Can you tell us a bit about your business?
Manufacturing apitherapy regenerative technology made from Manuka honey. Topical cosmetics for skin rejuvenation.
What’s the backstory for your business idea?
In 2013 I discovered the photo Fenton chemistry responsible for hydroxyl radical formation in Manuka honey. This was too crazy to say that the molecule responsible for cell regeneration was due to something that lasted one nanosecond and has the power to turn all biological molecules in cells into CO2 and water. It turns out that this one molecule is responsible for recycling in biology. I discovered something that was responsible for cell death but supported life.
Called crazy by my peers I left the science community and started my company. I have developed a revolutionary new science model that identifies dark energy and dark matter along with the He-BEC isotropic singularity model to explain how high energy isotope physics operates in the unconscious mind and I am developing the product into a cognitive healing technology for a range of medical applications.
What programmes, learning or mentoring have been of assistance so far?
We are on the verge of a Quantum shift in understanding. It’s an exciting time to be starting a new opportunity. Hold onto your intuition as it will be your strength when times get tough. No one can provide context for the creation if it is truly novel. Make sure you have a good team of people around you to keep you grounded.
