&lt;p&gt;Steps2Give Launch – April 1, 2010 – Join Them For A Virtual Tour of the Far East&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aurora, Ontario (PRWEB) January 12, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Steps2Give is a corporate wellness program produced by HR. com that challenges participants to walk 10,000 steps a day over the course of each 100-day program. The program was developed to help employers and communities address the huge toll that obesity has taken as the single-biggest cause of preventable, lifestyle-related chronic diseases – currently estimated to cost U. S. private employers $45 billion per year in medical expenses and work loss.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to the American Heart Association, every $1 a corporation puts into health and wellness initiatives saves $4-$16 per employee in reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity. Forward-thinking organizations are taking a preventative approach to wellness by providing employees with the tools and incentives needed to adopt healthier lifestyles.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Camaraderie and overall fun is what sets Steps2Give apart from other wellness initiatives. Participants in the Steps2Give program walk in teams of 5 and can challenge others to log the most steps or lose the most weight. Corporations with an annual fundraising initiative can also use the program to increase pledges and track contributions.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Participants log in to the secure Steps2Give site daily to record their steps and get health tips. Actual steps entered are converted into a virtual walking tour of the world. Walkers can see the global impact their daily steps have as they travel to the next new city, town, or country in their online journey. The site has a strong social networking integration to enable participants to share their success stories, send postcards, and challenge others. Also included are a health-risk assessment program, daily health, exercise and nutrition tips, and just-in-time coaching and advice. Steps2Give is a multi-faceted, comprehensive program that provides companies with the tools they need to create employee engagement and ultimately build healthier, more productive workplaces.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In 2010, there will be two 100-day challenges: &lt;br/&gt;
April 1 – July 8, 2010 – Virtual Tour of the Far East September 1 – December 9, 2010 – Virtual Tour of the Old World 100% of pledges raised by participants as well as a percentage of their registration fees will be donated to the following charities: in Canada Steps2Give supports the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, and the Canadian Diabetes Association; in the U. S. Steps2Give supports the American Diabetes Association and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure&amp;#174; foundations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pisane, a new non genetically modified (GMO) pea protein isolate has one of the highest solubility levels of any vegetable protein&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Montville, NJ (PRWEB) October 26, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pisane, a new non genetically modified (GMO) pea protein isolate has one of the highest solubility levels of any vegetable protein now available according to its supplier A&amp;B Ingredients, Fairfield, NJ. A&amp;B Ingredients, a leading solutions supplier of rice-based products and value-added ingredients, notes that because of its high solubility profile Pisane is particularly well suited for ready to drink and nutritional beverages, weight control and sport food products.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Pisane is designed for use as a single source or in combination with other protein sources in a wide array of food and beverage products," states Gil Bakal, A&amp;B Ingredients Managing Director.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to A&amp;B Ingredients, Pisane has an 80% solubility level at neutral pH and contains 88% to 90% protein. Pisane is also highly digestible (98%), gluten free and exhibits low allergens. &lt;br/&gt;
In making the announcement, Bakal said, "Pea protein is an exceptionally viable alternative protein source that can have a profound influence on the formulation of ready to drink health beverages, as well as weight conscious food and diets based on a low glycaemic index (GI) and high protein intake." &lt;br/&gt;
He further stated that pea protein will not impact color, taste or texture of the finished product.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Among the benefits of Pisane pea proteins are: &lt;br/&gt;
&amp;nbsp;High levels of Lysine and Arginine amino acids &amp;nbsp;Non-dairy &amp;nbsp;Lactose-free &amp;nbsp;Kosher and Halal certified&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Founded in 1990, A&amp;B Ingredients is a leading solutions supplier of rice-based products, tropical fruit extracts, organic ingredients, antioxidants and antimicrobials for the food industry.

&lt;p&gt;SmartShopIt. com releases its Smart Compare feature that provides valuable nutrition and price comparisons for grocery products nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) September 3, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SmartShopIt. com is a free site that helps its members eat healthier, shop more effectively and save money at the grocery store. They have incorporated a new Smart Compare feature which helps their members by allowing them to easily and quickly compare grocery products. The Smart Compare feature leverages its database of price, nutritional information and ratings on over 90,000 products. The Smart Compare tool can be accessed on the desktop and mobile web device interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Home grocery delivery and Internet shopping hasn't grown like online purchases of travel, books and electronics. As such, consumers still go to the brick and mortar store every week hunting for the best products and value for their dollars. They desire tools to make this process easier as well as to help them shop smarter. "To exemplify this, think of how many times you find yourself at the grocery store, staring at a rack of products and wondering which one is the best to buy today?, " asks SmartShopIt founder Trent Wong. "Sometimes you call someone to ask their opinion but more often than not, you just grab what you think is the best."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In SmartShopIt. com, you can search for a specific product or category of products. Then by clicking on the Smart Compare icon, this new tool will provide comparison information with other similar products on nutritional values such as calories, cholesterol, sodium, fiber, and trans fats. In addition, you can also compare products on price and most importantly best value (best cost per unit of measurement). Lastly, you can also sort the comparison on member ratings to see which products other members prefer.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;With families looking for effective ways to eat healthier and also reduce their grocery costs, this new feature helps immensely. The user can compare a large quantity of products on their desktop before heading to the store. "We know that most trips to the store are spontaneous and people don't have the time or motivation to plan", says Shijun Liu, SmartShopIt. com's Product Manager. "So we have also made this feature available free on their mobile web device so shoppers can access this tool while in the store shopping."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"We all want the satisfaction that we've done our best to make the smartest buying decisions which take into account the store we are shopping at, the products available and the current prices for those products." Wong continues; "Everyone would all like to have the time to be experts at shopping, but that not realistic. With all of the features of SmartShopIt. com, we can help our members to shop more effectively."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;SmartShopIt. com has provided a Quick Tour for people to get an idea of how this, along with various other features of the product work. The Quick Tour can be found on their home page at SmartShopIt. com (http://www. SmartShopIt. com).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Will use The Financial Edge to manage accounting, and enhance grant tracking, reporting and analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Charleston, SC (Vocus) October 2, 2007&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Blackbaud, Inc. (http://www. blackbaud. com/) (NASDAQ: BLKB), announced today that the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed) and the Veterans Medical Research Foundation (VMRF) will use the company’s financial management (http://www. blackbaud. com/products/financial/financialedge. aspx) solution to streamline their complex operations. These are just two recent additions to a growing number of medical research organizations including the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation, the MUSC Foundation for Research Development, and the Georgia State University Research Foundation that use Blackbaud solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;With a focus on biomedical research, training and service, LA BioMed is one of the largest independent nonprofit biomedical research enterprises in the country. With nearly 1000 research projects and clinical trials underway at any time and an annual budget of more than $75 million, the research institute needed a system with which its staff could efficiently track activities, but one that would also integrate with its existing systems to automate and streamline accounting and budget management (http://www. blackbaud. com/products/financial/budgeting. aspx) processes.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“We chose to partner with Blackbaud not only for the company’s experience in serving medical research organizations, but more importantly for its ability to improve our operations on all levels, enabling us to focus on our mission of improving the future of healthcare,” said Frank Nguyen, LA BioMed’s assistant controller. “With this increased financial visibility, we will also be able to build a stronger case for support.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;LA BioMed selected The Financial Edge (https://http://www. blackbaud. com/profile/register. aspx? fid=campfm&amp;cc=INT_FE_DemoDL) (combined with the Unitime timekeeping module) to generate new levels of reporting and financial/budget analysis, provide an automated payroll system, and enhance allocation of funding and tracking of financial and personnel resources. With 40 concurrent users, The Financial Edge will help staff reduce duplicated efforts and will allow for real time data entry and assessment.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“As the funding environment continually becomes more competitive, the demand for increased accountability (http://www. blackbaud. com/products/financial/beaccountable. aspx) rises as well,” said Lou Attanasi, Blackbaud’s senior vice president of products. “Adding to that the intricate nature of operations at medical research organizations, and you have a very complex accounting scenario from tracking time spent on projects to analyzing how grant funds were spent. By relying on a solution that was designed for nonprofits with specific tracking functionality and one that can integrate with existing systems, these organizations are proactively positioning themselves for growth.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Veterans Medical Research Foundation will also use The Financial Edge to support its mission of promoting biomedical and health services research. VMRF is the nation’s second largest of 85 active VA Foundations with an annual budget approaching $30 million and a staff of more than 200 employees.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;VMRF currently works with about 110 principal investigators, assisting them with the administration of close to 200 active studies which seek to improve the lives of the nation's veterans as they deal with a wide range of physical and mental health issues. VMRF had outgrown its previous accounting software (http://www. blackbaud. com/products/financial/finance_overview. aspx) and needed to quickly implement an integrated financial solution for tracking projects (grants, contracts, and clinical trials).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“We needed a robust system that could empower our VA investigators with up to date information that is relevant to their specific research projects and grants,” said Bob Millington, VMRF’s &lt;br/&gt;
Director of information technology. “After an exhaustive search, Blackbaud was the preferred provider to supply a robust seamless grant-to-project tracking (http://www. blackbaud. com/products/financial/management. aspx), payroll and budgeting system. Our implementation timeline was very aggressive and I am pleased to say that Blackbaud continues to exceed our expectations on all angles.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New flavor of ALLWHEY Whey Protein Powder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) May 8, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking for an economical way to increase your protein intake that actually tastes great? ALLWHEY whey protein from ALLMAX Nutrition just might be the solution to your protein dilemma.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;ALLWHEY is a whey protein that delivers 100% whey protein per serving, which is made possible through a new extraction technology, called NitriCore™. NitriCore is a new 3-Stage extended protein delivery system that ensures 100% whey protein is extracted to deliver a high-quality source of whey protein per serving.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;ALLWHEY provides 25 grams of protein per 33g scoop which is delivered via a Tri-Stage Whey Protein Matrix. Additionally, it is a 100% complete protein, meaning that it contains 100% of all Branched Chain Amino Acids and 100% of all Essential Amino Acids. Additionally, ALLMAX exclusively sources protein from 3 of the purest and cleanest protein producers on the planet; U. S.A., Canada and New Zealand.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;ALLWHEY is also enhanced with OmegaEFA (a source of highly stable essential fatty acids) as well as Tri-Blend protein digestive enzymes that help with assimilation and absorption of Whey Protein Peptides and amino acids. As a protein powder ALLWHEY is fully instantized and mixes easily and conveniently in water, with no clumping. ALLWHEY contains reduced lactose (milk sugar) content, making it an ideal choice for those who are lactose sensitive.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Lastly but certainly not least, ALLWHEY tastes incredible. The testimonials below provide a sense of ALLWHEY's undeniably delicious and unique flavoring system.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Taste Testimonials &lt;br/&gt;
"I've been taking protein for a long time and it's not often that a flavor comes along that really floors you. The new Butterscotch Maple Fudge flavor of ALLWHEY tastes absolutely unbelievable. It has a smooth creamy taste with a rich flavor that reminds you of the best ice cream you've ever had. There is no bitterness or any aftertaste, which is common to other protein powders. When shaken it has an overall frothy texture that is just like a whipped milkshake." &lt;br/&gt;
Jason Bell, Director of Marketing, Bodybuilder and MMA fanatic&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I have never tasted a better protein shake in my life than the Butterscotch Maple Fudge ALLWHEY, from ALLMAX. Absolutely outstanding, mouth-watering and head-shakingly good. With 25 grams of the highest quality protein from only the purest and cleanest sources on the planet, this is truly a top-notch protein and I recommend it without hesitation or reservation. Furthermore, the additional compounds put in this product are actually there to further benefit and enhance absorption. Honestly, adding an omega EFA compound will not only help digest your protein it can actually improve your health and it's a bold step. It drives up the cost of the manufacturing and this is why it's not an everyday occurrence with other companies. The outstanding addition of Lactase, Bromelain and Protease is simply showing off. This is not put in for "sizzle" - It actually works, will help with digestion and may help with GI distress and it's VERY surprising most other companies don't do it! When it comes to protein, "ALLMAX" seems to be the "All-Knowing" &lt;br/&gt;
Jamie Nuggett, Avid Protein Shake Connoisseur and Strength and Conditioning Coach&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"This is hands down the best protein on the planet! I simply can't get enough of this flavor. From the moment you open the container a pleasant flavor erupts. And the taste, well, it can't be beat. But the texture is impeccable and it mixes extremely easily. This is a flavor I would never tire of." &lt;br/&gt;
Steve Brown, VP of Operations, Bodybuilder&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"One sip and I was hooked. I actually crave this stuff and can't wait for my next shake - no joke! The consistency is creamy and smooth. The aftertaste is sweet. The taste is reminiscent of a Butterscotch ice cream cone. What a nice variation to some of the other flavors in the market. This is the one protein shake that I can't get enough of. It tastes great simply with water. For just 130 calories, only 3g of sugar and 25g of whey protein per serving, you can't make a better protein source for your body and your taste buds!" - Kristine Hughes, Online Marketing Manager, Marathon Runner&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Why ALLWHEY? &lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No Body Overeats Real Food&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) November 14, 2002&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality Rules Quantity:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Better Food = Less Eating&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;November 19, 2002, Altadena, California - As portions have expanded, nutritional content has tanked. We keep eating more because there is less in it. The cravings you feel are for REAL food, not for more mere packing material. Quit counting calories, concentrate on quality and right quantity is a done deal. With all those who are overweight, the rising number of anorexics (now many men) and those who are at the right weight but with red flag cholesterol, there are very few folks eating in peace. The notion that humans can thrive by eating FOOD on planet Earth - without an exotic new pill - requires some rearranging in the dining room of our minds.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Fast food and convenient packaging have us thinking if it tastes good it&amp;#194;s bad for us, and if it&amp;#194;s healthy it tastes yucky. Transported unripe fruit, frozen, canned or cafeteria servings of remains of what was once a vegetable is responsible for food fallacies. Here&amp;#194;s new un-common knowledge: real, healthy food not only tastes better than engineered flavored fluff, you CAN get satisfaction &amp;#194; something unavailable in any quantity of empty food.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;After a decade of studying what works in the long range, (98% of those who do manage to lose weight on any diet gain it all and often more in 2 years) Susan Ottevanger, author of Running On Premium Fuel spells out why &amp;#194;just eat less and move more&amp;#194; (first told to her by a plump doctor) and the Dietician&amp;#194;s Dogma of &amp;#194;everything in moderation&amp;#194; meet with resounding failure. Registered Dieticians have been saying sugar addiction is impossible, a myth, and it&amp;#194;s okay to have one cookie. Earth to RD&amp;#194;s &amp;#194; if that&amp;#194;s the ticket to health, there wouldn&amp;#194;t be an epidemic of overweight and diabetes. That there was no diabetes before refined sugar should be a clue that there is more to it than empty calories and cavities. All bets are that you can&amp;#194;t eat just one.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;Nobody overeats fresh fruits or vegetables. Measuring out restricted portions of produce is ridiculous, yet I hear R. D.&amp;#194;s telling frustrated clients that they&amp;#194;re not losing weight because they are snacking on too many baby carrots. Who can eat pounds of carrots a day? Who can do that and have a weight problem? No Body on Planet Diet. The problem is going from overeating to not eating enough of anything for the body to feel safe at burning what&amp;#194;s stored. Dieters stop losing, try eating less, workout more and get told they must be miscalculating, because 3,500 calories always equals a pound of fat, period. Not so! Stress has lowered metabolism into a &amp;#194;famine mode&amp;#194; that blows all the old equations away. Dieters keep checking their math, wonder if they are doing donuts in their sleep, start to suspect a mysterious disease, then give up.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Scary are those trying to lose fat and/or make muscle mass by devouring loads of meat. The body can only use a small bit of it, and the excess does NOT just leave quietly. Kidney stones start forming in 6 weeks. High protein dieters keep on eating huge quantities of food because they are not getting what they need &amp;#194; the goodies in quality carbs. White flour is a problem, not whole grains, plus eating what you can&amp;#194;t digest efficiently will make you overeat or turn you off to food. Blaming carbs is short sited. What &amp;#194;works&amp;#194; with high protein diets is you stop eating meat, which is digested with acids, with potatoes, which is digested by alkalis. Just let them take turns and bingo! There goes the heartburn as well.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All parents should read this article! New study showing Ritalin permanently adversly alters brain function in rats as they grow older, leading to depression and changes in behavior.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) December 11, 2003&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Animal findings now show that Ritalin permanently adversely alters the brain function of rats as they grow older, leading to increased depressive behavior and alterations of behavior. The study appears in the Dec. 15, 2003 issue of Biological Psychiatry.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;This study sounds alarms regarding the widespread use of Ritalin among children. It raises serious questions about the long-term health problems that are likely to occur by stimulating the nervous system for short-term behavioral improvement.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Expert nutritionist and leading leptin researcher, Byron Richards, CCN, first warned of this danger in his recent book, "Mastering Leptin" (Wellness Resources Books, 2003). He explains the new breakthroughs in biochemistry that help us understand how stimulants damage brain cells. Stimulants depress the brain&amp;#194;s leptin levels, directly exposing brain cells to damage. This leads to stimulant induced anxiety, depression, and addictive behavior. Richards also explains how stimulants damage the NMDA receptor, the key receptor that is malfunctioning in Parkinson&amp;#194;s disease.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Richards states, &amp;#194;This information raises questions about the safety of Ritalin given to an overweight child. Since an overweight child has leptin resistance, and thus less leptin in the brain, their brains are more susceptible to damage not only from environmental toxins but also from any ingested amphetamine.&amp;#194;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;These new animal studies confirm the serious risk of permanent long-term damage from Ritalin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new science of Food Psychology Coaching is said to offer the real solution to obesity and eating disorders. The Spencer Institute for Life Coaching offers new training program for coaches, fitness trainers, dietitians and psychologists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (PRWEB) June 17, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An effective method of dealing with American obesity and health struggles may have arrived. It's no secret that Americans are getting fatter and have more challenges with eating than ever before. The emergence of the food psychology coaching field could be the answer. According to Dr. John Spencer Ellis, CEO of the Spencer Institute for Life Coaching and Marc David, a leading researcher and pioneer in the field of food psychology, weight issues go far beyond just "what" we eat. It's more about "who" we are as eaters. Because of these findings, John and Marc joined forced to make a difference with the development of the Food Psychology Coach Certification program. This comprehensive training course is designed for fitness professionals, nutritionists, dietitians, life coaches and psychology professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Medical science has finally recognized the important role of diet in optimal health and disease prevention. Yet something is missing. Obesity, overeating, pain around body image, emotional challenges with food, digestive ailments, fatigue and nutrition-linked metabolic disorders are with us more than ever. Clearly, our collective approach to nutritional health and happiness isn't working. It's time for a new way of seeing things," says Marc David.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Although most people are not aware of the following, science shows it's true: Our nutritional metabolism is profoundly affected by our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. It's directly impacted by our level of stress or relaxation during meals. It's elevated by the amount of pleasure we receive with eating. It's even energized when we have compassion for our fears about weight and body image," adds Dr. Ellis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We all know that childrens school dinners need to be imporved upon but just how harmful are they?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) October 28, 2005&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dax Moy, one of the UK’s most respected health and fitness experts spoke out today against the poor quality of foods offered to school children, branding them “Poisons of the worst possible kind”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The statement supports the high profile campaigns being run by the Soil Association and TV Chef Jamie Oliver though adding a more technical element into the mix.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Most of what crosses the plates of the average child in Britain today is an outright disgrace” Explains Dax Moy who, voted as one of the UK’s top 10 Fitness Experts.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Essentially, it could be considered ‘non-food’ in that it often costs more in nutritional reserves from your body than it actually supplies. Just look at the packaging of the ingredients of the average school meal and it’s easy to see why more and more of our children are becoming obese, suffering from asthma, diabetes and other ‘adult related’ illness’.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The sheer number of chemical additives, preservatives and chemically engineered ‘enrichment’ processes in evidence now mean that our children are consuming some 10,000 to 15,000 chemical per day!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In order to safeguard the health of our children, parents and schools need to work together to create a ‘Supportive nutrition’ paradigm. A new way of thinking about the food and its role in the maintenance of health is required if we are ever to achieve the life-long disease free lives we aspire to.” Says Moy, who has four children of his own.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Supportive Nutrition builds upon our old concepts of ‘Healthy Eating’ with a few new ‘rules’ that reflect the changes that modern processing has brought to our food-chain:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;If a label has more than a few unpronounceable words on it then don’t let your kids (or adults) eat what’s inside. Its likely that these chemical cocktails will ‘stress out’ your child’s body, creating a potentially ‘toxic environment’.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;If you can let it sit on the shelf or in a tin for an extended period then you’ll find it’s full of chemicals to keep it ‘fresh’. Basically this is a ‘non-food’ item and should be avoided.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Genetic Modification encompasses nearly all processed food available today. Even if not directly modified prior to growing, these foods are nonetheless not the same as their ‘natural’ counterparts. If they were then they too would decay at the same rate. “&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“It’s like the old adage we’ve all been taught time and again ‘you are what you eat’ and this is true in the most literal of senses. I’m sure that most parents wouldn’t deliberately allow their children to take drugs or ingest poisons and yet without knowing it that is exactly what they do every day! ”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Garden Diet eBook Sales Increase as Raw-Vegan Food Movement Enters Mainstream. Raw food is reaching critical mass and is moving from the fringe to the mainstream via numerous retreats, restaurants and books. The most recent addition is especially notable. Roxanne's, a four month old 5 star restaurant in the Bay Area is attracting the attention of top chefs around the world for its all-raw haute cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) May 13, 2002&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Ekaya Institute's Center For Living Food Education - 5/13/02, Los Angeles, CA.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Garden Diet eBook Sales Increase as Raw-Vegan Food Movement Enters Mainstream.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to John Robbins, there is a "Food Revolution" taking place. The major movement within this food revolution is a rapidly growing health trend known as the raw-vegan diet. The raw-vegan diet is similar to the vegan diet (a diet that excludes meat and dairy) and ads the additional caveat that all food should be eaten raw. The raw vegan diet consists of fruits, vegetables, sprouted grains and legumes, seeds and nuts. Raw vegan food is considered healthy because of its living enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes, all of which are destroyed at 118 degrees of heat, leaving cooked food with very little nutritional value. Eating cooked food is therefore thought to lead to excessive food consumption in the body's attempt to gain adequate nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to Jinjee Talifero, co-author of 'The Garden Diet' "Not only does cooked food contain extremely limited nourishment, but it also contains numerous toxins. Scientists in Sweden recently discovered that heated carbohydrates contain a known carcinogenic toxin which renders water to be classified unfit for drinking when it appears in water in far smaller quantities".&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The raw-vegan movement has been gaining momentum rapidly since 1995 via websites and email newsletters published by raw food authors such as Gerald (Nutman) Talifero at&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Http://www. thegardendiet. com (http://www. thegardendiet. com) and David Wolfe at http://www. rawfood. com (http://www. rawfood. com) &lt;br/&gt;
And educators such as Nomi Shannon at http://www. rawgourmet. com (http://www. rawgourmet. com) &lt;br/&gt;
And Paul Nison at http://www. rawlife. com (http://www. rawlife. com) as well as literally hundreds of others including doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths and ordinary people who have become passionate about sharing the knowledge that helped them lose weight, heal or prevent illnesses, and feel younger and more energetic. Raw-veganism has also been called "sustainable eating" and is entering into environmental conversations and simplicity circles as the way to eat to save the planet.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Raw food is reaching critical mass and is moving from the fringe to the mainstream via numerous retreats (see http://www. thegardendiet. com/retreats (http://www. thegardendiet. com/retreats) for listings), restaurants (see http://www. thegardendiet. com/restaurants (http://www. thegardendiet. com/restaurants) for a raw eatery near you), and books (see&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;http://www. thegardendiet. com/books (http://www. thegardendiet. com/books) to order online). The most recent addition is especially notable. Roxanne's, a four month old 5 star restaurant in the Bay Area is attracting the attention of top chefs around the world for its all-raw haute cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Articles about raw food have appeared recently in USA Today and Women's World, as well as the San Francisco Chronicle, praising Roxanne's. Celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Robin Williams, and Bryan Adams have all been seen in raw food restaurants and some are known to be full-time raw-vegans.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In a world where doctors receive four hours of training in nutrition during their entire education, it is no wonder people are taking responsibility for educating themselves about diet and nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We live in a culture that is literally built around cooked food, which makes the social implications of "going raw" full of challenges. However the alternative is at least equally frought with difficulty. A recent episode of "Investigative Report" on A&amp;E called "The Supersize Generation" relayed that one in three children and half of all adults North America are overweight. One expert on this special commented on our need for instant meals, the proliferation of junk food outlets and the ever-present temptation of processed foods, saying: "In order to make wise food choices in this society, you almost have to be a fanatic".&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, being fanatical can also be a lot of fun!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Advance orders are now being accepted for the April, 2011 release of 8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness, the new book designed to provide women with a detoxification roadmap for removing toxins and preventing disease.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Petaluma, CA (PRWEB) January 4, 2011&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In her soon to be released book, Dr. Marianne Marchese says that chemicals found in cosmetics, cleaning, and personal care products are making women sick and she teaches women how to reduce their exposure and remove these toxic chemicals from the body through a simple at home detox program.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;8 Weeks to Women's Wellness describes the various ways women are exposed to chemicals in their everyday lives and how they are linked to 10 common women’s health problems, including breast cancer, endometriosis, infertility, and osteoporosis. The book educates women on how to avoid these chemicals and provides healthy alternatives to cosmetics, soaps, and other personal care products.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo, author of the best selling book, Eat Right 4 Your Type says this book hits the mark:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Dr. Marchese has written a reliable and informative guide to the complex science that links environmental toxicity to the well-being of all women. It is a beautifully written work, practical and approachable, which also does a terrific job of synthesizing all the latest thinking on topic. 8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness is a book that both awakens and teaches.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;And Tori Hudson, N. D., author of the Women’s Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, 2nd ed. is pleased to recommend Dr. Marchese’s book:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness is the first book I’ve seen that attends to women’s health and detoxification and gives women the knowledge and tools to create a plan for detoxification and a strategy towards health. Based on the research to date, Dr. Marchese’s book offers reliable information and sound advice.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In the foreword to the book, Dr. Walter J. Crinnion, Department Chair Environmental Medicine, Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, makes the following plea:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“The importance of (reducing toxic burden) for young women who are preparing to become pregnant cannot be over-emphasized. Please give copies of this book to all the young women you know who want to have the healthiest children possible. You will be doing them a huge favor, as Dr. Marchese has done for all of us by providing this important and extremely helpful book.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thousands of American Veterans who served in the last Guilf War suffered from an array of symptoms known as Gulf War Syndrome. Two of every five Gulf War Vets are on disability costing the country millions of dollars. Now we have another generation of service men and women who have been in a similar environment. Will we be seeing Gulf War Syndrome again and what will the real cost of this war be? What can be done for these returning troops? A best selling book has some answers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) April 23, 2003&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Gulf War Syndrome Again?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Los Angeles, CA--&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;With our troops starting to return home is America headed for another bout of Gulf War Syndrome? Although only 148 were killed and 467 wounded in the first Gulf War, ten years later we have almost two out of every five Gulf War Veterans on disability, costing the country millions of dollars.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Colonel Bob Wolfertz, a twenty-two-year veteran of the military, saw active duty in the first Gulf War. He is one of about 80,000 Gulf War veterans who experienced afflictions such as headaches, memory loss, fatigue, sleep disorders and intestinal and respiratory ailments, which have come to be known as Gulf War Syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Now his son is now serving in the military. He has concerns about what chemicals, toxins and depleted uranium (DU) weapons our soldiers may have been exposed to this time.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;During the first Gulf War, American and British forces introduced armor-piercing ammunition made of depleted uranium, a radioactive and toxic waste. By war's end, more than 290,000 kilograms (640,000 pounds) of depleted uranium contaminated equipment and the soil on the battlefields.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Colonel Wolfertz believes that the use of depleted uranium weapons was one cause of his illness - and these weapons were used again in this war, even though the UN has declared them illegal.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Research studies and medical care for veterans with gulf War syndrome have already cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Though additional research is needed, it now appears that some veterans and civilians exposed to depleted uranium contamination are suffering health problems including kidney damage and cancers.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Apart from the depleted uranium weapons U. S. service members in the first Gulf War were exposed to burning oilfields, pesticides, vaccines and chemical warfare agents.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Now we have another generation of soldiers facing a potentially similar situation in Iraq. DU contaminates land, causes ill-health and cancers among the soldiers using the weapons, the armies they target and civilians.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I&amp;#194;m proud of my son&amp;#194;s willingness to serve, but I&amp;#194;m concerned for him--as I am for all service people--and the threat they face today,&amp;#194; says Wolfertz. &amp;#194;I was proud to fight for freedom in the last war, but it is a very different experience watching your son go to war.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;While he was still in Kuwait, Wolfertz began to experience physical problems. &amp;#194;I woke up one morning with a stabbing pain in my lower back,&amp;#194; said Wolfertz. &amp;#194;It wasn&amp;#194;t in my spine, it was kind of off to the left side and it just wouldn&amp;#194;t go away.&amp;#194; Although he received medical care after Desert Storm, Wolfertz found no relief. After some time the symptoms subsided but when he retired from the Marine Corp and moved back to New Hampshire, they started up again.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;I started getting aches in other joints of my body,&amp;#194; said Wolfertz. &amp;#194;The rashes came and went. I got a recurring sty on my eye about every 2 weeks and I started getting really bad headaches, coupled with a lot of fatigue. I had short-term memory loss. I had no idea what was wrong with me--I just thought I was getting old.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Then one night he saw a television program about veterans of the Gulf War suffering from unexplained physical problems. He immediately went into the Veterans Hospital in Manchester and was subsequently diagnosed with Gulf War Illness--but the doctor told him there was no treatment or cure. all they were doing was creating a register of veterans who had the symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;While testifying before the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Illness in 1996, Wolfertz heard about a detoxification program based on the book Clear Body Clear Mind by L. Ron Hubbard. This New York Times bestselling book details a carefully researched program of nutrition, exercise and sauna that releases toxins trapped in the fatty tissues of the body. The clinic in Sacramento where Colonel Wolfertz did the program has done independent research studies with war veterans who have been expoosed to chemical and toxins.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;When I started the program I had the sty in my eye, aches and pains in my body and active rashes,&amp;#194; said Wolfertz. On the second or third day Wolfertz was on the program he noticed a tan-colored stain on his towel. &amp;#194;I thought, 'What in the heck is this?' I changed towels and it appeared again. The junk coming out of my system in my sweat was being deposited on the towel!&amp;#194; On the seventeenth day Wolfertz noticed black ooze coming out of the bottom of his feet.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Once all the toxins had stopped coming out he completed the program feeling symptom free in the short space of less than three weeks. He remains so to this day. &amp;#194;It&amp;#194;s been a real blessing in my life,&amp;#194; said Wolfertz.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Wolfertz has a lot of concern for our returning heroes. But should his son be exposed to any sort of chemicals and toxins and need help, Wolfertz knows what to do. &amp;#194;I feel the program in this book is vital to all those exposed to chemicals and toxins,&amp;#194; says Wolfertz.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Clear Body Clear Mind makes no medical claims and the benefits vary from person to person. The book is available at bookstores everywhere and further information can be found at www. clearbodyclearmind. com.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Current nutritional findings support that Pimp Juice, the energy drink from Superstar Artist Nelly, is a safer alternative compared to its competitors in the energy drink market.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 12, 2004&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nutritional Findings Show Pimp Juice as Safer Alternative to Competing Energy Drinks.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Current nutritional findings support that Pimp Juice, the energy drink from Superstar Artist Nelly, is a safer alternative compared to its competitors in the energy drink market.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Upon announcing the market success of Pimp Juice and its distribution expansion to other countries, Pimp Juice was notified of its nutritional advantages over competing products such as Red Bull. Pimp Juice has predominantly marketed itself as a straight energy drink, although there is a segment in the market place that uses energy drinks as a &amp;#194;mixer&amp;#194; with alcohol. Pimp Juice does not market its beverage as an alcohol mixer or suggest that it be used that way. However, nutritional findings (listed below) suggest that for consumers who use energy drinks as a mixer with alcohol, Pimp Juice is safer than most others. Following are the nutritional findings from Roger E. Adams, Nutritionist and Owner of eatrightfitness:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;1&amp;nbsp;Carbonation speeds the absorption of alcohol. Pimp Juice is not carbonated; hence alcohol absorption will not be facilitated as it is with Red Bull.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;2&amp;nbsp;Drinking alcohol greatly decreases blood glucose levels, so individuals should increase their intake of natural sugars &amp;#194; Pimp Juice has more natural sugars and carbohydrates than Red Bull. The additional carbohydrate in Pimp Juice should help maintain, or at least slow, the decrease of blood glucose levels.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;3&amp;nbsp;Pimp Juice contains 250 mg of d-Ribose. This is a sugar responsible for the creation of the energy compound Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). D-Ribose will help metabolize alcohol similar to other natural sugars. Red Bull has no d-Ribose.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;4&amp;nbsp;Fructose facilitates the breakdown of alcohol. Since Pimp Juice is apple-juice based, fructose concentration is higher than in Red Bull, whose primary carbohydrate is sucrose. Fructose comprises half of the sucrose molecule; however, by having more free fructose, Pimp Juice is a much better facilitator of alcohol metabolism than Red Bull.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;5&amp;nbsp;The need for vitamin C during moderate alcohol consumption is increased. Pimp Juice has 100% of an individual&amp;#194;s RDA for vitamin C. Red Bull contains no vitamin C.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;6&amp;nbsp;Vitamin C also helps metabolize alcohol more efficiently. The 60 mg of vitamin C found in Pimp Juice helps break alcohol down faster, thereby reducing the time it stays in the blood stream.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;7&amp;nbsp;B vitamins help metabolize alcohol more efficiently. Pimp Juice has higher levels of the B vitamins pantothenic acid, and riboflavin than Red Bull.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Adams concludes his findings by remarking, &amp;#194;If an individual is going to choose an energy drink with the least deleterious effects when combined with alcohol, I believe Pimp Juice to be a far superior choice.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In addition to releasing two new albums in September, purchasing a portion of the Carolina Bobcats, and securing his first major motion picture role, Nelly&amp;#194;s energy drink Pimp Juice is reaching success benchmarks within the beverage industry! In its breakthrough quarter, Pimp Juice sold a million units and has been awarded the Peoples&amp;#194; Choice of Best Energy Drink in the respected industry trade, BevNet, as well as being Vibe Magazine&amp;#194;s best energy drink.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Pimp Juice is currently disseminated by 75 distributors in the United States, in 41 states and 125 markets. Complete national distribution is expected by August 2004. The success of Pimp Juice has been so quick that International distributors have requested to sell the 8.4 fluid ounce drink, which contains guarana, d-ribose and taurine as the main energy components. Fillmore Street Brewery reports Pimp Juice is already flying off the shelves in the United Kingdom, the Caribbean Islands, and Mexico, and projects the product to begin distribution in Europe and Asia by the end of Fall 2004.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Fillmore Street&amp;#194;s President, William Wooten, explains, &amp;#194;Nelly and Fillmore Street knew we had developed a unique energy drink with multiple health and energy benefits. After the barrage of fan mail about using pimp juice as a mixer, we decided to investigate the safety aspects of mixing energy drinks with alcohol to determine how our energy drink compares to others in the market. We do not promote the mixing of energy drinks with alcohol, but we&amp;#194;ve found that a sector of the beverage market does participate in consuming this kind of combination. After learning the results of the nutritional report, we wanted our fans and customers to know that pimp juice is a better alternative if one chooses to use energy drinks as a mixer. Fillmore Street pledges to provide more research on the subject for the benefit of our customers and fans.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) February 6, 2005&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The premium branded Hoodia Gordonii supplements manufacturer Advanced Diets UK&amp;#194;, is building on it&amp;#194;s success by launching new products &amp;#194; and in consequence taking on a new name &amp;#194;Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194;&amp;#194;.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;Due to the overwhelming success of our Hoodia Gordonii products, we are expanding our product range, using the latest research to produce in demand 'whole body' natural health supplements.&amp;#194; Said UK wholesaler Vic Carrara.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;The Advanced Diets UK&amp;#194; brand name simply doesn&amp;#194;t reflect our growing product range, so we have decided to adopt the name &amp;#194;Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194;&amp;#194;&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194; (formerly known as Advanced Diets UK&amp;#194;), has established itself as one of the World leaders in producing premium Kalahari Hoodia Gordonii products. You might be unfamiliar with their brand name, but a closely guarded secret is the fact that they supply many of the World's leading Hoodia Labels with their own products.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For centuries Hoodia Gordonii was used by African Bushmen to stave off hunger pangs and increase energy, during long hunting expeditions. More effective than glucose, Hoodia Gordonii sends a signal to the brain fooling it into thinking that the body has eaten sufficiently.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;Feedback from just some of the thousands of people worldwide that have taken our products, is showing people reducing their intake of calories enough to lose up to two pounds a week with ease.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Now firmly established as one of the main suppliers of Hoodia based products, Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194; chemist&amp;#194;s are studying and evaluating the latest health research to produce an exciting new range of products.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;Now that our Hoodia products are firmly established and expanding we are using the latest research to create in demand health supplements to cater for the widest markets possible.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Known by many children in the USA as a &amp;#194;pet&amp;#194;, the Chia plant&amp;#194;s amazing properties as a natural energy booster has been combined with Hoodia to combat the dieter&amp;#194;s dilemma &amp;#194; low energy &amp;#194; in one of the first new products to be launched, Chia Fat Blaster Plus&amp;#194;.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Aztec warriors were said to use Chia to as a high energy 'supplement' on their conquests. The Indians of the south west would eat as little as a teaspoon full when going on a 24hr forced march. It is interesting that 500 years later, modern science has concluded that Pre-Columbian diets were superior to present diets. Forced into obscurity, chia now offer a new opportunity to improve human nutrition by providing a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and dietary fiber.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;You can't turn on a television, pick up a newspaper, or go to a doctor's appointment these days without hearing about high blood pressure. It's a sad fact that, according to the American Heart Association, over two million Americans find out they suffer from high blood pressure; of these, more than 45,000 die annually as a result of the condition.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;This led Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194; to follow research by the US Department of Agriculture, Rutgers University in New Jersey, and recent USDA studies to develop one of the highest potency Blueberry supplements currently available.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;They are such a power packed fruit. Research and studies are indicating that Blueberries can decrease your risk of cancer, help prevent heart disease and stroke by reducing the build up of so-called "bad" cholesterol, guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases, promote urinary tract health, optimize vision health and reversing the causes of blindness &amp;#194; and the list just goes on.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;The main challenge is taking enough of them to see the benefits, which is why we came up with our Blueberry Max supplements. Let&amp;#194;s be honest, we haven&amp;#194;t always the time in the mornings to do and eat all the things we know we should do to stay healthy. That&amp;#194;s why we developed our this product.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Now Pure Herbal Extracts&amp;#194; are on a global march to spread the news, and help establish distributors worldwide for their products. Anyone that wants high quality health products and at the same time enjoy healthy profits, need to have a look at this company.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-- AlignMark engages Experio Solutions to create state of the art HR services portal for all employees --&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) December 7, 2002&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;EXPERIO AND ALIGNMARK BRING LIFEHUBTM ONLINE&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;-- AlignMark engages Experio Solutions to create state of the art HR services portal --&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;DALLAS, Texas, December 3, 2002 &amp;#194; Demonstrating continued market momentum, Experio Solutions, the global business and IT consulting arm of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT), today announced that LifeHub&amp;#194;, the HR portal solution developed for AlignMark, Inc. has gone live and is now serving their clients. AlignMark, headquartered in Maitland, Florida, is a leading provider of products and services that maximize its clients&amp;#194; investment in human capital. Recently, AlignMark introduced a new, state-of-the-art solution for meeting human resource demands, featuring LifeHub.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;LifeHub is an Internet based platform, built on Oracle technology, delivering personal and professional self-improvement information and resources to employees and their family members. This breakthrough solution allows AlignMark to serve large corporate customers and their employees by providing them information on a variety of topics including health, nutrition, career skills, stress management, relationships, and personal finance. And, as an online, self-service portal, it is available to employees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can be accessed, securely, from the workplace or from home. Companies like Equifax and the American Red Cross are already rolling out LifeHub to enhance their employees&amp;#194; work/life skills and abilities.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;Experio has developed a strong working relationship with AlignMark,&amp;#194; stated Allen Jackson, Manager of Experio&amp;#194;s eCommerce practice in the Southeast. &amp;#194;The portal implementation was mission critical for AlignMark and they came to us looking for a long-term partner they could rely on to deliver the &amp;#194;functionality they required.&amp;#194; We helped AlignMark leverage portal technology to move their business to the Internet.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Experio used a rapid implementation methodology to configure and customize Oracle&amp;#194;s 9iAS Portal product to support AlignMark&amp;#194;s unique requirements. The portal solution included the integration of ecommerce capability, enhanced security functionality to support use by multiple companies, and integrated third-party packages to support web conferences and surveys.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Experio Solutions&amp;#194; leadership for this implementation was a key to our success. They became our outsourced CTO," said Cabot Jaffee, CEO of AlignMark, Inc. "With Experio&amp;#194;s extensive Oracle capabilities and portal implementation experience, we were able to build LifeHub&amp;#194; on budget and schedule. We outsourced the entire implementation to Experio. Without them, we would not have been able to accomplish what we set out to do"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nourish Interactive reaches out to the Hispanic community, announcing the launch of the Spanish version of their innovative nutrition education and family wellness website. With a significant number of Hispanic children overweight or obese, it is vitally important to provide Hispanic families with nutrition and health resources in their primary language. A free online learning platform-bilingual (English/Spanish) healthy nutrition tools for families, children, educators and communities. Featuring award winning nutrition education games for kids, interactive wellness tools and practical nutrition information for parents, and an entire section of teaching materials for educators and communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) September 21, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nourish Interactive Inc announces the launch of the Spanish version of their nutrition education website. The website, nourishinteractive. com has offered some of the materials in Spanish over the last several years but now the entire website is bilingual.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;NourishInteractive. com is a free website with over 25 interactive nutrition games and tools to help children and parents make nutrition fun for the whole family. Earlier this year, the USDA listed nourishinteractive. com as one of the best websites for fighting childhood obesity. The American Library Association awarded nourishinteractive. com with their "Best Kids' Website" Seal.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents. Obesity has spread rapidly across race, gender, and class lines, but its prevalence has increased disproportionately among African-American, Hispanic, and Native American children. With a significant number of Hispanic children overweight or obese, they need free nutrition and health resources in their primary language.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I come from a Hispanic family and I wanted to make sure all Hispanics have access to these free nutrition games and tools. It is important for them to have resources in the language that is easiest for them to understand," said Maggie LaBarbera, Founder of Nourish Interactive, Inc.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move organization emphasizes the importance of empowering parents and caregivers to combat the epidemic of childhood obesity. Often times in households where both parents are working, the pressure to provide quick, easy meals results in frequent consumption of fast food, which is high in fat and calories and low in nutritional value. Nourish Interactive aims to give all parents, in English and Spanish, the facts, tools, and easy practical steps needed to make healthier choices.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The whole family can have fun and learn together to establish healthier habits at home. &lt;br/&gt;
The nutrition education website (http://nourishinteractive. com) has comprehensive material and online media for parents, educators and kids.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Website highlights include: &lt;br/&gt;
Interactive talking BMI calculator &lt;br/&gt;
Educational games for children based on the USDA Food Pyramid &lt;br/&gt;
Food label reading tools &lt;br/&gt;
A nutrition dictionary &lt;br/&gt;
Monthly healthy tips calendars &lt;br/&gt;
Articles for parents with practical suggestions for taking steps to healthier nutrition habits at home &lt;br/&gt;
Educator materials are conveniently found in English and Spanish &lt;br/&gt;
Visit Nourish Interactive's nutrition education website in Spanish (http://es. nourishinteractive. com)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;About Nourish Interactive &lt;br/&gt;
Nourish Interactive, Inc. is committed to educating both children and their parents about the importance of nutrition and exercise, with the belief that prevention is the best treatment.

&lt;p&gt;ArborInvestmentPlanner. com released the five sector themes that should be included in investment portfolios in 2010. These themes have strategic advantages driven by supply, demand, and global trends. The online investment newsletter believes these long term themes have the potential to provide superior returns for long term growth portfolios.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 12, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ArborInvestmentPlanner. com released the five sector themes that should be included in investment portfolios in 2010. These themes have strategic advantages driven by supply, demand, and global trends. The online investment newsletter believes these long term themes have the potential to provide superior returns for long term growth portfolios.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;ENERGY – Oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, and new green energy, will all be needed for future economic growth. Global markets already use all the energy produced worldwide. The tremendous growth expected in the standard of living of the emerging markets, in addition to worldwide increase in population, will force us to find more ways to produce and deliver energy to an energy starved world.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;INFRASTRUCTURE – No state or nation is able to thrive without the infrastructure to support growing economies and populations. Airports, railroads, highways, communications, etc. are all needed to move people, products, and information efficiently. Developed countries have old and neglected infrastructure needs. Emerging markets have unending needs for new infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;FOOD/NUTRITION/WATER – The lack of pure water is one of the greatest challenges in the world today. And as third world nations develop they are requiring more and higher quality food. Add world population growth and you have ever increasing demand for good nutrition, water, and quality food for decades to come.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;DEFENSE/TERRORISM/WAR – We live in a dangerous world. Trends that include an increasing number of fanatics willing to kill innocent people will require technology and diligence to defeat. Add to the fact, that as we have become more global and mobile, we have needed more resources to keep the peace, not less.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;HEALTH/ENVIRONMENT – This might be the most rewarding and riskiest investment of the five. Due to population growth in the developing markets, higher standards of living being demanded by emerging countries, and the aging of the developed nations (particularly the U. S. and Japan); the demand for health care and need for environmental services are expanding rapidly and possibly outstripping any other area. The growing risk is the trend toward government which socializes the industry and creates rationing instead of a free market that innovates and grows to meet expanding needs. Therefore, one must be extra careful when investing in this area.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Each of these five themes have the potential to provide extraordinary investment returns because the demand created by the global market place will require these needs be met. If demand outstrips supply; the return on investing in that product or service will have to be higher than average to attract investors into investing and meeting that need.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Ken Faulkenberry, principal at the Arbor Investment Planner, points out; “Choosing individual investments that take advantage of global trends and placing them in a properly diversified portfolio takes knowledge and many hours of research. Many investors want to stay in control of their money and manage their own investment but choose to hire an outside service such as http://www. ArborInvestmentPlanner. com (http://www. ArborInvestmentPlanner. com) to follow a model portfolio and specific buy and sell instructions. This allows an investor to maintain a properly asset allocated portfolio and make their own decisions, but have the research done for them”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A recent report warned that artificial food coloring causes serious health issues and should be removed from the food supply. Leading health freedom advocate and nutritional authority Byron J. Richards discusses ongoing FDA negligence and warns the American people of the major threat to our health freedom in a recent article: The Excuse to Regulate – Control vs. Freedom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) July 14, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist and author of popular book Fight for your health: Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America (http://www. wellnessresources. com/books/fight_for_your_health. php) Byron J. Richards takes a stand for American health freedom. In his new article: The Excuse to Regulate – Control vs. Freedom (http://www. wellnessresources. com/freedom/articles/the_excuse_to_regulate_control_vs._freedom/), Richards exposes this latest FDA’s negligence and warns the American people on the ongoing threats to American health and freedom.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Richards’ article begins by discussing the recent report, Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks, done by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The report warned that artificial food coloring should be removed from the food supply due to its proven link to cancer, birth defects, allergies, behavioral problems, and ADHD.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“While it is nice to see such a report on the blatant adulteration of our food supply, this information is not new.” Richards writes in his article. “The FDA has been ignoring the issue for decades.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Richards goes on to discuss the long line of FDA backtracks and scandal that have protected the profits and best interest of Big Business. Health for the average person has been sacrificed in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Management at the FDA is in a revolving door with the companies it regulates. For example, the Obama Administration has placed in charge of food safety at the FDA the Monsanto lawyer/lobbyist in charge of the promotion of toxic GMO food – a disastrous adulteration of our food supply.” writes Richards. “True food safety is a horrendous inconvenience to the FDA because it doesn’t drive profit.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Richards also explains that the suppression of health information and drive for Big Business profit threatens the health freedom of the American people. This is done with behind-the-door maneuvering and secret meetings between FDA officials and the businesses that are causing the most damage to our health. We as consumers do not hear the whole story and are force-fed information that is the most profitable to Big Business.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Health freedom is always the leading-edge indicator of freedom in any society,” writes Richards. “Control the minds and health of a population and you control that population. Something is terribly wrong. Americans are getting fed up with government and for good reason.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Richards, a consistent voice for health freedom (http://www. wellnessresources. com/freedom/), has made it his focus to educate and inform using his popular natural health newsletter (http://www. wellnessresources. com/store/newsletter. php) and books. His expos&amp;#233;, Fight for your health: Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America, uncovers hidden FDA secrets about adverse drug reactions and its quest to eliminate alternative health options in collusion with the pharmaceutical companies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kardea Nutrition introduced a lower calorie nutrition bar designed to support heart health and weight management. “Snacking has become a major source of harmful calories,” says Kardea’s Founder, Robert Leighton. &amp;quot;Our vegan bars provide delicious and balanced nutrition that satisfies hunger and delivers ingredients associated with heart health, including plant sterols, soluble fiber and plant-based proteins while meeting the FDA guidelines for low sodium, low saturated fats and no trans fats.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hamden, CT (PRWEB) December 30, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kardea Nutrition introduced a lower calorie nutrition bar designed to support heart health and weight management. “Snacking has become a major source of harmful calories,” says Kardea’s Founder, Robert Leighton. &amp;quot;Our newly formulated bars provide a delicious and balanced mix of healthy ingredients that satisfies hunger and delivers heart healthful nutrition.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;As a long time confectioner, Leighton formulated these bars as part of his personal mission to create great tasting foods that help enable the nutritional recommendations of the American Heart Association (AHA). “When I was 47,” says Leighton, “I was confronted with a real need to lower my cholesterol levels.” Looking to avoid medication, Leighton followed the recommendations of the AHA and the National Institutes of Health National Cholesterol Education Program. “I was able to significantly lower both my cholesterol and my weight,” says Leighton, “but I frequently crossed into unhealthy eating when it came to snacking.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Each of the four Kardea bar flavors was formulated with natural ingredients to satisfy cravings for popular sweet snacks, notably biscotti, banana bread, lemon squares and spice cake. Providing 7 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein in 140 calories, these bars support calorie reduction efforts. The combination of fiber and protein provide a lasting sense of fullness. Utilizing only natural sweeteners, the Kardea bars deliver 8 to 10 grams of sugar, substantially less than most nutrition bars.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The bars also deliver 1 full gram of plant sterols and soluble fibers from oats and psyllium. These nutrients are recommended by the National Institutes of Health as part of an integrated diet to support heart health and cholesterol reduction. The Kardea gourmet nutrition bars can be found at Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods and and other leading natural and healthy food retailers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ViSalus Sciences (http://www. visalus. com), a leader in innovative nutritional solutions, has announced the introduction of their new Trim Slim Shape™ Program (http://www. visalus. com/products/productLines. asp? sub1=weightloss&amp;imgSrc=1&amp;sub2=benefits&amp;imgSrc=1) for weight loss and weight management. This unique, patent-pending system of products addresses the 3 key common challenges people face when trying to lose or maintain weight:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;1. Getting good nutrition while cutting calories. &lt;br/&gt;
2. Boosting a tired metabolism and keeping energy levels going on fewer calories &lt;br/&gt;
3. Controlling the hunger and stress of dieting.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The product line uses novel, patented ingredients to ensure success. The system includes Vi-Shape™ Nutritional Drink Mix to provide "fast food made healthy." Vi-Shape uses a unique blend of proteins for fast and long-lasting hunger control. It also boasts low carbohydrates and sodium, patented Aminogen™ for maximum protein absorption, pre-biotic for digestive health, and 23 vitamins &amp; minerals in an amazing tasting Sweet Cream flavor.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Vi-Slim™ Metab-Awake! Tablets help boost your metabolism and increase energy. Packed with chocamine, green tea, and the Chinese herb Evodiamine, this unique tablet helps burn fat and promotes lean muscle.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Vi-Trim™ patent-pending formula controls hunger and helps manage the stress of dieting. This unique drink mix blends into any beverage, and is virtually colorless and flavorless for 'clear control' of hunger pangs.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair (http://www. ryanblair. com) recently unveiled the product before a record audience at the company's national Vitality event. "We are witnessing a revolution in an industry that has seen an endless parade of failed fad diets," said Blair. "The Trim Slim Shape Program will help ViSalus further impact the health of millions and put in people's hands the power to combat obesity and the serious risks that come with it."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Also on stage to launch the product were Blair's co-founders Nick Sarnicola and Blake Mallen, who will spend the rest of the month touring the country (http://www. visalus. com/opportunity/calendar/) to share this new product with distributors and customers who were not on hand for the launch.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Director of Product R&amp;D Dr. Michael Seidman helped unveil the sleek packaging of TSS with ViSalus Senior Vice President of Marketing Audrey Sommerfeld. Sommerfeld, previously a Vice President with Herbalife, has now launched 2 products in just over 12 months with ViSalus Sciences: The TSS Program and 2007's ViSalus NEURO (http://www. visalus. com/products/productLines. asp? sub1=neuro&amp;imgSrc=1) smart energy drink mix.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The ViSalus Trim Slim Shape™ Program makes weight management easy to follow and tastes great too. Ideal for both losing weight and keeping it off, the product is based on cutting edge science as evidenced by its two patents pending. Individuals who participated in a test market of the product lost anywhere from 3-24 pounds in their first week of use alone. The company is committed to helping others live healthier lives, and knows that the Trim Slim Shape Program will provide the tools many need to finally reach their goals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Books about diet are a dime a dozen - and frankly, that's about what they're worth, too. But every so often, a book comes along that strips away the hype, and the marketing, and the self-interest, and presents the science of food and nutrition just as it really is - as a pathway that can lead to a healthier life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vitality: Quest for a Healthy Diet in the Wake of the Low-Carb Craze By: Allison Tannis, BSc., MSc.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A happier, healthier life...&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Books about diet are a dime a dozen - and frankly, that's about what they're worth, too. But every so often, a book comes along that strips away the hype, and the marketing, and the self-interest, and presents the science of food and nutrition just as it really is - as a pathway that can lead to a healthier life.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;That's the road that Allison Tannis has taken in Vitality: Quest For a Healthy Diet in the Wake of the Low-Carb Craze. Tannis, educated as a nutritional scientist, highly regarded as a speaker on health-related issues and the current host of the radio show Healthy Living, simply lets the nutrition facts speak eloquently for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;She knows that our society is obsessed with weight and body image, but she also knows of the dangers that extreme, unhealthy diets can present. Tannis just boils things down to some simple basics: Eat good food, make smart choices, and enjoy in appropriate portions. Much of the rest will look after itself.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;But this book is more than a nutritional educational tool. It is a hugely entertaining read as well, something to curl up with on a Sunday afternoon that actually has the potential to change your life. Read what Allison Tannis has to say about food, nutrition and healthy living and you will never again succumb to the tantalizing lure of the next fad diet.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;This book is that good. Read it. . . for your life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CANIDAE To Conduct Charity Raffle to Benefit AKC Canine Health Foundation Pet Cancer Research&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) October 9, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CANIDAE Pet Foods, Inc. (www. canidae. com), a manufacturer of all natural holistic pet foods that are fed and recommended by thousands of certified breeders and rescue organizations throughout North America, will attend the American Kennel Club Meet the Breeds event on October 17-18, 2009 at the Javits Center in New York City where they will be handing out free product samples, coupons, and helping to raise funds for cancer research in pets.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The largest event of its kind in the world, the Meet the Breeds showcase is a chance to get to know 160 breeds of dog and 41 breeds of cat. Each breed will be presented in its own designated space, decorated to reflect its heritage, characteristics and unique attributes as a pet, while allowing attendees to literally "Meet the Breeds" by petting the dogs, cats, puppies and kittens and learning about them directly from the experts.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The event will also feature demonstrations such as law enforcement K9s, grooming, agility, obedience, an educational cat show, plus booths where the public can come talk to trainers, groomers, vets and other pet experts, one-on-one.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;CANIDAE Pet Foods will be at booth 419 for the event which is expected to draw a crowd of over 35,000 dog and cat lovers from across North America. In addition to offering free samples of CANIDAE&amp;#174; dog food, FELIDAE&amp;#174; cat food, and SNAP-BISCUIT&amp;#174; and SNAP-BITS™ gourmet dog treats, CANIDAE has created a special event-only coupon good toward $3 off any size bag of CANIDAE or FELIDAE natural, holistic pet foods.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Continuing their mission of supporting Responsible Pet Ownership and helping animals in need, CANIDAE will conduct a charity raffle with all proceeds benefitting cancer research in pets. One grand prize winner each day will each receive a Felt X-City 5 bicycle, valued at $500. The X-City-5 is designed for urban riding and is fun to ride no matter what type of abuse the streets dish out.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Tickets for the raffle are $2 for one, or $5 for three. 100% of all proceeds, including the cost of the Felt bicycles supplied by CANIDAE, will be donated to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation for cancer research in pets. "If you're in the New York area that weekend, please come visit us and experience this amazing showcase of animals, and buy a raffle ticket to support cancer research," said Dennis VanEtten, CANIDAE Sales Manager.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) December 15, 2000&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Press Release&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;New fitness Website to deliver the new, new thing for mind and body: online personal training.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;San Francisco, California &amp;#194; December 11, 27, 2000 &amp;#194; MyWorkoutPartner. com today announced plans to launch its premier online personal training service. The new fitness site specializes in designing personalized workout plans, based on users goals and lifestyle. The Website promises highly personalized plans whether your goals are to build muscle, lose weight or complete your first triathlon. MyWorkoutPartner. com was founded by Erick Alvarez, one of San Francisco&amp;#194;s top personal trainers, who points out that the biggest difference between MyWorkoutPartner. com and other fitness websites that use standardized or computer generated workouts is the personal and individual attention that they offer their members.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A combination of the Web&amp;#194;s most extensive exercise library, articles on topics ranging from nutrition and motivation to exercise physiology, and the personalized workouts makes MyWorkoutPartner. com a hip new way to learn how to workout, eat right, and live healthier. And unlike fitness magazines or books, the site is interactive which allows members to e-mail their online trainer with their specific questions and concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;This Website is an alternative to traditional and expensive personal trainers, and it&amp;#194;s ideal for anyone who either can&amp;#194;t afford or simply does not want to pay $50-$100 an hour for one &amp;#194; but would still like the workouts, guidance and support which personal trainers provide&amp;#194; says Alvarez, &amp;#194;My purpose is to create an interactive Website which will provide members with the workouts, nutrition education and information to reach their fitness goals and live healthier lifestyles&amp;#194; he adds. &amp;#194;There is so much fitness and nutrition information out there that it becomes a difficult task for an individual to make informed decisions about what is appropriate for them&amp;#194; explains Alvarez &amp;#194;at MyWorkoutPartner. com we take into account the many unique characteristics in a person to design their programs and provide nutritional guidance&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Erick Alvarez, 33, attended The San Francisco State University and earned a BS degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science; he is certified by the American College of Sports Medicine. Alvarez has trained clients at San Francisco&amp;#194;s most reputable health clubs, including The San Francisco Bay Club, Golden Gateway Tennis &amp; Swim Club and Gold&amp;#194;s Gym. He has been featured on KPIX, Channel 5 (CBS) &amp;#194;Evening Magazine&amp;#194; and given seminars on fitness and health for the Department of Public Health of San Francisco.

&lt;p&gt;Patrick S Keeley MF Phys, ABH, SNLP, announces his new book and seminar, “Stress-proof your life.” This revolutionary plan is not a stress management program. Rather than seeking to manage stress it goes beyond the thousands of stress management programs available by combining mind and body techniques to combat the health problems caused by chronic stress.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) April 9, 2006&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Patrick S Keeley MF Phys, ABH, SNLP, announces his new book and seminar, “Stress-proof your life.” This revolutionary plan is not a stress management program. Rather than seeking to manage stress it goes beyond the thousands of stress management programs available by combining mind and body techniques to combat the health problems caused by chronic stress.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Based on the new discipline of psychophysical medicine, "Stress-proof your life" provides the reader with a set of tools that eliminate the deadly effects of chronic stress altogether. It explains the psychophysical connection that lies at the root of chronic stress and demonstrates the techniques that can be used to beat it.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“It’s time we put the old stress management paradigm behind us and start eliminating chronic stress as a health issue, for good” says Keeley.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The book is based on Keeley’s simple to follow three step plan that his clients’ use to overcome their health problems caused by the stress of daily life. Through a highly effective set of objectives that are readily attainable the plan will:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Re-balance blood sugar levels &amp;nbsp;Replenish depleted brain neurotransmitters &amp;nbsp;Build a strong and stress-proof body &amp;nbsp;Install positive thought processes and help remove negative patterns&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Originally trained in physical therapy, Keeley later switched to Psychology, and in particular behavioral therapy, to get to the heart of the often deadly effects of chronic stress that his patients exhibited. Having suffered himself for some time with stress related illness, he realized that traditional stress management classes and programs were not preventing or curing the severe health problems caused by chronic stress. Using nutritional supplementation, cutting edge audio technology and easy physical exercises, this plan succeeds where traditional stress management programs fail.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Stress-proof your life is available in a variety of formats from the self-help book, one on one sessions with a stress-proof coach or full day’s corporate seminar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Masters has a two fold purpose, to CLEANSE the body INTERNALLY and EXTERNALLY. The first component is the soap, an all natural combination of electrically formulated water and minerals. It helps you to PROCESS and ELIMINATE TOXINS efficiently through your skin. It OPENS PORES that are CLOGGED WITH FAT from bar soap or petroleum products and promotes NATURAL healing. Topically, the neutralizer gel is an incredibly effective skin-repair lotion. Cuts, burns and wounds HEAL with AMAZING speed. Compare this gel with aloe vera, you will be astounded. The Masters Miracle Soap is so versatile it not only cleanses the body, it also helps to ELIMINATE TOXIC AND HARSH CHEMICALS from your environment. Use it in your kitchen, in your bathroom, on your plants AND your pets!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) November 14, 2003&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From the desk of Clayton, Tedeton of Monroe, La., creator of Miracle Soap :&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to what may be the single most important concept in healthcare to come about in the past several decades. What you are about to discover is fact. The facts behind how a few, simple common sense product changes incorporated in one's daily hygiene regimen can have a profound and lasting impact on one's health.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The simple changes to one's regimen include substituting Miracle Soap for your shampoo and bath products, substituting Miracle Soap Neutralizer for your toothpaste and as an additive to your drinking water, consuming at least 2 liters of pure water a day. The substitution of a Miracle Soap Deodorant Stone for your antiperspirant. Additionally, we ask that you wash your clothes and linens with a Miracle Soap laundry product. The cost to you may be pennies more than you already spend, and then again it may be less. In the long run it will be substantially less. We challenge you to try the products and see the results for yourself. However corny you may think this sounds, the truth is you cannot afford not to try it.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE CHALLENGE:&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The quotation below is an excerpt from the March 8, 1999 issue of Chemical Engineering News, a weekly publication serving the chemical industry.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Sandia National Laboratories chemist Maher E. Tadros, in protective gear, sprays a foam that he and Sandia chemist Mark D. Tucker have developed to decontaminate chemical and biological warfare agents. The foam is a combination of a mild nucleophile such as hydrogen peroxide carbonates commonly found in toothpaste, a positively charged non-toxic surfactant often found in hair conditioners, and hydrotopes found in detergents. Hydrotopes found in detergents solubilize and catalyze the neutralization of the agents.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The foam reacts rapidly with the agents, is non-toxic and non-corrosive and could be produced at a cost of 15 cents per pound. Testing the foam against the nerve gases VX and Soman and against mustard gas was conducted by Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago because Sandia can only use simulants. The half-life of the reaction 'is in the neighborhood of 2-10 minutes, Soman being neutralized very quickly and mustard gas reacting much more slowly,' Tadros explains. The foam has been shown by NMR to cleave the P-S bond in the agents.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Using a simulant for the biological warfare agent anthrax, the foam achieved a 7-log kill, meaning only one anthrax spore of 10 million is alive after one hour. IIT will test live anthrax next month.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;How the spores are killed is not known. Researchers speculate that the surfactants damage the spore's protective protein wall and all the nucleophiles -- oxidizing agents -- to attack the genetic material inside. The foam's development is part of the Department of Energy's Chemical &amp; Biological Nonproliferation Program."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The article discloses a product developed by Sandia Labs for the Biological and Chemical Warfare Division of the US Military under the auspices of the DOE. The product is a combination of a peroxide gel surfactant commonly found in shampoo, conditioners and different food stuffs and hydrotopes found in detergents. Obviously the product neutralizes the most potent nerve toxins and airborne pathogens known to man. The product acts to neutralize these agents and cleanse them from the skin like an antibacterial soap, but it is not soap. We spoke with one of the product developers, Dr. Mark Tucker. His explanation was that the peroxide gel, an oxidizing agent in conjunction with the surfactant and hydrotope, surrounds the organism or chemical agent, oxidizes it and will not allow it to interact with it's environment, effectively neutralizing the toxic agent. The surfactant-hydrotope combination is apparently very selective in seeking out only toxins and gram positive pathogens. This is not an antioxidant reaction, quite the opposite, if peroxide is present. Likewise, it appears we are looking at the missing ingredients in peroxide and ozone therapy that would keep these strong oxidizers from harming the body after they have oxidized pathogens and oxygenated the body -- the surfactant and hydrotope. Surfactants have been used in fuel cells in lieu of salt to catalyze the electronic reaction and could do the same for ozone therapy machines. We know that the body's T-cells dispatch pathogens with peroxide and we know that the body and cells manufacture and use surfactants in places like the lungs to regulate oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange and at the surface of the cell wall to reduce surface tension in the water layer surrounding the cell membrane. This is necessary for cellular functioning and communications. Could it be that the surfactant in the lungs has an anti-microbial and anti-toxin function that has eluded science to date? It would appear that biochemists as well as the medical community may have missed these connections in terms of a surfactant-hydrotope role in human health.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;SURFACTANTS, HYDROTOPES AND HUMAN HEALTH&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We are reminded of the discovery of penicillin and how doctors lamented about not having seen the relation between the substance's known anti-microbial properties and human health earlier. Iodine based anti-microbial soaps have been used in hospitals and clinics for years. Even in use in surgery on patient's insides before closing them up to lessen the chance of infection and neutralize toxins. Why didn't one of these practitioners ever think about creating a soap-like product for internal use capable of neutralizing toxins and pathogens while facilitating elimination? We now have this product available : Miracle Soap and Neutralizer. These products have been on the market for the last 18 years, quietly used by thousands of people with virtually nothing but positive benefits to their health. Benefits that can only be attributed to the product's use as directed. What we are witnessing is a totally new paradigm in healthcare and preventive maintenance. A paradigm that is both inexpensive and effective. We do not believe in "magic bullets" or panaceas. We do believe in accessories or adjuncts that aid and restore body functioning to design, thus allowing the body to approach optimal health on its own.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Can the road to health and longevity be as simple as proper hydration coupled with a product capable of sequestering toxins and pathogens in such a manner that they can be washed from the body internally as easily as they can be washed from the skin with soap? Is there something that can do this with no adverse side effects, no associated healing crisis and do this with no other form of intervention?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We believe the Miracle Soap and Neutralizer capable of doing just that. This in reality is not intervention at all, it is personal hygiene, internal hygiene like drinking plenty of water, taking a bath or brushing your teeth! This is a very uncomplicated procedure. You simply replace all of your shampoos, soaps, toothpaste and laundry detergents with Miracle products and witness the difference it makes in your life. If you are a health conscious individual compare the cost of Miracle monthly expense to the complex vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, trace minerals and various chelates (some chelating agents are surfactants) you are currently consuming in an attempt to remedy health concerns minus the cost of toiletries and detergents, then see where you stand. Basically for slightly more than the replacement cost of your current personal hygiene items and detergents you can have Miracle products plus health. How much is your health worth to you? Are you really getting your money's worth from what you are spending when most of what you are consuming is eliminated from the body prior to use?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We are not advocating that a person stop using neutraceuticals, they do have a positive effect on a person's health. But, consider that the very best antioxidants available including pycnogenol (grape seed and microhydrin) contain surfactant properties and you will see why they work so much better than the rest. They are also the most expensive. Surfactants have the ability to extend products and reduce surface tension to the point that they can be carried into the cell. It also means you don't have to use as much of them when the surfactant is present.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Free Radical Theory May Be Incomplete&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;We hear a lot about the Free Radical Theory of Disease and Aging these days. Touted as an explanation for everything that ails us. In view of the above, we feel the current Free Radical Theory may be incomplete. The Free Radical Theory concerns itself only with harm done by sub-atomic particles called protons via ionic oxidation to the cell wall and internal portion of a cell. The remedy to this perceived threat is supplying the body with surplus free electrons donated from ionic compounds we must consume to balance out electrical charges strictly from a chemical standpoint, thus freeing the body from this imbalance. The free radical is the bad guy and the antioxidant is the good guy and the whole current marketing scenario is about declaring war on free radicals. We reel that getting on a bandwagon and declaring war on free radicals may not be the only answer. We accept that it is about achieving a balance. A review of basic human physiology tells us that without free radicals you would not be alive! Almost all of the acid based metabolic functions of the body as well as your immune system work by means of free radicals. If the body could adequately cleanse itself of a radical after it performed its function it would not be necessary to perform the added energy inefficient step of neutralizing radicals with antioxidants prior to eliminating them from the body. The big culprit is dehydration. Most of us are dehydrated. Antioxidants don't cure dehydration, water does! If we had enough pure water available within the body we could eliminate radicals before they became a problem. A review of the theory in practice demonstrates that most antioxidants are large organic molecules that have only a single electron to donate. Once they have donated that electron they themselves become a free radical that in turn needs an antioxidant to neutralize it. This continues for about five additional antioxidant demand steps before it is finally balanced simply because there are very few broad spectrum antioxidants capable of donating more than one free electron and quenching the free radical in one step. Each additional step equates to another energy demand for waste removal from the body.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, there has been an ongoing debate among scientists who know that the atmosphere contains free electrons and negatively charged ions capable of quenching free radicals through the skin as well as through the lungs. They imply that the quenching process proceeds at electronic speeds, near light velocity and never is it at a mechanistic chemical approach standstill. Basically a free radical is always hunting an electron to balance itself out; consequently it steals one from a healthy cell's double electric ion-water layer surrounding the cell. The theft of this ion is automatically adjusted for in a series of steps that take place from the atmosphere inward to the deficient cell at near instantaneous speeds. If this is true, then there is a limited need for consumption of additional large organic antioxidant molecules.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The last and foremost difficulty with the Free Radical Theory is that it is based only on electrical charge satisfaction. Once an electrical charge has been satisfied there is no flow of current, the body depends on a flow of electrical current to live. Where there is a flow of current there is something else going on. The other vector of electromagnetism which is totally neglected by this theory-magnetism and the role it plays in cellular functioning and health. Some years ago Swedish radiologist Bjorn Nordstrom proposed a working theory based on his observations which stated that the components of our circulatory system carried an electrical charge. The observed charge geometry was opposite charges on the inner walls versus the outer walls of arteries and veins. This is not surprising as blood flow containing iron rich hemoglobin would generate an electrical charge as long as it was flowing. The charges on the walls themselves were moving in opposite directions. A moving charge generates a magnetic field transverse to the direction of movement. When this process slows or breaks down the charge density decreases. The magnetic field collapses and diseases like cancer ensue. Cancerous masses exhibit an electropositive charge radiating outward from the mass. By changing the electro-potential of the mass from positive to negative Nordenstrom in many cases was able to make the mass dissipate and return to normal cell growth. Hemoglobin is of course the oxygen carrier for the body. Oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange is an electromagnetic process involving a surfactant as well. Oxygen is strongly paramagnetic. When oxygen levels to the tissue drop, chemically reducing conditions predominate. Cancer is a condition that depends on reducing conditions and low electromagnetic current flow to manifest. This information gives strong credence to direct blood electrification technologies. We now know that the body produces the magnetic mineral magnetite and that magnetite is present in small quantities in virtually every cell in the body, playing roles ranging from shielding mechanisms. Sensory mechanisms trigger mechanisms of enzymatic reactions. And these roles are not just tied to ferromagnetic materials like magnetite. Every non-ferromagnetic substance exhibits paramagnetic or diamagnetic qualities measured as minute differences in their magnetic susceptibility (measured behavioral response to a magnetic field). Biochemistry has paid absolutely no attention to this or the ability of applied magnetic or electrical fields to influence chemistry. The free radical theory" 'will remain incomplete until it adequately addresses these issues. The issue is not just electrical charges found in chemistry. It must include polar magnetic effects--- not just electrical induction, but magnetic induction and the effects it has on a substances magnetic susceptibility. Last year one of the journals of chemistry published an article stating it was looking more and more like it was the fields surrounding a substance C field resonance) that were doing the work and not the chemical substance itself. The gross physical substance appeared to be contributing only to the side effects! And medicine is still saying that there is nothing to Homeopathy. They haven't studied the magnetic susceptibility relationships! Chemistry is only now getting around to studying the electrotheology interactions of compounds in water. It will be a while before they study the magnetotheology relationships in terms of the magnetic susceptibility of substances in aqueous mediums like those found in the body. Another area of study that is about to unfold in relation to human health in terms of minerals and elemental transformations is plasma discharge charge cluster dynamics (quantum biology).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Surfactant Chemistry&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;First, what is a surfactant? A surfactant is a surface-active agent or wetting agent organic or hydryl-carbyl-silane molecule that contains hydrophylic (water loving), and hydrophobic (water hating) respective parts that allows the molecule to act with both properties - in other words the molecule is non-polar on one end and polar on the other. They are coupling agents normally functioning at the interface between bulk materials (for example; oil and water) such that what would not normally mix does so in the form of a suspension or colloid. The hydrophobic non-polar end attaches to dirtv pathogens and oils while the hydrophylic end attaches to water. Surfactants are thus used to create micelles (micro-container for substances like oils) and reduce the surface or interfacial tension between the affected water and it's bulk substance. In this manner the water and a substance are bound to one another and can then be transported more effectively by the water because the water is now wetter and more slippery. This is how detergents remove oils, dirt, grime, odors, and microbes from your clothes. Surfactants are usually manufactured from natural organic substances like fatty alcohols found in plant material. The creator or Miracle Products was guided to use a particular coconut derived surfactant (NO, not Cocomide DEA that has been demonstrated to cause cancer in mice or unreformed sodium laurel sulfate that is suspected of being a carcinogen-most surfactants are not beneficial to humans or animals). They must be transformed before they are acceptable for human consumption. This particular non-harmful transformed surfactant specifically targets and cleanses gram-positive pathogens and substances toxic to humans out of the body after it has been subjected to the manufacturers process. Which surfactant is it? That's the manufacturer's trade secret. It is non-harmful to begin with and becomes very beneficial after it has been treated. This is why the bio - and chemical warfare people still do not have anything consumable - they were unable to back-engineer the manufacturer&amp;#194;s process. When you try to analyze a surfactant chemically, it is very difficult and one that is diluted in water is nearly impossible. Now consider one that has been transformed by a trade secret electronic process. This should give you some inkling of how and why the product works. More on that later after you have had time to digest this.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A clue as to how the manufacturers multi-phase plasma arc and electronic process transforms the properties of the surfactant is on the bottle: stabilized oxygen and ash of dodecyl sulfate (a surfactant) Those of you who follow the Edgar Cayce health readings will recall that Cayce had a cancer remedy based on something he called "animated ash." Animated ash was a form of bamboo that was reduced to activated charcoal by means of a partial vacuum electrical carbon arc process. The resulting ash was taken internally. Coconut husk derived activated charcoal is the preferred form of charcoal for water and air filtration. Miracle products all contain an electrically treated coconut based surfactant in addition to the ash of dodecyl sulfate. Basically the manufacturers multiphase plasma arc process carbonizes and reforms the surfactant into an activated form through elemental transformational charge cluster dynamics. We carbonized some doceyl sulphate in our lab and lo and behold when we added it into some water it still had surfactant properties and was still able to reduce the surface tension of water! So what is this Carbon Ash? It is a form of dielectric (electrical insulator) carbon capable of affixing copious quantities of oxygen to its structure in a form usable by the body. It is a strong oxygenator that when diluted in water possessing reduced surface tension, allows it reach all parts of the body very quickly. This hydrated-charge clustered form of paramagnetic oxygen is electronegative and as such when attached to hemoglobin is dispersed and diffused to the body faster and in greater quantities due to the action of the reduced surface tension water! Thus Miracle II products have a distinct advantage over the older Cayce preparation. Some of you may be familiar with Dr. Willard's CAW water. Dr. Willard was a chemist who formulated a castor oil and coal (carbon) based soap that had been electrically treated and is reported to have remarkable health benefits when diluted in water and taken internally. Sound familiar? The difference is that Willard's product does not exhibit reduced surface tension in water. In fact it raises the surface tension of water. This tells us that it will not be as active or effective in the body as Miracle Neutralizer. When viewing the reconstituted Neutralizer in solid form, it has a curious pale blue color, like the atmosphere. We surmise that this is the life (giving oxygen locked into the mix. It is, in addition, evidence of the Eloptic (subtle) energy the same as Reich's Orgone energy, which is reported to be pale blue in color).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"The Spiritual Thing"&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Connection of Reduced Surface Tension and Coherence of Vacuum State "Zero Point Energy"&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;It is accepted scientific fact that living cells produce coherent light, just like a laser, by means of an electronic relationship between the cell membrane, a sugar based surfactant and water. The cell produces the sugar surfactant that in turn alters the two to three molecule thick double electric ion layer buffer between the cell membrane and the water interface. The surface or interfacial tension of water within this thin layer is maintained by the cell at about 45 dynes/cm as compared to the bulk interstitial water measurement of 72.3 dynes/cm tension when cohering light. By regulating the surface tension of this layer the cell can cohere, decohere and change the frequency of light within this layer. This means that the cell can produce light over a broad bandwidth of the EM spectrum. Present measurements range from UV through IR down on into the X - band. This spectral manipulation involves changing the thickness of the double electric layer. The resulting coherent light is said to possess a signal quality ten times that of our best lasers. Additionally, it has only been within the last year that engineers have been able to build a laser capable of cohering light of two separate frequencies simultaneously. Wonders of Mother Nature never cease; the cell has been doing it since God willed it into existence! This high signal quality is what has allowed German researchers to separate cellular signal content from the signal to noise domain. Coherent light signal information is how cells control cellular function and communicate with each other at light velocity. The cellular photographic field equivalent of the nervous system, responds much more quickly than die physical nervous system. This system allows cells to utilize tools like fine level spectroscopy and interferometry to obtain information on identifying and spatially referencing anything in its environment. It is this holographic light field extending beyond the body that we term the Aura. This system is so speedy that the chemical matter part of our body has a time delay before it can process the information for our brains. This delay between cellular sensing and slower nervous system-brain sensing is what is called time-ratio signaling or phase-modulated signals. Basically the brain is the last information processor to receive the parallel processed information. The cellular sensory system could be termed a holographic, parallel processing quantum computer. The holographic nature of the cellular system is derived from the fact that the coherent light travels around the cell membrane creating self referencing phase conjugated constructive interference and atomic spin alignment which is what amplifies and increases the oscillator signal quality while at the same time sensing all the different possibilities and probabilities for an event occurrence in order to select the right one for it's specific dimensional and time reference frame. Once the amplitude of coherent light has built up or lased it is able to discharge its signal content to other cells. The receiver cells as a whole, or individual cellular systems, can either resonate in harmony and identify with each other or sense receive and cross collate the information for better resolution. This identity is a systems-regulating mechanism, sensitive to many cyclic rhythms.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Friction, surface coherence and surface tension are related to one another. We all know that when we rub two surfaces together it produces heat and resistance. The most recent work on friction shows that this is related to electron drag across a surface that produces phonons (Standing waves of mechanical energy - sound or heat) and that when we put a lubricant between the two surfaces it reduces the fiction by dampening the standing waves (the interfering noise levels). That is what a surfactant in water does. It is a self-orienting lubricant that allows the water and the cell membrane to come closer together without touching while increasing the amount of available surface energy between the two substances. It allows the two dissimilar substances to interact without merging. It regulates the quantities of heat, light and sound and determines the specific wavelengths of light that can exist within the buffered zone. The closer the two substances come together the higher the coherence and frequency generated between the two until a coherence match occurs and lasing begins. This characteristic is likened to what in radio electronics is called an impedance match between a dipole transmitter antenna and a receiver. The two opposing surfaces and corresponding double electric layers constitute a capacitor-resistor oscillator circuit around the cell and on structures within the interior of the cell. These structures act as resonant cavity oscillators that amplify the signal and probably aid in stepping the signal frequency down. Since the cell membrane and water interface is elastic, this allows for not only coherent light production but high frequency transverse electromagnetic (other than light) and acoustic wave transmission. The double electric layer buffer zone coherence is what quantum physicists refer to as an interface for the Lamb shift and the Casimir Effect. Then the distance between two non-charged surfaces is sufficiently small or in dimensional accord with the energy filled space matrix vacuum potential, coherence will occur and draw energy from the vacuum potential. This is what is called Zero Point Energy extraction from the vacuum. This phenomenon would explain how humans constantly use more energy than they can extract from the food. Water and air intakes and burns during the metabolic process for healthy human functioning. This energy is very high frequency. Consequently the gross matter of our bodies can only extract a small portion of it - basically the lower harmonics that is in tune with matter. Some researcher's calculations indicate the convened amount is as little as 100 watts of power a day. We presently do not know the body's step down mechanism for making more of this energy available to lower order systems except for transverse EM and sound waves mentioned earlier. This system represents one of the highest, if not the highest types of energy generating and sensory Systems found in the living human organism. As an aside we had made mention of the new research on quantum state computers and the possible link with this cellular mechanism and parallel processing quantum computing. Quantum computing makes use of single atoms axial spin alignment as an on-off type switch. The atomic computer is theorized to have access to or contains all the possibilities and probabilities for an event occurrence within the universe and all parallel universes and can make the one and only correct decision referenced to it's present phased time frame. Additionally, once two atoms have made a coherent connection, the memory of that connection and shared information is retained throughout the two atoms lifetimes. Even when separated by great distances this connection is maintained, meaning that there is communication between the two at speeds greater than light velocity. So, present Quantum Mechanics has finally gotten around to explaining action at a distance greater than previously allowed by inverse square law mechanics or quantized field theory and at speeds greater than that of light! This realization opens the door for explaining all paranormal phenomena, teleportation, mass translation, and the connectedness of all things in the universe via vacuum state harmonic resonance. This has been one of God's most cherished secrets that he has now graced science with. The human race must be doing something right for a change. What does this have to do with Miracle products and human functioning? Think about it. If you have a transformed material capable of interfacing with a human at the right frequencies and cohering energy of the spirit, light and wisdom directly into human beings in usable form then there is no negative force in this universe that a human cannot overcome!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;When our nutrition is poor, our water and mineral intake low, and we are exposed to environmental toxins, our energy levels drop to the point that our immune Systems can no longer fight off pathogens. How does this work from an electronics aspect? Once the energy level drops. Not only is the body incapable of producing the necessary quantity of chemicals to sustain peak functioning, the resonance of the chemical toxins and pathogens is higher than that of the cells and begins to drive the cellular oscillators at the foreign chemical's and organisms disharmonious resonance. Since the correct amount of sugar surfactant is no longer being produce&amp; the oscillator circuit either resonates at the wrong frequencies or fails. Consequently, the holographic regulation function collapses. The body now must rely on its back-up systems. Ill health, premature aging, and death ensue.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Now this is pure conjecture, but based on the beneficial effects and energy increases observed in individuals on the Miracle program, plus how the product amplifies radionics signals, we would have to assume that the product's creator was given a way to manufacture a surfactant that can either supplement or replace the sugar surfactant with a more resistant and elastic surfactant capable of forming a thinner membrane. The Miracle Product surface active ingredient must help form the correct thickness double electric layer around a cell to cohere the correct frequencies for energy extraction from the vacuum - this may well be the clue to the most important activity of Miracle Products in the body.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The other half of this energy producing mechanisms within the body involving Miracle Products that is not currently recognized by western physiology and biochemistry is plasma discharge charge cluster dynamics. The human body is largely composed of water. The body fluids contain quantities of electrolyte and soluble trace minerals. We know that water can be used as a fuel when water is split into hydrogen and oxygen and recombined to yield heat, light and water once again. Water is usually split by electrolysis in a fuel cell. Science is now realizing that plasma charge cluster dynamics and elemental transformations are taking place in minerals in the water and in the cell electrodes. Literally forming highly energetic transformed mineral charge clusters. We know that chemical electrolysis takes place in the body all the time. Many fuel cells use surfactants in the water to help with the reaction. As an experiment we placed some Miracle Neutralizer in an open 9V electrolysis cell to see what happened. The electrolytic reaction increased by a power of 10 over a normal cation and pH matched alkaline electrolyte! We don't know if what was out-gassing off the electrodes was only hydrogen and oxygen and we do not know if this electrochemical reaction is going on in the body. We do know that the manufacturer's process involves charge clustering and reformation of the surfactant and minerals in the water. It could very well be that when the body's chemical electrolysis process is combined with the charge clustered reformed surfactant, efficiencies may increase several fold. This would also explain the detoxification effects. Toxic chemicals would literally be broken down and transformed into benign or usable beneficial byproducts by the action of the charge clusters. We do know that in the agriculture of very healthy desert plants that the plants have been observed to give off water even during the hottest (high solar radiation capable of generating charge clusters within the plant thus increasing chemical electrolysis) and most dry part of the day. Science now knows that most of the energy that drives these charge cluster plasmoids comes from outside the system. Their field and spin dynamics polarize the vacuum and pull energy in from the space matrix. Consequently they become self-regenerative charge structures that pick up and hold mineral ions in their centers. At a finer level this is the way that subatomic particles and atoms are formed from the space matrix vacuum---zero point energy. Biophysicists now recognize that the classical explanation of the mechanics of cellular sodium-potassium pump energy production is incorrect. This mechanism was never more than a theory, but was always presented as fact. The problem was, no one could figure out how sodium always went into the cell and potassium always came out The classical explanation of the materials balance replenishment cycle is not feasible. A mechanism is readily available, if we look to research results stemming from cold fusion experiments. It is through an electrostatic trans-membrane potential difference known as electro-insertion. The only way this could happen is if the sodium were transformed into potassium by charge cluster dynamics within the cell and consequently kicked out of the cell, thus drawing in another sodium ion in the process!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;If this were not happening, we would be dead, dead, dead!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;--THE LIVING CELL IS A MINIATURE COLD FUSION NUCLEAR REACTOR CAPABLE OF ELEMENTAL TRANSFORMATlONS THAT NET EXCESS ENERGY BACK TO THE LIVING SYSTEM! ONLY GOD COULD HAVE ENGINEERED THIS AND ONLY GOD CAN IMPROVE ON IT!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8119555119498483974-2260925207845493318?l=carlton-branch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119555119498483974/posts/default/2260925207845493318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8119555119498483974/posts/default/2260925207845493318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carlton-branch.blogspot.com/2011/08/clean-and-heal-natural-way-with-toxin.html' title='Clean and Heal the Natural Way with Toxin &amp;amp;amp; Chemical free Products'/><author><name>Ramprasad</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119555119498483974.post-7903122341152456567</id><published>2011-08-02T08:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-02T08:10:00.382-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nutrition'/><title type='text'>Dieters Reach Health and Fitness Goals Faster with the Clean Eating Bracelet</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Dieters Reach Health and Fitness Goals Faster with the Clean Eating Bracelet&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Simple, attractive bracelet reminds dieters to make good food choices every day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Littleton, CO (PRWEB) September 24, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highly-effective weight-loss and nutritional principles of Clean Eating (i. e. The Eat Clean Diet), produce even better results when followers of these plans track their daily food choices with the Clean Eating Bracelet. The bracelet, which came on the market in July 2010, is already developing a following of users who report that wearing it every day helps them track their clean eating, stay focused on their fitness and weight loss goals, and get the lasting benefits of the eating clean lifestyle. Using a simple system of beautiful artisanal glass beads and silver charms, dieters keep track of the number of servings of healthy carbs, proteins, fruits, and veggies they eat every day without having to count calories or carb and fat grams. The Clean Eating Bracelet comes in three versions, one for a basic Clean Eating diet, one for diabetes-friendly eating, and one for people who are eating lower carbohydrate diets.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Clean Eating Bracelet Creates Daily Diet Accountability&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Clean Eating Bracelet is not a diet plan in itself, but uses a simple system of beads and charms to help users keep track of the number of servings of clean foods they eat every day. The bracelets come packaged with a simple Eating Clean Food Plan, a portion guide, and a list of good clean eating choices. Personal coaching can also be added to the bracelet for those who need a little extra support. “I created The Clean Eating Bracelet to help me break free of the hassle of counting calories and carbs and help me learn healthy, realistic habits for lasting weight loss. I've been eating clean for a while with good weight loss results, but I needed a little help sticking to eating clean and controlling my portions on a daily basis. I needed something to make me more accountable for my eating choices, so I developed The Clean Eating Bracelet,” says Mary Read, who developed the bracelet. “It’s really helped me get the boost I needed to stick to my commitment to health and Clean Eating.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;An Effective and Easy to Use Tool for Healthy Weight Loss&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Using the Clean Eating Bracelet is simple. Each bracelet has a certain number of blue, red, purple, and green beads representing servings of healthy carbs, proteins, fruits and vegetables. These groups of beads are separated by charms which are moved along the groups of beads as servings of each type of food are eaten each day. By following the principles of clean eating and being mindful of portions, bracelet users lose weight consistently and develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime. “When I wear my bracelet, I’m reminded of my health goals every time I look down. Just seeing it helps me stick to making clean eating choices,” says user Fran Wildner. “Stopping to figure out how many beads I have to move to eat a chili dog helps me skip it and choose to eat something I can feel good about!” Learn more at http://CleanEatingBracelet. com (http://CleanEatingBracelet. com).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Clean Eating Bracelet is not affiliated with or a partner of the Eat Clean Diet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the nation's leading pediatric eating disorder treatment facilities Kartini Clinic has launched a new treatment program for children and young adults suffering from food phobia. Food phobia occurs in children and young adults, often as a direct result of an episode of choking and/or vomiting that leads them subsequently to refuse all solid food. In severe cases patients even refuse to swallow any liquids, including their own saliva. This irrational and deeply held fear leads to weight loss and can lead to dehydration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 16, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While it is not known how many children and young adults suffer from food phobia, those who do often undergo drastic and unnecessary treatments such as psychiatric hospitalization, even surgery. Kartini Clinic's program is a non-invasive, non-coercive family based treatment program with a proven treatment protocol developed over many years of clinical experience by a multidisciplinary team of pediatricians and specialized psychotherapists.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Kartini Clinic program, the nation's first standardized pediatric treatment protocol for food phobia, emphasizes the role of the family in care and strives to remove the patient as quickly as possible from an inpatient setting. This emphasis allows for a shorter, less intensive course of treatment that is often much less traumatic for patients and their families. Because lengthy hospital stays and residential treatment are avoided, the program is also often much less expensive than treatment alternatives.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to Dr. Julie O'Toole MD, founder and medical director of the Kartini Clinic, &lt;br/&gt;
“most patients who come to us have already been seen by some combination of their own doctor, a gastroenterologist, a speech therapist, a psychologist, a throat surgeon or an occupational therapist. In some cases this cascade of referrals has lead to a delay in resolution of the problem as long as six months.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Kartini Clinic for Disordered Eating was established in 1998, in Portland, Oregon, and is dedicated exclusively to the treatment of eating disorders in children and young adults. Its milieu-based treatment programs for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and food phobia utilize evidence-based treatments including family-based treatment (FBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and medical management of proper nutrition and overall physical and psychological health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ESE Comments on Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) Study On Unhealthy Kid-Friendly Restaurant Meals&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Woodbury, NY (PRWEB) August 6, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ESE Foods, the creator of the popular Breakfast BREAKS grab and go breakfast meal, today issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to delivering nutritionally superior meal options to America's children in response to the Center for Science in the Public Interest's newly released study, "Kids' Meals: Obesity on the Menu." The study shows that most meal options for kids at leading fast food chains, including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, KFC and Taco Bell, dramatically exceed recommended calorie amounts for children.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Breakfast BREAKS is a nutritious breakfast kit for kids that is available in both the retail and school foodservice sectors. The retail version of the product was launched earlier this year and is currently available in stores including Wal-Mart, Target and numerous grocers across the country. The retail Breakfast BREAKS product is modeled after the popular school version being used by hundreds of thousands of students across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"With obesity so pervasive among children nationwide, we are very concerned about the poor nutritional quality of so many meal choices for kids and the recent study released by the Center for Science in the Public Interest highlights an issue all parents across the country should take notice of," says Gary Davis, CEO of East Side Entr&amp;#233;es and creator of Breakfast BREAKS. "We are committed to doing all we can to combat these disturbing statistics by offering our trademark nutritious meals for children and by educating Americans on the vital importance of starting the day with a balanced breakfast."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to the CSPI study, ninety-three percent of 1,474 meal choices for kids at 13 leading national restaurant chains top 430 calories, the amount the Institute of Medicine recommends as one third of the total number of calories children aged four through eight should consume in one day. The group singled out several particularly unhealthy examples of meal options that are available at major chain restaurants across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The retail version of Breakfast BREAKS is comprised of a convenient single-serve box that contains a Bowl Pack™ cereal from General Mills, a 100% fruit juice box from Minute Maid&amp;#174;, a division of The Coca-Cola Company, a nutritious snack, and utensils.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In 2007, ESE Foods introduced to school foodservice programs its "Gold Star" Breakfast BREAKS to help offset the growing concern about poor nutrition and help foodservice directors more easily identify meals that are nutritionally superior. "Gold Star" Breakfast BREAKS include eight grab-and-go varieties with greater nutritional value than competing products because they fall below the USDA's nutritional guidelines for the maximum recommended cholesterol levels and percentage of calories from fat and saturated fat.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;To qualify as "Gold Star," a Breakfast BREAKS school foodservice kit must provide: &lt;br/&gt;
Less than 20% calories from fat Less than 5% calories from saturated fat 25g or less of sugar A good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Calcium, Riboflavin (B2) and Niacin (B3) An excellent source of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Iron and Thiamine (B1)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;To provide an additional source of nutrients, "Gold Star" Breakfast BREAKS also include "Minute Maid Kids + 100% Juice," a juice fortified with Vitamin A, B1, B6, C, E and calcium that is not available in competing breakfast kits.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Breakfast BREAKS also recently teamed up with teen music sensation the Jonas Brothers to spread the word about the many benefits of eating breakfast and the availability of the product both in retail and school foodservice versions. The band is featured on specially marked Breakfast BREAKS boxes.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In 2005, ESE Foods' parent company, East Side Entr&amp;#233;es, developed Breakfast BREAKS for schools in response to the startling fact that millions of children across America who are eligible for a free or reduced-price breakfast through the national School Breakfast Program were still not receiving them. Out of 55 million children who attend school in the United States, 30 million eat federally funded lunch at school, yet only 9.6 million eat federally funded breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The school version of Breakfast BREAKS was an instant hit, helping thousands of schools overcome obstacles that prevented them from serving breakfast because the kits required no heating or refrigeration, could be served quickly with little staffing and contained quality branded products that kids love to eat. Studies prove that a healthy breakfast improves a child's overall health, raises test scores, and improves academic performance. When served with milk, Breakfast BREAKS offers a fun, nutritious and convenient option for parents, educators and children.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In the first year alone, Breakfast BREAKS were purchased by schools in more than 40 states, helping them serve hundreds of thousands of kids a nutritious breakfast. In response to an overwhelming request from parents to have the Breakfast BREAKS product available for home use, the company developed the new retail version and launched it this year.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;About ESE Foods &lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Coheso, Inc. has released Track3, their new handheld electronic diabetes planner for people with diabetes. Track3 is a portable diabetes logbook that can be conveniently carried in a purse or pocket. Track3 makes diabetes self management easy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pleasanton, CA (PRWEB) June 5, 2006&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Coheso, Inc. has released Track3, their new handheld electronic diabetes planner for people with diabetes. Keeping track of glucose levels, medications, activities, and food intake is crucial to the well being of people with diabetes, but until now this has been a cumbersome task. Track3 is a portable diabetes logbook that can be conveniently carried in a purse or in a jacket pocket. Its logbook functions can be used to track food intake, blood glucose levels, exercise, insulin and medications. In addition to the logging functions, Track3 allows instant access to complete up-to-date nutritional information on over 35,000 different food items, including the food in over 250 restaurants.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“One of the exciting developments in diabetes self management is that new tools are being developed to help make day to day management easier and tailored to the individual. Track3 is one of those tools. It is versatile and can be used in different ways by different people based on their own needs” says Candyce Roberts M. S, R. N, CDE, a Certified Diabetes Educator.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In addition to being customizable to meet individual’s unique needs, Track 3 is a snap to use. With the ability to hold up to twelve month’s records, Track 3 will become an indispensable monitoring tool for diabetics, giving them much greater control over their health as they gain immediate and long-term insight into their food and activity choices.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“I also see it as a lifestyle coach,” says Roberts. “It has the potential to guide people to healthier food choices. And it gives instant feedback about lifestyle choices.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Health care professionals can also fine tune their patients’ goals based on accurate and detailed reports, which can be emailed or printed from a PC after connecting the Track 3 via a simple USB connection&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Users of the Track3 enjoy being able to create their own list of “favorite food items” and adding new food items. “A number of times when I went out to eat I had no idea how many calories and/or carbs I was consuming, information vital for me to do the fine act of balancing my insulin and glucose levels” says Ratna Nirkondar founder of Coheso, Inc. Nirkondar’s own struggle with diabetes management inspired her to start Coheso. Track3 is available on their website, http://www. coheso. com (http://www. coheso. com)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;About Coheso Inc.:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MUSCLEPRIME is a cutting-edge pre-workout formula which primes your mind and body for the workout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) January 9, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

MUSCLEPRIME™ literally primes both mind and body to amplify both workout intensity and the results, so limited time to go to the gym can be turned into impressive results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shane Marlow of San Diego combines his Internet marketing skills with his conviction in whole food nutrition and launches Nutritional Supplements company, Nutritional-Life. com.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 7, 2006&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Internet marketing guru Shane Marlow of San Diego has combined his Internet marketing savvy with his passion for nutrition, bringing a unique line of food supplements to the world wide web. As a long-time organic food consumer himself, Marlow has found a niche in the market, offering whole foods in supplement form as opposed to the ubiquitous vitamin supplements that have long dominated the alternative health care field.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Marlow said, "Marketing vitamins, minerals and multivitamins is certainly nothing new. However, my research in the nutrition field revealed the fact that vitamins are not foods. At best they are parts of foods, but at worst they are synthetic -- chemicals made in a laboratory. This is why I began marketing NutriPlex Formulas' whole food concentrates. The supplements are nutritionally rich, whole, raw foods that can be taken in tablet or powder form to address all sorts of nutritional deficiencies and health needs."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Marlow launched his new website, www. nutritional-life. com, this month not only to provide his whole food formulas to the already burgeoning natural health care market, but also to provide much-needed information on a wide array of health issues. There’s little doubt that Marlow is onto something big as The Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) reported retail sales within the U. S. of consumer packaged goods for the health and wellness industry reaching $79 billion in 2005. (organicconsumers. org)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Frankly," said Marlow, "there is an incredible amount of misinformation and baseless information floating about the web regarding 'alternative' healing methods. My goal is to continue to provide information and products that are founded on sound scientific research from leading food science researchers and major university studies coming out of Harvard, Tufts and other esteemed institutions. Their research continues to support prove that Nature's whole, unaltered foods have the capacity to heal and prevent illnesses ranging from cancer to diabetes."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Nutritional-life. com’s products are either organic or wild crafted and are designed to improve overall health. This is extremely important to the growing numbers of consumers demanding chemical-free and unadulterated foods. Taking chemical vitamins, said Marlow, makes no sense in today’s world where people are looking to natural foods and organics for the source of their nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Marlow explains that the philosophy of Whole Food Nutrition is to provide the body what it needs to maintain and improve health and he speaks from experience. Several years back Marlow broke his femur while bike riding. This very serious, and unusual accident, caused a ripple of health issues. He had to go through several years of searching till he found nutrition to assist in recovery from stress and pain drug side effects. He found what he was looking for in NutriPlex Formula’s whole food supplements.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;He said, “It just doesn’t make any sense to think that we can help our body by consuming more and more chemicals. The human body -- especially the liver -- just isn't designed to deal with foreign substances. Drugs cause a toxic overload, but the ever present chemical vitamins have their side effects too. When you understand that only whole foods address the needs of the whole body, then you begin to look for foods instead of chemicals for healing, prevention and energy.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Nutritional-life. com is growing rapidly (the company garnered sales the first day the website was officially launched) and the site keeps adding more and more content. On a regular basis advice, formulas, and recommendations are posted. “Our goal is to be the absolute best at providing information and products for truly natural whole food nutrition, Marlow said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Earl Mindell will be a key note speaker at a Health &amp;amp; Wellness Event taking place on September 25th and will pre-release his new book &amp;quot;The Nutrition Bible&amp;quot; accompanied by a book signing for the attendees of the event.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wilmington, NC (Vocus) September 16, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Mindell will be the key note speaker at a Health and Wellness conference being held in Orlando, Florida by Dr. David Friedman, host of To Your Good Health Radio and formulator of a nutritional supplement line. At the event, Dr. Mindell will pre-release his much anticipated new book, “The Nutrition Bible”, scheduled to hit bookstores in later this Fall.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Mindell has authored 54 books, &amp;quot;The Herb Bible,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Natural Remedies for 150 Ailments,&amp;quot; and one of the best selling health and nutrition books of all time, the international best-seller &amp;quot;The Vitamin Bible&amp;quot;, which has been translated in 33 languages and has sold over 11 million copies. He's appeared on many syndicated radio and TV shows including Oprah, David Letterman, Regis and most recently, To Your Good Health Radio show.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;His new book “The Nutrition Bible,” is making waves in the health and wellness industry as the book, that introduces the controversial word “ Diabesity”, a combination of the nation’s two biggest health concerns, obesity and diabetes. Dr. Mindell explains “Obesity accounts for 30% of The United States population and “Diabesity” is so out of control that it is going to be the cause of an early demise of the population in the next 20 -30 years if we don’t take control of our health today”. He also says, “ One third of all children are overweight. This has become such a problem that the next generation will be the first to have a shorter life expectancy than other generations before them. Healthy eating (NOT DIETING) is imperative to changing these statistics. Those parents that continue to feed their children Happy Meals, I suggest giving them the container it comes in for lunch rather than the actual meal… it’s healthier for them.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Given this, the timing couldn’t be better for Dr. Mindell to release his book “The Nutrition Bible”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most suddenly occuring heart attacks are caused by Drug Resistant Candida, moving into the blood stream from an infected tooth. Cancers, tumors, and many of the "gene-related diseases" are caused by the DNA modules (i. e., plasmid DNA) that has become active after being passed into a given cell, from an unseen, drug-resistant bacteria. These findings were achieved by way of an extensive, epistemological study.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) November 6, 2003&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB0 November 4 2003--This is a two part report on drug resistant bacteria, as the hidden cause of heart attacks, strokes, cancers, tumors and other gene related diseases. I believe all these diseases are explained in this brief essay, and this information needs to be somehow placed on the Internet, and in front of the rest of the world where it might be read by someone like Bj&amp;#195;&amp;#182;rn Nordenstr&amp;#195;&amp;#182;m, M. D., Ph. D., (former chairman of the Department of Radiology at Karolinska Hospital and chairman of the selection committee that picks the Nobel Laureate for Physiology of Medicine.)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Part I. These facts explains how drugs and various DNA transferring bacteria act as the major cause of heart attacks, strokes, and many cancers, gene related diseases. Primarily &amp;#194; any of these diseases are known to emerge following exposure to a chemical, carcinogen, drug, or sometimes, even after eating a certain food which induces an upset of the normal ecological balance of the intestinal flora. In reality, heavy smoking, or any of the above can commonly results in a general suppression of the hosts immune system.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; First, the data on drug-resistant Candida and how it happens to be the number one killer, in that, it causes a great majority of the unexpected heart attacks and strokes. As you may already know, exposure to various environmental toxins often causes people to become susceptible to Candida; the organism wasn&amp;#194;t even known until the early 1990&amp;#194;s, and it is still being ignored by most individuals in the medical field because they simply don&amp;#194;t know what to do to stop it. Frankly, chemicals, food additives, and poor nutrition enable Candida to thrive. This type of bacteria is also able to transform itself, growing root-like, rhizoid like legs and producing toxins that further lower a person&amp;#194;s immunity. In other words there are many things that can (and usually do) result in Candida overgrowth. More specifically, cortisone, prednisone, and other steroid-type drugs are known to cause the opportunistic Candida to thrive. There are times when these drugs, and other drugs and chemicals, paralyze the body&amp;#194;s defense systems, just as birth control pills and various estrogens are known to upset hormonal balances within the body, and thereby these factors also contribute to the abnormal growth of excessive Candida. (Note: some bacteria in the Clostridium family also break down fats into the minor estrogens, otherwise known as &amp;#194;impeded estrogens.&amp;#194;)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; There are also various contributing factors such as the western diet being typically high in sugar and other refined carbohydrates; that alone has already produced an entire generation of overweight people. The excessive weight is largely due to the growth of drug-resistant Candida and other high-energy, drug-resistant bacterium. The Candida in particular, are capable of producing so many toxins that they simply overwhelm the adrenal gland operations. The result is &amp;#194;no energy&amp;#194; or &amp;#194;low energy&amp;#194; people, who can only find temporary relief from the Candida, by frequently stuffing themselves with all kinds of food! Candida are also known to &amp;#194;impair immune functioning by directly and negatively impacting the helper-suppresser ratio of T lymphocytes,&amp;#194; (according to Charles R. Caulfield in his article "Natural Therapies For Candidiasis Infections&amp;#194; in the San Francisco Sentinel, August 27, 1992.)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Everyone should be made aware of the fact that when it begins to emerges in ever increasing numbers in your body, this organism (Candida) progressively spreads out from the lower bowel to colonize the entire digestive tract, successively including the stomach, (especially in cases of low or no stomach acid) and from there it will spread into the throat, mouth, and even the nasal passages. It can even get into your eyes. When it does, it can cause blindness to occur. Once it moves into the throat and/or mouth, these ultra tiny microorganisms may even move down into the lungs. They are drug resistant, meaning, they can exchange DNA so upon reaching the lungs they emerge as Candida spp. a frequent asymptomatic colonizer of the upper respiratory tract, and especially well know for their ability to emerge among hospitalized patients. Or, these same microbes may emerge as primary Candida pneumonia, &amp;#194;life-threatening in patients with cancer since it directly contributed to the death of 84% of the patients,&amp;#194; in one study of a series of patients. (Medicine (Baltimore), 1993 May;72(3):137-42; PMID: 8502166.)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The all important part for you to note - in those individuals where an infected tooth or periodontal disease is present, the candida may move into the mouth and then, directly into the blood stream. Then the Candida readily attached to the plaque deposits in the arteries of the heart - this is how it often causes a fatal heart attack! As soon as it transforms and begins to put down its budding rhizoids, the finger-like roots break up plaque deposits that have been building up over the years and years. That causes a rapidly forming mass in a given artery, and most persons are overwhelmed by the rapidly occurring injury that results. I believe this rather clearly and simply explains why the incidence of heart disease is about twice as high in people with periodontal (gum) disease. It also explains how years and years of plaque build up, can be quite suddenly acted upon, and subsequently, in only a day or two it is quite readily "broken up" inside an artery. Until this explanation came along, however, no plausible cause had ever been suggested. Other recent studies have indicated however, that the most common strain of bacteria in dental plaque also causes blood clots. So the all important thing is the rhizoid forming Candida that escape into the blood stream, and not the blood clots around a tooth.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The big "missing factor" in all this is Co enzyme Q10. If everyone with dental problems was actually taking Co enzyme Q10, they wouldn't have "bleeding gums." Q10 shuts down all periodontal diseases and it rapidly strengthens the heart at the same time. When my own father had a heart attack in 1985 or so, 90% of those heart patients consistently died within a month as a result of the congestive heart failure that frequently develops. I put him on Co enzyme Q10, AM and with lunch. In less than 30 days his heart was back to absolutely normal, 100% restored! The average recovery rate, right now, for patients who have congestive heart problems - and they are taking Co enzyme Q10 - is very close to 100% in a time span of only 30 days! Unfortunately, if you're one of those persons whose doctor doesn't know about Coenzyme Q10 and the heart - you probably won't live long enough for him to tell you about it, unless you order it and start taking it on your own! Likewise, if you've got an infected tooth or periodontal diseases, along with Candida, the plain facts are that the chances go up and up for you getting a heart attack, each time you take a much needed nap, or lie down to sleep, simply because that's when the Candida are able to move up, more readily. Incidentally, many persons experience their first heart attack, immediately following their being confined to bed for a week or so, such as immediately following a cold. Medical researchers have been recently searching for various antigenic factors coming up, just prior to the heart attacks, and they have even concluded that having the flu bug, may frequently lead to heart attacks! In contrast, the probability is far, far greater, that the most common cause of heart attacks is still those blasted little, drug-resistant Candida - simply because are being prompted to grow and grow at an even far greater rate(!) when any given patient is given almost any form of flu fighting antibiotic drugs!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; The unseen relationship between increased heart attacks, candida and an infected tooth or periodontal diseases and other heart illnesses is also neatly explained in terms of the overt facts of history. In the not too distant past, the lessons of medical history show that while no one in previous generations had the ability to explain how great numbers of candida were what caused the toxins of &amp;#194;severe heartburn,&amp;#194; everyone was nevertheless were very much aware that &amp;#194;severe heart burn&amp;#194; frequently graduated to - &amp;#194;fatal heartburn!&amp;#194; Other researchers have also found that similar infections with Cytomegalovirus (CMV), (a usually dormant virus that can cause mononucleosis,) is associated with a higher risk of heart attacks or strokes. As I have mentioned, some claim it's because of the flu virus. Other have found that infections with more than one of several common disease-causing germs can also increase the risk for heart attacks and strokes. They think people who had one or more of CMV, Chlamydia pneumonia (respiratory infections), Helicobacter pylori (ulcers), and hepatitis A (a liver disease,) were also at increased risk for heart attacks. Thus, people exposed to all four pathogens had a higher risk compared with those exposed to just one of the four! I must still contend that no one previously grasped the fact that heart attacks and strokes are mainly due to the sudden presence of drug resistant Candida - with its ability to transform into a cell complete with rhizoids, after entering into the blood stream. And the Candida is obviously allowed (or caused) to readily build up to tremendous proportions whenever patients are given almost any form of antibiotics or almost any other medications for any of the above! (By the way, are you aware that Helicobacter pylori are the pathogens most often found to accompany Candida, in those persons where overwhelming Candida has been found to be present!)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Part II. This leads directly to another highly debated factor of these diseases, or what is known as &amp;#194;stress factors.&amp;#194; This requires you can disconnect for a moment, from thinking about stress in terms of having Candida and H. pylori in your stomach, and they are eating you alive, while everyone is telling you "it's all in your head!" I mean, in addition to that type of &amp;#194;psychological stress,&amp;#194; or "bodily stress," I believe I can explain to you an infinitely more harmful type of stress that I see as being truly at work as part of the cause, in many other diseases. What I mean by this is that every tissue has its own set of ecological values - which match those of the environment required by some type of nearly invisible bacteria. Furthermore, when the microbes involved are high-energy, drug resistant bacteria, in those cases where infection occurs, they grow in abundance and they commonly generate their own toxic byproducts - as does Candida, H. pylori, and many other organisms. In other words the presence of these microbes at a cellular level is what truly produces the so-called &amp;#194;stress factor,&amp;#194; that no one has been able to come to grips with, or fully understand. Unfortunately, this is the way in which the knowledge of modern medicine grows. One day, everyone finally beings to understand &amp;#194;the real cause of stress&amp;#194; &amp;#194; and how or why it emerges at a basic cellular level, or at a basic "tissue level," and all of a sudden everybody begins to realize that regardless of what tissue may become &amp;#194;infected,&amp;#194; or cancerous, it&amp;#194;s a very common bacteriological mechanism!&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Why doesn't everyone know about all this? The answer is simply because no one has ever previously realized that all the "stress originating" cancers and the other &amp;#194;drug resistant diseases&amp;#194; can be viewed as a class - once one understands how they are caused by a specific class of very small bacteria which are able to transfer DNA into a living cell. These findings were achieved through a great deal of study, and patient epistemological investigation. Another real part of the overall problem has always been that these "stress causing" microorganisms are in fact, very difficult to see and seemingly impossible to isolate, because: a) the drug resistant strains are of an incredibly small in size, and the transferable DNA&amp;#194;s that they exchange among themselves, or with other cells, are in fact, far, far smaller; b) typically, they are able to leave their ultra tiny, transferable DNA packets behind (now known as DNA plasmids) &amp;#194; all of which is readily proven by way of the initial controversy surrounding the discovery that they can only be seen by way of using an electron microscope accompanied by &amp;#194;metal staining techniques;&amp;#194; c) the presence of the unseen yet transferable DNA packets, (identifiable only by using an electron microscope and metal staining techniques,) actually explains why cancers and a large group of other drug resistant diseases reoccur so rapidly; d) the involvement of transferable packets of DNA modules also explains why this class of diseases (i. e., Cancers and The DNA Transfer Diseases,) are so difficult to medicate or otherwise eliminate; e) the drug-resistant bacteria that causes The DNA Transfer Diseases, typically grow very slowly under laboratory conditions, i. e., far to slowly to be readily recognized and/or discovered by using ordinary laboratory techniques; f) these organisms can change or shift from one phase to another when being isolated in the laboratory, and most of these DNA transferring, drug resistant species will only grow at or near 37 degree C, (or only at average body temperature,) g) any cooler temperatures or normal atmospheric oxygen will readily prohibit the proper drug-resistant phase from being cultured and/or otherwise detected; h) they will NOT grow in any normal laboratory where they are routinely exposed to normal atmospheric oxygen, i) and they tend to only grow and reproduce (at normal body temperatures) and their reproductive activities are mostly present, only when oxygen levels are low.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; In addition to the evidences that are readily available showing the existence of the transferable packets of DNA by electronic microscope and metal staining techniques, all cancers and tumors can be neatly categorized and otherwise explained in terms their being either: 1) tumors, which usually grow very slowly and result from a DNA packet without any transformation module(s), so they will only replicate within a given, narrow range of activity &amp;#194; and characteristically produce only some very limited variation of the same cell, over and over again; or 2) neoplastic cancers, the result of a transferable DNA packet that has the DNA modules within it to readily change or transform the DNA, so as to produce variable cell features, and they thereby replicate along a very broad range of activity, which includes the ability to self-transfer, better known as metastasis; and 3) hormone sensitive cancers, which are driven by a transferable DNA packet (as above,) that also contain their own form of normal hormonal features. Hence, the importance of the previous note that some bacteria in the Clostridium family break down fats into the minor estrogens, otherwise known as &amp;#194;impeded estrogens.&amp;#194; In other words, the characteristic features that surround the production of various impeded estrogens in many breast cancers are all explained when the otherwise foreign DNA from a drug-resistant Clostridium gains entry into a breast cell. They will be operational in that area, on a monthly, periodic basis, breaking down the various milk fats that are left among the swollen breast tissue, each time the expected pregnancy does not take place. Hence, once they pass their DNA into a given breast cell that cell becomes cancerous; it rapidly divides, and the every growing mass of cells will produce the minor estrogens forms known mainly as the &amp;#194;impeded estrogens.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Their growth conditions for this type of bacteria are so extreme, however, that one such cancer causing, DNA transferring bacteria that has already been found, and it turned out to be so unusual that they in some ways approximate the growth conditions of Campylobacter. After more than a year of patient investigation, when researchers had attempted time and time again to isolate one such microorganism, often found to be closely associated with Candida, they only succeeded when cultures were inadvertently left evidently in a sun warmed incubator, or apparently in a non-air conditioned laboratory, for a period of 6 days over the Easter holidays! This chance prolongation of temperatures and the incubation period (from the usual 2 days to 6 days!) resulted in the successful growth and isolation of a microorganism. (see Lynch, Nancy A., &amp;#194;Helicobacter pylori and Ulcers: a Paradigm Revised," University of Iowa College of Medicine, Dept of Pathology.)&amp;nbsp;I believe it to also be the organism once described in 1925 in The British Medical Journal, as being &amp;#194;obtained almost constantly from cancers,&amp;#194; and that same bacteria is now better known as Helicobacter pylori. In 1925, James Young wrote on it (at a time when stomach cancers were the most active of cancers. . .) &amp;#194;Of all the diseases of man cancer has probably the most unique features; it has little direct contact at any point with other morbid processes, and, for that reason, analogy is of small positive help in a search for the cause. The essential fact which marks it off, is that, beginning in the proliferation of a small group of cells, it ends, when running its ordinary course, as a myriad host of anarchic cells destroying by direct inroad the healthy surroundings and burrowing often into the springs of life itself. Any class of cells in the body may be seized with this tragic impetus, and, according to their site of origin, so will the cancer differ in structure and, it may be, in deadliness; but in all, no matter what the origin, the same unique features dominate the process, in all we have a plague of riotous, cells spreading as a blight without control or cessation.&amp;#194; (Young, James, &amp;#194;A New Outlook On Cancer,&amp;#194; The British Medical Journal, Jan. 10, 1925, pages 60-64.)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Young also wrote one other, highly important note. He stated: &amp;#194;One of the most important positive facts in regard to the etiology of cancer acquired within recent years concerns the role played by chronic irritation. The experimental production of cancer in animals by the exposure of the skin to' chemical irritants, of which there are now several, has lifted a long established clinical observation into the realm of proved laboratory fact. It can now be claimed with certainty that cancer can be induced by factors which vary as greatly in their nature as do tar, soot, arsenic, x rays, heat, etc. By some, these isolated and distinct irritant influences have been adduced as necessarily so many direct &amp;#194;causes&amp;#194; of this unique process. To many who have followed the specious arguments which have sometimes been advanced in support of this extraordinary claim it must come as a surprise that even distinguished observers may be negligent of the warning lessons of medical history. Sixty years ago to claim that the specific disease, phthisis (i. e., tuberculosis) of the lungs, had a multiplicity of direct causes was in keeping with - the knowledge of the, period. Thus it was believed that the inflammation of a bronchitis, the irritation of the inhaled fragments of stone with which the mason worked, etc., were each one a direct "cause" of pulmonary phthisis, and that there were many other causes as well-for example, heredity, unhealthy environment, etc. Time has shown that the greatly differing direct irritants and the other indirect agencies operate in one common way - by increasing cell and tissue susceptibility to the one common factor, the tubercle bacillus. In many other cases the history of medical progress has shown that, where several causes have been advanced to account for a disease, these have proved to be nothing more than factors preceding, and predisposing to, the single common agent.&amp;#194; (Young, James, &amp;#194;A New Outlook On Cancer,&amp;#194; The British Medical Journal, Jan. 10, 1925, page 65.)&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; Indeed, it is the same story today! When it comes to stomach cancers, there is supposedly a whole list of things that cause ulcers and stomach cancers, and it all turns out to be caused by the transfer of DNA from the drug-resistant Helicobacter pylori bacteria. When tested for their cancer causing properties, researchers used the 20-year old archived blood samples of patients in a large sample who had eventually developed gastric malignancy were tested for antibodies to H. pylori, and then they compared that to samples of an otherwise similar, but cancer free control group. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that those infected with H. pylori at the time the blood was collected were up to six times more likely to have subsequently developed a malignancy. At that point, the connection of H pylori to stomach cancer became so certain that the World Health Organization International Agency for Research in Cancer classified it as a class I carcinogen. (Lynch, Nancy A., &amp;#194;Helicobacter pylori and Ulcers: a Paradigm Revised, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Dept of Pathology.) Another way to put it, at one time, before the process of homogenization was invented, stomach cancers were so prevalent that they were the leading cause of death in America. It is fairly obvious at this point that the milk fats in some instances actually contained DNA transferring bacteria from the Clostridium family &amp;#194; and the transferable DNA from these milk fat bacteria were what was causing the stomach cancers. In other words, stomach cancers narrowed down to being caused only by H. pylori, more than 40 years ago, after homogenization put an end to what was once the most deadly disease in America.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; After that, then smoking became the number one killer &amp;#194; which leads to the conclusion that even this disease is actually caused by a very similar type of DNA transferring, drug resistant bacteria. These bacteria commonly grow and inhabit the major air ways, where it tend to often transfer its DNA into the same type of cells lining certain frequently damaged tissues within the smoker's lungs.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; And what about those persons who do not smoke, but they are subjected to second hand smoke? Incredibly, the transferable DNA&amp;#194;s that causes the lung cancers are so vastly small, that they could be easily carried about or transferred on nothing more than a tiny smoke particle! And what about those smokers who smoke and smoke and smoke, and they seem to never get sick? Those persons are extremely fortunate or just plain lucky in that, there was a time when they too became infected, but their immune system caught it in time, set up the proper antibodies, and they will never be sick with this form of cancer. Are they then, &amp;#194;carriers&amp;#194; of the cancer causing drug resistant bacteria? There is every probability that they actually are a &amp;#194;carrier,&amp;#194; just as surely as any person may actually become a &amp;#194;carrier&amp;#194; of TB.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In conclusion, just as stomach cancers were discovered to be caused by drug resistant Helicobacter pylori, the fact is that H. pylori IS AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT BACTERIA TO ISOLATE AND DECTECT &amp;#194; YET IT HAS THE ABILITY TO TRANFER DNA - which is known to result in rapidly growing, drug-resistant, stomach malignancies, etc., Hence, this points to the fact that there are, of course, other drug resistant bacteria WITH THIS VERY SAME ABILITY TO TRANSFER DNA,&amp;#194; which are responsible for the many other cancers and tumors. In other words, to briefly paraphrase what was once observed by James Young, several causes have been advanced to account for the various tissues in which the disease of cancer emerges, and all those have proved to be nothing more than factors preceding, and predisposing to, a single common agent &amp;#194; the transfer of DNA into a cell from a drug resistant bacteria. Hence, cancers and tumors are caused by the DNA modules (i. e., plasmid DNA) that has become active after being passed into a cell, from a drug-resistant bacteria.&amp;#194; In brief, this also means that every oncogene now listed by various scientists around the world, is actually composed of one of these little packets of transferable DNA&amp;#194;s, and that cell-directing material is simply being integrated into a given cell, once that particular cell divides. To be strictly scientific, this explains each oncogene whether it refers to a cancer causing oncogene or not. When the cell becomes cancerous, nowadays the researchers say that the cell&amp;#194;s genes are &amp;#194;potentially oncogenes&amp;#194; and the term has thus shifted to protooncogenes. It doesn't matter what it&amp;#194;s called, simply put, the transfer of drug resistant DNA causes the cells genes to become cancerous &amp;#194; by causing any of a variety of changes, such as over-expression, under-expression, mutation, inactivation, differing substrates, different affinity for substrate, etc. and so this identifies were all the various oncogenes come from. In other words, every tissue has its&amp;#194; own ecological values - which match those of the environment required by certain strains of the various types of DNA transferring bacteria, and this is the basic cause of cancers, tumors, and each of a long list of other, gene related diseases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Mulago Positive Women's Network (MPWN) of Uganda proudly announce the latest additions to their very popular line of authentically created African handicrafts for the upcoming Holiday Season. The sale of all MPWN craft items help to raise much-needed funds in support of families living with HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty in Uganda. The money raised by the sale of the MPWN's handmade craft items will be used by these families to educate their children and provide them with additional nutritional support. The MPWN has been lauded for the quality of their African craft items and for the reasonable prices of their handicrafts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Austin, Texas (PRWEB) July 31, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Mulago Positive Women's Network of Uganda (www. mpwn-uganda. org) announces the latest additions to their very popular line of authentically African handicrafts for the upcoming Holiday Season. Included will be handmade greeting cards, "paper bead" jewelry (necklaces and bracelets) and wooden African animal statues - carved and painted by the teenaged children of the women of the MPWN.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In the first two years of its existence, the MPWN website has sold over $15,000 in MPWN craft items with ALL the money raised going directly back to the women who make the items. This year, with the addition of these exciting new items, the MPWN website hopes to raise at least $5,000 during the 2010 Holiday Season.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;BACKGROUND&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Mulago Positive Women's Network (MPWN) was started in January 2004 to address the special needs of HIV+ women in Uganda. Based in Kampala Uganda, the MPWN functions as a support network to assist its members in "living positively" with HIV/AIDS. The MPWN is affiliated with TASO Uganda (The AIDS Support Organization of Uganda -- www. tasouganda. org) - one of the longest established and most prestigious African-initiated AIDS organizations in the continent.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Agnes Nyamayarwo is the founder and main facilitator of the Mulago Positive Women's Network. She has often been referred to by Bono (U2) as one of the "heroes" of the AIDS pandemic in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In 2002, during a trip to Africa, Bono visited with several members of TASO Uganda, including Agnes, and was inspired by her personal dignity and courage in her struggle with HIV/AIDS.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Agnes would become a main speaker on the "Heart of America" tour with Bono in December 2002 which launched DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa -- www. data. org). Agnes also became a main spokesperson for ONE, the Campaign to Make Poverty History (www. one. org) where she continues to this day to advocate on behalf of the world's poorest people.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Bono continues his activities for Africa through ONE as well as through (RED) (www. joinred. com) and EDUN (www. edun. com).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;CURRENT ACTIVITIES&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The MPWN's "UNITED FOR UGANDA" program began in February 2009 and has proven to be a very successful way to raise awareness of the HIV/AIDS situation in Africa while providing additional financial support to the women of the MPWN through the slae of their handmade African craft items.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The "United 4 Uganda" Program (http://www. prweb. com/releases/2009/02/prweb2150854.htm (http://www. prweb. com/releases/2009/02/prweb2150854.htm)) is a co-ordinated effort by concerned individuals and organizations to provide increased economic support to the women of the Mulago Positive Women's Network (MPWN) of Uganda. The effort is spearheaded by those involved with the website of the MPWN (www. mpwn-uganda. org) and includes active participation by involving supporters to directly get involved in fundraising efforts for the MPWN. The name of the program ("United 4 Uganda") is a natural extension of the slogan used for years by the MPWN's sponsoring organization, TASO Uganda. That slogan is "United Against AIDS".&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;All the money raised on behalf of the MPWN is used by the women to send their children to school and to provide additional nutritional support for them. But as the need is great in Uganda, the "UNITED 4 UGANDA" program provides an essential service to the women of the MPWN by allowing them an opportunity to reach a worldwide audience with their message of "living positively" with HIV/AIDS along with an "online marketplace" to sell their uniquely handmade African crafts.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The latest additions to the MPWN "online marketplace" (as mentioned above and as shown in the pictures to the right) will become a part of our "UNITED FOR UGANDA" kits.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Agnes Nyamayarwo has recently been interviewed by two leading social awareness websites regarding her life as a leading AIDS activist in Africa and regarding her longtime friendship / AIDS advocacy with Bono.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;These two interviews were conducted by the "Positively Aware" website in their Jan/Feb edition (http://positivelyaware. com/2010/10_01/agnes_nyamayarwo. shtml (http://positivelyaware. com/2010/10_01/agnes_nyamayarwo. shtml)) and by Change. org in March - http://globalpoverty. change. orgblogviewmeet_agnes_nyamayarwo_the_woman_who_inspired_bono (http://globalpoverty. change. orgblogviewmeet_agnes_nyamayarwo_the_woman_who_inspired_bono)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Food Bank for Westchester, which is celebrating its 20th year of fighting hunger in Westchester, will host An Evening in Good Taste, to help end childhood hunger in Westchester County. The event will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2009, from 6 p. m. until 9 p. m. at 1133 Westchester Avenue, White Plains. The event's Title Sponsor is Entergy and Host Sponsor is RPW Group.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Millwood, NY (PRWEB) September 23, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Food Bank for Westchester, which is celebrating its 20th year of fighting hunger in Westchester, will host An Evening in Good Taste, to help end childhood hunger in Westchester County. The event will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2009, from 6 p. m. until 9 p. m. at 1133 Westchester Avenue, White Plains. The event's Title Sponsor is Entergy and Host Sponsor is RPW Group.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;An Evening in Good Taste will showcase the culinary talents of Westchester County chefs representing the following restaurants: &lt;br/&gt;
80 West, White Plains Abigail Kirsch, Tarrytown AJs Burgers &amp; America's Favorite Foods, New Rochelle Bedford Post, Bedford Cellar 49, Tarrytown Connie's Bakery &amp; General Store, Mt. Kisco f. i.s. h., Port Chester Longford's Own Made Ice Cream, Port Chester Lulu Cake Boutique, Scarsdale Morton's The Steak House, White Plains Mount Kisco Seafood, Mt. Kisco The Fish Cellar Restaurant, Mt. Kisco Myong Private Label Gourmet, Mt. Kisco Sam's of Gedney Way, White Plains Sonora, Port Chester Sunset Cove Restaurant, Tarrytown Susan Lawrence Gourmet Foods, Chappaqua Tarry Lodge, Port Chester The Atrium, Purchase The Gourmet Taste, Rye Brook The Great American BBQ, White Plains Zuppa Restaurant, Yonkers&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The evening will also include "Incredible New Edibles," which will showcase the area's unique artisan/boutique foods and wines; a silent auction with sports memorabilia, tickets to Broadway shows, meals at Westchester's fine restaurants; live music; and more.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In Westchester County, twenty percent of residents are hungry or at risk of hunger. Of that population, 36% are children.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Today, more than ever, children are at risk of hunger because of the economy. We have seen the direct effect of an increased unemployment rate here, as parents are struggling to put food on their tables. For every dollar donated to the Food Bank, we can purchase $4 worth of nutritious food to feed a hungry child. Every bit helps," said Christina Rohatynskyj, Executive Director for the Food Bank for Westchester.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A recent study released by Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization, entitled Child Food Insecurity: The Economic Impact on Our Nation, details the effects of food insecurity on the health, growth and development of the more than 12 million food insecure children in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The study reported that hunger may permanently affect the development of mental, emotional, physical and social skills necessary for work and career in adulthood and that hungry children are more susceptible to illness and hospitalized more often than children who are not hungry. It also reported that undernutrition damages the physical and emotional development of a child.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Food Bank for Westchester, one of eight food banks in New York State, acquires, warehouses and distributes food to 200 Westchester County hunger relief organizations, including food pantries and soup kitchens, among others. These efforts feed some or all of the 200,000 people in Westchester who are hungry or at risk of hunger. The Food Bank mission is supported by an extensive donor and volunteer network.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Tickets, which cost $175 in advance and $200 at the door, can be purchased from the Food Bank by calling 914-923-1100. Sponsorships are still available. The sponsorship application is available at the Food Bank website at www. foodbankforwestchester. org.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For additional information, contact the Food Bank at 914-923-1100. The Food Bank for Westchester is located at 358 Saw Mill River Road, Millwood, NY 10546.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;About the Food Bank for Westchester: The Food Bank for Westchester's mission is to lead, engage and educate Westchester County in creating a hunger-free environment. It solicits and administers donations from both the public and private sector, distributing food through approximately 200 hunger relief member agencies. Its core activity is the collection and distribution of donated, government and purchased food. The Food Bank distributes more than five million pounds of food to member agencies annually.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As more and more food lovers discover how delicious and healthy they are, Mediterranean foods have boomed in popularity. And according to Meyer Futersak, marketing director for Medina Gourmet, there will soon be more than a dozen great new reasons to fall in love with Mediteranean food -&amp;#194; or to take the 'love affair' to a whole new level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lawrence, NY (PRWEB) August 20, 2005&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Medina Gourmet to Offer a New Line of &amp;#194;Deliciously Healthy&amp;#194; Mediteranean Salads, Spreads, and Dips&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Close your eyes and imagine an ancient grove of olive trees in a tiny hilltop village. . . or the sun-dazzled waves of the balmy Mediteranean Sea, as you walk along a pebbled, pristine beach that is all your own.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#194;s no doubt about it &amp;#194; the Mediteranean region abounds with natural beauty, a rich and colorful history, and great food. Tahina,&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Hummus, babbaganoush &amp;#194; the words themselves sound as spicy&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;And exotic as the foods they name.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;As more and more food lovers discover how delicious and healthy they are, Mediterranean foods have boomed in popularity. And according&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;To Meyer Futersak, marketing director for Medina Gourmet, there will soon be more than a dozen great new reasons to fall in love with Mediteranean food &amp;#194; or to take the &amp;#194;love affair&amp;#194; to a whole new level.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#194;s because, starting in September, Medina Gourmet will introduce&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A gourmet specialty line of savory Mediteranean salads, spreads, and dips. The initial product lineup includes: Artichoke and Parmesan;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Basil and Toasted Walnut Spread; Artichoke with Sun-Dried Tomato&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;And Garlic; Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus; Olive and Herb Babbganoush; Hummus and Curry; Indian Spiced Tomato and Onion Dip; Romesco (a puree of toasted almonds, green pepper, garlic, and evoo); Harisa Hummus; Moroccan Spiced Lemon Hummus; Saffron Roasted Garlic Tahina; Tzatziki; and Tunision Spiced Grilled Tomato Salad.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Attractively packaged and made with the finest all-natural ingredients,&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Medina Gourmet line will initially be targeted to gourmet shops and upscale supermarkets nationwide, Mr. Futersak said. Medina Gourmet foods contain no sweeteners or preservatives.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The &amp;#194;Mediteranean diet&amp;#194; has recently been acclaimed for its healthy nutritional value. Hummus, for example, contains no saturated fat,&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;No cholesterol or sugars and is high in protein and fiber. Unlike many foods that are good for you, however, hummus also tastes great. It is&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;An ideal food for anyone who wants to eat more sensibly, or who is&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Concerned about calories, carbohydrates, and/or cholesterol. Hummus&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Is also low in trans fats and rich in fiber, protein, Omega-3, and heart-healthy anti-oxidants.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Medina Gourmet products are very &amp;#194;meal-versatile&amp;#194; too. Use the dips with veggies for the perfect &amp;#194;anytime&amp;#194; snack. Offer any of the savory salads or spreads as a delicious side dish &amp;#194; no preparation or cooking necessary! Or use any of the spreads as a more healthy alternative to&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Other high-fat, high-calorie spreads. Anyway you use them, Medina&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Gourmet truly delivers the robust taste of the Mediteranean region,&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Hence its tagline: &amp;#194;Mediteranean made right!&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to Mr. Futersak, &amp;#194;We are 110% excited about the market potential of this premium-quality line. The initial reaction of distributors and retailers has been very encouraging.&amp;#194; Efforts to establish a national distribution network for Medina Gourmet products are now in full swing. Those interested in learning more, obtaining samples, or in placing an initial stocking order should call (718) 781-9549.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recognized as a national wellness campaign, Healthy Aging&amp;#174; Month is designed to put a spotlight on the longevity of our citizens and how they can successfully age; avoiding declines in physical, mental and emotional health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;September is Healthy Aging&amp;#174; Month, a national observance focusing attention on the positive aspects of growing older. Recognized as a national wellness campaign, Healthy Aging&amp;#174; Month is designed to put a spotlight on the longevity of our citizens and how they can successfully age; avoiding declines in physical, mental and emotional health.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Since our population is living longer, people are developing higher expectations for a better quality of life in their senior years," says Dr. Lorne S. Label, board-certified neurologist and director of the Brain Longevity Center (www. brainlc. com) in Thousand Oaks, California. "It's vital that we teach people how to keep their bodies and minds working at their full capacity."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A healthy aging program includes exercise, good nutrition, stress reduction, sufficient sleep, and avoiding obvious health hazards such as smoking.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"The medical community once thought that while the body benefited from good health choices, very little could be done to help regenerate the brain. We now know that the brain is very resilient and it is possible to keep the brain sharp and agile as one grows older," says Dr. Label.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In fact, recent cognitive research has shown that the brain can continue to renew cells throughout a person's lifetime. It doesn't matter if you are nine or ninety. You can still learn -- it may just take a little longer. New medical evidence also shows that a planned, individualized program can help slow the progression of cognitive decline and thereby increase the quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;What steps can you take to optimize your brain function? First, most things that are good for the body are good for the brain. It's also important to be socially active, maintain a positive attitude, look for the humor in life and keep learning.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Learning is the real key to maintaining good cognitive function. This means tackling new tasks and hobbies, such as taking a dance class, mastering a musical instrument, traveling to new places, trying your hand at art projects, learning a computer program or even studying a new language.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Like your body, your brain needs to be exercised frequently. Brain games and activities, sometimes called "neurobics," will engage the brain's memory, reasoning, visual spatial and information processing. These brain games should be fun and interesting, and they must be progressively more challenging -- so you have the best cognitive workout.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The bottom line is that taking charge of your wellbeing is the key to successful aging. Healthy Aging&amp;#174; Month can be a catalyst for those who have been putting off making the necessary lifestyle changes.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"It's never too late to improve your health. If you haven't had a recent medical check-up, then schedule a physical exam. The results will show the current status of your health and reveal any underlying medical concerns. This will give you a basis for creating a proactive program that you can integrate into your life. If you take these steps, you will have a healthier body and mind to enjoy your senior years to the fullest," says Dr. Label.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Brain Longevity Center was founded by Dr. Lorne S. Label in 2007. Offering traditional and integrative medical care, the Center evaluates and treats patients with memory impairment. The Center is located at 2100 Lynn Road, Suite 230, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. For more information, visit our website at www. brainlc. com or call 805-497-7274.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Healthy Aging&amp;#174; Month http://www. healthyaging. net/index. htm (http://www. healthyaging. net/index. htm) is developed, produced and marketed by the nonprofit Educational Television Network, Inc. An annual observance, the campaign is designed to focus national attention on the positive aspects of growing older.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to E-BariatricSurgery. com, there are two basic types of bariatric surgeries for weight loss: restriction procedures and malabsorption procedures. Restriction procedures reduce the size of the stomach through the use of a gastric band, staples, or both, and do not interfere with the normal digestion process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) September 17, 2005&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to E-BariatricSurgery. com, there are two basic types of bariatric surgeries for weight loss: restriction procedures and malabsorption procedures. Restriction procedures reduce the size of the stomach through the use of a gastric band, staples, or both, and do not interfere with the normal digestion process. Malabsorption procedures, on the other hand, reduce the size of the stomach and bypass duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine, and sometimes the whole of the jejunum (the mid-section of the intestines). Some bariatric procedures combine the two.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is widely accepted as the most effective surgical weight loss treatment available. During this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, reducing the size of the new pouch 90 percent, from approximately two quarts to one or two ounces. This drastic reduction limits the new stomach pouch&amp;#194;s ability to hold food, causing the patient to feel full after eating only a small amount of food. This also causes the food to bypass part of the digestive system, reducing the amount of calories the body absorbs.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;E-BariatricSurgery. com also tells us that a more extensive gastric bypass procedure calls for the removal of portions of the stomach. A small pouch remains, which is then is connected directly to the final segment of the small intestine, completely bypassing the duodenum and jejunum. Although this surgery can result in substantial weight loss, it is seldom used due to the high risk of nutritional deficiencies.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Other options include adjustable gastric banding, where the stomach is encircled with an inflatable band allows only a small portion of the stomach to be used for holding food. Patients typically achieve less weight loss with this procedure because no intestine is bypassed and there is no malabsorption, but the absence of stapling makes it the least invasive and lowers the risks involved.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kennewick, WA (PRWEB) August 16, 2006&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s not easy striking a balance between the lunch your child wants, and the lunch you want to serve them. Although most schools now offer a variety of dishes, many parents continue to pack lunch for their children.

&lt;p&gt;Fitness does not always correlate to health, as illustrated by the recent experience of a 44-year-old triathlete from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. His story highlights the growing use of home-based biological assessments by professional, endurance and weekend athletes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bend, OR (Vocus) April 29, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bioletics, a leader in home performance testing for athletes, announced today that it has identified significant biological imbalances in 100% of the endurance athletes evaluated in the past six months. Looking at eight key bio-performance factors in 100 athletes the company discovered that most had five or more biological deficiencies that were limiting their athletic potential, their overall health and general feeling of well-being.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“The longer and harder athletes push, the more likely they are to develop a biological imbalance or deficiency,” explains Coach Ben Greenfield of Pacific Elite Fitness (Spokane, WA). He adds, “With the advent of home-based assessment options, coaches are beginning to encourage athletes to re-think the relationship between their fitness and their health. It’s becoming increasingly clear that one does not necessarily lead to the other.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Fit and convinced that he was the epitome of health, Eric was logging an impressive amount of mileage day after day. He frequently did two workouts a day when training for a competitive event. At some point, however, Eric started to struggle. He was feeling tired, sore and unmotivated for no apparent reason. He hadn’t been injured or ill and he wasn’t over training. It was Coach Greenfield who suggested that he consider doing a few at-home assessments to gain some insight into what was happening on a deeper level—inside his body. Because he ate well and took a number of nutritional supplements, Eric had doubts about being evaluated. But he trusted his coach, took his advice and ended up contacting Bioletics.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;When his results came back, Eric was shocked. His vitamin D, essential amino acid and recovery hormone levels were all very low. “My results were a real wake-up call,” recalls Petersen. “No wonder I was feeling so run down.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Eric made some changes and, within six weeks, was feeling and performing better. "After following Bioletics’ corrective protocol for about twelve weeks, I did a training run on the Coeur d’Alene half marathon course. It wasn't even a race and I ended up improving my PR (personal record) at this distance by well over eight minutes." He adds, "I am amazed by how good I feel. It’s all so obvious now. If I’m going to push my body and expect it to respond, I’m going to have to tune in and take better care of it."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For additional information or to arrange for a personal interview with Ben Greenfield, Eric Peterson or a member of the Bioletics staff, please contact Jackie Cohen at #888.371.1033.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About Eric Caprarese&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Executive Director&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Eric Caprarese began Viper Marketing, Inc. over ten years ago in a small town outside of Washington, D. C. His vision was to sell high quality nutritional supplements that would positively impact the lives of people around the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About Us: About Eric Caprarese&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;President and CEO Eric Caprarese is a well known international marketer in the network marketing industry. Having been in the industry for 15 years, after starting out of a one bedroom apartment, he built an organization of over 25 thousand dealers in less then one year. Eric has joined the ranks of the top networkers in the world with marketing representatives worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Eric searched for and joined several other home based opportunities, only to have them leave him high and dry also. This forced him to get a j. o.b. (just over broke) and started Eric on a search for an opportunity that was not only exciting and growing at a great pace, but one that also met one criteria... a company that was stable and here for the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;He found this in M2C Global. A company that started with the idea in mind to provide the best products that people could purchase for the lowest price points possible so that people could start a home based business without the large cash outlay that most companies in the business require. With M2C, Eric finally had what he was looking for.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Eric is considered one of the country's most successful network marketing representative. A prolific career, which includes the raising of his 2 sons, which are a priority in his life. M2C has become the focal point of his passion for helping people create the life of their dreams. Eric's impact on the world of network marketing has raised the bar and proven that hard work and dedication to the industry can lead to a life changing experience not only for himself, but also for hundreds of thousands of people around spanning the globe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't wait for the next earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood or wildfire to strike before thinking about the safety and security of family pets. Being prepared today can make for a much better tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 13, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With constantly changing weather conditions and the reality of global warming, pets and their owners can easily become the next victims of a natural disaster. Even when people have advanced warning of these events they think, "This will not happen to me or on my property." People and pets that have shared a bad experience, and are alive to talk about it today, would give pet owners better advice - "get prepared today." Think about pet health, safety and security. Pets count on their owners in these situations because the "lucky day" plan is not the most effective plan in a crisis. As a responsible pet owner, they have access to helpful tools that their pets would probably use if they could. mypetsoft. com, a new Web-service from ORGIT Software Corporation, is now offering pet owners a free trial of the Petcare Software database application that's designed to manage all of their important pet records online.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In recent years, many temporary emergency shelters have welcomed pets into their facilities with their owners. In general, that's very cool but pet owners should assume that these facilities have some rules. Customers may need to provide current license or registration details, tags, microchip status, vaccination records, general health and nutrition information, etc., before the pets may gain access to accommodations with their owners. Users at mypetsoft. com can create and maintain comprehensive pet profiles for one, or many family pets, throughout their pet's lifetime. The reports can be viewed or edited online, emailed as a PDF document, or printed and distributed manually. Checklists can also help owners locate original documents in case they need to grab them quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;When people are faced with evacuation notices, or worse case, orders to evacuate now, they are way past the time for emergency preparation. "Experiencing the loss or separation of a pet extends beyond the immediate family," states Mike Toth, Founder. "The anxiety can last for years."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Owners shouldn't say "so what" until they check this site out. The new online Web-service at mypetsoft. com is very easy to use and full of detailed stuff that owners don't think about every day. Pet owners should be able to complete a pet profile in the same amount of time it takes them to plan for the perfect picnic with their pets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;JOEBEES(TM) is the first company to provide a 'free range' all natural bee pollen supplement. These unique bee pollen filled capsules provide 'Total Nutrition' to support every cell in the body. JOEBEES(TM) also provides an increase in energy levels, including greater stamina and overall strength.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pembroke Pines, FL (PRWEB) January 31, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The founder of JOEBEES(TM), Joe Blumenstein, (Joe B. for short), is officially releasing his JOEBEES(TM) 'free range' bee pollen product today, January 31st, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Joe B.'s inspiration was sparked when he discovered that his body and energy levels were declining after turning 50 last year. Joe B. realized his body was changing at an extremely rapid pace. He heard a news program state "that bee pollen was a good source of natural energy (http://www. joebees. com) and that it promoted overall good health." Could bee pollen be the answer?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I couldn't do all the things I did when I was 20. I still enjoy life and sports and want to stay in shape and feel good. I noticed significant changes in my appearance and how I felt. I had more stamina, more spring in my step in the morning, and now I feel as if I have a new lease on life. I'm full of energy, enjoying long stretches of stamina and stronger immune system (http://www. joebees. com/about. html). I discovered that the pollen I had been taking was 'not produced under the best environmental conditions.' This led me to search the health food and vitamin stores for pure, pristine pollen -- as the nutrients would be become absorbed by my body sooner. I couldn't find a one," says Joe B.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Joe B. realized that pollen from a sparkling clean, healthy environment would be a greater benefit to the body and when he finally found it, sure enough, he was right. Sourced the world over searching for this pure bee pollen took him to the ends of the earth. He finally wound up in Canada's North Woods, near Alaska; the purest and most pristine lands rarely traveled by man. He discovered not only the best tasting and sweetest bee pollen (http://www. joebees. com), but some of the world's most nutritious and purest pollen. The bees work free-range amongst thousands of acres of Alfalfa and Wildflowers a prime habitat, creating an amazingly pure bee pollen.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;There is also a Special Process that Joe B. discovered along the way. The Bee-Keeper rolls his pollen to break down the cell-wall to make all its minerals, vitamins and amino acids more fully available to one's system. Pollen supports every cell in the body, and that is important to know.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Joe B. wanted all his friends and family to feel as good as he did. Joe B. wanted to share the good news with his friends and family to help them feel better, build their stamina and increase their energy, so he brought this great discovery to them, and now he brings it to North America.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Joe B. expresses, "I wanted all of North America to feel as great as I do, so I put up my own money to produce this amazing 'free range' bee pollen product. In this day and age of high stress, lack of sleep, and poor nutrition, people need to feel great. What better way than to provide a 100% pure natural supplement (http://www. joebees. com/about. html), packed full of nutrition at a reasonable cost."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;JOEBEES(TM) offers these distinct benefits; &lt;br/&gt;
multi vitamin source energy stamina boosted immune sysyem 100% natural-feel great&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hollywood eatery-to-the-stars invites LA to take a bite of their specially priced lunch &amp; dinner menus during two-week event&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mani's on Fairfax, http://www. manisonfairfax. com (http://www. manisonfairfax. com)], the celebrated cafe specializing in deliciously healthy baked goods and cuisine, announced its dineLA Restaurant Week debut. The annual event introduces diners to the vast array of restaurants in neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles County for two consecutive weeks: January 27 - February 1, 2008, and February 3 - February 8, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Known for pioneering the guilt-free dessert movement with their wholesome cooking free of additives, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, Mani's is much more than just a bakery. The cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner using the same philosophy applied to its sought-after sugar-free sweets: nutritious versions of gourmet foods for the health conscious foodie.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Participating in dineLA Restaurant Week officially puts us on the culinary map," says founder and CEO Larry Maiman. "We have been taken seriously as a bakery for years and we're ready for the restaurant to get the same attention. We're excited that dineLA will introduce Mani's cuisine to a new clientele."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Encouraging Angelinos to experience all the town has to offer in culinary excellence, dineLA Restaurant Week presents a selection of specially priced, three-course menus from some of LA's best eateries. Mani's refuses to let the term "pre-fix" limit the restaurant's offerings for the two-week event. Customers will have diverse options for first, second, and third course fare, priced at only $15 for lunch and $25 for dinner. The extensive menu can be mixed and matched for infinite possibilities. Appetizers such as Mani's famous Vegetarian or Turkey Chili, fresh soup of the day or Caesar salad caters to any appetite. An endless list of entrees including Mani's burgers, gourmet salads or mouth-watering sandwiches will satisfy any craving. Icing on the cake: one of Mani's famous desserts to top off the meal.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Since 1989 Mani's on Fairfax has been satisfying discriminating palates and sweet-tooths alike. The restaurant has become a favorite for the Hollywood community and is frequently called upon by industry A-listers as the dining spot of choice. Offering a comfortable and engaging environment, the cafe is the perfect backdrop for LA dining at its best. In 2005 Mani's responded to growing customer interest by launching http://www. manisblogcafe. com (http://www. manisblogcafe. com) an educational site dedicated to offering nutritional, lifestyle and health information about Mani's cuisine. The blog also allows Mani's guests to interact with their opinions and feedback. The restaurant's uncompromising commitment to providing wholesome gourmet food made from the most high-quality ingredients has resulted in its simple motto: Good &amp; Good For You. Mani's is open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert inside the comfortable dining room or coveted outdoor patio. Sunday-Thursday 8AM-11PM, Friday-Saturday, 8AM-Midnight. Coffee and morning pastries from 6:30AM Monday-Friday, 7AM on Saturday and 7:30AM on Sundays.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alternative Treatment International (ATI) is pursuing Platinum LEED&amp;#174; certification as it plans design and construction of its new Naples facility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Naples, Fla. (PRWEB) July 24, 2006&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alternative Treatment International (ATI) is pursuing Platinum LEED&amp;#174; certification as it plans design and construction of its new Naples facility.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Located in Clearwater since 2002, ATI is a non-12-step holistic, dual diagnosis residential treatment center for alcoholism and substance abuse, psycho-emotional disorders, depression, trauma and eating disorders.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The LEED (Leadership in Energy &amp; Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary standard that designates an environmentally responsible building in the areas of sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation and design process. The ATI facility in Naples is being designed to achieve the LEED certification’s highest Platinum level, which is the ultimate achievement in Green building.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Building Green fits seamlessly with both our business philosophy and our integrated Mind-Body-Spirit-EnvironmentSM approach to treating addictions and related emotional disorders,” said Dr. Alan Meyers, ATI founder. “We’re also excited by the prospect of becoming the first Platinum LEED facility of this kind in the state, as well as the only addictions treatment program in a Platinum Certified “green” facility in the world. Our goal is to set a new and higher standard of quality of treatment in the field of addiction and mental health programming. The treatment philosophy incorporates our unique “Perception Therapy&amp;#174;” techniques to aid our clients in the healing of their Mind-Body-Spirit and Environment and to promote successful recovery”.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Meyers and partner Julia Stewart have selected GreenTime, an Orlando-based environmental consulting firm, to add their expertise to the project, along with Heilman Architecture of Altamonte Springs; Engineering and Environmental Design, Inc., of Orlando; and Davidson Engineering of Naples. Groundbreaking is expected mid - 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The new ATI facility will be constructed on a ten-acre parcel of woodlands located in Naples, Florida. Designed to provide rehabilitation services to 24 residential clients and 10 detoxification clients, ATI’s new home is being designed to blend naturally with its surroundings with minimal impact. A portion of the parcel will remain intact as “Florida Protected Wetlands” and will be used as an educational environment for clients, families and visitors from around the world”. With trails and meditation decks planned throughout the grounds, ATI will also provide a broad range of spa-like amenities and activities designed to nurture and heal its clientele. ATI’s individualized clinical therapeutic approach includes individual and group psychotherapy sessions, nutrition planning, fitness and alternative healing techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families, ATI is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers and The Florida Drug and Alcohol Association. To learn more, visit www. alternative2rehab. com.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year we imported 8 million pounds of pine nuts from seven countries. Prior to World War II, millions of pounds of domestic pine nuts were available to U. S. consumers. What happen to our own pine nut harvet?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(PRWEB) August 13, 2002&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All pine trees reproduce through creating a nut in a cone. Some of these pine nuts are tasty and nutritious - others cost more in calories to collect, than they yield. The pinenuts purchased at a grocery, could be from any one of the 28 species, grown in about 7 countries. Each species with a different, shape, texture, flavor&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;And nutritional value.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Department of Commerce reports that foreign countries ship us, 8 million pounds of pinenuts each year. China provides most of the imported nuts, with Italy, Pakistan and Portugal, each being a major exporter of pinenuts. Because the shell amounts to 25% of the shipping weight, most nuts are sold with the shells removed.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Once the shell has been removed, the nut must be preserved. Pine nuts are preserved, according to methods of the exporting country. Certain methods of preservation would not be allowed here, like the use of lye as preservative.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Unless you live in the Southwest, or are over the age of 70, chances are you have never had a fresh, unprocessed pinenut. One might compare this to never having eaten a fresh strawberry, but consuming only dried or frozen fruit. Yet, two commercial species domestic pine nuts grow wild on 47 million acres of public land.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;It is a native plant, with tremendous range, outstanding nutritional value, and highly&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Sought after in foreign countries. Why then are we importing so many pine nuts?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The politics of the cattle industry and public land grazing is the primary reason. Before the huge corporations controlled grazing leases, pinenuts were harvested by the box car load and readily available. Those were the days before the chain-saw, bull dozer, and massive herbicide treatments, the American Cattlemen&amp;#194;s&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Association and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pinyon pinenuts were a major food source sustaining the peoples in the Great Basin of the United States, in excess of 10,000 years. The soft-shelled pinyon pinenut, (p. monophylla) provided primary protein to the Shoshone, Piautes and Washo peoples, containing substantial amounts of the amino acids necessary for human growth. It was a sacred part of the way they lived. Certain treaties and Nevada laws provide harvest rights to Natives. The Native Peoples have never fought&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For those rights. The Federal Government cannot be guaranteed economic control of the pinenut harvest. Realizing cattlemen must pay the grazing fees, albeit highly subsidized corporate ranching, corporate cattle won over pinenuts, hands down.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Most public lands managers are educated as range managers, rather than foresters. Range managers see it as their self-imposed duty to create and maintain range, which can also be called pasture. Millions and millions of acres of pinyon forests were bulldozed, chained, poisoned and subjected to prescribed burning to&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Create pasture land for cattle. Beginning in the 1960 &amp;#194;s the pinyon tree were treated as a invasive weed, interfering with the forage available for cattle.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Range managers were never educated about the massive deforestation caused 1800&amp;#194;s mining industry which fueled the silver smelters with pinyon charcoal at a rates up to 450 acres per day. Nor, have they been taught that the&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;P. monophylla life cycle requires between 100 and 150 years to reach seed bearing maturity, then cones on a 5 year cycle, with three seasons required to produce the nut in the cone. Most have never read the research reports that state pinenut production potential revenues could exceed grazing revenues by 148 to 500 times&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Over. Or, that pinenuts are 28 times more earth efficient in terms of acreage used to&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Produce pounds of protein than beef.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Great Basin was a semi-arid forest and native peoples could always find a harvest of pinenuts, before white settlement. The pinyon never recovered from demands made upon it by the mining industry of the 1800&amp;#194;s. The large, mature&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Seedstock trees had been depleted from all but the most inaccessible areas of the forest. As the cattlemen came in, the land was manipulated to yield grasses, rather than forest. The grasslands dry out and die, rather than maintain the moisture&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Content, like trees. The pasture land has become part of the catalyst for huge fires in&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Nevada.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Land managers again, rather than looking to long term historical land composition, used faulty logic to justify treatment projects as landscape restoration, creating more grassland and flash fuel. Deforestation. This in turn, dramatically reduced the mature pine nut bearing tree.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;One can obtain more information about pinyon pine nuts and public land activism from www. pinenut. com. The owners of that site are environmentalist working to promote wild food as an alternative to cattle grazing.&lt;/p&gt;

Finally, a Nutrition Bar for Pregnant Women</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Oh Mama! Finally, a Nutrition Bar for Pregnant Women&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Beth Vincent &amp;#194; Public Health Expert, Mother of Three and Co-Founder of Vincent Foods Introduces Oh Mama! -- Delicious Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) April 4, 2005&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Addressing a void in the market for healthy and convenient foods aimed at pregnant women, Beth Vincent, CEO and Co-founder of Vincent Foods has created the Oh Mama! nutrition bar. Oh Mama! is the first nutrition bar formulated specifically to meet the needs of women who are trying to conceive, who are pregnant, or who are breastfeeding.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Getting the proper nutrition during pregnancy is critical. Doing so, however, is often a challenge for women who are busy, tired, or simply confused about what is best to eat. Oh Mama! nutrition bars are a convenient, healthy and delicious solution. The Oh Mama! nutrition bar delivers peace of mind to women as it contains DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid) as well as 14 vitamins and minerals recommended by the National Academy of Sciences for pregnant women in a tasty, low-fat snack.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Not only is Oh Mama! the first bar specifically designed for expectant and new mothers, it is one of few foods available with supplemental DHA. DHA has attracted attention in the news as a large and building body of research shows that this fatty acid, transferred from mother to child during pregnancy, is critical for a baby&amp;#194;s brain, visual and central nervous system development. Unfortunately, there are not many sources of DHA in the typical American diet. Pregnant women, in particular, do not get enough of this important nutrient because they are cautioned to limit consumption of certain types of fish (a major source of DHA) due to concerns about mercury intake.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The inspiration for Oh Mama! came from Beth Vincent&amp;#194;s frustration in finding convenient, healthy and satisfying foods during her three pregnancies. Like most pregnant women, Beth became hungry at inconvenient times and was forced to eat what was readily available. Sometimes that meant eating a pop-tart, french fries, or crackers from a vending machine. When Beth&amp;#194;s doctor found out about some of the foods Beth was eating, the doctor recommended Beth eat more nutritious snacks for the health of the developing baby. The problem was that most nutritious snack foods just weren&amp;#194;t convenient to bring to work or on errands. Beth saw that many of her friends also had a difficult time finding healthy and convenient foods to eat while pregnant and she decided to pursue a solution.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;I worked with doctors and nutritionists to design a bar that makes it both easy and enjoyable for women to get the proper nutrition at this time in their lives. In formulating this product we looked at what an average pregnant woman eats. We found that even with the help of a prenatal vitamin certain key nutrient levels were inadequate. Oh Mama! is meant to help those of us who can&amp;#194;t eat the perfect pregnancy diet,&amp;#194; explains Beth Vincent.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Suzanne Trupin, a Board Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Professor at the University of Illinios Medical School and CEO of Women&amp;#194;s Health Practice in Champaign, Illinois has this to say about Oh Mama!,"I am excited to be able to offer the Oh Mama! nutrition bar to my patients. I only wish the bar had been available when I was pregnant with my children!"&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Barbara Luke, ScD., M. P.H., 2005 recipient of March of Dimes Agnes Higgins Award in Maternal Nutrition and best selling author on maternal nutrition states, &amp;#194;As a nutritionist specializing in maternal and child health, I am always on the lookout for foods that help women get the right nutrition. The Oh Mama! bar is a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals for expectant and breastfeeding mothers. This unique product provides a convenient and delicious source of crucial nutrients often lacking in women&amp;#194;s diets. I wholeheartedly recommend Oh Mama! bars.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;With Oh Mama! Beth Vincent aims to create a stylish brand that helps women stay fit while helping their babies stay healthy. Beth has extensive education and work experience in public health and maternal and child health. She graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health with a Masters in Health Policy and Management. She has worked in health care consulting, volunteered in both nutrition and prenatal clinics and has trained as a doula.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A low-fat, low-calorie, high-protein food, Oh Mama! supports active lifestyles. Oh Mama! bars come in three fantastic flavors: chocolate peanut butter, frosted white raspberry and yogurt honey ($22.50 per case of 15 bars when purchased on the Internet) and can be purchased online at www. ohmamabar. com and in many upscale maternity stores nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;

C.T. Energy Drink in 12 oz. Cans</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;M2C Global Officially Launches A. C.T. Energy Drink in 12 oz. Cans&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;M2C Global officially releases their healthy energy drink A. C.T. in 12 ounce cans at their second annual spring conference in Dallas, TX&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 25, 2007&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Late April marks the official release of A. C.T. Energy Drink in 12 ounce cans at the second annual M2C Global Spring Conference held in Dallas, TX. A. C.T. is known as "The World's First Healthy Energy Drink".&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In attendance were over 400 beverage distributors from around the globe including Sheri Johnson from Atlanta, GA. This month Sheri Johnson celebrates one full year of marketing the healthy energy drink on the internet. Beverage distributors attending were lined up to get the very first orders of the energy drink. Many drove their own semi-trucks across the US to be able to purchase by the pallet full.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;M2C Global is expecting the sales to sky rocket to $40 million by the end of 2007 now that the "ready to drink" cans are on the market. The retail market will be expanding since this is a much healthier energy drink than what the competition is selling and at a price point that cannot be touched.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;A. C.T. Energy Drink is different in that it is sweetened with natural stevia instead of sugar or artificial sweeteners, and it is made with no caffeine anhydrous, making it a healthier source of energy than your average energy drink. The drink works quickly and lasts for many hours with no jitters and no crash. Up until this week, the drink has been sold as an "on the go" pouch that you would add to water or juice. Over 14 million of these packets have been sold over the past 2 years.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;M2C Global has become so popular with the beverage distributors mainly due to the fact that the products are very effective but also because of the revenue sharing program whereby authorized beverage distributors share in the profits from the energy drinks. M2C Global founder Paul Gravette said, "Business owners now have an incentive to tell their competition about the products because they will benefit financially by doing so." In addition, local store customers will return more often to buy this drink because once they try it, they will keep coming back for more.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;M2C Global leader &amp; trainer, Sheri Johnson, heads up a dynamic group of successful authorized beverage distributors in the US and a handful of other countries. At the conference she was commended for excellent communication &amp; team support. She has utilized cutting edge technology to provide training and takes great pride in empowering others to discover their true potential in this industry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Balancing Act is always looking for safe and healthy ways of eating—even when you are dieting. That’s why we invited Atkins Nutritionals to the show. The Atkins Nutritional Approach™ focuses on a healthy diet with reduced levels of refined carbohydrates and refined sugars, and encourages the consumption of lean protein, fiber, fruits, vegetables and “good” fats. They’ve joined our show to talk about their newest changes for the better. Tune in to The Balancing Act Thursday, May 20th at 7:00am (ET/PT) as they air on Lifetime Television.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What’s changed about Atkins™? It’s still based on controlling carbs, but now there’s more focus on eating the right carbs, like those in vegetables, berries, nuts, and other whole foods. Atkins™ recommends at least 5 daily servings of vegetables.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;It’s now easier than ever to “do” Atkins™. The Balancing Act, along with Atkins Nutritionals, explains how to move from phase to phase of the plan, how to discover your personal carb tolerance, and how to avoid symptoms that sometimes occur as you switch from a carb-heavy metabolism. You’ll also hear advice on eating out, including fast food restaurants. They promise you can do Atkins™ anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Atkins™ is now far more flexible. You can do it as a vegetarian, and even as a vegan. You can adapt Atkins™ to Latino cuisine or a kosher diet. You can start in any of the first three phases if you prefer. You can choose from two approaches in Lifetime Maintenance, depending upon your carb tolerance. You can decide when and what kind of physical activity you want to add to your program.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Atkins™ is backed by science. Numerous rigorously conducted studies show it to be a prescriptive diet for reducing risk of heart disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, as well as a weight-loss program.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Easier and more flexible, you can do Atkins™ anywhere. For more information visit http://www. atkins. com (http://www. atkins. com).&lt;/p&gt;

Kids Cooking in the Kitchen are the Answer</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Picky Eaters? Kids Cooking in the Kitchen are the Answer&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Captain Cooks Culinary Academy for Kids partners with GOT MILK? to get picky eaters into the kitchen and learning to cook healthy meals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Carlsbad, Calif. (PRWEB) January 30, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The evidence is everywhere. Expanding waistlines are not just a part of growing old anymore as more and more kids join the ranks of the obese. As culinary director at Captain Cooks, Karen Whitehead knew the answer to the problem. "Getting kids in the kitchen is the key to turning these picky eaters around as they learn about healthy eating, hands on. We educate every kid that walks through the door of our classroom and through our blog at www. captaincooksblog. com."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The GOT MILK? program takes everyday menu items and transforms them into tasty healthier versions incorporating milk, fruits and vegetables.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The lack of calcium in kid's diets is of major concern as it is the key to healthy bones and teeth. Pediatricians are even seeing a rise in the cases of rickets, a disease traditionally associated with the Industrial Revolution and almost eliminated in the 1950's when the government began adding vitamin D to milk.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;As these kids grow into adulthood the problem of osteoporosis and other bone diseases will begin to emerge. Dr Duane Alexander of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has called osteoporosis "a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences".&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I believe that we are making a difference," said Debbie Kirchner head instructor at Captain Cooks. "We have kids who have never been in the kitchen before and never tried a green pepper or an avocado. They come back next week raving about cooking the meal they learned in class for their parents."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;With obesity rates having tripled in the last 20 years and the dramatic rise in cases of juvenile diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies and some cancers it appears we need a new approach to the problems associated with poor nutrition. Getting kids into the kitchen is a good way to invest in their future health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Discusses key issues in wellness program efficacy&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) April 21, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Engagement in wellness programs (http://www. dsm. com/le/en_US/pnut/html/home_pnut. htm) depends not only on motivating employees, but also on how supportive companies are of the program, according to DSM Personalized Nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In an upcoming webinar, Seven Ways to Build a High-Engagement Wellness Program (https://www1.gotomeeting. com/register/190891209), scheduled for Thursday, April 22 at 3:00 pm EST, Fiona Gathright, president of Wellness Corporate Solutions, William McGill, Ph. D. and expert in technology and behavior change, and Ginger Hodulik, a Certified Nutrition Specialist and nutrition and wellness program manager at DSM Personalized Nutrition (http://www. dsm. com/le/en_US/pnut/html/dsm_personalizednutrition. htm), will discuss key drivers of engagement involving the entire organization and moving employees beyond mere participation to ongoing, active commitment.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"Companies adopting wellness programs can't focus simply on comparing vendor program features," said Gathright, who's spent 25 years in corporate business management, marketing and wellness program strategy and development. "Program success depends, to a large degree, on their organizational commitment to wellness."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Companies must be dedicated to wellness programs in their strategies to recruit employees, manage the launch and the ongoing program, and support behavior change among the workforce during and after the program. Communications programs must address the normal waxing and waning of interest in the wellness initiatives. It is essential to integrate the worksite program into the overall organizational culture.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For instance, healthful snacks in the company cafeteria and vending machines can support weight loss and improved nutrition among participants and all employees. Flexible work schedules that support exercise programs or mini - breaks also demonstrate company commitment. Company leaders must also "walk the walk" in their personal choices. Healthy eating and participating in walking or fitness programs are among the demonstrable ways to model wellness to their workforce.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Other ways to increase engagement include providing thoughtful incentives – not just financial but tied to participation-based goals and tailored to the target audience. Reaching employees where they are – including virtual and non-office workers – is also vital. Extending the program to spouses and dependents leads to improved compliance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Radical new approaches to collaboration needed to ensure future crisis prevented.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(Vocus) January 30, 2010&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Davos-Klosters, Switzerland (Vocus) Jan. 29, 2010 -- Agriculture is a game-changer that addresses multiple global issues – hunger, poverty, environmental degradation, poor nutrition and subsequent effects such as civil unrest, DuPont Chair and CEO Ellen Kullman told attendees of the 40th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Delivering on the potential for agriculture to address critical, global issues may be the greatest opportunity of our generation,” said Kullman. “It is possible, but it will take a radical new approach to collaboration.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Kullman is attending the World Economic Forum and participating in the panel discussion on “Rethinking How to Feed the World.” According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, food production will need to nearly double by the middle of this century to feed the world population expected at that time. Panelists were asked to consider what it would take to achieve food security, environmental sustainability and economic growth through agriculture.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“Global food security challenges are becoming more complex and interconnected. Collaborations among organizations will need to follow suit – becoming more interconnected to leverage the strengths of organizations across the public and private sectors,” said Kullman.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Kullman said the World Economic Forum’s multi-stakeholder initiative, “A New Vision for Agriculture,” in which DuPont is participating, could become the model for addressing global challenges broadly. The business-led initiative seeks to increase private-sector engagement and partnership with stakeholders including governments, international organizations, farmers’ associations, civil society and academia.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;“The need for collaboration between public and private entities is nothing new,” said Kullman. “What is new is the urgency to start listening, not talking past each other and working toward common goals of finding practical, sustainable solutions that can make real differences to people today and can be replicated for others tomorrow.”&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Increasing food production is a priority initiative for DuPont. The company invests about half of its $1.4 billion annual research and development budget to furthering this goal. DuPont is currently delivering and developing crops that produce higher yields with fewer resources, improved approaches to controlling crop pests, better accessibility to healthier food ingredients, packaging that extends the shelf-life of food, and food safety testing, among other things.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Getting in shape and staying fit shouldn't have to be about fancy equipment and expensive gym memberships. And it doesn't have to demand an hour of time each day. Fitness, however, does need to be consistent, challenging, and varied in order to produce lasting results, and the No Excuse Toolbox by inSHAPE provides the solution to each of these challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New York, NY (PRWEB) December 1, 2009&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The fitness and diet industry continues to explode in the United States, and ironically, so does the waist size of the US population. Americans are addicted to food, and they are addicted to diets, gyms, and trendy programs, all promising the same thing: the secret to being thin and healthy. Unfortunately, this combination of lofty promises and broken commitments continues to mystify those who need the most help. Making this problem even worse is the recessed economy. Many people simply can't afford expensive gym memberships and fancy equipment. However, canceling a gym membership kicks in the guilt and leaves many people in the dark and depressed about their workouts. Most people just don't know how to exercise without equipment or outside of a gym.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For twelve years, the team at inSHAPE has been designing simple but effective workout routines to help private clients get fit and stay in shape without the need for a gym. For the first time, inSHAPE brings this straight-forward approach to fitness to anyone who wants to live a more healthy lifestyle. With the No Excuse Toolbox (http://www. inshapellc. com/itemdetails. php? itemid=54), people of all fitness levels can learn how 25-30 minutes a day of simple moves will create a stronger, leaner, and healthier body.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The No Excuse Toolbox contains four booklets, each consisting of two workouts; one that targets the lower body and one that focuses on upper body. Each workout is 25-30 minutes and is a combination of strength and cardiovascular moves, which together create a high calorie burning workout. The toolbox is designed to be used six days a week, for no longer than 30 minutes each day, alternating between lower body and upper body workouts. Each workout also includes core moves that will strengthen the abs and back as well as stretches at the end.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The toolbox begins with the most basic moves and progresses on to more advanced levels of the exercises as the body becomes more conditioned. Illustrations show how to execute each move, and intervals of time are used instead of repetitions for most moves so that people can progress at their own pace. It's an easy and efficient way to get in shape in minimal time and with no inconvenience (no travel time to and from the gym, etc...). People can even use these workouts when traveling, they don't take up much room in a suitcase. The No Excuse Toolbox will also make a great holiday gift for loved ones, and at just $49.95 (includes shipping &amp; handling within the US), it won't put a huge dent in the wallet this season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Chris Cormier formulated and launched the exclusive Chiropractor's Choice formula to support normal low levels of pain, inflammation and arthritis with the finest and most powerful ingredients that nature has to offer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 10, 2008&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Chris Cormier, practicing chiropractic physician, renowned naturopathic educator, researcher, lecturer and product formulator recognized the need for a therapeutic nutritional support product to enhance chiropractic care. Chiropractor's Choice (http://www. chiropractorschoice. com/default. aspx) is the first product to meet those needs. Dr. Cormier is so pleased with this formula and the results, that he is now making it available to chiropractic patients across the country exclusively through chiropractic physicians.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Chiropractor's Choice contains 14 of the finest natural wholefoods in a never-before-seen therapeutic blend delivering immediate results for patients. The primary therapeutic benefits come from the top four ingredients, Sea Cucumber, Stabilized Rice Bran, Boswellia Serrata, and Yucca Schidigera. Additional support comes from concentrated fruit juices rich in anti-oxidants: A&amp;#231;ai Berry, Blueberry, Pomegranate, Blackberry, Cranberry, and White Grape. Aloe Vera, Milk Thistle, Luo Han Guo, and Sea Vegetables round out this complete liquid product.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The official product launch was at the February 2008 Parker College of Chiropractic Seminar, where Dr. Chris Cormier shared his experience with the product. "Patients are seeing therapeutic benefits within hours of taking Chiropractor's Choice, the kind of benefits a natural alternative has never delivered. They are so pleased with the results that they are referring others to my practice just based on Chiropractor's Choice."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Chiropractors across America face reductions in reimbursements, restrictions from insurance care providers and managed care, and are continuously seeking avenues to increase their patient base and referrals. Chiropractor's Choice is exclusively available to chiropractors and chiropractic patients. Therefore, Chiropractor's Choice can enhance not only the level of patient care, but is an excellent way to add value to each visit by providing an exclusive and effective product.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Cormier noticed an increasing frustration level in the chiropractic community, and decided to take action. "As chiropractors, we are acutely aware of the need for an effective, natural product with immediate therapeutic benefits and without risky side effects. Chiropractors need a product that is based on the sound principles of nature. There are many so-called natural supplements available, but Chiropractor's Choice is the first and only therapeutic nutritional program exclusively for chiropractors and their patients to support normal low levels of pain, inflammation and arthritis (http://www. chiropractorschoice. com/t-productingredients. aspx), as well as other associated concerns chiropractic patients may have."&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Chiropractor's Choice also has a full line of support tools available to Chiropractors to expand their practices; full documentation and research on each ingredient, advertising content, patient information cards, brochures, and corporate staff with decades of combined experience in manufacturing and marketing liquid supplements.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Chiropractor's Choice is quickly becoming the only product carried by many chiropractic offices and clinics across America because of the natural pain management (http://www. chiropractorschoice. com/t-producttestimonials. aspx) results patients are experiencing and the increases in revenue and referrals. Corporate-supported advertising campaigns are directing prospective patients to their local chiropractor for the relief only Chiropractor's Choice and chiropractic care can deliver.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Helping to build a bridge between Russian medical science and the global community, the US government has sought the expertise of the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) in establishing standards and guidelines for Russian research facilities and scientific organizations. Working in collaboration with Russian authorities, RAPS is helping the country&amp;#194;s leading scientists harmonize their regulatory processes with those of the international community, opening a multi-million dollar market potential and the possibility of undiscovered therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rockville, MD (PRWEB) October 18, 2004&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Russia&amp;#194;s unique regulations on health product development has cost the nation millions of dollars. Since the demise of the Soviet Union, the world&amp;#194;s 7th most populated nation has remained isolated from marketing its pharmaceutical and medical device discoveries outside of its own borders. To its fiscal detriment, Russia&amp;#194;s existing regulations are not compatible with the requirements of most countries. But through the recent efforts of the BioIndustry Initiative (BII), the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS), in conjunction with the US State Department, is helping Russia become a known healthcare research entity.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In order to build a bridge between Russian medical science and the global community, the US government has sought the expertise of RAPS in establishing standards and guidelines for Russian research facilities and scientific organizations. Working in close collaboration with Russian authorities, RAPS is helping the country&amp;#194;s leading scientists harmonize their regulatory processes with those of the international community&amp;#194;opening a multi-million dollar market potential and the possibility of &amp;#194;undiscovered&amp;#194; therapeutics.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Zorina Pitkin, PhD, RAC, a native of Russia and a member of RAPS&amp;#194; advisory committee for the project, likens the problem of regulatory incompatibility to differences in electrical voltages across international borders. &amp;#194;If you&amp;#194;re from the US and you bring a laptop computer to Europe, the voltage difference will render your laptop useless. But if you have an adaptor, you can make it work.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Similarly, if a healthcare company follows a set of regulations that satisfies the requirements of multiple countries, they can leverage their research or products for the benefit of many.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;RAPS&amp;#194; mission to help establish harmonized regulations in Russia is a component of the State Department&amp;#194;s BII&amp;#194;an effort that aims to reduce terrorists&amp;#194; access to biological weapons, facilities and expertise, and joins Russia in combating terrorism. To achieve these goals, the State Department is helping to transform former Soviet biological production facilities into channels for sustainable, commercial and peaceful applications, and is partnering with Russian scientists to develop drug and vaccine production for highly infectious diseases that affect both the former Soviet Union and the world.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;RAPS brings a critical level of expertise and global scope to the BioIndustry Initiative and our efforts to provide the Russian scientific community with international reach in marketing its discoveries,&amp;#194; said Dr. Jason Rao, Director of the BioIndustry Initiative.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;To this end, four members of RAPS&amp;#194; advisory committee recently made a trip to Moscow to evaluate Russia&amp;#194;s current regulatory environment. Using that newly acquired knowledge, the committee is now working with members of the Russian scientific community to examine ways to enhance the compatibility of Russian regulations and thus the marketability of Russian health products.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Central to RAPS&amp;#194; efforts is the building of the regulatory affairs profession and the advancement of good laboratory practice (GLP) compliance in Russia. GLP is the systematic model through which laboratory testing is carried out in a controlled, precise manner. GLP is a critical element of international health product regulation. Without adhering to it, a company&amp;#194;s drugs and medical devices will not pass the scrutiny of international governments.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#194;There is a sincere willingness from the Russian scientists to learn good laboratory practice,&amp;#194; explained Pitkin. &amp;#194;There is also a strong demand from the Russian government to implement it. There is work to do, but the willingness is there.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;According to RAPS Executive Director Sherry Keramidas, PhD, CAE, &amp;#194;This program demonstrates the great import of regulatory compliance in every setting, every nation. It is our goal to provide the knowledge and tools to reach these goals&amp;#194;to enable Russia to compete on an equal playing field with scientists around the globe.&amp;#194;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;About RAPS&amp;#194;&amp;#174;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;RAPS is the foremost worldwide member organization creating and upholding standards of ethics, credentialing and education for the Regulatory Affairs (RA) profession within the health product sector.

&lt;p&gt;I have a Bichon that is at least 7 years old we truly don't know his age but by his teeth as he was dumped out by our farm a year and a half ago.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks ago we noticed he would have coughing and choking episodes then a few days later Shaggy had a server chocking problem he then laid down and didn't want to get up my husband pick him up and he would yipe something we never heard like before as the day went on he tried to get up but he couldn't use his right front leg and the right back leg was sluggish he would try to eat but it was like he just couldn't move his head and body right the next day he didn't even try to get up we just knew we were loosing this sweet little dog we got so attached to. I told my husband brad I am giving him Vemma and took a eye dropper 4 cc Vemma then Brad and I took turns holding him crying most of the night! The next morning he was breathing easier and his pules was stronger so I gave him another 4cc of Vemma by the noon he he was drinking water on his own but still week in his actions but the amazing thing is he had started to use his legs again by the third day and another 4cc of Vemma he was back to chasing Duke our cat and jumping in our lap's. We are not for certain what happen but if a person went through this you would call it a stoke. I now give Shaggy Vemma 4 cc every day!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About nineteen years ago, Debbie was diagnosed with the debilitating disease fibromyalgia. This is a disease that affects the muscles and the tissues that surround the joints. The disease causes the muscles and the tissues to stay inflamed constantly. You also suffer from chronic fatigue because of the inability to achieve restful sleep because of the disease. There are also many other side affects from the disease...constant pain, depression, and weight problems just to name a few. For this disease, there is no cure. All of this was multiplied by a car accident that Debbie was involved in on July 8, 2002 when a gentleman t-boned her in the driver's side of her car at a red light. The accident left her with three bulging discs in her neck and other discs bulging down in the center of her back, neuropathy in both feet and both legs! , and carpal tunnel in both hands. Needless to say, Debbie hurt day and night. After being on the Vemma Total Nutrition product for six weeks, Debbie became totally pain free with energy that she had not experienced in years! Nineteen years to be exact. It has been a miracle for her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There's no doubt Americans love their holiday turkeys, but those tasty birds also have a reputation for putting people to sleep. And although it turns out that eating turkey isn't even close to a cure for insomnia, a nice gobbler with a little alcohol, and lots of side dish carbs can put you to sleep faster than a dose of chloroform. Luckily the power of hot peppers can ensure your dinner guests stay awake for the "after dinner" activities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Albany, NY (PRWEB) November 22, 2004&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Celebrate with family and friends, and much of that seasonal hoopla is built around the traditional holiday meal. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day are the three biggest days for turkey, and Americans love their turkey even with its&amp;#194; reputation to produce the dreaded "Turkey Hangover". Whether it's roasted or fried, turkey is widely believed to be nature&amp;#194;s sleeping pill, but is this reputation fair?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;It's true enough that turkey contains respectable amounts of an essential amino acid known as &amp;#194;Tryptophan&amp;#194;. Ingested naturally through foods, Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-Vitamin, "Niacin" which in turn helps the body produce &amp;#194;Serotonin,&amp;#194; a brain chemical that acts as a calming agent and plays an important role in sleep. While high levels of serotonin can have powerful sleep promoting properties, most nutritionists and doctors will tell you that turkey has no effect on sleep whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In fact, studies show that to trigger a notable release of serotonin, the tryptophan must be taken in large amounts on an empty stomach with no protein present. For years the public had been misled about the sedative powers of turkey mainly by the media which has this falsehood into an urban legend of sorts. Even today the idea of turkey and sleepiness continues to be a side note in the Thanksgiving stories of local reporters all over the country.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Thanks partially to the media attention, tryptophan became enormously popular as a dietary supplement during the 1980s. Known as "L-Tryptophan," it was widely used as a natural way to treat insomnia, depression, PMS.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Then in 1990, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration banned L-tryptophan supplements after an outbreak of "Eosinophilia-myalgia," a syndrome that causes chronic muscle pain and even death. In fact, more than 5,000 users got sick, and more two dozen died all due to poor manufacturing techniques.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;An official investigation into the connection with L-tryptophan traced the problem to a contaminated batch of the supplement made by a single Japanese company which had changed its fermentation process to incorporate genetically engineered bacteria. This resulted in a bacterial contamination of several lots.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Although the investigation proved the outbreak had nothing to do with tryptophan as an essential supplement, the FDA refused to relax its ban, reasoning that it's still not clear whether manufacturers can make a product that is guaranteed non-toxic. However, L-tryptophan supplements are still available by prescription in Canada, and can also be found on various websites. Tryptophan also continues to be safely added to commercial baby formulas and other foods under FDA approval since the ban only covers tryptophan in high potency supplement form.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Turkey tryptophan is safe and essential to human life, but it also comes in many other high protein foods such as dairy products, beef, peanuts, barley, brown rice, fish, soybeans, and all other poultry. Yet none of these foods (including turkey) are likely to trigger the body to produce more serotonin since tryptophan works best on an empty stomach. While tryptophan in supplement form may be strong, it&amp;#194;s meant to take at night, well after dinner. On the other hand, the tryptophan in a Thanksgiving turkey has to compete with all the other amino acids that the body is trying to use simultaneously through all the recently ingested food. Therefore, only part of the tryptophan ever really makes it to the brain to help produce serotonin.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;So then what is it that makes you so sleepy after big turkey dinners? It's simply the meal as a whole. When we eat a traditional holiday dinner, we tend to pig out on lots and lots of carbohydrates. The carbs wake us up at first, but by the time you're done with your last bite of pumpkin pie, not even grandma's strong percolated coffee can perk you up.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;For many people, this roller coaster ride to "Sleepville" puts a real damper on the day&amp;#194;s much anticipated after dinner events. Traditions such as watching the big game, or your favorite holiday parade can be cut short and even ruined, by the sleepy effects of that enormous holiday meal -- so what's a person to do?&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;There are a few things that can be done on both sides of the table to ensure a perky celebration long after the traditional sit down meal. On the cook's side of things, he or she can add hot peppers to the meal -- either as a side dish, or somehow incorporated into the menu. This could be a special cayenne pepper sweet sauce gently drizzled over your favorite veggies, or you could add an extra kick to your turkey by rubbing in a little cayenne pepper seasoning.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Why do hot peppers give you a boost? The active ingredient in hot peppers is "Capsaicin," a powerful natural endorphin booster that can rev up the metabolism and perk up your energy level. In higher doses, capsaicin can even wake you up when you've had too much holiday cheer while listening to Uncle Ted's tired old stories. More importantly, it&amp;#194;s been shown to increase blood flow thus preventing and breaking up dangerous blood clots in the arteries. For this reason heart patients are told to include hot peppers in their daily diets&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;There are many varieties of hot peppers that can provide capsaicin. Some are mild such as paprika, and some are wild such those tasty little Habaneras. Of course you don't have to spark a &amp;#194;three alarm&amp;#194; fire to sneak some capsaicin into your holiday meal. Something as simple as one small diced up hot pepper mixed in your favorite casserole can add enough capsaicin to kick your dinner up a notch without blowing the top off granny's new wig.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#194;s also another novel way to perk yourself up with capsaicin, and it's all in the nose. Believe it or not, there's an all natural hot pepper nasal spray made to combat chronic sinus and headaches with the power of capsaicin. Sinus Buster nasal spray is touted to be the greatest sinus and headache remedy ever, but it's also know as perhaps the best natural "pick me up" around.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Sinus Buster's reputation as an instant energy booster has garnered many recreational users who swear this unique nasal spray is stronger than a morning cup of java. Recreational users who label themselves as "Pepperheads," say one squirt of Buster is about as good as it gets for readjusting your attitude.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"I use it everyday morning when I get up. I sit there with my coffee, and my sinus buster. Snort and drink.....snort and drink...a couple shots and I'm good to go. Plus my breathing has never been better," says Steve Fellows of Delmar, New York.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;After finding the Sinus Buster on the internet, Fellows just had to give it a try, and once he did -- he says he was hooked.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Management at SiCap Industries, the company that manufactures Sinus Buster, is very positive when it comes to the potential of their innovative hot pepper nasal spray.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;"We designed this spray to combat chronic headaches, allergies, and sinus conditions. We didn't intend for buster to be an energy booster, but it has definitely caught on in that way. For us that's a great thing. We sell alot of this to runners and weight lifters. People that want to get a fast rush. It really does pump you up and it's all natural. Ya can't beat that," says Wayne Perry, president of SiCap Industries.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;The way capsaicin works on the body's bloodstream and brainwaves is very complex, but in a nutshell -- the capsaicin causes a chemical reaction that triggers the body to release natural endorphins which provide a burst of energy and a feeling of well being. By ingesting the capsaicin intranasally, Sinus Buster users get an instant dose of capsaicin -- all be it in very minute quantities.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;In addition, the natural formula featuring Aloe Vera Gel, Eucalyptus Oil, and organic Rosemary Extract clears the sinuses and leaves the nasal passages with a clean fresh feeling. The bite takes a little getting used to, but most people get to love it real fast. In small doses, the Sinus Buster can help to block allergy triggers and prevent sinus infections, but for the holiday season, it may just be the perfect way to beat those so-called "Turkey Hangovers."&lt;/p&gt;
