My Comments about Melonie Montgomery

and the Bioanalyzer Technology

I am writing this letter as an inventor and formulator of natural products and technologies who has been looking for a clinical study source for my primary product, which is a bottled functional water additive meant to increase cellular hydration. First of all, my approach to cellular hydration is somewhat radical, which means that I need to find a clinical study resource that is not totally biased to start out with. Believe it or not, some of the most biased people in healthcare are involved in alternative approaches.

I am a Chiropractic Physician with offices in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It was a Chiropractor friend of mine in California who referred me to Melonie Montgomery and the Bioanalyzer Technology she has invented.

It has been a major challenge in every regard to find a company that has enough subjects, can test for many different parameters, that also has an effective way to test hydration and in the final analysis is affordable. The reality is that I could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars on very simple studies. No clinical study format is going to be cheap by anyone’s standards, but at least in the alternative healthcare field we need clinical studies that are feasible based on cost.

After my initial conversation with Melonie Montgomery on the telephone I could sense that she is totally capable of stepping back from her own concepts about the types of products that she believes may or may not work. The bottom line is that I could see that she could apply an objective testing process to see if any given product taken orally will indeed promote greater body balance in terms of wellness or not. She warned me on the phone that she is interested in total honesty and will only report truthful results, but at the same time regards all test results as confidential and only shared publicly at the discretion of the company that contracts with her for clinical studies. I told Melonie that I wanted to know the truth about my products and I was ready for anything that came out of her studies.

When people have quizzed me, and often aggressively to say the least, about how I can justify M-Water having any health benefits for people I have stated very directly that if proof is forthcoming that M-Water does not provide substantial health benefits I will stop making and providing it to professionals and the general public. In addition, if anyone comes forward with a better functional water product in terms of promoting hydration I would stop what I was doing with M-Water and switch my commitment to this new product. But I felt after a number of years with so many doctors and other people reporting dramatic benefits from drinking M-Water every day that the dropping of M-Water by me was highly unlikely.

However, if I had not found Melonie Montgomery and the Bioanalyzer Technology she has invented I may have been stuck in between knowing and proving the benefits from drinking M-Water. Even Melonie expressed some level of skepticism concerning M-Water as a product to increase hydration, which is because two years prior to testing M-Water she had not found a single water product in her broad quest to do so. Again, I told Melonie that I wanted to simply know the truth, which resonated with her greatly. We both agreed that much more self criticism and honesty is necessary in alternative healthcare if we truly want to be of greatest service to the health needs of the general public.

It is my opinion that the perfect combination exists with the inventor and the technology. I have never seen a comprable technology before until coming across the Bioanalyzer as a way to objectively understand where a person is at in terms of wellness. This is simply an issue of measuring known biochemical activity quickly and efficiently in order to find out how far a person is from truly being healthy. This is not a subjective issue, but totally an issue of numbers forthcoming from objective testing that translates into how far away or how close a person is to being well.

For anyone who is looking for the best kind of clinical testing available anywhere in the world when it comes to natural and alternative products there is only one person and one technology that I can recommend.  That is Melonie Montgomery and the Bioanalyzer Technology she has invented.

I have completed one clinical study of M-Water, which finally after eight years of this product being available can claim that it will dramatically increase cellular hydration. Following the initial 30 day clinical study with Melonie Montgomery I have contracted with her for an additional thirty day study as well as a six month study to understand the effects of optimum hydration over time.  In these times of critical overview from not only the government when it comes to claims, it is also becoming clear that the real edge with doctors and the public rests with scientific proof. The bottom line for scientific proof with people taking a health product every day is in the final analysis all based on clinical studies. Anecdotal evidence or even some kind of objective analysis of a product will never be reliable, which is true even if this information is honestly presented. It is simply not enough! It is absolutely essential to implement a totally objective approach to understanding whether there is any real benefit or not when it comes to any health product.

Melonie’s invention is not just for clinical studies. In fact, the Bioanalyzer has more relevance when it comes to clinical practice. This is because there are thousands upon thousands of practitioners who could be using the Bioanalyzer Technology to better understand how to treat their patients and clients. The newest technology Melonie has invented requires saliva and urine only in most testing scenarios. If a healthcare practitioner of any kind truly wants to understand if they are making a real difference in terms of improving their patient’s health the Bioanalyzer is unparalleled in terms of giving a complete understanding of a person’s biological wellness with a vast array of parameters. From knowing the outcomes of these parameters a healthcare practitioner can then design and evaluate an ongoing health restoration program with each patient and change it as need to insure better and better changes.

The commercial potential available from having a foundation of clinical studies for a health product is very important. I found this out in a dramatic way right after the first 30 day hydration study was completed at the end of 2004. Within two weeks of the completion date of this study on hydration by Melonie Montgomery with the Bioanalyzer Technology I had call from a major retailer looking for a water product that hydrates effectively but with real scientific proof in that regard. This company called me to look into my product M-Water because of the Bioanalyzer clinical research available online at my website. I was in NY City a few days later making a presentation to a review board of vice presidents and managers at this company. In addition, about the same time that I was contacted by this major retailer an investment firm called me from NY City wanting to review my technology to see if I was interested in a partnership with them to look for broader applications of my technology. I did meet with this investment firm while in NY City in January of 2005 to make a presentation to the major retailer. If that wasn’t enough, I also was able to make a presentation to a sports club corporation with tens of thousands of members and it was the clinical research that was the most impressive to them. I am still working on these business opportunities and I am sure others will be forthcoming. It is my conclusion that having clinical research proof behind any healthcare product is essential to make breakthroughs commercially. A small company like mine has a much greater opportunity to take the quantum leap into success if there is clinical research proving efficacy. But it doesn’t matter if a natural product comes from a small or large company the times are changing whereby the cutting edge is and will even be more so to have clinical research as the foundation for claiming benefits. I have not come across any other person and technology other than Melonie Montgomery and the Bioanalyzer Technology that has met my needs to complete a clinical study and highly recommend this approach to not only understanding products better but to insure a much greater level of commercial success.
