Easton, MD (PRWEB) July 13, 2007

Konsyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a leading producer of high quality, natural supplements, will be introducing a new product for the Bladder Health category in August, 2007. The new bladder control formula combines a concentrated lipid-free pumpkin seed extract with SoyLife® soy germ isoflavone extract and is clinically shown to support bladder health in aging men and women*.

Several studies in both men and women have shown the ingredients in this formula to be effective at supporting bladder health. The blend was also well-tolerated, as the studies found no serious side effects. Relevant studies include a six-week long trial involving 39 women between 52 and 86 years of age. When they were given a supplement with pumpkin seed extract and soy isoflavone extract, the subjects were reported to have a decrease in urination and a subsequent improvement in sleeping patterns. Another six-week study – with two groups of men over the age of 65 – looked at a condition called pollakuria that disturbs sleep because of the strong desire to urinate. Among those participants who were given the blend over 86 percent reported a significant decrease in symptoms.

The Cystitis and Overactive Bladder Foundation suggests various factors for alleviating the symptoms of overactive bladder conditions: lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, use of a pocket-sized urinal device, or medication.

Konsyl’s “Bladder Control Formula” will be available August 15 for sale online at http://www.konsyl.com.

Konsyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of high quality, natural fiber supplements for improved intestinal and digestive health.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

Although men and women are both created equal in the eyes of society and United States Laws, they are highly different when it comes to each sexes’ nutritional needs. Recently an article at BeWellBuzz.com examined the many differences between the nutritional needs for both men and women and even which foods are better for both sexes.

It is a generally accepted medical practice in the field of health and nutrition that humans of any sex often enjoy longer, and more productive life when they follow balanced diets. However, due to subtle differences between a man and woman’s physical make up, there are many foods which are better for women to consume than men.

According to Pam Peeke, M.D., M.Ph., Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and author of the renowned Fight Fat After 40, women in particular need to consume particular groups of foods to help maintain energy levels, more so when they age. Though there are numerous super-foods which are beneficial for women of any age, there are a few in particular that can ward off breast cancer, osteoporosis, hot flashes, heart disease, and other conditions that commonly plague women.

When forming a list of must-have foods for women, it is important to consider the many cycles and phases in the female life including puberty, pregnancy, menopause and other hormonal changes. However, the popular Health and Wellness online portal BeWellBuzz.com has compiled a list of eight foods which are highly recommended for women regardless of age or hormonal levels.

Greens such as kale, spinach and broccoli almost always make it to innumerable super foods lists, and with good reason. Kale is replete with antioxidants, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K and is a God-send for those with bone and eye problems. Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C and beta carotene and is great for the skin. Spinach is packed with nutrients, and is high in Vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, beta carotene, Vitamin B, and folate. It boosts bone and eye health and is also highly recommended during pregnancy.

There is much more information included in this list as well as detailed information about advice, tips, suggestions and counselling in the areas of fitness, nutrition, holistic medicine and the latest development and findings in health science printed on the online pages of BeWellBuzz.com. To learn more about the many foods which are highly beneficial for women, visit http://www.bewellbuzz.com.

Singapore, Singapore (PRWEB) June 2, 2006

Current evidence suggests that suffering from back pain can actually shrink your brain. This is worrying because back pain is a common health problem worldwide. Back pain affects up to two-thirds of the adult population annually, which alone causes huge losses due to days off from work and school. Managing back pain is more important than ever, not only because of its economic costs, but also because of the newly discovered negative effect it has on the brain.

The good news is that back pain research has shown that simple methods can be very effective in reducing back pain. Recent findings have established that acupressure, an ancient Chinese healing technique, is more effective than standard physical therapies in relieving back pain.

Acupressure uses the same points as acupuncture, but instead of needles, acupressure uses only the fingertips. Because acupressure is non-invasive, it is one of the safest healing techniques known. And because it is efficient, acupressure is recommended for pain relief by respected health institutions, such as the WHO.

Virpi Tervonen, of http://www.HomeBackPainAcupressure.com, explains how an ordinary back pain sufferer can easily self-manage his or her back pain symptoms using simple acupressure techniques.

“The benefits of back pain acupressure are tremendous and can bring almost instant relief to persons with back pain.” says Virpi Tervonen, who herself has used acupressure to relieve her lower back pain, stiff neck, and to cure her sciatica when she first got the symptoms.

“I was lucky that I knew about acupressure and so I wasn’t caught in the painkiller trap. That’s why I want to share this remarkable knowledge to others at http://www.HomeBackPainAcupressure.com.” she continues.

Coast2Coast Rx Card

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

Coast2Coast Rx today announced that residents of Alameda County saved more than $ 1.1 million on the cost of prescriptions and healthcare services in 2011 by using the Coast2Coast Rx card. In December 2011 alone, residents saved more than $ 100,000 off the regular price of their prescription medications.

The county-approved prescription drug discount card gives residents access to the free, comprehensive program for savings on thousands of prescriptions and additional health services. With discounts of up to 75% on thousands of brand name and generic drugs, Alameda consumers have saved more than $ 2.5 million since the program’s inception in September 2009. With no cost or restrictions on age, health status or income, and with no paperwork to process, everyone is immediately eligible to use the plan, which is particularly useful to those without insurance and seniors.

“I’m extremely pleased with the success of the Coast2Coast discount Rx card program,” said Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty. “In these economic times many people are struggling to make ends meet — the Alameda County Coast2Coast Rx discount card gives residents an option to save on the cost of prescription drugs.”

Setting this free program apart from the rest is the revenue generated for the county — for each prescription filled using the card Coast2Coast Rx provides $ 1.25 to Alameda for health programs — making the card a simple and effective way for residents to give back to their community. Alameda County has set a strong example of how the Coast2Coast Rx card’s royalty program can be put back to use in the county — in 2011, the revenue generated by the card royalties funded the Healthy Living Festival at the Oakland Zoo. Targeted to the senior population throughout the County, the festival included free health screenings and the opportunity to get information on financial planning, food aid and even legal assistance.

In an effort to provide savings to as many consumers as possible, Coast2Coast Rx is working with public departments and local nonprofit agencies to increase awareness of the program; and encourages organizations and agencies providing social services to distribute the card to their constituents as a money-saving resource.

“Our goal is to let all area consumers know about Coast2Coast Rx card and its long-term benefits to Alameda County residents,” said Chief Marketing Officer Marty Dettelbach of Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc., the company that provides the discount prescription card. “There is tremendous potential for generating revenue for Alameda’s health programs like the Healthy Living Festival, furthering our goal of improving health outcomes and providing savings to households.”

For immediate savings on prescription costs, Alameda County residents can download and print their free card at http://www.coast2coastrx.com/alameda/.

About Coast2Coast Rx Card

The mission of the Coast2Coast Rx Card is to provide a universe of prescription savings options while improving health outcomes. The Coast2Coast Rx Card has provided millions of dollars in savings on prescription drugs for its program members. A product of Financial Marketing Concepts, Inc., a Florida corporation (“FMC”), that is a leader in the supplemental benefits field, the Coast2Coast Rx Card was developed as a result of the belief that the cost of products and services has risen so drastically that a need has arisen among many families to supplement these costs with benefit programs and prescription cards.

Katie Jennings teaches ICD-10 to Certified Professional Coders (CPC) at local AAPC Chapter

Loudoun County, VA (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

Capture Billing & Consulting, Inc. (http://www.CaptureBilling.com), a national medical billing company located in South Riding, Virginia, is proud to announce that Katie Jennings, will be presenting at the Leesburg Virginia Chapter of American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) on Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Mrs. Jennings will be discussing the importance of medical terminology for the ICD-10, scheduled to be released in 2013.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has authorized the International Classification of Dieases (ICD-9-CM) currently used by medical billers and coders for health care diagnoses and procedures to be replaced by ICD-10 on October 1, 2013. Once implemented, ICD-10 will require more detail and knowledge with medical terminology.

ICD-10 has eliminated the most unspecified diagnoses; the few that remain will most likely not get paid by insurance companies. Coding to the highest level of specificity has now been taken to a whole new level and every specialty will be impacted. It will be imperative for medical coders, medical billers and other healthcare professionals to read and understand medical documentation, chart notes, medical abbreviations and patient disease processes.

“The changes in diagnosis coding and the transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10 is going to be exciting! The coder/biller must have a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, disease processes, pathology and medical terminology,” says Jennings.

Along with being an employee at Capture Billing, Katie currently teaches a variety of medical billing and coding classes at the Loudoun Campus of Northern Virginia Community College. Her in-depth knowledge of medical terminology, medical billing, medical coding and medical collections has made Katie an expert in her field.

To learn more about ICD-10 and other medical billing and coding topics subscribe to Capture Billing’s Medical Billing and Coding Blog at http://www.CaptureBilling.com/blog .

Capture Billing and Consulting, Inc., a leader in the outsourced medical billing services industry, offers one of the most cost effective outsourcing solutions to healthcare professionals available. By eliminating the need of an in-house medical billing staff, Capture Billing’s staff of expert medical billers and certified professional coders help to increase physician reimbursement by improving collection rates and ensuring proper ICD-9 and CPT coding, and soon will offer ICD-10 training.

Vasectomy Reversal Specialist Dr. Buch

Dallas, TX (Vocus/PRWEB) February 16, 2011

Dr. Buch, director of Legacy Male Health Institute, recently completed an exciting trip to Israel as one of 4 North American doctors comprising a Urology delegation led by Dr. Laurence Ross, past president of the American Urological Association. Dr. Ross arranged a fascinating itinerary of medical meetings with several of the top Urologists in Israel, including visits to Medical Centers in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Nahariya, in conjunction with the People to People Ambassadors program.

Although there was some time for sightseeing in between the action packed schedule of medical meetings, Dr. Buch was most impressed by the warmth, intelligence and hard working nature of his Israeli counterparts. Regarding aspects of male health in which Dr. Buch is a recognized expert, including vasectomy, vasectomy reversal and male sexual dysfunction, only male sexual dysfunction is receiving significant clinical and research attention from Israeli urologists.

One of the challenges discussed are the reluctance to perform vasectomy as a procedure for family planning in Israel, and so there is not a significant need for vasectomy reversal. Dr. Buch was keen to exchange thoughts and suggestions on ways to educate potential clients on the benefits of vasectomy and vasectomy reversal . “This is quite a contrast from our situation in the USA where vasectomy and vasectomy reversal are both very common,” according to Dr. Buch.

The Israeli urologists are very advanced in their attention to the treatment of urologic cancers and kidney stone disease. Some exciting preliminary clinical research studies are also being conducted for the non-surgical treatment of erectile dysfunction. Dr. Buch expresses his sincere thanks to Dr. Ross, his American and Israeli urologic colleagues, and the People to People program for providing him this “opportunity of a lifetime.” With the visit to Israel, Dr. Buch renews its commitment to the medical community to raise awareness in the US and across the globe.

About Legacy Male Health Institute:

Legacy Male Health Institute is a Dallas-based male infertility clinic led by Dr. Jeffrey Buch. Dr. Buch is a leading expert in microsurgical vasectomy reversals.
