Low-calorie, nutrient dense foods are at the base of the pyramid, and high-calorie, nutrient poor foods are at the top. As nutrient density decreases, the quantity [...] Read the Full Story
What is Homeopathy What are Homeopathic Remedies? Any plant, mineral or natural substance can be used as a remedy. The original substance is diluted in liquid repeatedly, and vigorously shaken with each dilution. Unusual as it sounds, these very small amounts of remedies can act very strongly when used properly. Also, because the remedies are very diluted, they are extremely safe. Read the Full Story

Cellulite – Where does it come from and why?

Cellulite is an accumulation of fatty deposits below the skin that produces dimpling and wrinkling of the involved region of the body, most often affecting the hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, stomach, and the back of the neck. While cellulite development is linked to genetic predisposition, other factors are also involved including: hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, high fat/high caloric diet and lack of exercise.

Cellulite is defined as a localized metabolic disorder of the subcutaneous tissue, which produces an alteration in the appearance of the skin, due to accumulation of water, toxins and fat. These will be stored in the form of fixed agglomerations [packages] that disturb the dynamic line of the female body. The most accepted medical term for cellulite is gynoid lipodystrophy [GLD].

There are two forms of cellulite: hydric cellulite and lipidic cellulite. Hydric cellulite is usually spread out and consists mainly of water (with some fat), which penetrates the tissues and saturates them. Lipidic cellulite is more localized and consists mainly of excess fat (with some water) giving the skin the typical “orange-peel” appearance.

Cellulite is a very diffi cult condition to reverse because the fatty deposits contained in cellulite do not respond well to stimuli that normally help to mobilize fat from fat tissues in the body (e.g. abdominal fat) such as: aerobic exercise, caffeine and other stimulants.

New Hope for Cellulite Sufferers

A recent break through discovery has shown that the fat within cellulite tissue responds very well to chemical agents that inhibit the alpha-receptors. Alpha-receptors are found on the surface of fat cells within cellulite tissue. Once inhibited, these alphareceptors allow fat to exit from the cellulite tissue and enter the bloodstream to be burned by other tissues. The resulting cellulite reduction minimizes skin dimpling and wrinkling and creates a smoother, more attractive look to the involved cellulite affected area.

Researchers working in this field have discovered that certain plants contain natural substances that directly inhibit these alpha-receptors to release the fatty deposits and reverse cellulite appearance to an appreciable degree.

These discoveries have lead to the development of a clinically tested homeopathic cream that has been shown to break down cellulite and improve fat burning.

Formulated by Dr. Delia Simu, a Romanian medical doctor with additional specialties in acupuncture and homeopathic medicine, Alpha-Cell Cellulite Cream is an effective solution for cellulite problems.

Alpha-Cell is clinically proven to provide results. In a study conducted by Dr. Simu, data was collected on 2,500 women over a four year period, between the ages of 14 and 65. Over Paraben Free 80% of participants showed improvement in the reduction of the appearance of cellulite and achieving the look of younger, firmer looking skin.

For best results, individuals should also:
follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean sources of protein and healthy fats; drink ten 8 oz glasses of water daily; perform endurance exercise (even just simple power walking) 4-5 times per week for 30-45 minutes per session; and also supplement their diet with EstroSense, as a natural method to help balance female hormones that contribute to the development of cellulite.

Directions:

Every morning and night, immediately after showering or on moistened skin, rub a thin layer of cream into the affected areas. Rub 5 times in a vertical direction, 5 times in a horizontal direction and 10 times in a circular motion.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Alpha-Cell™ (proprietary blend of plant extracts: Oregon Grape, Yellow Snow Rose, Staves Acre, Algae, Ivy, Marigold), Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (less than 1%), Stearyl Alcohol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate.

 Try Lorna’s Sexy Legs Program
YOU’LL SEE GREAT RESULTS IN JUST 60 DAYS!

Dear Subscriber,

This program provides such dramatic results you must take photos before you start my program.


I was so amazed at the difference in the look of my legs and butt from using this sexy legs program that I have to tell you about it. My girlfriends, who were skeptical that anything could work this fast have also tried the sexy legs program with dramatic results.

My friend Maureen thought she would do a little test and followed the program but only applied Alpha Cell to one leg and left the other untouched. Within 30 days the difference in the way the skin on her leg looked was strikingly different than the leg that did not get the sexy legs treatment. Her mother and sisters could not believe the difference. She is convinced and won’t go a day without following this program. Now you can have my sexy legs program too.

Whether it is in a bathing suit, a skirt or shorts, your butt and legs are bound to be on full display when the weather turns warm and sunny. So, instead of hiding your legs because you have varicose veins and/or cellulite, start my sexy legs program today. Not only will this program give you beautiful, sexy legs but it will balance your hormones too.

If you have varicose veins you are not alone as this condition affects one in two North Americans. Varicose veins are enlarged veins commonly found in the legs. The veins often appear dark purple or blue and twisted and bulging above the skin’s surface. Varicose veins called hemorrhoids can form in the vagina or around the anus.

Leg veins have the toughest job. The task of carrying blood from the bottom of the body up to the heart make legs a prime location for varicose, spider and hemorrhoid veins. Hormonal changes as well as taking birth control pills or HRT containing estrogen and progesterone increase the risk of varicose or spider veins. Obesity and constipation can make vein problems worse. Most people seek surgery, sclerotherapy, laser treatments, use creams, suppositories and support hose to eliminate painful vein problems but there is a much faster and more effective treatment to eliminate unsightly veins forever.

VeinSense, quickly deals with swollen
legs and ankles, hemorrhoids, varicose
veins, chronic venous insufficiency
and even spider veins.

So effective is VeinSense that I recommend you take photos of your veins and measure the width of your ankle and calf before you start. Large clinical trials using the exact dosages and combination of nutrients in VeinSense have found that in 60 days veins dramatically diminish in size and edema around the ankles is reduced or eliminated. Research also found that acute and chronic hemorrhoids were also relieved quickly.

Cellulite another unsightly condition of the butt and thighs affects approximately 90 percent of women over the age of 20 and contrary to popular belief you do not have to be overweight to suffer cellulite. You have most likely heard the term “orange peel” skin used to describe how cellulite looks and feels. Cellulite develops in a series of steps caused by damage to our lymphatic drainage system due to an inadequate diet without enough protein, a lack of exercise or excessive exercise, repeated weight loss and weight gain and an excess or a deficiency of estrogen contributes to the development of cellulite.

Dr. Delia Simu, M.D. clinically tested a AlphaCell a homeopathic cream that has been shown to break down cellulite. In a study conducted by Dr. Simu, Alpha Cell Cellulite treatment was used on 2,500 women between the ages of 14 and 65, over a four year period. 80 percent of participants showed improvement in the reduction of the appearance of cellulite and achieved younger, firmer looking skin. Alpha Cell is also paraben-free (parabens are an estrogenic preservative used in cosmetics). Alpha Cell provides results within 60 days and with continued use cellulite will be dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Plus now AlphaCell is super strength
and works much faster.

Follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean sources of protein and healthy fats; drink ten glasses of water daily; walk 30 minutes everyday; and take EstroSense. EstroSense helps keep your estrogen to progesterone levels balanced. We know that estrogen imbalance contributes to cellulite and varicose veins, by using EstroSense, a natural method to help balance female hormones not only will your legs look better but you will have normal, regular periods with no PMS. Acne will disappear too! EstroSense safely balances hormones without the dangers of common treatments prescribed by your doctor like the Pill.

VeinSenseTM
for Varicose Veins, Hemorrhoids and Edema

What to expect from VeinSense:

  • Supports vein health and reduces varicose veins
  • Helps decrease the edema and inflammation associated with varicose veins
  • Eliminates heavy feeling legs and swelling of legs
  • Reduces Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
  • Reduces phlebitis
  • Eliminates hemorrhoids
  • Helps relieve symptoms of lymphedema
  • Helps heal leg ulcers
  • Aids PMS

The key ingredients in VeinSense include: Diosmin, Horse chestnut, Butcher’s broom and Hesperidin. Each of these ingredients has beneficial effects on vein health and treatment of varicose veins, leg swelling, hemorrhoids, PMS and more…

Diosmin
Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside isolated from various plants and the flavonoid hesperidin. Diosmin is a vascularprotecting agent used to treat chronic venous insuficiency, hemorrhoids, lymphedema, and varicose veins. Diosmin is also a powerful antiinflammatory and free-radical scavenging agent. Diosmin should also be used for dermatitis and wound healing.

Diosmin is derived by extracting hesperidin from citrus rinds, followed by conversion of hesperidin to diosmin. Diosmin has been used for more than 30 years as a vein tonic and vascularprotecting agent. It is now being researched for cancer, premenstrual syndrome, colitis, and diabetes.

Diosmin improves vein tone, increases lymphatic drainage, protects capillaries, inhibits inflammation, and reduces capillary fragility and permeability.

Diosmin and Varicose Veins/Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency is characterized by pain, leg heaviness, a sensation of swelling and cramps, and is often seen in those with varicose veins. A multicentre international trial involving 5,052 people with chronic venous insufficiency evaluated Diosmin. Patients were treated with 450 mg diosmin and 50 mg hesperidin daily for six months. Continuous clinical improvement was found throughout the study, as well as improvements in quality of life scores for participants.

Diosmin has also been effective in treating severe stages of chronic venous insufficiency, including venous ulceration and delayed healing. In a randomized multicentre trial, 900 mg diosmin and 100 mg hesperidin was given to patients in the treatment group. Complete healing of ulcers less than 10 cm in diameter was found.

Diosmin and Hemorrhoids
Several large clinical trials have demonstrated diosmin to be effective in the treatment of acute and chronic symptoms of hemorrhoids. A doubleblind, placebo-controlled study of 120 patients showed improvement of pain, pruritis, discharge, edema, erythema, and bleeding on examination. The treatment group was given diosmin and hesperidin for two months. Elimination of acute and chronic hemorrhoids was successful.

Diosmin and Lymphedema
Diosmin acts on the lymphatic system by increasing lymph flow and lymph oncotic pressure. Diosmin was used to treat upper limb lymphedema secondary to conventional therapy for breast cancer. Results showed improvement of symptoms and limb volume; the mean decrease in volume of the swollen limb reached 6.8 percent.

There are no documented cases of adverse interactions between diosmin and prescription medications.

Horse Chestnut
Horse Chestnut extract is used for the treatment of the symptoms of venous insuffciency (including pain and heaviness in the legs), night time cramps in the calves, and itchy, swollen legs; along with phlebitis and varicose veins. It is also effective for hemorrhoids, skin inflammation and premenstrual syndrome.

Aescin, the active ingredient in horse chestnut, tones the walls of the veins, improving the flow of blood back to the heart. It also relieves swelling by stopping excessive leakage through the walls of the capillaries (the tiny vessels that deliver blood to the tissues).

Horse Chestnut’s ability to relieve swelling in the legs has been confirmed in several rigorous clinical trials where it proved to be as effective as the uncomfortable compression stockings that are often prescribed.

For example, a 1996 study involving 240 patients, reported that horse chestnut seed extract (aescin, 50 mg twice a day) provided the same relief from lower leg swelling (edema) as compression (support) stockings.

An analysis of 13 clinical trials published in Archives of Dermatology in 1998 found Horse chestnut extract was significantly better than a placebo in relieving vein-related leg problems such as varicose veins.

Painful and inflamed hemorrhoids subside with the addition of horse chestnut extract for the same reasons that the remedy is so effective for varicose veins. By strengthening and toning the veins, as well as actually lessening swelling and fluid retention in the body, the hemorrhoid—a swollen vein itself—can recede.

Butcher’s broom extract
Butcher’s broom (Ruscus aculeatus) has been shown in several clinical trials to reduce varicose veins and hemorrhoids, and to treat the itching and burning of hemorrhoids. It is also used to help treat lower leg discomfort, including cramps, pain, itching and swelling, caused by pooling of blood in the veins. Research has also evaluated the combination of butcher’s broom along with hesperidin and horse chestnut extract.

A 1994 review of the pharmacological studies indicated that butcher’s broom extract exerts activity on the three levels of circulation involved in chronic venous insufficiency. It acts on lymphatic drainage, the constriction of blood vessels and microcirculation. When used in combination with the other ingredients in VeinSense, it also improves the strength of veins and reduces permeability. Butcher’s broom has been found to reduce blood pooling in the lower leg and also the size of the ankle and lower leg. Butcher’s broom also reduces enlarged veins.

During a 2-month treatment period with butcher’s broom extract in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 60 patients with CVI, a significant reduction in heavy legs, tired legs, evening edema, pain, pruritus and cramps was seen. Reduction in average ankle circumference for the treatment group compared to placebo was significant at the end of the trial.

Butcher’s Broom and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
In a randomized, double-blind trial, 40 women suffering PMS received either butcher’s broom extract along with diosmin or placebo for 90 days. Breast pain (Mastalgia), menstrual pain and mood were significantly improved in the treatment group compared to the placebo.

Hesperidin
Hesperidin is the main flavonoid in lemons and oranges. The peel and membrane have the highest hesperidin concentrations. Th erefore, orange juice containing pulp is richer in the flavonoid than that without pulp. Sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis) and tangelos are the richest dietary sources of hesperidin. Hesperidin is classified as a citrus bioflavonoid.

Hesperidin, in combination with diosmin, is used in Europe for the treatment of venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids. Hesperidin reduces the permeability of capillaries and is an anti-inflammatory. In combination with diosmin, hesperidin has significantly improved acute internal hemorrhoids of pregnancy in a clinical open trial.
