Top 5 Anti-Aging Serums to Make You Look Younger & More Radiant



Ask any dermatologist about what question is most frequently put by females close to 30 and all of them are likely to have a unanimous reply viz. suggestions or products to avert ageing. Obviously, no woman will wish to spot facial lines or furrows on her face.

Most females favour moisturisers or creams to minimize the indications of ageing, however such products take long to demonstrate results and furthermore don’t match all skin types. Choose serums that are more potent as compared to creams. These get absorbed in the skin rapidly and improvement can be observed in a quick duration of time. 

A couple of the finest anti-aging serums that women might consider utilising are:

1. Obagi Professional-C Serum:

The chief element of this fluid is Vitamin C, which is shown to be extremely effectual in lessening wrinkles, discoloration. It’s offered in four strengths in order to match various skin types. In addition, the product even functions as an anti-oxidant and offers defence from free radicals, which can give rise to early the signs of aging.

2. Chanel Precision Hydramax Active Serum:

Like the name implies, this Chanel emulsion immediately hydrates your skin. Hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient that boosts skin suppleness and facial softness, thus making the skin appear rejuvenated and youthful. Females can easily use foundation, primer or sunscreen post application.

3. Extreme Face Lift by Kinerase:

As this is a beneficial product that evens out creases, females troubled with ageing issues will get firmer skin on using this serum. It also works successfully on problem areas, for example frown lines and forehead furrows, providing you with a glowing look. Kinerase is normally employed in the morning after cleaning the face. You can use it beneath make-up too.

4. Garnier Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum:

A fitting skin solution for women having combination skin in which some parts of the face are dry whereas the central regions that usually comprise of the nose, chin and forehead is greasy. This fluid doesn’t have an oily effect. It assists in tightening the skin and also causes a decrease in break-outs. A vital tip to bear in mind is to utilise an effective sunblock each day of the year.

5. Caudalie Pulpe Vitamine Anti-Wrinkle Fluid:

This beauty formulation possessing anti-aging benefits is apt for all skin kinds. This is a vitamin loaded mixture filled with organic substances like ginseng and grape seed extract that helps to reduce facial creases, combats symptoms of tiredness, enhances skin elasticity and imparts a radiant, soft and silky look that continues throughout the day and keeps the skin refreshed.

Apart from these serums, skin specialists also recommend Renova Retin A to deal with fine lines. Basically a retinoid, Renova Retin A minimizes the size of the pores, aids to avert development of whiteheads or blackheads and reduces the presence of wrinkles.

It is best to have a talk with the dermatologist who is capable of ascertaining the ideal anti-aging therapy for your skin type so as to knock years off your face.

This World AIDS Day Some Good News


The 2011 World AIDS Day report has given us at least a little something to celebrate on this year’s World AIDS Day. Worldwide initiatives to stop new HIV infections, reduce the discrimination related to AIDS and lower the AIDS related deaths statistics have truly made an impact. We hope to carry this success forward in the coming years and we hope to beat this deadly disease and uproot its existence.

Some Success Parameters:

Between the years 1997 and 2010, there has been a 21 percent drop in annual new AIDS infections.

There is a phenomenal 250 percent rise in people living with or rather, despite AIDS in Europe and Africa between 2001 and 2010.

While regions such as the sub-Saharan Africa had a serious lack of anti-retroviral coverage, the good news is that this coverage has improved by 20 percent between 2009 and 2010.

There has been a successful decline in AIDS related deaths, from about 2.5 million in the mid 2000s to about 1.9 million in 2010.

Some of these successful AIDS statistics are a result of a great deal of hard work, some great Government efforts and the effects of certain things such as availability of anti-retroviral drugs, awareness campaigns, etc.

Generic Medications

One of the main causes of AIDS related deaths was the serious lack of AIDS medications a few decades ago. A lot of good medicines are available today however and now the shift has changed from non-availability of AIDS medications to the availability of AIDS medicines at really high prices. A lot of AIDS patients and their families are now giving up on themselves simply because the medicines they require to stay healthy are way beyond the reach of their pockets. This, by all means, is much worse than not having the medicines at all.


Generic anti-retroviral drugs are the perfect solution to this problem and they happen to be one of the main reasons for all the good AIDS statistics that we are seeing today. Generic AIDS medications often cost less then half the cost of their branded counterparts. They are also equally effective and just as easily available to all, in all countries. What this does is that AIDS medications become available to everyone, even people from low income household. With access to good quality and effective generic medications, it is not wonder that AIDS related deaths are on a fall today.


Several potent AIDS drugs are ending their patents in 2013. Immediately after this happens other pharmaceutical manufacturers are expected to start producing them too. Come 2013, it seems there will be even better news in the form of many more AIDS drugs being available in their low cost generic versions across the globe. AIDS BEWARE! Generics are coming for you!


So, when did you say you were making over that switch to generics? Your decision can spread and change the world you know! It is time you started the change for a change, rather than just being a part of it. Say yes to generics, say yes to saving more  lives!

What are the Causes of High Blood Pressure

Hypertension, also commonly known as high blood pressure, is the amount of force applied against the walls of the arteries as blood flows through them. High blood pressure means that the walls of the arteries are receiving too much pressure repeatedly. The pressure needs to be periodically high over time duration for a diagnosis of hypertension to be confirmed. 


According to one data of National Heart & Blood Institute (United States) in America itself, there are more than 75 million people currently suffering from High Blood Pressure, i.e. about one in every third adult alive. The National Health Service (United kingdom) states that about 40% of all the British adults have Hypertension.

Diseases like heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, etc. happen due to "problems related to blood pressure".


Here’s the video explaining what hypertension is and how it affects the body.


High blood pressure affects nearly everyone and typically, it develops in phases over many years. 

The good news is that unlike other disease like Cancer or Aids, Hypertension is detected easily. And once you know that you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it. 

There are many medicines available in market to Control High Blood Pressure


But along with medicines one is advised to follow the following things to control your Hypertension.

Steps to Reduce Hypertension

Step 1: Eat Less Sodium & Salty Food
Consume less sodium, which contributes to hypertension. It's not enough to just put away the saltshaker, check food labels as well. Many prepared foods, like canned soup and frozen meals, are loaded with sodium.

Step 2: Eat Potassium-Rich Foods
Eat more baked potatoes, with the skin, plus other potassium-rich foods like acorn squash, bananas, orange juice and halibut. Dozens of studies prove that a potassium-rich diet helps combat the blood pressure-raising damage caused by a high sodium diet.

Step 3: Drink Red Wine
Drink one glass of red wine every day, but limit yourself to just one glass.

Step 4: Lose Weight
Lose weight if you need to. Obesity has been linked to hypertension. Track your steps with a pedometer. People, who use them walk up to 2,000 steps or more, can reduce their weight and thus their blood pressure.

Step 5: Get a Pet
Get a pet. Not only does having one lower blood pressure, petting them has been shown to increase levels of the feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin in their owners.

Step 6: Eat Chocolate
Eat some chocolate every day. The trick is to keep the portion small, say, bite-size, and make sure you're munching dark chocolate made mostly from cocoa solids. It should taste a little bitter.

Step 7: Become a Hugger
You should become more touchy-freely. Research indicates that people who hug and hold hands are calmer.

Step 8: Start Praying
Start praying. One study found that people who attend weekly religious services have lower blood pressure than those who don't attend any at all.

Did You Know?
By 2025, 1.6 billion people worldwide are expected to have high blood pressure.

Some Other Interesting ED Cures


Man’s Inventive Viagra's In The Times Gone By (Part 2) (part1)

Erection cure in Dark ages
It is no surprise that in the Dark Ages, almost every problem was blamed on Satan (Devil) but there was also a theory floating around that it was actually the demons that were responsible for ED. Hundreds of years later, it was claimed that ED was caused due to witch spells and the cure for this was to find the witch that cast the spell and to persecute her. Ignorance thy name is Man… err… in this case ‘was’, I guess!

While the 1600s saw the ED cure to be a woman’s hand (wink!) it was only near the end of the century that science had dawned on the subject with the knowledge that ED was actually caused due to the lack of blood supply in the penile arteries that supplied blood to the penile region. 1873 saw researchers study and arrive at the first ED treating surgical treatment that was used to block the veins that drained the penis of its blood.


20th Century from Russia with Love Cure
Erectile cure from russia
The early part of the 20th Century saw science lose its way a little when a doctor from Russia made the claim that transplanting testicle tissues from monkeys into humans would cure ED. One cannot even imagine the unthinkable experiments that then took place on ED suffering patients

But thankfully in 1935, Netherland researchers isolated the male ‘testosterone’ hormone, which once again brought ED related science back on track.

Then there was the rise and fall of ‘penile implants’. Once scientists observed that several animals had bones or cartilage inside their penis, similar implants or grafts were tried on the penis of men. As these disintegrated quickly in the body, synthetic implants were also tried, which caused a lot of pain to patients due to their hardness. The later versions of the same involved implants that could be filled with air through a pump and though these are still quite popular today, there are several risks including the surgical risks that can be associated with it.

Research by Accidents  


Air Pump to cure Erectile dysfunction
A minister in the 1970s, with a secondary business entailing tire repairs, found out that attaching a cylinder with a tire pump created negative pressure. He also experimented with this negative pressure when he placed the cylinder over his penis and voila, he got himself a pump up erection! The FDA later gave an approval to penis pump systems that are still in use today and they work fantastically on people who can forgo spontaneity for a 30 minute long erection.
In the 1980’s a French scientist accidentally introduced penile injections as a cure to ED, when he injected papaverine (a drug that clears up blood vessels) into the penis of a patient to get an instantaneous erection. Later in 1983, a researcher from Britain injected a same compound inside his own penis just to prove that it could treat ED and thus intracavernosal injection came forth as an ED treatment.


Cialis (Viagra)
In 1994 the greatest of accidents occurred, an accident that all of mankind is thankful for! Researchers concluded that the drug that was being studies for its angina treatment effects, sildenafil, also resulted in erections! It was in 1998 when Viagra met its FDA approval and this paved the way for the development of other ED meds such as Levitra and Cialis. It was a freak coincidence that proved to be a boon for Viagra manufacturers that just half a decade after oral ED meds became available in the market, ED diagnoses in patients has increase 250 fold. At any one point in time even today, millions men around the world suffer from ED and each and every one of them is indeed thankful that Viagra has evolved over all these years and they now have a sure shot cure in this century!

Life before the invention of blue pill - Viagra


Man’s Inventive Viagra's In The Times Gone By (Part 1)

The dark age
From the times of the dark ages, man has agonized over the problem of sexual malfunctioning. Yet, the inventive man always had their own Viagra versions all through those eras to treat their sexual problems. Here’s a look at some of the wackiest, weirdest, most un-f***ing believable Viagra equivalents.Before a tiny blue pill came along to answer all of mankind’s prayers, men relied on several erectile dysfunctions cures, some of which dated as back as 2500BC. Yes, even then, when mankind did not have economic crises, food shortage and corruption to deal with, man was concerned over his sexual poweress and thought of ingenious ways to treat erectile dysfunction.

It must be heartening for the 30 million Americans who are suffering from erectile dysfunction at any single point in time (National Institute of Health) to note that even men from the 2500BC era suffered from the same and they did not even have the advantage of just going to Verticalpharmacy and getting a little blue pill for the same. Yes, there have been times when there were no health care professionals to write a neat little Viagra prescription out to trouble patients and this is the story of those times. The paragraphs given below list of the wild cures for ED in those times, and indeed the even wilder theories that stated its causes.

The Yin Yang Theory of the 25th Century BC

ying- yang theory of hot and cold
Chinese philosophy of the yin and yang forces was used to explain the occurrence of ED in people over 60 years of age. It was believed that at such ages, men ran out of the positive yin force and hence did not possess adequate sexual energy. A potion of around 22 exotic ingredients is said to have helped an emperor in those times bed over 1200 women. Acupuncture, wherein tiny needles were used to balance the body’s energy streams, was also practiced to cure ED in those times, and yet, so many years later, it is still in use in some parts of America and China.

Egyptian Cures in the 16th Century BC
The Egyptians had their own theories about ED, some of them being that it was caused to the curse of evil spirits. Their fantastical remedies ranged from applying a concoction of ground crocodile hearts on the man’s penis. Blue and white lotus flowers were also used in those times, for the treatment of ED and it is today that we are exploring their active ingredient apomorphine and its miraculous impact in ED.

The Goddess of Love Theories of the 3rd Century BC

The Greek goddess helps to overcome ed
The Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, was often invoked to give aphrodisiacs to ED ailing patients in the 3rd Century BC and urged to provide the patients with aphrodisiacs to help overcome their Ed problems. The famous philosopher of those times, Aristotle, extracted this aphrodisiac from dried Spanish flies (types of beetles). Though this miracle cure seemed to have worked for centuries, today science has proven otherwise, stating beetles to be ineffective in curing ED and also that they are toxic for consumption. Yet, in the 3rd Century BC, there are several tales of the Tiberius’s (Roman emperor) wife sneaking in these aphrodisiacs in meals so as to catch family members in the act of sexual transgressions and then later blackmail them!


Ancient Mayan Cures of the 1st Millennium BC
Ancient Mayan flower used to treat ed
If you have ever noticed or even glanced at ancient Mayan art for that matter, you cannot have missed their standout ‘jaguar god’ and the surrounding priests. The flowers in the priest’s headpieces, which were later research to belong to the Egyptian lotus flower genus ‘Nymphaea’, were not just used in ceremonies and festivals but were also used to treat ED.

FDA Reports Shortage of Cancer med Methotrexate in USA


Methotrexate, a very vital cancer medication that is prescribed to cancer patients that suffer from some serious cancers such as actute lymphoblastic leukemia or ALL, is facing a supply shortage currently in the United States. This essential medication (also known by the Rheumatrex and Trexall brands) is prescribed to cure many other illnesses such as other cancers, lupus, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. 





Its power to control the uncontrolled growth of unneeded cells, such as cancer cells, is unparalleled and Methotrexate is often used as a last resort medication after most other medications have been tried. So, one can imagine what the shortage of this essential medication can do to patients that really require it.

The reasons for this supply shortage are many but one main incident acted as the trigger. Ben Venue Laboratories in Ohio, one of the leading Methotrexate manufacturers, was forced to shut down its production as they failed one of the FDA’s critical compliance tests. The closure of Ben Venue as the major manufacturer of Methotrexate has caused this severe supply shortage, as other manufacturers are not equipped to handle the additional excess demand for this medication. Though the FDA has taken several steps to check this crisis by allowing for imports of Methotrexate and allowing other local manufacturers to produce it, it will be quite a while before these steps translate into an actual supply of this medication to the general public.

News reports across the United States show the situation to have gone from bad to worse now that there are bleak reports of hospitals as well as cancer specialists joining the cry of insufficient stock availability while treating cancer patients. While there are some alternative medicines to Methotrexate, doctors agree that none of them are quite as effective. Many doctors across the country had to change their patient’s prescriptions to cancer medicines that are hardly as effective as Methotrexate, simply because the patients are not able to buy their usual dosages. This simple medicine scarcity can easily turn into a nightmare if something is not done soon.

The United States government and government agencies have acknowledged the gravity of this situation and are taking various steps to increase the supply of Methotrexate in the economy. Numerous suppliers outside the United States are helping by supplying the necessary medication quantities but they are obviously not enough.

Vertical Pharmacy is one such pharmacy that has taken up this initiative of helping people tide through this difficult time. Vertical Pharmacy, a pharmacy that is always taking up social causes, is now giving free 20ml (150 - 300mg) Methotrexate to all patients that have a valid prescription for it. This provision is completely free and all you have to do is send in your details along with your prescription and the Methotrexate will immediately be dispatched.



Vertical Pharmacy is definitely doing a wonderful job by helping the people who are really struggling due to the scarcity of this vital medication.
