CeraLyte Lifesaving Oral Rehydration (ORS) Donated for Myanmar Victims
COLUMBIA, Md., May 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cera Products, Inc.,
which manufactures advanced hydration products, has committed 13 pallets
(12,480 liters, valued at over $66,500) of ready to drink CeraLyte ORS, the
Company's life-saving electrolyte drink to Direct Relief International for
disaster victims inMyanmar, formerly known asBurma.
World officials are concerned about outbreaks of "waterborne infections,
diarrhea diseases, malaria and, possibly cholera, which rapidly depletes
people of fluids and can cause death in hours. Oral hydration can avert the
dehydration that causes the death. CeraLyte will be received by Direct
Relief International when it is able to arrange for shipments intoMyanmar.
Cera Products, a woman-owned and operated company was established in
Maryland in 1993. It provides Oral Rehydration Therapy to the US government
and others to prevent hospitalizations and serious complications from
dehydration.
During the Tsunami disaster and Hurricane Katrina, Cera Products donated
thousands of liters to Direct Relief International and Child Health Foundation
to help in those disaster-stricken areas to help avert hospitalizations and
deaths. Donations to support supplying oral hydration are urgently needed.
DONATE: Tax-deductible gifts can be made at www.directrelief.org or the
Child Health Foundation Web site at www.childhealthfoundation.org (Earmark it
under Tribute or Occasion: for Myanmar Disaster Relief CeraLyte ORS.) Cera
Products also will provide charitable discounts to individuals who wish to
purchase CeraLyte for shipment to Direct Relief International.
Diarrheal diseases can be fatal due to rapid depletion of body fluids and
electrolytes. A healthy adult can die from cholera in as little as eight
hours; a weakened child can die in two hours. Just one liter of CeraLyte can
save a life! CeraLyte restores essential electrolytes and fluid losses as it
hydrates, proven highly effective for high output diarrhea such as cholera.
Cera Products, established in 1993, scientifically developed its high
performance medical and sports products along with world health experts who
have worked along with Ms. Riikonen, at the International Centre for Diarrheal
Disease,Bangladesh, which won the Bill Gates Award for global health and (see
www.icddrb.org or ICDDRB on YOU TUBE ) Direct Relief International
(directrelief.org) gets donations of medical supplies and raises funds to
provide support and rebuilding to relief areas around the world. Child Health
Foundation (http://childhealthfoundation.org) has programs that provide
innovative ways to save lives and improve health.
