Last December, Mrs. Yvonne Keller sent her son to enroll in the Narconon program (http://www.narconon.ca). Unfortunately, according to Ahern, he very soon manifested violent and irrational behavior demonstrating that he was not qualified to do the Narconon drug-free, educational model. In addition, he expressed heatedly that he himself had no desire to do the program. After six days of refusal to receive services, Narconon Trois-Rivieres, says Ahern, had no choice but to let him leave the facility. He was happy that he could leave, as was appropriate since he did not wish to be there of his own choice, and he was put on a bus home.

“We totally agree with the comments made by Mrs. Keller to CBC News,” said Ahern, regarding her dismay that she could find no public treatment available for her son and that lack of treatment beds has been a huge obstacle for years. “We sincerely hope that Mrs. Keller will find a suitable program that will be able to help her son,” says Ahern.

Narconon centers deliver a drug free program model that has saved tens of thousands of lives from people worldwide. Narconon drug rehab is licensed to use and delivers a secular program model, based on years of research by author and humanitarian, L. Ron Hubbard. Also known as the founder of Scientology, Mr. Hubbard had spent years looking into the effects of drugs on the mind and body when he responded in the late 1960s to a request for help from heroin addict William Benitez, who had just founded the Narconon program in Arizona State Prison, based on his own reading of Mr. Hubbard’s works.

“From the beginning,” says Ahern, “Bill Benitez said that this model of drug rehabilitation would be based on Hubbard’s concept of raising life skills and personal ability.” From this beginning, the secular Narconon program has expanded to be used by centers around the world (www.narconon.org).

“We have so many letters of thanks from parents or others about the recovery of a loved one,” says Ahern.

Quoting from just one letter sent to a Toronto newspaper just last week:

“My daughter lost her way while attending university in Toronto. She is beautiful, intelligent and very talented. A new love introduced her to cocaine and a nightmare was born.

“I was desperate to rescue my daughter and my Internet search led me to Narconon…

“For 4 months, I had support from the Narconon [Trois-Rivieres] staff and I was given as much information as I needed to calm my fears. I visited the center as often as I wanted…I knew she was getting tools for her to apply to her life and they would always stay with her…She was progressing, changing, and recovering.

“…I will always remain grateful to Narconon and their belief in aiding people to conquer their addiction. What a challenge! Today my daughter is clean and much better equipped to solve the ups and downs that life brings to us.

“Did Narconon save my daughter’s life? Of this, I have no doubt.”

– L.S., Kingston, Ontario.

David Love, who made numerous negative comments in the CBC interview with Mrs. Keller, was also a student at Narconon Trois-Rivieres for 5 months. Love has said publicly that he had been a drug addict for 35 years. While he was in the program, he wrote voluntarily a number of remarkable success stories about his wins and gains.

“It strikes me most strange,” says Ahern, “that Love is now attacking the very group that per his earlier statements saved his life. He changed his mind, apparently, after he began receiving payments from members of the Anonymous criminal network, dozens of whom have been arrested around the world recently. But what did David Love say when he was actually here, doing the program? Here is just one sample in Love’s own writing from 8 March, 2009.”

“Wow! This was a ‘Big One.’ Over the past 4 decades, I have been to several detox and rehab centers across Canada. I thought I was OK and ‘good to go’ but soon after leaving the centers, I was addicted again and in worse condition. I was lost, afraid, and expressed a lot of anger because of the pain. I felt that too much time has passed and perhaps I was ‘unfixable.’ In fact, half way through [this Narconon course], I discussed this with a Narconon staff member. I was assured that if I just followed the program and ‘let it happen’ that I was ‘fixable.’ This assurance helped a lot. Although I still had some reservations, I began to focus on where I was and what I was doing. You can only understand it once you do it… and it is amazing and incredible! This book has helped to change my life. Now I have a life. I am here and I am alive. I was fixable.”

That, says Ahern, is the true product of Narconon – “Now I have a life. I am here and I am alive. I was fixable.”

When fully functional, this energy field is far reaching. In fact, in its basic form, it embodies seven major layers powered through seven major energy centers called Chakras.

“We are excited to share that we have discovered a way to use this auric field to influence specific bio-triggers which vibrate at a designated combination of frequencies,” explains Richard Eaton, president, AlphaBio Centrix.

These frequencies communicate with, and enhance the body’s natural energetic system. By wearing the TheraEX “Bio App” 24 hours a day for the duration of the protocol, the body is immersed in a corrective, informational and energetic exchange that promotes the balance of weak, disturbed and overactive energy.

AlphaBio Centrix uses a special substrate material for TheraEX (“Therapeutic Experience”) that is sensitive to radio frequencies and is bonded to a non-latex woven medical pad manufactured by 3M Company. It’s been formulated with an adhesive made for different types of skin conditions. This substrate material is then transformed by Infusion Technology, adding digital information onto the material.

These Bio Apps are an ideal alternative health care solution, and according to its recent research studies, mounting stress problems are causing an overwhelming effect on people’s health and emotional problems. Stress factors include: today’s uncertain work environment; and increasing workloads which may result in work-related injuries and health problems.

Camp Blue Skies focuses on the camper’s physical, mental and emotional well-being through continued development of a healthy lifestyle and positive social skills. Camp Blue Skies takes a three-pronged approach to camp, including recreation, socialization and education. This philosophy provides opportunities to be active outdoors, learn new things and make new friends.

“I realized that when these individuals age out of the school system, opportunities for recreation and socialization fall off greatly. My dream was to provide an overnight weeklong camp for this underserved population, where campers can enjoy true camp experiences like ropes courses, fishing and campfire fun while challenging and stretching themselves to grow,” says founder Dick Sesler.

In October 2010, Dick Sesler’s dream became a reality. To date, Camp Blue Skies has served over 150 campers and over 180 loyal volunteers have committed their time. Camps are currently being held in NC and GA. The organization’s goal is to continue to improve their programs and expand camps in the southeast region and hopefully beyond in the near future. Camp Blue Skies is a 501(c)(3) public charity. The organization’s mission is to enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities by providing opportunities for life skill education through recreation and socialization.

How can this be? “There’s a relatively new form of long-term care insurance for the workplace that’s incredibly easy to set up,” says Cahn. “It’s called ‘multi-life.’ A multi-life plan can in place virtually overnight. All you need is three or more participants.” In most organizations, he points out, there are at least three people who could benefit from an LTC policy and would love the special rate and abbreviated application process. Participants need not all be rank-and-file employees; they may include family members as well as company owners and managers.

“The multi-life plan is the up-and-coming form that’s far different from the traditional group LTC plan, which typically takes weeks or months to set up,” says Cahn.

Multi-life long-term care insurance combines the flexibility and choice of individual coverage with the cost reduction and simplification of traditional group long-term care insurance. Employees and business owners get policies at a discount and with reduced underwriting; and they have greater latitude in selecting benefit features. Multi-life plans can be implemented as an employer-paid benefit, a voluntary benefit, or a combination of both; and are suitable for tiny organizations as well as larger ones.

Traditional group LTC insurance, in comparison, is usually a one-size-fits-all, employer-sponsored plan without individual underwriting. Suitable for organizations with hundreds to thousands of employees, this type is rarely found in smaller companies or non-profits.

“There’s a lot of internal decision making required to set up such plans in most cases,” says Cahn. “By contrast, setting up a multi-life plan can be almost as easy as setting up an individual plan for one person or couple.” Although multi-life plans are most popular in smaller organizations, “they also work well in medium-sized to large outfits; and they have the virtue that you can start small, with just a handful of participants, and then expand.”

“If your employer already has an LTC benefit in place, you’re home free,” says Cahn. “But most employers don’t, so you may want to do a little spadework before proceeding.”

He recommends this three-step process:
1. Find and confer with a long-term care specialist who knows how to set up multi-life plans as well as individual plans. “Get your ducks in a row and make this expert your partner in approaching your employer.”
2. Talk with your employer about your need for long-term care insurance; and explain the cost-saving and other benefits of involving other interested employees. “This should be enough to gain the support your need.”
3. Set up a meeting with your organization’s decision makers, your expert, and yourself. “The rest should be easy.”

Cahn’s company, LTCFP, has more than 500 LTC specialists serving individuals and organizations in all parts of nation. They may be located, by state, at http://www.ltcfp.com .

LTCFP is a co-founder and sponsor of the “3 in 4 Need More” campaign, which seeks to alert Americans to the long-term healthcare crisis, and to multiply the number protected by long-term care planning.

During an equally powerful after-event workshop on Saturday March 3 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dallas, author and former Texas child bride Dr. Trevicia Williams will extend education and empowerment to mothers and teen daughters while addressing the alarming statistic that Dallas Texas is #1 in the nation for repeat teen pregnancies.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancies teen pregnancies in the U.S. is declining; however, Texas is still number 3 in the nation for teen births.

In the spirit of prevention and healthy relationships, Dr. Trevicia Williams designed the free “Real Beauty Inside Out” workshop for mothers and teen daughters to communicate, connect, build, bond and grow as a result of the interactive intervention.

“Getting through the ‘I Love You But I Can’t Stand You Right Now’ time in the relationship can be tough,” says Dr. Trevicia Williams. Mothers and teen daughters will learn tools for effective communication and the fundamentals of building healthy relationships.

The workshop will also empower mothers and teen daughters during the sometimes stressful and rebellious teen years, says Dr. Trevicia Williams. This limited seating free workshop draws participants from the Dallas, Highland Park and Frisco Independent School Districts.

“Communication is the lifeline of all relationships and this workshop helps mothers and daughters open up,” says Dr. Trevicia Williams.

Psychologist, talk show host and author of child bride memoir, “There Are Pearls In The Pain of Every Experience” (ISBN: 978-0974351988), Dr. Trevicia Williams ( http://www.treviciawilliams.com ), is on a mission to empower girls and women worldwide. From Texas child bride and teen mother to life strategist, Dr. Trevicia shares hard-earned wisdom and real-life strategies that inspire teens and motivate parents to unleash their power to communicate, realize their self-worth, build healthier relationships and realize their fullest potentials.

Dr. Trevicia Williams echoes Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew in questioning the effectiveness of reality shows like Teen Mom and MTV’s 16 and Pregnant. The shows focus on the realities of teens during adolescent years and the pains of growing up while being pregnant, but, simultaneously, seem to glamourize teen pregnancy.

“Leah Messer and Chelsea Houska teen mom reality stories can be prevented: Teens should stay teen. We should encourage children to be children, girls to be girls and boys to be boys, while they are children,” says Williams.

The move follows UNUM Group’s announcement on February 6 that it would discontinue group long-term care insurance sales to new group customers. For years UNUM has been one of the nation’s largest providers of traditional group plans at the workplace.

“What’s happening,” says Bill Jones, President of MedAmerica, “is a quantum shift from one type of LTC employee benefit to another. The traditional group plan is being outpaced by multi-life LTC insurance, which is more flexible and fine-tuned for modern organizations.”

Multi-life long-term care insurance combines the flexibility and choice of individual coverage with the cost reduction and simplification of traditional group long-term care insurance. Employees and business owners get policies at a discount and with reduced underwriting; and they have greater latitude in selecting benefit features. Multi-life plans can be implemented as an employer-paid benefit, a voluntary benefit, or a combination of both; and are suitable for smaller organizations as well as those with hundreds to thousands of employees.

“The traditional group form of long-term care insurance will continue to exist, but its use for most employers will likely decline,” says Jones. “I believe the wave of the future for employer-sponsored long-term care insurance is the multi-life model.”

Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTCFP, agrees. “The traditional group plans tend to be one-size-fits-all, giving employees little choice of benefit features or premium cost,” he says. “This has the virtue of easy implementation; but with today’s sophisticated underwriting and simplified, high-tech implementation, a broad menu of choices is possible. And we find that’s preferred by most employees and employers, regardless of organization size.”

The new policy suite is called LTC Complete Worksite Solutions. MedAmerica is the carrier and provides the underwriting, claims management, and support. LTCFP, with more than 500 agents nationwide, is the distributor for this program. The suite will be marketed by LTCFP’s Worksite Division which, in turn, will work with benefit brokers that supply a variety of employee benefits such as major medical, dental, and 401k retirement plans.

The LTC Complete Worksite Solutions suite, true to its name, offers a complete range of choices for long-term care coverage that are appropriate for today’s more experienced, highly-trained employees. It’s also a great fit for fast-evolving 21st-century organizations ranging from small service providers to large industrial and commercial corporations, as well as government agencies, associations and other non-profit groups.

With LTC Complete Worksite Solutions, employees may:
* Choose a very low-cost starter plan that may be expanded later or used to supplement other coverage,
* Add benefit features to best protect their particular set of retirement assets,
* Choose how they’d like to receive benefit payments at claim time: 100% reimbursement plan, or 100% cash plan so they get a check in the mail with no need to submit claim receipts, or a combination of reimbursement and cash,
* Request special features such as inflation riders,
* Utilize conveniences such as electronic enrollment and credit card payment,
* And take advantage of the personalized services of LTC specialists — from LTCFP — who help them make informed decisions.

However employees choose to tailor their long-term care insurance coverage with LTC Complete Worksite Solutions, they get a multi-life discount and simplified underwriting, and depending on their state may even qualify for tax advantages. Also, they may opt to extend coverage to spouses or other family members at the same discounted rate.

“With an aging and increasingly professional workforce in America,” says Truesdell, “we’re very bullish about LTC Complete. It’s a leading example of the multi-life LTC benefit, which has a huge future as our workforce grows older and employees experience long-term care events with their parents and other loved ones.”

More information on LTC Complete Worksite Solutions is available at http://worksiteacademy.com/EBB/group-LTC.html . Rapidly expanding, LTCFP’s Worksite Division is currently seeking LTC brokers and agents, and welcomes alliances with benefit brokers. Information on opportunities is also available at the above web address.

It is targeted to students, young adults and people of all ages whose lives are in an important stage of transition and encourages readers to choose, openly and proactively – to accept responsibility for every area of their lives through their decision making, actions and societal involvement.

“Our Whole Life Is Our Whole Responsibility” emphasizes to its readers that they need to make a strong commitment to examine and cultivate good character, responsible ethics and high integrity in order to make productive contributions to their lives.

Readers are also challenged to be open to expanding their knowledge base beyond what they “know” by adding to their own life experiences instead of blindly accepting untested and unexamined information that they receive each day.

For instance, in chapter 13, author Michael G. Kamau writes: “I have found that many people struggle to find their place in life because of a damaged sense of entitlement that was taught to them in the home while they were children.”

“This book teaches us that we must undergo a fundamental, paradigm shift in our thinking about our personal, family and human survival – we must be willing to accept full responsibility for every area of our lives and stop the blame,” says Michael G. Kamau, author.

“Our Whole Life is Our Whole Responsibility” demonstrates how people need to be the final authority when it comes to their health, wellness, education, spiritual empowerment, character development and career pioneering.

One reader reports, “This book takes away all excuses to improving our life. It is encouraging, entertaining and practical. I wish someone had taught me this information 20 years ago. I honestly believe that anyone can make their own life better at any age. This book gives lots of examples of that.”

The book is 217 pages and is available as a hard cover or e-book.

About the Author:
Prior to writing “Our Whole Life is Our Whole responsibility,” Kamau labeled himself as a classic underachiever throughout his youth due to many of the topic areas that are addressed in his book.

Kamau has a BA in Journalism and Business Management from Central State University is a former tutor, life coach, mentor, college Instructor of Humanities, public speaker, seminar leader, guest columnist and current business owner in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

ProKera(R) is a unique treatment option for patients presenting with corneal abrasions, scarring, erosions, corneal scars, chemical burns, corneal defects, partial limbal stem cell deficiencies, high-risk corneal transplants, Stevens – Johnson syndrome, and many other ocular surface conditions which may require corneal surgery or a corneal transplant. Sutureless and adhesiveless, ProKera(R) is a safe and effective method to promote healing and reconstruction of the ocular surface and orbit with minimal side effects.

ProKera(R) is similar to a contact lens and is made by placing a piece of amniotic membrane tissue in between two rings made out of a clear, flexible material. The membrane is thin and clear, like the tissue on the surface of the eye and protects the eye’s damaged tissue while inserted. The ProKera(R) device can remain in the eye for up to 30 days. However, it should facilitate healing of most defects within 5-10 days, at which point the membrane in the device will naturally dissolve and the ring set can be removed by an eye surgeon.

The healing properties of ProKera(R) deliver natural biological and therapeutic actions inherent in amniotic tissue to help damaged eye surfaces heal faster. Eyes treated with ProKera(R) heal faster, with less scarring and inflammation. Moreover, it reduces chances of the formation of abnormal blood vessels and induces less pain or discomfort to the patient.

“ProKera allows me to provide my patients with exceptional clinical results safely and effectively, without surgery,” said Dr. Mary Davidian. “In addition, the ProKera device is now configured and packaged much like a contact lens, which enables easy insertion right here in our office, hospital bedside, or following other surgical procedures. I have been using ProKera in the operating room for several years and I was delighted when it was officially approved by Medicare recently for use as an office procedure rather than an operating room procedure.”

Considered a leading expert in cataract, corneal treatment and surgery, Dr. Davidian frequents national conferences on ophthalmology. She has lectured to other ophthalmologists on the proper use of ProKera(R) and proper diagnosis, addressing the conditions under which a patient can benefit the most from this device.

“I think of it as a magic Band-Aid,” said Dr. Davidian. “As a corneal specialist, I see many of patients with corneal damage, including patients referred to me by my colleagues. ProKera(R) allows me to provide patients with a unique alternative to surgery which, in many cases, helps them with a much quicker and less painful recovery.”

Dr. Mary Davidian, founder and Medical Director of Highland Ophthalmology Associates, LLC, has been living in and serving the greater Hudson Valley community since 1997. Dr. Davidian is a fellowship trained corneal specialist. She is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), the New York Keratorefractive Surgery Society, the New York Intraocular Lens Implant (NYIOL) Society, and the New York State Ophthalmological Society (NYSOS) in which she has served on the Board of Directors.

Dr. Davidian is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and serves as an Associate Adjunct Professor at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and the New York Medical College.
