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 in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.
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 into
Myanmar.
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 http://www.directrelief.org or the
Child Health Foundation Web site at http://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 http://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.
