Aural+ Natural Hearing Recovery Review

Aural plus Review | Is it a scam?


 @healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan | health blog

Aural + is a health product with a very strong claim to astonishingly cure deafness, but does this thing really works? Let's find out on this review.

First of all, before anyone gets tempted to purchase Aural+, wouldn't it be wise to first check out what's on this thing? Anyone who thinks that this natural hearing loss aid is made up of anything extraordinary will definitely get disappointed to find out that it's composed of mere maltodestrin (a sugar with high glycemic index), unspecified herbal extracts, B vitamins, and good ol' vitamin C.

The formulation of Aural+ resembles a typical food supplement, yet it claims that in just 19 to 21 days of use you will have "Complete recovery of 100% hearing. You abandon your hearing aid forever, and receive maximum quality of life."

While there are positive testimonies online hailing the effectiveness of this product, there are many who finds this supposedly hearing miracle as a scam. What can you expect from a combination of sugar, vitamins, and unstated herbs?

The fact that this product is marketed as having the ability to restore 100% hearing without the need of surgery is a big take away. It's very suspicious.

What's so special about this product such that it can cure hearing impairment? Any special ingredient? They don't mention any specifics about what makes it effective.

One of Aural plus' constituent, maltodestrin is portrayed in their website in a positive light yet is is a highly processed sugar additive that is more potent in shooting up blood sugar level than your typical table sugar.

Another distressing stuff about Aural+ is that you need to purchase not one, not two, but 3 boxes of it in order to complete using this Aural plus for 21 days.

There's even this countdown timer on their website that alerts customers to purchase the product right away within 10 minutes, otherwise their 50% sale will close. Here's a spoiler--it won't. Once the timer hits zero second, it will revert back to the 10 minute period. I have to say their marketing strategy awfully looks like that of OptiVisum.

Of course, everything in their website is meant to lure people into buying this product, with their overrated claims and promises. They even mentioned that you get a "100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE If you’re not satisfied with the product, return it and we will give your money back – no questions asked." However, according to the reviews and feedback I've seen, they don't respond to messages nor issue a refund.

Aural+ even have a disclaimer that "This disclaimer states there is no guarantee of specific results and each person results may vary. The information contained in this website is not intended to be interpreted as a promise or guarantee." So, in the end, they are their own contradictory statement to their supposedly 100% claim.

You see, there's no such thing as 100%!

If you want to buy Aural plus out of sheer hope of finding a cure, then bewarned. That hope can cost you more. If you have a hearing problem, then why hesistate to spend the money instead to seek professional help from a doctor or a physician. Consulting with an otolaryngologists or an ENT doctor will cost you money but so is Aural plus. By the way, why don't you ask your own doctor about Aural+ and see if they actually recognize this thing.

Why do non-smokers have lung cancer? Healthbiztips

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan | health blog

Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer so the emergence of this dreaded disease among non-smokers baffles and surprises many. Try turning the table around and ask why not all smokers develop lung cancer.

First and foremost, although smoking tobacco is the major risk factor for the development of lung cancer, it is not the sole culprit. Circumstances like gene mutation, exposure to second hand smoke, air pollution, radon gas, asbestos, and radiation can also be the reason for the development of lung cancer.

The presence of a family history of lung cancer puts a person at an increased risk of developing this disease. Likewise, environmental factors like inhalation of chemical irritants can have serious implications.

Another culprit shown by research that can greatly contribute to lung cancer formation is the presence of major stressful life events such as divorce. Moreover, particularly startling is the discovery that when these stressful events does show to significantly contribute to lung cancer, their effect manifest in just several months to a few years whilst those attributed to smoking takes decades to develop.

Particularly alarming about lung cancer is it isn't usually apparent during it's early stage as it doesn't manifest signs and symtoms. By the time that symptoms like persistenct cough, breathing difficulty and chest pain does manifest, lung cancer has already advanced to end stage Stage IV in which cancer cells have metastazised to nearby organs such as the liver and brain. Thus, the survival rate for this type of cancer is low.

The possibility that a non-smoker will be diagnosed with lung cancer is by no means a way to put smoking at a better light. Take note that about 80% of individuals who have lung cancer have a history of smoking tobacco.

Overall, the development of lung cancer can involve various factors, not just cigarette smoking.

Why Saffron is the Most Expensive Spice & What does it Taste? - Healthbiztips

@healthbiztips by Arlene Gentallan - healthblog

A gram of saffron can cost roughly more than $6 but why is it so ridiculously high-priced? What many people don't know is the painstaking process involved in the making of this spice.

Saffron can only be harvested for one to three weeks each year since the violet flower Crocus sativus from which saffron is obtained blooms only during autumn. Not only that, the flowers have to be carefully handpicked and each of it's three stigma meticulous plucked and extracted by hand as well.

Each Crocus sativus flower contains only 3 redish stigma or stamen which are the saffron itself. Considering that each of these have to plucked out by hands, it is indeed a hard labor. A cultivator has to go through about 150 flowers to come by with a single gram of saffron. Meanwhile, an ounce of saffron will require roughly 75,000 flowers.

Did you know that this Crocus flower is sterile so they can not propagate by pollination and instead depends on human intervention to reproduce? So, it's bulb-like corms have to be unearthed manually, divided, and replanted in order to perpetuate their species.

Turning to it's taste. Powdered saffron looks quite like paprika but it definitely isn't on the spicy spectrum. In fact, this spice has a sweet hay-like and distinct taste with a signature fragrant aroma.

Although saffron has a unique taste, it's quite hard to define it in words. In addition, people have varying perception of it's taste. Despite this, it is undeniable that the infusion of this spice takes foods and drinks into a whole new level.

Many will argue that there is no replacement spice for the extraordinary taste of saffron. In fact, the absence of saffron can break the palatability of certain traditional dishes like Spanish paella.

The best quality saffrons are red in color, without a yellowish tint. Intact saffron stigma is preferred than powdered form as this ensure there is no filler like tumeric and paprika that have been added.

Saffron is widely used, especially in the Middle East Asia and India to color and season dishes, beverages, desserts, and is treasured for it's medicinal property.

Saffron is an irreplaceable spice with thousands of years of culinary traditions across the globe, but requires extensive labor to cultivate.
