TALKIN’ FIRST AID™
KIT
There's a growing concern over safety in the home and the
workplace, While most people have some kind of first kits available, they
wouldn't know what to if an injury occurred beyond a cut or a simple twisted
ankle. The Talkin’ First Aid™ kit removes the guess work and provides the
knowledge and guidance to help reduce the severity of an injury's outcome.
The Talkin’ First Aid™ kit organizes supplies with instructions into
individually labeled
and color-coded packs for each type of injury. Audio instructions are delivered
via a chip affixed to each of the injury instruction cards. A press of a button
starts, stops, and pauses the audio instructions.
Scott Kappmeyer,
Vice President—Safety & Health Programs, National Safety Council.
"Our research has found that very few individuals retain first-aid
training when faced with a medical emergency and most are unable to adequately
assist an injured person. Through its combination of medical supplies and
detailed written and verbal instructions, first-aid givers can be more
effective and have confidence in the care they’re providing,”
DLH, Inc. has teamed with the National Safety Council (NSC) to offer this awesome technology. Kits will be available in early 2005. They will retail for $149.95. www.talkinfirstaid.com, http://www.futureoffirstaid.com or call 888-388-4854.

Guayaki Yerba Maté (no I'm not swearing at you). I am introducing you to a new drink, a tea, if you will, that has been enjoyed by millions of people in South American but now making inroads into North American cultures. Yerba mate offers a list of health benefits including 24 vitamins and 15 amino acids It also has polyphenols and antioxidants currently being studies for anti-cancer effect. It has more anti oxidants than either green or black tea. Yerba maté comes from a tree by the same name and the tea bags it can found at most health food stores, some cafes and super marts in North America, or from www.guayaki.com or 1-888-guayaki. It is 100% organic and comes in loose tea blends, tea bags and in an iced tea concentrate.
BAJA BOB'S FLAVORED MARTINI MIXES
.And they're colored, too. These scrumptious martini mixes herald the first line of low-cab Martini mixes. They're sweetened with Splenda and all natural flavors. And they have only 2 carbs and 10 calories per drink compared to the 30-40 carbs and 100 calories of a typical flavored martini mix. Four flavors, Cranberry Cosmo, Sour Apple, Luscious Lemon Drop, and Blue Raspberry, will retail for $4.99 per bottle. And if you don't over imbibe, a bottle will last a long time. For more info, www.bajabobos.com.
FUZE is a new beverage for the health conscious aiming to slenderize, reduce calories and drink everything that's good for you that you can't "refuze." It is packaged in beautiful bottles that could become collectibles or flower holders after you consume all the goodies it purportedly has. There are so many popular health ingredients that one would think it's the elizer of all elixirs…with polyphenols, folic acid, vitamic C, E, B Complex and so much more. It comes in a variety of flavors from white tea to a mixed berries. Retailing for about $2.00 for an 18 oz. bottle, it is a thirst quenching alternative to many of the popular carbonated drinks. The flavors may or may not appeal to your taste buds. Check it out at www.fuzebev.com and pick up a bottle for your own taste testing.
