Cardone Ventures

“We’ll be able to tackle the opioid epidemic”

CAMAS, Wash. (PRWEB)
October 30, 2019

In order to advance the influence of integrated medicine into the healthcare space, Advanced Medical Integration (AMI) and Cardone Ventures (CV) entered into a formal business relationship that leverages the combined network of Advanced Medical Integration, Doctors Vendors Network (DVN), and Azon, LLC with Cardone Ventures (a Cardone Capital company).

Advanced Medical Integration, http://www.amidoctors.com, a Clearwater, Florida based corporation, founded by Michael Carberry, DC and Coleen Carberry, PT, is the nation’s leading consulting group for establishing holistic, philosophically-based medical integration, whether new or existing to medical integration. AMI provides systems and processes to help develop practices to a new standard in holistic medical services. They provide practitioners a proven path to make positive changes by having a principled, multi-disciplinary team under one roof, providing the best possible care for patients. AMI believes that societal healthcare trends, and the lack of responsible, holistic practitioners, have led to the current opioid epidemic in the United States.

“Due to the challenges facing health care, practices, and health care business, we need strategic partnerships aligned with helping us leverage our network of chiropractors, MDs and other licensed providers to show them how to not only survive, but to thrive in practice,” said Carberry. “We feel that partnering with Cardone Ventures through the alignment of their vast knowledge, expertise and services, we’ll be able to tackle the opioid epidemic and help empower our network to help patients take back their choices in healthcare.”

Cardone Ventures, a Vancouver, Washington, based corporation was founded by Grant Cardone, Co-Founder and Chairman, and Brandon Dawson, Co-Founder, CEO and Managing Partner, in order to guide, advise and provide the tools to transform and scale independently-owned businesses. The company has developed a focused approach designed to evaluate business maturity by enabling a business owner to diagnose, design/redesign, and transform their organization to achieve and sustain performance excellence through transformational growth from a systems perspective. Cardone Ventures delivers business advisory services in the areas of strategic management that include expansion planning and operations, sales and marketing execution, financial modeling and reporting, and people development and alignment.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to work with an elite group of healthcare providers such as Advanced Medical Integration,” says Cardone. “Their dedication to providing disruptive and proven solutions to the current opioid epidemic is a mission we’re fully aligned with and we plan on working side-by-side with them as they go into battle.”

“It’s our goal to align with independent practitioners striving to make a difference for their patients through holistic patient care,” says Dawson. “At Cardone Ventures, we want to innovate alongside the team at AMI in order to elevate their network and dominate the market, while helping business owners and their staff achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals through the business.”

Businesses can work directly with Cardone Ventures to develop their personalized strategic business strategy. The strategic business strategy establishes a baseline assessment of the business gaps and then develops a plan for the business’s success. If a business owner would like to experience their business from a ​360⁰ perspective while working directly with Grant Cardone and Brandon Dawson, there’s an upcoming opportunity December 7-8, 2019 at the 10X360 event in Miami, Florida.

Michael DeLeon, Founder and CEO of Steered Straight, is on a mission to help kids avoid vaping and other drugs.

“We are in the worst public social health crisis America has ever seen. With vaping/JUULing and a culture that literally grew up with pills marketed as the solution for every human ailment, the threat to our youth is greater than ever.”

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (PRWEB)
October 30, 2019

Vaping has become a cross-country epidemic, with over 1,500 reported counts of vape-related illnesses and 34 vape-induced deaths [1]. The cruel tragedy of this epidemic is that most of the victims of vaping related illnesses involve young adults around age 23 and most of the vaping related deaths are adults around age 45–but most of the long-term illnesses and death will manifest in children under 18 years old. In a recent federal survey, researchers found that more than 25 percent of U.S. high school students have used an e-cigarette in the past 30 days [2]. Michael DeLeon, the number one booked school speaker on drug related issues and Founder/President of Steered Straight, has surveyed more than 15,000 middle and high school students already this school year and has found that number is more than double.

When companies like Juul began marketing to pre-adolescents and teens with misleading messages pertaining to the safety of vaping, dependency and ingredients, their revenue spiked and sent the CDC, parents and teachers into a panic. “These companies are marketing these products to children and it’s absolutely unacceptable. We need to speak up and put an end to this dangerous fad,” said DeLeon.

Unfortunately, the anti-tobacco and anti-smoking awareness efforts are far less abundant than e-cigs and tobacco campaigns. In an effort to stop the vaping giant Juul from marketing to children, the Center for Environmental Health recently released a legally binding agreement preventing Juul from:

• 
  Advertising at sporting events or concerts that allow people under the age 21.
• Appearing at schools.
• Using models in their ads that are under the age of 28 [3].

Although these are promising steps in the right direction, a new product, Snus, was recently cleared by the FDA to be marketed with the verbiage “instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis [4].” Could this be the second wave of the youth smoking epidemic?

DeLeon believes so. “However people want to look at SNUS—either as an alternative to smoking or as an origination to nicotine use–it’s still carcinogenic to humans. My main focus is on helping kids and young adults steer clear of nicotine. The more we paint a reduced perception of harm, the more we increase adolescent use of these products.”

The FDA wants to make a clear distinction that the modified risk claim was approved–snus are not FDA approved. But DeLeon said the distinction may get lost in the advertising copy.

“I saw the vaping epidemic happen years before it did—and snus could be the next big thing with this modified messaging. We need to educate kids now before any more deaths happen in this country from nicotine,” said DeLeon.

In addition to snus, the bans on e-cigarette flavors in various states across the country and done voluntarily to some extent by the industry leader, JUUL, will not help stem youth use. In fact, it will increase faster than ever. There are countless companies marketing and selling counterfeit flavors all over this country and online. There is a complete industry selling flavors separately which won’t fall under bans. There is a burgeoning black market that is stepping up faster than ever since the scattered bans. The worst increase of availability will come from the marijuana industry. This is a huge market that is not regulated at all by our federal government.

DeLeon delivers a hard-hitting educational program, “Vaping Me Crazy,” to youth, families, and communities across the country. Currently, Michael and his team are focusing his awareness efforts on educating parents and teachers.

“We are in the worst public social health crisis America has ever seen,” DeLeon notes. “With vaping/JUULing and a culture that literally grew up with pills marketed as the solution for every human ailment, the threat to our youth is greater than ever.”

About Michael DeLeon

Michael DeLeon has become the #1 School Presenter in America, visiting 616 schools to date in 40 states in 2018 alone. Michael is the leading subject matter expert on vaping and current youth drug trends. He is the Founder and CEO of Steered Straight, a non-profit organization providing educational programs and materials to youth, families, and communities across the country and around the world. He is a thought leader in the addiction and substance abuse community and is an advocate for social and public health change, parent/teacher education, and is spearheading multiple anti-vape campaigns and awareness programs.

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Invisalign® Clear Braces to San Jose, CA

The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB)
November 01, 2019

Dr. Amir HagShenas of Silicon Valley Smile Solutions welcomes adolescents and adults correct crooked smiles with Invisalign® clear aligners. For many individuals seeking straighter teeth, clear braces offer an ideal way to discreetly receive orthodontic treatment. At Silicon Valley Smile Solutions, Dr. HagShenas and his team strive to offer the most advanced orthodontic solutions, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Having properly aligned, more aesthetically pleasing teeth is important to many. Studies show that 81 percent of individuals feel as if their smile looks unattractive in images. Those who choose to straighten crooked teeth with an orthodontic treatment such as clear braces report greatly improved confidence.

Dr. HagShenas’ Invisalign patients can expect to wear customized clear aligners over their teeth for 20 to 22 hours per day. The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth. About every two weeks, patients remove their current aligner to replace it with a new one. By the end of the treatment, their teeth have shifted into the desired straightened position.

Typically, Invisalign achieves results faster and more comfortably than traditional bracketed braces. Additionally, patients can remove the aligners to eat and perform oral hygiene routines. Teenagers and adults, especially professionals and athletes, appreciate the low-profile of clear braces. Although retainers must be worn after undergoing Invisalign treatment, the use of retainers is relegated to evenings and overnight.

Dr. HagShenas strives to provide the highest level of care for his San Jose patients in every procedure. In addition to Invisalign, Dr. HagShenas provides other cutting-edge treatments including dental implants and full arch dental implant treatments.

Those in San Jose, CA interested in finding out if Invisalign is right for their needs are invited to make a consultative appointment with Dr. HagShenas by calling 408-377-5134 or visiting http://www.svsmilesolutions.com.

Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari Customize Oral Surgery in West Hartford, CT

The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives.

West Hartford, CT (PRWEB)
November 01, 2019

Patients in need of advanced or complex oral surgery in West Hartford, CT and surrounding areas can receive customized treatments from Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari of JawFixers. Full mouth reconstruction is often recommended when patients require multiple treatments or advanced oral surgery, such as dental implant treatment, to restore function to their mouth. As oral surgeons, Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari offer leading care backed by years of education and experience paired with cutting-edge technology.

“The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives, especially when you are able to do something you feel only you can do,” says Dr. Ansari. “That goes for complex cases, which are often rare circumstances. You take all your knowledge and put it together to offer the patient truly unique treatment. When that succeeds, that is what being an oral surgeon is all about.”

Full mouth reconstruction is a treatment plan used in oral surgery that combines multiple oral and maxillofacial procedures together to produce a desired outcome. At JawFixers, that treatment plan is uniquely designed for each patient after a comprehensive consultation and exam. This team utilizes advanced technology, modern dental techniques and sedation dentistry to give patients a plan that targets their concerns specifically. Common treatments used in full mouth reconstruction oral surgery include:

• Dental implants
• Bone grafts and sinus lifts
• Corrective jaw surgery
• Tooth extractions
• Guided tissue regeneration

Patients who need complex oral surgery often experience tooth loss, jaw pain, facial trauma, extensive tooth decay, and widespread bone loss throughout their jaw. These factors are all taken into consideration when creating a full mouth reconstruction treatment plan. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari use i-CAT® 3D cone beam CT imaging to capture detailed images of a patient’s mouth in order to fully understand the extent of the patient’s needs. When a patient requires dental implants, they use X-Guide™, a guided dental implant technology that assists the oral surgeons in placing the implant in the most accurate location of the jaw for long-lasting stability. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari also care about patient comfort, offering sedation dentistry to help ease anxiety and block sensations of pain.

Once completed, full mouth reconstruction can restore a patient’s ability to speak, eat, breathe and resume normal oral function without pain or struggle. For those who have experienced severe oral and facial trauma as a result of an accident, the treatments can restore a sense of normalcy to their lives. Treatments such as dental implants can often serve multiple purposes, like preventing further bone loss, improving confidence and allowing patients to eat a wide variety of food again.

Those interested in learning more about full mouth reconstruction, or who would like a customized treatment plan for their oral surgery needs, are invited to contact JawFixers by calling 860-649-2272 for their Manchester, CT office or 860-232-4606 for their West Hartford, CT location. Appointments can also be made on the website, http://www.jawfixers.com.

About the Oral Surgeons

The board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons at JawFixers are skilled specialists offering leading-edge and minimally invasive care at their two practice locations in Manchester, CT and West Hartford, CT. With over 40 years of experience, Dr. Joel Rosenlicht is an esteemed author and lecturer and has developed techniques to further his field. Dr. Ryaz Ansari brings a passion for technology and oral surgery with extensive experience in implant therapy and dentoalveolar surgery. Using advanced imaging, Yomi® robotic-assisted technology and EXPAREL® for opioid-free pain management, this team strives to provide the best care and experience possible for their patients.

Rosenlicht and Ansari or their services, visit http://www.jawfixers.com or call 860-649-2272 for their Manchester, CT office or 860-232-4606 for their West Hartford, CT practice.
