San Diego-based FluidEssentials, Inc.™ Launches New Sleep Supplement and Ties Low Serotonin to Stress and Sleeplessness

San Diego-based FluidEssentials, Inc.™ Launches New Sleep Supplement and Ties Low Serotonin to Stress and Sleeplessness

The science behind TotalSleep™ shows serotonin deficiency can lead to poor sleep.

Escondido, CA (PRWEB) December 3, 2008

Millions of Americans are too stressed out to sleep. They either can't get to sleep, or they can't stay asleep. FluidEssentials, Inc. (http://www. fluidessentials. com) is taking a completely new approach to getting restorative sleep with the launch of its natural sleep supplement, TotalSleep (http://fluidessentials. com/products. php? section=totalSleep).

Unlike prescription drugs and over-the-counter sleep aids that can be habit-forming and have unpleasant after-effects, TotalSleep focuses on raising low serotonin levels, which is "a root cause of most sleeplessness," said Matt Titlow, founder and chief operations officer of FluidEssentials, Inc. Stress, tension and negative mood can deplete serotonin and make it difficult to sleep.

"The unique formula in TotalSleep increases serotonin levels naturally, helping you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep longer and wake up ready to go," he explained. "Healthy serotonin levels also mean improved response to stress, fewer carbohydrate cravings, reduced tension and increased energy and focus throughout the day."

The now-rested Laurie Platt is just one of the many users who is reporting sleeping better and waking more refreshed after using TotalSleep. Introduced to the supplement during the National Fibromyalgia Association's Walk of Fame in Orange, California, she said, "I have taken prescription sleep aids and they didn't help me sleep. For the first time in a long time, I got some sleep and didn't wake up four times a night. This stuff really works!"

According to Titlow, Platt is among the majority of sleep-deprived consumers who find TotalSleep effective after the first use. "Even more people notice dramatically improved sleep within three consecutive nights of use."

Designed to be taken nightly for stress and sleeplessness, the powdered supplement in convenient stick packs can be mixed with cold or hot water and comes in two popular flavors - Apple Tea and Cinnamon Tea. TotalSleep's main ingredient is LT-ONE™, ultra-premium L-Tryptophan, which boosts serotonin and begins the body's natural sleep cycle.

About FluidEssentials, Inc.:
FluidEssentials™ formulates and markets natural, great-tasting and easy-to-use health supplements to promote a more healthy, active and vibrant lifestyle. Products include: TotalSleep™, the first and only nutritional supplement drink mix to naturally boost serotonin levels for less stress and better sleep; and FlexEssentials™, the first nutritional supplement drink mix to boost the body's antioxidants for rapid recovery and relief for muscles, bones and joints. The water-soluble product line is available online at fluidessentials. com and drugstore. com (http://tinyurl. com/5tgj7y) or by phone at 866.62.FLUID.

San Diego Albertsons' Stores "Chip" in for Ocean Conservation

San Diego Albertsons' Stores "Chip" in for Ocean Conservation

Albertsons' Grocery Stores, already known for their community involvement and environmental stewardship, this month has stepped up and accepted a radio station's challenge and is "chipping in" for ocean conservation.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2007

Albertsons' Grocery Stores, already known for their community involvement and environmental stewardship, this month has stepped up and accepted a radio station's challenge and is "chipping in" for ocean conservation.

A popular local San Diego radio station 94.1FM, recently interviewed the co owners of Whale Tails Tortilla Chips, an organic tortilla chip shaped like a whale's tail. Jerry of the "Jeff and Jer " morning radio show followed up the interview by challenging all major grocery chains to show their support of ocean conservation by adding this delicious tortilla chip, who's goal is to provide sustainable funding for marine conservation, to their snack aisle.

Lori Iller, Center Store Specialist for San Diego Albertsons, was listening to the radio interview as she drove to work and decided to give Terry Kraszewski of Whale Tails Tortilla Chips a call. Terry spoke with Ms Iller and explained that Whale Tails Tortilla Chips was established to encourage, facilitate, and administer sustainable funding for ocean conservation. Terry said, "our goal, through the sale of our tortilla chips, is to unify ocean conservation groups to help solve problems within the marine environment, and build cooperation and dialog at the same time. Whale Tails Tortilla Chips pledges a minimum of 10 percent to ocean conservation groups." Terry said, "we call this our ocean tax, believing our company has a responsibility to conserve and protect the natural resource that every living thing on the planet is completely linked to and dependent upon. Our environmental commitment as well as our unsurpassed quality has resulted in Whale Tails Tortilla Chips acceptance and the loyalty of our customers."

Adding Whale Tails Tortilla Chips is a perfect compliment to Albertsons already recognized role in environmental stewardship. Albertsons' Environmental Stewardship Council has long been committed to supporting programs that improve our environment while encouraging others to become more aware of what they can do to become better stewards of the environment. Of particular concern to both Albertsons and Whale Tails Tortilla Chips is the amount of plastic that ends up in our oceans. A United Nations environmental program report estimated that there are an average of 46,000 pieces of plastic debris floating on or near the surface of every square mile of ocean. Californians use more than 19 billion plastic grocery bags each year, creating 147,038 tons of waste in our landfills. With Californians throwing away over 600 bags per second, they are creating enough waste every year to circle the planet over 250 times. When you consider that this plastic does not biodegrade and remains in our ecosystems permanently, we are looking at an incredibly high volume of accumulated plastic trash. Where does it go? There are only three places it can go: our earth, our air and our oceans.

To promote community recycling and provide a solution Albertson's stores are listed on the Earth's 911 website (www. earths911.org) as a collection center for plastic bags. Albertsons has won the WRAP award five times. The WRAP awards are made by the California Integrated Waste Management Board -- the state's primary recycling agency. Albertson's, as a company, recycles 50 percent of its waste stream, including 4,363 tons of plastic grocery bags and pallet wrap at 744 sites in California. To close the plastics recycling loop, Albertson's purchases benches made of recycled plastic lumber for its new and remodeled stores.

Whale Tails Tortilla Chips and Albertsons are both participants in California's Coastal Cleanup Day, the premier volunteer event of the California Coastal Commission. Over the years, more than 700,000 volunteers have picked up over 11 million pounds of trash. Coastal Cleanup Day helps remind all Californians that our everyday actions have broad implications for the health and well‐being of our oceans and waterways. John Bernardo of Albertsons' Environmental Stewardship Council says, "waste is anything that is not an asset and nothing but lack of imagination." Over the past few years Albertson's has made it a priority to reduce waste and maximize resources, implementing energy-saving policies like dimming the lights in its stores and helping to develop a 100% recyclable container for shipping produces.

Now Albertsons would like to applaud Whale Tails Tortilla Chips for its commitment to marine conservation and lend their support by giving Albertsons' shoppers the opportunity to select this great tasting organic tortilla chip the next time they are in the snack aisle.

Even if you don't believe in global warming, or that humans are the cause, what's the downside in being kinder to the environment where you can? Albertsons and Whale Tails Tortilla Chips are making our choices easier and yes, even delicious. The choices each of us as consumers make can have a big impact on a brighter tomorrow for our oceans and our entire planet.

New Jersey Man with Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer Awarded $10 Million

New Jersey Man with Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer Awarded $10 Million

A New Jersey man suffering mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer of the lungs that is linked to asbestos exposure, was awarded $10 million in a verdict that was among the highest ever in a New Jersey asbestos case.

HAWTHORNE, N. J. (PRWEB) August 11, 2005

An eight-member Middlesex County jury awarded a Hawthorne man, suffering with asbestos-related lung cancer, $10 million on August 5. The verdict is among the highest ever for a New Jersey asbestos case.

William Rhodes, 68, and his wife, Doreen, were awarded $10 million as compensation for their pain and suffering caused by the cancer and as punitive damages against Universal Engineering of Montville. The company distributes heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment and supplies, as well as building-automation equipment.

Universal Engineering was allocated 84% responsibility for the $10 million verdict. When the Rhodes' lawsuit was filed last year, several defendants were named but were either dismissed from the case by a judge or settled. Three companies, A. W. Chesterton Co., Air Products and Chemicals and the Burnham Corp. reached out-of-court settlements in the case prior to the trial.

The jury deliberated for approximately five hours before reaching its verdict after a two-week trial before Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Edward Ryan.

The Rhodes were represented by Arnold Lakind from the law firm Szaferman, Lakind, Blumstein, Blader and Lehmann of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and Moshe Maimon of Levy, Phillips and Konigsberg, New York.

Rhodes was diagnosed with mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer of the lungs that is linked to asbestos exposure, two years ago. He retired in 2001 after a career spanning more than 40 years as a boiler repairman. As part of Rhodes' job, he used products containing asbestos to repair the boilers.

The jury found that Universal Engineering supplied most of the asbestos-containing products to the company in Bergen County where Rhodes worked for 30 years.

Asbestos use peaked in popularity around World War II, although it was first used in the United States in the late 1800s. During the 1960s and 1970s, health officials linked the inhalation of asbestos fibers to cancer and other disorders.

The Rhodes case was filed in Middlesex County because the county has been designated to handle special tort cases, including those from asbestos sufferers.

In May, 2005, a Senate committee approved long-stalled legislation to shield manufacturers and insurers from asbestos lawsuits. In exchange, people made ill by exposure to the substance once used in insulation and fireproofing material would have access to a $140 billion trust fund. Despite the Senate Judiciary Committee's action, lawmakers from both parties have lined up to make changes to the bill or kill it entirely when it reaches the full Senate.

Szaferman Lakind is a full-service law firm providing representation to a wide array of clients in such areas as litigation, personal injury, commercial and tax law, employment law, family law, land use development and real estate law. Based in Lawrenceville, Szaferman Lakind is one of the Mercer County's largest law firms and recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP is a nationally recognized trial, litigation and appellate firm well known for its leading role in the field of mass tort and product liability litigation and in developing and handling personal injury and discrimination actions for thousands of individual workers and consumers. The firm has done pioneering work in identifying and developing personal injury and property damage cases relating to asbestos.

Additional information is also available from Arnold Lakind at (609) 275-0400.
