Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2012

Unlike Ian Gold’s blocked punt for a touchdown on Monday Night Football during his NFL rookie season (see video attached), it’s the long list of indiscretions he committed throughout the remainder of his NFL career—panicking through multiple pregnancy scares, contracting STDs, becoming addicted to sex and pornography, surviving several run-ins with death, encountering a woman who deceptively became pregnant, and being tempted to give in to her demand for money in exchange for an abortion, all this while blowing millions of dollars—which he discloses in his new memoir that will, undoubtedly, forewarn members of the 2012 NFL Rookie Class, and captivate a national audience.

Gold’s page-turning memoir takes readers on a roller coaster ride of emotions, as he describes in great depth and detail his once paralyzing sexual addiction, his waste of time, energy and resources, and his ultimate discovery of being useless to God.

“Sure, I had money in the bank, beautiful women in my bed, million dollar cribs, and luxury cars…but even with all of that, I still felt empty inside,” says Gold, when asked about the lifestyle he led during his years in the NFL.

Gold’s memoir not only appeals to football fans and professional athletes, but it also appeals to readers, young and old, who have always wanted an inside look at the over-glamourized, immoral lifestyle that some professional athletes and entertainers choose to lead.

Since retiring from the NFL in 2008, Gold has traveled across the country and beyond in a effort to share his life’s journey with others, founded http://www.whatarekidssaying.com, a website that offers kids and teenagers a international platform to express their hearts and minds through creative writing, produced a music album entitled, “A Lion’s Heart,” all prior to writing his personal memoir.

TravelCare delivers this information 24/7 and 365 days per year via the Internet in printable and email formats.

“With 61 million International travelers departing from the US each year, we know how important it is to ensure they travel safely from both a health and safety perspective.

QUINCY, Mass. (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Geek may be the new chic but weird is the new wonderful.

In her new children’s book, “Vanilla Gorilla: Animal Art & Poems” (published by AuthorHouse), Judith Krimski celebrates the animal kingdom’s most curious creations. Through the stories of these unique animals, Krimski hopes to spread the message of self-acceptance to discouraged youth.

“I recall the first time I felt the passion for art and creativity,” Krimski says. “I was in kindergarten, and I distinctly remember the elation of creating something beautiful out of paste and construction paper.

“It was one of the happiest moments of my life and I hope the book inspires that creativity in children.”

The book covers a variety of the animal kingdom’s most mysterious members, from the aye-aye and fanaloka to the mandrill. Each animal comes complete with vibrant illustrations and engaging poems that will inspire children’s imaginations while also expanding their vocabulary.

“The poems are meant inspire curiosity about the animal world and get kids excited about learning new words.” Krimski says. “I hope they’ll see that being different and unique is what makes every one of us special.”

Praise for “Vanilla Gorilla”: “With the multitude of children’s books published every year, it is often difficult for a new book to stand out, especially one that doesn’t feature licensed characters from television or other media. Vanilla Gorilla: Animal Art & Poems does stand out because it’s that good.” Five star review from ForeWord Reviews https://www.forewordreviews.com/reviews/vanilla-gorilla/

Celebrity Chef Spike Mendelsohn

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn knows all too well the effects of a busy and hectic lifestyle – especially for a person with acid reflux disease (ARD). But while he’s used to firing up the grill, Chef Spike has also had to learn how to turn down the heat on his heartburn associated with ARD. To raise awareness and understanding about the importance of managing heartburn symptoms of ARD, including through lifestyle modifications, Chef Spike is cooking up an exciting recipe with Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. (Takeda), makers of the prescription medication DEXILANT (dexlansoprazole), through the educational campaign and contest, Don’t Let it Burn (DontLetitBurn.com).

To view the multimedia release and for additional information about Don’t Let it Burn and DEXILANT, please visit http://www.LowertheHeatonHeartburn.com.

“Food is not only one of my passions, it’s my life and as a chef, I know all about long days and nights. And, for me, certain foods and stress can aggravate my symptoms,” Chef Spike shared. “But as the saying goes, if I can’t take the heat, I should get out of the kitchen. So I’ve worked with my doctor to come up with a treatment plan that, for me, includes taking DEXILANT, which helps me to manage my acid reflux disease.”

Also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux disease is often a chronic condition affecting nearly 19 million Americans, and is characterized by persistent heartburn that occurs two or more days a week despite treatment and diet changes. Acid reflux disease should be managed with lifestyle changes and by working closely with a physician, not only to help relieve the uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms, but to heal damage (erosions) in the esophagus, a condition known as erosive esophagitis (EE).

“In the 40 years I’ve spent in clinical practice, I have seen many patients like Spike who have busy schedules, and who are concerned with their condition. For many people, symptoms can recur despite adjustments made to one’s diet, lifestyle and treatment,” said David A. Peura, M.D., Professor of Medicine, University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, Charlottesville, VA. “A helpful treatment option is the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) DEXILANT, which can provide up to 24 hours of heartburn relief for acid reflux disease. DEXILANT has a Dual Delayed Release formulation, which means that it provides two separate releases of medication in one pill.”

Contest: How Do You Turn Down the Flame on Heartburn Associated with ARD?

“Those who know me from reality television shows, have eaten in my restaurants or are familiar with my cookbook, know I love food – and also know how things can get heated in the kitchen,” said Chef Spike. “Visit DontLetitBurn.com to learn more about my story and to find out how to enter the “Don’t Let it Burn” Contest for the chance to win an opportunity to cook dinner with me. When you are on the site, you can also share your recipes for not triggering the burn.”

To enter the “Don’t Let it Burn” Contest*, visit DontLetitBurn.com to submit a favorite recipe that shouldn’t impact your heartburn related to ARD. All contest rules and details are available on DontLetitBurn.com.

Help Put Out the Fire of Acid Reflux Disease

Heartburn occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, which can happen when the valve between the stomach and esophagus is not working properly. Affecting both men and women, persistent heartburn two or more days a week, despite treatment and diet changes could be a sign of ARD. The esophagus may become irritated and possibly damaged with continued exposure to stomach acid, a condition known as erosive esophagitis. ARD affects people differently, so it is important to talk to a doctor about symptoms.

“For more than 15 years, Takeda has been committed to supporting patients with digestive diseases,” said Heather Dean, Senior Director Marketing, Takeda. “We truly believe Don’t Let it Burn will further encourage individuals to help take control of their acid reflux disease and to work with their health care professional, an important step in appropriately managing their symptoms.”

With personal tips from Chef Spike, the new website, DontLetitBurn.com, offers information and tips for everyday management of acid reflux disease symptoms. To help reduce heartburn associated with ARD, some common triggers to avoid include: consuming fatty foods, caffeine and alcohol; eating close to bedtime; smoking and wearing tight-fitting clothes around your waist. An ARD-combatting to-do list includes maintaining a healthy body weight, elevating the head of the bed, and eating small, frequent meals rather than large amounts of food at one time.

About DEXILANT (dexlansoprazole) 30 mg and 60 mg delayed release capsules

DEXILANT is a PPI, which decreases acid production by turning off many of the acid pumps in the stomach, thus helping to protect the esophagus from acid reflux so that esophageal inflammation can heal. DEXILANT combines an enantiomer of lansoprazole with a Dual Delayed Release (DDR) formulation designed to provide two separate releases of medication. DEXILANT is indicated for healing all grades of erosive esophagitis (EE) for up to 8 weeks, maintaining healing of EE and relief of heartburn for up to 6 months, and treating heartburn associated with symptomatic non-erosive GERD for 4 weeks.

Important Safety Information

DEXILANT may not be right for everyone. Do not take DEXILANT if you are allergic to DEXILANT or any of its ingredients. Serious allergic reactions have been reported. Tell your doctor if you get any of the following symptoms with DEXILANT: rash, face swelling, throat tightness, or difficulty breathing. Symptom relief does not rule out other serious stomach conditions. People who are taking multiple daily doses of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medicines for a long period of time may have an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. Low magnesium levels can happen in some people who take a PPI medicine.

The most common side effects of DEXILANT were diarrhea (4.8%), stomach pain (4.0%), nausea (2.9%), common cold (1.9%), vomiting (1.6%), and gas (1.6%). DEXILANT and certain other medicines can affect each other. Before taking DEXILANT, tell your doctor if you are taking ampicillin, atazanavir, digoxin, iron, ketoconazole, or tacrolimus. If you are taking DEXILANT with warfarin, you may need to be monitored because serious risks could occur.

Talk to your doctor or health care professional. Please see accompanying Prescribing Information for DEXILANT.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit http://www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

M.C. Spookytooth, who doubles as an Arkansas attorney, gets 38,000 Mercy co-workers hoopin’ to healthify for national employee health and fitness day.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

If 40-year-old Shaquille O’Neal, weighing in at 325 pounds and topping out at 7-foot-1-inch, can join in the nation’s hula hoop craze, so too can 38,000 Mercy co-workers across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma for National Employee Health and Fitness Day, May 16.

“As a culture, it has completely dropped out of our brains that exercise can be fun. We have forgotten how important it is to have recess as adults,” said Dr. Lance Luria, Mercy’s health and wellness vice president and medical director. “We make sure to break out our long to-do lists every day but we forget to exercise and eat healthy. Without balance in our lives, everything gets out of whack and we become very unhealthy – physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

In an effort to bring back balance and have fun, Mercy co-workers will pick up hula hoops and get moving as they are “Hoopin’ to Healthify.” Nurses, doctors, surgeons, administrators and staff across Mercy’s four states will take part in hula-hoop obstacle courses, javelin throws, giant ring tosses and traditional hula hooping contests at the Olympic-like festivities. (Last year, co-workers did 1.3 million jumping jacks across Mercy for national fitness day.)

“The message is simple: get to hoopin’ or moving. Find something you like and make it a part of your routine whether it’s rock climbing, swimming, biking, bowling or running,” said Dr. Luria. “You only have one life to live, so live it to the fullest. Make every day count.”

Healthification, Mercy’s wellness program, is designed to encourage well-balanced, healthy lifestyles through nutrition, physical activity, emotional and spiritual wellness, and smoking cessation.

“As health care providers, we have a responsibility to model healthy lifestyle choices for a nation that is sedentary,” said Dr. Luria. “We must measure up to the same expectations we teach our patients and our communities.”

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, over the next six years the nation’s rate of obesity will continue to grow at an alarming rate.

“We’re tipping the scales,” said Lynn Britton, president and CEO of Mercy. “Many of the states Mercy serves lead the nation in obesity. Sadly, our country’s youth are following in those footsteps. Through healthification and awareness, Mercy’s goal is to reverse the trend.”

To get everyone hoopin’, Rapper M.C. Spookytooth created a toe-tapping music video with Mercy co-workers hoopin’ to the beat. [Insert link here]

According to the American Council on Exercise, although hula hooping is a low-impact workout, it’s possible to burn 200 calories in a 30-minute session. More reasons to pick up a hula hoop include:

    It improves flexibility and balance, which reduces chances of injury in daily activities.
    It’s a lot more fun than sit-ups or side-bends and still tones the midsection.
    Regardless of a person’s level of fitness, it’s a challenging technique with real benefits.

“I haven’t hula hooped since grade school, but I encourage co-workers to join me, pick up a hoop and get moving,” said Britton. “Drop your inhibitions at the door. No hula experience is required – just a willingness to have fun.”

Mercy is the eighth largest Catholic health care system in the U.S. and serves more than 3 million people annually. Mercy includes 31 hospitals, more than 200 outpatient facilities, 38,000 co-workers and 1,600 integrated physicians in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has outreach ministries in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. For more about Mercy, visit http://www.mercy.net.

Parkland Guitar Instructor Dyce Kimura

Parkland, FL (PRWEB) May 13, 2012

According to multiple university reports, there are many benefits of studying music—even for the beginning college-age student. For one, the country’s top Fortune 500 CEOs agree that arts education programs can help repair weaknesses in American education—and more importantly—better prepare younger workers for the 21st century, according to a recent Business Week article.

Studying guitar (and music in general) allows students to better grasp patterns, make connections, and understand mathematics at higher levels. According to one recent study, “The very best engineers and technical designers in the Silicon Valley industry are, nearly without exception, practicing musicians.” This anecdote was recorded in a well-regarded book making the case for including music education as a core subject in all American public high schools.

Also, the impact of studying guitar goes well beyond college and the first job. Practicing music makes adults healthier. “There were significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and in improved health,” according to Dr. Frederick Tims.

As former President Bill Clinton stated, “Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and, by studying music in school, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective.”

Dyce’s Parkland guitar lessons for college students on summer break can be purchased as a gift by parents or friends. Absolute beginners are welcome, too: Dyce’s easy-to-understand teaching style focuses on getting students to play great-sounding grooves right from lesson #1. Dyce’s Parkland guitar instruction is provided at his state-of the-art studio in Fort Lauderdale, convenient to Miami, Weston, Parkland and Fort Lauderdale, or online via Skype.

Dyce Kimura is a top-flight musician, and Parkland’s guitar teacher without equal. Dyce is hip to all of the latest music & technology trends, breaking artists, and contemporary gear. (Before Dyce began teaching full-time, he was an in-demand session player in Miami’s competitive studio scene, recording with scores of hip-hop, rock, blues and Christian artists—and is a nationally-recognized blues guitar authority.)

For more information on giving the gift of Fort Lauderdale guitar lessons for your college student, contact Dyce at (786) 457-3687 today.

Southampton, UK (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

WhyAmIUnhealthy.com believes people across the globe can live healthier and better lives without relying heavily on expensive prescription medication. The reliable online resource on healthy living, nutrition, and alternative therapies, recently ran a revealing article on prescription drugs and has also presented new, practical alternatives on several more articles that deal with subjects like “reducing mucus.”

On “Why Am I Sick and Why Is Nobody Helping Me,” the feature divulges the risk of over medication by stating, “Most medications make patients feel as if their health issues are under control, when in reality, that’s not the case. But you see, that’s what medications do, they mask symptoms, not fix them.”

While the detailed article grants that “certain medications are required to correct specific issues,” it nonetheless points out that “drugs rarely fix” most chronic health conditions and even cites a New York Times article that reveals how 40 percent of the elderly population in the United States suffer twice as many adverse reactions from a heady cocktail of drugs as younger people did.

WhyAmIUnhealthy.com goes on to share what it refers to as a common mistake most health practitioners do – overprescribing antibiotics. “It seems as though antibiotics are given for almost anything these days. What most medical professionals forget to tell their patients is how these horrible drugs severely imbalance the gut’s immunity. Good bacteria are killed-off when these drugs are taken, and this can really downgrade one’s health.”

The health and wellness resource site suggests newer and better ways to upgrading one’s immune system and acquiring overall good health by adopting preventative health care to individual lifestyles. For instance, to reduce mucus build-up in the lungs, one of the site’s latest articles introduces the benefits of probiotics derived from soy products, fermented milk, and other specific beverages.

The informative feature states, “According to an article in the Journal of Dairy Science, probiotics in conjunction with other therapy can help to reduce mucus levels in the intestines. The same principle of healthy bacteria promoting optimum health can be extended to help reduce the mucus build-up in the lungs. This can be achieved by consuming various probiotic fortified foods regularly.”

Increased mucus production has been linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis and emphysema.

Aside from probiotics, WhyAmIUnhealthy.com also reveals the advantages of anti-inflammatory oils from flaxseed, cold-water fish, and walnuts, and drinking water to decrease mucus build-up. Incidentally, the site goes on to disclose how staying hydrated also acts as an effective leaky gut cure. Leaky gut syndrome has been linked to a variety of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue syndrome, and dermatitis.

While the site does discourage a heavy reliance on prescribed medication, it still acknowledges the necessity of certain drugs in alleviating certain conditions. The feature on decreasing mucus build-up espouses the benefits of certain drug therapies: “Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce declines in lung function that results in mucus build-up; Bronchodilators that help to widen breathing tubes; Decongestants that help in reducing membrane swelling; Mucolytics to thin out the mucus; antibiotics to cure lung infections and stop the production of mucus.”

WhyAmIUnhealthy.com also provides invaluable insights and tips to reducing clinical depression, improving the quality of air at home, and an ultimate guide to how to get better sleep.

In some cases, searching the medicine cabinet for pain relievers and prescription antibiotics does help certain conditions. WhyAmIUnhealthy.com believes in exercising caution when it comes to prescribed medication. By adopting the health and wellness resource site’s collection of practical tips on proper nutrition, exercise, and natural alternative therapies, visitors across the globe would never have to ask, “Why am I unhealthy?”
