As a personal chef, I get asked a lot of questions about many different types of diets.  One of the most important diet considerations to me as a chef is food allergies.  Gluten is a protein found in wheat, Oat, Barley and Rye products, which cause allergic reactions in the digestive system.

Clearwater, FL (April 1, 2009) -I wanted to share with everyone a few exciting real life successes from our patients who have used the new DEEP TISSUE LASER. 

These cases are typical everyday.  There is absolutely no reason to go on suffering from unwanted pain and disabilities.  LiteCure is truly remarkable and gets fast results (sometimes less than 5 treatments).  The best part is it’s affordable on any budget at just $50 a treatment.  If you want to know how and if laser can end your pain, call us at (727) 446-1141 and schedule an appointment today.  We are conveniently located in the heart of downtown Clearwater with good parking.

You wouldn't want to raise race horses in Wisconsin because the soil there is high in calcium, which makes them way too relaxed. Cattle raised in Wisconsin are big, easy-going and relaxed.  In contrast, breeders in Kentucky don't raise contented cattle but race horses - nervous, jumpy, raring-to-go race horses.  That's because the soil is high in phosphorus and low in calcium, which results in wound-up, chomping-at-the-bit, high energy horses. They can't relax and that's what you want in a race horse. 

Reducing the Side Effects of Life

Dear Readers,

My name is April Cook and I am a Licensed Medical Esthetician and the Owner of “Ageless Solutions Skin Care” located in Dunedin. Don’t stop reading—I know—just like attorneys and hair dressers, estheticians are a dime a dozen. What sets me apart from all the others is my passion for educating the public that skin care is not only beneficial for their health and well-being, but vital.

I was fortunate to have been raised around a nutritionist all my life, my mother. Living my life as organically as possible and knowing how important internal health is, I naturally saw the need to focus on the largest organ in the body, our skin.

ARE YOUR COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS SAFE?

Choosing safe products can be a daunting task without the proper knowledge and tools. Many product packages are deceptively designed to make you believe that the product inside the package is herbal, all natural, safe and gentle, when in fact the product contains little or no natural or herbal ingredients, is contaminated with carcinogens and is irritating to the skin. This is the case because of the lack of regulation in the cosmetic and personal care product industry. But armed with a little knowledge and some helpful tools, there is much you can do to protect yourself.

Here are 10 things you can do to make safer and healthier choices when selecting your toiletries. Read the ingredients on the label. The packaging may say such things as natural, herbal or hypoallergenic. This has nothing to do with what’s really in the product or how safe it is. Manufacturers make a lot of claims on the package to “sell” the product. They can do this because some of the terms don’t have official definitions and they can use them however they want. To really fi nd out what’s in a product, you must read the ingredients in the small print, you know, the ones that you sometimes need a magnifying glass to be able to see.
