(MUSIC) GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY AND WELCOME TO THE
BALANCING ACT.
WE ARE SO GLAD YOU JOINED US THIS MORNING.
I'M JULIE MORAN.
AND I'M OLGA VILLAVERDE.
TODAY WE'VE GOT SOLUTIONS FOR WOMEN WHO ARE ON THE GO AND SUFFER FROM OAB OR OVERACTIVE
BLADDER.
GREAT INFORMATION AS WE WRAP UP OUR THREE PART SERIES.
AND SPEAKING OF GOOD INFORMATION WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT PROSTATE HEALTH FOR YOUR FELLA.
PLUS, FINANCIAL ADVICE WE COULD ALL USE WHEN A LOVED ONE UNFORTUNATELY GETS SICK.
THE BALANCING ACT STARTS RIGHT NOW.
(MUSIC) THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF GETTING SICK
WITH SERIOUS ILLNESS ARE SO OFTEN GUT WRENCHING AND THE LAST THING ANYONE INCLUDING IMMEDIATE
FAMILY SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT WOULD EITHER WE OR A LOVED ONE GET SERIOUSLY ILL IS LACK
OF ADEQUATELY MONEY DURING THIS TRYING TIME.
WITH US TODAY TO DISCUSS PRACTICAL FINANCIAL OPTIONS WHEN SERIOUS ILLNESS STRIKES IS LEE
BURMAN.
LEE IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF POLICY SERVICES AND CHIEF SETTLEMENT ADVISOR WITH ASSET FUNDING
CORPORATION.
WELCOME LEE.
IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC WE'RE DISCUSSING TODAY AND YOU KNOW, WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
IN THE POPULATION NOT PREPARED OR NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS THAT ACCOMPANY
LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES?
JULIE, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
I THINK THERE ARE PROBABLY TWO REASONS FOR THAT.
NUMBER ONE: IS THAT NO ONE CAN REALLY BE PREPARED AND CAN EXPECT TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH SOMETHING
LIKE CANCER OR LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE.
TRUE.
SO, THERE'S NO WAY TO PREPARE FOR THAT FINANCIALLY.
THE SECOND THING I THINK PEOPLE JUST DON'T REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF DIAGNOSIS
AND YOU'RE GOING THROUGH TREATMENT, FINANCIALLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN THE SAME PLACE AS
YOU WERE BEFORE.
FOR MANY PEOPLE THE HAVE TO MISS SIGNIFICANT TIME FROM WORK.
RIGHT.
THE INCOME DOESN'T COME IN ANYMORE BUT THEY ARE STILL REQUIRED TO MAKE THEIR HOUSE PAYMENT,
THEIR CAR PAYMENT.
SURE.
PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
SO, THOSE ARE PROBABLY THE TWO MAIN REASONS.
YOU KNOW, LEE, A PHRASE AND SUBJECT MATTER YOU KNOW WELL BUT MOST OF US HAVE NEVER HEARD
OF, I HAD NOT.
IS A VIATICAL SETTLEMENT.
WHAT ARE THEY?
VIATICAL SETTLEMENT IS BASICALLY THE SALE OF AN EXISTING LIFE INSURANCE POLICY FROM
THE POLICY OWNER TO A THIRD PARTY FOR CASH.
IN EVERY CASE, LESS THAN THE DEATH BENEFIT BUT MORE THAN THE CASE SURRENDER VALUE OF
THE POLICY.
WOW.
TELL US WHAT ASSET FUNDING CORP IS DOING TO MAKE VIATICAL SETTLEMENTS A VIABLE OPTIONS
FOR THOSE WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES WHO ARE DEALING WITH LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES?
WELL, FOR OVER 10 YEARS, ASSET FUNDING CORPORATION HAS BEEN WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
EITHER DIAGNOSED WITH EITHER THIS TYPE OF ILLNESS OR THEIR FAMILIES MEMBERS, CAREGIVERS,
OR THEIR FINANCIAL ADVISORS TO MAKE A VIATICAL SETTLEMENT AN OPTION FOR THEM.
AND WHAT WE DO IS EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AT
SELLYOURINSURANCE.COM WE PROVIDE THE TOOLS TO DO AN EVALUATION OF
THE POLICY.
LOOK AT THINGS LIKE THEIR PREMIUMS, THE HISTORY AND THE RULES OF THE POLICY AS WELL AS THEIR
MEDICAL CONDITION.
AND BY GATHERING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WE CAN GIVE THEM OPTIONS.
WE CAN EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE OPTIONS IS THEIR POLICY.
THEY MIGHT HAVE OPTIONS THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF AND ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS VERY WELL
COULD BE THAT ASSET FUNDING CORPORATION COULD MAKE THEM AN OFFER TO ACTUALLY BUY THE POLICY
FROM THEM AND GET THEM THAT MUCH NEEDED CASH.
NOW, DO ALL LIFE INSURANCE POLICY HOLDERS QUALIFY?
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
WELL, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR A VIATICAL SETTLEMENT YOU DO HAVE TO BEEN DIAGNOSES WITH ONE OF
THESE ILLNESSES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO, THIS IS CANCER, LOU GHERIGS, HEART DISEASE, AIDS,
KIDNEY DISEASE.
CORRECT.
YEAH OK.
AND BUT YOU DO HAVE TO ONE OF THESE ILLNESSES TO QUALIFY FOR A VIATICAL SETTLEMENT.
A PERFECTLY HEALTHY PERSON IN THEIR 40'S OR 50'S WOULD NOT QUALIFY.
NOW, FOR PEOPLE NOT FAMILIAR, LIKE I WAS NOT WITH VIATICALS, WHAT SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY
REASON FOR CONSIDERING THIS TYPE OF OPTION.
FOR MOST PEOPLE IN THIS SITUATION, THE FINANCIAL STRESS THAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING AND WHAT WE STRIVE TO DO IS TO GET THEM THE CASH THEY NEED TO RELIVE
THAT FINANCIAL STRESS.
PUT THE CASH IN THEIR POCKETS TO HELP THEM PAY FOR AGAIN ALL OF THESE DAY TO DAY EXPENSES
THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH.
AND ARE THERE COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS FINANCIAL TOOL?
YES, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MISCONCEPTIONS IN WHAT WE DO.
THE FIRST IS THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU HAVE TO BEEN GIVEN A TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS IN
ORDER TO QUALIFY AND THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
REALLY?
YOU CAN HAVE A LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY THAN LESS THAN TWO YEARS TO QUALIFY FOR A VIATICAL
SETTLEMENT.
THE SECOND IS THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK YOU NEED A PERMANENT OR WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
IN ORDER TO SELL THE POLICY.
IN FACT, THE MAJORITY OF THE POLICIES THAT WE BUY ARE TERM POLICIES OR GROUP POLICIES.
GROUP POLICIES BEING ONE THROUGH YOUR JOB.
WOW.
AND AS THE USE OF VIATICAL SETTLEMENTS HAS INCREASED OVER TIME, HOW HAS THE APPROACH
EVOLVED?
WELL, A VIATICAL SETTLEMENT INDUSTRY REALLY STARTED IN THE LATE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S WHEN
HIV AND THE AIDS EPIDEMIC STARTED IN OUR COUNTRY.
AND AT THE TIME PEOPLE WERE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY TO PAY FOR TREATMENTS THAT WEREN'T COVERED
BY THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE.
AND SELLING A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY BECAME A GOOD OPTION FOR THEM.
BUT OVER THE YEARS, THE INDUSTRY HAS EXPANDED INTO ILLNESSES SUCH AS CANCER OR HEART DISEASE
AND KIDNEY FAILURE.
ALRIGHT FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU LEE, AS A SPECIALIST WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU GIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSIDERING
THIS?
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET EDUCATED.
NOT ONLY ON YOUR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION AND THE ASSETS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BUT ALSO
WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE.
WHAT WE OFFER AT ASSET FUNDING CORPORATION IS A COMPLETE EVALUATION OF THE LIFE INSURANCE
POLICY TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT ALL OF THEIR OPTIONS ARE WITH THE POLICY INCLUDING IF THEY
HAVE THE OPTION TO SELL THE POLICY AND AT THAT POINT THEY CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION
AND DO WHAT'S IN THEIR BEST INTEREST AND THE BEST INTEREST IN THEIR FAMILIES.
WELL, THIS WAS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING BY TODAY.
I MEAN THERE ARE SO MANY WITH SERIOUS ILLNESSES OUT THERE THAT HAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS EXISTS?
IT WAS MY PLEASURE.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
WELL, THANK YOU.
AND IF YOU'RE A HOLDER OF A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY AND YOU'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THE FINANCIAL OPTIONS FOR LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES VISIT US AT THEBALANCINGACT.COM

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, ONE IN SIX MEN WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE
CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME.
AND OVER 200,000 MEN WILL RECEIVE A PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS THIS YEAR.
AND MORE THAN 30,000 WILL DIE FROM THIS CONDITION.
JOINING US THIS MORNING TO SHED LIGHT ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC ARE DR.
MICHAEL J. ZACHAREAS, A BOARD CERTIFIED UROLOGIST AND PRIVATE PRACTICE IN THE NORTH SHORE BOSTON
AREA AND DR.
FERNANDO J. BIANCO, A UROLOGIST PRACTICING AT DOCTOR'S HOSPITAL AND HEAD OF UROLOGICAL
RESEARCH NETWORK.
BOTH BASED IN MIAMI, FLORIDA.
GOOD MORNING DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
THANKS FOR HAVING US.
DOCTOR ZACHAREAS, LET ME START WITH YOU.
WHAT ARE SOME TYPICAL SYMPTOMS A MAN WITH AN ABNORMAL PROSTATE MAN NOTICE OR EXPERIENCE?
WELL, TYPICALLY, THE PROSTATE CANCER DOESN'T SHOW SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS.
IT DOESN'T SHOW IT UNFORTUNATELY, UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
REALLY?
BUT PEOPLE WITH IN AN ENLARGED PROSTATE AS ALL MEN GET OLDER ENOUGH, THEY USUALLY EXPERIENCE
SYMPTOMS.
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE, SLOW STREAM, NIGHT TIME VOIDING WHICH CERTAINLY CERTAINLY BOTHERS
MEN.
URGENCY WHERE IT'S DIFFICULT TO HOLD THE URINATION.
GOING FREQUENTLY.
STARTING AND STOPPING, STANDING BY THE TOLIET WAITING FOR THE STREAM TO START.
SO, USUALLY WE FOCUS ON TREATING SYMPTOMS ONCE IT BOTHERS THEM ENOUGH TO SEEK TREATMENT.
AND DOCTOR BIANCO CAN MEN PREVENT PROSTATE CANCER?
NOT REALLY.
NOT THAT WE KNOW OF.
I MEAN THE ASSOCIATION OF PROSTATE CANCER DEALS MOSTLY WITH RISK FACTORS SUCH AS,
AFRICAN AMERICAN RACE OR A FAMILY HISTORY OF PROSTATE CANCER.
BUT YOU CAN TRY TO HAVE THE BEST NUTRITION POSSIBLE TO THE PROSTATE ITSELF
TO TRY TO KIND OF SLOW OR REGULATE THEIR GROWTH.
AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T DO THAT WITH YOUR TYPICAL DIET.
SO UMM..THAT'S WHY YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FOCUSED ON A NUTRITIONAL BLEND THAT
CAN GIVE THE BEST NUTRIENTS FOR THE PROSTATE ITSELF;
TO TRY AND KEEP IT AS HEALTHY AS WE CAN.
AND SPEAKING OF HEALTHY, DOCTOR ZACHAREAS, BIANCO, FOR HEATHY GUYS
HOW EARLY IS TOO EARLY TO BE PROSTATE SMART?
WELL, AS I MENTIONED, SINCE SYMPTOMS DON'T USUALLY OCCUR UNTIL LATER,
EARLIER IS BETTER AND AS DR.
BIANCO POINTED OUT, SOMETIMES IT'S IN YOUR FAMILY HISTORY...IT'S YOUR AGE...
IT'S YOU'RE AFRICAN AMERICAN...SO WE DEVELOP PROSTATECTION
SIMPLY BECAUSE, AS DR.
BIANCO MENTIONED, DIETS ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR GETTING ALL OF THE SUPPLEMENTS
YOU NEED SO WE DESIGNED SUPPLEMENTATION FOR THAT.
AND WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT DR.
BIANCO, LET'S SAY DIFFERENT FROM SO MANY THAT OUT
THERE?
RESEARCH.
OKAY.
WE DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH TO DEVELOP PROSTATECTION.
AHHH, IT WAS DESIGNED BY THREE PHYSICIANS AND WE FOCUSED
ON AHH INGREDIENTS THAT HAVE...LIKE BETA-SITOSTEROL THAT HAS
THE AHH A THOUSAND TIMES MORE POWER THAN THE TYPICAL
SAW PALMETTO THAT PEOPLE TALK IN BLENDS ET CETERA, ET CETERA, ALSO PYGEUM AFRICANUM THAT,
IT REGULATES THE GROWTH OF CELLS.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS BLEND AND WHAT'S OUT THERE.
DR.
ZACHAREAS I KNOW YOU HAD YOUR HAND IN THIS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE
SOME INFORMATION ALSO?
WELL, AS DR.
BIANCO SAID, THE TWO UROLOGISTS THAT DEVELOPED THIS ARE RIGHT HERE WHICH MAKES US STAND OUT
TO ALL OTHER SUPPLEMENTS ON THE MARKET IS THAT WE DID THE RESEARCH, WE PUT TOGETHER
THE PRODUCTS, WE PUT TOGETHER THE ANTIOXIDANTS AND WE DECIDED WHAT GOES IN TO CONTROL THE
PROSTATE GROWTH WHICH OVERALL IS WHAT MEN CAN TRY AND CONTROL.
AND WHERE IS THE PRODUCT AVAILABLE?
CURRENTLY IT'S AVAILABLE AT GOODPROSTATEHEALTH.COM
AND DR.
BIANCO I'M GOING TO END WITH YOU...AWARENESS?
HUGE, RIGHT?
HUGE.
THIS IS PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
WE ENCOURAGE ALL MEN TO TAKE ACTION AND WOMEN TOO.
AND WE CAN SAVE LIVES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR HAVING US.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

OVERACTIVE BLADDER IS A VERY COMMON CONDITION IN BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.
MORE COMMON THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.
ESPECIALLY IN WOMEN.
UNFORTUNATELY AS FEW AS ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN SEEK HELP FROM THEIR DOCTOR.
TODAY IN OUR FINAL INSTALLMENT OF THIS SPECIAL HEALTH MATTERS SERIES,
WE'RE LEARNING HOW SOME WOMEN ARE COPING WITH THIS VERY REAL PROBLEM
WHILE TRAVELING AND ON THE ROAD.
(GUITAR STRUMMING MUSIC) I LOVE MY JOB BUT I DON'T LOVE THE LONG COMMUTE.
TRAFFIC CAN BE VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN
SITTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN YOUR BLADDER IS SCREAMING FOR YOU TO
PULL OVER AND GO OR SHOULD I SAY, STOP.
(GUITAR STRUMMING MUSIC) NOW THAT I'M RETIRED I LOVE TRAVELING FAR
AND NEAR.
BUT WITH AN OVERACTIVE BLADDER, IT'S SO HARD FOR ME.
I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHERE THE NEXT BATHROOM IS GOING TO BE.
AND IT TAKES SO MUCH FUN OUT OF ALL OF MY ADVENTURES.
AMY AND JENNIFER ARE EXPERIENCING OVERACTIVE BLADDER.
IT'S NOT A DISEASE BUT A REAL MEDICAL CONDITION THAT AFFECTS
AN ESTIMATED ONE IN EVERY THREE WOMEN.
THIS CAN SEEN IN WOMEN OVER 45 AND MANY TIMES IT'S A COMBINATION
OF SEVERAL THINGS THAT PROMOTE THIS AS TIME GOES ON.
EARLIER LIFESTYLES SUCH AS SPORTS, SPORTS THAT WE PLAYED.
STARTING A FAMILY AS TIME GOES ON.
ALL OF THIS CONTRIBUTES TO SOME DEGREE OF THIS CONDITION.
I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY HYDRATED BUT WHEN I LEAVE MY HOUSE
IN THE MORNING, I NEVER KNOW HOW MANY BATHROOM STOPS I'M GOING TO
HAVE.
IT'S ESPECIALLY BAD IN THE MORNING WHEN I NEED THAT
BIG CUP OF COFFEE.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY WHEN MY FLIGHT WAS DELAYED AND WE
HAD TO SIT ON THE RUNWAY FOR HOURS.
THE FEELING WAS UNBEARABLE.
THE URGE TO GO WAS UNBEARABLE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I EVER MADE IT THROUGH.
HAVING TO HAVE TO GO ALL THE TIME IS BECOMING PART OF MY
DAILY ROUTINE.
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS THAT I HEAR IS,
THAT THE PATIENT WILL COME IN AND THEY'LL SAY,
"UGH, EVERY TIME I GO OUT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO USE EVERY RESTROOM IN TOWN."
OR THEY'LL TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE TO GET UP THREE OR FOUR TIMES DURING THE EVENING.
AND IT'S INTERFERING WITH THEIR SLEEP.
THEY HAVE TO ALLOW FOR IT IN THEIR DAILY SCHEDULE.
AND THEN I'LL ASK THEM, "HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON?"
AND THEY'LL GET INTO THE HISTORY, "WELL, IT'S REALLY PROGRESSIVE OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS BUT MOST RECENTLY IT'S REALLY STARTING TO INTERFERE WITH MY LIFE."
BOTH AMY AND JENNIFER SOUGHT HELP FROM THEIR DOCTOR.
THIS CONDITION CAN BE SEEN IN WOMEN OVER 45.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FOR WOMEN TO INDIVIDUALLY TO REALIZE THAT
THIS CONDITION IS DEVELOPING AND NOT TO WAIT TOO LONG.
START OFF SEEING YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN OR YOUR OBGYN AND IF NECESSARY, THEY WILL
REFER YOU TO A UROLOGIST FOR A COMPLETE EVALUATION.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY DIAGNOSED BY A DOCTOR.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GUESS AT SOMETHING THIS VITAL TO YOUR HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE.
LUCKILY THERE ARE SEVERAL MEDICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE THAT ARE HELPING WOMEN WITH
OVERACTIVE BLADDER, EVERYWHERE.
I TAKE ON PILL, ONCE A DAY.
THAT'S IT.
I CAN GO PLACES AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY AS MUCH.
ISN'T THAT RETIRING IS ALL ABOUT?
I'M ON MEDICATION TOO, AND IT HELPS ME MANAGE MY SYMPTOMS SO THAT I CAN FOCUS ON MY DAY.
I CAN FROM MY HOUSE TO WORK WITHOUT STOPPING.
I DON'T NEED AS MANY BATHROOM BREAKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS COULD BE TREATED.
THERE ARE SEVERAL LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT CAN OCCUR.
AH DURING THE EVALUATION THAT YOUR PHYSICIAN WILL GOING INTO, HE'LL TALK ABOUT WHAT SUBSTANCES
YOU LIKE TO DRINK.
SODA, COFFEE, AND IF SIMPLE BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATIONS DON'T CHANGE THAT, THEN, THEN YOU WOULD GO
ON TO MEDICATIONS THAT WOULD HELP.
AND OVERACTIVE BLADDER DOESN'T HAVE TO SLOW YOU DOWN WHEN YOU ARE ON THE GO.
