Finally a ?Real? Ephedrine Replacement!
NEPTUNE, NJ September 29, 2004 — The current ban of ephedrine has sent manufacturers of dietary supplements scrambling to find alternatives to the popular weight loss compound. Early so-called ephedrine “alternatives” were embraced by retailers but rejected by consumers because the supplements didn’t provide the see and feel benefits ephedrine users had become accustomed to.
However, a new scientifically advanced formula just might be the ephedrine replacement everyone has been waiting for. The stimulant type diet pill, called WARP 9 (from DynaPure Nutrition(TM), of Neptune NJ), has been developed with see and feel benefits of ephedrine but safely keeps the body?s natural metabolic processes in charge.
According to company literature (www.dynapurenutrition.com), the new patent pending weight loss sensation is actually a combination of amino acids, nutrients and herbs that mimic ephedrine and help step up metabolism, boost energy and provide enhanced brain activity.
But is the new supplement safe? Dan Maiullo, CEO of DynaPure says “Studies on the weight-loss and stimulant ingredients of WARP 9 show the compounds to be well tolerated, but anyone who chooses to use any stimulant-based diet pills should consult with their physician, be in overall good health, and use the pills as directed. We developed WARP 9 with safety in mind and all the ingredients in the product have been used safely for as long as I can remember. No risky unknown ingredients are used.?
GFY Nutrition, exclusive distributor of WARP 9, is careful to point out that this has been the closest product resembling ephedrine that they have seen to date and the ingredients have solid substantiation to support its weight-loss claims. GFY President John Raimondo said “Our retailers tell us it’s the ephedrine like energy and effects on appetite that’s been bringing people back to their stores for more WARP 9.”
So how does WARP 9 work? Pete Maletto, the company Chief Science Officer and noted nutrition expert explained, “WARP 9 mimics ephedrine through the four key biochemical mechanisms in the body. Firstly, WARP 9 boosts metabolism by increasing adrenalin, which then raises noradrenalin, the brain?s version of adrenalin. This adrenalin/noradrenalin increase stimulates brown fat, which is the only metabolically active fat in the body. This brown fat causes the body to burn excessive white fat like the fat around our midsections. Secondly, WARP 9 decreases appetite by enhancing specific chemical messengers in the brain and thirdly increasing another hormone called Cholecystokinin (CCK) triggering the ?I?m full? signal. The fourth and final key is the added lipotropic fatty acid metabolizing effects and the co-factors of many other micronutrients WARP 9. The basic idea behind the WARP 9 formulation is the scientific understanding that when you raise your metabolism you raise your appetite and we addresses this problem. Other products in the market place give you the metabolic boost but they all forgot to address the appetite issue in their formulation. By studying the brain chemical monoamine effects of ephedrine you would understand how to formulate a real replacement that would reduce appetite as effectively as ephedrine. The result is identical weight loss and energy benefit that the consumer can see and feel.?
What about those who are sensitive to stimulants? “We actually address this issue in the formulation by using certain amino acids that calm and take the edge off,” Maletto said.? As an added benefit WARP 9 also reduces the end of day crashes that ephedrine once produced. We studied ephedrine, and made it better and safer to really produce a optimal healthy replacement.?
The makers of WARP 9 are preparing an aggressive US marketing campaign and Phil Loprete of GFY says. “I noticed when I ran on the treadmill my appetite increased, so I started taking WARP 9 and my appetite just seemed to disappear immediately. We really expect sales of WARP 9 to continue to climb and to help millions of people safely lose weight.”
Fighting the flab in Staffordshire UK.
July 9, 2004 –Viewers in Stafordshire of the recently screened “Celebrity Fit Club” now have their chance of following a similar weight loss programme with “Hypnutrition”.
Developed by Burntwood Hypnotherapy this programme incorporates Hypnotherapy, a controled nutrition plan and ongoing lifecoaching to ensure success for anyone who is serious about losing weight.
Mr Robert Hodgkiss from Burntwood Hypnotherapy, said, “Hypnutrition is not a “Fad” or “Trendy” diet plan that you find in some magazine but a programme put together using proven methods that help people to lose and then sustain their weight loss. Hypnotherapy alone has long been established as one of the more successfull aids to losing weight and now combined with a special nutrition plan and ongoing support there is no reason why anyone should not acheive their ideal weight.”
Deborah Orr, a State registered Nurse and Nutrition Consultant for Burntwood Hypnotherapy, said, “I was an area manager for one of the country’s leading slimming Companys for 16 years and I am convinced that the Hypnutrition programme is the way forward for genuine and sustained weight loss.”

Bristol Neo Natal Nurse Gears Up For Challenge
August 2, 2004 — Bristol neo-natal nurse, Chris Ludlam, 47, teamed up this week with Andrea Guest, mother of premature twins, to urge people to start training for a cause that?s close to their hearts. The UK?s leading medical research charity, Action Medical Research, is holding its 23rd annual ?Action 100? bike ride from Bath and Bristol to London on Sunday 29 August, 2004. This is the fourth year that Chris and his wife (Louise Hibbins, 46) will pedal the 100 miles from Bristol to London for the charity.
Action Medical Research is currently looking for answers to a wide range of medical problems that affect all age groups. The charity has funded projects at Bristol-based St. Michael?s Hospital, where Chris works, investigating the causes of premature birth. A high proportion of twins are born well before 37 weeks, more if the twins are identical, as Andrea Guest knows all too well.
?The cost of premature babies is far more than money? said Andrea, whose twins were born 14 weeks early. ?They come with a whole range of concerns, complications, emotions and heartaches. We have such high expectations of doctors. Yet around 50,000 babies are born prematurely each year, about 135 a day. Modern technology means they?ve a much better chance of survival than ever before, but the number of premature births each year has not significantly decreased since the 1960’s. Around 70,000 of all babies born in the UK every year need some special care at birth, and around 2,300 of all babies born die within their first month(1).?
Andrea?s own twins weighed 1 pound 13 (Ruby) and 1 pound 14 (Harvey) at birth after Andrea went into premature labour, caused by a blood clot affecting Harvey. Injections were given before birth to build up the babies? lungs and attempts were made to stop the labour. But after 14 hours, the babies had to be delivered by caesarean section. Andrea was discharged from hospital 10 days later, and although she was able to help with practical things like feeding and changing, her babies? lives were in the hands of the medical team.
Premature babies often develop complications including respiratory problems and bleeding on the brain. There are sometimes problems that cause complications right through to adulthood, including lasting disabilities such as cerebral palsy. It was a distressing time for Andrea, her husband and their family.
The Guest?s tiny twins were on ventilators for nearly eight weeks. During this time, Harvey had to have lumber puncture following a meningitis scare, and both twins contracted a series of infections. Each had three brain scans to check for brain bleeding. When the babies emerged from hospital, 11 weeks and 2 days later, they were fit and healthy, apart from a little difficulty sucking, thanks to the marvellous care they received.
?Andrea?s family are well aware that they are the lucky ones. Not all premature babies can be saved, and many have long term problems. The Action 100 ride is a positive opportunity to contribute to reducing the pain and anguish of premature birth, and is a fantastic personal challenge that people can do at their own pace,? said Chris.
The 100 mile ride is split into manageable chunks with the chance to meet lots of other cyclists on the way. The route passes through amazing countryside and couldn?t be for a better cause. For Chris and Andrea, it?s a cause close to home, but it?s hard to find anyone who hasn?t had contact with one of the many areas which Action Medical Research investigates.
The charity aims to top last year?s numbers, when 323 cyclists raised over ?40,000.
Anyone wishing to take part in the Action 100 Bike ride on Sunday August 29 should contact Roy Clarke on 0117 970 6348 or visit www.action100ride.org.uk.

August 22, 2004 — Hair loss! Stop hair loss: Buy FDA approved Generic Propecia for male pattern hair loss from our online store www.men-hairloss.com
Are you losing Hair?
Baldness in men with mild to moderate hair loss on the top of the head and the front of the mid-scalp area is pretty common. This type of hair loss results in receding hairline and/or balding at the crown. Hair loss affects about half of men by age 50.
Know the factors causing Hair Loss
DHT is one of many male hormones in the body. DHT is developmentally important early in a man?s life; however, it appears to be a cause of hair loss as men get older. DHT shrinks the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Researchers have found that men with male pattern hair loss have increased levels of DHT in the balding area of their scalps. Human hair normally follows a cycle of growth, falling out, and new growth. But increased levels of DHT are believed to contribute to the shortening of the growth phase and a shortening of the time it takes for the hair to fall out. This results in thinning of the hair on the scalp.
Break through medicine for Hair lossin Men: Generic Propecia.
Generic Propecia is the way out. Generic Propecia is a remedy for baldness in men with mild to moderate hair loss on the top of the head and the front of the mid-scalp area. It increases hair growth, improves hair re-growth, and slows down hair loss. It works only on scalp hair and does not affect hair on other parts of the body. Propecia is the first FDA approved drug clinically proven to block the action of DHT, stopping hair loss dead in its tracks while promoting new hair growth. In clinical tests, Propecia effectively stopped male pattern baldness in 83% of men. Propecia also proved to help 66% of men grow new hair.
