Drug for Increased Triglycerides Approved Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride (TG) levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (TG greater than or equal to 500mg/dL). Vascepa is a prescription fi sh oil derived medication that contains ultra-pure omega-3 fatty acid. In clinical trials, it demonstrated a statistically signifi cant reduction in triglycerides by 33% relative to placebo, and did not show an increase in levels of the bad cholesterol “LDL-C”. Individuals taking Vascepa should engage in appropriate nutritional intake and physical activity, which should continue during treatment. The most common side effect of Vascepa is joint pain. Hypertriglyceridemia is frequently diagnosed in the United States. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, strokes and acute pancreatitis. Hopefully, the approval of this medication in the United States will help in the fi ght against hypertriglyceridemia and in the reduction of the incidents of the different debilitating conditions that are associated with this disorder. Mike’s PHARMACY Call 874-3554 or Toll Free 800-766-2089 Hwy 287 West • Clarendon, Texas Clarendon Church of Christ A PRECIOUS COMMODITY No matter how accomplished the farmer or rancher, he or she must have water. Water is a much talked about subject. Every morning when I visit with some friends at the Outpost, rain, or the lack of it, is always discussed. Rain gauges, radar, and faulty weathermen are always part of the morning discussion. Last year was a rough year and it hurt a lot of folks. While we’ve had some rain this year, it is nothing to shout about. I wonder how often some of us discuss the One in charge of the rain. The Bible discusses in many places about praying to God for what we need. James 1:5, for example, tells us to ask God if we need wisdom. The verse tells us to ask in faith. That means we must believe that God is going to listen and act. Of course the Bible teaches that one must be persistent, Luke 11:5-13. In Luke 11:5-13, Jesus tells the parable of the friend at midnight. A man has an unexpected visitor drop in and he has no bread for him to eat. He goes to a friend’s house, around midnight, and knocks. He asks for 3 loaves of bread. The friend says it is too late as he and his children have gone to bed. The man is persistent and continues to knock. Finally, not out of love, sympathy, etc., but because the friend wants to get rid of the fellow, he gets up and gives him the bread. The Lord explains that a person praying to God should continue and be persistent. God will answer. Do we really petition God often for rain or other things we need? Do we go to Him in faith and often? Of course prayer is ignored by God if the one praying is not living right. Isaiah 1:12-16 tells us that God will close His eyes and ears to us when we aren’t living according to His word. I wonder how often we realize that our prayers could be ineffectual because of our wrong relationship with God or others. Friends, as precious as rain is, prayer and our spiritual relationship with God are more precious. Physically we can’t live without the water, but we can’t live at all without God! Maybe, if we all seek God, our rain problem would cease. It could just be the weather patterns for the reason we have been so dry, or maybe it is the Weather Maker trying to wake us up.
