He is also a contributing member of Cryptocurrency Compliance Cooperative. He discusses how ATII works and gives insights about incorporating their programs into a company’s CSR and ESG.
 

 
The Anti-Human-Trafficking Intelligence Initiative (ATII) is focused on bringing anti-human trafficking programs to organizations such as financial institutions, commercial organizations, other NGOs, and businesses. ATII encourages these organizations to practice corporate social responsibility and think about environmental and social governance. They also have a unique focus on compliance and financial crimes due to Aaron’s background.
 
Standards are being set higher not just on the financial and regulation level, but also from new generations of society and young individuals with influence. They want to know before investments are made that companies are standing for something or meeting certain requirements.

Understanding Lyme Disease – Episode 5: Looking Ahead


 
Scott Endicott and Ben Locwin with host Tom Fox are back for part 5 of the Understanding Lyme Disease Podcast series. In this episode, they talk about living with chronic toxicity and co-infectious agents.
 

 
A Useful Approach to Knowledge
The best way to help yourself, and loved ones who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease, is to seek out accurate information to make sure that you get the best treatment options available. The earlier treatment is applied, the more effective it is. 
 
The Next Steps
Scott talks about a few innovative initiatives regarding Lyme disease. Focusing on diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches will be a great opportunity to turn the disease around. Currently, there is an increased acceptance of the disease and less stigma so that will go a long way in creating more options and opportunities for treatment. “There’s been a much broader acceptance of Lyme in health insurance claims that’s actually gone from being a very difficult diagnosis to one that’s much more accepted,” Scott tells Tom. On the chronic side of the disease, Scott recommends that persons afflicted with tick bites get doxycycline in their systems as soon as possible.
 
Knowing The Cause
The more patients understand about Lyme disease, the more they would be able to apply smarter resources to improve prevention and care. They can be able to manipulate the neutrophils [the disruption of the immune system]. The more they understand about the science behind the causative agents, the easier it will be to fight it.

Understanding Lyme Disease – Episode 4: Prevention and Immunity


 
Scott Endicott and Ben Locwin with host Tom Fox are back for part 4 of the Understanding Lyme Disease Podcast series. In this episode, they talk about the immune system as the body’s first line of defense, how to boost your immunity, and take charge of your health.
 

 
Prevention Beats Correction
Prevention beats correction every time, and the best way to treat Lyme disease is to reduce your chances of contracting it at all. Ben advises listeners to take precautions when entering areas where ticks are common. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and boots if possible. Use tick repellent, salves, and sprays. If you do happen to find a tick on you, only remove it with tweezers; do not use petroleum jelly or try to burn it off. 
 
Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome
Some patients who have been treated for Lyme disease still feel lingering symptoms. This used to be considered Chronic Lyme Disease. Evidence shows that no persistent infection is left within patients so the official term is now Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. 
 
Building Your Immunity
One of the best things a person can do is work on building their self immunity. Improving your diet, exercise, and stress levels are key to your recovery. A consistent exercise regimen especially helps to build back your immunity. “Many of the side effects and symptoms of persistent Lyme or Post Treatment Lyme Disease are psychiatric and mental,” Scott tells Tom. Doing your best to fortify your body and mind is going to do wonders with strengthening your immune system.
 
Take Charge of Your Health
You need to take charge of your health, both physically and mentally. “Being discerning about your own health and being your own advocate is probably one of your best defenses,” Scott says. Do what you can to ease stress: yoga or meditation are good options. Make use of the information that is available; get educated about what’s happening around you so you can make decisions about your own medical care.
