Botox to Help Stroke Victims
05 11th, 2007 Author: admin
A year-long research study has shown that Botox can significantly ease the aftereffects of a stroke, helping victims return to a fully healthy lifestyle.
Up to 58% of all stroke victims suffer from Post-Stroke Spasticity, a condition caused by damage to the central nervous system where the muscles refuse to relax. This uncontrollable tension can be very painful, resulting in cramping, weakness, and restricted movement in the limbs. This can prevent stroke victims from walking, writing, or even eating on their own.
While there are oral medications to help treat Post-Stroke Spasticity, many patients experience extreme side effects while using them, including weakness, confusion, and dizziness.
The use of Botox on Post-Stroke Spasticity has shown positive effects in previous trials, leading Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center to conduct the largest study yet, funded by Allergan, the pharmaceutical company that sells Botox. 279 stroke victims showed a significant reduction in pain and increased muscle control after receiving regular Botox injections. Best of all, the treatment shows no negative side effects.
Botox may soon be helping stroke victims return to a healthy, pain-free, and self-sufficient lifestyle.

For some reason miss Pinkett Smith is decalring that K Holmes wears the pants in the household and that T Cruise takes a backseat in the relationship. She says:
"It burns my soul - I see her in the house with Tom; he doesn't have that on her! It kills me. 'Tom's this crazy monster and he's got her caged up in the celler and he's forcing Sciencology on her. She's not this little wimp they make her out to be. Calm down everyone. Tom does next to nothing in the way of house work! It is Katie's domain. She's the boss! Tom is devoted to his wife, and the lenghts he'll go to make her happy - including spiritually, where tom will go as a husband for his wife."
I for one don't believe her she should've stuck to something more real, like that Katie doesn't get fed out a dog bowl. Suggesting she wears the trousers? She might as well have told us that Katie Holmes is actually a Power Ranger and spends her free time riding around in giant robots.

Lindsay Lohan wants an Oscar
05 3rd, 2007 Author: admin
In her interview with Nylon magazine, Lindsay Lohan claims she's more famous than Madonna and gets more attention than her from the paparazzi. She says:
"I said the other day, 'I feel like they hound me more than they hound Madonna and she's someone I've always aspired to be like.'"
She also adds that the paparazzi are what's preventing her from getting an Academy Award because they keep distracting her from her work. She says:
"The thing about the press and why they need to leave me the [bleep] alone for a little bit is because I don't want that distraction from my work. I want to get a nomination. I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being 'the party girl.' I hate that. I bust my [bleep] when I'm filming, and when I gave time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance."
Lindsay Lohan could never get an ‘Academy award’! It’s just common sense that if you see Lindsay, next to a donkey that’s just sitting there, the Academy Award goes unanimously to the donkey!
