Ilchi Lee, World-Renowned Brain Educator, Brings 'Vibrate Your Brain to Life' to London

Founder of the Brain Wave vibration method, award-winning author and president of the International Brain Education Association, Lee's provocative, highly interactive presentation comes to London this month. Learn how to harness gentle, rhythmic shaking and access a higher plane of human consciousness.

London (PRWeb UK) July 1, 2009

Innovative brain educator and philosopher Ilchi Lee (http://www. brainwavevibration. com/author/author. aspx) leads London in learning to unleash the power of brain wave vibrations. "Vibrate your Brain to Life" features Lee, founder of the Brain Wave vibration method and president of the International Brain Education Association (http://www. ibrea. org/). The event will be held Saturday, 25th of July, 2:45-5:00 p. m., at the Logan Hall of the Institute of Education of London University, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0HL.

In Lee's engaging, interactive lecture, Brain Wave Vibration (http://www. brainwavevibration. com/videos/video_channel. aspx) (BWV), a simple yet profound method, he will show and explain how gently, rhythmically shaking one's body and brain can yield amazingly positive improvements in the physical body, mind/emotions, spiritual awareness, and life success. This method is among the most powerful and efficient of the hundreds exercises that he has developed over the past 30 years for Brain Education, a system for utilizing one's brain to achieve greater health, happiness, peace and success. Business people will find Lee's techniques especially rewarding for stress management, paying dividends with increased focus, greater efficiency and added success.

Lee is a pioneering brain philosopher/educator and brain-business strategist, who came to devote his life to researching and teaching how to better utilize the human brain to promote a better world. He believes that by utilizing the brain's full power, individuals and humanity can achieve their fuller potential, and creatively resolve the serious problems that confront them. "Humanity, by focusing on the brain as the final determinant of human consciousness and behaviour, will unite people worldwide in creating a peaceful sustainable way of life within this century," said Ilchi Lee, in a recent LA Yoga Magazine profile of the master of brain techknowledgey.

Lee is the founder and president of the Korea Institute of Brain Science (http://www. brainkibs. org/) (KIBS), a non-governmental organization in consultative status with the United Nations, which has hosted several conferences on Brain Education and its contributions to health, education and peace. Announced at the UN in 2008, two Japanese professors' Brain Wave Vibration-focused research studies indicated that BWV practitioners realized positive physical and mental health improvements.

The BWV method can also contribute to an improved business environment and heightened professional accomplishment. Among other stress management benefits, BWV allows practitioners to bring balance between calm and tense brain waves, allowing for greater mental clarity and the focus needed for efficiency and success.

Lee's Brain Education programs and methods evolved from traditional practices in a South Korean park to a worldwide phenomenon. Now his unique brain-fitness training is offered at nearly 1,000 exercise centers around the world, known in the U. K. as HSP Holistic Yoga (http://www. hspholistic. com/). At the core of Brain Education is the understanding that everyone has a Brain Operating System, like a computer has a user's manual. This enables one to practice Brain Management to achieve one's life goals.

Lee has authored 31 books (14 in English), with the most recent Brain Wave Vibration (http://www. brainwavevibration. com/) articulating a clear expression of the philosophy and science behind this method, and various ways to do it. His other recent brain-focused books include In Full Bloom (Brain Education for successful aging), Principles of Brain Management, and Power Brain Kids. Brain Wave Vibration has recently earned 2 awards: Gold medal of the 2009 Living Now Books Awards (Meditation and Relaxation category) and Winner of the 2009 Arizona Glyph Awards (Psychology/Self Help category). In Full Bloom also won 2 awards: Silver medal of 2009 Living Now Books Awards (Mature Living and Anti Aging category) and winner of the 2009 Arizona Glyph Awards (Health/Wellness/Nutrition category).

The London Brain Wave Vibration (http://uk. brainworld. com/) event will create an experience for the participants that will have virtually immediate results - including calming and centering the mind, improving memory, eliminating pain, expanding joy and peace, and enhancing the natural capability to heal body and mind. With appropriate music, the event will consist of a series of fun and meaningful movements and messages.

Shark Liver Oil

Immunity from the deep

Strengthens the immune system Beneficial for coughs, colds and influenza Recommended before, during and after radiation therapy

Immunity from the Deep

Sharks are the strongest and most invincible of all creatures in the ocean. Besides their outward physical attributes to protect themselves, nature provided these creatures from the deep with amazing immunity to ill health. They never get cancer or the common problems associated with humanity. The exciting news is that now their powerful resistance may be available to you.

Two Centuries Old

Norwegian fishermen in the 18th Century discovered that oil extracted from the liver of the deep water shark sped up skin tissue repair if applied to wounds. The fishermen filled stomach sacs of fish with the shark's liver oil and used it to alleviate respiratory tract infections. They also found through practical usage that the oil strengthened them, especially when taken after illness.

Exciting Discovery

By the early 19th Century, the use of shark liver oil had all but died out, apart from in a few isolated Scandinavian fishing communities. This valuable knowledge would have completely disappeared, had it not been for two Japanese scientists who, in 1922, discovered a lipid which differs from the usually fatty substances by the presence of a single atom of oxygen. They called these healing molecules alkoxyglycerols.

These molecules were synthesised in 1930 and then research into their versatile healing applications progressed rapidly. The technological advances of the 1940s and 1950s enabled the Swedish researchers, Hallgren and Larsson, to undertake extremely specific studies of shark liver oil in the 1960s1. The liver oil was found to contain extremely high concentrations of active alkoxyglycerols2,3 usually only found in mother's milk and bone marrow. Further scientific research was then undertaken over the next twenty years by other Swedish researchers.

Properties of Alkoxyglycerols

These eminent Swedish scientists made the exciting discoveries that shark liver oil, with its potent alkoxyglycerols:

activated and enhanced the body's lymphatic immune defence system by stimulating the formation of antibodies4 and increasing the number of white blood cells and thrombocytes in our blood. diminished the harmful side-effects following radiation therapy by reducing leucopenia and thrombocytopenia (both of which invariably occur during the course of irradiation).5,6 The alkoxyglycerols neutralised and counteracted the detrimental changes in the blood cell ratio caused by treatment.

Lymphatic Immune Response

The lymphatic system plays an important role in the body's immune system by repelling harmful bacteria, fungi and viral invaders. It is one of the major lines of the body's defences against disease and could be likened to the pipes of the plumbing system in a building. Its vessels carry tissue fluid, called lymph, around the body. The lymph carries harmful substances from the tissues to be exterminated by the white blood cells in the lymph nodes, before the lymph is returned to the blood at the veins in the neck. The lymphatic nodes are small glands, situated in specific places in the body, which produce white blood cells. Some of these cells produce antibodies and others ingest the invading bacteria, thereby destroying it.

Radiation Therapy

In the course of these extensive studies, it was observed and recorded that alkoxyglycerols, if taken for a period prior to radiation therapy, had an inhibiting effect upon abnormal cellular reproduction7 and the results of these innovative discoveries were reported to the international scientific world at the First International Symposium on Ether Lipids in Oncology, held in Western Germany in 1986.

How Shark Liver Oil May Help You

It has been extensively researched and scientifically proven that the active alkoxyglycerols in shark liver oil have a definite healing application.

Indications for its use would appear to be:

Recurring infections. Strengthening the immune system, particularly in chronic degenerative diseases. Beneficial for coughs, colds and influenza. Important for tissue repair, delayed wound healing and acne. Recommended before, during and after radiation therapy. Promotes healing and recovery of nervous system. Normalises metabolism in diabetics. Effective against viral hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Has an analgesic and anaesthetising effect to neutralise pain. Topically, shark liver oil is a valuable deterrent in the fight against the symptoms of ageing and as an aid in the maintenance and integrity of the skin. It also helps to minimise the liver spots that accompany aging.

Nature's Benefit

Shark liver oil alkoxyglycerols are not an isolated example of health benefits from the ocean. The shark has, however, provided an exciting answer to some of mankind's pressing health problems with its potent, healing alkoxyglycerols.

Please note that shark liver oil products currently available are sourced from Scandinavia, where the sharks are fished for human consumption and pet food and are not fished exclusively for its oil.

Compeau-Fawkes Marketing Brings On Kenny West, Pioneer In Mobile Software Marketing, To Guide Developers Of Mobile Computing Solutions To Greater Success

Compeau-Fawkes Technology Marketing has added Kenny West to its consulting team.

PITTSBURG, PA (PRWEB) November 1, 2006

Compeau-Fawkes Technology Marketing (www. compeau-fawkes. com) has added Kenny West, founder and former CEO of PalmGear, Inc. (now a subsidiary of Motricity, Inc.), to its consulting team. West founded and built the PalmGear. com brand into one of the most successful online marketplaces for mobile software products, guiding it from start-up to $26MM in revenue and eventual acquisition of the majority interest in the company. As part of the Compeau-Fawkes team, Kenny brings immense value to the company’s technology clients in the mobile and wireless industry — whether at the strategic level or facilitating marketing and product decisions on the ground while navigating this fast changing segment.

“Success in this market today is no longer as easy as creating a neat piece of software and putting a simple store up on the ‘Net,'” says Michael Compeau, founder of Compeau-Fawkes. “There’s been a change in the balance of power as wireless carriers have taken control of their ‘on the deck’ offerings. Real success depends upon getting your solution in front of the right people that can help see the benefits of the solution, and who are in a position to put real wind in a developer’s sails — and that is based on having the right contacts in this small but dynamic industry.”

"Seeing the success that Compeau-Fawkes has been able to extend to the mobile community was a major draw for me,” said West. “In today's market having a great product is simply not enough, it must be a full circle proposition and this is where Compeau-Fawkes and I see eye-to-eye. Together, we will fulfill the needs of companies so that they can achieve their goals and beyond."

After nearly 20 years of experience in classical marketing, product development, technology marketing, product management, and business development, Michael Compeau formed his own consulting firm in the fall of 2003 with a focus on offering his expertise to technology firms seeking to get greater leverage in their marketplace. Along the way, his experience in the mobile software arena at firms like Cutting Edge Software and Mobility Electronics helped Compeau-Fawkes build a substantial client list, including work for Palmsource, Inc., Mobile Digital Media (now Quickoffice, Inc.), Mapopolis. com, SplashData (now part of SixApart) & iambic, Inc. Additionally, Compeau-Fawkes’ technology marketing services extend beyond mobile to many other technology sectors including IT, health care, life sciences, and material science, and include working with firms as diverse as Xerox, Biomatters Ltd, Tundra Materials, and SMBLive.

Pima Medical Institute Celebrates 35 Years in Healthcare Education

Pima Medical Institute, with campuses in Seattle and Renton, celebrate 35 years in healthcare education.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 31, 2007

In the same year that President Nixon made an unprecedented eight-day visit to China, M*A*S*H premiered on CBS and Carole King first sang You've Got A Friend, Pima Medical Institute first opened its doors. Thirty-five years later, Pima Medical Institute, with a campus in Seattle at 9709 Third Avenue NE, Suite 400 and 555 S. Renton Village Place in Renton, PMI has successfully placed thousands of men and women in careers in healthcare.

Founded by Richard Luebke Sr. and his wife, JoAnn, the privately-owned, career college opened its first campus in Tucson in 1972. The Seattle school has been in operation since 1989; the Renton campus opened its doors in 2004. In addition to these schools, PMI has campuses in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Mesa and Tucson, AZ., Denver and Colorado Springs, CO; Las Vegas, NV and Chula Vista, CA.

Although initially PMI offered business related programs such as Grocery Checking, PBX Operator and Hotel Motel Management, Luebke Sr. was inundated with requests to train nursing aids and in 1973 he shifted the focus to healthcare. PMI began its first medical program and ran five classes at a time for nurses' aids and medical receptionists. More than three decades have passed, and careers in healthcare are still going strong.

Luebke started his career in education working for other school franchises. He earned a reputation as a "firefighter" - someone who was always cleaning up after someone else. He knew that if he could run things his way, he, and the students who came to his school, would be successful. Thirty-five years later, Pima Medical Institute has earned the reputation of being one of the top career colleges in the U. S.

"The secret to success is being right - run your business right, treat people right, and give your students their money's worth," said Luebke Sr. "Survival in the school industry can be brutal. Too many companies run their operation like it's a fast food franchise. It's more than "making the donuts" each day. It's personalized, it's family and it's loyalty to all. That's why Pima has survived."

The Seattle campus opened in 1989 and offers programs for Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiography (Associate of Occupational Science), Veterinary Assistant and Veterinary Technician.

PMI's newest campus in Renton opened in 2004. Its programs include: Dental Assistant; Medical Assistant; Medical Administrative Assistant; Pharmacy Technician; Phlebotomy Technician and Veterinary Assistant.

PMI is one of the premier medical career colleges in the western United States. The privately owned, accredited school provides students with a well-rounded education embracing theoretical classroom studies, as well as on-site training at medical facilities that mirror the working environment they will pursue after graduation.

Additional information is available at http://www. pmi. edu (http://www. pmi. edu) or by calling toll free 1-888-442-5998.
