New to The Street airs The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd.'s (OTCQX: SGTM) ($SGTM) HumiSoil Product Commercial. The onset of modern agricultural methods with the innovation of synthetic fertilizers is destroying soil's natural components. Soil has lost the ability to maintain nutrients and water from the overused non-organic fertilizers. Humus is the main compound of soil, the energy of the ground, which is like a battery storing much-needed nutrients and water for the growth of crops. A depletion of a soil's energy reduces crop yields. The soil cannot regenerate or recharge without humus for future crop yields. A sustainable solution is SGTM's HumiSoil product which uses less water, no fertilizer requirements, and can yield 100% organic vegetables, fruits, and flowers. The product rebuilds soil hydration on a cellular level and keeps CO2 from being released into the atmosphere, creating an organic soil composition that feels and smells very earthy. HumiSoil has a "Zero-Carbon" footprint and works in any climate, soil, and atmospheric conditions as a sustainable organic product. The Earth has a population of about 8 billion people, and sustainability will be the key to future generations' access to sustainable agricultural products to ensure healthy and robust food sources. HumiSoil is now available for gardeners and farmers. The Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. and VRM BioLogik Group have a strategic relationship, and a distribution agreement, whereas SGTM can produce and sell HumiSoil in the USA / Caribbean markets. The HumiSoil product commercial will air on Newsmax TV, episode 449, March 18, 2023, 3:30 PM ET and on the FOX Business Network, episode 450, March 20, 2023, 10:30 PM PT.

NeuroRestorative Illinois Opens Bloomington Location

Sevita

NeuroRestorative, a member of the Sevita family, is celebrating the opening of its NeuroRestorative Academy in Bloomington. This is the sixth Academy location in the U.S., and the third in Illinois. An open house and ribbon cutting event was held on Wednesday, March 15, in partnership with McLean County Chamber of Commerce. NeuroRestorative Academies provide supportive education environments and therapeutic services designed to make learning more accessible to students who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or behavioral health needs. Students enrolled at the Academy may be facing behavioral or emotional challenges, multiple disabilities, speech and language impairments, or other health impairments, including TBI or neurologic impairment. The new Bloomington location will welcome 25 residential and day students, currently supported by 18 staff members including educators, healthcare professionals (recreational therapists, occupational therapists, etc.), social workers, and residential supervisors. The Academies leverage in-house brain injury rehabilitation and neurological expertise and experience to provide an inclusive, moderately acute setting for children and adolescents who have not found success within traditional school settings, yet do not need the level of care provided in higher-intensity settings such as hospitals and institutions. “For more than 40 years, NeuroRestorative has been responding to the behavioral health needs of Illinois families,” said Jim Para-Cremer, Vice President of Operations for NeuroRestorative. “We are truly delighted that this expansion will allow us to bring our clinical and educational skill and experience to the Bloomington community. Together, we know we can positively impact the lives of children and their families and support each person we serve to live well.” Para-Cremer continued, “As a Licensed and Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst, I know that children who are not successful in a traditional school environment can often find success and gain the skills they need to thrive when provided with the right environment of care and support.” Approach: The Academies provide an evidence-based curriculum that is individualized for each student. A Dynamic Learning Plan draws on personalized and proactive intervention approaches. Personalized supports and services are designed to promote both academic and rehabilitative success, including academic testing and support, medical management, social integration, physical and cognitive rehabilitation, family therapy, emotional and behavioral support, transition living preparation, and overall wellness. Success: Of students who’ve attended a NeuroRestorative Academy program, 93% have transitioned home. Additionally, 80% of those served realized a notable reduction in disability (as measured by the Mayo Portland Total T-Score). Mac is one such student that has found success within the NeuroRestorative Academy program. Coming from a Russian orphanage where he was neglected, Mac has had to fight through various obstacles in his life. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a young age and, before attending NeuroRestorative Academy Chicagoland in Mount Prospect, struggled with processing and containing his emotions. At the Academy, Mac felt comfortable and supported, grew emotionally and behaviorally, and has since graduated high school and begun pursuing his career goals. Learn more: Visit the NeuroRestorative site to watch Mac’s full story, read more successful outcome stories, and find more information about the new NeuroRestorative Academy - Bloomington location. ### About NeuroRestorative NeuroRestorative is a leading provider of subacute and post-acute rehabilitation services for people of all ages with brain and spinal cord injuries and other neurological challenges.

American Center for Cures Co-Founder Appointed by President Biden to National Cancer Advisory Board

The American Center for Cures

The American Center for Cures (ACC) today announced its long-time partner and co-founder Dr. Richard Boxer has been selected by President Joseph Biden to the National Cancer Advisory Board. In this role, Dr. Boxer will use his years of medical expertise to help guide the Director of the National Cancer Institute in the development of the organization’s national cancer research. Along with venerated entrepreneur Lou Weisbach, Dr. Boxer co-founded the ACC as a bipartisan initiative that aims to unite medicine, science, pharmaceuticals, business, and government to seek out new treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, Parkinson’s, mental diseases, many forms of cancer, and several others. “Richard Boxer and I have worked together on this important endeavor for more than a decade. It’s an honor to see him elevated to the National Cancer Advisory Board,” said Lou Weisbach, CEO and Co-Founder of ACC. “I’ve been working in a bipartisan way with leaders of both parties and the quote from Tom Price, former Secretary of Health, tells you all you need to know about our mission: ‘When this plan is approved it will rival the greatest achievements in US history and offer the sense of urgency that all American families yearn for and deserve when battling disease.’” Dr. Boxer, a UCLA Clinical Professor and Co-Founder of the American Center for Cures added: “I’ve dedicated my professional career to compassionate and uncompromising care for cancer patients and educating the public and the medical community and preventing and curing disease is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on. As a practicing urologist treating cancer patients and cancer survivor myself, the mission of the ACC and my role in its success is very personal.” Dr. Boxer, a Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, himself a three-time cancer survivor, has been practicing medicine for 44 years, caring for more than 7,000 patients with cancer and tens of thousands of patients with other illnesses. He represented the U.S. at the World Health Organization as a private citizen, a finalist for Surgeon General of the United States in both a Democratic and Republican Administration, and he was recently on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conquer Cancer Foundation. Dr. Boxer has published nearly 100 journal articles and book chapters on medical research and has also written extensively on health policy in national press outlets. He helped create the initial clinical protocols for telemedicine, becoming the Chief Medical Officer of numerous telemedicine companies. In April 2021, he was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award by the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School, its highest honor. “This is a critical single issue that all Americans can agree on, whether they be black or white, rich or poor, Democrat or Republican,” declared Weisbach. “With kudos to all medical breakthroughs of the past, we still haven’t gotten the job done in a business-like fashion as a nation when it comes to prevention and cures. That ends today. We are not asking congress or both parties to move forward on this initiative, we are insisting that it be passed unanimously. This issue impacts all 335 million Americans in the same way, including everyone in The White House, as well as members of Congress and their families. If we cannot unite on this issue as Americans, then I submit there are no issues on which we can unite.” About American Center for Cures The American Center for Cures (ACC) initiative is a fully funded mission to prevent, treat or cure diseases that plague every American family. The initiative will be funded by the sale of $750B bonds by the Federal Reserve, providing the capital needed to accelerate the current trajectory of medicine. Annual interest will be paid through the licensing of new compounds and drugs to pharmaceutical companies. The principal will be repaid by savings provided to the United States Government through successes in the areas of prevention and cures. The ACC business model will cost the government and taxpayers nothing, making this the single most impactful investment on behalf of the American people in the nation’s history.

NuggMD Launches Leading Marijuana Telemedicine Service in Georgia

NuggMD

NuggMD, the nation's leading medical marijuana telemedicine platform, has launched its service in Georgia. For $139, Georgians can now use NuggMD’s platform to connect with a medical professional who can recommend cannabis for treatment of the state’s qualifying conditions. The launch comes amid a tense political, legal, and regulatory climate in Georgia for cannabis businesses and consumers. In 2019, Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law HB 324, which legalized low-THC medical cannabis oil in the state. However, that law has yet to be successfully implemented, with only two production facilities having been awarded licenses in the subsequent four years. While newly proposed legislation, HB 196, seeks to allow more cannabis licenses, its political fate is uncertain. Additionally, Georgia remains one of the dwindling states that still impose jail time for simple possession of unlicensed cannabis. Despite lacking a single legal cannabis dispensary and the fact that no provision in Georgia law suggests how a patient might lawfully obtain cannabis, an estimated 25,000 medical cannabis patients currently reside in Georgia, and the overall demand for legal cannabis is far greater. Alex Milligan, co-founder and CMO of NuggMD, said, "Georgia still has unfair criminal statutes for the simple possession of cannabis, which runs counter to the 2019 law that legalized some forms of the substance. As one of the only services Georgians can rely on to lawfully access cannabis, the irony of this contradiction is not lost on us. One way or another—and in accordance with state law—the availability of legal cannabis will soon be a reality in Georgia. We’ve expanded our operations there so that Georgians can prepare for this eventuality by receiving cannabis recommendations from credible, licensed medical professionals.” NuggMD's platform is available from 8 am until 10 pm local time, seven days a week. No appointment is needed, and patients who are deemed not to qualify for Georgia's medical cannabis program won't be charged for their evaluation. Since its founding in 2015, NuggMD has helped more than 1,000,000 patients access medical marijuana in nearly half of the nation's states. About NuggMD NuggMD is the nation's leading medical marijuana technology platform, serving patients in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia.
