We Have A ‘National Duty’ To Prepare Ourselves Says First Aid Global LLC, A Supplier of Personal Protective Equipment


Find supplies at www.FirstAidGlobal.com

Sickroom Ready for Patient

People with families need to ask themselves what supplies they have in their homes to isolate and treat a sick family member when hospitals are full to capacity and the potential of spreading the disease is high.

Imagine being detained in isolation away from your family, or sequestered in your own home for a minimum of 2 weeks or even months while a vaccine is slowly made. Imagine not being able to go out to your drug store or grocery store to pick up medical supplies or food items. This is the reality that certain Chinese communities are experiencing right now – Wuhan, Huanggang, Huangshi – sixteen cities in all representing fifty-million souls. The United States isn’t anywhere near that yet, but you can begin to understand where I’m going with this. People with families need to ask themselves, “What supplies do I have in my home to isolate and treat my sick family member when hospitals are full to capacity and the potential of spreading the disease is high.”

Todd West, CFO of First Aid Global LLC has some insights about preparedness, based upon the recent buying trends for protective masks and suits, “We have a ‘National Duty’ to prepare ourselves ahead of time so that life will be easier on everyone during a pandemic outbreak, including suppliers like us,” Mr. West says. “I’ve been preaching to the public for years to prepare for a Pandemic Outbreak, as well as Earthquakes, Hurricanes and Fires. But normal human behavior dictates that people will wait until a disaster unfolds which is obviously way too late to acquire products. In the case of First Aid Global, we sold out of masks within 48 hours and due to heavy allocation by manufacturers and the government we’ve been unable to restock. We are still fulfilling orders for them and we have a good number of Pandemic Quick Kits, PPE kits and even Sickroom Quarantine packages still available.”

Mr. West’s other recommendations are to stock up on non-perishable food and water and medical supplies when panic subsides. Stock up on masks and gloves and protective clothing now so that you won’t have to panic buy when the next serious contagion goes worldwide.

“The difference between a thousand deaths and 100 million deaths is a precipice we will have to stand on someday,” Mr. West says. “We do not want to see it, but it will happen. Will it be Coronavirus where it begins? Probably not, but a virus will come along someday that mutates and pushes us over that edge, and the amount of chaos, fear and panic will be as thick as the air we breath.”

D.W. Rucker’s newly released “FORGOTTEN HALO” is a stirring saga depicting the struggle of mankind and malakim to overcome evil.


News Image

“FORGOTTEN HALO”: a thrilling narration of an elder brother race protecting the younger, fallen race from the darkness released upon the world by his own choosing. “FORGOTTEN HALO” is the creation of published author D.W. Rucker, a person drawn to an immense range of pursuits and who has lived in moments of acclaim and great struggle, but his hope is ever to strengthen and uplift those he can reach.

Rucker writes, “The angry wolf snarled, and the girl choked out an involuntary, terrified cry. Her back found the base of a tree, and she slid herself against it, trying to envelope herself in the strong wooden arms. The wolf pressed in as the child curled against the tree roots, one tiny foot raised to strike the beast again. The protector’s chest heaved with pride as he witnessed the courage of the overmatched child. Her other foot lay twisted on the ground, slowly becoming saturated with fluid from her mangled flesh. The fight was almost over, and the wolf innately understood the way it would end. The protector’s sword emerged. But he was still too far away. He would be too late. In the slow instants of time and space, he knew that this child was beyond his immense speed. The wolf was out of reach of the beautiful power of his upraised sword of light fire. Then a brilliant flash shattered the darkness.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, D.W. Rucker’s new book is a compelling tale of bravery and endurance in the face of hidden enemies.

With this book, Rucker desires to expose a forgotten brotherhood and enemy to today’s generation.

View a synopsis of “FORGOTTEN HALO” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “FORGOTTEN HALO” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Clinerion and Datametrix Partner to Deliver Real World Evidence (RWE) Insights from Real World Data (RWD) from Clinerion’s Global Hospital Network


Together, Clinerion and Datametrix will power Real World Evidence (RWE) research and bring insights on the realities of clinical practice and outcomes. They will enable Real World Data (RWD) research to investigate differential treatment outcomes in support of optimizing care protocols. This is acutely relevant for field-leading clinicians, hospital management and health policy makers.

Following recent FDA guidance calls for more use of RWD to balance the need for randomized controlled studies, biopharma customers can leverage RWE to inform development strategies, help make development decisions and limit the number of costly, full-scale prospective randomized controlled clinical studies. RWE research can also be used to investigate actual patient pathways and give useful insights to determine better, more effective approaches to care.

The synergy that follows from the combination of Clinerion’s RWD and Datametrix’s analytical capabilities supports pharmaceutical companies with optimization of clinical study design to meet strategic development needs while reflecting real patient populations, where the patients are. It helps pharma customers drive successful recruitment by being able to select sites that see a sufficiently large population of potentially eligible patients; and then also helping those sites directly identify the eligible patients. It also enables improvement in the accuracy of RWD comparative clinical studies by applying statistical models to define the RWD study end points. Clinerion can use their access to RWD data to recruit patient to RWD comparative arms.

“We believe that data collected in an organized and simple manner, then analyzed using the right analytical tools will empower pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to bring better drugs to market faster,” says Ahmed El Rhali, CEO of Datametrix. “Together, Datametrix and Clinerion can power Real World Evidence research and bring insights in the realities of clinical practice, which is acutely relevant for pharmaceutical industry, field-leading clinicians, hospital management, healthcare policy makers and, of course, patients.”

“Clinerion and Datametrix are acutely aware that clinical trials are becoming more complex.” says Léon Van Wouwe, Site & Patient Network Director, Clinerion. “And despite global technological advances, the time to get new treatment options to patients and the associated costs are going up. We need to reimagine how pharma sponsors, CROs, investigators and patients engage with another and collaborate to drive successful trial design & delivery. This partnership presents an ‘integrated clinical research offer,’ in which patients, investigators, research sites, pharma and other service providers integrate efforts to unite around one single purpose: to bring together all patients with all the available treatment options that may suit them, and so improve patient outcomes.”

About Clinerion

Clinerion accelerates clinical research and medical access to treatments for patients. We use proprietary technologies for analysis of patient data from our global network of partner hospitals. Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer radically improves the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trial recruitment by offering data-driven protocol optimization, site feasibility evaluation and real-time patient search and identification to match patients to treatments. Our technology solution provides real-world evidence analytics for medical access. Clinerion facilitates the participation of partner hospitals in leading-edge, industry-sponsored trials and time savings in patient recruitment. We create innovative and disruptive fit-for-purpose solutions which enable pharmaceutical companies to shorten patient recruitment and save costs by streamlining operations and leveraging strategic intelligence. Clinerion’s proprietary Big Data analytics technologies leverage real-time data from electronic health records which comply with international patient privacy and data security regulations.

Sunshine Coast Health Centre Announces DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) Opportunities for Clients in Drug Rehab, Alcohol Treatment, PTSD, and Trauma Therapy


drug rehab, alcohol treatment, PTSD, trauma BC, Vancouver

Our constant struggle it to offer the latest, best-in-class treatment options for our clients battling drugs, alcohol, trauma, and/or PTSD,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer.

Sunshine Coast Health Centre (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/), a top-rated program in British Columbia for drug rehab, alcohol treatment, trauma and PTSD therapy and other issues, is excited to announce new DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) options. DBT uses four teachable skill sets (mindfulness, interpersonal, emotion-regulation, and distress tolerance) to assist clients facing addiction and/or trauma issues.

“Our constant struggle it to offer the latest, best-in-class treatment options for our clients battling drugs, alcohol, trauma, and/or PTSD,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “DBT therapy is an exciting and innovative addition to our options at Powell River, BC.”

Persons interested in the treatment program should visit the website and visit the “about” tab at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/about-us/. There, they can read about the Centre’s treatment philosophy. Even more importantly, any person who may be interested in how DBT therapy might help them is urged to click up to the ‘contact’ button and reach out for a private, confidential information session. Another option is to read the information specific pages about drug rehab (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/drug-rehab/) or alcohol treatment (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/alcohol-treatment/).

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT) AS A TREATMENT OPTION

Here is background on this release. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was developed by an American Psychologist, Marsha M. Linehan, and incorporates strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Zen Principles, and Behavioral Sciences (Austin & Boyd, 2015). At Sunshine Coast Health Centre, the focus is to help clients achieve general skills by employing two treatment modes delivered by multidisciplinary clinicians: skills training and post-session coaching. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the selected skills, flexibility has been built into the program to allow focus on the clients’ individual needs. At any time, skills can be added or dropped from the program based on a partnered approach, clinician recommendation, and client feedback. The skills group meets once weekly for a 2-hour skills training workshop. Three weekly 1-hour coaching follow-ups are scheduled afterwards to assess understanding and review further questions or concerns related to the selected skill. Further individual treatment is facilitated through the collaboration of the psychiatrist, other supporting practitioners, and the client’s primary counsellor. The overall goal is to provide clients with the general tools needed to help them identify and make changes to thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that cause them distress in their everyday lives.

ABOUT SUNSHINE COAST HEALTH CENTRE

Sunshine Coast Health Centre (http://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca) is a 47-bed drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility for men, with 8 separately-located private residences for women, that officially opened on the 15th of March 2004.

The Centre offers both drug rehabilitation and alcohol treatment near Vancouver, BC, but serving patients across Canada, particularly British Columbia and Alberta and cities such as Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. Sunshine Coast Health Centre uses a form of drug rehabilitation based on the research of Viktor Frankl and methodology of Paul T.P. Wong, namely ‘Meaning ­Centered Therapy’.

The Word of God—Preserved” profoundly tackles the essence of God’s Word despite its many versions


News Image

“The Bible: The Word of God—Preserved: A Short Bibliographic Study”: a potent guide on understanding the realness of the Holy Writ and which biblical perspective to refer to that can greatly aid in one’s spiritual growth. “The Bible: The Word of God—Preserved: A Short Bibliographic Study” is the creation of published author Charles T. Kabala.

Kabala shares, “Christians universally agree that the Bible is the word of God—in the ‘original manuscripts.’ That these manuscripts have long since disappeared is the source of some discord among the Christian community, insomuch as many people question the integrity of the Bibles we now have today. This book was written to affirm that God has providentially preserved his words—from inspiration to publication and distribution all the way to your local bookstore. Short enough to be read in one evening, this book will give you a biblical perspective of why there are so many Bible versions to choose from—and what to look for when choosing one.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Charles T. Kabala’s new book leads readers to be perceptive of their nourishment in faith by heartily studying the Word of God and choosing the perfect version to regard.

This book desires to be informative enough to allow readers to discern between a variety of Bible versions and which one to use in their spiritual walk in life.

View the synopsis of “The Bible: The Word of God—Preserved: A Short Bibliographic Study” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “The Bible: The Word of God—Preserved: A Short Bibliographic Study” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
