Comella and Stemlogix- do any of you ever "investigate" even in a cursory manner things like "PR" statements and "claims" made via the company or posters? I know I like to. I do it for every company I'm interested in. If company XYZ makes a public announcement that they've got the best "world saving widget" on the planet and are therefor the "world leader" (a term I see used here and via BHRT often)- I mean I'm gonna do some checking. So they've mentioned Stemlogix in the past. They also list about 4 employees for BHRT as of last 10-Q, yet say they are doing multiple trials and lots of "deals" and man, all kinds of stuff. It sorta interests me as to how so few people can accomplish so much work? I mean do they ever sleep or are they super human? So then "Stemlogix" comes up - as somehow "affiliated" I guess with BHRT. I do a simple web search and up comes their web site in position one on google. Great- I start reading. It boasts of them being "leaders" in the field. It states the following, "Corporate Mission

So you're like WOW, so - in addition to being the "Chief science" officer listed at BHRT, she's also doing all this at Stemlogix, is the CEO? WOW, that's like amazing for one person- again, does she sleep? And then you search the Stemlogix site some more- you know, it's being "world class" and doing "research" and all and you figure- wow, where is this great "facility"? Well, on the web site are listed two addresses that when you plug um into google- they are RESIDENTIAL HOMES, and I believe one is even for sale or just sold on Zillow or whatever real estate sites pop up? As in what I "guess" is Ms Commellas or some Stemlogix owner's home for sale is the "world leader headquarters"? Getting the picture how some things turn out to be a bit "troubling" to say the least? How a "web site" and a "PR" can sound like a lot, make you seem like a "big company" and all- but are you really? I find it "troubling" in my opinion. 1640 Sweetgum Terrace Weston, FL 33327 is listed on the Stemlogix "contact" page- but it sure looks like a residential house to me? Also listed is 1310 Leeward Way, Weston, FL 33327, again it comes up as a house, that one for sale/sold I think on Zillow?? So how do you, per that mission statement above "conduct research" and have "labs" for animals and all kinds of amazing "business operations", especially involving "extensive animal research" in a residential house? Just asking? If anyone knows- help out here? This is the age of the internet- a "web site" can sure show some fancy pictures of animals and talk about "world class research" or whatever- but does all that really take place in someone's home with a few people as the entire "company"? Really? I personally would find that pretty amazing- but maybe that's just me? Due diligence - do it for yourself. That's what my simple google searches showed when my curiosity was peaked. One person doing "trials" all over, doing "research" and also running this "animal stem cell biz" as CEO and a whole bunch of other stuff listed in past PR's, wow, I'm am truly impressed if that can all be handled by one person and some of it out of a house? Must be doing better than a lot of smart people and big companies I know and am familiar with? Oh well. Good luck.
