Customers have been using Beauty by Earth’s Moroccan Argan Oil and are rave about its many uses and miraculous results they’ve been getting from the product. Here’s a little taste of what customers have been saying about using argan oil in their hair:

Benefits of Argan Oil as Hair Oil:

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for heat protection before styling hair

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for frizzy hair

* Use argan oil as shine serum

* Use argan oil as a deep conditioner for amazingly soft and manageable hair

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for curl definition

* Use argan oil as a hair protectant from the sun and pool

How to Use Argan Oil for Hair:
Leave-in Conditioner/After Washing – After the shower, while your hair is still wet, add a few drops of argan oil to your hair, ends and scalp to hydrate and moisturize. It’s especially nourishing if your hair is dry from daily use of a blow dryer, straight-iron or curling iron. Argan oil should be used each time your hair is washed and prior to being styled with a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron to protect against heat damage.

Hair Styling/Shine – Use as a styling product by adding a few drops of argan oil to the palms of your hand. Rub your hands together and run the palms of your hand over your hair, paying special attention to frizzy sections and hair ends.

Curl Definition for Curly/Ethnic Hair – Apply a few drops of argan oil to hair using your palm starting with the tips and working up to the scalp. Place hair in a slightly damp towel and squeeze curls without rubbing hair together resulting in more defined curls.

Deep Conditioning – Massage a generous amount of argan oil into your hair and scalp 30-60 minutes before showing (it can also be left in overnight). Use a comb or brush to ensure oil is evenly distributed from roots to tip. To enhance the effect of your hair, wrap your hair in a hot or warm towel. Deep conditioning with argan oil can be done weekly or more often for those with dry hair or a dry/itchy scalp.

Hair Protectant from Sun and Pool – Apply several drops of argan oil to your hair before hitting the pool or beach. This will help prevent sun and chlorine damage as well as protect against the dryness of salt water.

“I’ve used a LOT of Moroccan Oil/Argan oil products. I have long, thick, color-treated hair that frizzes, and this miracle oil is the only thing I’ve ever found to tame it. They all work, some better than others.

“I was given the opportunity to try this oil. I was sure I’d like it. I’m surprised to LOVE it. It’s quite different from the others. The first thing I did when I opened the bottle was sniff. I was actually surprised to find no smell–whatsoever. Honestly, I’ve gotten used to the “pleasant fragrance” of Moroccan oils, but sometimes it’s a bit overpowering, especially when combined with other fragrances (shampoo, conditioner, etc). This is PURE oil, no additives, and has no scent. I love that. Second, as it’s JUST OIL (instead of oil mixed with a list of unpronounceable synthetics), I soon learned that I have to use LESS. I put a dime-sized dollop in the palm of my hand and worked it into half of my hair like usual. I should have used that dime-sized dollop for my entire head of hair (did I mention my hair is THICK AND LONG). I was quite surprised by this. This bottle will really last.

“Finally, I did the usually styling after using the oil–blow dryer and curling iron. My curls look better–healthier, and they’re staying put even without hairspray.

“I’m so pleased with this product. I’ll definitely be back, and plan to make it part of my routine.” M.B.

Rewind: A Look Back to 2013 and Endoscopy Centers

Endoscopy Centers saw their fair share of impacts from the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Dallas, Texas, April 15, 2014 – With the close of 2013, Endoscopy Centers saw their fair share of impacts from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The developing business aspect of running an Endoscopy Center afforded a transition from basic “mom-and-pop” establishments to full-blown business opportunities.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Barry Tanner, CEO and President of Physician Endoscopy, Dr. Robert Leventhal, Medical Director at Naugatuck Valley Endoscopy Center, and Dr. Robert Donachie of Texas Endoscopy, LLC, expand on these changes and more of what took place in 2013.

“In 2013 we saw the M&A activity in the ASC space slow down after a busy and robust 2012,” Tanner said. “The activity appeared to be slower throughout the year however, for the transactions that did get done, the pricing remained relatively unchanged compared to 2012.”

According to Dr. Leventhal, the majority of that M&A activity had more to do with acquisitions.

Dr. Donachie echoed this sentiment, saying, “As far as acquiring other companies, some practices are starting to diversify into other niche practices. I would say that there’s a steady interest in the physicians in diversifying themselves in ownership.”

To read the full article, called “Endoscopy and 2013: A Look Back,” visit The Ambulatory M&A Advisor at www.ambulatoryadvisor.com.

Will ACA have an effect on your Ambulatory Surgery Center?

While concrete predictions are still difficult to make, the ACA has and will continue to impact the ASC market.

Dallas, Texas, April 13, 2014 – While concrete predictions are still difficult to make, the ACA has and will continue to impact the ASC market. In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Carol Lucas of Buchalter Nemer, Dr. Greg Horner of Tri-Valley Orthopedic Specialists Inc., and Matt Burnstein, attorney at Waller Landsen Dortch & Davis, comment on the subject.

An increase in patient volume as a result of the ACA, as well as declining reimbursement rates, has resulted in a trend in 2013 of health systems acquiring a majority interest in physician-owned centers.

“Health systems are partnering with specialty surgery center operators and are acquiring surgery centers while leaving physicians with a 49% interest to keep them invested in the center’s success,” Lucas said.

According to attorney Burnstein, this allows the health system to thereby acquire higher reimbursement.

Dr. Horner sees the increase in patient volume as the biggest opportunity for ASCs going forward.

“The rapid up-phase in volume will be in 2014 when people are signing up for new insurance plans,” Dr. Horner said. “ASCs should take advantage and prepare for that volume. You won’t realize the volume if you don’t have some way to get the word out, and physicians have to be active in doing so.”

Jeff Swearingen Weighs in on Consolidation in Anesthesiology Practices

Anesthesiology practices have entered into a growing trend of consolidation.

Dallas, Texas, April 13, 2014 – Anesthesiology practices have entered into a growing trend of consolidation. With more than 25 acquisitions of such practices within the last two years, this is a development that can be expected to continue.

Contributor for The Ambulatory M&A Advisor Jeff Swearingen explores this activity in For Anesthesiology Practice Groups, Consolidation is Here. Using current data and his own experience, he outlines the development and continuation of this trend.

“While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remains controversial, its impact on the delivery of healthcare services is significant and growing,” Swearingen explains. “Hospital administrators are responding by seeking to implement strategies that increase revenue or cut costs, while improving the quality and efficiency of the care that patients receive. This is having a major impact on the hospital business model and hospitals’ relationships with the hospital-based physician specialties, with anesthesiology at the forefront of these changes.”

The Ambulatory M&A Advisor features this and other articles pertaining to the most up-to-date and relevant M&A transaction related news affecting the Ambulatory Care Center industry. With contributions from industry healthcare lawyers, healthcare investment bankers, ambulatory center valuations professionals and owners operators and on-staff writer, the Advisor is bringing a new level of readily available information.

IAPAM Announces Next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale: May 17-18

The IAPAM announces its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: May 17-18 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (April 12, 2014) — Medical practices can thrive by adding non-insurance based services to their practices, such as botox, dermal fillers, anti-aging treatments (chemical peels/ microdermabrasion), lasers for hair removal/tattoo removal & non-invasive body sculpting, and medically supervised weight management. To educate physicians on how to profitably add these procedures to their practices, the IAPAM has spaces remaining at its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium: May 17-18 in Scottsdale, AZ.

There has been much talk in the physician community regarding Obamacare: the Affordable Care Act or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Many physicians are concerned about how this new program will impact the health of their patients and the health of their medical practices.

However, there is evidence that by adding minimally-invasive treatments, such as: botox, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, body contouring technologies (e.g. skin tightening, fat reduction), lasers for skin rejuvenation/tattoo removal/hair removal, and medically supervised weight management programs (e.g. the hCG Diet), the income of a practice will increase, since payments for these treatments are made directly and immediately to the clinic.

Therefore, to provide physicians seeking both clinical and business training in adding these aesthetic modalities, the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine ( IAPAM ) designed its Aesthetic Medicine Symposium to give physicians ALL the information, physician resources, patient materials, practice tools (e.g. editable consent forms, etc.), clinical DVDs, and industry-leading didactic and hands-on training, that they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference.

The IAPAM is the only complete education program that offers:

• An Accelerated program: physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;
• Clinical training DVDs to take back to one’s practice;
• Board Certified Dermatologists as instructors;
• Internationally Recognized Certification;
• CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits;
• 1 Year of comprehensive Practice Support (which continues as long as one is a member);
• And much, much, more!

“The IAPAM has noticed a sharp increase in the registrations for its cosmetic procedures, hands-on, CME training programs like botox/fillers, lasers, microdermabrasion, and non-invasive body shaping; along with its medically supervised weight loss program, all of which are not insurance-covered procedures, and which are in demand by a majority of physicians’ existing patients,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com).

For more information on the IAPAM’s May 17-18, 2014 Symposium with Botox Training, watch this comprehensive video at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw or to register for the May 17-18 Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 x704.

Beauty By Earth Organic Argan Oil is on Sale

Beauty by Earth Announces Price Reduction on 100% Pure Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil

Frisco, TX, April 11, 2014 – Beauty by Earth recently released a new product – Certified Organic Argan Oil. Demand for the product through the Amazon Marketplace has taken off and many customers now using Argan Oil have posted reviews expressing their excitement – both in the results they’re getting and the fact of being able to replace other chemical-filled products with Organic Argan Oil.

Beauty by Earth is now offering its 4 Ounce bottle of Organic Argan Oil for only $27.99 in the Amazon Marketplace. The product is also available with Free Shipping for customers with Amazon Prime memberships. Here is a little taste of some of the reviews that have been received:

“I love how non-greasy the oil feels and it seems to moisturize really well. I use it on my heels, and around nails on hands and feet. I have really noticed improvement in dry skin there. I also applied to knees and hands, and it absorbs really well and doesn’t leave any greasy residue. I heard a lot of good feedback about properties of Argan oil and a lot of my favorite products have it in them, so now I am trying it in its pure form. What I also really love is the bottle it comes in – it has a very convenient long glass dispenser, so you don’t need to get a bunch of oil all over you while pouring out of a hole in plastic, like other products I have tried. You can target the problem areas and apply only there. Thus it goes a long way, since you use only as much as you need. I also plan on using on my hair and face as a night moisturizer. 🙂 Oh, and it came with a super yummy lip balm, I love that it actually has almost eatable taste and it moisturizes lips super well.” – O.M.

“An amazing product! Highly recommended. I had no idea something so simple and so pure could have such immediate and positive effects on the human skin. For decades I’ve been a regular consumer of high-end, high-priced skin products with all sorts of complex ingredients and empty promises. I have spent many hundreds finding the right moisturizer for my “oily but dry” skin and have to keep spending more as they use up so easily. It doesn’t seem possible that an oil from nature could outdo what scientists have been trying to create–the perfect skin moisturizer. 3 small drops of this oil rubbed on my face after showering and I’m good for the rest of the day. I found that it absorbs in easily and my skin feels fresh all day. Even with daily use, this bottle will last a long, long time. So glad I found this product and am recommending it to others.” – J.R.

Argan Oil – A One Ingredient Organic Beauty Product that Works Head to Toe

Beauty by Earth launches a new product – 100% Pure Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil

Frisco, TX, April 04, 2014 – Beauty by Earth has recently launched its first product – Certified Organic Argan Oil. Argan Oil, commonly referred to as “liquid gold” is an extremely versatile product. Our Argan Oil restores the natural freshness and adds to the softness of the skin and face. It makes the hair strong by easily penetrating into the roots and feeding them with nutritional components. Rich in vitamin E, 80% of the Argan Oil consists of natural fatty acids and omega 6, it is a natural method of combating prematurely aging skin.

Not only is our Argan Oil affordable and versatile, it is also extra virgin and of the highest quality. Our Argan Oil is organically produced in Morocco and has obtained the USDA Organic Seal, providing our customers with complete confidence in its quality.

Argan Oil is a popular choice amongst people looking for all-natural and organic skin and hair care products.

Argan Oil can do wonders on the skin. It is rich in antioxidants so it has the ability to regress the signs of aging. Its restorative and anti-aging advantages have been a major reason in the increased demand for this product.

When applied to the skin, Argan oil can eliminate wrinkles and other skin degenerations. The presence of unsaturated fatty acids and squalene make it very effective in fighting free radicals that cause skin to appear aged.

Argan Oil helps cure many unwanted skin conditions and is a great solution for all skin types. It helps freshen, soften and hydrate dry skin more than any other cosmetic product or cream. Argan oil has the ability to diminish and eliminate stretch marks, acne scars and blemishes. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is an effective treatment for acne, chicken pox, eczema and psoriasis.

Argan oil is considered particularly beneficial for use on hair. The many benefits of using Argan oil for hair include increased health, shine, and manageability of your locks. Applications of Argan oil are versatile, and accommodate a variety of lifestyles, hair types, and personal preferences. Some popular ways to use Argan oil for hair include its use in treating frizz, as a shine serum, deep conditioner and for curl definition.

Although Beauty by Earth’s Argan Oil is new to the market, it is selling out quickly and our customers are already sharing stories of improved hair and skin conditions:

“I have tried a lot of oils and moisturizers to help heal my skin after pregnancy, but nothing has worked–until now! After I had my baby, my skin felt like it had been stretched beyond repair and I thought it would always look thin and papery. I am happy to say, I was wrong! After just a few weeks of using this oil once a day, my skin is tight again and well on its way to looking better than ever! I am SO happy with this product. Other stretch mark creams I tried were full of toxins, and many of them were goopy and stinky so I always felt icky after putting them on. This oil feels amazing as you put it on, has a very light natural smell, and is absorbed quickly by your skin, so it doesn’t feel sticky so you can get dressed after you put it on. Fantastic. I will for sure be ordering more” – J.S.

We urge customers to give our Argan Oil a try and find out for themselves just how great this product truly is. Click here to buy Argan Oil, available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Certified-Organic-Highest-Quality/dp/B00I134Y82/ie=UTF8?m=A17119QUPKBK8A&keywords=argan+oil

We will be creating a series of videos on different uses of our Argan Oil product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4lmrnfF50Q

21 March 2014 marks the 9th anniversary of World Down Syndrome Day and each year the voice of people with Down syndrome, and those who live and work with them, grows louder. But there is still so much more we can do.

For WDSD 2014, SDDS is focusing on:

“Health and Wellbeing – Access and Equality for All”

All people with Down syndrome have the right to access healthcare when required on an equal basis with others without discrimination and with proper assessment of the specific health needs of the individual. We will be highlighting that:

Having Down syndrome does not make a person unhealthy.

Down syndrome is a genetic condition, not an illness.

People with Down syndrome may have health issues throughout their lives, just like everyone else and they should have access to healthcare on an equal basis with others.

There are specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome, for which accurate, evidence based information is available.

Health professionals should be aware of these specific issues when treating a person with Down syndrome.

Health professionals should not discriminate against people with Down syndrome by:

refusing to treat them;

blaming health issues on Down syndrome in general, or;

considering only specific known health issues which may affect people with Down syndrome.

Whatever you plan to do, lets create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome on 21 March.
