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


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.

Prostate Medications May Develop Serious Side Effects As Per Outcomes Measurement Data While Natural Thermobalancing Therapy Is Harmless States Fine Treatment


London, UK (PRWEB) July 24, 2012

Men are likely to develop side effects while treating chronic prostatitis or enlarged prostate with long-term intake of antibiotics and medications, whereas the course of a new therapy with Dr. Allen?s device is totally harmless as it improves the blood circulation inside the prostate naturally, Fine Treatment reveals. Moreover, Dr. Allen?s Device for Prostate Care is able to treat chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) up to full recovery.

Successful patients’ case studies confirm that Dr. Allen?s device provides exceptional prostate treatment. For instance, Sampath, 50, from India was trying to ease the symptoms of chronic prostatitis — such as high frequency of urination, burning sensation with discomfort while passing urine and the resultant erectile dysfunction — with pills and other treatment options unsuccessfully for 4 years. After 3-months of using Dr. Allen?s device, most of the symptoms were reduced by about 90%, and after following 2 months the prostatitis disorder was solved.

Another user of Dr. Allen?s device, Timo, 38, from Finland used to suffer from chronic prostatitis for quite a long time with front side pains and painful peeing urgency a few times a day. ?I am depressed because no medication helps?, wrote Timo before starting to wear the device. After 5 months of its use, he has stated: ?Not a problem with the prostate condition at a moment, since June, so I am not wearing the device any longer?.

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.? Any surgical procedure, however, even a less invasive one, is highly likely to cause a number of undesirable side effects. So, Fine Treatment recommends resorting to any surgery only in critical situations. In other instances, the use of Dr. Allen?s natural device can be highly beneficial. Please watch a short video about its benefits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a48bbQJQsdE.

?New Thermobalancing Therapy is a unique option for prostate treatment which improves the condition of the prostate gland with outstanding results,? says Dr. Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device is effective for exclusively prostate conditions, such as chronic prostatitis and BPH, as it treats the prostate locally.?

Dr. Allen?s Device for Prostate Care is easy to use. Read more at http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/prostatetreatmentbph/prostatitistreatment.html.

No Side Effects Therapy Dissolves Kidney Stones and Treats BPH States Fine Treatment


London, UK (PRWEB) July 14, 2012

Dr. Allen?s therapeutic devices dissolve kidney stones without any damage to kidneys and help to terminate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progression without resorting to medications and prostate removal procedures, Fine Treatment reveals. Conventional treatments for kidney stones, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and kidney surgery, as well as prostate enlargement treatments with BPH drugs and removal procedures, cause various side effects, some of which can be severe. It is unacceptable nowadays when new devices can treat these disturbing health conditions naturally and painlessly.

Dr. Allen?s Device for Kidney Care places thermo-elements to the back area reaching both kidneys and dissolving kidney stones in both kidneys. You can watch a short video on now this device has dissolved a very large kidney stone as a stand-alone treatment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOMUqHVrSfk.

According to the National Institutes of Health, ?complications after lithotripsy are as follows: bleeding around, which may need a blood transfusion; pieces of the stone block urine flow from kidney (this may cause severe pain or damage to kidney); pieces of stone are left in the body; kidneys may not work as well, or they may stop working, after the procedure and some others.? Dr Allen’s device does not subject its users to any of these nightmarish side effects from ESWL.

Regarding BPH drugs, a Health Day Reporter S. Reinberg (US News) reviewed existing studies in March 2011 and warned the readers: the use of enlarged prostate medications dutasteride (Avodart) and finasteride (Proscar and Propecia) were linked to erectile dysfunction, depression and loss of libido.

Unlike mainstream BPH treatments, Dr. Allen?s device for Prostate Care treats the organ by maintaining constant temperature in the prostate tissue locally ultimately improving blood circulation in the prostate. This process cleanses the prostate gland from unnecessary tissue, consequently, reversing prostate enlargement.

?The Thermobalancing therapy dissolves renal calculi and reverses BPH progression by improving blood circulation locally that cleanses both organs from unnecessary substances, namely kidney stones and overgrown prostate tissue,? says Dr. Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic devices work all the time while they are applied to the body, slowly but steadily dissolving kidney stones and terminating the prostate enlargement progression without side effects.?

Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reports On New Study Concerning Actos Side Effects


New York, New York (PRWEB) June 14, 2012

Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a New York law firm nationally recognized for its consumer protection and mass tort practices, reports on a June 11, 2012 study that found that diabetes medications such as Actos may cause a serious eye problem called diabetic macular edema.* The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, found that patients who took Actos or other thiazolidinedione drugs had a two to three fold increased risk of developing diabetic macular edema, a condition that can lead to blindness. Researchers collected data on more than 100,000 people with type 2 diabetes from the British Health Improvement Network database. After one year, 1.3 percent of patients taking thiazolidinedione developed the eye problem, compared to 0.2 percent of patients who did not take the drugs. Macular edema is a swelling of the part of the eye responsible for sharp vision when looking straight ahead. The swelling occurs when fluid leaks into the center of the macula and blurs vision.

Lead researcher Dr. Iskandar Idris, an associate professor in diabetes medicine at the University of Nottingham, told HealthDay: ?More aggressive management of risk factors for macular edema should be implemented in patients who take thiazolidinedione. In addition, routine screening for visual acuity should be performed during routine diabetes review, especially for patients who take thiazolidinediones.?** Drugs in this category include Avandia and Actos.

Other Actos Side Effects Include Bladder Cancer

This latest study adds to prior concerns about other Actos side effects, such as an increased risk of developing bladder cancer. A May 31, 2012 study published in the British Medical Journal found that patients who took Actos had an 83 percent increased rate of developing bladder cancer, which increased to 88 percent for those who took Actos for two years or longer?or those who consumed 28,000 milligrams or more.*** In May 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (?FDA?) published a study, which concluded that there is a link between Actos and bladder cancer; the FDA added a warning label to alert users about Actos side effects.**** While Actos is still available in the United States, it has been recalled in both Germany and France.

The lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are evaluating potential lawsuits against the drug manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, on behalf of individuals who experienced Actos side effects such as bladder cancer and diabetic macular edema. Those who experienced Actos side effects may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other injuries.

Side Effects Free Thermobalancing Therapy Helps to Avoid Prostate Removal Procedures and Save Money States Fine Treatment


London, UK (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

New Thermobalancing Therapy for prostate enlargement has demonstrated high effectiveness even though no BPH drugs or prostate removal procedures are involved, Fine Treatment reveals. Contrary to potentially harmful surgeries, this natural therapy helps to treat prostate gland locally improving the condition of the affected tissue and terminating prostate enlargement.

Moreover, with the price under $ 150, Dr Allen?s therapeutic device is now the most cost-effective product for prostate treatment. In comparison, according to Modern Medicine, the cost of radical prostatectomy averaged $ 8,130, while Medical Tourism reports the average cost of a TURP procedure in the USA is between $ 5,000 and $ 6,000, and doesn?t include the fees of the urologist or anesthesiologist.

Different prostate removal procedures are widely on offer. Any of them removes or destroys at least a part or the whole prostate gland. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), there are at least 5 of them, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP); transurethral incision (TUIP); or transurethral electrovaporization (TUVP) when an instrument delivers high-voltage electrical current to destroy prostate tissue, or laser therapy which is in fact not a therapy but a surgery.

New Thermobalancing Therapy is an essential treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as it is free from adverse side effects. Dr. Allen?s Device for Prostate Care, which provides the Thermobalancing Therapy, contains no battery or magnets; its key part, i.e. the thermo-element, consists of natural ingredients only. It works by creating optimal conditions for the capillaries in the affected area to be repairing it. It is recommended to start wearing the device as soon as a prostate problem has been diagnosed, as the treatment of the condition becomes more challenging over time. According to the MedicineNet.com, over time an enlarged prostate may block the urethra, making it hard to urinate. It may also cause dribbling after urination or a frequent urge to urinate, especially at night.

Fine Treatment offers a new approach to the treatment of BPH and encourages starting the Thermobalancing Therapy straightaway during the watchful stage of BPH helping to prevent a prostate surgery, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFy_jZgCLw.

?The active natural therapy offered by Fine Treatment gives men a chance to avoid prostate removal procedures?, says Dr. Allen. ?Men ought to start using Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device as soon as BPH has been diagnosed to avoid complications from conventional invasive treatments.?

Aviisha Medical Sponsors 1 mile, 5K, 10K Run on June 30, 2012 to Raise Awareness about the Harmful Effects of Sleep Apnea


Van Nuys, California (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

Aviisha Medical Institute, an industry leader in home sleep testing and treatment, will help sponsor the Long Beach Pajama Run to help raise funds and awareness for sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. The event, which features live music, a health and fitness expo, free fitness classes, and a 1 mile, 5K, and 10K run, will be held this Saturday, June 30th, in Long Beach, California.

?Aviisha has always been committed to raising awareness about sleep disorders like sleep apnea,? said Dr. Avi Ishaaya, Aviisha?s CEO. ?Events like these are a great way to educate people about the dangers and signs of sleep apnea.? Sleep apnea is a disease that afflicts 1 in every 5 Americans in mild form or worse, but roughly 85% of sufferers remain undiagnosed. Untreated sufferers experience daytime sleepiness, memory and concentration difficulties, and mood disturbances.

Worse yet, sleep apnea has been linked to a wide array of serious medical conditions. ?We now know that failing to treat sleep apnea can increase a patient?s risk for diseases such as stroke, diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, weight gain, and car accidents. And that?s only the tip of the iceberg,? noted Dr. Avi. In the past two months alone, sleep apnea has been linked to higher risk of cancer, silent strokes, depression, behavioral problems in children, childhood-onset diabetes, sexual dysfunction, memory problems, and even death. ?We?re seeing studies about the effects of sleep apnea and the benefits of treatment being published at a record pace.?

Aviisha is a pioneer in home sleep apnea care and the creator of the total sleep apnea solution. The company offers screening, home sleep testing, AutoPAP treatment, and long-term compliance management?everything a patient needs to address sleep apnea. With home testing, patients can get tested in the comfort and privacy of their home in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional sleep testing.

Aviisha will have free screening tools available at the Long Beach Pajama Run on Saturday and will be giving away gifts at its booth. Sleep technicians will also be on staff to answer questions about sleep apnea.

DoctorsHealthPress.com Supports Study Showing the Effects of Capsaicin on Reducing Belly Fat


Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 19, 2012

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is lending its support to a recent study showing the effects of capsaicin on reducing belly fat.

As reported in Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin on Thursday, May 17, 2012 (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/weight-loss-articles/the-spice-proven-to-help-you-drop-belly-fat), according recent study at Brigham and Women?s Hospital, researchers found that capsaicin ? best known to help treat arthritis when used in a cream on the skin ? could play a role in the future of weight management. The study is published in the May issue of ?Digestive Diseases and Sciences.?

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports that the study investigated two surgeries that could be used in place of bariatric surgery. ?Vagotomy? involves removing the vagus nerve, which transmits information between the gut and the brain.?Vagal deafferentation? also involves the vagus nerve, but rather than removing the nerve completely, surgeons use capsaicin to destroy only certain nerve fibers.

They found that vagotomy significantly reduced total body fat, as well as visceral abdominal fat. The latter is the dangerous layer of fat that pads the spaces between abdominal organs. Vagal deafferentation also reduced these fats, but to a lesser degree. However, according to the researchers, the reduction is still remarkable.

The reduced visceral fat is especially important. High visceral fat volume is a marker of obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes.

Between the two surgeries, vagal deafferentation is associated with fewer side effects.

The researchers note that more work needs to be done on whether these surgeries can be used on humans, and whether capsaicin could be applied directly to human vagal fibers. The study results, however, provide promise of what the future can hold.

As demand for surgeries that reduce weight and obesity – related diseases increases, procedures that can achieve success in a less invasive fashion will be more important.

Sexual Health Can Be Enhanced with Thermobalancing Therapy by Terminating Prostate Enlargement without Adverse Side Effects Highlights Fine Treatment


London, UK (PRWEB) June 10, 2012

Senior men need to be very careful with BPH drugs and different prostate removal procedures as they may develop erectile dysfunction (ED), while the new Thermobalancing Therapy helps to treat the prostate successfully without any side effects preventing possible complications, Fine Treatment reveals. Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device helps to prevent BPH-caused urine obstruction naturally, thus enhancing sexual activity. You can watch the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFy_jZgCLw on how a user of Dr Allen’s device has shrunk his hugely enlarged prostate. It shows that now there is no need for senior men to use unsafe medications and surgeries.

1 in 3 men age 75 to 95 remain sexually active, as shown in the USA Today article, which analyses a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine: ?Among sexually active men, 57% were satisfied with their sex life, and 43% wanted to have sex more often, according to the study, which followed men from 1996 to 2009. Among those not having sex, 40% said they simply weren’t interested.?

At the same time, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), any surgery may cause sexual problems. Moreover, prostate surgeries remove all or part of a man?s prostate as the enlarged prostate can cause urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction (ED). Regarding BPH drugs, Dr. Lowe states: ?Alpha blockers like Flomax, Uroxatral, Hytrin and Cardura relax muscle fibers in the bladder and prostate. Other drugs like Proscar and Avodart, called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, shrink the prostate over 9 to 18 months. Once the drugs are stopped, however, symptoms typically recur.?

So the main reason why BPH drugs and surgeries are inferior to the new Thermobalancing Therapy is that these treatments are potentially harmful with a high risk of complications. The American Urological Association warns that men taking BPH drugs can develop side effects with sexual function and ejaculation disorders.

?Fine Treatment offers an active natural therapy that gives men an opportunity to enhance their sexual health?, says Dr. Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device can prevent prostate removal procedures and medications intake, both of which may harm men’s sexual health.?

Atlanta LASIK Surgeon Recently Publishes the Dangerous Effects of Widely Used Acne Medication on the Eyes


Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 11, 2012

Recently after careful research and data compilation, Atlanta LASIK surgeon, Dr. Ashraf, published content about scientists in Israel discovering how patients who took the acne medication known as Accutane had a doubled chance of contracting eye diseases as compared to patients were not taking Accutane. Accutane is a potent medication that?s prescribed to individuals with severe acne. There is tons of controversy regarding the product?s safety due to the multitude of risk factors associated with long term use, such as birth defects, stunted growth, bowel disease and depression.

Based on Dr. Ashraf?s publication, a particular study was performed where 15,000 patients were split into 3 separate groups of patients: those who didn?t have acne and didn?t take Accutane, those who had acne and didn?t take Accutane and those who had acne and took Accutane. It was noted that the group of patients being treated with Accutane had an increased risk of developing conjunctivitis.

In accordance with this study, Dr. Ashraf states, ?Accutane can be an effective drug when it comes to treating acne. However, it has some severe side effects that patients need to be aware of that can lead to various eye infections.? When it comes to using Accutane, Dr. Ashraf recommends not wearing contact lenses because the medicine can dry the eyes out, which may lead to irritation. ?LASIK is dangerous while on this medication and not something I recommend,? Dr. Ashraf adds.

Dr. Ashraf is a board certified ophthalmologist who specializes in LASIK in Atlanta and Dubai. He has performed over 35,000 LASIK surgeries and continues to dedicate his time and energy to helping his patients meet their eye care needs. The Atlanta Vision Institute has advanced, state-of-the-art technology for LASIK, including the most advanced laser system available, Wavelight Allegretto. If you?re interested in learning more about eye care and LASIK surgery, call the Atlanta Vision Institute at 770-622-2488 or go online to http://www.atlanta2020.com.
