A Bold Move: 79-year old champion bodybuilder competes against 40-, 50-, 60-year olds!

Leave a comment

Amador County, CA, May 08, 2015 — /EPR HEALTHCARE NEWS/ — A career spanning nearly 50 years isn’t over yet for Amador County veteran bodybuilder and one of the original Mr. Venice Beach competitors, Arthur Peacock. Peacock, who is turning 80 this year, takes the stage with 40-, 50-, and 60-year olds this Saturday, May 9 at the Contra Costa Bodybuilding Championship, to be held in the Chabot College Performing Arts Theatre.

“There is no doubt that this is a career turning point for me. It’s what I’ve been training for my entire life, but especially the last three years. I’ll have 60-seconds to prove myself—my physique and my poses—with competitors between 40 and 69. That’s potentially almost 40 years younger than me.”

Peacock chose to compete in three classes for a couple of reasons—no 70s bracket existed, and he has every intention of continuing his legacy to inspire others who want to follow their bodybuilding dreams.

“I want people to see me and say, ‘I can do that. Look at that guy up there at 80.’ I want to inspire to the end; I’ve done it all my life. I’ve had world champions come up to me and say, ‘I remember when you stopped and spoke to me as a teenager, and now, 20 years later, I’m the number one guy. Thank you.’”

It was in 1965, as an already athletic young man in his early 30s, an avid swimmer, surfer cyclist, and hiker, that Peacock went as a spectator with his friends to his first bodybuilding competition. “I knew I wanted to do that—that I could do that.” And that he did, taking home his first trophy in the 1968 Mr. Venice Beach competition, which gave rise to a half-century career with more than 50 major titles earned.

1 800-GET-THIN Says New “Whistle Blower” Lawsuit A Fantasy And Sham

Leave a comment

1 800 GET THIN has called a lawsuit filed against it a fantasy and lacking in credibility. The lawsuit, Meyle v. 1 800 GET THIN, was filed in LA Superior Court (BC486169) on Thursday, and charges that San Diego Ambulatory Surgery Center failed to properly sterilize its instruments on December 30 and 31 of 2011. However, Konrad Trope, the attorney for the surgery enter, said that Jessica Meyle, the plaintiff, sent an email on January 5, 2012 which acknowledged the instruments were, in fact, properly sterilized. The email from Jessica Meyle said: “…it [the sterilizer] passed!!!!:):):) Mejid is looking at the autoclave now. He says the problem may have been that we removed the Bowie Dicks too quickly. He recommends to crack the door & leave the tests in the autoclave for 20 minutes. Thank you, Jessica”.

Trope stated “this email conclusively proves that the plaintiffs filed a false claim with the court knowing full well that the sterilizer worked.” Trope added that “it is improper that the plaintiffs’ attorneys Alexander Robertson and John Walker filed this lawsuit without doing an appropriate investigation of this false allegation as required by law.”

Trope further stated that “the plaintiffs and their attorneys are looking for a fast buck with false allegations.”

1 800 GET THIN is a marketing firm and does not perform medical procedures. The plaintiffs’ attorneys Robertson and Walker recently dismissed 1 800 GET THIN from their prior “whistleblower” lawsuit. 1 800 GET THIN will challenge this lawsuit as well. Trope added that “the plaintiffs and their attorneys have gone ahead and filed false claims which will inevitably result in their suit being dismissed with the strong likelihood that they will face a lawsuit for malicious prosecution.”

Trope has challenged the plaintiffs to explain the contradiction between their claims, the emails, and the written records. The record of quality medical care and safety in San Diego Ambulatory Surgery Center is excellent.

Trope says he is deeply concerned about Jessica Meyle’s criminal history and credibility. “She has a conviction for Retail Theft in Pennsylvania in the case of Commonwealth v. Jessica Gordon (her maiden name), in case number CP-23-CR-0007812-2006.”

Substance Abuse Rehabilitation in the Finest Luxury Facility

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive treatment center on the California coast, has long been a transformational force in the field of rehabilitation and recovery. Now, Sunset is announcing its redoubled efforts to provide its clients with a private and dignified healing experience.

Addiction is a crippling disease. To succumb to Substance Abuse is to be stripped of one’s self-esteem, and one’s sense of self-control. The logical corollary, of course, is that addiction treatment must first aim to help patients learn to feel good about themselves again. In the end, there’s no other route to sustained and sustainable recovery.

That concern for emotional well-being lies at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale residents from every corner of the globe. Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering self-affirming care to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client’s feelings always come first.

“Our clients invariably come to us with negative self-concepts,” says Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite. “Our first job is to help them see themselves in a new light. With our advanced dual-diagnosis techniques and intensive depression treatment programs, we’ve had great success in creating the right kind of change.”

It’s that kind of success that is precisely what separates Sunset from its competitors.

It’s one thing for a treatment facility to pay lip service to the importance of psychological healing. It’s quite another for that facility to actually put principle into practice. Many of the most high-priced treatment clinics in Los Angeles only superficially address the emotional needs of their residents—with disastrous consequences for those residents and their families.

Taite argues that those kinds of shortcomings are absolutely inexcusable.

“Rehab is a life and death issue,” Taite said. “At Sunset Malibu, we understand that. We know what’s at stake in the fight against addiction, and we commit ourselves to honoring the trust our clients put in us. As we see it, no inferior level of service is ever acceptable.”

Addiction is a pernicious and destructive foe. It is not, however, an unconquerable one. Sunset Malibu’s long record of success proves that effective rehabilitation really does change lives. For Sunset’s successful graduates, that lesson has made all the difference in the world.

Addiction Recovery at an Unparalleled Recovery Destination

Sunset Malibu, an exclusive treatment center on the California coast, has long been a transformational force in the field of rehabilitation and recovery. Now, Sunset has redoubled its efforts to help its residents learn to heal themselves.

Addiction treatment isn’t a spectator sport. On the contrary, rehab patients must play active roles in their own recovery. The catch, of course, is that those patients need ample support in the fight against addiction—which explains why the most successful treatment centers are those which first aim to empower their clients. In the end, it is the only proven way to ensure the effectiveness of the healing process.

Those considerations are at the heart of Sunset Malibu’s treatment philosophy.

With its world-class caregivers and elegant accommodations, Sunset Malibu is an unparalleled recovery destination. The center has always catered to upscale residents from every corner of the globe, whether they are seeking treatment for alcoholism or even Addiction Cure.

Now Sunset is renewing its commitment to its core values, with the goal of delivering empowering support to individuals who seek it. At Sunset Malibu, the client always comes first.

“Real recovery has to occur from the inside out,” said Sunset Malibu owner Richard Taite. “No one can help you if you refuse to be helped, and no one can heal if you lack the strength to heal yourself. Our treatment programs at Sunset Malibu are specially designed to give residents the skills and strength they’ll need to get where they’re trying to go.”

That focus on personal strength and self-efficacy is precisely what sets Sunset apart from its competitors.

There are plenty of “luxury” treatment facilities in California. All of them make bold promises to their clients, and many really do have the best interests of their residents at heart. Unfortunately, far too many exclusive clinics lead their patients to believe that rehab can or should be a passive process. More often than not, this sort of misleading rhetoric dooms those patients to long-term failure.

Under the circumstances, says Taite, those kinds of shortcomings are absolutely unforgivable.

“Our clients look to us for life-saving care,” Taite said. “We owe it to them and to their loved ones to live up to our responsibility. That’s why we’re so firmly committed to delivering holistic and empowering care, with everything from specialized depression treatment to advanced emotional counseling programs.”

Addiction ruins lives. Addiction treatment can help to solve the problem, but only if it’s specially designed to help victims win the fight on their own terms. Sunset Malibu has long been recognized for its commitment to its individual clients. As those clients have learned firsthand, there’s no more effective approach to the healing process.

Sunset Malibu is a Pain Killer Addiction cure center located in Malibu, California.

Their world class staff pays attention to you on an individual basis – this is an absolutely first class facility looking more like a five star resort than a treatment center. They also state that they have an unparalleled success guarantee, which is worth looking at. An after-care program enables guests at this alcohol rehab center to succeed. With the facility overlooking the Pacific Ocean the setting boasts a relaxing combination of sunshine, fresh air, lush gardens, sandy beaches and soothing waves.

They value and make use of a variety of philosophies in their treatment plans, allowing a unique degree of flexibility for customizing treatment to suit the specific needs of each of their patients, ensuring the best outcome from the guest’s stay.

Reading through the information about their treatment programs, you’ll notice that the word “comfort” appears frequently. There’s a reason for this.

Recognizing this, Cliffside Malibu has gone to great lengths to make everything else about a patient’s stay as comfortable as possible. Residents of the drug and alcohol rehab center are there to be treated for their addictions, not to be punished for their addictions. They are treated with the respect that they deserve and enjoy the luxuries that help make treatment a positive experience.

Cliffside Malibu know that a little comfort goes a long way on the path to recovery, so they offer residents a wide range of recreational activities (such as hiking and beach walks), the best in food, as well as lavish spa treatments such as facials, manicures and pedicures. There is nothing more relaxing and calming to the soul than a twilight walk on a California beach. The whales may be passing by, dolphins swimming and playing, or sea lions just plain goofing off after a joyous day.

After a lovely walk on the beach a great dinner is in store for the guests at Cliffside Malibu. And, only the best of chefs create these five star meals. If you have had food for your soul, and mind, it’s easier than ever to feel relaxed and looking forward to the next day of your life, where a guest here will get plenty of help to aid them on the road to recovery from addiction.
