These naturally occurring lipids include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine, as well as linoleic and linolenic fatty acids, and are encapsulated in nanometer-size liposomes for complete intestinal absorption. EPL plays a role in cellular energy production, intracellular communication, and in maintaining cell membrane fluidity and integrity. EPL is involved in enzymatic processes that are a crucial part of cholesterol metabolism, transportation and elimination, and numerous clinical trials have confirmed that it supports blood lipids within normal levels. EPL may potentially support healthy platelet aggregation, cardiovascular health, peripheral brain circulation and exercise tolerance. LipoPhos Forte is beneficial for the proper functioning of heart & vessels. It contains beneficial substance (essential phospholipids) that maintains the cellular functions & proper blood circulation.

It is a conservative surgical technique of arthroplasty of the hip. In this the diseased surface of the head of femur is replaced with a cobalt chromium cap retaining all the healthy bone. The lining of the acetabulam is also replaced with the cobalt chromium cup. This mimics the natural hip closely and has near normal biomechanics, load transfer and range of movement at the hip joint. This surgery is performed under General Anaesthesia.

Though success largely depends on the extent of injury, flap surgery has greatly improved a surgeon's ability to help a severely injured or disfigured patient. Using advanced techniques that may take hours to perform and that may require the use of an operating microscope, plastic surgeons can transplant large sections of tissue, muscle, or bone from one area of the body to another with the original blood supply intact. The surgeons at The Metropolitan Institute for Plastic Surgery have successfully used flap surgery to restore form and function to areas of the body that have lost skin, fat, muscle movement, and/or skeletal support. If you have been severely injured in an accident or have genetic disfigurement or defects from surgery that have caused the loss of skin, fat, muscle, and or skeletal support, you may be a good candidate for [b][url=http://www.rajkrishnan.com/]Flap surgery[/url][/b]. Though every patient and every surgery is unique, flap surgery is often used in cases where skin grafts are unsuitable or when the injury or disfigurement is extensive. In a surgery as unique and complex as flap surgery, the communication and understanding between you and your doctor are essential to a successful surgical outcome. For this reason, you will meet at length with the doctors and staff of The Metropolitan Institute for Plastic Surgery while you are planning your surgery. The doctor will examine and evaluate your injury or disfigurement and will explain in detail the possible surgical options and their results. The goal is to ensure that you understand and feel comfortable with the procedure and its potential risks and expected results.

Message: Dear Daxx; You didn't say if you are overweight. If you are and gain weight easily, you could have a condition called PCOS (POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME). Next time you see your DR. ask about it. You may have too much insulin.                                                                                  OBJOE Wed, 19 Sep 2007 19:07:30 -0400 /view_topic.php?pid=438#438 438@ Topic: Hair Loss Question- I'm Really Scared, Please Help! Message: Dear Daax, you are too young now…At around this age, hormonal changes occur which sometimes cause hair loss. As Lodd has mentioned, that falling of 100 hairs daily is normal, now, you have to find out whether your hair fall exceeds the normal rate.  If so, then immediately take measures against it so that you can stop further hair loss but please, for God’s sake, don’t use any chemical product. It will further contribute to your hair loss.  You know, I have seen my fiancé going crazy when he started losing a hell lot of hair. His hair loss was so heavy, that he was almost at the verge of getting bald. He was only 25 then. We both became so upset and distressed too.:( Then, [url=http://www.amg-us.com]hair loss herbal treatment[/url] was like a savior. It took about 2-3 weeks to stop hair loss. But it was really a hit... And around a month new hair started growing. He is looking young  again..:) Mon, 17 Sep 2007 02:29:39 -0400 /view_topic.php?pid=431#431 431@ Topic: Graviola Message: Graviola (Annona muricata), also known as soursop, is found in the Amazon jungle and some of the Caribbean islands. Graviola is a small, upright evergreen tree, 5–6 m high, with large, glossy, dark green leaves. It produces a large, heart-shaped, edible fruit that is 15–20 cm in diameter, is yellow-green in color, and has white flesh inside. Graviola is indigenous to most of the warmest tropical areas in South and North America, including the Amazon. The fruit is sold in local markets in the tropics, where it is called guanábana in Spanish-speaking countries and Graviola in Brazil. The fruit pulp is excellent for making drinks and sherbets and, though slightly sour-acid, can be eaten out of hand. Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:41:17 -0400 /view_topic.php?pid=421#421 421@ Topic: Urolithasis Message: Commonly called kidney stones, [url=http://www.homeherb.com/moresupplements/s229/urolithasis.htm]Urolithasis[/url] means stones in the urinary tract. These stones occur four times more often in men than women. The pain of having a stone has been compared to that of childbirth. The stones can be made of calcium, uric acid, oxalate, struvite, or cystine. Crystals that form in urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney can form stones in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), the ureter, or the bladder. These stones may contain various combinations of minerals and other chemicals, some of which are derived from a person's diet. Gallstones are produced in the gallbladder and are different from those formed in the urinary tract.Although obstruction of the urinary tract often occurs, it is usually temporary and causes no lasting damage. In some cases, however, particularly if the obstruction progresses silently, infection may occur, which can be serious and which warrants prompt attention Mon, 20 Aug 2007 23:47:25 -0400 /view_topic.php?pid=418#418 418@ Topic: calcium kidney stones and high uric acid Message: my 28 y/o athletic son recently passed a kidney stone (calcium) and continues to be forming many more.  recent labs indicate high calcium, creatinine, and uric acid levels.  allopurinol started to prevent gout.  c-xray recently ordered.   ??why??

My hands and feet feel like I've been stung by a bee several times. I have all over red blotchiness on my body but not a raised rash.I don't have a fever or other symptoms, although I was feeling really tired yesterday and last week I had a mild cold with fever for one day. I've never had an allergic reaction before to anything so I am worried this is more than an allergic reaction.I am 6 months pregnant, which makes me even more worried. I've been to a doctor here, but Jakarta doctors are not well known for being right - the doctor prescribed an antihistamine (Claritin) but said it could take days to work.Is there any chance it is something other than an allergy?
