Well, it was re more orders rather than more products
SS, just to check, so you know that those deals would require more product to be ordered rather than them having already ordered it?

'September should see Iran and the UAE sign distribution deals, and Argentina-Uruguay-Paraguay and possibly South Korea receive the regulatory approvalks they are seeking.'

good to hear dante
would these involve more product orders, or do they have some already?

Very interesting. Thanks for that Share Shark. I just bought yet another box of Cognase and can confirm that sales are going well in Cyprus. The plan remains for Golgi to switch to the new orange-flavoured tablets that ReGen itself will be producing (and selling at higher profit margins) and it may even become a regional supplier to other distributors.

September should see Iran and the UAE sign distribution deals, and Argentina-Uruguay-Paraguay and possibly South Korea receive the regulatory approvalks they are seeking.

Milk, Glorious Milk
Aug 24, 2011

Unlocking the secrets of milk - Ambro2011: New research heralds the amazing medical benefits of mammalian milk.
It seems the most we hear about milk these days is related to lactose intolerance, allergies, or contamination. And these certainly are serious health conditions. However, a new research study published in Food Reviews International offers renewed insight and celebration for the redeeming qualities of nature's white nectar. It is through ongoing research on milk that breakthroughs and treatments of milk-related conditions plus a host of other ailments are also furthered.

A team of researchers from the University of Warmia and Mazury in Poland, Darewicz, B., Dziuba, Minkiewicz, and J. Dziuba, considered the "preventive potential of millk and colostrum proteins and protein fragments." This article is a review of their upcoming October 2011 published work. A read of the full research piece is always recommended to complement this review.

Milk, Glorious Milk
Darewicz et al. introduced their research study by singing the praises of milk including:

Gluten-free products Lactofree offers a range of gluten free products. All 100% real dairy www.lactofree.co.uk•How milk is fundamental to the nutrition and immunity for more than 4000 mammals;
•How milk is chock-full of so many key proteins, fats, minerals, and a list of vitamins, e.g., A & B;
•How first milk (colostrum) serves up unique and precious components for newborns, e.g., immunoglobulins, extra vitamins and extra calcium, etc.; and
•How research has explored the recombinant proteins, "functional attributes, nutritional value, and allergizing properties" of this amazing natural food.
Speaking of proteins, Darewicz et al. provided additional insight on the increasing interest in "biologically active proteins and peptides" in medicine and food sources. Health courses in school may have provided some instruction on the nature of proteins, e.g., proteins are the building blocks of amino acids and are required for energy in living cells. Many students' understanding of amino acids may have ended there.

However, as Darewicz et al. point out, the understanding of milk protein chemistry has exploded in a good way in more recent years. Researchers have taken proteins to task and have reportedly determined a vast world of "biologically active peptides" and enzymes are at play below the amino acid level. And researchers appear to agree, milk contains a plethora of these amazing components. Besides enabling the fermentation processes involved in making cheese and other dairy products, milk peptides are believed to hold secrets of anti-hypertensive, anti-microbial functions, and the buzz word of the millennium, anti-oxidants.

Darewicz et al. do advise that the human digestion process may wreak havoc on some bioactive peptides. The soup of digestive enzymes and acids in most stomachs appears to be pretty tough on milk peptides, and there are other chemical properties at play in the survival and transport of the digested milk components. The researchers provide an excellent overview of some testing on "casein and whey proteins" that followed various peptides into the cellular levels.

Darewicz et al. inform readers about the relatively new area of science called "bioinformatics." While lab researchers have been using statistical analysis to prove their hypotheses for generations, the computer age has given way to mankind's ability to infinitely slice and dice test data. Such was the case in the research highlighted in the University of Warmia and Mazury study. Protein "data" was interrogated to help predict various attributes of milk peptides. By testing and cataloging the results, the medicinal properties of peptides and even fragments of peptides may be identified for further analysis. Darewicz et al. point out that through these focused studies various anti-thrombotic actions and celiac disease studies from various milk protein fractions have been discovered.

Milk Components and Related Research
Here is a partial list of milk components released by various biochemical and enzymatic action and the potential treatment areas mentioned by the Polish researchers:

•Caseins (in addition to those listed above, nervous system opioids, other immunity modulators);
•Whey proteins (anti-hypertensive, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, opioids, stress reduction, and anti-viral);
•Lactoferrin (anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-cancer);
•Lysozyme (anti-microbial, anti-caries, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, and food preservation);
•Lactoperoxidase (anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory);
•Glycomacropeptide (anti-bacterial, caries prevention, opioids, anti-thrombotic, enhanced "adsorption of zinc, calcium, and iron," immune responsiveness, and weight control; and
•Protein-Rich Peptides (anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and in the case of colostrinin, enhances certain immunity aspects and has been studied in anti-Alzheimer applications.
Conclusion
Darewicz et al. have definitely reinvigorated my respect for natural milk. While many of the treatments cited may also require special processing or restricted processing in order to glean the desired effects, I agree with this team that a "new range of applications for milk and colostrum proteins and peptides" are poised to reveal new wonders.

Special thanks to Dr. Malgozata Darewicz, Professor and Chair at the University of Warmia and Mazury, for sharing additional insight with me on the team's research efforts.

£800 million for groundbreaking medical research

Record government funding to be spent on research into diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer and diabetes.

19th August 2011 - Medical research has been given an £800 million pound boost by the Government.

The money will be spent over five years allowing hospitals and universities to develop new medicines and treatments to try to ensure the UK remains a world leader in health research.

The money is the UK's largest ever investment in early stage health research.

It will fund advances in diagnosis, prevention and treatment which will ultimately benefit patients with diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Sharing the cash

The research will be carried out through NHS and university partnerships managed by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).

Those in line for the extra funding include Imperial College London and Imperial College NHS Healthcare Trust for their work in genetics, bioengineering and cancer.

Moorfield's eye hospital and its partner University College London also get a share of the cash.

Four research units specialising in dementia research will share £18 million pounds.

Investing for the future

Announcing the money, Prime Minister David Cameron said in a statement: "A strong competitive science and research base is a crucial part of securing a sustainable economic growth and creating jobs for the future, and we have some of the best scientists and facilities in the world. This investment will help ensure we continue to be at the cutting edge."

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley added: "We want to ensure we can give NHS patients the very best possible treatments and health outcomes. To do this we need to give British scientists the means and the tools to develop ground breaking world class health research."

He went on to say, "Dementia research features strongly in the programme of funding. Dementia is one of the most important issues that we face as our population ages. "

The Alzheimer's Society has welcomed the boost. A spokesperson said in an emailed statement: "It is fabulous news that dementia research is finally being taken seriously and beginning to be treated as the priority it should be. The funding is a very significant first step on the road to bringing dementia in line with other conditions such as cancer, which receives eight times more government funding."

sorry ss, but you just highlight my point that you need to focus on what's actually happening and what's critical rather than the wider picture that's not necessarily of much relevance.
You can post as you please, I'm only trying to help actually.

Dear S_S. We need to get it clearly established - will you be forwarding any of your research to Tim now, or do you wish me, or anyone else, to forward what we believe relevant? Important to avoid duplication. Many thanks. Asmod.
