By Nelson A. King
Former Bahamas Finance
Minister Zhivargo Laing has
extolled the virtues of good
leadership, saying that they
count most when people come
together to achieve noble ends.
“If you are not bringing people
together to work together
to achieve noble ends, you are
merely occupying a position,
because you are not doing leadership,”
Laing, also an author,
economist and motivational
speaker, told a packed banquet
hall, at the JW Marriott Marquis
hotel in Miami, in addressing
“Caribbean movers and
shakers” at the 2019 Caribbean
Media Exchange (CMEx) Gala
Leadership Awards.
“If times are good and leadership
is strong, success is still
not guaranteed,” added Laing,
who is also a trade negotiator
for The Bahamas. “Imagine
then, if times are bad and leadership
is poor, failure is almost
inevitable.”
According to the New Jerseybased
CMEx, Laing cautioned
that leadership has its limitations.
“There is a mistake that people
make far too often, when
they think of this subject of
leadership,” Laing said. “There
are people who believe that,
if you achieve, you succeed at
leadership; and that’s not true.”
In illustrating his point, he
pointed to Hurricane Dorian,
which devastated parts of The
Bahamas archipelago and how
the essence of leadership was
used for “the unifying of people
first in turning them to each
other. and then turning them
together towards some noble
end.”
As for the kind of responses
needed to cope with storms in
the wider Caribbean, Laing said
it called for good leadership,
“which turned people toward
each other rather than on each
other.
“This is what it will take
in The Bahamas, Dominica,
Puerto Rico and all the places
of our world, when natural and
unnatural forces have caused
devastation,” he said.
“It will take leadership to rise

up and say to you and say to
me, for us to say to each other,
you are my brother, you are
my sister; and, together, I want
to work with you to get some
things done,” he added.
Laing, according to CMEx,
urged attendees to consider
“how much better off (the
world) would be if the spirit that
governs this room tonight was
the spirit that governed every
room.”
CMEx, which is headed by
Barbadian journalist Bevan
Springer, said its honorees
included “exceptional individuals
who have made contributions
to the Caribbean region
and beyond.”
They comprised: Chef José
Andrés & World Central Kitchen;
Joseph Boschulte, commissioner,

scholars impacted by the

This One Thing Can Lead You To Freedom From Knee
Pain and Save You From A Knee Replacement…
You feel frustrated and sick and tired of feeling like
you are in your 90’s when you are trying to enjoy your
early retirement. Now you’re walking down the stairs
sideways step-by-step like a baby afraid your knee will
buckle. Popping Solgar No.7 vitamins and Glucosamine
pills for breakfast, has you feeling frustrated, because
the gel shots, the braces and the icy hot and Physical
Therapy is making things worse. The pain is so bad that
the sleeping is getting harder. 9 haunting words from the
knee specialist you saw echo in your head “Maybe you
should consider the knee replacement surgery soon…”
WAIT! DON’T GIVE UP… NEVER
GIVE UP HERE’S WHY…
I agree with you and it’s not your fault that the old
fashioned way of treating knee arthritis with the same
old rooster shots (hyaluronic acid injection) FAILED
YOU – just a short term bandaid! Yes, even if they
tell you they use ultrasound guided and fluoroscopic
precision xrays to put the injection in the exact place
where the bone is touching bone, it’s still the same old
placebo potion delivered in a fancier way. Ok…it helps
for some, but for you it was a waste of time… am I right?
YOUR KNEE ARTHRITIS IS
COMPARED TO A “TOOTH DECAY
CAVITY” YET THAT’S NOT THE
TRUTH…
I want to ask you a really BIG question…ok? Do you
really think that there is science backing the theory of
gel shots? Your answer was “I dunno”! The only thing
that is backing those shots, is science that Medicare
pays some money for the doctor’s appointment to
examine you! Those shots cost $500 to you! These
shots are as guaranteed as hitting the lottery!
VITAMINS DON’T WORK AND
HERE’S WHY…
Do you really think that glucosamine will reach your
joint? Honestly, you are swallowing a water pill and
you need to know that there is a huge placebo effect.
OK THIS IS A PROMISE OF A REAL
SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION NOT A
WATER PILL…
I agree with you that the Traditional Physical Therapy
DID NOT WORK! Actually it worsened your condition
especially when you were told to ride the bike, right?
SO WHAT! COME ON I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL
THERAPY AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT TRADITIONAL
THERAPY JUST WON’T WORK! I DO KNOW WHAT
WORKS.
ACTUALLY 387 REAL PATIENTS WITHIN THE LAST 5
YEARS HAVE CALLED ME PERSONALLY TO CONSULT ME
FOR A SECOND OPINION TO HAVING KNEE SURGERY
BECAUSE MY PROPRIETARY SYSTEM GETS RESULTS …
NO THIS IS NOT STEM CELLS!
Stem cells cost $5,000 and get zero results, because
there is zero proof that they work. Don’t do it! NO NOT
PRP SHOTS! Taking blood and spinning it in a centrifuge
these $1,000 injections can heal your arthritis. PRP
works for other issues just not arthritis. I know because
I spent the last 3 years being mentored by the top Sports
Medicine PRP and STEM CELL experts in the country
and I saw with my own eyes what works and here it is…

WHAT IS KNEE DEROTATION AND
REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY?
Forget what you just read! Let’s focus on the next few
lines below…
Your hip is like the axle of a car, your knee a shock
absorber and your foot the tires… make a mental image,
close your eyes so you can picture it now.
Can you drive a car with a flat tire? Yes, sure you can,
but you know after sometime what will happen is the
shock from the street will destroy the shock absorbers
between the axle and the tire, as the car rolls over the
pot holes… Can you drive a car with a misaligned axle?
Sure you can but after sometime the car starts to pull in
one direction and the shock absorber begins to wear out.
THAT’S YOUR KNEE! IT’S A SHOCK
ABSORBER!
KNEE DEROTATION AND REALIGNMENT TECHNOLOGY
uses a non-radiation-based laser scanner that instantly
analyzes your hip, knee and ankle alignment looking
for the exact misalignment angle. Traditional xrays
look only at the knee joint and don’t take the hip and
ankle into account causing Doctors to misjudge what is
really the true cause of the bone-on-bone in your knee.
Whether it’s your hip, or your foot and ankle, our scanner
shows us the exact measurements telling us how to
derotate your hip—based on kinesiology (the science
of muscles, bones and nerves). A few centimeters of
derotation will decompress and realign your hip, turning
on a critical small muscle deep in the buttock called the
short rotator. We do this while we gently pull your hip
with a decompression pulley device. Simply put, we
activate your weak unused hip muscle.
Arthritis Research and Therapy 18 Article 255
Functional electrical stimulation of gluteus medius have
shown that once the muscle is turned on the hip levels
out and unpinches the inside of the knee during walking.
Unicompartmental arthritis is what doctors call the pain
on the inner part of your knee and worn out meniscus.
This is exactly what we attempt to decompress using
this derotation method. During the derotation, we use
a tool called deep muscle stimulator to break up the
scar tissue in the inner knee while the hip is stretched
and derotated. And let me tell you it works and it lasts.
