Dr. Fab Mancini: Hi. This is Dr. Fab Mancini, and super excited to be here with Rick Anson. I call him the greatest innovator in the world of nutrition. Rick is so good to see you. Man Hi. Dr, faub, so great to be here with you. Well, you know, one of the things that I wanted to ask you about, and you know, I'm a big fan because of your innovation. And we're living right now at a time that people are really struggling with chronic disease. I know right now, if you're watching us, you probably know somebody that is struggling with a chronic disease like heart disease, cancer, arthritis, obesity, chronic pain, inflammation and so many others. And one of the things that I realized is that the mission of Maha make America healthy again, is all about addressing the 90% of the cost of health care, which is chronic disease. So I wanted to see when it comes to pain and inflammation, we know that pain is the alarm system of the body. Now think of it as you have a smoke alarm in your house? And when the alarm sounds, it's going to tell you that there's smoke because there may be a fire. Well, that's the same with pain and inflammation. You're going to have a warning because there may be a disease process right behind that inflammation. The problem is, most of the time we ignore it, or we take it out of the wall and we take the battery out, or we put tape on the speaker so we don't even hear it. So when it comes to you, we know that over 50 million Americans are living with pain right now. Tell me what was your thought process in creating and putting together the right formulations of ingredients that are science based. And then I want to ask you about, what is it about those ingredients that truly spoke to you in over 20 years that you've been doing this? Yes?
Rick Anson:Well, thank you, Fab. Yeah, my background, right? I've worked with big, billion dollar pharmaceutical companies, nutraceutical companies, bioscience companies, and it's, it's always been astounding to me, when I went to work with one of these companies, that their focus has been on an immediate solution that was temporary, right? So let's just block the pain for three or four hours. We could do it longer. We could actually go to the root cause. But they don't do so so they can sell more of those products. And so when I set out to create a product for pain and inflammation, because they're completely different. They're completely different pain inflammation, I wanted to have the best delivery system in this case, which is a topical roll on. And I wanted something more than just an active ingredient like menthol, which 99% of these companies use to block the pain signal temporarily. So it took us over two years to create these topical pain relief roll on and inflammation relief, soothing cream, so that we had a pair, we had pain and inflammation that were synergistically together so people can help at their root cause. Dr fab, and we created, for example, the pain relief roll on has 10 active ingredients, menthol being one of them, we have Eucalyptus. We have neem oil. Neem oil is amazing because it's used by the military for wounds, we took spearmint and peppermint oil and we combined them all together. There's no roll on that has an FDA claim for pain relief that has 10 active ingredients. So you're not just you're not just temporarily stopping the pain. You're actually getting to the root cause of the pain, and you're helping stop that pain, not just temporarily, but, you know, permanently. And the active ingredient, which I love the most, which most people don't understand, is the hemp CBD. We have powerful 2400 milligrams of hemp CBD as our core active ingredient, because it nourishes the endocannabinoid system. Every human being and every animal has an endocannabinoid system, and that system is responsible for regulating our pain and our inflammation. Now that's staggering. Dr faub, when you realize pharmaceutical companies know this. Bioscience companies know this, but we're the first company to take these active ingredients with this powerful plant based active ingredient, I mean, CBD is a plant vitamin, and put into one product that works within 30 to 60 seconds and gives you that temporary and long term benefit.
Rick Anson:Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, you know what I love about it is the fact that being a doctor of chiropractic, of course, I've attracted a lot of people in my life that come to me because they're in pain, could be their back pain, their neck pain, and one of the things that we find is that the chiropractic adjustment is extremely power. Fall in helping that individual, you know, reset their function, maybe their structure, too. But at the same time, patients would tell me, I said, fab, but do you have anything that I can take home with me? Is there anything I can do right now because the process of alleviating a patient? Sometimes it would take a day, sometimes it would take a week by the time somebody really feels much better. But one of the things that we found is that topicals are wonderful opportunity. But what I love about your innovation in this product, in this product, is the fact that not only did you put the hem CBD, which is very popular right now, as you know, and I went through that wave when CBD started becoming really, really popular in this country, and everybody was wanting to do that, but at the same time, many of those products don't have the 10 other ingredients that have already been shown to work extremely well in other products that are in the market. And what is it that you feel that people need to understand when they put this roll on or they put this cream. What is it that you want them to understand that their body is doing as they are putting it on them? I mean, you mentioned that within 60 seconds, most people have told us that their pain will cease. But what else do you feel they need to appreciate in the thought process that went in putting this product together. Yeah,
Rick Anson:I mean, I'm most proud about the fact that we stopped looking at going vertical and making revenue. We focused on this whole my whole 20 years have been focused on making the best product possible for the general consumer, and that takes years, and it's research, and we've, we've pulled these active ingredients from multiple industries, from big pharma, you know, big pharma, one of the things that I love to take out of Big Pharma, right, is the research that They do, and then the clinical studies on an active ingredient, we're really literally reaching into those pharmaceutical companies who've done these clinical trials and years of research, millions of dollars, and taking them out and putting them into a topical role, on for the general consumer to use topical is the best because it how we formulated this with all the active ingredients. It goes through the five layers of the skin. It permeates within 30 to 60 seconds. People feel that onset rate how quickly it works. Because the goal has been to make products that the consumer can feel almost immediately, that relieves their pain. Because if you can relieve someone's pain, you are changing their life. I'm most proud about the 1000s of people, 10s of 1000s of people have been using this pain relief roll on from truck drivers to massage therapists. These massage therapists don't even use the product on those patients. They use it for themselves, for working all day in their hands, and they feel the instant relief to professional practitioners across the board. People come to me every single day, Dr faub, and thank me for helping relieve their pain. Their doctors are putting them on many of these doctors are putting them on opioids and just temporary drug fixes, we've really set out to create the topical roll on for pain relief with these active ingredients that can go to the root cause and systemically help stop that pain. And again, when we talk about hemp, CBD, most companies out there, just launch CBD. You could the CBD that we use is pharmaceutical grade. We use the technology called micellization, which we actually pre digest the cannabinoids before they go into your body. So you not only get the quick onset rate of 3030 to 60 seconds, but you also get all of the nurturing benefits of that plant vitamin, which is a cannabinoid in your body, working in your endocannabinoid system, going to your cells and opening up those cells and nourishing them and telling them to help stop the pain. That's the difference with our technology and our CBD versus a CBD and the product you can go buy who Dr Fauci people go to the gas station, they fill up their tank, they buy a pack of gum, and they and they buy their health and wellness CBD at the gas station. We are completely, you know, against that, and we are pharmaceutical grade. And I love this pain relief roll on for all the all those benefits, and the way we formulated it, and how quickly it helps people of all ages relieve and slowly decline their pain.
Rick Anson:Dr. Fab Mancini: So Rick a lot of times, people talk about inflammation. We know that 90% according to the experts, 90% of the root cause of chronic. Disease is inflammation, and we have this cream that actually has been created for that. What is in this cream that helps somebody reduce their inflammation so the body has a better ability to heal itself,
Rick Anson:Yeah, and that's part of the the innovation promise we have in this company, in each of our products, is to the promises, the best innovation, the best ingredients, so that you feel the benefits the quickest, and you get, you know, the purity of those benefits. So there's a big distinction between pain and inflammation. Pain is generally found in your joints, in your muscles, and then it sends a signal to your brain that there's pain, and people, companies have used menthol to block that pain signal. When we created a product for inflammation, soothing relief that's formulated similar and similar ingredients to our pain relief. Roll on, but we change the some of the products, some of the ingredients in the product, and we change the formulation, we change the the texture of the cream, so they would it would absorb differently. And because inflammation is generally found in your tissues, not in your joints. And as you mentioned, 90% of diseases start with inflammation. So if you can stop that inflammation, you then stop arthritis, then you stop rheumatoid arthritis. It's so important to quickly stop that inflammation. So this cream has been formulated differently than the pain to go into your tissues and stop that inflammation at the root source. It permeates the five layers of your skin within 30 to 60 seconds, so you get all the sweat soothing relief from the inflammation. You should use that with the pain relief, roll on, and then you're stopping both systemic pain and acute pain, and systemic and acute inflammation together. It's a wonderful combination for people to topically put on anywhere, anytime of the day, but that's why we created these two amazing pain inflammation product lines that work within 30 to 60 seconds for people. So they have a turnkey healthcare solution for pain inflammation that's natural, that's plant based, with 10 of the most amazing active ingredients that are out there in any industry, altogether, for this product line.
Rick Anson:Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, you know, for me personally, I can tell you that I'm on a mission to eradicate opioid consumption. We know it's the number one prescription that is abused by almost every provider. We know that opioids unfortunately lead to addictions that lead to sometimes suicide and many other challenges. So if you're right now experiencing some pain, or you know somebody, a loved one or a co worker that is experiencing some pain, all I'm asking you to do is try it. When I tried this roll on and this cream, it was amazing, because I felt the impact immediately. Now I've been in this space for almost 38 years, and I can tell you, this is very exciting for me, because we need to bring hope to people that don't think there's an answer out there. And I believe that making America healthy again movement is really all about trying to help individuals recognize that the hope really begins with you making a better choice, understanding that, yeah, maybe you're stuck in this roller coaster of medications and pharmaceuticals that you feel like you're the only answer that you have, but maybe you hear something like this and you say, You know what? I'm going to try that. So I encourage you to act, make a better choice, see the difference for yourself, and then make sure that you share it with as many people as you can, because this is a movement. If we're going to make America healthy again, it begins with us, but then it begins with everybody that we come in contact with, and that's what this is all about. So I hope that you learn some great information, that you learn what actually ingredients are in this process, and also the rigorous process that it takes to put a product like this in the market where actually works. So Thanks, Rick. It's great to see you again. Thank you. Dr faub.
