Therma Bright, Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) is a medical device technology provider focused on addressing dermatological needs in the multi-billion-dollar cosmeceutical industry. The company’s effective, non-invasive and pain-free skin care is based on proprietary technology which has received Class II medical device status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Therma Bright’s portfolio includes products, devices and treatments that have both cosmetic and medicinal or therapeutic benefits, such as for relief of pain, itch and inflammation resulting from more than 20,000 types of insect and marine life bites and stings, including bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitos, black flies and jellyfish.

The Company’s current focus is to market its products online through various social media networks, and to eventually re-establish relationships with major North American and Global retailers.

Products

The company currently has two products on the market and another in the research and development phase:

InterceptCS™ is a thermal therapy device for the treatment and prevention of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex Type 1 virus*. Symptoms typically include sores around the mouth and lips which InterceptCS™ treats by application of controlled topical heat with no risk of burning the skin. When used at the first sign of an oncoming cold sore application of InterceptCS™ can prevent symptoms from developing. Infrared energy and light from the device penetrate the skin killing cells infected with the virus.

InterceptCS™ is available without prescription and comprises a battery powered ergonomic hand-held unit and a disposable single-use treatment activator. Therma Bright has completed prototyping of multi-use activators for InterceptCS™. The company plans to bring to market 5, 10 or 20 multi-use activations at prices that will offer customers greater value than the current single-use activator.

The other Therma Bright product currently under development is TherOZap™, a next generation thermal therapy device powered by the company’s core technology, which is approved by the FDA as a Class II medical device for the relief of the symptoms of insect bites. Therma Bright is testing a new easier-to-use prototype of the device for effectiveness against Zika virus and other diseases carried by mosquitos. Once the technology proves effective, Therma Bright intends to seek regulatory approvals and extend the prototype enhancements to a new commercial version of TherOZap™.

Cannabis

Therma Bright is also conducting research and development on a unique thermal therapy device that would incorporate medical grade cannabis or cannabidiol (“CDB”) sourced from hemp as a cream or gel to provide relief of back, knee and other joint pain. In preparation, the company has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary to hold any technology for use or application of cannabis. Once approvals are secured, the company plans to sell the device through licensed cannabis producers or retailers across Canada and in international markets where use of cannabis has been legalized. The company has initiated trademark and patent protection for its thermal therapy technology incorporating medical cannabis. Therma Bright has indicated it will seek an acquisition to help further development of this product.

Market Opportunity

A report by market intelligence firm Mordor Intelligence put the global cosmeceuticals market at a value of nearly US$47 billion in 2017 and projects it to be worth more than $80 billion by 2023, growing at a rate of almost 9.5 percent annually. Medical research estimates that somewhere between 20 percent and 40 percent of the population suffer occasional cold sore outbreaks. In Canada those figures would mean five to 10 million people, and in the U.S. some 40 million to 80 million, with recurring cold sores, representing a substantial potential market for Therma Bright.

Management

Rob Fia serves as Therma Bright chairman and CEO. Fia has extensive contacts in the investment community and the financial sector as well as knowledge of various Canadian stock exchange listing processes and requirements. His 18 years in the investment business has included equity research and advising promising early stage companies on corporate finance. Therma Bright CFO Victor Hugo is a senior financial analyst at Marrelli Support Services Inc., for which he provides CFO, accounting, regulatory compliance, and management advisory services to companies listed on the TSX, TSX Venture Exchange and other Canadian and US exchanges.

**Based on double blind placebo study, the InterceptCS™ is approved by Health Canada for the claim “For prevention of cold sores when used within 3 hours of the onset of the prodrome.” The InterceptCS™ is not approved by the United States FDA or any claim of clinical indication, clinical efficacy, and/or cure or prevention of disease.

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) Grows Success through New Flowering Rooms, Expanding Distribution Network

  • The Supreme Cannabis Company saw record year-over-year growth with its most recent quarterly report
  • Company’s reach includes six provinces, including prized Ontario, and international market for medical cannabis oil
  • Supreme Cannabis’s efforts to ride industry’s rising tide include acquisition of strategic communications firm to boost its brand

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX.V: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) is preparing a December 10 report to shareholders on the company’s strategic plan for 2019 to build on a year of record revenues and the prospects that an emerging legal industry presents in Canada.

The Supreme Cannabis Company reported in its recent quarterly update that its sales grew by 229 percent year-over-year from $1.56 million to $5.14 million (http://ibn.fm/cGWYF). With Canada’s nationwide legalization of full-range use of cannabis in October and legal retail outlets’ challenges in overcoming supply shortages (http://ibn.fm/nN9Yo), Supreme Cannabis is riding a rising tide in which cannabis cultivators are rushing to meet exceptional market demand.

Supreme Cannabis is well positioned to score in the game despite its junior cap profile. In terms of production capacity, the company’s 342,000-square-foot 7ACRES facility includes room to grow from its initial 30,000-square-foot flowering rooms. While Supreme Cannabis currently grows about 13,330 kilograms of cannabis per year, the company expects to boost its production to 50,000 kilograms of capacity by the end of the year.

The company has also achieved success in lining up distribution channels in the adult-use recreational cannabis market, selling directly to consumers in six Canadian provinces, including Ontario. Its agreement to supply market leader Tilray with product for medical cannabis patients in Canada gives 7ACRES a big-league connection, and the company’s international potential is forming around a recent partnership agreement and 10 percent ownership stake in Medigrow, based in Lesotho, to distribute medical cannabis oil for the international market (http://ibn.fm/pVIQ9).

As part of its expansion and marketing effort following nationwide legalization, Supreme Cannabis reached an agreement to acquire communications firm Bayfield Strategy, Inc., which is expected to help Supreme Cannabis shore up its brand to appeal to the premium quality market (http://ibn.fm/j0q7s).

“We believe that by respecting the plant, the people who care for it and the people who ultimately consume it, we have built a culture of continual improvement where consumers can expect that each flower experience is better than the last,” Supreme Cannabis President John Fowler stated in a recent news release (http://ibn.fm/iTpzz).

“7ACRES flower is focused on pleasing three primary senses: aroma, visual appeal and flavour. Through an intensive phenotype selection-process, we selected our four core strains to maximize the objective and subjective quality across these three categories,” he added.

The North American cannabis market alone was recently projected to hit $41 billion this year by researchers at Amadee & Company, Inc. before an anticipated climb to $95 billion in 2026 (http://ibn.fm/IsvIT), but the ascendance of the cannabis industry should be no surprise, given the outsized attention from the media to cannabis’s wide array of possible uses and its popularity with consumers as legal availability has expanded.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) Mobile Hemp Oil Supplement Powder Packet, ChrgD+, Utilizes DehydraTECH Technology

  • LXRP partners with Cultivating Wellness Inc. (“CW”) to formulate the ChrgD+ premium brand and will now focus on selling it to CW’s national distribution network of retailers
  • The two-gram powder packets are water soluble and can be added to any hot/cold beverage; they are a ready-mix hemp oil supplement that can be added to drinks, such as coffee
  • DehydraTECH has already received multiple patents, and LXRP is a drug delivery platform innovator; the introduction is seen as a first step in the relationship between the companies

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) introduction of ChrgD+ powder packets, which can add multi-spectrum hemp oil to any hot or cold drink, leverages the trademarked ability of the company’s DehydraTECH to deliver cannabinoids. LXRP’s partnership with Cultivating Wellness Inc. (“CW”), which formulated the product, is seen as an important combined effort (http://ibn.fm/HALyy).

LXRP has not only partnered with CW as the manufacturer of ChrgD+; it also serves as the distributor of the product to its national network of customers, such as convenience stores, specialty retailers, national accounts and grocery chains. It is seen as the beginning of an important partnership between the two companies.

In a news release, Chris Bunka, CEO of LXRP, said, “It’s a simple way to add a multi spectrum powdered hemp supplement to your favorite beverage at any time and enjoy its fast-acting, non-altered taste with no oily residue. Lexaria’s ChrgD+ product format is being evaluated by others for use in their psychoactive cannabinoids products sector as per our proven track record as a technology provider to the industry.”

Based in British Columbia, Canada, LXRP is a biotechnology company and drug delivery platform innovator that has developed DehydraTECH technology, which has shown faster and more effective delivery of cannabinoids and nicotine. LXRP’s IP portfolio already includes a patent for oral delivery of all cannabinoids. The newest patents are to protect LXRP’s cannabinoid-infused beverage compositions. The compositions use both non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as CBD, and also psychoactive cannabinoids, such as THC.

LXRP has a growing IP portfolio and will license in any of the countries worldwide where its technology already has a patent or is patent-pending. DehydraTECH is its proprietary absorption technology platform. It hopes to be granted two new Australian patents by year’s end. If patents applied for are issued, LXRP will then hold 12 issued patents within its first patent family, “Food and Beverage Compositions Infused With Lipophilic Active Agents and Methods of Use Thereof.” It recently received two new U.S. patents related to cannabinoid-infused beverage compositions using DehydraTECH.

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF) Uniquely Meeting Niche Market Needs

  • Working to reduce the world’s dependence on pharmaceuticals with natural remedies
  • Providing multiple product lines meeting the consumer’s desire for natural, organic ingredients
  • Uniquely positioned to service two markets that are expected to see substantial growth

Phivida Holdings Inc. (CSE: VIDA) (OTCQX: PHVAF), a hemp-cultivated cannabinoid innovator, believes that the best approach to maintaining health is to use ancient Eastern traditions of whole plant medicine with modern Western principles of naturopathic science. The company has developed products that promote a busy, active lifestyle through the use of natural plant-based ingredients that fuel and energize the body. A large part of Phivida’s mission is to provide food, beverage and clinical product choices that help reduce the world’s dependence on pharmaceuticals.

Consumers are shifting away from pharmaceutical companies and looking for natural remedies. Phivida is supplying this growing shift with two product lines, Vida+ and Oki. Vida+ (www.HempVidaPlus.com) offers a line of clinical hemp oil extracts and capsules. Oki (www.FeelOki.com) is a new line of consumer beverages and health supplements infused with active hemp extract. Oki beverages come in iced teas and flavor-infused water, with four different flavors of each. There is also a line of Oki tinctures and capsules. All of Phivida’s products use non-GMO, natural ingredients; are plant-based; and are vegan-friendly, and of its drinks are packaged in 100 percent recyclable glass.

In addition to products, Phivida is working to educate the consumer through its online Knowledge Center (http://ibn.fm/UM05x). As CBD increases in popularity, the myth around it grows as well. The Knowledge Center is a place where consumers can receive “clear, simple, science-based information” surrounding CBD. The site sets out to answer questions such as why people may choose hemp, what is CBD, what effect CBD can have on one’s body, how to properly integrate it into one’s health routine and more.

The company is uniquely positioned within an industry that’s ready to explode. With laws surrounding CBD changing and a beverage market that’s estimated to reach approximately $14 billion by 2020, the Oki product line is sitting in a unique market niche. Add to this that the hemp extract market is predicted to hit $22 billion by 2022 (http://ibn.fm/VhmfE), and Phivida becomes a company that’s worthy of close attention.

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) and Dermagate: A New Partnership in the Advancement of Women’s Health

  • Partnering with Dermagate to improve the health of women worldwide
  • Working toward qualification of an accreditation that will open more doors worldwide
  • A promising year lays ahead with access to additional medical devices for ETST and an accelerated-to-market certification process for Hygee

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST), a biotech company developing and marketing health-oriented products, has partnered with Dermagate, a fast growing company specializing in the manufacturing of dermatology and wound care products, to manufacture Hygee medical devices. A recent press release (http://ibn.fm/wDFw5) emphasizes that both companies share a concern for the health of women worldwide, making them a natural fit in the production and distribution of this self-sampling kit that allows women to test for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the privacy of their own homes.

Hygee has already been proven successful in detecting chlamydia. Testing for additional STIs and non-STI infections will be added soon. The goal of the current medical device is to help reduce the overall spread of chlamydia and help women avoid the dangerous complications of this STI. By providing an affordable, discreet testing procedure, ETST is empowering woman to take charge of their health. Dermagate is making it possible to produce and distribute these kits worldwide.

Dermagate holds the necessary ISO 13485:2013 certifications that will allow for distribution and has already begun the application process for the new Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) certification of all of its products, including Hygee. The MDSAP will soon replace the ISO 13485:2013 certification. Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the United States are five major markets that will soon adopt the new certification. The advantage of MDSAP, which is also being considered by additional countries, is that one accreditation covers all participating countries rather than having to earn a new accreditation for every individual country.

Next year promises to be a productive one for ETST, as this new partnership will give the company access to additional medical devices for distribution. Certification for the distribution of Hygee in Canada is expected to take place in January. Certification for distribution in various other countries is anticipated in mid-2019. In addition to Hygee, two new nutraceutical products are scheduled to be launched in the coming year.

“The volume of first-year sales for Hygee will probably be far more than anticipated,” Gaétan Houle, president and CEO of PharmaGate Group Inc. and Dermagate, stated in a news release. “We are not afraid of success. We are able to scale the production to any level needed to meet the worldwide market needs.”

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (REFG) Offers First-Rate, End-to-End Payment Processing System to the Legal Cannabis Industry

  • Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions serves the legal cannabis industry with a first-class, end-to end payment processing system
  • Its payment architecture is called “Go”
  • The company’s is committed to helping businesses process payments securely

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (OTC: REFG) provides payment and management solutions to the legal cannabis industry. The company serves this industry with a premier end-to end payment processing system. This proprietary payment system is called “Go.” A FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) compliant enterprise, Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions has its corporate office in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Marijuana Business Daily noted in a June 2018 article that the industry is suffering banking woes and searching for solutions to this issue (http://ibn.fm/qFUYm). This is where Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions comes in, as it is a first-tier merchant processing cannabis industry pioneer. Fundamentally, its state-of-the-art system tracks sales and tax collection and does away with the need to deal in cash-only transactions. The company’s “Go” platform and technology is expressly targeted to the cannabis industry.

Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions permits merchant clients to sign up online on its site. Furthermore, the company provides bank accounts online. Therefore, cannabis providers have a solution to the problem of limited or no bank support resulting from federal regulations still on the books. Also, this system provides businesses with an advanced client management system. A majority of point-of-sale systems can be set up with the company’s gateway, and it lessens the need to deal in cash. This cuts down on security concerns for the legal cannabis industry.

The Sacramento Bee reported in October 2017 that legalized cannabis is still a cash business, and dangerous (http://ibn.fm/LRMrM). This is an issue that Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions is aggressively addressing. It is bringing to the marketplace the first and only comprehensive card processing operation of its type. The company’s system will process approximately 60 million transactions (http://ibn.fm/x2Nnw). The system will securely, safely and in a totally transparent manner issue one million new cards.

Nonetheless, the “Go” system still facilitates cash transactions for medical and recreational cannabis businesses. A business can accept cash with an understanding that it has a safe and user-friendly way in which to manage cash with deposits, withdrawals, spending and transfers all out of one seamless system. At its heart, the system is a link between a bank and a dispensary. The payment solution card enables patients and customers to link checking accounts from any United States bank to their “Go” accounts. The benefit to customers is speed and convenience in purchasing state-licensed products, which they can do directly from their bank accounts (http://ibn.fm/ZIFEk).

Offering the benefits of banking and merchant processing, Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions continues to innovate in the legal cannabis sector. The company’s goal is to help businesses operate legally and process payments securely. Regulatory compliant and dedicated to this mission, Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions offers its customers and stakeholders new ways to do business in a burgeoning industry.

Sharing Services, Inc. (SHRV) Stands Out from Many Small Companies through its Strong Financial Sales

  • Strong sales helped by increasingly successful brand of health and wellness products
  • Recent record-breaking month with $5.8 million in gross sales
  • Revenues of $12.9 million for fiscal first quarter

Sharing Services, Inc. (OTCQB: SHRV), a Texas-based diversified holdings company focused on reshaping how entrepreneurs succeed, recently had a record-breaking month, seeing $5.8 million in gross sales in August. Unlike many small companies, Sharing Services, Inc. stands out by maintaining strong financial vitality, due in large part to its burgeoning brand of health and wellness products, Elevacity Global, LLC.

Since the launch of Elevacity Global in December 2017, the company has boasted sales revenues of over $20 million. This milestone month is the most recent success in an impressive year, with the company reporting revenues of $12.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2018, and $8.3 million in revenues in its annual filing for the period ended April 30, 2018. The company credits its steady growth to several factors, including its emphasis on high quality products, an increasingly satisfied and loyal customer base and its growing team of Elepreneurs (home-based entrepreneurs), who have been implementing the company’s “Blue Ocean Strategy” to achieve its mission of providing high quality products via excellent customer service experiences.

Elevacity Global was launched (http://ibn.fm/a1SDd) as a company “created to elevate the consumer’s health, wealth and happiness through patented nutritional products that are coupled with virtual success training and integrated with a unique rewards program.” Elevacity Global features products such as “Smart Coffee” (a weight loss, instant coffee), “Sound Sleep” (a sleep aid patch with all natural ingredients), dietary antioxidants, “Timeless” skincare, Ketogenic coffee creamer and more.

The company has been focused on expanding its growth through direct selling, either selling products to consumers through independent representatives or offering services ranging from health and wellness to energy and technology, among others. The direct selling industry saw its second highest year on record in 2016, when the industry brought in $35.54 billion. That same year saw a record 20.5 million people involved in direct selling (http://ibn.fm/zU83E). The company itself has grown by 10,000 independent sales representatives over the past few months and anticipates more growth in that regard.

This ambitious company looks forward to continuing its momentum and achieving new milestones in the months to come. Sharing Services, Inc. plans to intertwine Elepreneurs with the Sharing Services brand to create synergy within the business.

QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Set on Developing Manitoba’s Full Lithium Production Potential

  • QMC Quantum Minerals developing Manitoba’s full lithium mining and production potential
  • Irgon Lithium Mine Project provides excellent lithium production opportunities
  • QMC aims to position itself among the big lithium market players

Through the exploration of its Irgon Lithium Mine Project, QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) is uncovering Manitoba’s full lithium production potential. Onsite work has delivered outstanding results, stimulating additional investment in exploration that is expected to lead toward production at the lithium mine on the property.

On the 100 percent QMC-owned Irgon Mine Project located within the Cat Lake-Winnipeg River rare elements pegmatite field, the company has identified significant visual spodumene mineralization not only on the main Irgon Dike but also on other large pegmatite dikes within the property. The discovery of this additional mineralization has led to extensive exploration on the entire property. Initial focus is on the Mapetre and Central Dikes and once the overburden has been cleared from the entire strike length of both these dikes, an extensive program of channel sampling will be commenced to evaluate the lithium grades of mineralization occurring within these dikes.

Many of the occurrences identified to date within the Irgon Lithium Mine Project were initially discovered decades ago. Due to the lack of demand for lithium at the time, the lithium production potential of the region was never fully explored. Through the current exploration within this world-class pegmatite district, QMC Quantum Minerals is positioning itself to be a big market player, competing with some of the industry leaders in China and Chile. This task has been hugely simplified by QMC building upon historic exploration data within the area and having the ability to capitalize on the well-established Manitoba mining infrastructure.

The information and available facilities will help QMC Quantum Minerals extract the spodumene mineralization, allowing the company to produce electric vehicle-grade lithium concentrate. This hard rock extraction process provides yet another advantage, because it is much quicker than the extraction methods upon which China and Chile rely. Chinese and Chilean companies extract very low-grade lithium concentrations from brines. For the process to be completed, water has to be evaporated, which slowly concentrates the element, allowing it to be extracted. In Manitoba, the rock simply has to be mined, which contributes to a much faster turnaround time.

Lithium demand forecasts for the future are very positive. The demand for the resource is set to triple by 2025. Lithium-ion batteries that are used in everything from mobile devices to innovative electric vehicles will be the main stimulus behind the growth.

Analysts confirm that a reliable lithium supply remains a key concern in the battery supply chain. This is why new lithium mineral sources have to be discovered and developed. In addition, the lithium-ion battery production will also have to be streamlined to ensure faster manufacturing.

QMC Quantum Minerals has invested two years of work in the Irgon Lithium Mine Project. To date, as part of bringing the resource reporting in compliance with current NI 43-101 reporting standards, QMC has reported analytical results from channel sampling greater than the reported historical grade. Through the channel sampling program on the Irgon Dike, QMC has reported 1.73 percent lithium oxide over 14 meters. Chip sampling on other dikes on the property has produced similarly encouraging results, with one sample having a concentration of 4.16 percent Li2O.  Along with the discovery of the huge anomaly south of the Irgon Lithium Mine, the resource estimate will almost certainly be larger than the 1.2 million tons previously reported.

QMC Quantum Minerals is a Vancouver-based company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of lithium and other valuable resource properties. All of the company’s properties are currently located in Manitoba and include not only the Irgon Lithium Mine Project, but also two volcanic massive sulphide (“VMS”) properties encompassing approximately 23,000 hectares (57,000 acres) in the prolific Flin Flon/Snow Lake VMS mining district of northern Manitoba. These two properties, the Rocky Lake and the Rocky Namew properties, are collectively known as the Namew Lake District Project.

Sharing Services, Inc. (SHRV) Breaking Records with Proven Blue Ocean Strategy

  • A record-breaking year with a 36 percent jump in sales
  • Growth in revenue and increase in new Elepreneurs attributed to new product launch and the company’s Blue Ocean Strategy
  • Co-founder of Herbalife added to the SHRV team in anticipation of Elepreneurs 2.0 launch

Sharing Services, Inc. (OTCQB: SHRV), a diversified holdings company focused on reshaping how entrepreneurs succeed today, is experiencing substantial growth. The company is on a mission to change the direct-selling industry with best-in-class services through its unique Blue Ocean Strategy. The records SHRV are setting in 2018 suggest that it is doing just that.

The company’s results for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2018, showed revenues of $12.9 million, marking a 36 percent quarter-over-quarter increase. This is a record for the company and follows the launch of products from its Elepreneur and Elevacity Global subsidiaries, the creation of new corporate headquarters, the addition of experienced talent to help drive momentum and its continued commitment to the “Blue Ocean Strategy”.

The Elevacity Global health-and-wellness division launched its new products in December 2017, including the company’s bestselling D.O.S.E.-related products, Sleep and Energy Patches, Elier Mud and Timeless. Elier Mud is obtained from organic, natural moor and is an anti-aging product that purifies and infuses skin with vital nutrients. Timeless is an all-natural skin care product for men and women that helps firm and improve the elasticity of the skin. Both products were well received and contributed greatly to the increase in sales.

Over the last few months, SHRV has grown to over 10,000 independent sales representatives. A new corporate headquarters was established in Plano, Texas, in anticipation of and to accommodate growth. The new facility provides space for a growing customer service department, training rooms and video production. Currently, the company has interests in health and wellness, technology, energy, training, insurance services, media and travel benefits.

As the company continues to grow, new, experienced talent is being added to the SHRV team. Earlier this month, it was announced that Larry Thompson, co-founder of Herbalife International, will be advising the company on the impending launch of Elepreneurs 2.0.

In a news release (http://ibn.fm/KSZsJ), Sharing Services Chairman Robert Oblon stated, “Without a doubt, Larry Thompson represents a wealth of knowledge in terms of how to build successful companies.
