Asbestos Line is Now Hot

The Asbestos Hotline is Now Launched and Online

Environmental Control Services has announced the official launch of TheAsbestosHotline.com, an informational website about asbestos that is totally free to the public.

Ashland, KY, November 01, 2008 -- Environmental Control Services, Inc. has announced the launch of their new website, TheAsbestosHotline.com. President & CEO, David Runyon has taken over 20 years of experience in the asbestos consulting, testing, and training field and created this very informational website that includes an online tutorial about asbestos, health effects, uses of the mineral, etc. TheAsbestosHotline is totally free to the public.

Mr. Runyon has worked in the asbestos field since 1986 and has extensive experience in the identification of asbestos containing materials, bulk material sampling, air monitoring, abatement design, and abatement project management. He has conducted hundreds of inspections in schools and commercial buildings as well as conducting asbestos awareness training for school system employees since the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) came into effect in 1989. Mr. Runyon also served on the Board of Directors of the West Virginia Environmental Council and was a member of an advisory council that reviewed and made recommendations for the development of the West Virginia State Asbestos Regulations.

TheAsbestosHotline.com also allows users to easily locate asbestos attorneys, abatement contractors, and asbestos inspectors in their state. There can be hundreds or in some cases thousands of licensed asbestos professionals in some states. TheAsbestosHotline.com makes it much easier to find the professional needed. Asbestos Attorneys, Lawyers, Asbestos Contractors, and Asbestos Inspectors can contact TheAsbestosHotline.com directly by phone or online for listing information.

Founder, David Runyon said about TheAsbestosHotline: "We found throughout the years that some people who have worked around asbestos containing materials in schools, commercial buildings and general industry, have at one time or another, been through an asbestos awareness training course. The vast majority of the people in the USA however, still know very little about asbestos. We also found that a lot of these people had only minimal knowledge about it and some had a lot of misconceptions. That's why we developed an online tutorial About Asbestos on TheAsbestosHotline.com."

Major Cancer is Now Preventable

Ads Running Throughout the City Are Alerting New Yorkers That a Major Cancer is Now Preventable

"So Disfiguring, So Preventable," the Message about Oral Cancer that is Dominating the City.

New York, NY, October 30, 2008 -- Preventing oral cancer is the word on the street in New York City, as scores of people are spotting advertisements that are running on hundreds of city buses, inside and out. Oral cancer, which kills twice as many Americans as cervical cancer, is now especially on the rise in young people, women and non-smokers partly due to what is widely suspected to be an oral sex related increase in exposure to the human papilloma virus (HPV). OralCDx Laboratories, a division of Oral Cancer Prevention International, has launched a bus ad campaign, urging people to visit BrushTest certified dentists for this routine screening test. The BrushTest, often compared to the Pap smear for the prevention of cervical cancer, tells patients if any of the common red and white spots that are found in almost everyone's mouth at one time or another are pre-cancerous and need to be removed, long before they have the chance to develop into cancer.

The ad appears on the outside and inside of 450 MTA buses. Simultaneously, a similar ad jointly placed by OralCDx Laboratories and the American Dental Association is running on over 100 MTA buses.

The bus ads will be running until the end of November, leading into the Greater New York Dental Meeting, taking place at The Javits Center starting on November 28.

Oral cancer, one of the most disfiguring cancers, kills about as many Americans as melanoma and twice as many as cervical cancer. Very few cancers are preventable, and OralCDx is on a mission to let people know that oral cancer has recently joined the short list of preventable cancers. The effectiveness and accuracy of the BrushTest is referenced by both the National Cancer Institute and the ADA, and the test is used by over 30,000 dentists nationwide.

About the BrushTest

OralCDx Laboratories, a division of Oral Cancer Prevention International, Inc., is the worldwide, exclusive provider of the BrushTest, utilizing patented and proprietary tissue sampling and cell analysis systems. The BrushTest is used by dentists and physicians to help prevent oral cancer, a disease that kills as many Americans as melanoma, twice as many as cervical cancer, and is rising among women, young people and non-smokers. Well over 25% of those found to have oral cancer do not use tobacco or abuse alcohol. Recent studies have also shown a link between HPV and an increase in oral cancer.

The BrushTest is taught in the majority of U.S. dental schools and is a covered benefit under Medicare, Medicaid and most private U.S. medical and dental insurance plans. The American Dental Association (ADA), in collaboration with OralCDx Laboratories, has recently embarked on a campaign to inform patients that because of the BrushTest, oral cancer has joined the short list of cancers that can now be stopped, years before they can even start. The accuracy of OralCDx was demonstrated in one of the largest studies in oral medicine ever conducted, performed at 35 academic centers in the U.S., involving nearly 1,000 patients. This study was published as the cover story of the Journal of the American Dental Association and earned OralCDx the ADA's prestigious Seal of Acceptance.

Charity Helps Millions Left Starving by Health Insurance

Local Charity Helps "Feed" the Millions Left "Starving" by Health Insurance

Manna Scholarship Fund was formed in 2007 as a 501(c)3 organization focused on filling the funding gap for individuals needing inpatient eating disorder treatment. Because insurance policies will rarely cover the cost of successful inpatient treatment, MSF is attempting to "fill the funding gap" for those in need of treatment. Manna Scholarship Fund is hosting a fundraising dinner "Manna in Motion" to promote the scholarship fund and to raise awareness of this great need to the public.

Atlanta, GA, September 11, 2008 -- Who: Manna Scholarship Fund was formed in 2007 as a 501(c)3 organization focused on filling the funding gap for individuals needing inpatient eating disorder treatment.

Why: Because the Health Insurance industry does not understand the significance of adequate eating disorders treatment, insurance policies will rarely cover the cost of successful inpatient treatment. This cost can be between $800-$2000 a day, with appropriate treatment ranging from 60-90 days, and often longer. This puts families of these sufferers in grave danger. Statistically, this illness is extremely significant because "anorexia has the highest premature fatality rate of any mental illness" (Sullivan, 1995). Without assistance, those in need of this type of inpatient treatment will have no other option but to pay the full price of treatment.

Being awarded a Scholarship from the Manna Fund provides the scholarship winner with:

· An active role in the choosing the treatment facility
· The opportunity to receive adequate, life-saving care
· Options to extended treatment that previously weren't available through the health insurance and/or to patients that have no inpatient benefits
· A greater chance of recovery due to access to the In-Patient services
· The opportunity to gain wholeness and in turn give back to others in need.

How: In order to provide adequate eating disorder treatment for those in need, Manna Scholarship Fund seeks to raise funds through many avenues, including in-kind donations, outreach programming that focuses on family investment (jewelry-making parties, bowling tournaments), corporate sponsorships, and grants. Manna Scholarship Fund has raised nearly $100,000 for scholarships in the past year and a half, supplying three individuals with the necessary inpatient treatment and reaching a hundred families through outreach. As the word has gotten out about the existence of this fund, scholarship application submission has sky-rocketed.

What/When: In order to contribute to this need, Manna Scholarship Fund is hosting a fundraising dinner "Manna in Motion" to promote the scholarship fund and to raise awareness of this great need to the public. This event will be held on Thursday, September 25th at the 1420 Room at 1420 Dunwoody Village Parkway, Dunwoody, Georgia.

At this event, guest speaker, Barbara Gaby of the Gaby Foundation, will discuss her journey through her own eating disorder as well as what it was like to be a part of a prominent family while enduring an eating disorder. Guests will also hear from Genie Burnett, the Executive Director of the MSF, in regards to the mission and vision of the MSF, as well as outreach and ongoing fundraising efforts. Guests will also be entertained by surprise performances as well as a jazz quartet. In efforts to raise funds for MSF, Manna in Motion will also hold a silent auction.

For more information about the Manna Scholarship Fund and the upcoming fundraising event, please go to www.mannafund.org, or contact Jesse Stanford at jstanford@mannafund.org or @ (404)-665-7725 The Manna Scholarship Fund, Inc. 2250 Satellite Blvd, Suite 100, Duluth, GA 30097.

Headliners:

· Up to 10 million people each year suffer from eating disorders while their health insurance leaves them paying the bills.
· Without treatment up to 20% of people with serious eating disorders die. With treatment that number falls to less than 3%.
· A local charity Manna Scholarship Fund bridges the gaps in patient's ability to pay for necessary treatment.
· Founded by Dr. Genie Burnett and Leslie Cox RD, LD in 2007, the Manna Scholarship Fund focuses on education, awareness, and action in offsetting the exorbitant cost of treatment.
· Recognizing the hidden "holes" in the typical health insurance coverage, Dr. Burnett and Mrs. Cox chose to go about fixing the problem the only way they knew how and not with the indifference that the Health Insurance Industry displays.
· The huge number of potential recipients that could benefit from a scholarship is simply so big that the Scholarship Fund needs your donations.

Families Informed About Insurance Coverage With Medical Reimbursement Resource

Medical Reimbursement Resource LLC of Houston Helps Families Stay Informed, Choose Right Insurance Coverage

Company Educates Consumers of Medicare Part C Advantage Plan Enrollment Period Deadline - March 31, 2008

Houston, TX  -  March 12 -- Medical Reimbursement Resource (MRR) LLC, a leading patient advocacy company in Houston, advises the Medicare community of March 31st Medicare Part C enrollment deadline and helps educate consumers on the best health insurance choices for their situation.

MRR professionals explain that the Medicare program is a federal program that helps senior citizens and other qualifying individuals pay for health care. Divided into parts, A, B, C, and D, Part C is an alternative to Parts A and B. Under Part C, private health insurance companies can contract with the federal government to offer Medicare benefits through their own policies.

"Medicare Part C Advantage Plans are not for everyone. Generally the choice of providers is more limited than with traditional Medicare Parts A & B. Individuals with special health problems and working with physicians that are important to them are recommended to remain on Medicare Parts A and B," said MRR owner Jane Lehto.

"However, it's great to have another insurance option available for Medicare beneficiaries. This is where Medicare Part C comes in," Lehto added.

Lehto and her staff help clients choose the right insurance coverage and receive all benefits to which they are entitled under their particular policy. With over 40 plans from which to choose in Texas, it is an often difficult process through which to navigate for the unknowing consumer.

Lehto further explained that the type of candidates qualifying for the Medicare Part C, particularly the Medicare Part C Advantage Plus plan, would be those in fragile health and on fixed incomes. The relatively new plans include either HMO's or PPO's and come with modest premiums. A vast number of physicians and hospitals participate in the plans.

"And effective this past January is the option for those switching from Medicare Parts A and B to return to their plans for whatever reason during the enrollment period from November 15 through December 31, 2008," said Lehto.

MRR also assists patients and their families with problem health insurance claims and medical bills, benefit issues, along with insurance choices and a myriad of issues that the consumer faces in today's challenging and complex insurance world.

Government Rejects Request to Clean up Asbestos

LegalView Reports About the Government's Rejection of a Monetary Request to Clean up An Asbestos-Tainted Site

LegalView updated its mesothelioma blog to include news of the government denying federal funds to an area in Arkansas that was left tainted with asbestos after nearly 150 World War II structures were destroyed in a fire. The government rejected the requests from the town of Chaffee Crossing where citizens are currently at risk of contracting mesothelioma cancer.

Denver, CO - LegalView.com, the number one resource for everything legal on the Web, recently reported on its mesothelioma blog that federal funds were denied to cleanup an asbestos-tainted town in Arkansas. Chaffee Crossing is the site of a recent fire, which destroyed nearly 150 World War II (WWII) structures, releasing asbestos fibers and dust into the area potentially increasing the risk of citizens developing mesothelioma. The city requested federal funds from the government to assist the cleanup of the town, which is considered by several citizens there to be a Superfund Site. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is refusing to deem the site a Superfund because it claims that levels of asbestos in the air after the fire were too low to be deemed as such. However, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality found asbestos contamination in some areas to be much higher than EPA tests recorded. For those who live in the area or who have previously been exposed to asbestos, using LegalView's mesothelioma portal to locate a mesothelioma attorney is the best way to protect oneself.

Asbestos is a material that is derived from vermiculate, a mineral often mined for uses in construction and as building insulation. Asbestos was widely used as insulation in many early 20th Century constructions, such as those burned in Chaffee Crossing. However, after discovering the link of inhaling asbestos to an incurable form of lung cancer, the use of asbestos was discontinued and the EPA has spent billions of dollars in the removal of asbestos across the country. Individuals who have been exposed to asbestos are advised to contact an experienced mesothelioma law firm to receive an attorney consultation on developing a mesothelioma lawsuit in which compensatory damages can be sought. Mesothelioma is a painful and deadly illness that takes decades to reveal itself, by which time it can be too late to find ways in paying for medical expenses. Use the mesothelioma portal to learn more about this and other recent asbestos-related news.

Additionally, LegalView offers several other information portals relating to a range of issues such as the Baxter Heparin recall, traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatments and Erb's Palsy jury verdicts. Heparin is a blood thinner injected into patients undergoing heart surgery or similar procedures. It is used to prevent blood clots, which can be fatal during surgery. Recently, the Baxter Healthcare Corporation issued a Heparin recall because several patients had reported severe allergic reactions to the drug, which has been associated with at least 19 patient deaths. LegalView.com reported updates continually to readers as this story unfolded, providing insightful and imperative news for victims of the Heparin recall. Similarly, individuals can use the TBI practice area to learn the most up-to-date news on brain injury lawsuits, jury verdicts, treatments as well as how to locate brain injury lawyers.
