Healy World Activates Network Marketing to Serve 45 Countries

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — If you want an example of the power of network marketing—when its engine is a revolutionary product and its driver is an enthusiastic and able group of independent distributors—you need look no further than the USA launch of Healy World.

After a 2019 world tour to introduce «The Healy» to 44 other countries, Healy World launched sales in the

After a 2019 world tour to introduce «The Healy» to 44 other countries, Healy World launched sales in the USA on May 1, 2020, at a time when potential customers still were sequestered.

Many questioned the strategy of a German company launching a product in the USA when «Closed for Business» signs were posted in shop windows from Boston to Burbank. But Healy customers were enthusiastic. So, Healy Members taught their organizations how to use videoconferencing and other online tools to generate May retail sales of more than $9 million. And in June, as word of the benefits of Healy technology began to spread, sales went even higher!

«I’d like to take credit for the explosion in retail sales and Member sponsoring,» says Healy World CEO Andreas Kornberger, a recognized expert in retail consumerism, «but the fact is that the dramatic success of retail sales is largely the result of the commitment of our enthusiastic Members and their patience confronting the challenges created by a launch of this size in a business climate still staggering due to historic challenges.»

To be fair, Healy was doing what had never been done before during a time when many thought it couldn’t be done. The result was often frustrating for customers waiting to receive their Healys and Members working to build sales organizations.

«We had enough product in the USA to support the launch we anticipated, but not nearly enough for the launch our Members gave us,» says COO Carsten Marx, «and supply chain challenges were exacerbated by recent restrictions of air transport of technologies such as the Healy.»

So, Healy World brought on staff and consultants to create systems responding to new transportation restrictions and speeding the throughput of getting the Healy to market. Because getting the Healy to people who need the benefits has been the mission of Healy from the beginning.

Healy Founder Marcus Schmieke says, «We chose network marketing as our distribution method because our goal is to provide the benefits of the Healy to as many people around the world as quickly as possible. Also, the Healy requires a degree of education to fully activate, and we recognize the power of Healy Members to demonstrate and to teach its performance.»

Progressing from the Entrepreneurial Phase to the Management Stage

Management consultants and educators have long warned of the challenges associated with recognizing and accommodating a company’s move from entrepreneurial development to management support and controls. And that transition—because it often is not recognized as essential or occurs too late—has been identified as the cause of failure in many technology companies.

And when a company sells and recruits so successfully as Healy and its Members, that transition comes sooner than late. Which is why Carston Marx reports, «As a result of such dramatic growth in sales, and so as more fully to support our customers and Members, we are transitioning corporate leadership to a more experienced management base.»

One of those changes was replacing Dirc Zahlmann with the consumer-specific knowledge and management-specific skill set of new CEO Andreas Kornberger. (Additional international and regional developments are planned for the near future.)

«We have two motivating commitments,» CEO Andreas Kornberger explains. «The most important we share with our Members: to fulfill the Healy Mission to benefit as many customers as possible, as quickly as practical. The second is to do whatever is required to support the satisfaction of our customers and the success of our Members. Whatever is required to assure professional corporate management and integrity, we will continue to do. We act swiftly to correct inefficiencies or a lack of probity.»

Educating for Success

One of the ways Healy is pursuing excellence is by teaching Members to understand and explain the range of benefits associated with the Healy.

Martin Wittmann, CPO, explains, «The Healy is first and foremost a microcurrent device that is extraordinarily effective for treating local pain and muscle soreness.»

FDA 510(k) Clearance of The Healy

«We applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,» Wittman continues, «and received clearance to market Healy as a Class II medical device for local relief of acute, chronic, and arthritis pain and muscle soreness due to overexertion. When used in accordance with its directions, Healy delivers safe levels of microcurrent therapy comparable to other pain-relieving devices on the market. Unlike some similar devices, its small size and smartphone-app controls mean it can be worn even while exercising, working, or participating in other everyday activities.»

Separate Frequency Benefits

Separate from the 510(k) clearance, the Healy also has wellness applications that use individualized frequencies delivered by extremely low levels of microcurrent to help balance the mind and body and relieve stress.

«These applications,» Wittman says, «are based on emerging science that indicates subtle changes in cell vitality can be affected by particular frequencies. Clinical experience in other countries supports use of such frequencies, particularly in combination with goals and affirmations.»

Healy frequency applications are designed to affect the electrical fields in and around the body – a phenomenon for which the U.S. National Institutes for Health has accepted the term «Biofield»—which plays an organizing and communicating role for the entire organism.

(The frequency applications available in the Healy are not part of the FDA-cleared medical device and do not provide medical advice; nor can they treat, cure, diagnose, prevent or mitigate disease.)

The Healy’s ability to provide superior and convenient pain relief, combined with its ability to deliver innovative frequency applications for improved vitality and stress relief, have motivated enthusiastic customer response in 45 countries around the world, and Healy is investing in infrastructure to continue to serve customers and support Members with the resources they and the Healy deserve.

Hammer & Nails Groomed for Growth in Nation’s Capital Region with 12-Unit Franchise Deal

RESTON, Va., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys, a men’s grooming shop that provides haircuts, shaves and hand & foot care, in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, is pleased to announce it has awarded a multi-unit franchise deal to Ilona Kirzhner of Reston, Va. The mother of three boys immigrated to the United States from the FSU in 1977 and has an impressive history of career and educational wins.

In a first for the men’s grooming franchise, Kirzhner signed on to open 12 shops over the next five years throughout Washington DC and Northern Virginia («NOVA»). The dozen Hammer & Nails shops will bring approximately 300 new jobs to the area.

Kirzhner pivoted her career to franchising when businesses across the country were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020. She quickly found herself in a professional pause. After some self-described soul searching, she began looking into entrepreneurship by way of franchising with the help of a career transition coach from The Entrepreneur Source. When the Hammer & Nails franchise was presented to her and she dug deeper into the brand, she saw strong leadership and loved the idea of a concept that helped men look, feel and be special in a safe and male-centric environment.

«The success the Hammer & Nails leadership team has delivered with this and previous endeavors made it an extremely attractive opportunity,» said Kirzhner. «The more due diligence I did and the more I spoke with Aaron Meyers, the franchise’s President and COO, the more I knew this was the best fit for me. I was searching for a business opportunity to grow long-term and ultimately take me into retirement. Bringing Hammer & Nails, a place for men from all walks of life to escape life’s worries, will provide a welcomed getaway for men around the Beltway.»

Throughout Kirzhner’s career leading up to Hammer & Nails, she has specialized in performance improvement, government contracting, enterprise transformation, data science, change management and change leadership. With a Master of Science degree from Harvard University and a Master of Business Administration from The College of William and Mary, on top of a Bachelor of Electrical Engineer from THE Ohio State University, Kirzhner will immediately become the most educated franchisee in the Hammer & Nails family. Additionally, among several industry certifications, Kirzhner holds and has practiced as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

Kirzhner hopes to have her first location open by year’s end, and is currently looking at retail space in Loudon and Fairfax Counties. Once her first location is established, she anticipates opening at least two locations in 2021, and three locations each for the next three years.

The Hammer & Nails experience coming to Washington DC and Virginia is unlike any other. The atmosphere is low-lit, with soft ambient lighting throughout the shop. Exterior windows are tinted for privacy and the interior is furnished with dark wood and steel, creating a relaxing vibe. Members are greeted by name, escorted to a luxurious oversized Bison leather chair, and handed a menu with complimentary beverages ranging from an ice-cold water to McAllen’s whiskey, all included in the cost of the service. Shops have Direct TV, and every guest has a dedicated personal oversized device, remote and noise-cancelling BOSE headphones for entertainment during the visit.

«Ilona is a motivated, self-made woman who we are proud to call a Hammer & Nails franchisee,» said Meyers. «This is a record franchise agreement for our brand, and we are eager to see how Ilona grows and develops the brand in NOVA and Washington DC. With her tenacity and keen instinct for business mixed with Hammer & Nails’ respected franchise operations and top-tier services, we are confident that the men’s grooming industry will prove successful in her region. When she starts opening her shops, there is no ceiling to her success.»

With 12 new shops in the next five years, Hammer & Nails has a strong future in Washington DC and Virginia. For more information about the Hammer & Nails franchise opportunity, visit https://hammerandnailsfranchise.com/.

About Hammer & Nails
Hammer & Nails was founded in 2013 with the vision to provide hand and foot care, manicures and pedicures, haircuts and shaves to every type of male. After offering a franchise opportunity in 2015, the brand awarded licenses for more than 200 shops and is working to have 150 locations open and operating by 2025.

Citius Submits Mino-Wrap Briefing Package to FDA for Pre-IND Consult

CRANFORD, N.J., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. («Citius») («Company») (NASDAQ: CTXR), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on adjunctive cancer care and critical care drug products announced progress in the development of Mino-Wrap, a novel approach to reducing post-operative infections associated with surgical implants.

Mino-Wrap is a gel-containing minocycline and rifampin film that is used to wrap the tissue expander («TE») used in breast reconstructive…

Mino-Wrap is a gel-containing minocycline and rifampin film that is used to wrap the tissue expander («TE») used in breast reconstructive surgeries. In order to stimulate early consultation and potentially speed the development of Mino-Wrap, the company has submitted a briefing package to the FDA Division of Anti-Infective Products. The briefing package contains information regarding pre-clinical data and a clinical development plan, along with questions for the FDA regarding safety and efficacy data that would be required to advance Mino-Wrap into clinical trials. The company will consider the feedback provided by the FDA in the development of the Pre-IND. There is no set timeline for FDA to respond to a consultation package; however, based on pre-COVID-19 experience, we expect a response from FDA within 60 days.

Mino-Wrap also marks the second collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center («MDACC») who are the inventors of this novel approach to preventing post-mastectomy infections when tissue expanders are used. The Company is currently developing Mino-Lok®, an antibiotic lock treatment for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), in collaboration with MDACC. Mino-Lok is in phase 3 development.

«The published rate of infection for tissue expanders used in breast reconstructive surgery is between 2.5 % and 24%, with an estimated mean at around 12% to 14%. We believe Mino-Wrap has the potential to provide a significant reduction in the incidence of infection, sparing the patient the pain and discomfort of extended hospitalization and further aggressive and lengthy courses of antibiotics in an attempt to salvage the TEs. In many cases the TE is removed leading to a delay in lifesaving chemo-radiation therapy, which can be a devastating consequence for the patient,» said Myron Holubiak, President and CEO of Citius Pharmaceuticals. «We also are extremely honored to be working with the doctors and scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center to develop another much-needed improvement in adjunctive cancer care. The early consultation with FDA allows for the identification of optimal strategies for our preclinical and clinical development programs. We are pleased to be taking advantage of this collaborative approach with the agency.»

About Mino-Wrap

Mino-Wrap is a novel approach to reducing post-operative infections associated with surgical implants. Mino-Wrap is a liquefying gel-based wrap containing minocycline and rifampin for reducing tissue expander (TE) infections following breast reconstructive surgeries. It is a laminate film comprised of porcine gelatin plasticized with glycerol. Mino-Wrap also contains the antibiotics minocycline and rifampin to reduce bacterial bioburden on implantable devices preventing colonization over a sustained period of time. In the setting of breast reconstruction, Mino-Wrap is designed to provide more durable antimicrobial protection of the implant-tissue interface than peri-operative irrigation with antibiotic solutions (the current standard of care). Both porcine gelatin (and collagen) as well as the combination of minocycline and rifampin have long histories of successful medical use in implantable devices in multiple anatomical settings.

About Tissue Expanders and Infection Risk

A common breast reconstruction technique is tissue expansion, which involves expansion of the breast skin and muscle using a temporary tissue expander. A tissue expander is an empty breast implant that is filled with normal saline over 6 to 8 weeks until it reaches the breast size that is desired. In this type of reconstruction, the surgeon will either make a pocket under a large muscle in the chest and place a tissue expander in that space or place the expander above the large muscle. About 4 to 8 weeks after the tissue expansion is finished, a second surgery is required to remove the tissue expander and insert the permanent breast implant. The patient receives either microvascular flap reconstruction, or the insertion of a permanent breast implant. Infection is one of the most common complications of tissue expanders and implants during breast reconstruction, with an infection rate ranging from 2.5 to 24 percent.

About MD Anderson Cancer Center

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston ranks as one of the world’s most respected centers focused on cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. The institution’s sole mission is to end cancer for patients and their families around the world. MD Anderson is one of only 45 comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). MD Anderson is ranked No.1 for cancer care in U.S. News & World Report’s «Best Hospital’s» survey. It has ranked as one of the nation’s top two hospitals since the survey began in 1990, and has ranked first for 11 of the past 14 years. MD Anderson receives a cancer center support grant from the NCI of the National Institutes of Health (P30 CA016672).

About Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Citius is a late-stage specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of critical care products, with a focus on anti-infectives and cancer care. For more information, please visit www.citiuspharma.com.

About Mino-Lok®

Mino-Lok® is an antibiotic lock solution being developed as an adjunctive therapy in patients with central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) or catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). CLABSIs/CRBSIs are very serious, especially in cancer patients receiving therapy through central venous catheters (CVCs) and in hemodialysis patients, for whom venous access presents a challenge. There are currently no approved therapies for salvaging infected CVCs.

BRAINTREE, Mass., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When EarthSafe first introduced the EvaClean® Infection Prevention System in 2016, electrostatic sprayers and hypochlorous acid (HoCl)-based chemistries were virtually unheard of in the cleaning industry. The company spent several years educating about the many benefits of faster, more complete application of safe and effective disinfectants, while also advocating for the establishment of guidelines for responsible use of these disruptive technologies. By 2019, the EvaClean system had already been adopted by some of the most prominent healthcare institutions, senior living communities and school districts in the country, and the company was well on the way to becoming one of the leading authorities on healthier disinfection.

Past successes positioned Evaclean on the leading edge for addressing the COVID-19 crisis as one of the most credible and vetted infection prevention systems on the market. The extraordinary demand for the Evaclean’s front line defense solutions created a need for rapid expansion in supply chain capacity and resources to ensure safe, effective and sustainable implementation across every industry in a post COVID-19 world.

Building upon tremendous growth and wider recognition, EarthSafe has taken steps to solidify its holistic infection prevention platform while moving into 2021 with more autonomy and an even stronger focus on pioneering innovation. EarthSafe made significant enhancements to its key leadership team starting from the very top. Majority Stockholder RJ Valentine assumed the role of Chairman and will zero in on strategic partnerships for product line expansions. Valentine recruited Steve Wilson as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer based on his experience with explosive growth scenarios. Wilson’s background is the perfect mix of cleaning industry expertise and high growth success having built a private equity owned company into the nation’s largest provider of outsourced and managed services for hospitality and entertainment.

Chairman RJ Valentine said, «Wilson’s leadership will guide EarthSafe to the next level and beyond.»

EarthSafe’s newly formed Innovation Department will be headed up by co-founder and now Chief Innovation Officer Jeremiah Gray, whose efforts were integral to the creation of EvaClean. Gray’s group will be responsible for developing products and technologies to enhance and expand its infection prevention solutions and advisory services. Newly appointed Chief Experience Officer Flavia da Silva-Benson will continue to lead compliance and operations initiatives, while augmenting user experience in the core industries they serve. She will oversee all regulatory agencies, compliant marketing programs, set product safety guidelines as well as institute training and operational protocols to support key customer partners.

Incoming and legacy leadership are united in their commitment to secure EarthSafe’s position as a leading infection prevention solutions company and one of the most respected authorities on healthier disinfection for a safer future in the new normal.

Chad Gobel: The New York Times Proves the Importance of Gratitude to Giving

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ten years ago I started Gobel Group with the premise that people give, not because of their wealth, but because of their gratitude to the institution and people at that institution. Nowhere is that gratitude more present and powerful than in healthcare. Over the past decade, Gobel Group…

When I founded Futurus Group in early 2019, bringing together our President, Nathan Chappell, and an incredible team of talented and experienced technical and philanthropic professionals, it was with the goal of harnessing cutting-edge technology from the worlds of AI and machine-learning to empower nonprofits, including hospitals, to identify their most grateful constituents and drive successful philanthropic efforts.

At both Gobel Group and Futurus Group, we believe philanthropy is not about finding the richest person in your community and convincing them to give to your institution, but about receiving the gift of gratitude because you created or provided an extraordinary experience to your constituent. Philanthropic donations do not make hospital executives rich; instead, they help healthcare organizations positively impact human lives — whether they are nine minutes old, or 90-years-old.

For this reason, I was surprised to read how, in its July 21^st piece, the New York Times reported on a national survey published in JAMA concerning fundraising in hospitals. The Times infers there are dark clouds gathering over philanthropy in medicine, calling into question the future of the healthcare industry.

To put the bottom line at the top, the Times missed the mark on its analysis. Consider the numbers they didn’t report on. What the survey data shows in actuality is a proof of concept of both Gobel Group and Futurus Group’s approach of centering on gratitude, not wealth.

The Times piece, titled «Patient, Can You Spare a Dime?» is a disheartening representation of a new paper published in JAMA titled, «Public Attitudes Regarding Hospitals and Physicians Encouraging Donations From Grateful Patients.» Reporter Gina Kolata labels seeking philanthropic donations from patients as an «increasingly common tactic,» stating «most patients are repelled by these solicitations.»

One point the survey data does make clear is Americans, retaining the streak of our forefathers, are repelled by a difference in care based on donor status. The JAMA survey poses a series of hypothetical benefits for donors to gauge if the general public finds such benefits acceptable. Examples include room upgrades, which 50% of respondents were comfortable with, but those figures drop off quickly. For example, only 20% of respondents support increased access to physicians. But as Alice Ayres, CEO of the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy notes, «While concierge benefits vary by organization, the commitment to delivering the same quality of care for all patients does not.»

So, are patients really repelled by being asked to give back to the hospital that has cared for them or their family? Consider the survey results left out by the Times. According to the JAMA article, 85.2% of respondents from the general population sample agreed patients feel good when they donate to the hospital where they received medical care. 77% agreed patients feel good by donating to support the physician who cared for them.

As AHP’s Alice Ayres notes, «expressing gratitude through giving is part of the emotional healing process for many donors and their families.» It is difficult to line up these results, showing overwhelming belief in the positivity of patient donations, with the idea being asked to donate turns off these same respondents.

So, if patients understand the positivity and healing potential of giving, and hospitals are committed to providing the same quality of care to all, then what is their real concern? It is the same issue expressed by many doctors, that wealth and donor status will create problems — or the appearance of problems. The lead author of the JAMA study, Reshma Jagsi, M.D., D.Phil., expressed this dilemma herself, saying: «As a practicing physician asked to engage my patients around philanthropy, it’s occurred to me that this could be a potential conflict of interest. I want guidance to navigate this, to understand what I should do to encourage philanthropy, but also to protect my patients and maintain their trust.»

To be sure, I agree with the overwhelming majority of survey respondents who state doctors and nurses should not solicit donations – this should be done by a gift officer. We also take great effort to partner with hospitals to remove wealth from the equation.

So why not focus on wealth? Because we have found a better way. Employing AI and Big Data to achieve greater philanthropic outcomes, our custom algorithm focuses on patient gratitude, not the size of a patient’s checkbook. By gauging patient gratitude using experience, a hospital system can better tap into the sense of belonging and identity grateful patients possess — leading to a positive virtuous cycle paying far better dividends in the long run.

It turns out our «Gratitude to Give» (G2G) approach is resonating just as strongly with physicians as patients. Derek Groves, Chief Development Officer at Essentia Health, had this to say on the topic. «I absolutely love G2G. One of our clinician champions came to thank me today — he had recently met with his major gift officer and reviewed names from the G2G list. I’ve never had a physician come to me and thank me for the work I’m doing. More often than not, the tendency is for them to come to me and tell me that my work is unethical.»

Ultimately, Gina Kolata and the New York Times set out to paint a picture of philanthropy in medicine as an idea rejected by the general public. But what the survey data actually shows quite clearly is our approach to fundraising is the correct path forward for hospitals. And judging by so many positive outcomes, it is evident the future focus of giving must shift from wealth screening towards the accurate measurement of patient gratitude for greater success. If you want to learn more about our G2G model and how it could be applied to your organization to increase philanthropic revenue, I encourage you to read about us in Forbes and click here to schedule a 15-minute call.
