My son has an annoying habit of biting his fingernails, which likely caused an infection in his finger. I took him to the doctor, who prescribed an antibiotic. He urged me to spend the extra few bucks to have the medicine flavored with a product called FLAVORx. …

The first time saw this product was when it was featured on Good Morning America where the show had given a number of people this device in order to make their at-home pedicure experience easier. Now I am quite young and don’t really have calluses or any extreme dry …

When I was first learning to make smoothies, it was a given that someone was going to tell me to add protein powder. When I didn’t and kept using just fruit with almond milk or yogurt, it was a given that someone was going to give me some protein powder …

I have been a loyal user of Carefree products. I may have gotten it from my mom who is also an avid Carefree user ever since she was young. I really need to wear panty liners all the time every time except when I am at home or when …

I, like most people, am sensitive to poison ivy and poison oak. I’ve tried lots of products like lotions or medicines like Caladryl, and they all work good enough, but, the itching is madness, and I wanted to try something else. I’ve been a user of Burt’s …

In case if you don’t know what an elliptical trainer is, it is, basically, a piece of exercising equipment that you walk on. Ellipticals are different from treadmills: instead of walking on a treadbelt you use two large walking pedals.
Nordictrack CX 925 Elliptical is a very solid, sturdy machine. …

I absolutely love Avon’s Skin So Soft Bug Guard and Insect Repellent Spray, which also includes sunscreen of SPF 30! This is a definite must have! I bought this last summer and have been using it ever since. A good friend recommended it to me, she told me she …

When I had a health scare, I became pretty fanatic about exercising, and so I got myself a few machines, added a few routines like jogging and biking, and bought other odds and ends to try and turn my health around. One of the items I wanted was a …

I have used a saline spray many times in the past for dry nasal passages due to cold weather and air, or allergies and colds. I was under the impression that they were mostly all the same, but I have been introduced to a new product that is a bit …

This analgesic/anti inflammatory cream is indicated for variety of conditions characterized by pain and inflammation like contusion and osteoarthritis. I purchased a 1.0% topical cream when I first had my physical treatment at Pain and Rehab, Megamall Branch. The 15g tube is especially designed for ease of use. It …

Now this was an interesting looking bandage, and I was absolutely positive it would work for me. Or rather, for my son. He had, a few years ago, fallen through some ice at the creek near our house and tripped and ended up slicing his ankle to the bone …

Although my skin is normally very dry, I do notice that it becomes more oily during the summertime. I recently ran out of my usual and somewhat pricey daily moisturizer and I decided that I wanted to try something new. The main thing that I was looking …

This Wagi Nasal Aspirator Plus Bonus Ear Syringe is one of the best and most inexpensive types of products to use for infant care. When my kids were young and got a cold, it was a miserable exepreince for the entire household because they certainly can’t tell you what’s …

Precor EFX 5.21i is an elliptical trainer that would have been excellent, despite its high price (around $3,500), if it wasn’t for one serious drawbacks: this machine has no arm levers to exercise your upper body as well. It does have nice side handles to hold onto during your …

A friend gave me this Ascencia Entrust Diabetes Care system about a year ago when I started running my very own clinic and I really appreciated receiving it because now I can be able to spot check the blood sugar of patients who are potentially diabetics.
Using it is …

Usually the time I work out and try to get in shape is during the spring, before summer hits and it’s time to put on a swim suit. I do some weight training, Pilates, and walking mostly, nothing too heavy or intense. I had seen other …

Since I have turned forty, I have had a problem with thinning hair. I have several conditions that could potentially contribute to it—“ fibromyalgia, diabetes, under-active thyroid, and possible lupus, as well as aging which everyone faces. With it being difficult to know the cause of the hair problems, I …

I tried this mouth wash because I am on the lookout for a more natural, healthy mouthwash that doesn’t ‘taste natural’. Most of the more healthy options seem to taste bad, and just don’t seem worth it to me. But I do want to try to be …

I take a nightly hot bath to help relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia which I have had since I was a teen. The warm water and bath salts help to draw out lactic acid from the muscles and add minerals to the water, like magnesium, which is important for muscle …

As any Diabetic knows monitoring your blood sugar is an essential part of handling the disease. There are many glucose meters on the market and I have tried several. The one that I have found work best for me is the OneTouch Ultra Mini. This is a small compact …

I bought this product on sale for $5.99, it’s regularly $8.50. Either way, I find that to be a very reasonable price for a firming treatment. In fact, it’s probably the least expensive face treatment of its kind that I’ve tried from Avon. I honestly didn’t …

There is hardly any activity we do in life without making use of the brain, as it ranges from Voluntary to Involuntary actions, while the Cerebrum controls the Voluntary actions we carry out, like talking, singing or walking; the medulla Oblongata takes charge of involuntary actions we do, like …

I love to use my nightly hot bath therapy as a way to enjoy new products and scents. I take these baths to sopt the pain of fibromyalgia, and it works really well for me—“ it is a therapy I would recommend to anyone suffering with the condition. It has …

I take a lot of vitamins daily, though some I only take a couple of times a week. One of the supplements I take is Potassium, namely Spring Valley Natural Potassium. I bought this one a few weeks ago on a whim and plan to use it …

I’d like to be able to say that I’ve had clear and beautiful skin all my life, to such a point that I could be a neutrogena skin care spokesperson. Unfortunately, that would be a total fabrication of the truth. IN truth, it’s been quite the opposite. As a …

Sometimes I do foolish things. I am an intelligent person who can read labels, but occasionally I just don’t think. When I was telling a friend of my mother’s about my weight loss efforts and products I had tried which didn’t really work, we got onto the subject of …

I used to spend longer hours using the computer mainly for work. I spent almost 10 hours a day just sitting down and working on my computer. I didn’t really have time to exercise or just stretch out some muscles. Before I know it, I already have this slouch …

Last summer I had gum surgery that left my teeth very sensitive to cold and hot for several weeks. I was using my regular Crest Pro-Namel plus Whitening toothpaste, but using it really made my teeth hurt, especially when I used my Sonicare toothbrush. After several days …

When I was in charge of setting up a camp seminar for teens a couple of years ago, one of my responsibilities was to provide any medical or first aid needs we might have. I was given a list of things to buy, and a budget. When I went …

I have been using Pepsodent Complete Care toothpaste for about two years now. This toothpaste pretty much has it all: it helps to control cavities, remove tartar, and even whitens your teeth with its special enamel-safe formula. It actually strengthens the teeth enamel, according to the description on the …

I have tried brand after brand of tampons, ranging from generic to top of the line. I’ve tried the cardboard applicators and the plastic applicators. No product compares to Tampax Pearl. Obviously you have to decide which flow level you are at and use the proper …

I have used several products to treat my old, deep, white stretch marks on my breasts, butt, and hips, but I never stuck with them or had the patience to apply them multiple times a day. Plus, the cost was prohibitive on the more effective-seeming stretch mark products …

Whenever I think about Benefiber, it’s not good thoughts, at least it wasn’t prior to trying the product. I just thought it would be like dropping a spoonful of raw dry grain in your mouth and being forced to chew it until it was gone. That doesn’t paint a …

I was a bit confused when I saw the label on this conditioner. I thought perhaps it was an alternative to shampoo, because a product like that can be very useful for dryer hair types. As it turns out, this is in fact a conditioner, to be used on clean …

I started taking Evening Primrose Oil some few years back when my doctor advised me to start taking this supplement if I want to grow gracefully. Well who would not want to grow old gracefully? My OB-Gyne told me to look for good brands in health stores and I …

I have fibromyalgia along with a couple of other conditions, and one of the known symptoms is termed “brain fog.” This describes the phenomenon well. When you get the brain fog, you just can’t put your thoughts together well. It is similar to the effect of not getting enough …

As a person with dry skin ,I have tried many different lotions and creams. None have actually appealed to my sense of smell and softened my skin at the same time. This lotion makes my skin smooth and baby soft . I like that this product smells good and …

My kids and I have awful household dust and insect allergies. We also have bad asthma. As a result we purchased a Hoover Wind Tunnel Vaccuum because it had HEPA filters said to block out allergens. As with many vacuums the Hoover Wind Tunnel gets gunked with dust if …

After using one of their facial lotions and being very pleased with the results, I had a look at some of the other Eucerin products available. While I have a ton of various body lotions at home, I did need one that was very basic and could be worn with …

I have aging combination skin. It is dry in the winter and oily and acne prone in summer. I have noticed a few small lines and wrinkles over the past couple of years, so I have been trying to find products to minimize these and keep my skin as young …

Huntington’s disease is a genetic disease which is relatively rare because it is autosomal dominant, since most diseases are autosomal recessive - this is caused by repeats in DNA. Sometimes this is known as chorea because chorea is a type of dance - and the symptoms are jerked or …

Since the turn of the economy, I’ve cut back on my once a month spa weekends–unless I’m traveling and the hotel I’m staying at offers spa services. To invest money elsewhere, I’ve started doing my own spa treatments at home, and my favorite self-service is a pedicure.
I had become …

I have never in my life been able to gain and retain a tan. I’m out in the sun for five minutes and I can somehow manage to get a burn even if I’m lathered with sunblock and wearing a hat and long sleeve shirts. You may think I’m …

I have always loved Burt’s Bees products. Since I have a sensitive mouth and gums, and sometimes mint flavored oral products cause irritation and soreness with me, I have become a connoisseur of kids’ toothpastes. They are usually not mint flavored, and are very gentle, so I can use …

I have season allergies that can be severe. Although I have tried every prescription medicine and over the counter antihistamine, the only one that seems to work effectively for me is Benadryl. This can pose a problem when I need to be alert and actually functional, because the Benadryl makes …

Back in the early part of the decade, I used Clairol’s Daily Defense line of shampoos and conditioners—“ in particular the conditioners. It seemed to give my hair more body and a better feel and texture than any other. I noticed that it was becoming harder to find, so …

One type of tissue that I use quite frequently is the Marcal Aspen Facial tissue. This particular brand of tissue is really quite inexpensive. Really the price is the most attractive feature about this product. In my opinion, the softness of the tissue is not that …

I would not recommend the Atkins diet. When I went on the diet, I ended up gaining more than I loss. At first I was really committed to follow the diet, and was really sold on it. But I lost very little. I had some friends who …

I use aloe vera gel to help manage two conditions. I have irritable bowel syndrome and GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). IBS causes alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea (or as my doctor likes to say, “ornery innards”) and GERD causes reflux of acid into the esophagus, which can be structurally …

I am a regular user of just about every kind of hand soap I can get my hands on. I love to shop in natural product stores, and on my last trip to Fresh Market, I stopped by the health and beauty department and picked up this Pangea Organics hand …
