Take Heart -- The Polycapsule Will Save You!

The cure for heart disease appears to be the polycapsule. The pill combines five drugs that are already FDA-approved to lower blood pressure: the beta-blocker atenolol, the ACE inhibitor ramipril, the diuretic hydrocholorothiazide,the statin simvastatin and a 100-milligram dose of aspirin.

An Indian company, Cadila Pharmaceuticals, had researcher Salim Yusuf, MD, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, test the 5-in-1 pill on 2,000 people with one heart disease risk factor (obesity, high blood pressure or high cholesterol). A single once-a-day capsule can slash the average person’s risk of heart disease and stroke by half, according to Yusuf.

Count this drug as an all time-blockbuster success, just as soon as FDA approval is granted. That should happen fast, given the proven safety of the ingredients and the fact that research shows no greater side-effects for the polycapsule than there are for those taking the five meds separately.

Domaineer possibilities? You bet! Try 5-in-1pill.com, polycapsule.com, polycapscheap.com and related phrases.

Alzheimer's Is Always in the News

ABC today reports that one American develops Alzheimer's disease every 70 seconds; by midcentury, it will happen every 33 seconds. Aging baby boomers will soon swell the numbers of victims well beyond the current 5 million. According to the National Alzheimer's Study Group, about one in seven will get Alzheimer's by age 65. By 85, you have about a 50% chance of having the disease.

With many drug companies working on treatments and cures, there's a good market for disease-related domain names, like AlzheimersDiabetes.com, SlowingAlzheimers.com and TheAlzheimersPill.com.

Smokeless, Spitless and Profitable

The tobacco industry is among the very biggest advertising spenders among all consumer product marketers. So when RJ Reynolds rolls out a new smokeless tobacco product called Camel Orbs, it's major news, and another reminder of the money to be made in tobacco-related domaineering.

Reynolds is very busy in the smokeless, spitless tobacco field, introducing a bunch of Camel brand extensions, including Camel Snus, Camel Sticks and Camel Strips, in addition to the dissolvable Orbs.

A major aim for Reynolds, Altria (new owner of Skoal and other former US Tobacco products) and other alternative tobacco products is to provide new choices for smokers who want to quit, but still need to satisfy their fairly harmless nicotine addiction.

That makes domains like SpitlessTobacco.com, SpitlessTobaccoProducts.com, SwitchToSmokeless.com and
SwitchToSnus.com particularly valuable. You can probably come up with a dozen more.

Financial Terms for the New (?) Economy

The New York Times says locavesting (locavesting.com) is one of the top ideas to come out of 2008. It refers to investing in our own communities, putting our money into local small businesses. And it makes sense.

As the market surges higher (thank goodness!) people willl be looking for 10-fold returns on their investments (Ten-FoldReturn.com) and tomorrow's hot stocks (TomorrowsHotStocks.com).

As for any remaining Ponzi scheme operators out there -- you'd better be wearing bulletproof clothing (BulletProofApparel.com, Bullet-ProofClothing.com)!

Powerball (This Has Nothing to Do With Domains)

If you live in one of the 30 States, plus Washington D.C. or the US Virgin Islands, that offer PowerBall tickets, here's a prediction: The PowerPlay number will be FOUR (4) very soon!

Just look at the official Frequency Chart. The number 4 is the only one to have come up only twice in the PowerPlay column in all PowerBall history (that's since August 2005). Pure rule of mathematical odds dictate that 4 has some catching up to do, since most numbers have been picked 10-13 times for the PowerPlay.

Your welcome.

Movie Money-Makers

Movies and TV shows are loaded with money-making domain name possibilities.

Tina Fey's flick "Baby Mama" featured a fictitious company called Round Earth Foods... and the domain RoundEarthFoods.com was available and legal to privately own.

Snoop Dogg has a new show Tuesday nights called "Dogg After Dark", but he didn't trademark the name before the domain DoggAfterDark.com was registered. That domain is parked with Revenue Direct and is earning good money as an advertising vehicle. Of course, it's for sale. (Revenue Direct web pages always have a "Buy This Domain" box with a link to allow visitors to submit an offer to the seller.)
