Crohn’s Disease Nutritional Intake Help Found in Vitamin Gum

Crohn’s disease help is not easy to find. That’s why the discovery of vitamingum is a newsworthy event for those afflicted. Because the disease affects the digestive tract, Crohn’s nutrition intake is a major concern. Sufferers often have little or no appetite due such pain, making it difficult for these individuals to intake and digest the vitamins and minerals needed.

Edward Mugits, owner and developer of VitaBrew Coffee, contends that Vitamin gum is assisting his son with the needed Crohn’s nutrition intake. Mugits’ son has dealt with the disease for 20 years and according to Mugits he has never seen his son intake this level of nutrients and feel the difference he now enjoys. Chewing Vitamin Gum has not caused pain or suffering for Mugits’ son. As founder of VitaBrew Coffee, Mugits has over 1600 hours invested in Naturopathic studies. He is dedicated to research and development of healthy products and is always excited to share anything that will provide Crohn’s disease help.

The vitamin gum is readily available in stores across the nation; GNC, Walgreens, Express Mart, Five Below Stores, Follett Book Stores, Giant Eagle, Sheetz and Wilson Farms. Vitamin gum is available in three flavors: grape pomegranate, raspberry lemonade and peppermint ice. It is sugar free, offers fast absorption through the mucous lining and small intestine and only needs to be chewed for five to ten minutes to ensure release of the nutrients. Benefits include B vitamins, Vitamin D, Calcium and antioxidants.

Edward Mugits, owner and developer of VitaBrewcoffee.com Mugits is also the father of a son afflicted with Crohn’s disease and as such he understands the debilitation this disease can cause. Mugits is devoted to sharing whatever offers Crohn’s disease help. For his son, chewing vitamin gum has not caused any pain or suffering and is improving hit nutritional intake. Vitamin gum can help support the limited Crohn’s nutrition intake by providing antioxidants and vitamins that otherwise would be missed.

Sizewise Launches First-of-its-Kind Automated Chair-to-Stretcher Device for Safe Patient Handling and Hospital Transport

Sizewise, a growing and diversified medical equipment manufacturer, today announced the newest in its Shuttle Series of products — the industry’s most advanced and secure means for mobilizing patients in a hospital setting. The Shuttle A Seriesâ„¢ is built on the strength and design of its predecessor The Shuttle B Series, which serves as a bariatric transport device.

“We’ve dominated the market with the Shuttle B Series, the only product of its kind to support up to 1,000 lbs, and now we’re pleased to deliver on the demand we’ve heard to create the same Shuttle for more average-sized patients,” said Trever Frickey, chief operating officer at Sizewise.

The Shuttle A Series is the ultimate transitional medical device designed for use in rehabilitation, examination and transportation. The Sizewise Shuttle Series of products are designed to help caregivers with safe patient handling so both the patient and healthcare professional do not suffer costly or life-threatening injuries.

“The Shuttle A Series transforms with the touch of a button from stretcher to chair position and is perfect for use with a lateral transfer device to assist with ambulating a patient,” said Frickey. “The seat assist function is complete with ambulation poles for the safety and confidence of the patient and caregiver.”

Uniquely, the Shuttle A Series has a tilt and recline function, along with an escalating height up or down. The seat has a three-layer foam insert for further comfort and weight distribution and leg supports elevate independently with retractable foot rests. The Shuttle A Series supports a weight capacity of 650 lbs and is the third in a line of Shuttle products – The Shuttle B Series™ and B Series LTC™ (a more economical model) are designed for the bariatric patient up to 1,000 lbs.

With an optional Power Drive, The Shuttle A Series can safely navigate smooth floors, thick carpet and uneven terrain in both the chair and stretcher position. With the ease of a feather-touch hand control, caregivers can propel patients at variable speeds up ramps and over door jambs. A unique center wheel design allows for easy maneuvering.

Zetathermide Proven to Generate Hi Levels of Far Infrared at Very Low Temperatures

The ZTG Group has completed it’s six year development cycle and independent 3rd party testing of a new material titled ZetathermideTM. Zetathermide has been proven effective in emitting high levels of Far-Infrared at very low temperatures.

The completion of Zetathermide’s development is extremely relevant to the fields of chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, fitness as well as other fields associated with discomfort management and general and health and wellness.

Zetathermide allows for a patient or user to achieve many of the benefits of heat therapy without the discomfort or inconvenience of high temperature. Simply by placing this material directly on the skin, the body may respond as if the user had applied heat. It can be used 24 hours a day with no dangerous side effects other than an unlikely allergic reaction.

Zetathermide is remarkable in that it has been found to work as a cosmic “tuning fork” or converter of energy without the need for electricity or any other artificial input. It can be used in its purest state or as an additive to silicone, plastics, ceramics, wood, resins, paint or any other substance that transforms from a liquid to solid state.

Lloydspharmacy Reveals Five Star Holidaymakers Think They Are Too Posh To Die

According to new research* by Lloydspharmacy’s Online Travel Clinic, five star holidaymakers are needlessly risking their lives when visiting malaria hotspots in Africa, Asia and South America.

It is estimated that over 13.5 million** British travellers have stayed in four and five star resorts in malarial countries with over a quarter not protecting themselves against local diseases. In fact over three million Brits did not bother to check to see if the country they were visiting had a malaria risk.

Worryingly 32% of all Brits believe they are less at risk of catching malaria if they stay at a luxury resort. The Lloydspharmacy research also found that only 30% of people who visit malarial countries take anti-malarial medication for the duration of their trip. A substantial proportion also discontinued anti-malarial medication prematurely when they returned home. Recently Cheryl Cole contracted malaria following a trip to Tanzania – although she was reported to have taken anti-malarials during her trip, it is not known whether she continued taking these upon her return.

According to the NHS website approximately 1,500 travellers return to the UK with malaria every year. In 2008, there were 1,370 cases of malaria reported and six deaths in the UK.

“Mosquitoes have no qualms about checking into luxury resorts”, said Clare Kerr, Lloydspharmacy’s Head of Travel Health. “The belief that staying in five star accommodation somehow provides immunity against diseases like malaria is very dangerous.

“Most UK travellers who catch malaria either do not take any anti-malarial treatments or do not get the right pills for the part of the world they’re visiting. It is important to get health advice before going to an area where there is a risk of malaria or other diseases such as diphtheria, typhoid and hepatitis.”

Lloydspharmacy’s Online Travel Clinic aims to make it as convenient as possible for travellers to obtain the malaria pills they need. After a consultation, Lloydspharmacy’s online doctors can provide a private prescription and arrange delivery of the medicines by post.

Optical Express Store Opened By Daley Thompson Jumping Tape

Optical Express’ latest optical store in Bearsden has been opened by Olympic legend Daley Thompson taking an unconventional approach to its unveiling. The decathlete, double Olympic gold medallist, world and Commonwealth champion swapped the conventional silver scissors for the scissors jump as he leaped the red ribbon to launch the new Optical Express store.

The eye care specialist relocated after nine years in the town in order to be able to offer customers a larger, more modern, state of the art opticians in Glasgow, Bearsden, where clients will receive the most clinically advanced eye tests in Scotland and a new, exclusive range of designer frames.

The store will stock Jimmy Choo’s new range of designer prescription glasses – tipped to be as popular as the fashion label’s range of shoes and bags – following their international launch last month. Customers can also choose from the latest designer frames from top names such as Dior, Prada, Gucci, Patrick Cox, Tom Ford, Cavalli and Chloe.

Bill Gates Said The Next ‘Bill Gates’ May Come Out Of Healthcare

During a recent town hall style meeting at Columbia University, a female college student asked Bill Gates what industries he thought offered the greatest opportunities for college graduates. “What industry will produce the next ‘Bill Gates?’” she asked. Gates quickly responded, “Technology, energy, and healthcare.”

Bill Gates Said The Next 'Bill Gates' May Come Out Of Healthcare

For those who do not already possess industry experience however, it is hard for professionals to break into these fields. Companies simply don’t want to take a risk or they don’t have the time, people, or budgets to train.

HART Health takes a different track. As a franchisor of first aid, medical supplies, nonprescription pharmaceuticals, HART Health is in the business of training, developing, and supporting professionals to make a successful transition into the exploding healthcare field.

HART Health recently hired Ramesh Rao, a former Vice President of Blockbuster Video, as COO to help franchisees accelerate through the learning curve and achieve business success. “With HART Health, I see the opportunity to take a very successful business model and expand it on a national scale by leveraging talented individuals who desire transition into a more lucrative and high growth industry than where they currently are.”

Larry Shaw, HART Health, CEO echoed Rao, “Other companies often don’t hire or train talent from other industries. We are a franchise. If professionals are willing to learn, we are in business to teach.”

Nature’s Best Encourage Us To Get In Shake!

Nature’s Best, one of the UK’s leading direct suppliers of quality health products and vitamin supplements, have released a new Strawberry Protein Shake just in time for the summer season, and it is being hailed as their tastiest yet.

Nature's Best Encourage Us To Get In Shake!

Research shows that adults lost between 0.5 and 2% of their muscle each year once they reach the age of 40. Therefore, it is essential that you include enough muscle-boosting protein in your diet as you get older. The problem is however many over 50’s do not get their recommended daily allowance of protein. Combine this with the fact muscle deterioration coincides with less frequent exercise and a serious problem could be arising.

In response, Nature’s Best has launched a NEW Strawberry Protein Shake, an easy-to-mix power drink containing 19g of high quality whey protein per sachet.

As we grow older, it is increasingly difficult to ensure enough protein is in our diets, due to a number of factors, such as the cost of protein-rich foods (meat and fish), a decline in appetite, a decrease in the ability to absorb nutrients, a change in taste preference, as well as difficulty with chewing. A protein supplement is an easy way to ensure that these advised quantities are effectively met.

The shakes are Nature’s Best most delicious yet, flavoured with real strawberries and are gluten-free, preservative-free, aspartame-free and can be consumed cold or warm, with water or with milk. Whey is one of the highest quality proteins available and contains significant amounts of all important amino acids. Whey also has a high-absorption rate and is easy to digest.

Doctors Recommend the E-bed Memory Foam Mattress

E-bed has been making memory foam mattresses for 45 years, and along the way the company has collected more than a few customer testimonials from medical professionals. Doctors approve of and recommend the CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam in the E-bed memory foam mattress. Visco-elastic memory foam was developed in the ’60s by NASA to provide orthopedic support to astronauts during take-off and re-entry. E-bed soon developed its CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam, which cradles the body by becoming softer in areas made warm by the body’s pressure and firmer in cooler areas, where less pressure is being applied. Instead of endorsing a TempurPedic mattress, chiropractor Gordon J. Braun put his stamp of approval on the less-expensive E-bed with this testimonial:

“It is very important to have a good bed that gives you proper support of the spine. The E-bed mattress has the memory foam, which forms to the spine, producing great support and avoiding pressure on the nerves. Many patients ask me which bed to use, and I was never sure of what to recommend. I decided to try the E-bed sleep mattress, and within the first couple of nights I noticed the difference in my body. I had a great night’s sleep and woke up with no stiffness. It is truly a bed that I recommend to all my patients.”

Contributing to the great night’s sleep Braun got was the additional layer of foam beneath the CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam. It helps provide the lumbar support that keeps the spine in its natural alignment. The E-bed memory foam mattress features high-quality coverings, as well, including 100 percent cotton, silk or cashmere. All coverings are treated to resist bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites and odor-causing germs. The E-bed also features advanced edge support that extends mattress life and adds 30 percent more sleep surface. It was this feature that sold Dr. Diane Stewart, M.D., on the E-bed over the TempurPedic mattress, no matter how great a TempurPedic mattress discount was offered.

E-bed Memory Foam Mattress Boasts the Orthopaedic Research Institute Seal of Approval

When researching memory foam mattresses, it helps to have an outside source to turn to for an impartial recommendation. Consumers can do just that thanks to the Orthopaedic Research Institute, and it has given its Seal of Approval to only one memory foam mattress: E-bed. These memory foam mattresses feature the company’s exclusive CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam and high-quality coverings. For such an excellent product, consumers might expect to pay top dollar. They are pleasantly surprised, in fact, when they discover that E-bed memory foam mattresses costs hundreds of dollars less than other popular memory foam mattresses.

The most important part of a E-bed memory foam mattress is its CoolTemp visco-elastic memory foam. Visco-elastic memory foam was developed in the ’60s by NASA to provide orthopedic support to astronauts during take-off and re-entry. E-bed’s visco-elastic memory foam cradles the body by becoming softer in areas made warm by the body’s pressure and firmer in cooler areas, where less pressure is being applied. CoolTemp also uses an open-cell structure that allows air to circulate within the memory foam mattress.

Underneath the CoolTemp memory foam is additional foam that provides lumbar support by keeping the spine in its natural alignment. Everything rests on a steel box spring instead of the lesser quality, wooden box springs used by other memory foam mattress manufacturers. Coverings for the memory foam mattresses range from 100 percent cotton to silk to cashmere, and they are treated to resist bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites and odor-causing germs.

The result of these many high-quality materials: a cool, comfortable night’s sleep.

E-bed is often compared to the popular TempurPedic brand of memory foam mattresses. Both brands are doctor-recommended, but the similarities end there. A E-bed memory foam mattress comes with a lifetime warranty, while TempurPedic only extends its warranty for 20 years. E-bed has been in business for more than 45 years, and TempurPedic has just 14 years of experience behind it. The biggest area in which the two brands of memory foam mattresses differ, though, is price. E-bed memory foam beds cost up to 65 percent less than TempurPedic.

There are three different collections of E-bed memory foam beds from which to choose, plus two additional eco-friendly memory foam mattress collections. Memory foam toppers, pillows and adjustable memory foam beds are also available. Complete product descriptions and pricing are available at E-bed.com.

Based in Poughkeepsie, New York, E-bed has been making memory foam mattresses for almost half a century. To schedule an interview with a member of the E-bed team, please call 800-478-9098. To order one of E-bed’s superior memory foam beds, call that same number 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday EST.\

Optical Express Now On Twitter

Optical Express has entered the world of social media, with the company recently launching its new Twitter accounts. Designed to better communicate with patients, customers and potential employees about the group’s current happenings and opportunities, four separate accounts have been created, each to fill a unique niche.

Optical Express Now On Twitter

Optical Express Marketing Manager Lindsay Taylor commented on the significance of this move.

“With the amount of people currently using tools like Twitter to communicate with one another, this was something that we couldn’t afford to miss out on,” she said.

According to Taylor, joining Twitter is not so much about being a part of a trend as it is about capitalising on a new communication tool that can benefit Optical Express patients, customers, and staff members.

“There is such a huge amount of information floating around on the internet related to both laser eye surgery and general eye care, and we want to be able provide a quality source of information, through our website, of course, but also through other mediums as well,” she said. “By reaching out, we hope that we can dispel any rumours, and help foster a constructive dialogue.”

The group’s corporate account can be found @OpticalExpress. This is the account that announces news updates, promotions, and competitions as they occur. As opposed to functioning as an extension of an advertisement for the organisation, it provides a stream of other news that may interest followers, including links to new articles uploaded to the “Eye Expert” informational segment of the Optical Express site, and announcements regarding the release of new designer lines of frames, for example.

@JoannaAtOEuk is designed as a point of contact for customer service enquiries, responding to Optical Express-related posts, and answering any questions. This includes everything from providing links to eye clinic locations, to connecting users with the relevant individual in the organisation to answer more clinical questions. Finally, @oeCareersUK announces job openings as they arise, enabling interested individuals to receive instant notifications when positions open up.

Mr Schallhorn’s research involved 81,715 eyes, a virtually unprecedented amount in the field. He also presented a poster titled ‘Patient Satisfaction After LASIK: Analysis of More Than 15,000 Patients’, which discussed the high level of patient satisfaction achieved after modern LASIK.

Optical Express’ UK medical director Professor Jan Venter was also a presenter at the conference. Prof Venter discussed exciting research comparing different techniques to perform enhancements. Miss Susanna Boytha, one of the Optical Express surgeons, presented as well, assessing various methods of flap creation in LASIK surgery.

Members of Optical Express’ IMAB were also actively involved as panellists and speakers. John Vukich, Steven Dell, Marguerite McDonald, Michael Knorz, Colman Kraff, Stephen Coleman and Stephen Slade all presented findings of their current and recent research.
