Lindenhurst, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2014

While many experience the reverse of their gray hair back to its natural color, all is not lost for those who do not, because He Shou Wu provides anti-aging and longevity benefits for the whole body. It starts by nourishing the blood which in turn tonifies the liver and kidneys, which helps to reduce cholesterol levels. It fortifies the tendons, muscles and bones thereby strengthening the lower back and knees. He Shou Wu contains Zinc which holds antioxidant properties and immune system support. He Shou Wu has been known to provide healthy levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant. It also contains Iron which is why He Shou Wu is attributed to have many benefits for the blood and circulation.

He Shou Wu is a Jing (Essence) Tonic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that all health obstacles are caused by imbalances within our bodies. Problems can occur when an excess amount of moisture, heat, dryness, cold, toxins, phlegm or stagnation build up. This can cause an unbalanced or shortness of vital energies known as the three Treasures: Qi (Vitality), Shen (Spirit) and Jing (Essence). Good health is only achieved when the body is considered to be in perfect balance. He Shou Wu is a Jing Tonic widely known for helping to prevent premature aging. He Shou Wu is an extraordinary herb for the liver and kidneys, and fortifying the ligaments tendons and bones.

He Shou Wu as an Extract There are many companies out there selling He Shou Wu so it is important to know what to look for when buying He Shou Wu. First step is to examine the label and determine what the potency is of the He Shou Wu. A higher extract ratio means a stronger concentration. This is important to determine if the proper dosage is being provided. For example Natures Elements provides a 12:1 extract ratio of the He Shou Wu Root which means it is approximately 12 times stronger than a non extracted powder, similarly if compared to a 4:1 extract it would be 3 times stronger.

He Shou Wu Dosages The concentration is important when determining proper dosages. In order to reap the benefits of He Shou Wu a sufficient dosage needs to be consumed. This is where the benefit of an extract is useful. Natures Elements dosage is 1,000 mg of 12:1 extract of He Shou Wu which is contained in two small easy to swallow tablets. In order to get this dosage from a non extracted powder one would need to consume 3 or more tablets 3 times a day! Most people would find it difficult to keep up with such dosages throughout the day often leading to missed dosages and therefore little or no results. By keeping the dosage concentrated and in only one serving per day it is much easier maintain consistent usage.

Another element to consider when shopping for He Shou Wu is how long each bottle will last. It is easy to determine that with 2 tablets per day, 60 tablets will last for a full 30 day month. As compared to products that seem to be offering more because they contain 100 tablets. However if the serving size is 3 tablets 3 times a day a 100 tablet bottle will not even last for 2 weeks.

He Shou Wu Safety & Precautions Before starting any dietary regiment one should always consult with a qualified health care professional. He Shou Wu is generally considered to be a safe herb, but should not be used by anyone with illness, liver or kidney problems, frequent use of alcohol or taking any medications as well as pregnant or lactating women.

Comets come up short in overtime this time

Posted on by

UTICA The Utica Comets forced their third straight game to overtime, but failed to extend their winning streak to five AHL games as they dropped a 3-2 shootout at the Utica Memorial Auditorium against the Lake Erie Monsters on Tuesday night.

Utica forward Benn Ferriero improved his scoring streak to nine games with a goal and an assist, while Patrick Mullen also lit the lamp for the Comets. Reigning AHL player of the week goalie Joacim Eriksson turned aside 34 of 36 shots as he earned his team a point for the eighth time in his past nine starts.

The Comets skated out to a 2-1 first period lead before being held scoreless over the next two periods and came up short in overtime.

Utica got off on the right foot as they struck first for the 19th time this season. Mullen made his return to the lineup known in a big way, as he buried a Ferriero feed at the back post for a power-play goal at the 10:40 mark of the first. Cal OReilly also picked up a helper on the play.

Lake Erie answered exactly one minute later as Mark Olver scored his tenth goal of the season. Forward Andrew Agozzino picked up the lone assist on the play, his 18th helper of the season.

The Comets regained the lead at the 14:44 mark of the period, as Ferriero redirected home a Peter Andersson shot from the point to make it 2-1. Ferrieros goal gives him six goals over his past six games, while Andersson now has points in four of his last five. Alex Biega picked up the secondary assist, his tenth point of the season.

Utica remains undefeated in regulation when they lead after the first period, moving to 6-0-1-3 in those situations. The Comets grabbed 1-0 and 4-3 overtime victories over Abbotsford last weekend, but could not secure their third straight overtime win.

The Comets host the Syracuse Crunch on Friday night at the Auditorium in Pink The Rink Night in support of breast cancer awareness. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

The game is sold out.

Super Bowl: Nate Silver picks Seahawks, Madden 25 has Broncos

The predictions are starting to trickle in, but so far the most interesting arent from NFL media, such as sportswriters or TV analysts.

In fact, one comes from a self-described nerd, and three others arent from people at all. Theyre from computers and video games.

Nate Silver, the numbers-crunching nerd, favors Seattle. That sounds like good news for Seahawks fans, since Silver became famous for predictions about the presidential election. Silver, whose Five-Thirty-Eight blog has moved to ESPN.com, doesnt sound nearly as certain about the Super Bowl. His luke-warm prediction came Wednesday night 0n The Colbert Report.

He went on to say the game is a toss-up but hes sticking with the Seahawks because he picked them to start the season. He didnt guess the score.

Two video games Madden 25 and Tecmo Super Bowl both gave the Broncos narrow victories in overtime. Madden said Denver would win by three on a field goal, and Techmo thought it would be on a safety.

Dont fold, spindle or mutiliate those computer-game predictions just yet, though. A computer model, Machines Predictalator, ran 50,000 simulations, and the score that came up most often was 24-21, Seattle. The Seahawks won 54.2 percent of the time.

Here are links to each prediction and YouTube video of the Madden 25 highlights. Stay tuned for more predictions and comments in the days leading up to the game.

Madden 25 video game

The Denver Broncos will win 31-28 in overtime. according to EA Sports Madden 25 video game. Denver will win it on a 48-yard field goal by kicker Matt Prater.

Stanford stem cell genomics center funded

Posted on by

California's stem cell agency granted $40 million Wednesday to study how the use of stem cells for therapy is affected by variations in the human genome.

The Center of Excellence for Stem Cell Genomics will be located at Stanford University. Competing proposals, including one by DNA sequencing giant Illumina and The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, were rejected by the California Institution for Regenerative Medicine.

Backers of the San Diego proposal said CIRM staff reviews of the proposals contained errors, such as including financial considerations when scientific merit was supposed to be the sole consideration. Stanford's proposal was highest-rated in the reviews.

The Stanford proposal earned praise from reviewers for the breadth of its research initiatives, from basic research to disease applications, along with the deep expertise of its scientists. Reviewers also liked the affiliated data management center, which will be located at UC Santa Cruz.

A number of San Diego research institutions will collaborate with Stanford's center. While the center itself will be placed at Stanford, the Salk Institute will participate as a joint principal investigator. The Scripps Research Institute and Illumina will also contribute, along with UC San Diego,and the J. Craig Venter Institute.

The Stanford proposal treats Illumina like a contractor, which doesnt make the best use of its abilities, said Scripps Research stem cell scientist Jeanne Loring, who attended the meeting. She submitted letters to the board from herself and Illumina explaining the project's benefits.

I was trying to tap into Illuminas intellectual power, which is often overlooked because they make most of their money by selling instruments and providing services, Loring said. But the people Id be working with are the ones who invented these technologies.

Illumina would benefit as a business by creating new markets, Loring said. For example, a test that tells whether stem cells have potentially dangerous mutations would be highly sought after.

Illumina pledged in a letter to CIRM that any products it sells under the agreement would be accessible, both in price and support.

Loring said she hopes the Scripps/Illumina proposal can still be funded, but there is no obvious alternative.

Newswise Scientists from UCLAs Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have received new awards from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state stem cell research agency, that will forward revolutionary stem cell science in medicine.

Recipients included Dr. Lili Yang, assistant professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics who received $614,400 for her project to develop a novel system for studying how stem cells become rare immune cells; Dr. Denis Evseenko, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery, who received $1,146,468 for his project to identify the elements of the biological niche in which stem cells grow most efficiently into articular cartilage cells; Dr. Thomas Otis, professor and chair of neurobiology and Dr. Ben Novitch, assistant professor of neurobiology, who received $1,148,758 for their project using new light-based optigenetic techniques to study the communication between nerve and muscle cells in spinal muscular atrophy, an inherited degenerative neuromuscular disease in children; and Dr. Samantha Butler, assistant professor of neurobiology, received $598,367 for her project on discovering which molecular elements drive stem cells to become the neurons, or nerve cells, in charge of our sense of touch.

These basic biology grants form the foundation of the revolutionary advances we are seeing in stem cell science, said Dr. Owen Witte, professor and director of the Broad Stem Cell Research Center, and every cellular therapy that reaches patients must begin in the laboratory with ideas and experiments that will lead us to revolutionize medicine and ultimately improve human life. That makes these awards invaluable to our research effort.

The awards were part of CIRMs Basic Biology V grant program, carrying on the initiative to foster cutting-edge research on significant unresolved issues in human stem cell biology. The emphasis of this research is on unravelling the secrets of key mechanisms that determine how stem cells, which can become any cell in the body, differentiate, or decide which cell they become. By learning how these mechanisms work, scientists can then create therapies that drive the stem cells to regenerate or replace damaged or diseased tissue.

Using A New Method to Track Special Immune Cells All the different cells that make up the blood come from hematopoietic or blood stem cells. These include special white blood cells called T cells, which serve as the foot soldiers of the immune system, attacking bacteria, viruses and other invaders that cause diseases.

Among the T cells is a smaller group of cells called invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, which have a remarkable capacity to mount immediate and powerful responses to disease when activated, a small special forces unit among the foot soldiers, and are believed to be important to immune system regulation of infections, allergies, cancer and autoimmune diseases such as Type I diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

The iNKT cells develop in small numbers in the blood, usually less than 1 percent of all the blood cells, and can differ greatly in numbers between individuals. Very little is known about how the blood stem cells produce iNKT cells.

Dr. Lili Yangs project will develop a novel model system to genetically program human blood stem cells to become iNKT cells. Dr. Yang and her colleagues will track the differentiation of human blood stem cells into iNKT cells providing a pathway to answer many critical questions about iNKT cell development.
