New Treatment Offers Help for Gum Disease Sufferers

A new treatment claims to end gum disease for sufferers in just five hours using a gentle gum stretching technique.

(PRWEB) September 30, 2010

A new treatment claims to end gum disease for sufferers in just five hours using a gentle gum stretching technique.

BOST - Bone one session treatment - lasts four to five hours and involves pushing back the gums to reach the root of the tooth.

Gum disease, the primary cause of tooth loss, affects up to 50 per cent of the population with often irreversible consequences.

Early signs of infection are swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath and sensitivity. Known as gingivitis, if caught early the condition is easily treated with professional cleaning.

But in serious cases, the gums and underlying ligaments can become infected. This condition, periodontitis, may result in the teeth moving out of alignment. It can attack without symptoms and, despite careful oral hygiene, erode the bone supporting teeth and cause gums to recede.

Patients who undergo BOST treatment then have to maintain their teeth with a special kit which helps to prevent reinfection. The treatment claims to offer a solution for those with advanced infection, though BOST”s pioneer Dr Micholt says some problems can be so severe that extraction is the only option.

Those seeking a set of pearly whites, should come for a consultation with The Hospital Group.

The specialist cosmetic dentistry clinics at The Hospital Group (http://www. thehospitalgroup. org/cosmetic-dentistry. php) offer teeth whitening, veneers and nusmile braces, amongst other specialist treatments, which can put an end to teeth woes.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group, said: “Dental hygiene is as important as looking after every other aspect of your health.

“The Hospital Group has clinics up and down the country, with highly trained specialist cosmetic dentists who can talk to you and consult on the best course of treatment.

“With Nusmile veneers, crowns and dental implants amongst some of the treatments on offer at The Hospital Group, people can achieve the smile they’ve always wanted safe in the knowledge they are in good hands.

“A dental consultation at The Hospital Group can put an end to years of worry and help people feel more confident about their appearance.”

The Hospital Group offer a range of dental treatments at specialist clinics located throughout the UK.

The NuSmile dentistry treatment (http://www. thehospitalgroup. org/teeth-veneers. php) centres at The Hospital Group perform over 200 procedures a year, including teeth whitening, pain-free veneers that require no drilling of your natural teeth, invisible braces, white fillings and porcelain crowns.

The Hospital Group is committed to providing the very highest standards and all procedures are performed by an expert medical team in state-of-the-art facilities that are second to none.

Med Services Europe Reveals How a Pharmaceutical Company Can Sell a Drug Before it is Approved

Medical marketing and business development expert describes how pharmaceutical companies can generate important revenues while drug development is still in progress.

(PRWEB) February 8, 2005

How can a start-up, cash hungry, biotech company generate much needed revenues? Dr. Gene Emmer President of Med Services Europe B. V. (www. MedServicesEurope. com) advises them to consider if a European "named patient program" might be an option.

A named-patient program allows physicians and their patients access to drugs which have not yet received approval for marketing by national health authorities. "European Named Patient Programs, like US compassionate use programs, offer physicians access to pharmaceuticals which have not yet been licensed" explained Dr. Emmer, "However, there is one important difference: in Europe an unlicensed drug is often purchased by National Health Systems." This presents drug-makers with an opportunity to generate revenues while development is still in-progress.

Significant Revenues Are Possible

The additional revenues can be considerable. For example, a source at Pharmion, a US based company focusing on Oncology and Hematology reported dramatic increases in its Thalidomide sales from $1.9 million in 2Q Â‘03 to $15.3 million in 2Q Â‘04, primarily due to named patient sales in Europe for Multiple Myeloma. Thalidomide sales accounted for approximately 75% of PharmionÂ’s total revenues for the first half of 2004, according to company sources, and were generated while the product awaits marketing approval for this indication. Before receiving European Marketing Approval, ShireÂ’s ArgylinÂ® for essential thrombocythaemia generated about 5% of its total sales from its European named patient program.

Other Benefits of Named Patient Programs

A named patient program can speed uptake after official launch. Physicians, who have had experience before launch, via clinical trials or named patient programs, often become early adopters and references for other physicians once the drug is freely circulating.

Named patient programs, like US compassionate use programs, can increase good-will toward the company because they simplify the process of gaining access for patients in critical need. Smaller companies often can not afford the administrative time and costs of shipping drugs around the world before launch. This can lead to frustration and resentment towards a company that many physicians will remember long after a drug is officially on the market. Creating a formal channel eliminates the unfortunate need of denying requests and risking ill-will later.

A named patient program should be considered an important part of a pre-launch program. It increases awareness to a pharmaceuticalÂ’s existence, creates excitement, generates good-will and speeds penetration of the product after launch.

Frequent Communication is Necessary

If one of the objectives is to generate revenues, setting up a named patient program is just the beginning. In order to achieve success, physicians need to be aware of the product and what they need to do to get it. Typical methods of informing physicians, such as sales rep visits and ads, may not be appropriate because a license is necessary to market a drug. While physicians are used to simply writing a prescription and being done with it, named patient programs require paper-work that some find tedious. Therefore the company needs to create an appropriate communication plan and work closely with the targeted medical community to keep them informed and simplify the process.

Issues to Consider

You have decided to make a named patient program part of your pre-marketing plan, what now?

If you do not have an experienced European marketing group, an organization that is familiar in sales and marketing of pharmaceuticals in Europe can help you to maximize participation in the named patient program. A communication plan, if properly developed and implemented can increase product awareness, but communication concerning an unlicensed product must be done appropriately. This plan should ensure that your entire target group:

Â• Is fully aware of the product AND the program

Â• Knows what needs to be done to take advantage of the program

Â• Has an advocate available to guide them through the process

SINGLE MOMZ MAGAZINE STARTED OUT AS AN ONLINE MAGAZINE IN 2001 BUT IS EXPANDING TO PRINT IN 2002

Single Momz Magazine, an online magazine dedicated to educating, empowering, and entertaining today's single mother will venture to the world of print publishing beginning mid-February 2002.

(PRWEB) January 10, 2002

After nine successful months on the Internet, Single Momz Magazine (www. singlemomzmag. web. com), established by veteran journalist and single mother, Feona Sharhran Huff, is expanding its editorial outreach to the print world. The hard copy version of Single Momz will kick off as a one-pager within New York based Black Reign News in mid-February -- with plans of branching off as its own full-scale print publication.

Â“Ultimately, my goal is to publish Single Momz as a 60-plus page print magazine that will give single m others the opportunity of reading it from cover to cover while en route to work, waiting in long lines, or simply sitting in the living room for some much-needed quality literature,Â” explains Feona.

The print one-pager will offer many of the same departments that are available online, including Personal Finance, Fashion & Beauty, Entertainment, Kidz Korner, Contests, and a mini feature story. However, the editorial content will be strictly original.

Â“If people read Single Momz articles online, I want them to get a different spin in print,Â” insists Feona. Â“And if the print version is readersÂ’ first introduction to my magazine, I want it to entice them to check it out online. Either way, I want to encourage readership.Â”

Single Momz was launched online in March 2001 as a service to all the single mothers around the world who are overtly ignored by the majority of parenting magazines, and by people in general who deem single mothers as a disgrace to two-parent households. Also, it wanted to dispel some myths passed down for years by closed-minded individuals who believe that if a child isnÂ’t raised by a mother and father, he/she will lack a strong

Self-esteem and wind up a misfit, displaced in the world.

Â“Single mothers and their children are so much more than what society considers them. These women are CEOs, judges, doctors, authors, philanthropists, and much more. Their children are happy, healthy, and budding leaders of tomorrow,Â” affirms Feona. Â“I was raised by an incredible, hardworking single mother who instilled solid values in me, and I turned out wonderful. I unfortunately know some people who were raised in two-parent homes and theyÂ’re mentally and emotionally in shambles. Now, if those with the power to help my parental population decline to acknowledge and assist us, I will.Â”

The print version of Single Momz is available in New York wherever Black Reign News is sold or via subscription. For more information, contact Feona at 347-661-5394 or e-mail her at publisher_singlemomzmag@yahoo. com.

Outreach For Art Goes Techie

Congressman Adam Schiff of the 29th Congressional District, a long time advocate of arts, culture and education welcomed a group of arts and culture community leaders from diverse ethnicities and organizations who share the same passion and mission to provide services to children, whether it is arts and culture, education, health, etc.

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2006

Congressman Adam Schiff of the 29th Congressional District, a long time advocate of arts, culture and education welcomed a group of arts and culture community leaders from diverse ethnicities and organizations such as the FilAm Kiwanis of Glendale (Marlene Cagatao, President), Walker & Associates, LLC (Grace Walker, CEO), Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition & Festival (Armen Ter-tatevosian, Founder), Vahan Mirakian Foundation (Marika Mirakian, President) and Filipino American Business Association Group (Mike Catala, Member).

This eclectic mix of the most unlikely to partner have a collaborative working relationship. They share the same passion and mission to provide services to children, whether it is arts and culture, education, health, etc.

The Congressman presented these community leaders with certificates of service recognizing their community outreach work benefiting children. The group shared their upcoming projects with Congressman Schiff. He was impressed with their creative zeal to make things happen in spite of the drastic reductions in art and culture budgets nationally, educational budget cuts, and the intense competition for public and private grants. This group has come together in a “cross collaborative” effort to share resources, such as mailing lists, advisory board members and exchanging marketing opportunities as a means to enhance the growth and development of all the individual endeavors. Marlene Cagatao says, “Technology enables efficient information sharing that is much more accessible with little or minimal cost incurred.” The Internet allows non-profits instantaneous communications, news dissemination, advocacy campaigns, and file sharing. Other features include online donations and event registrations that make funding just a click away. All of this adds to the endless creative funding possibilities.

Schiff complimented the group and shared how he was inspired to see community-based organizations coalesce to accomplish their goals in a more powerful way. He also lauded the group’s proactive and creative way of networking and sharing resources and encouraged other non-profit organizations to adopt this model to better impact the community they serve.

Such a partnership of arts, culture, education and other non profits establish collaboration that has the potential to capture the attention of sponsors who find that the marriage of the organizations’ targeted audience fulfill their broader base interests and under one umbrella, can fund their programs. Arts and culture is a perfect mix with education as is health as one such wonderful combination.

These groups have empowered themselves by taking charge of their community outreach efforts by seeking new and alternative funding rather than sitting back and waiting for the government to come to their aid.

Recognizing their creative resourcefulness, Schiff's office extended his commitment to assist the group’s efforts.

As the architects of this collaboration, Walker & Associates, LLC (www. gwalker. org) is excited about the possibilities and looks forward to working with other organizations as well.

Facial Rejuvenation (Cosmetic Acupuncture) to Erase Wrinkles & Renew Youth, Offers Benefits Over Chemicals or Surgery

The newest way to replenish the skin, erase lines, and delay the aging process is cosmetic acupuncture (facial rejuvenation), the non-chemical alternative. Without the danger of injecting chemicals into the skin, acupuncture offers a non-surgical approach for those trying to renew the look of youth.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 24, 2006

Instead of using chemicals or surgery to erase age lines or eliminate wrinkles, the Chinese practice of acupuncture (facial rejuvenation) offers many benefits to patients who want to revitalize the look and feel of their skin. It builds collagen, tones muscles, improves circulation, and moistens skin with no risk of skin pigmentation, scars, infections, rashes, or toxic build-up of chemicals.

The results are truly dazzling, and these days it is becoming a treatment of choice for many, largely because it offers a non-surgical alternative for those trying to renew the look of their youth.

However, like any trend, patients should take the time to assure the technique is being delivered safely and effectively. Kristin Misik, a licensed NYC-based acupuncturist, reminds patients that when considering a facial rejuvenation, to pay attention to the following:

Safety: Is this procedure safe for you? Facial rejuvenation is not for everybody. In fact, it is not recommended for patients with pacemakers, pituitary disorders, high blood pressure, anemia, migraines, diabetes, pregnancy or for patients with scaring/skin thickening from a surgical face lift or dermabrasion. Before you begin, make sure the procedure is safe for you.

Costs: Are the costs reasonable? Initial consultation and treatment for facial rejuvenation is, on average $120, with the average treatment costing about $100 per treatment. Because some practitioners are hiking up the price to compete with chemical treatments, the asking price can be as high as $450 per treatment. Before proceeding, consumers should be educated about the current market price and the practitioner’s cost.

Payment Plans: Because this art is predicated on follow-up treatments, consumers should make sure the practitioner offers a package deal which is reasonable for these services. If it is not offered, make sure to ask for it. It is within reason of good customer service.

Timing: Patients should not have treatment for facial rejuvenation more than twice per week, safely. Any more than twice per week can lead to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness.

Experience: Is the practitioner credentialed? How do you know? Are their credentials current and available for you to see? What is their stated area of expertise? All licensed acupuncturists should be credentialed by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Business Value of ITIL Part 2 Expands on Original Paper with Q3 Survey Results, New Data Points and Complete and Updated Metrics for Calculating ITIL ROI

Evergreen Systems Announces the Release of 'Developing the Business Case for ITIL Part 2': White Paper and Q3 2006 Survey Results

Sterling, VA (PRWEB) December 14, 2006

Evergreen Systems, a leading IT consulting firm, today announced the release of its sequel to 'Developing the Business Case for ITIL'. This continuation of the original paper includes new survey results on how Fortune 1000 companies across industries are using old and new metrics to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of such ITIL-based projects as Incident, Problem, Change, Configuration, Release, Service Level and Financial Management.

This newly released guide includes survey results on developing the business value of ITIL gathered at the September itSMF National Conference. One hundred (100) IT executives from 90 companies participated in the survey, which revealed that although the organizations are clearly focused on their ITIL priorities (service quality and delivery) and their top ITIL initiatives (CMDB, Incident and Problem Management, Service Catalog and Change and Release Management), most are still stumbling over the challenge of quantifying and articulating the value of these initiatives to the business.

Recommendations from the survey include the analysis and re-engineering of key workflows with concurrent calculations on value contribution, including efficiency and labor savings, as well as risk reduction. Final conclusions include the finding that although enterprises are more focused than ever on exactly which initiatives are being targeted, much work still needs to be done on workflow analysis and metrics with ROI calculation to prove the value of ITIL initiatives to the business. For a full copy of the survey results go to the link below:

Www. itilroi. com/pr. html (http://www. itilroi. com/pr. html )

This sequel to the original 'Developing the Business Case for ITIL' makes the point that even though less than half of today's businesses are developing business value and ROI to justify IT spending, that trend is changing quickly. Going forward, IT departments must develop business value justification and ROI to fund new projects. This is evidenced by increasing pressure on IT executives to not only justify investments via traditional internal metrics (such as numbers of servers per system administrator) but also to expand into metrics that quantify IT's value to the business, such as 'annual contribution' to the business, 'benefit per developer' and other types of metrics, such as increasing IT staff time on innovation versus operations.

Templates are offered for capturing specific metrics for Incident and Problem Management; Change, Release and Configuration Management; and Service Level and Financial Management. In general, efficiency, effectiveness and customer satisfaction, applied to these practice areas, lead the way for the development of 'core' metrics, particularly for IT infrastructure projects. Although each of these areas will have their own specific metrics, prior to business case development these metrics must be merged to reflect results based on 'end-to-end' service delivery. These 'end-to-end' metrics should reflect values that reach across the lines of business, highlighting the overall contribution to the business. This approach integrates traditional, internal IT performance metrics with broader business value metrics.

This practical guide concludes that the entire development of business value process should be linked to a broader ITIL strategy that involves creating consensus around the acceptance of ITIL projects and selling the business value using metrics. Go to the link below to receive your copy.

Rising Star of UK Lighting Design Gets Green Light from Photonic Products

Photonic Products Ltd, the laser diode specialist company, is proud to be sponsoring Paul Cocksedge, the keynote speaker at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada. Paul Cocksedge is one of the UKÂ’s hottest new lighting designers.

(PRWEB) September 7, 2005

Photonic Products Ltd, the laser diode specialist company, is proud to be sponsoring Paul Cocksedge, the keynote speaker at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, September 22-23, 2005, in Toronto.

Paul Cocksedge is one of the UKÂ’s hottest new lighting designers. He will present his revolutionary lighting designs plus an overview of the latest products, designers, innovations in technology and emerging lighting trends coming out of the UK today.

Â“CrystallizeÂ”, designed by Paul Cocksedge for the Swarovski Crystal Palace Collection, is a chandelier made from light. When there is no light the chandelier disappears. Using lasers and crystals in perfect alignment, the iconic shape of a Swarovski crystal is drawn in mid air. At the heart of the chandelier is a single crystal which sparkles as it catches the light.

The development of this chandelier was made using Photonic ProductsÂ’ green laser modules.

The 532nm DPSS green laser module is a compact, self-contained module designed for use where a highly visible beam is required, primarily in alignment and also machine vision, industrial inspection and scientific equipment.

It produces a very visible circular output beam of less than 2.0mm diameter and output powers of 0.9mW and 4mW with a maximum operating current of 250mA. Power stability is better than 5% over 7 hours. Modulation capability of 0-1kHz is standard. In addition, the module uses a front facet monitor photodiode to maintain a stable output power, as opposed to using the internal monitor of the laser diode, which is often less responsive.

IIDEX/NeoCon Canada is Canada's largest conference and exposition for the design, construction and management of the built environment. This presentation is a keynote lecture in the Â“Exposure to LightÂ” program focused on lighting and takes place on Thursday, September 22.

Paul Cocksedge studied industrial design at Sheffield Hallam University and product design under Ron Arad at the Royal College of Art in London.

Since graduating from the RCA, he has emerged as one of the UKÂ’s most prolific young designers. He has exhibited his work at the Design Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum and was one of the four designers nominated for the Design MuseumÂ’s Designer of the Year prize in 2004.

Â“He is only in his early 20s but, is already a master of the medium, combining a healthy sense of irony with technological maturity...his work is an incredible lyrical interpretation of the potential of light. These are experimental works that make you think.'Â”

Jane Pavitt, curator 'Brilliant' Victoria & Albert Museum

Â“A rising star of lighting design, the young British designer Paul Cocksedge creates visually spectacular and technically ingenious lights that celebrate the magical and transformative qualities of illumination.Â” Â© Design Museum

Photonic Products was established in 1995 and is a manufacturer of electro-optical sub-assemblies and innovative optoelectronic components based on semiconductor laser diode technology and also a specialist distributor of high performance industrial laser diodes, LEDs and precision optical lenses. It is a QueenÂ’s Award for International Enterprise winner.

The British Journal of Sports Medicine Reveals Secrets of Muscle-Building Science

Recent research published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine (http://bjsm. bmjjournals. com) reveals that ultra-hydrolyzed proteins can trigger extreme muscle growth in athletes. This new rapid-action technology—first made commercially available in the US via NutraQuest and its landmark MyoZene muscle-synthesizing protein matrix, has proven uniquely effective in setting off a chain reaction of positive anabolic developments that can lead to significantly greater size and strength gains.

Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) September 7, 2006

In the world of sports nutrition, yesterday’s “fast” is today’s “slow.” That’s what the field’s top scientists and researchers are coming to understand in the wake of recent high-level study regarding the relationship between high-intensity exercise, protein supplementation, and increased muscle mass.

Supplementation experts have always emphasized the paramount importance of supplying muscle tissue with amino acids as swiftly as possible after exercise. Now, however, with the recent publication of an influential paper in the British sports medicine press, those experts are beginning to recognize that traditional whey protein formulations may be too slow-digesting to get the job done properly.

What is needed, according to Anssi Manninen, a leading authority on hard-core sports nutrition, is an entirely new elite class of ultra-hydrolyzed proteins that can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without going through the standard digestion process. Manninen’s research, published in an article in the prestigious British Journal of Sports Medicine, asserts that only these rapid-acting proteins are capable of reaching muscle tissue swiftly enough to maximize muscle anabolism during a critical post-workout “anabolic” window of opportunity which exists for as little as 90 minutes after exercise.

Needless to say, these surprising revelations have left athletes wondering where to turn for the ultra-assimilatable proteins they require to fuel real mass gains.

Fortunately, some of the industry’s more innovative and forward-thinking manufacturers are already on the case. In fact, one such manufacturer, NutraQuest of New Jersey, has just introduced a breakthrough protein formulation based on the new science of rapid-action protein hydrolysates. This next-generation, ultimate anabolic agent, called MyoZene, contains a special pharmaceutical form of hydrolyzed protein that has never before been available to athletes.

But first, let’s take a look at this new science. Manninen’s article reviews and quotes from new research being done in a number of countries. One such study, conducted at Maastricht University, examined blood insulin responses after co-ingestion of protein hydrolysate (rich in small peptides) with and without additional free leucine. The result? Blood insulin responses were 66% and 221% greater in the healthy controls in the carbs-plus-protein-hydrolysate and carbs-plus-protein-hydrolysate-and-free-leucine trials, respectively, compared with those in the carbs-only trial. In other words, this study demonstrated that co-ingestion of a protein hydrolysate strongly augments insulin secretion (a key component of muscle mass accrual and maintenance).

In another study, conducted on protein hydrolysates at the Copenhagen Muscle Research Center, it was determined that “whey protein hydrolysate elicited the greatest availability of amino acids during the three-hour postprandial (occurring after a meal) period. This difference was attributed to the rapid increase in blood amino acids evoked during the first 40 minutes of the digestive period, during which the increase was about 37% greater after the ingestion of whey protein hydrolysate solution than that after ingestion of the intact milk protein solution.” The authors suggested that the association of high levels of blood amino acids and insulin might explain a superiority of protein hydrolysates over intact proteins in promoting better nitrogen utilization (i. e., greater anabolism), especially when administered in combination with high-glycemic carbohydrates.

The importance of these studies for athletes is unmistakable. Ultra-hydrolyzed proteins show great promise as a trigger for increased insulin response and greatly enhanced delivery of key aminos to nutrient-starved muscle tissue.

Clearly, the twin sciences of protein formulation and muscle-mass enhancement have entered into a period of great transformation. Advanced products such as NutraQuest’s MyoZene—as well as other competing formulations soon to be introduced—represent the wave of the future. The time of bulky, slow-acting protein formulations has come and gone. Athletes looking for a dramatic mass-building advantage would be well-advised to seek out the first of the new high-impact, high-performance, ultra-hydrolyzed specialty products.

Grassroot Soccer and (RED)TM Team Up to Save Lives through INSPI(RED) SOCCER

Partnership links leaders in the fight against HIV to engage students as advocates through 3v3 soccer tournaments held on high school and college campuses around the world.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2011

Grassroot Soccer, a leading non-profit organization that utilizes the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize communities in Africa to stop the spread of HIV, and (RED), a brand designed to engage the private sector in raising awareness and funds to help eliminate AIDS in Africa, today announced INSPI(RED) SOCCER, a new partnership to save lives through 3v3 soccer tournaments throughout high schools and colleges across the country.

Formerly called Lose The Shoes, hundreds of high schools, colleges/universities, and youth organizations have been hosting tournaments benefitting Grassroot Soccer over the past several years. Since the inception of Lose The Shoes in 2006, more than $250,000 has been raised to provide HIV prevention and health education for youth in Africa.

INSPI(RED) SOCCER is sport with a purpose. It’s fun, energy, music, and films. It’s youth around the world helping to eliminate AIDS by fighting for an AIDS Free Generation, where every child is born HIV free and with a chance for a healthy future. It’s the global soccer community coming together to solve one of the world’s most pressing health crises. INSPI(RED) SOCCER is an effort organized by college and high school volunteers, soccer players, campus organizations, or students, who want to make a difference.

“(RED) is excited to partner with Grassroot Soccer and engage young people in the fight to create a generation that is better equipped to beat AIDS,” said Jenifer Willig, CMO of (RED). “At (RED) we are focused on helping raise funds and awareness of the global healthy communities' goal of eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and making the possibility of an AIDS Free Generation born in 2015 a reality.”

All funds raised will support Grassroot Soccer’s INSPI(RED) SOCCER events in Africa, which consists of access to HIV education, testing, and treatment for youth through soccer based activities. For every $2,500 raised through student-driven INSPI(RED) SOCCER events, 100 youth will participate in a life-changing INSPI(RED) SOCCER event in Africa.

The first public announcement of INSPI(RED) SOCCER will take place at the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Annual Convention in Baltimore, MD, beginning on January 13, 2010. There will be the opportunity to hear more about INSPI(RED) SOCCER, sign up to host a tournament, and receive complimentary (PRODUCT)RED™ partner items at the Convention.

To learn more about INSPI(RED) SOCCER, please visit http://www. grassrootsoccer. org or contact INSPIREDSOCCER(at)grassrootsoccer(dot)org.

About Grassroot Soccer
Founded by former professional soccer players in 2002, Grassroot Soccer (GRS) trains African soccer stars, coaches, teachers, and peer educators in the world’s most HIV-affected countries to deliver an interactive HIV prevention and life skills curriculum to youth. Translating research into action and leveraging the excitement around the 2010 World Cup, GRS attracts and engages young people through schools, community outreach, and social multimedia (e. g. magazines and TV). GRS has educated more than 350,000 kids via its ‘Skillz’ curriculum, and is a leader in the sport for development movement. For more information, visit http://www. grassrootsoccer. org.

About (RED)™ and (PRODUCT)RED™

Fitness Celebrity & Weight Loss Success Story Jennifer Nicole Lee Reaches Out to Oprah Winfrey in her Recent Weight Gain Plight

Fitness Celebrity & former Oprah Winfrey Show guest Jennifer Nicole Lee (JNL) is reaching out to Oprah during her recently acknowledged & publicly vocalized weight gain. As featured on various news outlets this week, Oprah has admitted to have "fallen off the wagon" when it comes to healthy living and stated her current weight is 200 pounds. As a former yo-yo dieter who finally "cracked the code" to her fat burning potential, Jennifer Nicole Lee's personal success story was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006. Inspiring and helping women from all around the world, JNL wants to reach out to Oprah in order to help her during this struggle and get her back on the right track. "Being a weight loss success story myself and knowing what it takes to lose the weight and build a new strong body for good makes the ideal candidate to work with Oprah one on one, to finally and forever unlock her fat burning potential," states JNL.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 12, 2008

Winfrey, 54, details her recent struggles with an out-of-balance thyroid and how the condition made her develop "a fear of working out." She says she's added 40 pounds to her frame since she weighed 160 pounds in 2006. "I'm embarrassed," she writes. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, `How did I let this happen again?'"

As a former yo-yo dieter who finally "cracked the code" to her fat burning potential, Jennifer Nicole Lee's personal success story was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006. After the birth of her children, JNL lost an astounding 80 pounds and went on to become Ms. Bikini America thus catapulting her career in the health and fitness industry. With key media appearances on Oprah, E! Entertainment, Inside Edition, Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, JNL has gone on to be a successful fitness cover model, fitness expert, author, wellness guru, entrepreneur and BSN Supplements Spokesmodel. JNL's Oprah feature aired twice, both airings being top rated. It was also that very episode that can be accredited for inspiring the then overweight actress Kirstie Alley to lose weight and come back on the show wearing a bathing suit almost exactly a year later.

Inspiring and helping women from all around the world, JNL wants to reach out to Oprah in order to help her during this struggle and get her back on the right track.

"Being a weight loss success story myself and knowing what it takes to lose the weight and build a new strong body for good makes the ideal candidate to work with Oprah one on one, to finally and forever unlock her fat burning potential," states JNL.

Her consulting firm, JNL Inc. has become one the fastest growing fitness and lifestyle companies to date offering a variety of wellness consultations and online women's fitness programs including innovative online programs such as www. FitnessModelProgram. com, www. BikiniModelProgram. com, www. TheSexyBodyDiet. com and www. NewYearEvolution. com

When asked about the stressors of every day life, and being able to balance it all, JNL states, "I will help Oprah make the big transition from being interested in losing weight to making a conscious decision and dedicated choice to become strong, healthy and super fit from now on, and show her how to make this life long change permanent. My life coaching skills will allow Oprah to make her weight loss permanent. It's about making the decision and sticking with it. And the fact that Oprah has publically declared that she not only wants to become thin, but rather strong proves that her mindset about her lifelong weight loss is on the right track."

JNL stated that she would modify Oprah's lifestyle, exercise, and food plan program immediately by following her tried and true weight loss, fat blasting and muscle building program.

"First of all, I would get Oprah off of the all vegan diet and off soy milk ASAP. We all know that Oprah needs a sufficient amount of lean proteins, healthy whole grain carbs, and more fruits and vegetables. What I know that other so called weight loss experts don't is that she (Oprah) needs to really make the mental change and emotional shift regarding food. And with a thyroid problem, all of her soy based foods did not help. Soy raises a woman's estrogen level, thus making her hoard onto fat, not allowing her body to release it with diet and exercise."

In addition, JNL would create a specialized weight and strength training program for Oprah to follow at least 4 to 5 days a week. "She needs to recharge her sleeping metabolism and make it burn fat faster with weight training, good for you healthy oils like organic virgin unrefined coconut oil, and other super foods, such as lean red meat," says JNL.

JNL also suggests that Oprah embrace training with weights to make life long lasting changes, and to also associate more pleasure to eating healthy and exercising than she does pain. "As humans we are driven by 2 distinct behavior pillars: Pain and Pleasure. Coaching Oprah to connect pleasure to her new fit lifestyle and pain to not following through will be one of my main instrumental steps in getting Mrs. Winfrey on her upward spiral and off her downward spiral of continuous yo-yo dieting. The fact that she has a long standing past of diet relapse and back peddling in her weight loss proves that she has not yet made the decision to lose weight with conviction. I will coach her not to only lose weight, but to gain energy, stamina and endurance. On a subconscious level, she wants to lose weight, but when you lose something you only go looking for it again, and thus the regain of weight. But coaching her to gain new aspects to her physical fitness such as a new found physical strength; she will only grow to be better, fitter and stronger."

Piribo: Drug Safety for Marketed Drugs, New Publication Announcement

Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report called “Drug Safety for Marketed Drugs”.

(PRWEB) September 16, 2006

Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report called “Drug Safety for Marketed Drugs”. http://www. piribo. com/publications/sales_marketing/drug_safety_marketed_drugs. html (http://www. piribo. com/publications/sales_marketing/drug_safety_marketed_drugs. html)

Safety surveillance has much to offer as a powerful knowledge-based tool capable of defending company products in the marketplace while conducting its primary function of safeguarding public health. However, this asset is not translating much beyond the cloistered walls of its practitioners in industry and health authorities.

Clearly, a formidable arsenal has been developed over time: a scientific conceptual base, legislation, data systems, sophisticated technological support

hard - and software monitoring and analytical systems, quality controls with audit and inspection, and communication tools. The eyeforpharma conference on Drug Safety for Marketed Drugs, held in Amsterdam on 22-23 November 2005, demonstrated that, as a whole, this arsenal works. And yet there is a lack of awareness of its impact where it matters the end user (the medical practitioner and patient). This KeywordPharma Conference Insights review, published by NetworkPharma Ltd, comprises the highlights of a selection of presentations from the eyeforpharma conference, providing a platform for how and where the industry can improve drug safety. Crucially, it also outlines how companies can communicate the true and undoubted value of safety surveillance.

“Drug Safety for Marketed Drugs” is available from Piribo. For more information go to: http://www. piribo. com/publications/sales_marketing/drug_safety_marketed_drugs. html (http://www. piribo. com/publications/sales_marketing/drug_safety_marketed_drugs. html)

Three-Step Detoxification Therapy Program Focuses on Well Being through the Feet

A new detoxification therapy program combines a foot bath, massage experience and herbal tea detox formula to optimize and health and energy.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) July 15, 2006

Walking along a clean, quiet beach is said to have one of the best natural detoxification effects.

After a walk along the beach breathing becomes easier, anxiety disappears, and pain is lessened. It is not only the cool breezes that can be attributed to this, but there is also a scientific explanation.

As water molecules crash into earth, they release negative ions. The negative and positive ions mix and form energy when our positive-filled ion bodies absorb them. This gives our body the power to fight disease, improve organ function and eliminate waste regularly.

“The problem,” David Black, founder of Body Balance Systems (BBS), said, “is that this ionization process simply does not work as much as it should.” Pollution has taken its toll on our negative ion sources, and sometimes even a walk on the beach will not give our body its much-needed negative ions.”

Black’s three-step detoxification therapy program focuses on the feet to recharge the body and increase well being, overall health, and balance.

The first step in the three-step process is a 10- to 30-minute foot massage from the Miracle Electro-Wave Foot Massager. The second step is a 20- to 45-minute session with the BBS ionic-foot bath of warm mineral sea salt water. The third step is an additional 10 to 15 minutes with the massager.

The first step helps the bodies organs energize and release toxins into the blood and lymphatic system. The second step removes the toxins in the lymphatic system and energizes the blood. The third step helps heal and energize the body after the detoxification process.

The ionic therapeutic footbath flushes out the toxins through ionization. It has also been said, among many other things, to relieve arthritis, help cancer patients increase energy, alleviate neck and back pain, and generally return to the body to a more well-balanced state.

One happy supporter of BBS said: “The footbath was demonstrated for me one afternoon at a nutrition club that I belong to. I could not believe the difference the next day when I was jogging. My knees did not swell or throb and I did not have to ice them upon my return. As I use it again and again, I am finding it is not only helping with my arthritis, but with a stomach disorder that flares up as well.”

“After the foot bath and massage treatment,” Black said, “people should drink an herbal tea with mineral water to achieve the maximum benefit of the cleansing. The tea will replenish the body and enhance the detoxification process.”

Black recommends 14 treatment sessions, two to three times per week. A maintenance program of once a week thereafter will help keep control of toxins in your body. Results may vary. People with greater illness may take longer to detoxify and heal.

DB Research, LC (DBR), the company behind the product, has partnered with Body Balance System of Orlando to assist in restoring energy and facilitating detoxification through the skin, which is the second-largest detoxifying system in the body. The feet are a great place to detox from because the pores of the feet are proportionally larger than many other skin pores in the body.
