your EdenPURE ® easily moves from room to room.

Using zone heating keeps you comfortable and reduces your heating bills. This can drasti-

cally cut heating bills; in some instances, the savings may be substantial.

The EdenPURE® will pay for itself in weeks. It will keep a great deal of extra money in a user’s pocket. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE® will provide even greater savings as time goes by.

The EdenPURE® Personal Heater comes with a comprehensive three year warranty and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee – EdenPURE® will even pay for

the return shipping. There is absolutely no risk. And EdenPURE ® is the only portable heater with a National Service Network.

HOW WE REMEMBER

Legacies of Hope In the wake of 9/11, hundreds of scholarships, advocacy groups, and community service programs were created in memory of the victims. This is just a partial list of the countless ways you can honor those who were lost.

Brooke Jackman Foundation Thousands of children have learned to read because of Brooke Jackman, a 23-year-old who loved books and who died in the twin towers. In October 2001, her family founded an organization that funds literacy programs and gives books, backpacks, and school supplies to kids in the New York City area. brookejackman foundation.org THE GIFT OF READING Erin Jackman works with kids in tribute to her late sister, Brooke.

Camp Haze Started in 2002 by the family of Scott Hazelcorn, a bond trader, Camp Haze offers a weeklong, allexpenses-paid summer adventure for kids who lost a loved one on 9/11 or in other tragic circumstances. Every year, nearly 100 children reconnect with friends and counselors at the same New York campsite where Scott spent happy summers when he was young. camphaze.org

H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 The Healing Emergency Aid Response Team was created in 2007 by four retired first responders who’d helped out at ground zero after 9/11. Drawing on its members’ years of experience, this group of former cops, firefighters, and rescue workers assists and rebuilds after disasters.

The team has gone to both New Orleans and Haiti. heart911.org

MyGoodDeed To celebrate his brother Glenn’s generous spirit, Jay Winuk joined with friend David Paine to form MyGoodDeed, a nonprofit that rallies people around giving back on Sept. 11 and sharing their acts online. As a result of their lobbying, in 2009 President Obama declared every Sept. 11 a National Day of Service and Remembrance.

911day.org

Peter C. Alderman Foundation Peter C. Alderman, 25, was at a conference at Windows on the World in the north tower when the first plane hit. In 2003, his parents started an organization to help other victims of terrorism and mass violence. It has built six trauma treatment centers in Uganda and Cambodia and will soon open a clinic in

Liberia that will also train mental health providers. petercalderman foundation.org Shelley A. Marshall Foundation Budget analyst Shelley Marshall had three passions: enjoying afternoon tea, encouraging reading and creativity in kids, and looking out for senior citizens. After she died in the Pentagon, her husband, Donn, used her life-insurance money to start a foundation that reflects those passions.

It sponsors reading hours in libraries, tea parties at nursing homes, and writing contests for students. shelleysfoundation.org Tunnel to Towers Sept. 11 was a day off for firefighter Stephen Siller, who was on his way to New Jersey to play golf when he heard about a fire at the World Trade Center.

He turned his car around and headed there, only to be stopped at the BrooklynBattery Tunnel. So Siller left his vehicle and ran through the tunnel; he made it to the buildings, where he died in the line of duty. In memory of that run, his siblings organized the annual Tunnel to Towers 5K race in 2002.

The event has since raised $10.5 million for burn centers, injured soldiers, and children who have lost one or both parents. tunneltotowersrun.org For more 9/11-related organizations, go to Parade.com/911

Beyond the 11th Susan Retik’s husband was killed on American Airlines Flight 11 when it crashed into the north tower. The Massachusetts mother decided to take the huge outpouring of support she received and extend it to widows in Afghanistan, where some of the 9/11 hijackers had trained. Her organization has helped provide grants for education and small businesses to more than 10,000 Afghan women and their families. beyondthe11th.org

On this 10th anniversary of 9/11, I’m reminded of a question we published from a reader who wondered about the enormity of it all. I thought you might like to see it again.

Medical science often performs masterstrokes that would have astonished people of earlier eras, but as we now take progress for granted, these great deeds lack the capacity to shock.

Take the polio vaccine.

Once it was approved, doctors were suddenly able to save thousands of people from a terrible fate simply by administering an injection.

It is far harder to create than to destroy. That’s why the builders of our world are the ones honored by history.
