Crohn’s Disease Nutritional Intake Help Found in Vitamin Gum

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

Medelita Announces Conference Schedule for Second Half of 2010

Leave a comment

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance men’s and women’s lab coats, today announced its conference and exhibit schedule for the second half of calendar year 2010. The company’s exhibit at medical conferences provides clinicians a chance to learn about modern advances in medical apparel. Many healthcare professionals unwittingly rely on the myth of the one-size-fits-all lab coat or scrubs, and are pleasantly surprised to learn that a more suitable alternative to ill-fitting unisex garments exists.

“We started Medelita to answer the need for quality medical apparel that, until now, has been a huge void in the industry,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Today, only two years after founding the company, I am proud to announce that clinician response to our products is phenomenal. I am truly humbled by the accolades we continue to receive and know that we’ve redefined the way the industry perceives lab coats and scrubs.”

Made from 100 percent high denier cotton and designed specifically with a focus on fit and functionality, Medelita’s fluid resistant lab coats are treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows fabric to repel and release stains. Tailored to fit the contours of the real human body, Medelita lab coats feature hidden inside pockets and finished inside seams. The High IQ® Easycare Plus helps fabric resist wrinkling and retain a soft, smooth, clean appearance. Technologically innovative, durable and fashionable, Medelita sets a new standard in professional lab coats. Lab coats are available in four men’s styles (sizes 36-52) and five women’s styles (sizes 0-16).

Medelita Teams with American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants, Offers Member Discounts

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance women’s and men’s lab coats, is pleased to announce an affiliate partnership with the American Association of Surgical Physician Assistants (AASPA). The AASPA represents the 9,000 physician assistants, out of 68,000, that specialize in the area of surgery. As part of the affiliate relationship, Medelita is offering a 15% discount to AASPA members on all lab coats, medical scrubs and professional clogs.

“According to the AASPA, surgical PAs play an important role in relieving surgeons as the national surgical residency slots decline,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “The demand for surgery is growing and PAs are helping to fill the void as institutions produce fewer surgeons. This is a testament to the importance of physician assistants in the field of medicine and we are thrilled to support them. Let’s face it, surgical PAs work in messy environments and it’s difficult to project a professional image wearing ill-fitting lab coats or scrubs with stains. That’s why I started Medelita — to answer the unmet need for high quality, professional medical apparel that clinicians can be proud to wear.”

Made from 100 percent high denier cotton and designed specifically with a focus on fit and functionality, Medelita’s fluid resistant lab coats are treated with Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, which allows fabric to repel and release stains. Tailored to fit the contours of the human body, Medelita lab coats feature hidden inside pockets and finished inside seams. The High IQ® Easycare Plus helps fabric resist wrinkling and retain a soft, smooth, clean appearance. Technologically innovative, durable and fashionable, Medelita sets a new standard in professional lab coats. Lab coats are available in ladies sizes (0-16) and men’s sizes (36-52).

Medelita lab coats are hand-sewn in the U.S. using the highest quality fabrics, most advanced fabric treatments and feature designer touches such as inside seam finishing and contoured shaping for exceptional fit and comfort. Engineered for easy care, Medelita lab coats and scrubs can be machine-washed and emerge from the dryer with a crisp, clean and professional look. Dry cleaning can be used, though is not required.

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

Leave a comment

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.”

Innovator of High Performance Lab Coats and Medical Apparel Introduces Clinician Scrubs in Black

Medelita®, maker of breakthrough performance men’s and women’s lab coats, is pleased to announce that its revolutionary female clinician scrubs are now available in black. With the addition of black scrub pants and scrub tops, Medelita offers six colors of women’s scrubs: navy, café, iris, leaf and pool. Medelita also offers a new line of men’s scrubs available in navy (baltic) and black.

“Black was a color that had long been requested by our customers, and we are excited to introduce our clinician scrubs in black, to satisfy the demand,” said Lara Manchik, PA-C and founder of Medelita. “Medelita scrubs are a new paradigm for female clinicians, who, not long ago, were limited to wearing boxy, ill-fitting unisex scrubs. The fact that our scrubs are available in a range of colors and in traditional women’s sizing – it’s no wonder clinicians have embraced them so enthusiastically.”

Medelita women’s clinician scrub tops redefine medical scrubs. Gone is the boxy, shapeless decades-old unisex scrub set. Medelita women’s scrubs have managed to achieve the standard look of traditional unisex scrubs while incorporating innovative design features such as darting at the bust, tapering at the waist and hips and tailored sleeves in the scrub top. The clinician scrub pants feature subtle, slimming bootleg, contoured rise front to back, and flattering seam placement.

Impeccably hand sewn in the USA, Medelita’s tailored scrubs are made with a brushed, cotton and polyester blend (85 percent polyester/15 percent cotton) drirelease® FreshGuard fabric that keeps its wearer dry, comfortable and free of odors. These fabric treatments enable the scrubs to resist piling and fading. Women’s scrub tops are available in sizes 0 – 16 and scrub pants are available in sizes 00 – 14 petite, 0 – 16 regular, and 0 – 16 tall.

Nature’s Best Encourage Us To Get In Shake!

Leave a comment

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.\

Study Reveals Worrying Results On Sexually Transmitted Infections

According to a new study of sexual health from Lloydspharmacy – 72% of men have never had an STI screen, compared to 62% of women. Lloydspharmacy also found men were almost twice as likely to test positive for certain STIs such as chlamydia.

13% of men buying chlamydia tests from Lloydspharmacy’s Online Doctor tested positive compared to just six per cent of women.

The research from the community pharmacy chain also found that men are placing themselves at greater risk of picking up an STI with 13% of men having had unprotected sex with more than one person over the last five years, almost double that of women (7%).

With the research revealing that men are more reluctant to be tested but significantly more likely to test positive than women, the findings fuel concerns that men may be delaying testing until they are showing symptoms and that real rates of infection are significantly higher than reported.

Although men are less likely to have had a face-to-face consultation for an STI screen, according to Lloydspharmacy sales of tests online are split almost equally between men and women. This suggests that men prefer the anonymity of the online channel.

Through its Online Doctor service the community pharmacy chain has launched a postal Platinum Test for men which screens for five genital infections; genital Chlamydia, genital gonorrhoea, mycoplasma, ureaplasma and trichomonas. This confidential postal service allows men to be tested and if found to be positive, treated without the need to visit their GP.

“The lower rate of face-to-face testing and higher incidence of positive results amongst men suggests that many men may be waiting until they suspect they have an infection before getting themselves tested”, said Clare Kerr, Lloydspharmacy’s head of sexual health. “This is particularly worrying as many STIs don’t have any obvious symptoms, so men could be putting both themselves and their partners at risk by delaying tests.”

“Embarrassment is a huge barrier to testing and so we hope that removing the need to see a GP or GUM clinic face-to-face will encourage men to test themselves regularly. We can provide accurate tests for a wide range of genital infections anonymously and discreetly through the Online Doctor.”
