The F.C. Sturtevant Company Announces Endorsement by Podiatrist for Use of Columbia Antiseptic Powder for Treatment of Toenail Fungus Based on 25 Years of Clinical Use

(PRWEB) May 08, 2013

It's not easy to talk about toenail fungus, and it's definitely not easy to cure. Reinfection and ineffective treatments are common. However, Dr. Malcolm Allinson reveals that he endorses an inexpensive over the counter product for the treatment of toenail fungus, Columbia Antiseptic Powder, which he reports to be as effective as potentially harmful prescription remedies based on the results of 25 years of clinical patient use.


One of the most popular treatments for toenail fungus is the drug Lamisil, which is taken orally for three months and has proven effective in roughly two thirds of patients. Unfortunately, according to an April 2012 report from Novaritis, the manufacturer of Lamisil, cases of liver failure, some leading to liver transplant or death, have occurred with the use of Lamisil Tablets. (http://www.pharma.us.novartis.com/product/pi/pdf/Lamisil_tablets.pdf). One of the liver's primary functions is the removal of toxins from the bloodstream. Since the liver recognizes many drugs, including Lamisil as toxins, the drug can do profound damage to this vital organ. Not many consumers would be willing to accept liver damage in exchange for a treatment for a fungal nail infection.


Another popular treatment is anti-fungal nail polish. Prescription lacquers including Ciclopirox are not as effective as oral drugs; topical drugs often need to be applied regularly for up to one year before any significant results are achieved. There are also risks for people with sensitive skin to develop reactions including rashes and reddening of the skin.


A more modern method of treating toenail fungus is Laser therapy. Studies have found that about a third of all patients that undergo laser treatment will be successfully cured of the fungus. The downsides are the cost of nearly $ 1000.00 per treatment, as well as documented cases of burns on the nails and skin.


For a more natural alternative, look to phenolic antiseptic powder such as Columbia Antiseptic Powder to treat fungus. The antiseptic properties of phenol were used by Sir Joseph Lister (18271912) in his revolutionary technique of antiseptic surgery. Lister determined that phenol kills harmful bacteria and fungus that caused infection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Lister,_1st_Baron_Lister). For this reason his methods of treating infections, both bacterial and fungal, have stood the test of time.


The one product that has been used by physicians and other health care professionals to treat toenail fungus for over 135 years is Columbia Antiseptic Powder. It's made in the USA by one of the countrys oldest and most dedicated skin care products companies.


For best results, Dr. Malcolm Allinson, Podiatrist, recommends applying Columbia Antiseptic Powder to the infected area after a foot bath or mixing a teaspoon of the powder with a few drops of water to form a paste which can be applied to the toenail as often as needed. Dr. Allinson reports that using this powder as a treatment for toenail fungus has been as effective as most of the more commonly used treatments, without any of the alternative method's side effects.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announces Unlimited Nationwide Clinical Support for hCG Diet Plan Patients


Richmond, VA (PRWEB) April 10, 2013

Diet Doc, in realizing the added benefits of clinical support during dieting, offers each patient complimentary clinical consultations with all in-house staff, including physicians, nurses, nutritionists, and weight loss coaches. The company has adopted this strategy in order to aid patients nationwide during weight loss, and up to a year after results have been achieved. This approach allows Diet Doc physicians to keep a keen eye on patient progress while simultaneously offering patients a forum to express any concerns, questions, or receive necessary alterations to their hCG diet plan.


Diet Doc staff is available for consultation six days per week, excluding Sunday. Patients simply call, email, or Skype an in-house professional, putting experts at the fingertips of patients. This revolutionary approach to the dieting is called Telemedicine, allowing patients across the country, in remote areas or without access to appropriate medically supervised hCG diet plans an opportunity to consult with leading health professionals, each with essential supplementary education in the field of medical weight loss. Reporting on the importance of an adequate support system during dieting, About.com reveals "Utilizing the support of others is one of the primary means of coping with challenging events in one's life, including a weight loss plan," says Sandra T. Mann, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist, George Washington University (Washington, DC)."


Diet Doc recognizes that dieting can become tedious and arduous. In an effort to keep dieters invigorated, thus constantly achieving great results, the company has developed a support plan that continually evaluates and readdresses the individual factors that lead to fast weight loss, or even factors that may be causing diminishing results or even full diet plateau. Diet Doc recognizes the importance of making an expert support system available for patients during a low calorie hCG diet plan, and most importantly, being able to alter the diet plan as fast weight loss may slow, begin to taper off, or discontinue altogether. If results slow or stop, it is utterly important that patients are able to contact their physicians to alter nutrition, medication, or exercise plans for optimal results.


Since its discovery in 1954 by Dr. A. Simeons, Diet Doc has completely renovated the outdated hCG diet, allowing patients more services, diet aids, and increasing daily allowed caloric intake to over 1200, the same modified hCG diet plan recommended by Dr. Oz. This modified hCG diet is much safer, healthier, and actually successful than the outdated Simeons hCG protocol. Patients experience the best weight loss, comparable to bariatric surgery, yet free from harmful side effects, malnutrition, or risky and invasive medical procedures.


Diet Docs hCG Diet has taken dieting to a whole new level by providing dieters with not only the safest and most effective means to lose weight fast, but by also providing patients with crucial continued support, education, and guidance throughout the entire weight loss journey and up to a year after completion. The issued high protein, low carbohydrate diet, when used in conjunction with prescription strength hCG is proven to provide dieters with fast weight loss. A recent in-house survey revealed that 97% of clients lost in excess of one pound per day while following the Diet Doc hCG diet plan.

The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy offers advice on how to avoid the pressures of the workplace treat


Wallington, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 11 May 2013

The workplace is often awash with sugary treats brought in by colleagues to celebrate special occasions, and the more people in an office, the more special occasions there are. Some offices even have cream cakes on Friday policy to celebrate the end of the week.


Are these treats really treats or are they really the enemy within?


For many weight loss clients of The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, these workplace treats are often overlooked as a problem. But the almost subliminal pressure these workplace occasions apply can cause clients new behaviours to be severely tested.


Its not just cakes in the office but often biscuits and chocolate are in plentiful supply as people share their treats in a generous way around the office. But for someone on a healthy weight loss programme, being part of a colleagues generosity is something best avoided.


A recent report from The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, show that two thirds of adults are obese or overweight (BMI over 25). So the chances are that two thirds of the people in the office would be better off avoiding the treats too.


Paul White, the behavioural change specialist at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, said Hypnotherapy for weight loss is very effective at changing behaviours around food and can, to a certain degree, help you avoid the subconscious sabotage of colleagues, friends and family. Sometimes, however, the continual barrage of temptations in the office can threaten to overwhelm the clients fledgling behaviours.


At The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy in Surrey they seek to change their clients relationship with food. The hypnotherapist will work with the client to change the way they view food, even the way they think about food, so the client eats to live, rather than lives to eat. By doing so they remove the guilt, reduce consumption and feel happier around food.


Whilst running their weight loss programme at the Institute, they have come across virtually every type of inappropriate behaviour around food and have strategies to deal with all of them. The great thing about using something like hypnotherapy is that it does not matter if the client is dieting or not, as it works on the behaviours and when they change, the food consumption changes naturally.


By seeking to replace any negative thoughts or behaviours with positive ones, clients begin to see changes with eating habits and improvements in feelings of well being. They will then not only feel better about the food they consume, but also begin to feel happier.


Paul White has been Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy for five years. He has been a Director of The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy for 11 years. He has a special interest in weight control and problem behaviours (addictions).







Globally more people die from being overweight and obese than from being underweight warns The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy


Wallington, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 12 May 2013

According to a report published by The European Association for the Study of Obesity in April, approximately 65% of the worlds population inhabit countries where being overweight and obese kills more people than being underweight.


According to the World Health Organisation the prevalence of obesity has tripled since the 1980s. In many European countries 50% of the population are overweight or obese. In the UK the latest figures from The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges show that two thirds of adults are obese or overweight (BMI over 25).


In 2008, globally 1.5 billion adults aged 20 and over, were overweight with an estimated 500 million adults worldwide being obese (over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women).


The World Health Organisation has confirmed obesity as the largest health problem globally in adults, which is becoming a more serious problem than malnutrition across the globe.


In the majority of European countries, being overweight and obese are thought to be responsible for about 80% of cases of type 2 diabetes, 35% of heart disease and 55% of high blood pressure among adults.


Although this problem seems to be growing rapidly there is a simple solution. For the majority of people losing weight is about behavioural change and the reason most people seem unable to achieve this is that they cannot maintain the behavioural change long term.


Hypnotherapy for weight loss not only helps people make the initial behavioural change but, as a rule, the changes that are made tend to be long lasting. This allows weight loss clients to get used to the new behaviours and after a while they become normal behaviours.


Weight loss hypnotherapy is about creating new behaviours that fit in with the lifestyle of the client. Exercising and salads dont suit everyone and the hypnotherapy weight loss programme will adapt, depending on the needs of the client.


Paul White, the behavioural change specialist at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, said Many people we see want to lose weight without committing large chunks of their time to exercising. Its important to understand that exercise is important for health. However, it is not required to lose weight. We would always encourage our clients to exercise but for the vast majority of our clients, they either dont have the time or they are too heavy to exercise easily.

The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy reveals the top 3 long term motivators for successful weight loss hypnotherapy


Wallington, Surrey, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 May 2013

Women typically go on diets or health kicks 5 times a year and men twice a year. But the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy says that their reasons for doing so are too short term which leads to only temporary weight loss and then a regain of all the weight lost and often more on top. This type of behaviour is what is generally described as Yo-Yo dieting.


By using hypnotherapy for weight loss this Yo-Yo dieting can be avoided. However, one of the first things that has to be adjusted is normally their motivation. For some people that is already in place and isnt needed. However, for the vast majority the motivation is what makes the difference between sustainable weight loss and return to Yo-Yo dieting.


In the report they disclose the top 3 motivators to successful weight loss hypnotherapy and what triggers the motivation in some clients. Other strong motivators exist such as a beach body for a summer holiday, weddings and other special events, but these are too short term and do not allow new behaviours to bed in successfully.


By using their weight loss hypnotherapy programme it not only helps people make the initial behavioural change but, as a rule, because the changes are made at a subconscious level, they tend to be longer lasting. This allows weight loss clients to get used to the new behaviours and after a while they become normal behaviours.


Paul White, the behavioural change specialist at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, said Motivation is the key aspect behind long lasting weight loss. The beach body is too short-term a goal, especially as it is all too common for people to report that they put back on all they lost and more whilst actually on holiday, which means they lose all the advances they have made in just a couple of weeks. This is very de-motivating and does not bode well for the coming months and years.


Contrast that with a recent client that we had been working with for a while to change behaviours that said Back from holiday, first thing I did was jump on the scales (and no they didn't break!!). Surprisingly lost 2lb, not sure how but I'm not complaining!! This sort of statement is not unusual when clients use our hypnotherapy for weight loss programme. Because the change is in their thought processes and mental responses and this causes changes in their behaviours.


By replacing negative behaviours with positive ones, clients start to see changes with eating habits and improvements in feelings of well being. They will then not only feel better about the food they consume, but also begin to feel happier.

More Weight Loss Diet Press Releases

Losing weight can be a different experience says The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy


Wallington, Surrey, UK (PRWEB UK) 29 May 2013

The reason people expect that is because in the past they have experienced those types of feelings and it is reasonable to expect them in the future. After all, by definition they will be reducing food intake so feeling hungry is to be expected, or is it?


We all know that if someone is overweight, the reason is they have almost certainly overeaten in the past. Overeating means taking in too much food so it is fair to say that the body does not need the extra food, and now the overeating is probably a conditioned response. This means your body has got used to the level of food and now expects it.


Hypnotherapy for weight loss re-conditions your mind to expect less food at a subconscious level. This change has a fundamental effect on the way you think about food.


When less food is expected, the body becomes satisfied quicker and normally there is less interest in food. This is because when less food is expected the brain produces hormones that allow a full feeling to be sent earlier.


The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy uses proven hypnotherapeutic techniques that re-educates the brain into believing that smaller portions are enough. So, where in the past the brain might have created the desire for larger portions, or even seconds and perhaps desserts, the re-educated brain no longer craves them.


When hypnotherapy for weight is used, the desire for large amounts of food is dramatically reduced.


Hypnotherapy for weight loss not only helps people make the initial behavioural change but, as a rule, the changes that are made tend to be long lasting. This allows weight loss clients to get used to the new behaviours and after a while they become normal behaviours.


Weight loss hypnotherapy is about creating new behaviours that fit in with the lifestyle of the client. Exercising and salads dont suit everyone and the hypnotherapy weight loss programme will adapt, depending on the needs of the client.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announces Prescription hCG Diet Plans Now With Unlimited Clinical Support For All Patients


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

With competition from a myriad of other diet companies, Diet Doc has distinguished its self from the competition by now offering patients unlimited clinical support. Diet Docs new support initiative not only allows free consultation to patients during the course of their prescription hCG diets, but also allows patients who have completed their hCG diet plan to contact the company for up to a year after weight has been lost, making Diet Doc one of the most supportive weight loss companies in the nation.


Monday through Saturday, clients can contact an in-house physician, nurse, nutritionist, or diet counselor and discuss all aspects of the hCG diet plans, get diet recommendations, or simply receive encouragement from a diet coach who can relate to the struggles of weight loss. Medical Director for Diet Doc, Dr. Nishant Rao adds The real secret to achieving long term results is having the right support system in place, to catch you when you may stumble, and we now provide unlimited support for every client, from the initial fast weight loss through to the maintenance stage, ensuring long term success for every client.


Diet Doc recognizes that losing weight can be a long and arduous process. In an effort to keep dieters fortified and on the proper track to improved health, the company has developed a support plan that uses unlimited consultations to continually evaluate and address the individual factors that lead to fast weight loss, or even factors that may be causing diminishing results or weight loss plateau. The company recognizes the importance of fostering feelings of wellbeing during its weight reduction plans, and most importantly, the availability of nutritionists and physicians who can alter the diet plan as fast weight loss changes, begins to taper off, or is not adequate for the client's final goals. During fast weight loss, dieters may experience plateau or other negative symptoms of a low calorie diet. Diet Doc, unlike most of its competitors, realized that if these symptoms occur, or if results begin to wane, it is imperative that patients have clear access to professionals who can alter the hCG diet plans and get them back on track.


With the nations most advanced hCG diet plans, Diet Doc has become the leading and most successful prescription-only hCG provider in the country. By modifying and modernizing the original hCG protocol, the company has made it a safer method of dieting by allowing the patient increased daily caloric allowance of up to 1250 daily, more than double that of the original, outdated hCG regimen used by competitors. Diet Docs hCG Diet has taken dieting to a whole new level by providing dieters with not only the safest and most effective means to lose weight fast, but by also providing patients with crucial unlimited support, education, and guidance throughout the entire weight reduction period, helping patients safely and quickly transfer into a healthy lifestyle.


The companys prescription hCG diet plans are closely monitored by an expert team of doctors, nurses and certified nutritionists who work side by side to ensure that patients safely and effectively achieve fast results. Prior to the patient committing to a healthier lifestyle by losing excess fat, an extensive yet simple medical evaluation is completed from the privacy of the patients own home. The patients medical history, current health considerations, medications, age, gender, lifestyle and goals are all taken into account by the companys in-house physicians. If all medical requirements are satisfied, physicians will dispense prescription strength hCG, either in injection, oral drops, or sublingual tablets.


Next, certified nutritionists create healthy diet plans specific to each patients individual dietary and weight reduction needs in order to achieve maximum effectiveness. The issued high protein, low carbohydrate diet, when used in conjunction with prescription strength hCG, is proven to provide dieters with fast weight loss and minimal side effects, with a recent in-house survey revealing that 97% of clients lost up to one pound per day when following the Diet Doc hCG Diet plan.
