Stop Smoking Programs Highlighted in Stop Smoking Foundation Website

January 5th, 2009

Tacoma, WA  ( Prfriend ) January 5, 2009 — StopSmoking.net (http://www.stopsmoking.net), the website of the Stop Smoking Foundation, has launched an informative series of pages aimed at helping people around the world stop smoking. The Stop Smoking Foundation’s efforts are focused on outcomes-based solutions for anyone who is serious about stopping smoking.

“We want everyone to know that there’s support,” said Rachel Jeffers, the Stop Smoking Foundation’s media relations expert. “No one who wants to stop smoking today should ever have to worry about not having free stop smoking aids, free stop smoking programs, the benefits of stopping, and what to expect when you stop smoking,” Jeffers said.

Stop Smoking Foundation staffers spent hundreds of hours polling former smokers to discover which methods helped them stop smoking. A surprising variety of quitting methods was used, including hypnosis, nicotine patches and nasal spray, nicotine patches, shots, prescription medications like Chantix, Zyban and Wellbutrin, and even herbal remedies and acupuncture. The results surprised the staff.

“No one knew how many methods there were to stop smoking,” Jeffers stated. “Each of us had stopped smoking on our own, using differing methods. We’d discussed how we had stopped smoking among ourselves. But no one really knew how many different ways there were to stop smoking.” Jeffers went on, “We were also really surprised by how effective some of the remedies were.”

“The prevalence of herbal remedies, and their apparent effectiveness, really came as a shock,” Jeffers noted. “It is clear to us that there are highly effective herbal solutions available over the counter to help people stop smoking.” Furthermore, Jeffers said, “If a friend or relative of mine were to ask, I’d recommend stop smoking herbs (http://www.stopsmoking.net/herbs.html) in a heartbeat.” Key herbal ingredients include lobelia, passion flower, ginger root, skullcap and eleuthero root.

With New Year’s Day Eve imminent, and the subsequent renunciation of smoking and related resolutions, the Stop Smoking Foundation is bracing for a deluge of visitors. “The first week of the new year sees the biggest spike in searches related to stopping smoking, quitting smoking and the easiest ways to kick nicotine addiction. We want to make sure we’re prepared to handle the flood of traffic — and help every single visitor stop smoking.”

The Stop Smoking Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the goal of a smoke-free America, and a smoke-free world. The Stop Smoking Foundation is staffed primarily by former smokers and people who have left big tobacco corporations to work together to help everyone who wants to stop smoking. Do you want to stop smoking? You can get free help online, 24 hours a day, at http://www.stopsmoking.net

LPG’s Cellu M6 Keymodule Gets FDA Clearance for Treating Lymphedema

December 17th, 2008

Miami, FL – According to the World Health Organization, Lymphedema afflicts hundreds of millions worldwide. Of these, the US Department of Health and Human Services estimates more than 300 million are American. Various forms of massage are used to treat this painful condition, but none really have enough consistency or depth-of-action to produce results. But now one does. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has just given the Class 1 Cellu M6 Keymodule, manufactured by LPG, Inc. (a medical device company renowned as the world leader in connective tissue technology), full FDA clearance for Lymphedema. The new claims are as follows:

· Reduction of secondary Lymphedema of the arm (SLA) post mastectomy (RX only)

· Improvement of secondary Lymphedema (RX only)

· Improvement of lymphatic circulation in the treated area (RX only)

For this FDA clearance, LPG presented well-documented, scientifically proven clinical results showing the Technology’s efficacy on the body’s circulatory, anti-edematous and dermatrophic systems. Along with these published studies, multimodal clinical studies examining the efficacy and durability of the traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Compression Bandaging (CB) versus the non-invasive LPG Treatment were conducted by Neil Piller, M.D., Professor for Lymphology at the Lymphedema Assessment Clinic of Flinders University Medical Center in South Australia.

Michel Van Welden, the Chief Executive Officer of Techno-Derm (LPG’s exclusive US distributor), explains, “Dr. Piller’s research demonstrates that LPG Technology offers an all-inclusive, standardized therapy for SLA pathology – with greater consistency, efficacy and faster results than MLD – which confirms that LPG devices are essential for treating patients with Lymphedema.”

The study included 45 patients with a Lymphedema volume difference of > 200 ML who had had a mastectomy and auxiliary clearance with SLA within at least 31 mo. (post-chemo and/or radiotherapy). The 24 in the LPG test group completed 16 sessions for anastomosis mobilization and drainage (4 times a week over 4 weeks) for 25 minutes (duration/session). The 21 in the MLD Control Group completed 16 sessions on the unaffected and affected arms, neck, back, upper am and torso (4 times a week over 4 weeks) for 45 minutes (duration/session).

Participants were required to have not had active arm or LPG Treatment prior to entry. Evaluation criteria included perometry imaging device for volume and cutaneous skinfold circumference measurements, tonometry for bio-impedance measurements, lymphoscintigraphy for functional modifications, echography for tissue thickness and structural modifications and self questionnaires of QDV impact on pain, hardness, and heaviness.

The research concluded that the LPG Treatment showed significant decreases in perometry (18%), bio-impedance (23.5%), and tissue softening in half the time as the MLD control group and with a sustained effect. What’s that mean? That LPG’s FDA cleared Cellu M6 Keymodule presents a lastingly effective solution for millions of Lymphedema sufferers around the world. Lymphedema occurs whenever lymph nodes have been damaged - so although this study examines the Cellu M6 Keymodule’s treatment of breast cancer mastectomy Lymphedema – it’s also ideal for Lymphedemas resulting from lumpectomies, radiation treatments and many other procedures.

Study Information:

Professor Neil Piller, MD is a lymphologist and the Team Leader of the Lymphedema Assessment Clinic at Flinders Surgical Oncology. He is a professor at the Flinders University Medical Center in South Australia and co-author of The Lymphedema Handbook: Causes, Effects and Management, 2002.

LPG Technology is marketed and distributed by Techno-Derm, LLC, (DBA: LPG America), 10800 Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 850 in Miami, Florida. For more on LPG treatments and LPG’s FDA-cleared medical devices, visit www.cellum6.com.

Acai Berry Supplement Reviews Website Analyzes Leading Acai Products

December 15th, 2008

Los Angeles, CA  ( Prfriend ) December 15, 2008 — Acaiberry.org (http://www.acaiberry.org), a customer-focused information site, launched today. This new website details the purity and effectiveness of the top-selling brands of acai berry supplements, offering a free database of acai berry reviews (http://www.acaiberry.org/reviews/index.html) and analysis.

“We have a sole purpose: to educate and inform the customer,” said Johanna Yardley, a content specialist and key member of the Acaiberry.org team. “Acai berries are the newest tool in the battle for weight loss. The sudden popularity of acai berry supplements has led to the creation of literally hundreds of new products. You wouldn’t believe how many of them are fake.”

Yardley explained the boom in demand for acai berries. “Acai comes from the Amazon rain forest. A lot of the suppliers are mom-and-pop farms. They don’t have a lot of flexibility in their harvesting schedules. Now there are hundreds of supplement manufacturers in the United States and around the world screaming for acai berries, but the Amazon’s already producing at maximum volume. To make matters worse, a lot of the acai berry producers are working in an ecologically-friendly, sustainable way. That’s great for the planet but lowers productivity.”

The huge demand from consumers, and from manufacturers, can lead to acai berry supplements that use small amounts of acai and lots of filler. “We’ve seen acai berry supplements that claim to be pure, and contain less than 3% acai,” Yardley said.  “That’s just not fair to the consumer.”

In order to fight this exploitation of consumers, Yardley worked to launch AcaiBerry.org to highlight the top acai berry products.  “Despite the huge demand, there are still a handful of people doing the right thing — creating real acai products that people can believe in.”

Acai berries are a staple of many native Amazon tribes. The berries contain omega-3 oils and contain twice the antioxidant density of the blueberry. Many health benefits are reported from regular consumption of acai berries, including increased energy, decreased cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased blood flow and detoxification. In recent years, acai has become famous through the multi-level marketing program associated with Mona Vie (a blended fruit juice that contains acai berry). Acai went mainstream when top television programs, including The Today Show and Oprah, profiled acai’s healing powers.

“There is a definite connection between acai berry and weight loss (http://www.acaiberry.org/weight-loss.html),” Yardley stated with a confident nod. “I’ve lost eighteen pounds in the last three months. I take acai berry supplements every day.” However, Yardley would not reveal which brand of acai berry supplements she chose. “That’s why we put together Acaiberry.org. Everyone can read the information and make their own decision about what’s best for them.”

Detoxologie Releases Full Body Detox Program Online

December 1st, 2008

Detoxologie, trusted leader of body detoxification and parasites cleanse, announces the online availability of it’s 30 day, 5 product body detoxification program. The “Body Cleanse Deluxe Program” is the culmination of extensive market research, a worldwide search for top-quality ingredients and a diligent trial period to perfect the unique, proprietary botanical blends.

Unlike a typical pysllium based “colon-only” cleansing program, the Detoxologie program not only promotes colon cleanse, but also detoxification of the entire digestive and elimination systems – colon, kidneys/bladder, liver, lungs and skin. The five Detoxologie products forming the program are: “Clear”, a digestive system and colon-cleansing fiber drink; “Cleanse”, an internal organ detoxification catalyst; “Enhance” a containing one of natures true super foods split cell chlorella promotes heavy metal detoxification of aluminum, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead. “Enhance”, which restores vital nutrients typically stripped from the body while fasting or cleansing; “Purify”, an anti-parasitical combats the ever increasing number of cases of parasitical infection including whipworms, tapeworms, and roundworms; the final component of the program “Revive” is a detoxifying bath salt that helps to open the pores of the skin allowing toxins to be released.

The Detoxologie Complete 30 Day Cleansing Program is the only detoxification program available that includes detoxifying bath salts as a prime component of its program. “This is significant” says Detoxologie CEO, Steve Franzmann. “The skin is the largest organ of the body and yet it is consistently ignored or overlooked by those claiming to be the most popular, most advanced or best detoxification companies. You truly cannot claim to have a complete body cleansing program that does not include a high quality, all natural bath salt. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new, complete detox program.”

“I am extremely pleased to see this natural way to enhance overall health and wellness available to the general public” said Detoxologie spokesman Dr. Stephen Barrie. “I have been in the health and wellness industry for many, many years and I’ve seen a lot of internal body cleansing programs. The Detoxologie program is far and away the most complete, balanced and well thought out program I have ever seen. I can’t wait to see the positive results this program is sure to generate.”

Obesity Crisis of Australia Creates Lucrative Fitness Opportunities

November 27th, 2008

Alarmingly, in a recent survey Australia was found to have the highest incidence of obesity in the world that s right, we came out one per cent higher than the US; how scary is that? The silver lining of the dire state of our nation s health, however, is that there remains an abundance of work for educated, qualified and passionate personal trainers. The more unhealthy our population, the fuller the personal trainer’s books become!

Australia actually leads the way in terms of fitness education standards. Many countries around the globe are mimicking the set up we operate with, to ensure that educational standards are regulated and a professional registration scheme is in place. What this scheme ensures is that personal trainers are adequately qualified and insured to prescribe exercise to the masses. Even better, thanks to organisations like FISAF and Australian Fitness Network, personal trainers who become qualified in Australia are being more widely (and instantly) recognised in other countries, including Canada and the UK, allowing them to be immediately employable (visa conditions permitting of course) when they take themselves and their personal trainer qualification overseas.

So why sit in that dead-end job any longer? Change your career for one in a vibrant, dynamic and energetic fitness industry. Becoming a personal trainer is easier and more fun - than you think.

Simply Supplements Launch New Simplyvaluetm Discount Range

November 26th, 2008

The launch coincides with “a remarkable increase in customers who have switched to us (Simply Supplements) from more expensive suppliers in search of high quality products which are also great value for money” said Carole Davidson, Marketing Executive for Simply Supplements who also highlighted the philosophy behind the new brand: “As we are all aware, the cost of living is increasing in more ways than one. Energy bills have increased by almost 30% in the past year alongside increases in food prices which are set to increase the average household’s annual food bill by an enormous £750… at Simply Supplements we understand that at times like this, value for money is key, and there is no time like the present for making every penny go that little bit further. With this in mind, we (Simply Supplements) are proud to introduce our new SimplyValueTM range, which incorporates a variety of products with a further 10% off their original prices.”

In view of the current economic climate and the shift in numerous customers’ purchasing patterns to greater value alternatives Carole said: “Whilst a number of our customers continue to choose our products that we have spared no expense in sourcing the strongest and purest ingredients available in the marketplace, like those within our established Simply SupplementsTM and SimplyBestTM ranges, we have seen extraordinary success in our lowest price in the UK guarantee, our best seller ‘giveaways’ and our buy one get one free sale which is due in part to some customers being forced to limit their spend, which we have been able to respond to very effectively… there has never been a better time to launch our value range, giving Simply Supplements’ customer even more choice of high quality supplements at truly unbeatable and affordable prices.”

Carole also went on to emphasise the vital role that increased customer demand has played in the onset of the new SimplyValueTM range, saying that “this has only been achievable due to the continued support and demand for our products from hundreds of thousands of our valued customers. Due to the popular demand for a number of our products, our purchasing team has been able to achieve even better economies of scale and cost savings… we value our customer’s support and the SimplyValueTM range is our way of giving back to them.”

The new range is the latest addition to Simply Supplements’ recent ‘Simply’ branding strategy which also incorporates ranges of high quality supplements including SimplyActiveTM – a range of nutritional supplements such as whey protein and creatine, SimplyPetsTM – a range of comprehensive supplements including glucosamine, which are suitable for cats and dogs and SimplyBestTM – a range of supplements of unprecedented quality and purity including new glucosamine and chondroitin combinations, which along with the new SimplyValueTM range and the established Simply SupplementsTM brand, leaves Simply Supplements suitably poised to meet the ever-changing and differing needs of the modern consumer.

Maple Heights Woman, 74, Discovers Fountain of Youth; Regains Her Desire to Exercise and be Active

November 24th, 2008

Cleveland, OH, ( Prfriend ) November 24, 2008 – As a mother of nine and grandmother of 26, it’s no wonder Maple Heights’ Betty Terrion found herself exhausted on a daily basis. Being the matriarch of a large family is hard work, and most people would say Betty earned the right to relax during her golden years. The only problem: Betty wasn’t ready to hang up her walking shoes.

“I’ve had an eventful and delightful life,” says Betty, “but I wasn’t happy with my lack of energy. In fact, I was embarrassed by it.” Over the past several years, Betty’s arthritic knees slowly hampered her mobility to the point where she woke up every morning, said her prayers, made breakfast for her and husband Daniel, and then went back to bed for 30 minutes to rest.

“I was always tired (http://www.joeblumenstein.com), and I had no energy,” Betty says, noting that she often declined outings with friends due to her listlessness. “Instead of going out, I’d make excuses to stay home. The lack of energy depressed me something awful.”

Betty’s life changed dramatically after she heard a radio ad for a free range bee pollen (http://www.joeblumenstein.com) product that promised to boost energy. After taking the product for two weeks, Betty felt a significant shift in her energy. On a scale of 1 to 10, she was a self-professed 4 before taking the bee pollen; now she’s at 9.

“I have more, so much more energy, which I’m thrilled with,” Betty says. “It’s made me feel younger, too, because I’m doing so much more than I was before.” Instead of going back to bed in the mornings, Betty now uses her treadmill for 15 minutes seven days a week and has a goal of boosting her daily regimen to 20 minutes.

Betty wanted to make sure her physician approved of her new routine. She got the green light during a recent visit, when the doctor said: If it makes you feel good, keep doing it. Betty has since stopped taking her daily multi-vitamin, too. “I never felt a difference taking vitamins; I took them because I thought they were good for me,” she says.

The transformation has surprised her entire family. “They were always asking me, ‘what in the world has gotten into you?’ says Betty. Now her husband, two sisters, two daughters and a grandson are taking the pollen.

“I’m thrilled to pieces. I have so much more energy throughout the day, and it affects my attitude in a positive way,” says Betty. “I’m up and ready to go nowadays, accepting invitations with friends rather than making excuses. I’m a completely different person and enjoying my new-found energy.”

Betty Terrion of Maple Heights, Ohio is a superb interview who will fill your readers with information that will be of value to them today and for the rest of their lives. She is available for comment and interview by contacting Joe Blumenstein (http://www.joeblumenstein.com) at (305) 785-5944.

Researchers Target Lymphatic System Cause Behind Many Diseases

November 23rd, 2008

Nevada – Dr. Paul Yanick was born with a systemic lymphatic disease that caused him to go deaf and lose kidney function in his late teens. During his childhood, his parents sought out every renowned specialist and were distraught and overwhelmed to find extremely limited information and treatments available for lymphatic disorders. Today, forty years later, despite being sent home to die at only twenty years old; Yanick tells his story and highlights his research in this neglected medical field in a new e-book entitled “The Forgotten River of Health.” He reviews his hundreds of research studies which started in 1976 in the Journal of the American Audiology Society with a clinical study that linked the swelling of lymph fluids to deafness and brain and nervous system abnormalities.

Yanick is not alone citing the medical neglect of the lymphatic system. The 2006 Senate Appropriations Committee Report stated “The lymphatic system is central to the progression of disease and the maintenance of health, yet scientific and medical knowledge of this important system is woefully deficient. According to Michael Detmar, PhD this forgotten river of health provides a “… hot new field. We are in a pioneering phase; there is still so much to discover.”

Just as the currents of a river run through the mountains and valleys to cleanse out the landscape, the body’s internal waterways made up of lymphatic fluids function as a “river of health,” cleansing the body by carrying away accumulated wastes and foreign invaders. This powerful cleansing aqueduct is actually twice as large as there are twice as many lymph vessels as there are blood vessels.  The lymphatic system is the body’s first line of defense against disease. As the body’s internal cleansing waterway, it plays an indispensible role in immunity and in the body’s immune surveillance against cancer. When immune surveillance fails, cancer grows and spreads (metastasizes), and inflammatory diseases like fibromyalgia, lupus, arthritis, and shingles progress into incapacitating disorders.

The lymphatic system is the most forgotten and neglected system of the entire body. It is composed of a network of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels. These lymphatic capillaries carry lymph fluid into tissues throughout the body. Lymph fluid is loaded with infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes that originate from clusters of bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes, which are found under the arms and in the groin, neck, chest, and abdomen. Lymphatic organs include the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow.

Designed to function as a cleansing aqueduct, bathing each cell and draining away detritus through the circulatory system, its malfunction causes brain fog, chemical sensitivity, depression, fatigue, headaches and often a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. Stagnant lymph interferes with the body’s ability to cleanse viruses, bacteria, mutagenic cells, metabolic toxins and cancer, and it inhibits critical self-repair and self-healing mechanisms in the body, causing acne, skin rashes, cysts, tumors, fibrocystic breast lumps, fatty tumors, and in advanced cases spider veins and cellulite.

In 2005 Nature (436:28) an article entitled ”Unlocking the Drains” stated, “After centuries of playing second fiddle to the blood system, our lymphatic circulation is coming into its own as a key player in diseases ranging from cancer to asthma. Once dismissed as a mere drainage network, the body’s ‘second circulation’ [lymphatic system] is emerging as a crucial player in numerous diseases….and as a vital part of the normal immune system.” Dr. Robert Smith, director of cancer screening for the American Cancer Society stated, “Lymphatic diseases, including lymphedema are important health problems which until very recently received far too little attention.”

Wendy Chaite, the Founder and President of the Lymphatic Research Foundation (LRF), states, “It is the lymphatic system, after all, that is the body’s first defense against disease. A disorder of the lymphatic system affects virtually every other system in the body. Research into how the lymphatic system works promises preventive and therapeutic benefits for millions of people afflicted with a broad array of diseases. There is tremendous potential for health benefits hidden within the lymphatic system. The power to discover these benefits is in the hands of the researchers and in the will of the patient community and their loved ones.”

Does your lymphatic system need attention? If you are overweight around the abdomen, have skin abnormalities, allergies, digestive disorders or have chronic fatigue, anxiety or nervous system issues, your lymphatic system is already moderately compromised. If you’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, cancer, multiple sclerosis, multiple chemical sensitivity, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease, lupus, arthritis, asthma or have cellulite or varicose veins your lymphatic system is chronically compromised with no traditional medical cure available.

A Closer Look at Total Cleanse

November 19th, 2008

Total Cleanse is an all-advanced internal cleansing formula which is used by more than 500,000 Americans. It provides the best results in terms of removal of toxins in the body especially the harmful ones that can later on lead to various health problems. Total Cleanse reviews had established its advanced proprietary blend and efficacy in eliminating colonic waste, toxic build ups and parasites, making it the best and the most powerful internal cleansing formula in the market.

Total Cleanse is currently giving away a free 15-day trial supply for those who want to experience its cleansing and detoxifying action. Free Total Cleanse which is good for 15 days can help you experience its body cleansing properties at no cost. After this free trial period, you can decide for yourself if you want to purchase the full cleansing product.

Total Cleanse results are apparent after only 14 days of usage as testified by those people who have tried the product. Many users and testers had noted a drop of 10 to 15 pounds from their weight during the first 14 days of using Total Cleanse. This is 10 to 15 pounds worth of colonic waste and build-ups stored in the body.

Total Cleanse benefits are exceptional and cannot be provided by any other body detoxifying products often seen online and featured in various stores. This is a unique all-natural product which is unlike any other product sold in the market that highlights the same action and internal body cleansing properties. Some of the best and well-known Total Cleanse health benefits that consumers can expect from this potent formula are; complete cleansing action and detoxification of the colon, replenishment of friendly and healthy bacteria in the intestines, detoxification of the body’s vital organs like the liver, kidneys and other areas of the body where toxins and heavy metals tend to build up and as a result of removal of toxic waste in the body, a flatter stomach can be achieved and weight drop of 10 to 15 pounds notable after the first 14 days of usage.

Another unique and exceptional feature of Total Cleanse is that it can replenish the essential nutrients and antioxidants that had been lost due to the harmful body pollution. This is an essential feature missed by other competitive products. Total Cleanse body cleansing and detoxifying solution is the same product featured in Dr. Oz and Oprah. It is indeed one of the healthiest and well-loved products in America with thousands of satisfied users and testers.

Imagine how much waste and toxins accumulate in our body as days, months and even years go by. These impurities may be the culprit for so many health problems that people encounter such as fatigue and physical exhaustion, skin problems such as dry skin and acne, hypertension, constipation, gastric problems and many others. The bottom line is that, the body becomes polluted as time goes by due to accumulation of toxins. This can be harmful to the various organs in the body. Moreover, accumulated waste in the colon can even interfere with absorption of essential nutrients coming from the food that is taken. By following the recommended intake of Total Cleanse, this can be avoided. More importantly, proper health and wellness can be promoted. Nothing beats the amazing results because you will feel better, lighter and cleansed from within.

People are becoming more and more conscious with their physical appearance nowadays. It is a competitive world out there and people are striving to look their best in order to land the best jobs, get noticed for promotions, to socialize and many other reasons. These are the reasons why many beauty products are being advertised. Some are for skin cleansing, skin renewal and rejuvenation, skin lightening and blemish removal among many others. There are numerous soaps, gels, shampoos and creams that are meant to cleanse the external body. However, there remain toxins inside you and they are just there building up with the passage of time. The best way to look great is to feel great. Total Cleanse can do the job effectively because real cleansing comes from within. Once your body’s toxins are eliminated, you will feel clean and beautiful inside and out. Removal of toxins from your body also promotes good skin, healthier system and sound body.

Total Cleanse is an all-natural product proven by thousands of Americans to deliver exceptional results both for health and wellness. It has a tried and tested formula that had made a lot of people happy not only for its detoxifying properties but also because it can help people achieve and maintain a flatter tummy. Things cannot get any better with Total Cleanse.

Total Cleanse Reviews had featured numerous people who had been greatly satisfied by its effective formula. The best part is that it can help replenish the essential nutrients and antioxidants needed by the body but had been lost as a result of body pollution. This is one important product feature of Total Cleanse that is reason enough for people to try and test it.

If you want to experience the amazing health benefits of Total Cleanse, simply get hold of the free trial pack and receive 15 days worth of free supply. The trial period can help you decide whether or not to purchase the full cleansing product. Clearly, there is nothing to lose but a lot to gain from simply getting hold of a trial package. During the trial phase, clear results can already be expected and that only consists of 15 days.

A healthy body is clean and detoxified from inside out. Total Cleanse is one natural health product that you can include to complete your cleansing ritual. It guarantees results that you can never find elsewhere or in any other product sold in the market. Keep in mind that colonic waste, toxins, build ups and parasites can harm your body in many ways.

You would be surprised at how inner cleansing can help improve even your physical appearance.

Acai Berries

November 19th, 2008

Acai Berries - What to Expect from This Super Food

Considered as the topmost super food in the world today, Acai Berries are described as grape-like, though smaller in size and a darker purple in color. These berries have large seeds and with lesser pulp than ordinary grapes. Featured in numerous shows such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Rachael Ray Show, Acai Berry Reviews have been receiving positive results from users all over the world.

The Acai Berry Health Benefits

These “super” berries are known to possess incredible amounts of antioxidants. The Acai fruit is derived from the Acai Palm Trees normally found in the lush rainforests of the Amazon in Brazil. In the medical world, antioxidants are known to combat aging, protect the cells from free radicals attacks, and aids in the prevention of debilitating diseases.

There are various foods known to possess antioxidants such as green tea, coffee, and red wine. However, Acai Berries were discovered to have levels of antioxidants much higher than grapes or red wine. These berries have antioxidants 10 times further than red grapes and 30 times more than red wine.

People who have always had weight problems will appreciate the amazing results of Acai on immediate and effective weight loss. Loaded with healthy fats such as monounsaturated fats, as well as a healthy dose of dietary fiber, Acai Berries provide better cardiovascular health and a more stable digestive system.

Positive Acai Berry Reviews

In order to make Acai Berries more accessible to everyone, this super food is processed into weight loss pills and dietary supplements, while retaining its health benefits. Since most diet pills made from Acai have the necessary amino acids and fatty acids, these supplements are ideal for everyday consumption. Acai Berry products provide added energy while promoting effective weight loss. These supplements have been tested for 14 days and have shown amazing results.

The first Acai product tested was the Acai Berry Power 500. Already featured on the Rachel Ray Show, the Acai Berry Power 500 is sold in the form of easy-to-ingest pills and was found to be effective in both weight loss and in providing added energy. Those who tried the Free Acai Berries supplement, as included in the 14-day trial package, found that the Acai Berry 500 enhances metabolism and diminishes constipation and other digestive problems, with visible results in as early as one week.

Another Acai product tested was the Acai Berry Supreme, which also helped the trial testers in their metabolism and weight loss concerns. Although not as potent as the Acai Berry Power 500, the Acai Berry Supreme is still an effective weight loss pill, achieving results through the elimination of toxic wastes from the body. Test statistics have it that within a mere 7 days, you could potentially lose anywhere between 3 and 7 pounds of excess weight.

Apart from effective weight loss, Acai Berry Pills also offer other health benefits. These pills also enhance the smoothness and clearness of the skin, as a result of the flushing out of harmful toxins from the body. With the abundant antioxidants in Acai berries, cell damage is further prevented. Mental benefits can also be derived from Acai Berry supplements. Those who have tested this product reported a boost in mental focus and concentration.

How you can get Free Acai Berries

If you are curious about what Acai Berries can really do to your health but don’t want to risk your money, you can choose the 14-day trial period provided for by most Acai Berry supplement manufacturers. You will be getting the trial pills for free and you only have to pay $1 for shipping costs. Both the Acai Berry 500 and Acai Berry Supreme offer the tempting 14-day trial offer, so you can see for yourself what Acai Berry aficionados are raving about. With free Acai Berries, you won’t be risking anything, only getting the health and weight loss benefits offered by this effective super food.

The Cancer-fighting compounds in Acai Berries

Beyond the typical weight loss and physical energy boost results of supplements; Acai Berries were also discovered to be effective in the fight against the Big C or cancer. According to a University of Florida study, cultured human cells were destroyed by the antioxidants present in the Acai Berry.

Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor at the University, stated that the berries’ antioxidants destroyed up to 86% of the leukemia cells being tested. The chemical extracts from the berries were set up in various concentrations. Majority of the concentrations were able to destroy a remarkable percentage of the leukemia cells, with not less than 35% of the cells destroyed by the antioxidants.

In the world of medical research, Acai Berries are already considered to be among the highest sources of antioxidants.

Libido Benefits of the Acai Berry

In Brazil, the Acai Berry is considered to be the Viagra from the Amazon. Brazilian natives, who have been consuming the Acai Berry for years, have attested to the ability of the berries to increase energy levels and boost stamina. Although tests are yet to be done on the potency of the Acai in the treatment of decreased libido, there are already doctors recommending this powerful berry for couples wanting to conceive.

Healthy Lifestyle and a dose of Acai Berries

In order to obtain the best results from the Acai Berries, a healthy lifestyle needs to be adopted. Weight loss results from the Acai will be more effective and long-standing if consumers also maintain a health diet of complex carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables. Moreover, you can successfully ward off any further instances of weight gain if you also maintain a daily or regular exercise routine.

Acai Berries are full of iron, amino acids, healthy fats, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. From weight loss to disease prevention, and from mental alertness to increased energy levels, the potency of the Acai Berry still astounds scientists and medical professionals up to this day. Although further tests are still to be done, the positive results from various Acai Berries pills and supplements are a testament to the fact that this super food is here to stay.

Innovative Sperm Bank Offers Donor Video and Pictures

October 22nd, 2008

Fertility Cryobank is First in the World to Offer Video and Pictures of Sperm Donors

Los Angeles, Calif., October 16, 2008 – Gail Taylor, President, today announced the launch of Fertility Cryobank, the world’s first sperm bank to offer donor video interviews. Fertility Cryobank is one of the few sperm banks in the country to provide recent photos and a comprehensive genetic evaluation for each donor. It is the only sperm bank in the world to provide videos of every donor, as well as rigorous psychological and IQ testing.

“Fertility Cryobank was created to give future parents the power of choice,” said Taylor. “The concept behind the company is that we couldn’t imagine choosing a sperm donor without a comprehensive profile that includes both pictures and video. Our sperm donor profiles bring the potential contribution made by each sperm donor to life and provide invaluable information for the future children.”

While the company incorporates rigorous medical standards, Fertility Cryobank sits outside the industry paradigm with a client-centric approach. Its founders have structured the donor selection process as an innovative, interactive experience. Through Internet technology, Fertility Cryobank has made it accessible for any individual or couple to choose a donor in the privacy of their own home, with complete information available at their fingertips.

“Our database is driven by advanced Internet technologies, which has made developing our unique program possible,” said Taylor. “From the day a potential sperm donor submits an online application, their appointments, test results and samples are tracked through a documented process of screening, donating, quarantine, purchase and shipment. Each step is securely safeguarded, monitored, evaluated and validated by our secure, state-of-the art, Web-based system.”

“As the mother of two children created through the assistance of sperm donation, I am thrilled that our company will help clients make this process personal, comfortable, safe and easy,” Taylor adds. “With our program’s assistance, parents can see, choose and be empowered during the very personal process of sperm donor selection.”

New website launched that provides guidance and solutions for heart health vitality

August 30th, 2008

Heart Health Resources will guide you through the many different factors that affect the health and vitality of your heart and body.

James McCreary, the owner of the site, provides useful information related to the human body with helpful resources to address declining health. Educating people about heart health and suggesting solutions to improve their health is the service provided by the site.

Coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries that carry blood to the heart. As the artery walls thicken, the passageway for blood narrows. Sometimes platelets gather at the narrowing, forming a clot that decreases or prevents blood flow to the region of the heart supplied by the artery. Heart Health Resources provides detailed information on the issues pertaining to the heart and circulation and suggests suitable measures to tackle the problems of heart disease and poor circulation.

Coronary heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, both men and women. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a major cause of some serious disabilities. Healthy eating habits can help to reduce heart risks but it is equally important to know other ways that can help you to improve the condition of your heart.

Your heart beats 100,000 times a day—that’s more than 36 million times a year. The more knowledge you have about heart disease and suggestions of how to avoid or correct it, the better your chances are of having a healthy heart.

Growing Generations Announces Surrogacy Program for Men with HIV

May 19th, 2008

Los Angeles, Calif., May 13, 2008 – Growing Generations, the nation’s largest surrogacy agency, has launched a new program that provides surrogacy and egg donation services to men with HIV and allows them to use their own sperm to create biological families.

The new program is made possible due to advances in technology that can test semen for the virus as well as the implementation of recent California legislation enacted in January that provides the opportunity to use semen from someone with HIV for assisted reproduction. The company already has five cases of men with HIV working with egg donors and surrogates, and expects the number to grow as more people become aware of the availability of the service.

“We are pleased that science and legislation have come together to provide a safe and reasonable approach on this issue,” Growing Generations President Gail Taylor said. “As we have been since our founding in 1996, we are committed to assisting individuals who have not always been embraced by the mainstream in creating loving homes for very wanted children. This includes gay men, single parents and now people with HIV.”

Participants in Growing Generations’ new program go through the same process as other clients with the addition of an extensive screening and preparation process for the sperm. Many men with HIV show no material trace of the virus in their semen.

“We have known for many years that with proper medication and care, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives,” Taylor added. “Now, they can also make what is the ultimate life choice for many people and create their own biologically connected family.”

First ‘citizen therapy’ social network, Big White Wall, tackles global mental health

April 21st, 2008

‘Citizen Therapy’ website, Big White Wall (bigwhitewall.com), is the first emotional health network where people can express themselves anonymously without fear of being judged or stigmatised. Big White Wall empowers individuals from all over the world to reach out and share support with their online neighbours.

Big White Wall users express their secrets, fears or deeper concerns on a brick on The Wall by uploading images, drawing or writing. The brick is then posted alongside thousands of others on The Wall, each of which represents one unit of human emotion. The range of topics posted so far is vast, from self harm and depression, to family issues and relationship problems; all of which can lead to mental health problems if not addressed.

Big White Wall offers peer support, or ‘citizen therapy’, as users interact with each other by commenting on bricks, offering views and encouragement in the Talkabout forum or through using one-to-one private messaging.

At a time when emotional health is fast being recognized as a global issue with anxiety and depression are set to become the second largest health problem by 2020, with economic recession beckoning, and with increasing doubt about the value of medication as an adequate response to poor mental health, Big White Wall offers a life-enhancing space for those who need a place to express what is really on their mind. As one of the users recently commented:

‘I am very new in here, finding my way to the wall is my last attempt to keep fighting. I find everything so difficult to bear at the moment, but this commu
