This is the first issue of News & Deals since March, but that's not because there wasn't anything new around here. On the contrary, there have been several exciting changes and more are on the way...

The biggest news is that we are thrilled to have become an authorized distributor for the DPL™ Therapy System. This infrared photo rejuvenation light has many advantages over the hand-held unit that we used to carry. In our opinion, the most important differences are:

1. The number of lamps: The DPL™ light has 174 LED lamps. The hand-held unit has only 72.
2. Light wavelengths: The DPL™ has 154 infrared lamps. The hand-held unit has only 36 infrared.
3. Treatment time: Treatment time for the whole face is nine minutes with the DPL™. The recommended treatment time for the hand-held unit is 2-4 minutes per area, and since the diameter of the light is only 2 1/2 inches it takes 1/2 to one hour to treat the whole face.
4. Results: Since results will only be achieved with regular use, the difference in treatment time can be a critical factor for busy people. I've used both lights and have experienced faster and more substantial results with the DPL™ System.

Questions & Answers

Q. Is infrared LED light safe for extremely sensitive skin?
A. I have rosacea and VERY sensitive skin. I found that the DPL™ System is so powerful that I needed to reduce my treatments to 4-5 minutes to prevent a flare-up. I also found it helps to apply a damp cloth to my skin after each treatment. And be sure to start with clean skin...lotions could heat up and cause a problem. Every other anti-aging treatment I've tried has caused my rosacea to flare up, so I'm EXTREMELY happy that I have finally found a skin rejuvenation system that I can use, with minor modifications, without creating breakouts, redness, roughness, and other problems that plague those of us with sensitive skin.

Q. How long will I have to use the DPL™ Therapy System before I see results?
A. Many people notice results quickly, some in as little as a few days. However, each person responds at different rates and many take much longer to see results. Factors that influence results include various physical conditions, age, skin condition, diet, alcohol consumption, prescription drug usage, smoking, exercise, and others.

Pucker Up With The Amazing Grapefruit

Researchers in Israel recently found that red and white grapefruit contain powerful antioxidants that may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Published in the Feb '06 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists found that serving heart by-pass patients the equivalent of one grapefruit a day significantly reduced cholesterol levels. The study included 57 patients, both men and women, who recently had coronary bypass surgery and failed to respond to cholesterol-lowering medication. Red grapefruit was especially effective, reducing cholesterol by 15 per cent and triglycerides (a type of fat that increases the risk of heart disease) by 17 per cent.

Another recent study conducted by researchers at UCLA and Zhongshan University in China discovered that Naringenin, a beneficial plant compound in grapefruit, helped repair damaged genetic material (DNA) in human prostate cancer cells. DNA repair is an important factor in cancer prevention since it stops cancer cells from multiplying. The research was published in the Feb '06 issue of the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. Scientists noted that DNA repair by Naringenin might contribute to the cancer-fighting effects associated with a diet high in fruits and vegetables.

And, a study published in the Mar '06 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Food supports the long-held belief that grapefruit is useful in weightloss. Dr. Ken Fujioka from Scripps Clinic in San Diego conducted a 12-week study of 100 obese men and women and found that consuming one-half grapefruit before meals resulted in an average weight loss of 3.6 pounds, with some participants losing up to 10 pounds. Individuals who ate the grapefruit had significantly lower levels of insulin in their blood, which the researchers speculate resulted in the weight loss. The smaller the amount of insulin in the blood after a meal, the more efficiently the body uses food for energy rather than storing it as fat. The researchers further speculated that a natural plant compound in grapefruit, not the fiber content, was responsible for the weight loss since those who consumed grapefruit juice also lost weight despite the lack of fiber.
