Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 For those interested in hearing about one of the only anti-aging patented products on the market today, please contact me directly at melissa.nodvin@.... For those that are familiar with the research of Dr. Seidman, you will be very interested in hearing more about his research and how his vision is changing the natural-based approach to wellness. Being a registered dietitian for over 16 years, we all know about the importance of sound clinical research, especially when we are researching something for our clients or ourselves. As well, as a colleague, I would really like your feedback. The listserv groups have really enhanced my ability to decipher through the extensive amount of information being discussed daily. I don't know about you but I would never have enough time in the day to know what is happening out there. So with that said, thank you to everyone that enjoys these groups and the honest feedback they provide. Contact me today if you are interested in hearing more about Dr. Seidman and his phenomenal research. Plus, you may learn something new! S. Nodvin, MS., RD., LD.

The executive editor holds in PhD (in what, i cant say). There is also a scientific advisory board consisting of MDs, PhDs, and MPH. I find that this publication sheds light on alot of products that common America mindlessly consumes. Each issues also has a nice list of " best bite " products vs not so good products (ranked according to sat fat, Na+)...i find that this list helps me when pts need specific brand names. As far as the Airborne products goes, I dont have one in hand nor did I look into it before replying to this message, but if I recall correctly, it contains quite a bit of vitamin A ( & herbs) that I would not recommend to the pregnant women that I counsel...I have taken it once and admit, I thought it may have helped, cant say for sure. I have friends who swear by it too?!
