FLU VACCINE AVAILABLE IN-OFFICE!!!

Posted by:

Flu Vaccines for the coming flu season are available in office.  The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends to get them as early as NOW.  It takes 10-14 days after you receive your vaccine injection to build immunity. The longevity of the vaccine will get you through the whole flu season so it is a MYTH to wait later until you start seeing more of a flu outbreak!  And remember, the main reason for flu vaccine is not just to improve immunity for the individual themselves, but to decrease the risk of contracting the Flu virus and spreading to infants and children, child-bearing mothers, the immunocompromised (such as people with cancer, recent hospitalization, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease (i.e. Rheumatoid Arthritis/Lupus/and others), and the elderly, etc.  YOU CAN SAVE LIVES BY GETTING YOUR FLU VACCINE! Call our office or walk in to get yours during business hours!

Omega 3 Fatty Acids & Prostate Cancer…Linked or Not?

Posted by:

The appropriate answer to this headline is…still unclear.  A recent study was released that found a potential link between Omega 3 Fatty Acids and risk for developing prostate cancer.  Omega 3 fatty Acids  are not only the main health benefit in Fish Oil supplements, but naturally found in certain foods such as certain fish, nuts, avocado, and other common foods.  They are often recommended to improve cardiovascular disease, specifically higher amounts are used to reduce high triglycerides which are part of our Lipid (cholesterol) Panel.  They are also often recommended in joint health, to reduce inflammation, and to improve skin, hair, and nails.  The recent studies were really unclear on whether the high amounts of Omega 3 Fatty Acids were a direct causation of increased prostate cancer risk, if there was a correlation, or just incidental.  For now, speak to your healthcare provider first to discuss whether you should continue to include Omega 3 Fatty Acids in your daily diet.  For more information, and a breif overview and commentary from The American Cancer Society, follow this link. http://www.cancer.org/cancer/news/news/omega-3-fatty-acids-linked-to-increase-in-prostate-cancer-risk

Enlightened!

Posted by:

We are approaching 200 members of Scottsdale Premier Care and now 3 weeks into seeing patients and it has been quite an enlightening experience for everyone! Many members have already taken the opportunity to complete their Annual Health Assessment and Preventative Exam which provides more than your typical “Complete Physical Exam” in traditional medicine. I have been able to spend over an hour with patients, discussing many important risk factors, health and nutrition education, and help attain an improved quality of life. Visit our Services section to see a comprehensive list of non-insurance covered diagnostic studies and labs that are available as part of the Scottsdale Premier Care membership during the Annual Health Assessment.  We look forward to sharing this experience in our newly renovated office!
