Immunea Naturals LLC is proud to announce the launch of its new product, Immunea, a supplement developed solely for cold sore prevention. Rather than waiting until a core sore develops or trying to soothe the undesirable symptoms, Immunea boosts the immune system in order to keep outbreaks from occurring at all.
According to Alex Maurice, Owner: "The problem is, most people wait until they're experiencing initial cold sore symptoms, or until the cold sore actually appears, before they do anything about it. At that point, the battle is lost! Immunea puts the power in your hands to stop cold sores from ever forming in the first place and that simplifies your romantic and social life... Trust me!"
Immunea's seven powerful ingredients were chosen for their clinically proven ability to fight cold sores as well as absolute lack of side effects. Immunea also has the added benefit of boosting the immune system, reducing cold sore severity and length if an outbreak has already occurred.
This product sets itself apart from other cold sore medications through the stellar 90-day guarantee that accompanies all orders. If customers are dissatisfied with Immunea's performance for any reason, their money will be refunded-no questions asked.
"I want to make my customers a bold promise: Immunea must prevent most of their cold sores or drastically reduce their severity, or I insist they write for a full refund. They don't even have to mail the remaining product back. If Immunea is not working for them, we don't want their money, period." Alex said.
The Immunea Naturals LLC team is made up of people who have personally suffered the ill effects of cold sores, and have bent their passion and expertise into conquering this troublesome and embarrassing virus. To prove their confidence in the product they've developed, they take their own medicine and-after fighting cold sores for more than twenty-five years-have now been cold sore free for years.
Immunea Naturals LLC prides itself on providing the ultimate solution for cold sore sufferers. They value the health and well-being of customers, which is why they only offer the highest-quality product and service. Visit Immunea Naturals LLC or email them at pr(at)immunea(dot)net .

Candidates go homeless for a night
Three provincial election candidates slept outside in the rain on Monday night to experience — albeit for only 10 hours — what it's like to be homeless.
With only sleeping bags and the clothes on their back, Mississauga-Erindale NDP hopeful Michelle Bilek, Dalbir Kathuria (Brampton West NDP) and Patti Chmelyk (Brampton West Green Party) spent the night (from about 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.) in Duggan Park in Brampton.
They were the only candidates in Peel's nine ridings to accept the challenge from Peel Poverty Action Group (PPAG) to see what it's like to be homeless for one night.
The trio was joined by David Cullen, a volunteer with the Brampton Neighbourhood Resource Centre who guided them and talked to them about what it's like to be on the streets. Cullen, who was homeless for 25 years, showed the candidates places frequented by the homeless, including the wooded area where they spent the night.
Bilek, who shared her experience via Twitter, told The News they met a few homeless people during the night. She said it reminded her of a period in her life when she lived in a car.
Bilek said it's still difficult to talk about how, for several months while she was a university student, she slept in her car and relied on friends and family to help her while she tried to keep up with her studies.
Of Monday night's experience, Bilek said: "It was cold and there was a little bit of fear of what was going to happen, if we were safe, but we felt the camaraderie of being together and we knew that by doing this it would bring awareness to the issue of poverty, and homelessness is at the core of it."
She added that herself, the other two candidates and Cullen spent most of the night talking about ways to eradicate homelessness.
Although she woke up cold, sore and barely rested, Bilek said it was one of the greatest, and most eye-opening, experiences of her life.
Unfortunately, she noted, things haven't gotten any better for people in recent years.
"Your pay cheque is not going very far and the cost of living is going up," she said. "We're at a critical time here in Ontario where we have to make a move to adjust and put people first and give them the support systems they need. When you're worrying about your bills all the time, you really can't live."
PPAG officials say about 1,000 people a month use homeless shelters in Peel. Furthermore, some 15,500 families are on a waiting list for homes they can afford — and they'll be waiting for as long as 20 years.

Dreaded Sore Throat
Lately it seems to be a lot of people out there who are sick especially with a really sore throat.
Is it just me or does there seem to be some sort of sore throat breakout?
I went to Shopper's last night to get some throat numbing spray and it appeared that the isle that holds the cough and cold remedies was the most popular. We all looked at each other and said the same, sore throat?
Guess all those I saw yesterday, I will be seeing again at the clinic tomorrow. Day 4 and can't take no more lol All of you who haven't experienced it yet, you might want to wear a mask -Grins.

German Superheroine Battles Cold Sores With Herpotherm [Video]
The super set rarely concerns itself with cold-sores, what with all their healing factors and magic powers and whatnot, but what of the less immune civilians they fight to protect? Who will save your average leather jacket wearing fellow with an infected mouth from a fuzzy puppet representing a date-ruining affliction?. Why, a blonde superheroine brandishing a giant tube of Herpotherm medication, of course!
As far as many Chinese are concerned, traditional medicine derives largely from simple common sense, plus a way of life to which they've become accustomed. Those of us who are not of Chinese ancestry, however, might benefit health-wise by incorporating some of their theories about medicine into our daily lives.
Chinese people tend to prefer drinking tea to coffee. I assumed this was merely a cultural thing until scientists found out that tea contains more antioxidants than coffee. So, by drinking tea, the Chinese still get caffeine to boost their energy levels, but they also increase their antioxidant intake at the same time.
If the Chinese suspect that they're coming down with a cold - if they have symptoms like nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, headaches, muscular aching - they immediately brew some fresh ginger tea to warm up their bodies and induce perspiration; they believe that this action wards off the organisms that are making them ill. But if they are having flu symptoms (fever and a sore throat), they start drinking chrysanthemum tea or mint tea, which have cooling properties, to relieve the sore throat and make the fever subside more quickly.
The Chinese also believe that different foods have different properties, with each falling into one of five categories: cold, cool, neutral, warm or hot. These categories refer to the effect that a particular foodstuff or beverage has on your body; its temperature at the moment that you consume it is irrelevant. For example, coffee is regarded as hot, so even if you drink an iced coffee, afterwards you will feel more alert and energetic; so the "hot" coffee has elevated your yang energy levels. The Chinese eat more cool and cold foods (like watermelon and bean sprouts) in summer and more warm and hot foods (pumpkin, spices) during the winter months.
Much more complex is the traditional Chinese concept of balancing yin and yang for optimum health. Yin includes foods with cold properties, or those of dark colour; in general, it refers to substances that we can see and touch. Yin, on the other hand, can refer to body parts which are regarded as having that quality in abundance (like flesh, bones, internal organs, and blood). Yang can mean light-coloured foods or those with hot properties; it encompasses the energy in our bodies that helps us carry out the activities of everyday life. We cannot see it and cannot touch it but we can feel its energy all around us. Yin and yang have a very close relationship; they are interdependent. Yin produces and carries yang and yang moves and warms up yin.
In theory, our body should have yin and yang in balance, have both in almost equal amounts. When we are working hard or for long hours, we use up more of our yang energy. But when you work hard and for a long time, your yin levels will also decline. When you work hard, at first only your yang is reduced, so you could use ginseng to boost your yang levels. But when you work hard for many months, both your yin levels and your blood will become deficient, and then it's time to consume some of that famous black-chicken soup as a restorative.
Yin and yang theory actually applies to everything. Men, compared to women, are more yang, and women are comparatively more yin. As men get older they are more venerable to yang deficiency, which leads to a decline in overall energy, including sexual drive. As women get older they suffer from yin deficiency; this condition produces "empty heat", which is expressed as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and a feeling of being overheated, especially at night. Since the Chinese knew that this "change of life" was a normal part of growing older, they started to prepare for it and to seek out herbs that would help ensure a smoother transition to old age. Black-chicken soup and dang gui were used for women because they can nourish yin the best. Ginseng and young deer horn were used for men because they can be good for raising yang levels and solving sexual problems.

Just For Expecting Dads – Sex and Pregnancy
Some men love sex with their pregnant partners, while others view it as a complete turn-off. Regardless of whether your desire increases or decreases due to the pregnancy, your partner may not feel sexual at all. Your mother-to-be may feel fatigued and nauseous during the first 12 weeks, also called the first trimester, of pregnancy. Her thoughts and desires may not include a desire for sexual intimacy, or if they do, the nausea and general malaise she experiences during this phase of pregnancy will probably interfere with her ability to follow through on thoughts of sex.
Patience and Understanding Can Lead to Second Trimester Rewards
During this time, she needs emotional support and may need help completing tasks around the house if the nausea lasts past the morning hours or includes some vomiting. She will appreciate your patience and understanding. Spend some time listening to her talk about the physical and emotional challenges she has faced in the first trimester. Unless she has a relatively uncommon, but more severe type of nausea, called hyperemesis gravidarum, she will feel markedly better during the second trimester, or second twelve weeks. Changes in certain hormone levels during pregnancy will increase lubrication and blood flow to the genitals, making thoughts of sexual intimacy more alluring.
Concerned About the Baby During Sex?
If your partner is healthy with an uncomplicated pregnancy, sex is very safe. Your developing baby lies in a cushioned position in the uterus, far out of the reach of your penis during intercourse. Many moms-to-be report higher satisfaction and intensified orgasm during pregnancy. During the second trimester, your partner's abdomen usually has not grown large enough to hinder face-to-face intercourse. However, pain or bleeding during and after intercourse merits an immediate visit to your partner's OB/GYN.
What If She's Still Not Interested?
Some women may feel 'fat' or unattractive during pregnancy; depression, poor body image, and low self-esteem affect sexual desire in all women whether pregnant or not. Try connecting with her through some of her favorite activities or by talking with her about what you find beautiful and attractive about her pregnant figure. Regardless of whether she responds to these overtures, the pregnancy only lasts three trimesters. While your sex life will forever change once baby arrives, you and your partner can come up with an intimacy plan that works for the whole family and creates positive, rather than negative change.
Positions and Oral Sex
While you and your partner may feel willing to engage in sex during the third trimester, her abdomen will have grown markedly, making many positions unrealistic or impossible. At this point, a side by side position or entering from behind represent the best choices and most comfortable for mom. Oral sex offers a relatively safe alternative for both partners, but never blow air into your pregnant partner's vagina when performing it on her. This can create an embolus (air bubble) in her blood stream, which may travel to the lungs and could result in death. Avoid oral sex if you have a cold sore, active oral herpes, or other infection.
High-Risk Pregnancies
Gestational diabetes, placenta previa, and other complications may cause your partner's OB/GYN to order complete bed rest. This means rest and no sex. Some women with higher risk pregnancies can engage in limited sexual activity, but only her physician can make the decision as to how much and what type, if any, is allowed.
Final Considerations
If you had a strong and satisfying intimate life with your partner prior to pregnancy, chances are it will return sometime during the first six months of baby's arrival. If your pre-pregnancy sex life was sparse or non-existent, it won't get better after the baby is born. Seeking couples counseling from a therapist who specializes in couples sexual therapy may help. Ask your partner's OB/GYN if he or she has pamphlets especially for new fathers that detail sexual intimacy and your baby's impact upon it in terms men can relate to easily.

What's Up, Doc? Q: What is the best OTC treatment for cold sores on the lips?
Humans are vain. We love beauty. We shrivel away from lesions and wounds and gaping body
parts. When we see a cold sore on someone's lip, we don't think, "Oh, well 90 percent of
adults in the U.S. have antibodies to the Herpes Simplex Virus and 40 percent get cold sores
so that's pretty much normal.
No, we say to ourselves, "Ew."
Let's just say that one has a cold sore and is proud of it and perhaps enjoys the attention.
Still, it is easier to spread the cold sore to others during this active phase. Viral
shedding of the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), the cause of cold sores, occurs via direct
contact. Modes of direct contact can be kissing, sharing straws/cups, touching ones mouth and
then touching another part of the body such as the eyes, nose or...nevermind that.
Okay, so let's say one has no problem with avoiding sharing straws or kissing others for a
couple of weeks during an active infection. Well, complications of HSV may occur if it
spreads from the lip to the nose, eye or even the brain. Recent brain research showed a
connection between cold sores and Alzheimer's disease. In these studies, patients with cold
sores and Alzheimer's disease were found to also have a Vitamin D deficiency. In follow up
studies it is postulated that Vitamin D has an antimicrobial component in fighting infections
such as HSV infections in the brain. It may even be the case that chronic HSV infections in
the brain cause or predispose one to Alzheimers disease. Undoubtedly we will be hearing more
about this recent, cutting-edge brain research.
So, if you are one of the 40 percent of Americans who get cold sores, my recommendation is to
wave aside the OTC creams and treat it aggressively with an oral medication called
valacyclovir. This medication is taken in only one three gram dose and can be repeated in 12
hours if the cold sore appears to be progressing.
Why the green light for the 3 a.m. call to me for the prescription? Because the trick to
halting the viral replication and development of the cold sore is to treat as soon as the
redness and tingly feeling appears on the lip. Waiting 5 hours for the doctor's office to
open and another hour for the pharmacy to open will be too late to prevent the cold sore from
forming at all.
Prevention is always the best medicine, and you can prevent cold sores year round by using
lip balms which contain at least SPF 15 sunscreen at all times. Keep your immune system
strong by ensuring that you sleep seven to nine hours on average every night. Get regular
exercise. Nourish your body with whole foods.
Oh, and I have a Disclaimer: Please note that other doctors may not agree with my top three
emergency-in-the-middle-of-the-night list, so if you tend to get cold sores, you might want
to ask your doctor during regular banking hours for a prescription to keep on hand just in
case. Otherwise they will hang up with you and call me!

Gayle suffers a sore throatCold Sore
CHANDIGARH: West Indies explosive batsman Chris Gayle suffered from sore throat and cold on
Monday but the team manager confirmed he will be fit to play against Ireland at Mohali on
Friday in their Group B encounter of the cricket World Cup. "He had a sore throat and we
advised him some medicine for that," a doctor who attended on Gayle said.
Gayle on Monday came out for practice but returned to the dressing room at Sector 16 cricket
stadium, only to return later. But the Caribbean did not take to the field and kept sitting
on the sidelines and watching his teammates play.
Media manager Phillip Spooner said it was nothing serious or to be worried about. he will be
fit and play in the next match. "He had it from Dhaka. The infection is a mild one and he is
doing fine," he said, adding that Gayle will be fit to play in the next game.
Meanwhile, some members of the Ireland team who were not in the playing XI in the Bangalore
match came for a practice session at the Sector 16 cricket stadium and gave their heart out.
Coach Phill Simmons was along with them and helped them in practice for more than two hours.
Team manager Barry Chambers said, "Trent Johnston, who was injured in the match had undergone
a scan, which showed some bruises." The hotel where two teams are staying has been put under
tight security, with police personnel deployed in strength, both inside and outside the
hotel.

Westmeath revealed as Ireland's worst kissers
The results are in, Westmeath has some of the worst kissers in Ireland. Westmeath
suffered from more outbreaks of the cold sore virus in 2010 than most other counties,
according to a new all-Ireland study conducted by A.Vogel herbal remedies.
The study looked at health of the nation's lips, based on the popularity of the cold
sore barrier ointment, Bio-Propolis, a natural anti-septic used to inactivate the cold
sore virus and prevent a secondary infection.
Westmeath ranked 22nd with more outbreaks than 21 other counties. Offaly claimed the
title for 'worst kissers in Ireland' with the largest number of infections, closely
followed by Dublin and Sligo, highlighting their need for more kissable lips. Laois
claimed the title of having Ireland's most luscious lips recording the fewest
outbreaks with Kilkenny and Wexford coming a close second and third.
Commenting on the results, A.Vogel Herbal Adviser Nicola Murphy said Westmeath appears
to suffer from more cold sore infections than most counties. "Unfortunately, outbreaks
of this painful and unsettling virus also tend to increase at this time of year," he
remarked of the results.
"The virus targets weak immune systems across the country that have been affected by
our changeable springtime weather conditions. It can also be brought on by both
physical and mental stress which can further lower your immunity," she added. "If you
do suffer from cold sores I would definitely recommend Bio-Propolis. It creates a
protective barrier that speeds up the skin's natural healing process and soothes any
discomfort caused by the painful blisters," she added.
The Herbal Advisor said that Bio-Propolis can reduce the healing time of a cold sore
by 50% and prevent you suffering from another unwanted infection.
"It can also help stimulate the rebuilding of collagen, helping Westmeath's lips feel
kissable again in no time," Nicola Murphy concluded.

Amorous moose worries hiker on Gros Morne trail
I have been afflicted with the Bubonic Plague of colds and/or infections, viruses or whatever this is that has lasted for two weeks now. I have a head cold, a chest cold, two cold sores, cold feet, cold hands, not to mention receiving the cold shoulder from everyone because I might be contagious. Two weekends of outings have been missed and for that reason fodder for writing my column is sparse.
On that note I will delve in to the mental archives and write about an outing to Newfoundland.
About 16 months ago I had the privilege to go to Newfoundland to Gros Morne National Park and, more specifically, the tiny fishing hamlet by the name of Rocky Harbour. Officially I was there to attend a course called The Edge of the Wedge, which is given by the Gros Morne Institute for Sustainable Tourism (G-Mist). It was and is a three-day course on "experiential tourism" which is a key phrase and philosophy in the tourism industry. I have taken a few courses in my time and I've gotta say that this one is one of the very best. The three facilitators were professional, knowledgeable and switched off from one another seamlessly and kept me engaged all of the time.
As mentioned, the setting for these courses was in the tiny hamlet of Rocky Harbour, NL, which is in Gros Morne National Park. This place is a paradise for hikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers. If that was all it was that would be enough, but there is so much more.
It is about the people with their unique accents and vernacular, the lives they live and the warmth and charm they exude in the face of, what to me looks like a harsh and rugged lifestyle.
My coursemates and I were privileged to go to a secluded fishing station and were greeted by a fisherwoman and two fishermen who showed us the ins and outs of gutting a few freshly caught cod. Most of the party gutted, extracted the cheeks and the tongue and then salted the rest of the cod in preparation for drying. The woman, whose name is Louise Decker, was hilarious while showing us the proper way to prepare the cod. She told us about her life and transition from Newfoundland's first fisherwoman to assuming full-time maintenance duties in the national park, in addition to becoming a part-time park interpreter. The two men, Bobby and Roger, then showed us, and insisted we attempt, the tricky techniques of making and repairing fishing nets.
After our fishy experience, we moved along the beach with a park geologist by the name of Rob Hingston to receive a lesson in Gros Morne's fascinating geological history.
On another day we went on a quest using GPS to search for two locations. The last of these was the Lobster Cove Lighthouse where we met Michael Brezinsky, who had a Maritimes connection. Both he and his partner Anne Marceau worked in Fundy National Park many years ago and knew many of the local Albert County crowd.
Michael explained a number of things through hands- (and tongue-) on demonstrations. The tongue part came in when he told us how to tell the difference between a balsam fir and a white spruce by tasting the needles. The balsam fir is actually quite sweet, whereas the spruce was high up on the rancid scale.
Perhaps the most interesting part of our encounter with Michael was the explanation of the Tuckamore phenomenon (the origin of the word is sketchy). The balsam fir and the white spruce and some other species in other locations on the island of Newfoundland are so windblown that, combined with the rain and snow, they become bent and gnarled in the direction of the prevailing wind as well as becoming tightly compacted and dense. Early explorers were able to walk over the tops of them in places, as they were difficult to walk through. By the same token, getting underneath them provided excellent shelter from the elements.
There were other experiential components to our course that I do not have space to relate to you here. They involved music on several levels, as well as experiences in cooking, hooking and looking. It was an information- and experience-packed three days, ones that I will remember for a long time.
I guess I had better get on to some hiking experiences. I stayed an extra two days after the course was finished so that I could do some hiking and exploring.
The first hike was to Western Brook Pond which is a landlocked fjord about 32 kms (21 miles) from the visitor centre near Rocky Harbour.
Keep in mind that this was past Thanksgiving and I was all alone; there was nary a sign of another human when I encountered fresh moose tracks. When I looked up, I saw four mighty hooves which were attached to a large (largest I have ever seen) cow moose. The dear dame was standing on the trail blocking my path forward. She gently turned her head to look at me and politely sauntered off the trail about 40 ft. or so as if to say "go ahead." I knew I should have nothing to fear from the great beast and gingerly tiptoed by her and continued on my way. I thought that was it until the lovely lady proceeded back on to the trail and started to follow along behind me.
I must say that I began to worry a little (a huge understatement) as I had no intention of being the pied piper to this enamoured ungulate. For a nearly a kilometre the moose followed me until I neared a dock where a tour boat would normally be in the busy season. I went through the gate to the doc, closing it behind me and went out to the tip of the wharf. I looked back at my friend who finally decided that I was not worth the effort and wondered off in to the forest. Whew! It was only then that I really started paying attention to the spectacular scenery in front of me.
The cliffs in the distance guarding the Western Brook Pond rise from the bog 650 metres (2,035 ft.) high and continue down into the pond which is 165m (544 ft.) deep. You can get closer and indeed up the cliffs if you continue on to Stag Brook and up to the top from Snug Harbour, but his is only for superbly experienced hikers.
