The word 'krill' means whale food in Norwegian and was considered only worthy for whales, sharks, and mantas. But recent research has proved that these tiny little crustaceans are the best source for Omega3 fatty acids.

The fatty acids present in krill are known to control heart diseases, stroke, cancer, PMS, osteoarthritis, lower cholesterol, decrease swelling, and make blood platelets less sticky. It is said that packaged in the form of phospholipids that are easier to absorb and also contain other nutrients like choline and antioxidants. It is these nutrients that make them a better choice when compared to fish oil. They're also easily absorbed by the body and hence smaller doses of krill oil are sufficient.

"But it's just not any other krill that is effective. Antarctic krill is considered to be the best possible Omega3 fatty acids. It contains a very high amount of astaxanthin- the antioxidant that fights infection, inflammation and other diseases," says a spokesperson for K48.

Krill sourced from the Antarctic is also known to be environmentally sustainable. With Antarctic krill, there is no problem of over-harvesting. Scientists have found that if the total weight of these crustaceans in the Antarctic is more than the weight of all humans on Earth!

"Our krill oil is made using the deep sea krill that is harvested in an ecological process that is sustainable. This krill is then cold pressed to produce the finest quality Omega3 supplements in the market" adds the spokesperson.

It is not only the source that matters, but also the process of harvesting that determines the quality of the krill. "The krill that we harvest belongs to the Euphasia species that live an average 10 years longer than krills that live in the South Pole. We have more than 15 international patents on the process. These processes make sure that the enzymes do not eat into the nutrients in the krill and the resultant oil is one of the most bio-active and potent source of Omega3 fatty acids," says the spokesperson.

About the Company:

We offer the most bio-active form of omega 3's available. Our Essential fatty acid premium grade omega 3 krill oil is optimal for lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation, PMS, ADHD, autism, osteoarthritis, joint pain, and much more...

Well, the solution to this is to find a proper hospital for your beloved pet. Well if you want to emphasis on the doctor, then you can find a good doctor and then choose his hospital for your pet. But only the reputation of the doctor isn’t everything whenever you are considering the complete care of your pet. There are a few other things that you should take care of. The hospital should have no bad reputation and they should be well within your reach in terms of expenditure. The location of the vet hospital should not be very far from your place.

The most important thing is the availability of the emergency care service. Nowadays, almost all vet hospitals come with emergency service back up to start the proper treatment of your pet in case of any emergency. There are a few other things that you should take care of including proper vaccination of your pet to prevent any type of infection due to worms and any other diseases. Dental care of the pets is also very important but little care is taken in this part. Regular dental cleaning and proper treatment in case of any problem is very necessary. If proper dental care is taken, then it will increase the life span of your pet from 3-5 years. The vet products are not always available everywhere in the general market. So make sure that the hospital has got all the necessary vet products so that you don’t have to run here and there in case of emergency.

A passionate food lover, are you? Does it show on your body? If you cannot seem to keep a check on your body weight, there is an excellent program that can help you slim down – a weight loss hypnosis program. Don’t worry, you do not have to undergo strenuous, unrealistic restrictions, like running for hours or nearly starving to death; it is possible to lose weight through mediation.

A guide to the weight loss hypnosis program:

Weight loss by hypnosis accommodates issues such as sleeplessness, restlessness, emotional and mental instability, mental alertness, and depression. It has been noted that 60% of people who suffer from depression are overweight. Depression elicits a hormone in the body that causes hunger. This false hunger translates into more than necessary food consumption, which ultimately leads to unwanted weight gain.

If you will diligently follow a hypnosis program designed for weight loss, you can actually keep your body relaxed. A relaxed body translates into a greater metabolism rate. Metabolism means better digestion and better energy supply to organs. This way, you will be able to burn excess weight faster.

One thing to remember about the weight loss hypnosis program is that it has nothing to do with physical weight loss. It enhances your capacity to work out, makes you more disciplined in your eating habits, and keeps you in overall better health.

DeFina, Ph.D., a world renowned neuroscientist and well-known author, lecturer, and clinician, will be presenting his newest research findings at the Cuban Society of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Meetings will be held in Havana, Cubafrom November 15-19, 2012 at the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery.Dr. DeFina will meet with the Director and Scientific Committee of the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, as well as the Executive Committee of the Cuban Society of Clinical Neurophysiology to provide updates and share new research and clinical outcomes.

Joining Dr. DeFina will be Calixto Machado, MD, PhD, FAAN,President of the Cuban Group for the Study of Disorders of Consciousness of the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the number one cause of death in young adults and together with spinal cord injury is a major determinant of disability; both diseases incur high socio- economic costs both in the acute treatment phase and in the long-term due to loss of productive life years. Dr. DeFina's research team has been awarded a 6.4 million dollar grant by the US government to continue research in the area of coma and prolonged vegetative state. His advanced care protocol has been awarded an FDA approval this year.

An army veteran of the first Gulf War himself, Dr. DeFina and his team have been successful in awakening over seventy individuals from coma and from minimally conscious or vegetative states; seven of those were injured soldiers, and some have even returned to work or school. Dr. DeFina has used various treatments with success, such as electronic brain stimulation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. He realizes the importance of the electrochemical balance in the brain. Dr. DeFina wants to reverse the thought that there is no hope for traumatic brain injury patients. Their research and worldwide collaborations focus on treatment and education in the areas of severe disorders of consciousness and coma, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's and dementia, autism, learning disorders, ADHD, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy and other neurological disorders.

The Advanced Care Protocol (ACP) was developed by Dr. DeFina, the Founder of the International Brain Research Foundation (IBRF), and his international team. "The ACP has a long developmental history, with years of fine tuning, utilizing a combination of brain neuromarkers to help determine the tailored novel administration of pharmaceuticals, nutritive substances, and electrical stimulation in order to jumpstart the brain of the patients. The goal of the IBRF is to continue to provide novel, cutting edge diagnostic research and clinical applications.

Dr. DeFina coordinates and facilitates groundbreaking research like the research he will be presenting at the Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery conference in Cuba. This meeting is sure to be enjoyable and educational for all in attendance!

Dental implants should never be dealt with in a casual manner by the affected patient or by the cosmetic dentist Miami. There are many hazards that are often associated with the failure of dental implants like excessive blood loss and extreme pain.

When can a dental implant be considered a failure?

A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium screw to bridge the gap and form a connection between the dental bone and the affected tooth. If placed well, this screw eventually makes the artificial tooth feel and look like an original one. When such a screw is not placed properly, the Miami cosmetic surgeryis considered a failure. When the bone is damaged of up to 1.0mm within a year of the surgery,the damage has the possibility of spreading even further into the bone.

Other reasons for failure

Sometimes the timing of the surgery is also a reason to be blamed. If the dental condition of the patient has not deteriorated, yet he/she has been made to go through the operation, the outcome can be extremely painful. In such a condition, the titanium screw is not placed properly with the bone, leading to a complete failure of the surgery.

Precautions on your part

It is not the surgery that can always be blamed for the reason for failure. Research shows that diabetic patients and those who are smokers experience high rates of failure in the surgeries. For those who indulge in heavy smoking, it is better to quit far before the surgery to avoid chance of failure.

VitaMedica developed a series of Recovery Products tutorial videos to help patients determine the best recovery nutritional solution for their upcoming plastic surgery procedure. In the videos, Dr. David H. Rahm, medical director and founder of VitaMedica, discusses the importance of nutrition for recovery. He also reviews the use of Arnica for bruising, bromelain for inflammation and vitamins for immune support and wound healing.

In an increasingly competitive employment market, many women and men are resorting to cosmetic surgery to look their best. But with limited vacation days and a high interest in discretion, it's no surprise that patients want to minimize recovery and downtime.

With internet search rates for plastic surgery preparation and recovery closing in on 90 million per month, it's clear that patients want to take a proactive approach to improving their recovery time.

So, what are they seeking and finding from all these internet searches?

The most popular searches involve the use of natural homeopathic remedies like Arnica montana for bruising. Other popular searches include the use of bromelain for swelling and nutrients like vitamin C for healing. But, with so much information available on the web, identifying which products work best is a challenge for even the savviest patients.

To address this need, VitaMedica developed four new videos to help patients determine the VitaMedica Recovery product that is best suited for their upcoming plastic surgical or non-surgical procedure. These include Why Recovery Nutraceuticals, Arnica Montana & Bruising, Bromelain & Inflammation and Vitamins & Immune Support. All of the videos can be found in the Learn section of the company website.

In the Recovery introductory video, Dr. Rahm provides patients with basic guidelines for taking nutritional supplements around the time of surgery.

Dr. Rahm, who is a board-certified anesthesiologist says, "Patients often don't realize that a number of popular supplements can negatively affect a surgical procedure, or even cause their surgery to be canceled."

He continues, "While some supplements may be great for your health long-term they can actually worsen bruising and bleeding or interfere with pharmaceuticals during surgery." This video helps bring awareness to this issue for patients.

"Providing videos on our website is just an extension of an educational focus that we've always had," says Yvette La-Garde, VitaMedica's director of education. She continues, "We already offer a wealth of information on our website including a Recovery Products Quiz which helps patients select the best product for them but video format just makes easier for those who want to learn the information as quickly as possible."

While not a household name, VitaMedica has offered a line of nutritionally based Recovery Products through plastic surgeons, facial plastics, cosmetic derms and medical spas for over a decade. Many of these practices not only offer a VitaMedica Recovery product as part of the overall price of a procedure but also provide guidance on the best nutraceutical to accompany a patient's procedure.

But, more recently, the company started offering its Recovery product line directly to patients via their website. This approach is ideal for patients who have heard about the benefits of using VitaMedica but whose doctor does not carry the product line - typically a non-aesthetic practice. The downside is that these patients need more education about which VitaMedica Recovery product is best suited for their needs.

For a full list of supplements to discontinue around the time of surgery, refer to VitaMedica's Surgery Supplements Guidelines. For more information on the dietary & lifestyle measures you can take to support healing and speed recovery, see VitaMedica's Recovery Guidelines.

Since 1997, VitaMedica has offered a targeted line of nutraceuticals for recovery and wellness through aesthetic medical practices including plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists, medical skin care clinics and medical spas. For more information, please call VitaMedica at 1-888-367-8605 or visit www.vitamedica.com.

The latest global online search trends show that the hydro penile pump marketis growing vastly compared to the most popular alternative device - traction extenders.

The leading hydro penile pump manufacturer Bathmate has become a key focal point of the male enhancement industry, with a revolutionary new method of penis enlargement. The Bathmate operates whilst sitting in a bath, by creating a water vacuum for the penis to be drawn into. The core concept of penis pumps has been around for many years, however finding a private place to use such devices appears to be a challenging experience. With the hydro pump requiring use within a bathroom, a 20-minute pumping session will not seem abnormal, as the average time spent in the bath is 14 minutes.

Google Insights reveals that the brand searches around Bathmate has increased at a normalized rate by 500% since 2008. Bathmate's first distribution was from Canada to America and the United Kingdom, however it is now available for dispatch to 39 different countries.

In comparison, leading penis extender brand on MalesVue SizeGenetics has shown very little increase in online search through out the past four years with a normalized flat line growth. The large increase may also be due to Bathmate's recent collaboration with the ImpactFive affiliate network and having a large number of penis enlargement website owners place the hydro pump on their domains.

Michael Jones who established malesvue.com, a leading men's sexual health site said, "It is great to see new innovative products like the Bathmate come into the market. I have seen a lot of small companies piggy back off larger companies, especially with successful enhancement devices like the SizeGenetics Extender. You only have to look on e-Bay and various other sites to see that the industry has not evolved since the penis extender was introduced."

Mr Smith continues "The SizeGenetics Extender became extremely popular after it's publicity on the BBC's popular late night Jonathan Ross Show. If Bathmate are able to gain the same level of exposure on such programs, then it is quite likely that Bathmate could become the leading male enhancement product, but also encourage other companies to keep innovating."

Bathmate have patented the device in numerous countries so it is quite possible that not many other companies can enter the hydro penile pump market, however we may see more new devices and techniques being developed in the future years.

About the Company:

Michael Jones established malesvue.com in 2007 with the aim of educating young males about sexual health and well being. Malesvue is one of the leading online researchers for male enhancement and provides a vast wealth of information that is available for free on the public domain.
