I see you are a fan of Winston Churchill. So the only response I have for you is a Churchill quote, one I rather like. "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."
That is a great goal. I think we'll know better when we get our first taste of what kind of sales they can achieve. I think there is just so much potential. It's just an enormous market.
You're welcome. I am going to re-post it Monday morning before the market opens. I will add any updates if we get any from the CEO from their facebook page, that way any new investors will be able to read this synopsis quick. I know that when one discovers a new stock, it's hard to trudge through all the DD fast enough to make a decision. Hopefully it will help some people make a decision to get on board. I really love this company. Rare one here.
I agree! As as soon as we hear about bulk orders, look out! LOL Very exciting week ahead I can't wait!!! MFST!!!!
10,000 times 200,000 is 2 BILLION! Totally the way of the future, this will take over the whole laser therapy market because it's portable and one third the cost of the usual big, stationary devices. Can't get any better than this, everyone will want one it's so inexpensive compared to the large stationary units which cost at least 3 times as much making this device affordable for every doctor who wants one. Laser therapy treatments cost at least 1000 bucks PER SESSION, so any doctors who buy this know how much money they will make by having one and how fast it will pay for itself. They will see dollar signs. Such a winner MFST.
"Fox's Synopsis" for newbies and anyone else interested:
Why is everyone here so excited here, you might ask? Just keep reading and find out! I have provided links to EVERYTHING. While this is not ALL of the DD, it's a good start, so happy reading and remember to do your DD, and make your own investment choices.
WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW:
The company is in Morocco TODAY demonstrating The Time Machine to 100 physicians and will be in Dubai on Wednesday demonstrating it to another 100 physicians.
FROM THE PRESS RELEASE ABOUT THE DEMONSTRATIONS:

Commented President Bruce J. Schoengood, "After we complete our demonstration and presentation, we anticipate finalizing the initial sales and fulfillment process. This is just the beginning of what we hope is a long term business relationship in the region."

Dubai becomes cosmetic surgery hub ARTICLE
Emirate of Dubai seems to be Middle East’s favoured centre stage where magic is performed on regular basis, with people visiting in search of sculpted body and perfect face.

Dubai - Not so long ago, a UAE-based newspaper carried an article about how plastic surgeons in Dubai expected a surge in business around the festive season. The reason, according to a plastic surgery consultant, could vary from a dress or suit that did not fit to a New Year’s resolution to look better.
But gone are the days when such resolutions were about diet and exercise, or even a new wardrobe. Now it is about mammoplasty, rhinoplasty, liposuction, facelift, brow lift, tummy tuck and cheek and chin implants.
And Dubai seems to be Middle East’s favoured centre stage where such magic is performed on a regular basis, with people flying in from around the world in search of a sculpted body and perfect face.
Dubai, which takes medical tourism prospects seriously, is evolving into the region’s hub for cosmetic surgery. “Dubai is not turning into a plastic surgery hub — it already is and has many high-standard hospitals,” says Dr Mendhy Khan, chairman of the American British Surgical & Medical Centre (ABSAMC).
“Dubai is a safe, accessible and perfect location for top-quality plastic surgery, attracting some of the best medical talent in the world. From a security perspective, there is nowhere in the Middle East like Dubai.”
Dubai boasts of a high concentration of plastic surgeons, including some of the most recognisable names in the field. ABSAMC’s Dr Jason Diamond, a Beverly Hills, Calif., plastic surgeon and television personality, is among the many celebrity surgeons practising in Dubai.
Asked why he started a Dubai practice, Diamond said: “I had the vision of bringing the best America has to offer to Dubai, as I was well aware from all of my (Gulf Cooperation Council) patients that they want the best of everything the world has to offer.”
Patients include the local and expat population of Dubai and the rest of the Middle East and Europe. While royalty, film stars, business leaders and politicians form one end of the spectrum of clientele seeking cosmetic enhancements, there are also people from other walks of life who save up for a “lunchtime” surgery that is effective in terms of cost and time.
An interesting trend is that the male population in the United Arab Emirates is turning to plastic surgery. The Emirates Medical Association says 47% of the number of people who had cosmetic surgery in 2014 were men, which translates to an approximate $82 million expenditure on various procedures, including liposuction, rhinoplasty and face lifts.
What makes even timid souls, who shy away at the thought of a hospital visit, go under the scalpel for a plastic surgery? There is no simple answer — unless one considers the quest for a positive self-image a simple one.
“People opt for plastic surgery for many different reasons but the most significant would be to correct a problem that affects their self-esteem. It may be a genetic deformity, such a large unattractive nose or weak chin and fat neck, or an age-related issue such as sagging skin. The problem may also be an acquired one, such as a nose deformed by an accident,” Diamond said.
“In any and all of these cases, the person in question may have a low self-esteem because of their appearance and the only way to correct this is to have the appropriate plastic surgery done.
“The situation is not different from that of a person who feels that they are out of shape, and goes to the gym to make themselves look better. The difference is that the only way to improve facial appearance is to have surgery.
Exercises will not correct these problems.”
Dr Nic Isse, plastic surgeon at the American Surgecenter in Abu Dhabi, says recent breakthroughs and cutting edge-technologies, such as endoscopy, also trigger the popularity of cosmetic surgery.
“The biggest benefits (of such procedures) are reduced or no scarring because there will be less conspicuous incisions and, in many cases, shorter recovery times,” Isse explained.
The average cost of plastic surgery is $5,000-$50,000, depending on the procedure. As such surgeries are optional, they are generally not covered by insurance. However, many clinics offer payment plans to make the costs easier for patients to deal with.
A market this lucrative cannot but attract its share of wolves. Stories abound of “non-doctors” working from private homes and offices, offering Botox injections and other procedures for a fraction of regular charges.
The results are at times disastrous, with patients sometimes ending up with deformities and diseases. There have been instances of patients suffering life-threatening infections after liposuction, including a young Indian actor who died recently in New York.
This makes it vital that thorough research is done on the procedure and the doctor who is to perform it before a person submits to the scalpel.
However, plastic surgery is here to stay and Dubai is where it is thriving. With reports of annual spending on cosmetic surgery reaching $130 million in Dubai, it is clear that considerations of cost are not likely to stem the inflow of patients who seek to better their self-image.
After all, as Khan says, “From a security perspective there is nowhere in the Middle East like Dubai.”
UAE the fastest growing medical tourism hub, official says
Health care experts deliberate on how to capitalise on UAE’s growing stature
Image Credit: Gulf News Archives
Since Dubai offers excellent health-care facilities, medical tourism is an extension of the hospitality that Dubai is synonymous with.
Published: 16:04 November 24, 2016 Gulf News

Dubai: The UAE is the world’s fastest growing medical tourism hub poised to become the world’s top destination with the total health expenditure allocation here jumping from Dh84 billion to Dh101 billion by 2021, said a top official from the Ministry of Health and Prevention at a medical tourism conference on Thursday.
Dr Amin Hussain Al Amiri, assistant undersecretary for Medical Practice and Licensing Sector at the ministry, was speaking at the third annual health and medical tourism conference entitled ‘Brand UAE’s Medical Tourism Vision 2021’ organised by the Gulf Medical University and Thumbay medical tourism arm.
“In 2000 we had only three hospitals with international JCI accreditation, by 2016 we have 55 hospitals throughout the country with this internationally recognised accreditation. We are manufacturing pharmaceuticals in 14 indigenous factories and this number is set to go up to 18 by the end of the year. By 2020, we will have 34 indigenous pharmaceutical manufacturing factories. The market value of our pharmaceutical industry is set to go up to Dh25 billion by 2025 whereas it stands at Dh9.5 billion currently.”
He added that the UAE was looking double or triple the number of medical tourists in the next five years. “To ensure best practices, we are cautiously introducing patented medicines approved by USFDA (the US Food and Drug Administration) to ensure highest quality care and medicines are provided, and draw patients from across the globe to the UAE as medical tourists and get their treatment in the emirates,” he said.
The conference that was presided by Thumbay Moideen, founder president of the Thumbay Group, was attended by top industry experts from health care, travel and medical and education sectors, to discuss the latest trends and developments in medical tourism and to explore ways to capitalise on UAE’s growing stature. The conference was also attended by government officials, medical tourism experts and representatives from the embassies of Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Somalia, Angola, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Chad, Djibouti, Cameroon, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
Moideen pointed out that the facilities extended to the tourists make the UAE a conducive family destination. “Domestic medical tourism has been growing significantly, and with the ease of information accessible on the internet, we’ve seen an increased element of choice. Moreover, the city’s growing popularity of being conducive to a family experience for those coming in for health care has been a big contributing factor. We understand that people have strong images of UAE as a tourism hub, but we are here to say that we now have world-class medical facilities too.”
Delivering the keynote address at the conference, Linda Abdullah Al Ali, head of Medical Tourism Office, Health Regulation Department, Dubai Health Authority, said that the country was well-equipped to serve its increasing numbers of medical tourists, with Dubai alone expected to see more than 500,000 medical tourists by 2020. “The UAE has turned into a hub for medical tourism and it has worked very hard to achieve this status. Both the public and private sectors have been rolling out plans to build more hospitals, train medical staff and recruit highly qualified expatriate doctors and medical staff to deliver the quality services. The health care infrastructure in the UAE has grown and stretched in a manner that could be compared with those of advanced countries,” she added.
