October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is very close to my heart as my mother passed away from this disease when I was very young.  In today’s world, she most likely would have survived, due to the advances that have been made in the medical world.  It is my sincere hope that by the time my granddaughters are adults, this disease will be eradicated, or at the very least, easy to detect and cure.

According to Wikipedia, Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

This yearly campaign works to educate people about the importance of early screening, testing, check-ups and more.  The campaign starts on October 1st and ends on October 31st every year.

We urge all of our friends, family and customers to be diligent in their exams, both self-exams and doctor exams, and proactive in taking charge of your own health.  This “awareness month” should serve as a reminder to all of us (men and women) to make our doctor’s appointments and take care of ourselves and our health.

Many of the bras that we sell at DreamProducts.com are sold to surgeons across the U.S. that use our bras post-operatively.  In speaking with a doctor’s office once I was told that the front hooks make it very easy for the staff to put the bra on the patient immediately following surgery, and the softness of the material, make them ideal for the sensitive skin after surgery.  Often times women must wear a bra 24 hours a day following surgery and ours are comfortable enough to be able to do that.  Take a moment to look at The Doctor’s Choice Comfort Bra and the Sleep Bra that we offer.

Sleep Bra

These bras are great for everyone, not just those who have had surgery.  The cups stretch to conform to monthly fluctuations, pregnancy and/or weight gain or loss.  The front hooks make them easy to put on and take off, and the wide comfortable straps and full coverage backs will quickly make them a favorite of yours too!

Wishing you and your family the best of health and happiness this October!  Do your breast exam!

Baby, It’s Cold Outside & My Arthritic Joints Feel It!

February, the month with the fewest days, but frequently the COLDEST days of the year!  Whether you are battling snow, rain or just cold temps, www.DreamProducts.com has what you need to make it to Spring!

In an article I recently read in “Arthritis and Osteoporosis” (see article here: https://www.arthritiswa.org.au/content/page/winter-amp-arthritis.html) I found it interesting that Professor Jamison of Harvard Medical School and Chief Psychologist at the Pain Management Center  advises “…The factor that may be responsible for increased pain is not snow, cold or rain, but actually, a change in barometric pressure”. Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure) is the force exerted onto a surface by the weight of the atmosphere at any given point. As a storm system develops, the barometric pressure begins to drop.

Jamison explains the impact of barometric pressure on the body through a test conducted with a balloon. “When a balloon is inflated, it has the maximum inside and outside pressure. High barometric pressure that pushes against the body from the outside keeps tissues from expanding.” As the barometric pressure falls, tissues in the body may expand. As the tissues expand, they put more pressure on nerves that control pain signals.

“It doesn’t take much expansion or contraction of tissue to affect a pain trigger,” Jamison said. Therefore even individuals who live in drier climates also reported feeling more pain with weather changes.”

Whatever causes the pain is interesting, but if you are suffering from Arthritic Pain, RELIEF is what you are really seeking.  Having chronic arthritis and osteoporosis myself, I know the pain it causes and the joy I feel when I find something that actually HELPS!

At Dream Products we carry a wide variety of products in our Health & Beauty category that bring blessed relief to many arthritis sufferers.  From slippers that stretch to accommodate swollen feet and surround you in cozy warmth and comfort, to magnetic therapy items that millions of people have believed for centuries, help circulation and pain reduction, to lotions and sprays for pain relief.

Visit our website at www.DreamProducts.com to find what you need to get you and your arthritis through this cold, wet month.  Hold tight……Spring is on its way!

BloodSTOP® Used By SWAT Paramedic Provides Powerful Results

On occasion we come across some great features of our product and recently BloodSTOP® special blood control gauze became the focus of a story about a wounded officer in training.

SWAT paramedic Mark Ocepek was pleasantly surprised to find out how powerful BloodSTOP® is in stopping bleeding when his services were needed by an officer in training. Here’s an excerpt from his story from officer.com:

Officer Ocepek instantly rushed to the aid of his fellow officer with his “trauma bag” — always on him — in tow. After checking the airway, Officer Ocepek’s first order of business was stopping the bleeding. Seeing the severity of the laceration, Officer Ocepek employed a new piece of kit he had received back in November of 2014 — a product called BloodSTOP iX that was being sampled at the SWAT International Roundup, a competition for SWAT teams throughout the country.

Officer Ocepek applied BloodSTOP iX, a water-soluble “hemostatic matrix,” wrapped it in gauze and applied direct pressure. In less than a minute, Ocepek saw extraordinary results. Within 20-30 seconds, the profuse bleeding just stopped — completely. Where there was once flowing blood just about an inch from the officers eye, the wound had been completely sealed by a non-toxic, completely safe gel. Officer Ocepek, who had years of experience at level 1 trauma centers and on the job as a SWAT officer, found the results to be better than any skin glue, other hemostatic agent, and far better than any bandage by itself. (Read the entire story here)

BloodSTOP® transforms into a protective gel that seals the wound and speeds the healing process.

BloodSTOP® acts in less than one minute, easily washes off with water, and can be used for cuts, abrasions, and nosebleeds. Sterile, convenient, and fast, BloodSTOP® is a very effective way to control bleeding.

Nail art is back and it is back with major style, but only if you have beautiful, strong nails to begin with.

Easy To Wear Relief For Swollen Or Aching Legs & Feet

Whether you’re an active runner, work on your feet all day, or suffer from a condition which causes swollen or painful legs or feet, you may find much needed relief by wearing compression hosiery.

Compression hosiery, socks, or stockings are specially designed with extra firm material such as elastic to help reduce swelling and improve circulation. Here at Dream Products, we offer a variety of compression leg-wear to choose from. One in particular, Zippered Compression Stockings, is a favorite of one of our very own staff members, Linda, who shares her personal experience:

For years I have suffered with ankle swelling, particularly in one leg. No doctor has been able to determine the cause of the swelling. Over the years I have tried many products, but it seems that the only thing that really helps to control the swelling is when I wear compression socks or stockings.

Problem is, by nature of what compression stockings are, they are so tight and difficult to get off and on! Then I discovered we carry Zippered Compression Stockings here at Dream Products! What an ingenious idea! You still have the tightness for the compression benefit as you wear the stocking, but because you can zip it up, it takes the struggle out of putting them on and taking them off!

zippered compression stockingsThese Zippered Compression Stockings can be worn with shoes and/or socks and you can wear them all day long! They even have an open toe, so if you want to wear sandals no one needs to know you are also wearing compression stockings!

Doctors recommend compression support to help increase circulation, reduce swelling and fluid retention, support aching muscles and ease the pain and discomfort of varicose veins. With all these great benefits, and now that the zip up feature allows for easy on/off, you won’t find a compression stocking you will like more!
