Forget Viagra, now there’s ice-cream that can turn you on!

 A British ice cream maker has developed a flavour, ‘The Arousal’, which includes 25 mg of Viagra per scoop. Charlie Harry Francis, who created the concoction, wrote on his blog ‘Lick Me, I’m Delicious’ that that champagne is also a key ingredient in the flavour.

Francis told Latin Times that champagne-flavoured/Viagra ice cream was a custom order by an A-list celeb, and he spent a few days developing the recipe. He said incorporating the Viagra was easy but making it taste nicely of champagne was tough.

Which Shampoo Suits you? Save your money

When you wash your hair with certain traditional shampoos, you may actually be stripping your hair and scalp of their natural oils.  Many shampoos uses a chemical called sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents which will create thick foam and makes the hair very bad and results in dryness, friskiness, dullness, and color fade.

Nobody knows this problem except hair care professionals who are dealing this problem daily.   Legendary L.A. celebrity stylist Chaz Dean, decided to do something about it.  He got tired of clients leaving his salon raving about their color and the feel of their hair, only to complain a few weeks later that their hair looked and felt brassy and dull.

He knew the main reason behind this was likely their shampoo, so he started experimenting with various ingredients, including natural herbs and botanicals, that he knew had cleansing and hydrating properties.

The result was a radically new approach to the way we cleanse our hair.  It’s called WEN Cleansing Conditioner.  WEN contains a super-hydrating blend of glycerin, chamomile, rosemary, calendula, and Cherry bark, which when combined, will both cleanse the hair as well as impart shine and softness, even to the damaged hair.

WEN is a 5-in-1 formula that takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep-conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner.  And, the most amazing thing about it is that it cleanses without lather.  Instead, when mixed with water, it creates smooth foam for shiny, healthy-looking, manageable results.  The first time you try it certainly feels strange, but the results speak for themselves.

Before being marketed, WEN underwent extensive consumer tests, and the results were impressive.  More than 90 percent of the participants in the studies reported that their hair was shinier, less frizzy, and had more bounce.

WEN is recommended for all hair types, and once you start using it, it will become the only cleanser/conditioner you will want to include in your daily routine. You can also purchase this product in online

 

A compound – genistein found in soybeans inhibits HIV

A compound found in soybeans may become an effective HIV treatment according to new research by George Mason University researchers.

Genistein, derived from soybeans and other plants, inhibiting the HIV infection, says Yuntao Wu, a professor with the George Mason-based National Center for Bio defense and Infectious Diseases and the Department of Molecular and Microbiology.

“Although genistein is rich in several plants such as soybeans, it is still uncertain whether the amount of genistein we consume from eating soy is sufficient to inhibit HIV,” Wu says.

Genistein is a “tyrosine kinase inhibitor” that works by blocking the communication from a cell’s surface sensors to its interior. Found on a cell’s surface, these sensors tell the cell about its environment and also communicate with other cells. HIV uses some of these surface sensors to trick the cell to send signals inside. These signals change cell structure so that the virus can get inside and spread infection.

But genistein blocks the signal and stops HIV from finding a way inside the cell. It takes a different approach than the standard antiretroviral drug used to inhibit HIV.

“Instead of directly acting on the virus, genistein interferes with the cellular processes that are necessary for the virus to infect cells,” Wu says. “Thus, it makes the virus more difficult to become resistant to the drug. Our study is currently it its early stage. If clinically proven effective, genistein may be used as a complement treatment for HIV infection.”

Wu sees possibilities in this plant-based approach, which may address drug toxicity issues as well. Because genistein is plant-derived, it may be able to sidestep drug toxicity, a common byproduct of the daily and lifelong pharmaceutical regimen faced by patients with HIV to keep the disease at bay, Wu says. Typically, patients take a combination of multiple drugs to inhibit the virus. The frequency can lead to drug toxicity. Plus, HIV mutates and becomes drug-resistant.

Wu and his team are working at finding out how much genistein is needed to inhibit HIV. It’s possible that plants may not have high enough levels, so drugs would need to be developed, Wu says.
