Louis Zamperini W W II POW, 1936 U.S. Olympian Headlines Lazarex Cancer Foundation Event September 29 On U.S.S. HORNET

Leave a comment

Louis Zamperini Shook Hands with Hitler, Was Tortured at Japanese POW Camp; Will Share His Message of Forgiveness and Hope.

Alameda, CA (USA), September 08, 2012 — Louis Zamperini, a 95-year-old best selling author and motivational speaker, will share his extraordinary life story and his message of forgiveness and hope when the Lazarex Cancer Foundation of Danville holds its annual fundraiser gala on the U.S.S. Hornet on Sept. 29 at 707 Hornet Dr., Pier 3 in Alameda.

Zamperini is one of the last surviving members of the 1936 U.S. Olympic team for the Berlin games. He finished eighth in the 5,000 meter run, but his last quarter-mile split of 56 seconds caught the attention of Adolph Hitler, who insisted upon meeting Zamperini. The pair shook hands, and before the end of the games Zamperini seized the opportunity to steal a Nazi flag off of the Chancellery wall under the noses of Nazi guards.

A few years later Zamperini was serving as a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps when his plane crashed into the Pacific. He became a Japanese POW and was tortured for three years. The United States listed him as missing in action, and a year later as dead, before his liberation at the end of the war. In 1950 he met his captors and hugged each of them while explaining his life philosophy.

“Louis Zamperini’s message of hope and personal perseverance under the most trying circumstances is a perfect match for our mission of providing hope and time to late stage cancer patients and their families,” said Lazarex founder and President Dana Dornsife. Since its founding in 2007, Lazarex has helped more than 100 patients find FDA-approved clinical trials and then paid for travel and lodging for those trials which can be anywhere in North America. These treatments have helped add months or even years to people for whom conventional medicine has no treatment. Some patients are now in remission.

“We’ve helped people enjoy one more Christmas, one more Little League season, or even make it to their daughter’s wedding,” Dornsife said. “We believe that the size of one’s checkbook should have no bearing on the length or quality of their life.”

The gala will be much more than a sumptuous meal and a unique and memorable speaker. Guests will be entertained during the cocktail hour by a group called The Swingin’ Blue Stars, four Blue Star Moms singing Andrews Sisters-style tunes. After dinner JamFunkShus will regale guests with danceable numbers from the 60s to the 90s.

Casino games will be available throughout the evening along with both a live and silent auction. Prizes include travel packages, deluxe wine country junkets, catered dinners, and fine jewelry. Well known in CA, Italian crooner tribute duo Wallin and Baretta, ardent Lazarex supporters, will be attending the gala. Stay tuned for other celebrity guest announcements.

Tickets to the Lazarex Battle for a Lifetime are $350 per person and can be purchased at https://lazarex.ejoinme.org/USSHornetGala . Dress is cocktail attire.

“Every dollar we raise helps provide hope for people who have been told they have none,” Dornsife said. “We believe our guests will have a great time, hear some inspirational messages, and leave the event knowing they have helped extend the quality of life for some folks in very difficult situations.”

Physicians Attend the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training To Capture the Boomer Market

Leave a comment

The IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – September 8, 2012 — The IAPAM offers physicians the leading Botox ® training, filler training, and associated facial aesthetic medical education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels) at its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium. The IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Minimally invasive procedures, like Botox ®, dermal fillers and laser treatments, have surged by 356% reported the ASAPS and patients, ages 35 to 50 had the most procedures last year, nearly four million or 43% of the total, and patients ages 51 to 64 had an additional 28%, the ASAPS announced. So, as the over 70 million baby boomers seek help to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay, the US market for aesthetic medical treatments balloons.

To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities and hCG for medical weight loss, are best positioned to grow their healthcare businesses. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training) is a weekend of hands-on Botox ® training as well as dermal filler training, laser training, hCG training etc., and is the only multi-day, symposium to offer education for physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice.

Watch a preview of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw

Physicians who have completed the IAPAM’s multi-day integrated training program, including hCG Weight Loss, the AestheticMedicine Symposium and the Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up have a significant competitive advantage.

For more information on the IAPAM’s upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or hCG/Physician Weight Loss Training, please see http://www.iapam.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704.

Brazil is a Great Place to Invest, agrees FRA

Leave a comment

A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments’ Lisa Best, has been welcomed by FRA for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Seattle, United States, September 8, 2012 — A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments’ Lisa Best, has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Lisa Best is a project manager for Green Forestry Investments and claims that, although Brazil’s economy is not growing as fast as it once was, it should definitely still be considered as a place to invest cash in alternatives, such as forestry and real estate.

Not only has the country become extremely stable, both economically and politically, in recent years it has also managed to win bids to host major sporting events over the coming few years. In 2014 the FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil, while Rio will host the Olympics in 2016. For both of these events, considerable infrastructure investments will take place and the steel industry in particular is booming.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, “This is one of the reasons why investing in forestry plantations in Brazil is a good bet. The plantations provide sustainable charcoal to the steel industry, who would otherwise be sourcing it form native forests which, as we all know, are threatened and extremely vulnerable.”

Ms Best added that Brazil already sources 85 per cent of the energy it needs from renewable sources. The government is still investing heavily in this area and, therefore, this is another reason why sustainable timber plantations that could produce biomass are worth investing in.

FRA supports all kinds of ethical investing and particularly green investments like timberland. Mr Collins explained that a growing number of investors want to see something with an intrinsic value in exchange for their hard-earned cash following the economic collapse. “Forestry investments through firms like Greenwood Management and Green Forestry Investments are a good option for risk-averse alternative investors,” stated Mr Collins.
