Dream Foods International, LLC (www. dreamfoods. com), a specialized importer of Sicilian not-from-concentrate citrus varietal juices, releases important information about the health benefits and high antioxidants in its Italian Volcano® brand of organic blood orange juice that sets it apart from both other orange and super-premium juices.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) September 16, 2008

Dream Foods International, LLC (www. dreamfoods. com), a specialized importer of Sicilian not-from-concentrate citrus varietal juices, releases important information about the health benefits and high antioxidants in its Italian Volcano® brand of organic blood orange juice that sets it apart from both other orange and super-premium juices.

Antioxidants and Vitamin C: A Powerful Combination
Italian Volcano® Blood Orange juice has both powerful antioxidants, which traditional original juice lacks, and equally high amounts of Vitamin C, which beverages like pomegranate and acai juice, do not contain. Recent studies have also shown that antioxidants play an important role of Vitamin C absorption. "This juice offers a healthy union of antioxidants and Vitamin C in one bottle. Along with delicious taste, our Italian Volcano® Blood Orange juice is an excellent way to celebrate good health," declared Kahane.

"Unlike traditional orange, blood oranges are rich in antioxidants, crucial properties that have been shown to aid in the prevention of inflammatory diseases while containing essential vitamins and minerals. Our Italian Volcano® brand of organic blood orange juice also contains components called phytochemicals, which include polyphenol antioxidants: these protective agents insulate the blood oranges from enemies like insects, bacteria, and fungi. Italian blood oranges have especially high levels of antioxidants because of the distinct climate near the Mount Etna Volcano where we harvest our juice," said Adriana Kahane, CEO and Founder of Dream Foods International, LLC. "The vibrant color of blood oranges - the rich redness of each bottle of our Italian Volcano® juice - is the result of anthocyanins (which give it red pigment), which many scientists believe increases wellness and longevity. "

Additional Health Benefits of Italian Volcano® Blood Orange Juice
ο High in antioxidants
ο High in potassium
ο Low sodium
ο Low fat
ο High in vitamin C and iron

This 100% USDA organic juices, which are available in 750ml glass bottles and have a suggested retail of $5.49. Consumers may purchase this line of juices in supermarket produce departments and at select natural food specialty stores.

Birmingham Vascular Surgeon, Dr. John Kingsley to Receive Award From VNUS Medical Technologies

Birmingham Vascular Surgeon, Dr. John Kingsley to Receive Award From VNUS Medical Technologies

John Kingsley, M. D.,F. A.C. S.,R. V.T., will be presented with an award for the completion of 500 VNUS procedures by VNUS Medical Technologies on Friday morning, January 28, 2005 at 8:00 am at the Alabama Vascular & Vein Center.

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) January 26, 2005

Board certified by the American Board of Surgery in both Vascular and General Surgery, Kingsley has been practicing his specialty for over 20 years, and is an acknowledged expert in vein disorder problems, such as varicose veins and the latest methods to treat vein insufficiency and spider vein problems. He began the study of vascular ultrasound when this technology was invented in the early 1980's. He has written and lectured to peer societies and publications regarding ultrasound of the arteries and veins.

The award to be presented will acknowledge Dr. KingsleyÂ’s significant contribution in the adoption and use of the VNUS Closure system for the treatment of saphenous vein problems.

Dr. Kingsley grew up in Pensacola, Florida. He was educated in Florida and in the Navy. He moved to Alabama in 1992 and later accepted a teaching position with the Carraway clinic in Birmingham. Dr. Kingsley has a Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine Degrees from the University of Florida, He completed his surgery training at the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda Maryland.

He is doubly Board Certified by the American Board of Surgery in both General Surgery and Vascular Surgery.

He is one of approximately 3500 surgeons in the U. S. to have achieved Certification in Vascular Surgery, and one of about 1000 to have successfully completed the Vascular re-certification examinations. Dr. Kingsley is also an RVT, having completed the examinations for Registered Vascular Technology by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.

Dr. Kingsley is a member of the Medical Staffs of several Birmingham area hospitals. These include Brookwood Medical Center, Carraway Medical Center, and Shelby Baptist Medical Center among others.

Dr. Kingsley was recently selected one of the top surgeons in America, as published in the book "Guide to America's Top Surgeons." The book is published by the Consumers' Research Council of America; a Washington, D. C. based research organization.

About the VNUS Closure Procedure

The VNUS (pronounced venous) ClosureÃ’ procedure is a minimally invasive technology for treating superficial venous reflux, the underlying cause of many varicose vein problems, which are painful and unattractive.

According to the Handbook of Venous Disorders, 20-25 million Americans are afflicted with varicose veins. A leading cause of this medical condition is venous reflux disease caused by incompetent or “leaky” valves in the great saphenous vein running from groin to ankle in each leg. When vein valves deteriorate, blood flows backward in the veins (venous reflux) instead of towards the heart. This causes increased pressure in leg veins that often leads to leg pain, swelling, leg fatigue, varicose veins and even skin ulceration. Varicose veins frequently force people to dramatically change their lifestyle, especially when they have a standing profession and can no longer tolerate being on their feet all day. Market research indicates that over 2 million workdays are lost annually in the US and $1.4 billion is spent each year on this common medical condition.

Until the Closure system was developed and received clearance to market in the US in March 1999, physicians who wanted to address venous reflux and the underlying cause of leg swelling, pain and varicose veins, often elected to remove or "strip" the saphenous vein. Doctors would make an incision in the groin and a second incision below the knee or ankle, tie off the vein, then remove it with a long, surgical instrument extending inside the leg to the knee. The resulting postoperative convalescence lasted weeks and entailed significant bruising and discomfort. This procedure is still widely done.

Dr. Kingsley is an experienced Vascular Surgeon who routinely performs the Closure procedure. He is articulate, telegenic and has no financial interest in the Closure technology. He has done more than 500 Closure cases.

Worldwide more than 75,000 cases have been performed. The procedure is widely embraced by vascular surgeons and is reimbursed by most insurance companies.

The Closure procedure has been the subject of numerous studies and journal articles. The results from a peer reviewed, multi-center randomized trial comparing recovery rates and quality of life between patients treated with conventional varicose vein stripping surgery and the Closure procedure (radiofrequency vein ablation), appeared in the August 2003 edition of the Journal of Vascular Surgery. This is the third randomized trial showing that the Closure procedure resulted in:

Less post-operative recuperation time Faster return to work and normal activities Less post-operative pain and limitation of physical activity

What has been confirmed again and again is that a physician can now make a single, small puncture near the knee and insert the slender Closure catheter into the saphenous vein running from knee to groin. The catheter is then positioned near the groin, energized with a radiofrequency generator and slowly withdrawn, sealing the vein shut. Swelling, bruising and pain are virtually eliminated in this outpatient procedure. Most patients return to normal activity within a day, as the latest research confirmed.

Best of all, once a defective saphenous vein is sealed shut, blood flow immediately diverts to healthy veins with good valves, and cosmetic issues are much easier to address.

For Further Information including interview opportunities with Dr. Kingsley and patients who have been treated using this procedure, broadcast quality animated video describing the procedures, and further information, please contact John Jenkins at edgemarketing Inc., 205-424-8840

Alan King Launches New Web Site About Pain Management

Alan King Launches New Web Site About Pain Management

Alan King's books on pain management using acupuncture and TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, are available at http://www. alanking. net.

Saltburn, North Yorkshire, UK (PRWEB) March 24, 2005 -

– Physiotherapist and pain management specialist Alan King has launched a new Web site at http://www. alanking. net (http://www. alanking. net) on managing pain with acupuncture and TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.

King has written several books and guides about TENS for both health professionals and people with no medical experience and regularly hosts pain management workshops at hospitals and clinics in the United Kingdom.

He is next scheduled to facilitate a “Study Day on Pain Management using TENS” April 5 for the staff at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, in Wales.

“People who treat pain as health professionals and those who suffer from pain require different levels of knowledge,” said King, a chartered physiotherapist with a practice in Saltburn, North Yorkshire. “So I have written separate books for laymen and professionals and offer them on my new Web site.”

His books include “King’s Guide to TENS;” “Guide to TENS for Health Professionals;” “Non Invasive Acupuncture for Everyone;” and “Pocket Book of Acupuncture Points.”

The books are useful either as a complete guide or as a reference for specific points of pain and their management. “It makes sense to read the appropriate guide in its entirety and note any precautions before undertaking any of the techniques involved,” King says.

Western style acupuncturists believe that acupuncture works as a pain management tool by stimulating parts of the nervous system and brain to block pain or to encourage the formation and release of the body's own pain blocking chemicals.

TENS also works to stimulate the bodyÂ’s natural pain killers. It works with a small, battery-powered TENS unit to produce a small electric current on the skin. It manages pain by 'blocking' the pain messages as they enter the spinal cord or by stimulating nerves which carry messages up the spine to areas of the brain.

“TENS is not a cure for pain,” King adds. Instead, people who use the TENS unit can gain control of their pain and get back to a normal life.

“King's Guide to TENS” is the most popular of the books for people with no previous medical knowledge, offering an illustrated and simple step-by-step guide to managing pain using a TENS unit. The second edition, published in 2001, is available at http://www. alanking. net (http://www. alanking. net) and at online bookstores.

Reimage Named 'Cool Vendor' by Leading Industry Analyst Firm

Reimage Named 'Cool Vendor' by Leading Industry Analyst Firm

Innovative Technology Company Developing Ground Breaking Products and Services Receives Prestigious Recognition--Companies Listed in the "Cool Vendor" Report are Innovative and Impactful

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 8, 2009

Reimage is included in the list of "Cool Vendors" in the "Cool Vendors in Customer Service Strategies, Michael Maoz and Johan Jacobs, March 3, 2009" report by Gartner, Inc. According to the Gartner report, "Despite a difficult environment in which to raise equity, several companies in customer service and support area of CRM are developing innovative new products and services." It goes on to state, "The fact that Gartner had more than 10 candidates for our cool vendors in customer service strategies research illustrates the criticality of customer service at all points in the economy, but especially when there is a need to lower operational costs without undercutting the level of service." The complete report is available to Gartner clients at www. Gartner. com.

Reimage (www. reimage. com), just one of four companies listed on the most recent 'Cool Vendor' report, offers a complete web-based diagnosis service, for professionals, PC technicians, IT administrators and home users, that automatically repairs dysfunctional PCs leaving user data intact and safe while boosting application performance by tracking and predicting users' actions. Being listed on the 'Cool Vendor' report is a tremendous honor stated Zak Dechovich, CEO of Reimage.

"We are extremely pleased to be recognized by Gartner in the Cool Vendors report" said Mr. Dechovich. "We believe it is a testament to the dynamic products and services we provide and our leading edge thinking in developing technology that is not only needed to ensure companies and individuals' PC computers are running effectively and efficiently but that we are an invaluable resource especially during these ever changing economic conditions when time and money is limited."

With Reimage's patent-pending technology, the operating system can be brought back to its most stable and best working condition possible within 30 minutes. The process takes into account all software on the machine--scanning hundreds of thousands of potential causes of disruption--essentially emulating the human brain and automating the way software problems are identified and repaired. Reimage eliminates the need for diagnostic decisions based on superficial symptoms by studying all software object and interlinked dependencies, and comparing that information with a proprietary Reimage repository containing over 20 million components. The technology then surgically pinpoints only faulty objects and dependencies. Throughout the process, user data and preferences remain untouched. According to Nicholas Black, Marketing Director of Reimage, the use of the repository allows to automatically correct any malfunctions, with no need for prior preparation.

"The repository is a fascinating and ever-growing organism that facilitates the repair of applications based on how they look when they are fully functional," said Mr. Black. "Each day, it grows. Each day, the potential for component recognition and restoration improves. The swift restoration of missing parts and the removal of redundant parts is far more efficient than the conventional method of reinstalling."

Mr. Black goes onto say that Reimage never touches a user's data. "The reason that we don't actually handle the user's data, which we all worry about, is because of our technical process. We only bring in select software components that we indentify as missing or isolate software components that shouldn't be in a user's system or different pieces of software that keep clashing. So in essence, we jump around your data and applications and inject healthy files so your data stays perfectly safe and untouched."

Reimage is utilized by hundreds or PC technicians world-wide and hundreds of thousands of home users. The company continues to grow rapidly showing strong and stable future viability as well as continued growth in supporting multiple languages including English, French, Spanish and Hebrew.

"We are in a great position to support all operating system problems even after other companies won't," said Mr. Dechovich. "When those companies stop supporting Windows XP or other operating systems such as Vista and Windows7, we will be the only ones with the know-how and ability to continue keeping PCs working at their best. We are pleased to be having the success that we are achieving and extremely excited about the future and possibilities for expanded global outreach."

About Gartner's Cool Vendor Selection Process
Gartner's listing does not constitute an exhaustive list of vendors in any given technology area, but rather is designed to highlight interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services. Gartner disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to this research, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness of a particular purpose. Gartner defines a cool vendor as a company that offers technologies or solutions that are: Innovative, enable users to do things they couldn't do before; Impactful, have, or will have, business impact (not just technology for the sake of technology); Intriguing, have caught Gartner's interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months.

Reimage
Reimage's instant, online, PC repair tool is a revolutionary new concept in PC repair that, for the first time ever, makes an old PC work like new. Reimage provides end user and professional tools, structured around its core technology. This technology increases the PC repair quality, and efficiency, by performing Windows XP repairs, in about 30 minutes requiring no set-up, at the click of a button. Reimage support is available in English, French, Spanish and Hebrew with additional languages being developed.

Angela Camilleri, coordinadora del programa Amigos por parte de Pfizer Health Solutions, explica "los promotores de salud ayudan a los pacientes tengan una comprensión más profunda de su salud y el comportamiento dentro del contexto de sus vidas. La pura complejidad de la diabetes y las barreras al cuidado que los pacientes deben sobrepasar requiere una estrategia de enfoques múltiples. Este acercamiento de enfoques hacia el paciente les da una oportunidad real y de largo plazo para que manejen exitosamente su diabetes". Ella agregó, " Los resultados de nuestros graduados iniciales demuestran mejoras en los resultados clínicos del HbA1c. El A1c común entre pacientes alistados fue 9.4% al principio del programa, esta suma cayó dos puntos en el porcentaje a 7.05 % - dentro de un rango normal - después de trabajar con promotores de salud por un período de seis meses. Los resultados de todos los participantes del programa estarán disponibles este otoño cuando esperamos que la mayoría de los pacientes se gradúen"

En el Condado de Los Ángeles, el 16% de hispanos mayor de 40 años sufre de diabetes. Para empeorar este problema muchos de ellos no tienen acceso a servicios de salud: se reporta que el 45% de latinos en el Condado de Los Ángeles no tienen acceso a seguro de salud, 36% no tiene un proveedor regular para el cuidado de sus enfermedades, y se reporta que el 54% son obesos, el cual es factor principal de riesgo para la diabetes. Un reciente estudio por el Centro médico de UCLA para Investigación de la Salud, reportó que los hispanos tienen tasas "extremadamente altas" de diabetes a comparación de otras razas no-blancas. La situación se complica más ya que los latinos sobre la edad de 65, tienen la incidencia más alta de diabetes (24 %) en proporción a los otros grupos.

Por seis meses los graduados participaron en un programa de educación sobre la diabetesenfocado en percepciones culturales esenciales para el manejo exitoso de la diabetes. Los promotores quienes proveen apoyo y educación sobre la salud, trabajan con pacientes recién diagnosticados en Español y enfocan la atención en creencias culturales populares, estrategias de cambio de comportamiento, y el uso de materiales de salud apropiados para ellos. Tomado en conjunto, se espera que esta estrategia incremente el deseo y la habilidad para alcanzar las metas de los pacientes y cambiar su comportamiento y el potencial para mejorla calidad de vida a largo plazo.

Edna Bush, enfermera y coordinadora del program Amigos en las Clínica Familiar QueensCare nos dice, "los participantes no siempre entienden que el diagnóstico de una enfermedad que potencialmente amenaza la vida como la diabetes, se puede controlar exitosamente por muchos años. La estrategia Amigos en Salud combina la enseñanza sobre la diabetes, cambio del comportamiento de los pacientes, y el auto-manejo de su enfermedad dentro del contexto de la cultura Latina. Los resultados del programa hasta ahora han sido alentadores y resalta el valor de las interacciones positivas que los promotores de salud tienen en la conportamiento de su tratamiento". El programa fue implementado en las Clínica Familiar QueensCare en Eagle Rock, y Echo Park, y en el Este de Los Ángeles. El Programa Amigos en Salud fue desarrollado por Pfizer Health Solutions en conjunto con las Clínicas Familiares QueensCare y es parcialmente patrocinado por la Fundación Pfizer.

"Es tremendamente edificante ver que nuestros pacientes han assimilado el programa y han hecho cambios en el manejo de su salud y conjuntamente con Pfizer, pudimos contribuir en este esfuerzo", dijo Terry Bonecutter, Presidente Ejecutivo de QueensCare. Bonecutter cree que la educación culturalmente relevante y él empoderar a los pacientes es un componente importante en el cuidado de la salud que progresivamente se integrara en el cuidado proveído en QueensCare.

America is Fed Up with Diet -- It's Time for the Anti-Diet Revolution

America is Fed Up with Diet -- It's Time for the Anti-Diet Revolution

Until now, women have suffered the ups and downs of yo-yo weight gain and loss. Now women can have their cake, eat it too, and still lose weight. Chocolate Cake for the Thighs: The Anti-diet book for women is all about allowing, with a focus on awareness and activity. L. Kae Graniel, a 23 year fitness professional, writer and speaker has provided a 101 honest, helpful and fun health and fitness tips that guide women to the body they desire.

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) October 12, 2006

Diets, like most things in life are cyclical. As the nation falls off the no-carb band wagon, waistlines are beginning to expand (again). With the holidays at our door the need for a plan of attack to fend off fat is crucial. Everyone knows diets don't work. If they did no one would be over weight. The current national motivation to go on another diet is at an all time low. Now is the time to explore a new concept -- The Anti-Diet. L. Kae Graniel, a 23 year fitness professional, writer and speaker has provided the plan: Chocolate Cake for the Thighs: The Anti-diet book for women (available now through Amazon. com ISBN 1-4259-4203-2 $14.95)

Chocolate Cake for the Thighs – The Anti-diet Book for Women is obviously not another weight loss / diet book. If anything, it is closer to a self help book. True, there is a lot of talk about food, but that's because there is a lot of talk about food in day to day living. The book makes meal suggestions but never offers recipes. It makes reference to meal planning but never offers a meal plan. The goal is not to be thinner. Losing weight will just be the icing on the cake when readers pursue a healthier lifestyle that includes improvements in food choices, physical activity and loving mental support.

L. Kae Graniel, the founder of Truespeak™, is a recognized key-note speaker, writer, and life coach – specializing in the 28 day Mastery Intensive. She has authored many articles for national and international magazines, newspapers and trade publications, as well as producing and hosting a variety of productions and television programs. L. Kae has a B. A. in Communication, is a Reverend, and certified Transformational Meditation™ facilitator. She has been teaching group fitness since 1984, leading over 2,500 classes in a variety of formats and environments. She is also a featured contributor and presenter for IDEA publications and their World conventions. L. Kae Graniel lives in Hawaii with her two daughters and husband of 21 years.

Pritzker Law Firm Calls for Policy Change to Fight Worsening E. coli Problem

Pritzker Law Firm Calls for Policy Change to Fight Worsening E. coli Problem

Leading food safety lawyer Fred Pritzker calls on U. S. regulators to add non-0157:H7 forms of E. coli to its list of adulterants in ground beef. Currently, only E. coli 0157:H7 is designated as an adulterant in raw ground beef. Other strains of E. coli, such as E. coli 0111, are just as virulent and deserve equally stringent regulation.

Minneapolis, Minn. (PRWEB) November 26, 2008

Fourteen years after the United States designated E. coli O157:H7 as an adulterant in raw ground beef, one of the nation's leading food safety lawyers is calling on regulators to adopt the same zero-tolerance policy against other strains of the potentially deadly bacteria.

Fred Pritzker, a Minneapolis attorney whose firm specializes in major food-borne illness cases, said several other types of Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) must be declared adulterants by the U. S. Department of Agriculture to help reverse dangerous upward trends in illnesses and recalls of tainted meat.

Last year alone, E. coli O157:H7 contamination prompted 21 recalls of ground beef totaling 29 million pounds - the highest level in five years. Ten of the recalls were associated with sickness. For a country that purports to have the safest food supply in the world, there's been no progress made since 2004 in wiping out E. coli infection, Pritzker said. In fact, lately the bug has been gaining ground.

"It makes no sense that we are regulating one deadly pathogen and ignoring others," said Pritzker, who noted that one person was killed this summer and more than 300 others were sickened by E. coli 0111 linked to the Country Cottage restaurant in Locust Grove, Okla. The restaurant reopened Saturday after being shut down for an extended period.

In October 2007, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) co-hosted a public meeting at which non-O157:H7 STECs were a leading topic of concern. More than 100 non-O157:H7 strains exist around the world, but health officials in the U. S. are most concerned with O111, O26, O103, O45 and O145.

Six months after the public meeting, the FSIS said it was considering designating certain non-O157:H7 STECs as adulterants. Pritzker said the major policy change is needed right away. "We need to have the same stringent approach to all pathogens that are capable of causing serious harm or death," Pritzker said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's possible that non-O157 STEC infections are as prevalent in the United States, or more so, than O157:H7 infections. Since 1990, the U. S. has recorded at least 23 outbreaks of infectious disease caused by the non-O157:H7 micro-organisms. And Like E. coli O157:H7, certain non-0157 STECs can lead to hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a condition that has killed children, the elderly and persons with weak immune systems.

By designating as adulterants the most virulent non-O157:H7 STECs, Pritzker said, the FSIS will gain the power to effectively shut down plants when meat is contaminated. The scrutiny will force greater responsibility on the beef industry to detect the bacteria and to prevent it from entering the food supply.

When E. coli O157:H7 was legally labeled an adulterant in 1994, the industry improved its testing mechanisms. Likewise, screening would readily improve for non-O157:H7 strains. The zero-tolerance would also apply to beef imports and provide consumers with stronger protection in recall situations

Pritzker | Ruohonen & Associates, P. A. is one of the few law firms in the United States that practices extensively in the area of foodborne illness litigation. The firm has collected millions of dollars on behalf of victims of E. coli poisoning and other foodborne illnesses, http://foodpoisoning. pritzkerlaw. com (http://foodpoisoning. pritzkerlaw. com).

And the Best Breakthrough Performance in the Battle Against Wrinkles Goes to… Bioque®: New Scientific Skincare Line Contributes to the 2007 MTV Movie Awards

And the Best Breakthrough Performance in the Battle Against Wrinkles Goes to… Bioque®: New Scientific Skincare Line Contributes to the 2007 MTV Movie Awards

Bioque, the results-driven ‘Scientific Skincare that Works™,’ based on Nobel Prize-winning biochemical research, was in the celebrity gift bag at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

For its leading role in the ‘anti-aging drama,’ Bioque is in the bag—literally. The results-driven ‘Scientific Skincare that Works™,’ based on Nobel Prize-winning biochemical research, was in the much-desired celebrity gift bag at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards this evening — providing presenters, award-winners, and nominees with its best-selling stars.

While MTV lauded Hollywood’s top achievers at its annual Movie Awards, Bioque presented its own award winners. Participants like Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba received Bioque’s Serum XL™ - multi-peptide wrinkle reverser; Formula 9™ - fabulously firming ‘facelift in a jar;’ and Vitamin K1 Intensive Serum — a multipurpose wonder that treats spider veins, bruising, under-eye circles, skin redness, and age spots, and damage caused by the sun (and almost anything under it!). Hosted by Sarah Silverman, the hot ticket evening featured performances by Amy Winehouse, Rihanna and Jay-Z.

Bioque skincare takes the spotlight for its Nobel Prize-winning technology and extraordinary short-term and long-term results. This ' Scientific Skincare that Works ’ immediately helps to repair, rejuvenate and improve the appearance of today’s skin cells; while simultaneously laying the foundation for healthier generations of skin cells to come. Bioque’s groundbreaking ‘signal technology’ delivery system — based on the Nobel Prize-winning biochemistry of Dr. Martin Rodbell - delivers beneficial natural compounds into the interior of skin cells in both the surface layers and deep understructure of skin, where these compounds promote collagen synthesis to repair and rebuild damage. In rival skin care lines, a much smaller percentage of beneficial ingredients penetrates into cells (20% as opposed to Bioque’s over 80%); most are lost on the outside of cells. Bioque’s cruelty-free skincare also contains the highest percentages of beneficial peptides, bio-available vitamins, and botanicals. And, all 2007 profits from Bioque skincare sales go to support anti-cancer research. Celebrity fans include Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, and Halle Berry, among others. Bioque has taken Europe by storm and is currently making its US debut: now playing at Henri Bendel, www. bioque. com, fine department stores worldwide, and coming soon to a store near you!

"Hobble is a book that you must read."--RAWSistaz Reviews

 "...the narrative style is rather appealing...an interesting story...I would read again...

 it rather intrigued me. The heroine is unique."--Sensual Romance Reviews

 "When's your next one coming out?"--Several Cleveland, Ohio Readers to the author

HOBBLE is Sourna's first published novel and is the intensely sexual and insightfully psychological story of hero/antihero BENNET GILLESPIE, a world travelling, Native American medical professional, a man extremely successful in his public life yet painfully dissatisfied with the path of his personal life. A man with "a hero-damsel complex", as his perilously sudden, obsessive, sexual entanglement with a troubled, "knife happy", African American "innocent", and her controlling British "legal guardian" threatens to cost Benn a lot more than his life.

*************She nodded in full conviction. Her use of “heroically” wasn’t lost on me.

*************I also donÂ’t care to be praised too highly, even by someone like her. The

*************higher and harder the pat on the back, the more likely it is to eventually

*************break your neck. I almost told her not to underestimate a manÂ’s innate,

*************complex fears when it comes to amour. Specially, when sharp objects,

*************blood, and the criminally insane were involved.—HOBBLE

Many of HOBBLE's readers and reviewers have expressed eagerness to read more from the intriguingly different and never dull, sharp mind of Cleveland, Ohio native Neale Sourna. Sourna is an Advisory Board Member for "Creative Screenwriting Journal" [as S Reynolds], has penned for PLAYGIRL Magazine, and her psi-fantasy/horror-erotic romance FRAMES was chosen as a 5th Annual New Century 2002 Screenplay Contest Finalist.

She believes fiction should entertain us yet reflect our lives; holding it up for us to review our points of view at different angles, causing us to reconsider the world around us with our MOST SENSUOUS ORGAN--our minds. In fact, Sourna's official slogan and new personal publishing company name is, "PIE: Perception Is Everything™" [www. pie-perceptioniseverything. com].

And, in HOBBLE, Benn's personal perception is what we get in her erotic-romantic-hard-edged fiction. Sourna says, "As altruistic as we all can be, selfishly personal drives propel us all; but, we pretend otherwise. Yet, even those dearest to us have no concept of the range, the depth, or genesis of our hidden, driven ambitions and fears. Sometimes, we ourselves don't even know, understand, or accept them."

HOBBLE's outward character agendas are only the surface, as Benn, Day, and senior citizen Hopkins each surreptitiously or blatantly, and sometimes in altruistic selfishness, push their own overlapping, personal needs. This is no "pink cover" romance. This is man-friendly sex with realistic motives and complications, and a strong face-the-real-world core.

*************I was exhausted of making life and death choices for people, who

*************refused to face their own music and make those decisions. I was

*************tired of having to carry extra malpractice insurance because I was

*************making those kinds of decisions, in their lazy stead. I’d “sworn”,

*************as I left on sabbatical, that the next time I made a life and death

*************anything for someone else, I was gonna get paidÂ…a hell of lot

*************more than my usual fee or the usual effusively grateful thank yous.

*************And especially more than the I-love-you, BUT “oh, by the way”,

*************second-guess lawsuits.—HOBBLE

HOBBLE is all or nothing, romantic sexual warfare, with bittersweet, tenderly romantic moments facing off with devastating and dangerous emotional clashes, fought with minds and bodies, with legalities and deceptions, and no one of these three nor any interrelationship among them is merely just what it seems, as the unanticipated ending proves. Enjoy.

Proteins Improve Triathlete's Performance

Proteins Improve Triathlete's Performance

Manchester fireman Martin Cain used sports nutrition supplements from CNP Professional to win his fight with injuries and improve his stamina, fitness and personal bests. Now he's winning races, too.

(Vocus) August 20, 2008

Niggling injuries that flared up just as he was preparing for a major event were the bane of triathlete Martin Cain's life. A regular top ten finisher, in 2007 he won his first competition - the Ripon Triathlon. Then, frustratingly, his training was curtailed once again. But for Martin the win underlined that he was missing out on his full potential.

A year later and Martin's already won two events, at Chester and Horwich, and he hasn't been out of the top five all season. He's had no injuries and he's made significant improvements in his PBs for all three disciplines. So what's changed?

"I was training as hard as I could and, while my diet was healthy, I figured that nutrition might be the key," says Martin, 32, who works as a fireman in Greater Manchester. "So I went to a sports nutrition seminar. Afterwards I collared the speaker, Kerry Kayes, and we chatted about my injuries. He went through my diet and said I wasn't getting enough protein. It made sense, so I started taking protein supplements. That was the turning point."

Kerry Kayes is the sports nutrition specialist who works with several top endurance athletes including boxer Ricky Hatton. He founded his company, CNP Professional, on the belief that athletes need better quality protein supplements in order to repair their body and maximise their performance potential. Competing in three separate disciplines means triathletes need to be fit enough to train all the time - Kayes says that this makes them prime candidates to benefit from his nutritional philosophy.

"The trauma that modern triathletes put their bodies through is immense," Kerry says. "That calls for extra protein to help muscles repair themselves. To get enough extra protein from an ordinary diet would mean eating huge amounts of food and having to deal with subsequent weight issues. A good protein supplement delivers the protein in a low-calorie, easily digested formula that gives the body what it needs, when it needs it."

Martin says his experience confirms that a diet including protein supplements leads to better stamina and fitness - because his muscles are in better shape, so he can keep up with his rigorous training schedule. "I tend to go back to certain races each year, to gauge my level of fitness," Martin says. "At Wetherby in 2007 I came sixth with an overall time of two hours eight minutes. This year, in much worse conditions, I came third in two hours three minutes."

Swimming was always Martin's weakest discipline and he's improved here, too. "Typically in the past I'd take around 25 minutes for a 1500 metre swim. I've shaved at least two minutes off that this year."

You might think working fireman's shifts would play havoc with a triathlete's training and diet, but not a bit of it. "It's the best job I could be doing - I get to train every day, while other people are at work, and I can keep a close eye on my diet, too," he says. "I live nine miles from the fire station, so I run or bike in every day."

A key difference with CNP supplements such as Pro Peptide is that they are made with proteins formulated using a patented low-temperature processing method. This protects the protein’s valuable bioactivity, which is destroyed in the high temperature processing that other protein supplements use. Being a more natural, less processed product also makes Pro Peptide easier for the body to digest.

"There's no doubt that Kerry's protein supplements have made all the difference this year," Martin adds. "My performance has improved and I'm really enjoying competing. They're very easy to drink, too - absolutely spot on."
