First Alzheimer’s Disease Gene Therapy Human Study Provided by Maximum Life Foundation, Offers 10 Free Therapies for Qualifying Patients

Leave a comment


MaxLife Foundation Offers Free Gene Therapy for 10 Patients

“If successful, this treatment could potentially be used on other diseases such as Parkinson’s and ALS.”


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)

Cure Now ━ Instead of Palliative Care

According to the Alzheimer’s Association:


  •     Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States.

  •     More than 16 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementia.

  •     These caregivers provided an estimated 18.5 billion hours of care valued at nearly $234 billion.

  •     Between 2000 and 2017 deaths from heart disease have decreased 9% while deaths from Alzheimer’s have increased 145%.

  •     1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.


Alzheimer’s costs Americans $277 billion a year – and rising. Sharp increases in Alzheimer’s disease cases, deaths and costs are stressing the U.S. healthcare system and caregivers. About 5.7 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. To date, no one has survived it.

Improvements of AD symptoms and the recovery of normal brain functions have been demonstrated in-vivo in mouse experiments, and in-vitro in human cell experiments through the rejuvenation of microglia (the brain’s first line of defense against infection) and neurons as well as stimulating mitochondrial function using the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) protein.

One human patient received a lower dose therapy in August 2018 with no adverse side effects. To date, the patient’s disease has not progressed. MaxLife hopes to see symptom reversals in the next patients.

“If we can prove a benefit to patients that have no other option now, we can potentially treat Alzheimer’s Disease in people in early to mid-stage Alzheimer’s, finally creating effective medicine at the cellular level,” states Kekich. “If successful, this treatment could potentially be used on other diseases such as Parkinson’s and ALS.”

The unique difference is developing treatments against the cellular degeneration caused by aging as the root cause of most major diseases. Studies have proven aging is the leading risk factor for many life-threatening diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

With a world class Scientific Advisory Board, MaxLife is ready to push forward into practical solutions. A gene therapy facilitator, Integrated Health Systems plans to treat other adult aging-related diseases with no previous cure such as Sarcopenia, Atherosclerosis, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)… and even aging itself with gene therapies.

“This technology could halt many of the big age associated killers in industrialized countries’” states Kekich. “Compassionate care helps patients with no other option to get access to experimental therapies that may benefit both themselves and society as a whole.”

MaxLife also seeks grants and donations for human gene therapy studies for atherosclerosis, sarcopenia and chronic kidney disease as well as for human aging. The protocols have already been developed. Please Click Here and scroll to the bottom of the page to see how to donate.

Taxback International Chief Innovation Officer, Eamon Clune says:

“My areas of expertise are machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation, so seeing this evolution and further progression into digitalisation is very exciting.

Novi Bridal Expo, Gardner White Furniture team up for first-ever Grooms Room

Leave a comment


Bride and Groom

He Watches Football… She Watches Fashion

Today’s groom now is taking a more active role in planning their wedding and his presence brings more buying power to vendors.


NOVI, Mich. (PRWEB)

With holiday engagements on the rise, many brides-to-be start off the new year in search of the right bridal show to kickstart wedding plans. The challenge? Getting the groom to attend with her.

The Novi Bridal Expo and Gardner-White Furniture have partnered to provide a solution. The Gardner-White Grooms Room will offer a separate draped-off room during the expo for grooms to watch a sports game in comfortable recliners with cold beverages.

This way everyone gets what they want.

Kerry Sullivan, promoter of the Novi Bridal Expo in Novi, Michigan, has long recognized the importance of the grooms’ presence at bridal events. “Today’s groom now is taking a more active role in planning their wedding and his presence brings more buying power to vendors. This also means more on-the-spot business.”

The bridal expo offers couples the chance to meet with an abundance of wedding vendors as they plan their nuptials. This includes gowns and tuxedos, food tastings, photo booths, wedding venues, DJs, photographers, videographers, florists to name a few.

But does he really want to sit through a bridal fashion show?

The Novi Bridal Expo has scheduled three completely different runway fashion shows each day. This allows the bride to view the latest bridal designs while her fiancé can retreat to the Gardner-White Grooms Room, which will offer respite and, more importantly, design ideas for the couple’s household.

Megan Faraj, Advertising Administrative Assistant at Gardner-White, plans to deck the grooms room as the ultimate man cave destination. “We are thrilled to be a part of this year’s Novi Bridal Expo! As these couples are preparing for their big day, we are excited to bring some relaxation and comfort in the Gardner-White Grooms Room.”

The Novi Bridal Expo is Jan. 4 and 5 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

Bride + Groom Publications, the creation of former Metro Detroit resident Kerry Sullivan. first appeared in 1992 as a bridal workbook/magazine. Bridal shows soon were added.

Her workbook has since evolved into Brides Pub, the popular online interactive bridal planner, social network and wedding resource. Her company now produces Michigan’s largest attended two-day bridal expo, which takes place at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.

Gardner-White Furniture has been a Michigan owned-and-operated furniture company since 1912. Gardner-White’s mission is to offer value-conscious consumers with excellent style and service. Gardner-White has expanded and innovated significantly over the past six years. In 2013, Gardner-White became the first furniture company in the region to offer same-day delivery to its customers. More recently, Gardner-White has expanded, opening new retail locations in Novi and Ann Arbor to reach more of the Southeast Michigan community.

Top Factors That Significantly Increase Car Insurance Cost

Leave a comment


News Image

“Car’s age, model and value will have a deep impact on your insurance rates”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the main factors that cause car insurance premiums to go extremely high.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/factors-that-can-make-car-insurance-expensive/

When determining rates, insurance companies thoroughly analyze the client’s vehicles. Besides engine performance and safety rating, there are other elements that will influence the costs. These are:


  • The vehicle’s type and exact model. Driving an expensive car like a sports car, muscle car, or a top of the line limousine will make its owner pay more expensive premiums. Insurance companies take a higher financial risk when they insure an expensive car and they try to limit the potential losses caused by a claim.

  • Car’s age. New cars are more expensive to insure, no matter what type they are. Usually, the value of a car can depreciate with up to 60% from the moment it leaves the dealership. Purchasing a slightly used car will help drivers get better rates.

  • Driving record. A clean driving record will help the driver get better rates. On the other hand, a driving record filled with unpaid speeding tickets, at-fault accidents, and even DUI accidents, will make rates really pricy, and in some cases, the insurance company can cancel coverage.

  • Distance from the workplace. Insurance companies ask drivers if they use the vehicle to reach their workplace and how far is the workplace from home. Expect to pay more if the workplace is far from home. Insurers consider that persons that work far from home, will spend plenty of time on the road while being tired, and thus the risk of causing an accident significantly increases.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website.

NeoTract Designates Dr. T. Casey McCullough as UroLift® Center of Excellence

Leave a comment


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Casey McCullough as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson,


PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Dr. T. Casey McCullough, MD Advanced Urology in Johns Creek, GA., has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. McCullough has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Casey McCullough as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, long-term relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated, the Interventional Urology Business Unit is dedicated to developing innovative, minimally invasive and clinically effective devices that address unmet needs in the field of urology. Our initial focus is on improving the standard of care for patients with BPH using the UroLift System, a minimally invasive permanent implant system that treats symptoms while preserving normal sexual function*1,2.
