The summer of 2009 is fast approaching and with that, the demand for air conditioners. Portable air conditioners (mobile air conditioners) have become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. While most people spend their time in only 1 or 2 rooms of a home, the costs associated with cooling the entire house can be prohibitive. Not all air conditioners are listed by consumer research . However, that does not mean that the other’s are not quality, simply that they are not discussed.
Portable air conditioners come in different energy capacities. A 7,500 BTU portable air conditioner can comfortably cool a room up to 200 sq ft. while a 13,000 BTU air conditioner will cool over 400 sq. ft. All portable air conditioners I reviewed include a window kit which simplifies the setup, allowing the air conditioner to be used almost immediately upon delivery.
It makes little sense to cool an entire home with central air when you can cool 1 or 2 rooms with a portable room air conditioner or room air cooler. Most portable air conditioners, like those manufactured by Soleus Air or Sunpentown, have wheels which allow them to be transported from one room to the other. Mobile air conditioners are great for home offices or for senior citizens who are on a tight budget.
In addition to cooling your room down to 61 degrees, portable air conditioners also dehumidify the air at the same time. Some units are capable or removing up to 65 pints (8 gallons) of water per day from the air. You may be able to use your portable air conditioner during the winter, if you purchase one that has a built in heater.
The Soleus Air- LX-140 is a 14,000 BTU remote controlled air conditioner which has a dehumidifier and built in heater -all in 1 unit. This unit retails for $799 but we found it priced at a discount for $589 at www.eHealthSupplies.com, with free shipping. Let expensive units , such as the Sunpentown WA-7500 (7500 BTU) can cool up to 200 sq. ft for less than $375. In all, eHealthSupplies.com has 31 different unit to choose from. If you have any questions, their live customer support person can help you choose which portable air conditioner is best for you. Good Luck!

In June, 1908- there was a mysterious blast in the Tunguska region, in the Siberian plateau. Most Scientists believe this blast was from a meteor burning up in the earth’s atmosphere, just prior to hitting planet earth. One hundred years later, many are realizing the health benefits from this event. Plant life near the epicenter of Tunguska is prospering. Did these plants have some unique ability to adapt and survive after enormous environmental stressors? Are there other species of plant herbs which possess the same ability? The ability to adapt to stress? If so- how can they help human health?
Wikipedia states: “In 1947, Nikolai Lazarev defined an adaptogen as an agent that allows the body to counter adverse physical, chemical, or biological stressors by raising nonspecific resistance toward such stress, thus allowing the organism to “adapt” to the stressful circumstances.
Human stress is a well known cause of disease. Adaptogens are believed to help your body adapt to the stresses faced throughout the day. Adaptation is a major way the body fights disease causing stress.
Herbal adaptogens have been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Diseases and conditions caused or made worse with stress include: Angina, asthma, cancer, heart disease, common cold, depression and anxiety, overweight, diabetes, tension headaches , hypertension , weakened immune suppression, Irritable bowel disease, heartburn and ulcer.
Most adaptogens fall into the following categories-
Ayurvedic Herbs:
- Amla
- Ashwagandha or Indian Winter Cherry (Withania somnifera)
- Guduchi
- Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum),
- Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
- Shatavari
- Shilajit
Chinese Herbs:
- Asian Ginseng (Panax ginseng)
- Korean Red Ginseng (Asian Red Ginseng)
- Astragalus(Astragalus Membranaceus)
- Codonopsis
- Cordyceps
- He Shou Wu (Fo-ti)
- Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus)
- Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis)
- Goji Wolfberry (Lycium Barbarum)
- Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)
- Chinese Magnolia Vine (Schizandra Chinensis)
- Jiaogulan (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum)
- Shilajit (Asphaltum)
- Prince Seng
- Schisandra
European Herbs:
- Russian Mountain Ash (Sorbus Aucuparia)
- Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus Obliquus)
Western Herbs
- American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)
- Rhaponticum
- Manchurian Thorn Tree (Aralia Mandchurica)
- Golden Root (Rhodiola Rosea)
All Adaptogens are herbs, but not all herbs are adaptogens. Adaptogens have the following qualities-
1. It must be non-toxic
2. It must have an overall normalizing effect, improving all kinds of conditions and aggravating none.
3. It must increase the body’s resistance to adverse influences, not by a specific action but by a wide range of physical, chemical, and biochemical factors.
There are many ways to increase the amount of adaptogens in your life. From the chart below, we see that pills have the least absorption while sprays have the most. TunguskaMist, an oral spray with adaptogens, has maximal absorption. There are spray specifically formulated for various needs. TunguskaMist has formulated adaptogens for insomonia, immune strengthening, virility and more.

The heavily marketed energy drinks are all similar. Monster, Full Throttle and various other brands may have similar effects. In addition, I have had a few patients develop irregular heart rates after drinking energy drinks. Both went to the ER for atrial fibrillation and they were instructed to stop drinking the energy drinks. They had no further episodes of the irregular heart rate…. (Warning Labels on Red Bull?)

CANBERRA (Reuters) – Just one can of the popular stimulant energy drink Red Bull can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, even in young people, Australian medical researchers said on Friday.
The caffeine-loaded beverage, popular with university students and adrenaline sport fans to give them “wings”, caused the blood to become sticky, a pre-cursor to cardiovascular problems such as stroke.
“One hour after they drank Red Bull, (their blood systems) were no longer normal. They were abnormal like we would expect in a patient with cardiovascular disease,” Scott Willoughby, lead researcher from the Cardiovascular Research Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, told the Australian newspaper.
Red Bull Australia spokeswoman Linda Rychter said the report would be assessed by the company’s head office in Austria.
“The study does not show effects which would go beyond that of drinking a cup of coffee. Therefore, the reported results were to be expected and lie within the normal physiological range,” Rychter told Reuters.
Willoughby and his team tested the cardiovascular systems of 30 young adults one hour before and one hour after consuming one 250ml can of sugar-free Red Bull..….read rest of story..
