New I-Ease PF: Preservative Free Eye Drops For Dry Eye

I-Ease PF was launched this week by BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc. This is BRS' new preservative-free version of I-Ease to treat dry eye, using their patented stem cell technology called S2RM Technology. I-Ease PF quickly and thoroughly relieves the dry eye condition, and does so not just by treating the symptoms, but instead helps heal the tissue leading to a reduction in pain, irritation, and inflammation. The key to I-Ease is the use of stem cell released molecules in their formulation, molecules that induce a natural healing response in the tissue.

This product is highly effective and without side effects!

Hair Regrowth Using Stem Cell Factors

Don't tell me, show me. Well, for all of you that asked, here's an example of how well BRS' Hair Stemulating Complex works. With a simple topical application of HSC, significant hair growth is typically seen within 6 weeks. I use the HSC product to thicken my hair. And the men's formula is expected to be released within a couple of months.

For those of you that would like a little more technical description of the stem cells in the scalp, please see Dr. Maguire's blog about stem cells in the skin and scalp. And, during this past week, Dr. Rita Friedman has a nice blog on maintaining quality of life in seniors. Please have a look.

Coping With Stress


When coping with stress, many people tend to use one of the three main coping strategies: 1. appraisal focused, 2. problem focused, or 3. emotion focused coping. Appraisal focused strategies are those that modify the way we think, for example employing denial, or distancing oneself from the problem. People may alter the way they think about a problem by altering their goals and values, such as by seeing the humor in a situation.

People using problem-focused strategies deal with the cause of their problem. They do this by finding out information on the problem and learning new skills to manage the problem. Emotion focused strategies involve releasing pent-up emotions, distracting oneself, managing hostile feelings, meditating (such as a 8-point program offered by Sri Eknath Easwaran), and using relaxation methologies, including using CDs (Liquid Mind) for example which is one of my person favorite relaxation CD series.
Most people use a mixture of all three types of coping, and coping skills will usually change over time. All these methods are useful, but some studies suggest that those using problem focused coping strategies will adjust better to life.
Men often prefer problem-focused coping, whereas women often tend towards an emotion focused response. Problem focused coping mechanisms may allow an individual greater perceived control over their problem, while emotion focused coping may more often lead to a reduction in perceived control. Therefore problem focused mechanisms may represent a more effective means of coping.
In coping with psychological stress, many studies show that the primary positive factor is to have relationships that provide care and support, create love and trust, and offer encouragement, both within and outside the family. Additional factors are also associated with resilience, such as the capacity to make realistic plans, having self-confidence and a positive self image, developing communications skills, and the capacity to manage strong feelings and impulses.
Research has also discovered the individual differences in coping. Self-esteem, ego-control, and ego-resiliency are related to behavioral adaptation. For example, maltreated children who feel good about themselves may process risk situations differently by attributing different reasons to the environments they experience and, thereby, avoid producing negative internalized self-perceptions. Ego control is the threshold or operating characteristics of an individual with regard to the expression or containment of their impulses, feelings, and desires. Ego resilience refers to the dynamic capacity to modify one’s level of ego-control, in either direction, as a function of the demand characteristics of the particular situation.
Research has shown that when maltreated children experienced some risk factors, such as single parenting, limited maternal education, or family unemployment, they exhibited lower ego resilience and intelligence than non-maltreated children. Further, maltreated children are more likely than non-maltreated children to demonstrate disruptive, aggressive, withdraw, and internalized behavior problems. Finally, ego resiliency, and positive self esteem are predictors of competent adaptation in maltreated children.
Demographic information, such as gender, and resources, such as social support, are also predictive of coping. Studying people's adaptation after the 9/11 attacks in NYC,  women were associated with less likelihood of coping than men. Also, individuals who were less involved in affinity groups and organizations showed less coping. Additional studies of coping in Vietnam war veterans found social support to be a major factor contributing to coping.
In my next blog, I’ll have more to say about coping strategies that can be learned and therefore give one better coping abilities in today’s highly stressed liviing conditions.

Eye Drops For Dry, Irritated Dry Eye Condition



Dry eye syndrome, or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is an eye disease in which the amount, or the evaporation of tear film is increased, or most importantly the quality of tear production is decreased. The translation of  "keratoconjunctivitis sicca" from Latin is "dryness of the cornea and conjunctiva".  Essentially dry eye syndrome is a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication, proteins, and moisture on the surface of the eye. Consequences of this condition range from subtle but constant irritation to severe ocular inflammation of the anterior tissues of the eye leading to disturbed vision.

Dry eyes can be exacerbated by smokey environments, dust and air conditioning and by our natural tendency to reduce our blink rate when concentrating. Purposefully blinking, especially during computer use and resting tired eyes are basic steps that can be taken to minimise discomfort. Rubbing one's eyes can irritate them further, so should be avoided. Conditions such as blepharitis, an infection of the lid margins, can often co-exist and paying particular attention to cleaning the eyelids morning and night with mild shampoos and warm compresses can improve both conditions.


Dry, drafty environments and those with smoke and dust should be avoided. This includes avoiding hair dryers, heaters, air conditioners or fans, especially when these devices are directed toward the eyes. Wearing glasses or directing gaze downward, for example, by lowering computer screens can be helpful to protect the eyes when aggravating environmental factors cannot be avoided. Using a humidifier,especially in the winter, can help by adding moisture to the dry indoor air. For mild and moderate cases, supplemental lubrication is an important part of treatment. Application of artificial tears every few hours can provide minor and temporary relief.
A new methodology for treating dry eye is now available from BioRegenerative Sciences. Using the molecules from stem cells in the eye that normally provide the proteins to the tears, the new product called I-Ease restores the quality of the tear film by restoring the proteins normally found in the film. These stem cell derived proteins in I-Ease not only protect the eye, but also help induce a healing response. People with severe dry eye, post-lasik irritation, contact lens irritation, diabetic cornea, corneal transplants, ulcerated corneas, and glaucoma patients with irritated eyes have all benefited greatly from I-Ease. I-Ease is much more efficacious than Restasis for dry eye, and unlike Restasis, has no side effects and no stinging. I know first hand this is a great product!

Exfoliation With Out Damaging Irritation: Age Management For Healthy Skin


Exfoliation has long been used as a means to attempt renewing the skin, doing so by irritating the skin to exfoliate the outer dead layer of the skin called the stratum corneum. Acids are commonly used to cause the irritation, and most often the acid is glycolic acid. While there is no question that glycolic acid induced irritation and exfoliation can have short term benefits, the long term effects of glycolic acid may be damaging and lead to premature aging of the skin. Although the long term effects of glycolic acid are poorly studied, a few papers do show deleterious effects. Therefore, if non-irritating  and safe alternatives to glycolic acid are available, I suggest using the alternatives rather than the glycolic acid.

Recently a new non-irritating exfoliating product has come to market called Moisturizing Night Cream by BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc. of San Diego, CA, for whom I am a member of the scientific advisory board. The philosophy at BRS is that “healthy skin is beautiful skin,” and everything we do is to make the skin healthy, and not damage the skin. Therefore the exfoliating products of BRS do not contain glycolic acid, rather the Moisturizing Night Cream contains naturally derived products that are normally found in the skin that super moisturize the skin and gently induce exfoliation without irritation.

I’ve personally used the product for many months during testing, and can say the product performs exactly as intended. When the Moisturizing Night Cream is used with Vital Serum from BRS, the results are remarkable. People ask me what I’ve done to look so young. While I always recommend proper nutrition, exercise, sufficient sleep, and supplementation…I recommend supplementation from within by ingesting vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and anti-oxidants, but I also recommend supplementation with high quality topical such as the cosmeceuticals from BioRegnerative Sciences.

Using The Planetree Model To Deliver Patient-Centered Healthcare


As BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc. begins to open a stem cell based healthcare clinic in Southern California, the basis for our technology is BRS’ S2RM Technology utilizing the molecules that multiple stem cell types release to induce healing.


Equally important to delivering the latest technology to the patient, are the services and processes that deliver the technology to the patient in a patient-centered, holistic, and healing atmosphere. To this end, progressive hospitals, beginning with University of California San Francisco’s Presbyterian Hospital, and now including many hospitals throughout the USA and Europe, have used a model system originally conceptualized by Angelica Thieriot. The inspiration for Angelica Thieriot arose during her battle with a rare viral infection. She sat staring at the cold, fluorescent lit blank walls of her hospital room. Overworked nurses hurried in and out without regard to Angelica as an individual, leaving her to sit alone for hours feeling lonely and afraid. She was disheartened to find that this lack of personalized care diminished the benefits of the hospital’s high-tech environment, leading to less than optimal healing.

Angelica’s experiences led her to envision a different type of hospital where patients could receive care in a warm, healing environment that would also provide them with access to the information needed to become active participants in their own care and wellbeing. Personalized, participatory healthcare, she hoped, would become the norm.

Planetree was founded in 1978 by Angelica using the name from the roots of modern Western medicine, which is the tree that Hippocrates sat under as he taught some of the earliest medical students in ancient Greece.

As stated by the Planetree non-profit organization, “The Planetree model of care is a patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare, promoting mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and physical healing. It empowers patients and families through the exchange of information and encourages healing partnerships with caregivers. It seeks to maximize positive healthcare outcomes by integrating optimal medical therapies and incorporating art and nature into the healing environment.

Planetree continues to innovate, broadening our collective understanding of the concept of healing, and continuing our network’s expansion so that a growing number of patients and caregivers can experience the dignity, compassion, and humanity that are hallmarks of the Planetree philosophy.”

We at BRS embrace these ideals of Planetree as we move forward with our Spa-like stem cell based hospital in Southern California.

Argireline Is Not Botox In A Bottle





PrintPDF




I
Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is known to be extremely neurotoxic, and causes flaccid muscular paralysis seen in botulism. Physicians use this as a commercial product called Botox or Dysport to paralyze muscles. Botox was developed by Dr. Allan Scott, an ophthalmologist in San Francisco, and Edward Schantz for the treatment of the two eye conditions strabismus and blepharospasm in the 1960s. My colleague, Dr. Greg Maguire, used Botulinum toxin in his research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA during the 1980s and 1990s and has told me how powerful this toxin is.....able to quickly induce paralysis at the neuromuscular junction. In 2002, the FDA announced regulatory approval of botulinum toxin type A (Botox Cosmetic) to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). When used for cosmetic surgery the Botox procedure is efficacious and safe and has only minor side effects.
The hexapeptide C{46}H{56}N{12}O{6}, (CAS 616204-22-9) termed Argireline, was produced by the Barcelona-based research laboratory Lipotec based on the Botulinum toxin molecule. Argireline is a shortened version of the Botulinum toxin molecule, designed to mimic the effect of Botulinum toxin in paralyzing muscles. There have been no double-blind studies of Argireline to prove an anti-wrinkle effect, and only one published study by the manufacturers. Anedotal reports are mixed, with some suggesting that a generalized sagging of the skin results from topical usage. Such a sagging effect is plausible given that the Argireline is applied topically without precise application to particular nerves as is performed in Botox injections. That is, if the Argirline really works, then the toxin is being applied all over the face, instead of precisely at specific nerves as is the case when surgeons inject botox. Such a generalized application of the toxin to the face may very well lead to sagging of the face.
My opinion is to use products that create beautiful skin by enhancing the health of the skin and avoid products, such as Argireline, that are toxins. Healthy skin, therefore beautiful skin, can be achieved by nourishing the skin from the inside and the outside. Such a program will include a good diet and proper hydration, and by applying topical products that are known to be safe and efficacious, such as anti-oxidants and naturally occurring factors found in healthy skin. New anti-oxidant, moisturizing, and stem cell-based topical products are appearing on the market that show great promise. The products that I have found most effective are from the biotech company in San Diego, CA called BioRegenerative Sciences, and include Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream.

The Best Anti-Aging Skin Products Make Skin Healthy

The most effective way to make your skin look good, is to make the skin healthy. While procedures such as a face lift, or products such as Botox, can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and decrease sagging, the skin may still appear old, damaged, dry, and lack luster.

So even if one is using these procedures or products, the need still exists to make the skin healthy to bring back that youthful, glowing luster of young, healthy skin. Why does young skin look so good, and heal so easily? The answer is that young skin contain many stem cells, and different types of stem cells to make the skin healthy. Adult stem cells induce their positive effects in the skin by releasing "healing molecules" into the skin's layers to orchestrate a healing response. A new company, called BioRegenerative Sciences, for whom I am a consultant, uses the molecules from different types of stem cells in the skin, and formulates the molecules into cosmeceutical products in order to reverse the effects of aging.

In this way, BRS' products, Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream serve to make the skin healthy, which naturally makes the skin look young and beautiful.

The World's Most Effective Anti-Aging Skin Care Products

I've been using BioRegenerative Science's new line of skin care products for several months and the results are fantastic. Not only can I see a very big difference in my appearance, but friends are asking what I have done to make myself look so much younger. Using Vital Serum, Eye Serum, and Moisturizing Night Cream from BRS has dramatically enhanced not only the appearance of my skin, but underlying this much improved appearance is more healthy skin. I can feel the difference, and I can see it.

Not only do these products contain BRS' S2RM Technology derived from combinations of adult stem cells, but the Moisturizing Night Cream also contains a new "super moisturizing" agent that both moisturizes the skin, but also provides a natural, non-irritating means to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin, called the stratum corneum. Other products usually contain acids, such as glycolic acid, to produce the exfoliation. But using these acids actually irritates the skin and over time this continual irritation will lead to increased aging of the skin.

The great thing about these BRS products is that they all make the skin healthy, and as a result the skin looks better.

Regrowing Hair In Female Baldness (Alopecia)

Partial baldness is not uncommon in women. Aging, environmental factors, and illness along with a genetic predisposition can cause female alopecia. Recently, scientific evidence has given us a much deeper understanding  of the mechanisms involved in hair loss, and how to prevent hair loss and actually regrow hair.

Basically, the hair follicle is rimmed with a number of types of stem cells. These stem cells in the follicle are responsible for growing hair and for making the hair's pigmentation. With aging, illness, and through environmental factors, these stem cells can reduce in number and effectiveness, resulting in graying and the loss of hair.

Last month, BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc. of San Diego, CA, with whom I am a consultant, released a new topical spray for regrowing hair and pigmentation in women's alopecia. The good news....this product really works! Women regrow hair in about 6-8 weeks following the beginning of treatment. Treatment is simple, you simply spray the product, called Hair Stemulating Complex (HSC), onto the affected area of your scalp. On average, women who have used the product see significant hair growth and pigmentation in 7 weeks.

How does HSC work? The HSC product works by reconditioning the hair follicle. HSC uses the molecules from stem cells taken from hair follicles, and formulates these stem cell molecules into the topical spray. Thus, when you spray the HSC onto your scalp, the molecules from stem cells are absorbed into the follicle and mimic the natural hair and pigment regenerating mechanisms naturally working in the hair follicle. My colleague, Dr. Rita Friedman, and I have both used the product with very positive results.

Treating Dry Vagina Syndrome and Vaginal Irritation

Yesterday BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc., a stem cell therapeutics corporation headquartered in San Diego, CA, USA, announced the release of Feminese Comfort Creme, a topically applied cream for relieving the pain and irritation associated with vaginal dryness. BioRegenerative Sciences' clinical studies of Feminese Comfort Creme demonstrated that the pain and irritation associated with dry vagina syndrome was reduced or eliminated in a matter of days following topical application. 

Feminese Comfort Creme works to restore the biochemical properties of the vaginal surface to a healthy state and increases vaginal secretions so that the tissue is no longer inflamed and irritated. Another words, Feminese Comfort Creme is an easily applied topical cream that replaces in the vaginal surface what was present in the normal, healthy tissue. Feminese  uses a technology, known as S2RM TechnologyTM where stem cell released molecules from multiple stem cell types are used to formulate the cream. In this way, molecules lost in the dry and irritated vaginal tissue are replaced using the Feminese cream.  This is an easy to use and very effective product that I highly recommend.

Probiotics Supplementation For A Balanced Microbiome And Immune Health


The microbiome is the collection of all microbes, their genetic elements (genome), and their environmental interactions and phenotypic expression in a defined environment, such as the human gut for example. Thus, the microbiome usually includes microbiota and their complete genetic elements. The importance of the microbiome can be put into perspective by understanding that we have over 10 times more microbes than human cells in our bodies. The term "microbiome" was coined by Professor Joshua Lederberg, a Nobel Laureate for his work on bacteria. In Dr. Lederberg’s opinion, the microorganisms should be included as part of the human genome, because of their critical influence on human physiology.


The flora of the human colon are an important microbiome and provide the mechanism for a strong immune system, good health, and the ability to properly metabolize many ingredients, including drugs, and longevity. As an example, one manner in which the immune system fights pathogens is with inflammation. Too much inflammation can be damaging, therefore the immune system has immune cells that produce inflammation-reducing signals. Drs. Sarkis Mazmanian and June L. Round at Caltech reported that mice reared without a microbiome, thus the healthy probiotics of the colon, can’t produce an inflammation-reducing molecule called IL-10. Therefore probiotics are the living beneficial bacteria, the beneficial portion of all the living microbes in our body, called the microbiome, that protect and enhance the function of our gastrointestinal tract and our immune system. 

The bacteria residing in our colon are commonly grouped into two categories based on the effect they produce in humans; referred to as “friendly” or “unfriendly” bacteria. The “unfriendly” bacteria produce toxins that contribute to long-term illness, chronic fatique, and degeneration of the body. “Friendly” bacteria that are also known as probiotics benefit the balance of the intestinal, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria, such as E. Coli, a bacterium so virulent that death can sometimes occur when infected with this strain.
 
Estimates suggests that there are several trillion friendly bacteria comprising over 400 species in the human gastrointestinal tract. Although Lactobacillus acidophilus, common in yogurt, is the most well known of these bacteria, others also play a crucial role in keeping us healthy, such as Lactobacillus salivarius/casei/rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum/longum/lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus. In a healthy colon the friendly bacteria outnumber the unfriendly, or pathogenic bacteria. Studies suggest that our colon maintains its health with 15% unfriendly bacteria, if the body contains at least 85% probiotic friendly bacteria, such as the Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria strains. However, in most people this percentage is reversed with damaging effects.

Many causes induce the unfavorable balance of the microbiome. Two commonly ingested damaging substances to the delicate intestinal flora balance are chlorine and sodium fluoride, present in most treated city water, and thus in most commercial beverages including soft drinks and drinks that are reconstituted with water.  Antibiotics, all too common in our diets, which are the opposite of probiotics, through their action to destroy bacteria, both the good and the bad bacteria upset the microbiome. Coffee, unhealthy eating habits, and stress can also disrupt the colon’s microbiome. Studies have also shown that as the good bacteria are destroyed, the potentially harmful bacteria increase rapidly, and that the translocation of the harmful bacteria from the intestinal tract and into the lymph nodes surrounding the intestinal tract occurs rapidly. From these lymph nodes, the bacteria then spread to cause new infections throughout the body.

The intestinal microbiome can be properly balanced with friendly bacteria by using probiotic supplements. These supplements are most effective if they’re designed to withstand the extreme acidity of the stomach. Further, the survival of friendly bacteria in the small and large intestines requires dietary fiber.  This is critical to our immune system. The gut is a huge immune organ where there are more immune cells then in the rest of the body. While eating yogurt is helpful, for most people this will not be enough to ensure replenishment of beneficial bacteria. Furthermore, commercially available fermented foods are, unfortunately, unreliable as sources of Lactobacilli because the lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide which Lactobacilli naturally produce may kill the good bacteria themselves if their concentration becomes excessive.

The most reliable way to supplement your diet with Lactobacilli is to make your own yogurt or sauerkraut, and to buy nutritional supplements that have been tested by an independent outside laboratory and list the concentration of viable bacteria found in culture. Lactobacilli are killed by heat, moisture, and sunlight. The making of tablets generates heat that lowers the number of viable organisms. Lactobacilli should be freeze-dried, in powder or capsules, in opaque moisture-proof containers. 

Friendly bacteria are living creatures that need nourishment to live and to multiply. When they receive nourishment, such as fiber, via the foods or supplements we take, they are able to maintain a stable population and can continue to maintain their beneficial properties. Another favorite food of friendly bacteria is FOS (fructooligosaccharides). Probiotic supplements that provide this food for the beneficial gut bacteria may, therefore, be more potent than just regular supplements. FOS is also found in fruits and vegetables such as bananas, nions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, barley, wheat, jícama, tomatoes,  leeks, and  the Jerusalem artichoke.


Because the stomach is a highly acidic environment that destroys all bacteria, including probiotics, if the friendly bacteria from our supplements are destroyed before they reach the intestines, where they are most needed, we will not enjoy their full benefits. This problem is obviated using probiotic capsules that are enteric-coated. Capsules that are enteric coated have protective layer to ensure that the probiotic bacteria will survive passage through the stomach and arrive alive to the colon.

Eye Drops For Dry, Irritated Dry Eye Condition


Dry eye affects millions of people, men and women, and is especially prevalent in women during their peri- and post-menopausal years. Contact lens wearers, those living in dry climates, corneal transplant patients, glaucoma patients using irritating prescription eye drops, sufferers of Sjogrens disease, a systemic autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears, vaginal secretions, and saliva, are some of those whom experience “dry eye.”

The dry eye condition is characterized by an insufficiency of the amount and/or quality of the tears that normally form a gel-like film on top of the cornea that is on the anterior surface of the cornea. Normally the tear film forms not only a cushioning and moisturizing protective layer on the cornea, but also provides nourishment and “wound-healing” functions to the cornea. When this protective and nourishing tear film is compromised, the cornea becomes irritated, inflamed, and the structural integrity of the layers of the cornea can be deconstructed, leading to impaired vision.

The end result of this condition can be constant irritation, pain, and impaired vision, i.e. a partial loss of sight decreasing the quality of life, and for many, resulting in a reduced ability to perform their daily tasks, including those tasks performed at their workplace.

A new product is now on the market from BioRegenerative Sciences (BRS) in San Diego, California, that alleviates the dry eye condition. Using stem cell-based technology, BRS’ eye drops, called “I-Ease,” restore the quality and quantity of the tears found in the normal, healthy eye. The nourishing factors are returned to the corneal surface by dropping I-Ease once or twice daily in the affected eyes. The “nourishing factors” are derived from adult stem cells that would normally be present in the eye to supply those factors to the tear film sitting on top of the cornea.

The results using I-Ease are far better than anything else on the market; irritation, pain, and impaired vision are all greatly diminished or eradicated using I-Ease. Whether the patient suffers severe dry eye, irritation from a transplant, allergies, irritation from contact lens usage, irritating glaucoma medications, or other corneal irritations, I have witnessed how I-Ease can greatly improve the indication.

A New Skin Care Technology (S2RM) Using Stem Cell Molecules

The dawning of a new age in Skin Care is upon us, and yes, as you may have guessed from the title of my blog, stem cell technology is the basis for my enthusiasm. Last year I became part of the scientific/medical advisory board of a new biotech company in California whose specialty is the development of therapeutic products, including "cosmeceuticals" for aging and damaged skin. Bioregenerative Sciences (BRS) of San Diego, California uses a core technology whereby the molecules that stem cells normally release into the skin to maintain the skin's health and beauty are formulated into very effective topical products. Working with the scientists, physicians, and formulators who are developing the products, I have had a chance to help BRS develop easy to use and highly effective products that I have been using for months.....and the results are fantastic!

Friends and colleagues that know me well, and see me routinely, say that I look different....I look younger. Indeed, I can report that my skin not only looks better, but feels and looks healthy and refreshed. Having tried many products in the past, some of which worked well, I can easily say that the BRS products are by far the best. Given the new BRS technology, where the molecules from different sets of stem cells (different sets of stem cells that are normally releasing their molecules into the skin for purposes of tissue rejuvenation) are used, one should expect these products to deliver...and indeed they do!

I will have much more to say about these products from BRS in the coming weeks ahead.
