Bamboo Pro™ Self-Warming Knee Support Review + Giveaway

We ordered the Bamboo Pro™ Self-Warming Knee Support in XL and just so you know this fits my husband who weight just under 400lbs but he does have more muscular legs then fatty legs. He suffers from Edema from and injury to his leg almost 2 years ago.

A little about my husband's accident. He fell on the ice outside of his job causing a full quad tear in his left leg. The muscle literally ripped right away from the bone. He is still dependent on a cane and has pain in his knee most days. Having this self warming knee support is nice for the days his leg feels a little worse then normal.

To be honest I was a little surprised the Bamboo Pro™ Self-Warming Knee Support even fit because in the past 2 years we have had a hard time finding supports and had to have them custom made. I am going to let our Dr. know about this so he can maybe send other patients to this site who are in need of a support that fits.

My husband only uses this while sitting, not walking as his leg is tapered and as of yet we have not found a support that stays where it needs to be, so he hasn't even tried it while walking but will report back if I can get him to wear it for a day to let me know if it stays put.

You can buy the Bamboo Pro™ Self-Warming Knee Support on Healing Tree. One lucky MarksvilleandMe reader will win one Bamboo Pro™ Self-Warming Knee Support in their choice of size. Starts 12/22/2014-01/12/2015. Open to USA residents only.

What the Healing Tree has to say about their product

Bamboo Pro™ supports contain Bamboo Charcoal Technology that offers self-warming properties. Unlike normal supports, it activates with your body heat to bring restorative warmth to your muscles, cartilage, and joints. Natural heat increases blood circulation, which in turn delivers proteins, nutrients, and oxygen to the affected area. This helps ease discomfort, relieve achy joints due to aging, enhance muscle performance, and recovery.
And if you overheat, bamboo charcoal can fluctuate in temperature to provide cooling relief. Bamboo Pro™ is safe, effective, and easy to use. It can be worn all day and night for long-lasting, natural relief. Over 50,000 supports sold!

Bamboo Charcoal --> Natural Heat, which Improves:

Blood Circulation
Muscle Relief
Achy Joints due to aging
Inflammation after workouts
Fatigue
Soreness
Mobility
Flexibility
Discomfort
Recovery

Size Circumference:

Small: 11.5" - 13"
Medium: 12" - 14"
Large: 14" - 16"
X-Large: 16" - 20"

How to Measure:
Measure the circumference of your thigh 4" above your knee cap.

Materials:
43% Bamboo Charcoal Viscose, 32% Polyamide Fiber, 17% Latex Elastic, 8% Polyurethane Fiber

Directions for Use:
For best results, wear the Bamboo Pro™ support directly on your skin. The support does not need to be tight or constricting for the bamboo charcoal to activate.

Care Instructions:
Machine wash in cold water. Dry on gentle cycle, low heat. Bamboo charcoal is high in absorption so to release odors and pollutants it may have absorbed, place the product in sunlight or under a full spectrum light bulb once a month for an hour, or as desired.

How Bamboo Charcoal is made:
We take Bamboo stalks from sustainable forests and fire them in a kiln for up to 1,800 Farenheit for 2 weeks long. This pyrolysis process creates a bamboo charcoal powder known as "Black Diamond". From there, it activates with your body heat for self-warming, natural relief. So by itself, it does nothing. It requires body heat to activate.

Bamboo Pro Supports Recovery for Our Troops - Charity Program:
We provide FREE $50 Care Packages with Bamboo Pro Supports for anyone who has served in the military and sufferes from joint issues. Requests can be made by emailing: joe@healingtreeproducts.com

Easy@Home Bluetooth Body Fat Digital Scale Review

The Easy@Home Bluetooth Body Fat Digital Scale is another great scale for those who need a scale to reach 400lbs. I have reviewed a few of these Digital scales now and each time I learn more and more about what they can do to make losing weight more exciting.

I love being able to see my loses as I reach closer to my goals each month. I had a bit of a set back when I was sick because I wasn't moving much but now that I am pretty much back to my old self I am ready to get back on the scale again.

OK maybe after Christmas...wink.

I have one Digital scale that I had an extremely hard time setting up in my home and if you even move it a few inches the weight is so far off you don't know if you lost a lot of weight or if you gained a ton.

With the Easy@Home Bluetooth Body Fat Digital Scale I found that I didn't have to fight to find a place to put it in our old rented uneven house. This has given me a new push to lose weight.

You can purchase the Easy@Home Bluetooth Body Fat Digital Scale on Amazon or Website.

Learning Success Review + Giveaway

I have two daughters with a bit of a delay in learning and this program could not have come at a better time. We had really thought about just pulling the girls out of school to home school, but for now I am going to give this a whirl. They say you should start seeing improvement within 3 months. I am a little over a week into the program.

At first they start you off with setting up a notebook so that you can keep track of the lessons they will send you. After about a week of getting your book ready and getting used to what you can work into your schedule you will start to receive lessons to download and do with your child.

Don't worry the program teaches you to teach your child so you won't be left wondering what to do. This I like. I have home schooled before, and it went wonderful, so you don't need to know how to home school to take advantage of this program, you can fit in daily lessons around your schedule.

Some children are able to catch up and be at grade level in about a 3 months and some take longer depending on how far behind they are from their peers. I have two very energetic girls left in our home that want to play after school, and don't always tell me when they have homework. If you are like me with the new Core, you might not even be able to help them with their homework and this makes it frustrating for everyone.

With Learning Success I am able to help my child in areas that I am able to and the school is left with teaching the Core, which often comes with no directions for the parents to be able to help their child. I did talk to our school and was told about a site that could help me understand the Core, but to be honest the Learning Success system fits better within my time constraints.

If you are like me, having a busy family then this might be something you would like to try out with your child. The site even has a place where you can test to see if you child might have a learning disability. Awesome I know but remember always check with your Dr. before just assuming your child has a learning disability, it is only a test and something that will need to be followed up on if you believe your child has a learning disability.

I am looking forward to helping my girls achieve what their hearts desire, and Learning Success is helping me do that.

What Learning Success has to say bout their program

Is your child having trouble in school?

The learning success program is a simple do-at-home program that will show you how to find the core problems and overcome them. Learning is made up of basic core skills. There are 16 of them in all. Typical learning difficulties are small weaknesses in a combination of two or three of these skills. Helps overcome learning difficulties such as:

Dyslexia
Dyscalculia
Dysgraphia
ADD/ADHD

Each of these terms simply means that there is a weakness in two or more of these basic learning skills. But it doesn't define which. Once you get started in the course you'll quickly find the trouble spots. Once you do that your child will be on the path to learning success. You will learn simple exercises that strengthen the skills needed for successful learning. Modern scientific breakthroughs have discovered a number of methods for overcoming these problems. Once you do your child will actually enjoy homework.

The normal price for this course is $564
