Help With Weight Loss and Diabetes
by Dr. Dazhi Chen, PhD, LAC
Recent reports dated
August 27th, 2007 show
two-thirds of American
adults are either overweight
or obese in this country and
obesity rates have grown
from 15% in 1978-1980 to 32% in 2003-04.
Not only does obesity increase the risk for
developing major diseases,
including type 2 diabetes,
heart disease and stroke,
but may lead to some forms
of cancer as well. Many
therapeutic weight loss programs
may work in the
short term, however, as
most Americans know, the
patient gains the weight
back almost immediately after he or she discontinues
the program — usually under
unhealthy conditions during treatment or
after the patient has stopped exercising.
Weight gain can be attributed to many
things, but metabolism is a key consideration
and should be looked at seriously.

Elder Mediation
By Rita Medaglio-Barrera, CDFA and Gloria Ciolli, MSW, CSW, ACSW, LMSW
Elder mediation recognizes
the voice of older
and disabled adults in
the decisions that
impact their quality of
life. Because most major
life changes involve the
whole family, decision-making rarely involves
just one issue. Mediation
provides an opportunity for
families to come together to
discuss these issues in an
open and supportive environment
that fosters creative
solutions that are best suited
for them.
As baby boomers age and

diminish, families will face many difficult
choices concerning how they handle transitions
during their elders’ declining years.
Families will have to be able to evaluate
resources and options and develop ever
changing strategies to support their elders.
This will require communication and problem
solving skills that will need to be increasingly
sophisticated. Elder mediation is a first step
for families to help them address their changing
needs. It gives them a forum to share
decision making, express emotional feelings
and begin the decision making process
before it becomes a crisis.
Parties may seek mediation to resolve the
following issues:
*Disputes among Adult Children about their
Parents
*Residence Decisions
*Care-giving Issues, including
caregiver role-reversal
disputes
*Financial Management
Disputes
*Estate Planning
*Inheritance Disputes
*Medical Treatment
Decisions
*Guardianship
*Post-Appointment Decisions (Guardianship)
*Ongoing Relationships

Good Advice
Do You Need To Avoid Probate?
By Marc Alhonte, Esq.
Probate is the judicial
process of approving a
will. All wills must be
approved by a Court,
regardless of the size of
the estate.
Some attorneys promote avoiding probate
for all estates, to
minimize costs. However,
probate does not represent
the only cost of settling
an estate. In all
estates, whether or not
probate is involved, assets
must be collected; debts
must be paid; tax returns
may be filed; estate taxes may be due;
and the beneficiaries must receive their
proper inheritance. An estate does not
avoid the need or the expense of doing
these things, by avoiding probate. The
Each estate must be
analyzed on a caseby-case
basis to
determine if avoiding
probate is a strategy
that makes sense.
advertisement
cost of avoiding probate may be more
than the cost of probate.
The way to avoid probate is to dispose
of your property outside your will;
through jointly owned assets, assets with
named beneficiaries (such as life insurance),
or placing assets in a living trust.
There are time when
avoiding probate can
serve an estate: to avoid a
probable will contest, or
where there is real estate
in multiple states. Each
estate must be analyzed
on a case-by-case basis to
determine if avoiding probate
is a strategy that makes sense.
