Reasons toDelay

Buying aHomeCompliments of Ed Wohlfiel

Assuming you have the financialresources and the desire to eventu-ally own your own home, there arevery few good reasons to put off thepurchase. You can miss out onyears of appreciation if you do.

The main thing you want toavoid when buying a home is beingput in a position where you willhave to sell it too soon. If you haveto sell a home before it has appreci-ated enough to cover the costs and

commissions of selling, you couldfind yourself in a financial bind.This is especially true for thosewho buy a home with a down pay-ment of ten percent or less.

Real Estate commissions tradi-tionally run around six percent of ahomes sales price. The sellers clos-ing costs generally come to aboutone and a half percent. You can seehow this can easily exceed the firstyears appreciation. If you made aminimal down payment, you couldactually have to come up with cashout of pocket to sell your home.

New to the Area A very good to reason to delay

buying a home is if you have just

moved to an unfamiliar area orregion of the country. It makessense to rent for a number ofmonths before deciding on exactlywhere you want to live. Often whenpeople buy a home immediatelythey find that they might havemade a better decision if they hadwaited awhile.

Uncertain Job FutureYou could be right out of college

or expecting a promotion and atransfer. Or your company hasannounced an impending"restructuring." If any of theseapply, it might be best to wait tobuy a home. When you have a moreaccurate picture of what your nextfew years will be like, that will be

the time to buy.

Marital ProblemsReal estate agents see a lot of life

unfold before their eyes. One of thesaddest occurs when former clientsdivorce and are forced to sell arecently purchased house. It hap-pens all too often when a family inturmoil decides that buying a newhome may help resolve their prob-lems. Perhaps it is inevitable thatsuch problems occur, but selling ahome before it appreciates can cre-ate an additional financial burdenin an already difficult situation.

ings and freshness are our priorities. We purchase asmany of our ingredients locally as possible, and weeven have our own herb garden right here on thegrounds. We believe that the little details make thedifference for our guests.

4/6

By Tom Ogren

Some years ago I wrote several articles touting

the use of local honey to help alleviate seasonalpollen allergy/hay fever symptoms. I wrote thatI had seen local honey used numerous times

with very good effect, that it was relatively safe,was inexpensive, and that the honey itself also

had other health benefits that might be good for

people with allergies.I wrote that the honey used ought to be raw

honey, unheated, unpasteurized, and that the

more local the honey was, the more it was apt tobe effective. The theory works like this: the pol-

lens you are most likely to be allergic to, arethose found in the area where you live and work,

the pollen grains coming from local trees,

shrubs, grasses, vines and flowers in your ownimmediate area.

The local honeybees, the bees that live and

harvest pollen and nectar in your own neighbor-hood, they are collecting the exact same kind ofpollen grains that you would be most allergic to.Small amounts of this same pollen (and otherpossible local allergens associated with flowers)will be found in the honey these bees make.

Allergy therapy is roughly based on three con-cepts:

1. Avoidance: Avoid what is triggering yourown allergies - hence the prime importance ofallergy-free gardening. It makes NO sense toplant highly allergenic plants in your own yard;doing so will just over-load your immune systemwith allergens.

2. Immunotherapy: Verysmall amounts of the allergensare taken over a long period oftime, allowing the body tobuild up resistance to the aller-gens. This is the same thing anallergist does when they give

someone allergy shots. This isalso the same thing that canhappen when local honey isused over a prolonged periodof time.

3. Antihistamines, drugs:This, unfortunately, is the mostcommon way of dealing withthe problem of pollen allergies.Doctors prescribe billions ofdollars worth of prescriptiondrugs to stifle the effects of theallergies. Many millions of dol-lars worth of other similar non-prescription drugs are simplybought over the counter, againto damper down the hyperimmune system, to get relieffrom the allergies.

Lets take a quick look at the

three concepts of how to deal

with pollen allergies, at the good and bad pointsof all three.

Avoidance is the best, by far. There are no neg-

ative side effects from simply avoiding whateverit is that makes one feel bad; it is the utmost ofcommon sense. Many city streets and a multi-tude of city parks, schools, commercial land-scapes, and especially front and backyards ofhomes, worldwide, have been landscaped withplants that will over-produce very largeamounts of highly allergenic pollen each yearand they will trigger allergic reactions. Overtime, the allergies to these allergenic local plants will get worse, not better unless changes aremade in the local environment unless the mostallergenic plants are replaced with allergy-freeplant choices.

Immunotherapy is often very effective, but itis typically quite expensive and many insurancepolicies do not cover the expenses then too, overtime, the effects of the allergy shots tend to wearoff, and they need to be repeated. Nonetheless,if one can afford these shots, I do recommendthem. Local honey does much the same thing,

but it costs much less, and also has other healthbenefits from the raw honey itself.

Antihistamines, drugs: When an allergicresponse is triggered, the bodys immune sys-tem goes into overdrive, attacking the pollen asthough it were a more dangerous substancethan it actually is. The physical result of all thisover-action on the part of the immune systemresults in itching, runny and sneezy noses, andof course, more mucus production. The allergydrugs put a damper on the immune system andthus reduce these symptoms caused by thishyper-activity.

But, at what cost? It has been long known, and well documented, that allergies are protectiveagainst cancer. Yes, having allergies protectsagainst cancer, as does having asthma. Whywould this be?

At any given time any one of us may have can-cer of some form or another somewhere in our

bodies, but most of the time our own immune

system will attack the cancer and kill it off longbefore it ever gets out of control. When someonewith allergies comes in contact with allergenic

pollen and their immune system is kicked intogear, the immune system is not just fighting theallergens, it is also attacking any cancer cellsthey may have, realized or not. Thus, an occa-sional over-active immune system is actually ablessing, even if it may not feel like it at the time.

Now, consider the allergy drugs, and the effectthey have: these drugs are designed to shutdown this same protective immune system. I would advise anyone fighting cancer of anykind, to avoid taking any kind of allergy medi-cine. Furthermore, I would advise any one tak-ing allergy medicine on a regular basis, to tryand find a way to stop their dependence onthese drugs. From my research I am increasing-ly led to believe that antihistamines can openthe body up more to attack from cancer cells.

So, what is a person with severe pollen aller-gies to do? For starters, if you are taking Allegra,Claritin or similar drugs on a daily basis duringpollen season, I would advise that you skip sev-

eral days each week to let your immune systemdo its work. I would also advise that, if possible,you see an allergist and get the allergy shots.

I would strongly advise going to the closestfarmers market and buying some local rawhoney, and then to use it daily, in smallamounts. ** Please note, that those individualswith the most severe allergies can get an allergicresponse (including anaphylaxis) from the localhoney itself. Because of this I advise people tostart out with very small amounts of the localhoney perhaps as little as a quarter of a tea-spoon a day or less. If this triggers an allergicresponse, such as itching in the back of thethroat, then you will need to take an even small-er initial dose. Over time the amount of localhoney taken daily can, and should be, increasedbut it makes sense to be cautious in the begin-ning, and to carefully monitor your ownprogress.

Lastly, and perhaps this should be first, andnot last, you should allergy-free your own yards, and tryand get your neighbors to dothe same. Likewise, peopleshould demand that their owncities pay attention to the aller-gy potential of the street treesthey plant. It makes no sense atall for a city to plant trees thatwill cause allergies (often maleclones) when they couldinstead plant trees that areevery bit as beautiful, but thatdo not produce allergenicpollen.

As always, another caution isin order: local honey shouldnot be given to babies underthe age of one.

Michigan 45th nation-

wide for flu vaccina-tion coverage of chil-

dren 4 and under

No matter how healthy someone may be,

everyone has a chance of getting a severe case

of the flu, young children and adults alike.

Last year, 20,000 children with the flu were

hospitalized; 115 children in the U.S. died

from influenza-associated illness, including

six from Michigan.

Its tragic that so many children died from

a virus that has a safe and effective vaccine,

said Joshua Meyerson, MD, Medical Director

for the Health Department of Northwest

Michigan. Many of these deaths could have

been prevented through vaccination. We say,

Everyone. Every year because everyone age

six months old and up should get an annual

seasonal flu vaccine.

Infants younger than 6 months are too

young to be vaccinated. Meyerson says to

protect them from the dangers of influenza

by making sure parents, siblings, grandpar-

ents, babysitters, and anyone in close contact

with infants are fully vaccinated. Its also

important for pregnant women to get vacci-

nated against the flu, as the vaccine protects

both the mother and unborn baby.

The good news is that there are a number of

places where childrenand adults--can getthe flu vaccine. The Health Department of

Northwest Michigan is launching a series of

Community Immunization Clinics next week,

in partnership with several school districts.

In addition to seasonal flu shots and nasal flu

mist, many other immunizations will be

available. To schedule an appointment at any

of the Community Immunization Clinics

scheduled in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, or

Otsego counties, call the Health Department

of Northwest Michigan at 800-432-4121 dur-

ing regular business hours.

The charge for flu vaccine at Health

Department clinics is $25; charges for addi-

tional vaccines vary. We can bill Medicare,

Medicaid, and several private health insur-

ance companies for immunizations, said PatFralick, the Health Departments Director of

Family & Community Health. Fralick said the

Health Department does not turn away any-

one age 18 or younger for inability to pay for

immunizations required for school. She

noted anyone under age 18 must have their

parent or guardian accompany them for

immunizations.

Fralick highly recommends making

appointments at the Community

Immunization Clinics. We do quite a lot of

preparation to make sure people can get in

and out as quickly as possible, she said.

When we know how many are coming, we

can bring plenty of vaccine and have ade-

quate nursing staff. We can also identify any

other vaccines individuals may need by

checking Michigan Care ImprovementRegistry in advance and give them at that

same ap pointment.

"Not only is it important

for our patients to get vacci-

nated, but it's also critical

that physicians and other

health care providers get vac-

cinated," said Meyerson.

"Annual immunization of

health care professionals

protects employees, their

families, and their patients,

and it may reduce influenza-related deaths

among persons at high risk for complications

from influenza."Getting a flu vaccine is easy, and it is the

first and most important step you can take in

protecting yourself and your loved ones from

getting the flu, said Meyerson. While flu

seasons are unpredictable, flu vaccination is

the single best way to protect against influen-

za, especially for those under 5 years of age.

The Health Department of Northwest

Michigan is mandated by the Michigan

Public Health Code to promote wellness, pre-

vent disease, provide quality healthcare,

address health problems of vulnerable popu-

lations, and protect the environment for the

residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,

Emmet, and Otsego counties.

For more information about flu vaccine,

visit www.cdc.gov/flu. To schedule an

appointment at a Community ImmunizationClinic, call the Health Department at 800-
