While the concept of promoting a product or service is nothing new, the

>>>                      Invention Helps Spray Away Pain
>>> The Blade-Citizen News
>>> By Kim Horner
>>> Staff Writer
>>>
>>>Aspirin, Tylenol and ibuprofen pills have been killing the pain for
years. But a Vista company hopes to revolutionize the pain-relief industry
with a new spray-on formula called TheraPain.
>>>
>>>"It could be the Heinz 57 of the pain-relief business," said Seymour
Thomas, senior chemist for TheraPain products.
>>>
>>>Thomas claims that by spraying away the pain, TheraPain works faster than
pills to block the nerves messages to the brain. With recent reports of the
potentially harmful long-term effects of aspirin, ibuprofen and other pain
relievers, many consumers want a topical solution, he added.
>>>
>>>The company became listed with the Food and Drug Administration two years
ago and has sold more than 200,000 bottles of TheraPain in Canada, Chief
Executive Officer Ted Laoudis said.
>>>
>>>Laoudis said he created TheraPain eight years ago to find a natural
pain-relief method.
>>>
>>>The active ingredient is menthol imported from the Brazilian rain forest.
The formula also includes isopropyl alcohol, purified water, pepppermint
oil, educalyptus oil, skin conditioner and a secret ingredient that delivers
TheraPain from the skin's surface to the point of pain, Laoudis said.
>>>
>>>TheraPain advertises relief for back pain, sports injuries, neck and back
aches, sprains, cramps, sore feet, arthritis and other minor ailments. It
feels cold when applied and soothes sore muscles.
>>>
>>>Michael Kaplan, Vice President of operations, said he was sold on
TheraPain when he used it for sore muscles.
>>>
>>>"I was limping, I couldn't even walk," Kaplan said. But the TheraPain
made the muscle soreness go away by the next day, he said.
>>>
>>>Laoudis said, Therapain, which sells for $14.95 for a 4-ounce bottle, is
a mix of ancient and new technology. "It's probably been used for centuries
in folk medicine," Laoudis said.
>>>
>>>The company also has a shower gel pain reliever, Body Buzzz which is also
said to promote hair growth. Also a roll-on for customers with arthritis,
Thomas said. "A pump is hard for someone with arthritis to operate," Thomas
said.
>>>
>>>Also, in their arsenal of products is a natural relief foot spray for
people that are on their feet all day and a natural skin cream which leaves
no residue called, Smooth Secrets.
>>>
>>>Dr. Cynthia Lozier, a family physician and specialist in internal
medicine, points out how TheraPain can be of value to patients who worry
about a long-term regimen of prescription pain killers.
>>>
>>>"Not only does TheraPain offer an effective self-medicating alternative
to prescription drugs. For many people, it is certainly a less expensive
route for many patients who need relief from chronic pain. TheraPain seems
to have found the right combination for diverting the pain path to the
brain, a trick which all topically applied analgesics have as their goal,"
says Dr. Lozier.

>>>Afraid to use your credit card over the internet? SecurePay could be the
solution. The SecurePay system uses Smart Wallet technology that permits any
customer to purchase from a SecurePay merchant.
>>>

merchant's Web server to the SecurePay Decryption Center. There it is
decrypted, authorization is performed through the merchant's credit card

>>>             M e l a t o n i n: The Hottest Hormone Of All
>>>                     American Health Magazine
>>>
>>>We've lived through the oat bran craze, and we're still in love with
antioxidant vitamins. Now comes melatonin, the "miracle" hormone reputed to
promote sleep, prevent cancer and keep us from growing old.
>>>
>>>Since August, 1995, there have been at least five books published on the
hormone, which is made in the pea-sized pineal gland buried in the center of
the brain.
>>>
>>>My guess is that if you did a profile of the buyers of Melatonin, they'd
be between 37 and 57, says Dr. Robert Butler, a gerontologist at Mount Sinai
Medical Center in New York City. Baby boomers want a more vital middle and
old age than what they've seen their parents go through.
>>>
>>>When functioning properly, the pineal gland produces melatonin in the
evening hours and into the night, which sets the internal biological clock
that governs our cycles or rhythms. Certain enzymes in the pineal gland are
activated by darkness. As the sun goes down, malatonin is released and sleep
results. As morning approaches and light intensifies, melatonin levels
decrease as we awaken after a light intensifies, melatonin levels decrease
as we awaken after a restful sleep. If adequate levels are not produced or
are not produced at the proper time, we cannot experience quality sleep.

>>>         New Free Radical Scavenger Boosts Your Body's Defense System!
>>>
>>>You can't escape free radicals! If you live on planet earth, you are in a
molecular battlefield, exposed to free radicals as a result of your own
lifestyle. The following things cause free radical damage: * Cigarette smoke
* Perservatives * Air Pollution * Pesticides * Too much Sun * Excessive
Exercise * Fried Foods/Cured Meats * X-Rays/Radiation * Television/Computers
* Cleaning Products
>>>Free Radicals cause premature aging and play a major role in the
development of chronic and degenerative diseases. They alter our DNA and
destroy our cells. Because of the toxic environment we live in, many of us
do not have healthy blood.
>>>
>>>Antioxidants are the key elements in the defense system which the body
uses in order to neutralize the activity of these dangerous free radical
enemies. The most powerful antioxidants in the arsenal of free radical
warfare are Proanthocyanadins, also known as Pycnogenols.
>>>
>>>Proanthocynadins have an anti-flammatory effect due to their ability to
block the hormone that releases histamine, which causes inflammation. This
is why it is so effective on "-itis" type disorders. Proanthocyanadins not
only strengthen capillaries, blood vessels, veins, and arteries, they help
keep red blood cell membranes strong and flexible, which greatly aids your
body's defense.
>>>
