Greatly Enhance Your Immune and Endocrine Systems to Help Prevent Illness and Expedite Healing Through Utilizing Neuroscience and Epigenetics

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- International researcher and author, Brian J. Sheen, Ph.D. is happy to announce the release of his new online Master Class, "Overcoming Today's Stress, Anxiety and Assault on Health." This course's purpose is to strengthen and gain mastery over your health while you expedite the re-entry process into our brave new world to turn the ongoing worldwide crisis into an empowering opportunity.

Dr. Sheen summarized his latest course release sharing, "This course expands the vision of wellness and how the body functions, to help overcome the multiple layers of pandemic stress and anxiety which has harmed the body's disease tolerance and immune levels. The quarantine's stresses weakened both the immune and endocrine systems from the constant assault on its homeostasis. The international traumas of death and fear have been burnt into the brain through massive electronic fixations that has rewired billions of brains with unhealthy neural networks while turning on negative expressions of their genes. This unprecedented event has predisposed everyone to mental, emotional, and physical illnesses that vaccines cannot provide protection from."

In this empowering new course, students discover in in a few hours from the engaging videos and materials many helpful approaches to use the sciences of epigenetics and quantum embodiment. These combine the life changing approaches Dr. Sheen shares in his breakthrough books, "The Epigenetics Cure, Re-educating Your Cells and DNA for Optimal Health" (available on Amazon in English, Spanish and Audible editions) and "Accessing Your inner Pharmacy" (available on Amazon in English and Spanish).

Samples of the course's subjects include:

Enhancing natural immunities for prevention against illness or disease, alternatives for replacing the medications for depression, ADHD, insomnia, high blood pressure and thyroid imbalances, enhancing your limbic system and disease tolerance, rewiring your brains inner GPS, strengthening your microbiome to catalyze your DNA, injecting your mind with a psychoneuroimmunology based immune booster and discovering how to heal traumatic intergenerational epigenetic tags distorting your DNA.

The course, like Dr. Sheen's books, is experientially based to train yourself in the most up to date scientific tools and strategies to protect your family and yourself from this pandemic's illness and disease and the scores of others plaguing our country such as heart disease and cancer. In easy to understand and follow techniques, students can become proficient to use the most up to date epigenetic-based methods of neuroscience, to overcome the current stress, anxiety, and assault on mental, emotional, and physical health.

As Dr. Sheen espouses, "In a world dominated by social media's cult-like factions, it is vital everyone understand the facts of how their body and mind can work together to become the masters of their wellness and prevent falling victim to the economic and political vested interest groups that seek to control them."

To celebrate our upcoming Independence Day there is a special promo code for a 30% discount available until July 4, 2021. Why not become the master of your health? This Master Class "Overcoming Today's Stress, Anxiety and Assault on Health Course" is specially priced at only $34 when using the promo code.

Marijunana Home Gardens To Conduct Seminars on How to Legally Grow Marijuana in Your Home – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. -- empe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it is conducting a series of seminars to teach Arizona residents how to legally and effectively grow marijuana in their residences.

Six months after the passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) that now allows Arizona residents to grow and harvest marijuana for personal use, amateur gardeners are excitedly seeking resources to grow high-value plants in their homes.

For that reason, and because of a lack of existing options in the marketplace, Marijuana Home Gardens created the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house kit, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors. This complete kit includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third-party partner (www.marijuanaseedconnect.com), planter pots, and a watering system.

Their Outdoor Grow Hut provides a safe, electricity-free environment to maximize plant growth and minimize all equipment and maintenance costs.

With 5 years' experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company founder, Dante Anthony, is conducting a series of seminars, where he will be teaching gardeners the fine art of successful growing.

"While we offer optional gardening services that can get you from seed to smoke in 90 days, we found many people are interested in applying their horticultural skills towards growing on their own." says Dante. "It is a tricky process and I get flooded with questions all the time from passionate gardeners and thought it's time to help them get on the path to a constant crop."

The first seminar is being hosted by the Sun Lakes Garden Club at the Chapel Center in Chandler (9230 E. Sun Lakes Blvd) on Tuesday, June 15th at 10 AM. Visitors are welcome to attend and may be from any city with any level of experience.

Recovery Expert Slash Coleman To Discuss New Laughter Yoga Addiction Treatment in Webinar to Help Participants Sustain Long-term Sobriety

RICHMOND, Va. -- Renowned author and US Laughter Ambassador Slash Coleman announced today that he will offer a webinar on a new form of addiction treatment entitled "Redefining Addiction and Recovery Through Laughter Yoga." Hosted by the Master Center for Addiction Medicine, this free webinar will occur on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. ET and is meant for addiction specialists, laughter yoga professionals, and participants struggling with substance and activity addictions.

Coleman will speak about an in-patient recovery program he created at a treatment facility in 2019 aimed at helping those who struggle with addictions to: alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships, spending, gambling, eating, and self-injury. The program, which has been utilized successfully as an initiative with the US Department of Veterans Affairs, has been known to help participants gain independence from addictive behavior by: reducing stress related cravings, boosting resistance to intense urges and building purpose, self-esteem and sober coping strategies.

"I grew up with addiction in my family and know firsthand the pain it causes," Coleman says. "It's gratifying to see how something as simple as laughter can have such a positive impact on something as complex as addiction."

Slash Coleman is best known for his work on stage, in books and on television where he often uses his irreverent humor to create stories related to his family's struggle with addiction. In 2015, after suffering a mysterious lung collapse while on his book tour, his journey back to health led him to India where he studied with Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the worldwide laughter yoga movement.

"Using laughter yoga to support multiple treatment paths makes this unique," says Alexa Fong Drubay, Executive Director of Laughter Yoga USA. "Since addiction is a family disease, our network of free laugher clubs around the world allows us to not only focus on individuals struggling with addiction, but provide family members with support, as well."

Enrollment in the webinar is limited and pre-registration is recommended at: https://laughteryogarichmond.com/masterclass.

There is no cost for participants, though a $25 recommended donation for laughter professionals and those who work in a recovery-related field is suggested. For more information visit https://laughteryogarichmond.com/.
