YOUR SKIN CRITTER CORNER WEIGHT WELLNESS PAIN MANAGEMENT HORMONE REPLACEMENT WHAT’S NEW IN THE LAB SUPPLEMENT OF THE MONTH Preckshot Privilege PRECKSHOT PRIVILEGE A Personal Message from Wade and Jennifer Siefert “It is no small thing to know that upon your knowledge and skill a life may someday depend.” Those words are displayed in the lobby of Fitch Hall, Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Back in 1981 as a freshman pledge to Lambda Kappa Sigma and Kappa Psi, we were required to memorize that phrase. Never did we realize, all those years ago, that we would remember it so clearly in 2011. Even more amazing, that the words would hold such relevance to the type of pharmacy we practice today. Each of us at Preckshot are keenly aware each and every day that the prescriptions we prepare and the recommendations we make to patients and physicians carry important impact for health outcomes. In all cases, lives depend on the accuracy of what we do. This is precisely why we take the measures we do to ensure Preckshot quality with each and every order we fill. We will never cut corners or source inferior pharmaceutical ingredients, just as we will never compromise knowledge, training, and experience in our staff. As Preckshot Professional Pharmacy celebrates its 30th year of business in Peoria, it is with sincere gratitude that we say “Thank You” to prescribers and patients statewide and beyond for the confidence and trust you continue to place in our pharmacy. We are truly blessed to be able to carry out the mission we are entrusted with, while enjoying the success and affiliation we share with all of you. The future of Compounding and Preckshot have never looked brighter. Here’s to the next 30 years together! Wade and Jen And The Preckshot Professional Pharmacy Family Preckshot on Preckshot PRECKSHOT TRUST The First Ingredient in Any Formulation Pharmacists have been America’s most trusted professionals for many years. It is that trust which Preckshot Professional Pharmacy has taken to the highest level, and as a result, contributed greatly to the long term success of our Pharmacy for three decades. Patients and Physicians alike have learned from consistent and long term collaborations together, that they can trust the experience, innovation, and quality that goes into every Preckshot Prescription, compounded at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy. That same trust also continues to inspire the talented and caring Staff at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy, to extend genuine care, and to create unparalleled quality in the new and exciting Preckshot Products and Services introduced to Central Illinois and around the state. We are very excited about our future as we begin our 30th year in business. With both anticipation and absolute commitment, we pledge to continue to earn your trust and confidence with every Preckshot Prescription that we compound for you and your family each and every day. That’s the ‘first ingredient in the Preckshot formula’ for long range success as we look to the next 30 years of service for you. John Preckshot Preckshot Professional Pharmacy “We are excited to have Wade Siefert as a board member during such a significant year as our 20th Anniversary,” said David Miller, RPh, IACP executive vice president and CEO.

Part of the reason that cold winter weather is so damaging to skin is the lack of humidity. Skin needs moisture in order to stay healthy and supple and free of fine line wrinkles. Believe it or not, healthy skin needs sunscreen, even in the cold winter months. Preckshot Professional Pharmacy continually brings new innovative and exciting lines of cosmeceuticals to central Illinois. As the term suggests, these are stateof-the-art active ingredients with studies to validate their efficacy, and a longstanding track record of quality among medical professionals. The custom formulations created at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy are unlike any you will find by cosmetic companies or department stores, or even the well-recognized dermatologic companies. Active ingredients such as exfoliants, peptides, antioxidants, sunscreens, lighteners, glycolic acid, vitamins A & E, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, eco-certified plant extracts, and collagen producers are the foundation of Preckshot’s formulations. There are many studies that demonstrate just how effective these agents are in rejuvenating damaged skin. One of the biggest advantages in consulting with Preckshot Professional Pharmacy about your skin is the opportunity for facial analysis by our trained skin experts. By appointment, we will examine your facial skin through the Preckshot BioView Facial Analyzer, which reveals the condition of your dermal cells. The result: a custom regime designed for you and your individual skin. Depend on Preckshot Professional Pharmacy to care for your skin, no matter what the season!

Fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines. Hormonal medications — such as oral contraceptives and synthetic hormone replacement therapy — also may worsen migraines. Foods. Common offenders include alcohol, especially beer and red wine; aged cheeses; chocolate; aspartame; monosodium glutamate — a key ingredient in some Asian foods, and processed foods. Skipping meals or fasting also can trigger migraines. Stress. Stress at work or home can instigate migraines. Sensory stimuli. Bright lights and sun glare can produce migraines, as can loud sounds. Unusual smells — including pleasant scents, such as perfume, and unpleasant odors, such as paint thinner and secondhand smoke, can also trigger migraines. Changes in wake-sleep pattern. Either missing sleep or getting too much sleep may serve as a trigger for migraine attacks in some individuals, as can jet lag. Changes in the environment. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine. Did you know nutritional strategies can help prevent migraines?

Let our experience work for you! Critter Corner PRECKSHOT PETS Critter Corner Here comes the New Year… New Resolutions… New Habits… which may not always be a welcomed change with pets. Some animals will be left at home with a caregiver or boarded while their owners travel on business at the outset of the year. Some households may have been converged upon by family and friends for extended periods during the holidays. Parties and various social gatherings may not be to the pet’s liking. Others will travel, taking their pets along. Any of the above can instill anxiety or even separation anxiety in our beloved household pets. Sometimes this anxiety manifests in: destructive chewing excessive barking or whining pacing , drooling, changes in appetite/feeding and/or inappropriate urination or defecation What to do? Working with your Veterinarian, it can be determined if your pet would benefit from a Preckshot Custom-compounded Medication to alleviate anxiety. The expert team at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy can formulate exactly what Fido or Fluffy might need. For example: An exclusive Preckshot tasty liquid or chewable treat, or perhaps a Preckshot transdermal gel that delivers the needed medication right through the skin. Don’t let the anxiety of the post holiday hustle and bustle or the changes that often are initiated with the new year get to your furry friends. Consult your Veterinarian and ask him or her about the professionals at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy for help.

Without proper sleep, both in quality and amount, vital systems of the body will not function properly. Sleep is “natural”, but that doesn’t mean it is easy for some people. Insomnia is not a drug deficiency. It is a symptom. Why? We’re all bombarded daily with things that interfere with sleep; drugs, anxiety/worry, stress, disagreeable foods, environment, temperature, and many others. Sleep problems affect so many people that it has become big business for the pharmaceutical industry. Remember, however, that insomnia is not a drug deficiency. It is a symptom. Correcting the cause of a sleep problem is far superior to masking it with a drug. Sleeping pills are like a band aid, merely covering up a problem rather than actually correcting the cause of the problem. No one has an Ambien® deficiency, or whatever brand one might be prescribed. Sleep problems rank as one of the highest reasons Americans seek a doctor’s help. Preckshot Professional Pharmacy offers numerous approaches to sleep problems. We have helped thousands of patients restore normal, healthy sleep – all without prescription sleeping medications. See us today for Preckshot Personalized recommendations for your individual needs. You can regain your natural ability to sleep well. Energy PRECKSHOT NingXiaRed® NingXia Red is a naturally delicious, nutrientinfused wolfberry drink.

These fish oils are ideal for people who are currently deficient in omega-3s or are looking for more omega-3s in fewer servings. Omega-3.6.9 Combinations: Nordic Naturals omega-3.6.9 combinations deliver the full spectrum of omega essential fatty acids by combining the omega-3s EPAand DHA from fish oil with the beneficial omega-6 GLA from borage or evening primrose oil. Research shows that GLA is most beneficial when taken in conjunction with EPA, and that they work together to promote the production of PGE1 and PGE3 while limiting PGE2. Synergistic Fish Oil Blends: Nordic Naturals synergistic fish oil blends combine concentrated fish oil with select nutrients to provide targeted and research-proven support for particular conditions. The ingredients are formulated to work in synergy, which means that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. EPA-DHA 720: Provides 720 mg of omega-3 essential fatty acids from cold water fish per softgel—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)— to help deliver greater support in fewer softgels. DHA LemonGels: Is a convenient source of health-promoting, antioxidant stabilized, omega-3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA) from purity-tested fish oil. DHA LemonGels is manufactured through a proprietary system that removes contaminants and impurities, resulting in a safer, better-tasting oil. Provided in triglyceride form for absorption and bioavailability. EPA-DHA Liquid: Is an ideal source of health-promoting, antioxidant-stabilized, omega-3 essential fatty acids from purity-tested fish oil. EPA-DHA Liquid is manufactured through a proprietary system that removes contaminants and impurities, resulting in a safer, better-tasting oil. Provided in triglyceride form to aid absorption and bioavailabilty. Pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a new highly purified fish oil is that is more concentrated, free of dangerous toxins, and has been clinically tested. Because of it’s higher potency and purity results are achieved that are not possible with cod liver oil or typical health food fish oils. Compared to lower grade oils pharmaceutical fish oil is 2-3 times as potent and 100’s of times more pure. Unlike lower grade fish oils pharmaceutical fish oil tastes relatively good and rarely causes any gastric upset even with high doses. In addition it contains 2-3 times the omega-3 fatty acids so it is possible to consume a much higher dose and get better results. Typical health food fish oil and cod liver oil often contain toxins and rancid lipids. That is why the lower grade oils taste like dead fish and cause many people to feel nauseated or develop an upset stomach after taking to much. They are reacting to the contaminants in the oil. Supplement of the Month Omega Swirl: Smoothie Taste & Texture: Omega Swirl is an Omega-3 Sensation with the taste and texture of a fruit smoothie! Now everyone can enjoy the benefits of Omega-3 without the oily taste and texture or swallowing large capsules. Rich in vital and essential Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega Swirl flax and fish oil supplements are the freshest, best tasting and most nutritious, naturally. Omega Swirl is the perfect solution for the whole family! Packed with essential Omega-3s, Omega Swirl was created to nutritionally support: Heart Health Healthy Cholesterol Levels Joint Mobility & Bone Density Energy & Endurance Skin, Hair & Nail Health Mental Health, Wellness and Acuity Healthy Blood Glucose Sexual & Hormonal Health Fish Oil For KIDS Omega-3 Fish Oils: Nordic Naturals non-concentrated fish oil formulas contain a natural, unaltered ratio of EPA and DHA.

Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plant sources via steam distillation, and are highly concentrated and far more potent than dry herbs. While essential oils often have a pleasant aroma, their chemical makeup is complex and their benefits vast—which makes them much more than something that simply smells good. Essential oils are used for massage, therapy, aromatherapy, emotional health, personal care, nutritional supplements, household solutions, and much more. Young Living Essential Oils, the leading provider of essential oils, offers more than 300 essential oil singles and blends. All Young Living essential oils meet the YLTG standard. This means that every essential oil Young Living distills or sources has the optimal naturally-occurring blend of constituents to maximize the desired effect. Essential Oil of the Month PRECKSHOT ESSENTIAL OIL OF THE MONTH Thieves Preckshot Preferred Product Story Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical tale of four thieves in France who protected themselves from the black plague with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of the killer disease. Today, these same herbs and essential oils have been found to be an effective barrier against topical and airborne microorganisms. Young Living’s proprietary Thieves oil blend includes clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same kind of defense as it did in the fifteenth century. Thieves has been university tested and found to be highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health. Preckshot Primary Benefits The Thieves product line offers an array of natural household products that you can feel confident about using in your home. Because of the natural purifying ability of the essential oils contained in the Thieves blend, these products are effective without using harsh or synthetic chemicals like many other products on the market. What Makes These Preckshot Preferred Products Unique? Every product in the Thieves line has been infused with pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. Great care has been taken to ensure that each essential oil contained in Young Living’s products meets the highest standard for purity and potency. Thieves essential oil blend has been university tested for its effects against unwanted microorganisms. Thieves Foaming Hand Soap contains aloe and vitamin E, both renowned for their skin nourishing benefits. Thieves Dentarome Ultra contains calcium carbonate, a natural whitener for teeth. Thieves Household cleaner is a concentrate so you can dilute it with water to maximize the amount of cleaner in each bottle. ask your doctor about Preckshot Tune in to The Preckshot Hour Saturdays at 9:00am on Heritage Square Peoria Heights (309) 679-2047 www.preckshotpharmacy.com What’s New In The Lab WHAT’S NEW IN THE PRECKSHOT LAB John’s Joint Jel Brand new to central Illinois, available ONLY at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy, John’s Joint Jel is a unique formulation of cetylated fatty acids.

Hormone Replacement PRECKSHOT HORMONE REPLACEMENT Dispelling the Myth...It’s Not Just For Women Researchers have shown that hormonal imbalances, besides causing bothersome symptoms, may be the root cause of many chronic health issues. Hormones should exist in harmony with each other. Hormone balance is not just for women! Although females are the group we typically hear about for hormone health, men also experience issues related to hormone imbalance. In females we refer to “menopause” but in males we call it “andropause.” Knowing your hormone levels through reliable saliva testing is an important initial step to discover if you are out of balance, and equally important to determine what steps are necessary to correct the problem. Preckshot Professional Pharmacy has been a pioneer in hormone testing and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for men and women in central Illinois for 30 years. Make an appointment to consult with THE EXPERTS about your hormone health needs. ask your doctor about Preckshot Tune in to The Preckshot Hour Saturdays at 9:00am on Heritage Square Peoria Heights (309) 679-2047 www.preckshotpharmacy.com Immune Strength PRECKSHOT IMMUNE STRENGTH Probiotics Maintaining a strong and balanced immune system has always been critical to the survival and success of mankind, but never more so than today. People generally recognize this importance during the winter, when acute illness seems to flourish. But it is an important concept all through the year. Faced with diverse challenges, what can we do to bolster our natural defenses and strengthen our cellular energy systems? Several supplements can be helpful to augment essential nutrients and partially offset unavoidable exposures by: Promoting Detoxification Pathways Supporting Digestion and Assimilation Controlling Inflammation Strengthening and Balancing Immunity Essential Flora: Critical to Life Some nutrients are foundational to health; none more so than probiotics. The importance of beneficial bacteria in the gut has finally reached the mainstream consciousness, but unfortunately, most of the products being mass marketed today (it seems they are everywhere now) lack the potency and/or coverage to have an appreciable impact. The GI tract holds the vast majority of our immune cells, and it is there that the ongoing battle for our health is won or lost. Therefore, every person who wants to maximize their health and minimize their risk for illness should be taking a broad spectrum (multiple strains), high potency (at least 25 billion live cells per serving) probiotic that contains all of the essential flora. Many products are available at Preckshot exclusively that will help build natural immunity, including: Quality Probiotics Echinacea Pure Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) Olive Leaf Complex Vitamin D3 – aggressive dosages Beta 1,3 Glucan capsules Xylitol/2-DDG Nasal Sprays Vira-Zinc Lozenges Shitake Mushroom Blends ImmuCore & Essential Defense Nat – Stim Colloidal Silver Alopecia PRECKSHOT ALOPECIA Loss or Thinning Hair Both men and women can suffer bothersome loss of hair or thinning hair. This can happen at any age, depending on the cause. Hormonal imbalances that occur with peri-menopause, menopause, or andropause contribute to hair loss, as do thyroid and adrenal abnormalities. Measuring these levels is a simple procedure, through a saliva test available at Preckshot Professional Pharmacy. If you suffer thinning hair or loss of hair, there are Preckshot Solutions that help. 1) Over-the-counter “Your Crown and Glory” shampoos and conditioners, formula-specific for men and women. These specialty products differ from others on the market, as they actually remove DHT and other congestants from hair follicles. They contain no toxic chemicals or artificial preservatives. 2) Preckshot Prescription hair-growth formulas, one for men and one for women. Daily application is required, with minimum of six months to obtain maximum results. These formulations contain hormonal and endocrine support supplements that are known to stimulate hair re-growth. 3) Preckshot Nutritional supplements can be vital to the strength and integrity of human hair. The professionals at Preckshot can counsel you about these options and help you decide the best course for your hair’s health.
