Fintech solutions company UTRUST is going where no other of its kind has gone before. Leveraging a team of experts from various consumer and corporate business, financial, legal, and technical fields, it is building a groundbreaking service that promises to change the way the world uses cryptocurrency. By adopting a familiar experience combined with safety features that render payment fraud obsolete, UTRUST is building the payments platform of the future.

Many have hailed crypto coins as the currency of the next generation. One of their main selling points is their decentralized and secure blockchain-based origins. This solves many of the problems inherent in today’s fiat currencies and bank-based payment structures. However, cryptocurrency is still relatively unheard of in the Philippines and most of Asia, owing to the complications arising in their use.

UTRUST seeks to change this. The service is the ideal entry-point to increase the adoption of cryptocurrencies in emerging markets, by serving as a bridge between crypto and fiat users. Buyers will able to purchase any product using their favorite coin, without the extra hassle of converting to fiat first. The platform automatically does this, and delivers the payment in fiat money to the seller. This simple process makes UTRUST the PayPal of digital currencies.

However, the service really shines in its cutting-edge security features. Imagine being able to shop online with complete peace of mind, knowing you cannot be defrauded. Users can use UTRUST to pay for their purchases — the payment is kept safe in the service’s centralized escrow system, and is only delivered to the merchant upon receipt of the goods. In the unlikely case that a dispute arises, UTRUST’s dedicated resolution team takes action and resolves it within a fixed timeframe. No more waiting for weeks to get your funds back!

Home-based entrepreneurs will also benefit by adopting the system. Aside from lower selling fees and faster approval speeds, merchants no longer need to fear the threat of chargebacks. By tapping into the fiat financial system, utilizing an intuitive interface, and building trust between buyers and sellers, UTRUST makes transitioning into cryptocurrencies a breeze.

Nuno Correia, CEO, said: "UTRUST sees the potential of cryptocurrencies and digital technology to transform financial services provision in both developed and developing markets. The potential gains are particularly exciting in emerging markets where mobile phone penetration could recreate the role physical banking infrastructure plays in developed markets."

The service helps its users break away from the clunky banking infrastructure completely by using their mobile phones as financial hubs. Imagine being able to pay anything through your phone, without a bank account — purchases, mortgages, loans, and more. In a country whose mobile phones far outnumber its own population, UTRUST can change the way Filipinos think of finance.

UTRUST will launch its first round of public ICO on September 20th (2PM GMT). There will be a total of 7 rounds, aimed at bringing UTRUST to $50M in funding. The funds will be used to develop features and establish partnerships, as well as to create the UTRUST Token — an Ethereum based coin whose value is directly linked to the platform’s projected growth.

Last week's really stressful for me as Edmund had a fever with following rashes appeared from his face down to his toes.

I was really freaking out hoping that it wasn't dengue.

What happened was last Sunday we went to SM and had him rode different kiddie rides and stuff. He was really happy. We also ate at Chowking for lunch and he seemed to enjoy the moment.

So Sunday evening, I gave him his evening bath as I always do (with doctor's approval, of course) then I felt that his palms are a little bit hot and his head, I didn't mind it at first because I thought it was just hot on that specific night that's why his temperature increases as well.

But at around 3 AM, he was sleeping on my chest and I woke up because he was really hot. I asked my mom to get the thermometer- his temperature was 38.02 Celsius. So I woke Edmund and gave him paracetamol.

My mom asked me if we will bring him to the doctor to have him checked but I said no and let's wait for the entire day because I was thinking that his fever might be because of teething or 'lagnat laki' or 'nagdadahilan' so I managed the entire day taking care of him.

We bonded and read several children's books. He was wrapped in my fleece blanket that he really loves to hold when he was sleepy or not feeling better.

Unfortunately, his temperature didn't go down, in fact, it reached 38.04 Celsius so I decided to send him to his pedia to get checked first thing in the morning.

The initial diagnosis was a viral infection that he got from kiddie rides or children's stool. So as the doctor explained to us, there might be a child who occupied the ride first that was contaminated with a virus which Edmund sadly acquired. So she explained that the rashes were just normal and it will appear more as the days gone by. She gave us anti-allergy and advised us that if ever he has his fever, we need to get him a blood extraction to check his CBC, platelet counts and other things.

So we were relieved to find out that he was negative for dengue and we immediately went home and mom went to the drug store to buy his medicine.

However, he still had the fever the day after so we had his blood extraction and while waiting for the results, Edmund seemed to be fine, his temperature lowered and he's gaining his strength which I bet a really good sign.

As the results showed that everything was normal. The doctor gave his final diagnosis which is a viral infection and she advised us to have Edmund his bath because according to her, his temperature won't go down unless we gave him a bath as soon as the medicine for his fever kicked in.

So that's what I did. As soon as he woke up with his afternoon nap, I gave him his medicine for fever and after a few minutes, I gave him a quick warm bath.

And voila, his fever was gone.

What did I learn from this experience?

It's okay to be a bit OC when it comes to your little one whether it may be because of virus or any disease that he might get when using rides and things for public use.
Always bring a sanitizer with you and a toy and surface cleaner. People might think you're over reacting but these people won't pay you the bills if your little one got sick.
Relax. Everything will be fine.
Trust your pedia. He/She knows what they are doing if ever you're doubting, have him checked by a different doctor for a second opinion.
Save money. You never know when this emergency situation will happen. I was thinking while we're at the laboratory waiting for his results if ever we don't gave money, how will my son get his treatment and the right diagnosis?

I really hate when my son was sick not because of my sleeepless nights or the money that I'll be spending. I hate it because it hurts me to see my son not feeling well and can't be able to do the normal things he does. Good thing he really a strong healthy boy.

In the medical world, proper use of words is highly called for because a simple mistake could complicate things usually unwanted for the patients. Because this field has full of jargons that most are too technical to not easily be sifted and digested by the general public, putting them in a layman’s term is indeed helpful.

A good example of which are the words “side effect” and “main effect”. These, are more often than not, interchanged or used instead of the other. Doing so is not just wrong but also dangerous to the people’s health.

A side effect of any substance pertains to the result beyond the main or primary action that is intended by the physician giving drug prescription. The doctor, likewise, foresees this extra consequence.

For instance, the patient might not be conscious of the side effect of unwanted hair growth elsewhere on the body while using vasodilator drug called Minoxidil to treat hypertension. The physician, nevertheless, is very well aware of it, as well as other implications, such as burning or irritation of the eye, itching, and redness or irritation at the treated area. By and large, doctors suggest that patients should ignore the side effects unless serious and often alert the sick persons about their likelihood.

But not all the side effects are boon. They are a bane, too, hence, they are often used as a therapeutic benefit in the pharmaceutical industry. Like the Minoxidil which, initially was developed to treat high blood pressure. People taking it reported an unusual side effect: Hair began to grow on various parts of their bodies. In this case, the downside of the drug is controlled and employed for a beneficial and therapeutic effect judiciously. It is noted that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescription of two percent (2%) Minoxidil topical solution for hair loss in men in 1988 and for women in 1992.

An adverse effect, on the other hand, is identified as an outcome wherein the reaction occurs over and beyond the main and wanted action of a medicine. Both the physician and the patient don’t know about it as a consequence of taking such treatment. It can happen simply due to incorrect dosage. Undesirably, this is very harmful as it can exacerbate the prognosis of the disease. Occasionally, if the adverse effect is too serious, there might be a need for hospitalization.

Just like the Sildenafil Citrate— a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its most common adverse reactions (≥ 2%) include a headache, flushing, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness, and rash. Patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts over four hours. Patients should stop Sildenafil Citrate and seek medical care if a sudden decrease or loss of hearing and also that of vision in one or both eyes.

Since side effects paired with adverse effects can be fatal and need to be reversed or given antidote immediately, a very extra cautious effort not to interchange them with the main effects in the prescription process must be always observed. After all, it’s the lives of patients at stake here.

It’s ironic to note that people who seek treatments for their ailments or to prolong their lives become sicker or morbidly end up six feet underground simply because of such medical error. So, it’s still best to deal with health conditions like hair loss the natural way, especially with NOVUHAIR that offers the safe and natural effects.
