Former First Responder Details Path Toward Healing From PTSD and Overwhelming Life Events
Antioch, CA, August 17, 2022 — As a police officer for 25 years, Norm Wielsch witnessed his share of trauma and would later fall into a downward spiral following his own diagnosis of PTSD. He served 8 years of a 14-year sentence on corruption charges and emerged from federal prison determined to help others — particularly first responders — heal from trauma.
Wielsch’s new book, Christ Centered Healing of Trauma: Healing a Broken Heart (and companion small group study guide), teaches foundational principles and tools for resolving issues related to traumatic life events.
Readers will learn how trauma affects the heart, body and soul; how to manage emotions; how to identify the root cause of emotional pain; and how to begin the healing process.
Through a bible study portion, readers will learn God's plan for salvation and healing. Included are numerous sample prayers to guide readers through the healing process.
Wielsch’s Christ-Centered healing method was originally designed to minister to first responders and combat veterans but is also appropriate for counselors, pastors, chaplains and anyone whose lives are impacted by trauma.
“This book is not only for the victims of trauma, but for their husbands, wives, daughters, sons and parents who suffer right along with them,” Wielsch said. “They are wounded people as well. Hurt people, hurt people. Since our families are the closest to us, we tend to hurt them more than we intend.”
About the Author
Norm Wielsch was a law enforcement officer for over 25 years — 16 of those as an undercover narcotic agent. In 1998, he was diagnosed with an incurable neuro-muscular disease, and after more than 30 surgeries, he became addicted to opioids. Wielsch was diagnosed with PTSD, and then his daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness and given a poor prognosis. In a downward spiral, Wielsch made a series of bad decisions that landed him in federal prison.
While incarcerated, he obtained a master’s degree in Theology and Counseling, a Doctorate in Christian Counseling, and a Drug and Alcohol Counseling Degree. He currently works at a men's residential treatment facility as a registered alcohol and drug counselor and pastoral care provider. He is a working credentialed chaplain who hopes to one day launch a first responder ministry.
Wielsch also has a master’s degree in Law Enforcement Management and is an expert in law enforcement tactics, criminal investigations, pursuit driving, high risk search warrant service, PTSD and the police culture.
PharmAla Biotech First Publicly Traded Company to Produce GMP MDMA
PharmAla's GMP LaNeo™ MDMA has completed all release testing, is ready for export
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 17, 2022 /CNW/ - PharmAla Biotech (CSE: MDMA) (the 'Company') has achieved a historic milestone: it is currently the only publicly-traded company to have produced GMP MDMA at scale. The company believes that it is currently the only source for commercially-available GMP MDMA other than the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). With the release of this large-scale batch of LaNeo™ MDMA Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), PharmAla's GMP value-chain stands ready to support its clinical trial customers and partners globally.
"After a year of intensive work, we're thrilled to be able to announce this historic milestone for the company. As the only GMP MDMA manufacturer in the Americas, we're excited to do our part to alleviate the global backlog of clinical-grade MDMA," said Nick Kadysh, CEO of PharmAla Biotech, and Chair of the Board of Psychedelics Canada. "As research into MDMA dramatically increases and a number of countries begin to move to more permissive 'expanded access' regimes, PharmAla Biotech is perfectly positioned to continue to support scientific discovery by providing the clinical-grade drug product our research partners need."
PharmAla's LaNeo™ MDMA API is scheduled to be formulated into a number of dosage forms, over the coming number of months, with the first being a 40mg capsule. It can also be compounded directly by pharmacists, where permitted by local regulations.
"Access to GMP research materials is often a rate liming step in clinical research; but now with greater access, the science will advance much faster, as will the potential for improving patient care" said Dr. Leah Mayo, incoming Parker Psychedelic Research Chair, University of Calgary.
"Over the past 6 months, we've heard endlessly about the global supply chain crisis in Psychedelic molecules. It's gratifying to now be in a position to assist our partners worldwide by shipping Drug Substance and Product to them, allowing them to get on with their vital research," said Dr. Shane Morris, PharmAla's COO. "We're confident that, once researchers initiate clinical work with PharmAla's LaNeo™ MDMA, it will help drive interest in clinical trials for this impressive drug that several patient groups are urgently requesting."

Ontario Panel of Family Lawyers Finds Clients Prefer Flexibility in Divorce Proceedings Survey conducted by veteran lawyers shows virtual hearings can be a good solution
TORONTO, Ontario—A panel of veteran family lawyers in Ontario led by Russell Alexander say that clients prefer to have the option of virtual hearings, in contrast to a recent decision by Ontario Family Courts that in-person hearings are the presumptive standard.
“Virtual hearings can be a great option because they are dramatically easier for clients and allow more access to attorneys, helping keep costs down and improve legal access in rural areas,” said Alexander, founder of Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers which has offices throughout Ontario. “Clients want the option of either virtual hearings or going in-person if their attorney thinks it might help.”
The ad hoc committee of lawyers opposes new requirements that holding in-person hearings in court be the default option for family law matters such as divorces, arguing that videoconferencing proved an effective and less expensive alternative for many clients during the height of the pandemic.
Many judges switched to holding routine hearings online since the pandemic started which reduced waiting time, increased access to legal help in rural areas and made divorce less stressful for clients. They became so popular that the “Zoom divorce” was written about as a trend by top media outlets, but Ontario’s top judges recently restricted them.
In last week’s one-hour discussion of the policy, Alexander; Brian Galbraith, owner, and founder of Galbraith Family Law; Lisa Gelman, founder of Gelman & Associates; and Nafisa Nazarali, senior managing associate lawyer at Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers said that virtual hearings can make family law more accessible.
“Virtual hearings have been a game-changer for how Ontario residents get divorced and settle other difficult family law issues,” added Alexander. “It would be a shame if court officials turned their backs on this important innovation now.”
Access Brand Management’s Innovative Business Model Builds Global Brands with Customer Evangelists that Drive Sales and Growth in a Non-traditional Way
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A business model, inaugurated in China, and fueled by the Chinese diaspora, is facilitating a new way of doing business. What TikTok did for social sharing, Access Brand Management (ABM) is doing for brands and products. ABM’s insight: The world is awash in great products and brands that never see their way to market. Now, with such ABM’s proprietary turnkey platform, these world-changing products can make it to market and succeed, inspiring an entire ecosystem of small businesses and entrepreneurs whose better products and solutions can now find a path to sales, market penetration, and commercial success.
Powered by ABM, the CRM system of Access Corporate Group, a community of brand entrepreneurs can now build their own business promoting their life-changing products through established social channels. This distinct group of consumer-merchants are the strongest advocates and ambassadors of ABM, bringing a heightened level of influence to generate sales while providing real and insightful customer feedback.
“Sure, there are global platforms where you can list your products for sale, but ABM is the only one that allows our clients to build a distinctive brand,” said Livia Wang, Chief Brand Officer. “Our model is all about efficient brand management at the speed of the internet, that not only sets up our clients for success, but includes a process for customer promotion, acquisition, and sales that leads the online retail industry.” With over 100 international brands on its roster and 100,000 resellers worldwide, ABM’s proven success platform is expanding to North America. But it’s a two-way street: ABM is also looking for excellent North American products to introduce to Asia and the world— premium, innovative products that complement modern healthy lifestyles, that surprise and delight customers.
Key to ABM’s success is the Chinese diaspora, Chinese consumers who have settled in international cities outside of China. These new, affluent, and brand-driven consumers are always in discovery mode, looking for the next branded product that enhances and makes their lives more beautiful and enjoyable. According to a recent research report*, conducted online in China and Hong Kong, and published by Hamazaki Wong, RIWI, and Vivintel, more than 130 million Chinese adults are considering migration to the United States in the next two years, with 60 million Chinese adults considering relocating to Canada. These large numbers are unlikely to be realized (people change their minds, destination country quotas are restrictive, immigration policy, family circumstances may change, etc.) but their magnitude and effect on the world — and consumer markets — cannot be overlooked.
By following its customers, ABM has cultivated KOLs (key opinion leaders) and KOCs (key opinion consumers), a global army of evangelists, for their products and brands. KOLs are important, but equally significant, ABM has cultivated a world of KOCs – key opinion consumers – ABM ambassadors who are true product advocates. KOCs are buyers who influence their immediate circle of family and friends, creating authentic engagements that complement KOLs in a meaningful way. In this way, ABM is fostering a non-traditional merit-based marketplace that’s accessible, turnkey, and optimized to go-to-market quickly and efficiently, without the need for major start-up processes that are associated with traditional brand management.
ABM has identified Canada as its next expansion country. Hot Expo, the highly acclaimed international brand exhibition curated by ABM, debuted in North Vancouver on July 17 and 18. By staging a trendy two-day brand exhibition, ABM presented Canada with 10 popular brands from Australia, New Zealand and the United States in wellness, beauty and lifestyle industries. The event attracted over 2,500 attendees from the Greater Vancouver Area, including buyers, media, entrepreneurs and influencers whose lists of online followers exceeds 10 million. It is believed to be the largest celebrity brand-selection event in Canada in 2022 attracting thousands of attendees.
“With its rich diversity of customers and acceptance of cultures, the Canadian market is a natural next step for Access. Our launch in July along with our engagement with KOLs and KOCs has already proven fruitful. We look forward to fostering long and prosperous relationships powered by ABM,” said Ms. Wang.

Fraser Institute News Release: Federal government’s proposed drug changes mean potentially lower prices but reduced access and innovation
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ottawa’s drug pricing changes may result in lower costs, but will also likely reduce Canadians’ access to life-saving pharmaceuticals and potentially discourage investment in Canada’s pharmaceutical sector, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“The core issue is that Ottawa’s changes to the Patented Medicines Regulations are intended to reduce prices, but will also likely result in delayed – or worse, limited – access to new life-saving medicines,” said Kristina Acri, Chair of the Economics and Business Department at Colorado College, senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of An Evaluation of the Proposed PMPRB Amendments.
The Patented Medicines Prices Review Board’s (PMPRB) recently announced amendments to the Patented Medicines Regulations.
The amendments notably change the group of countries used for comparison to determine drug prices in Canada. Specifically, Switzerland and the United States have been removed in favour of a set of countries that generally have lower prices, but also access to fewer new and innovative drugs.
These changes will have significant consequences for Canadians because the potential lower prices will discourage pharmaceutical companies from launching new products in Canada. Moreover, Ottawa’s changes designed to reduce drug prices will also reduce the financial incentives to develop and manufacture new medicines, treatments, and cures in Canada.
Crucially, COVID-19 vaccines were effectively exempt from regular PMPRB pricing oversight, suggesting that the federal government is aware of the discouraging effect such restrictions have on innovation in the pharmaceutical industry.
“Affordability is important but so, too, is making sure Canadians have access to the best medicines in the world,” Acri said.
“Ottawa’s proposed changes to drive down drug prices will have an impact on peoples’ access to new life-saving medicines, and Canadians should be aware of the trade-off the government is making.”

How to Get Your Tooth Replaced After Knocking it out During Training
Training hard for your sport or just to meet your fitness goals often means pushing your body to its limits. While you might do your best to avoid injuries, the truth is that there is always some degree of risk in every sport. Knocking out your tooth hurts, but you don’t have to lose your winning smile. Make sure to follow these steps after a dental injury to set yourself up for a full recovery.
Apply First Aid Right Away
Dental injuries can often be quite traumatic. You’ll want to apply gauze or a clean washcloth to any mouth wounds that are bleeding. If you can find the tooth that got knocked out, then you can also preserve it by placing it in a glass of milk. You might also need to apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek near the injury to reduce swelling. Once you’ve stabilized your injury, you can then contact a dentist to arrange for emergency care.
Strengthen Your Tooth With a Crown
At your dental appointment, the dentist will check to determine the full extent of your injuries. In some cases, the whole tooth might not have been knocked out. If this is the case, then dental crowns are an option that can cover up the broken portion of your tooth, so that you don’t have to plan for a full extraction.
Follow the After Care Instructions
Getting a crown or other type of tooth repair is a relatively simple procedure. However, you will need to practice some self-care to ensure that your teeth and gums heal properly. Before you leave the office, make sure you understand and can do all of the follow-up instructions. Learning how to brush and floss around your crown makes it possible to prevent infections and pain.
Find Ways to Protect Your Teeth
Once you’ve been through a dental emergency, you might worry about it happening again. Your tooth restoration is strong, but it is also vulnerable to breaking, just like your natural teeth. Talk to your dentist about wearing a mouthguard during your sports activities. Wearing a custom-fit mouthguard helps to reduce pressure on your teeth if you experience a blow to your mouth.
Waiting too long to seek dental care can dramatically reduce your odds of a full recovery. If just a piece of your tooth got chipped, then you have options that can help you preserve the majority of its natural structure. Always check with your dentist to explore your options for tooth repair and replacement, and you’ll be able to look forward to flashing your grin during your next competition.
