Water Jel Burn Jel, Pain Relief 25 ea Reviews

Review by M. Osborne:

This stuff is amazing! I was given a sample of it last year at Disneyland after getting a bad sunburn. I hurt so bad I thought we were going to miss a day of playing. When we got back to the hotel, I put this on and almost immediately the pain was gone. The next couple days I alternated between sunscreen during the day and this at night and you couldn't even tell I'd ever been burned. Amazing product! Overall, the best thing about it is the instant pain relief.

Review by Deborah A. MacInnis:

My husband had part of a load of hot asphalt dumped on his bald head. Asphalt is usually 300 degrees. They used this product after they had brushed off what they could. He came home with no blisters, no burns, and not in pain. No kitchen, shop, or house with a wood stove should be without it!!!!!!! It should be in your camping gear as well!!

ScarAway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets - Full Dr. Recommended 12 Week Supply 12 Multi-Use Patches with Free Storage Case Included

ScarAway™ helps restore raised and discolored scars to a more natural color and texture, using the same technology trusted by burn centers and plastic surgeons. Using ScarAway on newly healed wounds helps prevent the formation of unsightly scars. Even scars that are years old from burns, surgical procedures and injuries show significant improvement with ScarAway. Previously available only to medical professionals. Now available to you. Made from a patented material that provides a unique combination of breath ability, flexibility, wash ability and adhesiveness, with a silky fabric backing for optimal convenience and comfort, even under clothing! Scar Away comes with 12 reusable 1.5" X 3" silicone scar management sheets. The easy-to-apply self-adhesive sheets can be cut to fit the size of the scar, or worn side-by-side for larger scars. Patented Silon® sheets mimic the natural barrier function of normal, healthy skin, increasing hydration, working to soften scar tissue, reducing it's development and causing it to fade away. So comfortable, you'll forget you're wearing it! ScarAway is the only product to provide the full, recommended 12-week supply of scar sheets in one box. **Why do all silicone scar sheets "compare" themselves to Neosporin® Scar Solution™?** Pfizer held the license to manufacture Scar Solution using Silon® technology for several years. When Johnson & Johnson purchased Pfizer, Inc. in 2006 it was decided to not continue the product. However, demand continued and in 2008, Bio-Med Sciences entered into agreements with Mitchell-Vance Laboratories which now offers ScarAway. Scar Away has larger sheets and significantly improved quality and adhesion.

  • Significantly improves the appearance of existing scars
  • With proven Silon technology

ScarAway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets - Full Dr. Recommended 12 Week Supply 12 Multi-Use Patches with Free Storage Case Included Reviews

Review by Ashley Bryant:

I was so surprised after a few weeks of using this product. My scars look years old, and I recently had surgery about 6 weeks ago! The scars used to be raised and bright red and purple, but not anymore. They are smooth and almost all the color has disappeared. It looks as if they have been healing for years. The only complaint that I have it the adhesive wears off after 3-4 days and each strip is supposed to last a whole week. Other than that, it's a great product.

Review by S. Carr:

After having some melanoma removed from my chest, I researched medical silicone gel products immediateIy, as recommended by my surgeon -- and was warned they wouldn't be cheap. I received ScarAway within a few days of ordering and it was exactly the product I needed. I was unable to find professional grade silicone at any major drug retailer. After only a 2 weeks use, my 1 1/2 inch long scar, requiring several stitches, is barely noticeable. Great product, excellent service and delivery.

Kirkland Signature Natural Fish Oil Concentrate with Omega-3 Fatty Acids-400 Softgels Reviews

Review by Joseph Lawrence:

Not a day goes by that I don't use these gelcaps, ever since my stroke 6 years ago. Not only that, but now I also purchase them for my mother. who just turned 80 in July. Her doctor said her cholesterol results lowered over 40 points in just 2 months after starting to use this product. My results changed dramatically from high triglycerides + high blood pressure to an average range within normal limits. Both doctors said to keep this regimen since it is definitely helping because diets alone and medications weren't enough to give these kind of results.

I was impressed with the order because of two features...professional packing and extra gelcaps (increased from 300 to 400) compared to my last purchase from another seller.

I researched this product a lot and strength quality was also improved in this order...my last order came in a manila folder without any kind of cushioning...this one came in a box with airpad protection. I will definitely re-order from this seller next time

Review by Martin A Hogan:

Fish Oil has been proven helpful in vascular health and with cholesterol. Kirkland is a trusted brand name of supplements and vitamins. It is recommended that an individual gets 1,000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids per day. More won't hurt, but additional amounts have not proven beneficial. In fact, some reports claim that keeping the dosage at 1,000 mg is MOST beneficial. With Kirkland products, you are guaranteed quality and consistently. Especially good if you are not a big fish eater like myself. There is also no odor. I would recommend using a search engine to learn all you can about vitamin supplements. This one product is the most cost effective.

UPDATE: Doctors now say that you need 1,000mg of EPA every day. If the bottle does not state the amount - avoid it. If it says 180mg of EPA, that's five pills a day. Search on-line for Nutra Origin - its the best I have found since.

Review by Pwoink:

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3S29LLAF82519 I wanted to try fish oil because of the cardio benefits and also heard of the stress reducing, mood stabalizing benefits of omega-3's that came with it. At first though I was a bit weary to try fish oil because of the dreaded "fish belches" but then I was informed by a friend they were entric coated which means they don't get fully absorbed by the body until they reach the lower intestine. Let me tell you, I didn't experience any indigestion or any fishy aftertaste after taking it, and i've been taking it for roughly 2 weeks now. Too soon to tell if it's helping me in the cardiovascular sense. but I have definitely noticed an improvement in my mood. You can obviously try any brand, but i noticed in my supermarket that nature made was 40% off if you bought 2 of them, so probably no need to buy them on Amazon as they are sold pretty much anywhere, not to mention they have an excellent rewards program.

Review by Shoppaholic:

Carlson The Very Finest Fish Oil Liquid Omega-3 Lemon, 500 Ml, Bottle Reviews

Review by Eric Glassman:

Bottom Line: Fish Oil really works to prevent artery disease, namely heart disease and strokes. It's not a bogus health food thing, it really works.

You need the EPA and the DHA from the fish. The other omega-3's, 6's etc. aren't the same. Skip the flaxseed, etc. You want enough EPA and DHA, you don't wanna be grossed out by the taste or get a fishy "repeat", and you don't wanna drink a bunch of unnecessary fat.

This stuff is good because: it has the right concentration of EPA/DHA: 1.3 g/teasp, which is high. And it tastes good. Even Nordic Naturals, a very respected company, has a similar EPA/DHA level, but tastes nasty.

Remember these supplements aren't regulated. Go to consumerlabs.com, they test the supplements. This wasn't tested, but Carlson capsules and cod liver oil were tested and passed, so i assume and hope this passes also.

That's all you need to know. If you're 30 or older, and you have high blood pressure and cholesterol like everyone else, take in at least 2 grams of EPA/DHA a day, your arteries will stay clean.

Review by calvinnme:

Americans consume a dangerously insufficient amount of Omega-3, which is a fat essential to good health but only found in fish oil and a few other foods. However, our intake of Omega-6, which is a fat found in corn, soy, sunflower and other oils, is too high. The ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be 1:1, but the typical American's ratio ranges greater than 20 to 1.

Omega-3 oils are essential to good glucose tolerance, and you need to remember that the worst fat of all is abundant in American diets - trans-fatty acids. Cells cannot get glucose or vitamin C inside when those cell walls are made by DuPont!

While Omega-3 can also be found in flaxseed, walnuts and a few other foods, the most beneficial form of Omega-3 - containing two fatty acids, DHA and EPA, that are essential to fighting and preventing both physical and mental disease - can only be found in fish. Unfortunately, fish often contains harmful mercury and other toxins, making it unsafe to consume in large quantities. Fish of all varieties from all water sources are now showing dangerously high levels of the tasteless but highly toxic metal, mercury.

Carlson's fish oil is one of the few brands that includes extra vitamin E, so you don't have to take extra vitamin E if you don't want to. Finally, I really appreciate its lemony taste as opposed to the strong fish taste you get in other fish oils. I highly recommend it.

Kirkland Signature Fish Oil w/ Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 180 Enteric Coated Softgels Reviews

Review by Kat A.:

I'd had to discontinue my use of regular fish oil capsules because they gave me not only the dreaded "fish belch" but also heartburn/indigestion. I've been taking this brand of enteric coated caps for several days now and have had no problems whatsoever. Shipping was quick, packaging was good. Very satisfied!

Review by Amazonian:

I've been very pleased with this product- easy to take, only need 1 or 2 per day, seems to have a good concentration of Omega-3s. My concern is that unlike most other fish oil pills, there is no information on how much EPA and DHA (specific types of Omega-3s) are in the pills. My understanding is that EPA and DHA are what is good for you, and the miscellaneous other Omega 3s are not as helpful. The figure of 684mg total Omega 3s seems high (good), but who knows how much of that is the helpful EPA and DHA omega 3s? Does anyone have any information on this?

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 3, a very expensive brand, contains 325mg EPA, 225mg DHA and 90mg "other Omega 3s" in each pill. These Kirkland pills have a little more total Omega 3 (684mg vs 640mg) but who knows if there is much or any of the beneficial Omega 3s.

Fiber Choice Fiber Supplement, Sugar-Free Assorted Fruit Chewable Tablets, 90-Count Bottles (Pack of 2) Reviews

Review by Amy Mcfarland:

I've tried my share of fiber supplements recently, as part of a healthier diet. Most adults need 25-30 gm fiber per day, and if you don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, it's hard to get that amount daily. I chose these tablets because I don't have to mess with measuring out powders or changing the taste of my juice/water.

Pros: The fiber is pre-measured - chew 2-4 tablets a day and you're on your way to getting enough of the daily recommended fiber. Taste is not bad. This includes three different flavors, and while the grape is a little tangy/sour for my preference, the other two are decent. This brand also includes the most fiber per serving, up to twice the amount per serving in other brands such as Benefiber.

Cons: The inulin, where the fiber comes from, makes the tablets really stick in your teeth. It's a rather weird texture and occasionally makes me feel like I'm chewing on foil (hard to describe any other way), which is the reason for the 4- rather than 5-star rating. Overall though, still a good choice for fiber supplements.

Getting this on Amazon and having a pack of two shipped to my door is very convenient, and even more cost-effective than buying it at my local Target.

Review by Bojan Tunguz:

In an ideal world all of us would be getting many more servings of fruits and vegetables than we actually end up with, but since we don't live in an ideal world it is a smart thing to do to get supplements that help us achieve our nutritional goals. These chewable tablets have many advantages over more traditional powdered dietary fiber supplements. There is no messy mixing into drinks, which makes them convenient to use outside home. Furthermore, they actually taste pretty good so you don't have an instinctive aversion towards them. However, you have to be careful: these tablets are not meant to completely supplant all of your soluble fiber needs. You should still strive to make your meals as balanced as possible.

The only issue that I have with these tablets is that since they are sugar free they leave a bit of an uncomfortable taste in my mouth that I have come to associate with most products that use sugar substitute. Other than that, this is a very good product that will help you maintain a balanced diet.

Benefiber-Natural Fiber Supplement, 25.6oz 190 Servings Reviews

Review by Scott FS:

There are several ways to get enough fiber in your diet. The best, of course, is through your diet. This means more fruits and vegetables, and fewer fast foods and snack foods. The second is by using the 'bulking' fiber supplements that use the old standby, psyllium fiber. Psyllium fiber products such as Metamucil are effective, but many people don't like the gritty texture. After all, these products are ground-up seeds with the tiny seeds attached. The third way is to use a product such as Benefiber, which has a nice texture and dissolves almost completely in water or fruit juice, and is much easier to take/swallow.

I'd suggest starting out slowly, adding a bit of Benefiber to your morning orange juice. Add a bit more every day or every other day, so you body can adjust to the increased bulk in your digestive tract.

Our bodies were made to operate on a high-fiber diet. Native plants did not come as fruit leather or in popsicles. They came as whole fruits, fiber, vitamins and minerals and all of the other healthful products of raw fruits and vegetables.

I do eat a healthy diet, but I still use added fiber. Why? The bulking makes me more regular, healthy, and I feel better. I believe it helps regulate fat and cholesterol in my body as well. It helps mimic the diets we humans evolved with on our planet.

Recommended. I use this product all of the time. I still occasionally use the psyllium fiber products as well, just not as often since I've discovered Benefiber.

Review by demonreader:

I am dieting, seriously, and while I have no need for "regulation", I am trying to increase my fiber intake without wasting too many calories on it. I also don't want to be bothered with mixing powders, or chewing tablets. This seems to do the trick. I would guess that it will remain part of my diet. Just wish they came in larger quantity containers. When you are taking 4 to 6 a day, the bottle doesn't last long. So far I've lost 25 pounds and have only 39 to go. And, importantly, I am staying healthy.

Review by Can-do:

I recently (a couple of months ago) started using WellBetX PGX with Mulberry. I am a Type II diabetic and have had trouble getting my numbers down even with medications and other natural products. I decided to try one more thing and I am glad I did. I started taking the WellBetX with my lunch and dinner and trying to keep to a reasonable diet including high fiber foods. I found that if I keep my meals and snacks small and take these capsuls, along with my prescribed meds, I can often find my numbers in the 90s or low 100s. If I don't take them they can run in the 120s to 130s. This may not seem like much to some people but it sure helped me have some peace of mind. I don't know if they will work for everyone; I just know what they did for me. KR-Calif.

Review by MrsBH:

Methylcellulose does seem to provide the bulking needed to solve my problem. However, I don't take it as described on the bottle (2 up to 6 times a day). I take 4 with my first meal of the day, and if I eat a meal later that may have a higher quantity of fat (which causes loose stools) then I might take 2 more with that meal. This method seems to work for me. You might be able to find methylcellulose in a generic version though.

I've been using this for a couple of years to help with LDL cholesterol levels. Any kind of fiber (soluble or insoluble) is good for keeping your plumbing functional, but soluble fiber is harder to come by and it is what helps within the circulation system. I don't know whether to credit careful dietary habits, exercise, or help from soluble fiber, but something is helping significantly. The price seems reasonable -- but watch for fluctuations.

WHEAT GRASS CHARECTERISTICS
wg

Commonly known as wheat grass, the plant Triticum aestivum is a plant with multiple uses which is grown all over the world not only for feedstock but also for its juice. Wheatgrass refers to the young grass stage of the wheat plant taken just after sprouting which has a pleasant green colour. It is a humble weed which has high content of chlorophyll, active enzymes and vitamins.
Chlorophyll, the life-blood of plants is the main ingredient in wheat grass. About 70% of the wheatgrass is only chlorophyll and because of this is the pleasant green colour. Wheatgrass is suggested for people who are diabetic, for sportsmen and generally for everyone who want to maintain healthy immunological conditions. Presence of chlorophyll in a larger amount helps the plant in self defense also. It arrests the growth and development of unfriendly bacteria.
The whole process of growing wheatgrass from sprouting to harvesting takes about two weeks. After this, the third week, it is considered to be completely matured and can be harvested and used. It is used as animal or bird feed. Especially parrots like the wheat grass very much. The wheat grass will be pressed and the juice will be extracted for human consumption. This juice has not just many nutritive values but also used for the curative treatment of various diseases. Some of the important nutrients present in them are, proteins, vitamins, magnesium, iron, phosphorus etc.
The plant grows best in indirect light. That is, under the shade of a tree or the like. Too much of sun may weaken the grass and they start drooping.

OLIVE OIL FOR SKIN/FACE

oo

Olive oil is oil obtained from the olive fruit which has not only nutrient qualities on oral consumption but also of cosmetic value on application on the surface of skin. The oil comes in several grades. All the grades are useful but the extra virgin olive oil, which is the least processed oil is highly recommended for beautiful and smooth skin.

Olive oil is said to cure the dark circles obtained around the eyes because of stress and sleeplessness. Olive oil applied on face and other skin surfaces promotes smooth and radiant complexion. Olive oil helps to maintain the elasticity of the skin. Hence age lines can be controlled on regular use. Olive oil heals the dry and brittle nails and softens the cuticles. The oil, when applied on the dried and cracked feet overnight, absorbs all the oil and makes the feet smoother.

Instead of chemical shaving creams, men can use olive oil with little soap as shaving cream which makes shaving easy and gives a smoother skin. An equal blend of beewax and olive oil gives a very good mixture which can be used as lip balm in cold conditions. Olive oil can also be used for hair massage which makes the hairs look shiny, healthy and stronger. Olive oil also reduces hair fall.

A few drops of olive oil while taking bath gives the skin a healthy and a glowing look. This technique can also be used during manicure and pedicure.

Removing make-ups is always troublesome for women who regularly attend parties and meetings. Instead of chemical cleansers and detergents, if olive oil is used to remove it, it makes the work easier and effective. It will also handle the skin very smoothly and gives a natural glow. Olive oil massage once in a week helps in opening the pores in the skin and lets the skin breathe easily and hence the healthy look.

OLIVE OIL FOR COOKING

olive2

Olive is a type of a fruit and the oil extracted from it is used for cooking all over the world. Olive oil does not require any chemical treatment during the process of its extraction where as almost all other do require. And hence, no refining is required for olive oil before consuming.

Olive oil is used for dressing salads, frying and cooking. Its ingredients give the dish an authentic Mediterranean flavor. It is best suited for any kind of food. It goes with pizzas and pasta. Its good with soups and sauce. In Spain, it is also used to cook sweets. The food fried or cooked with olive oil contains less fat content in them and hence prevents obesity. This is mainly because it forms a crust around the food and prevents the food by absorbing more oil. It is also said that usage of olive oil in regular food diet prevents breast cancer.

Olive oil has to be stored properly. Air, moisture and heating makes the oil turn rancid and when such rancid oil is used for cooking, it can cause severe health problems on consumers. So an ideal temperature for storing olive oil is 570 Fahrenheit of 140 C. and it can also be refrigerated.

Olive oil expands on heating. This property is considered to be most advantageous for the consumers. Because of this property, the oil can be reused for upto five times and it is safe. But, if olive oil is combined with other kinds of oil while cooking, it is said to produce certain toxins which can cause serious damage to health.

OATS CHARACTERISTICS

oats2

Oats are nutritious whole foods which are widely used now a days mainly because of its high nutritive content which is the result of least processing or no refining at all. Oats are foods which is full of proteins and help is body buiding. Oat is a cereal grain that usually has a bland taste. Oat comes in many different forms.  Oats provide soluble fiber (called beta glucan) which acts like a sponge during digestion, soaking up and removing cholesterol from the body.

Commonly known as oats, its scientific name is Avena sativa. One of the major uses of oats is, it is used as a feed for livestocks. It is used also for human consumption as oat mean or rolled oats which has many health benefits. Oats are also used in many brands of dog and chicken feed.

It is present about 80% in it. Oats are sown in spring or in early summer.

OATS AS DIETARY FIBERS

OATS AS DIETARY FIBERS

oats

Oats contain more soluble fibres than any other grain. Because of this there is a complete and slower digestion with extended sensation of fullness, reduces constipation. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has finalized its rule expanding the sources of oat beta glucan soluble fibre that can carry the health claim for lower risk of heart diseases.

It is said that half cup of oat bran gives 4.4g of dietary fibres required by the body. Soluble fibers, like oats, reduce cholesterol by interfering with the absorption of bile acids in the intestine causing them to be excreted rather than being taken up into the blood stream. Since bile acids are made from LDL, "bad" cholesterol in the body then removes LDL cholesterol from the blood and takes it to the liver in order to make new bile acids to replace those lost in the stool.

They are often added in to baked goods such as biscuits, cereal bars and flapjacks and can also be used to make a non dairy milk substitute. The soluble fibre which is very important for the body for digestion is not obtained in good amount especially in children because they will go for fast foods instead of healthy vegetables. A cup of oat meal a day will substitute not only the dietary fibres required but also gives lot of vitamins, minerals, calcium, magnesium and other micro nutrients. The fibers of oat also help in protecting vision of our eyes. Its mainly because of the purification of blood.
