DEMA 2006 Special: The Funky Stuff
Posted By DEMA Team on 11 November 2006
Got motion sickness?
On land, in the air or at sea J&M Distributors claims they have the solution for anybody experiencing motion sickness. Their simple and magical cure: a tiny vial of essential oils called MotionEAZE. Different than other motion sickness medications, MotionEAZE allegedly stops motion sickness AFTER it starts and apparently provides instant relief when properly applied. The symptoms of motion sickness begin in the inner ear. When MotionEAZE oil is applied just behind each ear lobe the oil is absorbed through the skin. The active ingredients travel to and calm the inner ear, in turn calming the symptoms. Containing no artificial additives, stimulants or drugs of any kind, MotionEAZE is an all natural solution that removes nausea and is guaranteed to work. Guaranteed or you get a full refund from the manufacturer
We will be doing some real and controlled DB field tests of our own using this new found curing oil on a few dive master guinea pigs and we'll get back to you all with whatever the results are - good, bad or neutral.

Microban QGC
You wake up in the morning, looking forward to packing up for an upcoming dive trip to Truk Lagoon in the South Pacific. When you open the closet where you store your wetsuit, the downright funky smell that emanates nearly keels you over.
Or how about this: You get to Truk and realize you forgot your regulator, and wind up having to rent it from the dive shop. How many mouths do you think have kissed the regulator you rent?
Coraopolis, PA-based Microban Systems this week introduced a special cleaner the company developed that not only cleans your diving gear, it disinfects and deodorizes as well. Microban QGC's formula also includes a fungicide, mildewstat, virucide and bactericide all in one.

Herbal Tea for Divers
Yet another unusual product we found on the show floor at DEMA, Diversitea pronounces itself as the tea for divers. Developed by a woman named Janine Davis, Diversitea comes in two blends: Original and Sunset. Both teas are allegedly able to remove nitrogen waste from the body through the ingestion of Molybdenum a trace mineral that plays a role in the control of aging in the body, along with the formation of uric acid (purine metabolism), which is a powerful antioxidant. This tea was created with myriad herbal supplements such as galangal, hibiscus and orange peel so the tea is supposed to taste good - but if you take this one woman's opinion it tastes awful and leaves a bitter/chemical aftertaste in your mouth. You be the judge.
