Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Jeffrey M. Kenkel, has been selected in the latest listing of Top Doctors released by US News and World Report. The annual listing identifies physicians who are considered to be in the top of their medical specialty in the United States.

The Top Doctors list is a collaboration between Castle Connolly and US News and World Report. Inclusion starts by peer nomination process. Each physician can nominate up to 10 doctors in their own specialty and up to 3 additional specialties. The nominations are then reviewed and screened by a physician directed research team.

The recognition is strictly by peer nominations and independent review. No doctor can pay to be included on the list and no hospitals or affiliates can pay to have their physicians included.

Im honored to have been selected as a US News Top Doctor, says Dr. Kenkel. National, peer reviewed recognitions such as Top Doctors can be a useful resource for patients seeking a well qualified plastic surgeon.

In addition to being selected as a Top Doctor, the program has also given Dr. Kenkel a special designation that identifies him as being in the top 1% in his specialty of plastic surgery. Unlike other US News listings, the Top Doctors list is not ranked. However, this special designation shows doctors who stand out, even from other Top Doctors.

I always encourage patients to select their plastic surgeon carefully," explains Dr. Kenkel. "Make sure that your plastic surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and that he or she operates in an accredited facility.

Columbia Healing Cream develops a unique old world technique for processing aloe that honors traditional methods used to make wine.

(PRWEB) May 30, 2013

But first: what exactly is aloe vera?

As a member of the cactus plant family, aloe vera grows in arid climates and stores moisture in its leaves. The healing qualities of aloe gel have been utilized for centuries - the ancient Egyptians even called aloe the "plant of immortality." The clear gel found in its leaves has widely been used to maintain healthy skin. Most are familiar with the soothing effect of applying aloe to a sunburn.

Aloe gel contains more than 75 naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and enzymes known to help with a number of skin-related issues (1). For example, Aloe contains C and E vitamins that fight aging by keeping skin firm and tight. It has healing and anti-inflammatory hormones that treat acne, burns, dry flaky skin, small cuts, abrasions, itchiness making it an effective treatment for skin (2). According to the Mayo Clinic, topical aloe gel has immunomodulatory properties that may improve wound healing and skin inflammation (3). Medical studies how that aloe has even been known to soothe persistent conditions such as eczema, dandruff, and psoriasis (4,5,6).

So what's the problem with most skin care products containing aloe?

The way in which aloe is extracted and processed has profound implications on how much of the original natural benefits of the plant are maintained in the final product (7). When aloe is extracted under high heat and thrown in a blender, it loses its potency. Much of the benefits are diminished and rendered ineffective in the process, leaving the consumer with a much weaker product (8).

Does it make sense to use a dehydrated product to hydrate your skin?

Not surprisingly, but widely unkown, many companies use powdered aloe to keep costs down since the dehydrated aloe doesn't need to be processed fresh and storage is easy. This makes it cheaper but at the cost of effectiveness. And unlike the orange juice at the grocery store, they don't have to claim that the aloe they are using is made from concentrate so consumers are unaware they are purchasing a product that has been processed to a degree that reduces it's potency (9).

Columbia Healing Cream has taken a quite different approach.

Columbia Healing Cream has developed a specialized way to extract essential aloe through a process called "Cold Pressing" that yields the most effective and least processed aloe isolate. Cold pressed aloe is far more potent than other aloe products that are processed with heat (10). Columbia's process is more time consuming and costly, but it leads to a product that is of superior quality and far more efficacious. With no corners cut, you can liken their delicate old-world methodology to finely crafted wine.

Columbia Healing Cream uses only the most effective ingredients, carefully picked after years of testing for purity and their ability to work in harmony with, and actually enhance the effectiveness, of the other ingredients in the formula. They choose these ingredients, not so they can sport the latest fad ingredients in bold lettering on their packaging, but because Columbia strives to produce the most powerful skin care product on the market. This attention to the most minute detail in their labs, yields twice the healing enzymes, twice the vitamins, twice the soothing amino acids for enhanced skin repair.

People are rightly concerned about the products they put into their bodies as evidenced by the scrutiny they apply when reading the ingredient labels on food products. Columbia believes a product that is absorbed into your skin should be made with equal care and attention to its components. After all, skin is the largest vital organ in the human body. With Columbia brand products, consumers can finally treat it as such.

AncestorEbooks Reminds the World of the Beginning of the Jewish 21 Days Called Three Weeks

(PRWEB) June 06, 2013

With the coming of 'Three Weeks' AncestorEbooks reminds America and the world of the Jewish event that reminds the next generation of Jews of the difficult road their nation has trod. "There is no more tragic, no period more painful, no suffering more acute than what has befallen the Jewish people, throughout history, during the Three Weeks," writes Sara Esther Crispe in her Chabad.org article 'Breaking Walls.' [bit.ly/10WiX4V]

"Beginning on day 17 of the Hebrew month of Tammuz and ending with the ninth day of the month of Av, the Jewish people, as individuals and as a collective whole, mourn and commemorate the many painful attempts at our destruction which occurred in this time," continues Crispe in an easy to read article that all caring adults should take the time to read.

Historically during the Three Weeks time period, many tragedies have come to pass within in the Jewish culture. These tragedies include the loss of Israel because of a false report of the 12 spies, the destruction of the First Temple and 500 years later the Second Temple was destroyed.

Jewish custom forbids holding weddings, getting hair cuts, bathing for pleasure and participating in pleasurable activities.

World Renowned Facial Plastic Surgeon Babak Azizzade, MD, FACS, Explains Popularity Surge of Non-Invasive CoolSculpting

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 02, 2013

In a recent article on OpposingViews.com, the ever-growing popularity of new non-invasive CoolSculpting was highlighted. Babak Azizzadeh, MD, FACS, and director of the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery has seen an extreme influx in the amount of patients seeking the treatment in Beverly Hills, and believes the reason behind the popularity surge is due in part to the procedures non-invasive nature and the excellent results that can be seen.

Were only a couple of months into 2013 and CoolSculpting is already one of the top treatments performed at the CENTER. I think the word is finally getting out that a person can see dramatic results in diminishing stubborn fatty areas that seem to be diet or exercise resistant, said Dr. Azizzadeh.

CoolSculpting is a completely non-invasive treatment that works to remove stubborn body fat using a new method called Crypsolosis to freeze fatty areas, therefore destroying fat cells and allowing them to be absorbed and released from the body. As the article explained, CoolSculpting appointments can last between one to three hours depending on which body areas are being treated. The treatment works best for individuals who are seeking to remove small amounts of stubborn fat, or an extra bulge here or there.

Some of the most popular areas treated with CoolSculpting are love handles, flanks, the lower stomach area, and the back. These are all areas that tend to be difficult to rid fat of naturally, which is why so many are turning to CoolSculpting, said Dr. Azizzadeh.

Though CoolSculpting, like liposuction, is not a permanent weight loss solution and requires the patient to lead a healthy lifestyle to keep excess weight off, the treatment does proceed to show improved results over the course of several months as fat continues to die off and become released from the body.

Final results from CoolSculpting are usually seen in about 3-4 months following the procedure. I often recommend a patient undergo treatment twice to get the absolute best outcomes, said Babak Azizzadeh, MD, FACS.

Dr. Azizzadeh is a world-renowned facial plastic surgeon and the author of five bestselling books, including the popular consumer guidebook "Beverly Hills Beauty Secrets." He was recognized as a Beauty Expert in 2012, and has been featured in popular media outlets such as Entertainment Tonight, The Doctors, LA Times and the NY Times. Dr. Azizzadeh serves on the Physician Advisory Board of Sanofi-Aventis, Mysoscience, Mentor, and SkinMedica, and was awarded the RealSelf Top Botox Experts Award in 2011. As a Harvard trained facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Azizzadeh has a unique understanding of both facial aesthetics and function.

Creative Bioscience and Vitamin World Launch Garcinia Cambogia 1234

Murray, UT (PRWEB) June 12, 2013

Fresh off the heels of the successful launch of their most recent supplement, Creative Bioscience has once again partnered with Vitamin World to bring to market another fantastic product.

Garcinia Cambogia 1234, an all-natural product from Creative Bioscience is a revolutionary weight loss aid. Derived from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit, the supplement helps block the formation of fat, thereby increasing weight loss results significantly.

Scientists and medical professionals believe HCA extracted from Garcinia aids weight loss in two ways: it helps block fat formation, and it suppresses the urge to eat. Dieters still need to eat smart and stay active, but HCA enhances diet results. It appears to fight fat by inhibiting Citrate Lyase, an important enzyme that our bodies require to convert carbohydrates to fat. HCA also acts to slow production of LDL (bad) cholesterol in the same way.

HCA has been shown to also raise serotonin (a.k.a. "happy hormone") levels in the brain, which not only improves mood by reducing anxiety and depression, but reduces the likelihood of eating as a response to stress.

The product will be carried in Vitamin Worlds retail locations as well as in their online store, http://www.vitaminworld.com. The two companies are excited to be furthering their commitment to each other and to their customers.
