The Use of Essential Oils in Cancer Therapy

In our 35 years of "fighting" - aka "the war on cancer", little has changed in the occurrence of cancer in our population, if anything, we have seen an increase. Part of this is due to early detection based on newer diagnostic imaging and computer technologies. The present day standards of treatment are chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and transplantation. A recent statement out of John Hopkins reveals that such treatments must include support of the body's immune system through diet,… Continue

Cashing Out -Part 2- Common Mistakes made by Seller's in the sale of their small business.

Some of the more common mistakes made by sellers in the sale of their businesses are because they do not completely understand what gives value to their company. Most closely-held business owners have purposefully suppressed their profits to reduce tax exposure; therefore the company's financial statements and tax returns do not begin to reflect the true earnings of the business. A professionally trained business broker will prepare documentation from these records reflecting the true cash… Continue

The Truth, The Whole Truth!

Ed Pendarvis, CBI

Charleston SC

Affiliates Committee Chair

The TRUTH is that business brokers help folks obtain "The American Dream" of owning their own business. We do that by listing and marketing existing successful businesses that for whatever reason, the present owner wants and/or needs to sell. We create and define the marketplace.

RELATIONSHIP TIP: Get Educated

Almost eight years ago, it was a serendipitous day both in my relationship and my professional life when the Psychotherapy Networker magazine titled “Bad Couples Therapy: How to Avoid It” arrived at my office.

I’ve always been slightly shattered by my conversations with mothers of young girls confronting cancer and in need of a pretty and uplifting head scarf. I am glad that I can offer… Continue
