Medical Care
No cure exists for mucopolysaccharidosis; current treatment is symptomatic and supportive. However, possible treatments are being investigated in several clinical trials.
Current therapies
In patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, treatment with recombinant human alpha-L-iduronidase reduces lysosomal storage in the liver and ameliorates some clinical manifestations of the disease.[47]
In patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, laronidase significantly improves respiratory function and physical capacity, reduces GAG storage, and has a favorable safety profile.
A Hurler syndrome fibroblast cell line heterozygous for the IDUA gene that encodes alpha-L-iduronidase stop mutations Q70X or W402X shows a significant increase in alpha-L-iduronidase activity when cultured in the presence of gentamicin, resulting in the restoration of 2.8% of the normal alpha-L-iduronidase activity.
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is the only long-lasting treatment that ameliorates or halts the aggressive course of the disease. Pulmonary hemorrhage is an unusual complication of BMT.[48]
Allogeneic hematopoietic SCT, used in severe forms of the disease, markedly prolongs survival, alleviates ventricular hypertrophy, and preserves cardiac function, but cardiac valves continue to thicken and valvular insufficiency progresses.[49]
Cell therapy with human amniotic epithelial cells was developed as an alternative method for enzyme replacement therapy in congenital lysosomal storage disorders, but only limited therapeutic efficacy has been reported. Some studies suggest that the transplantation of human amniotic epithelial cells transduced with adenoviral vectors can be used for the treatment of congenital lysosomal storage disorders. The multiple positive effects include reconstruction of the CNS.
Neonatal screening of these diseases should be mandatory to vastly improve outcomes. Plans are being implemented to use dried blood spots on filter paper, as is commonly performed for many other genetic diseases. Many new therapies are being adopted, which should enhance positivity and acceptance of treatment by hematopoietic SCT.
Many children who undergo SCT have deterioration in hearing following SCT. A high-risk group of children can be delineated who may benefit from more intensive audiologic monitoring following SCT.
For Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, BMT is the only definitive form of enzyme replacement therapy available. Umbilical cord blood transplantation has also been reported as a treatment of this syndrome.
Yasuda et al report a case report with long-term observation after hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) in a patient with mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome). HSCT at an early stage of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome) provides a marked positive impact on clinical central nervous system and skeletal manifestations, bone pathology, and GAG levels. Thus, HSCT should be a primary standard care of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome) at an early stage.[50]
Therapy with glucocorticoids, high doses of vitamin A, thyroid hormone, lidase, and growth hormone has been attempted. Glucocorticoids and a corticotropin have been used to block the synthesis of acid mucopolysaccharides. High doses of vitamin A have been used in an effort to increase the urinary excretion of mucopolysaccharides; however, the amount excreted and the clinical response have varied. Lidase is a hyaluronidase that digests mucopolysaccharides. Thyroid hormone substitution is used in patients with hypothyroidism. Some patients with mucopolysaccharidosis are shown to have growth hormone deficiency, and in these cases, growth hormone therapy may be beneficial. Symptomatic anticonvulsive therapy is indicated when epilepsy is present. The prognosis is better and therapy is more successful when treatment is started early.
Treatment with recombinant human N -acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (rhASB) is another possibility in mucopolysaccharidosis type VI. rhASB treatment reportedly was well-tolerated, and reduced lysosomal storage is evidenced by a dose-dependent reduction in urinary GAG.[51]
Flavonoids, as compounds related to genistein (an inhibitor of glycosaminoglycans [GAG] synthesis), are natural candidates for drugs that could be used to manage the neurological symptoms of mucopolysaccharidosis.
Kloska et al have tested the effects of 4 different flavonoids in assays for GAG synthesis, lysosomal structures, and phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor. Skin fibroblasts obtained from mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA and mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB patients were used in all experiments, and a human dermal fibroblasts adult cell line was used as a healthy control line. Their studies revealed that apigenin (a flavone), daidzein (an isoflavone), kaempferol (a flavonol), and naringenin (a flavanone) caused a decrease in the efficiency of GAG synthesis, although only daidzein and kaempferol caused statistically significant differences relative to untreated cells. Nevertheless, in the presence of all these compounds, lysosomal storage in mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA fibroblasts was significantly decreased. Flavonoids can be considered as potential drugs. Obviously, further tests, including those with animal models, are necessary to prove their safety for organisms.[52]
Treatments in clinical trials
No cure exists for mucopolysaccharidosis; treatment is symptomatic and supportive. However, possible treatments are being investigated in several clinical trials.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I
Laronidase (Aldurazyme) is an enzyme replacement therapy for patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, a progressive, debilitating, and fatal genetic disease for which specific drug treatments currently are available. In a press release in September 2002, BioMarin and Genzyme included clinical data from the 6-month, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of laronidase; 6 months of data from the ongoing open-label, phase 3 extension study; and 3 years of data from the phase 1 trial and extension study. Laronidase was approved in the United States in April 2003.
The study of a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial reported by Muenzer et al supports the use of weekly infusions of idursulfase in the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type II.[53] Idursulfase was generally well tolerated, but infusion reactions did occur. Idursulfase antibodies were detected in 46.9% of patients.[54, 55]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II
In a press release from October 2002, Transkaryotic Therapies Inc (TKT) reported results from a phase 1/2 study evaluating its investigational enzyme replacement therapy with I2S as a treatment of Hunter syndrome. The randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety of I2S (human I2S produced by genetic engineering technology) and its clinical activity in 12 patients with Hunter syndrome. Three doses were studied (0.15 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, and 1.5 mg/kg), and within each dose group, 3 patients were randomized to receive I2S and 1 was to receive placebo by a 60-min intravenous infusion biweekly for 6 months.
In the trial, I2S administration was generally well tolerated, and in the phase 1/2 trials, evidence of clinical activity with Hunter syndrome, including reduced cardiac mass, stabilized pulmonary function, and reduced GAG levels, was demonstrated. The most common adverse effects from I2S treatment were hives, chills, fever, and facial flushing. Only 1 of the 9 patients who were treated developed antibody to I2S.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA
Elosulfase alfa (Vimizim; BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Inc.) was approved by the FDA in February 2014 for patients with Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA [MPS IVA]). Approval was supported by a 24-week, randomized, clinical trial involving 176 patients. The primary endpoint of the trial, change in 6-minute walk distance at 24 weeks, was statistically significant in patients who received weekly elosulfase alfa 2 mg/kg IV infusions. The walking distance improved in the elosulfase alfa group with a mean increase of 22.5 meters over placebo. Walking ability was sustained in patients who continued weekly elosulfase alfa for an additional 48 weeks.[56]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI
The clinical trial of rhASB (Aryplase), an investigational enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, continues to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of weekly intravenous infusions of 1 mg/kg of rhASB in 10 patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VI. In June 2002, BioMarin Pharmaceutical announced findings from the 24-week open-label extension of the phase 1 clinical trial; the enzyme was well tolerated by all patients, and reduced urinary excretion of GAG was maintained in both treatment arms.[57]
It was confirmed in the phase 3 of the randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational study that rhASB significantly improves endurance, reduces urinary GAG excretion, and has an acceptable safety profile. After 24 weeks, patients receiving rhASB walked on average 92 meter more in the 12-minute walk test and climbed 5.7 stairs per minute more in a 3-minute stair climb test than patients receiving placebo. Urinary GAG declined by -227 ±18 mcg/mg more with rhASB than placebo. Patients exposed to the drug experienced positive clinical benefits despite the presence of antibody to the protein.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII
Emil Kakkis, MD, PhD, and William Sly, MD, have received a grant to develop enzyme replacement for mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. They are making steady progress with BioMarin Pharmaceutical, but no timeline for human clinical trials is projected.
Updated clinical trial data and recruiting
For updated clinical trial results and for trials that are completed and recruiting see ClinicalTrials.gov.
Surgical Care
Treatment is symptomatic. Orthopedic surgeries may be required for mucopolysaccharidosis types I, II, IV, VI, and VII to correct the deformities and increase patient quality of life. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy may help improve the patients' respiratory status. Other complications can be managed with myringotomy, heart-valve replacement, and decompression of the cervical spinal cord.[58]
Surgical procedures may include corneal transplantation and correction of nerve entrapments in the hands.
Correction of the contractures and osteal deformities may be performed. For patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV, cervical myelopathy should be prevented by surgery of the cervical spine.
Occipital to C3 decompression and fusion with autogenous rib grafts may be performed. The youngest patient who underwent this successful posterior cervical arthrodesis was 17-month-old boy with Sly syndrome.
Genetic counseling is of great importance to ensure prenatal diagnosis.
Mucopolysaccharidoses create a special challenge for the otolaryngologist. With the rare types of mucopolysaccharidosis type IV and mucopolysaccharidosis type I-S, a skilled practitioner is required to manage airway complications. The erratic deposits of mucopolysaccharides throughout the trachea should be taken into account when a decision is made to stent the airway. Proper management requires an airway that is custom made to meet the patient's needs.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome)
Complications include heart valve damage from thickening due to coronary artery disease, severe mental retardation, umbilical and inguinal hernia, deafness, premature death, and constipation alternating with diarrhea.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome)
Complications include airway obstruction in the late-onset form, progressive mental deterioration in the early-onset form (severe form), progressive loss of ability to perform daily living activities in the early-onset form (severe form), progressive hearing loss in both the mild and severe forms, progressive joint stiffness leading to contractures of the joints in the early-onset form (severe form), and carpal tunnel syndrome. Of the complications observed after tracheotomy, infrastomal tracheal stenosis and stomal narrowing are frequent. Intubation in children with mucopolysaccharidosis type II is more difficult (20 times more) than in other children of a similar age or weight.[59]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type III (Sanfilippo syndrome)
Complications include blindness, seizures, mental retardation, progressive neurologic disease leading to patients becoming wheelchair bound, and the inability to care for oneself.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (Morquio syndrome)
Complications include heart failure, difficulty with vision, walking problems due to abnormal curvature of the spine, and breathing problems. Abnormal neck bones can cause spinal cord damage that can result in severe disease, including paralysis, if not noticed early. Spinal fusion can prevent this complication.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome)
Complications include hearing loss, vision loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, and valvular heart disease.
Genetic counseling may be performed.
Prenatal diagnosis is possible. Amniocentesis can be performed; cells in the amniotic fluid are cultured, and the alpha-L-iduronidase activity in the cells is determined.
As determined by Altarescu et al, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a reliable method to prevent pregnancies of children affected with Hunter syndrome. In addition, they report the first ever derivation of a Hunter syndrome (46,XX) human stem cell line from embryos carrying the iduronate-2-sulfatase and oculocutaneous albinism type 2 mutations. PGD is a technique that precludes the need for pregnancy termination in cases of an affected fetus, by virtue of analysis of the 6- to 8-cell stage embryos (obtained by in vitro fertilization) and transfer of only unaffected embryos.[60]
Long-Term Monitoring
All patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I should receive a comprehensive baseline evaluation, including neurologic, ophthalmologic, auditory, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal assessments. Additionally, all patients should be monitored every 6-12 months with individualized specialty assessments, to monitor disease progression and effects of intervention. Patients are best treated by a multidisciplinary team. Treatments consist of palliative/supportive care, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and enzyme replacement therapy. The patient's age (>2 y or 2 y), predicted phenotype, and developmental quotient help define the risk-to-benefit profile for hematopoietic SCT transplantation (higher risk but can preserve CNS function) versus enzyme replacement therapy (low risk but cannot cross the blood-brain barrier).
International expert panels recommend the evaluation of ocular features at least every 12 months for patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I and mucopolysaccharidosis type VI.[30]

Patient Information from SAGES
Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy) Patient Information from SAGES
Gallbladder removal is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Gallbladder removal surgery is usually performed with minimally invasive techniques and the medical name for this procedure is "Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy". Although there are many advantages to laparoscopic gallbladder removal, the procedure may not be appropriate for some patients who have severe complicated gallbladder disease or previous upper abdominal surgery. A thorough medical evaluation by your personal physician, in consultation with a surgeon trained in laparoscopy, can determine if laparoscopic gallbladder removal is an appropriate procedure for you.
Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery Patient Information from SAGES
Approximately 600,000 inguinal or groin hernia repair operations are performed annually in the United States. Some are performed by the conventional "open" method. Some hernia repairs are performed using a small telescope known as a laparoscope. If your surgeon has recommended a hernia repair, this brochure can help you understand what a hernia is and what your treatment options are.
Laparoscopic Appendectomy Surgery Patient Information from SAGES
Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical problems. One out of every 2,000 people has an appendectomy sometime during their lifetime. Treatment requires an operation to remove the infected appendix. Traditionally, the appendix is removed through an incision in the right lower abdominal wall. In most laparoscopic appendectomies, surgeons operate through 3 small incisions (each ¼ to ½ inch) while watching an enlarged image of the patient's internal organs on a television monitor. In some cases, one of the small openings may be lengthened to complete the procedure.

The da Vinci® Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) is a computer-assisted (robotic) surgical system designed to enable and enhance minimally invasive surgery. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared computer-assisted surgical systems for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment for laparoscopic surgical procedures in general, cardiac, colorectal, gynecologic, head and neck, thoracic and urologic surgical procedures.
Joint Task Force Recommendations for Credentialing of Bariatric Surgeons
The field of bariatric surgery continues to grow, attracting surgeons with expertise in laparoscopic, gastrointestinal, and bariatric surgery. With the implicit goal of ensuring that surgeons have met minimum criteria to safely perform bariatric surgery, 3 national surgery associations — American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), American College of Surgeons (ACS), and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) — independently created credentialing guidelines to guide hospitals and institutions in the credentialing process for bariatric surgery. The guidelines were thoughtfully written to assist local credentialing committees in the evaluation of an applicant's qualifications and were not developed to become a standard of care.

the new look: summer blacks.
this look is from a few weeks ago, when the weather was perpetually stuck around 57 degrees, which is par for the course in san francisco this time of year. luckily i think we've emerged from the june gloom and into pre-summer, where it hovers in the low 70s. i just keep reminding myself that in a week's time i'll be on the east coast and probably wearing cutoffs and hopefully enjoying a cone.

currently coveting: perfectly suited.
the haute couture shows ended a week and a half ago, and in the vein of bill cunningham, i was more intrigued by what i saw outside of the shows than inside (for the record, my favorite show was dior). one thing i picked up on was women taking suits or suiting pieces and dressing them down, either with simple tees or graphics, ankle booties, or loafers. i especially love the look 4th from the bottom—slim tuxedo pants paired with a slouchy cardigan. it could look sloppy or dowdy, but it's all in the proportion, accessories and attitude.
what's been inspiring you style-wise recently?

the new look: paris meets san francisco.
eco-fashion has gotten a bad rep. stereotypes abound that the eco friendly clothing is too granola or too expensive, but if you just do a bit more digging, you can uncover a hidden gem. i have been to amour vert's pop-up shop on fillmore street in my neighborhood a bunch of times, and have scooped up their super soft striped tees. i knew the line used organic fabrics, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago when i attended a summer shopping event at the hayes valley boutique that i learned more about the brand and how much they are doing to change the face of sustainable fashion.
i had a chance to chat with founder linda balti about how the line came to be, and it started as a girl who always loved fashion. but instead of studying fashion design, she majored in computer science and made flight simulators. she met her husband (now ceo of the company), who developed a product to clear land mines, at a tradeshow. so neither one of them were in typical creative fields. balti still dreamed of fashion, but she also learned about the immense waste the fashion industry produces. when she wanted to start buying eco-friendly brands, she found what i mentioned above—options that weren't in line with her taste or out of her budget. so while her husband was getting his mba at stanford, she started amour vert (green love in french) in 2009 with a capsule collection and a simple idea—buy a tee, plant a tree. now the company is headquartered in dogpatch, with items made in oakland and san francisco. the clothing is made of varied fabrics including indian silk, bamboo, polyester made from soda bottles, tencel & modal made from trees and ones she has developed in house. balti and her team take a sustainable approach to everything they do, from using ocean freight to biodegradable bags and paper to vegetable dyes.
balti's french sense of style definitely comes through in what you'll find in the line—loads of striped tees, tanks, and dresses, but also watercolor print dresses, dotted culottes, crisp shirting, knit jackets, and elegant skirts, like this wrap one. my friend lindsay was wearing it when i showed up at the event and i immediately needed to try it on. the wrap silhouette is so flattering; women of all sizes tried it on at the event and they all looked great in it. it could be worn in the winter with tights and boots, to the office, or at the beach wrapped over a sleek one-piece.
check out the entire collection and get $25 off your purchase, or if you're in the bay area, visit their stores in hayes valley, tiburon, and soon in palo alto...

go/see/buy: sayulita.
so truth time: the last time i went on a beach vacation was probably when i was in my early 20s, and it was probably to someplace like myrtle beach, the jersey shore, or miami. i'm just not a beach person—even though i went to shore being from philly but to sit on sand all day and work on my tan (ha!) didn't seem all that appealing. city vacations are more my jam, where there could be a beach (like my trips to santa barbara or carmel), but that's not the main draw.
back in april, i decided to take a solo vacation. with so much going on in my world, taking a breather was exactly what i needed to prepare myself mentally and physically for the rest of the year. so when i started researching where to go, a few names kept coming up—miami (been there, done that), charleston, san diego, malibu/venice, italy, and mexico. after doing a bit more investigating and talking to a few friends, sayulita won because it was walkable, cheap, and warm.
and win i did. sayulita is such a beautiful town with lovely people from all walks of life. and if you live on the west coast (especially california), it's really easy to get to (a 3 hour flight). it's very walkable with lots of hotels, rentals and hostels in and around downtown, and a solo traveller, i felt very safe even at night.
there's lots to do no matter if you are into art, shopping, music, food, or adventure. i mixed a bit of everything into my trip: taking a catamaran out to the marietas islands to do some paddleboarding and snorkeling (and dolphin spotting) and trying my hand at surfing; checking out lots of local shops and galleries, eating lots & lots of yummy food, doing some morning yoga in the rooftop studio in my hotel, and just lounging on the beach with a good book or taking a dip in the crystal blue waters.
all in all, traveling alone to somewhere i had never been was amazing, and i'm already plotting my next solo trip, this time looking into europe. as i look at this photos sitting in foggy san francisco, it's making me missing the sun and sand. if you're in the states, have a lovely holiday weekend and hopefully yours involves a bit of warm weather...
loft poncho, j.crew swimsuit (sold out; bikini separates still available) / bikyni crop top, gap shorts, mango sandals, super sunglasses / rag and bone boyfriend shorts, gap tote / isabel marant top (similar here and here), gap shorts, river island gladiators (old, similar), silence and noise bag
where i stayed: hotelito los suenos, just north of the town center and 2 blocks from the beach
where i ate: ino (italian), tacos ivan (literally carving meat for the tacos right on the street), palmar trapiche (tropical beer garden with great food), sayulita espresso cafe (so many yummy smoothies!), la rustica (right on the main street so amazing people watching plus delicious woodfire pizzas), don pedro's for oceanfront dining and live salsa music on monday's
where i shopped: sayulita sol, a great jewelry shop owned by a fellow philadelphian; evoke the spirit, buddha for eclectic print dresses and lovely spa treatments, pacha mama
what i did: ally cat sailing cruise, surf lesson at sayulita surf school
the new look: the tux dress.
after a wonderfully relaxing five days in mexico, i'm back in san francisco feeling refreshed and recharged. it's amazing what a short getaway can do for you physically and mentally. and since i'm back at work getting sh*t done, i thought this was the perfect look to feature. i spied this dress during an internal walkthrough and immediately put it at the top of my shopping list. the fabric is a bit heavier, so it can be worn year round with a jacket over or a layer under, or even open as a long vest (and you know i love those). it also effortlessly goes from desk to dinner with the right accessories and undoing a few of the bottom buttons. and if you aren't into all things neutral (like i tend to be), it also comes in a gorgeous red.
vintage jacket (similar here and here), banana republic dress (wearing a size 4, also comes in red), saint laurent pumps (similar in snakeskin and in zebra), céline bag, lulu frost and banana republic pins, super sunglasses, bite beauty amuse bouche lipstick in beetroot

the new look: khakis.
khakis. you probably hear that word and don't think fashion or style. maybe you think of tech guys or the 90's, when business casual became de rigeur. personally i think of all the great gap commercials, like khaki swing, west side story, funk, a thing called love, skateboarding (with crystal method), khaki a go-go, and one of my favorites khaki soul. it's a shame khakis get a bad rap when they have such a rich history.
i've been wearing these a lot as an unexpected alternative to jeans and something about them feels fresh for warmer weather. so how do you wear khakis and not look dated? it's all about fit and pairing them with modern pieces. here took my gap girlfriend chinos (which are slouchy but not baggy) and added a drapey white button up shirt (unbuttoned a bit more), a denim jacket, and patterned sandals, but a colorful tweed jacket (like this one) or a fun shirt would work too. heels are also key, like a feminine pump or sandal. there are lots of khaki styles out right now, from skinnier silhouettes to cargos (j. brand recently brought back their hugely successful houlihan's...i have a grey pair) so don't be afraid to give khakis a new look.
madewell jacket (wearing a medium), uniqlo shirt c/o, gap khakis and belt, club monaco sandals, phillip lim clutch (pre-owned here in black), super sunglasses, bauble bar charm necklace, cluse watch

resort 2017: protagonist.
the resort shows have started (in case you missed chanel's extravaganza in cuba, vuitton in rio, and dior and gucci in england). while many of these are great for the spectacle, how about showing me some real clothes? protagonist has got you covered. new(ish, since fall) designer georgia lazarro has injected more color and more ladylike cues since taking over—no doubt learned at her years at calvin klein and narciso rodriguez, two minimalist scions. i love how clean it is with hints of 80s structure and 90s fluidity mixed with subtle patterns and bold color.
and speaking of protagonist, the new york times did a great feature on assembled brands, the parent company of the brand, started by vanessa traina and andrew pritzker. also under their umbrella? traina's impossibly chic the line as well her new fashion venture khaite (from former gap alum catherine holstein). their goal? build a stable of american brands from the ground up using slow, steady growth rather than the buy companies model of lvmh and kering. it's an interesting idea, and one i'll be interested to see come to life.
pre-shop the protagonist collection now at moda operandi.

Soldier -
I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness…should I fail
I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the taste of a moment's love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped…but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…a Soldier.

Medicine cabinet in a bottle
By Loves to Garden
from North Texas
I ordered this product after reading a DIY column on its benefits. I wasn't sure how much I would use it. Several days before it arrived I had burned my finger. It wasn't healing because I was constantly hitting it on something. After getting the Tree Tea Oil I decided to put some on the burn and cover it with a bandaid over night. The difference by morning was amazing. I also used it on a bug bite and it stopped the itch immediately. I plan to use it to disinfect laundry as well. Overall I think this stuff is great!!!

Health & Spirit
Health and Beauty Tip -- Green Tea Tonic
For a refreshing trick that's also good for your skin, mix two tablespoons green tea with half a cup of water. Sweep the mixture over your face with a cotton ball and let it evaporate -- you don't need to wash it off.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Alternative to Toner
If you're not satisfied with your toner, or want to try something different, use lemon juice instead. Its natural disinfecting and cleaning properties are popular with models, and is a refreshing alternative to other toners. Make sure you don't have any lemon or citrus allergies first.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Stained Fingernails
If your fingers and nails are stained from nicotine or dark nail polish, use a toothbrush and whitening toothpaste to scrub the stains away.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Color or Highlight?
Women with shorter hair tend to look better with a full color job than with highlights. Medium to long hair looks wonderful with highlights, especially if your hair is also long around the face.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Cover Roots Quickly
If you need to cover your roots and don't have time to dye, use eyeshadow! Spray on a little hairspray, then pat a little eyeshadow along your visible hairline. Gold works best with blonde, and brown works best for dark hair or for covering gray.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Look Thinner in Photos
The way you pose can affect how you look in pictures! To make yourself look thinner, turn a bit sideways with one foot in front of the other, put your shoulders back and your chest out. Not only does it look good in photos -- it's also good posture!
Health and Beauty Tip -- Not Used to Makeup?
If you're new to (or bad at) applying makeup, start with your lipstick. The color and brightness will be a good gauge as to how much you should make up your eyes and cheeks. Remember, never draw attention to more than one part of your face at a time!
Health and Beauty Tip -- Lipstick as Blush
Lipstick can be used as a long-lasting blush, provided you apply it lightly and sparingly. Lipstick has a much darker pigment, and a little goes a long way.

This book is a memoir from a pioneer in the transgender world - a person born and expected to live as a male but knowing she was female. Rachael Booth did what most people of her era did - tried to find her place in the male world by joining the military, getting married, and having children...
Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Concealer
When applying concealer under your eyes, pat, don't rub. You'll use less and get more out of what you do use.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Soft Feet
The tough skin on your feet benefits from the heavy moisturizing properties of lanolin. Whether you apply it during the day or under socks before you go to sleep, you'll notice softer skin on your feet in no time!
Health and Beauty Tip -- Great Hair at 40
If you're over 40, try a shoulder-length, layered haircut. Short hair and blunt cuts aren't as flattering. No matter what cut you go with, don't overstyle. Less is more -- keep it natural-looking.
You Won't Believe What This Mom Did To Remove Her Cellulite
Sandra Collins (used to) fight the cellulite battle for as long as she can remember. The odd thing is she has always been fit and healthy, going to the gym for the last 10 years, lifting weights and following gym programs. However, her cellulite never seem to go away no matter what until she came across...
Health and Beauty Tip -- Sunscreen vs. Sunblock
What's the difference? Sunscreen absorbs UV rays and scatters them, while sunblock reflects them entirely. Sometimes sunscreens with SPF numbers of 15 or higher are advertised as sunblock -- but sunblock doesn't need an SPF number, as it reflects all rays. If you burn easily, go with sunblock; if you want a tan, buy sunscreen and make sure ...Read more
Health and Beauty Tip -- Shower Gel
Believe it or not, those popular bath and shower gels can dry out your skin! You're better off using a simple moisturizing bar soap. If you still want to use body wash, check the ingredients and find something that doesn't contain sodium laurel sulfate -- that's what gives gels their negative effects.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Stop Frizzy Hair
If you've got a problem with frizzy hair -- especially if your hair is naturally curly -- limit use of any heated styling tools (including blowdryers) to 2-3 times a week. Let your hair air-dry for the rest of the week.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Product
Are you applying hair products correctly? Just spraying or applying it on top doesn't do much for your hair. Get the most out of your spray or gel by saturating your hair with the product, then combing through using a wide-toothed comb so every strand is coated.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Smooth Flyaways
For small, fine flyaways, don't layer on even more hairspray. Take a baby toothbrush, spray it with hairspray, and brush the flyaway hair gently into place.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Touching up Gray Strands
Rather than doing a full dye job to cover a few gray hairs, buy a mascara wand and basic hair dye that matches your natural color. Use the wand instead of the brush that comes with the dye, and touch up the gray more quickly and with less mess than doing all your hair.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Using Body Scrub at Home
If you have a good body scrub you use at home, scrub towards your heart when you use it. Start at your feet and work up to your torso. When doing your arms, start at the fingertips and work up to your shoulders. Massage gently in circular motions to avoid scrubbing too hard.
Health and Beauty Tip -- 2-in-1 Shampoo
Is 2-in-1 shampoo really as good as they say? If you have normal, healthy hair, yes. But oily hair doesn't need extra conditioner, and dry hair needs even more conditioning than 2-in-1 shampoo offers. If you have dry hair, use regular separate shampoo and conditioner.
Health and Beauty Tip -- Lather, Rinse, Repeat?
If you have short or thin hair, you don't really need a second wash. But if you have longer, thicker hair, you may want to follow the advice on the bottle.
