All great points seven. There is overwhelming evidence that BIEL is gaining momentum. To expand on just one of your points, the Boots relationship. Boots, now the Walgreen Boots Alliance, the first major retailer to stock ActiPatch on it's shelves. Boots rolled out the ActiPatch to 310 stores in 12/2013. After seeing the sales numbers Boots added an additional 275 stores to their ActiPatch program in 4/2015. 585 stores stocking the Actipatch may sound great, and it is. The even greater part is that Boots has a total of 2500 stores in the UK. There is much more growth to come in the UK market.

Boots is not just a UK business. Check out the total scope of their stores:

Number of retail stores by country*
United Kingdom 2,511
Mexico 1,021
Chile 447
Thailand 254
Norway 160
Republic of Ireland 80
The Netherlands 67
Lithuania 25
Total 4,565

The acquisition of Boots by Walgreens adds another 8000 stores to Walgreens Boots Alliance.
