The inventor of the most revolutionary hair straightening system in history offers her own “straight” tips on taking care of the sleek, shiny, straight mane you have always wanted!

(PRWEB) February 20, 2003

Beverly Hills, CA - The inventor of the most revolutionary hair straightening system in history offers her own “straight” tips on taking care of the sleek, shiny, straight mane you have always wanted!

Wetting hair: Wet hair as though you are soaking it in water. Trap the water (at 100 F) in your hands and gently massage hair. Now dirt & oil will be rinsed out! Be careful not to use too hot of water - it will strip hair of essential oils and cause the cuticle to become damaged. When hair is wet, finger-dry with a blowdryer, whose nozzle is facing down the hair shaft.

Shampooing: Shampoo scalp for 2 minutes! It is not necessary to lather too much - this can cause damage to the hair's cuticle. Keeping your scalp clean and healthy is vital.

Rinsing: Just as you wet your hair in the first step, trap the water and gently massage with it. Do not use strong water pressure to rinse hair.

Treatment: Conditioning treatments revitalize and replenish lost protein and nutrients in hair. It is now necessary to apply conditioner every time you shampoo your hair. The amount of conditioner varies, but a nickel size for medium length hair and a quarter size for long hair is correct. Apply conditioner below the ear line!

Towel Drying: Towel blot excess moisture, rather than rubbing down with a towel. Gently blot the moisture at the ends to avoid friction between strands of hair that will cause cuticle damage.

Blow Drying: Begin styling the hair when the scalp is completely dry and 80% of the hair is dry.

Air drying your hair after shampoo will cause more damage than blowdrying! After towel drying your hair, spray in a leave-in conditioner. Then blow-dry the nape first, leaving the area above the forehead second. The bottom part should be dried first, so that the top part does not absorb the moisture from the bottom. This offers body.

DO NOT use styling products for two days after being YUKOed!

Hair accessories: Do NOT tie your hair in a ponytail, or even tuck behind ears for two days after getting YUKOed. It may DENT hair. Do not wear any hats for a week after the Yuko System,

COLOR: Consult your hair stylist before using home color or bleach on YUKO hair. Bleached hair is not recommended. For professional color wait two weeks after the process to get color.

YUKO hair care products can be viewed & purchased online at www. yukosystem. com. This includes their sought-after BELLA conditioner and PURE OIL (synthetic shark oil) for hair and skin.

Green Office of the Future Opens in Chicago Open House Features State of the Art Energy Efficient Office Space

Green Office of the Future Opens in Chicago Open House Features State of the Art Energy Efficient Office Space

Energy prices are in the news and on everyone's mind. Fortunately, there are readily available solutions. A new economically sustainable, energy efficient office of the future makes its debut Tuesday, May 9 on Michigan Avenue at the new home of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance at 645 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 990.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 5, 2006

High-performance, economically sustainable office space will make its Michigan Avenue debut Tuesday at the new offices of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA). On May 9 from 5-7 PM MEEA will showcase its new energy efficient office space with a reception and open house in downtown Chicago at 645 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 990.

Not content to simply advise others on how to reduce their energy and environmental impact, MEEA stepped up and is applying for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Commercial Interiors (LEED-CI) Green Building Rating System®, which is the green benchmark for the tenant improvement market. LEED-CI gives the power to make sustainable choices to tenants and designers who do not always have control over whole building operations. LEED-CI is the recognized standard for certifying high-performance green interiors that are healthy, productive places to work, less costly to operate and maintain and reduce environmental footprint.

“MEEA places high value in creating a work environment that aligns with our mission,” stated MEEA president, Alecia Ward. “We went through the LEED certification process and are very pleased with the result. Our office space is a model for Chicago and other Midwest businesses.”

The LEED Green Building Rating System for Commercial Interiors addresses performance areas including: selection of sustainable tenant space; efficiency of water usage; energy performance optimization including lighting and lighting controls; resource utilization for interior building systems and furnishings; and indoor environmental air quality including comprehensive emissions criteria.

The LEED certification process seeks to maximize the recycled content of all construction component materials. MEEA utilized significant amounts of recycled material including: reflective ceiling tiles, aluminum ceiling grid and door framing, steel studs, static control floor tile for the server room and non-static control tile for the kitchen flooring, carpet and carpet adhesive and gypsum drywall.

Ms. Ward stated, “Recycling and waste reduction allowed MEEA to retain the recycled content building materials, helps us achieve the desired LEED rating and made our office space a demonstration project for environmentally friendly office design.”

MEEA gratefully acknowledges the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) for its sponsorship and assistance in developing the new office space.

About MEEA

The Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) is a collaborative network whose purpose is to advance energy efficiency in the Midwest in order to support sustainable economic development and environmental preservation.

MEEA is a leader in increasing and sustaining the level of energy efficiency in the Midwest region by fostering increased market penetration of existing energy-efficient technologies and promoting new technologies, products and best practices, including renewable energy.

IMG Chosen by Alcan Packaging for Rollouts of SAP Business One

IMG Chosen by Alcan Packaging for Rollouts of SAP Business One

The Information Management Group (IMG), a provider of innovative business process engineering services and an authorized SAP® Business One reseller, today announced global rollouts of SAP Business One with be. as manufacturing add-on at Alcan Packaging. Initial rollout scope will include 22 facilities worldwide with upwards to 40 in the coming months.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 23, 2007

The Information Management Group (IMG), a provider of innovative business process engineering services and an authorized SAP® Business One reseller, today announced global rollouts of SAP Business One at Alcan Packaging with an initial scope of 22 facilities worldwide. With 130 manufacturing sites in 31 countries throughout the Americas, Asia and Europe, Alcan Packaging is a world leader in packaging for food, pharmaceuticals, medical, health and beauty, and tobacco industries. Alcan Packaging selected IMG as its global implementation partner for SAP Business One, SAP's affordable and integrated business management solution for small and midsize enterprises. Complemented by the be. as Corporation's manufacturing add-on, SAP Business One provides Alcan Packaging with a low-cost manufacturing solution, which can be quickly deployed at each location yet integrated with the SAP Business Suite. IMG announced its Alcan Packaging implementations at SAPPHIRE® '07, the SAP international customer conference where IMG Americas is exhibiting (Pod #22; Georgia World Congress Center).

"Worldwide, Alcan Packaging is a leading manufacturer of packaging for the food, beauty, tobacco and pharmaceutical industries," noted Massimo Spada, vice president of IT at Alcan Packaging. "As an industry leader, the company is continually evolving its manufacturing technologies and practices, optimizing its manufacturing footprint, and enhancing its procurement efficiencies. All of these processes must be aligned worldwide and SAP Business One enables that alignment with end-to-end business process visibility at a quarter of the cost of a traditional business management and manufacturing solution," continued Spada. Working with Alcan Packaging and be. as, IMG developed a comprehensive SAP Business One core model -- Alcan Packaging global blueprint. "This single blueprint will be implemented across business sectors, as an interim solution for green field projects, and for specifically identified Alcan Packaging manufacturing operations worldwide," noted Klaus Schottenhamel, president and CEO of IMG Americas.

IMG Gets Green Light for One of the Largest SAP Business One Global Rollouts
While implementation blueprints can present any number of challenges, Alcan Packaging's blueprint for a global rollout was unique. "The Alcan Packaging blueprinting phase was challenging as Alcan Packaging wanted a single blueprint -- a 'ready-to-go' core model to address the business requirements of all Alcan Packaging market sectors in all of the countries where Alcan Packaging has manufacturing facilities," noted Fredy Marty, senior vice president at IMG and Alcan Packaging project's executive sponsor in Europe. This approach is intended to minimize implementation time and investments and enable simultaneous rollouts to accelerate Alcan Packaging global SAP Business One implementations.

Alcan Packaging, be. as and IMG successfully developed a global blueprint that addresses all business requirements of Alcan Packaging manufacturing, inventory, logistics and financials. Alcan Packaging and subsidiaries in 20 countries already have tested blueprint tasks and functions and signed validations. These validations give IMG the green light to execute on Alcan Packaging pilots on Arenzano (Italy) and Suzhou (China). As Alcan Packaging has multiple sites in many countries, it is projected that as few as 20 and upwards to 40 implementations of SAP Business One will be rolled out in the coming months, "making Alcan Packaging one of the largest global implementation programs to date of SAP Business One," noted Marty.

"Our global manufacturing base enables us to consistently and rapidly translate trends into innovative packaging solutions," said Michele Dalla Valle, vice president of IT Solution and Service Delivery at Alcan Packaging. SAP Business One supports that strategic direction with business-critical SAP modules that are easy to use and function-rich. "We needed, however, an implementation partner with an international footprint that matched ours and who has domain expertise in SAP Business One combined with the ability to integrate manufacturing capabilities," continued Dalla Valle. "It was important for us to realize all the time-to-value benefits that originally sold us on SAP Business One and IMG was the implementation partner of choice. Their international presence and SAP Business One expertise are unrivaled."

"IMG's business process know-how was a strong help to us to in developing a blueprint that meets our specific business objectives," said Dalla Valle. The Alcan Packaging blueprint also integrated manufacturing-specific capabilities delivered with the be. as add-on including: manufacturing management; cost calculations; production data collection and controlling functions.

To meet localization requirements, IMG will provide Alcan Packaging with implementation teams that not only have SAP Business One expertise but also have local language fluency and are familiar with cultural issues that may impact business requirements. "While the entire SAP partner network helps our customers quickly derive value from SAP Business One, IMG Americas distinguishes itself with 'feet on the street' virtually anywhere in the world," said Ralf Mehnert-Meland, director of Business Development at SAP. "IMG's truly global presence offers significant value to our SAP Business One customers."

"We expect that our 'ready-to-go' blueprint will net us significant time and resource efficiencies while improving business process transparency and giving us better control of plant operations," said Dalla Valle. "And, the entire organization is highly motivated to move these implementations forward with IMG."

Jeff Craig Chooses e-Kanban by Datacraft Solutions

Jeff Craig Chooses e-Kanban by Datacraft Solutions

Ice plays an integral role in the foodservice, hospitality, supermarket and healthcare industries. It cools our carbonated beverages and bar drinks. It keeps supermarket fish and produce fresh and appetizing. It supports hospital patient care and rehabilitation therapies. Every facility mentioned above has at least one piece of ice making, ice storage, or ice dispensing equipment.

(PRWEB) February 22, 2005

Ice plays an integral role in the foodservice, hospitality, supermarket and healthcare industries. It cools our carbonated beverages and bar drinks. It keeps supermarket fish and produce fresh and appetizing. It supports hospital patient care and rehabilitation therapies. Every facility mentioned above has at least one piece of ice making, ice storage, or ice dispensing equipment. For over 50 years, Follett Corporation has led the industry in designing and manufacturing high quality, innovative ice storage bins, ice storage and transport systems, ice and water dispensers and ice and beverage dispensers for the foodservice, healthcare and supermarket industries. FollettÂ’s headquarters and state-of-the art manufacturing facility are located in Easton, PA.

Jeff Craig, a Senior Purchasing Agent, with Follett Ice shared how reducing inventory was to the central to company’s operation. “During 2004 one of our major objectives was to remove excess inventory from the work cells and drive them back to a central location, where they would await demand. With the decrease in available floor space and our internal success with “pull”, it seemed to be a natural progression to seek electronic kanban pull solutions.” Craig worked with other Purchasing Agents in the organization, based on years of experience in manufacturing, planning, and procurement, to develop a comprehensive “wish list” for a kanban system.

Craig noted that, “The evaluation process of Datacraft Solutions (www. datacraftsolutions. com), e-kanban product Signum, took us about 2.5 months in all. The components of evaluation were to first understand the product. What will the product do; and just as important, what it won't do. Next, we asked the question, is this product useful to our organization? We then want to talk to an actual user. Seeing the system up and running was a major component to my recommendation. We then needed to evaluate our ability to support this implementation from a people resource perspective.

Craig saw the integration with their Epicor’s Avante ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) business system as a critical component. “It is unlikely we would have moved forward without a complete integration,” according to Craig. Product distinction in Quality Procurement/e-Kanban:

The big difference between the Datacraft system and the Follett Ice home grown system was the consistency Datacraft Solutions provides. Each time Follett Ice expanded their home grown system, the company was forced to add small tweaks that make each one unique. The ERP system being used did not communicate with the ERP system in the way that Datacraft Solutions does.

According to Jeff Craig the real ROI benefits of the Datacraft Solutions implementation are:

$150K inventory reduction = 57% IRR for 3 years and 71% IRR for 5 years. These calculations leave out the people time investment.

According to Sam Bayer, President of Datacraft Solutions, “Follett Ice using our e-kanban procurement solution represents a tremendous commitment to a lean manufacturing process.”

New Stannah Midilift XLplus Powers Health and Wellbeing at High Wycombe Surgery

New Stannah Midilift XLplus Powers Health and Wellbeing at High Wycombe Surgery

Hot off the production line, in demand and straight into service, Stannah Lifts’ latest addition to its range of vertical platform lifts, the Midilift XLplus, is helping to deliver an all-time high in health and wellbeing at Carrington House Surgery, High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.

(PRWEB) June 23, 2010

Carrington House Surgery is a modern, purpose-built NHS medical practice that has provided an invaluable health service to the local community for over twelve years. But, in response to Government directives requiring more services to be offered in the primary care sector, the surgery is expanding. Once housing their administration offices, the first floor is being converted into consulting rooms, thereby necessitating lift access for people with restricted mobility, from pushchair-pushers to wheelchair-users.

Centrally located in the premises, the vertical platform lift (http://www. stannahlifts. co. uk/platformlifts/) features clear glass panels to three sides with two half-height mirrors to the right-hand side wall, ranged either side of the control panel. Enclosed in a glass shaft, it offers scenic and convenient travel between the spacious, ground-floor reception area and the first-floor consulting rooms. Harmonising with the clean, neutral décor, the lift offers an impressive, high-tech facility wholly in keeping with its surroundings.

Since handover of the Midilift XLplus in April 2010, Carrington House Surgery is poised to deliver care at even healthier heights. By streamlining the movement of all mobility compromised individuals between the two floors, the lift also helps the practice owners meet DDA requirements.

The new dynasty Midilift XLplus benefits everyone involved. Supplied in a structure-supported enclosure for swift, adaptable, cost-effective installation, it is the ideal solution for buildings where it is not necessary, practical or possible to install a conventional passenger lift (http://www. stannahlifts. co. uk/passengerlifts).

Lift users and budget-conscious, space-strapped owners appreciate the advanced range of ergonomic features such as automatic push-button controls for ease of operation; a partially enclosed car for an enhanced sense of safety; two car styles for a greater choice of finishes, and a new traction drive system for a smooth, quiet ride with an increased travel to 12m for loads up to 400kg.

Carrington House Surgery Practice Manager, Helen Morris-Khan, enthuses: “Stairs may be great exercise but, for various reasons, not everyone – staff included – can always use them, so the provision of the Midilift XLplus means we offer an even better health service and working environment to everyone who sets foot inside the surgery. It is totally in keeping with our contemporary, dedicated facility and it is hard to imagine the working day without its assistance.”

Herban Lifestyle, LLC Launches New Line of All-Natural and Organic, Toxin-Free Baby Products

Herban Lifestyle, LLC Launches New Line of All-Natural and Organic, Toxin-Free Baby Products

Herban Lifestyle, LLC launches its new line of all-natural and organic baby products.

Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) June 3, 2009

With Bisphenol A and other harmful chemicals making their way into many leading baby care products, it is a relief to find a company dedicated to purity. This month, Herban Lifestyle, LLC a handcrafted, natural and organic, bath and body product company, launched its new line of baby products. Handmade with safe and all-natural ingredients, Herban Lifestyle Baby™ is designed to support your child's overall health and wellbeing.

"As a mother and developmental psychologist specializing in health and wellness, I am acutely aware of the importance of the environment we create for our children, especially in their early, formative years," said Mary Kearns, PhD., owner of Herban Lifestyle, LLC. "I want to make sure that my products support the health and well being of everyone who uses them, especially babies."

In a recent study conducted by the Environmental Working Group, it was concluded that children come in contact with 27 harmful chemicals daily through the use of regular baby products. Research has shown that exposure to chemicals in personal care products can lead to a number of illnesses, including cancer.

Research by the consumer group Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC) also shows that formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane appear in nearly half of all children's bath products, and, according to the EPA, are considered carcinogenic.

In contrast, Herban Lifestyle Baby™ features products that contain pure oils, essential oils and herbs, which are either certified organic, or pesticide-free/chemical-free. They are handcrafted in small batches using natural and organic ingredients, pure-essential oils, and are finished with earth-friendly packaging.

Currently, the Herban Lifestyle Baby™ product line includes, dry baby, dry: baby powder ($9), don't be rash: diaper rash salve ($12), organic lullaby: baby oil ($12), and baby got bath: baby wash ($10), and is available online and at select stores in the DC area.

"We used the baby oil on [our baby] James" said an Herban Lifestyle customer. "He was a happy little clam after bath time!"

For more information on the company and purchasing options, visit http://www. herbanlifestyle. com (http://www. herbanlifestyle. com). The products are also sold in select stores in the DC-area.

Dieting May Cause Depression -- Clover Naturals Announces a New Product, The Power Formula, to Help With Weight Loss And Boost Moods

Dieting May Cause Depression -- Clover Naturals Announces a New Product, The Power Formula, to Help With Weight Loss And Boost Moods

Feelings of depression can accompany the attempt to lose weight. Clover Naturals, a division of First Impressions Productions, LLC, announces a new product to address this problem. While most people strive for the perfect weight, many put off dieting because of the fear of having the moody and jittery feelings that can accompany diets. The Power Formula (ThePowerFormula. com) was developed to lessen appetite cravings, lethargic moods and lack of energy that can come with dieting.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 18, 2009

One of the biggest problems in losing weight is the ability to maintain a mental state of mind that is positive. Energy is needed to reduce calories. The Power Formula was developed by inventor and entrepreneur Christine Frisbee. She tried other diet products that left her depressed and nervous. Christine knew there was a need for a product that was healthy and would elevate the mood and give more energy. The Power Formula is a combination scientifically researched special herbs that increases your metabolism and makes the digestive track work better. It boosts the immune system and gives needed energy, all in two tablets. It is completely natural and vegetarian. The added vitamins elevate moods and help with the necessary motivation to maintain optimal weight.

Christine worked for the Yale School of Medicine in the 1990's and watched the important research that went behind every new concept. With this in mind, she chose ingredients that are natural and have documented research on their efficacy.

"I love to create new ideas and concepts to solve problems. My mind is always going with solutions to problems. It is fun and energizes me," says Christine.

Other inventions of Christine are the patented and FDA approved SnoreEzzz snore reduction pillow, the MinEzzz Travel Pillow and the relaxation CD, Sound Sleep. They are presently advertised on national radio and television by Clover Naturals, a division of First Impressions Productions, LLC.

Surgical Scientific Products Help To Reduce Infection Risk In Dental Clinics

Surgical Scientific Products Help To Reduce Infection Risk In Dental Clinics

Hospital operating rooms, surgical centers, cath labs, dental and physicians offices, as well as laboratories and long - term care facilities, have required a product that makes all surfaces in health care settings conform to CDC protocols and guidelines for cleaning, sanitation and infection control. Hard Surface Cleaner was developed to "Provide Better Patient Outcomes", with a non-aggressive formula that can be used on LCD monitors, lighting diffusers and booms, laptop key boards, operating tables, cabinetry even floors and walls. Hard Surface Cleaner (HSC) is free of ammonia, bleach and alcohol.

Issaquah, Wa (Vocus/PRWEB) December 16, 2010

In the dental operatory, environmental surfaces (i. e., a surface or equipment that does not contact patients directly) can become contaminated during patient care. Certain surfaces, especially ones touched frequently (e. g., light handles, unit switches, and drawer knobs) can serve as reservoirs of microbial contamination, although they have not been associated directly with transmission of infection to either dentist or patients. Transfer of microorganisms from contaminated environmental surfaces to patients occurs primarily through dental health care professional hand contact. When these surfaces are touched, microbial agents can be transferred to instruments, other environmental surfaces, or to the nose, mouth, or eyes of workers or patients. Although hand hygiene is key to minimizing this transferal, barrier protection or cleaning and disinfecting of environmental surfaces also protects against health-care--associated infections. (Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings---2003)

According to Scott Hanna, CEO at QuickMedical, “The CDC has identified a number of protocols for infection control starting with clean surfaces. The new Hard Surface Cleaner from Surgical Scientific removes residual chemicals left on surfaces without the harmful effects of alcohol, bleach or ammonia which can shorten the life of expensive equipment.” Mr. Hanna concluded, “It has been recommended that alcohol and high-level disinfectants/liquid chemical sterilants not be used on any environmental surfaces.”

When the OSHA Blood borne Pathogens Standard was first enacted in 1991, several studies were conducted to substantiate the cost of infection control or prevention procedures for dentistry. The average cost was estimated to be about $15 per patient visit. This number included the cost of disposable items and barriers, personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks, replacement and repair of hand pieces due to required sterilization, the cost of sterilization equipment, and the use of disinfectants.

Jay Mussel, National Sales Manager for Surgical Scientific said, “Be aware of manufacturer's recommendations for or against using surface disinfectants on some equipment, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning. A dental facility should establish a schedule for cleaning and maintenance on all equipment.” Mr. Mussel went on to say, “Dental equipment, such as patient chairs, will last longer if the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfection are followed; high-alcohol and other kinds of disinfectants may cause the upholstery to dry and crack. Be sure to follow the product instructions for use because good maintenance prevents costly repair bills.”

About QuickMedical:

With great pricing, QuickMedical® has the professional medical equipment needed by health care providers. Look for diagnostic equipment, exam tables, weighing and measuring devices, and medical basics such as stethoscopes, thermometers, and sphygmomanometers. QuickMedical® also offers a wide selection of professional medical supplies; everything from patient care, to blood testing, to exam room products.

New Product Targeting Age Related Diseases In Men to Launch This Week

New Product Targeting Age Related Diseases In Men to Launch This Week

Adult Energy For Men is the first natural liquid energy formula developed for middle aged and senior men. It was created by a former NIH consultant as a food supplement that naturally increases testosterone production without the negative side effects associated with artificial testosterone treatment. This breakthrough formula could change the way men avoid age related diseases and is set to launch March 24, 2009.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 23, 2009

With a family history of diabetes Brian Ayers, a former National Institutes for Health consultant and author, searched for an energy supplement to make the exercise and diet that is required to overcome diabetes easier. His discovery looks to be much more than a diabetes supplement. It could change the way men look at aging.

The newly launched natural liquid supplement Adult Energy For Men (http://www. AdultEnergyForMen. com (http://www. AdultEnergyForMen. com)) is designed to improve the testosterone output of men by giving the body the exact nutrition it needs. For years men were prescribed artificial testosterone through injections, patches or creams. These treatments ignore the body's ability to create its own testosterone and as a result produce several side effects. When the body has the correct nutrition it will create its own testosterone at the right levels just as it did all throughout a developing male's life.

Scientist has known for some time that testosterone loss is the cause of a great number of ailments for men as they age. For men who smoke, drink, don't exercise regularly and take multiple medications the loss is more dramatic. This means dying from a low testosterone related disease is higher.

The testosterone levels in men drops by 1% per year on average. By the age of 50, most men have 30% less testosterone than they did at 20. Low testosterone levels have been linked to heart disease, memory loss, mood swings, loss of muscle mass, pot bellies, higher risk of Alzheimer's, higher risk of osteoporosis, declining sex drive and impotence.

New research shows that a high number of men with diabetes also suffer from low testosterone levels. This means Adult Energy For Men could provide a double benefit of energy and testosterone nutrition for men who suffer from diabetes or are pre-diabetic.

Mr. Ayers calls this product a game changer for middle aged and senior men. "No product is going to do away with exercise and healthy eating, but now there is an effective way to get the nutrition needed to directly stimulate testosterone without unwanted side effects."

Adult Energy For Men will be available for the first time on March 24, 2009 through http://www. AdultEnergyForMen. com (http://www. AdultEnergyForMen. com).

About Adult Energy For Men
Adult Energy For Men is a unique natural liquid formula that was developed by a former NIH consultant to help men and some women who have noticed an overall decline in vitality, mental alertness, stamina, strength and energy level as they have gotten older. It helps you produce testosterone at the right levels and gently increases circulation which can help you feel younger and more vital at the right times without unwanted side effects. This helps counteract the negative effects of testosterone reduction as you age.

Dr. Hafi Urges UN Establishments for Serious Actions To Save Tsunami Areas Poor Babies

Dr. Hafi Urges UN Establishments for Serious Actions To Save Tsunami Areas Poor Babies

The CRRA survey has capitulated three important factors which can crucially emancipate to multiple disabilities among the newly born babies and those below 5 years in ‘Tsunami Refugees Camps’.

(PRWEB) September 21, 2005

In the corollary response of Tsunami catastrophic devastation, Prof. Dr. Aurangzeb Hafi, an independent world famed epidemiological researcher of Pakistan, devised a completely objective-oriented plan consisting on two phases, i. e. ‘child retardation risk’ assessment [CRRA-project] and ‘child retardation risk management’ [CRRM-project]. The first phase i. e. CRRA project was devised to determine, the prospects of different types of physical and mental disabilities among the children below five years, the newly born and the unborn babies, as well.

During the survey, instead of collecting the required data from readily available municipal resources, i. e. hospitals, community health centers and other civil services offices, actual and direct surveys were carried out in refugees camps in the remote and hard-hit areas of Sri Lanka. Personal interviews from individuals, families, camp leaders, and other available responsible persons were made from district Hikkadua to dist. Ampara including Hambantota, Galle and Kalmunai districts.

The survey capitulated three important factors which can crucially emancipate to multiple disabilities among the newly born babies and those below 5 years in ‘Tsunami Refugees Camps’.

1.Toxoplasmosis: 

High susceptibilities for the severe likelihood of ‘toxoplasmosis’ have been found in the camps and temporary shelters of Tsunami refugees, indicated by [CRRA] epidemiological survey.

“Due to the presence of multiple toxic pollutants and the rigorously unhygienic atmosphere of most of the Tsunami refugees’ camps, the likelihood of Toxoplasmosis is probable to boost exponentially” warns Dr. Aurangzrb Hafi, the chief investigator of the Tsunami First Epidemiological CRRA Survey.

Toxoplasmosis is a mild infection that cause cold like symptoms or usually no symptoms in adults but can be horribly hazardous for small and unborn babies. As far as the matter of children below 5 years or the unborns is concerned, it can dangerously cause possible brain defects, eye imperfections and premature childbirth. Till the present moment no precautionary measures have been taken so far to control this serious matter.

Over accommodation of families as per capacity plus number of temporary shelters along with the severely contaminated water and the extremely unhygienic atmosphere of refugees camps are the exceedingly rising key-factors being responsible to increase the receptiveness for the articulated harsh danger.

2.Mal-nutrition:

Relatively altered nutrition in post disaster situation is one of the major causes of hypo-vitaminosis, which may lead to structural as well as functional abnormalities, specially in the children below 5. Children in Tsunami refugeesÂ’ camps are being poorly nourished and are becoming emaciated. The importance of adequate energy depends upon both, quantitative (in form of certain fruits and vegetables etc.) and qualitative (in form of food supplements and multimineral-multivitamin tablets/syrups etc.). Due to, on one hand, severely altered quantitative daily nutrition, and on the other hand, unavailability of qualitative forms of nutritional intakes can result in serious multiple mal-nutrition, which is a universally recognized important cause of physical as well as mental retardation.

3.Mal-absorption:

In addition to, and logically next to mal-nutrition, the second important factor, often and largely involved in post disasters serious health problems, which is usually ignored in disaster management programs, and is one of the major responsible factor for fundamental and complex chemical structural and functional disabilities, is mal-absorption.

Impaired absorption of water, electrolytes and minerals, which is often likely to be occurred in such disasters, causes impaired formation of Micelle + C complex, which in turn results in multiple mal-absorption, a complex mechanical abnormality.

The presence of either both types of deficiencies, or any one of the above mentioned factors can seriously affect the C. M.I. (cell mediated immunity) leading to pathological complications in small babies, specially in those below one year.

The TsunamiÂ’s CRRA Survey has provided a core nucleus, on which response coordination can be built. It has provided important and major issues to be raised up and dealt with.

The findings of [CRRA] survey along with the expounded connotations made by the epidemiological researcher, have been made available to conscientious international agencies for further actions to be taken upon.

The concerned UN establishments, specially The World Health Organization and UNICEF along with other conscientious international agencies are asked for and looked upon accordingly, to take sufficiently serious notice of the situation, urges DR. HAFI of Pakistan, the prime epidemiological researcher of the Post Tsunami state of affairs.
