Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is getting a care package this week and its not bags of tea (Limbaugh offers his own brand and is a long-time advocate of tea drinking) but rather tiny capsules containing extracts of a red wine molecule resveratrol – which has been acclaimed for its health benefits. The package is a gift from Bill Sardi, founder of one the nations leading red wine pills, Longevinex, who decided that the best way to fight back against Limbaugh was to turn the other cheek, and send the talker a package that includes a one year supply of his product, a package of Godiva chocolates and chocolate versions of two Limbaugh favorites: cigars and golf balls.

It was Limbaugh who fired the first shot when he declared on his nationally syndicated radio show, that the researchers “made up” all the science behind resveratrol, the key ingredient in products like Longevinex.

“They made it all up, dillup dillup, they made it all up,” Limbaugh said in his finger-wagging radio style language.

In Limbaughs now infamous statement he referred to alleged scientific fraud involving a university researcher who had produced research that a red wine molecule turns mortal heart attacks in animals into non-mortal events. What Limbaugh failed to mention is that the science has been duplicated by others and has been documented for over a decade.

No telling if Limbaugh is about to switch from tea to wine pills, but Sardi believes that the science says there are some remarkable things about resveratrol that tea cannot duplicate. And some resveratrol advocates think the nerve-sparing properties it contains could even have helped to prevent Limbaughs well publicized loss of hearing and could even result in regaining a few decibels of his lost audio sensitivity. The big question: “is he listening?”

Thousands of Americans die from a sudden heart attack without warning every year and Sardi concurs with a leading cardiology researcher who laments that there hasn’t been one human clinical trial involving resveratrol and heart health in the past decade since these pills became more widely available and their science hailed in scientific reports.

For his part, Sardi is giving Limbaugh a call to action: try the red wine pills and let your audience know how they make you feel, and before you speak in the future please check all your facts.

Valentines day is around the corner and lovers everywhere will soon be shopping for gifts to reflect how they feel about their partner. So what are some of the ultimate love gifts? Over the last decade, the health and wellness industry has shown to the public that a romantic relationship can be cared for in the same way skin, figure or health are nourished. So this year, instead of buying their sweetheart a grooming tool or beauty accessory, Fun Factory invites all lovers to buy a gift that benefits their relationship in a new way. Fun Factory, a leading manufacturer of lifestyle and couples products, creates perfect items for lovers, partnering with therapists and doctors to bring sensual objects into mainstream America. The company manufactures German-made, body-safe massage oils and spot on, vibrating massagers. These beautiful couple-friendly items provide an easy way to develop the emotional and sexual health of a relationship. Products like these are sure to spice up anyone’s Valentines Day and beyond.

Kissable Body Paints:

A classic example of a playful moment involves two people and something edible. Grab some strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla body paints and use each other as the canvas. Draw a heart, write, I love you, or just doodle with a special someone. With no artificial flavor or additives, these are the tasty way to play.

The YOOO:

This massagers playful appearance hides two powerful motors with multiple speeds and vibration patterns. It can be used as a neck and back massager and is perfect for exploring with one’s partner this Valentines Day. Start with a deep back massage and see where things lead…

Luxurious Massage Oils:

There is nothing like a sensual aromatic massage to show one’s love and appreciation. Made with argan oil and vitamin E, Fun Factory’s scented oils heighten the senses and pamper the skin. They can be used year round for baths or a deep massage.

Smartballs:

Think of Smartballs as the easiest exercise that ever made a woman sexier. These body-safe silicone coated balls encase small weights that move on their own to exercise pelvic and vaginal muscles. Not only does this result in more control and a tighter feeling, but it also can prevent a variety of other health issues, including incontinence and prolapse. Being healthy is sexy especially when you feel the results!

As couples health receives more attention, expect to see more and more sensual items appearing next to boxes of chocolates and bottles of wine. Until then, look for body-safe beauties like these and share the love.

These gifts and more are available on funfactory.com.
