Global Healthcare System On Precipice Of Extraordinary Change
Boston, MA, June 24, 2020 — When was the last time you drove to your local bank to deposit a check? Or held a paper airline ticket in your hand? Technology has drastically transformed how we interact with businesses, but the healthcare industry has been slow to adapt … until now.
“If the difference between evolution and revolution is the speed of change, then healthcare is now in the mode of revolutionary change,” notes global business expert Harry Glorikian.
He points to the uptick in electronic storage of medical records, convenient online patient portals, and innovative applications of data to help pinpoint outbreaks and expose drug-resistant diseases. We have entered a rapidly evolving era of medicine that values data-driven approaches and prioritizes evidence-based care, and the best is yet to come, Glorikian predicts.
In MoneyBall Medicine: Thriving in the New Data-Driven Healthcare Market, Glorikian (along with award-winning healthcare writer Malorye Allison Branca) show through examples what a new data-driven healthcare system could look like when implemented on a global basis. The authors reveal where data and cutting-edge analytics are already advancing healthcare and creating new and evolving business opportunities. Data and technology are already impacting drug development, precision medicine, and how patients with rare diseases are diagnosed and treated. Digital devices and artificial intelligence are helping doctors do their jobs faster and with greater accuracy.
The book includes interviews with dozens of healthcare leaders, and describes the business challenges and opportunities arising for those working in one of the most vibrant sectors of the world’s economy. The authors map out many of the changes taking place, and describe how they are impacting everyone from patients to researchers to insurers, and outline some predictions for the healthcare industry in the years to come.
The author makes a compelling case for embracing technology and the use of data to revolutionize the healthcare system for the greater good of patients and healthcare professionals alike.
Author Harry Glorikian also hosts the MoneyBall Medicine™ Podcast, a series all about the data-driven transformation of the healthcare and life sciences landscape. An influential global business expert with more than three decades of experience building successful ventures in the U.S. and around the world, Glorikian is well known for his achievements in the life sciences, healthcare, diagnostics and healthcare IT industries.

Bring Home a Westerlay Orchid and Experience Powerful Plant Healing, Including Reduced Stress and Better Sleep
Add an orchid bloom to any indoor space to unlock science-backed health and wellness benefits
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (June 24th, 2020): When customers bring home a Westerlay Orchid bloom, they get far more than a beautiful decor piece. Science suggests that Orchids are in a class of houseplants which can offer a variety of positive mental benefits, including an uplifted mood, sharpened focus, and more restful sleep. For three generations, Westerlay Orchids has built a solid reputation for producing some of the Pacific Coast’s most beautiful and unique flowers, cultivated right in the heart of Carpinteria with effortless at-home care and environmental impact in mind. Now, amid the battle against COVID-19 as well as several social and political stressors, their innovative team shares how orchids just might be one of the best-kept secrets to achieving balance and better health.
“The health and wellness aspects of adding living plants to any space has been well documented by the scientific community,” explains Westerlay Orchids Director of Sales Jeff Karpman. “With a kaleidoscope of incredible colors and unique adaptability to a range of environments, our premium orchids are a great place to start.”
A team of Japanese researchers found that actively caring for and observing an indoor plant can help reduce work stress while supporting overall mental health. The presence of a plant is thought to be instrumental in inducing periodic mindfulness breaks, which can help to relax the mind, lower the heart rate, and improve sleep.
Adding plants to just one room of your home or office can work wonders for air quality, removing up to 60% of airborne molds and bacteria. They also help to regulate the environment, acting as a natural humidifier during particularly dry seasons. Some studies reveal that regular exposure to living green plants can boost concentration, memory, and creativity. Students and employees with a view of natural flora have also been found to enjoy higher self-esteem, greater productivity, and less irritation from symptoms of seasonal allergies and asthma.
Inspire any home or office space with a breathtaking Westerlay Orchids bloom and experience the health and wellness benefits for yourself. Share the healing with loved ones across the Pacific Coast through the company’s “Box of Orchids” program, order direct on www.BoxOfOrchids.com.

This year’s Peoples Under Threatindex underscores how, while some threatened minority and indigenous communities are systematically more exposed to the illness, others are scapegoated in conspiracy theories regarding the origin of the pandemic, while others face difficulties accessing healthcare services due to their remote locations or systemic discrimination.
The index uses authoritative indicators to identify those countries around the world most at risk of genocide, mass killing or systematic violent repression. Although the highest-ranked countries remain mostly the same as last year – with Syria, Somalia, South Sudan and Afghanistan at the top, closely followed by Yemen, Iraq, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, then Sudan, Pakistan, and Libya, this year’s edition of the ranking marks a clear rise for countries such as Burkina Faso, jumping 25 places to the 45th position, Indonesia, up 18 places to the 51st position, and Cambodia, now 46th, up 17 places compared to the 2019 edition of the index.
‘Coronavirus has made all people feel under threat, but for minorities and indigenous peoples living under threat is neither “unprecedented” nor the “new normal”, but merely an extension of daily vulnerabilities, augmented by the virus’, says Joshua Castellino, MRG’s Executive Director. ‘Communities affected by violence and conflict are exposed to daily hardships, but as the virus hits, these will be exacerbated, calling for urgent attention to the notion of human security and ensuring it is a right for all.’
Regarding Africa in particular, there are five countries among the top ten. Looking further down the list, the top 20 include Nigeria, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Burundi, Eritrea and Mali.
‘All the factors that cause conflict are present in these countries. Climate change, socio-economic inequalities, competition for scarce resources and bad governance are all combining and driving communities against each other’, explains Agnes Kabajuni, MRG’s Africa Regional Manager. ‘The proliferation of firearms and extremist ideologies are all but making it easy for conflicts to ignite and escalate.’
A key issue that runs throughout the ranking is the absence of good governance. It is in situations of political instability that COVID-19 hits minorities and indigenous peoples the hardest, reinforcing the precarious situation of populations that have previously been affected by economic collapse, mass migration and displacement as well as food scarcity, such as Venezuela’s Afro-descendants and indigenous peoples. Armed conflicts moreover often bring about (or reinforce) healthcare limitations in capacity and procurement, leaving existing neglected minorities in even greater risk of sickness and death, such as Iraq’s Yezidis, Bahá’ís or Mandaeans.
‘International leaders are fond of saying that we’re in in this together, but in reality both governments and armed opposition groups in the world’s conflict zones are weaponizing the pandemic to gain a short-term advantage, seeking to deny medical or sanitary supplies to their enemies or even targeting hospitals and clinics for attack’, emphasises Mark Lattimer, Executive Director of the Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights.
The millions of people displaced by these conflicts and living in crowded refugee camps across the world are particularly at risk of COVID-19. Isolated by lockdown measures, deprived of medical aid, supplies and personnel, displaced populations often living in informal settlements constitute worrying potential centres of diffusion for the virus. The camps located near Idlib in Syria and Yemen’s Marib governorate are at especially high risk, as are the camps around Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, housing nearly 1 million Rohingya who have been rendered stateless but have so far survived ethnic cleansing of such intensity that the Myanmar government stands accused of genocide.
Although some reassuring news of COVID-related ceasefires have somewhat watered down the risks to which war-affected populations might otherwise have been exposed, the pandemic has also strongly hindered international solidarity and cooperation. As the world’s borders closed abruptly, funds as well as the public’s attention was drawn to an almost exclusively domestic crisis management agenda, depriving countries such as Yemen and Libya of much-needed international cooperation in mediation efforts. International human rights enforcement mechanisms, including crucial investigations into alleged abuses, have also been suspended in numerous countries.
This is the 15th year that the Peoples under Threat index has been released by MRG, joined in recent years by the Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights. It is based on indicators from authoritative sources and continues to provide early warning of potential mass atrocities.
‘As levels of threat rise and mutate, we look to reflecting these more clearly, and predict that as global levels of uncertainty grow, the threat levels will increase’, Castellino adds. ‘We said “never again” to genocide when the UN was built, yet today rising xenophobia, hostility and scarcity of resources make for a toxic mix that needs to be followed closely, combined with innovative action toward mitigation and change, as called for by social movements including climate activists and #BlackLivesMatter’.
The 2020 edition of the Peoples Under Threat index focuses on the various ways the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening the situation of minorities and indigenous peoples at risk across the globe. The index combines internationally recognised rankings to identify those countries around the world most at risk of genocide, mass killing or systematic violent repression.
The calculation of the index includes indicators of democracy or good governance from the World Bank; conflict data from the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research and the Center for Systemic Peace; data on the number of refugees, internally displaced persons and other populations of concern from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); indicators of group division or elite factionalisation from the Fund for Peace and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; the US State Failure Task Force data on prior genocides and politicides; and the country credit risk classification published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (as a proxy for trade openness).

Poor People’s Campaign releases response to needs of 140 million poor, low-income people
The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is releasing a comprehensive policy platform designed to heal the nation on Saturday in conjunction with its digital social justice assembly.
The Poor People’s Moral Justice Jubilee Policy Platform is a sweeping, transformational response to the needs and demands of the 140 million people who are poor or low-income and are struggling to make ends meet in this country. In the richest country in the world, 700 people a day die from poverty – 250,000 people a year. Those numbers were a reality even before COVID-19. The Poor People’s Campaign centers its demands around the five interlocking injustices of systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and militarism and a distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism.
“This is not a left or right agenda, but a moral fusion agenda, rooted in our deepest moral and Constitutional values,” said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Campaign. “This agenda makes it clear that the failure to address the interlocking injustices costs lives and is morally indefensible, constitutionally inconsistent and economically insane.”
The platform is being released at 7 a.m. Saturday, June 20, ahead of the Campaign’s digital Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington.
It indicates the Campaign’s policy and legislative priorities around voting rights, police violence, indigenous rights, immigrant rights, education, welfare, jobs, education, housing, water, war, wealth inequality and more.
“We have been putting this nation’s abundant resources into punishing, criminalizing and killing the poor,” said Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the campaign. “We need to be building a society where everybody can survive and, more than that, thrive.”
After years of organizing across 45 states, the campaign continues to shift the narrative on what is necessary and possible. As the country approaches the July 4th birthday of the nation, the Moral Justice Jubilee Platform takes up the moral and Constitutional values of this country and reminds us all of the country we have yet to be.
The Campaign is co-sponsored by Repairers of the Breach, whose president is Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, and the Kairos Center, whose director is Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.
___The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, is building a generationally transformative digital gathering called the Mass Poor People’s Assembly and Moral March on Washington, on June 20, 2020. At that assembly, we will demand that both major political parties address the interlocking injustices of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, militarism and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism by implementing our Moral Agenda.
NCOA Study: 3 Million Low-Income Older Adults Face Systemic Obstacles to Programs that Help Pay for Health Care
Policy solutions would make access to benefits easier for low-income individuals
Arlington, VA, June 22, 2020 — Today, the National Council on Aging (NCOA), a trusted national leader working to ensure that every person can age well, issued a study analyzing the systemic obstacles that keep nearly 3 million eligible older adults and people with disabilities from accessing programs designed to help pay for their health care and medicine. The issue brief also offers policy solutions to ensure that all eligible low-income individuals receive this critical assistance.
Millions of financially vulnerable older adults and people with disabilities who have trouble affording prescription drugs and health care qualify for Medicare Savings Programs (MSPs), which help pay for Medicare premiums and cost sharing, and the Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) (also known as Extra Help), which helps pay for prescription drugs. However, almost 3 million of these eligible individuals are not enrolled in the programs.
The issue brief estimates eligibility, enrollment, and take-up rates in MSPs and LIS among the age 65 and older non-institutionalized population for even years between 2008 and 2014.
“About two-thirds of people eligible for MSPs are enrolled, but another 2.5 million Medicare beneficiaries are missing out on the benefits of this program,” said Dr. Susan Silberman, NCOA Senior Director, Research and Evaluation. “While some of these individuals may be making an informed decision to not apply, many are unaware that they are eligible or have found the enrollment process too intimidating to attempt or too difficult to complete.”
NCOA recommends a range of policy solutions that would improve access to these important Medicare low-income assistance programs. They include:
Loosening eligibility standards, which can have the dual effect of making more people eligible and making enrollment easier
Aligning eligibility standards more closely across programs, particularly between MSP and Part D LIS
Simplifying the enrollment process to make signing up as automatic as possible
Allocating more resources for benefits outreach and enrollment to find and assist eligible individuals in applying for the programs
The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is a trusted national leader working to ensure that every person can age well. Since 1950, our mission has not changed: Improve the lives of millions of older adults, especially those who are struggling. NCOA empowers people with the best solutions to improve their own health and economic security—and we strengthen government programs that we all depend on as we age. Every year, millions of people use our signature programs BenefitsCheckUp®, My Medicare Matters®, and the Aging Mastery Program® to age well. By offering online tools and collaborating with a nationwide network of partners, NCOA is working to improve the lives of 40 million older adults by 2030. Learn more at ncoa.org and @NCOAging.
Temporary Isolation Can Be TheOpportunity To Permanently Transform Your Weight And Health
Los Angeles, CA, June 22, 2020 ̶ Not sure how to eat and stay healthy this quarantine season without resorting to your familiar diet of spaghetti, bread, pizza, and sugar? Candice Rosen, R.N., MSW, and author of the upcoming book Forget Dieting: It’s All About Data-Driven Fueling! encourages "trophology," or "food combining," which is one of the foundations of Rosen's Data-Driven Fueling Plan. As you combine foods, Rosen adds that "monitoring blood glucose is the key to weight gain vs. weight loss; good health vs. poor health."
1. Make Wednesdays and Fridays Vegan Days. According to Rosen, avoid dairy! Try vegan yogurts, cheeses, and milks. Dairy is inflammatory and will deplete your bones of calcium (it’s true!). There are unsweetened milks of almond, hemp, cashew, etc., and all are available in grocery stores. A low blood glucose breakfast idea would be a sprouted grain English muffin, spread with a tofu or nut-based cream cheese, some sliced tomatoes, and topped off with sea salt or Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend.
2. Eat fruits that are high in fiber. Apples, bananas, oranges, berries ̶ the list goes on! You will still want to avoid sugary fruit juices, as well as very sweet fruits like pineapples and mangos while trying to lose weight. Fruit is always eaten alone with two exceptions: they can be added to a vegan smoothie and they can be eaten with a nut or seed butter. These healthy fats reduce the chance of a blood glucose spike.
3. Nothing white. To lower blood glucose, do not eat or combine animal proteins with any white potatoes, bread, rice, or pasta… EVER. Sorry!
4. Eat More Sweet Potatoes. Think wholesome, nutritious, responsibly grown, pancreatic-friendly foods (food that doesn’t raise your blood glucose) like sweet potatoes and yams, which are an incredibly nutritious carbohydrate that are low in sugar levels and provide fiber. They’re best consumed baked or steamed, but can also be cooked in a variety of other ways. A great lunch or dinner option (and it is inexpensive) is a baked sweet potato, split down the middle with a large spoonful of black beans, a tablespoon of tomatillo salsa, and a side salad. To lower blood sugar, eat them with veggies and plant-based protein together… NOT MEAT!
5. Try Fish. Give your body a break from animal protein. Red meats increase inflammation and provide poor sources of fat. However, if you crave protein, try fish! For those who aren’t allergic, fish is a fantastic source of protein that’s low in carbohydrates and contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, one of the few consumable healthy fats! If consuming fish raw, remember only sashimi-style – no white rice! To lower blood sugar, combine fish with veggies, not starches or fruit.

Momentous Releases Performance Collagen Product Scientifically Proven to Reduce Pain, Support Joint Health, and Increase Cartilage Mass
Beyond hair, skin and nails, Momentous collagen addresses joints, ligaments, chronic pain and injury prevention by combining PEPTIPLUS® and FORTIGEL® collagen with vitamin C
(Jackson Hole, Wyo.) June 23, 2020 – Momentous, a premium sports nutrition company, is proud to announce the release of a new addition to its product line: Collagen Peptides. Recognizing the problems that joint health presents to athletes, Momentous engineered a unique formula that combines PEPTIPLUS® and FORTIGEL® collagen with vitamin C to accelerate injury recovery, improve connective tissue health and durability, and reduce joint pain.
“No matter how durable an athlete is, he or she starts losing collagen mass eventually, which can impact the resilience of joints and duration of careers,” said Momentous CEO and founder Matt Wan. “We wanted to create a collagen peptide formula sourced from the highest-quality ingredients, and enhanced with the ability to target joins and ligaments. With Momentous Collagen Peptides, athletes of every age can safeguard their joints, recover faster from injury, and function better on the field and in everyday life.”
Collagen is a protein fiber that transmits force, absorbs energy, and is found in connective tissues such as cartilage (70 percent of which is collagen), tendons, bones, skin, and ligaments. As we age, both collagen mass and synthesis decrease. This is bad enough for the 25 percent of American adults who struggle with joint problems, but for athletes, it can predispose them to new injuries, extend rehabilitation of existing ones, and contribute to chronic pain. A decline in joint health can limit performance, compromise vitality, and eventually force an athlete to retire.
Momentous Collagen Peptides meets these challenges head on, providing a rich source of PEPTIPLUS® collagen sourced from the finest US grass-fed bovine and FORTIGEL® collagen hydrolysate derived from pasture-raised German bovine. FORTIGEL® is scientifically proven to improve the rate of collagen synthesis, reduce joint pain during activity and rest, and increase collagen mass. Momentous added vitamin C to its unique formula because studies show it improves collagen availability. As with Performance Creatine, Momentous Sleep, and the company’s line of grass-fed whey and plant-based proteins, Collagen Peptides was developed with a team of Performance Engineers, tested by elite athletes, coaches, and nutritionists, and evaluated by the rigorous NSF Certified for Sport® and Informed Sport programs.
“Momentous Collagen Peptides is helping me bounce back from my second ACL surgery,” said pro skier and Momentous ambassador Johnny Collinson. “It reduced the pain in my knee and I can tell a difference in how my wrists, elbows, and shoulders feel during and after the upper-body training sessions I’ve been doing to prepare for getting back on the mountain.”
About Momentous
Momentous was founded in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 2016 with the goal to empowers the relentless pursuit of progress in athlete health and wellness. We strive to create no-compromise products that support the endless improvement of athletic performance. Our mission drove us to seek out the absolute best knowledge of nutritional supplements in order to be able to deliver formulas with complete transparency and free of fillers and inferior ingredients.
