Botox
has been used for everything from anti-aging, wrinkle busting to
treating migraine headaches. But hair loss? A recent study shows Botox,
injected along with a customized vitamin cocktail 2-3 times per year
may make baldness a thing of the past.
With
my patients these BOTOX® and vitamin injectionsfor baldness have been
very safe and more effective than anything I have seen before
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2009 -- Preliminary findings have shown that BOTOX® injections into the scalp may effectively delay hair loss and even prevent baldness. Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione,
an internationally recognized Aesthetic Dermatology destination in
Beverly Hills, has tested and refined the treatment over a period of
three years with volunteer patients. Dr. Ourian is now confident in the
effectiveness of the treatment and offering it to his patients.

It is important to realize that baldness is not a medical disorder; it
is a condition by which hair follicles under the scalp shrink to the
point where they no longer generate replacement follicles. Since each
follicle typically regenerates every 2-6 years, baldness is a slow but
continual physiological process that results in patches of baldness on
the scalp connecting with other patches to form a hairline.
Dr. Ourian notes that participating in an effective hair loss treatment is a personal decision involving many factors including cost, possible benefits and convenience. The prospective patient looking for ways to treat hair loss has more choices now than at anytime in history. Medicine currently offers two distinct forms of hair loss treatments. There is the prescription medication route, which usually involves Minoxidil (Rogaine) or Finasteride (Propecia) and can be a very cost-effective hair loss remedy. Rogaine, a solution applied directly to the scalp, slows down hair loss and in some cases can actually grow new hair. Propecia, on the other hand, does not in most cases grow new hair, but has proved even more effective, especially if detected early, in slowing down and stopping the rate of hair loss. Surgical baldness treatments such as Hair Transplantation, are also a viable option, but are more expensive than Botox injections or prescription medications.
Dr. Ourian discovered the apparent hair loss prevention properties of BOTOX® while treating his own mother for debilitating headaches, a side effect of chemotherapy treatments she was receiving at the time. Citing studies conducted by Allergan, the manufacturer of BOTOX®, indicating that BOTOX® could be used effectively to relieve migraines and having experienced first-hand the appreciation of patients relieved from the agony of years of suffering from migraine headaches by virtue of BOTOX® scalp injections, Dr. Ourian hoped to provide that same relief to his mother, After Dr. Ourian injected his mother's scalp with BOTOX® not only did her headaches diminish but her hair follicles, damaged by the chemotherapy, began to re-grow in the areas surrounding the injections.
''Of course, I was happily surprised by the result,'' said Dr. Ourian, ''so I decided to share this discovery with several of my regular patients. Because hair loss is a significant source of insecurity for many people, both men and women, there was no shortage of volunteers with thinning hair. The results for many were astonishing, and for some, a single session yielded dramatic results.''
"With my patients these BOTOX® and vitamin injectionsfor baldness have been very safe and more effective than anything I have seen before," says Dr. Ourian.
Typical side effects of the scalp treatments were those normally associated with BOTOX® injections (temporary swelling, pain, bruising, etc). In an effort to increase the efficacy of the treatments, Dr. Ourian added a cocktail of vitamins generally known to stimulate hair growth to the BOTOX® injections. These injections appeared to improve the tissue environment surrounding the hair follicles by reducing scalp tension and improving blood flow.

Baby Naming Expert Says It's OK To Consider the Name Mary Christmas -- Though With A Few Caveats
As long as the name you choose for your baby feels like a celebration for his or her arrival, it's fine to go ahead and tap your favorite holiday, according to an article posted today online at BabyZone.com, a website that serves the needs of expectant and new moms.
"Holidays like Christmas offer copious options to new parents who haven't yet decided what to name their baby," says Suelain Moy, baby name expert and author of the book, Names to Grow On, in the Q&A, "Is It Cheesy to Name Your Baby After a Holiday?" (Link: http://www.babyzone.com/askanexpert/holidays-baby-name).
Holidays like Christmas offer copious options to new parents who haven't yet decided what to name their baby
Is It Cheesy to Name Your Baby After a Holiday?
I've had to show people my license a couple of times
People think it's fun
According to the feature posted on BabyZone,
Natalie, Natalia, and Natasha all mean "born on Christmas Day." Noel,
Noelle, and Navidad simply mean "Christmas." Many December babies have
been named Nicholas (after St. Nick), Claus (after Santa), or Kris
(after Mr. Kringle). Other festive names include Joy, Holly, and Yule.
It's positive. It's a conversation piece.
However, be aware when making first and last name combinations.
Consider the case of the 90 or so women in the U.S. whose legal name is Mary Christmas. While Utah-based, stay-at-home mom, Mary Christmas (nee Young) admits that her name is a big hit during the holidays, she does encounter her share of doubting Thomases.
"I've had to show people my license a couple of times," she said to BabyZone. And when her name shows up on the caller ID or on a package, some folks think it's a prank.
Still, it's hard to find fault with a name that brings people so much joy and happiness. "People think it's fun," Mrs. Christmas said (good-naturedly) to BabyZone. "It's positive. It's a conversation piece." And, as her husband likes to point out, he gets to celebrate with Mary Christmas, not just on December 25, but all year long.

The Walkstation.
A healthy step in the right direction.
The Walkstation is the combination of a fully integrated electric height-adjustable worksurface with an exclusively
engineered, low speed commercial grade treadmill. At a maximum speed of 2 mph, the Walkstation lets you walk
comfortably, burn calories, feel healthier and more energized… all while accomplishing the work you’d normally do
while seated. No sweat!
The Walkstation has as much to do with a traditional cardiovascular treadmill workout as a walk in the woods does
with a marathon. Fact is, you’d never be able to do all your normal desk-based activities on a healthclub-style treadmill.
It just wouldn’t compute!
The Walkstation. Designed to bring
healthy habits to sedentary workers
while they are actually working.
The most data-rich investigation of obesity ever undertaken.
The Walkstation is based on the proprietary NEAT™ (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) research of Dr. James
Levine of the renowned Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. NEAT refers to the calories we burn in our every day lives, or
simple movement. The study, with 150 million lines of downloaded data carried out over a 10 year period, focused on
how calories are expended through all the activities of daily living.
He analyzed the feasibility of walking while working and the relationship of that activity to the potential of burning calories
and losing weight.
The effort culminated in the Walkstation: the first product in the entirely new FitWork™ category of products from Details.
The Walkstation: designed to change the face of the corporate workplace and the health of its workforce.
• It is metabolically more effective to put more NEAT (simple
movement) into your life to achieve a healthy body weight than
to seek organized exercise.1
• It is feasible to increase NEAT in the workplace. Subjects were
able to perform their job functions while walking on a treadmill
at one mile per hour.2
• Walkstations were not disruptive in the office setting.3
• Subjects reported that they enjoyed using the Walkstation;
that it could be used in the actual work arena and that, if
available, they would use it.4
• Since many people spend most of the working day sitting in
front of a computer screen, if seated computer-time was
replaced by walking while working, energy expenditure could
increase by 100 calories per hour. Thus, if obese individuals
were to replace time spent sitting at the computer with 2-3
hours per day of walking computer time, and if other
components of energy balance were constant, actual weight
loss may result.5
The groundbreaking relationship
between Details and me enables us
to create and make available the
Walkstation, thereby bringing my
research from the lab to the people
in the form of a product.
In today’s corporate world, mobility is no longer strictly upward.
1 Commercial grade treadmill with maximum speed of 2 mph
in .1 mph increments and no incline adjustability
2 Patented Soft System® surface with Neoprene shock absorbers
in front third of the deck
3 Digital display and touch pad controller
4 Urethane high profile soft edge – hand hold and built in wrist rest
5 Magnetic safety clip
6 Quiet, high torque motor
7 Precision balanced with 180 lbs. dynamic load-bearing capacity
per lifting column
8 Treadmill receiver plate
9 Optional SlatRail or Slatwall to accommodate adjustable monitor
arm and worktools
) Optional Privacy Screen, Modesty Screen and Cableway
A healthy
set of features.
All adjustments for the table height, user weight, and the treadmill speed are easily input on a stowable, touch pad digital
controller. And the same controller records and displays time, distance, speed and calories burned.
A magnetic safety clip attaches to
the user and automatically shuts off
the treadmill if the magnetic connection
is lost.
Front (user’s) edge has the Urethane
high profile end to end. (Back and side
edges are flat.) Provides grip for balance;
also serves as built-in wrist rest.
Optional Privacy and Modesty Screens
help address visual distraction and
improve productivity. An optional Cableway
takes the technology of cables,
cords, and wires and houses them into
an out-of-sight yet accessible “pocket.”
The treadmill sits firmly in slots along
the base of the table. This patented feature
insures stability, keeps treadmill and
table aligned and secures treadmill front
to back.
Patented Soft System® surface with
Neoprene shock absorbers in front third
of the deck.
2.0 mph max., quiet high torque
motor will withstand rigors of slow
speeds for long periods of time.
Speed adjusts in .1 mph increments.
The
Sit-to-Walkstation.
A variation of the Walkstation is the Sit-to-Walkstation, ideal for a personal workspace. Throughout the day, an individual
can move from sitting, to standing, to walking at the push of a button. The only lost time is the time it takes to change
from a pair of dress shoes to a casual pair of walking shoes.
