I have NEVER, EVER, in all my days, been treated so poorly ! When you inquire about services and by doing so are accused of being "rude on the phone" by the receptionist (Unknown name) and masseuse (MICHELE), who in turn personally REFUSES you service and TELLS YOU TO LEAVE,...you know you are either having a very bad dream or there is something terribly wrong with this picture. Who is allowed to conduct themselves toward customers in such a manor and still remain employed to talk about it? Apparently Studio Expo employees that's who! The owner leaves no way of contact for customer complaints but this is one customer who isn't going away quietly! If I could leave the rating lower than a single star for Studio Expo, I certainly would! ...read more

Benefits of Colon Cleansingby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMPublished on June 30, 2015, Last Updated on January 18, 2016With additives in our food, pesticides on our crops, and pollution all around us, many might say we live in a toxic age. Sometimes all that toxic buildup can take its toll on the colon, which encumbers digestion and overall health. When your colon is backed up with toxic material, your entire body becomes sluggish and unable to perform its day-to-day tasks. Luckily, your body does a pretty good job detoxifying itself on a regular basis; however, some toxins remain in the body and require some help to facilitate removal.5 Benefits of Colon CleansingHelping your body detoxify itself isn’t too difficult when you stop and think about it. Eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise are two powerful components. But sometimes we need a bit more when it comes to toxins, many of which can easily store themselves in the colon. So, if you think you need a colon cleanse, or you just want to look into the idea, don’t put it off. Here are 5 great benefits of colon cleansing you should know.1. Improves Digestion and Prevents ConstipationConstipation can make for poor digestion, and vice versa. When digestion is impaired and constipation ensues, waste products can linger in your body. This whole process can lead to the inability to absorb many of the nutrients you’re taking in, leading to a lack of energy and and hampered immune function. Detoxing your colon allows those undigested waste products to be pushed through your system and also puts some ease in your bowel regularity. Since lingering waste can breed bacteria, this purge clears the way for good nutrient absorption, thereby supporting good health.2. Increases Energy and ConcentrationPurging toxins from your colon allows energy from the intestines to place focus elsewhere, meaning your energy levels could improve. Nutrition is very important to mental health, and the weak vitamin absorption before your colon cleanse may lead to loss of concentration. In addition to you having more energy, absorption of crucial vitamins responsible for mental clarity is improved, meaning your concentration may also be supported.3. Jumpstarts Weight LossLow-fiber choices are often the result of a poor diet. These foods are terrible for digestion, and typically hinder the body’s ability to register the feeling of fullness. [1] It’s very challenging to relieve yourself of low-fiber foods compared with high-fiber options, and these foods will often linger much longer in the gut. When you cleanse the colon, this matter is flushed from the system, and, in some, may lead to significant weight loss that stays off. But if you’re looking to lose weight, one study suggests that simply increasing fiber intake can also help you shed unwanted pounds. [2]4. Supports Overall Colon HealthAll the toxins you take into your body will eventually end up being processed, making it to the colon. By not cleansing your colon (and liver), these poisons can linger in the body, causing untold damage. By ridding the body of the waste, you support the many functions of your colon, including digestion and proliferation of beneficial gut flora.5. Encourages Whole Body DetoxAs previously mentioned, your body is extremely intelligent in that it is constantly detoxifying itself every day. But sometimes, in combination with environmental factors and poor lifestyle habits, it’s hard to catch up, and your body may begin showing signs of colon toxic overload. An oxygen-based cleanser may be helpful for encouraging colon–as well as whole body–detoxification by releasing oxygen in the system. Oxygen is very important for facilitating removal of toxins, as is drinking plenty of clean, fresh water.Something to Keep in MindIf you find yourself feeling sluggish, detoxifying your colon might be just the thing you need. Be sure to research extensively before doing a colon cleanse, and always talk to your doctor to find the best solution for you. While most cleanses can be performed by virtually anyone, you need to listen to your body and do what’s right for you, keeping your past or current health history in mind, prior to making a lifestyle change.Have you ever tried a colon cleanse or thought about doing one?

From ancient times, the pomegranate fruit has been regarded as a symbol of medicine, healing, and longevity. The peels were boiled in water to yield an elixir that could cure mouth sores and ease upset stomach or diarrhea. The juice, as well as the whole arils (the juice-encapsulated seeds), were employed as a practical cure-all. The blood-red color reminded the intuitive human of the life-substance itself, and thus gave rise to conceptions of pomegranate juice as something that could extend life and prevent its dissolution. Babylonian soldiers were known to chew the arils prior to battle in order to confer invulnerability. Modern science has gone a long way to re-affirming the health benefits of pomegranate fruit. In one of our own studies published 1999, we demonstrated that pomegranate juice, specifically fermented pomegranate juice (which is more biologically active than fresh juice), had the power to absorb free radicals and to prevent oxidation. This is extremely important in maintaining health and preventing disease, and our first work showing this activity has been followed by dozens more in the past nine years. Pomegranate is now generally credited with providing one of the most potent mixtures of antioxidant compounds of any easily obtainable fruit. One class of antioxidants found in the pomegranate is the broad range of estrogens. These compounds can stimulate the human estrogen receptors that are involved with maintaining health of the bones, blood vessels and nervous tissue, and relieving symptoms of menopause. The estrogenic compounds are found throughout the pomegranate, including the juice, peel, seeds, and even in the leaves and flowers. In fact, there are probably more reported estrogenic compounds in pomegranate than in any other plant. The use of pomegranates for treating menopausal symptoms and deficits remains an active and vital area of investigation. The antioxidant action of the juice, as well as its ability to interrupt inflammation, has led to its modern use in the treatment and prevention of many diseases. Most notable are the cardiovascular maladies like stroke and heart attack, often the result of clogging of the arteries due to excessive fat deposits. In an elegant series of experiments by Dr. Michael Aviram and his colleagues, regular pomegranate juice consumption has been shown by to interrupt the process of atherosclerosis and to result in an increased intra-luminal diameter of the carotid artery by more than 30%! Other clinical research in recent years has focused on the use of pomegranate juice for preventing the progress of prostate cancer. Like the studies of pomegranate juice and atherosclerosis, daily consumption has resulted in objective changes, in the case of prostate cancer, reduction of the biochemical "marker" known as "prostate specific antigen," or "PSA." Such studies have helped to underscore the importance of our own initial forays into the effects of pomegranate fermented juice extracts in human prostate cancer cells. Other work which we conducted in mice showed that a single injection of a pomegranate juice extract could significantly and powerfully suppress the growth of a human prostate cancer tumor which had been surgically implanted into this mouse. The data from human cell studies, animal studies, and now human clinical studies have tremendously substantiated the protective powers of pomegranate juice against prostate cancer and provoked an international flurry of research in this direction, which has extended also to cancers of the breast and ovary. Pomegranate juice and pomegranate seed oil are also active against human breast cancer cells. Pomegranate seed oil, specifically, was shown to promote the self-destruction of human breast cancer cells in culture. We showed fermented juice extract, pomegranate peel extract and also pomegranate seed oil to promote such self destruction in breast cancer cells (the process known as apoptosis) as well as to actually prevent breast tumor occurrence in both experimental animals and organ cultures. Other researchers have now demonstrated similar results using pomegranate extracts for cancer prevention, such as the prevention of colon cancer in rats. All told, the cancer-busting properties of pomegranates are becoming a subject of both study and respect. Pomegranate juice and other pomegranate materials, such as seed oil and peel extracts, are now widely credited with possessing anti-inflammatory capabilities. Thus, pomegranates may also have a role not only in the treatment of classic inflammatory diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and arthritis, but also in the treatment of so-called "chronic inflammation" or the "metabolic syndrome." According to our current understanding, chronic inflammation is co-existent with a state of high "insulin resistance" which can lead to a host of modern medical problems such as diabetes mellitus, heart disease, cancer and obesity, especially, abdominal obesity. Regular consumption of pomegranate juice or extracts may very well serve as a hedge against all of these conditions, and even help to turn back the clock of aging. In all of the medical past and in all of nature, there are few items that stand out as brilliantly as the pomegranate for its fascination and its rich and varied medical employment. It is expected fully, that as we continue to unravel the mysteries of its chemistry and pharmacology, we will yet find again within the pomegranate a healing bounty to ease our transition into the centuries to come. Ephraim Philip Lansky, M.D., Ph.D. is a pioneering scientist in the field of pomegranate pharmacology. Dr. Lansky continues his research and pharmaceutical development of the pomegranate through Punisyn Pharmaceuticals in Haifa, Israel. Dr. Lansky is the author of two issued US patents in the use of pomegranate extracts for treatment of the symptoms of menopause, and serves as the scientific advisor to Pomegranate Health. ...read more
