Black AIDS Day: A Wake-up Call for Black Women about the Down Low

Black AIDS Day: A Wake-up Call for Black Women about the Down Low

News alert for Black women on National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day plus FREE tip sheet on how to find out if your husband or boyfriend is on the down low.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 6, 2006

As National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day approaches, (February 7) Black women need to become aware of 3 important facts:

 Black Women are the highest risk category for HIV/AIDS.

 Record numbers of Black women are contracting HIV/AIDS through heterosexual contact – mainly from husbands and boyfriends on the down low.

 Black women have been misinformed about how to tell if a man is on the down low -- which hampers their ability to protect themselves against heterosexually-contracted HIV/AIDS.

Husbands and Boyfriends a Source of Infection

Most Black women are surprised to learn that HIV/AIDS has spread far beyond the boundaries of the gay community. Black women now account for approximately 70% of all new AIDS cases. And their husbands and boyfriends are the reason why.

Ruth Houston, a New York-based infidelity expert and founder of InfidelityAdvice. com says, “Most Black women who are married or in committed relationships have been lulled into a false sense of security regarding HIV/AIDS. It has never occurred to them that their husband or boyfriend could be a potential source of HIV infection. However, CDC studies show that 67% of Black women with HIV contracted it, not from drug use, but from heterosexual sex.”

Spreading HIV/AIDS to Unsuspecting Mates

Many health care professionals attribute the rise in HIV/AIDS among Black women to Black men on the “down low" – gay or bisexual men who secretly have sex with other men while maintaining relationships with women. Recent CDC studies indicate that 90% of HIV positive bisexual Black men don’t even know that they are infected. These men are unknowingly spreading the virus to the unsuspecting women in their lives.

Houston, the author of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, says “Most down low brothers are so skilled at concealing their secret lifestyle, that their wives and girlfriends have no idea they’re cheating – much less – cheating with another man.”

Lies and Misinformation Abound

“The HIV/AIDS problem is compounded by the inability of Black women to accurately assess whether or not a man is on the down low.” Houston points out. “Terry McMillan’s recent divorce from her husband of 6 ½ years who finally admitted he was gay, shows how easily even savvy, street-smart Black women can be deceived by a man on the down low.”

Houston observes, “Many women have been mistakenly led to believe they can tell a ‘down low brother’ by outward appearance – the way he walks, talks, dresses, or acts. The result? Many innocent Black men have been falsely accused. Women have also been told that there are NO telltale signs. Because of all these lies and false information, Black women aren’t really sure how to tell if a man is on the down low.”

Signs of Same Sex Infidelity

Houston, who has spent 11 years studying and documenting signs of infidelity says, “The down low is basically another form of infidelity – same sex infidelity. Which means that most of the same signs of infidelity apply.” The signs are covered in detail in Houston’s book, Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, which lists practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs women usually overlook. (Lifestyle Publications, $29.95) http://www. InfidelityAdvice. com (http://www. InfidelityAdvice. com)

“Part of the problem,” explains Houston, “is that most women aren’t even aware that their partner is cheating. Even if they suspect, it never occurs to them that the ‘Other Woman’ could actually be another man. In addition to the standard signs of infidelity (many of which are subtle and easily overlooked) there are certain signs which indicate that his partner is another man. In order to protect themselves against heterosexually-contracted HIV/AIDS, Black women need to know what these signs are. Knowing what to look for is the key.”

Tip Sheet Tells How to Detect the Down Low

Out of concern for the health of unsuspecting women who have no idea that their men are on the down low, Houston has compiled a 2-part tip sheet called the Down Low Dozen. Part I of the Down Low Dozen Tip Sheet outlines Houston’s discreet 3-step process for finding out if a man is on the down low. Part 2 of the Down Low Dozen Tip Sheet gives advice on how to confront him about his down low status, what to do, and where to get help. The Down Low Dozen Tip Sheet is FREE to any woman who e-mails downlowdozen@gmail. com (DownLowDozen at gmail. com) with “Down Low Dozen” in the subject line.

Knowledge is Power

Says Houston. “Every Black woman should know how to tell if her husband or boyfriend is on the down low. This knowledge will reduce her risk of becoming infected with heterosexually–contracted HIV/AIDS.”

“Every Black woman should know her own and her partner’s HIV status – her life could depend on it. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure. If your health has already been compromised, early treatment and careful monitoring can help keep the virus from developing into full-blown AIDS. “

“In keeping with the theme of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day --‘get educated, get tested, get treated and get involved,’ -- act on this information. The life you save may be your own.”

Prominent Houston Maritime Lawyers Call for Greater Oversight of Companies Operating Offshore After Oil Rig Explosion

Prominent Houston Maritime Lawyers Call for Greater Oversight of Companies Operating Offshore After Oil Rig Explosion

LegalTube. com announces Houston Jones Act attorneys’ call to action after the recent explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig operated by Transocean. Ltd. off the Louisiana coast

Houston, TX (Vocus) April 26, 2010

LegalTube. com, the premier attorney video web site (http://www. legaltube. com), announces one of Houston’s premier maritime & Jones Act law firm’s call for overwhelming need for closer oversight of the companies operating oil rigs offshore by the federal government’s Mineral Management Service (MMS). Jeffery L. Raizner, a partner with the Houston law firm of Doyle Raizner specializing in maritime accidents such as the Deepwater Horizon’s explosion, stated “this tragic oil rig disaster is almost certainly the result of a management culture that gives safety plenty of lip service but not enough preparation and enforcement. Offshore oil drilling companies must approach safety with an eye toward the worst possible things that can happen at sea – fire, explosions, sinking.”

The maritime and Jones Act attorneys (http://www. legaltube. com/breaking-news-hot-list/maritime-lawyers-experts-on-offshore-injuries-navigation-and-shipping. aspx) at Doyle Raizner LLP believe that it is clear that there are too many operations and too many companies operating offshore to track for the limited inspection resources of the Mineral Management Service. As a result the oil exploration industry that operates oil rigs and oil drilling platforms is left to “regulate” itself, leading far too often to unnecessary death and injury of oil rig workers, as well as environmental damage, right off our coasts. There are well-documented instances of offshore injuries being concealed by offshore drilling companies even though they are required to be reported to government authorities. Without a clear understanding of the real risks and hazards being faced by the workers in our offshore industries, there is no real way for the risks to be properly addressed. Whether looking at a driller, roughneck, or floorhand, or even a supply boat crewmember, their health and safety is too important to be placed entirely in the hands of self-interested industries. There is no reason to believe that moving out of sight of land means industry will behave better.

LegalTube. com offers complete maritime legal resources, with a maritime lawsuit overview (http://www. legaltube. com/BREAKING-NEWS-HOT-LIST/MARITIME-LAW-OVERVIEW. aspx) and in-depth articles regarding at-sea accidents, Jones Act attorney videos, listings of maritime attorneys by state.

BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of West Loop Introduces Smoking Cessation Program

BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of West Loop Introduces Smoking Cessation Program

BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers utilize a multidimensional approach to achieve body balance, decrease pain and inflammation and help with issues such as smoking cessation

Chicago, IL (Vocus) November 29, 2010

BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers, LLC is pleased to announce the introduction of a new smoking cessation program now available at BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of West Loop, IL. The center, headed by Dr. Michael Rosen, is successfully managing patient health through a holistic program which combines acupuncture, applied kinesiology and homeopathy to boost the immune system, promote natural detoxification and increase core level energy, often resulting in the alleviation of symptoms associated with such conditions as allergies, IBS, chronic fatigue, migraines, skin conditions, and general pain and inflammation.

This clinic utilizes meridian and energy stress assessment to measure the patient’s neurological reactions to specific environmental substances and to determine which substances are negatively impacting the patient. The substances that trigger a physiological stress spike, which is measured by the body’s impedance to each substance, are recorded and then presented back to the patient during low level light therapy. Light therapy conditions the autonomic nervous system to react normally to the otherwise harmless substances.

The system is designed to reduce physiological stress, not to be confused with anxiety, which not only weakens the immune system, but is also the trigger for food allergies, seasonal allergies, pet allergies, asthma, eczema, migraines, shingles, celiac and numerous other auto-immune related conditions. How these specific substances affect the stress levels placed on our immune system has a direct impact on the quality of our daily lives.

The smoking cessation program uses light therapy and homeopathic remedies to help a person quit, while reducing cravings, side effects, stress and irritability. It helps to remove harmful toxins known to build in the blood, tissue and cells through habitual use of tobacco products. It is faster than traditional methodologies, requiring 3 visits over a one week period, along with the use of an herbal remedy and homeopathic supplement.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity to introduce the health benefits of this therapy and to aid smokers in quitting this dangerous habit. I have many patients with chronic health challenges as well, and despite their healthy lifestyles, still suffer from stress. We look forward to seeing patients in our office to assess their candidacy for these therapies that offer hope,” states Dr. Rosen.
BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers are being established across the country through BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers, LLC., based in Boca Raton, FL. Each clinic is independently owned and operated by a licensed physician. BioVeda, which means “knowledge and wisdom of the body,” reflects the vision and commitment of the BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of West Loop to alternative health care methods that can help thousands of patients reduce their level of suffering from common and debilitating symptoms and increase their overall health and wellness. Patients receive a customized treatment plan which best fit their individual symptoms and conditions; however, many patients notice significant results after just a single therapeutic session. The cost for therapy is very affordable and results are long-lasting.

BioVeda Health and Wellness Center of Portsmouth is now open and located at 1000 West Washington Blvd., Chicago, IL 60607 877-477-4808 http://www. biovedaofwestloop. com

For more information, to make an appointment, or for the BioVeda Health and Wellness Center™ closest to you, call 1-877-647-7566 or visit http://www. biovedawellness. com.

BioVeda Health and Wellness Centers are committed to the advancement of therapies that are affordable and effective in the management of chronic conditions and common symptoms without the use of pharmaceutical agents.

Health Conscious Travellers Seek Refuge from Bird Flu Through New Chain of Healthy Hotels, Where Stringent Mattress Cleaning is a Prerequisite

Health Conscious Travellers Seek Refuge from Bird Flu Through New Chain of Healthy Hotels, Where Stringent Mattress Cleaning is a Prerequisite

With travellers being more concerned about diseases and virus threats this holiday season, The Healthy Hotels Guide provides a list of certified hotels, who comply with Health Protect International pty ltd standards, in mattress cleaning, throughout Australia.

(PRWEB) December 11, 2005

Have you ever stayed in a hotel and wondered, who'd been in the bed before you? And How did you know if was clean?

After becoming sick after a stay in an unsanitised hotel bed, the now founder of Health Protect International decided to do something about the problem.

In a recent survey, Prof. Chuck Gerba of the University of Arizona, concluded cleanliness and safety are amongst guests top two concerns in with 9 out of 10 people interviewed, saying they choose hotels who follow more stringent cleaning standards.

Health Protect International has met this need, with the Inception of the Healthy Hotels Guide. To qualify, hotels must comply with the stringent mattres cleaning standards set by HPI.

Guests enjoy peace of mind, knowing their mattress has been cleaned with the HPI four stage process, which extracts, treats and protects the surface and inner layers of the mattress. An Australian company, HPI has the exclusive rights to Safety First Systems, which are unique because they achieve clean safe mattresses, without the use of moisture.

The Online Healthy Hotels Guide will be released in June 2006, covering Australia's cleanest locations. An Australiawide media campaign will accompany the release, providing exclusive exposure for the certified hotels listed and a powerful health message for Australian travellers and home owners.

To date, Australians have been subject to one of the highest rates of Asthma in the world. Costing taxpayers $760 million a year with around 800 related deaths.

Through it's expanding licensee network and education of the Australian population, Health Protect International aims to reduce these statistics and revolutionise the travel industry, by providing effective, dry mattress cleaning, with the HPI four stage process.

It's a big task, but one that HPI directors see as a massive opportunity.

As a pioneering Australian company, HPI is excited to raise mattress cleaning to a new standard around the world.

IHRSA’s Campaign for a Healthier America Calls on All Americans to Curtail Health Care Costs in 2010 by Becoming Physically Active

IHRSA’s Campaign for a Healthier America Calls on All Americans to Curtail Health Care Costs in 2010 by Becoming Physically Active

Campaign Invites Personal Stories of Inspiration on How Exercise Has Helped, Healed, and Preserved Good Health

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 17, 2009

The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) announced today that as part of its Campaign for a Healthier America, it is urging Americans of all ages and abilities to make 2010 the year we unite in a national effort to create a culture of movement in America wherein regular daily exercise is highly valued and widely practiced. IHRSA is inviting the general public to inspire others and help spread the new culture of movement by sharing their stories on http://www. campaign4health. org (http://www. campaign4health. org).

The 2010 effort is the health and fitness industry’s response to the unsustainable rise in healthcare costs and the threat it poses to the future stability of the U. S. economy. Research shows that regular exercise is an excellent preventive against many chronic diseases and has significant economic benefits.

“For decades, we’ve grossly neglected our health,” says Joe Moore, IHRSA’s president and CEO. “Now we’re paying the price. Uncontrollable health care costs, unprecedented rates of type 2 diabetes, an explosion of chronic diseases, a legacy of obesity for our children—the toll is simply too great. We must come together to change the way we live. 2010 marks the beginning of a new decade. It must also mark the start of a new way of life.”

A recent study entitled "The Future Cost of Obesity: National and State Estimates of the Impact of Obesity on Direct Health Care Expenses," based on research by Dr. Kenneth E. Thorpe, executive director of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease, indicates that if the current trend continues, almost 43 percent of U. S. adults will be obese. Obesity is just one of many chronic health conditions that can be prevented and better managed with exercise.

Studies show that exercise reduces the risks of premature death, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, colon cancer and breast cancer; reduces depression, anxiety and stress; helps control weight; helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints; decreases the likelihood of falling; enhances self-image; and promotes psychological well-being.

“We live in an era in which individuals have to take charge of their own health,” says Moore. “But if the mainstream culture and environment in which we live discourage healthy lifestyle choices; pose constant barriers to healthy living; and smother individuals’ hope for change, then the likelihood that a single individual can make meaningful and lasting change in his or her own life is greatly diminished.”

“The health and fitness industry has several initiatives under way to provide support as America’s partner in preventive healthcare,” Moore continues. “Programs like the Campaign for a Healthier America are starting points and can offer the impetus and inspiration for many. Our chance for success in making positive change is so much greater if we come together as a national community to inspire one another, to remove existing barriers to exercise and healthy lifestyle choices, and to transform our culture to one that supports wellness and preventive living.”

To post a story, the public is invited to visit http://www. campaign4health. org (http://www. campaign4health. org). The Campaign for a Healthier America is a national grassroots project bringing together exercise enthusiasts to make healthy lifestyles a priority for all Americans. The Campaign seeks to bring the fitness industry together with government, employers, medical and public health professionals, insurance providers, schools, and each of us individually. The Campaign for a Healthier America is sponsored by: American Council on Exercise, CYBEX, and SPRI.

“It’s time we change the way we live as a people if we are to put our country back on track,” says Moore. “I know we can do it. Together, we can inspire one another. I invite anyone who has enjoyed the benefits of exercise to share their stories of hope and encouragement with others by visiting www. campaign4health. org.”

Other IHRSA-Organized Health Initiatives

‘I Lost It at the Club!’ is a fun and collaborative weight loss program focused on healthy living and is one of a number of consumer-focused health initiatives designed by IHRSA to offer the support people need to live healthier lives. Participating IHRSA health clubs will kick off 2010 with ‘I Lost It at The Club!’ on January 11, and the program will end on March 5th. The eight-week program will help current and prospective club members fulfill their New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and get in shape. Last year’s ‘I Lost It at the Club!’ included 434 IHRSA clubs. Of the clubs who reported their results, a total of 4,857 participants lost over 22,100 lbs.

As part of the annual Get Active America! program started five years ago, a wide variety of health clubs nationwide offer health-focused programs each May and open their doors for free for several days. The goal is to make it easier to “Take Back Your Health” and include exercise as a natural part of a daily routine. Get Active America! week takes place May 3-9, 2010.

IHRSA supports health promotion legislation to help encourage more active lifestyles, such as the Workforce Health Improvement Program (WHIP) Act (H. R.2106, S.913). This federal legislation seeks to combat chronic disease and obesity by correcting a tax inequity that currently creates a disincentive for offering certain fitness-based wellness programs. Specifically, the WHIP Act reaffirms an employer’s right to deduct the cost of subsidizing or providing off-site health club benefits to their workers, while reclassifying the benefit as a nontaxable fringe benefit. Current law allows employees to use on-site fitness facilities free of any tax implications, but when a business needs to outsource this health benefit, employees who receive off-site fitness center subsidies are required to pay income tax on the benefits. As a result, employees who work for employers that do not have onsite fitness facilities – typically employees of small businesses – must pay prohibitive taxes for a wellness benefit that their counterparts at other corporations receive tax-free. The current law also discourages off-site fitness benefits by requiring employers to bear the prohibitive administrative costs associated with complying with IRS rules relating to off-site fitness benefits. The WHIP Act eliminates the tax on off-site fitness center subsidies, making it easier for all employers to offer important exercise incentives for their workers.

IHRSA also supports the Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Bill (H. R. 2105), which takes a giant step toward a healthier America. The PHIT Act allows for expenditures for physical fitness programs and exercise equipment to be payable out of pre-tax health investment accounts such as flexible spending accounts (FSAs), medical savings accounts (MSAs) and/or medical reimbursement arrangements. The PHIT Act will help provide the level of support many Americans need to be able to adopt healthier lifestyles and become more physically active.

About IHRSA
IHRSA is a not-for-profit trade association representing health and fitness facilities, gyms, spas, sports clubs, and suppliers worldwide. IHRSA is committed to taking a leadership role in advancing physical activity, which is critical to America's health and the battle against obesity and disease. IHRSA supports effective national initiatives to promote more active lifestyles for all Americans and is working to pass laws that will help affect societal changes toward a more fit America.
