Why do people like buffet-style food so much? It’s because there is always something for everyone, no matter what their taste or preference. The same concept holds true for a company in the biopharmaceutical business when trying to attract investors and customers. Nutra Pharma Corporation (OTCQB: NPHC) markets pharmaceuticals for the treatment of pain under the brand Nyloxin and also has a product for pets under the name Pet-Pain Away.

Nyloxin is offered over the counter without a prescription and can be taken by people with chronic pain without the worry of habit-forming narcotics. The company also offers products for the management of neurological disorders, cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), and pain.

The biopharmaceutical business is very competitive, so you need to have something for everyone, whether that is over the counter or prescription medications. Nutra Pharma has both and is poised for a breakout year in 2016 after a recent letter to shareholders from Rik J. Deitsch, CEO of the company. In the letter, Mr. Deitsch recaps a very busy 2015 and highlights the launch of its first new product in over two years (Pet Pain-Away).

Nutra Pharma plans to distribute Nyloxin in Canada and has also received acceptance for Nyloxin by the medical authority in China. As a result, people in those countries will be able to walk to their local Walgreens (NASDAQ: WBA) (or the native equivalent of) in both Canada and China to purchase some of the company’s proprietary pain reliever in the very near future. Nyloxin definitely gives you more bang for your buck in that it is 300 times stronger than aspirin.

Headaches, backaches, joint pain, muscle soreness and pains of any sort are no reason to miss out on the joys of life. Nutra Pharma offers an all-natural form of pain relief that is non-toxic and non-narcotic, which can be used by recovering addicts to treat all forms of pain without the worry of a relapse. Whatever your pain relief needs, Nutra Pharma has you covered.

The laboratory testing market is huge. According to a study conducted by Quest Diagnostics, the largest clinical testing laboratory in the U.S., the laboratory testing market in the United States is approximately $50 billion. Of that, 60% is controlled by hospital-based laboratories. Another 35% of the market is held by independent clinical laboratories, and physician office laboratories (POLs) hold the remaining 5%. Within this $50 billion market, most of the testing performed is for routine lab tests (such as total cholesterol, pap testing and white blood cell count) and anatomic pathology tests. Anatomic pathology tests attempt to identify abnormalities in body organs that signal the advent of disease as opposed to the more routine procedures that test blood and other bodily fluids. However, recently there has been a dramatic increase in gene-based testing and molecular testing, which measure our susceptibilities to inherited diseases, and esoteric testing. Esoteric testing is a catchall term for more complex clinical tests.

In the vanguard of the forces advancing women’s health through these technologies marches Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (OTCQB: AVDX). Employing technology it has exclusively licensed from Wayne State University, the company has developed a microarray-based diagnostic test called OvaDx. OvaDx is the first large panel biomarker monitoring test for ovarian cancer. It measures the activation of the immune system in blood samples in response to early stage ovarian tumor cell development. A biomarker is simply an objective measure of the body’s functioning.

Microarrays have been described as the tracks of the global life sciences freight train. A microarray is a collection of DNA on a surface. They are sometimes referred to as biochips or DNA chips. In the forefront of microarray technology is the Arrayit Corporation (OTC: ARYC), and back in 2009, Avant entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) with Arrayit. The TTA gave Avant exclusive license rights to all of Arrayit’s trade secrets and protocols required for the sale and use of the OvaDx ovarian cancer test. Arrayit Corporation is a leader in the microarray industry. It develops, manufactures and markets life science tools and integrated laboratory platforms for the analysis of genetic variation, biological function, and diagnostics. Arrayit also provides specialized equipment, tools, and microarray manufacturing services to more than 10,000 research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, clinical research organizations, government agencies and biotechnology companies around the globe.

Microarrays have indeed proved to be a track to success, and at least three companies, Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: A) and Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) have taken that track. Myriad deserves special mention. The company’s valuation rose spectacularly after it was revealed that Angelina Jolie had used Myriad’s diagnostic test, BRACAnalysis. BRACAnalysis determined that Jolie had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and 50 percent chance of ovarian cancer because of an inherent genetic mutation. Miss Jolie has a defect in her BRACI genes. Those with a similar defect have, on average, a 65% chance of developing breast cancer. Myriad got its microarray technology from Arrayit, the same company that has given Avant access to its methodologies.

Avant is in the right place at the right time. The molecular diagnostics segment of the laboratory testing market is expected to reach $8 billion by the end of 2017. OvaDx will soon undergo 510(K) trials. A 510(K) is a pre-market submission made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is at least as safe and effective as a legally marketed device. Avant believes the OvaDx test has an advantage over Roche’s CA-125 test and Vermillion’s Ova 1 test. With its gene-based microarray OvaDX test, Avant is not only guarding our womenfolk, it’s poised to enjoy great financial success. It’s a classic case of having your cake and eating it, too.

“Adapt, improvise, and overcome” was the line Clint Eastwood used in the classic ‘Heartbreak Ridge’ movie in which he starred as a hard-nosed, hard-living Marine gunnery sergeant trying to whip a bunch of lackluster Marines into shape. Although Mr. Eastwood was referring to what Marines should do when presented with a seemingly insurmountable task, this concept is exactly what comes to mind when you look at Dominovas Energy Corp.’s (OTCQB: DNRG) business model. No matter what hydrocarbon fuel the location presents, Dominovas Energy has a technology that will reform it into a suitable composition that is optimal for electricity generation.

Given the fact that there are 50 countries in the world classified as ‘Least Developed’, according to the United Nations, deployment opportunities for the Dominovas Energy power plants are prodigious to say the least. Using the company’s proprietary RUBICON™ fuel cell system, an undeveloped country can catapult into the 21st century and begin reaping the benefits of global connectivity, international trade, online education, and development of a competitive monetary system, just to name a few… all the while doing this with a clean energy source and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide.

The RUBICON™ fuel cell is an energy technology that can significantly mitigate both air pollution and foreign oil import dependency at current levels. It is quiet, compact, flexible, highly efficient, and exceptionally clean, and it curbs emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. The RUBICON™ is much more efficient than conventional energy processes, because it converts the chemical energy of the fuel directly into electricity without going through an intermediate combustion step. The RUBICON™ is cleaner than any carbon fueled combustion process, even when using carbon fuel as its hydrogen source. Additionally, the heat and water produced in the conversion process can be used for space and water heating.

Dominovas Energy is a cutting-edge company with a bright, green future – in both the environmentally friendly and monetary sense – and should be added to your watch list for consideration. Getting in on the ground floor of a game-changing company like this could be the difference between you having a house in the suburbs or a mansion in the high rent district.

Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AGHI) is a multi-dimensional company operating through key business segments to deliver innovative and high quality business solution products and video content worldwide. Through wholly-owned subsidiary Geegle Media and its affiliates, Agora is a leading diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise with five unique business segments – including media networks, TV, studio entertainment, consumer products and interactive media. By seamlessly combining the best of media and technology, the company is driving innovation in the entertainment industry and developing some of the world’s best entertainment and online experiences.

In recent months, Agora has turned its attention toward the development of a collection of online media platforms tailored to meet the demands of expansive global audiences. The company’s portfolio of in-development web platforms includes GeegleTV, Frame, 1000Salads, Realty TV and LobbyTV. Through the GeegleTV platform, Agora plans to co-produce high-quality original content and distribute it to millions of users worldwide. The company’s other platforms are intended for more specific applications. RealtyTV, for example, will be developed for use by real estate brokerages, while LobbyTV will be designed to suit the specific needs of business offices.

As more consumers turn away from traditional television providers in favor of on-demand solutions, Agora could be in a favorable position to claim a stake in a rapidly expanding market. According to a report by TechCrunch, as many as 8.2 percent of former pay TV subscribers ditched their cable or satellite service in 2014, while more than 45 percent of individuals reduced their cable or satellite TV service during the same time frame.

The result has been a period of rapid growth for leading video on demand providers such as Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Hulu. According to data from Statista, the number of individuals subscribed to Netflix’s streaming services increased by more than 200 percent from 2011 to 2015, with the streaming giant reporting just over 69 million global subscribers in the third quarter of last year. Research firm MarketsandMarkets reaffirmed this market potential in a recent report, which indicated that the worldwide video on demand market is on pace to climb from $25.3 billion in 2014 to roughly $61.4 billion in 2019, achieving a compound annual growth rate in excess of 19 percent.

As Agora continues toward the release of its suite of online media platforms, this market performance will play a key role in the company’s efforts to promote rapid and sustainable financial growth. Look for the company to continue relying on the experience of its management team as it prepares to target an expansive global audience by airing sharable, original content on GeegleTV and related platforms in the months to come.

Ecommerce is on the rise. In the U.S., according to Statista, the online statistics portal, retail ecommerce sales climbed over 30% in the last two years, from about $261 billion in 2013 to an estimated $341 billion in 2015. That figure is expected to grow by another 13% in 2016, to $385 billion. It seems as if online commerce will soon strip the malls and marketplaces of shoppers, but maybe not just yet. In 2014, retail ecommerce still represented just a small proportion of retail purchases, according to James Mengdong Tan, CEO of Shenzhen-based Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC). In a recent interview with the Business Times of Singapore, he enthused, “…for all the success ecommerce has had, it represents merely 10 per cent of all retail purchases in China and the U.S. in 2014… that leaves a whopping US$7.3 trillion still being conducted in physical stores in the U.S. and China.” Ecommerce may be big, but, so far, it’s still a David compared to the brick-and-mortar commerce Goliath.

How far can ecommerce grow? Most economies, and China and the U.S. are no exceptions, comprise large service segments. In the U.S., according to the Department of Commerce, that figure is over 80%. In China, the service sector is about 48% of GDP, according to an International Business Times report. Many services can only be delivered and used on a personal basis. The list is endless and heading it are the services provided by the vast food and beverage industry. How many wives and girlfriends want to shop for groceries at home? Then again, who in America doesn’t like to dine out? It’s the same in China. If you think America has a lot of Chinese restaurants, you should pay a visit to China. And there are many more service businesses that must continue to deal face to face, such as beauty salons, barbers, gymnasiums, cinemas and theatres, and the live concert industry. Then there are all the professional services for which digital interaction can form only a small part of the relationship. Doctors and lawyers in private practice need to find a clientele just as any merchant does. Even for those things that can be purchased online, we may still want to enjoy a good old-fashioned day out shopping.

This is where Moxian, with its innovative social media and marketing platform, comes in. The Moxian+ online platform is designed especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provide personal services or tangible products that a shopper wants to touch and see before she buys. And the Moxian+ platform does much more than that. Merchant clients can access powerful data analytics on the demographics of customers and their buying behaviour. This is the burgeoning online-to-offline (O2O) landscape, and Moxian is blazing a trail into it.

The Moxian+ platform is available through two apps, both of which can be accessed by mobile devices. Making its platform accessible by mobile devices is an important part of Moxian’s relentless strategy, since smartphones and mobile devices have very high penetration rates in China. Moxian’s initial marketing forays are in the mainland Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Beijing. In a 2014 story, ZDNet reported that China has over 618 million internet users and that 80% of these accessed the Web through a mobile device.

There’s still a lot of low hanging fruit in the fast developing O2O market. Moxian has been one of the first to recognize that. Back in 2013, its management acquired the software that would later become the backbone of the Moxian+ platform. Since then they have spent over $10 million getting it up to speed to take on the huge opportunities they perceive. Mr. Tan is not daunted by the possibilities. He said in that Business Times interview, “We could be the next Alibaba in the making” Seems he’s not the only one to think that. Moxian already has a market value of over 1 billion dollars.
