[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

This is a recipe that I came up with a couple of years ago that I love to make in the fall. All you need are pumpkin seeds, butter (or margerine), and popcorn seasoning. I buy my popcorn seasoning from my local bulk food store where they have several different flavors such as smokey bacon, dill pickle and sour cream.

BioCer Entwicklungs GmbH, a Bayreuth, Germany-based medical device manufacturer, are pleased to announce the CE approval of HaemoCer(TM), an Absorbable Polysaccharide Hemostat (APH). Introduction of HaemoCer(TM) APH will commence December 2010 in the European Union and other selected international markets.

HaemoCer(TM) is an absorbable, surgical hemostatic technology created via a Polysacharide Ultra-hydrophilic Resorbable Engineering (PURE) process. PURE processing utilizes sophisticated, plant-based polymer crosslinking that creates ultra-hydrophilic, biocompatible, polysaccharide compounds. The PURE technology format of HaemoCer(TM) is a powder; alternate novel product formats are planned for release Q2 2011. A family of customized, single-use application instruments will enhance the delivery of HaemoCer(TM) particles to the wound site for the control of capillary, venous and arteriolar bleeding in both open and minimally invasive surgical procedures. There is no thrombin, collagen, or other human or animal components in HaemoCer(TM) particles.
