Ethocyn - Restore skin elasticity.

Every woman or man would like to look years younger than they actually are. Aging is a natural process but it is proven that it can be slowed down. The key to looking young lies in the elasticity of the skin. Young skin has more elastin fibres compared to a older skin. There are so many beauty products in the market that claim to be able to bring back this elasticity. Perhaps they can. But can they make the skin gain the elasticity of a 20 year old person? Ethocyn is the only drug that can do it.



Ethocyn is a unique, patented molecule, discovered by Chantal Pharmaceuticals, and is proven,to fight against skin aging. Ethocyn gives the skin its flexibility and elasticity. To read more about Ethocyn, visit www.ethocyninfo.com.

Benefit of Goat Milk.

Last week I ordered pure goat milk cream from Nature's recipe uk. But through ebay.uk. After a week I just received it today. I will try it later today. Bought it because I've been suffering from dry skin. Not so extreme but uncomfortable. As I remember, I have always had dry skin, so the cold weather doesn't help at all but makes it worse. I used goat milk soap before while I was in Malaysia and I love how it leaves the skin soft. For one thing it is good for acne prone skin and eczema. (depending of people)

Here's an article I dug out from the internet regarding the benefit of Goat milk. A short one copied from canusgoatsmilk.com.

Goat's milk has long been recognized as a natural skin moisturizer and rejuvenator. In North America, when someone suggests the word "milk" we instantly think of a dairy cow. In fact, more people consume goat's milk than any other milk in the world.

From a nutritional standpoint, goat's milk and cow's milk are remarkably similar. However, there are significant differences in the protein and fatty acids that are found in goat's milk. The molecular structure of the proteins and fatty acids which predominate cow's milk are much larger and longer than in goat's milk. Some individuals who are lactose intolerant and cannot handle the digestion of cow's milk are having difficulties in digesting, or breaking down, these long strands. Frequently, goat's milk is recommended for these digestive problems. It has also been suggested that goat's milk should be strongly considered as an alternative to powdered formula for nursing babies.

So let us see whether it will help my skin dryness. LOL

Curing addiction the holistic way.

Drug Abuse or drug addiction is a problem that has been around for a very long time. But the method of curing and healing has changed tremendously. From the the small room, cold turkey method, now they have much subtle and even luxurious ways to help people overcome this problem.

Such places like Renaissance Malibu even integrated the holistic method into their healing procedures. The procedures that they designed can be categorized into 5 main parts of life. The body, the mind, the spirit and the relationship. The methods are used for any one with any substance addiction. Not limited to drugs but also includes Alcohol addiction.

Compare to the old fashion rehabilitation centers, there are more and more resort oriented rehab centers. Located in Hilly areas or near the beach. Renaissance Malibu for instance, are villas located in a private Malibu beach. Drug addiction is a kind of sickness and what other way to hasten the healing process if not, fresh air, calm and serene atmosphere.

One thing that is slightly different with Renaissance Malibu with many other rehab centers is the spiritual approach that they adopt. They believe in order to fully heal the patient, not only has to heal physically but also spiritually. I too believe in this, because, when the faith is strong, they would feel some kind of fulfillment in their lives, they won't go back doing the same mistake again. But seek a healthier channel to solve their problems and not submit to drug abuse to forget their problems, to feel good about themselves or for what ever reasons they submit to it in the first place.

This is just one way of curing, but as many would agree, the healing process totally depends on the person seeking help. Without determination, what ever the process designed would simply go down the drain.

Fooling the brain to lose weight.

I used to tell myself that I am not hungry or I don't feel like eating, when I want to prevent myself from over eating or make myself eat less. To maintain my weight or lose some if I put on some kgs. In the beginnings it did not work but eventually it did. I stop feeling like eating something all the time.
It works for some but to the others they may need a little help with this. There are people who uses meditation or self-affirmation and there are people who need pill or drugs to help them with it. One of them is Rimonabant Generic Acomplia. The drug, works at the brain receptors, fooling it to make the person stop craving for food to make them feel that they are not hungry.
To get this drug, you need to get a prescription from the doctor, and once taken you have to be prepared to have to take it for a duration of 2 years. A long time commitment but said to be a real cure for obesity. It takes years and years for many to get rid of their obesity and 2 years would mean nothing if it really does help.
So read on more about this drug if you really in need for help to be free from obesity. May not work for some but may work for many others, and perhaps it may work for you too.

Protruding ears

When I look at pictures of me as a baby, I saw that my ears were quite protruding. Fortunately they became normal as I grow older. Perhaps this is pretty normal. But there are some people who are not as lucky and their ears stick out so obviously. I know what kind of teasing a person would have since there was once when I was about 7-8 years old one of my classmates had really big protruding ears like a mickey mouse.He had a lot of teasing about his ears. I just wonder how he looks like now.

Anyway, for some people, they wouldn't care, but for others how their ears look like, may lower their self esteem. However, thanks to science, nowadays even that can be easily corrected with otoplasty surgery. Read this on a Maryland ear surgery website.

Looking at the before and after pictures, can really be seen how a little change of one's ears can do to the entire feature of the face. Furthermore, I'm sure that it must have changed how those people feel about themselves. No more hiding the ears behind their hairs.

Goodbye Obesity, Hello new me.

Many blogs I have read,many of them has postings about trying to lose weight. Though I feel that most of bloggers are not in the chronic obesity stage, but it is an admirable attitude towards a healthier body. I was quite fat in my teenage years but nowadays my weight is maintainable. Thank God for giving me the courage to change myself.

Nonetheless, there are many with even worse obesity problems and having a hard time coming out of it. Not because they do not want to but sometimes the body is used to consume so much of a certain kind of food that its difficult to just start eating less or eat a different diet and do more exercise. Talking is cheap, doing is hard. I myself find it hard to exercise.

Sometimes when a person is already very obese, the only opt out is through surgery. Even a study has shown that for a person with stage 2 diabetes brought on by obesity is recommended to undergo a surgery to lose the unwanted weight. When surgery is mentioned here, most may be thinking of liposuction. Well, that is one of them. But there is another way, a much less intrusive way.

A few months back I saw a program on television where people talked about how they lost their weight miraculously after years of battling with it. I wasn't paying much attention then but I know that they were talking about a surgery that involves tying up a portion of their stomach so that they feel less hungry and can lose the weight naturally and keep it off for good.Well, now that I am going to write about this other surgery alternative so I have read a little bit more on it to know what this is really about.

This surgery is called the lap-band surgery. It is a restrictive weight loss surgery i.e. Bariatrics; which was conceived for helping obese patients with the Body Mass Index or BMI of 40 or greater. Or, for those who has the BMI between 35-40 but with a disease (e.g diabetes) that can be treated with weight loss.

The surgery consists of a band that is adjustable to tie the upper portion of the stomach so that the patient will eat less, feel full longer and lose weight the normal way. Like dieting the easy way I think.This surgery is less intrusive because only small incisions will be made and very little scarring. No cutting or stapling of the stomach wall or bowel, minimal pain and imagine after having a surgery and you can go back home in less than 24 hours. The band is totally adjustable according to the patient's needs and most importantly it is reversible. Once removed the stomach and other organs will go back to its original form and functionality. It is said that you can even use this band while in pregnancy due to its adjustable nature.

One of centers that offers this surgery is at the NewHope Bariatrics Surgery Centers. Their centers are located strategically across the US. In Los Angeles, Kansas City and Charlotte.

These are a couple of before and after pictures of one of the success stories from patients of this center.

Tess lost 161 lbs after the treatment. As she said in her testimonials, the treatment not only changed her figure and her life, but it also taught her to eat well. I believe that is what matters most because not being able to choose the right kind of food is the main reason for obesity.

Perhaps with this kind of treatments around there is not much excuse left to stay obese. When there is will there is a way. And here is a way and what is left is the will to go for it!

8 great tips to lose weight.

1. Have a glass of sparkling water, with lemon, lime or even a piece of orange tossed in for flavor.

2. Drink a glass of good old water instead. It’ll quench your thirst like a soft drink never could.

3. Steep a couple of bags of tasty herbal tea (from Yogi Tea, Celestial Seasonings or Good Earth) in hot water for a couple of minutes. Then add a bunch of ice cubes. This is much more flavorful and satisfying than a soda.

4. Make your own lemonade or orangeade. Just squeeze a lemon or two into a glass of water. You don’t even need to add a sweetener. Or take an orange and hand squeeze half of it into water. (Eat the other half.)

5. If you’re really adventurous and really want to get out from under your soda habit, drink a glass of green vegetable juice instead. (As you’ll notice, I’m not recommending fruit juice, but that can be quite high in sugar, too.)

6. Be daring and concoct your own blended goat’s milk yogurt beverage with cinnamon or nutmeg. Then, if you like, add a few strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. Don’t add too many berries, because even though you’re getting natural sugar from fruit, you don’t want to get too much.

7. When you’re absolutely desperate and insist on having a soda, then share it with a friend so you get half the calories, half the sugar and half the caffeine that you would otherwise.

8. If you’re just not ready to say "no" to soda just yet, then make yourself earn that empty-calorie, nutrient-lacking beverage. First take a walk for a half hour. Then jump rope for five minutes. Then play with a hoola hoop for another five minutes. Then drink a glass of water. Next, before downing that soda, chew on an apple, pear or some strawberries, with a handful of almonds.
