The liquid is manufactured in Germany and contains no cancer causing chemicals; it is made up of food products to create a tobacco like flavour. The SuperSmoker is the only electronic cigarette that contains a liquid produced in the EU and has a traditional cigarette filter tip.Each cartridge will provide the same number of puffs as approximately 15 traditional cigarettes before a replacement is required. In a short period of time a Smoker could save up to 65% of their smoking costs by using the SuperSmoker.

CoffeeSLENDER featured on the hit TV show Cook Yourself Thin on Channel 4

2007-09-15T14:58:00.000+01:00

Cook Yourself Thin on Channel 4

CoffeeSLENDER was recently featured on the hit Channel 4 TV diet show, Cook Yourself Thin.
If you missed the show, Cook Yourself Thin selected four volunteers to try dieting with CoffeeSLENDER for six weeks. Another group of the same size was given an alternative product (instant low calorie hot drinking chocolate). Both groups were instructed to drink a cup after each meal, but not to diet. After the six weeks, the weight loss for each group was measured.
Although the show only had time to feature the average weight loss of the two groups, here are full results:
Group A
CoffeeSLENDER
Group B
Instant Chocolate
Volunteer 1 - Lost 1kg
Volunteer 1 - Gained 0.8kg
Volunteer 2 - Lost 0.7kg
Volunteer 2 - Lost 2.6kg
Volunteer 3 - Lost 1.4kg
Volunteer 3 - Lost 0.7kg
Volunteer 4 - Lost 1.1kg
Volunteer 4 - Lost 0.2kg
TOTAL WEIGHT LOST- 4.2kg
TOTAL WEIGHT LOST - 2.7kg
As you can see, the CoffeeSLENDER diet group won! They lost a total of 55% more weight than the Instant Chocolate group.
All the CoffeeSLENDER drinkers lost weight, despite not dieting, with three out of the four losing at least a kilo in just 6 weeks. The group drinking the instant chocolate didn't fair so well - one lady even put on weight!
Although Cook Yourself Thin did not advise the participants to diet, it is important to note that CoffeeSLENDER isn't a miracle cure - for maximum effect it is important to use CoffeeSLENDER in combination with a diet and exercise program.
Here are some key points about CoffeeSLENDER
CoffeeSLENDER's effectiveness is backed by several independent scientific studies. The but in summary, the average results across the studies show that dieting with CoffeeSLENDER is much more effective that dieting alone.
CoffeeSLENDER is available either as an instant coffee (as seen on the show), or alternatively as decaffeinated tablets
CoffeeSLENDER works by reducing the amount of carbohydrates absorbed from food, making dieting much more effective.
Dr Erling Thom, who ran some of our studies

Several controlled scientific studies have been conducted on Svetol®, the active ingredient, and also on CoffeeSLENDER®.
In these studies, the participants who used Svetol lost around twice as much weight compared to those on the same diet but not taking Svetol.

All the scientific data supporting CoffeeSLENDER has been thoroughly reviewed by Dr R.E. Lister. Dr Lister is an independent expert in Clinical Pharmacology, Trial Management and Nutrition and, amongst various Advisory roles, is Chairman of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition at London Metropolitan University. He has had over 60 scientific papers published.
This is what Dr Lister had to say about CoffeeSLENDER:
“The results from the studies on volunteers using either Svetol or CoffeeSLENDER are sufficiently convincing to warrant the conclusion that CoffeeSLENDER can be of positive benefit in aiding weight loss when used according to the maker’s instructions”.
Details of these studies as well as references to other research into the bio active substances contained in coffee , but in summary;
In 2005 Dr. Erling Thom of PAREXEL (a company that specialises in managing clinical trials) conducted three separate trials on Svetol and CoffeeSLENDER in Norway. The main study was a randomised, placebo controlled double blind study using Svetol combined with a calorie-controlled diet over 60 days. The 30 participants using Svetol lost more than twice the amount of weight compared to those on the same diet but without Svetol. Those receiving Svetol lost an average of 5kg (11lbs). The other 20 subjects following the same diet but not taking Svetol lost an average of 2.4kg (5.2lbs). Dr Thom also conducted two further trials. The results of these studies were also conclusive. The first showed that a single does of Svetol caused a 20% reduction in glucose levels after one hour (compared to eating the same food but without Svetol). The second was an open label study on CoffeeSLENDER. Participants drank a cup of CoffeeSLENDER three times a day after meals for 90 days. Participants were not asked to change their diet or exercise habits*. The average weight loss was 5.4kg.
In 2002, Dr. Blum and Marshall-Blum LLC (also a company that specialises in clinical trails) conducted a study using Svetol at the University of Maine Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. In this study, the respondents lost an average of 1.5kg (more than 3lbs) in 6 weeks without diet or exercise changes*.
A randomised placebo controlled study on 50 people over 60 days was undertaken by the Antonio e Margherita Hospital in Tortona, Italy. The results showed that Svetol can assist calorie controlled dieting. In the results, the 30 volunteers taking Svetol after their main meals lost an average of 4.9kg, with the other 20 volunteers not taking Svetol only losing 2.45kg. The results of this study have recently been published in the scientific journal Phytotherapie. These results as shown below - the graph on the left shows the increased weight loss with Svetol, and the graph on the right shows that Svetol also induced a greater change in the Body Mass Index.

As you can see, these studies show that dieting with CoffeeSLENDER may be around twice as effective as dieting alone. To purchase CoffeeSLENDER and boost your diet's results, click here

Green Coffee - A new way to loose weight this summer

2007-08-06T13:14:00.000+01:00

Natessance SLIM Green Coffee 400 with Svetol as seen in Sunday Mirror

As we consider the bikini season once again.... thank heavens for the emergence of Green Coffee - the new buzzword and effective way to lose weight naturally.

One barrier people have found is that as a drink, green coffee is pretty unpalatable.So these tried and tested new capsules are just the answer: all the benefits of green coffee with none of the set backs of the bitter taste.Even better, they are classified as a food supplement - so ideal for people tired of 'slimming pills'.

Natessance Green Coffee 400 is a new food supplement in capsule form that comprises decaffeinated Robusta green coffee beans. It contains Svetol® which helps to reduce the absorption of sugar from food that, in turn, cuts down the number of calories taken up by the body.

Clinical studies on taking Green Coffee Svetol over eight weeks at 400mg per day have shown:· A decrease in weight by nearly 6%· An increase in the proportion of muscle to fat ratio of 4%· A decrease in the Body Mass Index of nearly 6%· All without changing their dietHow does it work?Ingredients in the Robusta green coffee bean inhibit the uptake of glucose in the intestines, regulating metabolism and resulting in weight loss over a period of 60 days. Already recognised as an excellent anti-ageing food, Robusta green coffee is loaded with anti-oxidants which fight free radicals, the substances that cause cell damage and disease.Natessance takes the decaffeinated extract from the unroasted Robusta green coffee bean to avoid the negative health issues associated with excess caffeine. Six cups of caffeinated coffee a day causes dehydration and can overstimulate the body resulting in a variety of health problems. It is also believed that roasting coffee beans lessens the sugar balancing compounds. Obesity grows and grows Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the UK and carrying too much weight disturbs blood sugar concentration levels often leading to Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent), another increasing problem.

As many as 22 per cent of men and 23 per cent of women in the UK are classified as clinically obese, while another 43 per cent of men and 34 per cent of women are overweight. Dieting tipsIt is important to eat a balanced diet when taking Natessance Green Coffee 400, as healthy eating enables weight loss to be sustained. A balance of the main nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, essential fats, vitamins and minerals - plus plenty of water, fruit and vegetables is advisable.

How do I take Natessance Green Coffee 400? It is recommended to take 3 capsules of Natessance Green Coffee which amounts to 400mg every day in one or two daily doses

New Team on the Block – Vegan United - Major UK Vegetarian and Vegan Clubs Join Together & Form a Super Vegan Fantasy Dream Team to Double UK Vegans

The top UK vegetarian and vegan NGOs in the UK have joined forces to create a formidable team to promote the benefits of a vegan lifestyle, its lighter carbon footprint, veganism's solution for sustainable living and to double the number of vegans in the UK by the end of the year.
The Vegan diet has already enjoyed unprecedented media coverage this year, not just highlighting traditional issues such as the health benefits, but also the environmental benefits. Veganism has also featured prominently in recent stories in the fashion pages as vegan eco-chic becomes the top 'it' of 2007. As US and UK students apply their ethics to their research new evidence is surfacing on diet, nutrition and health and measures for preventative medicine in the footsteps of Hippocrates (“let medicine by thy food....”).

The Bristol Vegan Fayre 2007

The 5th annual Bristol Vegan Fayre 007 is to be held over two days in June (9th and 10th) right in the centre of Bristol, in The Amphitheatre and Waterfront Square, by the waterside. With an expected 180 stalls, plus 6 designated talks and demos areas covering every aspect of the vegan lifestyle, this really is a must for anyone wanting to access the most up to date vegan products, services and information, as well as practical advice on how to incorporate more vegan options into their lifestyle.

Added to that a superb line up of entertainment both days for the whole family, with escapologists, contortionists, comedians and magicians adding to the eclectic range of musical talent both on the acoustic stage and the main stage, culminating in headline appearances from Puressence on Saturday and original two tone legends The Beat on Sunday afternoon!

Yet again Barford has gathered an impressive list. The line up of sponsors includes vegan food manufacturers such as Vegan BBQ kings Fry’s Foods, grand master impressionists Redwood Foods, Bute Island Sheese, dairy free Willy Wonkas Plamil Foods, Nutiva Hemp Foods and Queen of raw food Shazzie from Detox Your World.

INTESTAID IB®
THE USE OF AN RNA DIETARY NUCLEOTIDE SUPPLEMENT IN THE ALLEVIATION OF SYMPTOMS OF IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME: A DOUBLE-BLIND RANDOMISED CROSS-OVER PLACEBO STUDY

Professor C.P Dancey, E.A. Attree, K. F. Brown
School of Psychology, University of East London, Romford Road, London E15 4LZ
Abstract and Poster presented at the 6th Nutrition and Health Conference, Olympia, 25/26th November 2005
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder of unknown aetiology, and for which treatments are less than effective. This study tested whether IBS symptoms were improved by Intestaid IB, which is a food supplement based on RNA dietary nucleotides, which play key roles in many biological processes.
Thirty-seven people with a confirmed diagnosis of IBS completed symptom diaries for a baseline period of 28 days. This was followed by 56 days of the experimental condition and placebo condition, with a four-week washout period between conditions. Analysis was by interrupted time series, which evaluates the impact of the intervention(s), taking into account the patterns in the data at baseline.
All symptoms were improved to a greater extent for participants taking Intestaid IB as compared to placebo. The percentage of participants who showed a significant response to the placebo condition varied from 13.9% to 35.1%.
Symptoms that were significantly improved by Intestaid IB were abdominal pain, urgency, and feelings of incomplete evacuation. Other symptoms where an improvement was noted were bloating, diarrhoea and flatulence.
Overall the average % of patients improved was 23.73% for participants on IntestAidIB.
Furthermore, there was a tendency for abdominal pain and incomplete evacuation to reduce over the eight-week experimental period.
-ends-

Notes to Editors
The trial took place at the University of East London between July 2004 and August 2005.
The symptoms analysed were abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence, incomplete evacuation and urgency.
Prof. Christine Dancey is the co-founder of the IBS network and author of IBS book, ‘Take Control’

Aromatherapy Benefits
ORANGE(Citrus Sinensis)
PART USED: Essential Oil, Fresh Zest
AROMATHERAPEUTIC INFLUENCES: Purification, Joy, Calming, Sedative, Soothing Relief from Stress.
The colored portion of the peel or the essential oil releases the familiar, sweet, citrus odor. Like neroli, this fragrance is ideal for self-purification, transforming personal atmosphere and environment into peace and joy, and produces an increase in available bioelectric energy when needed for mundane and magical workings.
LIME(Citrus Aurantifolia)
PART USED: Essential Oil, Fresh Zest
AROMATHERAPEUTIC INFLUENCES: Purification, Physical Energy, Invigorating, Promotes Awareness.
The true essential oil captures the pungent citrus scent of the fruit. We use the zest by grating off the colored portion of a ripe lime. The scent of lime is curiously similar to and yet so different from that of lemon. It is full-bodies and possesses a sharpness that makes it instantly recognizable.
Like all citrus scents, it is effective in personal purification. The powerful aroma (ruled by the sun) also energizes and revitalizes the body. It can be used, with appropriate visualizations, for personal protection.
SPEARMINT(Mentha Spiacata)
PART USED: Essential Oil, Fresh Leaves
AROMATHERAPEUTIC INFLUENCES: Protection during sleep. Anti-depressant, Stimulates Healing, Creates Harmony.
The fresh scent of Spearmint is inhaled with visualization to speed healing of the body. Use the fragrance to key into your bioelectric energy, redirecting it toward the healing process.
At night release fresh sprays of this aromatic plant in your bedroom. Inhale its scent as you fall asleep, visualizing it wrapping you with protective energy. The odor of Spearmint is also refreshing and comforting to the bereaved.
SPRUCE
PART USED: Essential Oils, Fresh Needles, Small Twigs
AROMATHERAPEUTIC INFLUENCES: Stimulant, Physical Energy, Relieves Anxiety & Stress.
The crisp scent of a forest just after a rain stimulates the thinking while the body rests & relaxes. Creates a comfortable "at home" feeling. Elevates your emotions, yet instills a grounding effect. Combined with Orange acts as a natural bacteriostat. Repels negativity.
VANILLA
PART USED: Essential Oil, Vanilla Pods
AROMATHERAPEUTIC INFLUENCES: Energize Emotions and a Soothing Aphrodisiac.
Inhaling the scent of Vanilla will almost always remind you of home cooking and sweet baked goods. Warming, soothing and elevates passion. Heightens self-esteem and promotes feelings of love and compassion

Air Therapy®
Air Therapy® is a 100% natural purifying mist for the air you breathe, with aromatherapeutic benefits.
Air Therapy® is distilled from the purest essential citrus oils available, nothing else. Each spray contains millions of electrical charges, or ions, which attract, neutralize and eliminate odors, smoke, airborne pollutants and since it is made from "Real Citrus" keeps insects away (fleas, fly's ants.)

Brendan Blazier Vega Foods

2007-04-02T14:36:00.000+01:00

Told from the onset that a plant-based diet wouldn’t cut it on the professional Ironman circuit, Brendan’s nutritional journey began with unpromising results. Several months of chronic hunger, the need to constantly eat and reduced energy levels culminated in a decline in athletic performance.
Brendan’s stubborn curiosity persevered however, and after many years of research, trials and tribulations, he created a plant-based whole food diet that worked better than he had ever expected. Since then, Brendan has become a top professional Ironman triathlete, crediting his diet for his success competing in one of the world’s most demanding sports.
Driven by the desire to share his findings with like-minded others, Brendan wrote his first book, THRIVE: A guide to optimal health and performance through plant-based whole foods, available throughout North America at health food stores, major book retailers and online. The first edition of THRIVE became an immediate best-seller and a second, expanded edition was published just six months later.
Meanwhile, prompted by the success of his book and growing consumer demand, Brendan partnered with Sequel Naturals to create the Vega line of plant-based whole food products. From formulation to raw material sourcing, Brendan was instrumental in the entire product development process.
Speaking throughout North America, Brendan continues to educate on the value of a properly implemented plant-based diet for improved vitality and performance. For more information, visit http://www.brendanbrazier.com/.
“I formulated Vega using the highest quality, least processed, plant-based superfoods available. Armed with Vega, you will no longer need to compromise between whole food goodness and fast food convenience. To me, Vega is a way of life—I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.”

Hoop Girl Coming to the UK

2007-03-27T11:59:00.000+01:00

American Fitness Icon Teaches Hula Hooping As A Hip New Career Path

Mesmerizing spectacle meets physical enlightenment in Hoopdance, an ever-evolving form of fusion fitness. Undulating, playful movements make up a sexy, beneficial workout that absolutely anyone can master -- thanks to the aid of adult-sized, weighted hula hoops.

International demand for Hoopdance instruction has spurred an entirely new career field, one that's open to anyone seeking a creative job change. To meet the needs of enthusiasts worldwide who seek to wiggle and swivel their way into shape, San Francisco-based HoopGirl Christabel Zamor has designed a HoopGirl teacher certification course that is going global.

"Exercise must be enjoyable," Zamor said. "The HoopGirl Workout is feel-good fitness that anyone can do. It is amazing to watch people who thought they never could hoop, succeed.”

That philosophy is articulated in HoopGirl's motto: "Get fit. Feel sexy. Have fun." It's helped Zamor establish a veritable Hoopdance empire, with group classes, private lessons, instructional DVDs and performances. It's something Zamor believes anyone in any part of the world can accomplish, and it's why she's driven to train more teachers.

The teacher certification course has evolved substantially since the first weekend-long session in San Francisco hosted women from across the United States. Today, the course covers 24 hours worth of material, and includes everything students need to effectively teach a Hoopdance fitness course; it's also a crash course in running a small business, providing students with a sense of marketing savvy and all the ephemera required to operate a small business.

What Zamor most strives to instill in her students however, is the ability to radiate confidence; it's an essential ingredient to succeed in this unique, burgeoning industry.

"Confidence is knowing you can help anyone learn to hoop like a superstar” she said. "For a teacher to walk into the class with the resolution that 'I can do this,' that's the most important thing."
The original HoopGirl, Christabel Zamor, will be hosting a teacher certification course in the UK at Nuneaton, Warwickshire from 27th to 29th April 2007. For more information on the course, or Hoopdance in general, visit her Web site at www.hoopgirl.com

distance from the germs.

Natural Patches

A brand new, innovative range of natural transdermal treatments is now available for retail through UK company, Natural Patches.

Offering a drug-free alternative to many chemical products and medications, Natural Patches’ range of topical skin patches provides a number of holistic treatments to help aid the symptoms of headaches, joint pain, children’s fevers, menopause, PMT, impotence and loss of libido. There are also patches available to aid weight loss and patches that act as an insect repellent.

Already popular in the USA and Australia, these revolutionary holistic treatments use only plant and herb extracts, renowned for their complementary medicinal qualities. All the products in the range are completely natural, so cause no harmful side effects and can be used repeatedly, as required.

As the patches are applied directly to the skin, the ingredients are absorbed straight into the blood stream, where they start to work faster and more effectively than medications or herbal remedies taken orally.

With medical professionals around the world now referring to transdermal patches as "the delivery system of the future", this innovative product range is predicted to be as popular in the UK as it has been internationally.

Insect Repellent PatchThe Insect Repellent Patch provides convenient protection from biting insects without the smell and mess of sprays, lotions or creams. Containing only Thiamine Vitamin B1, the patch is harmless, totally natural and effective. The active ingredients are absorbed via the transdermal patch and then excreted through the pores on the body, providing an invisible protective ‘barrier’ that shields the user from mosquitoes and other biting insects. GlucoPatchGlucosamine for many years has provided the joints with the building blocks they need to repair damage caused by wear and tear.

Studies have shown that Glucosamine has greater benefits when used over the course of the day and not taken in one dose. Natural Patches’ GlucoPatch gives the reassurance of supplying the body with Glucosamine and Chondroitin, 24 hours a day.

Pain Relief Patch The Pain Relief Patch relieves pain caused by local inflammation of tendons, ligaments and muscles. One Pain Relief Patch effectively provides superb pain relief and soothing effect for up to 8 hours.

Does Hay Fever Mean Cycling With A Running Nose And Sore Eyes?
New HayMax is Here To Help!

Many cyclists have mixed feelings about ‘The joys of spring’, if they suffer from hay fever. And some have had enough of regularly using pharmaceutical remedies which might have unpleasant and debilitating side effects.

Now there is a new option - New ‘HayMax’ , a completely natural, effective and drug free alternative to prevent the symptoms of hay fever, but without side-effects. ‘HayMax’ is a simple to use POLLEN BARRIER, which can help stop the sneezing and runny nose, which plague hay fever sufferers when the pollen count rises.

‘HayMax’ is a balm made from beeswax, essential oil and sunflower oil. Using traditional ingredients which have been proved safe, ‘HayMax’ can help manage hay fever without the risk of unacceptable side effects.

Max Wiseberg, Managing Director of HayMax Limited, tells us that just wiping a small amount on the bottom of each nostril enhances the filtration effect of the nasal tract. ‘HayMax’ acts as a barrier to the pollen, which irritates nasal membranes and results in debilitating symptoms such as sneezing, streaming eyes and runny nose

In user trials during the 2003 Hay Fever season, all respondents said
“it worked !”.

DPM of Cheshire says:

“I found it easy to apply and found my sneezing reduced to a bare minimum, which is a marked improvement on my current remedies. I also found the aromas pleasant and neither left behind any greasy residue.”

New ‘HayMax’ Hay Fever Prevention- the simplest solutions are often the best.

Hope’s Health Products – Pure and Natural
Due to increasing public awareness of toxic chemicals the Hope’s product range was created by a leading Melbourne Naturopath to provide gentle and effective alternatives to treat eczema, psoriasis and other common skin conditions. All products are based on a unique formula using a blend of rich, natural healing ingredients made without compromise on quality.
About us
Hope's Health Products Pty Ltd was established in 2002 in Melbourne, Australia by a leading Naturopath Jacqueline Hope. Her motivation to start the company was to provide customers with a range of natural products to safely and effectively relieve the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis and itchy, dry skin. The initial product, Hope’s Relief Cream, was launched into the market in July 2003. It received such an enormous, positive response from customers that two complementary products have recently been launched on the market - Hope’s Herbal Shampoo and Hope’s Herbal Conditioner.
Hope’s Health Products’ popularity has transcended Australian borders with many enquiries coming in from overseas. The Company has recently started to develop overseas markets in anticipation that the success of Relief products will be repeated in other countries. Overseas distributors

Jacqueline Hope is a fully qualified Naturopath graduating from the Australian College of Natural Medicine in Melbourne.
Jacqueline Hope established her own private practice in Melbourne, where she was able to directly observe the powerful effects of herbal and homeopathic medicines. It was during that time that she began treating people suffering from various skin disorders, including eczema and psoriasis. At that time there was very little available to help people suffering from those conditions, except for cortisone and drugs that produced undesirable side effects. So she began a period of research and testing to develop an effective natural alternative that would quickly relieve the itching, settle the redness and inflammation, clear any infection and assist in healing the skin – without causing any harm. Over time, she developed a unique formulation consisting of high potency herbal extracts, homeopathics and Manuka honey. From this work the formula for Hope’s Relief Cream was born.

Jacqueline Hope has taken on the role of Managing Director of her company, Hope’s Health Products Pty Ltd. She continues to research and develop new products. Hope’s Relief Shampoo and Hope’s Relief Conditioner are two therapeutic formulations, which were designed in response to people’s requests for something to help with itchy, flaky scalp conditions. These were launched onto the market in May 2005, and more products are planned for the future.
