Damiva Expands Retail Distribution in Canada

Damiva expands throughout Quebec and into Health Food Channels

Damiva Inc. announces expanded retail presence in Quebec and health food channels through the addition of the major pharmacy chain, Pharmacie Jean Coutu, and natural health distributor, ProSanté Inc.

With two feminine care products, Mae and Cleo, that are in distribution across major pharmacy chains across Canada, Damiva is also expanding its personal care set to include new skincare and hand and body lotion products, launching in Spring 2018.

Damiva was founded by Chia Chia Sun, CEO, and Gardiner Smith, President, on the premise that 100% natural body care products are important for women because chemicals in personal care products can disrupt hormones. The volatile organic compounds in consumer and industrial products have been found to contribute up to 50% of urban air pollution in a recent, seminal study by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

“We are dedicated to making our bodies and our environment healthier,” says Chia Chia Sun, CEO. “We ascribe to the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals of improving maternal health and the environment.”

Damiva’s 100% natural products are vegan, cruelty-free and environmentally sustainable. The company’s environmentally conscious packaging is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and uses non-toxic plant dyes.

Damiva Inc. develops, manufactures and distributes innovative natural products for women, and sells coast-to-coast across North America.

Digital Payment Platform Alipay Now Accepted At Retailers Across Canada

Alipay Partnership With Motion Pay Opens The Door To Canadian Retail

Third-party mobile and online payment platform Alipay has announced that its partnership with Ottawa-based Motion Pay, which permits retailers to process Chinese payments, has helped them to achieve significant milestones.

Due to the partnership, Alipay is now accepted in major cities in Canada including Toronto, Ottawa, Banff, Montreal, and Vancouver, and spanning several categories including retail, hospitality, restaurants, and luxury. Over 520 million active users in China will be able to use their Alipay Mobile Wallet at POS with Motion Pay merchants, both online and in-store.

“Chinese consumers are a rapidly-increasing segment for Canadian merchants,” said Eric Paquet, president of Motion Pay. “We continue to drive Alipay’s Canadian market adoption in every major Canadian city from Halifax to Vancouver. Many Canadian merchants can already attest to it helping their business expand Chinese commercial, tourism and trade opportunities.”

Debuted in 2004, Alipay has grown from a digital wallet to enabling users to hail a taxi, book a hotel, purchase movie tickets, and pay utility bills. Last month, Cadillac Fairview enabled AliPay and WeChat Pay in its malls.

“We are thrilled with the success of our partnership with Motion Pay to date, which has played an instrumental role in our growth across Canada this past year,” said Souheil Badran, president of Alipay in the Americas. “As our first Canadian partner, Motion Pay has helped us to reach critical mass in acceptance points across Canada. We look forward to continuing our relationship and enabling even more Canadian brands and retailers to connect with the growing number of Chinese consumers seeking items they can’t find at home, and simplifying payments by offering Alipay’s familiar method.”

Large Scale Study Reveals Dementia and Alcohol Risk Factors

Large Scale Study Reveals Dementia and Alcohol Risk Factors

Alcohol use disorders strongly linked to dementia, study shows

Alcohol use disorders are the most important preventable risk factors for the onset of all types of dementia, especially early-onset. This according to a nationwide observational study, published in The Lancet Public Health journal, of over one million adults diagnosed with the disorder in France.

This study looked specifically at the effect of alcohol use disorders, and included people who had been diagnosed with mental and behavioural disorders or chronic diseases that were attributable to chronic harmful use of alcohol.

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

Of the 57,000 cases of early-onset dementia (before the age of 65), the majority (57%) were related to chronic heavy drinking.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chronic heavy drinking as consuming more than 60 grams pure alcohol on average per day for men (4-5 Canadian standard drinks) and 40 grams (about 3 standard drinks) per day for women.

A NEED TO SCREEN

As a result of the strong association found in this study, the authors suggest that screening, brief interventions for heavy drinking, and treatment for alcohol use disorders should be implemented to reduce the alcohol-attributable burden of dementia.

“The findings indicate that heavy drinking and alcohol use disorders are the most important risk factors for dementia, and especially important for those types which start before age 65, and which lead to premature deaths,” says study co-author and Director of the CAMH Institute for Mental Health Policy Research Dr. Jürgen Rehm. “Alcohol-induced brain damage and dementia are preventable, and known-effective preventive and policy measures can make a dent into premature dementia deaths.”

HEALTH IMPACTS OF CHRONIC ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION

Dr. Rehm points out that on average, alcohol use disorders shorten life expectancy by more than 20 years, and dementia is one of the leading causes of death for these people.

For early-onset of the disorder, there was a significant gender split.  While the overall majority of patients were women, almost two-thirds of all early-onset dementia patients (64.9%) were men.

Alcohol use disorders were also associated with all other independent risk factors for onset, such as tobacco smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, lower education, depression, and hearing loss, among modifiable risk factors. It suggests that alcohol use disorders may contribute in many ways to the risk of dementia.

“As a geriatric psychiatrist, I frequently see the effects of alcohol use disorder on dementia, when unfortunately alcohol treatment interventions may be too late to improve cognition,” says CAMH Vice-President of Research Dr. Bruce Pollock. “Screening for and reduction of problem drinking, and treatment for alcohol use disorders need to start much earlier in primary care.”

The authors also noted that only the most severe cases of alcohol use disorder—ones involving hospitalization—were included in the study.  This could mean that, because of ongoing stigma regarding the reporting of alcohol-use disorders, the association between chronic heavy drinking and dementia may be even stronger.

Herbasante's All-in-One Formula for Reducing Inflammation

Herbasante’s Inflamed: Nature’s anti-inflammatory

 

Inflammation is a set of bodily reactions that take place in reaction to an attack. The attack may be external, such as a wound, infection or trauma. Alternatively, it may originate from inside the body, as experienced in autoimmune disorders.

Underlying all chronic diseases, low levels of silent, chronic inflammation are present. Heart disease, cancer, respiratory illnesses, diabetes, nephritis and Alzheimer’s disease are all prevalent in North America, and are the primary causes of mortality in the US, related to the chronic, long duration of inflammation in the body.

It can be challenging to identify the exact cause of inflammation but these are some common etiologies to consider as contributors to inflammation:

  • Allergies
  • Fever
  • Inflammatory diseases
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • The typical Standard American Diet (SAD Diet)
  • NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
  • SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
  • Cardiovascular disorders s
  • Physical stress, wounds
  • Chemical/xenobiotic poisoning  
  • Viral and bacterial infections
  • Parasitosis
  • Cancer
  • Toxemia
  • Chronic/oxidative stress
  • Uric acid
  • Oxidized lipoproteins

And more

*Chronic diseases are associated with chronic inflammation.

About Infla-Med:

Infla-Med boasts many effective, therapeutic benefits due to the combination of proteolytic enzymes and herbal remedies contained within it, all of which have proven anti-inflammatory properties.  

High quality Meriva turmeric contained in Infla-med has been included in a phosphatidylcholine/phytosome form which accounts for a very high absorption rate in the body. In fact, the superior absorption ratio makes it 29 times stronger on average than your standard turmeric extract.

Turmeric/phytosome is a transportation mechanism that helps reduce polarity, greatly increasing the absorption of this form of turmeric. The Phytosome format  optimizes the absorption and therefore the bioavailability of the active ingredient.

To date, 26 clinical studies have been conducted on the turmeric/Meriva extract, making it the most well researched extract, with over 1,400 people in total involved in the research studies. The dosage used in the studies are one gram per day which is the suggested daily dosage for Alterra’s Infla-med.

Infla-med also contains:

Enzyme therapy – Serrapeptase and bromelain. Proteolytic, anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic enzymes.

NEM (Natural Eggshell Membrane) – Reduces pain and joint stiffness and improves joint mobility and range of motion within 7-10 days. It has been clinically proven to act as the fastest, most effective nutritional formula for relieving osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.

Studies also demonstrate its clinical efficacy in treating intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Harpagophytum/Devil’s Claw: The plant has anti-inflammatory effects due to the inhibition of the prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the pro-inflammatory enzyme COX-2.

The next time your client presents with chronic disease, consider the effective reduction of inflammation using the effective Infla-med.

Managing Herpes Outbreaks

Managing Herpes Outbreaks

Herpes and the Mind-Body Connection

By Dr. Wayne C. Diamond

For over three decades, I combined my work as a Naturopathic Physician and a Psychotherapist in private practice. In my research, it became apparent that there are very definite psycho-neurological, nutritional, and glandular processes that stimulate the herpes viruses. This research led me to formulate my award-winning Herpanacine Skin Support, by looking at all the issues involved.

Anyone who has ever experienced herpes outbreaks probably realizes that this condition can be stimulated by stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety cause the body to undergo dramatic changes, one of which is the elevation of body temperature. At these times, temperatures can rise one full degree, and this reaction interferes with nutrient absorption.

Excessive heat may cause evaporation of some of the nutrients before being absorbed. It may also cause nutrients to break down so finely that digestive enzymes won’t work on them, therefore the nutrients are not absorbed properly. (xanax) When deprived of this needed nutrition, the body will elevate acid levels both in concentration and amount. The stomach will have far more acid than needed to break down food, and the excess will be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Once the over-acidic blood reaches the soft tissue of the body, it becomes an extremely powerful irritant, especially in areas where the herpes virus is present. These areas are the mouth, sexual organs, or in the case of herpes zoster (shingles), inflamed or irritated tissue anywhere on the body.

It became clear in my research that there are two types of stress that stimulate the mind-body process:

First, internalized emotions, which is a pattern of not expressing feelings in times of conflict.

Second, indecision or ambivalence will set this mind-body process in motion. Indecision and ambivalence affect people in a different, yet related, way. With my patients I have found that when acid levels do rise, the functioning of the glandular system, which controls immune function, will be greatly reduced. This occurs because the elevated acid levels limit the flow of blood to the glands and limit the distribution of enzymes that activate the immune system. The herpes virus now has an ideal environment to produce an outbreak until Herpanacine Skin Support builds up in the system.

We all have stress at times, but by understanding how it affects us, we can try to reduce its effects, maintain a healthy mind-body connection, and achieve overall mental and physical health. Another aspect in controlling herpes is proper nutrition. It is essential. My research led me to develop a specialized nutritional program for people who have any form of herpes. One of the important elements of this program is the issue of pH (acid/alkalinity). I found when I started working with patients who complained about outbreaks, usually they were consuming large quantities of acid-producing foods. When I saw this occurring with patients, I realized that I had to develop an alkaline-focused nutritional program. Here is a comprehensive program to help prevent herpes outbreak along with my award winning Herpanacine Skin Support System:

Eat plenty of green vegetables, grains, brown rice, pasta (white or pesto sauces – not tomato), yams, salads (small amount of dressing), and non-citrus fruit.

For protein, fish and fowl are preferred, especially in colder weather. Vegetable proteins such as beans, tofu, and tempeh (cultured soybeans) are the best.

Avoid alcohol, white sugar and flour, the seasoning MSG, white potatoes, fried foods, red meat, tomato products, shellfish, eggplant, green pepper, hard cheese, excessive dairy products (more than once a day), vinegar (small amounts), black tea, coffee, and citrus fruit. These foods have a high acid content stimulating the body to produce excessive hydrochloric acid (HCL) to facilitate the digestive process.

Avoid drinking while eating. It interferes with proper digestion and promotes high acid buildup in the stomach.  Another important digestive aid is eat slowly, chew well.

As a naturopathic physician, I work with the whole person, their nutritional needs and the use of vitamin and herb supplements to balance their bodily systems. As I worked with my herpes patients and gathered information on the disease, I began to develop my special formula…Herpanacine Skin Support System. It is an all-natural blend of twelve vitamins and herbs formulated to prevent chronic viral and bacterial skin eruptions. It is an effective way to help supply the nutritional support that can inhibit and overcome devastating skin and health infections and promote continued skin health.

The skin is a mirror of your overall health, and the state of our health is reflected in our lives daily.

Dr. Wayne Diamond has researched and developed other award winning natural formulas, Diamond Etern-L Age Rewind, Diamond MIND, Diamond Eye Health, Healthy Horizons Stress Fighting Multi and Herpanacine Skin Support. For more information, please call (888) 467-4200.

Effective Psoriasis Treatment

Herpanacine Provides Psoriasis Relief

I’ve suffered from psoriasis for most of my adult life. It would reach a point where I’d run to the dermatologist for something topical, but it never worked, the outbreak always came back. Thankfully it was localized on my scalp, so you couldn’t see that I had a skin problem, but I knew it was there. It itched all the time and I was always embarrassed. Most mornings I would wake up with blood under my fingernails from scratching in my sleep. It was severe and painful.

Five years ago, my psoriasis spread to my face. It was all around my mouth—and it wouldn’t go away! That is when a friend of mine put a bottle of Herpanacine in my hand and said, “Just try it… give it a few months, you won’t regret it.” Skeptical but desperate, I gave it a try. After several weeks, my face was completely clear, even those pesky breakouts I got from stress, or hormonal imbalance, were gone!

My scalp took quite a bit longer, but I stayed with it. From May until August I continued to take the

maximum dose, three in the morning and three in the afternoon, and wait. I’m sure my skin cleared much more quickly than I realized, but when I finally did take notice that I was no longer scratching, I was thrilled!

Once my skin was clear, I ran out and bought shampoo: a non-medicated, lovely smelling shampoo! I was concerned my psoriasis would come back, but it didn’t happen. I continue to use any shampoo, conditioner and hair product now and my scalp stays clear.

I will take Herpanacine for the rest of my life. My skin is clear and continues to look better with each dose, it improved the tone and texture of my skin. I’m also healthier because of the benefits it has on my immune system. Stress and chocolate are two triggers for skin outbreaks and since I can’t seem to get away from either, I really need to continue taking Herpanacine.

Combat Eczema

Beauty Inside and Out

Cyril Meyre ND.A.

Our skin epidermis and dermis constitutes approximately 16% of our body weight. The skin is our largest organ and acts as the first line of defense in the protection of our immune system.

Many people of all ages suffer from skin conditions impacting their health. In children with atopic dermatitis, 45% present symptoms before the age of 6 months, 60% once they turn one year old, 85% before the age of five years and 40% will be reached in adulthood. Some cases will improve over time and others may not.

It is possible to manage eczema and other skin illnesses and prevent them from becoming worse?

The power of 6 medicinal plants and essentials nutrients

Herbasante’s Execalm capsules’ phyto-therapeutic blend allows for the elimination of metabolic waste by ensuring that the blood, liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system all function effectively. The addition of bio-active and bioavailable B complex vitamins and minerals promotes skin regeneration.

Combat Eczema, Psoriasis, Hives and Itching

The specific selection we have included in our Execalm formula includes certain B complex vitamins and minerals which are known to prevent dry skin and dermatitis. They also promote the regeneration of the epithelial layer and the growth of skin appendages. They help to prevent rashes and skin eruptions and are essential for stabilizing the structure of cellular membranes to help the skin heal faster.

Some B vitamins are key for regenerating conjunctive tissue (skin). With chronic skin illness we always require the same vitamins and minerals in larger amounts to heal over conjunctive tissue. When they are depleted, they may be replenished with the addition of B3, B5, B6, B8 selenium and zinc.

Skin issues have several etiologies. They should be evaluated in order to advise on the appropriate treatment. It is not uncommon in a client case for us to see several etiologies presenting at once: Asthma, allergic rhinitis and leaky gut syndrome. When a skin condition is chronic and present overtime, the skin barrier becomes compromised, is weakened and this can lead to infection.
