Your Fat is Your Medicine Cabinet
Oesterman says misusing and abusing these drugs can be extremely dangerous. “Most people, particularly youth, are either unaware of or not concerned with the potential chemical dangers of these drugs,” said Oesterman. “There are varying strengths, side-effects and interactions to consider when taking medications that aren’t prescribed to you by a doctor or are simply misused. Unfortunately, the result can be great bodily harm or even death.”Witt's firm recently joined the support and recovery operations of Gulf Coast communities in the wake of the oil and gas spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Witt currently serves as a Special Advisor to the State of Louisiana, assisting with the nation's largest long-term recovery effort in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.Witt Associates, a public safety and crisis management consulting firm based in Washington D.C., focuses on disaster recovery and mitigation management services to state and local governments, educational institutions, the international community and corporations.An industry pioneer, ISCI is currently scheduling patients for treatment, especially those suffering from Parkinson’s disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Alzheimer’s, Myocardial ischemia, Lupus, MS, stroke, Diabetes type 1 and type 2, ALS, COPD, and spinal cord injuries and a host of autoimmune related conditions – illnesses which affect hundreds of thousands of patients in the United States alone. Patients receive their own Adult Stem and Regenerative Cells, thereby avoiding the risk of rejection or disease transmission that exists with donor stem cells and the controversy associated with embryonic stem cells. Once introduced these cells show an amazing ability to help heal the body’s organs and tissues, in addition to improving blood supplies and circulation to the diseased organs and tissues."Zimek Technologies is thrilled to have James Lee Witt join our team," stated Kurt Grosman, CEO of Zimek. "Having Mr. Witt onboard is a testament to the effectiveness of our products and the need for stronger decontamination protocols. He will provide unprecedented leadership in the growth of our company." Zimek's sophisticated three-dimensional touch-less decontamination technology is being implemented in many facilities nationwide to effectively prevent the spread of deadly viruses and bacteria.SAN DIEGO -- International Stem Cell Institute (http://www.iStemCelli.com), a worldwide leader in Stem Cell Therapy, today announces the launch of its significant and proprietary Adipose-derived Adult Stem Cell Therapy program, declaring it an extremely effective solution to treat degenerative diseases and conditions. Scientists and medical researchers worldwide are finding adult stem cells have an almost magical ability to heal the human body, and the supporting scientific evidence is rapidly mounting. The FDA recently approved Geron Corporation and University of California at Irvine to conduct trials utilizing embryonic stem cells in patients with spinal cord injuries. However after ten years of rigorous testing and research on embryonic stem cells, scientists have still not been able to treat or cure any diseases. By comparison, adult stem cells continue to show their ability to successfully treat human disease and injury, while embryonic stem cells continue to demonstrate zero benefits for humans, and only limited results in animal models. It’s now widely accepted Adult Stem Cells hold the real key to curing diseases and medical conditions and are the future direction of medicine. ISCI’s treatments—based solely on Adult Stem Cells—utilize leading edge technologies, and hold immediate promise for patients suffering from many forms of degenerative diseases.The first 25 families with children and/or teens will receive a free Rx DrugSAFE™ fingerprint home medicine safe, which provides a secure, convenient solution to safeguard prescription medications. All other participants will receive a coupon for $100 off the purchase of a safe.According to the 2009 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, one in five U.S. high school students say they have taken a prescription drug such as OxyContin®, Percocet®, Vicodin®, Adderall®, Ritalin®, or Xanax®, without a physician's prescription. Twelfth-graders had the highest likelihood of prescription drug abuse, at 26 percent.Zimek Technologies, based in Tampa, Florida, has been developing and marketing its patented automatic Micro-Mist® decontamination technologies for more than five years. Zimek's industry-leading technologies are used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, fire and EMS departments, healthcare facilities, public health agencies, transit systems, correctional facilities, and local law enforcement agencies across America.Operation Medicine Cabinet is presented by the University of Southern Nevada Drug Abuse Awareness Team, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Narcotics Education Foundation of Nevada, Clark County Coroner’s Office, Pain in the Drain and 8 News Now.

"Our Adipose Stem Cell Therapy program maximizes the healing potential of your own body. It's not just harvesting the stem cells, but how those stem cells are prepared and activated which impacts the in vivo therapeutic effect, that’s why our Adipose Stem Cell Therapy program is completely different from anything else available today,” claims Alexander."There must be a stronger focus on prevention of infection, not just remediation after the infection occurs," Witt added. "Decontamination can play a larger role in our efforts to combat deadly viral and bacterial infections, and is giving us a powerful new tool in the arsenal to fight biohazard attacks."
