The arrival of the year 2010 is an exciting time indeed! Not only are we embracing the beginning of a brand new year, but a brand new decade as well. It’s a time of great possibilities and full of promise. A time of new beginnings, as we say goodbye to things of the past while ridding ourselves of the negative effects of old habits, patterns and thinking; and embark upon ‘the bold new NOW’, with great determination to better and/or to reinvent ourselves, to strive to be THE BEST we can be; be THE MOST we can be; progressing forward towards the attainment of our dreams and goals, and striving to arrive at our ultimate state of Zen in 2010. …In doing so, not only on an individual level, but on a community, national and global level as well, we are in fact, casting the mold of our tomorrows.

We are off to an excellent start, as you can now add to your list of New Year’s resolutions that while having an absolute blast this year while doing so, YOU can help eradicate a deadly disease off the face of the planet in the process! …Now I know some of you are probably thinking at this point that “Ms. Laura has worked with ONE TOO MANY rock stars in 2009,” but it’s the truth! (…About the eradicating a deadly disease thing anyway.) Allow me enlighten you to the details…

Via the hard work, dedication, and deep compassion of two absolutely brilliant men, Doctor and esteemed Bio Chemist Robert H. Broyles and Musician/Songwriter, Promoter, Talk Show Host, Radio Personality J. R. Perry III, an immense amount of suffering worldwide can be eliminated this year by the eradication of the deadly disease Sickle Cell Anemia for which Dr. Robert H. Broyles HAS THE CURE; and by which J. R. Perry is helping to raise the funding, (and awareness), needed to get this cure to those who need it, (and to hasten the process of doing so), via organizing a series of super dynamic concerts worldwide, featuring renowned and/or legendary acts in every genre imaginable.

Dr. Robert H. Broyles, who is the Founder and President of The Sickle Cell Cure Foundation, and has discovered/developed a cure for the disease via primarily the utilization of Gene Regulation Therapy, and has secured and obtained the US patent for this proven way it would work on April, 14, 2009.

(Though Dr. Robert H. Broyles actually discovered a way in which the cure would work as early as 2006; though getting it into the hands of those who need it is an extremely slow moving and arduous task, largely due to the extreme amount of bureaucratic ‘red tape’ involved in the process.)

SCCF’s patents in Australia, and the European Union, (France, Germany, and Greece), are also already secured and maintained through Dr. Broyles’ outstanding work to not only end this deadly disease, but quite possibly Parkinson’s Disease and other diseases as well, through Gene Regulation Therapy and Iron Management.

Not only is Doctor Robert H. Broyles an incredibly brilliant scientist, (one of the Principal Investigative Scientists in the field of Gene Regulation Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease, with over thirty-five years of research experience to add to his extraordinarily impressive and numerous credits), Dr. Broyles is an extremely kind man of sincere and deep care and compassion for those he has dedicated his life to heal. ‘Doctor Bob,’ (as I have nick named him out of my ultimate respect and admiration for him as both a scientist and as a great individual), shares an example of the many e-mails from people all around the world, which greatly moves Dr. Broyles, and serves as his driving force for doing the amazing and outstanding work that he does. Here is one example of the many e-mails in which Dr. Robert Broyles receives regularly: “Please, I beg you in the name of the most high-grade God. How do I access the cure? This pain is too much. Please don’t let me die. Please.” Needless to say, Dr. Robert H. Broyles is not only a man of exceptional mind, but also a man of exceptional heart and soul as well, for the work he has done and continues to do with great determination and dedication; which in my opinion, is worthy of a Nobel Prize. I would also like to add that out of the many renowned stars that I have worked with over the years as a PR, Press and Media Relations Specialist, (mostly in the music industry, though I have also written for/about a number of high profile, US political figures as well), I have to say that Dr. Robert H. Broyles is indeed THE brightest shining true ‘superstar’ I have ever had the pleasure of working with thus far!

Another great man of uncommon valor and brilliance in his own fields of expertise who is working hard to bring this cure, (and expedite the process of doing so), to those in need of it is J. R. Perry III; who is in the process of organizing a series of multi-artist concerts worldwide to both, generate funding and awareness concerning this deadly disease.

Because, (to spite misconceptions), Sickle Cell Anemia is a disease that effects people of ALL races, in all countries, and of all social economic status, renowned Promoter and long time Sickle Cell Disease Activist, J. R. Perry’s exciting concert tour, (“The Cure Every Cell Tour”), will feature a dynamic array of outstanding artists from every genre imaginable to strategically generate as much ‘broad audience appeal’ as possible to both educate, (on a very large scale), about this deadly and extremely painful disease, dispel the many misconceptions concerning this disease, and to raise the necessary funding to complete the final stages of clinical trials required, (by the medical regulations in the US), before making this cure available to patients within the US. (Though notably, Dr. Broyles’ procedural cure is currently already available outside of the US in a number of other countries.)

J. R. Perry’s dedicated involvement as both a Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Activist and his hard work and effort at organizing a massive world tour to combat this disease and bring forth the cure is nothing less of a labor of love. J. R. Perry’s own ten year old son Jameel suffers from Sickle Cell Disease, and has already endured a stroke, (at age 9), and has to receive regular blood transfusions, suffers chronic pain, as well as has a potentially life threatening compromised immune system because of this disease.

Though we are at the beginning phases of organizing this historic ‘tour for the cure’, amongst the first outstanding artists to join this effort includes blues, R&B and jazz legend Chick Willis, (www.myspace.com/chickwillis), sizzling Latin/salsa sensations Orquesta Fiesta, (www.myspace.com/clarasalsa), jam’s absolutely smoking and super fast rising band Bodhi, (www.bodhilive.com), and prolific Vocalist Dan Shafer, (known for his work with a number of renowned bands such as Mercenary, featuring Rusty DAddio of Ronnie James Dio and Richie Blackmore); and well renowned for his work in numerous commercials, and is the Executive Producer of The Rock & Load Show, amongst Dan’s immense and impressive list of professional credits; (www.myspace.com/danshafer). And most recently, joining in this effort will be world renowned Latin and jazz recording artist Eddie Benitez. (www.myspace.com/eddiebenitez).

More respected artists will be listed in upcoming press releases as they come aboard on this project: as we at Mindsweep Entertainment & Promotions are embarking on a massive PR, press and media, (and cross promotional), campaign to further promote this very important, life saving and history changing tour, (and as a promotions ‘perk’ for the artists, sponsors and to everyone associated with this tour, as a token of our sincere and immense amount of appreciation for their involvement and help): and of course, to keep everyone updated on upcoming concert dates, the artists involved, upcoming TV and radio appearances and news concerning this tour. J. R. Perry III incidentally, is also the Owner of Love Drop Radio, where artists involved with this tour will be featured as guests on Love Drop Radio’s esteemed programming to further promote this noble cause.

And that’s how YOU TOO can help eradicate the deadly disease Sickle Cell Anemia off the face of the planet while having an absolute blast doing so, simply by attending a concert on the “The Cure Every Cell Tour” coming to a concert venue near you very soon! Now isn’t that an absolutely GREAT resolution to start out a New Year and decade? …I’m talking WAAAAY more fun than trying to quit bad habits, dieting and exercise!

The End.

SCCF has a cure that prevents manifestations of the bodily damage which results from SCD! Our cure is the product of 33 years of research funded by NIH and other non-profit foundations. This cure is truly unique, very stable, easy to deliver, and has very low likelihood of side effects. The effectiveness has been proven in more than 50 types of laboratory experiments, each repeated multiple times by different investigators.

The SCCF is committed to alleviating this terrible disease in as many suffers as can be reached. To this end, the SCCF has a global plan for distribution of the cure at a cost that 80% of the SCD sufferers in the world can afford. Our plan combines safety and clinical trials with a cost-effective business plan that includes a “north-south” dialogue and “west-east” cross subsidies from advanced economies to economically less affluent regions in such a way that all people may receive the “cure” at a cost much lower than what they now incur for inferior, much less effective treatments. This global plan has SCCF partnering with other charities to create teams with the management skills, medical knowledge, multi-cultural experience, timely funding, and – above all — passionate commitment, as well as the experience on the ground to deliver this long-awaited cure to humanity. How Oklahoma came to be the discovery location for a tropical disease is a story in its own right composed of new facts, sound growth policies, and the occasional stroke of genius. Oklahoma’s pro-business policies certainly favor economic development of the bio-medical sector. Insights into evolutionary and developmental biology influenced how to structure the “search”. Discoveries in basic science rarely unfold on schedule, within budget, with no detours. In a field as creative as biomedical research, there will always be the “unknown” where insight and intuition merge.
