AcupunctureNext.com Launches as New Player in the Health Services Marketplace and Offers Free Practice Listings for Acupuncturists

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 30, 2011

AcupunctureNext.com has launched as a new player in the health services marketing field. It allows acupuncturists and alternative medicine practitioners to increase their internet presence, attract new clients, and increase sales revenue. AcupunctureNext offers completely free web profiles because its revenue is generated by online advertising.

The President’s Council of Economic Advisers says that health care dominates the list of industries that are projected to add the most jobs during 2011-2016. The percentage of seniors 65 and older is projected to increase 141%. Seniors will represent 21% of the population, resulting in a surging demand for therapeutic services. The popularity of acupuncture and alternative medicine such as traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy, shiatsu, naturopathy, aromatherapy, and acupressure is projected to increase among baby boomers and seniors as they cope with age-related health conditions such as back pain and arthritis.

http://AcupunctureNext.com and its sister sites http://TherapyNext.com, http://ChiropractorNext.com, and http://MassageNext.com address this trend by offering free practice listings and marketing for acupuncturists, alternative medicine practitioners and other types of wellness professionals such as naturopathic doctors, Chinese herbal medicine practitioners, therapists, marriage counselors, psychologists, massage therapists, and chiropractors. AcupunctureNext enables acupuncturists and alternative medicine practitioners to increase their marketing effectiveness with a searchable and customizable web page that builds their internet presence. Many independent health services professionals market themselves by launching their own web sites, however the low probability of such small sites being found in search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing limits their effectiveness. Although AcupunctureNext.com is aimed primarily at health professionals with individual practices, it also allows for listings of large-scale health care centers. AcupunctureNext has been influenced by the huge growth in social networking sites and businesses, such as Yelp, that integrate social networking to augment their revenue generation. Although health services directories crowd the internet, few sites offer social networking features. The founders of AcupunctureNext believe their suite of health services marketing sites will enable consumers enjoy a smooth experience of browsing for different types of health services professionals.

AcupunctureNext.com is positioned to be the next wave in health services marketing and referral services for acupuncturists and alternative medicine practitioners. For more information visit http://AcupunctureNext.com

Swanson Health Products Introduces a New Homeopathic Line of Products

Fargo, ND (PRWEB) June 30, 2008

Swanson Health Products has teamed up with Dr. Barbara Hendel, the physician behind the http://www.swansonvitamins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SHPHtmlPageView2?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&tab=5&htmlInclude=../lnd/HimalayanSalt&SourceCode=INTN006 [Water & Salt movement __title__ Water & Salt movement]to create a Swanson Homeopathy line of products. Dr. Hendel has been treating patients primarily with holistic means for 20 years. Using her expertise, Swanson Health Products developed their first ever unique condition-specific homeopathic remedies.

During the late 18th Century, German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed a method of healing called homeopathy. Homeopathy is derived from the Greek words: homeo (similar) and pathos (suffering), meaning an ill person can be treated using a substance that can produce symptoms similar to those of the illness in a healthy person. This concept is Homeopathy’s Law of Similars–”like cures like.” On the other hand, modern medicine attempts to suppress the symptoms of the illness with chemical agents. Dr. Hahnemann discovered the relationship because he drank a tea made with Cinchona bark after which he developed symptoms of malaria. Cinchona, at the time, was an ingredient in anti-malaria treatments.

Swanson Health Products has formulated a line of condition-specific homeopathic products including: Obesity & Appetite Control; Arthritis Pain Relief; and Fibromyalgia Relief, among others that contain tried-and-true homeopathic ingredients.

The Obesity & Appetite Control formula provides temporary relief of emotional eating, increased appetite and the feeling of hunger after a meal, using ingredients such as Capsicum annuum, Ignatia amara and more. The Arthritis Pain Relief formula is used for the temporary relief of aching muscles, rheumatoid bone and joint pain, swollen and/or tingling joints with Arnica montana, Bryonia alba, Silicea and more. The Fibromyalgia Relief formula is used for the temporary relief of fatigue, muscle pain, hypersensitivity and sleeplessness and contains ingredients such as Arnica montana, Berberis vulgaris and Bryonia alba.

Swanson Health Products is an industry leader in bringing vitamins direct to consumers at the lowest price possible. Swanson Health Products goes a step beyond its competitors by offering powerful guarantees. All products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction, Money-Back Guarantee and Double the Difference Lowest Price Guarantee.

Individual health insurance is not an easy thing to understand greatly because of the tremendous amount of health plan options that are out there.  The comparison between different companies and different types of individual health insurance plans is a challenge.  Most individuals just simply want basic private insurance.  The problem is that not everyone understands what that means.

Deductible
Individuals think that the only thing that matters in individual health insurance is the deductible.  Sure, deductibles are very important, but looking further into the plans is necessary.  For example, is a 00 deductible plan at 20% coinsurance better than a 00 deductible plan at 0% coinsurance?  Ask that question to the normal individual and they will say yes.  The correct answer is sometimes.  The reason is, the 3500 plan in most situations has a higher out of pocket maximum, where the 5000 plan has the lower out of pocket maximum.  Sure some individuals  have the time to go read about it and figure it out for themselves, but the average person will just simply go with the lowest deductible.

Price
The price for individual health insurance is not the most important thing.  Understanding the plan is.  If an individual health plan is a lot cheaper then all of the other compared plans there is always something wrong with it.  For example, Aetna insurance has what is called a value plan.  They are great, but you can only go see your doctor 5 times a year.  That may be fine for a lot of individuals , but what about a 50 year old.  Brokers are so important for these situations.  Aetna and most companies have this option, to spend less but also get less.  It is great, but people should know the difference.

]]>

Providers
Most individuals have a family doctor or someone in mind that they would like to see on a regular basis when purchasing individual health insurance.   The thing is most people think that their doctor will be in network no matter what, because they are purchasing a PPO plan where they can go wherever they would like to go.  The word “in- network” is very important, because it is the difference in being able to pay around for a doctor’s visit or having to meet your deductible to see your regular doctor.  All the big insurance companies, Golden Rule, Aetna, Coventry, Humana, and Cigna all have a physician look up tool on their web pages.  So why not use them to your advantage.  I make sure that every one of my clients can use that free resource before they purchase an individual health insurance plan.  Imagine if a person is on vacation and they need to find a doctor fast, most people will panic. My clients will know that they can go to a computer and find an address and a number quicker than calling the back of their card.

Students
Another place where individuals are getting taken advantage of are in the school plans.  Sure something is better than not having anything at all.  However, college kids aren’t reading into these policies and how much coverage they really have.  Some of these health plans only allow a person to use ,000 at the hospital.  That’s just not enough.  Especially when you can purchase a health plan with unlimited coverage for the same price by getting individual health insurance though Easy To Insure ME.  It is very hard for people to understand why they should seek advice from a professional. This is the exact reason why they should.

Easy To Insure ME
Individual health insurance plans are similar in many ways, finding the right one is the challenge.  So when trying to find the best plan for you at the best price, seeking a professional is key. Finding a good broker is as easy as clicking the link to EasyToInsureME.com.  All you will have to do is put in your basic information in the top right hand corner of the home page, and a professional will contact you within 24 hours.

Among the various achievements of ancient India, Ayurveda is one of the most important and long-lasting. Literally, Ayu means life and Veda means knowledge. So it can be defined as a science of life. Unlike other medicinal systems, it does not merely deal with diseases of human body and teaches a complete way of life. Ayurvedic treatment focuses more on curing the root of the disease than just removing the symptoms. Now as people are looking for alternative therapies which are more holistic, Ayurvedic treatments have become more popular in India as well as all across the globe.

Ayurveda has been considered as curative as well as nutritive. There are two chief objectives of Ayurvedic treatments: one, to ensure long life and perfect health and 2nd, to remove the diseases of the body restoring it to perfect natural balance. In order to find a perfect Ayurveda treatment for you, it is imperative to have basic knowledge about how Ayurveda treats the body. Prana is considered the basic life energy present in the body as well as in the elements constituting the universe. There are five elements containing prana, i.e., earth, fire, water, air and ether. Mutual interaction between the elements is aggregated in the body as three doshas governing all body functions. The three doshas are known as Pitta, vatta and kapha. Disease ensues from the imbalance in one or more of one’s doshas.

Ayurvedic treatment starts by diagnosing the imbalance in the doshas and then bringing balance to them. Recent spurt in the popularity of Ayurveda is a testimony to the effectiveness of its treatments. There are numerous Ayurvedic treatments which are effective to rejuvenate your body and spirit. Every year thousands of tourists come to India to undergo such rejuvenation therapies.

There are many Ayurvedic resorts where numerous Ayurveda treatments like Abhyangam and Pichu are administered under the guidance of experienced physicians and therapists. Abhyangam involves using oil on head and body followed by gentle massage of body by a trained therapist. It is performed as a single treatment along with major treatments. On the other hand, Pichu also involves application of oil but is considered superior to Abbhyanaga. The peculiarity of this Ayurvedic treatment is that it applied on the affected parts like head, and low back. In performing Pichu, a dry cotton cloth with a hole in the center is used to pour oil. Duration of the treatment depends on the ailment for which it is done.

Of all the thirteen vitamins necessary for the human body to sustain good health only one can be obtained through natural source that is Vitamin D. There are very few sources which allow us to attain Vitamin D. Selective food items in the market are considered to be a great Vitamin D source. But have you ever thought why we need Vitamin D or ever brainstormed about the different sources of Vitamin D? Here are some answers to simplify your problem:

Why is Vitamin D a cardinal need for the human body?

Vitamin D is a subject to unconformity, which means that some components of Vitamin D are active in nature whereas some are not therefore finding a Vitamin D source can be difficult. For instance, Calciferol is an active form of vitamin D. Our kidney and liver do the needful and convert Vitamin D to its hormone constituent. Consumption of Vitamin D through an ordinary diet leads to its production in the skin. It is essential for Vitamin D to be broken down into 1, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D as it is considered as the most active component of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is a necessity for the human body because like hormones it sends neural messages to the intestine directing them to increase the digestion of Phosphorus and Calcium. The other functions of Vitamin D is controlling and balancing phosphorus and calcium in the blood level, restoring bone strength, increasing bone mineralization and advancing calcium absorption. To enhance to strengthen the bone structure in the human body there is a need to keep Vitamin D intact. Deficiency of Vitamin D results in thin and fragile bones leading to critical condition such as Rickets in children and Osteomalacia in adults. Restriction of breast feeding with absence of Vitamin D supplements also leads to relapse of Rickets. Inactive bodies and reduction in sun exposure triggers rickets in infants.

Vitamin D functions at cellular levels too. It is responsible for management of cell development and maintaining a healthy immune system. If a body lacks in Vitamin D it can succumb to various forms of cancer as Vitamin D acts as a shield against cancer. Vitamin D has proved to be a crucial supplement in treating Alzheimer patients. As these patients are exposed to less outdoor activity their normal level of Vitamin D gets hampered.

Essential Vitamin D sources:

Sunlight:

When the human body comes in contact with the sun’s UV rays, the skin stimulates the production of Vitamin D. The skin has abundant concentration of Vitamin D and proves to be an apt Vitamin D source but it performs this function only when exposed to sunlight. Besides body exposure to UV rays is harmful for health.

Food items:

Animal food is a good Vitamin D source. Egg yolk, Liver, Butter, Cheese and fish contain ample amount of Vitamin D. Fish liver oils are enriched with Vitamin D therefore it is always recommended that a person consumes sea cod oil capsule every day. Breast milk also has plenty Vitamin D but it is water-soluble.

Myriad sources:

Other sources of Vitamin D are Halibut Liver oil, Cod liver oil, fish liver oil, Vanaspati, milk, margarine and infant food. As said earlier Vitamin D source is hard to find but make sure you at least incorporate sea cod oil capsule along with your daily diet.

Pennsylvania on Monday became the latest state to consider a bill to shield itself from a key portion of the new federal health care law that will require most Americans to buy health insurance or face potential fines starting in 2014.

The Republican-sponsored bill passed the House Health Committee on a party line vote, 14-9.

Democrats criticized the bill as a violation of the U.S. Constitution that will do nothing to help more people afford health insurance, but committee Chairman Matt Baker, R-Tioga, said the bill, if it becomes law, will give Pennsylvania more legal avenues to challenge the federal law in court.

“It gets singularly to the mandate issue of forcing people to buy insurance that they may not want, they may not need and they don’t even have a choice,” Baker told reporters after the vote.

The legal impact of any state measure is questionable, since courts generally have held that federal laws trump those in states. And while Baker said the state arguably could enforce such a law, he also acknowledged that the matter is likely to be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court before the insurance requirement in the federal law takes effect in three years.

The federal law was passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress and was signed by President Barack Obama last March. Spokesmen for Republican majority leaders in the state House and Senate said Monday they could not predict whether or when the bill will reach a floor vote, although Baker said House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, had encouraged him to move it out of his committee. A separate bill in the Senate also would seek to block the requirement through a constitutional amendment, although it remains in committee.

Pennsylvania already is party to a states’ lawsuit that challenges the federal insurance requirement.

The law’s core requirement is that Americans carry health insurance except in cases of financial hardship. Starting in 2014, those who cannot show they are covered by an employer, government program or their own policy would face fines by the Internal Revenue Service.

Defenders of the law say a system of health insurance doesn’t work if people are allowed to avoid paying for it until they need medical attention because premiums collected from the healthy pay the cost of care for the sick.

A number of states are taking up challenges. The one advanced by Baker is based on a model version written by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group that promotes limited government.

Six states _ Virginia, Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Missouri and Louisiana _ already have enacted laws similar to the one Baker advocates, according to the council’s tally, while Oklahoma and Arizona each have enacted constitutional amendments.

The Health Committee did not hold a hearing on the bill, which Baker entitled the “Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act,” and Republicans rejected a Democratic effort to table the bill in favor of holding hearings on it.

Democrats attacked Republicans for not using the first Health Committee meeting of 2011 to look for ways to extend adultBasic, the state’s low-cost health insurance for working adults, which is running out of money for its 42,000 enrollees at the end of February.

“Could you please tell me how you explain to your constituents that, right out of the box, the first thing that we push is House Bill 42 and not worry about insuring those Pennsylvanians who will be losing their health care as of March 1?” Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, D-Philadelphia, asked Baker during the hearing.

Baker said he was sympathetic to Brown’s concerns.

“However, this is about a mandate, it’s not about the debate concerning adultBasic or any other venue of health insurance,” Baker responded.

Before being elected Pennsylvania governor in November, then-Attorney Tom Corbett, a Republican, hauled the state into the fray against the federal insurance requirement by joining a states’ lawsuit in a Florida federal court. The judge last week agreed with the challenge, and the U.S. Department of Justice said it would appeal.
