Environmentalist Promotes Green Living with Informational Blog Site

JCGworldwideenterprises. com is a new website emerging as one of the top online resources for products and information pertaining to green living. With the addition of a new blog, website founder Jordan Gottlieb hopes to open up a dialogue to discuss the benefits of living green, and how people can make simple changes to help the environment.

Laurel, MD (PRWEB) August 27, 2009

"I'm involved in the whole environmental movement, from ridding the world of plastics to composting organic material," said Jordan Gottlieb. "But instead of just reading about how to live green, I am living it, and I want to share my experiences with other people."

Gottlieb is the founder of www. JCGWorldWideEnterprises. com. Launched in January of 2009, the website has become a comprehensive resource for supplies and information that promote environmental wellness.

Gottlieb has a multi-faceted approach to green living that includes recycling, renewable energy and organic growing. However, Gottlieb is also committed to ensuring green living is practical, and through his own experiences, will help educate others on which green projects work and which don't.

"While I want people to get involved in the environmental movement, I also want to help them understand the reasons for doing so, because wanting to go green isn't enough, it takes commitment," said Gottlieb. "I've started with a few simple projects, right now I'm working with the pet waste composter, and once I've used it for a while I'll be reporting the results."

In order to share his experiences with others, Gottlieb created a new blog at www. TheGreenSpeak. com. The blog will feature the results from Gottlieb's green projects, as well as general information for people who want to help themselves and the environment.

"In the next several months, I plan on tackling the big topics, like whether solar and wind power is practical for the average homeowner," said Gottlieb. "I'll even be talking about organic eating and how to plant a vegetable garden, which I think will appeal to a lot of people who want to eat healthier and cut out some of the cost of groceries."

Gottlieb believes his website is most appealing because of its practical and informational approach to green living. "I'm focused on protecting the environment, and educating others on how to do it," said Gottlieb. "If even a handful of people go green because of this website, I'll have reached my goal, but of course I'm looking at this from a worldwide perspective as well."

Optimism Continues Strong For Improved Business Conditions

DALLAS (PRWEB) August 7, 2005

A recent survey conducted by Randall James Monroe, a Dallas-based global executive search consultancy, suggests that executives of major corporations are optimistic that business conditions will continue to improve for the next six months.

Results indicate that executive optimism with regard to business conditions continues on a positive trend that was registered in the first half of 2005. This is reflected by 81% of executives believing conditions within their companies will improve during the final six months of 2005.

Telecom and Energy executives showed the highest degree of optimism Â– 90% believe that business conditions will improve over the next six months for their organizations. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of both Manufacturing and Professional Services executives indicated improving business conditions for their companies during the second half of 2005, followed by 85% in Software/IT, 80% in Automotive, 77% in Retail, 73% in Financial Services, 54% in Transportation and 46% in Healthcare.

Optimism about executive hiring varies by industry Â– overall 39% expect to increase hiring over the next six months for their organizations. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Software/IT executives surveyed expect hiring to increase in the next six months, followed by 41% in both Professional Services and Retail, 40% in both Automotive and Energy, 38% in Manufacturing, 37% in Telecom, 33% in Financial Services, 31% in Transportation and 18% in Healthcare.

Â“There is a continued positive trend in executive confidenceÂ” noted James Leverette, President of Randall James Monroe, Inc. Â“This is reflected by moderate growth expected to continue on through to the end of 05. However, cost containment is still the single biggest driver influencing corporate decision making given the slow down the economy has just come through. The good news however, is that executives are cautiously loosening the corporate purse strings to meet their operational needs. As a result, we expect to see a continued increase in hiring and optimism over what has been seen in the past few years.Â”

The survey was emailed to 1000 executives working in a cross section of companies in the nation. Approximately 400 responses were registered. For more information about the survey, you may contact Randall James Monroe at 972-392-3200.

Children's Charity Set to Benefit from Company's Online Credit Crunch Initiative

Almost 50 percent of people surveyed are predicting they will probably give less money to worthy causes in the next 12 months as a result of the credit crunch. A revolutionary new initiative by Cash Converters, the UK's number one retailer of pre-owned and nearly new goods, has found a novel way for people to make money from unwanted goods, buy bargains and still help a children's charity. Cash Converters, supporting national children's charity Dreams Come True, will host a first of its kind online charity auction at www. cashconverters. co. uk between 8-17 October where goods brought into its stores can be sold online with every penny made going to national charity Dreams Come True.

United Kingdom (PRWEB) October 10, 2008

A YouGov survey* looking at the charitable habits of people across Britain has shown that shrinking household budgets and rising bills will mean charities in Britain are set to lose out this year. Almost 50 percent of people surveyed are predicting they will probably give less money to worthy causes in the next 12 months as a result of the credit crunch.

YouGov also found that over a quarter of us (29%) have over £500 worth of unwanted household items lying around the home - from electronic gadgets, CDs and DVDs to health, sport and music equipment - which they could be making money from.

Now, a revolutionary new initiative by Cash Converters, the UK's number one retailer of pre-owned and nearly new goods, has found a novel way for people to make money from unwanted goods, buy bargains and still help a children's charity.

Cash Converters, supporting national children's charity Dreams Come True, will host a first of its kind online charity auction at www. cashconverters. co. uk/dreamscometrue (http://www. cashconverters. co. uk/dreamscometrue). Between 8-17 October, goods brought into its stores can be sold online with every penny made going to the charity that fulfils the dreams of terminally and seriously ill children.

The company's online auction website, www. cashconverters. co. uk, built by Traffic Digital, sells pre-owned and nearly new items as varied as sports equipment and jewellery through to HD ready TVs. During the ten charity auction days, it will also have memorabilia up for grabs donated by sports stars and high profile personalities including Dame Kelly Homes and Theo Walcott.

"We are helping people all over the country in these difficult times release some cash from items they no longer use which, as this survey shows, could add up to quite a lot," said chief executive of Cash Converters, Mark Lemmon. "At the same time the credit crunch will certainly have a troubling affect on charities in this country which is a real shame. We wanted to do something that would help people raise a little bit extra, while making sure one charity, Dreams Come True, can continue to help terminally and seriously ill children."

Peter Newman, chief executive at Dreams Come True, said, "Cash Converters has given its full backing to the charity and the fundraising undertaken to date has been fantastic. Hosting this online auction is a very generous gesture and we are hoping people will support this initiative and bid for a bargain!"

Established in 1988 Dreams Come True helps children aged 2 to 21 years with both severe and life threatening illnesses, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis and cerebral palsy. If you know a child who deserves a dream or for more information about the charity visit The Dreams Come True website at www. dctc. org. uk.

*The YouGov survey was commissioned by Cash Converters and asked over 1,900 people about their charitable habits.

Hot Pepper Nasal Spray Could be The Answer To Allergies & Rhinitis

More than 22 million Americans suffer from allergic Rhinitis, most commonly referred to as Â“hay feverÂ”. Every spring through autumn, patients pop pills, and snort nasal sprays with dangerous side effects and no real relief. Finally science is beginning to pin down the causes and treatments for chronic allergies, and according to many, the answer for relief may be old fashioned Â“Hot PeppersÂ”.

Albany, NY (PRWEB) April 18, 2005

More than 22 million Americans suffer from allergic rhinitis, most commonly referred to as old fashion Â“Hay FeverÂ”. For the average patient, Hay Fever is simply the laymenÂ’s way of describing what is regarded as general allergies. Chronic cases can include any combination of symptoms including stuffy nose, watery eyes, fatigue, and worst of all -- headaches. General Allergy symptoms can be caused by a variety of triggers including pollen, mold, fresh cut grass and blooming spring flowers.

Most allergy sufferers respond to more than one environmental trigger making allergy season considerably longer than most people realize. For instance, a person who reacts adversely to spring flowers and low pollen counts may also react to high pollen counts in late summer. The average American allergy patient will experience a variety of symptoms from early April through late September Â– with the severity of those symptoms fluctuating throughout. As pollen counts change and humidity levels increase, many patients experience more severe symptoms. In addition, temperatures and wind speeds are also important factors that effect allergy sufferers. Basically it all adds up to chronic sufferers being forced to continue long term usage of Over The Counter (OTC) and Prescription allergy medications with no real end in sight, and no true relief either.

Though many of the most popular allergy relief products have been on the market for years, it is widely believed by physicians that long term use of these pills and nasal sprays can be dangerous and possibly addictive. In recent years, the medical industry has attempted to steer patients away from artificially synthesized drugs, and toward more natural methods. Dehumidifiers, Hepafilters, Saline Sprays and Nasal Irrigators have all become highly recommended by doctors, but now thereÂ’s an Â“all naturalÂ” nasal spray that may prove to be the answer to nearly every allergy suffererÂ’s prayers.

ItÂ’s the worldÂ’s first hot pepper nasal spray known as Â“Sinus BusterÂ”. Within one year, this strange product has built an impeccable reputation with more than one thousand physicians around the world. Sinus BusterÂ’s main active ingredient is hot pepper extract Â– particularly Capsaicin, the natural chemical that dictates the hotness of hot peppers. According to officials at SiCap Industries, makers of Sinus Buster, the effectiveness of their product relies on more than just the capsaicin.

Â“In the pharmaceutical industry they sometimes have a tough time thinking out of the box. With them everything relies on one main active ingredient. ItÂ’s all about synthesized drugs that are far removed from their natural compounds. ThatÂ’s because they can get a lot more money for something thatÂ’s been synthesized so it can become a patented drug. Big Pharma avoids natural medicine because the profit is so much lower, but they use the best aspects of natural cures to design their drugs. Yes capsaicin is the main active ingredient in Sinus Buster, but the eucalyptus and rosemary are equally important. WeÂ’ve spent years honing this formula to get the right combination of all natural ingredients. After all this is the only all natural capsaicin based nasal spray available and it works like a charm,Â” says Wayne Perry, President of SiCap Industries.

Sinus Buster does have one heck of a reputation for relieving chronic sinus conditions and chronic headaches. It also has one heck of a bite when you first use it. Sinus Buster wakes you up faster than a strong cup of morning java. ThereÂ’s no doubt this formula instantly relieves nasal congestion, but it also has a cumulative effect on blocking allergy triggers such as pollen. Most chronic allergy sufferers who use Sinus Buster claim near complete relief within two weeks of use, and complete relief within a month. Beyond the first month, most allergy patients reduce usage to an Â“as neededÂ” regimen to aid in the blocking of allergy triggers thus preventing chronic symptoms altogether.

Â“The whole secret to Sinus Buster is it works for most everyone. While some people need to use it regularly to combat severe chronic allergies, many other people may only need to use it once in a while like on days when the pollen count is high. This formula really is the answer to every allergy suffererÂ’s prayers. WeÂ’re talking instant symptom relief for most users,Â” Perry explains.

Sinus Buster has recently grabbed the attention of some major medical researchers due to the overwhelming body of anecdotal evidence both from patients and physicians. SiCap industries is presently involved in several clinical trials concerning various sinus and headache treatments. A new study about to begin in the United States is concentrating on Sinus BusterÂ’s effectiveness for relieving allergic Rhinitis symptoms. Many doctors are already recommending Sinus Buster as a replacement for OTC sprays and intranasal steroids -- namely because itÂ’s effective and safe for extended use.

Â“The key to fighting allergies over the long term is that patients have to continue treatment basically forever. If you have spring allergies or summer allergies or whatever, you will always have symptoms during those periods. So you need something that can relieve the symptoms and prevent them at the same time. You need something you can take as often as you may need depending on the allergy triggers youÂ’re facing. You need something with no added chemicals and no artificial crap. Sinus Buster is completely natural and itÂ’s designed to be used as often or as little as necessary. So it fits everyone. All the ingredients are totally natural food grade ingredients, and itÂ’s even considered safe for pregnant women. No other nasal spray can say that,Â” adds Perry.

Sinus Buster can be purchased on the web and in select retailers throughout North America. This formula is available in the original stream spray bottle (10.99), and the newer metered dose bottle ($15.99). Doctors recommend the metered dose version for treating allergies and chronic sinus conditions. Both bottles work against headaches of various types although the stream sprayer may prove better for acute cluster headache attacks.

Information about Sinus Buster is everywhere Â– from WebMD to MSN. You can even find it on Ebay, but the best way to find out more is to visit the company website at (www. sinusbuster. com). You can find links to local retailers there, and an online store that offers SiCap natural health products. Samples and info kits are also available for qualified media and medical personnel upon request.

Study Proves Cellfood&#174; Nutritional Supplement Effective for Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Study Proves Cellfood® Nutritional Supplement Effective for Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

Researchers at the University of Siena, Italy found CELLFOOD effective at reducing the symptoms of pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients who did not respond to other therapies. CELLFOOD® is a proprietary blend of oxygen and 129 minerals, amino acids, and enzymes available in over 70 countries and distributed by Lumina Health Products.

Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) March 11, 2009

Fibromyalgia sufferers are likely to experience reductions in pain and fatigue when taking recommended dosages of CELLFOOD, according to research results from the University of Siena, Italy, published in the medical journal, Reumatismo.

A twelve week study involving thirty patients who did not respond to conventional therapies for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) found that both subjective and objective levels of pain, as well as fatigue from work and daily activities were significantly improved by the end of the study. Tender points on the body, a painful and common symptom of FMS were also noticeably reduced by CELLFOOD. Other symptoms, such as anxiety and early morning fatigue improved as well but were not statistically significant.

The study treated 21 patients with CELLFOOD and nine patients with a placebo after an initial diagnostic measurement and subjective evaluation of their FMS symptoms. The researchers reported that after 12 weeks of treatment with CELLFOOD, "there was marked clinical improvement of Fibromyalgia's symptomatology both on a subjective level (VAS) and on an objective level (tender point count) on treated patients." The researchers noted that this therapeutic, non-pharmacological approach could provide an important contribution in the treatment of patients with FMS. Because the patient's tolerance to CELLFOOD was optimal, the researchers indicated that further exploration of larger dosages for a longer period of time would provide even more insights regarding the efficacy of the product.

"Over the past decade we've been making CELLFOOD available in North America, we've had many e-mails and phone calls from elated fibromyalgia sufferers who tell us that CELLFOOD has helped give them quality of life. And, now the scientific research is backing it up," says Mark Rubin, President of Lumina Health Products, the North American distributor of CELLFOOD.

Michelle Schoffro Cook, DNM, DAc, CNC, best-selling and six time book author adds: "Many sufferers of fibromyalgia become disabled from chronic pain and fatigue, unable to work, or to enjoy life fully. It's tremendous to know that CELLFOOD is reducing pain and fatigue among fibromyalgia sufferers, particularly in those who have not received relief from previous treatment."

Fibromyalgia is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by widespread pain, abnormal pain processing, sleep disturbance, fatigue and often psychological distress. People with fibromyalgia may also have other symptoms such as:
Morning stiffness Tingling or numbness in hands and feet Headaches, including migraines Irritable bowel syndrome Problems with thinking and memory (sometimes called "fibro fog") Painful menstrual periods and other pain syndromes Fibromyalgia affects an estimated three to six million people in the United States
The following criteria are used to give a medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome: widespread pain in all four quadrants of the body lasting for at least three months, tenderness in at least 11 of the 18 specified tender points, generalized aches or stiffness of at least three anatomical sites for at least three months, and exclusion of other disorders that are known to cause similar symptoms.

CELLFOOD® is a proprietary blend of oxygen and 129 minerals, amino acids, and enzymes available in over 70 countries and distributed by Lumina Health Products. Lumina Health Products identifies, develops, markets and distributes cutting-edge health supplements to a rapidly growing base of natural food retailers, health professionals and clinics throughout the U. S., Canada, and around the world.

The University of Siena is one of Italy's oldest and most esteemed public universities, particularly known for its Schools of Medicine and Law.

Michelle Schoffro Cook, DNM, DAc, CNC, is the best-selling author of The 4-Week Ultimate Body Detox Plan, The Ultimate pH Solution and her newest book, The Life Force Diet.
