I've never had a port, I always just had a PICC Line but I do have an Ileostomy and it took me YEARS to finally get the courage to get a massage! I was so afraid they were gonna be grossed out. Turns out - they see stuff like that all the time and were super laid back about it. The massage was amazing and my bag didn't affect it at all! I tweeted this article to my followers!

We had a hard time finding information as well but we did come across an ingredient “sell sheet” that provided some additional information. <br /> <br />Syn-ake is an anti-wrinkle material based on a synthetic tripeptide that “mimics” the effects of a peptide found in the venom of the Temple Viper snake. It was created by Pentapharm Ltd, a Swiss based chemical company. Reportedly, they are the largest snake breeders and keepers in the world too.<br /><br />According to the company literature, Syn-ake acts in a manner similar to a peptide in snake venom. It supposedly blocks some receptor and keeps muscles relaxed. This is supposed to smooth out your wrinkles. The relaxation of muscles is also how Botox is supposed to work.<br /><br />In the chemical sell sheet, data is presented from 2 studies. The first suggests that Syn-ake can reduce muscle cell contractions in a laboratory test. That’s not in people but in a cell culture of muscle cells.<br />The second study shows that after 28 days of using a Syn-ake laced cream, you get a shrinkage of up to 52% of wrinkle.<br />That must mean something, right? Well, maybe not.<br /><br />The data presented as proof that Syn-ake works raises a number of questions. For example,<br />What was the placebo that Syn-ake was compared to?<br />Where is the proof that Syn-ake penetrates to the lower layers of the dermis where it might possibly have an effect?<br />How does the performance compare to Botox or any other anti-wrinkle treatment?<br />How many subjects were tested?<br />Who did the testing and was it blinded?<br /><br />I could go on but there’s really no point. The data presented here is incomplete and not useful for drawing conclusions. A quick search of the medical literature revealed that there were no peer reviewed studies of this ingredient. With such thin data and such incredible claims, I remain skeptical.<br /><br />Then you have to add in the Marketing speak that runs throughout their press materials. Notice they don’t claim that Syn-ake is a peptide found in snake venom. It only says that it “mimics the effect” of a peptide found in snake venom. It also says Syn-ake “acts in a manner similar to that of Waglerin 1″ (the compound in snake venom shown to block the acetylcholine receptor).<br /><br />“Mimics” and “Similar to” are weasel words that cosmetic marketing companies use when they want to create the impression that two things are related even when they aren’t. You could say body wash mimics soap but that doesn’t mean they are the same thing.TheBeautyBrainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280650131850162303noreply@blogger.com
