No SSA Tax! ©November - December 2007 Sedation Dentistry “works like a dream” Find out what your friends and neighbors already know — sedation dentistry is changing the way people go to the dentist. Many people avoid going to the dentist. Some are uncomfortable, anxious, or even afraid. Many don’t have time for multiple appointments. If this sounds like you, you need to know that you are not alone. There are millions of people, just like you, who are not getting the care they really need. But there is an answer — sedation dentistry. Sedation lets you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your whole appointment. And even though the procedure is actually a form of conscious sedation, when the visit is over, many people feel like they slept through the whole thing. Most patients have little or no memory of their appointment. And best of all — with sedation dentistry, you’ll probably need fewer appointments! Who is sedation for? Sedation is right for anyone who wants a comfortable and relaxing dental experience. It is especially useful if you: • have dental fears which make you delay or avoid dental treatment • have had a bad experience at the dentist in the past • can’t get comfortable at the dental office • can’t stand the sights, sounds or smells of a dental office • can’t sit still during a dental appointment • have problems getting numb, making treatment very painful • need a lot of work done and don’t have time for several appointments • have a bad gag reflex • have extremely sensitive teeth • hate needles and shots Services Performed by Illinois Licensed General Dentists 300 Memorial Drive Ste. 400 • Crystal Lake, IL 60014 Call to schedule a consultation or to get more information: 815.459.8127 the Suburban W Woman of the Northwest Suburbs ® William E.

By H. Edward Vallely, D.D.S. It Is Affordable! Who would have thought that a television reality show could have such an impact on its audience? Dentists across the country have literally been flooded with requests by their patients to makeover their smiles like they have seen on TV. The truth is dentists have had the ability to perform such makeovers for over twenty years! Porcelain veneers have been a standard part of most competent dental treatment for a generation. So why the sudden popularity? It can be summed up simply by two things: the media and the money. 4 Low minimum monthly payments The media did for dentists what dentists failed to do for themselves. We as a profession have done a very poor job at communication. Instantly, millions of people have seen the impact a beautiful smile can have on a person. It can truly be life changing! Dentists have known this all along, but except for a few cosmetic dentists, mostly on the West Coast, we have let the public's perception be that beautiful smiles have been reserved for Hollywood types or the rich.

Vax-D is Spinal Decompression Therapy (SDT) and is the only scientifically proven, non-surgical, medical procedure that creates a vacuum process pulling the disc back into position. This does two things; 1st it removes the pressure off the spinal nerve roots and the spinal cord (shown in white below) that is causing the pain. 2nd, it draws in oxygenated blood with the nutrients to nourish and heal the tissues.

When left untreated, varicose veins can become swollen and ulcerated and may require urgent medical care. • Varicose Veins (large ropey leg veins) • Reticular Veins (bluish surface veins) • Spider Veins (reddish surface veins) • Symptoms of Venous Insufficiency (including swelling, leg pain or leg ulcers) Until recently, the removal of varicose veins required the actual stripping of the vein – a surgical procedure that requires an overnight hospital stay, a painful recovery period – and possibly scarring from incisions and post-operative infections. Today there are new, safe and effective treatment options available for diseased veins. Modern procedures, like the FDA-cleared endovenous laser treatment (ELT) is a very quick, onetime, minimally invasive therapy, which causes little or no side effects and has shown to be highly effective in eliminating varicose veins. For spider veins, micro injection Sclerotherapy and surface laser treatments are highly successful. Veins that are cosmetically unacceptable or that cause pain or other symptoms are appropriate for treatment. What can you expect from your first visit? A diagnostic evaluation of your veins using ultrasound is performed in our office. Since all vein disorders cannot be treated by one method alone, the doctor will then examine you and discuss the most appropriate approach for successful results. We can then schedule a complete treatment program. Now is the optimal time to begin treatment Varicose Veins generally take more than one procedure to eliminate. Winter is the perfect time for this treatment as your legs are usually covered during the winter.

You may be an Allergy & Asthma Sufferer — Improve the Quality of Your Life! Too many people try to function normally but struggle when the cold weather hits. Bronchitis and sinusitis occur more often in individuals that have underlying allergies and asthma, yet relief is easily available. What is an allergy? An allergy is a response of the immune system in which allergic immunoglobulins, called IgE, are triggered by pollen, dust, mold and animal dander and cause the release of histamine and other allergic chemicals. This results in itching as well as inflammation. If the nose is affected you sneeze, itch, or get congested. Getting a good nights sleep may even be difficult. If the sinuses are targeted head pressure ensues, along with head pain. Allergic eyes appear red, tear, burn and itch. When skin is involved it can become itchy and a rash may develop. Symptoms: • • • • • • • • • • • • Coughing Wheezing Itching Sneezing Post nasal drip Headaches Congestion Rashes Snoring Loss of taste or smell Irritated eyes Food intolerance Why see us specifically? Dr. Noga Askenazi and Dr. Deborah Pockross, from Rush and Northwestern Medical Centers, are award-winning allergists who offer the most advanced treatment for children and adults. They provide outstanding personalized care in three locations around Northwest Illinois. For doctor biographies and further staff information go to www. MyAllergyDr.com “Our greatest satisfaction is giving our patients the tools that free them from limiting their lifestyles and help them improve their sense of well being as well as their health.” “Our staff is incredible in accommodating patient’s needs and creating a caring friendly environment” Front: Dr. Deborah Pockross, Dr. Noga Askenazi Back: Gwen Reddersdorf, Jessica Magana, Nicki Raimondi Allergy and Asthma sufferers: Many allergy sufferers prefer allergy shots to improve their immune system. We have one of the fastest allergy shot treatment programs available. Severe allergies include allergies to food, stinging insects and may trigger asthma. Food allergies can result in abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even anaphylaxis - a life threatening condition. Another life threatening reaction occurs to people allergic to the venoms of bees, wasps or hornets. If airways are triggered by environmental allergens then coughing and wheezing, or shortness of breath occurs, this is termed asthma. Asthma affects 23 million Americans and results in 4000 deaths annually. What can be done? See a board certified allergist, one trained in allergy, asthma and immunology, and get skin or patch tested for the potential triggers of your reactions. These methods are rapid and proven to find your specific allergens. Then, knowing where and when your allergens occur can help tremendously. Sometimes pure avoidance of allergic triggers eliminates symptoms, other times medications are needed. Allergy immunotherapy is a method of desensitizing an allergic individual to imp ro v e symptoms and to help their immune system become tolerant and less allergic. Testimonials:. “My children have been patients of Dr. Askenazi’s since they were very young.

SMART WAYS TO UNCOVER GLOWING SKIN by Tiffany Miles, Licensed Esthetician Your skin reflects your health and well-being. It is your largest organ and acts as a barrier for protecting the rest of you. Your skin is always repairing itself. The outer layers are consistently shedding and new layers are formed. When we are young this process functions effectively and visible signs of aging are not apparent. As we age our repair mechanisms slow down. We begin to notice wrinkles, sun spots, enlarged pores and the dreaded adult acne. Another complaint we often hear is “My skin looks dull and lifeless.” One of the best treatments we have developed to improve these conditions is the “Age Defying Facial.” Typically, this treatment involves four main steps and will uncover glowing skin. 1. MICRODERMABRASION is a non-invasive, exfoliating procedure that removes fine lines, age spots, acne scars and other facial imperfections. It is also beneficial for reducing pore size and removing blackheads. This treatment is performed using a light suction of fine crystals which gently passes across the skin’s surface, removing damaged cells. Removal of these cells increase production of collagen, elastin, epidermal cells and improves blood flow to the skin’s surface. Microdermabrasion will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. 2. ULTRASONIC THERAPY is used to improve blood flow and to deliver important antioxidants deep into the skin. It will rejuvenate and repair the skin with regular use. Ultrasonic therapy reduces fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. This treatment will greatly hydrate your skin especially during the dry winter months. 3. LED LIGHT THERAPY - This in a non-invasive procedure that activates new tissue growth and stimulates collagen production. First discovered by NASA Scientists to heal tissue, the LED uses frequencies of light that penetrate deep into the skin repairing cell damage and erasing the appearance of aging. FOR THE HOLIDAYS The Oxygenating Trio is a powerful antioxidant trio providing a nutritional vitamin and enzyme infusion into your skin. This helps to stimulate the skin’s metabolism to move toxins and destructive free radicals out of the tissues. This is an excellent choice for sluggish, tired or dull skin due to winter weather, environmental damage such as toxins, pollutants, allergens, sun, smoking, aging and improper diet. Acne skin conditions can also greatly benefit from this treatment. This treatment will effectively help slow down the appearance of the visible signs of aging, kill bacteria and leave the skin glowing, clear, bright and healthy looking! This is a perfect choice to do the day before a holiday party or special event. BEFORE AFTER SKIN CARE 4. VITAMIN TREATMENT - This step will be determined after the skin has been assessed. For dry or mature skin a hydrating treatment will be applied. For oily skin, a treatment to help reduce breakouts and oil production will be done. The above procedures are considered the ultimate in anti-aging. Because they are progressive as opposed to aggressive treatments, you will not have to worry about “downtime.” All of these treatments will reverse years of skin damage and will leave your skin healthy and beautiful! FACIAL REDNESS Answers to common questions What does Microdermabrasion feel like? This part of the treatment feels like a cat’s tongue. It has an abrasive feel, but does not hurt. Why do all these steps in one treatment? If this sounds like a lot for your skin to handle in one treatment, don’t worry. Even the most sensitive skin loves this treatment. It is one of our most popular and can be customized to any skin type. Will this treatment cause breakouts? This treatment is very effective at treating and preventing breakouts. How will my skin look right after the treatment? Your skin will look rejuvenated and healthy right after each treatment. Some of our clients come in on their lunch hour and go right back to work.

FDA cleared technology treats herniated and degenerative discs without surgery! THE CAUSE OF BACK & NECK PAIN The discs in your spine function as shock absorbers and also provide the opportunity for your back and neck to bend and twist. As a result, these discs undergo tremendous amounts of stress. This stress often becomes the cause for degeneration, bulging, and herniation of the discs. These changes can put pressure on nerves, create inflammation, and change the way your back and neck move - ultimately causing pain. TRADITIONAL CURES FOR BACK & NECK PAIN For many people, back pain is easily resolved with chiropractic care or other conservative treatment, but for some nothing helps. When this happens, doctors have few options: expensive drugs (which can have dangerous side effects with long-term use), epidural injections (which rarely provide long-term relief), or surgery (which has its risks). As a result, many people choose to live with the pain. A NEW TREATMENT FOR BACK & NECK PAIN At the Non Surgical Disc Treatment Center we treat patients with herniated or degenerative discs. We have also helped patients with spinal stenosis and facet syndromes, patients who have had epidural injections. We have even helped some patients who had pain after back surgery. IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN Our technology was designed by spine specialists. It’s been tested and it works. IT REALLY WORKS Our goal is to give our patients at least 50 percent pain relief within 14 days. And more often than not, we are successful. In fact, our patients typically find increased mobility, decreased pain, and improved sleeping patterns. Most patients become raving fans, telling their friends and family! Because of our success, we have had patients that travel to us for treatment from as far away as Wisconsin, Indiana and Bloomington, IL. IT IS SAFE Our protocols are non-invasive! No big needles or injections, no anesthesia, no heavy drugs! Many patients feel better immediately; others might feel short-term increased discomfort before improvement. Our program has few side effects; however, as with all treatments, this program may not be suitable for some patients. Dr. Trivedi, D.C. is one of the few doctors in the Chicagoland area successfully treating these serious conditions and symptoms without medication or surgery. You no longer have to suffer needlessly because there is an effective, painless and safe method to ending your discomfort.

Traditional Medicine Gave Up On Me, Told Me It Was All In My Head And Labeled Me A “Helpless Case and a Nut”… Against All Odds, With the Help4Fatigue Program, I Beat This Crippling Disease...And So Can YOU...The secret revealed in this story will shock and delight you! It’s an amazingly simple “6-step” fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue revelation that is easy to use, and could possibly wake you up from your fibromyalgia nightmare and end your suffering - FOREVER!!! Algonquin, IL – If you suffer with fibromyalgia, reading this, admittedly lengthy article, may be the most important thing you do for your family, your career and your life. So, if you have to squint or get a magnifying glass to read this tiny print, I strongly advise you do so. Before I begin, I would like to tell you about the story I recently heard regarding an amazing man. He had already died. His name is not the importance here. He once sent a letter that had something that looked like this on it: He went on to explain that each square represents one year of a person’s life. There were 76 squares because the average lifespan in America is 76 years. The squares without the “x” represented the years he had remaining to live…if…he lived the average lifespan of an American. What these squares all drawn out on a piece of paper did for him was give him a somewhat depressing visual depiction where he was on the timeline of his life. He also said – to make this a little less depressing – that the average person who makes it to 65 years old – usually continue living until they are 86. Usually. Here’s the point: Nobody really knows how long that they have to live. The truth is…life is short at best…and…it can end for any of us in a microsecond. So, I’ve got a question for you: How many More “X”s Are You Gonna Fill In The Boxes Of Your Life…Until… You Decide To Start Living Out Your Life Without Pain… Doing All The Things You Want And Love To Do, Without Feeling Exhausted And Miserable... Waking Up In The Morning, Springing Out Of Bed Feeling Refreshed And Not Having To Take All Those Expensive Medications That Haven’t Helped And GiveTerrible Side Effects. Only you know that answer. Only you know if you are going to take action right now to finally get everything you’ve always wanted in life…or…throw this magazine in the trash and continue doing and living your life that have given you the frustrating pain, sufferings and misery you have now. My question to YOU: “How Many More “X”s Are You Gonna Fill In The Boxes Of Your Life… Until You Decide To Start Living Out Your Dreams?” My name is Connie Rocque of Des Plaines, Illinois. I want to tell you my story to as many fibromyalgia sufferers as possible before it’s too late…the incredible feeling and freedom of knowing what is wrong and how your problems can be solved. I don’t ever want to see another person suffers like I did, when the answer may be so simple and right in front of you. I have had fibromyalgia for 15 years. I have tried almost everything you can imagine. This is the first time someone really the understood what I was going through and didn’t want to give me another pill instead of getting to the root of my problem. I am very happy and satisfied with the treatment I have had so far. I know that in time I will have even more improvement. It’s wonderful to have hope again, to have a new lease on life. I am getting my fibromyalgia under control instead of my fibromyalgia controlling me and my life. My life is more balanced than before. I am able to fit in exercise, better food, and still take care of things like I did before. I have better quality of time with my family. Before I couldn’t sit up and watch a movie, now I can watch the movie and enjoy it along with my family. There are many benefits that I have received through my treatment. The first would be that I am now sleeping for 6 hours a night compared to 2 or 3. The quality of sleep is also much better. I wake up more alert and refreshed. The second would be that I am more relaxed and my memory is improved. I am always active and busy, despite the pain, but I am able to get more done and then relax and let my body have time to heal itself after treatments. I know my story will be hard to believe. And it’ll be even tougher for you to believe that you can get the same results. But I hope you give yourself a chance. You see, unlike your friends, family, doctor or spouse… I understand EXACTLY what you are going through. I understand just how debilitating and frightening fibromyalgia can be. How it can put a strangle-hold on your life… squeezing your hopes and dreams right out of you like a giant anaconda. How do I know how YOU feel?

That's the question you should ask if you do not have an estate plan. Today, too many people just don't include the preparation of an estate plan on their priority list. This is peculiar since these same people, perhaps like you, diligently take great care to invest money wisely, maximize returns, and reduce tax liabilities. So, why then give it to strangers? If you don't have an estate plan, a chunk of your estate will go to probate costs and attorney fees. What's left could be tied up for months or years in probate court. During that time the IRS or other creditors may take a chunk. To pay debts, assets like your home may have to be sold quickly, below market value. In the end, Illinois law and some unknown probate judge will determine who gets what's left. If you have young children or children with special needs, that same unknown judge and not you, may decide what's in your children's best interest. You can avoid this, and achieve peace of mind by simply taking a little time to become informed.

Reflexology is a science based on the premise that there are zones and reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all glands, organs, parts and systems of the body.

By skillfully and systematically applying pressure to points on the feet, the reflexologist relieves stress and promotes relaxation.

The Social and Psychological Impact of Hair Loss Hair loss is a devastating experience that millions of people around the world have to deal with in their lifetimes. For some, it’s a fact of life, for other, it’s a cosmetic tragedy. In our society, a full head of hair is directly related to one’s vitality, image and success in life. And because it’s so important to make a good first impression, people hate losing their hair. In many cases, hair loss can be so devastating to the point where it impacts one’s actions and inactions socially and professionally in life. Expires 1/15/08 For women, hair loss is more devastating than it is for men. While it is socially acceptable for a man not to have a full head of hair, it is absolutely unacceptable for a woman to be bald or even have thinning hair. In our society, there are no role models for women with thinning hair. In many cases, hair loss affects a woman’s self-esteem and changes her life in a real negative way to the extent that causes an inability to work and socialize. the Suburban W Woman of the Northwest Suburbs ® Call for your FREE CONSULTATION: Deerfield 847-945-2000 Chicago 312-644-HAIR (4247) Oakbrook Terrace 630-678-5400 32 ©November - December 2007 Health & Fitness the Suburban W Woman of the Northwest Suburbs ® 33 ©November - December 2007 Surgical Looking Better Not Different, and Looking Natural Not Surgical, With Face and Neck Lifts by Gregory Michael Bazell, MD Diplomat of The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc.

The anatomic changes that will occur in your face and neck with time include: accumulation of excess sagging skin, descent of facial fat from the upper face to the lower face, loss of facial fat volume, formation of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, loss of lower jaw definition by jowling, and accumulation of excess skin and fat along with the formation of muscle bands in the neck. morning after surgery, and many women are camera ready within 14 days following their procedure.

Unfortunately, when we are young, looking good is a choice but, as we mature, looking good becomes a necessity. And when we look good, we feel good. A necessary part of looking good as we mature is an appropriately timed and well performed face and/ or neck lift. I believe that the right time for your face lift or neck lift has little to do with your actual chronologic age (i.e. how old you are) but rather your actual physiologic age (i.e. to what degree do the predictable signs of facial aging effect your appearance with respect to how you appear to yourself and how you appear to others).
