Saluting 16 Heroes in Women’s Health in Honor of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence











SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2011

These advocates are being saluted for their ground-breaking work in GBV health education and intervention, reproductive or maternal health care, HIV/AIDS prevention, and services in post-conflict situations and natural disasters. The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence (November 25 – December 10, 2011) is a worldwide campaign that calls for the elimination of all forms of violence against women.

From Dr. Bogaletch Gebre, who grew up in a rural Ethiopian village and later opened the first clinic in Ethiopia to improve women’s health, economic empowerment and education, to Sebastiana Vasquez Gomez, a midwife who trains birth attendants in Chiapas, Mexico, and Dr. Claudia Garcia-Moreno, chief of women’s health for the World Health Organization, these extraordinary individuals and organizations will be featured for 16 days on the Futures website, as well as in ongoing social media. Honorees will also be recognized at the National Conference on Health and Domestic Violence in San Francisco, CA, March 29-31, 2012.

“Gender based violence (GBV) is a health care problem of epidemic proportions that can impact women and girls for the rest of their lives,” says Esta Soler, Founder and President of Futures Without Violence “Both here and abroad, victims of abuse are at risk for debilitating injuries, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS. That’s why we’d like to take the opportunity to salute just a few of the outstanding individuals and organizations who are using healthcare, advocacy, community organizing and policy reform to end this cycle and meet the needs of women all over the world.”

Among the groups and individuals being recognized for their work during the 16-day campaign are:


    Buklod Center and Nagkakaisang Kababaihan – Philippines: The sister organizations have provided multi-purpose assistance to victims and survivors of military sexual exploitation and trafficking within former US naval/military bases in the “red light” districts of Olongapo City and Angeles City.

Ameritox Joins Hero Health Hire to Promote Employment of Disabled Veterans

Ameritox Joins Hero Health Hire to Promote Employment of Disabled Veterans










Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) November 13, 2011

AmeritoxSM announced today that it has joined Hero Health Hire, a coalition of companies and other entities in the health care industry that are united with the goal of employing disabled veterans. Launched in Washington, D.C., at an industry summit that included the U.S. Secretary of Labor, members of Congress, and representatives of a number of government agencies and the military, Hero Health Hire includes companies, associations, and hospitals from across the spectrum of health care that collectively employ thousands of employees. Each has committed to working to help veterans find and retain jobs in health care.

“Ameritox is proud to be part of this important, united effort to help disabled veterans secure meaningful job opportunities,” said David Mack, vice president of human resources at Ameritox, the nation’s leader in Pain Medication Monitoring Solutions ®. “Veterans have a lot to offer Ameritox and other companies – they are dedicated workers, with unique backgrounds and skill sets.”

Each month, tens of thousands of “Wounded Warriors” – brave men and women in our military who have been injured or become ill during service – transition out of the military only to struggle as disabled veterans in the civilian workforce. For many, they may be interviewing for a job or writing a resume for the first time, unsure of how military skills and experiences might translate or what accommodations may be needed for transition to a civilian workplace.

The health care industry – including insurers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers and hospital networks – is considered the fastest growing industry in our economy, requiring talented individuals to help meet multi-generational health care needs. The industry is also uniquely positioned to understand and support the needs of our nation’s Wounded Warriors.

Hero Health Hire unites the health care industry with government agencies and the military to understand and eliminate the barriers to employment facing Wounded Warriors, as well as developing ways to the support them in their transition.

Retired Maj. Gen. Elder Granger joins Hero Health Hire

The Hero Health Hire initiative also recently announced that retired Maj. Gen. Elder Granger, M.D., has been named honorary chairman of the initiative. Granger, currently co-founder and president of The 5Ps LLC, served the military for 37 years, most recently as deputy director of TRICARE Management Activity for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. In his role, Granger will provide valuable insights as partner companies establish their internal programs, serve as a liaison to the military community to help raise awareness about the program, and provide additional support as the program expands.

“I am honored to join the Hero Health Hire initiative and help our nation’s disabled veterans and all veterans find meaningful employment opportunities with America’s leading health care businesses,” said Granger. “Hero Health Hire comes at a critical time for our veterans, and I look forward to working with these businesses to recruit more disabled veterans and assist them in their transition.”

About Hero Health Hire:

Hero Health Hire, founded in 2011, is a coalition of health care industry organizations dedicated to helping disabled veterans obtain and maintain positions within the workforce that are well-suited to their skills, presenting professional, financial and personal stability for them and their families into the future.

For the Self-Employed, Obtaining Health Insurance Just Got Easier Thanks to SelfHealthInsurance.com

For the Self-Employed, Obtaining Health Insurance Just Got Easier Thanks to SelfHealthInsurance.com











(PRWEB) August 17, 2011

For the Self-Employed, Obtaining Health Insurance Just Got Easier Thanks to SelfHealthInsurance.com

In today’s world of ever-increasing costs for health care, it becomes more important to have adequate health insurance coverage with each passing day. While most workers obtain at least partial health insurance coverage through their employers, individuals who choose to work for themselves must bear the entire cost of health insurance for their family – a cost which can quickly spiral into thousands of dollars per year.

While numerous studies have shown that self-employed workers report fewer work-related stresses than those that make the commute in to their workplace each day, this hasn’t held true when it comes to health insurance. According to the guide released today by SelfHealthInsurance.com entitled Health Insurance for the Self-Employed, the high cost of private health insurance is one of the most significant obstacles facing self-employed workers, including contractors, freelancers and teleworkers.

‘Hope is Not Lost’ for Self-Employed Workers with No Health Insurance

Finding health insurance that’s both affordable and provides a decent level of coverage is critical for self-employed workers. Without health insurance coverage, even the most simple accidents or injuries can lead to huge medical treatment costs that will have to be paid out of pocket. On average, health care and medical costs across the United States grew 9 percent in 2010, with growth expected to be at least as high as this in 2011. Currently, around 42 percent of employers have some form of health insurance co-payment arrangement with their employees – a benefit that self-employed workers cannot rely on.

All hope is not lost for the thousands of self-employed workers who currently lack health insurance coverage. According to spokesman James Shaffer, “Even though self-employed workers do not have the leverage or employee count to earn significant price breaks on health insurance, there are still a number of affordable options on the market which can provide a high level of coverage to those who are self-employed.” SelfHealthInsurance.com is “…committed to assisting individuals who need health insurance,” said Shaffer, continuing that “health insurance is possible for all self-employed workers – not just those who make a lot of money.”

The SelfHealthInsurance.com guide also lists a number of health insurance coverage types that are applicable to individuals who are self-employed. Many workers fall victim to the misnomer that the best health insurance covers every possible scenario; as this guide shows, there are different types of coverage that are applicable to self-employed workers, and it may be worth trying to put together a custom, cost-effective insurance plan.

Affordable Health Insurance Options for Self-Employed Workers are Available

As this new guide proves, self health insurance is not the only means for self-employed workers to gain access to health insurance coverage. The guide lists a number of tips for workers on how to track down affordable health insurance options, including how to leverage the health insurance provisions in the federal government’s COBRA Act of 1985, and how to make use of existing health insurance options that are provided through professional and other membership organizations.

Self-employed workers and others with questions about health insurance coverage can visit SelfHealthInsurance.com for more information about health insurance and tips on how to find premium coverage at the best prices.

Fresh Fruit Goes Out of Season … Your Health Never Does

Fresh Fruit Goes Out of Season … Your Health Never Does










Bellaire, MI (PRWEB) September 25, 2007

Antioxidant-rich fruit is abundant during the warm summer months, however with cooler fall weather approaching, finding fresh fruit is becoming more difficult. Until recently, one remedy for those looking to enjoy the antioxidant-rich benefits of fruit during the fall and winter months was to wait until the spring harvest. However, the wait is now over.

Fruit Advantage, a Michigan-based company, has solved this seasonal fruit dilemma and now offers a complete line of fruit-based supplements so you can enjoy the natural, antioxidant health benefits of fruit year round.

Studies show that fruit contains many natural health benefits. Due to advances in food technology, we are only just beginning to discover the many health secrets Mother Nature has placed in simple everyday fruit. In fact, in early 2005, the U.S.D.A. revealed the updated version of the food pyramid that suggests five to nine daily servings of fruit and vegetables.

So why is fruit becoming first choice for those wanting to enjoy and active and healthy lifestyle? The answer is simple. Fruit is a great-tasting, antioxidant-rich food that offers unique health benefits specific to the underlying fruit. For example, tart cherries can help maintain healthy joints*; wild blueberries can help support brain function*; while pomegranates can assist in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system*. All of these health benefits and more are available in the Fruit Advantage line of fruit-based supplements.

Fruit Advantage offers 5 proprietary fruit-based formulas, each offering the synergistic and natural health benefits of the underlying fruit. In fact, Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry delivers 1200mg of tart cherry in each daily serving to assist with maintaining healthy joint function*. This equals the specific antioxidant value of over 5 glasses of tart cherry juice without the sugar.

The company also offers the following fruit-supplement formulas: Fruit Advantage Pomegranate, Fruit Advantage Wild Blueberry, Fruit Advantage Cranberry and Fruit Advantage Cherry Prime. Each formula is made using the skin and pulp of the underlying fruit, laboratory tested, has a certificate of analysis and tested for heavy metals.

According the Andy LaPointe, Director of Marketing with Fruit Advantage, “today’s active and hectic lifestyles, combined with the seasonality of fruit, may inhibit individuals the ability the fully enjoy fresh fruit on a daily basis, however, Fruit Advantage offers an excellent way of supplementing your daily intake of fruit-based antioxidants.”

In addition, to the Fruit Advantage fruit-based supplements, the company also offers Montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate and a complete line of dried fruit including dried tart cherries and wild blueberries. Contact Fruit Advantage toll-free at 1-877-746-7477 or visit the websites at http://www.fruitadvantage.com or http://www.traversebayfarms.com

Family Health Concerns Inspire Consumers to ?Clean Green”: Maid Brigade Pioneers Green Cleaning Industry and Introduces Leading Edge Green Technology

Family Health Concerns Inspire Consumers to “Clean Green”: Maid Brigade Pioneers Green Cleaning Industry and Introduces Leading Edge Green Technology











Atlanta (PRWEB) November 11, 2010

There is mounting evidence that many cleaning products contain chemicals that are known or suspected carcinogens, reproductive toxins, neurotoxins, or irritants to the skin, eyes, lungs, kidneys or other organs. Children have been identified as the most susceptible to health problems resulting from chemical exposures. As a result, today’s consumers are taking a somber look at the approaches, products, equipment and technology used to clean their homes, according to consumer surveys conducted by Maid Brigade, an innovator in cleaning and consumer health advocacy for more than 25 years.

Maid Brigade consumer research found that 53 percent of survey participants say they would hire a green cleaning service as opposed to a traditional service with 77 percent who say they would choose a green alternative over a traditional cleaning product. Their main concern? Fifty-one percent say they would or do use green products to protect their family’s health.

Based on this information, Maid Brigade developed Green Clean Certified® standards and a training program for all Maid Brigade cleaning team members that ensures the healthiest cleaning methods available are being used consistently. This includes being the first household cleaning services company to introduce VapurClean® Advantage, a dry steam vapor cleaning method that utilizes absolutely no chemicals as part of the cleaning process. The company is testing this revolutionary new technology in select markets across the U.S. This green cleaning approach penetrates deep within the surface pores where germs hide and multiply, killing them on contact, and is proven effective against MRSA, avian and swine flues, salmonellas, e.Coli, staph and other infectious diseases.

When contemplating hiring a green cleaning services company, Maid Brigade suggests asking the following five questions to protect the health of today’s families and the environment.

1.    Does the company use cleaning solutions that are recognized and/or certified by Green Seal or a similar, specific or tangible standard? Ask for a list. The safest way to clean involves no chemicals and includes dry steam vapor treatments such as VapurClean™ Advantage offered by Maid Brigade in test markets nationwide.

2.    What about vacuums? Are they closed canister, multi-level filtration systems as opposed to conventional upright vacuum cleaners? This will ensure removal of 99.9 percent of all pollen, pet dander, hair, mold, dust, dust mites and other respiratory irritants, which are common asthma and allergy triggers.

3.    What about cleaning cloths? Are they reusable microfiber? The special scientific weave of microfiber is so effective that fewer cleaning chemicals are necessary. Do they reduce landfill waste or manufacturing processes? Do they include post-consumer recycled material or organically grown material?

4.    What about staff training? Does the staff undergo formal training and certification to properly use green products and procedures? What assurances are provided that every cleaning adheres to these standards? Programs such as Maid Brigade’s Green Clean Certified® program requires all of its franchisees and their cleaning teams to study and become certified because green house cleaning is better for consumer health, better for the maids and better for the environment.

5.    Has the company conducted tests to substantiate the health and/or environmental benefits of their total cleaning process? Are they consumer health and wellness advocates? Ask for proof.

“Providing a holistic green cleaning approach is imperative to ensuring every household has the safest and most effective cleaning possible,” commented Marie Stegner, consumer health advocate for Maid Brigade. “Make sure the cleaning services company you choose uses tested and proven methods such as Maid Brigade’s VapurClean® Advantage along with products and equipment that reflect the latest green science and have been tested for health and safety.”

About Maid Brigade

With more than 25 years of experience, Maid Brigade is the national leader in green cleaning practices and has a longstanding legacy of offering the latest in maid services and technologies. The company is the first and only Green Clean Certified® cleaning services franchise that implements a certification program for green house cleaning so customers know that they’re getting a green cleaning that is safe and truly green.

Health Expert Dr. David Friedman Discusses Power of Sea Vegetables on Recent Episode of ‘The Balancing Act’

Health Expert Dr. David Friedman Discusses Power of Sea Vegetables on Recent Episode of ‘The Balancing Act’













Sea Kelp, one of the four sea vegetables in Chews-4-Health chewable dietary supplements.


Wilmington, NC (Vocus) July 22, 2009

Many of the fruits and vegetables we eat today contain only a fraction of the nutrients they contained nearly 100 years ago, making it harder than ever to fully benefit from the nine servings recommended per day. Dr. David Friedman , health expert on Lifetime Television’s popular morning show, “The Balancing Act”, recently described this problem and offered a simple solution from an unexpected source.

“The fruits and vegetables of today are really different than the ones our grandparents ate,” explained Friedman on the July 20 episode of the show. “For instance, you would have to eat 26 apples today to equal the nutritional content of one apple from the year 1914, and eat 10 tomatoes to equal the nutritional content of one tomato from 1940.”

To find food that has not lost its nutritional content over time, Friedman recommends looking to the ocean.

“Sea vegetables contain over 70 whole food vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and have the same nutritional value as they did 100 years ago. Plus, sea vegetables do not contain the pesticides and chemicals often used in the cultivation of land-based fruits and vegetables,” he said.

Sea vegetables also contain the only natural vegetable source of Vitamin D on the planet, and are an excellent source of calcium. But how can we add these nutrient-rich sea vegetables to our daily diets?

“If you live in Asia these vegetables can be found in grocery stores, markets and restaurants nearly everywhere,” Friedman explained. “But for Americans, you primarily have to find them in supplements. This is why the supplement I formulated, Chews-4-Health , contains four mineral-rich sea vegetables–dulse, kelp, bladderwrack and nori. My research indicates they help nourish, strengthen and revitalize the body.”

Friedman is a renowned chiropractic physician and doctor of naturopathy, author of three books and creator of the best-selling CD, “America’s Unbalanced Diet.” The product he formulated is a delicious, natural, chewable dietary supplement derived from 16 of the world’s most nutrient-rich sources from land and sea.

Friedman’s health segments on “The Balancing Act” air on Lifetime Television, Monday mornings at 7 a.m. EST & PST / 6 a.m. CT / 5 a.m. MT.

About Chews-4-Health

Launched July of 2008, Chews-4-Health Inc. is headquartered in Wilmington, N.C., and its revolutionary product is now being sold in every major city in the USA and Canada. The company is led by CEO Dr. David Friedman, renowned chiropractic physician and doctor of naturopathy, and Health Expert for Lifetime Television’s weekly show “The Balancing Act.” The product Dr. Friedman formulated is a delicious, natural, chewable dietary supplement derived from 16 of the world’s most nutrient-rich sources from land and sea.
