25.01.2022 Monthly Prize Drum Roll

23.01.2022 Suns out, bums out! With warmer weather in Sydney were seeing people head outdoors and also seeing more injuries! Grazes, cuts, scabs the lot! Heres how to: 1) prevent fugly scars in the 1st place, and 2) minimize scars that recently formed ... Topics covered -types of scars: keloid, hypertrophic, pitted.. -stages of wound healing -debunk pop items that DONT work -reveal products for pre-scar and post-scar treatment Background information I heavily emphasise pre-scar treatments as it makes a for a speedier recovery. Lots of my customers still think letting a scab form after an injury is a good thing-Its not. The dead skin takes longer to slough off. Rather we opt for a warm, moist environment using hydrogel technology to allow the new skin cells to multiply and migrate to the repair site faster. Combine this runny hydrogel within a pre-formed sheet is even better as it forms a better seal. Scar Treatment Once the wound is fully healed and no longer bleeding and no signs of infection (pus) then we proceed with the silicone technology to modulate the scars. Scars can be raised, misshapen, discoloured red, and itchy. Silicone can improve all this but the form it comes in is critical. Most of my customers ask for silicone gel but I tell them silicone (pre-fabricated) sheets are far superior for similar reasons to the above: better seal and pressure over the wound. Like diamonds , only the best results are produced under pressure! Wear the sheet on 24/7, 365 (x2). Scars take up to two years to go away and we can jump on this window to maximize cosmetic improvements. Conditions If youre unsure if this product is for you, speak to your friendly neighborhood pharmacist or GP. Scars from acne require a different treatment. Any general questions hit me up below Specific medical questions I might answer but typically better reserved for your GPs eyes https://youtu.be/RDU4lJo-aZQ

21.01.2022 Embarrassing but it happens! If youre a women over the age of 16 years, youre likely to get thrush at least once in your lifetime. Men youre not off the hook either it can happen on the tip of your penis Now to be clear, thrush is NOT a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and is more a result of a compromised immune system. Whats that mean? Well when your not good on the inside, you can start having problems on the outside. E.g. youre dehydrated, youve been sun tanning ...for hours, youre physically overworked at the gym or on some project, youre underslept, youre running on more than 3 cups of caffeine-containing drink. IMO these are 50% of the time the cause for the thrush. The other 50% cause is being on antibiotics in the last few days. See antibiotics kill not only the bad bacteria (e.g. causing that skin boil), but also the good bacteria. Yet the good bacteria help maintain a balance of acidity in the vagina. Without good bacteria, yeast aka thrush take advantage and explode in numbers causing serious itching, a white-cheesy discharge. Gosh you think! You were just doing the right thing by going to the doctor for antibiotics but end up with thrush! Yep, happens all the time. Thats why I always feel remiss if I dont tell my female patients to consider getting a probiotic (good organisms) with their script. A favourite of mine is Saccharomyces boulardii. Theres many brands of it around, ask your local pharmacist for one-it drastically reduces getting thrush (as well as side effects from the antibiotics like diarrhoea). Fun fact: "SB is a tropical species of yeast first isolated from lychee and mangosteen fruit in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard." - Wikipedia So to loop back to my earlier point about your immunity, taking good care of your fundamentals will mean youre also less likely to get thrush. Stay hydrated on hot days, go gym or stay active couple times a week, eat your veges - they have fibre which nourishes your good bacteria and acts like a detox sponge for your insides, and if you drink coffee/tea drink double the number of cups in water to balance out their diuretic effects.

20.01.2022 Working on the treadmill desk drafting a petition. A petition for what you ask? For affordable medicine at all hours for all Australians. Currently old pharmacy laws are preventing your friends and family especially the vulnerable like elderly and diabetic from affording medicine at our shop. We want to change that by petitioning the Health Minister, yep, The Hon. Greg Hunt, the one on YouTube talking about lockdowns. ... When prices don’t suit your budget, you end up paying with your health. This isn’t fair. There ought to be affordable healthcare at all hours of the day. We get it, its tough enough being sick let alone having to pay full fare. Don’t leave us high and dry, when our petition is ready, help us help you, sign and say YES to cheaper prices.

20.01.2022 POLL: Should we open TILL 1am OR 2am? Bit of context: I've been asking by Lakemba and Ashfield Medical Centre if I can extend my opening hours. For me I've always been cognizant of my sleep and health so thats also weighing on my mind. Useful feedback welcome!

19.01.2022 Daily Dose Ep39: Queens Birthday Pains Experiencing a sore throat this long weekend? A common complaint thats probably NOT due to any colds but perhaps....how do I put this kindly....dietary indiscretions ;)... From BBQd, spicy, oily, caffeine-laden foods and drinks...we can often get heart-burn. No nothing to do with the heart. But it does feel that way. Actually due to stomach acid regurgitating back up the food pipe to your throat, sometimes even out the mouth! Easy fix is to stay off the trigger foods for a few days while you take some antacids. Your friendly, neighborhood pharmacist should have these. Heck even Coles/Woolies too these days-make us work for our money. Hence these videos! ;) xoxo Vien #longweekend #queensbirthday #food

15.01.2022 NSW Health is aware of door-to-door scammers pretending to be NSW Health employees asking to administer health checks. NSW Health is not conducting health check...s door to door and advises the community to stay alert. Here are some simple steps from NSW Police Force to protect yourself against door-to-door scammers: If someone wants to use your telephone for an emergency, dont feel rude not to let them in. Offer to make the call for them if they are genuine, they wont mind. Be suspicious of people requesting entry to your home to check appliances or equipment. Ask to see their identity card and take time to look at it carefully before letting them in. If you are still unsure, ring their company to check. If in doubt, keep them out. And remember: DONT be pressured into signing or paying up front. ALWAYS research a company or service provider prior to paying or agreeing to a contract. ALWAYS read any contract or service paperwork carefully prior to paying for any work. NEVER give your personal or bank account details to people you dont know and trust. ALWAYS call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency. If you do encounter a door-to-door scammer, report online at www.crimestoppers.com.au or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 (24/7)

14.01.2022 Food Allergies got me nose running like a tap! Call a plumber! If youre in lockdown and cant wait to hit the restaurants again...STOP! Watch this video and it WILL revolutionise your health Bold claim. Whats up? If you suffer from skin allergies or nose allergies listen in... (If you have full blown anaphylaxis this is a seperate video not for you) Im speaking of: brain fog after eating Chinese takeaway the itchy skin top to bottom post pork roll the sniffle post gelato Basically some food groups are just plain CRAP for our human bodies like MSG, processed foods, preservatives blah blah But other foods are what we consider REAL food yet still cause us problems. WHY? Its probably cos were sensitive, our genes are born that way, your father and mother had the same issues so you do too. Unfortunately we can completely change them but we can learn to work around them to stop throwing a spanner in the works Im for instance diary sensitive. I avoid gelatos. I know what youre thinking! Knowing just this one distinction between REAL food and FAKE food will go a long way But heres one more gem: Any time you feel CRAP, I want you to try a mental exercise: go back to what you had for dinner, then lunch and finally breakfast that day. Was there anything in that meal thats a possible culprit? Too much creamy sauce in mammas pasta bake? (Dairy and carbs) On your lunch break did you squirt too much soy sauce over your California roll? (MSG and Mayo aka diary) At breakfast did you opt for the Gloria Jeans ice latte with cream on cream on cream on top? (Dairy and sugar and caffeine) This is the EXACT same questions I ask of my customers day in and day out at the shop when they come in for help for gastro, heartburn aka indigestion, constipation, you get the picture! #ibs #guthealth #youaregwhatyoueat

10.01.2022 On the run? Tune in via podcast on the latest episode about allergies =) The Four-Day-Rule-Of-Thumb: this is a diagnostic tool I used to help uncover the root cause of peoples hives (a form of allergy). Often times a customer will come in with a skin rash all over their body and ask for an antihistamine. Of course I give them what they want but when I notice theyre not in a hurry Ill ask to give them my 2cents.... Recognising that hives is a whole body reaction oftentimes to stress-overwhelm, and NOT to the last meal they had, Ill usually proceed with a four day survey of what they have been up to: any recent illness? recent overseas travel? (unlikely during COVID-19), recent diarrhoea? recent sports carnival or school camp? recent excursion? What Im looking for a signals of stress in all its forms... Happy Listening

10.01.2022 When you gotta improvise..

09.01.2022 Lots of parents been asking round for Panadol suppositories... Unfortunately they wont be back till November. Last I heard theyre undergoing a package update (that was Feb 2020) I like to recommend parents go old school with the wet towel on forehead if your child is feverish AND irritable. If just feverish but settled, no need for anti-fever drugs like Nurofen or Panadol! Yup no need. ... Unless of course the fever has been for more than 2 days, with no obvious cause, or if child has immune conditions, or is an infant under 3months old. In these cases see doc. Heres the official word on various drug shortages: https://apps.tga.gov.au/Prod/msi/Search/Details/paracetamol

02.01.2022 Daily Dose Ep42. How To Treat Allergies and Get to the Root Of The Problem The Four-Day-Rule-Of-Thumb: this is a diagnostic tool I used to help uncover the root cause of peoples hives (a form of allergy). Often times a customer will come in with a skin rash all over their body and ask for an antihistamine. Of course I give them what they want but when I notice theyre not in a hurry Ill ask to give them my 2cents. ... Recognising that hives is a whole body reaction oftentimes to stress-overwhelm, and NOT to the last meal they had, Ill usually proceed with a four day survey of what they have been up to: any recent illness? recent overseas travel? (unlikely during COVID-19), recent diarrhoea? recent sports carnival or school camp? recent excursion? What Im looking for a signals of stress in all its forms: -stressed immune system (illness) -poor sleep (jet lag) -dehyration (diarrhoea, excess caffeine, not enough water) -physical exhaution (sports, gym, outings in the sun Note I might query what their dietary choices are like, but often I find this a little intrusive and people get self-conscious so I might even skip it and glean from the aforementioned questions how their immunity status is looking. What Ill often see is a pattern of of compounding stresses, day after day, and so by the fourth or fifth day, its just too much, the immunity is at critical threshold, any further stress will set off the whole body into hives. Any guess for what that last thing is? Yep, its usually their last meal. Hang on you say, "How come you said earlier that the meal isnt the culprit and now I say it is?" Let me explain: the meal is the final straw that broke the camels back. On its own any other time of the month its not a trigger. But with multiple stresses e.g. A (jet lag) + B (dehyration) + C (exhaustion) + D (last meal) = hives! So stepping back, simply understand that the body can only take so much in a four day period before itll stress out. Often times I see hives on a Sunday or Monday because of the weekends activities. I hope that helps! If you have any general questions, leave em below. Leave specific questions to your doctor =) Share this with another parent that you think will benefit from this =) xoxo Smiling Pharmacist #allergies #hives #stress #children #jetlag #sleep https://youtu.be/bpThq4oSqAI
