Summer Brings Increased Demand For Breast and Body Enhancement

Summer Brings Increased Demand For Breast and Body Enhancement

As Women Prepare To Wear Less and Show More, Orange County Plastic Surgeon Urges Them to Make Informed Decisions When It Comes To their Body

Corona Del Mar, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2010

With summer approaching, women are again reminded that they will soon be showing more and wearing less. Many feel the crunch to lose that winter weight packed on over the holidays. Some woman hope they can easily slip into their swim suit, sun dress or shorts. Others are more concerned with “filling in” their bikini top or looking sexy in a summer dress. But for one of the “Top Plastic Surgeons in America” there aren’t enough days in the week to accommodate the number of woman who call his office hoping to increase their breast size, lift saggy skin or reduce the size of their thighs...before summer arrives!

Dr. Michael Niccole, Orange County Plastic Surgeon (http://www. cosmeticare. com), founder and medical director of CosmetiCare Plastic Surgery Center & MedSpa in Newport Beach says, “Many of my patients requesting breast augmentation, breast lift or liposuction explain to me their need to have surgery before summer weddings, beach parties and vacations begin. Unfortunately, if they don’t plan far enough in advance, they panic when they find it difficult to fit surgery into their schedule between work, family obligations and summer activities,” Niccole adds.

Breast augmentation and liposuction have been among the top cosmetic procedures performed, as reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2009 data. Due to their popularity, Dr. Niccole feels that those in a hurry may not make informed decisions and are more concerned with how quickly they can have surgery, rather than looking into the experience and credentials of their surgeon. According to Niccole, planning is key to a successful surgical or non-surgical outcome. People should take time to research beyond the “best deals” or surgery dates available to instead confirm training, experience and a safe, accredited facility in which to undergo their procedure.

Dr. Niccole has fixed many cosmetic procedures for patients who rushed in too soon and were unhappy with their surgical outcome. Actual CosmetiCare patient, Alexis Bellino--from the popular reality television series ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’-- says, “I met and consulted with four other surgeons before choosing CosmetiCare to perform my cosmetic surgery. The surgeon’s credentials, staff and exceptional way I was treated made them my first choice.”

Voted one of the “Best Plastic Surgery Centers in Orange County,” CosmetiCare has become one of the most trusted names in cosmetic surgery & med spa rejuvenation treatments. Its team of surgeons perform thousands of confidence-boosting procedures each year and have a reputation for helping patients achieve the most natural-looking results possible. More than 90% of CosmetiCare patients are referred by prior patients who have experience a professional team, the highest standard of care and the results they hoped to achieve.

Surgery isn’t the only way to look and feel your best. Lasers have become a preferred, non-surgical option for eliminating unwanted hair, unsightly leg veins and helping to tighten or repair sun damaged skin and reduce wrinkles.

Whatever your reasons may be for wanting cosmetic enhancement before summer arrives, make sure you don’t rush into anything. Dr. Niccole warns, “When it comes to your face and body, take the time to choose your surgeon wisely. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, confirm credentials, training, experience, and make sure you understand potential risks and the possible results you may expect. In the end, you’ll be glad you did."

CosmetiCare provides surgical and non-surgical cosmetic enhancements for men and women including health and beauty consulting with Alexis Bellino, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, tummy tuck, total body lift, facelift, Lap Band weight loss surgery, vaginal tightening, Laser Rejuvenation, Botox and the latest dermal fillers for wrinkles and fuller lips including Juvederm & Restylane.

Dr. Michael Niccole is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He was named one of the “Top Plastic Surgeons in America” by The Consumer Research Council and featured in the “Guide to America’s Top Plastic Surgeons”. Producers of the Discovery Health Channel regularly feature Niccole on their award-winning documentary series “Plastic Surgery, Before & After”.

IzzyCue ‘POP Noodle Phenomenon’

IzzyCue ‘POP Noodle Phenomenon’

IzzyCueÂ’s noodle is as skillfully crafted as any dish Ducasse, Keller or Trotter ever created!

WASHINGTON DC (PRWEB) August 9, 2004

IzzyCue, the venerable lifestyle brand, launches a new line of super-premium ready-to-eat gourmet noodle at cafe stores in the mid-Atlantic region.

Almost half a year in the planning, the product boasts of a high-end spinach fettuccini-style noodle with a rich thick premium citrus ginger sauce packaged separately on the side within the container. The noodles are topped with three expertly-prepared ingredients, consisting of sautéed sliced shitake mushrooms, Pollock-Surimi flakes and lightly-seasoned julienne carrots. The presentation comes in a square plastic container with a designer label going across the side panel (label design by IDeG: IzzyCue Design Group).

“This lunch product would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of some of the industry’s top suppliers,” IzzyCue chief executive Kenneth H. Tan explains. “We are especially excited that Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI: Nasdaq) will be co-packing the product line for us,” Kenneth comments.

With compound annual growth *(CAGR) reaching 4% globally, noodles is one of the fastest growing sectors in world packaged food. Growth was derived mainly from continuing strong performance in non-traditional outlets.

An integral part of Asian diets, noodles is a new and relatively unestablished product in the rest of the world. That said, in the US sales increased by 16% between 1998 to 2003, making it the third largest noodle market in the world behind Japan and China. Demand is driven by strong exposure to Asian cuisine in foodservice, mainly through the rising number of noodle shops, which in turn prompted retailers to stock a wider variety of noodles, making the product more readily available to consumers

They're comfortable and familiar, yet international and exotic. Noodles play a role in the cuisine of cultures worldwide and can range from the simplistic to the divine. While noodles, and restaurants serving noodles, are nothing new, national noodle chains are just emerging. Regardless of whether noodles are a menu cornerstone or general theme, these concepts appeal to customers looking for something a little healthier to eat while remaining in familiar territory.

The main distribution channel for noodles in the US was originally specialized Asian shops and restaurants. But as demand for noodles is growing, new distribution channels are emerging and supermarkets/hypermarkets and cafes are meeting these demands.

Value sales of noodles are expected to grow by 10.6% in constant terms in 2004, making it one of the dynamic areas of the packaged food industry in the US. This strong growth will largely be the result of growing urbanization as noodles offer a quick meal option for those with increasingly hectic lifestyles.

The company expects to roll-out to additional outlets each new quarter.

IzzyCue Café Division and IzzyCue Design Group (IDeG) collaborated in this project. The former specializes in innovative up-and-coming food and beverage products; while the latter entity is an upstart packaging and branding agency within the food and beverage industry.

Trucking Industry and Jobs in Shambles; TruckingCrossing Strives to Increase Job Count

Trucking Industry and Jobs in Shambles; TruckingCrossing Strives to Increase Job Count

Thousands of trucking jobs have been slashed over the year due to rising fuel prices and the troubled US economy. Most of the trucking companies based in various US cities are facing the brunt of the enveloping recession. Media reports predict that as the recession dampens consumer spending and other activity, demand for trucking services has plunged too. The whole trucking industry is struggling, unable to bear the pressure generated by the overall downturn.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) January 5, 2009

Thousands of trucking jobs (http://www. truckingcrossing. com) have been slashed over the year due to rising fuel prices and the troubled US economy. Most of the trucking companies based in various US cities are facing the brunt of the enveloping recession. Media reports predict that as the recession dampens consumer spending and other activity, demand for trucking services has plunged too. The whole trucking industry is struggling, unable to bear the pressure generated by the overall downturn.

"The trucking industry is in a terrible state, and jobs are being slashed at an alarming rate to support the bottom lines of many trucking companies," says A. Harrison Barnes, CEO of TruckingCrossing, a leading job board for trucking professionals.

Trucks move most of the nation's raw materials and crops to factories and processing plants. Then trucks transport those finished goods and spare parts to wholesalers and retailers. The trucking sector has always been a good indicator of broader economic health, reflecting the economy's boom-and-bust cycles. Four in five American communities consume goods that are delivered only by truck.

This year, Con-way's freight volume fell 3.8% in October from the year before, and 9.2% in November. The company announced 1,450 layoffs, cutting 8% of its workforce. Also, Oregon County has about 720 trucking jobs at a truck plant in peril due to the economic slowdown. A truck plant at Oshawa, Ontario, was closed down too, by General Motors, which is facing bankruptcy if not able to recover quickly. Various trucking companies are out of business because of less consumer spending and rising unemployment across other sectors too.

Barnes says, "The trucking sector is facing a lean period, the holiday season was below expectations too, and now is the crucial time to keep the industry operating as efficiently as possible. TruckingCrossing, the leading trucking job provider in the US, faces a Herculean task to scour for more and more http:jobs for trucking professionals as soon as possible."

"The job site is doing fairly well recently, with more than 5,755 jobs being active and currently posted on the site in spite of the looming recession," adds Barnes.

"There are still many trucking jobs (http://www. truckingcrossing. com) out there. We want to find them all."

Join David Rowlee, Ph. D., Morehead’s VP, Research Services and Patrick Corrigan, Morehead’s VP, Consulting Services, as they explore the differences in retention and engagement.

On the other hand, Satisfied Opportunists, who are often high performers, will leave to seek employment elsewhere if the opportunity presents itself. How do you convert this group from being merely satisfied employees to being fully engaged?

By attending this webcast, participants will learn:
 The state of engagement among RNs  The different levels of RN engagement – which are beneficial and which can be detrimental to organizational performance  How to build “highly engaged” RNs by understanding the key drivers of nurse engagement

Tailor made homes from the stars

Tailor made homes from the stars

The couple who sold their home at a loss after discovering it had a grisly past could have avoided mental and financial upset by using a feng shui new home consultancy service before even offering a deposit. We now know that the law puts no obligation on a vendor to disclose the history of a property.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2004

Give the feng shui 'time and space' practitioner some details of the people who will live in the house, its layout and its physical location in terms of waterways, roads, hills and imposing buildings, the direction it faces and the time it was built and an expert like Alan Stirling, a founding member of the Feng Shui Institute, will spot any problems, existing and predicted - they can be financial, to do with relationships or with health - associated with the property.

Alan Stirling explained, "It is all to do with natural energy or qi. Time and space feng shui (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) has been studied and practised in China for 1,500 years. Based on physics and natural laws it studies changes in energy over time.

"If your home naturally contains oneÂ’s favourable qi then quality of life will be enhanced. If the energy of your home controls or weakens your personal qi then this will create stress and hinder health and well being."

In many cases there are solutions which can ameliorate most of the problems. A feng shui consultation is used to balance an environment in favour of a person's qi. This element is determined from your Chinese astrology chart. Interior design advice is given in terms of colour, shapes and furniture and the correct positioning of them will reduce stress and improve health. And that helps all relationships.

Alan Stirling adds, "Once the home is naturally balanced it is possible to find the area of the house with the most vibrant qi. In this area you can harvest natural energy that will create opportunities that increase wealth and well being. Without this area activated opportunities can slip through your fingers - not something you would want when moving home!"

EDITOR'S NOTE: Feng shui house checks cost as little as £150, varying by the size of the property and the number of people living or working there. They can be carried out on line or by site visit.

Tenrox, the leading provider of workflow-driven Project Governance and Compliance Solutions, today announced that MediServe Information Systems has purchased Tenrox’s Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution to enhance visibility into its projects, as well as improve project analysis and resource forecasting. Tenrox PPM was selected over a dozen other solutions evaluated by the Company based on its integration to Microsoft Project, its fit with MediServe’s IT infrastructure, and its cost-to-feature value.

Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, MediServe specializes in Respiratory Care, Rehabilitation, and Emergency Department Information Systems for healthcare organizations. Prior to implementing Tenrox PPM, the Company—which undertakes between 20 to 35 projects concurrently at any given time—relied on an internal system to handle project reporting. However, the system was limited in its ability to associate the information gathered with the original project plan.

“It became evident that if we wanted to continue to grow as a business, we needed an enterprise-wide solution that would enable us to analyze key metrics from our projects - so enabling us to further enhance our development and implementation methodologies and plan for future employee growth based on projected sales,” said Tony Peck, Director of Project Management Office at MediServe. “Tenrox PPM will provide this needed project visibility with excellent statistical reporting. The ability to conduct what-if analysis to plan out different scenarios in workforce planning and hiring will also enable us to accurately forecast resource utilization and reduce resource gaps.”

Tenrox PPM is a modular, workflow-driven project control solution that addresses a company’s complete portfolio, project and workforce management needs with configurable and certified integrations to accounting, and payroll systems. Tenrox PPM will be used by approximately 100 MediServe employees nation-wide.

Prescription Pricing Advisor Available via the Web

Prescription Pricing Advisor Available via the Web

Independent and small chain pharmacy subscribers can now access timely prescription pricing intelligence online.

(PRWEB) February 12, 2003

MILWAUKEE, WI – Independent and small chain pharmacy subscribers can now access timely prescription pricing intelligence online. In an effort to streamline communications to its clients, Hamacher Resource Group has launched an online version of its monthly Rx Advisor® prescription pricing program.

Focusing on the prescription department of independent and small chain pharmacies, the Rx Advisor® provides market-specific retail pricing intelligence on key brand and generic drugs. It also advises pharmacies on how to price new drugs entering the market. Data is distributed for two therapeutic categories each month.

“Delivering these profit-generating insights over the web makes accessing and using the data easier than ever,” said Dave Wendland, vice president. “In addition to actual retail prices from within a subscribing pharmacy’s zip code area, the online service also enables users to sort, display and find market intelligence more quickly. A quick export feature actually allows the Rx Advisor data to flow into a spreadsheet for further analysis.”

Since its introduction nearly 20 years ago, Rx Advisor has undergone several improvements and is now relied upon every month by pharmacist at more than 2,000 drugstores throughout the United States. The web-enabled version can currently be launched from HamacherÂ’s primary web page, www. hamacher. com and requires a valid user code and password.

“This migration to the web is part of Hamacher’s commitment to providing marketing services and retail business intelligence to our retailer, wholesaler and manufacturer clients in the most efficient, usable format,” Wendland said. “It’s truly a one-of-a-kind application.”

Star of Animal Planet television series to join host Tina Volpe on March 21, 2009 on VoiceAmerica's Health & Wellness Channel. "Captain Paul Watson is the world's most aggressive, most determined, most active and most effective defender of wildlife." -- Farley Mowat

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) March 14, 2009

For 31 years, Captain Paul Watson has been at the helm of the world's most active marine non-profit organization - Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Watson is also Co-Founding Director Greenpeace Foundation.

Sea Shepherd's Mission Statement

Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.

Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.

Over the years, Watson has exhibited a remarkable diversity in his activism. Aside from being a co-founder of Greenpeace in 1972, Greenpeace International in 1979, and founder of Sea Shepherd in 1977, Watson was a Field Correspondent for Defenders of Wildlife between 1976 and 1980. He was a field representative for the Fund for Animals between 1978 and 1981, and a representative for the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals in 1979. He co-founded Earthforce Environmental Society in 1977 and Friends of the Wolf in 1984. Watson's first affiliation with the Sierra Club was in 1968 and he has remained a Sierra Club supporter ever since. Watson was elected to the National Board of the Sierra Club USA serving as a director from 2003-2006.

Watson has received many awards and commendations over the years. In 1996, Watson was awarded an honorary citizenship to the French town of St. Jean Cap Ferrat. Previous to that he was made an honorary citizen of the Florida Keys in 1989. Other awards include Toronto City TV's Environmentalist of the Year Award for 1990, the Genesis Award in 1998, and he was enrolled in the U. S. Animal Rights Hall of Fame in 2002. He was also awarded the George H. W. Bush Daily Points of Light Award in 1999 for his volunteer efforts with conservation activism. He was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th Century in the year 2000.

Watson is a prolific writer and author. His published titles include: Shepherds of the Sea* (1979), Sea Shepherd: My Fight for Whales and Seals* (1982), Cry Wolf* (1985), Earthforce!, (1993), Ocean Warrior (1994), and Seal Wars (2002).

"I have been honored to serve the whales, dolphins, seals - and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me. These beings have spoken to me, touched me, and I have been rewarded by friendship with many members of different species.

If the whales survive and flourish, if the seals continue to live and give birth, and if I can contribute to ensuring their future prosperity, I will be forever happy." -- Paul Watson

New Internet-based Food & Wine Magazine Targets Culinary and Wine Professionals, Enthusiasts, and Consumers of Discriminating Taste - "BASIL" Magazine

New Internet-based Food & Wine Magazine Targets Culinary and Wine Professionals, Enthusiasts, and Consumers of Discriminating Taste - "BASIL" Magazine

Produced by notable celebrity chef Jerome Brown (Chef Rome), veteran event producer V. De'Vonne Williams, and renowned comedian and actor Rodney Perry, the new and highly-anticipated online publication BASIL Magazine targets constituents who are known for discriminating tastes -- chefs, industry professionals, and food and wine enthusiasts. Chefs, foodies, caterers, restaurateurs, and people around the world who love to host dinner and/or cocktail parties will find BASIL Magazine a particularly exciting and valuable source for culinary and beverage facts and serving ideas.

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) September 1, 2009

Internationally celebrated Chef Jerome Brown (Chef Rome), veteran event producer V. De'Vonne Williams, and renowned comedian and actor Rodney Perry have identified an untapped niche to address culinary and wine topics from a professional perspective. Today the partners announced the launch of BASIL, a monthly online magazine that focuses on food and wine topics, while adding appeal by including sections on lifestyle and philanthropy. BASIL's tagline "Eat. Drink. Live. Give." clearly reflects its concentrated subject matter. Internet access to BASIL Magazine is FREE to its subscribers around the world.

BASIL Magazine targets constituents who are known for discriminating tastes -- chefs, industry professionals, and food and wine enthusiasts; particularly the often overlooked constituents of color. Chefs, foodies, caterers, restaurateurs, and people who love to host dinner and/or cocktail parties will find BASIL Magazine a particularly exciting and valuable source for culinary and beverage facts and serving ideas.

BASIL Magazine's Chef's Council, the heartbeat of the magazine, consists of several influential individuals, including celebrity chefs and food & wine industry professionals, among others who contribute varied skills and areas of expertise each month. Current council members include:
V. De'Vonne Williams, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Chef Jerome Brown (Chef Rome), Managing Partner, Celebrity Chef Rodney Perry, Managing Partner, Comedian/Actor Chef Ora Fink, Personal Chef and host of "The Secret to Life is Butter" Chef Mimi, Chef, Nutrition Educator and Producer Chef Tony Moore, Executive Chef, One Flew South Restaurant Chef Yorman N. Ramirez, Executive Chef of Kitchen the International Chef Ben Diaz, Chef Host, Home Cook Knows Best and Founder, HotCuisineINC. Chef Todd Shanks, Chef, Owner of MyFoodArts. com R. Veronique "Vee" Fitzgerald, President, "Women for WineSense" Rebecca Brenner, Ph. D., Nutritionist and Writer, Park City Holistic Health and Playful Noshings

"BASIL Magazine is a stepping stone for minority chefs. It's important to have that outlet so the rest of the world can know how diverse the culinary world really is. There are a lot of chefs with something to offer who are currently "Top Chefs" and people don't know who they are and what they are up to. BASIL is cutting edge and will set the bar to a new high. BASIL is bigger than just a magazine," said Chef Rome, BASIL's managing partner and head of its Chef's Council.

Brown, Williams and Perry believe developing a publication like BASIL is important and beneficial to readers and advertisers because the magazine targets and addresses the needs of a rapidly growing and influential market.

As advertisers learn about BASIL, they will be as equally impressed as the online publication's readers. BASIL is a magazine that truly believes in the art of giving and this will be very beneficial to its advertisers as 5% of the magazine's advertising dollars will go to its partner, The World Food Programme. The World Food Programme is the United Nations' frontline agency in the fight against global hunger and is the world's largest humanitarian organization. "We're excited to partner with BASIL Magazine and we are looking forward to a long working relationship," said Caitlin Masters of Friends of the World Food Programme's Special Gifts Unit. "Not only can readers learn more about the adventure of the WFP, but BASIL will also introduce its constituents to other worthy organizations and individuals that are doing great work in philanthropy."

BASIL's management describes its readers as individuals who possess a discerning palette and an incredibly strong sense of style. The magazine's mix of global readers are sophisticated and affluent consumers and industry professionals who have keen interests in food and wine, healthy living and lifestyles, and philanthropy, and who collectively represent a dynamic mix of culture and entrepreneurism.

Williams commented, "I'm excited to introduce BASIL to the world! The world we live in is such a diverse place. Varying foods and cultures around the globe, and even in our own backyards, is absolutely phenomenal and we want to celebrate that diversity. BASIL has an amazing team of professionals who are dedicated and passionate about the work we are doing. We know that our readers will be cheering us on as we highlight the lives and careers of people in this industry around the world. BASIL is the vehicle that will bring it all together for everyone!"

BASIL's online availability will make it easily assessable to subscribers around the world. Recipes, culinary book reviews, restaurant reviews, wine and spirits, cuisine parings, cooking ideas for children, dinner club suggestions, and special food and beverage related stories from around the world will be featured in BASIL. Some of the magazine's sections include:

"BASILTV" where readers may view videos of chefs preparing meals in the kitchen -- sometimes with celebrities; cooking demos when readers will be able to "enter to win" varied prizes based on their knowledge of what they've learned; wine & spirits; philanthropy at work; lifestyle events, etc. "Ask Chef Rome" a page on which readers can and ask questions of chefs about recipes, techniques, etc. "BASIL's Health Watch" tips for eating and living a healthy lifestyle, articles and meal suggestions for people with various medical disparities and more. "Gadget Girl" will introduce new and unique kitchen tools and gadgets that readers can "enter to win." "BASIL Directories" lists recipes, chefs, restaurants and upscale lounges from around the globe. "Philanthropy" where BASIL encourages its readers to 'give back' and outlines its own philanthropic endeavors. Readers will also be able to log on, and donate to The World Food Programme, as well as other causes. "Lifestyle" covers food & travel around the world, celebrity events, fashion and more. "The BASIL Test Kitchen" where chefs from BASIL's Chef's Council and other celebrity chefs will test varied products such as cookware, bake ware, select food and beverage products, recipes, and more. And as always, readers may "enter to win" products demonstrated in the BASIL Test Kitchen.

"BASIL is hot!" exclaimed Perry. "My partners and I have developed a magazine that showcases the talents of people of color who are doing great things in the food, wine, spirits, travel & tourism, lifestyles and philanthropy industries, whom readers will see, read about and celebrate in each monthly issue. I am particularly proud of the section of the magazine that encourages giving back and showcases our philanthropic efforts. BASIL is the next BIG thing! Stay tuned…!"

Valentine Sweets From Your Sweetie? 10 Vital Tips for Keeping Your Teeth Healthy for Life

Valentine Sweets From Your Sweetie? 10 Vital Tips for Keeping Your Teeth Healthy for Life

As we approach another 'candy-sponsored' holiday we need to keep in mind just who the real victims are after we gorge on and enjoy the sweets inevitably put before us as tokens of affection. While the intent may be admirable, the sweet and gooey confections we enjoy so much become literal banquets for some of the more than 800 pathogens secretly inhabiting our teeth and under our gum lines--many of which (50-75 of them) are the culprits causing decay and furthering the diseases which lead us to the dentist in order to ease the resulting pain from abscesses, bleeding gums and even bad breath. Here are ten quick tips to help your teeth through the holiday and keep them healthy for a long, long time.

Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWEB) February 1, 2006

Brush regularly and immediately after eating - even after snacking. You wouldn't put your dishes back in the cupboard after a meal without first washing them--yet many of us will go right to bed without brushing our teeth. Brushing keeps small food particles and sugars from becoming giant feasts for unwanted bacteria. If possible, brush a full two minutes or longer. Divide the teeth into quadrants and spend at least 30 seconds on each quadrant. Use the sulcus technique, angling the bristles and gently inserting and cleaning underneath the gum line while you brush. If you are not sure how to do this, ask your hygienist. If you cannot brush, at least swish water around your mouth and in between the teeth, removing food particles from in between the teeth and those trapped just below the gum line.

2. Select a good dentifrice and stick with it. You don’t need much and when the mouth fills with foam, many people will spit it out and consider themselves finished brushing. There are many, many toothpastes, soaps and powders on the market all touting claims from being the best whitener to being the most natural. Try a powder with a good mixture of baking soda, salt and flavoring - you’ll never go back to pastes. Fluoride? You won’t need it if you keep to a strict hygiene routine. Hydrogen peroxide? Good old baking soda is proven to be a better anti-microbial without the risk. You will be surprised how clean your teeth feel after using a baking soda-based powder. (See information on common household dentifrices and formulas you can make at home: http:mizar5.com/keyes. html)

3. Brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper. Why do a great job on your teeth only to have them come into immediate contact with the microbes living on the surface of your tongue? As an added benefit, your breath will be much better.

4. Floss or tape the teeth at least once a day. Flossing further helps to clean and remove calculus where your toothbrush cannot reach.

5. Learn how to irrigate the teeth and gums and do it daily. Oral Irrigation serves several purposes; it helps to remove food particles trapped between the teeth and below the gum line, using the right antimicrobial fluid in your irrigator can help remove the ‘biofilm’ which harbors bacteria dangerous to your oral health and irrigating massages the gums resulting in increased circulation.

6. Irrigate deep pockets with a cannula tip and good antimicrobial solution. This measure is one of the best things an individual can do, on his or her own, to assist in stopping decay where pockets have formed between the tooth and gum. Before you buy an oral irrigator, make sure you select an irrigator such as the Via Jet, which can accommodate the tiny cannula tips. Not all do. When irrigating a deep pocket, the cannula tip is small enough to deliver the antimicrobial solution deep, where the regular irrigator tip cannot reach. Ask your dentist for help in this. If you have the right dentist, he’ll be supportive and informative in your personal hygiene efforts.

7. See your dental professionals regularly, but choose them wisely. There are good offices and bad ones and you need to seek a good hygienist as well as a D. D.S. Make sure your hygienist is allowed a good hour with you -- enough time to properly work on your teeth. Listen to your hygienist when she tells you about a problem area and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Be on time for your appointments. Talk to your dentist about ‘periodontal anti-infective therapy’ involving home irrigation and antimicrobial solutions. This is cutting edge science and a little effort on your part can keep you away from the ‘specialist.’ Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If your professional won’t take the time to answer you in a way you can understand or gets offended by your questions, it may be time to move on.

8. White teeth do not necessarily mean healthy teeth. While your biggest concern right now may be your smile, make sure that smile will be there, in good shape, years from now. Tooth whitening is tremendously popular today and many companies are catering to the market. While tooth whiteners remove staining, to some degree, they do not necessarily do the cleaning job required for healthy teeth and gums.

9. Nutrition is half the battle. A demineralization and remineralization process is taking place constantly as the teeth are being bathed in healthy saliva (See article on ‘Demineralization’ at www. mizar5.com/demin. htm (http://www. mizar5.com/demin. htm )). The body is equipped to care for itself as long as conditions are right, and as everything else in the body requires good nutrition, the teeth and gums are no exception. Staying away from sugar is fine, but don’t forget carbohydrates; cakes, breads, chips… Vitamin C has long been known as important for healthy gums and a good mineral supplement will provide the calcium and phosphorus your teeth need. Your strong autoimmune system is one of your best defenses against poor oral health and GOOD food is your best source of essential vitamins & minerals.

10. Finally, allow the time, take the time, and be on time. These are YOUR teeth. How you care for them will determine how they will care for you down the road. This is your best dental insurance and attention to your good oral health could even save your life.

Oceanview Publishing Announces the Upcoming Release of And Then There Was One by Patricia Gussin

Oceanview Publishing Announces the Upcoming Release of And Then There Was One by Patricia Gussin

And Then There Was One will be available nationwide on October 4, 2010

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) April 20, 2010

Oceanview Publishing (www. oceanviewpub. com)announces the upcoming release of And Then There Was One by Patricia Gussin. And Then There Was One (ISBN: 978-1-933515-81-6, Suspense, Hardcover, $25.95) will be available wherever fine books are sold on October 4, 2010.

And Then There Was One, Gussin's fourth novel, is a suspenseful and seamless story that unfolds as a family copes with a devastating crisis. Nine years ago, Katie and Scott Monroe were blessed beyond their wildest dreams with identical triplets, Sammie, Alex, and Jackie. Three beautiful daughters and two adoring parents formed the picture-perfect party of five. But this tight-knit family unravels when the three little girls go to see a movie, and only one emerges from the darkness of the theater. How could Sammie and Alex vanish without a trace?

Plunged into the abyss of a parent's worst fear, Katie and Scott hang by a thread--waiting, worrying, not knowing, and confronting the terrifying realization that the kidnapping may not have been a random act. Who took Sammie and Alex? Why? Where are they? When will they be found? And what if they're never found, or not found alive?

When Jackie, the remaining triplet, crumbles under the weight of grief and survivor's guilt, Katie and Scott struggle to hold out hope and hold on to what remains of their family. Until--or unless--Sammie and Alex are found safe, this picture-perfect family can't be put back together again.

Britons Won't Take Slow for an Answer

Britons Won't Take Slow for an Answer

New research reveals life in the fast lane is still not a reality for most.

(Vocus) October 23, 2007

New research commissioned by Nurofen Express (www. nurofen. co. uk) exposes the UK as a nation regularly yearning for daily activities to speed up with 86% of the population wishing things could happen twice as fast.

However, one of the key activities chosen by the younger generation to speed up was exercise, whilst almost one quarter of 16-24 year olds also asked for a 'fast lane' in their local fast food restaurant to ensure they could get to their junk food in double quick time. Almost half of 16-24 year olds said they'd like physical activity to be over and done within half the time, compared to only 18% of over 55s; providing a stark reminder of why British children have some of the highest rates of obesity in Europe2 (www. iotf. org).

Toni Millard, Practice Nurse comments: "Today's fast-paced, multi-media lifestyles are in danger of creating long term health problems for the UK. Whilst 86% of the population regularly want to get things done twice as fast, it's important to remember that some things are worth your time and attention."

However, the desire for faster access to the nation's doctors clearly reflects the Government's intention that waiting times be reduced. "Whilst 44% of people have asked for a fast lane to speed up their doctor's appointments, it's important to remember that consulting the practice nurse, local pharmacist or walk-in centre could also prove a speedy option for people looking to get professional health advice."

Justin Buckthorp, a health and exercise specialist (http://www. soscentres. com/profiles/Justin_Buckthorp. htm (http://www. soscentres. com/profiles/Justin_Buckthorp. htm)), agrees: "It's a really positive thing that people want to optimise their lifestyles and get the best results from their exercise in the shortest amount of time. Most of us lead busy 24/7 lifestyles after all. But in the quest to 'get the edge' it's important we build a foundation of health first. This means looking at simple things like sleep, hydration levels and diet."

The research has been commissioned to coincide with the launch of Nurofen Express, a range of painkillers which target pain twice as fast as standard Nurofen Tablets (ibuprofen).

For the chance to win a city break, that's twice as exciting, to New York, please visit www. nurofen. co. uk/freerides (http://www. nurofen. co. uk/freerides).

Nurofen Express Capsules contain ibuprofen. Nurofen Express Caplets contain ibuprofen lysine, for headaches. Always read the label.

Caffeine Allergy Masquerades as ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Other Disorders -- Information a Century Overdue

Caffeine Allergy Masquerades as ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Other Disorders -- Information a Century Overdue

Albert Einstein stated that the only way to learn something is through experience. Ruth Whalen, a Massachusetts resident, survived a 24-year course of medical misdiagnoses and proves Einstein's assertion in her new book.

(PRWEB) September 26, 2005

Albert Einstein stated that the only way to learn something is through experience. Ruth Whalen, a Massachusetts resident, survived a 24-year course of medical misdiagnoses and proves Einstein's assertion in her new book.

In 1975, an emergency room physician erroneously diagnosed and treated Ruth's allergic reaction to caffeine. The doctor induced acute psychosis causing Ruth to experience loss of focus, intellectual deterioration, delusions, loss of judgment and other symptoms of poisoning. Unaware of her allergy to caffeine, Ruth continued ingesting caffeine. Due to chronic allergic response to caffeine, her physical state including her brain function progressively deteriorated. In 1999, a doctor diagnosed Ruth with an allergy to caffeine. Ruth recovered and researched.

According to Whalen's experience, research, and articles published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Positive Health, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, and Medical Veritas, allergic response to caffeine causes ADHD, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, TMJD, PMS, and other conditions. Whalen's recently released book "Welcome to the Dance: Caffeine Allergy-A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia" (Trafford; 1-4120-5000-6; 418 pages, paperback) with the foreword written by Abram Hoffer, M. D., Ph. D., President of the International Schizophrenia Foundation expands on the research.

Containing 123 chapters, a reference section and index, "Welcome to the Dance: Caffeine Allergy-A Masked Cerebral Allergy and Progressive Toxic Dementia" details allergic response to caffeine, a hidden condition that most doctors do not know about causing severe physical and mental abnormalities. The text explains the physical and mental symptoms, biochemical changes, and abnormal lab test results caused by caffeine allergy, which affect numerous persons diagnosed with a mental disorder, and the book narrates Ruth's 25-year harrowed experience under the care of doctors.

Georgia Janisch, a registered dietitian and twin, wrote a chapter detailing her abnormal symptoms, diagnosed by doctors as psychosomatic illness. Like Whalen, Janisch recovered from her abnormal physical state. Recently, Miss Janisch's twin-- erroneously institutionalized for 40 years, diagnosed with and treated for schizophrenia--was discharged from the mental hospital and is recovering from poisoning, a clear indication that mental illness is not genetic. Where are the lawyers?

To read more about caffeine allergy and the book: http://www. welcometothedancecaffeineallergy. com (http://www. welcometothedancecaffeineallergy. com).

To schedule interviews, book signings, or speaking engagements and for general comments contact Ruth Whalen.

Certified via the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP) as a medical laboratory technician, Miss Whalen has 14 years experience in the medical field and also holds a BA. Ruth was not paid by any person or organization to undertake the research.

Online Maternity Store Right for Every Mother-to-be

Online Maternity Store Right for Every Mother-to-be

Announcing the opening of a unique maternity and nursing store, offering items no one else has thought of before. Because the owner is a nursing mother of two herself, she understands how frustrating maternity and nursing fashion is and sought out manufacturers to do what's never been done before with nursing clothing and bras. Hyper-committed to the pregnant and nursing mother, this store is head and shoulders above the rest.

Lansing, MI (PRWEB) March 17, 2004

Every expectant mother wants to look great while she awaits the birth of her child. With the April 1 grand opening of an online store that offers a wide selection of stylish maternity clothes, all pregnant women can look their best, whether theyÂ’re extremely petite or wear plus-sizes. Eva Lillian Maternity offers hard-to-find maternity apparel, nursing styles and infant accessories that fit the size and lifestyle of every mother. Interested shoppers will find the new store at EvaLillian. com and purchases made by those in the Lansing area will be shipped free of charge.

Eva Lillian Maternity owner Jessica Hudson has two young children herself and fully understands the fashion obstacles that new and expectant mothers face. As she carried and later nursed her babies, she found it difficult to find attractive, comfortable, affordable clothing. When she did locate what she was looking for, the stores exhibited a serious lack of customer service. Hudson acted on the need she saw for an outlet that specializes in both stylish maternity/nursing wear and customer service, and Eva Lillian Maternity was born.

Eva Lillian is unique in many ways. The store’s Web site offers valuable information especially tailored to the customer’s stage of pregnancy and/or parenthood. Its online showroom displays clothing for new and expectant mothers in hard-to-find sizes, as well as innovative infant accessories such as baby slings. The slings are a healthier alternative to other baby carriers worn by parents, and Eva Lillian offers customized designs. Customers will appreciate the store’s shopper-friendly policies, which include a flexible return policy, free return shipping, and an online “wish list” to share with friends and family looking for gift ideas. Shoppers in the greater Lansing area also receive free shipping on all orders.

Eva Lillian Maternity offers what todayÂ’s expectant mothers seek -- stylish nursing and maternity clothes that help them look and feel beautiful.
