New Study Shows Magnesium Effective for Hot Flashes in Menopause

A study from the Virginia University Health System has discovered that magnesium supplements can reduce hot flash frequency in women from 52 to 28 per week -- a 41% reduction

Glendale, CA, July 09, 2014 - The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) reports that an estimated 6,000 US women reach menopause each day, which translates to over 2 million women every year. The average age of natural menopause, which is the point of a woman's last menstrual period, is 51. The Women's Health Initiative study, which followed 16,608 women being given hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms, discovered a high risk of breast cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke from the use of these drugs.

As a result, more and more women today are seeking the use of natural remedies for menopause discomforts such as hot flashes, night sweats, migraine headaches, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia.

Mineral supplements such as magnesium and calcium have been found to be natural remedies for hot flashes and night sweats. One recent example is a study from the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. Women with at least 14 hot flashes a week, received 400 milligrams of magnesium oxide for 4 weeks, increasing to 800 milligrams per day if needed. At the end of the study, the magnesium supplements had reduced their frequency of hot flashes from 52 to 28 per week, which is a a 414% reduction. Fatigue, sweating, and distress were also significantly reduced.

The 29 participants in the study were breast cancer survivors, thus they were unable to take the usual hot flash medications that have estrogenic activity such as hormone replacement drugs or soy supplements. Many women, breast cancer survivors or not, prefer to take a non estrogen-active natural remedy for hot flashes and night sweats, and the researchers in the study concluded that magnesium appears to safely reduce hot flashes with few side effects and at minimal cost.

Magnesium has also been found to help other health conditions. According to Dr. Michael T. Murray, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, “In addition to helping with hot flashes, correction of low magnesium status may have additional health benefits. Magnesium deficiency is extremely common in Americans, and in addition to the well-known association between low magnesium and increased risk for cardiovascular disease, low magnesium levels have also been linked to an increase in Alzheimer’s disease, decreased muscle performance, insulin-resistance, and osteoporosis.”

One natural sleep aid that is beneficial for hot flashes and night sweats and is increasing in popularity among women in menopause is Sleep Minerals II from http://www.NutritionBreakthroughs.com. This natural sleep aid contains highly absorbable forms of calcium and magnesium, the best minerals for sleeplessness and insomnia, as well as for heart health, restless legs syndrome, bone strength, teenage insomnia and menopause insomnia. The formula also includes vitamin D and zinc and is delivered in a softgel form with healthy carrier oils, making it more quickly and fully assimilated than tablets or capsules and providing a deeper, longer-lasting sleep.

Anita L. of New Caney, Texas says: “I was having hot flashes every 30 minutes to an hour through the night and was so miserable. After about two weeks of taking the Sleep Minerals, I noticed an incredible difference with my sleep. I have much less interruption from flashes, I’m sleeping much better and I’m a lot more comfortable."

Valerie H. of Santa Clarita, California says: “I had such severe menopause insomnia it took me hours to fall asleep even though I was extremely tired. My legs also had crawling and tingling feelings at night. I got the Sleep Minerals and after several days, it started to work really well. I fall asleep now within 20 minutes and no more restless legs."

Natural menopause remedies are a healthier option for women with hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia. For more information on Sleep Minerals II visit http://www.nutritionbreakthroughs.com/html/sleep_remedy_for_insomnia_help.html

Waldorf Publishing is Excited to be Releasing the New Book "Inside the Godfather"

Waldorf Publishing is excited to be releasing the new book “Inside the Godfather”, Never Before Told Stories of James Brown by His Inner Circle. Written by: Daryl Brown, the son of James Brown and Michael P. Chabries. If you think you know the soul truth about James Brown, think again!

Grapevine, Texas, July 08, 2014 - “Inside the Godfather” is a history changing book, but most importantly Daryl Brown will set the record straight about his dad, James Brown, The Godfather of Soul! Stories that have NEVER been told such as: Did you know that James Brown, The Godfather of Soul was offered over ten million dollars to convert to a certain religion?

Daryl Brown believes that his dad…James Brown, his brother-in-law and his older brother Teddy were murdered.

Despite what Mick Jagger and the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe – James Brown never discharged a weapon during the insurance seminar prior to James Brown’s arrest ending him up in prison. Primary concern of James Brown was that he was being robbed.

Michael Jackson returned from exile in Bahrain to “play” with the body of James Brown while he was in the casket in a room at The Apollo, left alone for over 2 hours.

Susie Brown did not abandon James Brown as the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe. The relationship turned deadly with a murder attempt. Leaving the child was the only way to preserve both lives.

Black police officer Donald Danner believes James Brown was shot at by white police officers because of the color of his skin. 23 shots fired at the truck. Two shots hit the gas-tank in an effort to “lawfully” murder James Brown.

Tomi Rae was stopped by police for being married to a black monkey and the police told her they were going to kill James Brown. Overt racism and threat of “disappearing” or murder was a challenge for both Tomi Rae and Adrienne “James Brown’s 2 wives.”

The Inner Circle will include but not limited to: the Mistress, the Limo Driver, the Widow, the Bodyguard, Band Members, Personal Physician, an Arresting Officer and many more!

The book will be available August 1st, 2014 as a paperback, eBook and Audio book and will feature unique photos, some of which have never been seen. Pre-order your copy now!

We have partnered with VH1, Save The Music Foundation and The Fender Music Foundation and will be donating 5% of book proceeds to both Foundations.

The book will be released simultaneously with the Universal Studios biographical film “Get on Up” produced by Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer to be released in theatres on August 1st 2014.

In Daryl Brown’s own words: “How can Universal Studios distribute a movie about my dad without even talking to those that were closet to my dad including me?”

James Brown, The Godfather of Soul may be the most misunderstood man in the last century. His contributions toward modern music pale in comparison to the role he played in modern history. Brown lifted all races toward the ideals of equality and opportunity. Tragically, while he had the ability to calm the storms of social turmoil - his personal life was a perpetual tempest; sex, drugs, rhythm & blues.

Inside the Godfather brings together, for the first time, Brown’s inner circle. They will correct the distortions of the past and provide the reader a clear understanding of the brilliance and generosity that was James Brown. This book will have you question your assumptions about politics, religion, sports, money and the entire entertainment industry. You will see inside the man. You will never be the same.

The name, James Brown is an international Brand. His music is still being sold in over 110 countries. His face is certainly one of the most recognizable in the world. He is loved and adored by millions, but how many people really knew him?

Two hundred years from now when they mention James Brown, The Godfather of Soul, they will use this book to understand the person, the mind, the genius of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Waldorf Publishing: Was launched in 2013 by Barbara Terry. Barbara is a marketing and media expert with extensive experience in the Entertainment Industry. The first book published was by NASCAR great, Kenny Wallace.

What Investment Bankers Can do for You

When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 - When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life. With so many moving parts involved and so much at stake, it is important for an owner to have someone on their side who can guide the sale in the right direction. That someone would be an investment banker.

Bringing to the table experience, a network of contacts and knowledge of the market, an investment banker is essential to these types of deals being executed successfully.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, experts Roger Strode of Foley & Lardner, LLP, Blayne Rush, President of Ambulatory Alliances, LLC, Kyle Bohannon, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Development at FastMed Urgent Care, and Kevin Ryan of Epstein, Becker and Green weigh in on the matter.

“[Investment bankers] will help you understand your business as the investor sees it and work with you to be prepared to tell your story and explain any risks,” explained Rush. “When buyers or investors believe that you are prepared and understand your business, they are more likely to take you seriously, believe what you are telling them and increase the purchase price and improve the terms they offer.”

Pain Management In-Office Procedures Decline with Reimbursement Rates

The proper business management of an Pain Management Center will be the key to success going forward, according to industry professionals.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 - In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Dr. Rudi Gari of Texas Pain Relief Group weighs in on the matter, noting that physician-owners of Pain Management Centers need to keep the business side of their practice in mind, even if it doesn’t come second nature.

“Physicians are typically not the best business people,” Gari said. “You may be the best doctor the world has ever known, but if you don’t know how to manage your finances and manage your office, you’re not going to have an office to practice in.”

This emphasis on business is a result of declining reimbursement rates, according to Dr. Al Liceaga, Medical Director of Orangewood Surgical Center and Regional Pain Treatment Medical Center.

“ASCs reimbursement for procedures are often paid on only one CPT code and global fees now limit payment and reduce access to care by not allowing reimbursement for certain procedures within the global time period,” he said. “Reimbursement for hardware and implants has dramatically changed also. The majority of implants are now inclusive of the global fee.”

These changes in reimbursement rates had a noticeable impact on in-office procedures, with higher costs causing a reduction in such procedures.
