Entertainment Ultrasounds

Commercial ultrasound machines found in malls and whatnot, or purchased for home ultrasound machines, may not be safe.

Professional Sonographers
Ultrasound is safe as long as it's applied by professional sonographers or ultrasound technologists. Commercial ultrasound machines and home ultrasound machines are not sold with a professional sonographer course or license, therefor they are risky.

Yale University School of Medicine reported in August 2006 that exposure to prolonged ultrasound waves can inhibit proper cell migration, known as neuronal migration, in mouse fetus' brains. While this doesn't prove any danger to humans, it does raise some questions.

It is still not a good idea to expose yourself or your unborn child to ultrasound administered by anyone except a professional sonographer operating a full blown ultrasound machine such as the elaborate professional ultrasound machines made by Biosound, a world leader in medical imaging, and sold exclusively in America by DrSmart.com - Smartsound Ultrasound.

Go With The Flow Of Tao Aspirator

Tao Meaning Or Definition
道 is the Chinese character for Tao. The Character translates as 'way', 'path', or 'route', but philosophically 道 denotes the fundamentally true nature of the world. While the Chinese character for Tao is itself 'the way', it's often more loosely interpreted as the character for 'doctrine' or 'principle'.

East Asian religions and ancient Chinese philosophy like Taoism, and Confucianism believe in Tao.

Tao is everything we know and don't know that exists. It's a concept about everything encompassed by Tao. The universe and everything we perceive is a subset of Tao.

Tao Surname
Tao is also an Asian surname. Tao & Tao Technology, a Washingon family business formed by the Tao's, manufactures medical instruments such as the Tao Aspirator.

Go With The Flow
Tao flows around and over everything as the force behind natural order; the flow of the universe, if you will. It is 'the way'.
