Learning the Benefits of Purified Water with Drew Orton

Clean, healthy water should taste fresh, be free of odor and color, and should feel good on your skin when you bathe. Reverse Osmosis uses a process that reverses the flow of water in a natural process of osmosis so that water passes from a more concentrated solution to a more dilute solution through a semipermeable membrane. For cancer patients: Your cancer treatment (drugs and chemo) can lead to severe and chronic dehydration and contaminants in water can present a risk to your weakened immune system. It is recommended that all chemo patients drink lots of clean purified water to help them cope with the stressful nature of cancer treatments and to protect their kidneys from the toxic waste buildup caused by cancer drugs. Water has played a large role in the lives of the Orton Family. Before founding Watercure in 1986, Drew's father, Lance Orton, was a Merchant Marine. An expert on the water, Lance served as a naval captain on many notable merchant ships. He has become a respected speaker and mentor on topics such as water chemistry, contamination, and purification. Lance's son Drew also has water in his genes. He began helping out at his father's company at the young age of 14. After serving in the United States Navy, Drew joined Watercure full time, helping his family business grow and flourish. Currently, Drew serves as CEO while simultaneously working as a firefighter and paramedic for a local WNY municipality. Pure, clean water is more than a job, it's a way of life for Drew, his wife Ann, and their four children. The family purifies water for all of their needs, from drinking water to the irrigation of their organic garden. Whether Drew is working with one of his renowned customers such as The American Cancer Society or a local family that wants to make sure their well water is safe, Drew relates on both a professional and personal level. Watercure USA has grown over the last 35 years, offering all types of water purification systems. All the while, Lance and Drew Orton have kept the company ship on course with a focus on community and family. Watercure donates frequently through church and community fundraisers to ensure that the people who need it the most have access to clean water.

What's the Buzz With CBD With Michael Nicosia and Maria Provenzano

Michael Nicosia is a Buffalo born entrepreneur. His interest in CBD began a few years ago when some friends invited him to a Cannabis Convention in NYC. He decided to try a sample of concentrated CBD and within the hour, he felt a sense of calm and focus. He spent the day at the convention talking to a number of people in the Hemp and Marijuana industry, everyone from doctors and lawyers to growers and extractors. It was a day of information overload. A couple months later he was home with his two year old daughter who had a horrible case of hand, foot and mouth disease. Her fever was spiking, the sores in her mouth were so painful and she was not eating. Her pediatrician said; other than children's Tylenol and ibuprofen~ there was nothing they could do, the virus needed to run its course. Not satisfied with that answer, Michael remembered the conversation about the benefits of CBD. He immediately called a doctor that he met at the convention and asked if it was safe for his daughter. His response was yes, it's not only safe, it's also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Michael found the woman's card and ordered the CBD for an overnight delivery. Once applied, his daughters fever came down and the pain subsided. Twenty-four hours later, the sores in her mouth were gone. After this experience, Michael continued to do more research on CBD and the benefits it could bring to the human body by helping to restore balance. He started incorporating CBD into his own life by using a 1,000 mg full spectrum oil and topical for acute shoulder pain from working out. The topical worked great for immediate pain relief but after about a month o fusing the oil daily, he noticed his shoulder was getting stronger and he was no longer in pain. His workouts became more effective, and he was losing weight (which was his goal). He started drinking less alcohol and overall felt less anxiety and pain. These experiences influenced the creation of Lions Mane Infusions and Michael was inspired by the concept that 'the thicker and fuller the mane, the stronger the lion'. His goal is to develop a lifestyle brand which can help people restore balance and live healthier. From the inception of LionsMane Infusions, his significant other Maria has been helping with research and development of products, along with assistance with marketing and branding; which aligns with her studies and experience.

Glyphosate, Cancer and her book 'The Monsanto Papers' With Carey Gillam

Carey is a veteran journalist, researcher, and writer with more than twenty-five years of experience in the news industry covering corporate America. Her most recent book, The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, and One Man's Search for Justice (Publication Date: March 2, 2021) tells the inside story of Lee Johnson's landmark lawsuit against Monsanto after a workplace accident left Lee doused in Monsanto's herbicide and facing a deadly cancer. Lee was the first to take Monsanto to trial, drawing attention from around the world as his case became one of the most dramatic legal battles in courthouse history. Her 2017 book about pesticide dangers, Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer and the Corruption of Science, won the 2018 Rachel Carson Book Award from the Society of Environmental Journalists and has become a part of the curriculum in several university environmental health programs. As a former senior correspondent for Reuters' international news service, Gillam specializes in finding the story behind the spin—uncovering both the risks and rewards of the evolving new age of agriculture. Gillam's areas of experience include biotech crop technology, agrichemicals and pesticide product development, and the environmental impacts of American food production. Gillam's reporting and writing have led her to become recognized as an international expert on corporate control of agriculture and the health and environmental impacts of a pesticide-dependent food system. She was asked to testify before the European Parliament in 2017 about her findings and was an invited speaker at the World Forum for Democracy in Strasbourg, France, in 2019. She also has been a featured speaker at events throughout North America, Australia, The Netherlands, Brussels, and France. Gillam left Reuters in late 2015, becoming a research director for the non-profit organization U.S. Right to Know, an investigative group focused on exposing corporate wrongdoing and government failures that threaten the integrity of our food system, our environment, and our health. She also writes for The Guardian. Gillam resides in Overland Park, Kansas, with her husband and three children.
