Whatever happened to Hank? The resident ALKM cheerleader has been silent since the middle of last month...

Perhaps the time for cheering is over?

Wow, the price only needs to drop another $10 and we'll finally be in penny stock land!

Today's Fluff from the news wire...

Butterfly Network (NYSE: BFLY) shared that its IQ Ultrasound portable ultrasound will be aboard a SpaceX rocket to test the device in the space environment.

I don't see justification for the drop in the PPS to under $13. I assume it's shorters having a field day since there doesn't appear to be dilution or toxic lending...

Ouch! PPS down below $14.50 now... Is this going from Butterfly to Butterflop?

Alkame Holdings, Inc. Announces Corporate Update
11:10 am ET April 16, 2021 (Accesswire) Print

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2021 / Alkame Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:ALKM), is pleased to provide an update to our valued shareholders.

As our company forges ahead in today's COVID-19 marketplace we are constantly adapting and evolving for long term success.

In 2020, we felt it was our company's patriotic duty and responsibility to temporarily switch our manufacturing operations to produce quality PPE products such as hand sanitizer for first responders and the medical sector. A lengthy amount of time went into licensing, regulatory, compliance inspections, certifications, and formulations. Luckily, we were able to see some wins with sales to the State of Oregon. This allowed us to weather an unstable change in our co-packing business as our clients, which we are dependent upon, were deeply and adversely affected by a massive decrease of retail and distribution sales due to lockdowns. We took this down time to reduce our expenses and focus our energy on higher margin revenue opportunities, such as our own brands to improve our positioning for future growth. We are optimistic as we return to more normalcy, and more and more restrictions ease up from the Covid-19 pandemic.

As 2020 progressed we were able to secure a Canadian distribution partner for PPE products, and provide the necessary information and documentation to allow us to export. While we await the Canadian government to work with this distributor and process the information, we are busy working with our various subsidiaries to refocus on our business strategy and continue once again towards building a diversified holding company. This included our liquid-based food and beverage products both non hemp and hemp enhanced and to begin the steps of providing online fulfillment services, coupled with an immense amount of effort on strengthening our patents and advancing an already successful water treatment technology. We believe this will play a significant role in our long-term stability and value. The Company continues to improve the facility's process technologies in an effort to increase production and lower costs. Our operating expenses and losses are continuing to decrease, and we expect to continue lean operations and focus more in online direct to consumer business applications.

The remainder of 2020 and the first part of 2021 we focused on ramping up the setup of our West Coast CoPacker facility. While we know the hand sanitizer industry is not going away, we needed to be able to focus on liquid consumer food & beverage production, while still maintaining the regulatory and compliance expectations regarding the warehousing and manufacturing of Alcohol. Our new facility will almost double our production capabilities utilizing our additional high-speed equipment to expand production capabilities at our Salem facility. This diverse new production location is a big change for us. By working diligently through these difficult times, the new facility will also allow us to advance our third-party health inspections beyond what we are currently able to accomplish with the Gervais facility, moving us into one of the highest rated compliance certifications available. We expect the Salem facility to start operations in May 2021. We are pleased with the facilities progress along with the vast array of equipment that is now being reorganized and installed for an extremely efficient production space.

While we continue to advance in bringing this facility into an operational status, we have been diligently working with new and existing clients and recent business development efforts have led to onboarding several amazing partners and production agreements to develop, formulate, produce, and deliver quality products in the food & beverage space. Our Company has also begun a process to initiate a multi-channel distribution strategy with our products going direct to consumers and is expected to be deployed over the course of the year. Our recent work on the acquisition of DistributorCorp will provide an online avenue for Alkame to supply Sanitizer and assorted PPE products, as well as any non-hemp related products including our Alkame brand of premium oxygenated alkaline bottled water. Now currently under construction, this suite will enable online purchasing and fulfillment that is being developed to seamlessly provide products to our customers and shareholders. A secondary website for online fulfillment pertaining to our Hemp related products is also in the works under a Shop Alkame portal.

Several of our online assets are in the process of being revamped or developed and built out, including but not limited to www.CbdCopacker.com, www.WestCoastCopacker.com, www.AlkameWater.com, www.DistributorCorp.com. Our corporate website is also being updated at www.AlkameHoldingsinc.com. These should all be ready and complete in the next few weeks. For additional updates and information, shareholders are asked to follow our social media accounts, primarily on Facebook @alkameholdings.

While the pandemic seems to be slowing down the variants are not. The variant is now in all 50 states. We are proud of the fact that we had put people ahead of profits. We have a high regard for human life and thus our focus was temporarily less on making profit and more on trying to help, and now we can get back to more profitable business. While the fourth quarter and first quarter production numbers are below the current facility processing capacity and forecast amounts, which was expected and understandably unavoidable, management is confident that recent ease in Covid-19 related supply restrictions are easing up. Loosening logistical and cargo extensive shipping and offloading delays, along with industry shutdowns, and warmer weather should result in higher production numbers for us over the coming months. We have survived and rode out the worst of the "storm" which has not only crippled the economy, caused the loss of too many businesses, jobs and lives, we have survived and are finally getting back on track following all these industry delays. We are building a company that will be stronger as we have so much potential ahead of us. We continue to improve our facility and process technologies to increase production and lower costs. Much more to follow in the coming weeks. Thank you, for your patience and understanding.

I appreciate you replying to my post. I was hoping that by eventually gaining moderator status, I would be able to correct the listing for this board so that people would have a place to talk/rant about BFLY. For too long this board was still referred to as Bluefly, Inc when that company had apparently gone defunct years ago.

I bought in back when it was LGVW and the PPS at the time was somewhere around 18.50. Was hoping for better performance based on all the hype from Cathie Wood's buying spree on this stock.

Not sure exactly how many people need a personal ultrasound machine anyway, but I keep hearing investors say that there's long-term market potential in Butterfly Network's product.

Butterfly Network Appoints Timothy Trodden to Management Team

And the share price drops accordingly...

Well, for what it's worth, if anyone managed to invest in this back when it was near a PPS of $27, I'm sorry for your losses. This stock appear to have stabilized at roughly $16 PPS instead and may stay there for awhile.

No word on dividends yet...

Speaking from prior experience in penny stock land, it does happen, and usually to the detriment of existing bag... err, share holders. With almost 6 billion shares out in the world, a 100:1 reverse-split would make this very small company look 'bigger' by reducing share availability to a mere 60 million shares.

In the short term, the price will rise accordingly, and it would be tempting for them to do if they know that a mediocre earnings report is on the horizon.

As is often the case with reverse-splits, this will benefit the owners greatly, as it gives them the ability to dilute shares at the inflated market price. While this will give them a fresh infusion of cash, the price will tumble shortly afterward.

All they need to do to prepare for this is to propagate a steady stream of positive-seeming 'news' to help keep the existing price from dropping too much prior to the reverse-split.

I might increase my holdings once the price gets back under .001 pps. This is assuming, of course, that they don't go ahead and do a 100:1 reverse-split to try to make future share purchases more palatable down the line.

While I haven't invested much in this company, what I have has dropped precipitously in value from when I bought in. Hank may be right, however; the value of my holdings in this company may drop down to copper-level money at the rate things have been going...

Fortunately, the amount I invested only equates to a weekend pass at Walt Disney World. The roller coaster ride here, however, is far more entertaining for the price.

Interesting how the price spiked this morning once the notice was released of Butterfly notifying everyone of their end-of-year earnings report...

Not sure if anyone else is even following this board anymore, but I have to ask... What's the deal with the price drop? The stock was in the upper 20s back before Longview merged with Butterfly Network to create BFLY. Since then, this stock's been on something of a consistent tumble downwards, although the recent suppression of a rise in the price does smack of manipulation.

Any guesses?

Question for the board about the number of shares

As someone who just purchased a relatively small number of shares (perhaps regretfully so) of ALKM, I am now wondering how ripe this stock is for a reverse split...

If GM's doing it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10:1 reverse here in the near future.

I just received another marketing email from USSC. This one is offering stem cell treatments to improve 'sexual vitality'.

"Using drugs to get an erection? Stimulate your natural healing response for better and longer lasting erections. Non-surgical regenerative cell therapies."

They include a "call-now" number and a link to an email address, along with their physical address all at the bottom of the message.

US Stem Cell must have some means of delivering this therapy that doesn't infringe on the recent ruling on the FDA lawsuit.

USRM's engaging their customer base. Quoting:

If they're out of business, why did I receive an advertisement from them in my inbox only an hour ago?

Quoting:

"Call Now - Only 10 Spots

Are you tired of the pain?

We need 10 participants interested in relieving pain with cell therapies.

Non-surgical regenerative cell therapies

It also includes a "Contact us today" link which prompts you to send an email to info@usstemcellclinic.com

If USRM were the only SVF game in town, I would agree. However, a clinic that isn't associated with US Stem Cell just opened two offices my area. One in Charleston, SC and another in Charlotte, NC. They have been marketing their stem cell therapy packages heavily on local radio, and apparently are meeting with a lot of interest. I expect them to ignore this ruling and continue to forge ahead, especially since the California suit hasn't had a ruling yet.

Regardless of what happens to USRM, this mode of therapy is far from "cooked" or "done".

Also, it may be time for USRM to look at opening clinics in Vancouver, BC and Niagara Falls, ON in Canada as well as Mexicali, Nuevo Laredo, Juarez and Matamoros in Mexico. If the FDA is going to play hardball, then neuter them by removing them entirely from the equation. After all, USRM has had business overseas for awhile, and the FDA's injunction ends at the US border.

USRM was worried about this as well, hmm?

Why the sudden jump in price?

“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.” American economist Dr. Thomas Sowell

From the SEC website:

Investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission

(https://www.sec.gov/fast-answers/answersinvestghtm.html)

"Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations are conducted confidentially to protect evidence and reputations. Important documents could be destroyed if an investigation is publicly announced, so confidential treatment may help to preserve key evidence in a case. A confidential process also protects the reputations of companies and individuals where the SEC finds no wrongdoing by the firm or the individuals that were the subject of the investigation. As a result, the SEC generally will not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation unless and until it becomes a matter of public record."

Interesting that, more than 3 months after USRM made a public announcement about the SEC's subpoena, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever on the SEC's Enforcement section of their website about an active investigation of USRM. Perhaps this is why...


How Investigations Work

(https://www.sec.gov/enforce/how-investigations-work.html)

"All SEC investigations are conducted privately. Facts are developed to the fullest extent possible through informal inquiry, interviewing witnesses, examining brokerage records, reviewing trading data, and other methods. With a formal order of investigation, the Division's staff may compel witnesses by subpoena to testify and produce books, records, and other relevant documents. Following an investigation, SEC staff present their findings to the Commission for its review. The Commission can authorize the staff to file a case in federal court or bring an administrative action. In many cases, the Commission and the party charged decide to settle a matter without trial."

If the matter was indeed settled behind closed doors, USRM has been lax in posting the settlement info in a press release, but they are under no requirement to make a public announcement. It would more probably show up as part of the next 10-q, however.

It's also just as likely that there was no finding of fault against USRM by the SEC and that the matter was dropped completely.

It would appear that a malicious actor worked on his/her own to have those videos removed. I called US Stem Cell yesterday as soon as I learned about the missing videos and apparently they worked rather swiftly afterward to either re-upload them or have the existing ones reinstated.

It didn't really surprise me that something like this could have been perpetrated. After all, those videos magically vanished not long after I and others began touting them on this board as proof that USRM's therapies are effective. When you force the deletion of that evidence, it suddenly becomes easier to deny the assertion that USRM's treatments really work.

An investigation into this should prove quite enlightening. IP captures by Google should easily illuminate the perpetrator(s).

I certainly hope so. No injunction has been handed down by a judge, so USRM is currently under no obligation to stop selling anything. At this point, the more of those kits they sell, the better!

USRM Releases Video Primer on Stem Cell Therapy

Autologous Stem Cell Therapy May Hold Key to Regeneration

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. (OTC: USRM), a leader in the development of proprietary, physician-based stem cell therapies and novel regenerative medicine solutions, announced the release of USRM Chief Science Officer Dr. Kristin Comella's Stem Cell 101 Webinar, now available for complimentary playback via live link, http://www.brainshark.com/Stemlogix/vu?pi=zGWzp5LSBz5OLvz0.

Dr. Comella, a world renowned expert in the development and clinical application of autologous stem cell products and therapies, is one voice in a growing movement recognizing the power of regenerative medicine and, in particular, autologous stem cell therapy. Recently, Dr. Comella and her team were the first in the world to publish in-human results in the scientific literature about adipose-derived, autologous stem cells for the treatment of psoriasis -- a chronic, painful skin condition that affects more than 7 million Americans every year.

Dr. Comella is frequently published in the scientific literature on the practical application of autologous stem cells for regenerative medicine. Her work is currently under review by the FDA, who last week announced a lawsuit against USRM's clinic which would prevent Americans from having access to their own stem cells and would instead require them to classify their own stem cells as a drug. USRM and its affiliates have vowed to defend the rights of its clients and the practice of regenerative stem cell therapy and its applications.

USRM's leadership in adipose-derived, autologous stem cell therapy continues to inspire other organizations and physicians -- 700+ clinicians and 287+ clinics -- many of whom train and certify in stem cell therapy with Dr. Comella and her team, virtually or in person, at U.S. Stem Cell Clinic in Sunrise, Florida.

The video testimonials of any of their clients are more objective than any non-scientific dismissal of the efficacy of USRM's treatments and therapy regimens. Ignoring the wealth of evidence readily available with a simple search in Google, Bing or Youtube is just that, willful ignorance.

Meanwhile, I'm more apt to trust the word of the person who developed products that have successfully treated over SIX THOUSAND people and have only documented adverse outcomes for four people.

All of those therapies were developed in part by Dr. Comella PRIOR to her obtaining her doctorate. USRM's success rate speaks much better than the speculative rantings of a reporter with dubious credentials.

Furthermore, a Pulitzer is given out with the same frequency that prescriptions are for FDA-approved opioids. It's no different than the standards now applied to the awarding of the Nobel Peace prize. In essence, a Pulitzer is utterly worthless.

Michael Hiltzik, author of the L.A. Times hit piece on USRM, is apparently as trustworthy as Jayson Blair, formerly of the New York Times.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hiltzik


"In 2006, Hiltzik was suspended without pay from the LA Times for sockpuppeting on his blog "The Golden State". Hiltzik admitted to posting under false names on multiple sites, using the pseudonym "Mikekoshi" to criticize commentators Hugh Hewitt and Patrick Frey. In December 2009, the LA Times announced that Hiltzik would be returning to the paper as a business columnist."

The FDA's guidance in this instance is ... misguided. A jury will agree, and the FDA has to realize that a jury trial will be the worst thing for their case, as all defendants will endlessly hammer the point that the FDA wants to tell you what you can and cannot do with your own body.

All their lawyers would have to then do is introduce the mere suggestion that this lawsuit could be the first step in an end-run around Rowe Vs. Wade or something to that effect to further cement the case AGAINST the FDA. Imagine the tagline "The FDA now says 'Your body, OUR choice!' " during closing arguments.

“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.” American economist Dr. Thomas Sowell

It isn't a drug, or a 'pharmaceutical' either, in case anyone attempts to suggest that.

Quoting:

“The FDA has recently issued language that would classify SVF from the fat in your own body as a drug and physicians are now fighting to be able to continue using it on patients as a surgical procedure,” says Concolino. “However, SVF would never come in a bottle like a pharmaceutical since it has to be made fresh on location in the operating room from a person’s body and used immediately.”

What is SVF?

again, quoting:

"The process, which takes from two to three hours, is similar to liposuction except patients are put under local anesthesia and doctors remove less than two ounces of fat to obtain the SVF. However, the price tag is comparable — the procedure can range between $6,000 and $10,000. “We store the patient’s fat, usually from his abdomen, with a special sterile harvesting technology and the fast extraction itself takes about 20 minutes,” says Concolino. After the stem cells are deposited back into the patient, they start repairing tissue and forming new blood vessels on cartilage and bone."

To put it simply, cellular material is taken from a patient. The only thing that is done to that material is to remove all unnecessary fat, etc to isolate the stem cells. Then the patient's own stem cells are re-introduced to the body in targeted locations to encourage those damaged parts of the body to heal itself. No third-party biological material is included, and the shelf-life of such a product is so short that it MUST be done as part of an in-house surgical procedure.

A recent success story with SVF is Tarek El Moussa's back procedure.

The FDA is hell-bent on regulating your body, and this lawsuit is going to determine whether or not the federal government should have sole and primary jurisdiction over what you can do to/with the contents of your body.

“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.” American economist Dr. Thomas Sowell

Quoting someone who isn't an un-elected bureaucrat:

"The FDA has recently issued language that would classify SVF from the fat in your own body as a drug and physicians are now fighting to be able to continue using it on patients as a surgical procedure,” says Concolino. “However, SVF would never come in a bottle like a pharmaceutical since it has to be made fresh on location in the operating room from a person’s body and used immediately.”

If that FDA/DOJ lawsuit makes it in front of a jury, expect those jurors to hear how the FDA intends to take possession of an individuals cells and enforce regulations on them. Even if it's just jury nullification, expect them to rule against the DOJ and the FDA, just as they did in Howard Root's case (http://www.howardroot.com).

Dr. Comella's PhD source is immaterial as all of the research done and therapies developed by her for USRM happened well before she attained her doctorate.

And as I just stated, those therapies WORK, given the success rate USRM has had over the course of treating SIX THOUSAND+ people, with only an adverse outcome count at FOUR. That's an almost .0006% potential adverse outcome for their treatments.

What's the adverse treatment percentage for all of those FDA-approved opioids currently on the market?

Ah, Wired magazine, a veritable paragon of medical journalism whose headlines include the awe-inspiring "Star Wars and the Battle of the Ever-More-Toxic Fan Culture", and the scintillating "These Physicists Watched a Clock Tick for 14 Years Straight" among many, many others...
