More than the ability to create and give life, science recently discovered that women also have the gift to sustain life. New research has discovered that women’s menstrual fluid contains stem cells that have characteristics similar to bone marrow and embryonic stem cells. They multiply rapidly and can differentiate into other types of stem cells such as cardiac, cartilage, bone, fat, neural, and maybe even more. These stem cells thus hold the key to the cure of fatal diseases such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, stroke,Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis and even spinal cord injury. Stem cells harvested from a woman not only have the capability to regenerate damaged cells from the same woman’s body but may also be able to treat diseases of siblings, children, or other relatives.

C’elle is About the Science of harvesting these stem cells from a woman’s menstrual fluid and preserving them through cryogenics for future use. C’elle offers women the service of collecting menstrual fluid, processing these in their state-of-the-art laboratory, and eventual cryo-preservation of the stem cells to be utilized for regenerative medical treatments when necessary. For a limited time only, the C’elle collection kit is being offered at only $499 ($200 savings) inclusive of processing and one year’s storage for one specimen. Thereafter, annual storage fee of a specimen will be $99. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve your health and your family’s at such big savings. When you consider the potentials that C’elle provides, this is a small amount to pay to cure a debilitating disease.

Before this discovery, I have friends who have lost loved ones to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Imagine the possibilities if C’elle was already available at that time. My good friend’s son would be all grown up now instead of succumbing to leukemia years ago. A previous officemate could have been saved from the heart disease that claimed his life. Visit the site now and read a C’elle Client Testimonial. Discover what C’elle can do for you and your family. Science has finally discovered that women do hold the key to the essence of life itself.

My youngest son loves animals. I don’t mind really. Except, I have skin asthma that is sensitive to fleas, dust, mites, and so many more. I haven’t had a major skin outbreak for years. However, it is irritating that I can’t get rid of the dermatitis on my nail beds and that usual itchy spot on my ankles. Upon consultation with my dermatologist, it appears like I have to take care of the fleas that my son’s cat most likely has. Even worse, my son’s cat has 2 kittens at the moment that she is nursing. I think kitten fleas are making my allergy worse.

I avoid using insecticides or other chemicals to rid the house of pests. So, I read up on the internet and found a natural way to kill fleas at www.fleascontrol.com. There were several suggestions that I found, one involves feeding your pet with garlic. This could be a good option if you don’t care much for the risk that garlic may place on your pet. I don’t plan to break my son’s heart. I had to find something else. That’s when I saw that there are such things as flea traps — similar to those sticky glue on paper to catch roaches. And of course, I do have to vacuum regularly.

Well, wish me luck. If you have the same problem as I do, go visit the site to save you, your family, and your pets from those pesky pests.

I’ve been spending so much time typing on my laptop or desktop computer for the past 10 years that I always have this fear that I might develop carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). My fears are justified because I know a freelance writer who got the injury from too much writing. I’ve also personally met an avid badminton player who had to undergo surgery for CTS and has now been disallowed by his doctor to play badminton as much as he used to.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a medical condition where the median nerve in the wrist is compress which leads to pain and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand. Known causes of CTS are repetitive activities such as typing, sports that involve the wrist, and working in factory assembly lines. It is also more common to women than men and usually occurs around the age of 42. Although there are no definitive causes, treatment is often a challenge to doctors. Most doctors prescribe prolonged rest, immobilizing braces, and pain medication. There have been no known medication to treat the disease and prolonged use of pain relievers can cause side effects to the stomach. As such, carpal tunnel release surgery is often the best solution for those in extreme cases.

Like they always say, prevention is always better than cure. If you are subjected to activities that cause repetitive stress to the wrist, it is best to do preventive action now. Try not to let your hands or wrist work continuously for long periods. It is best to take a break and exercise your wrists by moving them in circular motion clockwise and counterclockwise regularly. However, a better alternative for carpal tunnel relief is the use of ergonomic or orthopedic products designed for that specific purpose. IMAK has developed the Smart Glove which is a fingerless glove made of washable and breathable lycra. It features a flexible support splint and a massaging ergoBeads pad under the wrist. IMAK also has other products that offer support and relief to those who are prone to CTS. These were all designed with the support of Dr. Ian MacMorran, an experienced orthopedic surgeon.

For those who subject too much stress on their wrists, it’s best to protect them now. To my fellow bloggers, let’s not put our hard-earned income into curing CTS in the future. Let’s take care of what keeps money flowing in our coffers.

They say those gadgets that we humans are going gaga over can be detrimental to our health. I’m not talking about the alleged brain cancer that radio waves can give us. They have dubbed it with different names — nintendonitis, texting tendinitis, numb thumb, and more recently, the IPod finger and the Blackberry thumb. We seem to have become so engrossed with our gizmos that we overlook the fact that it causes stress to our fingers or wrists. Before texting became a craze, carpal tunnel syndrome was the most usual ailment we acquire from typing too much on our computer. We do tend to overdo it, don’t we?

Well, except for carpal tunnel syndrome, all the rest are minor injuries that can be cured with rest and therapy. Doctors advice that if we can’t control the use of our gadgets, we have to remember to flex and stretch them every so often. However, they still maintain that texting while driving or crossing the street is a no-no. This last habit can cause more than just injury. There have been reports that accidents due to texting while walking or driving has been on the rise. There have been a few deaths, but nothing alarming. Still, we have to control ourselves and remember that our safety comes first.

One of the most difficult parts of getting old is the weakening of the bones. Most people beyond 60 years old often develop osteoporosis and suffer fractures even in minor falls or accidents. Is there a way to prevent the slow decay of our skeletal structure?

Osteoporosis is a disease that makes the bones thin and brittle with holes inside of them. It affects millions of adults around the world and mostly occur in women. However, men can still acquire it. Most often, it occurs in women after menopause due to the lack of estrogen. Estrogen is known to protect the body from bone loss. For men, it is known to accelerate after testosterone production decreases. Risk factors that can’t be controlled include age, genetics, body build, and race. Reports indicate that those with slender frame are more likely to acquire the disease. Europeans and Asians are also known to be more prone to osteoporosis.

On the other hand, it is the manageable risk factors that we should try to manage. Smoking and alcohol make the bones lose density. If you are already among those who run the uncontrollable risks of getting osteoporosis, these vices should be avoided. Moreover, exercise and sufficient nutrition, especially those rich in calcium and vitamin D, also minimizes the risk of acquiring the disease.

There are medications that can minimize the risks or effects of osteoporosis. These are usually treatments that can increase bone density or slow the rate of bone loss. Those taking medication are advised to supplement their intake with calcium and vitamin D and exercise regularly. Then again, early detection is one of the best ways to minimize the risks. Aside from getting regular medical consultations, you should be conscious of symptoms such as back pains, loss of height, development of a dowager’s hump, and becoming prone to fractures.

As the cliche’ says, prevention is always better than cure. Just remember to drink milk as often as you can, eat a balanced diet, exercise, and get a good dose of the morning sun for your vitamin D.

How would you like to have your toes be nibbled for your pedicure? Sounds weird but it’s actually done at Yvonne Hair and Nails Salon in Alexandria, Virginia. It’s called the fish pedicure treatment. Looks ticklish doesn’t it? The little carps are called garra rufa or doctor fish. They eat the dead skin cells on the feet and it is considered the best foot spa treatment to keep your feet soft and smooth. Some say the nibbling also has a calming effect because it feels like your feet are being massaged by tiny little suckers.

The garra rufa was discovered in a hot spring in Turkey and they were found to be the best cure to psoriasis and other skin ailments. The fish would eat away at the dead and infected skin of the feet and hands while the minerals in the hot spring would soothe and cure the affected area.

It’s interesting, don’t you think? I will have to put this on my list of things I should do before I die.

One of the leading causes of death worldwide has always been heart disease. Through the efforts of medical experts, treatments have gone further than expected in the last decade. Apart from pacemakers, heart transplants, and the heart bypass, the new discoveries that scientists have studied in the past few years may even make these ancient treatments unnecessary. Now there are promising new studies on replacement of damaged heart tissues and other treatments that would involve stem cells or skeletal muscle cells.

The Maryland Heart Center is considered one of the leading medical institutions that have contributed to the advancement of treatments to heart disease. It has now specialized into mitral valve repair surgery where about 92% of patients have already undergone treatment. Traditionally, mitral valve surgery involved the removal of the damaged mitral valve and replacing it with an artificial one. However, at the Maryland Heart Center, cardiac surgeons now opt for mitral valve repair rather than this mitral valve replacement method. The approach has more advantages which include improved long-term survival rates and reduced risk of stroke, and freedom from long-term treatment with blood thinners.

Moreover, cardiac surgeons now implement the repair through minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. The surgery is performed through a two-inch keyhole incision on the chest to avoid incision in the breastbone and allow patients to return to work and everyday activity sooner after surgery.

With these new advancements in medical technology, heart disease may one day drop from the list of fatal diseases worldwide.

Every year, it seems the weather is getting more and more extreme. The greenhouse phenomenon is getting worse. And this compels me to use my sunglasses now every time I go out. My eyes can’t take the strain and has to be constantly protected from the harsh sunlight.

The thing with sunglasses is that there are so many styles to choose from and so many options. Although I’m certain that I have to use polarized sunglasses to block the intensity and glare of the sunlight, I have difficulty choosing the right frame that suits me. I browsed at online shops to get options and found so many to choose from that I still couldn’t pick the right one. However at ADS Sports Eyewear, I was able to get a more filtered inventory of sunglasses. The website categorizes its sunglasses into different types to make the search or choice easier for consumers. Unlike other online optical shops, they don’t just include all available sunglasses in the market. The inventory was carefully selected to suit the style and needs of active individuals.

At ADS, you can even get polarized motorcycle sunglasses or prescription sunglasses that are photochromic (lens that adjust to lighting situations). ADS only offers those that have well-constructed frames with top quality lens. To give better service to consumers, they have a liberal return policy and provide competitive prices. They do not guarantee lowest prices since they place more value on the quality and instead offer consumers the best value for their money. It is certain that you will not get cheap knockoffs or frail frames that will not even be durable enough to suit an active lifestyle. Whatever type of sports you are into, ADS will surely be able to find one that fits your hobby. They have polarized ski goggles, cycling sunglasses, gold sunglasses, fishing sunglasses, and even swim goggles.  Protect your eyes from the sun in whatever activity you are in and look cool doing it.

Apart from food and shelter, some women consider products related to their health regimen a necessity.  Mine includes body lotion, facial moisturizer, eye cream, and sunblock.  Although my busy schedule sometimes make me skip the twice a day routine, I still manage to do my beauty regimen once everyday.  Since most of these don’t come cheap, I try to get the best deals for my purchases.  Whenever promos or discounts are available, I usually buy more than the regular quantity to save up for future use.  If there are no discounts available, I just make sure I get the best price in the market.

Most of these purchases I already do online regularly.  I know it may be hard to believe for some, but I still get the best deals online.  I get the best assistance with my health and beauty products at ShopWiki.  Unlike other shopping guides, ShopWiki scours the entire cyberspace to find the best deal for me.  Others simply display results of those who have made ad placements with them.  ShopWiki aims to provide its users the best deals in the web and makes sure they get the best-priced product displayed in your search panel.

I’m not excluding men who have their health and beauty regimen too.  I know that the trend now includes men who take care of their skin as much as their health.  Although they don’t put on as much as women, it’s not a girl thing anymore.  ShopWiki can also filter out health and beauty products for men in a flash.  That’s what I love about ShopWiki — whatever you need, no matter how unusual or irregular, they will find it for you.

Everyone of us has a different way of coping with a problem. During difficult times, we either clam up or find diversions to help us deal with a problem while a solution is still far from coming. I usually pretend there is no problem and go on with my life as if nothing is wrong. Within this denial stage, I still try to do what is necessary but refuse to accept that there is a problem. Luckily, a solution comes that eventually makes everything go away.

On the other hand, there are problems that may be more difficult or people who find it more difficult to handle problems. These people who are more delicate end up finding diversions that create bigger problems than the real problem. I am talking about people who turn to alcohol or drugs. Sometimes, addiction is not limited to substance abuse. Others turn to gambling or even sex. These kinds of addiction likewise need treatment because of the damage that it causes the individual.

It may be cliche’ but it is true that the first step in treating an addiction is recognizing it or acknowledging that it exists. The next step is just as difficult — realizing the need for professional treatment. Drug Rehabilitation is especially necessary for those who have already caused damage to themselves and to other people. Getting these people into Drug Rehab would be hitting 2 birds with one stone — substance abuse is treated and the psychological problems brought about by hurting other people is also treated.

Many pregnant women have already procured the services of Cryo-Cell International’s U-Cord service to preserve their baby’s umbilical cord blood for future stem cell use. There are even testimonials where the baby’s older siblings were saved from diseases with the use of stem cell therapy from the baby’s umbilical cord blood.

Aside from curing diseases, another use for stem cells may be aesthetics in nature. It may be the best anti-aging solution that every middle-age woman has been searching for. Most women spend a fortune using expensive moiturizers and serums to fight wrinkles and stay young. These products can cost over $100 per bottle and will not last long.
