The combined therapeutic effect of biofeedback and relaxation together is often greater than the effect of either intervention alone.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
May 26, 2020

In an ongoing webinar series presented by Thought Technology Ltd., experts from various fields discuss how they are using biofeedback in their practices. Today’s mental health practitioners have many tools at their disposal to best address the individual needs of their clients. In an upcoming webinar, Dr. Donald Moss will discuss adjunctive therapies that can be used in conjunction with biofeedback.

Adjunctive therapies are interventions that combine well with biofeedback and neurofeedback training and augment the therapeutic effect of the biofeedback and neurofeedback. The combined therapeutic effect of biofeedback and relaxation together is often greater than the effect of either intervention alone. Regular home practice of relaxation skills improves basal autonomic nervous system regulation and reduces the onset of problematic symptoms. This Webinar introduces six adjunctive therapies, including progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, paced diaphragmatic breathing, guided imagery, meditation, and mindfulness. Two of them will be demonstrated, and brief clinical vignettes will illustrate the use of the adjunctive techniques. Each of these skill sets can be administered on its own, with therapeutic effect, or provided in combination with biofeedback as a treatment package.

We’re excited to bring our premium dispensary experience to more patients in southwest Florida as we continue to grow and create more employment across the state, when jobs are needed more than ever

SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)
May 25, 2020

AltMed Florida, one of the fastest growing MMTCs in the state (source: OMMU), continues its statewide expansion with a three-day, Memorial Day Opening, starting Monday May 25 for its newest MÜV™ Medical Cannabis Dispensary at 28245 South Tamiami Trail in Bonita Springs.

During the opening, staggered over three-days for crowd mitigation, all licensed Florida medical cannabis patients will receive a one-time use only, one per patient, 25 percent off their entire first purchase (see opening specials here). Patients are also encouraged to order at muvfl.com for express pickup or delivery to help reduce heavy traffic.

With its newest location on the busy Tamiami Trail/Hwy-41, just north of Naples, AltMed Florida now has 21 MÜV Dispensaries and is on pace to open 32 by year-end, and 40 by Q2, 2021.

“In our tireless efforts to serve Floridians in all parts of our home state, we’re excited to bring our premium dispensary experience to more patients in southwest Florida as we continue to grow and create more employment across the state, when jobs are needed more than ever,” said AltMed Director of Corporate Affairs Todd Beckwith.

Deemed an essential service during the pandemic, AltMed Florida has been able to expand its workforce to over 500 employees with additional teams coming onboard at each of its 10 new dispensaries this year. With higher demand for products from 21 total dispensaries, AltMed has also generated additional construction employment and staffing with the expansion of its 200,000-square-foot cultivation facility in Apollo Beach.

The newest state-of-the-art MÜV™ Bonita Springs dispensary will provide award-winning products to medical cannabis patients in nearby Naples and Bonita Beach – along with those residing in Lee County and nearby Collier County.

The Bonita Springs MÜV Dispensary will offer an extensive selection of award-winning products including flower, pre-rolls, a wide range of vaporizer pens, metered dose inhalers, topicals, oral sprays, patent-pending encapsulation formulations in its Tinctures, 72-Hour Transdermal patches and transdermal gels. MÜV is also has one of the widest selections of concentrates for patients’ needing macro-dosing options.

“Our dispensaries set the standard for quality products, service and overall patient experience and we’re excited to offer our premium MÜV medical cannabis brand to Bonita Springs patients,” said AltMed Florida CEO John Tipton.

Like AltMed Florida’s 20 other locations (Apollo Beach, Clearwater, Deerfield Beach, Fort Myers, Gainesville, Jacksonville/San Marco, Jacksonville Beach, Lady Lake, Lakeland, Longwood/Orlando, Lutz, North Port, Downtown Orlando, Ormond Beach, Pensacola, Sebastian, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Tampa and Wellington/West Palm), the new Bonita Springs MÜV Dispensary stands out because it’s designed as a premium experience – think Apple Store, with a modern open-concept design and expert staff with extensive training.

The MÜV brand already has a wide following in other legal medical cannabis markets, including Arizona, where it has won five Best of Arizona medical cannabis awards. MÜV products are sold exclusively in Florida at MÜV dispensaries because, unlike other states, Florida does not allow wholesale of product between license holders – only products that license holders make themselves can be sold in their dispensaries.

AltMed Florida is on pace to open 40 MÜV Medical Cannabis Dispensaries across the state, all supplied by its 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art cultivation facility.

T P Reserve Wine

“It’s a bit of Americana, a light-hearted acknowledgement of the times we’re living through, something fun and playful,” says winemaker Grant Long Jr.

NAPA, Calif (PRWEB)
May 23, 2020

Winemaker Grant Long Jr. is introducing three Toilet Paper Reserve wines. “These are wines of the moment. We wanted to present something whimsical and delicious in these complicated times,” he said, in announcing the new wines. The wines are 2019 Chardonnay ($24.99), 2018 Red Wine Blend ($34.99) and 2018 Grenache ($24.99). The Chardonnay and Red Wine Blend are sourced in the Napa Valley; the Grenache comes from the El Dorado foothills.

Long, the owner and winemaker for Aonair, Reverie and Misc. Wines, among others, conceived the idea for a line of wines to put a smile on people’s faces. “It’s a bit of Americana, a light-hearted acknowledgement of the times we’re living through, something fun and playful,” he explains. The label, designed by the winery’s Creative Director, Clara Meinen, features a stylistic unspooling roll of toilet paper; the cork is custom-branded, with a top-down view of a toilet paper roll. “It’s an iconic image rendered in an anthem of white with a touch of elegance,” Meinen says.

Long and his wife Megan Long are considered one of Napa Valley’s younger first-generation winery owners and entrepreneurs. “Because of my connections for sourcing my other wines in Napa Valley and the El Dorado foothills, I secured superb fruit and was able to pack a lot of value into these wines,” he adds. “We wanted to offer a flavorful and enjoyable wine at an affordable price,” he explained.

“Coming up with the T.P. Reserve wines was a way for my winery team and I to pivot and show our flexibility. We had to adapt and be creative and still be respectful of the climate,” he said. Long is proud that he was able to keep all of his winery employees employed, rather than having to furlough or let anyone go, as many wineries have had to do recently. “If these wines offer some levity in a stressful time, then we will have done our job,” he continued.

Partial proceeds from the sale of the T.P. Reserve wines will be donated to Napa Valley Food Bank which is currently distributing boxed groceries by drive-through daily to families in need. Its parent organization, Community Action of Napa Valley, was founded in 1965 and its programs also include Head Start, Clinic Ole, Legal Aide, The Hispanic Network and others. Community Action’s mission is to provide basic needs – food and shelter – along with other programs to support people become self-sufficient.

The 2018 Red Wine Blend combines fruit from vineyards in the Coombsville, Atlas Peak, Calistoga, and Oak Knoll sub-appellations of Napa Valley. The wine has a dark ruby appearance with rich aromas and flavors of plum and savory herbs and notes of blackberry cordial, black currants, cedar box, and sage. It is an elegant wine with velvety tannins and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot.

The 2019 Chardonnay, sourced from multiple clones of Chardonnay grown in the Napa Valley, has a beautiful golden, sunflower-yellow appearance with aromas of pineapple, lychee, crème brûlée, hazelnut and brioche. The palate offers bright, delicious notes of golden apple and pear, followed by citrus notes of lemon curd and Cara Cara orange that offer the perfect amount of acidity.

The 2018 Grenache, a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, grown in the El Dorado foothills, has a brilliant ruby color with aromas of cranberries, rhubarb and violet. On the palate there are flavors of blueberry, Bing cherries and wild strawberry.

T. P. Reserve wines may be purchased online and shortly at retail outlets around the country.

In addition to the website, you can follow T.P. Reserve wines online on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Black patients who have died from COVID-19 after being denied a test

DETROIT (PRWEB)
May 23, 2020

Federal data has already confirmed that most of the deadly victims of COVID-19 in the United States are African American. However, many news reports are failing to report that many of those who have died from the virus were also denied tests. In fact, some were denied a test multiple times.

A new song by an artist that calls himself The Undiscovered Artist brings light to this matter in his song called “The Rona Song” which speaks about patients being sent home to die.The song was written to create awareness and also to honor the following six people who all needlessly died from the virus:

#1 – Bassey Offiong: a 25-year old Nigerian American college student at Western Michigan University who died from the virus just a few weeks before his graduation. Detroit News reports that he was denied a test multiple times.

#2 – Gary Fowler: a 56-year old from Detroit who died at home from the virus. USA Today reports that he literally “begged” for a test, but was rejected on multiple occasions.

#3 – Rana Zoe Mungin: a 30-year old social studies teacher from Brooklyn who died from the virus after being on life support for almost a month. CBS News reports that she was rushed to the hospital three different times and was denied a test each and every time.

#4 – Kayla Williams: a 36-year old mother from London, UK with three children who died from the virus just 24 hours after she called for an ambulance. The Guardian reports that was initially told that she was not a “priority”.

#5 – Deborah Gatewood: a 63-year old from Detroit who died from the virus just two weeks after testing positive. NBC News reports that she was denied a test three times from the very hospital where she worked.

#6 – Thomas Fields Jr: a 32-year old Navy sailor who was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, who died from the virus. However, his story is a bit different. He himself was not denied a test, but prior to him feeling sick, his mom began to show the symptoms of the virus and was denied a test. WTKR reports that Thomas took care of his mom when she was sent home untested, but sadly he contracted the virus from her. As she got better, he got worse. Had she been given a test, she would have been in the hospital and would not have exposed her son to the virus.

Released by Music U Can Feel, the song dedicated in their honor can be heard for free online at CoronavirusSong.com or on YouTube. A portion of the proceeds from the song will be donated to families by the pandemic.

Activists, educators, preachers and even media personalities nationwide have also been speaking up about the lack of testing in communities where people of color live. Their way of delivery often varies, but their message is the same: Black and brown people are being discriminated against when it comes to who gets or doesn’t get a COVID-19 test… and it’s killing them!
