Top New England Dentist Adds Skin Care to Practice

May 14th, 2008

Top New England dental practice first to offer skincare to the Boston area

Dr. Damian Meola is one of the first dentists in the Greater Boston area to begin offering a wide array of skincare treatments. He finds that providing additional aesthetic options for patients provides them a unique setting of coordinated care at one location. Reports Dr. Meola “When people change or alter a smile, there is often a need or desire for extra services to compliment those changes. We launched Smile Spa to respond to that.”

What is the Smile Spa? Located within the same practice as Damian Meola and Associates, Smile Spa offers a range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments to enhance skin and correct certain conditions. Advanced Facials, microdermabrasion, peels, light treatments and many other highly advanced options are available to enhance skin tone and correct issues.

“There is a synergy between the smile, the skin and a sense of confidence that having both in great shape brings.,” says Dr. Meola. “Patients have really responded to the idea that they can enjoy pampering services within a dental practice.” Adds Stacey Powell, Smile Spa’s certified aesthetician.

“The best results I have found in either correcting specific troubling conditions or maintaining healthy skin is with a product line called Environ. We are proud to offer a range of treatments which are results oriented and highly effective yet gentle using this intelligent medical line.” Says Stacey.

Dr. Meola says of his new Smile Spa, “We are constantly in search of new ways to offer our patients services that enhance the way they look. Our Smile Spa has now given us an edge in this search.”

Watch for seasonal special offers.

New Social networking site opens its doors to all health care providers

April 13th, 2008

Charles R. Leidheiser, D.O., founder of Making Big Medicine, is launching a new medical web site that is new and different because it includes ALL health care providers including but not entirely limited to all physicians, all types of Nurses, Dentists, Podiatrists, Physical Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, Optometrists, Nurse Practitioners, Licensed Physician Assistant and perhaps some Alternative Medicine Practitioners. We wish to be as all-inclusive as possible and provide forums for all to learn about each other as well as educate the lay public.

Features of the web site include:

  • the ability for members to create their own personal page
  • write their own blog
  • participate in forums to discuss health care issues
  • post job listings
  • create a resume which can then be submitted to a job listing(s) on the site
  • a resource section full of useful information and links
  • list and view medical events around the country
  • upload images to the site galleries
  • submit articles
  • create polls and surveys
  • network with colleagues
  • use the invite script to invite and keep in contact with your colleagues.

The site also features the option for site users to create their own group. For example a nurse could create a group for nurses, by creating this group they have now created their own section of the web site where information specifically for that group can be created and archived. The group creator may then choose to make the group public or to make the group involvement by invitation only. Now you have groups working within the network.

Most content on the site is invisible or blocked from the casual visitor to the site due to the fact that discussions, articles and posts are health care related and are handled with confidence and shared with only other health care providers. The site has multiple levels of access, for example a job seeker will only have access to job listings and the resume builder. Employers and recruiters will only have access to the job listing builder and current resumes. Health care providers will have full access to all the features of the web site. Anonymous visitors to the site will have very limited access.

Founder, Charles R. Leidheiser, D.O., is very passionate about this project and believes that http://www.makingbigmedicine.com will be a social networking leader in the health care field.

Registration is quick and simple, you fill out a profile form and tell us a little about yourself and your credentials. The site will then send you an email to confirm that is was indeed you who registered for the site. The site administrators will then confirm your membership to the site and assign your access level accordingly.

Visit today http://www.makingbigmedicine.com and become a part of the full featured health care provider social network.

The New You Internet Radio Show Welcomes Obesity Action Coalition’s Joseph Nadglowski, Jr. to Discuss 2008 Walk From Obesity - Walk on the Capitol

March 25th, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Orange County, CA) March 22, 2008: Jeff Cadwell and Cher Ewing, co-hosts of “The New You” Internet Radio Show, are pleased to welcome a special guest on April 2, 2008. Joseph Nadglowski, Jr., President and CEO of Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) and Executive Director of the 2008 Walk from Obesity - Walk on the Capitol, will join them to discuss this history-making event being held in Washington on June 17, 2008.

The Walk on the Capitol is aimed at raising awareness of obesity by bringing together individuals who are affected by obesity to walk together and spread a powerful message to the public and the government of the need for expanded efforts to manage this rising epidemic. Find further information on this event at: http://www.WalkontheCapitol.com.

“The more patients we unite in our efforts to educate and advocate on behalf of those affected by obesity, the better our chances of changing the negative stigma associated with obesity and increasing access to coverage of safe and effective treatment options,” says Nadglowski.

Nadglowski will also explain the many ways the OAC increases obesity education and awareness, works to improve access to medical treatments for obese patients, advocates for safe and effective treatments, and strives to eliminate the negative stigmas associated with all types of obesity. “Obesity is a complex disease that requires access to treatment to better the quality of health and life of those affected by this disease,” he adds.

Jeff Cadwell and Cher Ewing, “The WLS Coaches,” host one of the most unique weekly radio shows on the Internet. Not only is their program geared specifically to people who have undergone or are considering weight loss surgery, both have undergone this procedure themselves. In addition, Cadwell and Ewing offer their listeners a powerful combination of supportive coaching and information from both the male and female point of view.

Each week, listeners are encouraged to tune in and enjoy the down-to-earth, no-nonsense style of these hosts. Frequent guests include noted physicians, authors, and experts in the area of weight loss surgery.

Cadwell, a veteran of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, met his weight loss goal within one year. The California co-host and certified life and wellness coach says, “You may have reached a moment of truth in your life where you feel compelled to move in a new direction. As uncertain as it may seem, it’s as if your life depended on it. For some, that may actually be true. However, if you live without a vision, if you don’t have a plan, if you live every day with the anxiety of what’s to come, it’s easy to lose sight of your own value system.”

Texas co-host, Ewing, who underwent Lap-Band surgery and continues to lose weight says, “As a dedicated and committed health and wellness coach, it is my privilege to help you highlight your potential as you journey toward your most fulfilling life path. I find it an honor and joy to provide coaching as you discover your path to living a joyful and rewarding life after your weight loss surgery.”

According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Foundation, of which Nadglowksi is executive director, about 15 million people in the US suffer from morbid obesity. People who are considering weight loss surgery as a tool to help with their own physical and emotional transformation may be at a loss as to where to begin. Others who have already had some form of this surgery may not be getting the emotional support and information they so desperately need to make their transition as successful as it could be.

Stepping in to fill that need is “The New You” Internet Radio Show. With free, live, weekly shows, 24/7 podcasts and phone-in and email capabilities, listeners can interactively participate in such topics as how to keep a daily success journal, handle practical issues with insurance companies, weather the emotional ups and downs of obesity, and stay on track with their weight loss goals.

Neither Cadwell of www.JeffCadwell.com nor Ewing of www.DivineTransformation.net believes that any surgical weight loss patient should have to do it alone. Join their weekly show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thewlscoaches.

March 1st, 2008

Medina J. Nance is a Naturopathic, Natural Health Teacher and Health Consultant. She has been in the field of Naturopathy for twenty-five (25) years and stated that this educational workshop is designed to introduce health care professionals to the science and use of dietary supplements. “Heart Disease - America’s # 1 Killer” Presenter: Clell Flowers, Pharmacist for over 15 years on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 6:00 - 9:00 PM at the Oak lawn Hotel located at 9333 South Cicero in Oak lawn, Illinois.

The emphasis is on complimentary health practices. Many doctors and other professionals practicing medicine are seeking up-to-date ’scientifically sound’ information on the benefits of using dietary supplements to enhance their patient’s health.

This seminar will enable any health care professional to better understand and recommend the appropriate health building strategies (with scientific info.) to address a wide variety of the nutritional deficiencies of their patients and clients, which tend to be the ‘root’ causes or many diseases and disorders.

Health Care Professionals are amazed at how cutting-edge these seminars are. The instructor are personal, the classes are informative and well paced. The materials are well-balanced, not too simple or too complex.”

How to Whiten Teeth Naturally

February 26th, 2008

If coffee, cigarettes and food have left their mark on your teeth, you’re not alone. There are plenty of people who would try anything to get back their pearly whites.

“Teeth naturally yellow for a number of reasons including smoking, eating highly pigmented foods, drinking coffee, tea or red wine, treatment with antibiotics, trauma, and too much fluoride and tartar accumulation,” according to Elisa Mello, DDS, from NYC Smile Design, a New York-based cosmetic and restorative dental practice. But did you know that Mother Nature has some natural solutions to getting back your pearly whites? Here are some tips provided by Dr. Mello:

Dos

  • Eat foods that act like detergents and whiten teeth naturally. To keep teeth bright and prevent yellowing, you need to remove the staining bacteria by chewing certain crunchy fruits and vegetables that produce high salivary flow and actually work like tiny toothbrushes to help scrub away stubborn stains over time. So, take a bite out of apples, carrots, pears, guavas, cauliflower and cucumbers.
  • Eat lots of dark green vegetables. Vegetables like broccoli, lettuce and spinach act like a barrier on teeth by creating a film that prevents stains from recurring and can actually help scrub away stubborn stains over time.
  • Eat lots of high-fiber and whole foods—they act as natural tooth cleansers.
  • Mash a few strawberries in a bowl and then take your finger and spread the pulp all over your teeth. Leave it on a minute or two, and then thoroughly rinse and brush it off.
  • Sip through a straw to protect your teeth from stain-makers like coffee, tea, red wine and cola.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep the teeth hydrated.

Don’ts

  • The rule of thumb is that anything that can stain a white T-shirt can stain your teeth too. That means most varieties of berries, as well as soy sauce, red wine, many fruit juices, coffee, tea, and cola. You don’t have to avoid them altogether, but immediately after indulging, rinse out your mouth with water, brush your teeth or chew gum.
  • Keep in mind that citrus fruits contain acid that can cause enamel to deteriorate over time.
  • Be aware that those sports drinks, energy drinks and fitness waters contain organic acids which are known to break down calcium. So they’re especially good at eroding your teeth. Recent studies show they were more damaging to tooth enamel than cola-based drinks.
  • Reduce your intake of acidic foods like vinegar. Foods that are slightly acidic open up the pores of the tooth enamel allowing for easy staining.
  • Avoid highly processed sugars and high-fructose corn syrup, especially sticky foods that maintain contact with the teeth for a longer period of time.
  • Extremely hot or cold liquids are dangerous to your white smile because they change the temperature of your teeth. This temperature change causes teeth to expand and contact, allowing stains to penetrate your teeth.
  • Tobacco is the biggest culprit in quickly staining your white teeth.

“Thorough cleaning by a dentist or hygienist will remove most external staining from teeth caused by food and tobacco. Using a whitening toothpaste can also help remove these surface stains between dental visits. If stains have been present for years, you may need to have your teeth professionally whitened to remove these more stubborn external stains,” notes Dr. Mello, a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU College of Dentistry.

“Teeth with internal stains caused by the aging process, antibiotics and trauma can be bleached, veneered or crowned. While each of these methods is safe and effective, your dentist will recommend which treatment is appropriate for you depending on the state of your teeth and the results that you wish to achieve,” adds Dr. Mello.
