In addition to Crest WhiteStrips and Rembrandt 2 HOUR White, I would highly recommend the GoSMILE Advanced Formula B1 system also, which has gotten favorable results.
REVIEW #1-This product is wonderful! I have tried the strips and the paint on goo at night as well as the trays, all of that is junk! This is the only product that has ever significantly whitened my teeth. It’s fast, easy to apply, tastes fine and truly works… Give it a try along with the am pm toothpastes.. you’ll love it. –4 STARS- DON, San Diego, CA on January 27, 2007
REVIEW #2-I have tried everthing on the market ( from Bright Smile to Crest) and this is the only one that causes no tooth pain for me.After 3 days I saw a great inprovement in stain removal (tea, red wine etc…) If Crest whitestrips are making your teeth sensitive, you’ll love this. It works very well. –5 STARS- Bonnie L, New York, NY on April 23, 2006
REVIEW #3-I have used both the original Go Smile and the B1 many times and I love them both. It works very well on my teeth (which are not terribly stained) but I am a heavy coffee drinker. Crest White strips are a nice alternative for about half the price but they give me much more sensitivity and are not as convenient as the GoSmile. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn’t mind spending the $$, but it can only remove a certain amount of stain so don’t expect miracles. :o) –5 STARS-

REVIEW #4-This is GREAT! I used it once, and noticed changes within a few days. I saved the last tubes to freshen up later:) I got many compliments and loved the product. I will be using it again soon! –5 STARS- Alexey, Crofton, MD on January 7, 2007
REVIEW #5-I can honestly say that B1 is the best tooth whitening product I have ever used. I have used others in the past and with disappointing results, so I was skeptical to try something new. I had a wedding coming up, though, and decided to give it a try. In only the first four days I noticed a dramatic difference and began receiving a ton of complements fro my friends and co-workers. By day 10, I was astounded by the results. There is definitely a tingling feeling associated with using it, but, obviously, from my results, that just indicates it’s working. I have all my friends addicted to it and singing its praises, wish I would have discovered it sooner. –5 STARS- Anonymous on November 10, 2006
I’ve decided to post this video to illustrate the increasingly positive press the HairMax Laser HairComb has been receiving.
For more information, check out category in the right labelledâ€hairloss help†for extensive information on this new,effective, FDA approved method for combatting hairloss.
People usually associate face-lift or other invasive procedure as only way to look younger, yet there are many systems in place to help us achieve the look without much intrusion on our faces! There are various safe, non-surgical techniques for rejuvenation your skin.Let’s take a look at some of your options:
ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS
Gycolic, citric, lactic and other alpha hydroxy acis(AHA’s as they called) are rapidly becomming more popular than ever. Excellent moisturizers, they are great for minimizing wrinkling, sun damage and even acne(when used on a regular basis).An even more effective solution would be prescription AHA products in higher concentrations from your dermatologist.
Our Picks?
SUNSCREENS AND MOISTURIZERS A little known fact about sunscreen is that it doesn’t just prevent skin damage, it actually helps fade existing lines as well. Moisturizers work by keeping skin soft and supply, hydrated, while temporarily improving it’s appearance. The simple fact though, is that they don’t quite prevent wrinkles nor reverse the process. However, there are quite a few moisturizers out there that work as an effective anti-aging method also with ingredients such as retinol,etc, which bring us to our next powerful method…..
VITAMIN A DERIVATIVE RETIN-A(Tretinoin)
VITAMIN A(RETIN A) is praised by some medical experts as THE best wrinkle and fine line treatment.It’s surprisingly effective when used on a regular basis.After 5 months to a year you’ll really notice the results of using such treatment as it’s one of those that only gets better with time. Start using this at a young age and you’ll stop the wrinkles and fine lines in their tracks! This stuff truly works, I swear by it!
Tretinoin works by making the skin appear smoother by way of thickening it’s outermost layers and sloughing off the dead skin cells, revealing fresher, younger looking skin.
Chemical peels usually involve a high concentrate of AHA’s(usually between 30-70%). When compared to over the counter AHA products with a maximum of 10%acid you can clearly see how this method would penetrate the skin dermis more for better efficiency.
Chemical peels ,over a course of treatments,can help greatly soften crow’s feet and minor acne scars.
TCA PEELS
The TCA peel is my personal favorite, for it gets really under the dermis and truly reveals a new level of skin surface. Take caution, as this is considered a “DEEP” peel. This peel is used to correct pigmentation problems,obliterate wrinkles on the forehead, around the mouth and eyes.
I used TCA peels for my acne scarring and can I say”wow”! I was really impressed! I had just slightly mild acne scarring and this peel really did the trick. Be advised also that there is some downtime with this type of peel, usually between 7-10 days, where your face will be red, swollen, and crusting of the skin is unavoidable. But overall, this type of peel is so worth it! It does wonders for wrinkles around the eyes.
There are actually some reputable sources on the internet where you can get an at-home kit for a TCA peel. Although I would highly recommend to follow the instructions EXACTLY as stated in the directions. This peel is no joke, but can be administered by anyone, as long as the proper code of conduct is followed.
DERMABRASION
Dermabrasion and mico-dermabrasion involves a rotating wire brush to “sand” off the upper two layers of skin thereby smoothening it’s appearance. This is fantastic for removing acne scars and small wrinkling around the lips.
Micro-dermabrasion kits have become wildly popular in the past 4 years or so and there are definitly some that are 10 fold better than others. But , nonetheless, the at home kits have improved in the years and some are actually as effective as in-office microdermabrasion!
With this procedure, a doctor injects you with a natural animal protein called collagen to plump up facial skin, filling in deep wrinkles and shallow skin.
The results are immediate and last between 3-8 months. The collagen is then re-absorbed or “eaten” by the body.
RESTYLANE
Restylane has really become THE “industry standard” for injectable fillers
It has a really proven, safe track record and is excellent for filling in nasolabial folds(the hollow lines that run the sides of your nose, down to your mouth), areas around the eyes, the forehead and even for lip augmentation.
It’s been really effective, especially at perfectly filling in nasolabial folds. I believe that filling in this folds can(if you have them) can really make you a whole lot younger. If you look at any young person, you’ll see that this area of their face is always smooth and flat. I’ve had restylane injections in the past and I am sort of addicted to it! Yes , I admit it! Call me vain, but the confidence boost is so worth it.
And finally…..
LASER PEELS
This procedure utilizes a laser that carves the epidermis(top skin layer). Laserpeels have an uncanny precision(when done by a qualified physician). The doctor can basically program how deep he wants to go with this method. It can be highly effective for areas around the eyes especially, but also age spots, acne scars, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation.
Every once in a while I come accross a quality fitness book that I must recommend to people. A new e-book I picked up recently is “The truth aobut muscle gain and bodybuilding”.
This ebook covers every aspect about muscle gain and body building and I was quite surprised to find so much useful information.
Some of the subjects it focuses on includes:
*How to increase muscle mass and strength in the shortest amount of time possible by focusing on one basic scientific law of muscle-growth. -This one really works!
*It teaches you to structure your weightlifting routines so that you spend no more than 3 hours in the gym per week-A real smart time-saving instruction
*Illustrates the action of hormones that prohibit you from building true,lean muscle mass.-Again, a real good insight into the development of muscles
*Teaches you exactly how many sets and reps of each exercise to perform.
*Tip and tricks for recovering ultra fast post-workout
*The real truth on how alcohol affects your muscle growth.
*There’s also a section on achieving perfect balance with the right amounts of protein, carbs, fats and water you must consume daily to maximize your muscle growth.
There’s even a section on how to build massive pairs of biceps and triceps- I know I’ve had so much trouble with these two areas in the past myself, so this chapter came in handy.It also debunks any popular myths about bodybuilding and muscle mass, so you know the truth from fact.
I would recommend this book to any guy wanting to build lean muscle mass the right way.
5 Major Deceptions & Myths about 6-Pack Abs & Your Belly Fat
By Mike Geary - Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
1. Did You Know That There are Hidden Foods That are Promoted as “Health Foods” but Actually Stimulate Your Body to Hold Onto Excess Belly Fat & Cover Up Your Six Pack Abs Like a Thick Blanket?
It’s True! Scientists have even discovered that some of these particular foods can even produce a hormonal imbalance in your body that triggers belly fat to resist burning and signals it to be stored excessively. These compounds are rampant in our food supply and hard to avoid unless you know what to look for… this goes WAY beyond trans fats… there are some more sinister villians in our food too (more about that later).
2. Did You Also Know That “Abs Exercises” Such as Crunches, Leg Raises, & Sit-Ups are Actually the LEAST EFFECTIVE Method of Getting Rid of Stubborn Stomach Fat & Love Handles to Uncover Your Abs? And No, the Answer to Belly Fat Loss is NOT Cardio Either!
Yep, you heard me right! Abdominal exercises should only be a VERY small portion of your workouts. In addition, If you don’t perform the right ab exercises in the most effective fashion, you could actually be making your stomach worse!
Ok, here’s the deal… If you want your workouts to stimulate abdominal fat loss for those flat sexy abs, you need a properly designed full body resistance training workout that takes into account certain key factors for stimulating your metabolic rate and increasing your production of fat-burning hormones.
If you ignore these key factors, you’re DOOMED to a flabby stomach forever! I’ll discuss more details about these key factors in a bit.
3. Another Thing… You’ve Been Told That Doing Lots and Lots of Cardio is the Best Way to Lose Body Fat… Correct?Â
WRONG! Once again, the myths that have perpetuated the fitness industry for decades are starting to become more clear.
Did you know that recent properly controlled scientific studies have revealed that people using cardio-based workout routines lost significantly less body fat compared to people who did mostly resistance training based routines? Some subjects even GAINED BODY FAT on the cardio-based workouts, while the resistance trainers got stronger & simultaneously reduced their abdominal fat.
However, you can’t just do any old worthless bodybuilder workout routine that you saw in some magazine. Most people inadvertently focus on all the wrong types of exercises in the wrong combinations. That will most likely just set you up for failure and years more of a fat belly with no abs!Â
There are certain tricks you need to learn to put together a workout routine with combinations that will actually trigger your body to release belly fat. I’ll show you those techniques in a minute.
4. Do You Really Need “Fat Loss Pills” and Other Hyped-Up Supplements to Get Rid of Your Stubborn Belly Fat for Good?
No, you don’t need any supplements! The amount of deception in the supplement industry really pisses me off. Some supplements are ok (only a very limited few), but I estimate that at least 95% of supplements are a total waste of your money. I’ll talk about the only worthwhile ones you can trust, so you can stop wasting your money and being deceived by the clever marketing tactics they use.
5. Ab Belts, Ab-Gadgets, Ab-Rockers/Rollers… all Useless!
Come on now… I know the infomercial showed a ripped sexy fitness model using the Fat-Blaster 6000 Ab Gizmo, but do you really think he or she got that sexy flat stomach by sitting on the couch and using that piece of crap while watching TV?
Hell no! They are ripped and sexy because they are a fitness model and they work hard using REAL WORKOUTS. I’ll even show you some insider secrets as to how some of these fitness models get such lean and sexy bodies with rock hard abs. Some of the techniques are pretty clever!

These top 10 supplements are a "MUST HAVE" for men of all ages.
With this arsenal to your daily nutrition intake, you will combat the early signs of aging ,help your body run more efficiently,fight disease and add years to your life.
The top 10 supplements for men 2007 are as follows:
1-Vitamin E- Touted as the BEST supplement for fighting the signs of aging, this is one of THE most potent antioxidants. Vitamin E will help reduce heart disease greatly, fight off cancer and cancerous cells, reduce the risk of certain eye diseases and even help beat alzheimer’s disease.This supplement is essential in reducing/aiding muscle tissue damage caused after exercising.
2-Saw Palmetto- The little known fact about this supplement is that it is actually as effective , if not even more effective for hair loss then propecia. It is all natural and is clinically proven to reduce the overproduction of the hormone DHT-dihydrotestosterone.Male pattern baldness is caused by overproduction of DHT. Saw palmetto reduces production of DHT.
Many studies time and time again has shown Saw Palmetto to improve hairlines and hair thickness in more than 75% of the men involved in the studies. Recommended daily dose:200mg
3-Coenzyme Q10-Co Q10- This is a compound which is produced naturally by your body, it improves your muscle cells to translate the oxygen in your blood to useable energy. This in turn greatly helps with fatigue and chronic fatigue symdrome, which affects more then 50 million americans.In a recent study , subject taking 100mg daily for 2 months eradicated up to 95% of their fatigue and almost doubled their current energy levels! This supplement is truly being touted as a miracle supplement.Our recommendation is between 100-150 mg daily. TOP PICKS Nature Made CoQ10 400mg Coenzyme Softgel, Maximum Strength or GNC Preventive Nutrition Coenzyme Q-10, 100mg Softgel Capsules
4-Chromium Piccolinate- This supplement helps keep your blood sugar normal, therefore reducing the urge to eat high-sugar foods, improving your body’s sensitivity to insulin.Men who regularly use this mineral in their diets in the long term gained less weight than their peers taking other, non-effective weight-loss supplements. The group in the studies were taking a daily intake of 400mcg as an effective weight control aid.Top pick by far? GNC Chromium Picolinate 200 mcg, Softgel Capsules
5-Green Tea- Green tea is the gold standard fat burner and has been used for centuries because it contains EGCG(epigallocatechin gattate) an antioxidant known to increase resting metabolic rate and stimulates thermogenesis which is the process by which your body burns fat. In essence it coats internal fat, making it easier to eliminate. Long term use of green tea aids in continued weight loss. It is a great supplement for increasing energy prior to workouts.We recommend between 240-300 mg capsules daily or 3-4 cups for continued, healthy weight control.
6.Ginkgo Biloba- This supplement herb helps your brain run smoothly by steadying the flow of fuel, in the form of oxygenated blood. Ginkgo opens the vessels that deliver bloodflow to your brain and breaks up sticky mucus platelets to help increase flow more easily. Recent studies show that men who take 200 milligrams daily for one month were 40 percent more productive in the afternoon then those who werent taking the supplement. It increases memory retention and makes it easier to remember things you would easily forget, thus increasing productivity. We recommend between 180-220 milligrams daily.

Yoga is primarily aimed at uniting the mind, body, and spirit. People that practise yoga(yogi’s) view the mind and body and one and given the right tools and proper yoga exercises, you can find harmony and heal yourself. Yoga is indeed very therapeutic,helping you become more aware of your body’s posture, alignment and movement. It will definitely make you more flexible with time(which is great for sex) and will help you relax in stressful situations. This alone is one of the main reasons most people want to start practicing yoga.You will feel more fit, energetic, happier and peaceful.
At the physical level,Yoga has been proven to be extremely effective for a variety of disorders.
Scientists have expressed that the results of Yoga are even more advantageous than regular exercise since they tap into three main categories of health benefits, including physiological, psychological and biochemical.
The origins and practise of Yoga dates back thousands of years. Yoga’s main principle lies on the mind-body connection that is now being proven by modern medicine.
Physiological Benefits include:
Improved balance
Improved Steadiness
Reaction time improves
Energy level increase
Endurance increase
Eye-hand cordination increase
Increased posture
Excretory function improves
Improves musculoskeletal flexibility and joint range of motion
Increase in joint range of motion
Grip strength increases
Improves sleep!
Improves the immune system
Energy levels increase
Healthy weight normalizes
Decrease in pain
Integrated functioning of body parts improves
Breath-holding time increases
Endocrine function improves
Strength and resilience improves
Respiratory efficiency increases
Perhaps the best physiological function that increases is your EEG waves, including alpha,theta, delta and beta waves. They increase during various stages of meditation.
Psychological benefits include:
Improvement of depth perception
Concentration increase
Attention improves
Well-being increases
Learning ability improves
Self-acceptance increases
Well-being improves
Kinesthetic awareness expands
Social skills improve
Mood improves profoundly
Learning efficiency improves
Attention-span increases

Your hostility decreases
Depression and anxiety decreases profoundly
Ability to socialy adjust increases
Self-acceptance increases
Perhaps the greatest psychological benefit includes mood improvement, depression/anxiety reduction and a greater increase in overall well-being
Biochemical benefits include:
Vitamin C increase
Thyroxin increases
White blood cells decrease
HDL cholesterol decrease
VLDL cholesterol decrease
Hemoglobin increase
Perhaps the greatest biochemical benefit includes reduction of LDL cholesterol levels and building the immune system overall to near-perfect,balanced proportions.
Some additional, main highlights of Yoga include:
Increased flexibility-Yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are rarely exercised through traditional exercise.
Increased lubrication on the joints, ligaments and tendons-It has been well-documented that certain yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.
Yoga massages ALL organs of the body. Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner. One organ that benefits the most is the prostate, which hardly gets externally stimulated during our lifetime.
This stimulation and massage of the organs benefits us by keeping away diseases and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.
By far the most intense benefit of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness it creates in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or disease. Ultimately this enables the person to take proper correction action.
Yoga offers complete detoxification. Yoga gently stretches the muscles and joints and massages various organs, therefore ensuring optimum blood supply throughout the body. This action helps flush out toxins from every area of the body as well as provides nourishment throughout the entire system.
This will ultimately benefit the body in way of delayed aging, energy increase and remarkable energy for life.
When we realize that stress, which in reality is the #1 killer affecting all parts of our physical and emotional systems, we come to realize how important Yoga is to combat these symptoms from the very source of the problem.
The ultimate goal of Yoga is to achieve self realization and enlightenment which so many men are lacking in today’s society.
Yoga exercises utilizes the least metabolism or stress and meditation in turn provides the strength and will to turn the body into a resilient fighter of so many illnesses.
With all these amazing health benefits noted and proven, it’s easy to see how incorporating Yoga into your lifestyle might help you live a more prosperous life overall.
On a closing note I’d like to add that there are various technologies out there that can help you reach intense meditative, beneficial states immediately using such NLP brainwave entrainment audio programs such as Mind Enhancement, Brain Training, or my personal favorite “The World’s First Digital Euphoria”.
Note-In separate articles I’ll describe in more detail the power of NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Brainwave Entrainment Technology.
So you wanna know the quickest, easiest ways to whiter teeth?
Well look no further, this article will explain in detail all the best known practises and price ranges. Let’s face it, everyone wants pearly white teeth. It is slowly becomming a standard of not only hollywood stars, but also mainstream individuals.
So obsessed are Americans with our smiles that we shell out an estimated $600 million a year to make them gleaming white. I’ve compiled some of the best known practises for ultimate "at-home" teeth whitening as well as the most effective products on the market today that offer cost-efficiency and ease of use. It would be best to avoid everyday items that would stain tooth enamel such as coffee and cigarettes in the long term. You can take several approaches to whiten your smile:
AT HOME: 1. The strips.The best kits I’ve used to date were the Rembrandt 2 Hour White(for very quick results) and Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus, Dental Whitening Formula System, which works in about a week, with results seen as quickly as 3 days. The kit can whiten teeth up to 10 shades whiter and the results last for about 6 months to a year. The Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus, Dental Whitening Formula System kit is relatively in-expensive ranging between $13-$30.For me they offer the most cost effective, real whitening results and last a pretty long time.This is by far the product I’ve found to do the best job at home.
2.Rembrandt 2 Hour White. I’ve used this product and while it does not offer the results of a full week’s supply of Crest Whitestrips, it does do a pretty darn good job for just 2 hours! Expect whitening results of 4-8 shades lighter after the initial 2 hour use.
IN OFFICE BLEACHING: Reviews agree that professional tooth whitening treatments are, by far, the quickest and most successful way to brighten up your pearly whites. This can be done at a dentist-supervised whitening center such as BriteSmile or by your own dentist, with a procedure like the Zoom! Chairside Whitening System. This technique uses light therapy to speed up the bleaching action of hydrogen peroxide, lightening teeth up to ten shades in about an hour. While it’s the most expensive option, it also lasts the longest, up to a couple of years. A slightly cheaper option (*est. $300 to $600) is an ADA-approved bleaching kit provided by your dentist. These have 10% peroxide and a custom-fitted mouth tray that you can wear at home, either for one to two hours per day or overnight.
WHITENING TOOTHPASTE: Upon trying and researching TONZ of whitening toothpastes, most experts and myself included agree that SuperSmile is the only at-home toothpaste that offers real whitening from a toothpaste.
There are SO many toothpastes on the market today that make much promiss of whitening, but always underdelivers. supersmile, the #1 patented whitening toothpaste recommended by top cosmetic dentists, contains: Calprox® - clinically developed to safely whiten teeth. Baking Soda - to freshen breath and maintain healthy gums. Fluoride - to effectively fight cavities. Removes stubborn coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, food stains and plaque, without harmful bleaches or abrasives. Trust me, there is no other whitening toothpaste on the market today that will work as synergistically to maintain your whitening results, from ex: crest whitestrips, than SuperSmile toothpaste.
ANONYMOUS REVIEW
*****-I use Supersmile toothpaste & Supersmile floss daily in addition to whitening my teeth with at-home custom trays made by my dentist. I can tell a big difference in my teeth by keeping up a regular regimen with the products. The Supersmile products are excellent for maintaining a brighter smile and my tooth surface feels like it has a glossier surface after using the product. If you want to brighten your smile, I recommend tooth bleaching in addition to the products for maximum "bling". — Anonymous on June 10, 2007
CONCLUSION: All experts agree that professional teeth whitening, while the most expensive, is the way to go if you want dramatic, long-lasting results and convenience.
Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus, Dental Whitening Formula System wins good reviews for over-the-counter effectiveness and convenience. Note:If you have your own personal experience from using Crest Whitestrips or any other teeth whitening system, please review it in the comment box.
*****These work! I use them every six months. My teeth are fairly white to begin with, but I definitely noticed a few shades difference using these…teeth are whiter and much brighter. The strips caused a little bit of sensitivity to the gum area, but nothing unbearable. People will notice your smile! — Anonymous on April 4, 2007
*****This is worth every penny! I cannot believe how white my teeth are, and I haven’t even used them for a whole week. They are a little uncomfortable at first, but you get used to them quickly. — Anonymous on March 26, 2007
*****GREAT PRODUCT! I can stand having both strips on at once, but my husband only wears one at a time. His teeth are slighty sore after he uses them, but mine aren’t. Even if you feel some soreness, it isn’t too bad, and the great whitening results are worth it! We both get tons of compliments on our white teeth. You can put them on any time and still be able to talk almost perfectly while wearing them. I usually wear them and go for a 30 minute walk, so I’m whitening my teeth and getting some exercise! — Amber, FPO, AP on February 4, 2007
*****These are amazing; they really do whiten your teeth very well! The first time I used them (a few years ago), I had minor gum irritation but that was about all. I’m using them for a second time this week (I’m on my last 2 strips right now actually) and have had no irritation or sensitivity whatsoever. The main thing is not to brush right before using them. It states this on the package as well. Nothing I have used before has whitened my teeth so dramatically — it really is like night and day. I have gotten all kinds of compliments. I definitely reccomend them! — Cody on January 17, 2007
*****I’ve been using these for 5 days (I still have 2 to go), and I love them! After my braces came off, my teeth had a slight yellowish tint that looked really bad in pictures and with some clothes. These are really easy - you just stick them on your teeth, wear them for 30 minutes twice a day, and peel them off. My teeth are significantly whiter, and I can’t wait to see what they’ll look like in a few days! Although I have sensitive teeth, I didn’t experience any extra sensitivity. — Laura on October 6, 2006
*****This product really did work for me. My teeth were yellow enough to consider bleaching, so I decided to go with this product. I have used this product slightly different than what was directed, because the claims of teeth sensitivity concerned me. I also used crest sensitivity toothpaste. The result is a dramatic white smile that cathes me off guard everytime I catch my reflection. My teeth are WHITE! I’m completely happy with my result. — checked on August 17, 2006
