"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."
One would speculate what competitors might have the most incentive for wanting to hire and equip some that come to message boards to present an adversarial view of ERBB and its investors.
Many companies do not compete in the market place anymore...they cripple their opponent through the power of the tongue.
Combine an unlimited cash flow, with an organized plan of attack, that properly utilizes the MMs, those entrusted to make an honest and fair market, and it is not hard to see the harm that is being done to our investments... This is all JMHO, of course, FWIW...
My one post of the day... $1.11 - $54.34
"The power of death and life is in the tongue...and he that indulges eats the fruit thereof."
WOW...Market Manipulation at its finest hour...
On trades #60 - 120 there was only 1 sell for 747K...yes, only one sell out of 120 trades...
From #60 - 150 there were only 7 sells out of the 90 transactions...totaling 1.7M shares...that's 83 buys and only 7 sells out of 90 trades...
Then #154 - 170 the total was 4 buys and 13 sells...mostly 10K - 50K trades...all small...
Of 12 million shares traded at this time the ratio was 9M shares bought and only 3M shares sold...THIS PPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLYING BY NOW...
But, ETRF and VFIN rose to the occasion on the ask, and knocked down the powerful attempts to break through that the BULLS made...
I would say that there is an agenda being played out here...
And those head fakes of throwing up millions of shares on the bid or ask to scare investors was quite impressive, as well.
My one post of the day... Hang in there...stay encouraged... I still think that can run this pony a bit today... $.11 - $1.11
"For tribulation brings patience; and patience brings experience; and experience brings hope; and HOPE does not disappoint..."
MMs are not stupid...they will miss a great opportunity to run the PPS up...and make a lot more money...waiting for the financials on Monday...
So...let the fun begin Market Manipulators...LOL
You boys have the rest of the day to close strong...run it into and through Friday...and let Monday dictate whether it runs higher with the financials...
You MMs are caught in a NO brainer situation...WE ARE ALL WATCHING YOU...Remember, it's all about the money... LOL
My one post of the day... $.111 - $33.31
"If the blind leads the blind...they both will fall into the ditch."
50/50 buys to sells will not provide the kind of upward movement that we all want. Shorts are fighting hard, as it is very close to the $.025 range when many might start to get margin calls...
So, I would speculate that there is some profit taking, along with some shorts being allowed to cover on the bid by the MMs. OR, would some think that this is just more accumulation???
My one post of the day... Shoot for the moon, ERBB...if you fall short, you still are among stars... $1.11
"Wisdom is glorified in the Market Place. She raises her voice in the STREETS."
Hey Crickets...If I am right....$.021 - $.025 could be some fun time for long investors, and daytraders, as the shorts might start getting some margin calls around this PPS, as it looks like a strong upper resistance was formed between $.0193 and $.0214, which could have marked a good entry point for someone that wanted to take a short position in ERBB...
There were a lot of huge buys Friday, and I would hope that the Bulls will continue to step up and push the PPS higher; aided by daytraders and stock groups.
This thing could break out Tuesday, and really run hard...if the volume continues to be strong. A run that could make some investors millionaires...tomorrow. This PPS could have several things fueling it at the same time...
It looks as if that TV video has been good for AG...and will continue bringing new investors, as it was smooth, laid out well, showed a beautiful machine, etc. This was a great confidence builder and should be part of the DD on the ERBB website, and also on message boards. Keep sharing it and promoting it...
Owning patent proprietary rights also should always be promoted, as this is an asset that is real, has value from licensing and royalties, mergers, acquisitions, and as a potential buy-out candidate down the road.
My one post of the day... $1.11
"May you prosper in all that you set your hand to."
REMEMBER...SHORTS MARGIN CALLS CAN BEGIN BETWEEN $.021 - $.025...which can fuel the PPS and propel it between $.05 - $.10... JMHO, of course, FWIW...
PUSH this puppy...make the shorts squeal...
Nice to see some positive action...
Maybe the tremendous potential of owning those patents are finally being recognized by the investment community.

.021+ is getting into dangerous territory for the shorts to begin getting those margin calls from their brokers... They
The shorts could give this baby a nice boost as they suddenly have to change their investment philosophy...or, really get caught short... LOL
Again, let's not underestimate the importance of those patents... Stephen could not only grant individual licensing agreements, but he can also demand a royalty on every item sold in those machines, etc.
Small volume movement so far today...MM's waiting for big money to come to the party...and, then, it's really going to get crowded in this message room...

"You shall mount up with wings as eagles; you shall run and not be weary; you shall walk and not quit."
WOW...Leases in 5 other states mentioned by Stephen...this company started to get interesting today...and it could get extremely interesting tomorrow...
And, WOW...why didn't Stephen mention that the machines were patent protected...that AG owned the VERY FIRST PATENTS filed using the technology and verification ID, etc.?...WORLDWIDE...
We do have the links for the potential investors to do their own DD, but, I hope that this is not a missed opportunity to become the gasoline that could put out the fires of the short sellers...
MMs were dancing the PPS around - possibly seeing how this thing could run...when they want to take the bridal off the PPS and let it run where the Bulls will take it.
Tomorrow could be interesting...especially if Stephen has further PRs of substance to fuel the run...
Stay encouraged...take your profits, strategically, as to not slow any upward Bullish momentum.

"ASK, and you shall receive; SEEK, and you shall find; KNOCK, and the door will be opened unto you."(ASK)
Over 7,500 small companies were "SHORTED" into oblivion...and it is still going on each day in the OTCBB.
There are forces that are pumping money and manpower into the destruction of the PPS of ERBB. If they succeed in beating the PPS down so low, through tactics that are everything but honest, that creates confusion, fear, and doubt in the hearts of present, and potential, investors, then, they have succeeded with their obsessive goals.
So, a small fledgling company such as ERBB gets caught up in a big money tug-of-war between deep pocketed bears...who are trying to make their profit by preying on the weaknesses of small companies, and strategically throwing their money at driving the PPS lower...
These bears are made up of shorters, offshore hedge funds, daytraders, and Market Makers, who have agendas of their own, who are constantly assuming a role of "controlling, regulating, and making a market", deliberately altering the future of a small company such as ERBB, that should be allowed to control its own destiny... all under the anointing of the SEC.
Oh, how interesting it is to watch the Market Manipulators, as they jockey with the PPS, causing many hearts to flutter. Also, the Bears, and how they strategically hammer away at the bid side with their money as they methodically tear down support foundations that were thought to be safe in ERBB, and thousands of companies like them. They find weak positions and hammer away until they create breaches at vulnerable points of bid size support, in hopes to create panic selling, thus causing long investors to become weak kneed and sell some or all of their shares.
Then, there are the bulls...trying to buy when there is a leak in the dam, and keeping the shorts/bears from reducing the value of their investments.
And, there are the bears that rush in with enough buying power to disrupt the upward momentum of the PPS when the bulls appear to be gaining an upper hand, and getting close to a break through of the upper resistance for the PPS.
And, of course, we know that there never are people with ulterior motives hanging around on these message boards, with intents other than being positive and uplifting in their assessments of ERBB. LOL This is JMHO, of course, FWIW...
My one post of the day... $1.11 - $64.34
"There is victory in the multitude of believers."
Great news, johnnyg, about the patent acquisition…this could be extremely profitable for AG…potential hundreds of millions of dollars for the company…even billions with the right kind of marketing and licensing…
From my limited legal background, it definitely appears that MDBX could be deliberately infringing on the Tomassi patents. The below provides more in depth analysis of the 3 patent comparisons:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=105461719
As I see it, the filing date is the most critical date when applying for patent coverage.
Patent #6,711,465 was filed on 1-7-02 and granted on 3-23-04
Patent #7,493,190 was filed on 1-26-04 and granted on 2-17-09
It is important to note that it took 5 years before this patent was granted. One would expect for the patent to take only a couple of years to survive legal scrutiny. Mr Tomassi was a brilliant man, as he filed the basic patent application, AND, he then, it appears, drug out the patent process, which anyone can do by filing amendments, knowing they will be flagged and sent back to him for correction and/or clarification.
IMHO, Mr Tomassi deliberately waited for the MJ industry, the medical data to support MJ, the citizens to vote to make it legal, the legislators to allow it, and the governmental regulations to be written to stipulate how it should be administered, etc.
The man is truly a visionary…the father of this method of application… to come to the forefront, and catch up with his genius patent application.
Now, depending on whether the patents are 14 year, or 17 year patents,
Stephen has locked up patent protection that began in the first patent on 1-7-02…which was later continued into patent #7,493,190, which was applied for on 1-26-04.
The patent application is the critical date for verification that someone was the first with the idea – the granted patent continues that protection for the duration of the product, etc. So, if an inventor can drag a product out for 5 years during the process, while he is making and selling the product, he has successfully added another 5 years to the life of the patent.
MDBX patent #7,844,363 was filed on 12-4-07 and was granted on 11-30-10…both dates occurred after the Tomassi patents. Now, MDBX will probably claim, legally, that their patent was granted after the Tomassi/AG patents, and, therefore, has narrow, limited access to the industry. This is not true.
ERBB, and Stephen/AG should allow MDBX, and as many other companies that markets and sells products through the same manner to go ahead and violate the patent rights of AG, making lots of money…AND THEN FILE PATENT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.
The MDBX is a very weak patent that claims to do one thing, with their lock box type application, but they also want the customers to believe that their machines will sell MJ products…even though they make disclaimers contrary to the truth…GOTCHA…
If I were ERBB, I would have a team of people actively identifying those companies desiring to get into this aspect of the business, and aggressively marketing licensing opportunities for them…
Never underestimate those companies and/or others that have great financial incentives to destroy ERBB through whatever means that they can…because…if ERBB goes out of business…the patents are NO GOOD…or they can be purchased from the original patentee, who probably has return stipulations in the exclusive agreement with ERBB… Just some thoughts…and JMHO, of course, FWIW…
My one post of the day…
“Wisdom is glorified in the Market Places. She raises her voice in the streets.” $1.11 - $100.00
Anyone know who the ONE company that is in the bidding for the ownership/licensing rights to Bob Tomassi's patents might be?
And, if he was given 1 million shares of stock in a deal just to consider AG, as others have mentioned on this board, then, that was a very good strategic move on the part of Shearin. Major League Baseball Organizations pay off shore free agent players millions of free dollars…just to purchase the preliminary rights to negotiate a contract with them.
IMHO, the importance of this patent, can be worth tens, or maybe, 100’s of millions of dollars one day, and a million shares, when there is 3 billion Outstanding Shares in play, is too cheap on AG’s part.
Offer him more shares…or whatever it takes to buy the other buy out…for, whoever controls these patents have a legitimate chance of ruling the MJ “roost”.
Hopefully, Shearin is smart enough, and aggressive enough, to add some more goodies to the package that can be offered to Robert Tomassi. Some things could be to add a small percentage to any, and all, deals struck with other futuristic companies to purchase licensing agreements that are covered by Mr. Tomassi’s patents. The royalties can be small percentage royalties, that can grow larger for Tomassi, as AG becomes more financially successful. ARE YOU LISTENING, SS? You lose these patents…YOU LOSE THE GAME!!!
The longer the official signing of the legal documents to obtain the patent rights from Robert Tomassi, the longer there are opportunities for things to go wrong. Things such as a company with deep pockets, that can out bid ERBB. And, this is a contractual agreement that should have been finalized soon after the PR was put out to confirm that there was a preliminary agreement. GET’ER DONE, SHEARIN!!! Get those lawyers faxes working over time. Do not play around with something that can make us all, or break us all…I encourage you to understand the urgency of closing this deal with Tomassi…
"We are very excited about the opportunities that have been created with our expanding library of intellectual property. This new IP helps us to create a clear path to development upgrades and will ensure the safest, most protected methods are employed. This intellectual property acquisition will also open new, potentially larger opportunities ranging from segment expansion to licensing agreements with collaborators and competitors alike," added Stephen Shearin, American Green president.”…If this is true…it might already be a done deal…tell it to the world, SS.
Some patent comparisons:

Stay encouraged…the Calvary could be on the way…soon…
“May you run, with endurance, the race that is set before you, keeping your eyes on the finish line.” $1.11
This is possible with the shares offered by NITE on the ASK…BUT…this has been a regular pattern in recent weeks…to set up a wall on the ask, or a huge number, by the AXXE MM, NITE…and other MMs that take turns…which enables the shorts to cover, and scares a few newbies…and some veterans, to sell their shares.
High numbers flashed on the ask…followed by lots of red on the bid. And, there might be a few daytraders just messing around, as there is not enough volume for them to mettle or plunder…
Actually, the MMs are offering the Bears and the Bulls an equal opportunity to move the PPS in either direction... WHO WILL SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY THE LAST 30 MINUTES...
I hope you are right, as a little bit of green breaks the monotony of red all the time. Frankly, one can only speculate and wonder how the PPS went to $.10 earlier in the year…especially with 3 billion shares in the float. We might have to turn over a billion shares during the trading session to cause the kind of initial run that will take this PPS to $.20 and above. Yes, it could rival MDBX with the right combination of events.
Get that float amount down, Shearin, and then we will see what you have to work with, and the millionaires will be made then.
Also, in order for a strong, sustained run that keeps climbing, the long shareholders need to space out their selling of shares when they take some profits, as to not cause the PPS to reverse and lose momentum…
JSTIC…Could you clarify your previous statement to my post…thanks… “OTC Short Report is NOT what you think it is. There is no way of recording every day short volume. It's MM transfers, which tells very little. Could be covering, could be wash, etc. Anyway, no way +50% of the float was short selling today. Sorry, not possible and run 12%.”
STAY ENCOURAGED…Be confident in your DD…Have faith that this company will rise up and be a financial blessing to all that are patient…
My one post of the day… $1.11 All JMHO, of course, FWIW
“Wisdom is glorified in the Market Places. She raises her voice in the street.”
If there was 52% shares shorted...with 16 million shares that were buys...and 14 million shares that were sells on the bid...why did the PPS gain 12%?
Coincidentally, the 52% of the shares shorted comes to a 16 Million...
We need to hear from the CEO...
Tomorrow could be a big day... A timely PR with some substance could be a big boost...
Lots of big holders on this board...I hope that when it does run, they will be selective and sell small amounts into a run and not kill anything big...
Comparing the ERBB/Tomassi patents with a later patent by MDB*...
Also, to know what the USPTO says about the various kinds of patents...and the steps to achieving one:
Patentability
The USPTO tests patent applications for novelty, utility, non-obviousness and description. A marketing strategy applying for protection as a process must also meet these guidelines. [b]"Novelty" means that no protected aspect is already patented and that no one has published or publicly demonstrated the process more than a year prior to the application. "Utility" means that the process has an industrial application and the USPTO finds most anything to be useful, whereas "non-obviousness" means that the process cannot be a logical improvement or process that any person could concoct without specialized training. According to IP Watchdog, the description is key for processes.
Furthermore, the following is a few observations and comparisons between the ERBB/Tomassi and MDBX patents:
ERBB/MDBX PATENT COMPARISONS
Please note that the 3 patents (one MDBX, and two ERBB) used the same examiners, which indicates that the same examiners should have great familiarity with the patents concerned, which would lend me to think that they are two different patents. I would think that the later granted patents would indicate that they are different enough to grant patent proprietary rights to MDBX for patent #7,844,363.
In comparison with the ERBB/Tomassi granted patents, #6,711,465 and #7,493,190, it appears that the MDBX patent makes claims in their granted patent, and in their company website, and public relations releases, that contradict themselves, and bring into question the strength of the granted patent. Both patents were written, examined, accepted as being different…by the same patent examiner, with each having stand alone rights, and the patents have been granted on the basis of the individual claims of each patent.
NOTE: It strikes me as being a bit strange that the MDBX patent only lists 3 reference patents in their prior art search, and their patent application does not reference the Tomassi patents #6,711,465 and #7,493,190 which are all in the same class and field of search…patents that are close to their claims, and patents that most certainly should have been included in the prior art search. The examiner was the same for both, with the same class and field of search, and a patent was granted to MDBX. Obviously, the examiner must have thought that they were two completely different applications, with different claims, and saw them as being different enough to grant a patent to MDBX…without there being any possible infringement potential in the future.
Hmmm…it would be interesting to find out why the Tomassi earlier patents were not listed as prior art patents in the MDBX? It would be further interesting to find out how this could have slid by the examiner, which one might think definitely would scrutinize the MDBX patent, especially after having prior knowledge of both patents, and having worked on both.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/Medbox-Inc-MDBX-680/
From MDBXs Company Website comes another statement which could infringe on ERBB/Tomassi’s earlier patents if this statement stands alone, and not an inclusive statement inter-woven into a grander plan and patent application: “Our Company features a patented machine that dispenses medication to individuals based on biometric identification (fingerprint sample).”
From ERBB/Tomassi’s patent #6,711,465 and #7,493,190, which is a continuation patent of #6,711,465, which states: “Vending machine having a biometric verification system for authorizing the sales of regulated products.”
Even though I have several granted patents, I am not a legal beagle, but these two statements from each patent would seem to claim the same purpose and use for the MDBX and ERBB/Tomassi patents, which should place the MDBX patent in direct violation of the ERBB patent, thus infringing upon the ERBB patent rights stated in patent #6,711,465 - IMHO, as I defer to those more legally knowledgeable.
Furthermore, it appears that MDBX could have infringed upon the ERBB/Tomassi patent, which could have been deliberately…or accidentally, going forward with their business plan, and using verbiage throughout the patent, on the website, and in PR channels to disclaim that they were actually NOT a marijuana dispensary, contradicting their patent statements, which, indeed could look like impropriety, even if it were not.
All MDBX would have to have done was to make changes to the ERBB/Tomassi previous patents, that would allow their patent application to make NARROW claims that their invention was different. I experienced a real life example of this. I had the patent ready to file with my attorney, was looking through a sports magazine and my eyes about popped out of my head when I saw a patented photo of what I was intending to file. I just changed the already patented weight in the handle of a baseball bat (all striking implements) to a weighted knob end of the bat…and bingo – I was granted the patent. This information is used to make an example as to how closely contested certain patents are, and how there are many patent infringement suits filed. And how the patents of each company just might have its date in court on the horizon…

Vending machine apparatus to dispense herbal medications and prescription medicines.
Abstract
The present invention relates to the idea of enabling an individual to conveniently purchase herbal medications and prescription medicines from specialized vending machines. The system provides for the individual to be processed through a central database to be certain that the item being purchased has been legally authorized by an appropriate medical authority such as a licensed physician and has provided appropriate verification to confirm that the individual who is receiving the medication is the correct individual. The present invention enables the individual to conveniently purchase the medication from a vending machine.
The present invention encompasses having a separate kiosk vending machine which can be a freestanding vending machine next to which will be posted an armed guard 500 who will be posted 24 hours a day or alternatively inside a store front where there will also be an armed guard 500. The kiosk vending machine 10 will have a selection of the specific medical substances.
The MedBox is a machine that licensed medical marijuana clinics can use to safely dispense medical cannabis to their patients. The MedBox can hold up to 60 different types of medical cannabis, each of which is pre-weighed before the machine is stocked. (It again appears that the MDBX is intended to be a stand alone “machine” that can be used by licensed medical marijuana clinics to safely dispense medical cannabis to their patients)…while, at the same time, drawing the burden of proof away from their patent claims on to the licensed medical marijuana clinics that would dispense the medical cannabis.
Security is not an issue with the MedBox. Patients are identified using fingerprint scanning technology, which keeps medical marijuana clinics from allowing non-members to obtain medicine from the machine.
MDBX makes these statements on their website: “Our company, Medicine Dispensing Systems, is not a medical marijuana dispensary or patient group and does not provide medical marijuana to patients. We are a full service medical marijuana dispensary consulting firm operating in the United States.”
MDBX also promotes on their website that “Our Company does not engage in the sale, cultivation, or marketing of any products dispensed through our machines (which is plastered all over their website and printed material in bold print).” MDBX further promotes their machines as “a medicine dispensing system that allows patients to obtain vital cannabis products at the touch of a finger. It's a tool delivered to streamline, standardize and automate the medical marijuana industry. The MedBox is a machine that licensed medical marijuana clinics can use to safely dispense medical cannabis to their patients.”
Our Company does not engage in the production, sale, or marketing of any products dispensed through our machines.

Hey Continuity...I would hope that we would hear some good news coming after the weekend convention...
That short position is still very much in play for the "squeeze."
Well said, Jugs...luck is where preparation meets opportunity...
Shearin is a deal maker...what ever happened with this deal...that does not appear to have made its way onto a contract?
Also, it appears that the MDB* patent is a real, granted patent...but, there is strong evidence that they have tried to circumvent the ERBB/Tomassi patents, and infringing upon them...which is probably why they have not sold, or placed any machines to date - knowing that the moment of truth could be close at hand...
One might want to ask..."how could they get a patent granted if there were some obvious red flags looking the same examiner in the face?"
Or, why was the Tomassi patents not included in the MDB* prior art searches?"...especially with the similarities that they share?
More on the patents tomorrow with my ONE post of the day...again... LOL

Shearin would be a smart man if he worked with one, or several, graduate studies programs in major universities. I once did this to gain research data that I needed, without it costing me anything. I did not pursue it, as I was doing other things at the time, but I know it will work, as...
It will bring notoriety to the Graduate Studies Program at the University for doing the medical research;
It will give students an opportunity to do their research on something that can have great health and medicinal rewards for so many people;
The students will get credit for their research in being rewarded a degree;
this is important as the students will do a better, unbiased job than some other researcher, who already have their minds made up, and sway the test results to say the same;
The student and/or University can write their thesis's and or publish the results, etc., as they get rewarded for their research;
American Green gets exclusive rights to the research data and the rights to use it, which will help build their credibility and business;
It might be worth providing the University with a research grant to lock up a deal...$50,000 - $100,000 might do it...
A simple form letter to a select number of universities would do it. I would think from the state of Colorado, or Washington, or California would be good states to begin the search in...
No volume...different story when the shorts leave the PPS alone...
I would assume that shorting at least 33% of the shares on a daily average, minimum, which totals 22 million shares shorted, on average, every day, would still be in play for a short squeeze...
One more observation about the volume...
If this observation is true...the shorts would have only covered 1/3rd of the 22 million ave shares traded on each day...which means that there is a boat load of shorted shares still in the hands of brokers...as the shorts are shorting more shares daily than they are covering...
There could be a billion or more shares shorted by the MMs and shorters...maybe even billions...NO one knows... Hopefully, we will find out real soon...when others join our party...
Some quick numbers on the volume traded the last 7 days...minus today...
There were 149 million shares shorted...for an ave daily share count of 22 million...which totals an average of 33% per day of shares shorted...
Also, as per the video, the trading activity that we have seen for many days on level 2 has been a bit strange...
The ability of the shorts to cover, inconspicuously, under the cover of sells on the bid, and buys on the ask, is masked in the ask side of the activity...
The ask is set up to show strength...or, it can be just one MM, as with ETRF, or VFIN, or any number of other MMs that might have naked short positions. From what I have been observing, for example, after there is an uptick in the ticker, and a buy of shares is posted on the ask, there immediately comes one or more sells on the bid, usually fairly large numbers.
I suspect that this is the MM setting up the environment wherein the short shares are being sold, and the short position is covered. This has been the pattern. Look at the end of the trading today on level 2...in particular, the last 7 trades, wherein there was an uptick, a buy, and then there were large sells right after it.
A strong bid set up entices retail traders to whack the bids, which helps the shorts to cover their positions...
There were 13 Million shares showing up as sells today according to trading tools at the top of message board, and then trades will give you a 15 delay of the volume total... I would venture to guess that a big chunk of that were the shorts being allowed to cover on the bid by the MMs...
10 million sells to 4 million buys...could the MMs be allowing the shorts to cover their position on the bid...or could the MMs be covering their own naked short position...I hope not, but we know how the game is played. It would be great to trap these guys with a big run...
Being as you asked about proprietary rights about oxygenated watering systems and benefits of such...
About Jurassic Oxygenation Watering System...
FWIW, owning a system of this type is a great asset to ERBB and what it is trying to do. Please note all the health benefits that Jurassic brings to the MJ dance... Of course, these are various companies with similar applications. This should give investors a myriad of possibilities of how this company can be utilized by American Green. I apologize if some of these benefits are repetitive.

Oxygen Enriched Water
http://www.oxygenatedwateroflife.com/benefits.html
Why do we need oxygenated water?
• Oxygen-rich water washes every cell with healing, cleansing oxygen.
• Oxygen-rich water is absorbed immediately by soft tissue in the mouth and esophagus.
• A healthy oxygen balance insures rapid immune system response
• Extra oxygen helps cells produce more energy.
• As the fine bubbles rise to the surface, they push gases such as chlorine from the water. This process is known as air sparging.
• An aerobic/oxygenated environment discourages and neutralizes the growth of pathogens commonly found in water that are generally anaerobic, bacterial/viral, and other pathogenic organisms, and will not flourish in an oxygenated environment.
Reasons to Hydrate
• Moistens tissue such as those in the mouth, eyes and nose
• Regulates body temperature
• Protects body organs and tissues
• Helps prevent constipation
• Lessens the burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products
• Helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients to make them accessible to the body

America's #1 Water Oxygenator
Millions are turning toward Alternative Oxygen Therapies for prevention and wellness.
Our pioneer products is attractive, durable and will provide oxygen-rich drinking water for years. Protected by US patent number 6,712,341, The Big Pitcher provides an energy-efficient, steady supply of water that is 99% saturated with dissolved oxygen, the maximum natural saturation.
Our products dissolves oxygen into your drinking water. Oxygen is now no longer a gas, but becomes a property of the water itself. The chemical property of water, of course, is H2O, but oxygen content is a physical property of water, just as pH, temperature and purity are.”
The Big Pitcher freshens your water for exquisite taste.
Oxygen-rich water is absorbed immediately by soft tissue in the mouth and esophagus.
Extra oxygen helps keep red blood cells healthy
Oxygen-rich water washes every cell with healing, cleansing oxygen
Extra oxygen helps cells produce more energy.
A healthy oxygen balance insures rapid immune system response.
A healthy oxygen balance keeps the body’s pH at the healthy level of about 7.4, since cellular energy is being created in an aerobic environment.
Besides the benefits of having more oxygen in your drinking water, purification also occurs as fine bubbles remove particulates (organic and inorganic), physically “scrubbing” them out of solution, as well as oxidizing to some extent.
In addition, as the fine bubbles rise to the surface, they push gases such as chlorine from the water. This process is known as “air sparging”.
And finally, an aerobic, or oxygenated, environment discourages and neutralizes the growth of pathogens in water, which are generally anaerobic. Bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic organisms will not flourish in an oxygenated environment.
Lab results show that water is fully oxygenated within about twenty minutes and that the oxygen will remain in water for more than three hours at normal room temperatures.

Each of these prior art devices teach techniques for the purification of water. However, experiments with the present invention reveal that there is another feature associated with the oxygenating of water which is of health benefit. It is believed that the level of blood oxygen is very important for health. Since arterial blood moves blood oxygen to the outer parts of the body, the greater quantity of oxygen within the blood will allow such oxygen to reach the outer parts of the body. By providing drinking water with a high percentage of oxygen therein, it is believed that the blood oxygen of persons consuming such highly oxygenated water will improve. Ideally, a person should desire 98%-99% saturation of the blood with blood oxygen. Under certain circumstances, it is possible that cancer can be caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood. For example, smokers will typically have a very low level of blood oxygen. By improving the oxygen content of water consumed by the person, it is believed that the blood oxygen levels will increase. Likewise, the health of the person consuming oxygenated water will improve.

Tranzbyte Receives Order for 100 Jurassic Units From iMD
Company Adds Director of Jurassic Water Division
TEMPE, AZ--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2014) - Tranzbyte Corporation (OTC Pink: ERBB) (PINKSHEETS: ERBB) (http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/ERBB:US) and its American Green Division are excited to announce that a pre-order of 100 Jurassic Water units has arrived from its strategic marketing partner, iMD Corp (OTC Pink: ICBU) (PINKSHEETS: ICBU) (http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/ICBU:US). To facilitate the fulfilment of this order, valued at $1,700,000.00, and others expected soon, the company also announced today that Michael Silvia has joined the American Green staff to extend sales and management of the division.
Following iMD's successful acquisition of Lumz'n Blooms, Ltd. a Manufacturer and distributor of products and services for commercial and private growers, the company is holding a sales training in Sacramento, CA where Mr. Silvia will join 80 sales reps and iMD management to detail the technical aspects of the Jurassic system and share future plans for product growth with the sales force.
"Based on preliminary sales calls, our own direct sales of five units with three more being provided to independent test facilities and a University in conjunction with the increased sales force, getting the additional units into production immediately has become our top priority," says Stephen Shearin, Tranzbyte's chief operating officer. "As I said at the unveiling in Avon, CO, where ZaZZZ is retail, Jurassic Water represents the production side of the industry. It's like the transcontinental railroad merging to connect the whole country, from seed to shining seed," adds Tranzbyte's president, David Gwyther.
"We were excited about the opportunity to add the Jurassic system when we first encountered it. After a month of discovering the science and getting the word out, the need for the systems in the immediate future has become apparent. Having a partner who can produce and support our active sales efforts like Tranzbyte is the only way to run a successful operation," says Jim Filkins, VP of Sales for iMD.
"Adding Michael Silvia to the team is a huge benefit to Tranzbyte. His contacts, knowledge and experience are invaluable, but most importantly he's a great fit in our corporate culture; hard working with a sense of humor and a clear vision of where we are headed," concludes Shearin. "I'm very happy to join Tranzbyte. I have known of the Jurassic product for some time, and with my experience in the field, it's obvious that this product and others to come will be 'game-changers.' These are very exciting times and I'm thrilled to be a part of it," adds Silvia.
Mr. Silvia brings 15 years of both direct and distribution channel sales experience of technical products to Tranzbyte, Inc. Coming most recently from the Manufacturing industry, Michael has a proven track record of successfully bringing water chemistry analytical products to the Hydroponics, Agricultural, Industrial, Municipal Water Treatment and Laboratory markets.

"Wisdom is glorified in the Market Places. She raises her voice in the streets." $1.11
And, there is the Jurassic Oxygen Watering System, wherein AG has already purchased, and received, on 4-24-14 100 units purchased at $1.7 million dollars.
$1.7 million dollar purchase...AND DELIVERY of 100 Jurassic units confirmed in a previous PR... So, what is AG doing with them right now? Must be a secret...
Setting up a wall on the ask...allows the short to cover his position on the bid...seem familiar on our level 2's...as the shorts have been handing our azzes to us in a hand basket...
Certain MMs are used to cover the naked short...the shorting MM is very aggressive on the ask...remember VFIN and ERTF...and a couple of other MMs? Remember the sand bagging/head fakes of shares on the ask?
Hey Dig...once the street learns more...about the short position...there will be lots of pump/promoter organizations running to make some bucks...there also will be tons of daytraders...and big bucks that will want to play...and make money...we need these pieces of the puzzle to work together...
Keep putting out the word on things such as locking up our shares, Jugs...
As you know, we cannot overlook little items, that can bring huge rewards, such as this...
I have been a coach for 50 years...can never assume that they know what you want them to know, and we always have to be in a teaching mode...

Copy and paste...
Several different strains of Charlotte's Web...
Charlotte's Web Hemp Products™
The Stanley Brothers began breeding for high CBD cannabis strains in 2009, shortly after their entrance into the medical marijuana industry. Their purposes for doing so were to find more benefits from the plant's compounds, specifically for patients who didn't benefit from psycho-activity; as well as for the potential anti-tumor properties suggested by many preclinical studies.
After meeting the Figi family in early 2012, and discovering 5 year old Charlotte Figi's dramatic success in her battle with epilepsy, the Stanley's CBD project became known as the Charlotte's Web™ breeding project. To date, there are several phenotypic strains that have emerged from the CW project which have low enough THC to be considered Hemp. Currently, only certain phenotypes are commonly used for the CBD infused into Charlotte's Web Hemp Products™, due to the high success rate of these specific cannabinoid profiles in intractable epilepsy.
The Charlotte's Web™ product line is currently dedicated to the life and death cases of intractable epilepsy which continue to fill our national waiting list. Soon though, the list will be satisfied and the product line will be expanded to include products for all who may benefit from CW products.
Direct published quote from Jesse Stanley...JESSE: "We stumbled across it, and now we're just ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO STUDY IT."
Wonder how many companies such as American Green and USEI are willing to research the medicinal benefits of Charlotte's Web strain of marijuana? It probably will be known that this not for profit organization will allow anyone that wants to clinically study their strain to do so...as their intentions are not money motivated...

"In ALL your getting, get understanding...for you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free." $1.11
So true, DC...one cannot "un-PR" that which has come before us...and the media knows Stephen's name and his face...as it has been plastered all over the world...
PPS and MMs were a bit jittery today...signs of great things to come.
I would not be surprised if this thing just took off by itself...without any kind of news. After the break out would be a good time to start piling PRs of substance to take the PPS up a few more notches...
Only 17% shorted shares today...which is the lowest, by far, over the last few months...which could mean that the shorts are a bit antsy about their positions...or some of them have been quietly covering the last few days, with the 40% run up of the PPS, etc...or they might be thinking that something is about to happen...news...good financials...etc.
http://otcshortreport.com/index.php?index=usei&action=view#.U-rNCNJ0xdg
Now, that's encouraging...maybe I will revisit my DD library again...LOL
I would speculate that they were in such a hurry to beat others to market with the Zazzz machines that they did not attend to such important issues such as acquiring patent protection from the one person whose patents you might be infringing upon...and, there were the usual bugs in the machinery that were not worked out...and then there were probably some governmental regulations that needed to be adhered to, as well, etc.
And, could the newness of the MJ Industry, and the lack of experience of the CEO, and management team, in an industry that is evolving so rapidly that the governmental regulations are changing daily, played a vital role in slow downs, etc.?
And, could MM Manipulation, shorters, and message board talking heads, also contributed to instability with OTC stocks?
Just kind of giving my take to your question...off the top of my head...

Lock up those shares at about 10 - 15 times the present PPS...to make it a more reasonable number that might cause the brokers to be a bit uncomfortable about shorting our shares, when the sell price is so close to the shorting price... The broker might not take seriously such large sell orders, and know that they are unattainable, and would probably even laugh at a $50 sell price on a sub penny stock... LOL
Lock up those shares.........
I believe setting a high sell price does not prevent shorting. That's because that price is not obtainable in the near future, so it is not a threat to brokers. Something closer to the actual trading price would guarantee a lock on your shares like .035 to .06 for a current pps of .0035. Brokers would not want to take a risk borrowing shares from accounts being that close to the pps.
Hit the message boards...promote the company...recruit investors...the short position is huge...and it is real...
It has been pumped a bit...and maybe a few daytraders have messed with it...but, this heavily shorted stock is due its day...
Stay encouraged.....have an exit point...and play with the rest...
Lock up those shares.........
I would think, after getting suggestions from others, that it might be a better plan to just place the sell price about $.10 - $.20 cents...as the broker will probably not take serious, and may even laugh at a $50 dollar sell price on a stock trading at $.015...
Iwant actually suggested this and I have changed my sell order to be placed at $.11 cents, which is about $.08 cents higher than where I think the first margin calls will be going out...at around $.021 cents...
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=105194602
I believe setting sale to a high price like $1.11 does not prevent shorting. That's because that price is not obtainable in the near future, so it is not a threat to brokers. Something closer to the actual trading price would guarantee a lock on your shares like .05 to .10 for a current pps of .014. Brokers would not want to take a risk borrowing shares from accounts being that close to the pps.
