Eating Recovery Center Raises Awareness of Eating Disorders in “Nontraditional” Groups During NEDAW

Men, Older Women and Children are Increasingly Developing the Deadliest Mental Illness

Denver, CO, February 21, 2012 – Four in 10 Americans have either suffered from or know someone who has suffered from an eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. During National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (February 26-March 3), Eating Recovery Center (www.EatingRecoveryCenter.com), an international center for eating disorders recovery, highlights eating disorders’ pervasive impact on Americans of all ages and genders.

“A classic misconception of eating disorders is that they are a teenage girls’ disease, when in fact, we are seeing more older women, younger children and men of all ages entering treatment,” said Kenneth L. Weiner, MD, FAED, CEDS, founding partner, chief executive officer and chief medical officer of Eating Recovery Center. “Genetic risk factors and environmental triggers for these diseases don’t discriminate based on age or gender.”

The 2012 National Eating Disorders Awareness Week theme is “Everybody Knows Somebody,” which is truer now more than ever, as eating disorders and body image dissatisfaction continue to experience what experts term “epidemiological drift,” which is marked by a condition’s swift growth in incidence in new populations.

Older women: Eating Recovery Center has seen a marked increase in older women seeking treatment for eating disorders. From 2010 to 2011, admissions of women over the age of 30 increased from 27 percent of total admissions to 33 percent of total admissions. In the same timeframe, admissions of women over the age of 40 increased from 13 percent of total admissions to 15 percent of total admissions.

Men: A recent British study shows that more than 80 percent of men regularly engage in conversation about their bodies, that three in five men are unhappy with their muscularity and that more than one-third of men would trade a year of their life to achieve their ideal body weight or shape.

Younger children: From 1999 to 2006, hospitalizations for eating disorders increased sharply – 119 percent – for children younger than 12 years of age, according to recent analysis by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

“It’s important to be aware that eating disorders can happen to anyone—men, older women and younger children,” continued Dr. Weiner. “Do not discount disordered eating behaviors or concerning body image issues just because they are displayed by an individual believed to be outside of the traditional ‘eating disorder demographic.’”

Eating Recovery Center encourages individuals to quickly respond if they notice troubling food- or body image-oriented behaviors in their loved ones, regardless of age or gender. Eating disorders recovery is entirely possible with early intervention and proper treatment from qualified professionals.

If you notice troubling behaviors in an adult friend or loved one, find a quiet time and place for a private, respectful meeting to discuss your concerns; and ask if he or she has considered whether or not he or she may have an eating disorder. While you continue to express your support, offer to help your friend or loved seek treatment.

If you notice troubling behaviors in your child or adolescent, engage your child in conversation and speak to what you have noticed instead of making accusations; visit a medical provider if you are concerned about your child’s physical health; and identify a mental health provider for an eating disorders assessment.

Australian Natural Healthcare Company to list on Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Australian natural healthcare company Rapid Nutrition has announced its intention to list on the Deutsche Börse’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Nerang, Queensland, February 20, 2012 – Rapid Nutrition, whose flagship product Leisa’s Secret, a set of scientifically formulated weight loss and maintenance supplements, has already achieved considerable success both in Australia and overseas.

The company’s managing director, Simon St Ledger, says Rapid Nutrition is now in a position to be able to list on an exchange, and the Deutsche Börse offered the best option for international expansion.

“Rapid Nutrition’s listing will provide the necessary capital to support our international expansion plans, particularly into our target market in the United States,” Mr St Ledger says.

“The Deutsche Börse is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalisation and provides access to a global market.

“It will also give us access to a much larger consumer base so all these factors make it an attractive option to become a publicly listed company.”

Rapid Nutrition has appointed corporate advisors Stepping Stone Equity to complete the listing process in conjunction with a German market maker to list through the exchange’s entry standard.

Mr St Ledger says Rapid Nutrition successful and profitable track record over the past 10 years has enabled it to build a sizeable export market with registration, contracts and sales within several key regions through the Middle East, Asia and Europe, however liquidity in the company is required for further expansion.

“While we have achieved considerable domestic and international success to date, we are now focussing our energies on the US market which will give us a far greater opportunity to further our expansion plans,” Mr St Ledger says.

“We are already well underway with negotiations for a number of partner agreements and distribution channels in this market.

“Our listing strategy will provide us with both the capital and opportunities to continue our research and development and expansion of our product range and help to secure our place as a dominant player in the health and wellbeing industry worldwide.”

The listing proposal will be presented to Rapid Nutrition shareholders for final approval in the coming weeks with the aim of a company roll up into a UK based public limited company to be completed soon after.

2011 Statistics Confirm that Botox Training Helps Physicians Capture Industry’s 5% Growth

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 18, 2012) — The IAPAM offers physicians aesthetic training, the leading botox ® training, hCG training, and associated aesthetic medicine education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, medical microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels). The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive medical spa training, including: hands on, live demonstration and didactic instruction in all 5 of the top non-invasive procedures and offers unparalleled business support to physicians as they build successful aesthetic medical practices and capture the reported 5% growth in the minimally-invasive market in 2011.

“With these economic times, more people are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures. They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of Botox ® and dermal fillers, then can get a great result at a fraction of the price,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). As evidenced in 2011 statistical reports, patients agree. In the recent report from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), minimally-invasive procedures increased for the second year in a row by 5 percent in 2011, with nearly 13.8 million procedures being performed, and “minimally-invasive procedures increased 6 percent, with nearly 12.2 million procedures in 2011.”

As in 2010, in 2011, the top five minimally-invasive procedures were:

• Botulinum toxin type A (5.7 million procedures, up 5 percent)
• Soft tissue fillers (1.9 million procedures, up 7 percent)
• Chemical peel (1.1 million procedures, down 3 percent)
• Laser hair removal (1.1 million procedures, up 15 percent)
• Microdermabrasion (900,000 procedures, up 9 percent)

“We are seeing notable increases in surgical procedures, such as facelifts, that reflect the demands of an aging boomer population,” said Dr. Malcolm Z. Roth, President of the ASPS. “However, the overall growth in cosmetic procedures is being primarily driven by a substantial rise in minimally-invasive procedures.”

Jeff Russell concurs with the findings of the aforementioned report. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox ® and other cosmetic injectables, medically supervised hCG weight loss (http://www.hcgtraining.com) as well as laser training, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our cornerstone training program, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), has steadily increased in the last 6 months. Physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians on how to package these treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

In line with these findings, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in training on these top 5 minimally invasive procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists who cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the Botox ® Training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility, not a hotel room chair. Physicians who have completed the IAPAM’s hCG Training, Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up training have a competitive advantage.

For more information on the IAPAM’s upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or hCG Training, please see http://www.iapam.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704.

IAPAM Reports that Botox Training Remains Popular

Las Vegas, Nevada (February 17, 2012) — The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums train physicians on how to safely, profitably and successfully add botox ®, hCG for weight loss, and other aesthetic modalities (lasers for skin rejuvenation, medical microdermabrasion and medical-grade chemical peels) to an existing medical practice. The IAPAM helps physicians enter this lucrative market by offering the industry’s best botox ® training and hCG training. To date, all of the 2011 and the January 2012 Aesthetic Medicine Symposium events have sold out.

Since 2006, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) has offered physicians a competitive advantage through its comprehensive, hands-on, immersion into the field of aesthetic medicine and cosmetic injectables. The IAPAM’s (http://www.iapam.com) Symposium with Botox Training, is the only program which gives physicians a hands-on opportunity to learn from two board-certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables. In order to ensure physicians learn the best injection techniques, the botox ® training is done in a medical practice, not in a hotel room chair. In addition, the Symposium does not allow exhibitors, giving physicians more time for education.

Physicians who attend the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium can revisit their educational experience by using the IAPAM’s 19 comprehensive training DVDs. The 3 clinical DVDs offers focused instruction and demonstrations on Botulinum Toxin (Botox ®) Injection Techniques, Dermal Filler Injection Techniques, Chemical Peel Techniques, and Microdermabrasion Techniques. These DVDs cover three key anti-aging treatment areas:

1. Botulinum Toxin for Cosmetic Patients lecture.
2. Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers for Cosmetic Patients – live demonstration.
3. Chemical Peel and Microdermabrasion live demonstration of techniques.

Equally, Symposium attendees receive 16 Cosmetic Practice training DVDs. These resources allow physicians and their staff to re-immerse themselves in the IAPAM’s training, at their convenience.

The popularity of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is consistent with the demand by physicians for expert and accredited cosmetic injectables training. Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM has witnessed the tremendous growth of minimally-invasive modalities. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox ®, dermal fillers as well as microdermabrasion continue to grow in demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in attendance at our Symposium with botox ® training. Moreover, physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, and organizations like the IAPAM educate physicians and their staff on how to package treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

Physicians Testify that IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training is an Exceptional Value

From its comprehensive hCG training to hands-on botox ® training, the first 2012 reviews from physicians for the IAPAM’s suite of training programs have been just been published. Physicians rate the IAPAM’s Botox ® Training and hCG Training as a “5 star value.”

Las Vegas, Nevada, February 15, 2012 — Unanimously, physicians rave about the physician-lead training provided at the IAPAM’s unique and respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) and the associated hCG Physician Training (http://www.hcgtraining.com). This is the only training in North America to offer hands-on, live demo and didactic instruction covering botox ® training, laser training, hCG training, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and the business of adding aesthetic medicine to a practice – all in one weekend.

The IAPAM’s (http://www.iapam.com) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other educational program offered in North America. No other program in the U.S. offers this combination of comprehensive training in all the minimally invasive modalities in 2 days. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM offers a suite of aesthetic medicine training programs from botox ® training to hCG training, along with aesthetic practice business training and membership in the IAPAM offers long term support to physicians adding botox ®, hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and other aesthetic medicine treatment to a practice. Finally, unlike programs offered by a private company, attendees of the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Reviews from physicians tell the story. Since 2006, over 1,000 physicians have taken the IAPAM’s aesthetic medicine training: Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, Physician hCG Medical Weight Management Training, Botox ® Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training, and in January 2012, here is what they have said:

iWonder Pro Enterprise Offers Device Surveillance and Management for Schools, Hospitals and Businesses for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Schools and businesses that issue iPad, iPhone or other iOS devices to their students or staff now have a way to control where those devices can go on the internet, monitor where they have been, and lock them down to only appropriate sites.

Life Record Technologies, creators of the consumer based iWonder Pro application to control and monitor children on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, releases the first enterprise level surveillance and control software for schools, hospitals and businesses.

“With the release of iBooks 2 featuring text book support by Apple Inc. its inevitable that schools will now start issuing iPads to students and staff as regularly as they issue text books today.”, says Michael Pike, Chief Software Architect of Life Record Technologies. “We’ve also noticed a lot of healthcare facilities deploying iPads to their staff, and our software allows all of the devices to be managed, observed and secured with ease.”

iWonder Pro Enterprise allows schools and businesses with as little as one iOS device, with up to 10,000 devices to manage them all in one place, including profiles to let certain types of users go to certain types of sites while restricting the others while using any Wifi or cellular network. iWonder Pro Enterprise is the first and only enterprise level surveillance system designed specifically for iOS.

iWonder Pro Enterprise is available now in the Apple App Store starting at $99.99.

JTX Fitness Launch Range of Home Fitness Accessories

It has been a case of ‘battening down the hatches’ for health and fitness clubs in the UK over the last few years as consumers look to cut back their spending says Mintel in their latest ‘ Health and Fitness Clubs, UK’ report. While health clubs have seen business decline or stay relatively flat private health club enthusiasts have turned to training at home and public leisure centres.

With a third of the UK population now exercising at home (Mintel, Fitness In The Home) there is now a need for increased focus on safety and equipment maintenance. ‘We are increasingly aware that at this time of year the majority of our customers are now using their home gym equipment as their only means of exercise. They have often invested in a treadmill, cross trainer or vibration plate to cut out the expense of the gym and stay warm and dry when its miserable outside.’ Lloyd Martin, Owner of JTX Fitness. However, very few home fitness equipment retailers provide customers with the information and accessories to safely exercise at home and look after their machines.

With vibration plates proving increasingly popular for home use, away from the eyes of trained professionals in gyms, it has become very important for fitness retailers to provide detailed workout instructions. JTX Fitness have launched their accessories range for treadmills and vibrations plates with home workouts and equipment maintenance in mind. ‘We know there are a lot of people simply standing on a vibration plate. Although this may be helping to tone their legs, dynamic exercises like squats or press ups are much more effective. The JTX Fitness accessories range includes a DVD and Poster to help de-mystify home vibration training for people who have not attended a vibration training class run by a trained professional. ‘We always recommend trying a range of different vibration plates at the gym and in high street salons so that so that our customers understand the different vibration styles and how best to work out on them. But this DVD and poster provides a cost effective option and great reminder for those who have stopped going to the gym’ said JTX Fitness owner Lloyd Martin. The poster and DVD provide an introduction to carrying out these exercises safely and a great full body workout. The fitness retailer has also provided a few tips from the DVD at their website so that all beginner vibration plate trainers can get started with their workouts in a safe way.

The JTX Fitness accessories range also includes products for use with treadmills. The Treadmill Lubricant, £10 which will last regular treadmill users at least a year will greatly extend the life of any treadmill. Most retailers do not provide their customers with this simple kit and many customers are unaware that they are damaging their machines by not lubricating them.

JTX’s top selling accessory since the launch of the range has been the Treadmill Floor Protection Mats, with customers eager to protect their carpet or wood floor. The clever thing about these mats is that they come in two parts, allowing the mat at the foot of the treadmill to be packed away when our folding treadmills are packed away after a workout. Made from 100% Active Foam the mats will ensure the 88kg weight of the treadmill and added force caused by running is cushioned before impacting on the floor. This product is suitable for both static and folding treadmills less than 900mm wide.

Boynton Beach Dentist- How To Secure The Best Dental Implants

Do you know any Boynton Beach Dentist who can fix dental implants like no other? Do you know that missing teeth can cause all sorts of issues? Not only can they affect your speech and ability to eat, the teeth surrounding the missing tooth will start to shift to fill in the gap. Your dentist can offer you several options to fill in the gap left by a missing tooth. Dental bridges, tooth crowns, and dental implants are all viable options. Dental implants are a favorite because not only do they fill in the tooth above the gums, but they also fill in the space beneath the gums, like a real root. It is like placing an entirely new artificial tooth. By choosing dental implants, you also spare the surrounding teeth. With dental crowns or bridges, the surrounding teeth have to be ground down before they can be placed. Dental implant placement does not interfere with the surrounding teeth.
Once you get a professional Boynton Beach Dentist who is Board certified, he or she will examine your mouth, teeth and take x-rays to determine if you are eligible for dental implants. If, after a thorough evaluation, you are considered a good candidate, your dentist will begin to prepare you for the procedure. The first surgery will entail placing the implant into your jaw bone. The second surgery is usually three to six months after the first. During this surgery, the abutments that join the implants to the crown will be attached.
Once your gums have healed around the abutments, about two to four weeks, the prosthesis is put in place. You will need to avoid crunchy or hard foods for a few weeks until your mouth is completely healed. Proper maintenance of dental implants should become an important part of your day to day routine. This can be accomplished by developing excellent oral hygiene habits.
