The healthy cooking oil comprises mixture of oils having at least 30%-60% Omega-7, and 70%-30% any healthy or neutral oil. The Omega-7 oil is purified from sea buckhorn and/or its derivatives, algae and/or its derivatives, fish oil and/or its derivatives, and/or macadamia nuts and/or its derivatives. Healthy or neutral oils may be canola oil and walnut oil. The Omega-7 cooking oil may further comprises stabilizers, antioxidants, and polyphenols in an amount not to exceed about 10% or the oil mixture.

Abstract: A method for administering daily micronutrient requirements (DMRs) comprising vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids targeted to reduce appetite and/or the risks associated with aging. The DMRs are administered to individuals via food products. In an embodiment of the present invention, the DMRs are offered in the form of a health bar. The DMRs may be incorporated into other forms without departing from the scope of the present invention. By way of illustration and not as a limitation, the constituents may be incorporated into a fruit or yogurt “smoothie,” a frozen desert such as an ice cream or sorbet, and beverage.

Abstract: A composition for preventing or treating the opioid induced side effect, inhibition of gastrointestinal motility is disclosed. The composition comprises methylnaltrexone or another quaternary derivative of noroxymorphone administered to a patient prior to the administration of an opioid or after the onset of side effects induced by the administration of an opioid, wherein the methylnaltrexone or quaternary derivative is administered orally in an enterically coated form.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the use of a combination of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline-earth metal hydroxides as a scavenging material for cyanide gas. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and means for either filtering out cyanide gas or detoxifying areas contaminated with cyanide using Sodalime or Baralyme™. The scavenging material of the invention is typically incorporated into a scrubbing device wherein a motor (50) powers a fan (52) to draw contaminated air into an inlet (54) and across a filter (56) which contains the scavenger material, thereby absorbing cyanide gas contained in the air.

Abstract: A System and Method for Developing a Customized Wellness Plan for measuring a user's wellness by determining a user's physiological age. The system and method also help a user to learn about personalized wellness options, where the wellness options have been chosen for the user based upon wellness factors input by the user, additional constraints input by the user and the most recently available information relating to the health sciences. The user can select one or more options, and determine the potential effect implementing the options could have on the user's physiological age over the short or long term. In this fashion, the user can continue selecting various groups of alternatives until he or she has determined the group of options that the user would like to implement as a wellness plan. The user can then obtain further information regarding the chosen wellness plan.

Abstract: An interactive medical test selector for use by a patient is about the size of a book and has a screen for displaying questions to a patient, a limited number of keys by which the patient can enter answers, and a memory device for storing the patient's answers. The test selector is battery-powered for portability and uses a low-power liquid crystal display or the like to display instructions and medical questions to the patient. Only four keys are seen or used by the patient for answering the questions: YES, NO, NOT SURE, and NEXT QUESTION. Additional control keys used by the medical staff are hidden from the patient. The device is controlled by a pre-programmed microcomputer on a chip, and a ROM-based, removeable and replaceable control program which not only collects, but also analyzes the patient's answers and makes appropriate recommendations based on those answers, and drives a remote printer or computer terminal.
