How to avoid mail order scams

How to avoid mail order scams

(NC)-Concerns about mail order scams are way up there on Canadian consumer complaint lists. Here, according to information on Industry Canadas Consumer Information Gateway website, are some ways to protect yourself when buying things through the mail:

.. Beware of exaggerated or vague claims about products or unusually low prices in advertisements.

.. Keep a complete record of your order, including a copy of the ad (newspaper issue, brochure or T.V. channel that carried the ad), the companys name and address, date of order and a photocopy of all cheques or money orders.

.. A legitimate company should send you a list of customers in your area upon request. You can contact these people to see

if they are satisfied with the company, or contact your local Better Business Bureau to check the reputation of the company.

.. Check the merchandise as soon as it arrives in case it is broken or faulty. Try to return defective or broken items in the original packaging.

Monobrex – Monobrex

Monobrex is a safe, all-natural blend of herbs and vitamins. Monobrex is uniquely designed to boost your immune system and cleanse your liver, aiding in your body s attack against the infection. It contains eucalyptus and peppermint which sooth a sore and swollen throat. Monobrex reduces swelling in the lymph nodes, including the spleen, which filters blood by detecting and attacking foreign substances in the blood, before it reaches the liver. Monobrex is an botanical blend proven to support spleen and liver function and boost your immune system so that infections can be attacked and destroyed quickly, and you can get back to your life again.

Monobrex will not cure you of mono there is no cure for mono because it is a viral infection. It will stay dormant in your blood for the rest of your lifetime. Once you have had mono, it is uncommon to have a relapse.

However, if you have not fully recovered from mono and try to get back to a normal regime you could be endangering yourself. There are numerous cases reported of people who did not fully recover from mono because they tried to get back to their normal life too soon and they have acquired a socially, financially and even physically debilitating condition-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Monobrex is powerful. It is a safe and effective way to get relief from sore throat and infections caused by mono after it has weakened your immune system. Many doctors have prescribed patients steroids to relieve them of strep and sinus infections, and other symptoms that might accompany mono. While this may take care of the immediate problem, steroids have been known to have serious side effects such as weight gain, acne, joint distress, mood changes, and more. Monobrex is completely all-natural, a safe blend of botanical extracts and vitamins that naturally assist your body in fighting infection. The only side affect is a quick recovery!

You know how it works Monobrex gives your immune system a super-charge. Here s why it works:

Monobrex is a powerful combination of 20 all-natural ingredients that are essential to making it effective in boosting your immune system. But what exactly is your immune system? It is fairly complex. Your immune system is a method of defense that your body has developed using specific organs which perform a series of complex, sometimes life-saving actions.

Your spleen is crucial to this system. It is essentially a really large lymph node. The lymph nodes, specifically the spleen, filter blood for the rest of the body. When there is an infection, these nodes and organs swell. This is for two reasons: (1) The increase of white bloods cells to fight off infection and (2) the increase of antibodies which “study” the infection so that if it is ever present again in your blood your body is equipped to fight it. They also attack and destroy infections. Mono is considered a systemic infection which means it is present throughout the whole body, not just in one location. For this reason your spleen is involved, not just the lymph nodes you may be familiar with in your neck or armpits.

Your spleen filters blood before it reaches the liver which performs many of the same purifying actions that the spleen does. When your body is overrun with infection, as is the case with mono, your spleen and liver must work incredibly hard to defend the body and filter the blood. This is why a pain on the left side of your abdomen is common during mono – that s your swollen spleen. This is also why it can take so long to get better from mono. There is a lot of infection for your body to fight.

Your liver is working hard at the same time to filter and purify your blood and other bodily fluids. It is easy for your lymphatic system to be flooded. The more you try to keep up with daily life while infected with mono, the less energy your body has to fight the infection. This causes you to

experience the symptoms of mono for weeks and sometimes months.

Monobrex is a power-packed blend of herbs and vitamins specificy for detoxifying your liver and spleen. This lymphatic support enables your body to fight the infection faster and more effectively than all by itself and to prevent a relapse of symptoms from ever occurring.

There are no dangerous or harmful steroids, additives or fillers in Monobrex which would create an even more toxic environment in your liver and force your body to work even harder. That could potentially cause you to experience even greater fatigue and long periods of painful symptoms.

Along with steroids and additives, there are other substances you should carefully avoid while infected with mono which are well-known toxins to your body. These are: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, white flour, and processed foods. For some of these it is almost impossible to avoid eating; they are in almost everything we consume. However the two most important substances to avoid are caffeine (found in coffee, tea, chocolate and soda) and alcohol. If you or your child is infected with mono these could delay or even worsen symptoms. Combining Monobrex with a diet high in fresh raw vegetables and fresh fruit will guarantee fast recovery in 10 days flat.

Just a few of the ingredients in Monobrex include:

Milk Thistle- proven toprotect the liver by strengthening the outer membranes of liver cells, which prevents toxins from entering the cells, also stimulates protein production in liver cells, which helps to restore and repair the liver
Astragalus Root- a member of the pea family, it increases the levels of certain immune cells that fight viruses, also stimulates the secretion of a powerful anti-viral chemical known as interferon, which prevents viruses from replicating, boosts the levels of anti-bodies in the body.
Cleavers- known to eliminate toxins from the body, helps drain the lymphatic system of excess fluids and toxins, cooling to the skin, lymphatic system and rest of the body
Dandelion Root- well-known as a blood and liver purifier, assisting the liver, kidneys and spleen in expelling toxins and obstructions
Echinacea- well-known and widely respected as in immune booster, commonly used to fight cold and flu symptoms, all of which occur with mono
Eucalyptus and Peppermint- calming and soothing both on the insides and the throat
Citrus Bioflavonoids- work like Vitamin C to help the body absorb other nutrients, known to reduce inflammation
Vitamin B12- restores red blood cells which in turn restores energy to the body; most of the B12 in our bodies is stored in the liver, this ingredient is crucial to regaining energy
As you can see, Monobrex contains the necessary ingredients guaranteed to give your immune system a super-charge. It is

All-natural and safe
Powerful
Proven effective
Supports, strengthens and super-charges your immune system
A sensible, valuable solution
Monobrex has been used successfully by thousands of people trying to get their life back to normal since being infected with mono. Do you really want to lie around for seemingly endless weeks, maybe even months, just waiting for the symptoms of mono to wear off? Aren t you tired of being inactive, unable to function normally day to day? You don t have to worry any more about how long you ll be down for the count. Monobrex will have you back up and back to normal so you can get on with your life.

No other product, remedy, or prescription has been more safe and successful in stimulating the immune system than Monobrex. It is firmly backed by our no questions asked, 100 percent money back guarantee policy that ensures your success or you pay nothing. Its that simple.

Free arbitration service helps unhappy car buyers

Free arbitration service helps unhappy car buyers

(NC)-If you are unhappy with a new car youve just bought, and arent getting satisfaction, try contacting CAMVAP. Its an “arbitration” program that can help you resolve disputes with an automobile manufacturer about the quality of your vehicle or how the manufacturer is interpreting or implementing its new vehicle warranty. Most domestic and imported passenger cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and multi-purpose passenger vehicles that are purchased or leased in Canada are covered. The vehicle must be from the current or one of the previous four (4) model years.

CAMVAP was created in 1994 by government and others to help consumers resolve disputes with vehicle manufacturers or distributors in a way that is fair, fast, free, friendly and final. It is currently the largest consumer product arbitration plan in Canada.

Arbitration means that you and the vehicle manufacturer both agree to accept the decision of an impartial person (the arbitrator) who will listen to

both sides of the case, weigh the evidence, and make a decision that is final and binding on both you and the manufacturer.

Choose carefully between going to CAMVAP or going to court. The range of remedies or solutions available to the arbitrator may same as what is available to you by going to court. Make sure you choose the alternative that is best for you and your situation.

You should also check the consumer protection laws in your Province or Territory as they may suggest another course of action.

MINIMIZE SKIN SCARRING

MINIMIZE SKIN SCARRING
Whether caused by injury, surgery, or burn, scars can be disfiguring. Scars stand out against the rest of the skin because scar tissue is different than ordinary skin. As a result, scars usually take a different color. The severity of a scar depends on many factors including the size and depth of the wound, the thickness and color of the skin. Some people, especially those with deeper skin tones, have a tendency to produce prominent raised scars.

If you’re like most people, you have few battle scars. Lifelong reminders of the time you wiped out on your bike at age 6, the knee surgery you had in college, a bad sunburn, or a recent run-in with a paring knife. Fortunately, many scars will fade in time; for those that don’t, products like Rejuvenating Cream, distributed by IH Distribution LLC (www.ihdistribution.com) will help reduce or eliminate scarring.

Some tips for scar management and minimizing scarring:

DON’T wipe fresh wounds with hydrogen peroxide. The bubbles make is feel like something good is happening, but hydrogen peroxide actually destroys new skin cells that immediately begin to grow.

DO cover a cut. The old wives tale about allowing a “fresh” cut to breathe will actually not support rapid healing. A covered cut actually heals by as much as 50% faster. The moisture that builds up in a covered cut prevents formation of a hard scab, which acts as a barrier to the growth of new skin. The covering should be changed daily and an antibiotic ointment, which also prevents infection, actually speeds up skin’s repair. After a week, replacing antibiotic cream with petroleum jelly keeps the skin soft, allowing it to grow optimally.

DON’T fall for the tale about treating with Vitamin E. A major study at the University of Miami has shown putting liquid Vitamin E on a wound actually impairs healing.

DO apply constant pressure on a fresh wound with a sterile bandage or silicone sheeting pad. Constant pressure actually helps to flatten the skin on both sides of a wound to reduce scarring.

DON’T expose new scars to the sun. UV rays are detrimental to the healing process and actually cause skin discoloration, which highlights the scar. Always cover a

scar or healing wound or use a premium broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

IH Distribution LLC (www.ihdistribution.com) distributes a premium product called “Take Cover for Face and Body”. It’s water resistant, PBA free and protects from both UVA and UVB rays. It is rated SPF 30+ and it formulated with antioxidant vitamins A, C, & E. It is both Pediatrician and Dermatologist tested, is guaranteed non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

DO gently massage the scar once the surface is healed. Gentle massage helps breakdown the dense bands of skin that attach to the underlying tissue, which is a common physiological reaction to cesarean sections, appendectomies, and hand wounds. Once skin has grown over the site, gently massaging with a lotion such as Rejuvenating Cream by IH Distribution LLC (www.ihdistribution.com) is effective. Dr. Robert Bernard, M.D., Plastic Surgeon in New York, states gently massaging with an effective cream is one of the most effective techniques, early on, to minimize scarring.

DON’T ignore a scar that becomes inflamed, reddened, raised, or itchy. These signs may indicate an infection or allergic reaction to the antibacterial cream used or even the bandage.

DO ask your physician to eliminate stitches before they leave “track marks”. Usually after a week’s time, skin is healed sufficient for stitch removal and this prevents the little bumps that form on either side of the incision and can become permanent reminders.

Cosmetics applied correctly can also be ver good at covering scars. Stick with all-natural products that do not contain animal product or by-products or petroleum based formulations.

HOW TO FIND A GYM AND START EXERCISING

Copyright 2005 Michael Brooks

There is hardly a week that passes without an article or study touting the benefits of exercise. Exercise to cure cancer, exercise to lose weight, feel better, live longer, and stop dementia, the list appears endless. The benefits of exercise sound fantastic but there is just one problem. You have to exercise to gain the benefits! For many, this is a big problem.

So, what can you do to get yourself motivated to join the wonderful world of exercising? A great solution is to join a gym where you are in the company of like-minded people. Joining a gym for the first time or after a period of inactivity can be a little scary. I hope this article will make your fitness journey a little easier.

Aren’t all gyms pretty much the same?

The short answer would be. … NO. Every gym has it’s own personality both in the equipment and the type of people it attracts. Some gyms cater to weight lifters with lots of free weights and little else, while other facilities might cater to working women and offer activities such as yoga, spinning or aerobics. There are locally owned gyms and nationwide chains. Small gyms as well as mega fitness centers. There is a gym for everybody but it will take a little footwork to find your perfect fit.

What’s the most important feature when looking for a gym?

In my opinion, location must be considered before anything else. Absence will not make the heart grow fonder. A gym more than 10 minutes from your home or office will end up not getting used. If you like to work out in the morning you might want to stick with gyms close to home. If you’re a lunchtime sweat maven then a gym near work could be a better option. Some of the larger chains may have facilities by both work and home. In addition, if you travel, gyms with multiple locations may let you work out for FREE, or at a discount, if they have a facility at your travel destination.

Other Features to Consider
Membership Clientele – Check out the other patrons in the gym you are considering. Each gym has it’s own personality. Is it mostly women or men? Is everybody wearing fashionable workout gear or is it a shorts and t-shirt crowd? Does it cater to families or is it an adult’s only gym?

Equipment – The quality and variety of equipment is very important if you plan on starting a comprehensive fitness program. Is the equipment well maintained? Check to see how many machines are “out of order”. Check to see if free weights are offered as well as machines. Is there an adequate cardio section with plenty of bikes, climbers and treadmills? These tend to be high use pieces of equipment so it is important that the facility have

several.

Hours – Everybody has different times for his or her workouts. Make sure the gym you choose will accommodate your schedule. If you are an early bird and your gym opens at 10:00 a.m. then you are probably going to end up not using it despite the other features you find appealing.

Price – Don’t get fooled by a low-ball price. Make sure the membership includes the use of everything of interest to you. Some gyms have a low membership fee and then charge extra for using the tennis courts, pool, classes etc. Read the fine print. Also, there are all-inclusive low priced gyms that are in the business of selling memberships and don’t really care what happens after you sign up. You may find that half your town has a membership and you have to wait in line to use the equipment.

Management – Is there an active owner or manager on the premises? What is there policy regarding restacking your weights and the playing of loud music? In some gyms, anything goes and you may hear 3 or 4 different stereos playing at the same time, weights are thrown around and you can never find the equipment you would like to use. This is a sign of poor and inattentive management and should probably be removed from consideration.

Everybody is different and there is not a single solution for picking the ideal gym. The key is to find a place that you feel comfortable and that you will use on a regular basis. Working out is a habit that takes time to form. Don’t make an impulsive decision that will cause you to lose your desire to get in shape.

Before making a commitment, visit and workout at a few gyms that you are considering. Most facilities will let you try them out for a few days. Make sure you go at the times you would if you were to join. This will give you a feel for how crowded the equipment is at that time. Now, the only thing left to do is just go out and GET STARTED!!

Here is a list of several gyms with nationwide locations. These will offer a good starting point on your quest for the perfect gym. Check for locations in your area.

Mineral Makeup- Natural Beauty

As we become more aware of our environment and more aware of the products that we are putting into and onto our bodies, natural and homeopathic products are taking the cosmetic industry by storm.

It’s likely you’ve noticed new skincare and cosmetic companies popping up with “all natural” and “organic” products. Of course, just because they say they are, doesn’t necessarily make it true. That is where consumer education comes in, and why it is so important.

The title of this article is “Mineral Makeup”. After learning what mineral makeup is, what products go into it, and what its benefits are, you can decide if this is the right choice for you.

What Is Mineral Makeup?

Mineral makeup is designed from all naturally occurring products. It is often recommended by dermatologists to women with sensitive skin, rosacea, post operative, laser and other procedures because of its intrinsic skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a powder makeup of finely milled minerals. It can provide very sheer or very opaque coverage, depending on the formulation and application. However, it still allows natural skin radiance to show through, so you don’t get the dreaded “mask” look. It is typically free of fragrance and preservatives. Minerals cannot feed bacteria, so there is no danger of spoilage, thus it needs no preservatives. It does not go bad. It is very good for oily skin because it has several oil- absorbing components.

It is usually applied with a brush, and is typically shown to be “buffed” into the skin. This technique forces the makeup into your pores, which is never a good thing. A technique that works with better quality mineral makeup (which we’ll discuss later) is to “dust” the makeup on, instead of “buffing” it. If a brush irritates your skin, you can also use a non-latex or flocked sponge. Application can be done either wet or dry.

What Are The Ingredients?

This is the most important part. Learning what is in your makeup will give you the ability to choose what will meet your needs best. These are the ingredients you will

most likely come across.

Mineral Makeup a Natural Acne Cure?

Mineral makeup may offer new hope for acne sufferers. Because mineral makeup has several unique qualities not offered in any other makeup product that make it ideal for helping cure acne.

To understand how mineral makeup can cure your acne it is necissary to look at the seven causes of acne:

1. Genetics. Sadly, nothing can change your genetics. If your parents had acne as teenagers there is a good chance that you will too.

2. Hormones. During adolesence, hormones called androgens become active and stimulate oil glands in your skin, increasing oil production. This, in turn, clogs pores, causing pimples and blackheads.

3. Stress. Although stress doesnt actually cause acne, it can add to the problem by affecting hormones.

4. Diet. Many times what you eat has been shown to cause acne. Most of the time acne is an adverse reaction your body has to a food allergy.

5. Washing your face too often. This can irritate the skin making acne worse.

6. Medications. Many medications can cause acne or make an existing condition worse. Read labels or talk to your paharmacist to find out if acne is a side effect.

7. Using greasy skin care products and oily cosmetics. Most makeup falls into this category.

While these are the casuse of acne it is important to remember that acne is ultimately a result of bacteria growing in clogged pores. Bacteria is organic and thus cannot grow or multiply without the presence of water. This is where mineral makeup plays an

almost magical role in curing acne.

Mineral makeup is made of natural minerals derived from the earth, these minerals are not only inorganic but they are also extremely resistant to water. They actually act as a shield on your face keeping bacteria feeding moisture away from your pores. Mineral makeup is not soluable in water so even if you put water directly on your face the minerals will not be absorbed and the water cannot pass through.

Mineral makeup does not clog pores either. Because it is so finely milled during production, the granules are much smaller than your pores. This not only prevents acne from forming, but makes the makeup extremely easy to blend into the skin with a very flawless look and conceals problem areas very well. If you suffer from a break out the finely milled minerals are very effective as disguising it.

Because of these and other unique qualities mineral makeup is known througout the world as the skin care makeup and recommended to acne sufferers by dermatologists. Ultimately, it does not matter what the cause of your acne is, without water to feed the bacteria, and something to clog the pores and hold that moisture in acne cannot form or worsen. If you suffer from acne, mineral makeup may end up being your best friend.

How To Effectively Clean A White Tongue, The Cause Of Bad Breath

Have you ever noticed that sometimes you have a white tongue? A white tongue is something that nobody wants to have. Why? A white tongue not only looks abnormal, but if left untreated, its a strong indication of a bad breath problem.

People who have a white tongue, also known as a geographic tongue, are definitely more likely to experience an abnormally colored tongue. Geographic tongue simply means a tongue that has lots of grooves and fissures in it. These grooves and fissures make an excellent breeding ground for the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath and a white tongue. Under certain conditions, a geographic tongue can be white, yellow, even black in color. A geographic tongue can also be coated and sometimes dry and cracked. The way around this problem is simply making sure that your tongue is kept as clean as possible. But…not all tongue cleaning is created equal.

Tongue cleaning or tongue scraping is a process that the majority of people in the United States dont do on a daily basis. Yet, its one of the most important steps you can take to keep your breath clean and fresh!

MYTHS ABOUT CLEANING A WHITE TONGUE

MYTH #1: You have to scrape hard to clean a white tongue. This is false! You do not need to scrape your tongue so hard that it bleeds. In general, pressing harder does not remove more bacteria. You simply need to press hard enough that the tongue cleaner youre using is pressed flush across the surface of your white tongue. Try not to leave any gaps.

MYTH #2: Tongue Cleaning Alone Prevents Bad Breath. This is also false! Tongue cleaning alone does not kill the bacteria that cause bad breath that are breeding below the surface of a white tongue. It simply removes the gunk on the surface. This gunk (mucus and food debris) is a food source for anaerobic bacteria, the cause of a white tongue.

MYTH #3: You must use a complex, expensive gizmo to successfully clean your tongue. Again false! Really, all you need is a fairly rigid instrument, that you can easily make flush on the surface of your white tongue and cover the largest area possible. Those electronic tongue cleaners you see can be helpful if you have arthritis, difficulty with coordination, or in general have a a tough time performing some simple actions on tongue cleaning, which Ill outline below.

Tongue cleaning is really not that difficult to do, and its not even very time consuming. That extra minute or two you spend on your tongue per day can reap huge

rewards in preventing bad breath. Itll help prevent a white tongue, return it to its normal color, and most importantly cut down on bad breath.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO SUCCESSFULLY CLEAN A WHITE TONGUE

STEP 1: Starting at the base of your tongue, place a tongue cleaner/scraper flush against your tongues surface and make slow sweeping strokes from the back to the front. You can start at either side of your tongue and work your way across to the other side. Depending on the tongue cleaner you are using, you might need to make three to four different swaths across your white tongue.

STEP 2: Once the surface debris from your white tongue has been removed, apply a small bead of toothpaste to the head of your tongue cleaner. Make sure your toothpaste does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate because this ingredient will dry out your mouth. I recommend using TheraBreath Oxygenating Toothpaste (http://www.therabreath.com/products.asp?CAT=3).

STEP 3: Gently coat the surface of your tongue (as far back as possible without gagging yourself) with the toothpaste. This allows the toothpaste to penetrate below the surface of your tongue and neutralize those sulfur-producing anaerobic bacteria. Believe it or not, there are more bacteria in the rear of your tongue than in the front!

STEP 4: Once your tongue is coated, allow the toothpaste to stay on the surface of your tongue as long as you can. Up to 90 seconds is ideal. If you begin to cough, or your gag reflex kicks in, thats okay, just spit whenever you need to.

STEP 5: Ideally, its best to leave the toothpaste on the surface of your tongue, while you brush your teeth normally.

Following this routine daily gives you the most benefit possible in cleaning a white tongue. This routine will help prevent white tongue, keep your breath fresh, and give a geographic white tongue its best possible chance at maintaining the normal, healthy, pink color that everyone would like to have.
