Innovative GreenWashBall Ushers in Next Generation of Eco-Friendly and Economical Laundry Solution

The next generation in clothes washing is eco-friendly, cost effective, and designed to protect the user’s health. The innovative GreenWashBall eliminates the need for clothing detergent in an environmentally sustainable way, while safeguarding clothes.

(PRWEB) October 20, 2008 -–

The revolutionary new product by the GreenWashBall (http://www. greenwashball. com/) is a healthy, cost-effective way to help preserve the ecosystem by eliminating the need for laundry detergent. Scientifically designed to protect users’ health, the GreenWashBall cleans clothes efficiently and safely without chemicals or dyes.

It also reduces the risk of allergic reaction to detergent, eliminates bad odors and germs, and safeguards linens from bleaching. With a pH balance of 10 (roughly the same as traditional laundry detergent), the GreenWashBall treats grease, organic and chemical stains, yielding clean and healthy laundry.

The highly effective GreenWashBall (http://www. greenwashball. com/howitworks. html) contains Chlorine Exclusion Balls that work to remove residual chlorine in water and prevent fabrics from oxidizing and changing color due to chlorine, thus protecting the life and elasticity of clothes. Powerful antimicrobial action removes all molds and pathogenic coliform bacilli in the washing machine, leaving behind odorless and clean residue.

With a lifespan of three years, use of the GreenWashBall guarantees great savings on clothes detergent and fabric softener. Powerful remote infrared rays emitted by the GreenWashBall ceramics break the hydrogen molecules of water to increase molecular movement, while improving washing capabilities.

The reusable, half pound GreenWashBall (http://www. greenwashball. com/howtouse. html) eliminates germs and weakens the adherence of dirt on fabric so that it is easily removed without the use of chemicals or detergent. Users need only toss GreenWashBall into each load of white or colored-clothing laundry and proceed as normal. For maximum longevity, do not leave the GreenWashBall in the washing machine. Rather, place it in the sunlight for at least an hour a week.

GreenWashBall can be used to clean and wash any type of clothing, including delicate garments. Simply let clothes soak for an hour with GreenWashBall before washing. Additionally, the remarkable product can also be used in the refrigerator to maintain the freshness of fruits, vegetables, and meats.

Natural Whispers Celebrates Grand Opening of Online Store

Natural Whispers Celebrates Grand Opening of Online Store

Aromatherapy and High Quality Essential Oils Made With Authentic Ingredients Only, Personalized Consultations Available

Clearlake, CA (PRWEB) January 9, 2006

Natural Whispers, providers of aromatherapy solutions with a personal touch, today announced the grand opening of its online store, NaturalWhispers. com. The web-based aromatherapy center released a range of new top-of-the-line luxurious aromatherapy all-natural essential oil products to celebrate the opening.

Most commercial products use only low-grade "aroma grade" or "fragrance grade" oils due to the significant cost of authentic essential oils but they sacrifice effectiveness in the process. True medical or aromatherapy grade essential oils are expensive, difficult to find, require training to handle properly, and do not stay fresh for years on end in warehouses, as lesser oils do. They are, however, the only scientifically supported effective ingredients for use in aromatherapy and alternative medicine purposes.

Natural Whispers provides not only unprecedented quality of ingredients and expert application through a range of specially created, genuine aromatherapy-quality products, but even true personalized service for clients through a new "consultation service". Clients discuss their problem, the solution they would like to see, and relevant health and medical histories, and Natural Whispers will provide professional recommendations on the best way to apply its products to maximum effect.

"I wasn’t happy with the quality and effectiveness of the aromatherapy products and essential oils I had to work with at first," said Sarah Menefee, founder of Natural Whispers. "My clients deserve and demand true therapy-grade aromatherapy products to address their mental, emotional or physical well being, and after long months finding the best available ingredients, Natural Whispers now offers individuals a real alternative to the low-end, ineffective aromatherapy products normally offered to the mass market."

For additional information on Natural Whispers’ line of luxury, medical-grade aromatherapy products, visit www. naturalwhispers. com. Aromatherapy should be used in conjunction with, not in lieu of, proper medical attention for medical problems.

About Natural Whispers:

Natural Whispers provides personalized aromatherapy consultation as well as top quality aromatherapy products. Natural Whispers uses only pure therapeutic-grade essential oils and the best raw materials available. Partnering with Natural Whispers allows high end salons and shoppes to offer their customers shelf products with quality and branding that meet their needs and their customers’ discerning tastes.

When It's Time to Ditch the Diaper

When It's Time to Ditch the Diaper

"Diapers Are Not Forever is a terrific tool for toddlers and parents to approach the toilet training process. As a pediatrician and parent, I am thrilled to recommend this helpful new resource."--Lawrence D. Rosen, MD; Chair, Integrative Pediatrics Council

Minneapolis, MN (Vocus) August 5, 2008

Giving up diapers--going potty like the big kids--can be exciting. But even for children who are ready to leave the diaper behind, it can also be an anxious and stressful time. Learning to use the potty takes patience and practice. Fortunately, there is much a loving parent or caregiver can do to help ease the transition to becoming diaper-free.

Diapers Are Not Forever (http://www. freespirit. com/catalog/item_detail. cfm? ITEM_ID=618) (Free Spirit Publishing, $7.95) offers reassuring words and fun illustrations to help make reaching this milestone as easy as possible. This straightforward book helps children feel confident about giving up diapers, learn to recognize the need to "go," and take pride in their accomplishment when they are successful. It also includes basic hygiene in kid-friendly terms, part and parcel of successful potty training.

A "Tips for Parents and Caregivers (http://www. freespirit. com/catalog/item_detail. cfm? ITEM_ID=618)" section at the back of the book provides practical advice from children's health specialists on not rushing a child who isn't ready for the potty, finding motivators, watching for signs of readiness, and creating concrete strategies for easing the transition. "The book doesn't tell parents that there is a specific age for toilet training. That's a personal decision based on child and parent readiness," says author Elizabeth Verdick. "But when parents feel the time is right, Diapers Are Not Forever is a tool that helps young children prepare for this milestone and empowers them to give the potty a try."

Diapers Are Not Forever is the latest addition to Free Spirit's popular Best Behavior™ series. Books in the series have received awards from Dr. Toy, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Creative Child magazine, iParenting Media, Parents' Choice, The National Parenting Center, and more.

When little ones are ready to have "underwear under there" instead of diapers, Diapers Are Not Forever will help them on their way.

Excerpts and interviews are available through Free Spirit Publishing.

New Coral Reef Book Reveals the Missing Link in the Health of the Earth's Most Ancient and Biodiverse Ecosystem

New Coral Reef Book Reveals the Missing Link in the Health of the Earth's Most Ancient and Biodiverse Ecosystem

Internationally acclaimed and award-winning scientist tells the untold story of coral reefs that has puzzled investigators for decades by illuminating the interrelationships among the sharks, the microbes and the corals.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2010

For millennia, coral reefs have flourished as one of the planet’s most magnificent natural wonders. As Earth's most biodiverse ecosystem–surpassing even the rainforests–they are home to a cooperative network ranging from immense fish to sunlight-capturing algae to invisible microbes. CORAL REEFS IN THE MICROBIAL SEAS is the first book to unveil the complete picture of how these relationships uphold coral reef health and just how critical the unseen role of microbes are on this ecosystem.

Internationally acclaimed and award-winning scientist Forest Rohwer tells the untold story of coral reefs that has puzzled investigators for decades by illuminating the interrelationships among the sharks, the microbes and the corals and how disturbances such as human activity challenge this delicate balance. Written with accessible prose and compelling illustrations, “this book brilliantly captures the lives of both coral reefs and the scientists that study them. It is a 21st century version of the Log from the Sea of Cortez – full of wisdom and humor,” praises Nancy Knowlton, Ph. D., Sant Chair in Marine Science at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

CORAL REEFS IN THE MICROBIAL SEAS is published by Plaid Press, a subsidiary of Plaid Multimedia that specializes in scientific communication. The book is available online through Amazon and Barnes&Noble. Wholesale purchase is available through Ingram’s booklist.

About the Author
Forest Rohwer is a world-renowned marine microbial ecologist. For over 20 years, he has been diving and researching coral reefs, unraveling the mystery of their recent decline. He has authored more than 90 scientific papers and has been named a Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Canadian Institute of Advanced Research (CIFAR).

This 64-page gift cookbook is beautifully designed and illustrated with a whimsical flair of the blue crab recipes. It has a four-color cover and the interior is soft peach color pages complete with illustrations.
