Leading Natural Medicine Expert Dr. Michael Murray Provides Top Tips for Boosting Immune Health


2X stronger version to support immune, respiratory and sinus health.* Breaks down excess and thick mucus and offers enhanced support for clear airways.*

“It’s clear that in order to support the body’s overall immunity, proteolytic enzymes play a significant role,” said Michael T. Murray, N.D.

Immune system health continues to be the daily focus for millions of people worldwide. Recommendations to improve immunity often include social distancing, enhanced hygiene, adequate hydration and sleep, and taking vitamins. However, a leading authority on Natural Medicine, Michael T. Murray, N.D., also stresses the importance of digestive enzymes in boosting immune defenses, especially for the respiratory mucosal barrier and gastrointestinal tract, namely enzymes that break down proteins or proteases.*

There are two ways for any invader to enter the body, the respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. The first line of defense, as natural barriers to infection that humans have, is the mucosal lining of the respiratory tract which includes the nasal cavity, sinuses, throat, trachea and bronchi. The second line of defense is the immune system which mostly lives within the gastrointestinal tract.

“Certain proteases, which are enzymes that breakdown proteins, help improve the structure of the mucosal lining by decreasing the thickness and increasing the production of mucus to help move microbes out of the body to protect the lungs,”* said Dr. Murray. “They also help support the immune system and the gastrointestinal tract as nearly all environmental threats contain proteins that protrude from their cell membranes that the immune system must identify and break down.* Proteases not only help digest good proteins but also help to break down unwanted proteins.”*

Protease or proteolytic enzymes support host defense mechanisms and immune function the following ways:


  • Improve the composition and function of mucus.*
  • Help promote processes that remove excess airway secretions, microbes, cellular debris and particulate matter from the airways.*
  • Support digestive enzymes and pancreatic enzyme function. * Enzymes that digest protein, proteases, are able to digest proteins in food and also the proteins on the cell walls of environmental threats.*

“It’s clear that in order to support the body’s overall immunity, proteolytic enzymes play a significant role. In addition to practicing self-care and following the right protocols, adding a digestive enzyme to your daily routine is important to support immune health.* I recommend looking for proteolytic enzymes which are therapeutically blended to cover the wide pH ranges within the human body,” concluded Dr. Murray.

Enzymedica, a Florida-based company that produces high quality natural digestive products, offers a complete line of protease-containing enzyme formulas including:

  • Enzyme Defense – offers daily immune, respiratory and sinus health support.* Also helps break down excess and thick mucus and helps clear airways.*
  • Enzyme Defense Extra Strength – is a 2X stronger version to support immune, respiratory and sinus health.* Breaks down excess and thick mucus and offers enhanced support for clear airways.*
  • MucoStop – contains enzymes beyond proteases and is designed to help promote easy breathing during seasonal or occasional congestion by breaking down and eliminating excess mucus in the sinus and nasal passages.*
  • Allerase – contains enzymes to support the body’s natural ability to identify and respond to common or seasonal irritants, promoting healthy respiratory function.*

About Enzymedica

Florida-based Enzymedica is a leading natural digestive health company since 1998 and sells to over 30,000 stores worldwide and online. Its top-selling enzyme brand is No. 1 in America.

Florida Healthcare Law Firm Offers Telehealth & Teledentistry Advisement During Covid-19 Pandemic


Florida Healthcare Law Firm

Florida Healthcare Law Firm is offering advisement by way of webinars to dentists and dental professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic. The firm, which offers legal assistance to medical professionals and businesses, is working in the dental law field and assisting professionals who are currently not working due to the coronavirus so that they can continue to provide assistance to their patients. With education top of mind for the firm, the telehealth and teledentistry campaign is to inform dental professionals on how to directly stay in contact with patients and offer services via audiovisual telecommunications.

“The coronavirus has hit our country hard and most small businesses. Dentistry is at the top of the list and even though dental law is one of our top fields, we wanted to make sure that we adapted to the times and offered a reliable service to our clients and those in the field impacted by this pandemic. Technology allows doctors to connect with patients from anywhere in the world and knowing that you can reach a medical professional who you’ve trusted for years is important, especially right now.” Florida Healthcare Law Firm Representative. “Although dental services have been deemed “non-essential business,” we know how important dental health is. Patients will still have dental questions or concerns during the office shut-downs.”

Because telemedicine is not a service usually offered by dentist offices, many doctors and business owners are finding it difficult to adjust and offer remote service. The law firm has stepped in and is offering free information webinars and other forms of digital content which can provide clarity and guidance for these small businesses so that they can stay open and provide care for their patients. With a limitation elective services, as well as many in the public not wanting to leave their homes right now, telehealth provides a bridge where patients can still get reliable care and advisement from someone they trust.

One example of telehealth in the dental world is orthodontists answering questions about maintenance for patients with braces. “If you have a patient who has a child who just got braces, they are going to have questions and need guidance on what their kids can and cannot do. Everything from if they have discomfort, what to eat, how to brush their teeth, flossing and so forth. There are plenty of questions if you are not familiar with braces and you do not want your patients to feel like they have no where to turn to or have to rely on information they find online. You want to be there for your patients, and we can help you accomplish that during this challenging time.

The Florida Healthcare Law Firm strives to continue to provide free information for healthcare professionals like breaking news, important government updates that affect the medical industry and even how to adapt to this “new normal” during covid-19. Our board certified healthcare attorneys are available for phone calls, virtual meetings and are operating virtually to serve our clients needs.

Darrin Farrow’s offers free consultations for therapeutic oil industry


Darrin Farrow, an entrepreneur and respected businessman with years of experience in finance and therapeutic oil, is announcing that he is offering consultation services to businesses and people who are trying to learn more about the therapeutic oil industry. The consultations are offered because of Darrin Farrow’s experience in this field and his understanding of the industry as it shifts and becomes more mainstream.

“I have spent the last five plus years learning everything that’s out there about this industry. Whether it’s therapeutic oil or some other element of it, production, marketing, government regulations or where to sell, I have seen it all and done it all. My goal is to help people learn how to invest properly in this field whether they want to buy products, start their own business or something else. There are a lot of great opportunities here and it’s on you to do the research and learn how it can benefit you.” Darrin Farrow

One example of how Mr. Farrow’s expertise can play a pivotal role in the process is with small businesses who are looking to offer these products online. During the consultation, Mr. Farrow will go over what type of licensing is needed, regulations, marketing on different platforms like Google and Facebook and how you can utilize them, where consumers are going to research these products and purchase them and more.

“There are so many manufacturers out there when it comes to medical marijuana, therapeutic oil products and so forth. Rather than focusing on the manufacturing side of things, companies are now focusing on being resellers. This is a smart idea, but it comes with some challenges. Facebook and Google do not allow for boosting at this time, so you have to build an audience organically. However, if you do it right with a strong Google and social media presence and utilize aggressive marketing channels that can actually produce traffic, you can have a very profitable business.”

For more information, please contact Darrin Farrow at:

Darrin B. Farrow has years of experience in the financial field and has worked in dozens of industries as a consultant and strategist. During your free consultation, Darrin will be happy to show you cost-effective solutions to invest wisely in the therapeutic oil industries and build an online presence that will benefit your business for years.

OYO Fitness’ NOVA Gym Becomes Highest Funded Fitness Product Ever on Kickstarter


News Image

These stunning results of our Kickstarter campaign show the consumer is looking for better fitness solutions, and I think we proved we have them.

The OYO NOVA Gym shattered records within two weeks to become the most funded fitness product in Kickstarter history, raising more than $1,750,000 to date. With more than 11,000 backers, more people have backed this campaign than any other fitness crowdfunding campaign – and the campaign still has a month to go.

After launching on April 28, the NOVA Gym blew past its funding goal of $30,000 in less than an hour and hasn’t looked back. Building upon the success of the original OYO Personal Gym, the NOVA Gym offers higher resistance with the same patented SpiraFlex resistance technology used by NASA astronauts for almost 10 years in space. Now people can benefit from strength training anywhere with the option to add even more resistance.

“The OYO team has worked hard to develop fitness devices that fit in anyone’s lifestyle,” said Paul Francis, founder, inventor and CEO of OYO Fitness. “These stunning results of our Kickstarter campaign show the consumer is looking for better fitness solutions, and I think we proved we have them.”

The key to the NOVA Gym is SpiraFlex resistance technology. It was originally developed by Francis for NASA astronauts to counteract muscle loss during long expeditions on the International Space Station.

“Think about how much your body would atrophy if you laid in bed for six months, that is what happens to astronauts if we don’t strength train in space,” said former NASA Commander Leroy Chiao, PhD. “After six months in space using SpiraFlex technology, I returned stronger than before I left.”

The NOVA Gym duplicates the benefits of weight training, with up to 40 pounds of SpiraFlex resistance, in all planes of movement. It’s a full gym that fits in the hands, providing more than 100 exercises for the chest, back, arms, core and legs – yet it weighs less than 2.5 pounds and folds up to go anywhere. Patented DoubleFlex activation provides resistance to opposing muscle groups within the same movement, building a balanced body in less time.

In addition to the NOVA Gym, all backers of the campaign will receive “Stretch Goals” that include: an invitation to train with OYO Fitness Director Nick Bolton, a breathable mesh carrying bag, a printed exercise deck with instructions on how to perform each exercise,an exercise towel and NOVA Gym color options. Future Stretch Goals that backers can achieve include: 2-year warranty, a workout poster featuring top exercises, a workout headband and two months of 2 premium online workout programs.

The NOVA Gym is now available to pre-order, at an Early Bird discount and free US shipping at pr.go2.fund/novagym.

About OYO Fitness

OYO Fitness founder Paul Francis first developed SpiraFlex resistance technology for the NASA mission critical program to counteract astronaut bone and muscle loss caused by long-term zero gravity. During 10 years, over 50 International Space Station crew members have kept in shape with the SpiraFlex powered iRED invented by Francis. SpiraFlex was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame.

Next, he licensed SpiraFlex technology to Nautilus Inc. and helped develop the Bowflex Revolution home gym, which is one of the best-selling home gyms of all time.

Francis founded OYO Fitness to develop fitness solutions that can fit anyone’s budget and lifestyle. OYO Fitness has become one of the fastest-growing brands in the health and fitness industry, with a deep pipeline of new products.

Miami Healthcare Advertising Agency Maintains Winning Streak In National Competition


Logo from The Weinbach Group, a Miami ad agency.

The Healthcare Advertising Awards gives us a platform to demonstrate our expertise to the world.

The Weinbach Group, a nationally recognized healthcare marketing firm, scored multiple wins in the 37th Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards, the largest healthcare advertising awards competition in the country. The contest’s esteemed panel of healthcare marketing specialists reviewed each entry for creativity, effectiveness, design quality, and overall impact; and as in years past, the competition in each category was fierce – attracting more than 4,000 entries from hundreds of ad agencies and in-house marketing departments for healthcare enterprises.

This year, the healthcare advertising agency added nine more wins to its collection of more than 100 awards, including two gold awards: one for its brand launch of the prescription drug Xepi and one on behalf of Physicians Dialysis, a national network of dialysis clinics. It also won awards for entries submitted for other healthcare clients, including Genuine Health Group, the Insurance Trust for Delta Retirees, and The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders. The Miami ad agency won for entries in multiple categories from direct mail and brochures, to social media campaigns.

“Our creative team of copywriters, art directors, and programmers bring unequaled healthcare marketing expertise to the table,” said Daniel Weinbach, president and CEO of The Weinbach Group. “When you’ve worked with such a broad range of healthcare organizations, and you have such a thorough understanding of the industry, as our firm does, you’re able to develop creative output that stands head and shoulders above other work. And the Healthcare Advertising Awards gives us a platform to demonstrate that expertise to the world.”

The Weinbach Group, which is in its fourth decade of business, recently began working with MAXhealth, a network of primary care medical centers in multiple communities on Florida’s west coast. MAXhealth selected The Weinbach Group, in part, for its award-winning work, as well as for its overall approach to medical advertising. Already, the firm has demonstrated success helping MAXhealth quickly develop a communications strategy to migrate thousands of patients to its telehealth platform following the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Healthcare Advertising Awards are sponsored by Healthcare Marketing Report, which covers all aspects of healthcare marketing, advertising, and strategic business development. The contest, in its 37th year, attracted 4,200 entries from agencies nationwide. In addition to gold, silver, and bronze awards, judges awarded a small panel of entries “Best In Show.”

Watch CNBC for a New Episode of Advancements Television on Saturday, May 16, 2020


“The world is changing every day, and with it bringing new ideas and innovative technologies to our fingertips,” said Dustin Schwarz, programming director for the Advancements series. “We look forward to exploring these topics in this episode.

A new episode of Advancements with Ted Danson is scheduled to broadcast on Saturday, May 16, 2020 @2:30pET via CNBC. The show will focus on advances in technology as it relates to health and medicine, data, and more. Check local listings for more information on this program.

In this episode, Advancements will focus on the Pure Maintenance patented dry fog system and its ability to destroy the coronavirus on contact. Audiences will be educated about the EverPURE protectant, which protects surfaces for up to 90 days from all viruses, including COVID-19. One difficult aspect of a new virus forming is the lack of available specimens for testing. Preliminary tests have shown the virus is fairly easy to kill on a surface, when an oxidizer like Pure Maintenance is applied. Spectators will see how as an enveloped virus, the coronavirus can be killed on contact with InstaPURE or EverPURE and requires very little dwell time.

The show will also explore FleetNurse, a company that provides hospitals, medical groups, and health systems with access to quality credentialed healthcare providers on emergency short-term notice – helping to reduce understaffing and affiliated costs, while improving patient care. Viewers will learn about FleetNurse’s software and will see how it screens and qualifies providers who want to work per diem shifts. It will also look at how FleetNurse uses technology and its network of nurses and providers to connect them with facilities to ensure that patient care is not diminished due to lack of staff, while providing jobs within local communities, therefore, helping the local economy.

To many, fuel delivery is still a very manual process where a fuel provider must physically check each of their tanks to determine who needs gas when. A largely inefficient method which costs both gas and labor hours. The only way to take the labor and guesswork out of this equation is by installing an accurate tank monitor. In this segment, Advancements will focus on Otodata, a key player in the tank monitoring industry, and will educate about its derivatization to developing, manufacturing, distributing, and supporting its award-winning tank monitoring solution to businesses all over North America.

Making Maple Syrup or “sugaring” was originally a way for farmers to supplement their income. Today, it is a multimillion-dollar industry. In this episode, the show will explore the sugaring industry and will discover what it takes to produce high quality syrup. With a focus on The Maple Shop, located in Chester, New Jersey, spectators will see how the company shares its knowledge and equipment to help others make superior maple syrup, in addition to providing the highest quality syrup and products to its customers.

“The world is changing every day, and with it bringing new ideas and innovative technologies to our fingertips,” said Dustin Schwarz, programming director for the Advancements series. “We look forward to exploring these topics in this episode.
