8 | March 30, 2017 | The orland park prairie Orland Park opprairie.com ADVERTISEMENT A clinically proven and patented breakthrough, now available in the U.S. without a prescription… New Pill Can Relieve the Need for Adult Diapers and Padded Underwear According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Night Time Bathroom Trips...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past! NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn’t hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of “not making it” in time can be absolutely overwhelming. Don’t even dare to laugh, cough or sneeze at the “wrong” time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water? You’re not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above. The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn’t Know “Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a longtime clinician who is one of the world’s leading experts in natural urological healthcare. “They don’t even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident.” “Black is the color of choice,” says Dr. Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of public accidents.” A 100% natural, drug-free aid developed by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called UriVarx featuring urox. Amazing Clinical Results Patients using UriVarx experience all these benefi ts: • Reduction in Urge Incontinence • Reduction in Stress Incontinence • Reduction in Urinary Urgency • Reduction in Urinary Frequency • Reduction in Nocturia (bedtime episodes) Patients started seeing results in as little as 2 weeks. This sophisticated patented herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to help improve UriVarx with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia (having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks. Since its introduction in Australia, more than 25,000 bottles have sold of this patented revolutionary formula. Dr. Seipel’s formula has made a believer out of 45-year-old, mother of three, Brandy W., from Brisbane, Australia. “I had a high bladder frequency as a child,” says Brandy, “but my frequency really worsened after the birth of my first child.” A friend who was aware of Brandy’s condition told her about Dr. Seipel’s formula. “After two weeks, I had already noticed changes,” smiles Brandy.** “I was finding that although I felt I needed to urinate, I wasn’t as desperate to run to the toilet. Now, when I get up in the morning,” she adds, “I’m able to make the coffee and even have a cup before needing to go, which is a great improvement!” Dr. Tracey Seipel: Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist & Diabetes Educator How Does It Work? “UriVarx helps support bladder health by revitalizing bladder tone and function, and by helping support kidney health,” says Dr. Seipel. “UriVarx promotes normal urinary frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturia and those embarrassing, away-from-home bladder accidents,” adds Dr. Seipel. “The compound invigorates the tone of the bladder wall, assisting a healthy level of firmness by enhancing the bladder’s muscular elasticity. This reduces the frequent urge to urinate,” explains Dr. Seipel. Positive Clinical Trial This natural, drug-free UriVarx formula has performed well in a clinical study. In one placebo-controlled, randomized trial, many participants saw results in as little as two weeks. But the best was yet to come. Two weeks later, those participants shocked study observers by reporting a significant improvement in their quality of life. Thirty days later 77% of participants were experiencing benefits. Results like these are not surprising to Dr. Seipel who single-handedly pioneered the bladder care category in the early 2000’s, receiving an award from the prestigious US Nutrition Business Journal for her work. Her patented formula consisting of select, synergistically paired botanicals like Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvense and Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in the making. Reduce the Need for Adult Diapers “Overactive bladder syndrome is a widespread problem,” says Dr. Seipel. Many of these individuals wear adult diapers. Insiders in the adult diaper industry are keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel’s bladder support breakthrough because of people like 78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. from Gold Coast, Australia. Glenda wore adult diapers every day to guard against accidents. “My bladder capacity was good but the leakage and accidents would occur without warning. So, I wore them every day,” confesses Glenda. Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s UriVarx formula, you won’t find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore. “After only 10 days on UriVarx , I reduced the need to wear my diapers. Now, I am managing very well, thank you,” says Glenda. According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012. Prostate or Bladder? Hard to Tell Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes. Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out.” As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience the same symptoms thanks to his now-overactive bladder. Finally a clinically proven pill solution to ease all your bladder problems. His-and-Her Results “Because male and female bladders, other than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “the formula works equally well for both men and women”. “It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles. David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night.” Four weeks after starting UriVarx , David says, “My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I’m having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night.” If you’re ready to alleviate your go-now urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here’s your risk-free opportunity.

opprairie.com News the orland park prairie | March 30, 2017 | 9 Papa Joe’s owner talks 2016 Business Volunteer of the Year honor Brittany Kapa, Assistant Editor Mike Lorenzo Sr. said he believes that when one works and lives in a community, he should give back. This notion has earned him, and his business Papa Joe’s, the 2016 Business Volunteer Award from the Village of Orland Park. The family recently was honored at the State of the Village event. “They’ve put a lot of money [back into the community], by providing their food and facility to benefit the different charities and organizations in town,” Mayor Dan McLaughlin said. “We thought they deserved to be recognized.” The Lorenzo family opened Papa Joe’s in 1992 and for the past 24 years has put in the effort to give back to those in the community that need it. Papa Joe’s is run by Lorenzo, 57, his sons Mike Jr. and Anthony, and his wife, Jan. The couple’s daughter, Amy, used to help with the restaurant but has since moved on to working as a nurse. Lorenzo recently moved out of Orland Park to Homer Glen, but that has not slowed his charitable givings. The family goes to All Saints Lutheran Church and provides assistance for church functions when called upon. But the family’s support goes beyond the church. “Once we know that it’s a really nice cause, we love to give back,” Lorenzo said. “Being family owned and operated, you’re always looking for ways to give back to the community, especially when we lived in the area.” Papa Joe’s has donated to the area high schools, including Sandburg, Andrew and Lockport Township, in addition to many other local charities and causes. “[Trustee] Mike Carroll nominated us, and I didn’t even know he did it,” Lorenzo said. “It was very exciting for us, and it’s nice to be honored by the village that you work in.” Lorenzo said he truly believes in giving back to those in the community and doing their part with local schools, churches and community members in need. Carroll said he noticed how much the family has put into helping the community, and he felt it was time the business gained some recognition for its generosity. “The main reason was pretty simple; I’ve been a member of the Orland Park Lions Club for about 20 years now, and [Papa Joe’s has] been actively involved with the Orland Days celebration we have every year,” Carroll said. Carroll said the Orland Days Special People Day event has had approximately 2,500 people in attendance in years past. The Lorenzo family has donated pizzas to the event for more than a decade, and Carroll said it is almost comical to watch the caravan of Papa Joe’s delivery drivers that deliver the pizzas throughout the day to the event. “Papa Joe’s has donated all of the pizza’s for all of those people every year for the last 12-15 years,” Carroll said. “Recently, it’s been about 350 pizza’s per event, and, having two teenage boys, I know how much pizzas are.” Lorenzo said he was humbled and honored when he found out about the nomination from Carroll. Carroll provided the voice over for the award video the Village put together, and even he was surprised by the sheer volume of organizations that the Lorenzo family has helped over the years. “I deal with organizations and businesses all day, every day, in Orland Park, and they rise to the top,” Carroll said. “It’s amazing what they do for the community.” Lorenzo said, “It was a great honor to win it. It was nice to have family and friends at the event. I’m normally a guy that likes to stay out of the spotlight, but this was fun to do.” Freelance Reporter Jon De- Paolis contributed to this story. Community comes together to help Rock Bottom’s assistant brewer Event to take place April 2 at Frankfort’s Emagine theater Jason Maholy Freelance Reporter Andrew Mikal’s life was going exceptionally well this past year. The 33-year-old Mokena resident had abandoned his job as a general manager in the retail industry to pursue his passion of making beer, and after earning certification in brewing technology he landed a job this past June as an assistant brewer at Rock Bottom in Orland Park. Four months later, Mikal and his wife Meggan became parents, with the birth of Andrew Jr. Between the bliss of being happily married and a firsttime father, as well as the rush of waking up every day to do a job he loves, the only thing that was not right in Mikal’s life was unrelenting back pain that painkillers, epidurals and physical therapy did nothing to resolve. Doctors had initially found a bulging disc in his back, but when the pain became excruciating and debilitating, Mikal underwent further medical testing in January. The diagnosis this time was far more grim. A malignant tumor in Mikal’s colon was so large it was presenting an 80-percent blockage of his large intestine, and the Stage 4 cancer had metastasized to his lungs, liver, spleen and spine. “Right off the bat, I’m in the hospital thinking, ‘How long am I going to live?’ That was the first thought in my mind,” he said. But after the initial shock and devastation, Mikal adopted a different mindset. His oncologist assured him the cancer was treatable and could be in remission by July. Mikal’s family, friends and co-workers rallied around the couple and their baby to organize fundraisers to help ease their financial burden. Rock Bottom donated to the Mikals $5,700 yielded by a company event in February at the brewery’s downtown Chicago location, and raised another $7,000 for the family at a fundraiser in March at the Orland Park restaurant. Another benefit for the Mikals — organized by family friend Alicia Kieffer — is to be held Sunday, April 2, at Emagine, 19965 S. La Grange Road in Frankfort. Tickets that include a viewing of the live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast,” popcorn and a drink are $25 each. The benefit also is to feature raffle drawings, a split-the-pot, silent auction and photographs with Belle. “It’s very humbling and emotional for myself and my family, and there’s no way you can say thanks,” Mikal said of the financial and emotional support he and his family have received. “Ten-thousand thank-yous wouldn’t cut it. I have good days and bad days, but the support has been overwhelming and makes it easier. It makes me stronger.” Mikal said his mentality since his diagnosis is that of a warrior, with the attitude of “let’s kill this thing.” He has long admired the Navy Seals, the elite special forces team, and has used them as a source of inspiration as he attempts to overcome his illness. “I’ve always been a fan of the Navy Seals — I mean, I’ll never be one — but I love their lifestyle, the way they train, and that’s how I looked at this process,” he said. Kieffer, of Frankfort, attended Lockport Township High School with Meggan, and met Andrew while all three of them were students at Northern Illinois University. She described the Mikals as “literally the nicest people” and insisted the tag was no hyperbole. “Even their ‘mad’ isn’t really mad; they’re annoyingly nice,” Kieffer said with a laugh, then described the reaction she and the Mikals’ other friends had after hearing of Andrew’s diagnosis. “Everyone just felt helpless. It was devastating.” Kieffer spearheaded the Emagine fundraiser by contacting the theater and several other Frankfort-area businesses, hoping they would be willing to provide items for raffle drawings. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with Tribes Alehouse, Jameson’s Pub, Mariano’s and Massage Envy all donating packages of gifts. Emagine, after hearing why Kieffer wished to purchase a party package, reduced the price of tickets and gave the group the party room for free. The Chicago Blackhawks provided an autographed jersey for the raffle drawing. “Everyone was just awesome,” Kieffer said. “We figured anything we could bring in would be above and beyond what we could donate personally, and that’s a good thing.” Mikal wants to give back when he is able. In addition to his plans to speak about the importance of colorectal cancer screenings, he wants to open his home to persons undergoing cancer treatment, and teach those people how to make beer, “to teach them a new skill and get their minds of the situation,” he said. He also hopes his battle will serve to help other cancer patients remain optimistic. At his most recent checkup, there was no cancer visible in his organs, and the tumor had been reduced in size by 50 percent. “It’s been a long journey, but I still have a long journey to go,” he said. “If I can beat this, I can be an inspiration to others.”
