<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#FF0000&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMPORTANT UPDATE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - JUNE 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Viraphend Web site is one the most detailed, unbiased sites available, 
that provides easy to understand in-depth information that relates to HPV, 
cervical dysplasia and genital warts, so please use this site freely to make an 
informed decision about the future of your health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Having said that, it is with deep regret and sadness that Phend 
pharmaceuticals has decided to discontinue manufacturing Viraphend at the end of 
December 2006.&lt;/b&gt; Our companie's ethos has always been to provide the highest 
quality products that have been researched intensely verifying that clinically 
proof always accompanied our claims. For this reason you will notice that we do 
not have a large inventory, as making a natural product that effectively treats 
serious diseases is an extremely difficult task. As far as Viraphend goes, from 
the very outset we have been constantly up against the medically fraternity on 
the one hand and the consumer on the other hand wandering if purchasing a 
product off the internet has any value. Due to this, we have always chosen our 
words carefully so as not to offend certain sectors of the medical community, 
however this has not always been in the best interest of the consumer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By providing a one sided approach even though it may be true, is never good 
for business as the perception from potential buyers is that the data is biased, 
so we have always provided a balanced approach to accommodate this ideal and 
refrain from accusing medical practitioners from improper practices. This we 
have succeeded in doing, unfortunately there have been parts that have been left 
out, which are probably the most important parts of all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viraphend has always been a product of passion, as it provided the means to 
effectively treat a common disease in a simple manner and provide patients with 
a safety net, without them having to resort to costly and painful surgery. It 
has never been a profitable product, but one that's been extremely rewarding 
over the past ten years, especially when patients contacted us with their 
fantastic news.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we no longer have a perceived financial agenda, it's time to let the cat 
out the bag in reply to our critics whom we have largely ignored over the years. 
The saddest part is that we have truly helped thousands of men and women over 
the years, who unfortunately will have to resort to some barbaric medical 
procedures in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following information will prove shocking to some, but it's worth 
reading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHY DO WE SELL VIRAPHEND OVER THE INTERNET?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We don't only sell it over the internet. In our home country it is available 
through 1500 pharmacies and supplied through pharmaceutical distributors. The 
internet provides us with a cost effective means to sell Viraphend 
internationally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHY CAN'T I FIND VIRAPHEND IN MY OWN COUNTRY?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i) The main reason is that foreign governments are making it harder and 
harder for foreign companies to register &quot;nutritional supplements&quot; with the 
medical registration authorities. Although it may benefit their citizens there 
is no financial benefit to the government.&lt;br&gt;
ii) There is also a major move by pharmaceutical companies to lobby governments 
all over the world, to place a ban on nutritional supplements and natural 
medicines. The reason for this is self explanatory, the sad thing is that they 
are winning.&lt;br&gt;
iii) Viraphend is an expensive product to make. For it to be effective you 
cannot take short cuts. With every person in the step from exporter to importer 
to wholesaler and retailer adding their markup, Viraphend becomes too expensive, 
having to compete against cheaper unproven products that have great marketing 
and advertising campaigns, but with no medical benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ISN'T VIRAPHEND JUST A BUNCH OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This question has been highlighted numerous times on web chat rooms and 
BLOG's. Natural products cannot be patented and therefore we detail our 
ingredients in a manner that shows what it is but in a way that it cannot be 
duplicated by a competing company. If it were a simple matter of providing 
vitamins and minerals, everyone would do it. We don't expect the average person 
to understand the complex mechanism of symbiosis and therefore do not go into a 
detailed explanation of how the actives only work if the ratio balances are 
intact. In addition most processed natural molecular structures have a size that 
does not exceed 0.5 million dalton. This is very small, however not small enough 
to interact with viruses. The key virus attacking ingredients in Viraphend are 
at 2 million dalton. Four times smaller than most actives. At this level they 
can now interact and strip away a viruses protective outer shield, and this is 
what makes Viraphend truly unique. Getting access to this quality of natural 
ingredient is even more difficult as the process is time consuming and extremely 
expensive. We searched for three years and only found two small companies 
worldwide who's ingredients met the highest quality criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;THE MEDICAL ASPECTS - IN EVERY DAY LANGUAGE.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT IS CERVICAL DYSPLASIA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simply put it is an abnormality of the cells that line the cervix. When seen 
under a microscope they have a flattish appearance rather than a round oval 
shape. The problem with testing is that the level of false positives is too 
high. This means that if you took your pap test to 5 different labs, the 
discrepancies between each labs results are to high. &lt;br&gt;
The most common results that come back are ASCUS. This means an Atypical 
Squamous Cell of Undetermined Significance. In other words the cell is slightly 
out of shape but they cannot determine the significance of this. A honest 
practitioner should tell you to do the following:&lt;br&gt;
Come back in 6 months time for another test.&lt;br&gt;
Avoid washing your vaginal area with soap&lt;br&gt;
Stop using any form of anti-bacterial douche &lt;br&gt;
Stop taking bubble baths&lt;br&gt;
Don't wash your hair while sitting in the bath&lt;br&gt;
Don't spray your vaginal area with deodorant&lt;br&gt;
Build up your immune system&lt;br&gt;
And take a 3 month course of Viraphend&lt;br&gt;
But instead the normal response is: &quot;You have cervical dysplasia and if not 
treated it will turn to cancer. I'll see you in six months time for another 
pap&quot;. All the unfortunate patient remembers is that word &quot;CANCER&quot; and her brains 
turn to mush. She is now putty in her doctors hands.&lt;br&gt;
Why should a doctor advise you to take a 3 month course of Viraphend.&lt;br&gt;
Because we have clinical evidence that Viraphend treats cervical dysplasia in 
most cases and perhaps most importantly is that Cervical Dysplasia is a very 
slow acting condition. From ASCUS or CIN-1 it can take 5-10 years to develop 
into cancer. Even at CIN-2 it is many years away. So what is the harm in trying 
a 3 month course that when successful provides an immunity to that particular 
strain of HPV. When that happens you follow up with annual checks ups and no 
more worries about surgery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The question you should now be asking, is why don't they advise this. The 
answer to this can never be proven in a court of law, so we'll provide the 
background and leave it to the law of public opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The journey of a medical practitioner is long and costly. It is a profession 
that one takes on for life, with many years of intense study and years of very 
hard work as one builds up knowledge of the human condition. Most doctors look 
forward to the day of being in private practice which has unprecedented 
financial rewards compared to working in government institutions. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now....it is estimated that a gynecologists income is approximately 30%-50% 
reliant on cervical dysplasia. These are the charges that come into play:&lt;br&gt;
Initial consult, pap smear, lab fees. (In some countries the lab pays a 
commission of all work sent their way), Colposcopy charge, Biopsy charge when 
applicable which includes:&lt;br&gt;
Additional lab fees (+commission), Hospital fees (+commission), surgical fees, 
Theatre fees (+commission), and any subsequent follow up consulting fees.&lt;br&gt;
This can go on for years and years. It is ludicrous that in this day and age 
that a viral infection is still being treated with surgery, it's almost unheard 
of, and they have the gall to call it &quot;modern medicine&quot;.&lt;br&gt;
We spent hundreds of thousands detailing gynaecologists in our country. Only one 
took an interest but it never went any further. Are you shocked....well we were.&lt;br&gt;
Do doctors ignore Viraphend because they are concerned at their potential loss 
of income? We let you be the judge, because although we have tried, we have 
never received a straight answer.&lt;br&gt;
Why should a medical practitioner give up a large chunk of his income to a DIY 
medication, especially a natural medication. No amount of clinical evidence will 
ever change this status quo. A doctor never bucks the system, because if you do, 
the consequences can be devastating. &lt;br&gt;
So in order to circumvent this avenue, we approached the consumer directly and 
hoped that common sense would prevail. And yes there are fortunately women out 
there who could see through the medical facade, but unfortunately the vast 
majority are brain washed into trusting their doctors implicitly and without 
question. Over the years we have received the most horrifying stories from women 
who received full hysterectomies while still in their early twenties with a CD 
reading of CIN-1. Others have reported that their doctors told them to double 
their daily dose of the pill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WHY ARE THERE NO TESTIMONIALS ON YOUR SITE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I never cease to be amazed how people base their buying decisions based on 
testimonials of people they have never seen or spoken to. Testimonials are a 
scam. Anyone can make up miracle stories with fictitious names, it's a common 
practice to help sell a product. We instead provide actually clinical trials and 
data to verify Viraphends' effectiveness. Clinical trials are undertaken by 
independent medical researches who's findings are then published to the medical 
community for peer review and scrutiny. One of these is worth a million 
testimonials, because they can't be manipulated. It's not that people don't 
trust clinical trials, the problem is they don't understand the importance of 
them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ISN'T THERE NOW A CURE FOR CERVICAL DYSPLASIA?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new vaccine has been developed against the two known types of HPV that 
cause cervical cancer which are HPV 16 &amp; 18. There are about 5 other HPV types 
that are suspected in causing cervical cancer and 70 more some of which can 
cause genital warts of which there is still no known vaccine cure. There has not 
been sufficient time to evaluate if there are any long term side effects 
associated with these new vaccines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT SHOULD I DO?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viraphend will only be available until the end of Dec 2006. If you have a pap 
smear test result as ASCUS or CIN-1, then we highly advise you to use your 
common sense and at least try the product before venturing into costly and 
painful surgery. You have time on your hands and nothing to loose, but much to 
gain.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Qina - a breakthrough for AIDS and Cancer sufferers</title>
<link>http://www.dephend.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=3</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;Qina brings new hope to immune compromised people, and improves their 
overall quality of life.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qina is a credible medicament that has undergone vigorous clinical trials 
both in vitro and in vivo, providing remarkable results in both Cancer and HIV/AIDS 
patients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qina, a powerful immune modulating complementary medicament, which does not 
present toxicity or side effects in patients. It is indicated for diseases where 
the immunity is depressed or compromised particularly in Cancer &amp; HIV/AIDS 
patients. It is of interest to note that &lt;b&gt;healthy individuals can also take Qina 
for improved wellness&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Practitioners have been using Qina on hundreds of immune compromised patients 
with enormous success. CD4 counts averaging 40 to 290, rose above the key level 
of 500 within 4 weeks. An increment in appetite and weight, a marked decrease in 
opportunistic infections and viral loads, provided a dramatic impact and 
improvement in their quality of life allowing patients to return to work within 
a short space of time and become productive members of the community once again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a quarter of the patients, Qina was used together with ARV's without 
significant incidence or side effects. Three quarters of patients used Qina 
alone with significant results especially on the physical well being as well as 
the improvement of CD4 and viral loads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# REDUCES VIRAL LOADS - in 4 weeks&lt;br&gt;
# INCREASE IN CD4 &amp; CD8 COUNTS - From as 
low as 40 to over 500 in 4-6 weeks&lt;br&gt;
# DECREASES THE OCCURRENCE OF OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS From 70% to 5% in 6 
months&lt;br&gt;
# DECREASES ANTI-RETROVIRAL &amp; CHEMOTHERAPY TOXICITY&lt;br&gt;
# IMPROVES APPETITE&lt;br&gt;
# NON TOXIC&lt;br&gt;
# GENERAL OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;History will judge us harshly if we fail to respond with all the energy and 
resources that we can bring to bear, in the fight against HIV/AIDS&quot; - Nelson Mandela.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What makes Qina very attractive to some of the organizations mentioned above, is 
that in addition to providing an effective solution to the AIDS pandemic, these 
organizations can also provide poverty relief, empower the unemployed to become 
financially independent, provide much needed funding to their organizations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why is Qina needed:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
There is a massive need for a medication that provides effective treatment to 
HIV/AIDS sufferers.&lt;br&gt;
With over 5 million HIV sufferers in South Africa alone, most of which do not 
have access to Anti Retroviral drugs, Qina offers an excellent alternative to 
allopathic medicine.&lt;br&gt;
Not only are there 14 clinical trials proving it's effectiveness, but there are 
thousands of anecdotal testimonial accounts of the success of Qina.&lt;br&gt;
Qina has no toxic side effects whereby Anti Retroviral drugs have many.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;Qina brings new hope to immune compromised people,
and improves their overall quality of life.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dosage:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Pour a small amount (20-30ml) of water into a glass. Add 10 drops of Qina to the 
water and drink. Repeat 3 times daily.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SAFE&lt;/b&gt; for use by pregnant or lactating mothers, children and babies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does Qina cause any adverse side effects to your health?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;No, the Qina immune modulator medicament is completely harmless to your health; 
this has been confirmed, based upon the results of a scientific research. The 
complete absence of any toxic effects that might be caused even when 
administered at very high concentrated dosages, the medicament did not produce 
any morphological or genetic changes to the cells called T lymphocytes. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;“The 
research has confirmed that the medicament is non-toxic to human cells”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Do not use a metal spoon or metal cup. Only a glass or plastic container.&lt;br&gt;
Drops to be administered directly into the water.&lt;br&gt;
Store below 25° C and out of direct sunlight.&lt;br&gt;
Do not store in the fridge or near any electrical appliances including cell 
phones.&lt;br&gt;
Contains alcohol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;QUESTIONS &amp; ANSWERS &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What makes Qina different from other immune boosting products?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Almost all products making claims about boosting the immune system comprise a 
concoction of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals which are naturally found in 
foods especially fruits and vegetables. These supplements do not work on the 
immune system directly but rather in a supplemental role providing anti-oxidant 
agents that eliminate free radicals, which in a sense lifts the work load from 
the immune system. These types of medications are directed primarily at healthy 
individuals who eat a balanced diet and therefore use them in a supplemental 
role. To put it into perspective, drinking a glass of water boosts your immune 
system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qina is not reliant on nutrients and does not contain any form of nutritional 
components. It is derived from the cutting edge of medical science and 
encompasses sub molecular bio energy electro-medicine, which acts directly on 
the main cells of the immune system, called macrophages, increasing and 
magnifying their functions. These cells are able to recognize any foreign 
element and then start to exchange information with other cells. Increases in 
the number of T and B lymphocytes, as well as cytokines, which are key 
indicators of an improved immune system is evident of Qina's immune modulating 
function. There is also a reduction of the Tumourus Necrosis Factor (TNF), 
responsible for among others, the collateral effects caused by chemotherapy or 
ARV's. Once the macrophage kicks into action the overall activity of the immune 
system is accelerated. Qina is not reliant on a healthy diet and is more 
effective in a compromised immune system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can Qina prevent a patient from developing AIDS?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Yes. An Aids patient is classified as someone who has tested positive for HIV 
and has a CD4 count below 300. Qina provides patients with an immune boost that 
prevents the CD4 count from getting to this level ensuring that a normal quality 
of life is achieved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can we affirm that Qina can cure Cancer and Aids?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;No. In cancer cases, the medicament provides a regression of the symptoms, 
including pain, thus improving the patient's overall quality of life. Appetite 
improves, weight is gained and an overall feeling of wellness returns. There is 
also evidence of the regression of the lesion itself, thus making the disease's 
prognosis look considerably better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Aids/HIV cases, there is an increase in the number of the active T and B 
lymphocytes, as well as the number of cytokines. Therefore, patients with Aids 
immediately respond to treatment, with a decrease in the incidence level of 
opportunistic diseases, such as pneumonia and other infections, viral burden 
goes down to very low levels, becoming, in some cases, almost non-detectable. In 
addition to the specific efficacy on the immunologic stimulation against the 
tumour or the infection, the medicament provides quality of life to patients 
submitted to aggressive therapies. For this reason, the medicament may be used 
in association with other traditional treatments, such as chemotherapy in cancer 
cases, and ARV medicaments in Aids cases. The Qina medicament acts on the TNF - 
Tumour Necrosis Factor, causing a significant reduction of this factor's 
secretion, and also reducing the adverse side effects, such as nausea and 
vomiting, caused by chemotherapy or ARV medications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What can assure credibility to the scientific research undertaken?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;The medicament has passed through a battery of scientific clinical tests and 
research studies, over the past five years. Open to peer review and discussion, 
the results brought forth, have been quite surprising and amazing for both the 
physicians and the researchers involved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Does Qina cause any adverse side effects to your health?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;No, the Qina immune modulator medicament is completely harmless to your health; 
this has been confirmed, based upon the results of a scientific research. The 
complete absence of any toxic effects that might be caused even when 
administered at very high concentrated dosages, the medicament did not produce 
any morphological or genetic changes to the cells called T lymphocytes. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;The 
research has confirmed that the medicament is non-toxic to human cells&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is Qina only for Cancer and HIV/Aids patients?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;No. Qina can be used by any person who is suffering from a weakened immune 
system, whether caused from a poor diet, bacterial or viral infections including 
the flu.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can Qina be used in conjunction with ARV's or Chemotherapy&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Yes. There are no contra indications with either of these two lines of therapy. 
In fact Qina promotes a lowering of the toxic side effects that can occur with 
ARV and chemotherapy treatments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who Produces Qina?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Phend Pharmaceuticals are the registered owners of Qina. Phend Pharmaceuticals 
primary role for the past five years has been in the research and development 
of natural medicines that treat serious disorders like Cervical Cancer, Human 
Pappiloma Virus, Eczema and Psoriasis, Chronic sinusitis and vaginal disorders. 
Through it's sister company Tritof Enterprises SA which specializes in 
distribution into the medical establishment for the past 15 years. References 
can be verified via UPD, KEMCO, Alpha Pharm, ACA, Letangs and ECP all major 
pharmaceutical distributors with whom Tritof has built a respected name with over the 
years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qina is manufactured by an MCC approved facility that specializes in this form 
of medication, providing GMP practices and extremely high levels of quality. In 
addition the medication has been registered with the Medicines control Council.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;For how long should I stay on the treatment.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;It is advisable to remain on Qina for at least a year once your CD4 counts are 
above 500. In almost all cases, patients choose to remain on Qina indefinitely 
in order to maintain a strong immune system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How long does a bottle last?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;A 50ml bottle provides sufficient doses for one month&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is it safe for Mom's and Babies?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Yes it is safe for use by pregnant or lactating mothers, children and babies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What are Qina's components?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Qina is a proprietary blend of natural extracts. The extracts themselves do not 
work in the conventional understanding that molecular structures derived from 
plants have components that interact with chemicals within the body in order to 
manufacture new chemical compounds that have a biological healing effect. The 
components are extracted in a specific and particular way, and mixed together 
encompassing a sub molecular bio energy electro-medicine which is at the cutting 
edge of medical science. This specific protocol is at the heart of Qinas' 
effectiveness and not the ingredients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do I need a special license if I want to sell Qina&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;No. Qina is a classified as a complimentary medicine and is unscheduled. You 
therefore need no license or special qualifications to be trading in this form 
of medication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Testimonials and Anecdotal evidence:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;One thing I can assure you is that wherever we have presented this medicine for 
review, we have been received with scepticism and disbelief. This is 
understandable when one considers the amount of immune boosting antioxidant 
rubbish that has being peddled these past years. The fact that 14 clinical 
trials was not impressive enough (mainly due to the ignorance of laymen as to 
what is involved in clinical trials), everyone wanted to see physical proof.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we approached a number of Aids clinics in Johannesburg and Pretoria in order to show 
the medical staff that this product works. South Africa has one of the highest 
incidences of AIDS Infections worldwide. Not only that but we also suggested 
that they start treatment on their worst cases i.e. those that had a few weeks 
left to live. The results have been so amazing that as one doctor put it, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;even 
though I see it, I can't believe it, there are no fitting words to describe 
this&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two patients in particular were so bad that they were constantly slipping in and 
out of consciousness. Within 10 days they had recovered to the degree that they 
both were eating three meals a day, and the one, although aided was able to take 
short walks. If you've never seen a dying AIDS patient then believe me this 
borders on miraculous.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tateni Hospice administered to three patients in April 2006. Sibusiso Masemola. 
9 years old (file 130/06) admitted with malnourishment weighing 15kg. After one 
week he had gained 1kg, appetite and overall well being had improved and was 
discharged into home care follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dina Motau. 43 years of age file (133/06) was admitted with loss of appetite, 
weak and wasting away. Weight gain from 40kg-45kg. Physical wellness improved 
including appetite. Patient discharged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thandi Modjadji 38 years old file (134/06) admitted at 41kg, weak and emaciated. 
After 2 weeks her appetite has been regained and improved to 42kg. She remains 
bedridden, but continues to regain her strength and overall feeling of 
improvement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One patient suffering with prostate cancer, had for the first time in two years 
suffered with no pain and was able to urinate free of pain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rasagao Molala, 48, has full-blown Aids after conventional drugs failed to stop 
the advance of his tuberculosis or improve his immunity. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;It was like a 
miracle,&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; he says, explaining that after one month, he was, quite literally, 
back on his feet again and his CD4 count had improved remarkably.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Rwegasira says &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;The quality of life for about 70 patients affected by 
HIV/AIDS went up from 45% to 196% in a three-month period since February this 
year.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; The percentage was calculated from CD4 count that climbed from the lowest 
average of 14 to 889. A normal CD4 count for a healthy person is 500 and above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aidah Naiga was wasting away with AIDS after taking the immune modulating 
medicament she regained strength and was able to resume her work in a month. &lt;i&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;I 
had given up hope. It was a miracle. I am told I cannot even qualify for ARVs 
now!&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, she said. Her CD4 count shot up to 600, above the level of a patient put 
on ARVs only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PUSH AIDS clinic Kliptown Soweto. After 4 weeks these are the documented 
results. All in all Qina helped most of the bedridden patients. Many could not 
even stand without assistance. After Qina, patients began to walk and showed an 
overall improvement in appetite and energy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two patients in particular displayed miraculous recoveries. Eunice Patient and 
Beauty Mofokeng had full blown AIDS. They couldn't talk, eat or walk and 
suffered with mental disorientation and had constant diarrhoea. After taking 
Qina, the diarrhoea disappeared, began eating 3 meals per day and started 
talking. Within a few weeks they were back on their feet again. Both 
practitioners and health care workers were amazed at the power of QINA, as 
without it they would have surely died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;15 patients partook over 4 weeks (For total curing of AIDS symptoms, patients 
were advised to continue medication for 1 year) 2 miraculous recoveries, 9 major 
recoveries, 2 marginal responses 2 unchanged&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;……and the anecdotal evidence continues to pour in.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Professional Skin HEELS</title>
<link>http://www.dephend.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=2</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Painful cracked heels are usually a result of neglect!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If not properly looked after, thickened heels may fissure leading to pain, 
difficulty walking, increased susceptibility to infection ( especially amongst 
diabetics) and more frivolous complaints such as wear and tear on socks and 
laddering of stockings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fissures or cracks of the feet occur at two main sites; around the heel and 
between the toes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both indicate the inability of the skin to cope with local stresses. If you 
have had a long term problem, it is advisable to first see your dermatologist or 
podiatrist to exclude possible fungal infection, psoriasis or dermatitis, 
because incorrect diagnosis often results in weeks of ineffective treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The thick skin of the heels responds to careful reduction of the crusts, 
followed by maintenance care with &lt;b&gt;Professional Skin HEELS&lt;/b&gt;, a highly purified 
medical lanoline and urea based preparation to keep the skin moisturized and 
flexible. Dry fissures can be prevented by regular foot care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For severely cracked heels, just applying &lt;b&gt;P.S. HEELS&lt;/b&gt; heel balm is unlikely to 
help on its own. In addition, one needs to follow these instructions carefully:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Soak feet in warm water for at least ten minutes.&lt;br&gt;
2. Physically remove dead skin with a pumice stone/ emery board/ abrasive paper&lt;br&gt;
3. Pat the skin dry and immediately apply &lt;b&gt;P.S. HEELS&lt;/b&gt; heel balm to the affected 
area.&lt;br&gt;
4. Occlude the area with plastic such as Gladwrap , Clingwrap or a plastic bag&lt;br&gt;
5. Cover with a sock&lt;br&gt;
6. Keep covered overnight&lt;br&gt;
7. Remove wrap in morning. Dry feet and reapply the cream &lt;br&gt;
8. Repeat the procedure until the cracks are healing and thereafter, plastic 
occlusion can be left out.&lt;br&gt;
9. It is important that you limit the wearing open shoes / sandals as this 
causes the skin to dehydrate and the cracks will reappear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**If the skin build –up is excessive, removal by a podiatrist is very helpful 
before starting your program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;** Tip: If the crack is recent , use “ Superglue” from your local hardware 
store to glue it together …it really does help, a bit like suturing a wound . 
!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ongoing use of the &lt;b&gt;P.S. HEELS&lt;/b&gt; heel balm will prevent the condition recurring.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the problems of compounding an effective heel balm is to achieve 
efficacy but at the same time to make them cosmetically acceptable. &lt;b&gt;P.S. HEELS&lt;/b&gt; 
contains Medial an, a highly purified medically approved lanolin as well as 25 % 
urea in a non-greasy base. In addition, 2% tea-tree oil was added as it has 
powerful antiseptic properties, antifungal and antibacterial effects and 
improves healing of wounds. In addition it has a pleasant fragrance and has 
natural preservative qualities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;P.S. HEELS&lt;/b&gt; is Dermatologically tested and approved for allergenicity and 
irritancy.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Diabetes and Feet</title>
<link>http://www.dephend.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=1</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Dr Robert Weiss, MBBCh , FC Derm - Dermatologist&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Diabetes can affect the feet in a number of ways. While most non-diabetics 
frequently have problems, the consequences of poor foot care in diabetics may 
lead to complications and even amputation of the limb.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;There are essentially two main problems: &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;1. Nerve related ( called a neuropathy)&lt;br&gt;
2. Blood vessel related or circulation related&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1. Nerve damage:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Diabetes causes damage to the small nerves supplying the feet, a condition 
known as peripheral neuropathy. This reduces the ability to feel pain, pressure 
or temperature. As a result , diabetics may not notice early damage from foot 
injuries e.g. , a blister, cut or ulcer. In addition nerve damage results in 
changes to the shape of the bones and leads to changes in the shape of the foot 
so footwear may not fit well. &lt;br&gt;
Nerve damage may be indicated by any of the following symptoms:&lt;br&gt;
• painful feet or shooting pains&lt;br&gt;
• numbness of the feet&lt;br&gt;
• burning feet especially the soles, often noticed at night&lt;br&gt;
• pins and needles&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;2. Poor circulation:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Changes in the arteries such as hardening, and blockages in small blood 
vessels result in poor blood supply to the feet. This may result in the feet 
feeling cold, pain on walking and painful feet at night. Poor healing is also a 
result of bad circulation.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What are the consequences?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
* Damage to the foot may occur from minor trauma such as ill fitting shoes, poor 
nail care, minor infections such as athletes foot or poor hygiene.&lt;br&gt;
* Foot ulcers are common and difficult to heal&lt;br&gt;
* Infections may spread quickly , and gangrene may even result in amputation of 
toes or limbs&lt;br&gt;
*Skin changes may occur making the feet dry . As a result they may crack more 
easily &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to look after your feet:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
• Wash your feet daily and dry them carefully especially between the toes&lt;br&gt;
• Keep your toenails well trimmed. Have them cut by a podiatrist who knows how 
to prevent ingrown toenails ( Cut straight across and not curved at the ends)
&lt;br&gt;
• Avoid ill-fitting shoes.&lt;br&gt;
• Treat corns and calluses early - preferably have them seen by a podiatrist&lt;br&gt;
• Check your feet daily for any injuries&lt;br&gt;
• Use moisturisers daily . Heel balms such as P.S HEELS help to prevent dryness 
and the tea – tree oil reduces infection.&lt;br&gt;
• Exercise regularly to improve circulation. Massage helps those who are not 
mobile.&lt;br&gt;
• Avoid hot water bottles and warmers to warm up feet they often cause ulcers. 
Rather massage them and wear soft socks and warm footwear. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
