Mark Lubin and Ellice Longo will be interviewed by Dr Carl O Helvie on the Holistic Health Show on Saturday at 3 p.m. EST on Station 1 on BBS Radio (www.bbsradio.com)
Mark is the Founder, CEO and Chief Scientist -of RZN Nutraceuticals, a company with natural products for the relief of arthritis. He is a 25 year veteran of biomedical engineering and research in the fields of orthopedics, joint diseases, implantable cardiac devices, materials science, and material chemistry. He holds over a dozen United States Patents either issued or pending in these fields. His involvement in arthritis and joint problem products resulted from his own joint problems and desire to use natural products. Over those years he had 12 arthritis-related joint surgeries on his shoulders, wrists, thumbs, knees, hip, and feet and was in pain every day. His wife had also developed blunt trauma arthritis and this was another motivating force in finding an arthritis pain reliever because he did not want her to suffer as he had. This resulted in the ARTHRI-ZEN RELIEF productline that includes variants with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM in various combinations to provide enhanced tissue function and to repair molecules. More information is available at: www.rznnutra.com
My second guest, Ellice Longo, is a certified holistic health counselor and licensed massage therapist who works with arthritis patients. She has been in the health and wellness field for over 14 years and graduated from the Swedish Institute College of Health Science and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Ms Sheila Kerpelman, a Masters Prepared Family Nurse Practitioner, discusses how she uses holistic alternative health principles in her nursing practice and how nursing schools integrate it into their curriculum. Should it be a specialty or offered to all students? How are the principles integrated into daily health care? Do nursing journals support holistic alternative health care? Is there room in health care for a diversity of players–some prepared and some unprepared? Should all health care workers be registered or certified? Who actually brings about healing in patients. These and other questions are answered by this experienced family nurse practitioner.
