webmasterb@nationalvoicesite.com Americans washing hands more 2010-10-04 02:22:13 (GMT) (WiredPRNews.com - Press Releases) 09/13/2010 // US // TiffNews10 // News Desk Boston – A new study shows that Americans are washing their hands at a lot more these days. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), researchers found that people wash their hands after using public restrooms at significantly higher rates than seen in over a decade. As noted in the report, researchers observed restroom users in four large cities, and concluded that 85 percent of those who use public restrooms wash their hands after. Researchers from Harris Interactive observed the habits of over 6,000 adults at heavily frequented locations in Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco. The project findings were reportedly present on Monday at a conference of the American Society for Microbiology. Microbiologist Judy Daly of Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake led the project for the group and the American Cleaning Institute. Tummy Trouble? Try Eating Mud FitMentorMD reveals a little known, but centuries old, secret that maintains digestive health, both safely and effectively. Austin, TX, September 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Although it may seem bizarre to most readers, FitMentorMD.com recently highlighted the healing benefits of eating mud for digestion, clay to be exact. Clay, which is simply a special form of common mud, has been noted for centuries by many different cultures, to benefit gastrointestinal conditions such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, diverticulitis, food poisoning, ulcers and hemorrhoids. Although the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians all believed in the powers of Clay, the earliest recorded mention of clay as a healing remedy can be found in the ancient texts of Ayurvedic medicine, the healing tradition of India that originated approximately 5,000 years ago. In fact, one type of clay in particular, known as smectite, is prized by over 200 cultures around the world because of its healing properties. “It may seem a little strange,” says the Medical Director of FitMentorMD.com, “but there is a lot of science that shows that these cultures knew what they were talking about.” Smectite and other healing clays can help to improve and maintain the health of the gastrointestinal tract due to two equally important properties that such forms of clay possess. These properties are adsorption and absorption. Adsorption refers to the process by which clay attracts toxins within our bodies and causes them to stick to its surface. Absorption describes how, just like a paper towel absorbs water, clay absorbs some toxins that are removed by the adsorption. In these ways, a few simple types of clay can help with a long list of ailments, including allergies, anemia, arthritis, bad breath, chronic fatigue, gum disease, hay fever, headache, liver disease, menstrual problems, prostate problems and skin conditions. Its rich supply of diastases (enzymes) also enrich the blood’s oxygen supply and clear it of impurities which helps to protect the heart. But not all clay is the same. So FitMentorMD do not recommend members start chewing on their kid’s clay from school. At least not until they find out what kind it is.

Source: Individuals urged to clean out medicine cabinets Washington – The Drug Enforcement Administration is encouraging Americans to get rid of expired or unused prescription drugs. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), the DEA is hosting a national campaign on Saturday, designated as a prescription drug “Take-Back” event, to allow those with expired, unwanted, or unused medications to drop them off at over 4,000 designated locations across the country. Acting DEA administrator Michele Leonhart is quoted by the AP as stating of the need for such a cause, “We have an epidemic… Our research shows that the No. 1 source of medicines that kids abuse is their own home medicine cabinet or a family member or friend’s home.” Leonhart is further quoted as stating, “As parents and grandparents, we do everything we need to do to childproof; now we need teen-proof by getting medicine out of the medicine cabinet.” A list of drug drop sites may be found by visiting http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/takeback/ Charisela Technologies, Inc. Begins Shipping 1 Hour, No Wash Insulin Assay MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charisela Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced assays for flow cytometers, announced today that it is beginning shipments of its porcine and human insulin assay. The assay has many advantages over existing technologies, significantly improving productivity. Initial users are measuring secreted and total content of both porcine and human islet cells for research and transplantation trials seeking a cure for Type I diabetes. “Other products require several hours to run, require several dilution and wash steps, or are often run in duplicate or even triplicate. This added complexity takes time and often compromises the results” “Our assay is faster, simpler, and more accurate than other products on the market,” said Robert Danielzadeh, Charisela’s founder. “Other products require several hours to run, require several dilution and wash steps, or are often run in duplicate or even triplicate. This added complexity takes time and often compromises the results,” he stated. Charisela’s assay is ready for analysis in less than one hour and doesn’t require wash steps. Danielzadeh explained that the Company examined each aspect of running assays and optimized each step of the process: preparation of the samples that didn’t require time consuming and error inducing dilution steps; a simple runtime procedure that required minimal steps and could be done in less than an hour; and quick, clear, easy to read results without the usual interpretation required by other methods. Charisela’s patent pending platform technology enables rapid development of other assays. The company will be announcing several new products in the fourth quarter of this year. Study shows kids with dogs are more active U.S. – A new study suggests man’s best friend may help children become more active. As reported by LiveScience.com, researchers found that kids who have dogs in their families are more active than those without them. As noted in the report, the St George’s University of London researchers found that children with household dogs spent an average of 11 minutes more doing physical activity than non pet owners per day. Lead researcher Christopher Owen, a senior lecturer in epidemiology, is quoted in the report as stating of the findings, “The more active lifestyles of children from dog-owning families [are] really interesting - is it that owning a dog makes you more active or that more active families choose to have a dog?… It’s a bit of a chicken and egg question. Long-term studies are needed to answer it, but it may be a bit of both.” More information about the study may be available in the American Journal of Public Health.
