LaboFlex Arnipatch: A Natural Solution for Stress-Related Muscle and Joint Pain Relief
(IRVINE, CA) APRIL 2025 – With the stress of the economy and the barrage of global news disrupting lives, many turn to exercise and favorite outdoor activities to find relief. However, a vigorous tennis match, a cross- country run, or a round of golf, though it is beneficial, also can trigger physical stress-induced discomfort and pain. Per a Cleveland Clinic study, ‘stress can lower the body’s threshold for pain making chronic musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis, muscle, and joint pain more debilitating[1]’. Luckily there is now a new pain reduction technology from LaboFlex Arnipatch™ whose hydrogel pain patch provides immediate non-invasive relief for stressed muscles and joints for up to 12 hours.
The Mayo Clinic reiterates the benefits of physical exercise that provides stress relief. It pumps up the endorphins, that brain feel-good neurotransmitters. Exercise can cut down the negative effects of stress, reducing the fight-or-flight response. Exercise can also improve mood so that one is inspired to keep going. However, with these benefits, one can easily engage in too much exercise, too fast that brings on the physical pain.
Because each LaboFlex Arnipatch hydrogel pain patch is infused with Arnica 1X HPUS, a science-backed, homeopathic analgesic that targets inflammation and bruising at the source, alleviating muscle and joint pain throughout the day and night, the exercise induced pain can be addressed quickly, efficiently, and affordably.
Arnica is used topically for a wide range of conditions, including bruises, sprains, muscle aches, wound healing, superficial phlebitis, joint and muscle pain. Homeopathic preparations are also used to treat sore muscles, bruises, and other conditions caused by overexertion or injury.[2]
Mr. Nam the CEO of LaboFlex says, “each Arnipatch hydrogel pain patch is designed to provide soothing relief for sore muscles and joints as well as musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis, golfers elbow and runner’s knee for up to 12 hours, providing a safe solution for people to stay active and reduce their stress.”
Arnipatch unscented pain relief patches hydrate and protect the skin, while providing soothing long-lasting relief for sore muscles and joints and can be combined with other pain and stress solutions for an overall wellness program.
LaboFlex’s Arnipatch hydrogel pain patches are available for sale on Amazon.com.
Posture and why it’s important
Minor posture corrections lead to significant improvements in spinal health. Making small adjustments to your posture throughout the day can help you avoid pain and discomfort when transitioning from standing to sitting—this is especially important for people prone to sciatica which poor posture can worsen according to Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo.
Mattresses and your back
Selecting the best mattress involves understanding its impact on spinal alignment. The foundation of quality sleep begins with selecting the correct mattress. Back problems and aggravated herniated discs can result from using the wrong mattress. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can describe important mattress features that provide adequate spinal support during sleep.
Protecting Your Back at Your Desk- How to create a spine-friendly work configuration
Working at a desk station can be spine-friendly if your workspace is set up properly. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo recommends modifying your chair, desk, and computer to create a spine-supportive workspace which prevents discomfort like sciatica.
Sitting Is the New Smoking: How a Sedentary Lifestyle Hurts Your Spine
Your spine suffers when you sit all day especially if you suffer from sciatica or a herniated disc. Extended periods of sitting place undue stress on your lower back and inflame the nerve roots. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can provide advice for maintaining movement during your day to minimize health risks.
How to lift heavy items correctly in your daily life
Improper lifting techniques can damage your spine permanently which may result in conditions such as herniated discs and sciatica. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can provide easy-to-follow tips to lift heavy items safely while preventing common errors that result in injury.
Stress and back pain
Stress creates unexpected connections to back pain through muscle tension and spine health problems. Your back is one of the primary areas where symptoms of stress manifest themselves. Stress-induced muscle tension can make sciatica worse while also causing disc complications. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can explain how stress reduction leads to improved spinal health.
The link between exercise and a healthy spine
A healthy spine requires regular exercise as much as the heart does and this becomes crucial for people who have experienced sciatica or herniated discs. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can explain which low-impact exercises strengthen back muscles and maintain spinal flexibility to prevent additional injuries.
Diet and back health
Strong bones and discs require proper nutrition to maintain strength. A nutritious diet can lessen inflammation and promote healing in your spine if you suffer from a herniated disc or frequent back pain. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo can explain the supportive role of calcium and vitamin D along with magnesium for maintaining spinal health.
Tech Neck: Prevent back pain caused by prolonged screen time
Excessive usage of phones and computers can cause "tech neck" which worsens conditions such as sciatica and herniated discs. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo recommends practical methods to reduce spinal strain which include proper screen adjustment and sitting posture along with taking regular breaks.
Back Pain: Should you stay active or rest?
People who experience back pain frequently question whether they should stay in bed or maintain their activity levels. Avoiding strenuous activities which worsen pain remains crucial but doctors generally advise against prolonged complete bed rest. Low-impact exercises like walking and stretching help heal your body by reducing stiffness and building strength in your spinal support muscles.
Spinal Health Myths: What's Fact and What's Fiction
Several incorrect beliefs about spinal health persist such as people mistakenly thinking surgery is the sole solution for back pain or that herniated discs cannot be treated. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo debunks false beliefs about spine conditions and explains effective treatments for sciatica and herniated discs through non-invasive methods and lifestyle modifications.

US Farmers Expected to Increase Corn Acreage as Prices Remain Resilient
Spring planting forecast shows reduction in soybean, wheat, cotton and grain sorghum acres with corn picking up the real estate
DENVER (February 20, 2025)—U.S. farmers are projected to shift acreage to corn this spring as corn prices maintain an impressive run while prices for competing crops struggle to keep pace. Corn prices have been buoyed by tight global stocks, strong export demand and record ethanol production. Profitable feeding margins in the livestock and poultry sectors are also supporting corn demand.
According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, corn is expected to pull acres from soybeans, spring wheat, cotton and grain sorghum when the spring planting season gets under way. The report projects total U.S. planted acreage for each of those crops based on statistical regression analysis and information from grain cooperatives and merchandisers across the U.S. The report also outlines scenarios and global market dynamics that could impact acreage allocation decisions before planting starts.
“While farmers tend to stick to historical crop rotations for agronomic reasons and market diversification, corn’s price rally relative to other crops suggests a major shift in acreage is in the offing,” said Tanner Ehmke, grains and oilseeds economist with CoBank. “We’re still several weeks away from the start of planting season, which means the acreage balance is still in flux. Multiple factors could shift how acres are traded around the U.S., but the current price environment suggests corn will be king in 2025.”
Corn
Corn acres are expected to climb 4.2% to 94.5 million in 2025. Notably, low hay prices are expected to shift acres out of corn harvested for silage to corn harvested for grain, raising the corn-for-grain harvested acreage by 5.0% to 87.06 million. However, the potential for trade disputes with Canada and Mexico could significantly weaken the demand for U.S. corn and curb the increase in planted acreage. A trade war with Canada may throttle exports of U.S. ethanol, while a disruption to the Mexican market could severely impact U.S. corn exports.
Soybeans
Soybeans are expected to experience the biggest drop with acreage falling 3.6% to 84.0 million. The loss will be somewhat blunted by last fall’s expansion of winter wheat acres, which will create more opportunity for farmers to double-crop soybeans following the winter wheat harvest. U.S. winter wheat acreage was tallied at 34.12 million acres, up 2.1%, according to USDA. The potential for tariffs on used cooking oil imports from China and canola oil from Canada would lift demand for soybean oil and encourage farmers to hold on to soybean acres.
Wheat
Spring wheat acres in the Northern Plains are expected to fall 5.9% to 10.0 million as wheat prices continue to struggle from a strong dollar and greater U.S. supply following last year’s bigger harvest. Most of the reduction in spring wheat acres will go to corn, but soybeans also stand to gain some wheat acres. However, the potential for weather-related wheat crop losses in Russia combined with losses to the U.S. winter wheat crop could quickly change the market dynamics and limit the loss of spring wheat acres.
Sorghum
Grain sorghum acres are expected to drop 9.5% to 5.7 million due to the lack of export demand. The loss of Chinese demand, which typically accounts for 90%-95% of U.S. grain sorghum exports, has pulled cash grain sorghum prices well below corn prices on the Plains. Low prices are prompting livestock feeders to include more grain sorghum into feed rations and ethanol plants are using more sorghum for ethanol production, bolstering U.S. demand. Higher domestic usage – and the potential for Chinese demand returning to take advantage of historically low sorghum prices – may lift prices and protect sorghum acreage from losses.
Cotton
Cotton acres are forecast to fall 7.8% to 10.3 million with prices struggling under the weight of a slowing global economy, a strong U.S. dollar and increasing competition from Brazil. The shift of cotton acres to corn will likely be greater in the Southeast than in the Texas plains. Texas cotton producers have shifted acres to wheat and other fall forages for beef cattle, which are currently trading at record high prices. An economic recovery in China or a shorter than expected crop in Brazil may underpin cotton prices and protect acres from shifting.

We are waking up to the reality
that we live on a water planet
and it changes everything
Europe and Asia are leading the world with the introduction of
a “Blue Economy” to accompany the “Green Economy,”
and now the United States needs to catch up
Jeremy Rifkin’s new book Planet Aqua: Rethinking Our Home in the Universe will be published simultaneously in all the principal world languages in September 2024.
What would happen if we suddenly realized that the planet we live on appeared eerily alien, as if we’d been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, unleashing blockbuster winter snows, biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves and wildfires and deadly autumn hurricanes, wreaking havoc on ecosystems, infrastructure, and society. While fossil fuels lit the fuse, it’s the hydrosphere that’s ringing the death knell.
In Planet Aqua, Jeremy Rifkin argues that we have misjudged the very nature of our existence and to what we owe our lifeline. We have long believed that we live on a land planet when in reality we live on a water planet, and now the Earth’s hydrosphere is taking us into a mass extinction as it searches for a new normal.
Rifkin asks us to imagine the incredible hubris of believing that our species could sequester, pacify, propertize, commodify, and hold dominion over all the waters of the planet for our exclusive utilitarian uses. Yet, that’s exactly what we set out to do six thousand years ago with the rise of urban hydraulic civilizations around the world. And now we find ourselves trapped in a massive commercial juggernaut of hydropower superdams, artificial lakes, reservoirs, and ubiquitous water infrastructure that’s collapsing in the throes of a rewilding hydrosphere.
The great reset, says Rifkin, is rethinking the waters as a “life source” rather than a “resource” and learning how to adapt to the hydrosphere rather than adapting the hydrosphere to us.
Rifkin takes us into a new future where we will need to reassess every aspect of the way we live – how we engage nature, pursue science, govern society, conceptualize economic life, educate our children, and even orient ourselves in time and space on our water planet. The next stage in the human saga is to ‘rebrand’ our home Planet Aqua and usher in a Blue Economy to accompany the Green Economy.
The big conversation taking place in Europe over the past 6 months is the call for a 'Blue Deal' to accompany the 'Green Deal' as the next leap forward in the European Union (see enclosed articles). The 'Blue Economy' agenda is also emerging in China and Korea as a centerpiece for rethinking life on Planet Aqua and is going to migrate to North America, the UK, and other nations around the world as well in the coming months.
The European Economic and Social Committee, the European Committee of the Regions, critical industries, trade associations, the farming community, government, academia, and civil society are all coalescing around a storyline and game plan to address a dramatic change in the climate brought on by a rewilding hydrosphere that's killing off our fellow creatures and endangering our own species on a scale unprecedented in history - and everywhere, humanity is frightened and looking for answers.
The call for a massive 'Blue Deal' to go hand-in-hand with the current 'Green Deal' will be the centerpiece of the new expanded agenda of the European Union. The conversation is focusing on a number of critical themes including demolishing outmoded superdams and artificial reservoirs, the construction of new resilient water infrastructure, the introduction of omnipresent distributed water internets and water microgrids, portable desalination devices and water purification systems, sponge cities, ephemeral pop-up 3D printed communities, water calendars and safe climate corridors, alongside extending legal rights to rivers to run free, deploying green hydrogen infrastructure, stewarding lakes, rivers, and streams as shared commons, addressing the dire threat of groundwater depletion, repurposing the water-energy-food nexus, pursuing paradigmic shifts in science and technology on a water planet, and developing new approaches to pedagogy, curricula, clinical learning, and incubator projects at the universities and secondary school level.
This fundamental turning point in the way the human family relates to water on Planet Aqua will underwrite a rethink in the deployment of policies and practices going forward, putting the 'Blue Economy’ alongside the ‘Green Economy’ at the top of the agenda for nations around the world. Planet Aqua provides the narrative and worldview for rethinking life on our water planet as well as a robust agenda across every aspect of society in making this transformation in our species' future.
Underpinned by robust research, this major new work by one of the world’s leading public intellectuals aims to redefine the very core of our existence on Planet Aqua.
We are coming to grips with the reality that we live on a water planet
Jeremy Rifkin is the best-selling author of twenty-three books translated into thirty-five languages. He is a principal architect of the European Union’s and China’s economic plans for transitioning into a Third Industrial Revolution to address climate change and he served as an advisor to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer on the U.S. infrastructure plan. He is listed among the top ten most influential economic thinkers in The Huffington Post’s global survey of “The World’s Most Influential Voices.”
