If you are interested in reading about vibrators, continue to the text below.

A vibrator is a device designed to massage various parts of the body. There is a misconception that vibrators are for women only, when, in fact, they can be used by men for stimulation of both the penis and the anus.

They can offer intense pleasure when applied to any sensitive area of the body. Because of their low cost and versatility if you only buy one adult toy then let it be a good vibrator.

Vibrators come in all shapes and sizes and there are hundreds of different kinds to chose from. We've designed an informative guide to take the mystery out of buying a vibrator and help you find the right one for you.

For Women: By using a vibrator on the clitoris it can help a woman during masturbation to reach orgasm. Internal stimulation with a g-spot vibrator can create a more intense orgasm or multiple-orgasms.

For Men: Using a vibrator around or over the penis can create very pleasurable sensations. Vibrating cock rings or penis sleeves can be used to create the same stimulation. Vibrators can also be used by men for anal stimulation.

For Couples: A vibrator is an excellent complement to any kind of foreplay. A vibrator can help both partners achieve and intensify their orgasms. As you will see, vibrators come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials. There are two main categories that vibrators fall into - battery- powered or AC (Electric Plug In) powered. Battery-powered vibrators are less expensive and more portable. AC-powered vibrators have a stronger vibration and greater durability. As with all adult toys personal preference is all that counts.

Traditional - also called "Rocket Vibrators" or "Smoothies" This is most basic style - straight up and down - manufactured from hard plastic and designed for insertion in the vagina. They usually have multi-speed controls and come in lots of designer colors and sizes. If you have never purchased a vibrator this is the place to start.
Vibrator Sleeves - made to slip over traditional vibrators, sleeves are manufactured out of rubber, jelly, silicone, or hi-tech cyberskin. They are designed to produce a number of versatile erotic sensations.
Massagers - not to be confused with the traditional vibrator, a massager is not designed for internal insertion and is primarily for tension relief, aid in body massages or clitoral stimulation. Most of the large electric vibrators you see fall into this category. Usually about a foot long, these vibes plug into a wall socket and have variable-speed controls. The unit consists of a long handle topped with a soft, vibrating head approximately the size and shape of a tennis ball.
G-Spot - are specifically designed for female g-spot stimulation and will have a small crook at the top of the vibrator. Men, however, can use them for prostrate stimulation.
Jellies - are just traditional style vibrators manufactured out of jelly-like material. The advantage is that the jelly makes them softer to use.
Clitoral - come in two styles: wearable or hand-held and are designed specifically to stimulate the clitoris. While some can be inserted vaginally, these vibes should never be inserted anally. The wearable variety is sometimes called a "Butterfly". Designed to resemble a harness or pair of G-string panties, the butterfly style vibe is a small, intense vibrator held fast to a woman's clitoris for an intense, localized vibration.
Cliteriffic - these are multi-purpose vibrators and perform the function of a traditional vibrator and a clitoral vibrator. They have a shaft that thrusts inside the vagina while a clitoral nodule stimulates the clitoris. These may also be called Hi-Tech or Japanese Style. The Japanese Style have small animal shapes incorporated into the design plus vibrating pearls - the provide intense simultaneous clitoral, vaginal and G-Spot stimulation.
Remote Control - the control for this vibrator can be held by someone else and can even be at a distance. Provides lots of interesting sexual play for couples.
Waterproof - can be used under water (hot tub, shower, or bath) etc. Contoured - the basic design resembles more of a woman's shape rather than the traditional phallic shape.
Egg or Bullet - designed to be placed inside the vaginal opening and come with battery packs for controlling the speed of the vibrations.
Nipple Stimulators - provide the same kinds of vibrator stimulation for the nipple area.
Slims - same length as a "Classic Vibrator" but much thinner in diameter.
Minis and Pocket - small enough to slip in a purse or pocket but just as powerful as the normal size vibrator.
Acrylic - very popular due to their attractive appearance and non-porus surface. CyberSkin - this revolutionary material looks and feels like real skin.
Anal - the physical design of the anal vibrator is smaller in length than traditonal vibrators and specifically for anal penetration.

If this is your first vibrator, we recommend that you start out small and work your way up to the larger sizes. The level of vibration that will please varies from individual to individual. Always start your vibrator on its lowest intensity setting and then experiment to see what feels most comfortable. If the vibrator is simply too powerful, an external vibrator can be defused by placing a towel or piece of cloth over it.

Glad to be of assistance.

Is Austin ready for an investment in an Omega 5 oil company?

Green technology

POMEGA LLC is a green tech company in the sphere of nutraceuticals and cosmecuticals.

It is a clean tech company with sustainable technology based on Omega 5 oil.

Clean technology. Soy bean technology. Call it what you like, but make no mistake: Venture capitalists and entreprenuers are sowing the seeds for what will be a booming alternative-energy market.

If you're curious as to just where the green action is, you should check out the list of the country's top five incubator clusters for clean tech, recently compiled by SustainLane, a provider of online sustainability resources for government, business, and consumers.

Topping the list was none other than Austin, Texas. (Some Texans apparently refer to Austin as a blueberry floating in tomato soup, a reference to the city's traditionally liberal politics within the conservative state. Perhaps they'll start calling it the pea floating in Guinness -- the only oil-colored drink I can think of just now.)

Why Austin? According to SustainLane, much of it has to do with the city's Clean Energy Incubator (CEI), which was formed back in 1999 by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) in an effort to increase the speed of bringing clean-energy technology to market. Working with utility Austin Energy, the CEI is developing efforts like Internet-controlled irrigation and wind and geothermal energy technologies.

Not surprisingly, three regions in California -- reputed home to technology titans and tree-huggers alike -- were next on the list. San Jose was second, Berkeley was third, and Pasadena, fourth.

San Jose earned its distinction for its "long-time leadership in engineering know-how, combined with semi-conductor, nanotechnology and optics R&D, [which give] it a leg up in renewable energy development, particularly in solar energy applications."

Groovy, funky Berkeley achieved third place in part because it announced a $500 million center for biofuels and energy research last January. Most of its funding is coming from British Petroleum (BP).

Caltech -- which spawns clean-tech startups -- and non-profit Entretec -- which helps to manage their resources and hook the companies up with investors -- deserve some credit for Pasadena's No. 4 placement.

Last on the SustainLane list was the Greater Boston area. According to SustainLane, the region, with its ample supply of eager angel investors, is luring many a clean-tech startup, as well as drawing from Cambridge and MIT.

Omega 5 oil company is ready for the financial market

Who Needs a Business Plan

POMEGA LLC, a company operating in the biowellness sphere, like many nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals ventures is now being courted by greentech investors.

The question has come up whether one needs business plan.

This is what common sense dictates:

You need a business plan if you’re running a business. A business plan is like a map and a compass for a business. Without it you’re traveling blind. With a plan you set objectives, establish priorities, and provide for cash flow.

You need a business plan if you’re applying for a business loan. Most banks require it, and even those that don’t strictly require it expect it. They expect it to be a summary of the business, with some predictable key points.

You need a business plan if you’re looking for business investment. The plan won’t get you the investment, but not having a plan will mean you won’t get investment. Investors require a business plan. They invest in the people, the idea, the track records, the market, the technology, and other factors; but they look to the business plan to define and explain the business. You need a business plan if you’re working with partners. The business plan defines agreements between partners about what’s going to happen.

You need a business plan to communicate with a management team. The day-to-day business routine is distracting, problems come up, opportunities appear, and commitments should be followed and tracked. How do you know where you are in business without establishing where you started and where you intended to go? How can people commit to a plan they can’t see? You need a business plan to sell a business, or to set a value on a business for tax or other purposes such as estate planning, or divorce.

Sadly, many of the people who need a plan don’t know they need it. They get trapped by the myths of business planning. They don’t realize that plans are not just for start-ups, loans, or investment. They don’t realize that business plans are easier to develop than most people think To succeed in business you simply must plan the steps, set priorities, allocate resources, and manage the cash. Sure, some people say they don’t plan, but if they’re successful then they’re actually always planning in their heads. And you can keep that plan in your head if your business is very simple, cash flow is always adequate, and you don’t work with other people, and you don’t need to communicate your business plan with other people either.

Don't accept disadvantages in business. Don't try to run without a plan. Doing a plan is probably much easier than you think, and much more valuable.

Omega 5 oil companies soon to capture the attention of wellness related venture capital

The greening of the VC industry -- finally the focus shifts to Omega 5 oil companies

The average venture capitalist and the typical consumer of wellness products have much in common. Each is likely to be a graying Baby Boomer with high disposable income and little tolerance for the inconveniences of growing old. But despite the common wisdom that VCs fund sectors they know best, businesses tied to healthy living historically haven’t been big recipients of capital.

That is now starting to change, as VCs realize that Baby Boomers like themselves are big business. They’re funding all sorts of nontraditional ventures that tap into health-conscious Boomers’ pocketbooks, including a chain of yoga studios, a maker tortilla chips that help reduce cholesterol, and a company focused on brain health.

“We call it life science meets lifestyle,” says William Rosenzweig, managing director of Physic Ventures, a wellness-centered VC fund, and CEO of Brand New Brands, a food product incubator. Rosenzweig, who co-founded specialty tea purveyor Republic of Tea in the early 1990s, has since become the closest thing the industry has to a poster boy for wellness investing. In the past two years, Brand New Brands has introduced four product lines: a sleep-inducing beverage, a high-fiber shake, chips (the edible variety) that promote heart health, and snack bars that double as digestive aids.

It’s difficult to gauge how much venture money is going into wellness, as it crisscrosses traditional investment categories such as medical devices, consumer products, and, in some cases, biotechnology. On a deal-by-deal basis, however, wellness-themed investments crop up with frequency, with a few smaller funds such as Physic, St. Louis-based Prolog Ventures and Sherbrooke Capital Partners, devoting a big chunk of their portfolio to such deals.

Big funds such as Highland Capital Partners and Oak Investment Partners are also branching out into the healthy living area. Recent Highland investments include yoga studio chain Whole Body, wellness retailer Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, and yoga clothing maker Lululemon (which is in registration for an IPO). Oak, along with Radar Partners, participated in a $25 million Series A in June for New Sun Nutrition Inc., which makes and distributes healthy beverages and nutritional supplements

POMEGA produces the POMEGA5 products.

Omega 5 oil that is used by POMEGA5 is subject to a patent application

An Antioxidnat powerhouse

[0001]The present application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/792,763, filed Apr. 18, 2006, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Free radicals are atoms or molecules with open negative charges that are capable of damaging the human body. Free radicals are produced by dietary imbalances, pollutants, or from inflammation and biochemical reactions in the body that can increase the probability of viral or bacterial infections or cancer. [0003]Long-term presence of these oxidizing radicals can eventually be detrimental to the human body. Oxidative stress is also thought to play an important role in numerous chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease and cancer. Although there are many factors in the development of these diseases, considerable experimental evidence has linked the production of free radicals to biologic damage that can provide a basis for the beginning and progression of certain diseases. When free radicals exceed the body's capacity to protect or repair itself, oxidative damage can occur. [0004]Antioxidants, which reduce oxidative stress, may play a role in the prevention or treatment of many diseases. The accumulation and growth of free radicals in the body are often found in association with a suppressed immune system, including infections such as HIV, SARS, cancer and heart disease. Damage to the heart has been shown to be reduced with increased dietary antioxidant intake. Diets high in added antioxidants have been shown to be protective against cancer and various diseases experimentally. [0005]Plant seed oils that can be extracted from the fruit, leaves, or seeds of various plants have been found to be a source of antioxidants. However, over-the-counter plant oils, such as canola, sesame, flax and sunflower, have low antioxidant values when compared to this invention. In addition to traditional antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, some plant oils contain phenolic compounds which are excellent free radical scavengers due to their electron structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006]Combinations of cold pressed plant seed oils chosen from the group comprising black cumin, black raspberry, red raspberry, pomegranate, pumpkin, flax, sesame and chardonnay grape, when blended, provide synergistic super antioxidant values expressed in Trolox equivalents significantly greater than weighted arithmetic average values of the blends. [0007]Synergistic super antioxidant plant seed oil blends may be orally taken to reduce free radicals in the body. [0008]Synergistic super antioxidant plant seed oil blends are believed to prevent diseases, cure diseases and prolong life and slow the aging process.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009]FIG. 1 is a graph showing the ORAC values of many single and blended botanic oils. DETAILED SPECIFICATION [0010]Cold pressed oils, when extracted at temperatures below 100.degree. F. and when extracted in an oxygen deprived environment, yield excellent quality oils compared to traditional high temperature extraction methods. When using cold pressing, nothing is added to the seed or to the oil. The oils are potent, pure and unadulterated. [0011]Without solvents, bleaching agents or high temperatures, these botanical seeds release their nutrient-dense oil containing a diverse array of nutrients including Omega 3 essential fatty acids and potent antioxidants. Oils produced by this cold press process may accelerate the activity of the immune system, and thus could moderate the aging process. [0012]Other methods of extraction include use of heat, solvents and enzymes. These methods typically alter, damage or destroy some or all the antioxidants in the natural oils. Super critical carbon dioxide extraction method is known to produce a high quality oil comparable to cold pressing but is a more expensive process than cold pressing. [0013]ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) values represent the total antioxidant measurement of these oils, individually and blended, and demonstrate the potency created by the cold press process. Lab data (FIG. 1: graft) created by applicants at the University illustrate this. [0014]FIG. 1 shows a chart of antioxidant values of the cold pressed oils using a Photochem.RTM. analyzer by Analytik Jena A.G. of Jena, Germany measuring instrument. The instrument is able to measure antioxidant values expressed in Trolox Equivalents of Vitamin E per Liter (TE/VE/L) in different botanical oils. [0015]Typical antioxidant values for common food vegetable oils such as flax oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and grape seed oil are 2.38 TE/VE/L, 3.96, 2.01 and 2.32 respectively. [0016]Potent antioxidant botanical oils, however, such as black raspberry seed oil and black cumin oil have values 19.78 TE/VE/L and 21.02 respectively, a factor of 9 to 10 times greater than common vegetable oils. Other known potent antioxidant seed oils are red raspberry, sea berry, cranberry, mullein and black berry, to mention a few. [0017]This invention is a method of creating a composition of botanic oils causing synergy and resulting in super potent antioxidant levels even greater than 9 to 10 times that of common vegetable oils. Combining black cumin oil with other oils causes an unexpected outcome resulting in an antioxidant level that is greater than the sum of the weighted average of the antioxidant level of the individual component oils. Applicants believe black cumin seed oil chelates other botanic oils to release antioxidant bonds to transition metals and releases more antioxidants. [0018]For example, when black cumin oil (21.02 TE/VE/L) is blended with the grape seed oil (2.32 TE/VE/L) in a 50:50 ratio, the arithmetic average of antioxidant value of the composition is 11.67 TE/VE/L. However, the Photochem.RTM. instrument analysis demonstrates a phenomena of synergy whereby the actual antioxidant value of this combination of black cumin oil and grape seed oil in a 50:50 ratio is 24.85 TE/VE/L. Other examples of synergistic compositions as shown in the FIG. 1 chart are: TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Synergistic Arithmetic value Actual Value Compositions of 50:50 ratio TE/VE/L TE/VE/L Black Cumin/Black Raspberry Seed Oil 20.4 25.90 Black Cumin/Red Raspberry Seed Oil 16.82 28.57 Black Cumin/Pomegranate Seed Oil 16.96 22.15 Black Cumin/Pumpkin Seed Oil 12.22 22.98 Black Cumin/Sesame Seed Oil 11.67 20.22 Black Cumin/Grape Seed Oil 11.67 24.85 Black Cumin/Flax Seed Oil 12.19 22.00 [0019]Even greater synergistic antioxidant levels can be created through blends or compositions of more than two oils. Multi-blend compositions of four or five oils have the following values as illustrated in the FIG. 1 chart: TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Weighted Average Synergistic of Composition Actual Value Blend #1-1 Black Cumin(37.5%) Grape(37.5%) 11.3 34.7 Black Raspberry(5%) Pumpkin(10%) Red Raspberry(10%) Blend #1-2 Black Cumin(65%) Grape(20%) 15.6 45 Black Raspberry(5%) Pumpkin(10%) Blend #1-3 Black Cumin(65%) Grape(7.5%) 16.3 37 Black Raspberry(5%) Pumpkin(15%) Red Raspberry(7.5%) [0020]Used properly, these oils and others produced by the cold press method should be advantageous in the support of the immune system and in certain problems where inflammation occurs. Recent laboratory observations (FIG. 1 chart) have demonstrated synergism with a number of oils by markedly increasing the measured antioxidant capacity especially when black cumin oil, for example, is paired with several oils. The antioxidant levels are increased over the expected weighted average. Also, when more than two oils are added to the black cumin natural processed oil, an even higher antioxidant level occurs than would be expected--again by the weighted average. These super concentrated antioxidants can prevent many diseases and aging processes from progressing. [0021]Multiple antioxidants are better than single antioxidants--an observation known. However, synergy has been created and demonstrated by applicants and proven in their lab results (FIG. 1 chart). The "timing" of the immune system and neutralization of free radicals by this important observation producing higher concentrations of well recognized nutrients may help moderate the aging process, accelerate modulation of the immune system and thus affect a number of diseases produced by gradual increase in free radicals. [0022]It is important to also recognize the overall value of black cumin oil in this process. This oil contains thymoquinone, has been shown to stimulate the production of prostaglandins E1, the modulator of the immune T cell response. Black raspberry oil also modulates the immune response by increasing T8 and NK cells in a colon cancer model at the University of Minnesota (see co-owned U.S. Published Patent Application 2005/0244375). What also is important to recognize is that the oils sold over the counter, such as canola, sesame seed, flax, and sunflower, have low antioxidant values when compared to the cold press oils with synergism. Clinical trials are underway to evaluate these observations. [0023]Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety to the extent allowed by applicable law and regulations. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. [0024]The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it is therefore desired that the present embodiment be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention. 20070243310

New patent law rules can affect biowellness companies such as POMEGA5

New Patent Prosecution Rules Effective November 1, 2007

On August 21, 2007, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published new rules governing the prosecution of patent applications in an attempt to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patent examination. These rules, which are effective as of November 1, 2007, will (1) limit the number of continuing applications and requests for continued examination permitted by right during prosecution, (2) limit the number of claims allowed in a patent application, and (3) add new reporting requirements for applicants with multiple commonly owned pending applications or patents.

1. The Two Plus One Rule: New Limits to the Number of Continuation Applications and Requests for Continued Examination in an Application Family

The new rules limit the number of continuing applications and requests for continued examination (RCEs) that an applicant can file. If you routinely use continuations and RCEs to extend prosecution, you may have to adjust your prosecution strategy.

Under the new rules, a patent application or chain of applications is allowed by right a total of two continuation and/or continuation-in-part (CIP) applications and one RCE. For CIP applications, the rules require the applicant to identify the claims in the CIP that are entitled to the parent application's filing date (those claims that would be supported by the specification of the original application). However, a divisional application (an application for a patently distinct invention filed in response to a restriction requirement) starts its own chain, and is also allowed two continuation applications and an RCE. CIPs of divisional applications are not allowed.

For clients who have a currently pending chain of applications that already exceeds the "two plus one" rule, the USPTO has promulgated a "one more kick at the can" rule. If the number of pre-August 21 continuation or CIP applications already equals or exceeds two, a chain is allowed one additional continuation or CIP filing after August 21. However, if the pending chain already contains an RCE, then no more RCEs will be allowed by right.

Although further prosecution is no longer a matter of right, an applicant may petition for additional continuations, CIPs, and RCEs beyond the "two plus one" rule. For additional RCEs and continuation applications, applicants must submit (1) a fee and a petition, (2) an amendment, argument, or evidence in support of the additional application (an IDS alone cannot support an additional application), and (3) a showing that the amendment, argument, or evidence sought to be entered could not have been submitted prior to the close of prosecution in the application. Although such petitions will be considered, the USPTO warns that after the rules change, applicants "should not rely on the availability of additional continuing applications or RCEs" in prosecuting applications.

2. The 5/25 Claim Rule: New Limits to the Number of Claims Examined

Under the new rules, the USPTO has limited the number of claims that an applicant may present in a patent application without providing supporting documents to the examiner. This new rule will be of most interest to our biotechnology clients and others who typically file patent applications having a large number of claims.

Without supporting documents, an applicant may not present more than five independent claims and 25 total claims for a single invention. The claim count will not include withdrawn, non-elected, and cancelled claims. However, the claim count will include all claims from co-owned applications claiming the same invention. Thus, it will not be possible to circumvent this rule by preparing multiple applications for a single invention that have more than the permitted number of claims when combined.

However, an applicant may present more than five independent claims and 25 total claims if an examination support document (ESD) is prepared. An ESD requires the applicant to perform a global patent and prior art literature search, and to submit detailed information about the closest prior art to the invention, along with an analysis as to why the claims are patentable over the cited references. Because we anticipate that the preparation of an acceptable ESD will be extremely difficult and expensive, our attorneys will help you to decide which prosecution strategy will best suit your needs.

3. New Reporting Requirement for Owners of Multiple Patent Applications

If you recently applied for two or more patents (e.g., non-provisional Patent Applications "A" and "B"), you may be subject to a new reporting requirement by the USPTO. This reporting requirement will apply to your Patent Application "A" if the following five (5) things are true:

1. Patent Application "A" hasn't received an Office action from the assigned US Patent Examiner;
2. Patent Application "A" names one inventor also named in Patent Application "B";
3. Patent Application "B" is either still pending or already issued as a US Patent;
4. Patent Applications "A" and "B" are owned by the same person/company or are subject to an obligation of assignment to the same person/company; and
5. Patent Applications "A" and "B" were either filed on the same date prior to November 1, 2007, or were filed on or after November 1, 2007, and can both claim priority to calendar dates that are within two months of each other.

Thus, for each Patent Application "A" which has not been examined, you must report each non-provisional Patent Application "B" that has (i) a common inventor, (ii) a common owner, and (iii) a filing or priority date within two months of a filing or priority date of Patent Application "A".
Your report for each Patent Application "A" must be filed in the USPTO before February 1, 2008.

To prevent evasion of the "Two Plus One" and "5/25 Claim" Rules, discussed above, the USPTO has added an additional requirement. If Patent Applications "A" and "B" have the same filing or priority date and disclose substantially overlapping subject matter, then you will be required to explain how the claims in Patent Applications "A" and "B" are patently distinct. If the claims are not patentably distinct, then you must submit a terminal disclaimer with reasons why the claims are not in the same application. If your explanation is not accepted, the USPTO may require you to eliminate patentably indistinct claims from all but one of these applications. This elimination will, in effect, limit your total claims to 25 and your continuation applications to the two plus one rule, as discussed above.

Omega 5 oil companies such as POMEGA LLC might be affected.

Can Omega 5 oil beat cellulite?

Omega 5 oil has been recommended by Woman's World as a natural anti cellulite agent, and in particular, this all natural product:

the healing cream by POMEGA.

by Dr CJ Gupta

Everyone is plagued by cellulite, even the super skinny and sleek. Unfortunately, we are unable to control where fat deposits settle on our bodies. Nevertheless, those pesky fat deposits and globs of cottage cheese send us into an endless frenzy to discover the next best quick fix solution to our cellulite and fat pocket woes.But is there a solution beyond good old fashioned aerobic and anaerobic exercise and nutrition?

Is there a miracle in a jar? Or should you throw in the towel, pick up the phone, and contact your nearest cosmetic surgeon for an expensive, invasive, and potentially health hazardous tummy tuck, laser treatment, or liposuction procedure?

Before you throw in the towel or go under the knife…or even purchase some elaborate, synthetic beauty product filled with acids and chemicals, try melting away inches of fat, smoothing fat deposits, and reducing inches by using natural products.

Sea Clay

Sea Clay is extremely effective in removing cellulite deposits and burning fat, but more importantly it has the ability to detoxify the body of impurities and cleanse the skin. In spas and salons, sea clay is often used in body wraps. It is considered a cellulite and water retention miracle. Further, it is an all natural, quick fix slimming solution that can remove sometimes 1-6 inches of body fat in one go around. So why hasn't everyone jumped onto it? Body wraps are expensive and take up hours of time. If you can't shell out the $100+ dollars for a body wrap and would rather not be naked in front of a stranger, you can actually perform your own sea clay body wrap at home with Beauty 4 Ashes Christian Health & Beauty's Home Organix ™Sea Clay & Oolong Tea Body Transformation System. In the system, you get everything you need to perform your own body wrap in the privacy of your home –thermal clay, essential oil packed mixing solutions, and oolong tea-- and you can set how long you keep the wrap on. The system also allows you to mix the sea clay with oolong tea, which research indicates actually burns fat, increase metabolism, reduces wrinkles, and firms the body. It is a good option, works great, and can be used repeatedly. You should be able to get 2-3 uses out of the system. The all natural system will run you about $80.00 and can be found online at wwwdiscoverb4acom.If you are not up for a home or spa body wrap, there are additional products and treatments, some natural and others not, that available to reduce the appearance of cellulite, improve skin tone, and shave inches. Here's a review of some of the treatments available.Ionithermie

Body Treatments

Ionithermie, available in Britain, is an ideal treatment for those people who have lost weight but still need to tone and firm. The treatment includes a body scrub and pressure point massage; and thermal clay, essential oils and pads, which emit rhythmic electrical pulses. Ionithermie works the areas through the gentle action of a combination of faradic and galvanic stimuli, using the thermal clay and biologically active natural ingredients.This treatment, it is claimed, promotes inch loss, reduces fat and firms and tones the body. It will run you about $100 for one treatment.

Natural Cellulite Products

All natural cellulite products are reasonably inexpensive and give pretty good results. They are ideal for anyone who simply wants more supple, smooth, toned, and less dimply skin. The products include lime essential, lemon essential, and fennel essential, clinically researched and effective essential oils that reduce cellulite and firm the skin. The products also contain many other biologically active and natural skin toning and smoothing ingredients. The products can include a Peanut Butter No Jelly Cellulite Scrub and Peanut Butter No Jelly Cellulite Butter, which many who have used claim tones, smoothes, and firms the skin within a matter of weeks. These are also available online at www.pomega5.com.

New proposed FDA rules will apply to Omega 5 oil gel caps

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING


The FDA published the “Draft Guidance for Industry: Questions and Answers Regarding Adverse Event Reporting and Recordkeeping for Dietary Supplements as Required by the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act” for comment on Oct. 15.

The guidance provides industry with five minimum data elements for a reportable event: identifiable injured person, identifiable initial reporter, identity and contact information for the responsible person (i.e., the manufacturer, packer, or distributor submitting the serious AER to FDA), a suspect dietary supplement and a serious adverse event or fatal outcome. Included in this requirement is at least one way of contacting for follow-up the initial person reporting the event. The 15 business day time clock does not start until all five elements have been collected. Additionally, FDA “encourages responsible persons to use trained health care practitioners to elicit information from reporters.” There is still debate as to whether the language of the act requires firms have healthcare professionals to make “reasonable medical judgment” when collecting reports. Also notable, FDA says if a report involves multiple supplements from more than one responsible person, the first manufacturer should send a copy of the form to the other manufacturer(s). The additional manufacturers do not need to submit a separate report unless a manufacturer has information about the serious adverse event.
