(PRWeb UK) February 20, 2011

On Tuesday, 8th February, El?gance donated a cheque for 48,780 euros to Breast Health International; a non-profit foundation whose mission is to give all people affected by breast cancer the tools necessary to have the best quality of life, regardless of background or financial circumstances.

Following on from the campaign launched in October 2010, to support women affected by breast cancer, El?gance the ready-to-wear label, has raised 48,780 euros for Breast Health International.

The El?gance brand created a limited edition T-shirt in three colours (fuchsia pink, black and white), decorated with the pink ribbon, the international symbol of breast cancer, in Swarovski crystals, as well as a matching silk scarf.

3,955 T-shirts and 923 silk scarves have been sold worldwide, totalling 4,878 articles.

10 ? per item were donated towards BHI?s Fund For Living program, a total amount of 48,780 euros was reached ? an amount five times more than they had anticipated.

Laurent Lingelser, Marketing and Communications Director of the El?gance label handed a cheque of 48,780 euros over to Susan L Schwartz, President of Breast Health International, on Tuesday, 8th February 2011 at 7 pm, in the prestigious Parisian El?gance boutique situated at 10, rue de la Paix. This amount will enable the Fund For Living program to expand even further throughout Europe.

?I have to thank everyone at El?gance for their commitment to the women of Europe. The funds raised will make such an impact and help so many people. It will be a pleasure to work with them next year.? declared Susan L. Schwartz after receiving the cheque.

Given the success of this initiative, El?gance wishes to repeat it in 2011. Therefore, El?gance will launch two limited edition articles ? a scarf and a long-sleeved T-shirt ? in October 2011, worldwide breast cancer awareness month.

Other labels have supported and continue support Breast Health International and its Fund For Living campaign. In 2005, the Versace couture house was an important sponsor of the association. Donatella Versace also was the face of the advertising campaign that year. Since 2006, the Tommy Hilfiger brand has launched a limited edition bag every year, in partnership with celebrities, for instance, Carla Bruni in 2007 and Milla Jovovich in 2010.

BioMat Offers New Alternative Cancer Treatment for Patients Looking for Holistic Health and Wellness Option

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) July 13, 2011

The BioMat employs quantum energy technology to alleviate several issues and illnesses, including cancer, Lyme disease, high blood pressure and more. Heat or thermo-therapy can help increase the delivery of oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, important for good health, and attack cancer cells, stimulating the body?s immune response, making it an ideal addition to any natural or alternative cancer treatment program.

?When people get sick, they get a temperature, which helps them fight the virus that is making them ill. Likewise, simply increasing the body temperature by one degree from the unique support of the BioMat can increase a person?s immune response significantly,? said Calvin Kim, Owner, RichWay, manufacturer of the BioMat. ?We are very pleased to offer this patented, safe and natural treatment for cancer and other conditions.?

The BioMat provides an alternative cancer treatment with the combination of infrared rays, which can penetrate up to six inches into the body, attacking cancer cells, negative ion therapy, which boosts the immune system, supports waste removal and restores balance to the body, and pure amethyst, a superconductor which can soothe the central nervous system.

BioMats are available in two options: the BioMat Professional, which is a 32? x 78? full-body mat that is the size that is primarily used, and the BioMat Mini, a smaller 17? x 33? mat, which can be used for travel or in addition to the BioMat Professional. Patients can select from a variety of temperatures and options and benefit from as little as 10 minutes a day on the mat.

?As a natural treatment that can make an incredible difference in people?s lives, the BioMat is easy to use, affordable and convenient ? it doesn?t require expensive office visits and it helps patients feel and function better right away,? stated Kim.

More and more doctors continue to recommend BioMats to their patients; the mat is a U.S. FDA-registered medical device for pain management. In addition, many alternative therapists appreciate the healing benefits of thermo-therapy, turning to the BioMat when radiation is unsuccessful. In addition to providing an alternative cancer treatment, the BioMat can also help reduce stress and fatigue, improve sleep, purge toxins from body and more.
