Quick Fix or Scary Scam: What's the Deal with IV Drips?
By Nancy Fitzgerald |	 June 11, 2019
Proponents of IV vitamin therapy say it cures everything from anxiety and depression to headaches and the common cold. But does it really work? Here's what you need to know.
Overindulged at a party last night? Feel a cold coming on? Stressed out by life in general? There's an IV drip for that.
Or is there?
Previously a celebrity wellness trend, intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy has gone fully mass market in recent years. The promises seem pretty grand, so we took a look at what you're really getting when you head to a vitamin clinic and hand over your hard-earned money.
Here's everything you need to know before you even consider making an appointment.
What Exactly Is IV Therapy?
In general, many different liquids can be delivered intravenously, or through the veins via an IV drip in the arm. This can include fluids, medications, or blood that need to be administered quickly in a medical emergency, such as heat stroke or severe dehydration.
IV vitamin therapy, specifically, traces its roots back to the 1960s and a Baltimore physician named John Myers, according to a report in Alternative Medicine Review. Myers developed a mixture of vitamins and minerals to help patients suffering from a variety of chronic conditions. Instead of popping a pill, patients received it by IV drip so the medicine went directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and doing its work quickly.
The mixture became known as the Myers Cocktail, and Dr. Myers used it to treat everything from asthma attacks to allergies to migraines. Administered at his medical office under the supervision of doctors and nurses, the cocktail seemed to help patients feel better with minimal negative side effects. Though it lacked rigorous scientific studies, anecdotes from many satisfied patients testified to its effectiveness, and the treatment grew in popularity.
Fast-forward to the early 2000s. Other doctors had taken the original Myers Cocktail formula and tinkered with it, creating treatments for even more conditions. In theory, they delivered a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly to the body's cells. There was still no science to back it up, but celebrities around the world began hearing about IV therapy and trying it out for themselves.
Soon, enterprising physicians were opening up clinics at medical spas, malls, and even mobile vans. The biggest draw: the IV hangover cure.
Now there are drips designed to boost your energy, brighten your skin, ease anxiety, and shorten recovery time after a marathon.

Does IV Therapy Actually Work?
"I have no idea, and neither does anyone else," says David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Connecticut.
"There's no science behind it," he continues. "No evidence that you'll get colds or flu less often, or recover better from a hangover. As a scientist, the only honest answer is to say, 'Who knows?' And when you don't know, it's best to be cautious."
Dr. Katz and his team at Yale were cautious. They conducted a study to examine how effective the IV drip was for treating fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic pain in muscles and joints.
The results were disappointing. Although the treatment was safe, its effectiveness was "uncertain." It worked with some of the study participants. For others, it seemed to have a placebo effect, meaning their expectation or perception of the treatment helped them feel better even though the treatment itself wasn't effective.
Because there are few options for treating fibromyalgia pain, Dr. Katz offers the IV drip at his clinic.
"A patient might come to us and say, 'I've tried everything—what else have you got?'" he says. "So, we might try the Myers Cocktail under appropriate sterile conditions, and it might give the patient some relief."
Other doctors report some success in specific medical situations.
"It's definitely not something we give to patients blindly," says Jonathan Hickson, M.D., a physician at the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine in Washington, D.C. "But sometimes it can be helpful."
For example, Dr. Hickson might use IV therapy to treat a cancer patient who isn't using nutrients effectively. "But if you're generally healthy and well hydrated, you don't need an IV infusion," he says.
The Federal Trade Commission agrees. In September 2018, it charged a chain of IV drip bars with "making a range of deceptive and unsupported health claims."
When administered properly, the dangers to your health are minimal, Dr. Katz says.
"In responsible hands, the risks are quite small. But anytime you poke a hole in somebody's skin, there's a chance of bleeding, bruising, clotting, or infection," he says. "And a few people have acute reactions to B vitamins when they're injected."
His advice: No matter how small the risk, if there isn't a potential benefit, you shouldn't do it.
Plus, one of the biggest risks may be to your bank account. IV therapy costs about $100 or more per drip, depending on the formulation and facility. Certain treatments at an IV lounge can cost up to $1,000.
If you have a serious medical condition, see your doctor, who might decide you need an IV drip—or a different treatment—to address your illness. But stay away from the IV lounge at the mall.
"If you want more energy, try exercise," Dr. Katz says. "And the best way to treat a hangover is to avoid getting one in the first place—but if you do, just drink lots of water."
There's no need to pay good money for an IV hangover cure. "There's a part of our body specifically designed for taking in fluids," Dr. Katz says. "And it isn't our veins."

Prescriptions for a wide range of ailments will no longer be available on the NHS from the end of this month, as part of a major cost-cutting crackdown.
A list of various conditions which the health service will not be able to provide a prescription for includes treatment for coughs and colds, nappy rash, hayfever and dry eyes.
The new guidance, which will come into force on May 31, aims to save the NHS millions of pounds each year and will even affect basic medication such as paracetamol.
It also follows a price increase of prescriptions which the NHS will continue to offer, which went up to £8.80 in April.
However, the changes will not affect those who have prescriptions for long-term illnesses, or if their minor ailments are a result of a more complex condition.
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said: "Across the NHS our aim is to 'think like a patient, act like a taxpayer'.


When you are a new student looking for housing around Clemson University or a returning student who is in need of a change, it can be extremely difficult and stressful to try to find a good place that fits your needs. Especially for new students, it can be hard to leave home and try to find a new place that you can feel comfortable in. But finding the right housing can play a very important role in your comfort and success in college. Here are some things that you should consider in your search for the right place that can help you be more successful in making a final decision.
Now that you are in college, you are probably living on a budget. As most people know, those college budgets are usually not very large. This can lead many people to choose a cheap place in order to save money. While it is very important to be realistic in selecting housing by picking a place that fits in your budget, it will also serve you well to prioritize your safety when deciding on how much you are willing to pay. You need to live in a safe area, which may mean picking housing that is closer to the highly populated campus area and is slightly more expensive. Make sure that you don't extend your budget too far, but you might want to sacrifice how much you have budgeted for entertainment or travel before you sacrifice living in a safer neighborhood in order to save money.
Another things you will want to think about as you look for housing around Clemson University is the storage and privacy available to you. You may be the kind of person that is excited by the prospect of sharing a room with a roommate so that you can experience all of the social benefits that living situation has to offer. On the other hand, you may be the kind of person who dreads the idea of living with a roommate. If that's the case, then you may want to consider selecting an apartment where you can have a private bedroom. A private bedroom will not only offer you the quiet and seclusion that may boost your studies (and your grades), but also offer you more storage space so that you can keep all those things from home close to help make your transition to college easier.

Two Intertwined Texas Tales That Are All About Trust
March 21, 2005, 1:00 a.m. EST 4 Min Read
Here are two tales from Texas. It's amazing what they have in common.
First, a story shared with me by Mark Arnold of Neighborhood Credit Union in Dallas. Neighborhood CU has been acting neighborly by reaching out to local Hispanics, many of whom are immigrants and low-income. As part of that it has been offering financial education classes on a variety of basic topics that you and I may take for granted but which many immigrants do not. In the course of reaching out, Arnold said the credit union has learned first-hand the often-shared cultural observation that most Hispanics are very distrustful of financial institutions.
While Neighborhood Credit Union has been looking outside, big changes have been going on inside two of its neighbors in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, which have announced they plan to become banks-Community Credit Union and OmniAmerican Credit Union. The initial reaction from the Texas league that two of its biggest affiliates were turning their backs on the credit union charter was muted. Instead, the league formed a task force and announced last week it was taking a firm stand on credit union conversions to mutual savings banks. Its position-it's opposed. Which is kinda what you want to hear from a group that has "credit union" in its name.
But the stand it's taken is one-legged at best. The Texas league released a statement saying its response has been to "embrace a plan to allow the league to serve as a source of information for credit union members who are trying to understand what such a conversion would mean to them."
That's all swell, especially since league CEO and CUNA Chairman Dick Ensweiler is an articulate spokesperson, but the phone calls coming into that hotline won't even disturb the Maytag repairman. After all, how many members, upon being informed their credit union wants to convert to a bank, react by saying, "Egad! I must call my state credit union league immediately!" Ask 99.99% of credit union members about "the league," and they'll respond by asking "National or American?"
Back at Neighborhood Credit Union Arnold said it found that by being patient and demonstrating it had the best interests of people at heart it was able to gain the trust of one Hispanic family who, over a period of weeks and months, arrived regularly at NCU with small amounts of cash to deposit. The ethnic groups may have evolved, but it's a story as old as credit unions themselves.
It's a story also true of Community CU and OmniAmerican. Both were founded in the 1950s and over the past five decades folks have learned to put their trust in them to the tune of more than a billion dollars in each. The CUs have always offered good service and good rates and done what's good for members. That's why waiting for members to inquire about whether a conversion to a mutual savings bank charter is good for them is akin to a patient calling the American Medical Association after his or her doctor told them the test results were just fine. After all, the patient takes the doctor at his or her word, just as members do with their CUs.
I recognize the tough position leagues are in when it comes to conversions. I've spoken to plenty of league presidents and have yet to meet one who doesn't believe the move to a bank charter is a bad one. But they also like their jobs, and have been told by some of their biggest dues-payers that they want the option to convert if all else fails. That said, if credit union leagues aren't willing to stand up and defend the value of credit unions, who will? To its credit, the Michigan league did.
The Texas league issued a statement noting that "while we do not wish to dictate to individual credit unions how they are to operate, we do believe there are certain principles to which credit unions must adhere to ensure they are truly doing what is best for their members."
The moment a credit union looks to convert it has ceased doing what is best for its members and started doing what's best for a core group of insiders. The league is right in that there are "certain principles to which credit unions must adhere." But principles are meaningless unless someone stands up for them. Finally, consider this. In a few years, if the management at Community and OmniAmerican get their way (and their members' equity), that's $3 billion in assets that will be joining a bank trade group. And just who do you think the bank trade groups will be attacking with those dues dollars?
As for that family of new members at Neighborhood CU, Arnold said they finally came to believe this union of people extending credit to one another would not be absconding with their savings, and one day showed up with more than $5,000 to deposit. They had been keeping the money at home in a mattress. Less than a week later thieves broke into the home and sliced open that mattress looking for the cash.
For the first time, that family found something into which they could put their trust. Too bad the trusting members of the other two CUs won't ever learn their own mattresses are being cut open. And worse yet, that those who know better aren't telling them.

Here are the milestones and missteps, the wonderful and weird, the best and worst, during a year that will be a powerful force in shaping the future of the industry
Banker's Glossary


Alliance Films has released the international trailer for Fernando Meirelles' Cannes hit Blindness.
Adapted from Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago's masterwork, BLINDNESS is a harrowing tale about the fragility of mankind. Directed by the Academy Award® nominated (City Of God) Fernando Meirelles, from a screenplay by the Tony Award® winning (The Drowsy Chaperone) Don McKellar, BLINDNESS stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga, Danny Glover and Gael Garcia Bernal.
Evocative of the recent SARS epidemic, or occurrences in the New Orleans Super Dome during Hurricane Katrina, BLINDNESS takes place in a city which is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts.
There is, however, one eyewitness to the nightmare; a woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble. Their voyage is fraught with danger, yet their survival and ultimate redemption reflect the tenacity and depth of the human spirit.
BLINDNESS reminds us of the shocking fragility of our social institutions, the thin veneer of our "civilized" world, and the responsibility for every individual to protect their dignity at all costs.


When news broke that Rihanna was reportedly launching her own luxury fashion house alongside LVMH, we questioned whether the development was just too good to be true. However, as new findings supporting the venture emerge, it would seem it's not.
While we're yet to uncover just what Rihanna plans to offer us via the launch of a new label, given the success that both Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty have seen, we have no doubt she'll once again fill another gap in the industry's market.
Said to be coined Project Loud Fashion – supposedly a nod to her 2010 album, Loud – Business of Fashion is reporting that the label will see to the "conception, fabrication, distribution, commerce, importation and exportation" of products ranging from womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, footwear and eyewear, to leather goods, sportswear, "goods linked to lifestyle", high-tech products, office supplies, home decor and garden products.
According to WWD, Rihanna has enlisted Jean-Baptiste Voisin, LVMH's chief strategy officer, to assume the role of Project Loud Fashion's president. In addition, LVMH has been said to have also already pulled multiple employees from Louis Vuitton and Celine that are now set to join the new label, with the address listed as 24-32 Rue Jean Goujon in Paris, the same address as the LVMH Fashion Group.
Via a series of financial findings acquired by French accounting firm Ledouble, Business of Fashion has confirmed that through her company Denim UK Holdings, Rihanna will be a 49.99 percent shareholder. As such, the multi-hyphenate has reportedly already invested over AU$47 million into her new label, while LVMH has contributed a little over that same figure.
As we await an official release date, further details regarding the venture and confirmation of the products Project Loud Fashion will offer, we've already begun picturing just what an armchair, iPhone case, and collection of office supplies designed by the singer will look like. Hint: we're guessing quite unlike any other.

Q: How to do Threading in Javascript So I have a large JSON object i'm returning from the server, then building a datatable from it and displaying it on the form. This usually takes a few seconds.. so I was thinking of a loading bar.
I have the logic behind the loading bar, however the loop that builds the hmtl data is locking down the browser and I cannot call out to the element i need to update.
Here is my function to do this:
function buildDataTable(db_table, container_id) {
    var $pb = $("

");
    $(container_id).html($pb);
    $pb.progressbar({
        value: 0
    });
    $.post("post location", {
        view: "all"
    }, function (data) {
        var headers = "";
        var contents = "";
        var jsonObject = $.parseJSON(data);
        var tik = Math.round(jsonObject.length / 100);
    for (key in jsonObject[0]) {
            headers += "" + key.replace(" ", " ") + "	";
        }
        for (i in jsonObject) {
            contents += "
";
            for (j in jsonObject[i]) {
                contents += "" + jsonObject[i][j] + "	";
            }
            contents += "
";
            if(Math.round(i/tik) == i/tik) {
/* if I run the alert (between popups) i can see the progressbar update, otherwise I see no update, the progressbar appears empty then the $(container_id) element is updated with the table i've generated */
                alert('');
                $pb.progressbar("value",i/tik);
            }
        }
        var html = "

" + headers + "

" + contents + "

";

        $(container_id).html(html);
        $(container_id).children("table:first").dataTable({
            "bJQueryUI": true,
            "sScrollX": "100%"
        });
    });
}

A: You can try using WebWorker: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Worker
Thus worker are executed in parallel of the main thread, you cannot exactly achieve multi-threading using workers: you cannot modify the UI from a worker.
You can maybe create your grid as a string in a worker and when the worker finish, append it where you want.

A: [Added my comment as an answer]
JavaScript is single threaded. You'll have to break your work up into pieces and call them in sequence using "setTimeout" to allow the GUI to update during processing (in between your calls) but even then the browser will still seem somewhat unresponsive.

A: If you do all the building of the Database in a setTimeout, the rest of the page should be responsive.
You can construct the html elements in that function, and when it is ready, attach it to the DOM. You will also have to call functions or send events to update the display of the progress bar.
Edit after comment:
This will run in background and won't affect responsiveness of the page:
window.setTimeout(function() {buildDataTable(db_table, container_id)}, 0);
You already update your progressbar from your function, so this should do it.
However, you might want to decouple the code generating the datatable from the code updating the progressbar.

A: So it appears the only clean way to do this in my application is to process the json on the server and build the html there. Then return the html to the browser via $.post()
The progress bar will be lost. however I can use a infinite loading gif...

In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama called for a 24 percent increase in the minimum wage, from $7.25 an hour to $9 an hour, arguing that "this single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families." But economists haven't been nearly as optimistic.

President Obama's Minimum Wage Hike Proposal is Wrong

In grainy, grayscale footage transmitted hundreds of thousands of miles across space, the world watched American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin achieve what some thought impossible: mankind's first steps on the moon.
In the 50 years since, 10 other American astronauts have been to the moon; the remaining 500-plus astronauts who have gone to space have stayed nearer to Earth aboard space shuttles and space stations. While the eyes of many — including SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former President Barack Obama — have shifted toward Mars, global fascination with traveling to the moon has not waned in the five decades since that first landing. Plans to study and eventually set up a colony on the moon are percolating internationally, and Europe, China, Russia, India, Japan and Israel have all sent probes there to investigate.
Since the last astronaut left the moon in 1972, it remains the farthest any human has ever been from Earth.
Those who remember watching the event unfold on July 20, 1969, along with the rest of the astronomically interested public, are gathering to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission across the U.S. this summer. In California, these range from black-tie galas with lunar astronauts in attendance to blowout parties at NASA facilities to family-friendly educational events focused on our lunar satellite.
More celebrations are still being finalized in advance of the anniversary, so keep an eye out for ones in your area. Here are the ones we are most excited about:
1. Meet Buzz Aldrin
The first event to mark the start of several weeks of celebration throughout the state was also the priciest ticket experience available, with Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin attending a special black-tie gala at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley to raise funds for his nonprofit, the Human SpaceFlight Institute, which will work to get humans beyond low-Earth orbit again. In addition to a multicourse dinner and a special silent auction, all attendees were given a short meet-and-greet or photo op with Aldrin.
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, 40 Presidential Dr, Simi Valley (Ventura County). Saturday, July 13. Tickets from $1,000 per person.
2. Telescope party at Griffith Observatory
L.A.'s Griffith Observatory is hosting a series of events to mark the Apollo 11 mission, including a 25-telescope star party and several screenings of the movie "Apollo 11." From July 13 to July 24, visitors can also learn about the significance of the six lunar missions and "track" the Apollo 11 mission at exhibits detailing where the crew was each day of the historic eight-day journey. On the moon landing anniversary (July 20), the observatory is hosting a full day of panels and talks to educate visitors about what it took to get to the moon — and how we'll get back to the moon again in the future.
Griffith Observatory, 2800 E. Observatory Road, Los Angeles. Saturday, July 13, to July 24; prices vary by event.
3. Star-gazing from an aircraft carrier
Docked off the coast of Alameda, the aircraft carrier Hornet had a long and admirable service record, including one special mission: recovering the Apollo 11 crew and command module after they splashed down in the ocean on July 24, 1969. To commemorate the golden anniversary, a special Apollo exhibit aboard the Hornet will detail the moon landing's historic involvement in recovering the Apollo 11 crew and command module, including opportunities to speak with the former crew that was involved in that mission. There will also be have an overnight astronomical viewing from the ship deck and a dinner with ex-crew from the historic mission.
USS Hornet, 707 W. Hornet Ave., Alameda. Events Tuesday, July 16, to July 24; prices vary.
4. Moon Month at the Exploratorium
San Francisco's famous interactive science museum is hosting a full day of festivities to mark the Apollo 11 anniversary. In addition to the Exploratorium's regular exhibits on a variety of science topics, you will get to view newly restored footage from NASA of the historic moon landing in 1969 in one of the Exploratorium theaters. You can also admire U.K. artist Luke Jerram's 16-foot spherical, accurately detailed moon sculpture as it hangs in the museum as part of Moon Month (happening all July). This massive moon is touring the world as part of the Museum of the Moon exhibit.
The Exploratorium, Pier 15, the Embarcadero, San Francisco. 10 a.m. to midnight Saturday, July 20; adults $29.95, youth/students/seniors $24.95, children $19.95.
5. Space karaoke
For the week of the lunar landing anniversary, Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland will host several events for those who want to mark the occasion. First, adults can take a full-moon "hike and sip," with a short night walk through nearby Redwood Regional Park followed by stargazing at the Chabot telescopes. In the museum on July 20, visitors of all ages can see moon-specific displays that show high-resolution moon photos, including some taken on Chabot's telescopes as well as the brand-new Lunaverse show in the planetarium. After 6 p.m., the museum will be adults-only offering drinks, space karaoke, dancing and more lunar-themed activities.
Chabot Space & Science Center, 10000 Skyline Blvd, Oakland. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 20; children $1, seniors $15, adults $18 plus $20 for the evening event.

Over 400 Less Privileged Patients Avail Benefit of Free Medical Camp in Diocese of Colombo
Believers Church Diocese of Colombo organized a free medical camp on 16th September 2016.
The medical camp was held at a Government School in a hilly area where most of the families work in tea factories to eke out a living. The staff of the church started the preparation work two weeks prior to the camp by visiting houses in the area, putting up posters and banners, giving information about the medical camp to the people in the surrounding places.
A total of 421 persons turned up for the camp. They were suffering from fever, flu, malnourishment, eating disorders, vitamin deficiencies, skin diseases, boils, migraines, urine infections, and wounds. After registration and basic checking of height and weight, free tests such as blood pressure, random blood sugar tests, and body mass index check-up were conducted for them by a team of 5 specialist doctors including 2 senior doctors, 3 government hospital nurses and 3 qualified pharmacists.
The patients were provided with free medical advice by the doctors and they were also offered free medicines. There were more than 25 children who received free medical check-up and medication for various viral infections, skin conditions and other medical problems.
On the same day, the church donated medical supplements, antibiotics, and vitamins to a local medical center there.
"I am very happy to say that we were greatly blessed through this medical camp. We usually cannot afford to go to the general hospital which is about 54 kilometers away, as we don't have money for transport and buying medicines," said a 61-year-old lady named Pushparani.

When you hire a mold contractor make sure to ask if they use third-party mold testing!
When you're looking for a mold contractor to take control of your mold situation, whether it's a home, a business, a medical center, or any other facility, you want someone you can trust. A business relationship built on trust is one you can be proud of. That's why Advanced Mold Diagnostics makes fostering trust a top priority with each of our clients.
One of the most important ways we do this is by using third-party mold testing. We believe that third-party testing is a huge advantage that we have over the competition, and it's an important demonstration of our commitment to trust and to helping our clients. We want our clients to feel informed about their mold situation, and also capable of making the important decisions regarding mold. Third-party mold testing helps us do that. Here's how.
Advanced Mold Diagnostics thinks that third-party mold testing is important for two main reasons.
The first is accountability. When you hire professional mold inspection that does testing, they will arrive with specialized equipment that can detect mold through walls, ceilings, and other obstructions. That means they can find mold that you might not have even known was there and take samples. Depending on how accessible the mold is, they might take samples from mold in an HVAC system or under outdoor cladding and stucco. And that is the extent of the onsite testing. The real work happens when they take those samples to the lab.
In the laboratory, mold testing will be run on those samples to determine what kind of mold you're dealing with (there are thousands of species of mold, and not all of them can be dealt with in the same way). Depending on the severity of the problem, your mold contractor will deal with the problem in different ways. This is why third-party mold testing is so important. If your mold contractor runs the tests themselves, that's a conflict of interest. A contractor might want to perform the more difficult (and therefore expensive) treatment, and if they do the testing themselves, they might find results that make that necessary. Third-party testing ensures that a neutral party decides the extent of the mold problem.
This leads us to our second reason: empowerment. If your mold testing company uses third-party testing but you never see the results, that company is still controlling your mold remediation choices. That's why Advanced Mold Diagnostics has our third-party tester send the results straight to you, the client. When you receive the results from the lab, you are able to see the type of mold you're dealing with and the choice to move forward is yours.
Advanced Mold Diagnostics takes its relationships with its clients very seriously, and third-party mold testing is a great example of our commitment to that principle. If you have any questions about the mold testing we offer call 1-800-642-8305. We look forward to hearing from you!
Is Abstaining From A Certified Mold Inspection Worth The Risk?
See for yourself: forgoing a mold inspection is just not worth the risk.
There are two extremes that we want to avoid when it comes to investigating something. On one end of the spectrum, we overlook and ignore clear signs that call for an investigation. Something was wrong and someone needed to look into it, but the warning signs only become clear after it's too late. The other extreme is being overly cautious and paranoid. Ordinary occurrences are misinterpreted as indications that something is wrong, despite the fact that there is nothing to worry about. When this occurs, an investigation can be embarrassing, since it will show that a lot of fuss was raised about nothing.
If you help operate a dialysis center, then you may be worried about falling into one of these extremes. You think that your center may need a certified mold inspection, but you don't want to go through with the inspection if nothing is wrong. But, at the same time, you don't want mold to persist and grow if it has already infested the building. So what do you do?
If you're in this position, then there is good news: there actually is no dilemma. You can never be too cautious about mold in your dialysis center. In order to prove this, let's look at the different ways your situation can pan out.
Here's the situation: you are not sure whether or not you should have a certified mold inspection for your dialysis center. Let's look at 2 options that you can take and the different scenarios that can result from your decisions.
Scenario A: There is no mold. In this scenario, there's no mold after all. While you are correct in your intuition that there is no real mold problem, you still worry about whether or not you have made the right choice. After all, while there's no mold, you don't know that for sure, since there was no inspection.
Scenario B: There is mold. In this scenario, your dialysis center has mold, but you are not aware of the problem since you decided to not have a mold inspector come in and examine your center. Since the mold is untreated, it spreads and causes more damage and air pollution in the center.
In Decision 2, you decide to have a certified mold inspector come and assess your dialysis center. Here are the two scenarios made possible by this decision.
Scenario C: There is no mold. In this scenario, the inspector finds no mold growth.. You may regret the fact that you hired an inspector despite the fact that there was no mold, but you also find comfort in the fact that your dialysis center is mold-free. You did not take the possibility of mold lightly, and now you can focus on other matters.
Scenario D: There is mold. In this scenario, the mold inspection discovers mold in your dialysis center. The proper steps are taken to remove the mold, creating a healthy, clean, safe environment for your staff and patients.
So if you're on the fence as to whether or not your dialysis center should have a certified mold inspection, just think about the worst that can happen. The worst case scenario is when you decide to forgo the inspection, and the best case scenario involves having a certified mold inspector assess your facilities. No matter what, a certified mold inspection will give you the peace of mind you need to keep your dialysis center running smoothly.
Avoiding a mold inspection is just not worth the risk. If you would like to consult with a certified mold inspector, then contact us at Advanced Mold Diagnostics. Call us today at 1-800-642-8305.
Commercial mold testing is the best way to determine if your business has a mold problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. Many businesses with mold use commercial mold testing done by a professional as a first step towards deciding to get professional mold remediation or not.
Unfortunately, sometimes commercial mold testing done inexpertly can be more of a hindrance than a help. Before you hire a professional to test your business for mold, make sure you consider the following.
Commercial mold testing can mean the difference between catching a mold problem before it gets out of control and falling prey to a mold infection that can seriously damage your indoor air quality and maybe even your business. Unfortunately, some so-called professional mold testing companies can do a substandard job, leaving you with the wrong information and leading you to make the wrong decision.
If the company finds none or negligible mold when there is a real problem, the situation can blossom out of control. But if they find that you need mold remediation when the problem really isn't that big of a deal, then you could pay for expensive mold remediation that you don't need. This means that you need to be selective when you hire commercial mold testing.
When you are looking to hire commercial mold testing, make sure that you are provided all the information you need to make a good decision. Sometimes, sketchy mold removal companies can take advantage of their customers by only providing them with the test results that would suggest they need mold remediation, then insisting that they sign up for mold remediation with that company. At Advanced Mold Diagnostics, we send all the material from our inspections to a third-party lab for testing, then send you the test results directly. That way, you have all the information at your disposal and can make the best decision for your business.
Unfortunately, not all mold removal companies are created equal. Some companies that conduct commercial mold testing don't successfully find mold when there is mold, or panic and report mold when there isn't a huge mold problem. To avoid experiences like this, make sure you are hiring accredited professionals that know what they are doing and have the clientele to back it up. Advanced Mold Diagnostics proudly holds more than a dozen certifications and can provide you the commercial mold testing you need for your business.
If you have any questions about commercial mold testing and the services that Advanced Mold Diagnostics can provide for you, don't hesitate to give us a call. We'd be happy to help you with anything we can.
An insider's look at what makes mold testing so difficult.
Mold is a deceptive substance. It can pop up all over the place, at the most inopportune times. Yet, while it seems to crop up at the worst time, it doesn't always announce its arrival. Mold is common, but that doesn't make it easy to find. This is the paradox of mold: it's all over the place and yet, nowhere to be found. Mold can infest buildings and structures of any kind, and stay under the radar.
Now, this observation doesn't need to be taken too far. Of course, mold isn't everywhere. And likewise, sometimes it's not always hidden. But the point is that, far too often, mold commonly infests places that you might not expect and hides in places that you may never find yourself. That's why professional mold testing is so important, especially for dialysis centers.
But what can make dialysis centers different from other places is that mold is to be expected in dialysis centers. Since dialysis centers use so much water, they are uniquely vulnerable to mold. So, you can't afford to assume that your dialysis center is mold free. You need an accurate mold test conducted by a certified mold inspector.
Equipment: The system of water distribution requires a lot of parts and constant maintenance, as you well know. Any piece of process line or equipment that is not maintained properly can be vulnerable to mold growth since moisture is always present . Every leaky seal, loose fitting, fractured pipe or other problem can invite mold growth.
Accidents: Accidents happen. That's just part of life. How many times have staff overfilled tanks in the water storage room or bi-carb mixing room? This can result in leaks and spills, which become prime locations for mold growth.
Moisture: While the water distribution and storage systems in dialysis centers make them common places for mold growth, dialysis centers can also have mold problems due to the sheer amount of moisture in the air (relative humidity). The constant presence of water should keep dialysis centers on the lookout for mold.
What makes mold testing tricky is not necessarily the testing of the mold itself, but making sure that you've inspected every area of the center for samples to inspect. At Advanced Mold Diagnostics, we provide the most thorough, effective and reliable mold inspection services. We have an established history with mold testing in dialysis centers, and we can help yours. Call us today at 1-800-642-8305.
As a facilities manager, you are responsible for many systems within your buildings, some complex and some not so. Of course, you're also responsible for keeping the roof from leaking, the pipes from clogging and deal with all the complaints of it's too hot, or it's too cold. Indoor air quality is also a concern and sometimes you just don't know what to do, if anything. The musty odor complaint is one you hate to hear as it's one of the hardest issues to deal with. That is why so many facilities managers turn to commercial mold inspection to make sure their indoor air quality is not affecting their staff or tenants. Keeping the fungal ecology (mold) inside the building about the same as the outdoors mold is of utmost importance.
Mold can be at the least an annoyance for some commercial business owners and it can be very serious when dealing with medical centers, and other work environments with lots of square footage to look after. The size of the building, its age, and the climate can all contribute to conditions needed for mold growth, which can become dangerous if left untreated. That is why Advanced Mold Diagnostics (AMD) is proud to provide the best commercial mold inspection for facilities managers like you. If you think mold remediation services might be what your business needs, read below to discover some frequently-asked-questions about exactly what you can expect from AMD.
Mold can be a big problem for commercial business owners, medical facilities, and anyplace that has employees with weakened immune systems. The size of the building, its age, and the climate can all contribute to mold growth, which can become dangerous if left untreated. That is why Advanced Mold Diagnostics (AMD) is proud to provide the best commercial mold inspection for facilities managers like yourself. If you think mold remediation services might be what your business needs, read below to discover some frequently-asked-questions about exactly what you can expect from AMD.
How does the mold inspection process work? When the AMD representative arrives, they will go over a comprehensive packet of information with you about mold and the mold inspection process. This packet contains a lot of important information on the problem of mold, including mold growth conditions, how to prevent mold growth, and safety information. This information can then be given to your employees to educate them. The representative will then gather background information about your building, the construction, and all related water incidents, etc. so that we know what we are dealing with. Next, the representative will use the equipment they brought to conduct a battery of tests and samples both inside and outside the property, guided by the information you provided, to find the problem areas and assess the situation.
What happens to the samples? After our extensive inspection, Advanced Mold Diagnostics sends all the samples we take, both indoor and outdoor, to a third-party laboratory for testing. We send those results straight to you for review. This step is important to AMD because we want you to have the information you need to make a decision about mold remediation straight from the source, not passed through us. When you are equipped with the information you need to make a decision about the next step, we hope that you will consider AMD for mold remediation.
If you think you might have a mold problem, call AMD today to set up a commercial mold inspection and start taking control of your mold problem.

We want to know what makes you a unique character.
To best assess this we have some video based questions to get to know you and what you are passionate about as well as assess why you want a career in the creative industry.
And to help us understand your ability to do the job, we have some skill based questions too.
What you
What's account service?
The account service department is responsible for the client and oversees the whole creative process from taking a brief to delivery of the finished project, working closely with all of the specialist departments in the agency and talking with the clients every day.
What's planning?
The planning department is responsible for account strategy – from top level business strategy of a client to the more specific strategy for a given marketing campaign. They work closely with the client and account service to define the problem and develop the brief, and then with creatives to ensure their ideas are in the right space.
What's production?
The production department is responsible for taking the approved idea and turning it into a real thing, whether that's a film, an app, an event, a poster, a website, or anything else. They work closely with the creatives to ensure their vision is brought to reality, and account service to ensure client objectives are met.
What would you be doing?
You'll spend the first 4 months rotating around the key departments in the agency. The remainder of the program will be spent in one of these departments, chosen based on an evaluation of your skills and performance in the rotation. You'll be supporting the teams in the delivery of real work for clients, learning the ropes and taking on more responsibility as time progresses.
What is the duration of the program?
It's a 10-month long paid program, with the first 16 weeks being training rotations, thereafter you will be placed in a department on an internship basis for the remainder of the program.
What happens at the end of the program?
If you've had a good year then we'll certainly want to keep you and will offer you a permanent position. That's why the program exists and in previous years most graduates have been offered a job. Worst case scenario you'll leave with some amazing experience at the most successful agency in Australia.
Are there any minimum criteria for application?
You don't need to have any specific academic qualifications. In this instance we're more interested in how you think, how you behave and the kind of person you are. We're looking for people that will thrive in a fast paced agency environment, so enthusiasm, dedication and good communication are a must. But beyond that, it's up to you.
How will you judge my application?
This is always going to be a bit subjective, but we want to get a feeling for who you are, how you think, how you've got where you are, and how you might fit in the agency.
Could I get a job as a creative?
Unfortunately no, that's not what this program is about.


THE PERFECT BALANCE OF STYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY.
With fast and reliable sensor activation, the miscea LIGHT dispenses soap and water with precision and makes hand washing a hygienic and enjoyable experience.
The miscea LIGHT system has a 2 L soap dispenser built directly into the faucet for convenience and comfort. It eliminates the need for separate hanging soap dispensers and the common problems experienced with these devices, such as dripping soap on surrounding surfaces.
Conventional hand operated faucets can waste a lot of water. With sensor controlled faucets from miscea, water savings of 60 - 70% can be realized. Using less water also means significantly reducing associated costs such as water heating or waste water costs.
Using high quality materials and components in miscea systems ensures consistently reliable performance and low maintenance - even in the most demanding of environments.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH A MISCEA LIGHT?
Get everything you need in one place, without touching anything for the ultimate hand hygiene experience every time. How? Watch the video and see how it works.
LETS YOU GET WATER. INSTANTLY.
No awkward delays. No random "ghost water" moments. Just water immediately when you need it. And it automatically turns off when you don't. Simple.
LETS YOU GET SOAP. TOUCH FREE.
Quickly gives you the right amount of soap with just a wave of the hand over the soap sector.
Various settings can be conveniently adjusted to suit personal requirements using the miscea remote control. This includes adjusting the volume of soap dispensed, the water safety feature and many other settings. See the full list of possible settings here. (Note: product sold separately).
miscea sensor faucet systems have an inbuilt safety feature to protect against the growth of waterborne bacteria. If the system has not been used for 14 days, an automatic spool cycle will start. This helps to prevent the growth of bacteria inside the faucet usually associated with stagnant water.
WHY USE A MISCEA LIGHT SYSTEM?
miscea systems ensure liquid products end up directly in the sink, keeping surrounding surfaces cleaner for longer. Cleaner spaces mean improved safety for everyone. As a result, the cleaning effort is minimized, which leaves more time for the important things.
miscea systems are produced with world-renowned German quality standards. Users can expect meticulous design, excellent quality and passion for outstanding workmanship. By producing at our own facilities in Germany, we can ensure the highest quality standards are met.
miscea sensor faucet systems are equipped with the latest sensor technology that allows them to regulate water usage by automatically switching the water on or off as needed. Special aerators integrated into miscea faucets also help to reduce water usage by enriching the water with air, resulting in a luxurious stream of bubbly water that is soft to the touch and non-splashing.
miscea systems enable good hand hygiene in public spaces to be realised with low operating and maintenance costs. The default settings are programmed so that exactly 1 ml of soap is used per hand wash, which allows miscea systems 1000 applications per 1 L of soap.
As a sensor faucet manufacturer, we have a special responsibility towards everyone who uses our products and the wider community. By only selecting materials that have been certified and proven to be safe when in contact with drinking water, we ensure the water quality remains unchanged.
The materials selected by miscea do not release harmful substances into the water and how miscea systems are engineered helps prevent bacterial growth inside the system. To help users more easily identify this, miscea has gained DVGW certification and WRAS product approval for all miscea sensor faucet systems.
Touch free, electronically controlled water faucet. Available with and without integrated soap dispenser.
Holds the liquid refill products securely in place. Only available with miscea LIGHT systems with integrated soap dispenser.
