Reviews are Raving the DrSong’s 3D Prostate Treatment for Prostatitis

3D treatment for prostatitis looks to be a breakthrough with patients

Prostatitis is a condition in which the prostate becomes inflamed and/or swollen. This condition can be both embarrassing and debilitating for the men suffering. Treatment for the disease has been geared towards treating the symptoms, rather than trying to eliminate the cause completely, leaving men to seek treatment for the rest of their lives.

The Song lab based out of the 3D prostate clinic in China has been looking to curve research norms and treat the disease directly. Dr. Song has spent the last 28 years conducting medical research and through the help of his lab team has been able to create what he calls a 3D treatment for prostatitis. People who have suffered their entire lives with prostatitis are now flooding the clinic/lab with praise in their 3D treatment for prostatitis reviews.


Video Link: https://youtu.be/xIFCz5p8PDo

3D treatment does not a three dimensional cure, rather it involves the three Ds of eliminating prostatitis. First Patients are given a consultation session in the clinic. They go through a battery of testing to determine the cause of the prostatitis, once the cause has been detected the Song lab works to destroy the pathogens directly through injections, finally the Song lab uses its proprietary discharge formula to decalcify any calcified sediments and endotoxins that may linger. Dr. Song has contributed this method to the success of his patient’s recovery.

Through follow up appointments and written/video testimonials Dr. Song has come to learn multiple patients have had positive results through his method. Dr. Song has been able to aggregate and create transcripts of many of his 3D prostate testimonials and now shares them on his website. In one 3d treatment for prostatitis review, Tom from Australia described how after 21 treatments his pathogen load decreased and how he was able to overcome prostatitis. Reviews also have also described Dr. Song as having incredible bedside manner, ensuring that he and the other doctors are always around to answer patients questions and concerns throughout the 3D prostate treatments.

Reviews are popping up every day for Dr. Song and the 3D treatment he has led to creation. People with prostatitis who want a second look at their prostate issues should look into seeing Dr. Song, translators are provided! Dr. Song is always taking new patients looking for change.

American Patients Are Crossing Oceans to See Dr. Song

3D prostate treatment seeing huge interest from foreigners.

The Dr Song’s 3d clinic has spent the last 28 years honing its craft in developing treatment for prostatitis and unlike western medicine does not look to band aid the problem by treating symptoms.  Through medical breakthroughs the Song lab has been able to develop what it calls a 3D prostate treatment.

The treatment looks to treat pathogen (viral and bacterial based) infections of the disease, selectively killing off any unwanted/foreign invaders. Word of mouth from Chinese patients has spread like wire fire all over the globe, creating demand from even those from the most distant places to see Dr. Song.


Video Link: https://youtu.be/xIFCz5p8PDo

Not all patients are alike, therefore not all medications should be alike. The Song lab has taken a patient centric approach, in that the patient is first examined and the cause of the prostatitis is determined, from the determination step Dr. Song or his colleagues can create a custom plan to treat and alleviate the patient of his prostate issues. The determination steps involve many tests and samples being taken for analyzation. From the analyzation the song lab creates specific injections that are used to destroy the pathogens. Once pathogens are destroyed they and any calcification in the urinary track are removed through the discharge step. This combination of determining, destroying, and discharging is also known as the 3D prostate treatment.

The 3D treatment is unlike western medicine in which it looks to treat the disease. Western medicine looks to alleviate symptoms, leaving patients vulnerable to sickness if or when they stop taking them. The 3D prostate treatment takes a more holistic approach and looks to destroy the disease. This contrast has led to many Americans crossing continents to get treatment. The 3D prostate treatment USA has become so popular that translators are being hired to help the hospital staff understand and treat the patients even better. With western rates of prostatitis on the rise it would only make sense that this intrigue in China has gone up.

China has become a viable option to treat prostatitis thanks to the Dr Song’s 3d clinic, people from around the globe are looking to cure and not treat prostatitis and the 3D prostate treatment provides just that.

Prostatitis Injection Therapy Shows Promising Results

Patients suffering from pathogen induced prostatitis show remarkable turnaround through injections.

Prostatitis is a debilitating condition that can leave a person in severe pain and embarrassment, unfortunately the incidence of the condition is on the rise and has left medical researchers scrambling to find a proper treatment. The 3D Urology and Prostate Clinic based out of China has taken lead in trying to find a cure for prostatitis rather than attempting to treat its symptoms.

The Song lab has been at the helm of this research and today the prostate clinic uses his proprietary 3D prostate treatment to handle prostatitis.  This treatment looks to use injections to eliminate and clear out any pathogens and build up in the prostate.


Video Link: https://youtu.be/xIFCz5p8PDo

The 3D Prostate treatment works to treat many prostate related diseases, this includes prostatitis, enlarged prostate, benign prostate hyperplasia, prostate cancer, seminal vasculitis, epididymitis, cystitis, prostate blockage and calcification, and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and more. The Song lab is able to treat so many different conditions with this system because each injection is created to target specific pathogens or causes to a condition. The Song lab conducts multiple tests to figure out the cause and then develops injections in the lab specifically for the patient. This patient specific approach has resulted in many people being cured and not having to worry about fear of relapsing to the condition.

Prostate injections done from the 3D Urology and Prostate Clinic targets only the area that is infected, this reduces the chance of normal working and non-pathogenic cells from being destroyed. Patients who have come in for checkup after the treatment show 95% success rate when being treated through injection therapy. In contrast western medicine has shown to only cure 20% of people suffering from prostate conditions. This should come as no surprise because western medicine is often focused on treating symptoms over curing the disease.

Dr. Song has spent the last 28 years developing the medicine and tools necessary to treat prostate conditions and today people from around the globe are able to be treated and alleviated of prostate issues. The 3d clinic will continue to grow and teach future medical scientists how to cure even more deadly prostate diseases as time passes.

THE GREAT AWAKENING, A SOBRIETY HOME COMPANY, OPENS HALFWAY HOUSE IN DELRAY BEACH

A Florida-based and a full-service sobriety organization excitedly announced their halfway house opening in Delray Beach, Florida.

Delray Beach, FL – May 29, 2017 – Great Awakening Inc.  is dedicated to providing community members with access to high-quality, effective, and community-oriented rehabilitation after addiction. 

As the number one place in the entire country for drug rehab centers, Delray Beach made sense for a Great Awakening halfway house. Unfortunately, since there’s a high influx of sober living homes and transitional homes in the Delray Beach Community, individuals are faced with lots of options, many of which are unequipped to provide the quality of care residents desperately need.

“Many homes in Delray Beach are mistaken for halfway homes when they are in fact transitional living homes,” said Mike, Founder and Owner of Great Awakening Inc. “These transitional homes are typically used to help prisoners adapt to normal life after being released from a long term sentence. They do not have the support, resources, and counseling needed for individuals looking to move past their debilitating addiction.” 

Transitional homes are incredibly dangerous for recovering addicts as they are filled with ex-prisoners, most of which leave jail with some kind of drug dependency. Since there is a huge lack of licensing and regulation structures to maintain the explosion of transitional homes in Delray Beach, Florida, Great Awakening wanted to break the norm and open a fully functioning halfway house.

Great Awakening has over 10-years of experience counseling and coaching individuals past their addictions. They focus on helping addicts to not only get sober but to also maintain a sober lifestyle long after their halfway homes. The Great Awakening draws on an abundance of resources and volunteers, as well as alumni to make their program as special and custom-tailored as possible.

“Our mission here is to provide a supportive and comforting home where everyone can meet friends and slowly transition into the person they were always meant to be,” said Mike. “Spread the word on the official opening of our Delray Beach halfway house facility, and head on over to our website to learn more about beating addiction through our Great Awakening community support.”

Great Awakening Inc is a certified FARR Member, which ensures a licensed and verified environment of care for individuals. A FARR accreditation means the Great Awakening works to ensure all levels of care are being addressed for every individual.

GhostRide: New App Allows Athletes to Challenge Themselves and Track Their Progress

Stolberg, Germany – On May 29 2017, Rainer Werner and symblCrowd launched a Kickstarter campaign for the GhostRide app, a fitness app designed for ambitious athletes who want to monitor their training and compete with their personal best times. GhostRide is suited for any kind of activity, whether it’s running, cycling, skating or rowing.

“While trying for my personal best on one of my usual routes I had a great idea: what if I could race against myself instead of the clock?” explained creator, Rainer Werner, “I want to see on my Apple Watch in real time if I am ahead or behind of my personal best, or if I am faster than the last time I ran this route.”

The GhostRide app is compatible with either iPhone or Apple Watch and tracks its user’s route while collecting data about pace, heart rate and geolocation. The app on the Apple Watch Series 2 runs independently from the iPhone for those who want more of a smartwatch-centric solution.

Once the first run is finished, athletes can challenge themselves to a race. The next time they take on the same route, their former best time is represented by the ghost. While running, the device provides live feedback on the athlete’s distance to the ghost. 

To make sure that workouts stay healthy, the app also monitors the user’s heart rate and sends a warning if their pulse gets too high. The application provides a detailed analysis after the run. On a map, the athlete can compare his position, heart rate, pace and time to his ghost at any point of the route.

The app also contains a GPX export function that makes it easy to archive your training sessions. The GPS data, including pulse, can be exported from your iPhone via e-mail or uploaded to your Dropbox or iCloud.

“I am my own greatest competitor. Nothing can motivate me more than racing against myself, chasing my own shadow…racing my own Ghost. GhostRide, the Apple Watch app we’ve designed, will make this possible,” said Rainer, “Please be a part of this project and help us develop the next killer sports app. We are confident that we can create an app that helps you reach new goals and become the best version of yourself.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including access to the full featured GhostRide Pro app when it launches for $5, full access for two for $10, and more. Backers can also pledge $100 to become a GhostRide Dev Member with beta access, access to the finished app, and the ability to give app feedback as part of a special GhostRide Group.

Seynani, a Sugar Blocker Spray and a Pocket Warrior against Obesity, Launched

$

Falls Church, VA – The fight against obesity and ailments caused by excessive sugar consumption has just got better. The newly launched Seynani sugar blocker spray brings the power of the famous gymnema supplement in the form of a handy spray that can be used anytime, anywhere to suppress sugar cravings and lead a healthier life.

An average American consumes up to 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, twice the amount recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. High levels of sugar use have been linked to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, skin ailments and certain types of cancer. That sugar is ‘evil’ is not therefore an exaggeration, and the Seynani sugar control spray is the perfect pocket-sized warrior to rely on.

Seynani (which means ‘warrior’ in Hindi) aims to help everyone cut down on sugar consumption. The new sugar craving suppressor trains the brain to say ‘no’ to sugar by blocking the ability to taste both natural and artificial sweeteners. The product is made with all natural and tested ingredients, and begins to work as soon as used to suppress sugar cravings for 15-30 minutes.

“We’ve come up with one of the easiest ways to get sugar out of your diet. It’s a conditioning tool that helps you say no those empty calories and all the issues that it brings along,” said Appy Vohra of Seynani.

Sugar and highly processed foods are believed to alter the brain in a fashion similar to drugs and alcohol. The spike in sugar levels followed by insulin driven decline makes users hungry for more sweets and starchy junk, leading to belly fat. According to a Princeton study written by Dr. Bart Hoebel, sugar is as addictive as cocaine, heroin, and alcohol!

The all-natural Seynani sugar blocker spray is thus a handy and quick way to cut sugar out of diet, jump start a new routine, or eliminate soda consumption. The spray delivery method makes Seynani more efficient and effective than other conventional products. Seynani begins to work instantly upon being sprayed on the tongue, and the spray can be carried anywhere to resist urges for bingeing on snacks.

The sugar cravings blocker spray is manufactured in association with All American Pharmaceuticals, which makes and rigorously tests the product in three phases to meet all FDA guidelines. Seynani sugar blocker spray can now be ordered online with a 30-day money back scheme.

3-D Mammography Bill Heads to the Texas Governor’s Desk

Solis Mammography Applauds the 85th Texas Legislature

ADDISON, TX – 30 May, 2017 –

Texas House Bill 1036 was passed in the Texas Senate on May 28 with very strong support. The bill now heads to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk for signature before becoming law. Because the bill passed with a two-thirds majority vote, HB 1036 will go into effect immediately upon Gov. Abbott’s signing.

HB 1036 requires all commercial insurance providers in Texas to cover 3-D mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, for breast cancer screening and diagnosis at no additional cost to the patient – just as insurers currently cover traditional 2-D mammography screenings.

The bill was introduced on Jan. 1 by Texas Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D-Houston).

Solis Mammography’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Stephen Rose, testified in front of the Business and Commerce Committee of the Texas Senate and the Texas House of Representatives Insurance Committee. The bill passed with strong support by the Texas House of Representatives earlier this month.

“We applaud the 85th Texas Legislature, especially Rep. Thompson, for taking a stand on women’s breast health and passing HB 1036,” said James Polfreman, president and CEO of Solis Mammography. “This is a great day for the women of Texas as they now have the peace of mind that their 3-D mammograms, the most advanced form of screening available, will be covered by insurance with no additional out-of-pocket expense.”

When signed into law, Texas will become the sixth state to have similar legislation in place for insurers to treat all screening mammography (2-D and 3-D) the same – at no extra cost to patients. Texas will join Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Arkansas. Similar legislation is underway to support insurance coverage for 3-D mammography in Arizona, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey and New Hampshire.

Polfreman continued: “Ideally, we want all insured women in the United States, regardless of whether they are a Solis Mammography patient, to be able to receive full coverage for 3-D mammography. Today, in many states, a woman’s ability to benefit from the advances of 3-D mammography is not based on education or physician recommendation, but rather upon her financial means. This can and is changing with active support from many, including our Texas state representatives.”

While conventional 2-D mammography was a significant step forward for its time, it has been dramatically surpassed by the improved technology of 3-D mammography. More than 125 studies have demonstrated an increase in cancer detection (up to 54 percent) and a reduction in recalls (up by 37 percent). The technology not only increases a woman’s chances for early detection and survival, but from a cost standpoint reduces the time, burden and expense of unnecessary follow-up diagnostic testing and/or later stage invasive surgeries and treatments.

The Food and Drug Administration approved 3-D mammography in 2011. Medicare has covered 3-D mammography since January 2015. And with Gov. Abbott’s signature, insured women in Texas will have full access to the best screening mammography available by today’s medical standard.

About Solis Mammography

With more than 30 years in breast imaging, Solis Mammography is a specialized healthcare provider focused on delivering women an exceptional mammography experience. Headquartered in Addison, Texas, Solis currently operates 38 centers across six major markets – North Texas; Houston, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Columbus, Ohio; Greensboro, North Carolina; and through its acquisition of Washington Radiology, the District of Columbia metropolitan area. The company operates both wholly-owned centers and multiple successful joint ventures with hospital partners.

This morning in the lovely beachside town of Encinitas, California, 150 volunteers from the community dedicated their morning to helping the environment, at an event sponsored by local businessman and philanthropist Troy Flowers. During this 4 hour event, volunteers cleaned up approximately 400 pounds of trash at Encinitas beaches, including the scenic Moonlight Beach area.

“The representative from 1-800-GOT-JUNK estimated that the trash we collected was between four hundred and five hundred pounds,” Troy Flowers explained.

The family-friendly event brought together volunteers from the community and beyond, with several groups and individuals coming down from Los Angeles and Orange Country to lend a hand. Also in attendance were BudTrader.com CEO Brad McLaughlin and his team, along with the site’s promo models, the BudTrader Babes.

BudTrader.com is the largest online medical marijuana marketplace, and is headquartered in Encinitas. McLaughlin says he wants to use the growing influence of BudTrader.com to help his community.

“We have had so much success with legal weed advocacy, and I thought, are there other ways we can give back? I care a lot about the environment. Our campus is located right by the beach, and a lot of us surf and spend a lot of time on the beach. At BudTrader we are all about ‘going green’, and now we are going to take that to the next level!”

In addition to his work with the local environment, Troy Flowers has focused on advocating for safe access to medical marijuana across the country. Troy is also and early investor in BudTrader.com a classified ad platform for medical marijuana patients and mmjbuy.com the “Amazon of Cannabis”.

Benkovich Orthodontics Gives Maryland Residents A Reason to Smile

$

0
Annapolis & Chester, MD: People in need of orthodontic care in the Annapolis and Chester areas now have improved access to state-of-the-art expertise and technology, thanks to Benkovich Orthodontics.

After 25 years of practicing orthodontics, Dr. John A. Benkovich still loves what he does. He and his skilled, enthusiastic team are now giving local Maryland residents a new reason to smile by offering a complimentary Benkovich Smile Assessment to all new patients.

The Benkovich Smile Assessment provides patients with a complete orthodontic exam with x-rays and a comprehensive treatment consultation with Dr. Benkovich. This package, a $250 value, is currently free at Benkovich Orthodontics and carries no obligation.

Why is Benkovich Orthodontics giving away this free service? “A healthy smile can make such a difference in someone’s life,” explains Dr. Benkovich, “but some people hesitate to take that first step. I want to give people the chance to start a conversation, to at least find out what’s possible.”

Patients who decide to proceed with treatment after their free smile assessment can also take advantage of the flexible financial options at Benkovich Orthodontics. In addition to accepting most insurances, Benkovich Orthodontics also helps patients accomplish their ideal smiles by offering 0% interest monthly payment plans, as well as discounts for multiple family members in treatment.

In addition to the improved confidence that a great looking smile can bring, orthodontic care has also been shown to have notable health benefits. Properly aligned bites ensure that pressure distributes equally when someone chews or bites down. As a result, patients who have undergone quality orthodontic care may avoid problems later in life such as headaches or TMJ.

Benkovich Orthodontics offers a variety of potential treatments to ensure that each patient receives care that fits his or her unique needs. In addition to metal braces, Dr. Benkovich can also fit patients with clear braces or removable, clear Invisalign aligners. Both of these latter choices can be a great option for patients who want a more discreet treatment.

“I find that adults in particular like Invisalign,” Dr. Benkovich notes. “The aligners are removable, and my patients like the simplicity that Invisalign provides. They don’t have to change their cooking or eating habits, and they don’t have to do anything special to brush their teeth or floss.”

Many of Dr. Benkovich’s patients also appreciate the ability to shorten their overall time in treatment, sometimes by as much as 50%. Benkovich Orthodontics offers multiple types of accelerated treatment options, including Propel, AcceleDent, and Wilkodontics. These revolutionary technologies have been proven to speed up tooth movement safely and effectively when used in conjunction with braces or Invisalign.

Of course, even the most advanced treatment can only be effective if its provider cares about a patient’s individual needs. This is where Dr. John Benkovich and his staff truly shine. Benkovich Orthodontics has built its reputation around treating every patient like a member of the family. Each patient’s treatment plan is uniquely personalized, and treatment only begins once a patient or patient’s parents feel 100% confident. To accomplish this, Dr. Benkovich takes a consultative approach, through which he listens carefully to his patients’ wishes and concerns and takes the time to educate them on their treatment options, as well as the reasoning behind his recommendations.

“I say to my patients, ‘You’re the one starting this treatment, not me,’” Dr. Benkovich explains. “I don’t ever want a patient to start a treatment until they feel it’s the best choice for them.”

Dr. John Benkovich’s orthodontic expertise stems from his dedication to learning as much as from his 25 years of orthodontic experience. He regularly attends continuing orthodontic education classes to ensure that he remains up-to-date on the newest advancements in his field. He also keeps up with current orthodontic research through his numerous professional memberships, which include the American Association of Orthodontists, the Maryland State Society of Orthodontists, the Mid-Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, and more.

Patients who are interested in taking advantage of the free Benkovich Smile Assessment, which includes a complete orthodontic exam, x-rays, and a comprehensive treatment consultation with Dr. Benkovich, and more, can call Benkovich Orthodontics at (410)268-1700 or visit their website at www.DrBenkovich.com.

SEATTLE, WA – 31 May, 2017 – Dr. Jas Walia, the head of Seattle Chiropractic Spine and Injury Center, has been selected by the Whiplash Resource Network as a recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award for his exemplary treatment and management of the effects of auto accident injury.

Dr. Walia has been a practicing chiropractor in the Seattle area since 2002. He attended the University of British Columbia and earned his degree from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, OR. He has received advanced certifications through the Spinal Institute of San Diego in numerous areas, including low force chiropractic treatment with the Activator method, bio-mechanics, and car accident treatment. He is also credentialed in MRI interpretation. His extensive knowledge, experience, and training have made him a resource for area medical doctors and physiatrist.

He also served as an adjunct faculty member in the Physical Medicine Department at Bastyr University for eight years. He incorporates his knowledge of advanced diagnostic testing in his treatment of patients to bring them exceptional chiropractic care. In the words of one of his patients: “Before I came here, I could not even move my neck. In the first session, I was feeling 60% better. I can’t even explain how I feel to you right now. I don’t have back pain anymore.”

The Whiplash Resource Network is a website that provides education and information to help victims of whiplash. The site presents an ongoing menu of helpful articles on topics such as action steps after a car accident and how whiplash specifically affects your body. They also provide contact information for recommended chiropractors, organized by state.

Often, victims of whiplash feel confused and frustrated as they try to work with their car insurers, auto repair shops, and try to find the right chiropractor to help manage their pain. The Whiplash Resource Network aims to make these tasks more manageable. According to its founders: “It is our hope that this site serves the public, lost and frustrated patients and even help newer, inexperienced chiropractors leap ahead with knowledge normally attained after a decade or more of practice.”

Ed Bracey, a childhood cancer awareness advocate, invites others to help him bring awareness and remembrance for his son, Eddie Bracey III, through participation in the Great Cycle Challenge.

Ed Bracey, the father of Eddie Bracey III, is encouraging everyone to help him raise money for children’s cancer research through the Great Cycle Challenge. This challenge is simple and a great way to bring awareness to cancer. It involves setting your own bike riding challenge anywhere across the United States and striving to meet it. They welcome all ages and fitness groups to join them. You simply set yourself a goal, challenge yourself to reach it, and log your miles on the Great Cycle Challenge USA app. Bracey will be participating this June.

After losing his son, Eddie Bracey III, to childhood cancer, Bracey is more passionate than ever for this campaign. Bracey says “Kids should be living life, not fighting for it”. He wants his optimistic attitude and motivational drive to inspire others in helping support the cause.

The funds he raises will go to help the Children’s Cancer Research Fund in finding a cure for childhood cancer. Bracey wants nothing more than for his son’s memory to live on. By participating, he hopes to not only make a difference but to encourage the recognition of his son and the battle he went through.

About

Great Cycle Challenge started in 2015, and after just 2 years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the United States. People of all ages, abilities and from every state across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout June to fight kids’ cancer. In 2 years, our community of 39,284 riders from all 50 states have ridden a total of 3,397,199 miles, and together we’ve raised $4,717,515 in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.

Why? Because over 15,700 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and sadly, 38 children die every week. We’re riding to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve, and we believe that any one individual can make their personal impact to fight cancer and save little lives. So we’re calling on all Americans to get on their bikes this June and join our movement to kick cancer’s butt! Great Cycle Challenge USA is a national Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) fundraising initiative held throughout June.

INNOVATIVE NEW JERSEY COMPANY PATENTS “TALKING PILLS” AS A SOLUTION TO THE OPIOID EPIDMIC

$

MAHWAH, NJ – 1 Jun, 2017 – The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) on May 30, 2017 issued a patent on a potential breakthrough solution to the opioid epidemic. The patent is for both a drug delivery and abuse deterrence device that will be submitted to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing clearance.

The FDA is very experienced when it comes to intelligent pill technologies, but not until the newly patented “Smart Pill Drug Delivery Device” was presented to the agency did they see a solution with potential to solve primary challenges with opioids. The FDA wants “smart pill” technology for opiates to be produced and submitted so it can be efficiently reviewed through every relevant FDA division. To that end, the FDA, in a pre-IND / pre-IDE meeting, provided Pop Test (PT) Abuse Deterrent Technologies with a roadmap of guidances to get there.

For more information, visit: www.SmartPillsSaveLives.com

The Smart Pill Drug Delivery Device prevents overdoses on prescription opioids. It also prevents the ability to counterfeit opioids.  Finally, it prevents the ability to divert pills from their prescribed user to others. The “Smart Pills” communicate with each other and they “talk” to the dispensing pharmacist and sometimes to law enforcement, too. The Smart Pills know the prescribed dosage for a patient, and if exceeded, the Smart Pills warn each other to not open their capsule to release medicinal contents, and this action thereby prevents an overdose.  

The Smart Pill’s also play the role of a medicinal traffic cop.

Experts say the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will see this type of technology as a method to identify and confiscate illegal opioids, as they can “interrogate” the Smart Pills directly.  Being able to detect diverted medication at the pill level is the key to preventing and deterring drug diversion. Interrogation of the pills directly, (e.g., using a ‘wand’, via wireless communication, or other methods), means there will be no doubt as to the content and origin of each pill.

For more information, visit: www.SmartPillsSaveLives.com

Track-and-trace legislation known as the, “Drug Quality and Security Act”, was signed into law in 2013, but has not significantly helped stem the opioid epidemic. The Smart Pills drug delivery system, however, provides digital accountability for every pill produced – from manufacturer to shipper to pharmacy to patient. If a Smart Pill is diverted from its targeted destination, the Smart Pills self-destruct leaving the pills useless to a thief.

The Smart Pill Drug Delivery Device has attracted the interest of Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM), Walgreens (NASDAQ: WBA) Endo (NASDAQ: ENDP), Purdue Pharma, Glaxo Smith Kline (NYSE: GSK), Jabil (NYSE: JBL), Flextronics (NASDAQ: FLEX), Samsung (SSNLF) and others. This is potentially a key solution to solve the country’s most alarming epidemic.  Companies at the forefront of technology and pharmaceuticals appreciate this technology’s ability to control the exploding market for tools to address this problem. Now that the first U.S. patent has issued, (others pending both domestic and internationally), the door is open for a collaborator to work with us to drive the program through FDA approval and then commercialization.

Neil Theise, MD, Lead Scientist for the PT companies states, “Our goal is mandatory Smart Pill delivery of every prescription opioid. This would have a major impact on the opioid epidemic. Politicians say they want to make a difference: We have the answer.  Given the often stated bipartisan interests in addressing the opioid epidemic, this invention is above politics; it is purely about saving lives.”

Pop Test is looking for a meeting with President Trump’s team. With the President’s help, Smart Pills will make the difference in addressing this profound American health and addiction crisis.

About Pop Test Abuse Deterrent Technologies:

The PT companies are a unique operating paradigm with a brain trust of more than 65 scientists, clinicians, physicians, lawyers, and professionals working together without salary, to make a difference in the world financed by “Impact Investors”. The PT companies created the saliva diabetes test with smart phone app and the NASH fatty liver disease saliva test. The PT companies are also developing new classes of therapeutics and are working in collaboration with the National Institute of Health, the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration.
