Flavorful Landscapes – It’s a Growing Trend











Jump start the season with the help of floating row covers.


Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) March 27, 2012

Nothing beats the flavor of a fresh-from-the-garden tomato; warmed by the sun, plucked right from the plant and eaten in the garden. “And the good news is gardeners don’t need much space to grow their own edibles,” explains gardening expert, TV/radio host & author Melinda Myers. “Many gardeners have and more will continue to grow food in containers or mixed in with their flowers, shrubs, and other ornamental plantings.”

Myers provided some suggestions when growing edibles to ensure a bountiful harvest this season.

Gardeners should save the sunniest spots in their landscape for tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables where people eat the flowers or fruit. They produce their best and have the fewest disease problems when grown in eight to twelve hours of sunlight. Root crops such as beets, radishes, and carrots can get by with about a half of a day of direct sunlight and leafy crops like lettuce and spinach can still produce in a shady location with only 4 hour of sunlight.

Get gardens off to a good start. Use a quality potting mix when growing in containers. It should have good drainage and retain moisture. In the garden, prepare the soil before planting. Add several inches of compost, peat moss or other organic matter to the top 6 to 12 inches of soil. This improves drainage in heavy soils and increases water holding capacity for sandy or rocky soils.

Add a slow release fertilizer like Milorganite (http://www.milorganite.com) to the soil or potting mix. This goof proof organic source of nitrogen meets the EPA Exceptional Quality standards and will help encourage growth without interfering with flowering and fruiting.

Jump start the season with the help of floating row covers. These polypropylene fabrics let air, light, and water through, while trapping the heat near the plants. The best part, you won’t need a hammer, nail, or other tools. Simply lay the fabric over plantings, leaving enough slack for the plants to grow and anchor the edges to the ground with stones, boards or other items.

Increase harvest with intensive planting techniques. Succession planting, several plantings of short season crops in the same space, can double or triple your harvest. Interplant quick-to-mature crops like radishes and lettuce, in between longer maturing plantings of cabbage, tomatoes or eggplant. The short season vegetables will be ready to harvest just about the time the bigger plants are crowding them out.

Consider planting vegetables closer together in wider rows. This wastes less space for pathways, putting more room in plantings. Make sure each plant has enough space to grow and that all planted areas are within reach for weeding and harvesting.

Provide proper care and get ready to enjoy a bountiful harvest from the garden this season.

She hosts the nationally syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment segments which air on TV and radio stations throughout the U.S. She is a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine, hosted “The Plant Doctor” radio program for over 20 years as well as Great Lakes Gardener on PBS.

Fitness Boot Camp Marketing Mastermind Turns Trainers Into Millionaires












Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

How does one go from being a personal trainer working for someone else to a boot camp operator working for him or herself? Sam Bakhtiar demystifies the process in a dynamic weekend workshop centered around boot camp marketing principles. More information can be found at http://www.super-trainer.com.

Fresh out of college, many personal trainers find themselves working for a big box gym, teaching group classes for a small hourly wage and hoping to solicit one-on-one training time in the side. For this reason, the average salary for fitness industry professionals ranges from $ 20,000 – $ 30,000. This number is far too low and that’s because successful career paths are not illuminated for industry professionals, says Boot Camp Marketing Expert Sam Bakhtiar, CEO of Fit Concepts in Chino Hills, California.

“Think of it this way: no one ever questions that surgeons and doctors are worth every cent of their huge salaries because they literally save lives, right?” Sam asks. “Yet, personal trainers are saving many more lives by putting people on track to live healthier, happier lifestyles. My franchise has helped people lose tens of thousands of pounds over the years and reduced people’s risk of life-threatening disease. Never doubt your worth. That’s the first step toward making your first million in the boot camp marketing industry.”

Sam Bakhtiar is organizing a fitness boot camp marketing mastermind event featuring a massive group of millionaires working in personal training, fitness franchise ownership and boot camp operation. “Just being in the presence of these giants will make you feel elated and super positive about taking a new direction in your career,” Sam explains. “I’ve been through school to get my B.S. in premed, my doctorate in chiropractics and my training credentials… and no one can say I didn’t learn a lot spending 20 years in the trenches… but, for me, mentoring a millionaire had the biggest impact on my future career path. It was literally a life-changing meeting – and I hope to provide that for everyone who attends my event.”

Even though there is plenty of business coaching, mentoring and inspiration, don’t think this boot camp marketing event will be all “fluff.” Sam Bakhtiar hands out step-by-step guides to replicating his success. He shares his story of training in New York City to the tune of a $ 20K salary and branching out into multiple revenue streams to grow his empire to over $ 2.4 Million in annual revenue. His track record of helping individuals succeed at their fitness businesses is nothing short of impressive. Just this month, Sam celebrated his 100th protégé-turned-millionaire, in fact.

The cities, dates and times for Sam’s boot camp marketing events vary from month to month, but he invites any interested individuals to contact him directly to sign up for the next millionaire mastermind. In anticipation of the event, trainers may also download the “Six Figures In 67 Days” blueprint at http://www.super-trainer.com.

About Sam Bakhtiar

Sam Bakhtiar is a Persian-born American with over twenty years of experience in fitness training and body building. After completing B.S in Premed and Nutrition, Sam also received a degree of doctorate of Chiropractics. Along with being one of the best fitness trainers, Sam is also a business and marketing expert.

USC’s Department of Health & Wellness Lists TrekDesk Treadmill Desk in its Top Health Gifts of 2011











Walking while working with a TreKDesk Treadmill Desk


Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) December 02, 2011

Due to its health benefits, affordability and design, which fit nearly any existing treadmill, TrekDesk has been named by the University of Southern California’s Wellness Department to its list of health gifts worthy of giving this holiday season.

TrekDesk Treadmill Desks initially appeared on campuses across the country studying the impact of walking while working on overall health. Today, faculty and students alike are using the TrekDesk independently to boost productivity and enhance their mental and physical well being.

“When you cross a treadmill with a desk, you get a walking station. These used to be prohibitively expensive, but a company called TrekDesk revolutionized the concept, making a full‐service work desk for about $ 500 that can pair with any treadmill,” stated an editor of USC’s Wellness Department on “Healthy Trojans”. “I am walking while writing this article, and will have walked more than three miles and burned over 400 calories by the time I finish, without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little) or taking any extra time out of my day for exercise. I can work at the computer, talk on the phone, and accomplish any task I would normally perform at my desk, all while walking 1.5 miles per hour at 4% incline. The walking station is good for my back, cardiovascular fitness, weight, and morale. Who wouldn’t love a gift that improves health and saves time?”

Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk treadmill desk is an affordable, full sized, height adjustable workstation that allows individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, prevent disease, strengthen muscles, boost mood and productivity, without requiring additional time during the day or extra motivation. Workout at work with TrekDesk. No sweat!

TrekDesk is currently available for sale online at TrekDesk.com for $ 479.00 including free shipping.

Join the TrekDesk “Movement Revolution” to learn more on TrekDesk’s Facebook page.

Most No Calorie Sweeteners May Not Be Suitable For Diabetics For Baking As They May Increase Glycemic Index, Fat And Calories Unlike Fibrelle Fiber-Rich Sweetener

Most No Calorie Sweeteners May Not Be Suitable For Diabetics For Baking As They May Increase Glycemic Index, Fat And Calories Unlike Fibrelle Fiber-Rich Sweetener













Fibrelle fiber rich sweetener


Ridgefield, NJ (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

Most baked goods require a high amount of sugar for proper taste and texture that is a great concern for persons with diabetes concerning their blood glucose management. Diabetics often consider using no calorie sweeteners instead of sugar assuming that the final baked goods will have a lower caloric value and will not raise their blood glucose levels as quickly as their full sugar counterparts.

However as explained in detail by Susan Drake, MS, RD, the Nutrition Science Adviser for Cardelle LLC in the attached video, when used to replace sugar in baked goods, most no calorie sweeteners may cause an increase in the glycemic index, fat and caloric values. Such drawbacks are successfully addressed by the new Fibrelle fiber-rich sweetener for baking recently launched in the US market, which is a weight-by-weight sugar replacer supplying a substantial amount of fiber along with excellent taste and texture thus providing an excellent alternative for persons with diabetes.

Why Common No Calorie Sweeteners Increase Glycemic Index, Fat & Calories?

Most baked goods are composed of mainly sugar, flour and fat. Common bake-able no calorie sweeteners replace sugar on a cup-by-cup basis but they are much lighter than sugar. The remaining bulk of sugar missing from the recipe is mostly compensated by an increase in the flour and fat content. However white flour has a much higher glycemic index value and fat has a much higher caloric value than sugar so the final baked goods made with common no calorie sweeteners such as Splenda® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated will have elevated levels of flour and fat that causes a corresponding increase in their glycemic index and caloric value.

How Fibrelle Fiber-Rich Sweetener For Baking Decrease Glycemic Index & Calories?

Unlike other no calorie sweeteners, Fibrelle fiber-rich sweetener for baking is a weight-by-weight sugar replacer that is used in the same amount like sugar in recipes, therefore it does not increase the fat or flour content of the final baked goods. Additionally Fibrelle has a much lower glycemic index value than sugar and a much lower caloric value than fat so it will significantly reduce the glycemic index and the caloric values of final baked goods.

For example a typical 30 gram serving of cookies made with 40% sugar, 35% flour and 25% fat will have a glycemic index value of 70 and will provide 158 calories and only 0.3 grams of fiber.

When sugar is replaced with a no calorie sweetener such as Splenda® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, the ingredient composition will change to 5% Splenda®, 55% flour and 40% fat whereas the glycemic index value will increase to 77, energy content to 180 calories and the cookies will provide only 0.5 gram of fiber contributed by the flour.

Cookies made with Fibrelle fiber-rich sweetener for baking, will contain 40% Fibrelle, 35% flour and 25% fat and will have a reduced glycemic index value of 43 and a reduced energy value of 125 calories while providing a significant 6.8 grams of fiber per 30 gram serving.

In addition to providing significant health benefits, Fibrelle fiber-rich sweetener for baking can be used just like sugar in all baking and cooking applications and will contribute to taste, texture, volume, crunchiness and browning.

Diabetes requires constant monitoring and a significant emphasis on healthy food choices. To maintain normal blood glucose levels, it is recommended for persons with diabetes to prefer foods with lower glycemic index values, increase fiber consumption, reduce saturated fat and energy intake to avoid complications and reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

In that respect Fibrelle fiber-rich sweetener for baking may provide a very healthy yet tasty alternative for diabetics who would like to replace sugar in their favorite sweets.

New Scientific Study Supports Reality of Morgellons Disease

Posted by on November 16, 2011 1 comment

New Scientific Study Supports Reality of Morgellons Disease












Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

The mysterious human illness known as Morgellons disease resembles a well-known infectious disease found in cattle, according to a new research report published Nov. 14 in the prestigious online journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology.This news is announced by the Charles E. Holman Foundation, a grassroots activist organization that supports research, education, diagnosis and treatment of Morgellons disease.

Studied since the 1970s, the veterinary disease known as bovine digital dermatitis, or hairy heel warts, can cause lameness, decreased milk production, weight loss and skin lesions just above the hooves of affected animals. Examination of these lesions by researchers has revealed fibers of varying colors found to be very similar to those seen on the skin of people worldwide who suffer from Morgellons disease.

A link to the free report, entitled “Filament formation associated with spirochetal infection: a comparative approach to Morgellons disease,” can be found on the home page of the Charles E. Holman Foundation website (http://www.thecehf.org).

Often labeled “delusional” by their medical care providers, Morgellons patients may soon be vindicated by this groundbreaking discovery.

“Morgellons disease and hairy heel warts both appear to be evolving illnesses characterized by the appearance of unusual filaments in skin lesions,” said co-author Dr. Raphael Stricker, a renowned Morgellons expert who has treated hundreds of people with this disease at his San Francisco, CA-based practice. “The similarity between the two diseases provides new evidence that Morgellons is an infectious illness–not a delusional disorder. Further comparison of these conditions may help shed light on the mystery of what Morgellons is, and eventually how to cure it.”

Principal author Marianne Middelveen, a veterinary microbiologist from Calgary, Alberta, is credited with finding the connection between the two diseases. She had heard about hairy heel warts from veterinarians, farmers and scientists, and knew they had looked for a cure by examining microorganisms in the afflicted cattle. Middelveen took a different approach by focusing her research on the fibers seen on the animals’ skin. After discovering that these unusual filaments showed striking similarities to those found in Morgellons patients, she contacted Dr. Stricker. Their joint research identified many common features in the composition and infectious associations of the fibers affecting both cattle and humans.

“We are getting closer to sorting out the mystery of Morgellons disease,” said Dr. Stricker. “Sometimes it takes a detective with a new perspective to solve a mystery.”

For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Cindy Casey, R.N., by calling her at (415) 720-8752 or e-mailing her at info(at)thecehf(dot)org

Local Chapter of Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation Takes Steps to Fight Digestive Diseases











Hey Harrisburg… Make Noise and Be Heard!


Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

On October 8, 2011 on City Island, the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) will host Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis Walk, the annual walk dedicated to finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two painful, unpredictable diseases of the digestive tract.

The Chapter will walk to raise crucial research dollars and awareness of Crohn’s and colitis. This fun and energetic program is run by the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, whose mission is to cure these diseases, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these seldom-discussed diseases, bringing better therapies and prevention only a few steps away.

“Last year was the first time we hosted a Take Steps walk in Harrisburg and the community support was overwhelming. We are excited to be back in the Harrisburg community again,” says Brenda Greene, Take Steps Walk Director. The Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter also hosts 5 other walk sites, including the largest Take Steps walk in the county – Philadelphia. “From sending out e-mails to friends, family, and colleagues, to talking to the owner at the dry cleaner you frequent, to making noise on walk night—you’ll be spreading awareness and raising funds that will really help change lives.”

In addition to having families and friends create fund raising and walking teams, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is actively inviting corporations to gather teams to walk and raise funds to help Crohn’s and colitis patients and their families. Michael Araten, President of K’NEX is this year’s Take Steps Corporate Chair.

For more information about becoming involved in Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis, visit http://www.cctakesteps.org/harrisburg or contact the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation at 215-396-9100.

About Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are painful, medically incurable illnesses that attack the digestive system. Crohn’s disease may attack anywhere from the mouth to the anus, while ulcerative colitis inflames only the large intestine (colon). Symptoms may include abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever and weight loss. Many patients require hospitalization and surgery. These illnesses can cause severe complications, including colon cancer in patients with long-term disease. Some 1.4 million American adults and children suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, with as many as 150,000 under the age of 18. Most people develop the diseases between the ages of 15 and 35.

About the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America

The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s mission is to cure Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. The Foundation ranks third among leading health non-profits in the percentage of expense devoted to research toward a cure, and more than 83 cents of every dollar the Foundation spends goes to mission-critical programs. The Foundation consistently meets the standards of organizations that monitor charities, including the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (give.org) and the American Institute of Philanthropy (charitywatch.org).

Tavormina Dentistry Launches Gum Disease Awareness Campaign

Posted by on August 6, 2011 2 comments

Tavormina Dentistry Launches Gum Disease Awareness Campaign










Millburn, NJ (PRWEB) March 4, 2005

In a response to the under-recognition of gum disease as a serious and threatening health condition, Tavormina Dentistry of Millburn, NJ, announces the launch of their gum disease awareness campaign. Tavormina Dentistry has launched the campaign to inform their patients about the greater health risks associated with gum disease—risks that are not generally understood or accepted by the general population, the most common and obvious being loose or missing teeth.

“Anyone suffering from loose teeth, bleeding gums and bad breath should seek the help of their dental practitioner in order to take care of the dental problem and prevent further complications,” advised Dr. Vincent Tavormina. “In order to address this important issue, we offer an open door policy to anyone with loose or missing teeth to receive a free gum disease evaluation, and we encourage other dental offices to do the same.”

According to Glenda Tavormina, D.D.S., between 70 and 90% of the population suffers from some form of gum disease; yet, most are unaware of the correlation between loose and missing teeth and several other systemic illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, pneumonia and a greater risk of premature and low birthweight births.

In a New York Times article of January 19, 1999, Robert Genco, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Periodontology and professor of oral biology at the State University of New York at Buffalo explained, “People think of gum disease in terms of their teeth, but they don’t think about the fact that gum disease is a serious infection that can release bacteria into the bloodstream. The end result could mean additional health risks for people whose health is already affected by other diseases—or lead to serious complications like heart disease.”

Gum disease, or periodontitis, occurs when bacteria in the mouth infects the gums and the underlying bones in the teeth, causing infection and symptoms such as bleeding, sensitive and irritated gums. Over time, the infected gums recede from the teeth, creating pockets that allow the infection to spread and loosen teeth. New research suggests these infections are then easily transferred to the bloodstream where they infect other systems of the body, making gum disease a silent health concern of epidemic proportions.

About Tavormina Dentistry

Drs. Vincent and Glenda Tavormina are graduates of the Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery and have been in practice since 1978. Dr. Vincent Tavormina serves as a member of numerous highly-regarded dental associations and is an internationally recognized educator and practitioner in the field of implant dentistry. Dr. Glenda Tavormina works as a respected author, speaker and consultant in the dental community. The gum disease awareness campaign is a natural extension of their commitment to life-long and continued educational awareness and improvement.

Parkinson’s Disease May Have Cure Around the Corner

Posted by on July 31, 2011 1 comment

Parkinson’s Disease May Have Cure Around the Corner










(PRWEB) November 18, 2004

A new book by author, industry leader, and survivor of Parkinson’s disease William Hansen reveals a treatment that has eliminated almost all of the outward symptoms of the disorder we know as Parkinson’s disease.

Bill Hansen was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1997. At that time, he started his research and quest to find an answer to this incurable and debilitating disease. Traditional medicine offered no cure and no hope, which made Hansen even more determined to help not only himself, but the millions of other Parkinson’s disease sufferers. His book, entitled “I’m Dancing Again Because HOPE HEALS”, does just this. It outlines a regimen that he has found to be a successful start in overcoming this disease. Hansen uses a combined body, mind, and spirit treatment to find his relief from the debilitating symptoms of increased tremors, stiffness, and lack of balance that nearly all of his fellow Parkinson’s disease sufferers deal with daily.

Bill Hansen began to experiment on a more effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease by formulating oral spray vitamins to help balance the highs and lows the body goes through during the course of the day. After more than two years of trial and error as his company’s single guinea pig, he found some important keys to a solution—ParkiminTM Sprays.

With the combined effects of the Parkimin Sprays, which contain over 100 vitamins and amino acids, and a combined mind, body, and spirit approach, Bill Hansen is almost completely free of his Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

“I can now dance as I once did, particularly my favorite, the cha-cha, which challenges anyone who tries to master it with very difficult, quick steps. I have regained all the weight I lost, I sleep so much better at night, and I work out six times a week in half-hour sessions,” said Hansen.

To share his treatment protocol with others, he has written the book, “I’m Dancing Again Because HOPE HEALS”. Other Parkinson’s disease patients have found the methods Bill Hansen discovered to be helpful in reducing or eliminating their symptoms as well. Specialists in the neurological field have also begun to give his treatments credence.

Lisa Tataryn, from the Center for Neurofeedback and Research, said, “Bill Hansen has outlined a lifestyle that has proven results to beat Parkinson’s (disease), and most importantly, he gives all the tools and background information to help (others) follow his path.”

A free sample chapter of the book is available on the website http://www. noparkinsons.net, as well as a brief overview of the treatment process Bill Hansen developed for the symptoms of his Parkinson’s disease. Much of the proceeds from the sale of the Parkimin sprays and of the book, “I’m Dancing Again Because HOPE HEALS”, go to charities, Parkinson’s disease organizations, and to studies in alternative and complimentary medicines.

About Parkimin Technologies

Parkimin Technologies is a subdivision of MJB Global, created when Bill Hansen began to research treatment options for Parkinson’s disease. MJB Global and Bill Hansen are currently developing new oral nutraceutical sprays to treat Alzheimer’s and many other neurological diseases, including Lou Gerhig’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis, all with approaches similar to the Parkinson’s disease protocol.

**These statements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Parkimin Technologies is not making any medical claims, nor are they suggesting the use of this product as a remedy or treatment for illnesses.

Request A Test Announces New Lyme Disease Testing Services











Request A Test


Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 12, 2011

Request A Test, Ltd., a privately held business offering direct-to-consumer lab screenings in a rapid, discreet and affordable way, has just announced the addition of five new Lyme disease tests to its list of screening services, including Lyme disease antibodies (total immunoglobulins), Lyme disease (PCR – Borrelia burgdorferi), Lyme disease antibodies (IgM – Borrelia antibodies), Lyme disease antibodies (total and IgM), and Lyme disease (western blot – Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies). Founded in 2002, Request A Test seeks to provide clients with comprehensive access to information such as general disease information, incubation, pricing and testing requirements, in addition to first-rate testing facilities.

Lyme disease is caused by an infection with a type of bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi that is chiefly transmitted by the deer tick. Roughly 20,000 new cases of Lyme disease are reported in the United States each year. Although incidences of Lyme disease have been documented in nearly all 50 states, in 2009 95 percent of all cases were reported in 12 states in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and upper Midwest. Common symptoms include headache, fever, fatigue and a characteristic, circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Untreated infections can spread to the nervous system, heart and joints.

“Since Lyme Disease is considered an emerging infectious disease and the most common tick-borne illness in the northern hemisphere, the importance of making the testing more widely available is critical for early diagnosis,” says Noelle Perez, President of Request A Test. “We offer the most comprehensive Lyme disease testing available online. Tests available range from viral tests, acute infection tests, chronic infection tests, and confirmatory tests.”

If Lyme disease is diagnosed and treated promptly, 95 percent of infected people are cured within three weeks of treatment, typically involving two to four weeks of oral antibiotics. To spread awareness and combat the possible complications associated with untreated Lyme disease, Request A Test launched a new series of Lyme disease testing services that began Friday, July 8th.

To inquire about this news release or receive more information regarding Request A Test’s services, please call 1-888-732-2348 or visit their website.

About Request A Test

Request A Test is a nationwide lab testing service operating on the edict that knowledge is power. Committed to providing outstanding customer service, same-day testing, no hidden fees and an informative, easy to use website, Request A Test is partnered with two of the largest certified laboratories in the country to ensure clients receive affordable and precise information in a high quality, professional setting.
