Healthcare providers today face immense challenges balancing patient care and administrative duties. Documentation, compliance, and electronic medical records often consume the majority of a physician’s time, reducing their ability to focus on patient interactions. This is where medical scribe services play a critical role in improving workflow, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

PERS DEVICES delivers a full range of scribing solutions, including virtual medical scribe services, telescribe, human scribe, and specialized medical scribe for physicians programs. By leveraging these services, clinics can streamline documentation, reduce physician burnout, and focus on delivering quality care.

Understanding Medical Scribe Services

A medical scribe is a trained professional responsible for recording clinical encounters in real time. Their work includes documenting patient history, physical exams, diagnoses, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions. By taking on these administrative responsibilities, scribes allow physicians to dedicate their attention to patients and clinical decisions.

Key Advantages of Medical Scribe Services

• More time for patient care
• Accurate, detailed charting
• Faster completion of patient records
• Improved coding and billing accuracy
• Reduced physician stress and burnout
• Consistent, compliant documentation

Medical scribe services are essential for clinics seeking to improve efficiency without compromising quality of care.

Virtual Medical Scribe Services

Virtual medical scribe services provide real-time documentation support remotely, making them ideal for telehealth, multi-location practices, or clinics seeking flexible and cost-effective solutions.

How Virtual Medical Scribes Work

• Physician begins patient consultation as usual

Maria winced as she climbed the stairs to her Gishushu apartment.

Another morning, another reminder that her knees weren't what they used to be.

At 42, she'd accepted the dull ache as part of life; something that came with age, stress, and Kigali's hilly roads.

Her neighbor, Grace, noticed. "Still hurting?"

Maria nodded, too tired to complain again.

Grace disappeared into her kitchen and returned with a small glass jar filled with golden-orange powder.

"Try this for two weeks. One teaspoon in warm milk every morning. Add a pinch of black pepper and honey."

"What is it?"

"Turmeric. But not the old stuff from the supermarket. This is from a farm in Musanze. I get it from Hi-Pima."

Grace pressed the jar into Maria's hands. "Just try it."

Maria was skeptical.

She'd tried everything; painkillers, stretching, rest  and more.

Why would a spice make any difference?

Three weeks later, Maria bought her own jar.

Because the pain had reduced, her energy had returned and she was able to climb those stairs without thinking about her knees for the first time in months.

Why Rwandan Turmeric Is Different: The Volcanic Advantage.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) grows in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, but not all turmeric is created equal.

The difference lies in the soil.

Rwanda sits along the Albertine Rift, surrounded by volcanic mountains that have spent thousands of years enriching the earth with minerals.

When volcanic rock breaks down, it releases:

• Potassium for strong plant growth
• Phosphorus for root development
• Magnesium for chlorophyll production
• Calcium for cell wall strength
• Iron, zinc, and trace minerals that concentrate in the turmeric rhizome

Independent lab tests show that turmeric grown in Rwanda's volcanic highlands contains 15-25% higher curcumin content than turmeric grown in conventional soils.

Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its health benefits and Rwandan soil produces more of it naturally.

Fresh vs. Stale: The Shocking Truth About Supermarket Turmeric.

Here's what most people don't know about the turmeric sitting on supermarket shelves:

Most imported turmeric is 12-18 months old by the time you buy it.

It was harvested, shipped for weeks, stored in warehouses, distributed to retailers, and sat under fluorescent lights losing potency.

Oxidation: Curcumin degrades when exposed to light, heat, and air.

Every day that turmeric sits in clear plastic containers under store lights, it loses effectiveness.

Freshness indicators:

• Fresh turmeric: Vibrant yellow-orange, strong earthy aroma, slightly sticky when rubbed between fingers
• Stale turmeric: Dull brown-orange, weak smell, dusty and dry

Hi-Pima's turmeric powder moves from farm to boutique in 3-7 days.

It's ground in small batches, stored in dark conditions, and packaged in light-protective containers.

This is the difference between medicine and dust.

The Science Behind the Health Benefits of Turmeric.

Curcumin: The Compound That Does Everything.

Turmeric contains over 100 chemical compounds, but curcumin is the star.

This bright yellow compound has been studied in over 3,000 scientific publications for its effects on:

• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress
• Brain function
• Heart health
• Digestive disorders
• Skin conditions
• Joint pain
• Mood regulation

But the thing is, curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body.

That's why how you consume turmeric matters as much as the quality you buy.

How Turmeric Helps Fight Some Diseases (Study Backed).

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every modern health condition:

• Arthritis and joint pain
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Autoimmune conditions
• Digestive disorders
• Depression and anxiety
• Alzheimer's disease

Unlike pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs that work on a single pathway, curcumin works on multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously.

1. Brain Health (Alzheimer's).

Curcumin crosses the blood-brain barrier: a rare ability for natural compounds.

Once there, it:

1. Increases BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor): This protein helps grow new brain cells and strengthens existing neural connections. Low BDNF is linked to depression and Alzheimer's disease.
2. Reduces brain inflammation: Inflammation in the brain contributes to cognitive decline. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects protect brain tissue.
3. Clears amyloid plaques: The protein tangles associated with Alzheimer's may be reduced by curcumin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to amyloid beta.

This is why turmeric is a staple in Indian cuisine and why India has some of the lowest Alzheimer's rates in the world.

2. Digestive Health.

Traditional Rwandan and East African medicine has used turmeric for digestive issues for generations.

Science now confirms why:

1. It stimulates bile production: Bile breaks down fats. More bile means better fat digestion and less bloating.
2. Reduces gut inflammation: Inflammatory bowel conditions like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis show improvement with curcumin supplementation.
3. Supports healthy gut bacteria: Curcumin has prebiotic effects, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your intestines.
4. Protects the gut lining: Curcumin strengthens the intestinal barrier, reducing "leaky gut" syndrome.

That morning turmeric drink is actively supporting your entire digestive system.

3. Joint Health.

If you play football on weekends, or simply deal with age-related joint wear, turmeric offers real relief.

1. Reduces joint inflammation: Studies on osteoarthritis patients show curcumin reduces pain and improves mobility as effectively as some NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
2. Supports cartilage health: Curcumin may slow cartilage breakdown while supporting repair processes.
3. Speeds recovery: Athletes using turmeric report faster recovery from intense training and reduced muscle soreness.

Maria wasn't imagining the improvement in her knees, the science backs up what she felt.

The Turmeric (Curcumin) Absorption Problem (And How to Solve It).

Curcumin is poorly absorbed by the human body.

You can consume turmeric all day and absorb very little of the beneficial compounds.

Why?

• It's not water-soluble (doesn't dissolve in your digestive juices)
• It's rapidly metabolized and eliminated
• It doesn't easily cross the intestinal wall

This is why some people try turmeric and claim "it doesn't work."

They're consuming it wrong!

1. The Black Pepper Solution: 2000% Better Absorption.
   

Black pepper contains piperine, a compound that inhibits the enzymes that break down curcumin in your gut and liver.

Adding just a pinch of black pepper to turmeric increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.

This is the difference between turmeric working or not working at all.

📌 Always combine turmeric with black pepper. Always.

1. The Fat Factor: Why You Need Oil

Curcumin is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves in fat, not water.

Consuming turmeric with healthy fats dramatically improves absorption.

Best fats to pair with turmeric:

• Coconut oil or coconut milk
• Olive oil
• Avocado or avocado oil
• Nuts and seeds
• Full-fat dairy or plant milk

This is why traditional golden milk recipes use full-fat milk or coconut milk; not water.

1. Heat Activation: Why Cooking Helps

Gentle heating of turmeric makes curcumin more bioavailable by:

• Breaking down the plant's cell walls
• Releasing more curcumin into the surrounding liquid
• Making the compound more soluble

This is why adding turmeric to soups, stews, and warm drinks is so effective.

You're not just adding flavor, you're activating the medicine.

Storage: Keeping Your Turmeric Fresh and Potent.

The Three Enemies of Turmeric:

1. Light: UV rays break down curcumin rapidly. That's why Hi-Pima packages turmeric in opaque containers, not clear plastic.

2. Heat: High temperatures accelerate degradation. Store turmeric in a cool place, never above the stove.

3. Air/Moisture: Oxygen oxidizes curcumin. Moisture causes clumping and mold. Always keep containers sealed tight.

Proper Turmeric Storage Technique.

Best practices:

• Transfer to airtight glass container immediately after purchase
• Store in a cool, dark cupboard or drawer
• Keep away from the stove, oven, or sunny windowsills
• Don't use wet spoons
• Seal container immediately after each use

Shelf life:

• Peak potency: 0-6 months
• Good quality: 6-12 months
• Declining quality: 12-24 months

Turmeric freshness test: Open your jar and smell. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.

If it smells weak or like nothing, it's lost potency. Time to refill at Hi-Pima.

Dosage: How Much Turmeric Should You Use?

For General Health and Prevention.

Daily recommended: 1-3 teaspoons of turmeric powder (providing approximately 500-2000mg of curcumin).

Practical application:

• 1 tsp in cooking throughout the day
• 1 tsp in evening tea or soup

This provides consistent anti-inflammatory support without overdoing it.

For Specific Conditions

Joint pain/arthritis: 2-3 tsp daily, split between meals
Digestive support: 1-2 tsp daily with meals
Skin conditions: 1-2 tsp internally + topical application
General wellness: 1 tsp daily

📌 Start small (1/4 tsp daily) and increase gradually. Your digestive system needs time to adapt.

Can You Have Too Much?

Turmeric from food sources is very safe, but excessive amounts (5+ teaspoons daily for extended periods) may cause:

• Digestive upset
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Increased risk of kidney stones (in susceptible individuals)

The sweet spot is: 1-3 teaspoons daily is safe, effective, and sustainable long-term.

Special Considerations.

Pregnant/breastfeeding: Culinary amounts are safe. Avoid therapeutic doses without consulting your healthcare provider.

Before surgery: Stop turmeric 2 weeks before surgery (it can thin blood slightly).

On blood thinners: Consult your doctor (turmeric has mild blood-thinning effects).

Gallbladder issues: Turmeric stimulates bile production. Avoid it if you have gallstones.

For most people, adding organic turmeric to daily cooking is completely safe and beneficial.

Why Organic Turmeric Matters: The Hidden Cost of Imported Turmeric.

The Pesticide Problem

Conventional turmeric farming uses pesticides to control pests and fungal diseases.

These chemicals:

• Remain as residues on the final product
• Accumulate in your body over time
• Disrupt hormone function
• May contribute to long-term health issues

You're consuming turmeric for health benefits while simultaneously ingesting toxins that undermine those same benefits.

The Soil Degradation Cycle.

Chemical fertilizers provide quick growth but:

• Deplete soil of minerals over time
• Kill beneficial soil organisms
• Reduce the plant's ability to absorb trace minerals
• Result in turmeric with lower curcumin content

Hi-Pima's organic turmeric comes from soil that's getting richer each year.

That means higher mineral content and more potent curcumin.

FAQs: Your Turmeric Questions Answered.

Q: How is this different from turmeric at the supermarket?

(1) Freshness: Hi-Pima's turmeric is 3-7 days from farm vs. 12-18 months for imports.

(2) No pesticide residues.

(3) Volcanic soil: higher curcumin content from mineral-rich growing conditions.

Q: Will turmeric stain my teeth yellow?

A: Temporary surface staining can occur, similar to coffee or tea. But it washes away with normal brushing.

To prevent  this however,, drink through a straw or rinse your mouth with water afterward.

Q: Can I give turmeric to my children?

A: Yes, in culinary amounts.

Adding turmeric to food is safe for children, supports their immune systems and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

Start with small amounts (1/4 tsp) in foods they already enjoy.

Q: I tried turmeric before and felt nothing. Why?

A: Most likely an absorption issue.

Were you consuming it with black pepper and fat? Were you using fresh, high-quality turmeric?

Try Hi-Pima's organic turmeric for two weeks. The difference will be obvious.

Q: Does cooking destroy turmeric's benefits?

A: Gentle heating actually improves bioavailability.

Avoid high heat for extended periods (frying for 30+ minutes), but normal cooking is fine.

Adding turmeric to soups, stews, and rice preserves and enhances its benefits.

Q: How do I know if my turmeric is still fresh?

A: Smell test. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.

Weak smell = degraded curcumin.

Also check color: vibrant yellow-orange is fresh, dull brown means it's old.

Q: Can I take turmeric if I'm on medication?

A: Turmeric can interact with blood thinners, diabetes medications, and medications that reduce stomach acid.

Culinary amounts are generally safe, but consult your healthcare provider if you're on medication and plan to use therapeutic doses.

Q: What's better; fresh turmeric root or powder?

A: Both have benefits. Fresh root is less processed but harder to find and store

Quality organic powder (like Hi-Pima's) is more convenient. It has a longer shelf life, and when it’s fresh, it maintains full potency.

For daily use, powder wins.

The first time I tried explaining "fire-roasted hot sauce" to an international client, they thought I meant literally setting the bottle on fire.

Lol.

What they didn't understand is that fire-roasting transforms ordinary peppers into something entirely different.

The char and depth become different flavors.

That's exactly what Chika Chika does.

Five varieties. Five distinct personalities. Each one fire-roasted to bring out flavors you can't get any other way:

1️⃣ Mint Chili: The cool heat paradox that shouldn't work but does.

2️⃣ Scotch Bonnet: The classic Caribbean heat.

3️⃣ Tamarind Chili: Sweet and spicy.

4️⃣ Xtra Hot: For the ones who love the heat.

5️⃣ Garlicky Twist: Spicy and unforgettable.

Available now at Hi-Pima's Boutique; where every purchase supports local producers.

Introduction: SDGs Are Closer Than You Think

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are often seen as global policies far removed from daily life. But the truth is, everyday actions have the power to drive measurable impact. From the way we commute to how we shop, eat, and work, every decision can either support or hinder progress toward a sustainable, equitable world.

Platforms like WazoPlus are helping bridge this gap by turning knowledge into actionable steps that anyone can implement.

Step 1: Sustainable Consumption & Energy

Practical Actions:

• Reduce energy use at home: turn off lights and unplug devices when not in use. (SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy).
• Choose locally-produced goods and ethical brands to reduce carbon footprint. (SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production).
• Support circular economy initiatives: recycle, upcycle, and donate unused items.

Why it matters: Small changes in consumption patterns collectively reduce emissions, create demand for sustainable products, and encourage corporate responsibility.

Step 2: Safe & Conscious Transport

Practical Actions:

• Walk, cycle, or use public transport whenever possible. (SDG 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities)
• Support safe driving practices: advocate for licensed drivers and vehicle safety checks. (SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing)
• Carpool or share rides to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.

Why it matters: Safer, greener transportation prevents accidents, reduces environmental impact, and promotes healthier communities.

Step 3: Ethical Work & Fair Practices

Practical Actions:

• Treat domestic workers, colleagues, and service providers with fairness and respect. (SDG 5: Gender Equality + SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth)
• Support small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
• Volunteer or mentor in your community to transfer skills and knowledge.

Why it matters: Fair treatment, inclusion, and support for local enterprise drive community resilience and economic growth.

Step 4: Community Engagement & Advocacy

Practical Actions:

• Participate in community cleanups or sustainability initiatives. (SDG 13: Climate Action + SDG 11)
• Advocate for local policies that protect health, education, and equality.
• Share knowledge online: amplify actionable content like WazoPlus guides.(Read them if not familiar with them in the LTWE Newsletter.)

Why it matters: Informed, engaged citizens become drivers of systemic change, turning abstract goals into tangible results.

Case Study: Rwanda in Action

In Rwanda, local communities are already leading by example:

• Neighborhood recycling programs reduce waste while creating jobs.
• Youth-led tech startups teach sustainable practices through apps and workshops.
• Community transport cooperatives ensure safer, greener, and affordable mobility.

These are real-world applications of the SDGs, showing that local action drives global impact.

Looking Ahead: Make the SDGs Your Daily Practice

Every choice you make from what you buy, how you move, how you work, and how you engage,has the potential to contribute to a sustainable, equitable future. By turning insight into action, citizens everywhere can make SDGs not just a policy framework, but a lived reality.

Call to Action:

Start today: pick one small action from this guide and implement it this week. 

Share your results with your community and inspire others.

Remember: Global change starts locally. Every empowered citizen is a spark.

Transform Your Skin Care Routine: The Ultimate Solution for Dry Skin)

Dry skin can be more than just uncomfortable, it can affect your confidence and overall well-being. At Goodlife Health and Beauty, we understand that finding the right moisturizer isn't just about temporary relief; it's about long-term skin health and protection.

Why Dry Skin Happens
Before diving into solutions, it's important to understand what causes dry skin. Environmental factors like cold weather, low humidity, hot showers, and harsh soaps can strip your skin of its natural oils. Age, genetics, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to persistent dryness.

The CeraVe Difference
