Fort
Lauderdale, FL, – We wouldn’t expect a car to run well if we
didn’t maintain it, yet we expect our bodies to keep going even when we eat a
poor diet or do little to no exercise. We all have to age, that’s a given, but
we don’t have to accelerate the process and get old before our time. Dr.
Raymond Francis has already helped thousands put “incurable” diseases into
remission, shed excess weight, and achieve peak immunity from disease. Now, in
his latest book, Never Feel Old Again
(HCI Communications), he shares his ground-breaking approach to help us reverse
accelerated aging and enjoy robust health and wellness.
“What
is astounding is that today we are measuring 30 year-olds with the biological
markers of 80 year-olds and a few years ago 10 year-olds were measured with the
biological markers of 45 year-olds!” says Dr. Francis. “If you are biologically
45 at age 10, what will you be at age 50?” This has produced an epidemic of
children suffering from diseases of aging such as cancer, diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. While these children are chronologically young, they
are biologically old!
Accelerated
aging is not natural yet it currently affects our entire society, resulting in widespread
chronic and degenerative disease and out-of-control healthcare costs. The good
news is that the human body is a self-repairing system and as long as we
support its repair function, we can stay biologically young. In Dr. Francis’
book, readers gain a fundamental understanding of why we experience accelerated
aging and learn how to keep their bodies in good repair to look and feel their
best at any age.
In
our celebrity-driven society that promotes surface beauty, people panic when
they feel or look old and often tend to see plastic surgery, Botox injections,
fillers, or even hormone-replacement therapies as the answer. The author reminds
us: “These things do not yield meaningful results because they fail to activate
the body’s self-repair mechanisms and often make it worse by introducing
additional toxins into the body.” Dr. Francis’ book provides a simple system of
health and disease that almost anyone can understand and put to use in their
life enabling them to get healthy and stay that way!
Raymond
Francis is an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal-health
maintenance. A chemist by training and a graduate of M.I.T., he is the author
of numerous bestselling books that have been translated into five languages. Raymond
is the creator of the Beyond Health Model, a revolutionary and simplified
understanding of health that can be taught to a child yet is powerful enough to
cure terminal cancer. He used his knowledge of biochemistry to save his own
life over 28 years ago and today, at age 76, he enjoys an extraordinary level
of health. A guest speaker on over 2000 radio and TV shows, Raymond has
addressed health conferences nationwide and around the world.

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Petaluma,
CA, – “Ricky” is a small stuffed monkey embroidered
with hotline contact numbers and given out free to shelters and to anyone alone
on the streets. He was recreated in the image of Jeannie Kerrigan’s little
stuffed monkey she had as a child that was lost when she was raped as a young
girl. Today, Jeannie is the Founder of Ricky’s Revolution, along with Co-founder
Katherine Patton. Through the use of Ricky, this non-profit (501)3 national
outreach program provides information about national hotlines, safety and
shelter options (including rape crisis), a runaway hotline, safe house and
domestic violence hotline.
Wherever
there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness and Ricky is a
tangible reminder that help is available. He represents renewed hope for
runaway and homeless youth, victims of domestic violence, and victims of sexual
abuse, by giving them the information they need to reach places of safety as
quickly as possible.
As
Street Team Leaders, Jeannie and Katherine go onto the streets personally
handing out thousands of Rickys and interacting with individuals involved in
acute situations of violence and homelessness. Additionally, Ricky’s Revolution
has volunteer-based Shelter Teams within multiple communities who deliver
Rickys to shelters locally. This unique distribution process also allows
volunteer community members to become a part of the process in helping bring
these issues to the forefront. This remarkable non-profit works diligently to bring
awareness to the general population that issues of abuse, rape, incest, runaway
youth and the homeless need attention now!
Jeannie
Kerrigan also wrote Layla, her deeply
moving memoir that tells her shocking story of a horrific life of incest,
physical abuse, rape, stripping, and prostitution in a world of drugs and
insanity. It speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves, as do the Ricky
monkeys being circulated on the streets of America.
Founder
and Executive Director, Jeannie enjoys a successful 14-year practice in Santa
Fe, NM and California. She is a healer, teacher, author, and spiritual leader
whose experience has made her one of the most effective public speakers on the
planet.
Co-founder
and Director Katherine Patton has over 20 years of experience as professional counselor
and educator, working with abused youth, emotionally disturbed children and
adolescents, and their families. Katherine understands and believes in the
value of human connection as a vital and integral part of the healing process.

FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Nashville,
TN, – When the economy goes down, crime goes up! Burglaries
and home invasions have hit record levels. The most troubling fact to many is
that these crimes are occurring far more frequently in rural and suburban
areas. Gun and home security system sales have also hit record levels as people
look for ways to protect their homes and families. With the holidays approaching, homeowners must
take some basic steps to keep intruders out of their homes.
Alan Young has
made keeping people safe his life’s work. He is a sought-after speaker and
security expert whose advice and products have been featured in magazines, newspapers,
on numerous radio shows, and on top TV shows such as The Today Show, Fox News, Bloomberg, The CBS Early Show, The Discovery
Channel, “It Takes a Thief,” and HGTV.
Alan has given numerous talks to police forces, police academies and homeowners
associations on ways to improve the physical security of their homes and lessen
the chance of becoming a victim.
Crime is no
longer a “bad area” problem. In the past several years, the increased
distribution of methamphetamine and other drugs has dramatically increased the
amount of crime in rural areas. “Better” suburban areas have also seen a
significant increase in crime during that same time frame. “It’s pretty simple, thieves have finally
figured out that people in better areas have more things that are worth
stealing and ‘new age’ drugs have really changed rural America,” says Young.
Young is concerned
that most people view security as how to reaction to an invasion, rather on how
to prevent one. He reminds homeowners that a home alarm doesn’t work until
after an intruder is inside and a gun is a last resort that can only be used if
the gun owner is at home. He believes
that several major misconceptions, such as “alarm systems keep you safe,”
continue to put people at risk. “Police
response time to a home alarm system is often over 20 minutes and most thieves
can be in and out of a home in less than 5. Someone can kick in your door and
be in your house in 10 seconds; is that enough time to find your gun? Will your
spouse or children know how to use your gun if you are away? The key is to take
steps to keep them out in the first place,” says Young.
Young’s advice
to homeowners is to be proactive: “Don’t
announce vacation plans on social media sites, install proper lighting inside
and out, keep shrubs trimmed, and most important, secure the exterior doors,”
says Young. Adding, “Securing your doors
and windows is crucial to increasing the likelihood of success against a
burglar. There are simply too many easy targets out there. Make sure that you
are not one of them.”
Alan Young
graduated Vanderbilt University with a B.S. degree and a dual major in
Organizational Development and Economics, and an MBA from Vanderbilt’s Owen
School of Management. Following graduation, he had a brief professional
football career and joined Banc of America Securities as an investment banker,
where he executed mergers & acquisitions and capital raising transactions.
It was after
Young began rehabbing properties that experienced repeated break-ins that he
and his engineer brother formed Armor Concepts and started producing the highly
successful EZ Armor, Door Jamb Armor and ArmorDoor products, which are sold
through Lowe’s, Menards and other retailers. “Armor Concepts was formed as a way to provide economical products that
homeowners can use to secure their homes. Education is my passion so I have
made it a personal mission to educate others on how to think about security,” says
Young. Adding, “Crime always increases around the holidays, which are right around
the corner, so people really need to think about enjoying their holidays and
avoid becoming a statistic.”
EZ Armor was
recently recommended in an online article about apartment security as “an affordable door security device that
will strengthen your entryways and help prevent unwelcome intruders from
forcing their way in.” For more information on Alan Young or his products,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Hope, PA, – Not since the 1985 movie Perfect, starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis, have fitness clubs been exposed to the degree of Memoirs of a Gym Rat: One man’s 20-year journey through the bowels of the health club industry, by Max Hawthorne. Hawthorne pulls from his real-life experiences to uncover shocking behind-the-scenes shenanigans with his humorous but eye-opening account of our nation’s health clubs.
“After 20 years in the business, I’ve seen it all,” says Hawthorne. “Walk into almost any fitness club around the nation and you’ll find it – sex, drugs, deceit, membership cons, locker robberies – you’ll be shocked to know what really goes on at these clubs, both during and after business hours. It’s all very troubling.”
Fitness clubs have adopted a radically different culture from years’ past. Oftentimes, being coined a “meat-market,” due to rampant SEXcapades among local hard-bodies, gym rat culture has taken a sharper turn for the worse. There’s the Jillian Michael’s wanna-be personal trainer, who screams out orders while getting a little ‘too much’ pleasure from your pain and inevitable post-workout vomiting. Then there is the slimy sales rep, who cuts down your self-esteem with shady tactics to convince you to sign a contract that will surely outlive you. And don’t forget the steroid-infused, Hercules types, whose obsession with sex surpasses the size of their biceps.
Hawthorne introduces us to a hilarious cast of characters with twisted wit and clever anecdotes, while guiding you through best practices to getting the fit body you want, without getting caught up in the negative side of a gym rat’s existence.
Max Hawthorne has more than twenty years in the health club industry. He’s a certified personal trainer, an avid boxer and martial artist, and has studied anatomy and kinesiology. He has seen it all, been part of it, and now plans to expose it!
Available at fine bookstores, online outlets and author’s website.

Mike knows that his skills and expertise, and that of his band of courageous men, will be tested to the max once they are thrust into the shadowy world of covert operations.
