DD Post ~ Is there a market for BONU?

In short: absolutely. There are three markets that BONU can target: clinical (e.g., hospitals), consumer/household, and military/industrial settings.

To lend credibility to my DD below, let me briefly say that I have a background in neurobiology from an Ivy League university and am currently a clinical researcher at one of the most prestigious hospital-affiliated medical schools in the world, right in the heart of Manhattan, NYC. I work with over 20 chemicals on a daily basis, 4-5 of which are used for sterilizing (ethanol, propanol, formaldehyde, liquid N2, etc…). One of the BIGGEST problems I face is ensuring the brain cells I study are not infected, and if they are, it’s usually because whatever cleaner I used was not effective in sterilizing the lab benchtops and recording rooms. Now that that’s out of the way…

The current situation with hospital sanitation is a very bad one that needs fixing NOW (read more about it here: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=hospitals-bring-janitors-front-lines-of-infection-control). BONU recognizes this problem:

“In 2008, there were over 2 million reported Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) in the US, resulting in 150,000 deaths. The cost of treatment of each HAI is estimated at $15,000 - $50,000 per reported case. HAIs currently represent the 4th largest cause of death in America today.”

The Ygiene206 Sterilant and Ogiene Multipurpose Cleaner that BONU makes is better than the halogens and alcohols currently used by hospitals for many reasons, some of which I’ve provided below:

1) Alcohols are flammable and have a very unpleasant odor (especially isopropanol, it’s the stuff your doctor rubs on your arm before you get a shot). According to the MSDS sheet for Ygiene206 Sterilant, the formula is NON-FLAMMABLE: http://bioneutral.com/Content/assets/pdf/BN_Ygiene_MSDS_206Sterilant.pdf

2) Now, let’s say Hospital XYZ comes along and says they are looking to reduce the odor problem from harsh chemicals used for sanitizing surfaces. BONU would point them to their Ogiene Odor Eliminator: http://bioneutral.com/Home/Page/ogiene-odor-eliminator

How does it remove odors? Simply put, if you have a chemical floating around that smells rather unpleasant and may make patients feel nauseated/uncomfortable, what you’d need is a “binding molecule” - something that comes along and attaches itself to the smelly molecule and thus, the receptors in your nose won’t pick up on the scent. That’s the basic method by which Ogiene Odor Eliminator works.

3) Hospitals and clinics/laboratories are facing the ever-growing problem of evolving/adapting bacteria and viruses. As mentioned in the Scientific American article I posted above, bacteria have the ability to adapt to drugs that target them via DNA mutations, so they may be able to spread around clinical environments rather quickly, resulting in thousands of deaths annually. This is TOTALLY PREVENTABLE! But, we can’t keep using the status quo and expect improvements. So how does BONU tackle this problem?

Simply put, smart chemistry. Or, as BONU likes to call it, “Combinational Chemistry.” All this means is that BONU’s incredibly talented Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Andy Kielbania (PhD from UCLA and postdoc at Stanford), can synthesize a molecule that attacks the genome of harmful bacteria to destroy them before they can infect a host. I won’t explain the details, as they are unnecessary and rather complicated, but it is a brilliant method to target specific bacteria and other harmful agents (spores, viruses, etc.). It’s basically the same as what an antibiotic does. But BONU can create a safe solution form of their chemicals, and use it to sterilize clinics and labs while doing no harm to patients and staff. Because of this brilliant chemistry, the Ygiene 206 Sterilant kills ALL harmful pathogens (nobody else in the world can do this!!!).

4) Toxicity of compounds is a HUGE problem! I was a lab technician during my college years, and one of the places I worked, Brookhaven National Laboratory, had an entire system setup to filter toxic chemicals and break them down artificially. BONU’s products are ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! They break down naturally into stable, harmless compounds that can be organically recycled.

There is a very good reason Saint Barnabas teamed up with BONU, and it’s all those reasons above, and more.
