questions
from readers
#1
of our "Questions from Readers": JP of Cambridge, England
asks - In your press release for Professional Beauty Products (See
Press release of 23 May 2004) you claim to only supply products that are "free
from animal experiments". Is your company a member of the "Beauty Without
Cruelty Foundation"?
- Answer
from our Editor: The Beauty Without Cruelty Foundation was established
by Lady Muriel Dowding (1908 -1993) in 1959 and is known as the BWC Charitable
Trust, an animal welfare organization with a philosophy that is 100% vegetarian
and 100% natural.
Lady Muriel was a famous UK animal rights campaigner
in her day and was instrumental in the start of Beauty Without Cruelty.
She also received prestigious awards and recognition from the RSPCA
(UK) for her outstanding and tireless efforts for animals. Both she and her
husband were well-known in the British animal welfare movement, and in fact there
is a pro-animal charity named after him. Lord Dowding's full name was: Air Chief
Marshal Hugh Caswell Tremenheere Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding GCB GCVO CMG, and
the charity named in his honour is the Lord
Dowding Fund for Humane Research. It is part of the National
Anti-Vivisection Society (U.K.) of which our firm "Professional Beauty
Products" company is an avid supporter.
The BWC Charitable
Trust was founded in response to the atrocities perpetrated on animals for
the fur trade. The founder, with a few supporters, set out to create awareness
about the cruelty behind the fashionable fur industry, but later developed to
cover experiments on animals being carried out by major health, medical and cosmetics
companies. In our experience many suppliers of make-up and cosmetics have "jumped
on the band wagon" and claim to have products that are developed without
experiments being performed on animals to test these products and thus making
sure they are fit for human use. Today
the major thrust of any group or company that still uses the label of the "Beauty
Without Cruelty Cosmetics" philosophy are not really connected to the
original BWC Charitable Trust, but are private companies that simply promote
their campaigns primarily to protect animals and the abuse of animals in the vivisection/cosmetic
industry, the fur and ivory trade, seal culling and factory farming. One of the
main sources of small animals popularly used in animal experiments, is the Guinea
Pig, because of its ability for prolific breeding, thus the modern term for when
a person is used to test an idea or response, "he/she is a human guinea pig".
Read the notes on why medical research tries to justify the use of guinea pigs
in medical research, and judge for yourself click
here The
answer to the question above is that our company is currently not a member of
any organization or company that claims to be the original "Beauty Without
Cruelty", or any other public or private organization related to prevention
of cruelty to animals, but never-the-less we aggressively support the philosophy
of not using animals for experiments in the manufacturing of cosmetics, and our
firm maintains a policy of only using; promoting and marketing products that are
guaranteed to be free from animal experiments. Editor's
Note: The Delamere
Group are currently launching a new website www.BeautyWithoutCruelty.org
which will be a world wide NGO specially targeted to protect animals and the abuse
of animals in the vivisection/cosmetic industry, the fur and ivory trade, seal
culling and factory farming. A substantial donation is being made by the MTC
International Foundation, which will help defray the initial costs of the
website development by Virtuosity
Design, and the hosting services offered by the Delamere Group. If
you would like to assist in this campaign of "Beauty Without Cruelty"
and you have any suggestions or ideas to promote the cause, please
contact us. The Delamere Group is also a supporter of the NGO, Resources
Africa, and the campaign to control the Trade
in Wild Species from Africa. The Delamere Group is also a supporter
of PETA ( People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) Visit the website of PETA. _________________________________________________________________________________
#2 of our
Questions from Readers: KP of Cape Town, South Africa asks: "I
have been offered a training course in massage therapy, with a guaranteed high
salary upon completion of the course. I wish to ask your editor, "Is this
treatment a genuine therapy or is it just a front for sexual deviants, with the
notorious "massage parlour" connotation?"
- Answer from
our Editor: The reply from our editor is based on first hand experience
from when the Delamere
Group operated the internationally accredited Cape Town International Academy
for Health and Beauty Therapy in Southern Africa.
During
the annual registration of new students many of the parents and students asked
the very same question regarding the ethical situation of massage therapy training,
and the job offers at the end of the course, the reason being that many graduating
students were often approached by salon owners who offered very lucrative jobs
as "massage therapists" especially in the down-town business area, CBD
(Central Business District of Cape Town) and Waterfront areas of the City of Cape
Town. To
establish the genuineness of these job offers, a senior member of the staff of
our Cape Town International
Academy undertook an "undercover" survey of many of these massage
therapy salons, and most appeared to be up-market "bona fida" salons,
with shower cubicles and private changing rooms. During the process when certain
bookings being made, offers for "extras" were made by the salon manager,
and when enquiries were made as to what these "extras" included, there
was no doubt in the mind of the salon owner or manager, and in the mind of our
"undercover" agent, that this 'menu' included various inappropriate
activities. Of course this causes concern to the genuine therapists who have spent
good money on training in this most reputable and therapeutic complimentary health
therapy. If
you require more information on education, training and courses available in the
health and beauty therapy field, please contact
us or visit our Delamere
Education page related to this subject.
Editor's Note: State
laws across the USA, including one in California that went into effect Jan. 1st
2009, aim to legitimize the profession, crack down on prostitution rings masquerading
as massage centers and better protect the public. Read

of our Questions from Readers: KF of Los Angeles asks: Dear
Editor: My father has a skin condition known as Pustular Psoriasis and
we have recently been updating his medical file after receiving excellent treatment
from the Dermatology Ward of Groote
Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. (Special thanks to Doctor James Milne, Doctor
McKenzie, Professor Gail Todd, and all the dedicated staff). My query is related
to what sources are currently available for the layman to research skin conditions?

of our Questions from Readers: KB of London UK, asks: "Which
products currently available for skin whitening do you recommended as being safe
for normal use?"
- Answer
from our Editor: Dear KB of London, this question is currently
being extensively researched by our staff and the findings will appear on this
page in due course. Many of our readers are aware that most skin whiteners currently
on the market contain ingredients such as hydroquinone, ascorbic acid, kojic acid,
arbutin, azealic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid (licorice extract) that act as direct
inhibitors of tyrosinase, the enzyme in the skin pigment cells (melanocytes) that
make melanin. Our update on this research will appear soon. Meantime you might

of our Questions from Readers: GSM of Long Beach asks: "I
recently was recommended by my doctor that I should try taking a colon cleanser
program. This sounds an extreme treatment, what does this colon treatment involve?
and is it painful or uncomfortable?"
- Answer
from our Editor: Dear GSM of Long Beach, This health therapy program
is a powerful solution to many common ailments which have been linked to autointoxication
- a potentially deadly condition that occurs when colon health is ignored. We
are all exposed to thousands of toxins and unhealthy chemicals on a daily basis.
We take them in from the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe,
and the prescription medications we take. These toxins and dangerous chemicals,
along with the "typical" American diet lead to poor digestion, constipation,
weight gain, low energy, headaches, and many other horrible human maladies. Believe
it or not, autopsies reveal the colons of 80% of people who have passed away,
are clogged up with waste material. We are currently recommending an excellent
program being offered by a reputable medical company. Click

of our Questions from Readers: TT from New York asks: "I have
a friend who recently undertook a treatment of Kinesiology, as I
have no idea what this treatment is about, and I was too embarrassed to ask her,
perhaps you could explain and clarify what this treatment actually does for ones
health and well-being?"
Answer
from our Editor: Dear TT from New York, "We would like to
quote from the online source Wikipedia, "Kinesiology, also known as Human
Kinetics, is the science of human movement. It focuses on how the body functions
and moves. A kinesiological approach applies scientific and evidence based medical
principles towards the analysis, preservation and enhancement of human movement
in all settings and populations. Kinesiologists work in research, the fitness
industry, and clinical environments. The practice of Kinesiology is the assessment
of movement, performance, and function; and the rehabilitation, prevention, and
management of disorders to maintain, rehabilitate, and enhance movement, performance,
and function in the areas of sport, recreation, work, exercise, and activities
of daily living. Kinesiologists can be found working in fitness facilities, personal
training/corporate wellness facilities."

of our Questions from Readers: From several of our current readers:
"Which are the best Galvanic Treatments & Galvanic Equipment
currently being researched and recommended by your editorial staff?"
Answer
from our Editor: Galvanic Facial Machines - Galvanic facial machines convert
oscillating current from an electrical outlet into a direct current. Electrons
are then allowed to flow continuously in the same direction. This creates a relaxation
response that can be used to target specific nerve endings in the epidermis. Estheticians
use disincrustation (anaphoresis) to facilitate deep pore cleansing. During this
process, galvanic current is used to create a chemical reaction that emulsifies
or liquefies sebum and debris. This treatment is very beneficial for oily or acne
skin because it helps soften and relax the debris in the follicle for extractions.
Our Galvanic facial machine from Equipro includes a disincrustor and other essential
tools for facial treatments using Galvanic current. Read
