Advances in HIV/AIDS Cure

The prospects for a cure now look brighter because of technological and medical advances.

Toulon, France, September 26, 2011 -- To this day, the "Berlin Patient" is believed to be the only person to ever be cured of HIV, and that cure was basically stumbled upon-a cure by serendipity, if you will. What was originally a transplant to treat HIV-related leukemia turned into a complete cure for HIV. It took many in the HIV research community by surprise and gave them hope that a more practical cure could eventually be found. That leads us to the following question: What type of cure would be more practical? A sterilizing cure-that is the complete eradication of HIV from the body-would be ideal, but may not be a realistic goal. Therefore, a functional cure-reducing the HIV viral load in the body to a level that keeps it in check permanently-seems to be more practical at this point.

The prospects for a cure now look brighter because of technological and medical advances. The proposed "cures" of the past failed in one way or another, primarily because there was a fatal flaw somewhere that failed to prevent the virus from replicating. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is one such method used. Using a combination of different antiretroviral medications, these medications interacted with each other to stop the virus at various points of its life cycle. While it reduced the HIV in the body to undetectable levels, the flaw emerged when people stopped taking the drugs.

Once they stopped treatment, the virus began replicating again in earnest; it was able to do this because of HIV reservoirs, or pockets of cells within the body where HIV lies dormant during HAART. HIV can remain dormant in these reservoirs for decades-especially since the reservoirs have a half-life of over 70 years. Cracking these reservoirs and somehow eradicating the virus within is the key to finding a functional cure for HIV.

The Berlin Patient taught the HIV research community that looking into people with the CCR5 mutation in their T-cells. These people are the small percentage of humans in the world who are naturally resistant to HIV. Bone marrow from a person with the CCR5 mutation was used in the Berlin Patient transplant, which is why research into the mutation has so much upside. Replicating this mutation on a wider scale could be the key to finding a cure. Furthermore, developing an entirely different strategy to deal with cell-to-cell transmission of HIV within the body is also on the agenda. The current antiretroviral medications are very effective at stopping HIV transmission through the bloodstream from cell to cell, but direct cell-to-cell transmission is something entirely different.

AAA reports on forestry bond support

Environmentalists are calling for the creation of more forestry bonds in order to help raise the cash needed to reduce deforestation by half by 2020, according to reports from Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Boston, MA, USA, September 23, 2011 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) is supporting calls for the creation of more forestry bonds in order to help raise the cash needed to reduce deforestation by half by 2020.

According to organizations such as WWF, the Global Canopy Programme and the Climate Bonds Initiative, the creation of a greater number of forestry bonds, which would drive investment into the forestry sector, will help reduce climate change. They claim that $30 billion of investment each year will help to halve deforestation and safeguard the carbon absorption capabilities of the world's forested land.

Climate Bonds Initiative chairman, Sean Kidney, told BusinessGreen that providing the bonds offered have the potential to generate healthy returns, investors will flock to them: "If you offer investors an AA-rated forest bond or an AA-rated oil bond, most of them will take the green option. You have to remember that 19 of the 20 largest pension funds are public sector funds and they're concerned about climate," he said.

AAA is an analysis and advocacy group that backs alternative investments of all kinds, with a focus on ethical and environmentally sound options. It claims there are already several successful investment opportunities that drive cash towards forestry and increase the amount of forested land in their areas of operation.

Greenwood Management, for example, invites investors to buy up areas of land in Brazil that are planted with non-native trees for eventual use as charcoal in the local steel industry and for export. AAA claims that these kinds of projects help the Brazilian government to impose legislation that outlaws the logging of native trees.

The campaigners are calling for focus to be put on the creation of forestry bonds during the meeting of climate negotiators scheduled for the Durban climate talks in November. AAA’s analysis partner Anthony Johnson spoke out in support of the campaigners, saying, “Forestry bonds make perfect sense, particularly in the current economic climate where investors are desperately searching for alternative asset classes to diversity their investment portfolios.”

About Alternative Asset Analysis:
The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

IAPAM Links Medical Spa Growth to Demand for Physician Botox ® Training

The IAPAM has identified a correlation between the increase in physicians engaging in the IAPAM’s comprehensive, hands-on Botox ® Training, and the significant growth in botox ® and dermal filler procedures.

Las Vegas, NV, September 23, 2011 -- The market research group, Global Industry Analysts, projects that the 70 million baby boomers, "seeking to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay," will significantly impact the US market for aesthetic anti-aging treatments, including Botox ® and dermal fillers. The market for these age defying products or treatments is currently estimated at $80 billion, and Global Industry Analysts predicts it will balloon to more than $114 billion by the year 2015. To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities and medical weight loss treatments, are best positioned to grow their healthcare businesses.

The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.AestheticMedicineSymposium.com/botoxtraining.html) is a weekend of comprehensive Botox ® training as well as dermal filler training, laser training, medical grade chemical peel training, medical microdermabrasion training, and hCG training (http://www.hcgtraining.com), and is the only multi-day, hands-on symposium, to offer education for physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice.

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM, concurs with the findings of Global Industry Analysts' research. "We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like cosmetic injectables, medically supervised hCG for weight loss, as well as microdermabrasion and chemical peels are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our cornerstone training program, the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), has dramatically increased in the last 9 months. We have sold out every session in 2011. Physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox ® treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians on how to package these treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes."

The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in training in the top 5 minimally invasive procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned cosmetic dermatologists, who cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the IAPAM's Botox ® training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility, not a hotel room chair.

For more information on the next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or the hCG/Physician Weight Loss Training, or to register (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/registration) for a session, please see http://www.iapam.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704.

Increased Attacks on Government Installations Driving European DAST Market

RadiantBrands Launches MyHealthHerbals.com Brand an Ecommerce Site for Herbal Supplements

Berkeley Creative Agency Designs and Launches New Products and E-commerce Web Site Designed to Appeal to Consumers Seeking Alternative Remedies.

BERKELEY, Calif. (September 21, 2011) -- RadiantBrands (http://www.radiantbrands.com), a full-service creative branding and design agency, has just completed the launch of MyHealthHerbals (http://www.myhealthherbals.com), a new e-commerce destination offering high-quality herbal products direct to consumers. The new MyHealthHerbals brand of products features herbal remedies based on Traditional Chinese Medicine combined with Western research, specifically formulated to address conditions involving joint health, poor digestion, low energy, and women’s health.

Health Concerns, which markets herbal remedies based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western research to alternative health care professionals, asked RadiantBrands to help them name and brand a new line of natural health products for consumers. The RadiantBrands team researched the herbal supplements market, looking at online marketing strategies and product positioning. They learned that customers who gravitate toward alternative medicines are concerned about taking personal charge of their health. After extensive online and consumer research, RadiantBrands hit upon MyHealthHerbals, a unique brand name that includes three of the most commonly searched terms on the Web for those seeking herbal remedies.

RadiantBrands also was responsible for developing a new brand identity for the MyHealthHerbals line of products. Since the market for natural remedies is quite crowded, RadiantBrands decided to create a brand that would stand out from the crowd by communicating high quality through visual design and how MyHealthHerbals uses standard manufacturing techniques that ensure consistent quality and maximum effectiveness. They also leveraged the expertise and high profile of company founder Andrew Gaeddert, a renowned herbalist and author. The firm also developed new brand names for the line’s products, including FlexBend™ for joint pain, Spruce Balance™ for women’s hormonal health, and Engesta™ for food intolerance.

To complete the project, RadiantBrands developed a new e-commerce site that captured the new brand, and presented the line of 15 herbal products by category of condition. The site was optimized for search and made easily viewable on mobile devices and smartphones, serving as the focal point for a new web marketing campaign.

“We love this kind of project because it extends beyond brand development to actually bringing the brand to market,” said Steven Donaldson, co-founder of RadiantBrands. “We not only get to create a new brand, but then deliver that brand to customers, building traffic for the new e-commerce destination, and actually gauging the impact of our work.”
