Doctor Donates Thousands Of Flu Shots - Needs Votes To Do More

Sat, 25 Dec 2010 14:09:57 +0000

Determined to provide free flu shots to the needy, Michigan physician seeks 100,000 votes in one day to win grant

/EINPresswire.com/ ROYAL OAK, MI (December 23, 2010) - Dr. M. George of the Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group (BROMG) is well known for providing free flu shots for the past thirteen years to more than 28,000 people in his community at a cost of $300,000 to his clinic. He also provides free Doctor visits for the unemployed and the uninsured. Now, Doc George, as he is known, is asking for help to win a Pepsi Refresh Grant of $25,000 to pay for more flu vaccine.

For the first time in thirteen years, during the Drive Thru Flu Shot Charity event, where donations of winter coats are exchanged for free flu shots, Dr. George charged $10 to help cover the costs of the vaccine. "Our community has been hurt by the economy and turnout was very low," says George, "fewer families were protected from the flu this year and our charities received fewer donations." Determined to give free flu shots, Doc George entered the Pepsi Refresh Project, where online votes and text votes determine grant winners.

Securing the thousands of votes needed to win is a challenge during the holidays, prompting several organizations to form an alliance they call Vote For Kid's Health, to help each other into the winners circle. Their mission is To Put Kids First by calling for a massive one-day voting spree, counting on the generosity of strangers to get 100,000 votes in one day. Dr. George and his partners are requesting people to vote online and by text, then to donate their Twitter and Facebook status to Vote For Kids Health on Thursday, 12/23/10 and again on 12/30/10 during the big Holiday Vote Blast of 2010.

Vote for Dr. George at www.refresheverything.com/FREEFLUSHOTS and by texting 104303 to 73774 (PEPSI) To vote for Doc George's partners find an easy voting page at www.voteforkidshealth.org. The Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group provides walk-in urgent care and family medicine and has served the community for twenty-three years.

1000's of Real Life Tiny Tims Need Christmas Miracle of 100,000 Votes to Win Grants In Pepsi Refresh

Sat, 25 Dec 2010 14:06:28 +0000

/EINPresswire.com/ People across the country are voting by text and on-line to help 1000's of critically ill, disabled and disadvantaged children in grant contest.

It's that time of year where sugarplums dance in the heads of children and little boys and girls write letters to the North Pole, asking for Santa Clause to make their holiday wishes come true. It's the time of year when we cry watching the town of Bedford Falls rally round George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life" and when little sick and disabled, Tiny Tim says "God bless us, everyone" with concern for everyone but himself. It's the time of year when miracles happen, when the best in humanity shines. The holiday season is full of hope and magic, especially for children.

This Christmas, 10 groups across the country in Vote for Kids Health are working hard to keep that hope and magic alive for critically ill, disabled and needy children.

Dawn Williamson of CHERUBS based in Wake Forest, NC tells us about a family that their charity knows is in need this holiday; "Baby James was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and is part of the 50% of babies that survive CDH, deadly birth defect of the diaphragm and lungs that harms 1600 babies a year in the U.S. At 11 months old and still in the hospital this Christmas, James is alert and playful but breathes with the help of a ventilator through a trach. His mother, Melissa, shuffles between the hospital to be with James and his older brother at home. CHERUBS hopes to help James' family, and 500 other families by providing funds to help parents like Melissa with much needed gas and food money so that she can afford to take care of both her sons".

You can vote for CHERUBS at http://www.refresheverything.com/cdhfamilies or by texting 101202 to 73774 (Pepsi) and join a dozen celebrities to post on-line and tweet asking others to vote every day until the end of the month.

1000's of people are banning together to vote and get others to vote to raise money in the Pepsi Refresh contest. The spirit of the season has implored them to not only help their own causes but to reach out to each other to collectively help all the children and they are reaching out to the public to help as well just by voting. Supporters of all 10 charities have caught the holiday spirit this week, posting 1000's of Facebook comments and Twitter tweets in support of voting and changing their on-line profile photographs to try to collect 100,000 on Thursday for the charities. The 10 charities help many children's causes including childhood poverty, autism, cancer, congenital CMV, CDH, hearing impairment, blindness, inclusion for the handicapped, prematurity and more.

The needs of these children and the holiday spirit have even implored many celebrities to join in on Twitter to ask for votes for these charities, including Justin Beiber, Clay Aiken, Sinbad, Khloe Kardashian, Brody Jenner, Cheryl Burke, LeAann Rimes, Patsy Pease, Charles Shaughnessy and Real Housewives stars Kyle Richards, Adrienne Maloof and Simon VanKempen.

You can play Santa Clause to these children by going to http://www.voteforkidshealth.org to help 10 charities, 10 projects and 1000's of fragile children like Dicken's "Tiny Tim" this Christmas.

Eight Children's Charities Join Forces - Calling For Massive One-Day Holiday Vote Blast

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 13:57:02 +0000

Hopes for a Holiday miracle to "Put Kids First" pinned on getting 100,000 votes in one day

Critically ill and disadvantaged children are counting on the generosity of strangers Thursday, December 23, 2010, asking for 100,000 votes to help win their grant ideas in the December Pepsi Refresh Project. Securing the thousands of votes needed to finish in winning spots is an uphill challenge for many organizations, but eight enterprising charities have joined forces to help each other into the winners circle.

Driven to fund research projects to discover a cure, treatment and support, they formed an alliance known as Vote For Kids Health. "We want to Put Kid's First this month," says Dawn Williamson of CHERUBS - Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). "By creating a unified voting block, we've been able to tap into a larger network of caring people committed to helping us win much needed funds," says Williamson.

The group is calling for a massive one-day Holiday Vote Blast to bring in 100,000 votes the Thursday before Christmas, 12/23/10 and again on Thursday, 12/30/10. Concerned that the busy holiday season may affect the voting process, Vote For Kid's Health is reaching out to Americans everywhere for a little help. "All we are asking is that people take a minute and vote for us on the next two Thursdays and help us spread the word with their friends and family," says Williamson.

Vote For Kid's Health includes the Brendan B. McGinnis Congenital CMV Foundation, a common virus which causes birth defects, Ella's Hope for Early Intervention therapy for autism, John Tracy Clinic, a school for deaf children, MedZou Community Health Clinic, a free clinic for the uninsured, Birmingham Royal Oak Medical Group to provide free flu shots to the needy, Shoes 4 The Shoeless providing properly fitting shoes, National Inclusion Project, Inc. for kids with disabilities, and CHERUBS, helping critically ill babies born with CDH.

Congress Looks to Tax Bottled Water

Tue, 11 May 2010 14:22:16 +0000

May 11, 2010 - Rep. Earl Blumenauer has one solution for helping to pay for infrastructure changes to the nation's water systems: tax bottled water.

The Oregon Democrat has introduced legislation that would raise $10 billion annually through a tax on bottlers. The proposed tax would be four cents per bottle of water.

A survey by the EPA states that over the next 20 years the US water systems are in line for $335 billion in repairs. However, representatives from the beverage industry feel as if bottled-water companies are being unfairly targeted when there are other industries that rely much more on public water than they do.

Obama's Healthcare Debate and Dr. Chao's 8 Herbal Ounces of Prevention

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:42:13 +0000

CLAREMONT, Calif., Oct. 1 /EIN Presswire/ -- President Obama's healthcare reform effort dominates American news.

From raucous meetings to Sen. Max Baucus' suggested legislation, front-page stories, headlines, op-eds, talk radio, TV talking heads and blogs chronicle and wrangle over proposals to change America's medical insurance. Republicans fight Democrats, liberals battle conservatives.

U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson interrupts the President during a joint session of Congress and "teabagger" protesters denounce Obama for plotting "death panels" and big government takeover of America's healthcare. Progressives endorse single payer, while the public option, a co-op plan, doing nothing at all, etc., are debated.
Amidst all this sound and fury something crucial is overlooked: prevention. One commentator who hasn't neglected this essential factor is comedian Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time." During the presidential race Maher observed on his cable TV program, "none of the [candidates'] plans address the real problem. We won't stop being sick until we stop making ourselves sick. Because there is a point where even the most universal government health program can't help you. They can't outlaw unhealthy food or alcohol... "

Maher added, "the government isn't your nanny." Indeed, even if Washington insures everyone, individuals pursuing unhealthy lifestyles can fall ill. As Maher observed: "Fifty years ago, children didn't even get Type 2 Diabetes. Now, it's an emerging epidemic. As are a long list of ailments which used to be rare... " (A 2004 Journal of the American Medical Association report found: "Higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with ... weight gain and an increased risk for development of type 2 diabetes in women... ")

In his televised rant, Maher asserted, "diet and exercise don't fail ... [A] new Duke University study showed exercise ... is just as effective a cure for depression as Paxil and Zoloft ... [I]f Republicans can sell the idea of preemptive war, Democrats have to at least get us interested in ... preventive medicine."
The HBO humorist's notion is older than the U.S. In 18th-century colonial America Dr. Benjamin Franklin noted: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." While universal health insurance may be worthwhile, individuals must also be active participants in their own wellness, instead of passive victims complicit in their sicknesses.

The Dr. Chao Herbal Drink Line is a healthy soft drink alternative consisting of beverages that are 100% natural and vegan, without sugar, caffeine, calories, glutens, artificial sweeteners or preservatives, and which feature a variety of health benefits. It is safe to drink Dr. Chao's Herbal Beverage every day as much as you want without any limitations. The eponymous Dr. Chao refers to U.S. People Foods & Beverages Company President Ted Chao's illustrious ancestor, Baoyin Chao, a famous herbalist from Guizhou Province in Southwest China who, in the 1870s, was a sort of Asian Gregor Mendel or George Washington Carver.

Ted and his family, which includes three brothers and a sister, followed in his famous great-great-grandfather's footsteps. When Ted grew up, his family "always used the herbs for nutrition and treatment, and knew their uses very well." The family established a hospital, institute, clinic and herbal school at Guizhou, where Ted started working in 1989 when he was 24, after graduating with a master's degree from Guiyang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guizhou's capital.

Among those who believe soda is an addictive silent killer loaded with sugar, preservatives, carbs and often caffeine responsible for much of America's obesity and diabetes epidemics is Chinese herbalist Ted Chao. Previously herbs - plants with healing properties from Mother Nature's "pharmacy" -- were consumed in tablet, pill or powder form. But drawing upon his family's herbal heritage, as well as China's 5,000-year-old medical tradition, Ted has rendered herb-based recipes into liquid form that can be consumed in eight-ounce flip top recyclable tab cans.

By 2007, Ted had come to America and was thinking how to make "the consumption of herbs more convenient for consumers." The Chinese entrepreneurial herbalist started working with the Northern California-based National Food Laboratory, which, according to its website, is "a consulting organization specializing in transforming inspiration and experience into innovative food and beverage development." Ted and the NFL looked into the best way to preserve the herb's beneficial properties while providing convenience for users. Ultimately, they hit upon the idea of liquefying the herbs, and the Dr. Chao Herbal Drink Line was born. While the actual herbs are grown in China, they are imported to the U.S.A. and are processed into soft drinks at a FDA certified beverage factory in Wisconsin that also produces V8 juice.

Doctor Baoyin Chao spent years in the mountains studying the properties of herbs, applied his knowledge to a practice that included thousands of patients and compiled a sort of herbal encyclopedia. The formulas for the Dr. Chao Herbal Drink Line are derived from this manuscript, which consists of hundreds of pages of parchment, containing handwritten recipes in Chinese characters. Ted joked that if this writer read Chinese, he would not have shown the loosely bound pages to him. Like the Kentucky Colonel's "secret recipe" for Col. Sanders' "finger lickin' good" chicken (which, by the way, includes 11 herbs and spices), Ted refuses to disclose and publish the closely guarded formulations of his forebear, a sacred family text that remains a patented trade secret.

However, in an interview at the Claremont, California headquarters of the firm he is the president of, U.S. People Foods & Beverages Company.Ted revealed the recipes, properties and benefits of the Dr. Chao Herbal Drink Line. " 'Lady Drink,' as its name implies, is designed specifically for females. This is as an anti-menstrual pain, anti-PMS, herbal detox beauty drink with anti-oxidants for removing impurities from women's internal systems," Mr. Chao explains. "Lady Drink improves facial skin. It excretes toxic substances, has anti-aging benefits, promotes blood circulation and ovarian health, regulates the endocrine system, and enhances kidney and liver functions. It also helps reduce weight and alleviates acne." USPFB's president adds that Lady Drink is made with Herba Leonuri (Motherwort Herb), Saffron, aloe and Fructus Momordicae.

"The 'Stress Reliever' alleviates symptoms caused by stress, such as headaches, insomnia, irritability and back pain," Ted explained. "It has Cordyceps [caterpillar fungus], saffron, Fructus Momordicae [Grosvenor Momordica fruit] and Herba Hyperici Japonici [St. John's Wort], Herba Houttuyniae (Heartleaf), Rubus Suavissmus (Sweet Leaf Extract), and Lavender."

The "Adult Drink," Ted said, " is similar to Viagra, but in a natural way. It's designed to increase sexual health, by stimulating the healthy production of sexual hormones and glands, and combats sexual exhaustion." The herbs in this concoction include Herba Epimedii, which, in English is called, appropriately enough, Horny Goat Weed.

According to Ted, a fourth drink named "21" will be on the market by the end of 2009 with a most practical function that could have come in handy in that popular 2009 comedy, "The Hangover": curing the effects of overdrinking. Down the road, U.S.P.F.B. plans to introduce herbal-based foods, such as "herbal ice cream, which will be as sweet as normal ice cream - but without sugar," Ted said. U.S.P.F.B. also intends to grow its own herbs here in the U.S.A. as well as to expand its distribution beyond the health and organic food stores, such as Whole Foods Market and Clarks Nutrition & Natural Foods Market, where the Dr. Chao Herbal Drinks are currently sold.

Ted's master plan is to bring the wisdom of the East to the West, in the shape of healthy soft drinks that can replace sugary, syrupy sodas and the like. "I want to introduce herbal drinks to the whole world. When the public knows the value of herb drinks, they will love it," he insisted. Although well aware that alternative beverages are obviously not the sole solution to America's medical insurance dilemmas, the Chinese herbalist believes that by being proactive in their own wellbeing and choosing to consume healthful products, Americans can avoid pitfalls such as diabetes and obesity. "Herbs can supplement healthcare," proclaimed Ted.

This great-great-grandson of a venerable Chinese herbal doctor hopes that his herbal ambrosia will have an impact similar to how the introduction of the ancient Chinese science of acupuncture affected healing practices in the Western world. If, as Ben Franklin observed, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," then as far as Ted Chao is concerned, the Dr. Chao Herbal Drink Line provides eight herbal ounces of preventive healthcare per can.
