Help for Skin Problems

Over 180 million people around the world suffer from severely dry skin. According to research, about 20% of Singaporean children aged between 7 and 17 had eczema. (The Straits Times, 28 May 2009)

Dry skin can irritate you, embarrass you, and control you. Discover the calming peace of this clinically proven moisturizing lotion to make your skin become softer, smoother and better hydrated - and stay that way. It is clinically proven to work faster, better and last longer than the leading dermatologist-referred lotion. It works in two ways: keeps skin healthy and prevents dry skin when used daily, and relieves severely dry skin associated with chronic skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.

The product contains the key ingredients Glycerin and Allantoin, as well as a special soothing and penetrating tree oil to help soothe away dry and itchy irritation.



Glycerin is derived from palm kernel and oils and helps soften skin, allowing skin to breathe and helps the skin heal itself. It can also help with wound healing. It helps to increase your skin's natural protection against moisture loss and attracts just the right amount of water to your skin cells so that they stay properly hydrated.

Allantoin is derived from the herb comfrey, and helps to pull moisture into the skin and form a protective shield against moisture loss. For centuries, the comfrey root and leaves were used as a wound-healing medicine. Allantoin promotes skin cell regeneration.

During a clinical study of this moisturizing lotion, a pool of study candidates who showed signs of eczema was selected. Their untreated skin was first photographed, and after 14 days of using the product, the skin was again photographed to measure improvement after use.

Care for your Vision

Nearly all of us will experience some form of age-related vision loss during our lifetime. Watching your little ones blow out the candles on their birthday cakes. Witnessing the ever-changing beauty of nature. Gazing upon a fine work of art. There's so much in life to see and appreciate. However, it appears that these kinds of precious moments become less clear as we age.


Your eye, more than any other organ, is constantly exposed to elements that can induce free radical damage. Excessive exposure to the computer, exposure to UV rays, air pollution and aging are some of the contributing factors that may affect your vision. Your quality of life is greatly affected by the quality of your vision. Maintaining eye health can be possible. Certain nutrients can significantly help fight free radical damage, maintain your ability to see clearly, and help you focus close up.

For powerful vision protection, I recommend this vision supplement which contains a blend of lutein, blueberry, bilberry, vitamin C and zinc to help protect your macula and lens - eye structures that tend to need extra nutritional care as we age.

Lutein - Helps protect the eyes from light-induced oxidative damage
Blueberry - Helps improve night vision and relieve eye strain
Bilberry - Helps support and strengthen the capillaries of the eyes
Vitamin C and Zinc - Provides maximum protection from free-radicals damage

The lutein extract from this supplement comes from the marigold plant which is 20 times higher than spinach. It goes through 2 purifying steps instead of one to ensure that your eyes are getting the full eye-health benefits.

Blueberry is called the "vision fruit" in Japan, and has a reputation for relieving eyestrain. Blueberries may also help improve night vision and help your eyes adjust to bright lights.

Bilberry is known as the "European blueberry", and have long been reputed to improve night vision. It also helps to maintain the strength of tiny blood vessels in the eyes.

For better eye care, I would recommend the taking of this vision supplement. To know more about this product, you can contact me.

Glocosamine & Healthy Joints

Jason had been the athletic type, but a string of sports injuries damaged the cartilage in his joints and left him with two bum knees and a bad elbow. The diagnosis: osteoarthritis (OA) - a crippling, painfully, and usually permanent condition. When several surgeries and taking high doses of anti-inflammatory pain medications failed to fix the problem, Jason almost gave up hope that he would ever be active again.

In his search to learn more about OA, Jason discovered that a promising treatment for OA had been used in parts of Europe and Asia for decades, involving supplementing the diet with an inexpensive nutrient called glucosamine. Glucosamine is a substance which occurs naturally in the body and is necessary for building the cartilage which cushions the joints.

Research dating back to 1959 showed that 95% of 1,208 participants in a study, who took glucosamine daily, reported that pain was reduced and mobility increased, with no significant side-effects, and with a continuing benefit 6 to 12 weeks after they stopped the supplement. In another study, microscopic examination of the cartilage before and after treatment showed it had been at least partly repaired. In yet another experiment, glucosamine was compared with a commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory pain medicine. By the end of the study, those receiving glucosamine experienced significantly greater mobility and freedom from pain than those receiving the pain medicine.

Jason began taking the supplement himself, and within 2 weeks, he felt significantly better. Later clinical examination showed that his damaged cartilage was actually repairing itself. To end this story, Jason is actually Jason Theodosakis, M.D., or Dr Theo, as he likes to be called, who is a respected and well-known physician and lecturer in preventive medicine who has trained extensively in exercise, physiology and sports medicine. Dr Theo began giving glucosamine to his patients and the results were impressive. He says, "I've helped hundreds of people either eliminate the need for surgery or greatly reduce the effects of osteoarthritis."

Approximately 16 million people in the US have OA, a painful condition also known as degenerative joint disease. It is the most common form of arthritis, mostly affecting middle-aged and older people. OA is characterized by pain and loss of movement in the hands and weight-bearing joints, such as the knees, hips, feet and back. What's alarming about OA is the fact that most people over 60 show to have it on X-ray, but may not have actual symptoms yet.

The standard treatment for OA involves the use of anti-inflammatory pain medications which only mask the symptoms and do nothing to correct the underlying cause. In fact, regular use of painkillers may actually accelerate the degeneration of cartilage, making the problems worse. When taken regularly, common pain medications have significant side effects like gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney or liver damage.

By contrast, glucosamine has no significant known side effects. It does not mask the pain, but works to help repair damaged cartilage - the root of the problem. Glucosamine relieves pain by helping to restore and normalize joint functions. Most people begin to notice a difference in about 2 to 6 weeks after beginning to take glucosamine. They they are able to wean themselves off the pain medicines.

There are several different types of glucosamine. The 2 most common are glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL) and glucosamine sulfate. However, glucosamine HCL is purer, more stable, and delivers more of the beneficial glucosamine than the sulfate version. And glucosamine HCL has the added benefit of being less expensive.

I had my own problems with OA with a right elbow that had been overused in sports over the years. The medical specialist prescribed me painkillers and clinical glucosamine and told me to avoid playing sports that would make my injury worse, including some of the sports activities that I loved. The painkillers took the pain off temporarily but they and the prescribed glucosamine did not have any long-term or noticeable effect.

Earlier this year, I switched to using another glucosamine supplement. Each dose of this product delivers 1,500 mg of research-recommended glucosamine HCL (the more absorbable form) to help keep the joint cartilage "well-oiled", promoting the function of molecules that provide joint strength and elasticity, and also enhancing cartilage production to help support freedom of movement. In addition to glucosamine, the patented formula also contains a 315 mg blend of bromelain, ginger and green tea. These 3 natural ingredients help fight free radicals for healthier joints. They also improve glucosamine absorption.

After switching to this glucosamine product, my right elbow has improved so much. The pain is gone and there is so much better range of movement. I am able to continue taking part in the sports activities that I love and that has been really great.

And now, the newly-launched Extra Strength formula comes with the following:

• Chondroitin - structural component of cartilage that provides resistance to compression.
• MSM (methysulfonylmethane) - an important building block of connective tissue that helps keep joints strong.
• Manganese & vitamin C - essential nutrients that help promote the formation of new cartilage.
• Patent-pending botanical blend - natural ingredients that soothe and comfort joints.

If you or your relatives and friends have joint problems and want to know more about these glucosamine products, get in touch with me.

Fortify your Digestive Tract with Healthy Flora

As a result of our modern diet, nearly everyone suffers from occasional indigestion, constipation, and related abdominal discomfort due to an imbalance of "good" and "bad" flora in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

I'm taking a daily supplement, with each capsule containing 5 billion colonies of flora per daily dose, which helps to balance your intestinal tract with "good" flora. Another unique feature lies in its two acid-resistant probiotic strains - Lactobacillus acidophilus (which targets your small intestines) and Bifidobacterium lactis (which works in your colon). The probiotics are further enhanced with a proprietary blend of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), calcium phosphate and green tea extract to maximize the growth of these probiotics and helps in maintaining a healthy digestive system.

Your body contains billions of bacteria and other microorganisms. The term "probiotics" refers to dietary supplements or foods that contain beneficial, or "good," bacteria that are similar to those normally found in your body. According to the currently adopted definition by the World Health Organisation (WHO), probiotics are: "Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host".

Although you don't need probiotics to be healthy, these microorganisms may provide some of the same health benefits that the bacteria already existing in your body do — such as assisting with digestion and helping protect against harmful bacteria.

In addition to supplements, probiotics can be found in such foods as yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, miso, and some juices and soy drinks.

There is a growing public and scientific interest in probiotics. Researchers are studying whether probiotics taken as foods or supplements can help treat or prevent illness. There is encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:

• Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
• Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
• Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Reduce bladder cancer recurrence
• Shorten the duration of intestinal infections
• Prevent and treat inflammation following colon surgery (pouchitis)
• Prevent eczema in children

The daily supplement which I take has been very effective for me. I recently also gave my friend a 5-day supply of the supplements when he told me that he was going over to India for a working trip. Knowing the infamous stories of bowel misadventures in India, I thought that the supplements would help him avoid such misadventures. Ever wondered why mainly tourists to India get such misadventures. The local Indians have a diet which involves taking yogurt to provide them with the probiotics they need. My friend faithfully took the supplements and when he returned from his trip, he was very thankful to me as the supplements really worked.

So if you want to want to fortify your digestive tract with healthy flora, try the supplements that I am taking. For more information on the supplement, you can contact me.

Toxic Brew: Are we poisoning our kids?

We seem to be a society obsessed with cleanliness. We want our whites whiter and our bathrooms and kitchens hospital-grade disinfected. Industry has answered: today's cleaning products promise faster, easier, and better results with no scrubbing.


Is our clean-freak streak harming our kids? In the "Toxic Brew" video, several experts (including a toxicologist, a senior researcher, a prominent pediatrician, an indoor air quality specialist, and an expert on chemical hazardous information) are asked this question. You'll be shocked at what they tell us.


Many childhood illnesses are rising at a very worrisome rate. Respiratory illness is now the leading cause of admission to hospitals for children. Childhood asthma has jumped by 400 percent over the last 20 years. Learning problems like ADD are on the rise. After injuries, cancer is now the leading cause of death in children between the ages of 5 and 9. Incredibly, most of the 80,000 chemicals in common use today have never been checked for harmful effects to our children's immature brains and immune systems.


The "Toxic Brew" video is a 20 minute segment from a consumer awareness television program called Marketplace on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation network. Although it originated in Canada, it is ideal for consumers in other markets.

Scams to be wary of when travelling overseas

Extracted from a Forum...



1. Subject: Duped by credit card scam upon check in at Hotel



You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.

Someone calls the front desk and asks for (example) Room 620 (which happens to be your room). Your phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following: "This is the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read me your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits numbers at the reverse side of your charge card."

Not thinking anything you might give this person your information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam of someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk. They ask for a random room number. Then they ask you for credit card information and address information, sounding so professional that you think you are talking to the front desk.

If you ever encounter this problem on your vacation, tell the caller that you will be down at the front desk to clear up any problems. Then go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information, acting like a front desk employee.





2. Subject: While driving in Malaysia



Driving to JB, if you get RM10.00 in your car door handle, use tissue paper or cloth to remove it without opening it, and, if possible, bag it. Drive away immediately. Don't check the note until you are in the company of your friends or relatives.

The note could
(i) either contain powdered drugs to knock you out
or
(ii) make you wonder if some guilty motorist compensating you for a knock or scratch on your car. While you are still wondering, the robber(s) will attack you as you check the car.

This has happened in Johor.





3. Subject: Bangkok International Airport

Folks, be warned and be really careful. When buying duty-free at Bangkok International Airport, check the items you bought and give back what does not belong to you even when the shop assistants claimed it's 'free'. I believe the duty free shop assistants would also get a share........so, be very, very careful.


Read below an account by someone:

Her cousin was detained in Bangkok for stealing a box of cigarettes in a duty-free shop in Bangkok International Airport. He had paid for chocolates and a carton of cigarettes. The cashier had put a packet of smokes into his bag and he thought it was a free pack. He was arrested for shop-lifting and the Thai Police extortion price was RM30,000 for his release. He spent two nights in jail and paid RM50 for an air-con cell, 200-300 baht for each visitor, and RM11,000 for his final release. The Police shared the money in front of his eyes. On top of that, he was charged in court and fined RM2,000 by the magistrate and handcuffed and escorted to his plane. His passport was stamped "Thief". While there, his relatives requested help from the Malaysian Embassy and was told that they are helpless, as Malaysians are victimised similarly daily and letters and phone-calls to the Thai Authorities are ignored. He shared a cell with a Singaporean the 1st night who paid RM60,000 for his release. The 2nd night was an Indian national who paid USD70,000. Mind you this is not in a shag downtown Bangkok but in a duty free shop in Bangkok's Int'l Airport.

Increase your Energy

If you are like most people, your body does a good job at storing energy in the form of fat. But your body may not be as good at converting that fat back into energy. Even if you're active, your body sees fat as an asset that it won't give up easily.


When you start to work out, your body creates a chemical called adenosine that inhibits the conversion of fat into energy. Adenosine is a natural by-product that can slow fat-burning and eventually halt sustained activity. It may be keeping your body from using the fat you want to lose. Adenosine also promotes lactic acid buildup - causing fatigue and muscle stiffness.


There is an energy bar that stops adenosine from taking effect. When you eat this great-tasting energy bar 15 minutes before you exercise, your energy levels will soar and you'll burn fat - both vital for reaching your fitness goals. And to top it all, because of reduced lactic acid in the body, there is less or no muscle stiffness after the workout.


This energy bar is the first and only patented Fat Conversion Activity Bar for enhanced workouts and reduced body fat. It works by naturally blocking the energy-sapping effects of adenosine. Muscles use less sugar and more stored fat for energy. It gives you greater endurance with less fatigue. This energy bar turns fat into fuel, working differently from other energy bars.


By eating one of these energy bars on an empty stomach 15 minutes before exercising, you will have readily accessible calories for your body to draw on, which kick-starts your workout while still allowing the processes that help unlock the stored fat to activate. This results in a more enjoyable workout because you feel more energetic and sustained.


Many of my friends have commented that I seemed to have shed my excess fats around my tummy, and also wonder at my sustained energy levels during my sports trainings, when everybody else who are less than half my age, seemed to be all tired out. Well, the secret to that can now be revealed. I take the energy bar 15 minutes before I start my training. Yes, it's that delicious chocolatey bar my friends see me munch on just before my training and competition matches start. And I'm not the only one doing it - top Olympians are also tapping on this patented nutrition that turns fat into fuel. I've also passed some of these energy bars to my friends to have a try, and they have all attested to its effectiveness.


If you want to know more about this energy bar or Fat Conversion Activity Bar, and how you can get your hands on this great product, get in touch with me.

New technology for better Multivitamin-Minerals: Oligofructose Complex

You know, staying healthy in general is all about getting proper nutrition. It turns out that Mom was right when she told us to eat our fruits and vegetables. But unfortunately, 80% of Singapore adults do not eat the fruits and vegetables they should on a daily basis.

Even the American Medical Association stated in 2002 that everyone should take a daily supplement to ensure proper nutrition. But which one? There are so many out there to choose from. Plus, it can get pretty frustrating for folks taking vitamins. A lot of times, you take them but you don't really feel any difference. Well, that's because it's not what it says on the bottle that matters, but instead what is actually available for your body to use. More than that, what's really important is getting enough antioxidants to fight free radical damage because science tells us that free radicals have been linked to numerous health concerns.

A breakthrough scientific discovery was recently announced called Oligofructose Complex. Oligofructose Complex delivers nutrition like nature intended by actually binding minerals to organic compounds to mirror the way nutrients are found in fruits and vegetables.

Now what this does is two-fold. First, it keeps the minerals soluble in the intestine, which is where absorption takes place. In fact, laboratory studies indicate that these supplements are 9 times more soluble than popular brands. Second, and perhaps the most important part of the announcement, is the discovery that most forms of mineral supplements actually generate free radicals in the small intestines - which appear to neutralize many of the antioxidants - leaving our bodies unprotected from free radical damage.

With the new discovery of Oligofructose Complex, which is patent-pending, the product is the first and only mineral to actually shield the minerals from producing free radicals - preserving the antioxidants so they can be absorbed and used by your body to keep you healthy. This exclusive product is so exciting, and a huge step to help us all stay proactive in protecting our health.

This is new science that has just been developed, researched and tested by some of the world's leading free radical and nutritional scientists, and is indeed an important breakthrough that I feel needs to be shared.
