Physicians Rejoice that the IAPAM’s Training is the Best in Terms of Content, Presentation and Hands-On

Physicians affirm that the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training and the IAPAM New and Improved Clean Start ® hCG Training are, “very informative and FUN!” The latest physicians testimonials were published today on the IAPAM website.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – March 6, 2013 — Physician feedback on the IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox training (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training) and the IAPAM’s comprehensive NEW Physician Clean Start ® hCG Training (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-resources/clean-start-weight-loss-program) are consistent. The latest reviews are in, and physicians agree that the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) is the only physician-lead training organization that teaches doctors how to safely and profitably add $100,000+ a year in non-insurance based revenue to their practices.

The IAPAM’s (http://www.iapam.com) hCG Training and Botox Injection Training programs are the best aesthetic medical educational programs offered in North America. No other program in the U.S. offers a combination of expert, physician-led, hands on training coupled with a forum where doctors, of all medical specialties, come together to learn and share their experiences.

The IAPAM also offers long term clinical and business support to physicians who are adding aesthetic medical treatments and/or hCG to a practice, and attendees of the IAPAM’s Clean Start ® hCG Training and Symposiums with Botox training receive certification by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.

Over 1500 physicians and their staff have taken the IAPAM’s Clean Start ® hCG Training and/or attended the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, and here are the latest reviews:

Immuno Biotech to present third paper on GcMAF at Immunotherapy and Immunomonitoring Conference

GcMAF helps body destroy cancer cells.

St Peter Port, Guernsey (March 4, 2013) — Immuno Biotech Ltd has been invited to present its latest research paper on GcMAF at the 3rd Immunotherapy and Immunomonitoring Conference on April 22-25, 2013 in Krakow, Poland. Entitled “The effects of Vitamin D-binding protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) on human breast cancer and neuroblastoma cells,” it is about examining how GcMAF destroys breast and brain cancer cells by use of microscope photography and the fixing and staining of microscope slides. GcMAF is a key part of the human body’s immune system and the body’s own production is often reduced or prevented by diseases and cancer.

“This is the third scientific paper that we have presented in two months,” said David Noakes, the CEO of Immuno Biotech. “We are actively adding to the growing body of scientific papers being generated by leading scientists around the world who are investigating how GcMAF can help the body naturally fight off diseases and cancer. Currently there are over 59 research papers on GcMAF by 142 eminent scientists. This growing interest in GcMAF by the scientific community resulted in this invitation to present our latest scientific paper at this prestigious conference. Having positive peer reviews at these international conferences on the effects of GcMAF is stimulating more scientists to start looking at how GcMAF can help in their research into diseases and cancer.”

In the past two months, Immuno Biotech has presented at the International Cancer Conference in Dubai and, as a result, was asked to supply GcMAF for testing by the University of Sharjah on its library of 2,000 cancer cell lines. The same paper was also presented at the Immunology Conference in San Diego and was so well received that a number of scientists said that they would be now be re-directing their work. And at the International Dubai Autism Conference, their paper on GcMAF and autism, and the trial on 1,500 children with 15% of children making full recoveries, and 85% improving, resulted in Immuno Biotech being asked to supply GcMAF for similar large scale trials in Dubai.

“We are investing heavily in state-of-the-art research equipment and intend to produce several more papers by the end of the year,” added David Noakes. “For example, our new high powered microscopes have been able to video GcMAF being used to destroy cancer cells by activating the macrophages, which are the body’s own natural way of fighting invaders and cancer. We are the first to have videoed this and it really impresses the audiences at the conferences to see GcMAF actually in action.” Video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1WZrnCcH24&feature=player_embedded.

Immuno Biotech is organising the World’s first GcMAF Immunology Conference that will be held at the Holiday Inn Frankfurt, Germany on 19th, 20th and 21st of April. Registration is open now for doctors and research scientists at http://gcmafconference.org and, from March 20th, registration opens for members of the public and patients wishing to learn more about GcMAF.

The quality of Immuno Biotech’s GcMAF has made it the World’s leading supplier and the provider of choice for scientists with the company being cited in over eight research papers to date. Many of the independent research papers on GcMAF are listed on its website http://www.gcmaf.eu.

Background
GcMAF is continually produced by healthy humans and is a vital part of the body’s immune system. It directs the immune system to destroy foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, as well as the body’s own cells when they turn cancerous. However, many diseases attempt to prevent production of the body’s own GcMAF and, if successful, that prevents the immune system from fighting them resulting in the diseases growing unchecked and becoming chronic.

Immuno Biotech extracts GcMAF molecules from healthy human blood. A weekly injection of a tiny clear drop restores the level of GcMAF to normal – effectively a millionth of a conventional transfusion. This enables the body’s own natural defence mechanisms to fight the infection with the only occasional side effects being mild, cold-like symptoms as the immune system starts to function normally. It is extremely safe as it is a naturally occurring blood product. Noticeable improvements usually happen within three weeks and the time it takes for the body to fight the infection and return to being able to produce normal levels of its own GcMAF depends on the severity of the infection or cancer. An eight week course costs €660 including shipping so a typical 24 week course costs under €2000 – a fraction of the cost of chemotherapy, and, according to the research papers, more effective at fighting cancer. Immuno Biotech has supplied 4,000 patients through 300 doctors in 30 nations.

Private Tourism Sector and the Tourism Department in Vietnam are busy developing holidays for Germans

Vietnam busy developing touring holidays for German tourists.

Hanoi, Vietnam, March 3, 2013 — The tourism department said that it is developing programmes and packages to attract more tourists into the nation.

However, there would be a special emphasis on attracting German tourists because Vietnam has been a favourite destination for travellers from Germany and german speaking countries.

The nation now has high class hotels and resorts, beaches and ethnic cuisine, which has been a hit with tourists worldwide.

Tourism statistics show that the nation receives 110,000 German tourists yearly. Further, it is also seen that the number of tourists is increasing at an average of 20 per cent annually. There are direct flights between Germany and Vietnam.

Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd. (http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com), and one of active members VNAT said that Germans are, of late, becoming increasingly interested in Vietnamese food and culture, noting that Germans are looking for authentic experiences in Vietnam and a deeper understanding of the country’s culture, food, history and everyday life.

Vietnam is not a mass-market tourist destination, with most travellers interested in the local culture. The tourism department said that the nation is becoming more and more recognized as a safe and favoured destination for high-end German tourists.

Vietnam has launched a new campaign to attract tourists from all over the world under the slogan of ‘Timeless charm.’ German tourists wish to experience Vietnam’s defining characteristics: thrills, nature, heritage, festivals, pristine beauty, enjoyment, scenery and essence.

“Germany economy is still strongest in euro zone, we expect good German traffic to Vietnam in 2013-2014, especially from small groups, families, couples and special interest travelers. Germany is among the top European markets for us, aided by a direct flight between Vietnam and Germany. Vietnam is better known as a backpacker destination for German travelers, but efforts are being made to promote Vietnam as a luxury destination and to attract upscale German-speaking travelers with niche tourism products. Our German speaking team is very well placed to serve high-end travelers.” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

The VNA, Vietnam Airlines and 26 leading tourism firms including Luxury Travel Ltd. will attend ITB Berlin 2013 from 6 to 10 March, Hall 26A/122.

Aviation Job Firm Celebrates 10 Years of On-line Job Placement Worldwide

Online aviation job posting service, AviaNation.com, is celebrating 10 years of providing job offers for aviation applicants around the world. Providing both free and paid services, applicants communicate directly with the employers and recruiters.

Delray Beach, FL, February 28, 2013 — AviaNation.com, the premier job posting site for aviation jobs around the US and the World celebrates their 10 year anniversary in aviation job placement.

Formed in 2003, AviaNation (http://www.AviaNation.com) now has over 4,000 registered employers who post their open positions and search the database of over 65,000 member applicants when looking to fill open vacancies.

Applicants are able to see the jobs as they are posted, and respond directly to the employer / recruiter with their resume or CV. AviaNation does not get in the middle of the applicant’s hiring process, nor do they take any salary when the applicant is accepted. AviaNation receives an average of 25 new job postings every day.

“We are unique in the industry, in that we have a worldwide database of jobs and applicants” says Tim Kirkwood, AviaNation’s Director of Member Companies, “When the recession caused the industry to slump in the US, AviaNation was able to offer positions in India and China, which were growing at that time”.

Now that the aviation industry in the US has recovered, AviaNation is poised to guide a new group of applicants to their future in the skies. AviaNation also reaches out to aviation students, as well as displaced or furloughed airline employees with their free resume-posting service, and their access to the AviaNation jobs pages. Interested applicants can see these current job offerings at http://www.AviaNation.com/student. “This is our way of giving back to the industry.” says Kirkwood, “If you’ve lost your job, it just seems wrong to require you to pay to find a new one at a time when every dollar counts.”

AviaNation is proud to be corporate sponsors of Women in Aviation (http://www.wai.org) and Women in Corporate Aviation (http://www.wca-intl.org), and members of the National Business Aircraft Association (http://www.nbaa.org).

P2I Previews Advanced IPX7 Dunkable™ Technology at Mobile World Congress

With millions of users already benefiting from P2i’s splashproof liquid repellent nano-coating on Motorola and TCL Communication smartphones and tablets, the company is unveiling its new, Dunkable™ technology at Mobile World Congress.

SHOWSTOPPERS, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, SPAIN, 28 February 2013 — With millions of users already benefiting from P2i‘s splashproof liquid repellent nano-coating on Motorola and TCL Communication smartphones and tablets, the company is unveiling its new, Dunkable™ technology at Mobile World Congress.

Dunkable™ is a game-changing hydrophobic barrier which allows electronics to function in liquids for an extended period of time. Differentiating itself from the splashproof technology, which is a hydrophobic layer approximately 1000 times thinner than a human hair, the Dunkable™ barrier enables manufacturers to reach an IPx7 water protection rating.

Dr. Stephen Coulson, Chief Technical Officer, P2i, said: “P2i recognizes the market need for a truly dunkable technology which goes beyond protecting against accidental splashes and spills. We have already proven on tens of millions of electronic devices that our everyday splashproof technology significantly reduces water ingress and dramatically increases reliability.

However those needing protection against full submergence for a significant period of time, require something extra. P2i’s cutting-edge Dunkable™ technology provides just this by preventing long lasting corrosion and water damage. Make no mistake; this technology signals the end of extra gaskets, membranes, snubbers, clumsy plastic jack plugs and ugly watertight cases. Dunkable™ is IPx7 without changing the look and feel of a smartphone.”

As a commercially successful innovator, P2i operates in five key market sectors, including Electronics, Lifestyle and Filtration.

It was first established in 2004 to commercialize liquid repellent technologies originally designed to protect soldiers’ military uniforms from chemical attack. P2i has an extended patent portfolio enabling the development of further technologies and application methods. Today, P2i operates as a global outfit, with expertise extending across the technology, engineering and implementation processes.

Carl Francis, Chief Executive Officer, P2i, said: “Dunkable™ represents the very latest advancement in nanocoating technology for the smartphone and tablet market. With over 60 patent families behind us, and dedicated teams researching functional nano-coatings such as anti-scratch, the future is very bright for P2i and our customers.”

Over the past two years P2i has received recognition for the successful leadership and commercialization of its nano-coating technologies through a great variety of industry awards and has been shortlisted for GSMA’s Global Mobile Awards 2013 in the ‘Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough’ category.

About P2i
P2i is the world leader in liquid repellent nano-coating technology. It was established in 2004 by Dstl/Ploughshare Innovations to commercialize liquid repellent treatments developed by the UK’s Ministry of Defence. Now on a commercial scale, P2i’s patented process has been successfully applied to a wide range of products in a wide range of markets including Electronics, Lifestyle, Life Sciences, Military & Institutional and Filtration & Energy.

Immuno Biotech organises world’s first GcMAF Immunology Conference

The conference will have talks by leading scientists and doctors from around the world and feature new research papers on the uses of GcMAF to restore the body’s immune system to full strength to fight diseases, autism and cancer.

St Peter Port, Guernsey (February 26, 2013) — The world’s first GcMAF conference will be held on the 19th, 20th and 21st of April in the attractive woodland Conference Centre at the Holiday Inn Frankfurt, Germany. Sponsored by Immuno Biotech Ltd, the conference will have talks by leading scientists and doctors from around the world and feature new research papers on the uses of GcMAF to restore the body’s immune system to full strength to fight diseases, autism and cancer.

David Noakes, Immuno Biotech’s CEO, said, “When research scientists and doctors meet to add together their individual results into one whole, the science takes a great step forward. It’s a pooling of the latest discoveries. We expect to come up with a definitive list of synergistic treatments which will allow doctors to treat stage 3 and some stage 4 cancers with the same 80% success that they achieve with GcMAF alone on stage 2 cancers.

“At the moment GcMAF eradicates autism in 15% of cases. By identifying the best complimentary treatments we hope to take that up to 40%. Amongst others, we hope to take ME/CFS from 30 to 50% success. The workshops will encourage informal networking and new ideas. We have a packed programme of talks by leading GcMAF researchers, doctors reporting on their success at eradicating cancer, autism and ME/CFS with GcMAF and, as a result, registrations are already flooding in.”

Registration is open now for doctors and research scientists at http://gcmafconference.org and, from March 20th, registration opens for members of the public and patients wishing to learn more about GcMAF.

Immuno Biotech extracts and isolates GcMAF molecules from healthy human blood. As part of the process of tests and assays to ensure its GcMAF is active, it has been conducting laboratory research into the methods by which GcMAF destroys cancers cells, and is publishing its first three research papers at international conferences on cancer, immunology and autism. Currently there are over 60 research papers on GcMAF by 142 eminent scientists with new peer-reviewed papers being added at an increasing rate from university teams and doctors from dozens of countries.

The quality of Immuno Biotech’s GcMAF has made it the World’s leading supplier and the provider of choice for doctors and scientists with the company being cited in eleven research papers to date. Many of the independent research papers on GcMAF are listed on its website http://www.gcmaf.eu.

Background
GcMAF is a vital part of the human immune system, which doesn’t work without it. However, many diseases including cancer attempt to prevent production of the body’s own GcMAF and, if successful, that prevents the immune system from fighting them, resulting in the diseases growing unchecked and becoming chronic.

Immuno Biotech extracts GcMAF molecules from healthy blood. A weekly injection of a tiny clear drop restores the level of GcMAF in the blood to normal, effectively one millionth of a blood transfusion.

The time it takes for the body to fight the infection and return to being able to produce normal levels of its own GcMAF depends on the severity of the infection or cancer. An eight week course costs €660 including shipping so a typical 24 week course costs under €2000 – a fraction of the cost of conventional treatments. Immuno Biotech has supplied 4,000 patients through 300 doctors in 30 nations.

2012 Statistics Show That Botox Training Will Help Physicians Grow Their Practices

“For the third consecutive year, the overall growth in cosmetic surgery continues to be driven by a significant rise in minimally-invasive procedures,” confirmed Dr. Gregory Evans, MD, President of the ASPS.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – February 26, 2013 — The economy is seeing an upturn and so too is the aesthetic medical industry. The ASPS published that cosmetic procedures, both surgical and minimally invasive were up 5% over 2011. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive, hands on, live demonstration and didactic instruction in all of the top 5 non-invasive procedures that the ASPS reports on, and offers unparalleled business support to physicians as they build successful aesthetic medical practices and capture the continued growth in the minimally-invasive market in 2013.

Surgical procedures grew only by 1% in 2012, but non-surgical treatments, such as botox, dermal fillers and chemical peels grew by 6%. “More people are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). “They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of botox and dermal fillers, then can get a great result at a fraction of the price.” In the recent report from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), there were 13 million non-surgical procedures performed in 2012, and as in 2011, in 2012, the top five minimally-invasive procedures were:

– Botulinum toxin type A (6.1 million procedures, up 8 percent)
– Soft tissue fillers (2 million procedures, up 5 percent)
– Chemical peel (1.1 million procedures, up 2 percent)
– Laser hair removal (1.1 million procedures, up 4 percent)
– Microdermabrasion (974,000 procedures, up 8 percent)

“For the third consecutive year, the overall growth in cosmetic surgery continues to be driven by a significant rise in minimally-invasive procedures,” confirmed Dr. Gregory Evans, MD, President of the ASPS.

Jeff Russell concurs. “We are hearing from our members that minimally invasive procedures like botox and other cosmetic injectables, medically supervised hCG weight loss (http://www.hcgtraining.com) as well as laser treatments, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our cornerstone training program, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com), has steadily increased in the last 6 months. Physicians are realizing they not only need to offer botox treatments to their patients, but also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians on how to package these treatments for the most appealing and profitable outcomes.”

In line with these findings, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in hands-on and live demonstration training on these top 5 minimally invasive procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned, board-certified cosmetic dermatologists who cover aesthetic patient consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation, pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the botox training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility, not a hotel room chair.
