You fill out a form with the health information you want stored and it is transferred to the heart pendant. There’s even room for a dose of medication! You can wear the pendant as a necklace or use it as key chain. For men, there is a globe pendant. Besides your digital health record, you can add information such as your drivers license, passport and credit cards. This information will be password protected so you can decide who you share it with.

In order to obtain your PHR, a paramedic, emergency personnel or even your own doctor can easily access it by plugging the usb drive into a computer. You can also print your information if you wish to save time in filling out medical forms. Use this pendant if you have a medical condition, take numerous medications, have frequent changes to your medications, live in an area where natural disasters occur, etc. You can also use a Very Special Heart™ for children. Leave it with babysitters, keep their medical records up to date, and maintain health information if they have a medical condition. Useful for many people, having your health information in a heart is a new way to stay safe.

Burnshield Provides Care For Burns

Posted by Connie on Friday, July 30th, 2010 at 3:31 pm and is filed under Health Information, Health Supplies Equipment.

Burnshield Hydrogel Dressings provide care for 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This dressing contains a sterile water based gel and tea-tree oils. It doesn’t stick to the skin and can be removed easily with water or saline water. Use it during the initial 24 hours of getting a burn to treat, protect and soothe the skin.

I’ve had the unfortunate circumstance of learning about burns because of my older daughter. When she was about 12 years old and staying overnight at a friend’s home, she was invited to ride on her friend’s father’s motorcycle without my permission. Her leg touched the exhaust pipe and she was burned. I wasn’t told about it when it happened or when I picked her up the next day. She also hid it from me. By the second day, the pain was too much for her.

When I took her to the doctor, she was diagnosed with a 2nd degree burn. I learned that not getting immediate medical care made her situation worse. I also know that burn care and treatment is painful and a long process. When I find out about new forms of treatments for burns like Burnshield I like to share the news to help others.

You can learn how to relieve back pain, which can be a chronic condition. Back pain can have many causes. Because of that it can be difficult to diagnosis the the exact condition you have as well as the best treatment option. When you have a source that includes information about the various diagnoses, the conditions, the symptoms, the causes, the treatments and back pain products, then you can learn about back pain relief that works for you.

A good source covers all types of treatment including medical (prescription medications, OTC medications, physical therapy, surgery, etc.), exercise, diet, supplements, chiropractics and alternative (mind/body relief, inversion tables, etc.). It also provides you with  complete descriptions of treatments and a forum to discuss these treatments and it doesn’t avoid simple and free treatments like using ice and heat, stretching, and exercises that you can at home.

A forum where you connect with other people who have back pain is important. Connecting with others in your position can help you find answers and help you feel that you are not alone. You should be able to find a glossary and easy to read explanations of the conditions, diagnoses, treatments and videos that help increase your understanding. All conditions should be covered from muscle strains to spinal arthritis, and from sciatica to scoliosis. Most importantly, it should be free.

It’s important to stay informed about supplements, especially when you are taking prescription medications and/or have a medical condition. You can keep up with the latest information on government websites, health-related organization sites such as The American Heart Association and reputable medical sites which provide scientific and medical research.

Some reasons to stay informed:

  • If you are on prescription medications or take OTC medications on a regular basis, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking supplements.
  • If you are pregnant or trying to conceive
  • When you are having surgery
  • If you aren’t feeling well and haven’t been diagnosed
  • If you are giving supplements to a child

A very common supplement that is taken is glucosamine. There have been medical studies to show that it does reduce pain in people diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Some studies showed that it works better with osteoporosis in the knee that general osteoporosis. These are the most current studies I found while searching this subject. Earlier studies had different outcomes; therefore, staying informed about supplements is key to knowing what is best for you and your health.

Prescription Sunglasses With Digital Lenses

If you have to wear prescription glasses all the time, it is helpful to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. Your regular eyeglasses don’t cover your entire eye like some of the fashionable wrap around sunglasses. If you have issues with sunlight hurting your eyes, you want to be sure that your eyes are covered on the side. It’s also necessary to use glasses that have 100% UV protection.

Digital lenses means that the curve changes from the center of your lens outward to conform to the change in distance and angle of your eye to along the entire lens. Digital surface lenses also accommodate your peripheral vision. Think of as a lens that is made to work with your rounded eye and its movement. Oakley Prescription Sunglasses is the online site that provides digital surface lenses.

Protecting your eyes from the sun by wearing your prescription sunglasses is priority. Finding sunglasses that look good and look good on you is the only way that you will wear them. There’s a large selection at Oakley. You’ll find testimonials to their customer service as well as their satisfaction with the sunglasses.
