ASK AN EXPERT

What’s the cure for our plague of illiteracy?

Written English, like nearly all languages, is

based on phonics; letters represent sounds.

Sixteen letters almost always make the same

sound. They’re easy to learn. Only 10 letters

make more than one sound. Learn these and

a few rules, and reading becomes a simple,

logical process. To make America literate

again, we must resume teaching reading by

phonics. Academic Associates students

typically gain two or more grades in reading

in less than 60 hours. Call us today for our

WILL YOUR PET BE JOLLY DURING THE HOLIDAYS?

With the Christmas season approaching fast, all us get distracted by gifts, shopping, and most of all the wonderful decorations.

Yes this season is the time for joy, but are you taking the right measures in making sure your house is pet friendly? You know accidents

happen. To make sure that your pet is safe, just follow these simple steps. Unplug ALL decorative lights around your home when the pet

is left alone. Use pet-proof extension cords. Spraying cords with products, such as Bitter Apple or Chew Stop, will give an unpleasant taste to your pet

so the pet will not be tempted to bite or chew on cords.

The Christmas tree is probably the center piece in holiday decorations, but is the most dangerous as well. Pets “awe” over the decorations on the tree,

enticing them to play, paw , or even cause them to jump on the tree. To stop this, you can build a small gate around the tree, and / or keep the lower

part of the tree free from decorations. Tinsels and ribbons are extremely life threatening to your pet; It may seem like a harmless fabric, but your pet

can tangle its self within the ribbon and may cause suffocation. Glass ornaments can mesmerize dogs and cats, Pets think it is just another ball or toy

to play with. Ornaments can break and your dog or cat can get glass stuck

in their eyes, paws and everywhere else on the body.

we have to be very careful around our pets during the holidays. Rich and

cause vomiting, and dehydration. Things like alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate,

from drinks, gum, mints and candy can KILL your pet. Dogs have an

passed them.

Be Safe

Give the Gift of Sight by Donating Your Used Eyeglasses

Being able to see properly is an important part of health. Worldwide, one out of every four children needs eyeglasses to see well enough to read and learn and ninety percent of adults aged

Unfortunately, a pair of glasses is out of the reach of countless individuals. Many emerging countries lack resources to manufacture quality lenses, and the cost of importing eyeglasses is far beyond the means of the average citizen. Even an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. Millions will fail to reach their economic and social potential because they cannot see.

If you no longer need your used glasses or sunglasses, please consider donating them. We can accept prescription eyeglasses (frames with lenses intact), non-prescription sunglasses and reading glasses. (No lenses without frames, frames without lenses or contact lenses, please.) We will collect, clean, repair and donate the used eyewear to the Lions Club. Individual Lions clubs and districts will redistribute these glasses to the poor in developing countries. Many Lions members deliver the glasses, donating travel expenses, time, and talent to carefully and professionally dispense recycled eyeglasses free of charge. Some people in poorer countries will walk 50 miles or more because they might receive free eyeglasses from the Lions.

This is one of the many ways Dr. Fain and Dr. Hall serve their community. Please stop in and donate your glasses today.

Please stop in and donate your glasses today or call us at 972-279-20/20 for details.

Premier Allergy & Asthma AssociatesWhen will Ragweed season be over???

We hear this question about this time every year as the late effects of ragweed allergy make many miserable all winter long. Research has shown where the allergic antibody directed towards ragweed continues to rise long after ragweed pollen is gone from the air. Our patients on Optimal Dose Allergy Vaccine typically do not have this prolonged ragweed response, once the air clears, the stimulus to make allergic antibody disappears when on treatment. Just when it seems that things have calmed down, along comes the fungus and mold allergy season

Dakotas. Mold season begins with a sudden start, frequently causing many children to have an asthma attack during the Halloween season or before. Those not prone to asthma, but fungus and mold sensitized, may get a serious prolonged sinus infection that could lead to a sinus surgery if not treated effectively and early. Patients on fungus and mold allergy vaccine routinely do much better this time of the year than those who treat their allergies only withantihistamines. It’s time to consider a priceless gift this holiday season for your allergic or asthmatic child. If started early enough, children treated with Optimal Dose allergy vaccine for 3 to 5 years, frequently grow up without as many allergy or asthma related problems. What a gift! It’s a lucky child whose parents are concerned enough to take their time and some expense to treat a child with chronic allergy or asthma, so they might have a chance to grow up without the misery of chronic allergies or asthma. Read the literature* on this subject, make the appointment and the commitment and together we’ll improve your child’s health and happiness.*www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11906360 and 17620073

Christmas is a time full of anticipation and excitement for most children. For children with sensory processing issues, the holidays usually bring a host of changes that can result in behavior changes such as increased anxiety and hyperactivity. The stimulation of decorations everywhere, the unusual smells, and the presence of seldom seen friends and family can be overwhelming. So, what should be a time of enjoyment can end up being very frustrating for both parents and children. What can make this even harder is that all of

TRMC SUNNYVALE OFFERS TIPS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY DIET DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Another holiday season is here, but so is the temptation to dig into bad cholesterol-rich delicacies and high-calorie treats. While there’s no reason to be Scrooge at holiday festivities, Texas Regional Medical Center at Sunnyvale offers some tips for healthy eating.

Eat before attending a partyNoshing on a small salad full of vegetables and no dressing before a night’s festivities may not sound enticing, but it will fill the stomach and keep cravings under control. Add some almonds for protein.

Cut the bad carbsThey may taste great, but many carbohydrates are full of empty calories. Avoid potato chips, white bread and pastries.

“Most holiday weight is gained from eating too many empty calories, including stuffing and rolls,” said Chef Michael Foltz of TRMC-Sunnyvale. “These types

of empty calories---empty carbohydrates---cause bodies to create too much insulin, possibly leading to diabetes.”

Bodies need water, not alcohol, eggnog or soft drinksThere’s no way around it, alcohol, eggnog and soft drinks are nothing but empty calories. Low-calorie diet colas are better options, but water is a natural, no-calorie refresher.

Practice portion controlSample one or two delicious-looking delights, but just take a bite or two. Keep portions under control and eat slowly to savor the food.

“An easy way to practice portion control is to share your plate with your significant other; cut portion size in half,” Foltz said. “No, you don’t need that second helping. Enjoy your food, savor your food and spend time with family and friends.”

DIABETIC FEET NEED SPECIAL CARE ~ MATTHEW BABICH, DPM, AT TRMC

8228 BRUTON RD. DALLAS, TX 75217 214-398-1234

DIA

Because it is common for diabetics to develop foot ulcerations, the American Podiatric Medical Association recommends you

take the following steps if you have diabetes:

Wash your feet daily. Dry carefully with a soft towel, especially between the toes, and dust your feet with talcum powder.

Inspect feet and toes daily. Check your feet for cuts, bruises, sores or changes to the toenails, such as thickening or discoloration.

Lose weight. Being overweight nearly doubles the risk of complications from diabetes.

Wear thick, soft socks. Avoid mended socks or those with seams, which could rub to cause blisters or other skin injuries.

Stop smoking. Tobacco can aggravate diabetes-related circulatory problems.

Cut toenails straight across. Never cut into the corners, or taper, which could trigger an ingrown toenail.

Exercise. Walking is one of the best all-around exercises for diabetics.

See your physician. Regular checkups by your physician are the best way to ensure that you remain healthy.

Don’t go barefoot. It is particularly dangerous to walk barefoot outside because of the possibility of cuts, falls and infection and wear slippers when you’re inside.

Never try to remove calluses, corns or warts by yourself. Also avoid commercial, over-the-counter preparations since they can burn the skin and cause irreparable damage to the foot of a diabetes sufferer.

Never try to cut calluses with a razor blade or any other instrument. The risk of cutting yourself is too high, and cuts can often lead to more serious non-healing wounds.

Don’t wear high heels, sandals or shoes with pointed toes. These can put undue pressure on parts of the foot and contribute to diabetic ulcers. Also avoid open-toed shoes and sandals with straps between the first two toes.

Don’t wear anything that is too tight around the legs. Panty hose, panty girdles, thigh-highs or knee-highs can constrict circulation to your legs and feet. So can men’s dress socks if the elastic is too tight.

Skin CancerSkin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Between 40 and 50 percent of Americans who live to age 65 will develop some sort of skin cancer at least once in their lifetime. The two most common forms are basal cell (BCC) and squamous cell (SCC) carcinomas. Both of these commonly occur on parts of the body excessively exposed to the sun, especially the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders, and back, but can also appear on areas not exposed to the sun. Melanoma is the most serious and most aggressive form of

Asymmetry: If you draw a line through this mole, the two halves will not match.Borders: The borders of an early melanoma tend to be uneven. The edges may be scalloped or notched.Color: Having a variety of colors is another warning signal. A number of different shades of brown, tan or black could appear. A melanoma may also become red or blue .Diameter: Melanomas usually are larger in diameter than the size of the eraser on your pencil (1/4 inch or 6 mm), but they may

It is important to remember that skin cancers are almost 100 percent curable if found early, so annual visits to a trained dermatologist are imperative to maintain ones health.
