My guess is that once BIEL becomes profitable via sales and/or licensing agreements they would have to payoff these convertible notes to secure larger institutional investors. Which will happen as long as the Whalens are guaranteed a big payout... and I'm ok with that because in that scenario we ALL win :)
The IBEX convertible notes make for some serious opinions as to what will happen with conversions. I have pondered mine over and over again and there is no doubt this can be seen as a bad OR good thing. With such a low stock price and what most of us believe, very effective products with immense potential, they are a prime candidate for a hostile takeover. Don't fool yourself into believing that the very low stock price we are seeing now is not the doings of one interested in such. Being on the pinkies with little regulation, it would not be hard for one with firepower to suppress the stock for accumulation. If IBEX (family) controls 51%, they can make that impossible. I think it is obvious what the negative would be for the rest of the stockholders. My question is this: Are the authorized shares that are available now, and the reason they were recently increased, for supplying the family's conversion of notes? That must be where they will get their conversion from, correct? If so, when all is said and done, the 'family' is in total power and control of our investment. Not a surprise to me at all since I always felt that we will profit from our investments ONLY when the 'family' (our CEO) allows us to. That is why I laugh at this being a publicly traded corporation. Really? More like a sole proprietorship.
Well said Simps, I couldn’t agree more!! Long rocket ride ahead!!
Regarding BIEL's medical devices and their imminent success . . . .
Hey 7Up
I suspect there are very, very few "off-the-wall calls", to be made to BIEL management, in the future, as you suggest may happen.
Existing and prospective Shareholders of BIEL now generally know what the company has and are pleased and more confident than ever before about its amazing progress.
The press release in January about being added to the UK NHS Tariff on April 1 came to pass on schedule and as announced earlier, for all the world to see in the actual Tariff, nothing more to learn about that. >28 Million Brits with chronic pain and there have already been articles in the British media and websites this week on the news.
I do not want to know the current status of any discussions with any parties as to possible commercial relationships in the U.S., period, until those deals are inked and all parties concur on when to release such news and how. Experienced business people know that such announcements contain launch timing and marketing and sales targets and those are never addressed until foundation deals are made.
Every company I have been involved with, or know about, that has gone through an exhausting FDA drug approval or device clearance process, before going to market, and I have been involved in both processes, would see BIEL's journey as amazing! The brilliance of what has happened is that BIEL did not wait for the FDA to give the necessary clearances, foot, knee, back, general to go to market in the U.S. No, they went overseas, did deals in many countries and were added to the UK NHS health insurance coverage tariff on April 1! For what my opinion is worth, I applaud Andrew Whelan and his team at BIEL for this amazing accomplishment.
I was actually asked recently what the word 'now' means.
Now means the following:
1. ActiPatch listed on the UK NHS Tariff, now;
2. ActiPatch Back trial submission, requested by FDA under review, now;
3. Allay trial for dysmenorrhea underway, now;
4. Migraine trial, now;
Etc.
Etc.
So many nows 7Up . . . . too many to list. Bottom line is that wise investors know that BIEL is poised for great success now and it doesn't take a call to the company to know what's going on . . . .anything else is none of my business, at the moment - BIEL has business positions to protect and I am just not entitled to, nor do I want to know what they are . . . . is there anything else of importance to know?
Back at ya Mtoronto, A very relaxing weekend knowing that NHS sales were starting up.
I thought the 3 clearances were a bit odd with all of the talk about One Product does it All secured with K-Tape.
Definitely agree that 3 Clearances are better than one. The specific 'Back Product' being NHS may even facilitate our FDA Back Clearance.
My best to you and yours
Thanks for the reply.
Doesn't this boil down to IBEX having +50% share control via convertible notes, and in reality all current shareholders comprise less than half of the potential share count if the entire conversion takes place.
What's to prevent IBEX converting and selling ALL their shares over the next 10 years as the SP increases?
With larger investors knowing that 50% of the shares are still on sideline owned by IBEX, their $1000 investment immediately turns into $500 if IBEX decides to convert their notes... or am I missing something?
You are correct apart from the date when they can convert. The date is irrelevant as you observe the family will take cash. Average time a note is held by ibex is over 4 years and only converted when the company needs cash.
As you state though they could if A/s raised convert to stop hostile takeovers
This is a medical device board and bigstick is off topic which is not acceptable. Take all the BS private thanks
Could someone please provide context around NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE section which states "the corresponding shares to be issued on the conversion of these IBEX notes has
increased to 19,658,867,082 at December 31, 2017."
Does this mean IBEX can convert their loan to into 19.65 Billion shares on Dec 31?
I know IBEX is owned by Kelly Whelan so she presumably doesn't want to dilute the SP of BIEL considering it's all in the family... In that case, is the plan for BIEL to just pay off the note (once profitable) instead of IBEX converting the debt into shares?
If I'm speculating correctly, does anyone think they're using this financing strategy to prevent ia hostile takeover by interested parties buying up 50.1% of the shares? If someone did, IBEX could just follow up on the debt conversion, maintaining 50.1% between the Whelan clan... Any thoughts?
pinksheets has info out now for 2017. They did about 454K for Q4.
Total loss now at about 32 million over all these years. Last two years averaged about 500K per quarter....so don't know about the new tools lately talking about a 200K 4th Q for 2017. This next quarter must jump up to a million dollars, and Q2 2018 should hit 2 million...what we basically have done each of the past two individual years.
email me bigstick...the GG&G folks don't want to read our nonsense...

Your picture should be on both the Healfast and the Allay packaging. You can be dressed in a long white coat with the MD OBGYN degree on the left breast pocket. Just don't get any wine stains on it when you pose for the photo.
Gobble gobble on tight cat. Try the Devon Rex.
down here we eat fried turkey all the time...
you'll be picking out your new custom pink Lambo before Thanks Giving...bank on it
no idea why they are speculating on 4Q sales...
doesn't much matter to me. 2018 is the year of the tight cat and BIEL!
no need to do that. the table has been set, the deep fried turkey is finished, the biscuits are almost done and the dinner bell will be ringing very soon. bank on it.
OK Zinmeister...He is a bit over the top with meeting the royals , and hot shot lawyers all over the east coast. Why don't you and he go talk to AW and get this stock moving upward ?
Lee is a very good guy bigstick...
No he is not me...but i'll bet he wishes he was! be nice bigstick
OMG that is too dang funny BigSticker!
On a serious not and just to be clear, I never expected the NHS "Day" to be the reason PPS moves upward. Did someone think BIEL would be plastering billboards all over jolly ole England and with every fish n chips dinner you get a Actipatch Rx? Nope! NHS is about SALES volume...the news was already released in Jan 2018. The next big PR's will increase PPS to the moon (FDA, partners, increased sales, etc...)
Tally Ho!
Devils beat Habs. Now I need BIEL to beat the odds and become a success. Today is D-Day. Go BIEL . Can't wait for the 10k.
Nice to hear from you Milos. Ready for a run to the Cup of Lord Stanley ? All we got down here is New Jersey Devils, but as a NY Rangers fan I don't care. Go Habs ! Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Where do you see PPS of BIEL on Easter Sunday 2019 ? Will Bioelectronics exist as a free standing company or will a buyout have taken place b then ?
Hi Srin
Happy Easter to all.
The best that I can say is that-Recovery X was one submission and we received 3 clearances.
How many calling cards do we need to realize something huge is about to happen?
Trust this helps.............
---Playing the with numbers for Kicks, Mundi Pharma---
becomes an interesting play all by itself for Biel. They sell currently in 120 Countries.
First they are a Deep Pockets Company a Major Pharmaceutical Company.
Second they signed for 9 Major Countries according to Keith's Interview.
Being ULTRA conservative in the number approach let’s say they do
Just 1000 shelves per country this year. VERY CONSERVATIVE.
1000 X 9 (Countries) X 3 (Products) X 6 (each per shelf) = 162,000 Actipatches
just to fill shelves. Now double the quantity per shelf of 12 each.
Now turn that inventory 2 or 3 time a quarter and you can
see where I am going with this.
Add NHS Starting selling Monday
ANDA INC, selling in America
Performance Health selling in America
And well get GIDDY!!
The Mundi Pharma Deal is a SLEEPING MONSTER all by itself.
Remember they have deep pockets and can blast this anywhere they want.
Folks, get ready for smiles the rest ion the year.
We have entered The YEAR of BIEL.
I see NO WAY Biel cannot turn into a SUPER MONSTER!! It has begun!!
To stop Biel now something really stupid and unforeseen would have to occur.
I don''t see that happening.
Response to 128274 on BIEL’s medical device NHS UK launch........
Whattttt????
“we should get an indicator, of where we're headed right away.
News will be spread throughout the UK, and here at home.
The Market should, react or not.
It will be interesting to see.
competitors will see us, and act accordingly.
long awaited, plans for the U.S. may finally be laid out, or not.
Total exposure is at hand
we will, no longer be a secret.
We can even put all the GREAT NEWS,on bielcorp.com,
Wow that should get some much needed attention.
We're in the Big League now,
can finally show who we are.
If all goes well, as it should, we will finally reap the rewards,
sought for years, and years of being calm
steady move forward and upward, like to see, and fully expect,
Oh yes no doubt we will see right away, where we're headed.”
Obvious multi-setup for complaints if BIEL doesn’t rocket in the first few hours or days. Sales and new market launches never react like that. Classic setup for, “see, I told you so, it's all management’s fault!”
So cryptic. I love the posts between these two.
Like this old post from Milo. Go Habs ! Two years is a long time ago.
JimmyZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ...I have a patent pending on The ActiBigStick , The ActiPocketRocket , The ActiCervixPoker , and the ActiAnkleSclong . You can have the rights to all other names, and the penal code will not be enforced by my attorney. If you infringe on me the punishment will be enforced at all costs, and will be only forgiven if many cases of BigStick Yam Sauce , made with only the biggest yams in the patch , are forwarded up north when PPS of BioEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElectronics explodes.
Great post on that other board where I can't get out of the doghouse ... regarding J&J not jumping on this a while ago. Love your 23% of population for NHS and future Medicare patch use. In regard to AW never giving in to the word "NO" , that is certainly true. He is either one stubborn , tough SOB, or just a great scam master. I hope he was the former, as some of his business history looked awfully shady to me.
This stock in my opinion is worth at least .002 - .0025 TODAY. Buying at this level is almost like STEALING, with what's about to happen next week.
Imagine on Monday April 9th we get the green light from the FDA for the back and musculoskeletal OTC Clearance? I would hope the next day the distribution partnerships that may already be, "in the can", just waiting for this clearance to be announced? How much should we be worth at this point - .005 - .0065?
The only next hurdle will be on a date that was revised and verified by SRINSOCAL on April 23rd. I know all the BULL LONGS know whats up...
My reminder is already set.
If this goes our way as expected, the price will take care of itself all by itself. At that point this will be a TOTALLY DIFFERENT BALL GAME! Does anybody think we will NOT break a penny Tuesday April 24th, if we get the expected good news.
April really could be a pivotal month for the company 2Relax. Do you think we see some fireworks next month?
This was from srinsocal a few days earlier...

Thanks Simpsonly. I appreciate your response and due diligence regarding this company. I’m very excited about the potential of this company. I think we all know things are happening behind the scenes. I’m hoping news next week. Keep up the great work.
Hey Chompiee
I undertook with a number of sources that I would not reveal what they shared.
I have also deliberately not bought, or sold, one share since, on the remote chance that what I know may be considered by some dreamer to be Insider Information. I don't believe it is in any way, but my assumptions, made from the info I excavated deeply for, are very revealing.
Let's just say I would love to pick up another 500 million shares, but don't need the aggravation of curiosity.
So, I can divulge what I want, as my DD is my work and no one else's, but I choose not to. I have not shared finer details of it with our group of GG&G, as an indicator to you of my respecting my commitment to others.
My posts, I believe, indicate my 'total confidence' . . . . explosion? Not a word I use lightly and difficult to define that, small, medium, large, life-changing, cataclysmic?
My conclusion? Too much happening that I was able to unearth and too much silence for there not to be very significant things unfolding . . . . It's rarely the presence of intel that is revealing, it is the absence of it, or a change . . . . and detecting wind shifts and climate changes is a proven art form . . . .
Hope all this helps.
Thanks for asking me.
Imminent
Simpsonly- I know you can’t divulge too much but it sounds like with your DD you feel pretty confident things are going to explode soon. Would this be accurate?
Also, I contacted uptick podcast and they were going to reach out to BIEL about another interview. Hopefully April will be that month.
In addition, I believe the supreme courts ruling should be in April. Should that go in BIEL’s favor things could really come together.
When can I get a signed copy ? I think all longs should get a signed hard cover first edition. How about a chapter on each of us decade plus holders ?
Much more reasonable mods here, as compared to the other BIEL board. Good job mods !
Well not the bang that should have happened, but a declining PPS as I predicted. Volume also so low. Very sad on a day when such an important milestone was reached. Congrats to BIEL for an amazing accomplishment. Now show me the money and let me recoup my losses. Twelve long years comes to an end in a few weeks. Make 13 lucky for me and the true longs.
Great info. Thanks
The way they are marketing in the USA is to pack a 720 hour unit with a 7 day trial. Try the 7 day trial and if you don't like it return the unopened full unit and get a full refund. That is what I have read anyway. Otherwise not sure.
I've noticed that the 7 day trial patch disappeared from the US Amazon store, although the product is still listed on the UK Amazon site.
Does this mean anything?
Could this be in preparation for a US distributor getting a licence to promote the 7 day trial? Or is there a more likely explanation like low inventory?
All opinions are appreciated...
Re Jimzin suggestion I threatened him with 5 gallons of whoopass....
Fact Checkers will go crazy - it was 10 gallons and the product is ‘Whupass’!
Go ActiPatch....you know when...
Re ActiPatch medical device.......
Some silly BIEL stats for you srin . . .
Top 15 positive supporters like you, and you all know who you are, mostly GG&G's, some not, have posted a total of 39,266 times, not all relating to BIEL, but most. . . . .
8 of my first 10 posts were deleted because I had no idea I could not reciprocate to those who were attacking Andrew Whelan back in July 2012 . . . . foolish me? Whelan told me that summer that he never, ever read a negative post because it would distract him from his mission - that just knowing it was happening gave him positive energy!
I have kept a journal comprising 877 pages of 11 font - 437,795 words and intend to write a book . . . with a colleague, our fourth one. "The Little Engine That Did!", 'The David That Toppled the Goliath Opioid Epidemic After Thousands had been Killed'. Great journey, great story . . . .
Hats off to Whelan and every one of his BIEL colleagues, past and present, all the positive BIEL shareholders, NHS in the UK for 'getting it' and starting its healthcare insurance coverage for pain sufferers in Britain who are prescribed ActiPatch by Physicians or Pharmacists, FDA for getting it for OTC for the foot and knee so far with back and general OTC clearance to come despite the gridlock . . . . . Tsunami time . . . when? Soon . . .
ActiPatch, the disruptive technology breakthrough for efficacious, drug-free, side-effect free, safe pain management, because NHS in the UK and FDA in the USA say so!!!!!
Personally I believe We will do $600k plus in 4th Quarter of 2017!
Do we get news this week and what do we think it will be?
125,778 March 15, 2018 on ActiPatch Medical Device
Hey Blatch, like your thinking on sales speculations.....
How about this?
Pls see my other posts today re NHS pre-Launch activities, run-up to technical Launch Day on the NHS Tariff, Presume Physicians start writing either the week before or Tuesday April 2nd, tic toc, tic toc, for Rx fulfillment that week and then apply logic to the ramp-up of market penetration and resulting sales.
Now think about the number of pharmacies, clinics and hospitals that will form the pipeline of ActiPatch inventory for the UK.
Finally, please critique my earlier estimate a few days ago that it will take 100,000 ActiPatch devices to prime/fill the retail pipeline. Now presume that order has been filled and the goods are in the UK being distributed at this moment. Now add that to your sales figure including Spain in your post and what do you come up with? Other poster, please critique . . . .
Jimzin is contributing a bottle or two of Covington's Yam Vodka, 'Best Yam Vodka on Earth' to ActiPatch unit or dollar sales estimate contest, rules to follow administered by Jimzin . . . .
You know when . . . .
I forgot to mention this in the other post, can several of our strong Kong’s please retweet’s to POTUS.
It can only help because the NHS is pretty HUGE NEWS IMO.
Re-TWEET !!
It would be nice to see a the website updated before the launch. Allow me to explain why...
Imagine someone stumbles upon this technology and wants to do more DD for themselves. They start searching the internet, scour through all the pages of the website and don’t find any of this TIMELY information.
To much more to explain, but everybody should kinda understand this way of thinking. If they can’t afford to update their website, how do we expect to build from here with OLD INFO, or UNTIMELY INFO. Realistically, it shouldn’t unfold this way before this major revenue stream begins.
IMO, this can only help, and in a BIG way.
What NHS Launch?
The April 1st is just the day the updated list of thousands of products that can be prescribed goes into effect. The public have no idea that day exists and it certainly shouldn't be a day for BIEL to be launching anything unless they have all parts of the program in place.
We have been told they are working on a campaign either with a third party )(preferably) or direct. I would like a bit more details but am not getting worked up about it
I will see what is in the Annual report and it would be great if there was some form of shareholder "call" to tell us there plans. The most important hings is how close to being cash flow positive they are so they can finance campaigns from cash.
