Regardless of the name, cosmeceutical or otherwise—a skin-care product is only as good as what it contains and how those ingredients can help your skin function better, or in the vernacular, to act younger. In fact, moisturizers (or any skin-care product claiming to have an effect on wrinkles or sagging skin) should absolutely contain an elegant mix of antioxidants such as pomegranate seed oil [ Omega 5], cell-communicating ingredients, and intercellular substances as they help skin keep a normal level of hydration, build collagen, reduce skin discolorations, and prevent cellular damage.

With the high incidence of breast cancer in Marin County and in honor of national Breast Cancer Awareness Month we’ve compiled a list of statistics and facts from the Northern California Cancer Center, the American Cancer Society and the Department of Health and Human Services in Marin to shine a spotlight on and clear up myths about the disease. —S.F.



What is the chance you will be diagnosed with breast cancer?

According to the National Cancer Institute, about 1 in 8 women (13.2 percent) will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. By age at diagnosis, this averages to:

From age 30 through age 39: 1 in 229


From age 40 through age 49: 1 in 68


From age 50 through age 59: 1 in 37


From age 60 through age 69: 1 in 26




The Facts About Breast Cancer in Marin County

Why are there higher rates of breast cancer in Marin than in other parts of the United States? For a five year period up to 2003, breast cancer rates in Marin were 17 percent higher than the rest of the nation, according to Rochelle Ereman, director of community epidemiology at the county health department. Why Marin? Although there are a number of possibilities, Ereman points out that there are more women in Marin with known risk factors for breast cancer such as using certain types of hormone therapy, daily alcohol consumption and childbearing patterns (having fewer children later in life). This would cause Marin’s rates to be higher than other areas, because it would put more women at an increased risk for breast cancer. Ereman says these factors account for much of the rate difference seen in Marin but there is still uncertainty if they account for the entire excess rate.

But there is good news! According to the Department of Health and Human Services, updated estimates show that mortality rates in Marin and California have declined in the past decade, meaning fewer women are dying of breast cancer.

“In 2002 there was a lot of media attention surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the link to breast cancer. With fewer women using HRT, we’ve started to see breast cancer rates coming down substantially,” says Tina Clarke, Northern California Cancer Center research scientist and Stanford University consulting assistant professor.

How many women in Marin are diagnosed? According to the most recent data from the Northern California Cancer Center, for the period between 2000 and 2004,1,248 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, meaning the tumor had started to invade the surrounding tissue. 261 women were diagnosed with noninvasive breast cancer, meaning tumor cells were detected but had not spread.

Think about the clip below in the context of Omega 5 oil:


Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years. According to a majority of medical research in the United States, as well as other countries. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects an estimated 8% to 10% of school-age children. Boys are about three times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with it, though it's not yet understood why. Children with ADHD act without thinking, are hyperactive, and have trouble focusing. ADHD is currently considered to be a persistent and chronic condition for which no medical cure is available. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in children and, over the past decade, has been increasingly diagnosed in adults. About 60% of children diagnosed with ADHD retain the disorder as adults. ADHD has also been classified as a behavioral disorder and a neurological disorder or combinations of these classifications such as neurobehavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders.

ADHD is common, affecting 4% to 12% of school-age children. It's more common in boys than in girls. ADHD is a medical condition that affects how well someone can sit still, focus, and pay attention. People with ADHD have differences in the parts of their brains that control attention and activity. These symptoms appear early in a child's life. Symptoms of ADHD will appear over the course of many months, often with the symptoms of impulsiveness and hyperactivity preceding those of inattention. ADHD is a developmental disorder that is often said to be neurological in nature. ADHD has also been classified as a behavioral disorder and a neurological disorder or combinations of these classifications such as neurobehavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders. These compounded terms are now more frequently used in the field to describe the disorder. Effective treatments for ADHD are available. ADHD is treated most effectively, and cost efficiently, with medication. Psychotherapy is another option, with or without medication.

Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and magnesium mayhave benefits with regards to ADHD symptoms. Use tools that help you stay organized. Get plenty of exercise. Try this breathing exercise for starters. These medicines improve attention and concentration, and decrease impulsive and overactive behaviors. About 80 percent of children who need medication for ADHD still need it as teenagers. Over 50 percent need medication as adults. Some of the medicines for ADHD are methylphenidate , dextroamphetamine , pemoline , atomoxetine , and a combination drug called Adderall. Behavioral therapy (BT) helps people develop more effective ways to work on immediate issues. Social skills training can also help children learn new behaviors. Support groups help parents connect with other people who have similar problems and concerns with their ADHD children. Family counseling helps treat ADHD because it keeps parents informed and also shows them ways they can work with their kids to help.
