¶ 9:32 PM 0 commentsControversy Contines Over Safety of Mifeprex, Abortion PillAfter several deaths allegedly linked to Mifeprex, federal regulators are still investigating the safety of the RU-486 abortion pill
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- Since Mifeprexs approval in 2000, the drug has been linked to several deaths of women who died of Sepsis or severe bacterial infection. Despite these risks, the drug continues to be offered nationwide by doctors as an alternative to surgical abortions.
Mifeprex (mifepristone), the abortion pill, with a 92% success rate, can induce abortions up to seven weeks after fertilization. To date, there have been 637 reported cases of adverse side effects associated with Mifeprex. Many of these cases involved side effects such as hemorrhage, infection, and deadly sepsis or septic shock. There have been five reported deaths from septic shock after taking Mifeprex. All the deaths have been associated with a rare bacterial infection called Clostridium sordellii.
Federal regulators are currently investigating these deaths and the risks of Mifeprex, but the abortion drug is not the only related controversy in the news. The Pro-Life and Pro-Choice debate continues as South Dakota recently banned all forms of abortion while Massachusetts and Illinois ruled to make Plan-B emergency contraceptives available at all pharmacies.

¶ 12:20 PM 0 commentsSmartChoiceDrugStore Announces Wholesale Prescription Drug PlanAustin, Texas based discount pharmacy launches wholesale prescription drug club in which prescription drugs are sold at wholesale prices. This program benefits millions of US citizens and business owners who cannot afford prescription drug coverage. Call 866-BUY-MEDS for further information, price quotes, or to sign up.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 26, 2006 -- SmartChoiceDrugStore (SCD) implements an unparalleled wholesale pricing model, which is completely new for the retail pharmacy industry. The new wholesale pricing model is offered through the SCD Wholesale Club and is priced substantially lower than any other discount, prescription drug program as a way to meet the demands of the underinsured, uninsured and businesses who continue to be devastated by the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs. No other United States based pharmacy offers the type of savings that are available through the wholesale prescription club. For more information please call 866-BUY-MEDS.
The retail pharmacy industry and pharmacy discount cards have yet to address the rising costs of prescription drugs and even Medicare Part D does not address all uninsured citizens. In addition, the Canadian pharmacy response to the high costs of prescription drugs cannot address drug costs once they are generic. Therefore, SCD believed it was necessary to implement a new, wholesale pricing schedule for those citizens who cannot afford the astronomical costs of prescription drugs from retail pharmacies.
SCD CEO, Chatrick Clark, says that SCD Wholesale Clubs pricing is substantially lower than any retail pharmacy has offered before. We are addressing the prescription drug needs of an enormous segment of the population that has been left to fend for themselves. The need for low cost medications has become critical in this nation and our belief is that the SCD Wholesale Club business and pricing model can address this need head on. Its a win-win situation for both the customer and SCD, Clark says.
The SCD Wholesale Club also offers business owners the ability to offer prescription benefits to their employees that they could not usually afford either through insurance or supplemental health coverage. While SCD Wholesale club is not insurance, it does offer business owners a way of assisting their employees in obtaining an affordable way to meet their prescription drug needs. The Club makes it possible for employers to offer prescription benefits to their employees at costs that their employees cannot obtain independently. The Club extends this offer to the employees family as well. Costs for the Club via the business plan run $60 a year for one employee.
SCD also maintains a discount pharmacy through its web site www.smartchoicedrugstore.com. SCDs web site does offer substantially discounted pricing when the Club is not the best fit for an individual. This usually comes about when a customer is in the need of a single, non-recurring prescription like antibiotics and is not on a maintenance medication. In that case, our normal discount pricing is the best fit and is still far less in cost than visiting your local pharmacy, Clark says.
Currently, club prices, information, and sign-up are done via toll free number at 866-289-6337. The SCD Wholesale Club will be available by mid-May on the SmartChoiceDrugStore web site.
Media packets and information are available by calling Sara Wilkinson at 866-289-6337 ext 102. Texas pharmacy license #24171.

¶ 8:23 AM 0 commentsHead Off the Pain"Not tonight, dear, I have a headache." Those words have become the universal stop sign for bedroom romance. Sometimes its not true but many times headaches can just stop you in your tracks. The new Sinol Nasal Spray for headaches is here and it really works.
Newtown, CT (PRWEB) April 25, 2006 -- There are nearly 28 million headache sufferers in the United States 12 years or older. This means one in every four U.S. households has a migraine sufferer. More than half of these sufferers have never received a physician diagnosis and most are not receiving appropriate treatment, despite new and effective therapies designed specifically to treat the pain and symptoms of migraine. There have been no dramatic changes in the way physicians approach the treatment of migraine in the last ten years. Twenty-four percent of migraine sufferers report headaches so severe that they have sought emergency room care.
There is good news for those chronic sufferers, theres a new nasal spray in town and it works quickly. Sinol Nasal Spray for headaches is all natural and is made from the pepper. Sinol is the first OTC nasal spray for chronic headaches and there is nothing else like it. The pepper in Sinol is called capsaicin which is clinically proven to reduce pain, swelling and quickly relieves migraines and cluster headaches.
Our Sinol nasal spray for headaches has been an unbelievable break through, said Paul Carpenter, President of Sinol USA, Inc. located in Sandy Hook, CT. Carpenter came across capsaicin when his cousin told him that their grandfather used cayenne pepper on top of a shot of bourbon to relive his symptoms. After a few years of research and working with EMS Labs, a FDA licensed laboratory in Pennsylvania, the perfect formula was born. It took us many formulations to create what we have today, Carpenter said. We have a group of physicians and pharmacists that are using Sinol in private practices all over the country with outstanding results.
Some people experience premigraine warning symptoms, including blurred vision, "floating" visual images, and numbness in an arm or leg. Our Sinol Nasal Spray works very quickly and headache customers are telling us it relieves their headache pain before it can get to a full blown problem. As anyone with a migraine can attest, migraines are almost always accompanied by nausea- sometimes severe nausea- and vomiting. Taking any medication by mouth is often impossible. That's why so many of the prescription medications come in injections and nasal sprays. The onset of action is much faster with a nasal spray than for an oral medication, AND there is the great advantage of patients being able to administer Sinol without having to swallow it and keep it down, Carpenter stated.
Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City has proven that Intranasal medications for the treatment of headaches are significantly more effective than by digestive means. In an Open Label Safety Assessment performed last October, Sinol Nasal Spray was 85% effective in relieving headache sufferers and 90% in relieving allergy symptoms.
I am very glad that we are able to assist people with an all natural product that works extremely well. Antibiotic resistance is a HUGE issue in medicine right now in America and around the world. The more we use antibiotics in people and animals, the more resistant bacteria is becoming, Carpenter said.

¶ 1:16 PM 0 commentsDefective Heart Valves, Pacemakers, and Defibrillators Propose New Risks to Weak Heart PatientsMillions of men and women have heart devices implanted to save them from heart attack not increase their risks of heart attack
New York City, New York (PRWEB) April 20, 2006 -- In the last few years, the technology of heart devices has advanced but many recalled devices are being surgically removed after the discovery of fatal defects.
Patients with heart defects or disorders of the aortic or mitral valve may need a mechanical heart valve. Mechanical heart valves simulate real heart valves to maintain the proper flow of blood into and out of the heart. These patients must take anticoagulation medicine, like Warfarin (coumadin) to prevent deadly blood clots.
Years after their removal from the market, St. Judes Silzone and Bjork Shileys Convexo-Concave heart valves are still causing serious problems in patients. To support patients with St. Jude or Bjork Shiley heart valves or other recalled heart devices, LawyersandSettlements.com accepts consumer complaints at: Bjork Shiley Heart Valves
Or
Silzone Mechanical Heart Valves
The St. Jude Silzone Heart Valve was implanted into patients from 1997 to 2000 and was recalled due to leaking and device failure linked to serious fatal risks. One study showed that Silzone heart valves increased a patients risk of thrombosis/blood clot, embolism, and stroke.
Bjork Shiley distributed their Convexo-Concave (BSCC) heart valves from 1979 to 1986 but over 86,000 defective valves are still implanted in patients worldwide. These valves have remained in thousands of patients due to fatal risks associated with the surgical removal process. These valves have been linked to hundreds of deaths when the defective valve fractured and weaken the device.

¶ 10:05 AM 0 commentsCancer Chemotherapy ConcessionThe April edition of CancerWire focuses on the Chemotherapy Concession which allows oncologists to make a profit on the chemotherapy drugs that they prescribe to cancer patients.
(PRWEB) April 19, 2006 -- A recent study published in the journal Health Affairs Does Reimbursement Influence Chemotherapy Treatment for Cancer Patients revealed that the so-called Chemotherapy Concession is still in effect and that financial reimbursement has a direct effect on which chemotherapy drugs are prescribed to patients.
This study by researchers from the University of Michigan and Harvard University found that oncologists who were more generously reimbursed prescribed more costly chemotherapy regimens to metastatic breast, colorectal, and lung cancer patients. The study demonstrated that the chemotherapy concession (doctors making profits from prescribing chemotherapy) that brought Congressional attention several years ago is still with us and is still controlling prescribing patterns.
The Chemotherapy Concession
Unlike other doctors, medical oncologists (doctors who prescribe chemotherapy) can profit directly from prescribing certain drugs. Oncologists can purchase chemotherapy at lower prices than the amounts that the insurance company pays them and then pocket the difference. This mark-up, which can be as high as 86%, is called the chemotherapy concession. The Health Affairs study revealed that this type of reimbursement prompts some oncologists to use more expensive drugs with better mark-ups for the doctor. For example, the study found that for breast cancer patients, a one-dollar increase in a physicians reimbursement resulted in the use of chemo drugs that cost $23 more. The authors said, "Although reimbursement seems to have little effect on the primary decision to administer palliative chemotherapy to patients with advanced solid tumors, it appears to affect the choice of drugs used."
Why This Hurts Patients
The Chemotherapy Concession can harm patients in at least three different ways: 1) it creates a potential conflict of interest; 2) it may expose patients to more experimental drugs; 3) it may deplete a patients insurance benefits (i.e. drug coverage).
Potential Conflict of Interest - The Chemotherapy Concession gives oncologist other reasons to prescribe chemotherapy and select specific drugs. Patients must now ask why their doctor is prescribing more and different chemo. What is behind the decision? Oncologists insist that money has nothing to do with it. But, a New York Times article about the University of Michigan/Harvard Study (Study links cancer doctors pay and their treatment) cites Dr. Craig Earle, one of the study's authors and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard and an oncologist at the Dana- Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. According to the Times, Dr. Earle stated that despite their insistence that oncologists treatment decisions are based solely on what is best for the patient, these decisions are affected by payment policies and other financial influences, including gifts from drug companies.
Newer Experimental Therapies - Typically more costly chemotherapy drugs with higher reimbursement are those that are newer. Because the newer drugs have less of a track record in terms of safety and efficacy (i.e. less post approval marketing surveillance), there may be less known about their safety and efficacy. Therefore, it is possible that a patient may get a drug that is more dangerous to them or less efficacious because of a monetary incentive.
Patients Insurance - Someone is paying to put that extra money in the oncologists pockets. Because the costs of premiums are directly related to expenditures, the chemotherapy concession hurts all of us by siphoning money away from patients, employers and payers and into the hands of one class of provider.
What You Can Do
Obviously, a patient wants a clinical decision to be based only on clinical information, not on how much money the doctor gets to keep. If you are a patient, you should know if there are any financial incentives at work in determining what cancer drugs you are being prescribed. Ask your oncologist: Why are you prescribing these drugs? What is their published efficacy and toxicity in other patients with the same cancer? Do you have any research or financial interests in prescribing these drugs? Are these drugs a profit center for you in respect to reimbursement?
Obviously you do not want a confrontational relationship with your doctor. And just because a doctor makes a profit from the drugs they prescribe does not mean that the drugs are inappropriate for you. A trusting partnership between doctor and patient that facilitates informed consent is the goal for many proactive patients. Such a partnership, however, may require an understanding of all the factors that lead to a treatment recommendation.

¶ 9:12 AM 0 commentsOrtho Evra Birth Control Patch Allegedly Linked to Heart Attack and StrokeWith 60% more estrogen than birth control pills, the health risks of Ortho Evra Patch are increased
New York City, New York - April 17, 2006 -- The popular, widely promoted birth control patch contains more hormones than the traditional birth control pill and these hormones, progestin, estrogen, and norelgestromin, are delivered directly into the blood stream via a transdermal skin patch.
Whether caused by the high levels of hormones or the delivery method, Ortho Evra has been linked to blood clots, heart disease, stroke, and death in young adult women.
With reports of women dying from unexpected heart problems, the FDA recently asked the maker of Ortho Evra to revise the label to warn against the risk of blood clot, stroke, or heart attack. A womans risk of these side effects also increases with age, smoking habits, and pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

The 300,000-circulation quarterly magazine focuses on health and well being and establishes HCA-HealthONE LLC as the leading source of healthcare information for area consumers.
DENVER (PRWEB) April 15, 2006 -- A new consumer publication ONE has launched this month, instantly becoming one of metro Denvers largest circulation magazines. The 300,000-circulation quarterly magazine focuses on health and well being and establishes HCA-HealthONE LLC as the leading source of healthcare information for area consumers.
ONE is the insiders guide to current health and wellness trends. The first issue contains articles of interest to all ages and genders: from knifeless brain surgery to preventing sports injuries and much more. The next issue, due out in January, will continue to serve as a road map for asking the right questions and finding the right answers about healthcare today.
Until ONE, people in metro Denver havent had a reliable, single source devoted solely to medical information and healthcare news, says Linda Kanamine, HealthONE Vice President of Public Affairs. I think theyll be surprised to read about the amazing array of research, treatments and medical technologies that exist right here in their own backyards.
HealthONE partnered with Wiesner Publishing LLC to publish the glossy, four-color magazine. As the first publication of its kind in Denver, Publisher Maureen Regan says, It is so encouraging to be a partner with a company that is breaking ground in their efforts to connect with people in their communities and provide information that will ultimately make us all smarter healthcare consumers.
The medical industry is constantly changing with new technologies, new treatments and new preventions developing every day. The need to stay informed and to become better educated has never been greater, Kanamine adds. ONE was created to be a support system for Coloradans to navigate the complicated world of staying healthy.
In addition to copies mailed to homes, the magazine can be obtained at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, the Denver Chamber of Commerce or any HealthONE hospital.
HealthONE is the largest healthcare system in the metro Denver area with 8,700 employees and 3,000 affiliated physicians. Recently named Colorado's "Best Company for Working Families -- large business category," the health system was created in 1995 as a 50/50 joint venture between various affiliates of HCA and HealthONE Alliance, a Colorado nonprofit organization.
HealthONE includes: The Medical Center of Aurora and Centennial Medical Plaza; North Suburban Medical Center; Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center; Rose Medical Center; Sky Ridge Medical Center; Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital; Swedish Medical Center; seven surgical centers; more than 35 occupational medicine/rehabilitation, Broncos Sports Medicine, specialty, and outpatient diagnostic imaging clinics; as well as AIRLIFE, which provides critical care air and ground transportation for the HealthONE system.

For those who missed the storm of buzz during its rolling theatrical release, Side Effects will be released to DVD May 16 and sold in Borders, Best Buy and Circuit City stores across the United States, and online at www.sideeffectsthemovie.com and www.Amazon.com. Side Effects, which has been heralded as a light and entertaining approach to a heavy issue, examines the pill-pushing tactics of big pharma, and stars Katherine Heigl, sexy intern on ABCs award-winning drama, Greys Anatomy.
LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2006 - Causing a stir across the nation, sold-out audiences have flocked to see the eye-opening indie film that the pharmaceutical industry wishes would go away. For those who missed the storm of buzz during its rolling theatrical release, Side Effects will be released to DVD May 16 and sold in Borders, Best Buy and Circuit City stores across the United States and online at www.sideeffectsthemovie.com and www.Amazon.com.
Side Effects, which has been heralded as a light and entertaining approach to a heavy issue, is an insiders look at the pharmaceutical industry and stars Katherine Heigl, sexy intern on ABCs award-winning drama, Greys Anatomy.
Since its world premiere a year ago, writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau continues to be stunned by the level of interest from consumers, physicians and the holistic community. The film is making a tremendous impact because Slattery-Moschkau speaks from experience. Based on her decade working as a drug sales rep, Side Effects examines the pill-pushing tactics of the pharmaceutical industrys leading companies.
After releasing Side Effects to the public, Slattery-Moschkau went on to make Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety, a revealing documentary that examines the ethics of marketing within the drug industry, which will be available May 16, online only.
True to her position since the beginning, Slattery-Mosckau continues to take a reasoned approach to the issues surrounding the industry. We need to acknowledge that we need prescription medications, but understand that the current system is broken-these are the first steps toward progress, says Slattery-Moschkau.
With Michael Moores film Sicko due out in fall of 2006, the pharmaceutical industry will have its hands full this year. For me, this is not a witch hunt, says Slattery-Moschkau. Its about accountability, raising awareness, and leveling the playing fieldthe beauty of a free market system.

Norwalk, Conn. (PRWEB) April 12, 2006 -- Vertrue Incorporated (NSDQ: VTRU) today announced the donation of $10 million worth of pharmacy savings cards to uninsured and underinsured families throughout the United States. The Familywize discount prescription drug cards, issued by Vertrues Coverdell & Company subsidiary, are valued at $29.99 each and provide point-of-sale discounts on prescription drug purchases at major pharmacies and drugstores nationwide.
Through this partnership with Membership Services Corporation, needy families will receive the Familywize cards through participating United Way agencies. The first $5 million in cards were shipped to United Way agencies this month and the remainder will be distributed throughout 2006.
Too many American families have insufficient or no prescription drug coverage at all, said Debbie Flinn, Community Investment Director of the United Way agency of Danville-Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The Familywize discount prescription drug cards will help families who otherwise could not afford much needed prescription drugs.
Vertrue is very excited to partner with United Way agencies and Membership Services Corporation to get the Familywize card into the hands of families who most need the help, said Gary Johnson, President and Chief Executive Office of Vertrue. These cards can reduce prescription drug costs by an average of 20 percent.
Working with reputable and established charities like local United Way agencies is the best way to reach the people who really need to save money on prescription drugs said Dan Barnes, President of Membership Services Corporation.

The research is published in the April 2006 issue of journal Cancer Cell.
Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) April 11, 2006 -- Researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS -- http://www.uams.edu) are part of a team that has identified that multiple myeloma (http://myeloma.uams.edu), a cancer of the blood, could actually be several different diseases at the cellular level with a potential for genetically targeted treatments that could extend to other forms of cancer.
The research is published in the April 2006 issue of journal Cancer Cell. The article, "Tracking genome changes during cancer initiation, progression and treatment sheds light on multiple myeloma," is now available online at http://www.cancercell.org/.
UAMS myeloma researcher John D. Shaughnessy Jr., Ph.D., was one of three lead authors of the study, along with Ron A. DePinho, M.D., of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School, and Cameron Brennan, M.D., of Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center. Shaughnessy is director of the Lambert Laboratory of Myeloma Genetics in the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy (http://myeloma.uams.edu), which is part of the Arkansas Cancer Research Center at UAMS (http://www.acrc.uams.edu), and an associate professor in the UAMS College of Medicine (http://www.uams.edu/com).
"The new research, based on analysis of myeloma cells, is a significant step in understanding the genetic basis of myeloma development and progression," Shaughnessy said. "The study suggests that myeloma consists of at least seven different genetic subtypes of disease," he said.
"This represents a watershed in myeloma research since multiple myeloma's genetic complexity had previously kept us from determining if it was actually more than one disease," Shaughnessy said. "Now we can begin to better separate patients by the effect myeloma is having on them at the genetic level and develop targeted treatments based on that knowledge.
"Development of so-called targeted therapies, aimed at specific genetic mutations and biochemical pathways affected within cancer cells is being utilized now in some cancers like chronic myelogenous leukemia and is a hope for all cancers."
Several of the genes identified in the study also are associated with unrelated cancers, including pancreatic, lung, breast and ovarian cancer.
About the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy:
The MIRT (http://myeloma.uams.edu) continues to be at the forefront of myeloma research with this latest publication. Studies of myeloma treatment methods, led by Bart Barlogie, M.D., Ph.D., director of the MIRT, were published in the April issue of Blood, the journal of the American Society of Hematology as well as the March 9 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Barlogie's work was recognized in March when the organization responsible for publishing the annual America's Top Doctors named him a national physician of the year. The selection was based on nominations submitted by physicians profiled in America's Top Doctors.
Multiple myeloma (http://myeloma.uams.edu) is a type of cancer that involves plasma cells -- white blood cells that produce antibodies. It is the second most common cancer of the blood.
When plasma cells become cancerous, they reproduce uncontrollably and crowd out healthy red and white blood cells, preventing them from fighting infection and carrying oxygen throughout the body. Bone destruction is a common manifestation of myeloma. The malignant cells also produce a type of protein that can cause kidney failure.
Research at the MIRT has more than doubled the annual survival rate of a myeloma patient upon diagnosis from three years to seven years and beyond.
About the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS):
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with five colleges, a graduate school, a medical center, five centers of excellence and a statewide network of regional centers. UAMS has about 2,320 students and 690 medical residents. It is one of the state's largest public employers with almost 9,000 employees, including nearly 1,000 physicians who provide medical care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital and the VA Medical Center. UAMS and its affiliates have an economic impact in Arkansas of $4.3 billion a year.

¶ 9:00 AM 0 commentsNew Smoking Cessation Program Resolves the Real Reason that People SmokeNew discovery addresses the real reason why 84% of smokers fail when they try to quit. According to EFT, the driver behind most addictions is the need to tranquilize or medicate emotions. EFT is an easy to learn acupressure technique that successfully addresses the emotional drivers that fuel the ongoing addiction.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2006 -- Smokers typically use nicotine replacement or they go cold turkey to quit smoking. They also typically fail. In fact the US FDA reports that 70% of smokers want to quit, but more than 84% of them are unsuccessful in their attempts. Gary Craig, Stanford trained scientist and founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) explains that, conventional smoking cessation systems dont work because they do not address the real reason that people smoke which is to tranquilize emotional issues like anxiety or low self esteem.
Craig initially developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as a self-help tool for people with emotional difficulties but soon received reports from smokers who said that their craving for cigarettes subsided or disappeared while performing EFT for their emotional issues. These results didnt surprise Craig who maintains that, smokers are tranquilizing their emotions with tobacco and will find quitting enormously difficult until those emotional issues are resolved.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that people suffering from nicotine withdrawal have increased aggression, anxiety, hostility, and anger. However, Craig doesnt attribute these emotional responses to nicotine withdrawal. He says, smokers become anxious and irritable when they try to quit smoking because the unresolved emotions they had been trying to suppress with cigarettes come bubbling to the surface as nicotine exits their system.
Craig maintains that using EFT to resolve these emotions will help smokers to conquer this life threatening addiction permanently. If emotional issues arent properly resolved, the smoker feels overwhelmed and eventually turns back to cigarettes to pacify the emotional pain.
EFT is a simple technique that combines focused thought with gentle fingertip tapping on key acupressure points. Craig says, The main cause of all negative emotions is not where psychologists have been looking. Instead, it involves the disruption of the energy pathways in the body. Once these pathways are balanced, the emotional drivers behind smoking and other addictions start to fade.
Dr. Carol Look is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and EFT Practitioner who has helped many clients quit smoking. Dr. Look reports, While I used hypnosis successfully for many smokers, I found that treatment using EFT gave the client more control, empowerment, and an active tool they could pull out and use whenever they wanted.
Pat Farrell is another Clinical Hypnotherapist who prefers to use EFT for smoking cessation. One woman came to Farrell because she had quit smoking many times but had recently resumed smoking around the occasion of her wedding anniversary; a painful time since her husband had left her three years previously for a younger woman.
With EFT, Farrell helped her client collapse feelings of overwhelming sadness and betrayal as well as her immediate physical cravings for cigarettes. Farrell also addressed the womans habitual craving for cigarettes with her morning coffee. They worked together for about an hour and only spent three minutes on the actual cigarette craving. The rest of the time they addressed the emotional drivers fueling the womans need for cigarettes.
Two weeks after treatment, Farrells client still had no desire for a cigarette. She accomplished this without psychotherapy or nicotine replacement.
Anybody can learn to use EFT to eliminate cigarette cravings and even to quit smoking entirely. Gary Craig explains, smokers generally expect to fail when they set out to quit. But when they use EFT, most experience an instant reduction in their cigarette craving. Their level of hope increases as their cravings decrease. If they persistently use EFT to address the emotional component of their addiction, they are likely to have a high success rate.
If smoking cessation programs incorporated the proper use of EFT, Craig predicts that their success rate would be about between 50 and 80 percent - instead of the current 84% failure rate.
More than 225,000 people have downloaded Craigs free training manual and another 5,000 to 10,000 download it each month. Known as The EFT Manual, it has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT website is the sixth most actively visited natural health site in the world.
The EFT Manual gives anyone all the basics so they can apply it right away. It can be freely downloaded at

¶ 8:49 AM 0 commentsNew PQ Media Research: Blog, Podcast, RSS Advertising Grow Fastest Among Alternative Media, Surging 198% in 2005, and Forecast to Grow 145% in 2006 Study Finds Podcast Advertising Will Be Larger Than Blog Market by 2010Combined U.S. spending on blog, podcast and RSS advertising bolted 198.4% to $20.4 million in 2005, and is expected to grow another 144.9% to $49.8 million in 2006, according to exclusive research released today by PQ Media, a custom media research firm.
Stamford, Conn., April 11, 2006 Combined spending on blog, podcast and RSS advertising bolted 198.4% to $20.4 million in 2005, and is expected to grow another 144.9% to $49.8 million in 2006, according to exclusive research released today by PQ Media, a custom media research firm. But podcast advertising, nonexistent until 2004, is expected to be a larger market than blog advertising by 2010, according to Blog, Podcast and RSS Advertising Outlook, the first of five installments in PQ Medias Alternative Media Research series. This groundbreaking series, the culmination of more than six months of primary research, is the first source to define, size and structure the burgeoning alternative media sector.
Blog advertising accounted for 81.4%, or $16.6 million, of total 2005 spending on blog, podcast and RSS advertising, collectively known as user-generated online media. But the blog segment will comprise only 39.7%, or $300.4 million, of overall expenditures in 2010. Podcast advertising, meanwhile, reached $3.1 million in 2005, and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 154.4% to $327.0 million in 2010, when it will be a larger market than blog advertising. RSS advertising, non-existent until mid-2005, generated $650,000 in 2005.
Blog, podcast and RSS advertising are being driven by some of the same factors boosting the growth of the overall alternative media sector: continued audience fragmentation, the perceived ineffectiveness of traditional advertising, and the elusive but coveted 18-to-34-year-old demographic, said Patrick Quinn, president of PQ Media. Blog, podcast and RSS advertising have demonstrated an ability to reach younger demographics as well as influentials, and the media tend to be highly engaging. These are attractive trends to brand marketers that are focused on return on investment.
The relatively small size of these markets is an indication of the newness of the media, the lack of standard metrics and various technology issues, Quinn added. As advertising networks become more effective, user engagement escalates, and the industry works through its technology and measurement challenges, we expect user-generated media to grow at triple-digit rates over the next five years, said Quinn.
Technology, auto and media brands are the most active in user-generated media advertising, accounting for more than half of total advertising spending in 2005, with the food & beverage and apparel categories rounding out the top five. The technology, auto and media categories will continue to generate more than half of all advertising in 2010.
Total spending on user-generated online media is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 106.1% from 2005 to 2010, reaching $757.0 million in 2010, according to Blog, Podcast and RSS Advertising Outlook. By comparison, the overall alternative media industry including, among others, markets such as branded entertainment, digital out-of-home advertising, mobile marketing and video-on-demand marketing, is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 14.8% in the five-year period to $253.7 billion in 2010.
PQ Medias Alternative Media Research Series will also include reports covering the overall alternative advertising and marketing industry, including all 22 alternative media segments, and the first report to size and forecast the global market for branded entertainment, among others. These publications are available solely through PQ Medias website at www.pqmedia.com. An executive summary of Blog, Podcast and RSS Advertising Outlook is available online at http://www.pqmedia.com/blog-podcast-rss-advertising.html.
