Santos Ramirez’s newly released “My Born Again Experience” shares the author journey of discovering the Lord’s enlightening impact in his life


News Image

“My Born Again Experience”: a compelling account that tells of the author’s moment of discerning God in his life that ushered blessedness in his soul. “My Born Again Experience” is the creation of published author Santos Ramirez, an ordained minister and an accomplished licensed chemical dependency counselor.

Ramirez shares, “‘Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again”’ (John 3:3, NIV). ‘My Born Again Experience’ was written as a witness that God is truly who he says he is and can do exactly what he says he can do. The best decision I ever made was to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and to acknowledge and repent my sins. When I made that decision, he placed his Spirit in me, and my spiritual eyes were opened immediately. I am convinced that without God’s intervention in my life, my life would have expired many years ago. I once was lost, but now I’m found; I was blind but now I see. I truly believe God wants us all to know that he loves us and is seeking to have an intimate relationship with us. He wants us to discover and experience what his kingdom is like. One cannot experience nor understand his kingdom with their carnal way of thinking because the person without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness and cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned only through the Spirit. My life was never the same after my encounter with God. It has been an amazing journey full of supernatural events and unforgettable memories. Over the years, I had the opportunity to share with others some of my experiences with God, and they would tell me to write a book about it because they were blessed by it. I hope and pray the words in this book will penetrate the readers’ hearts, and they will be blessed as well. May the Lord receive all the glory and praise for the things he has done and the things he is going to do regarding this book.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Santos Ramirez’s new book exudes with eagerness to testify to God’s benevolence that enriches those who unceasingly believe in him throughout their lives.

This book treasures an exemplary life that is consecrated by the Lord to become an efficacious testament to his love and mercy for all to ponder.

SEOblog.com Announces Best SEO Companies in Florida in 2019


SEOblog.com, a website dedicated to providing the latest SEO news, tips and best practices and helping business owners connect with SEO experts, has released its exclusive 2019 ratings naming the best SEO companies in Florida.

SEOblog.com ranked SEO service providers in four Florida cities: Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa. SEOblog analysts determined the 10 best SEO companies in those four Florida cities based on dozens of key quantitative and qualitative factors. SEOblog industry experts examined each digital marketing agency’s website, industry experience, market presence, client list, portfolio, expert certifications and authorship among other factors in its ranking system.

SEOblog has provided a broad view of companies in a particular city or focus area on various directory pages to help business owners find the expert help they need to grow. This was a new, free offering added by SEOblog earlier this year.

Florida has many of the nation’s top SEO service providers that provide a very competitive digital marketing landscape.

“We have seen many SEO companies come and go in the Orlando market since we started in 2011,” said Jennifer Wheeler, the marketing and sales director for Get The Clicks. “Agencies have migrated away from offering this service while we’ve rolled with the punches Google has thrown over time. Our competition is now larger agencies, not local to Orlando, and single operators working out of their homes. These trends have allowed us to thrive by offering a personalized, local experience for both business owners who want to grow and marketing agencies looking for white-label SEO services.”

SEOblog.com rankings are updated regularly as the market shifts and new players emerge. SEOblog.com has published more than 1,500 agency listings with more added every day. There is no fee to participate, and the website welcomes all qualified agencies to apply.

SEOblog leaders’ lists below recognize the best SEO companies in Florida:

R3 Stem Cell Now Teaching PRP Facelift at Its Regenerative Aesthetics Training Course


https://www.prweb.com/

Stem Cell and PRP Facelift Training

These procedures are the future of aesthetics. PRP therapy in conjunction with stem cells and exosomes work exceptionally well with thread lifting for optimal outcomes. But they’re hard to do, so hands on training is critical!

R3 Stem Cell is now including the PRP facelift procedure at its regenerative aesthetics training course November 15-16, 2019 in Scottsdale, AZ. The aesthetics training is hands on with real patients, real stem cell biologics, and expert trainers to walk providers through the techniques.

Most aesthetics courses include few models and minimal hands on training. R3 Stem Cell Training understands that facial rejuvenation procedures are best learned with repetition on real patients under expert trainer supervision. Only real biologics are used, including PRP, stem cell and exosomes along with PDO thread lifts.

In conjunction with stem cell and exosome therapy, facial rejuvenation is a highly effective procedure where hands on training is exceptionally helpful. Real patients are evaluated so providers can understand the decision making process for whether to incorporate fillers, thread lifts, micro needling or facial injections for the treatments. The biologics decision will also be taught, since it’s not a straightforward procedure.

PRP therapy, which is short for platelet rich plasma therapy, is not as straightforward as most providers think. At the R3 training, providers will learn the difference between a single versus double spin, when to use platelet poor versus rich plasma, and how to activate the biologic as well for the best outcome. In addition, the attendees will learn where to inject on the face, needle size, dilution ratios, how to numb appropriately and all about pricing.

Said R3 CEO David Greene, MD, MBA, “These procedures are the future of aesthetics. PRP therapy in conjunction with stem cells and exosomes work exceptionally well with thread lifting for optimal outcomes. But they’re hard to do, so hands on training is critical!”

The regenerative aesthetics and PRP Facelift training fills up fast, so providers interested should visit https://stemcelltrainingcourse.org/aesthetics or call (844) GET-STEM quickly.

Dr. Brock Pumphrey Offers LANAP and LAPIP Laser Procedures to Treat Gum Disease Around Teeth and Implants


https://www.prweb.com/

Dr. Brock Pumphrey

With the LANAP and LAPIP protocols, we are able to address the very real and serious problem of gum disease while also keeping our patients comfortable due to their minimally invasive nature.

Dr. Brock Pumphrey of Atlanta Center for Advanced Periodontics, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry is now certified in the LANAP and LAPIP protocols. Dr. Pumphrey is on the leading edge of periodontics, treating patients with a minimally invasive laser treatment with favorable and predictable results to save their teeth and implants and help regrow bone lost to periodontitis peri-implantitis.

“Our top priority is your dental health and smile, and part of that commitment includes incorporating state of the art technology and cutting edge techniques to provide the best results possible for our patients,” said Dr. Pumphrey. “With the LANAP and LAPIP protocols, we are able to address the very real and serious problem of gum disease while also keeping our patients comfortable due to their minimally invasive nature.”

The LANAP protocol can be performed in as little as one treatment session, and is safe to use on patients with health concerns such as diabetes, heart disease, and hemophilia, without discontinuing medication. It is the only scientifically proven laser gum disease treatment FDA cleared to regenerate the bone and tissues lost to gum disease.

The LAPIP protocol is a first line treatment approach for failing implants or peri-implantitis as it addresses the underlying causes affecting the health of both the bone and the gum tissue around the implant. A fiber the width of 3 human hairs is inserted between the implant and the gum. Laser energy kills bacteria, vaporizes cement, and stimulates stems cells found in your bone to reduce the bacterial infection and promote healing.

Gum disease is a chronic bacterial infection that rarely has any symptoms in its early stages. Despite the lack of symptoms or pain, the disease can still cause serious damage to your mouth, leading to loss of teeth, which has been tied to decreased lifespan. Additionally, several other serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease and diabetes have suggested links to gum disease.

For information on the LANAP and LAPIP gum disease treatments, call Atlanta Center for Advanced Periodontics, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry at (404) 982-4797 for an appointment.

After school, Dr. Pumphrey worked in the Buckhead area for over a year before pursuing interest in the Midtown area with Dr. Shuster. Dr. Shuster gave Dr. Pumphrey a great opportunity to grow and spread his knowledge and practice philosophy.
