Avoid Regrets after BPH Removal Procedures by Treating Prostate with New Natural Therapy Highlights Fine Treatment

August 11, 2012     No comments


London, UK (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

After prostate removal procedures, one or more complications may occur – a reason for regrets of accepting a surgery; however it cannot be the case with the new Thermobalancing therapy as it is natural and harmless, Fine Treatment reveals. Dr. Allen?s device for prostate care has been registered with the MHRA, the UK medical devices regulatory authority, as Class 1 Medical Device since April 2010 and has proven its efficacy.

An article titled “Regrets After Prostate Surgery” by Tara Parker-Pope in The New York Times blogs states, ?One in five men who undergoes prostate surgery to treat cancer later regrets the decision, a new study shows. And surprisingly, regret is highest among men who opt for robotic prostatectomy, a minimally invasive surgery that is growing in popularity as a treatment.?

Any surgery is risky so men should try to use any opportunity to avoid it. Some men can tolerate very uncomfortable sensations of abnormal urination while other men seek relief from mild symptoms. It is very important not to panic and use the safest BPH treatment option that can protect men from health problems associated with prostate removal.

?The Thermobalancing Therapy is a safe natural modality invented by Dr. Simon Allen which can be used for the treatment of BPH at home and without any adverse effects,? says Dr. Awad from Tanta University Hospitals, Egypt. ?I think that this natural option for the treatment of enlarged prostate should be taken seriously and I am confident while recommending it to my patients.?

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), prostate surgery risks are the same as with any surgery: breathing problem, infection, heart attack or stroke during surgery, reactions to medications; and there are also future complications, such as problems with urine control (incontinence) and erection problems (impotence).

Dr. Allen?s device can help to save the prostate. As reported by the Oxford Innovation Centre, for instance, it can reverse prostate enlargement; watch a short video here: ttp://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFy_jZgCLw.

?Men can avoid regrets after prostate removal procedures by opting for the Thermobalancing Therapy instead of a surgery,? says Dr. Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device should be applied as soon as BPH is diagnosed to help to protect the prostate from removal.?

Robert Pattinson Quits Smoking, Replaces Cigarettes with Toothpicks; Solar Cigarette Advises the Use of Electronic Cigarette Instead

August 10, 2012     No comments


Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

Robert Pattinson is one of the celebrity smokers who recently decided to turn away from cigarettes. And according to hollywoodlife.com, he has been chewing toothpicks to keep himself from puffing cancer sticks. Solar Cigarette commends the actor for taking steps to quit his habit. However, for those who can’t just give up smoking completely, the company suggests the use of electronic cigarette.

Reportedly, the Twilight lead actor’s decision to give up smoking led to his fans gifting him thousands of toothpicks. After noticing the actor chewing a toothpick in Cannes, the report related that his followers then started giving him huge amounts of toothpicks the next day.

But while SolarCigarette admires the 26-year-old’s effort to keep away from cigarettes, it said that the actor’s substitute may not work for others. And to those others, the company recommends the use of its electronic cigarette instead.

Learn More About Solar Cigarette

Electric cigarette, even as an alternative, delivers the same smoking sensation that a cigarette can give. However, it does so in a safer process. Basically, that’s because it only heats up liquid nicotine to work. And in the absence of tobacco and the burning of it, no smoke full of carcinogen is released. That saves both smokers and non-smokers from the many health risks that go with real cigarettes.

To name some of the health risks, tobacco in real cigarettes can cause cancer of many types. The most common of those types are lung cancer and throat cancer. In addition, it can also cause cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as stroke and asthma.

With the use of the company’s ecig bearing the same Solar Cigarette name, smokers who want to completely quit the habit can do so at their own pace. The reason is that the device hands in the control over the amount of nicotine taken to the user. That means withdrawal from nicotine is not as hard as smokers can do it slowly but surely.

Discover All the Benefits Solar Cigarette Has to Offer

Moreover, the device also offers aid in losing weight. And basically, that benefit is what sets it above the others. It’s also one of the major reasons why celebrities love to use it.

Nonetheless, Solar Cigarette knows that health is much more important than anything. And so, to make the use of its electronic cigarette more beneficial to the users’ health, the company recently added youth-phoric cartridges to its product list.

Particularly, the company added four classifications of its new cartridges offering a more enjoyable and more beneficial smoking experience. Of all those cartridges though, it highly recommends its Ginseng Cartridge Pack to all smoking moms. As the company stated, it is one of its most beneficial flavors offering help in reducing stress, boosting energy, enhancing memory and stimulating the immune system.

New Prostate Therapy Is Safe for BPH as It Is Side Effects Free Highlights Fine Treatment

August 09, 2012     No comments


London, UK (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

Dr. Allen?s device for prostate care enables a new therapy that treats prostate enlargement safely, contrary to different BPH medications, Fine Treatment reveals. The device is registered with the MHRA, the UK medical devices regulatory authority, since April 2010 as Class 1 Medical Device. This device can be used at home without resorting to medications or prostate removal procedures.

?Patients, who have used or are using Dr. Allen device, tell that it is very easy to wear it. It is a unique feature that the device can work constantly for 24 hours a day,? says Dr. Mohamed S. Awad in his recent article New Therapy for Enlarged Prostate. ?The device provides a perfect environment for blood to circulate through tiny capillaries in the affected prostate tissues thus reducing the pressure, congestions and swelling associated with BPH.?????

Unlike this new therapy, BPH drugs are risky as sexual problems may follow and common surgeries can develop irreversible health problems. On the other side, the new Thermobalancing Therapy can reverse prostate enlargement. Please watch the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM.

The American Urological Association (AUA) states that men have to take drugs, like (Proscar and Propecia) finasteride or dutasteride, for 6 to 12 months to achieve a lower urinary tract symptoms relief, and these medications can cause sexual side effects, including ejaculatory abnormalities and erectile dysfunction. Other commonly used medications, such as (Flomax) Tamsulosin and Alfuzosin, should be taken for years and can develop dizziness upon standing, vertigo and ejaculation disorders. Regarding a prostate surgery the AUA explains that erectile dysfunction occurs because the nerves that stimulate the penis for an erection sit near the prostate and can be easily damaged.

?Men?s well-being can now be protected from unnecessary issues by trying out the Thermobalancing Therapy,? says Dr. Simon Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device is easy to use at home without resorting to potentially harmful BPH drugs and prostate removal procedures.?

Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device improves the blood flow inside the prostate at the capillary level. Read more at http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/prostatetreatmentbph/prostatitistreatment.html.

Mount Sinai Brings Benefit of Robotic Surgery to Sleep Apnea Sufferers

August 08, 2012     No comments

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2012

The Center for Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center?a pioneer in robotic surgery?now offers the procedure to patients with sleep apnea, whose obstructive breathing prevents them from sleeping normally. Mount Sinai is one of only a few programs in the world to use transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to remove excess tissue or fix a collapsed airway that causes sleep apnea.

Through the robotic procedure, a laser removes the extra tissue in the throat that contributes to the airway obstruction in sleep apnea patients. Patients typically return home the next day, and are back to work in 10 days, sleeping and breathing normally.

During sleep apnea, a person?s breathing is blocked and then restored when the brain sends a signal that awakens the patient to a lighter level of sleep. This process can happen hundreds of times each night, leaving the patient exhausted during the day and at risk for many health complications, including cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

Many patients opt for a treatment called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), delivered through a mask that the patient wears at night to force his or her airway open for the duration of sleep. However, some feel the mask hinders their quality of life, and look for better options.

?Over time many patients grow frustrated with CPAP or stop using the device, causing their sleep apnea to return and leaving them anxious for a better solution,? said Fred Lin, MD, Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology and Director of the Mount Sinai Sleep Surgery Center. ?In the past, surgery had been a last resort. Now, using robotic surgery, we can remove the tissue that contributes to the airway blockage in a brief procedure with no external incisions and have patients home the next day, sleeping healthfully.?

During the robotic procedure, a surgeon sits at a console directly controlling a robotic arm that extends a small surgical instrument through the patient’s mouth. Using a high-powered 3-D camera, he or she has a clear view of the surgical field.

The previous surgical technique was less precise and potentially less effective because the surgeon was only able to use one hand, and had limited maneuverability.

?Mount Sinai is one of the original adopters of robotic surgery and we have seen first-hand the dramatic quality of life improvements it provides our head and neck cancer patients,? said Eric Genden, MD, Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine. ?This minimally invasive procedure has the potential to fundamentally change the treatment paradigm for people battling sleep apnea.?

BPH Can Be Reversed and Kidney Stones Dissolved Naturally with New Therapy that Cannot Be Achieved In Any Other Way Highlights Fine Treatment

August 07, 2012     No comments


London, UK (PRWEB) June 24, 2012

Fine Treatment recommends natural devices invented by Dr. Simon Allen, which have been registered with the MHRA since April 27, 2010 as Class 1 Medical Devices, for kidney stones disease and prostate enlargement as stand-alone therapy, while benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) drugs and prostate removal procedures, as well as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and kidney surgeries, may develop serious side effects and complications. New Thermobalancing Therapy treats the organ locally by improving the blood circulation which cleanses it from stones or unnecessary tissue.

According to the National Kidney & Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC), ?Complications may occur with ESWL. Sometimes, the shattered stone particles cause minor blockage as they pass through the urinary tract and cause discomfort. In some cases, the doctor will insert a small tube called a stent through the bladder into the ureter to help the fragments pass. Sometimes the stone is not completely shattered with one treatment, and additional treatments may be needed.?

Contrary to ESWL or any of kidney surgeries the Thermobalancing Therapy dissolves any type and size of kidney stone naturally, please watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOMUqHVrSfk.

?Natural recovery from kidney stones can be achieved with new therapy only,? says Dr. Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic devices help to terminate BPH progression and dissolve kidney stones, so people can stay away from potentially harmful conventional treatment options.?

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), ?because drug treatment is not effective in all cases, researchers in recent years have developed a number of procedures that relieve BPH symptoms but are less invasive than conventional surgery.? However the American Urological Association Foundation states, the erectile dysfunction following surgeries occurs because surgical procedutre may damage the nerves for erections.

?New Thermobalancing Therapy not only caters for your sexual life, it also helps prolonging it by increasing the blood supply of the whole region,? says Dr. Raza in the article Benign Prostatitis Hyperplasia posted to American Citizen Coverage Rights and Healthy Living Foundation site.

Dr. Allen?s Device for Prostate Treatment works all the hours while is worn. For details visit Fine Treatment at http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/prostatetreatmentbph/prostatitistreatment.html.

August 06, 2012     No comments


Portland, ME (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

The Wild Blueberry Association of North America has developed one of the world’s most comprehensive blueberry research resources for scientists, researchers and other professionals.

The Wild Blueberry Research Library (http://www.wildblueberries.com/researchdatabase) is an easy-to-use, searchable online database of blueberry health research, a subject that has grown rapidly as scientists learn more about the potential health benefits of this fruit. In the past 15 years, the number of studies published annually has grown from a handful to over 100.

?Wild Blueberries are one of the world’s most researched fruits, because the more researchers learn about Wild Blueberries and their potential health benefits, the more they want to know,? said Susan Davis, MS, RD, nutrition advisor to the Wild Blueberry Association of North America.

Research has established that Wild Blueberries deliver many potential benefits because of their uniquely broad mixture of phytonutrient compounds. In addition, they are an antioxidant leader, have a low glycemic index, are rich in nutrients, high in fiber, and are gluten free.

Active areas of blueberry or wild blueberry health research include brain health and cognitive function, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer and more.

?The Wild Blueberry Research Library catalogs this data in one place,? Davis noted. ?It’s a tremendous tool for researchers, educators, journalists, physicians and students.?

Studies in the Wild Blueberry Research Library are grouped into searchable research categories. Major categories include clinical trials, aging, antioxidants, brain health/cognition, cardiovascular/hypertension/stroke and phytochemical composition.

The Wild Blueberry Research Library made its debut at the recent Food for Your Whole Life? Health Symposium in New York before a gathering of leading nutritionists, researchers and health experts.

About the Wild Blueberry Association of North America (http://www.wildblueberries.com)

The Wild Blueberry Association of North America is a trade association of growers and processors of Wild Blueberries from Maine and Canada, dedicated to bringing the Wild Blueberry health story and unique Wild Advantages to consumers and the trade worldwide.
