Yourwellness Magazine Explores Botox and Other Anti-Ageing Possibilities

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 10 May 2013

National Institutes of Health researchers have recently used the popular anti-wrinkle agent Botox to discover a new and important role for a group of molecules that nerve cells use to quickly send messages. In the latest Cell Reports (http://www.nice.org.uk/newsroom/pressreleases/BotulinumToxinTypeAForHeadachesAssociatedWithChronicMigraine.jsp), the researchers explained they used Botox and similar toxins as tools to show that SNAREs may be involved in retrieving message carrier shells from nerve cell membranes immediately after release.

This is not the first time that Botox has been used in the brain, as guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends Botox injections to prevent headaches in some adults who experience chronic migraine . The stipulations are that the patients condition must not have responded to taking at least three prior preventative medications and must have been appropriately managed for medication overuse.

Professor Carole Longson, Director of the Health Technology Evaluation Centre at NICE, commented, "The NHS Constitution states that patients have the legal right to receive all drugs recommended by NICE if their doctors believe they are clinically appropriate. NHS settings in England and Wales now have until September to allocate funding for the use of Botox for preventing headache in chronic migraine, as outlined in our guidance."

With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine investigated the anti-ageing treatment Laviv, which has been touted as the new Botox. Yourwellness Magazine reported that the product re-injects the bodys own cells into the face to eliminate wrinkles, taking a sample of fibroplasts from behind the ear (which produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid) and culturing them in a lab for 90 days before they are re-injected over a five-week period.

Yourwellness Magazine noted the reservations of Chris Inglefield, from London Bridge Plastic Surgery, who explained that the product has been around since the 90s, and has since only demonstrated good results in younger women. Most of the women who looked to Isolagen for skin rejuvenation were in their 50s, he said. But, as you get older, you have fewer active fibrolasts. As a result, you tend to have less raw material to work with.

PeopleKeys Managing Stress Course: New Online Class Explores the Connection Between Stress and Personality Type

Boardman, Ohio (PRWEB) May 21, 2013

Recent data from the American Medical Association estimates that 43% adults have experienced negative effects on their health due to stress. The AMA similarly believe that the impact of stress is much more significant than many people realize, attributing 75% to 90% of all doctors visits to stress-related illnesses.

Stress is something that many Americans accept as a normal part of daily life. Unfortunately, left untreated stress can cause a great many ill-effects on a persons physical and emotional well-being. Serious medical conditions such as hypertension, chronic headache, depression, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, heart problems, stomach pain, and skin conditions are in many cases a direct product of excessive stress.

Currently, there are quite a few treatment options for individuals suffering from extreme chronic stress. Exercise, meditation, changes in diet, yoga, are all commonly suggested stress management techniques. Yet because individual physical and emotional responses to stress are so varied, blanket solutions like these are rarely effective for everyone. Rather than finding ways to treat the effects of stress, experts believe that it is better to focus on the root of the problem through understanding the situations that trigger stress in the first place.

Just as individual reactions to stress are so different, stress triggers also vary widely from person to person. Recent research from PeopleKeys shows that the most successful way to determine an individuals unique stress triggers is through an understanding of personality type. To that end, PeopleKeys recently announced the launch of their personality-based DISC Managing Stress Course.

The DISC Managing Stress Course can be taken online in under two hours, and provides powerful diagnostic tools for identifying a persons personality type, levels of stress, and stress triggers. The DISC Stress Management Course begins with a comprehensive personality test designed to identify the personality type of the test-taker. Once personality type has been determined, the Stress Management Couse provides insight into the ways that stress affects behavior, and provides clear and effective personality-driven strategies for preventing and managing stress. This is done with a personal stress evaluation, which allows participants to chart stress levels in ten key areas related to stress.

The course is interactive, and gages progress through short quizzes. As a preventative stress-management tool, the Managing Stress Course helps participants:

An article from a Green House Eco-Cleaning said the average American home contains gallons of toxic chemicals.

Through prolonged exposure to these products, the toxin levels in the body can increase until a real health problem is present.

So, what toxins are often present in household cleaners?

Could be neurotoxins, endocrine disrupters and carcinogens among others.
