Wow, what a lot of controversy this has generated!

I have first hand knowledge of the BioPhotonic Scanner and have used one over the last 6 months in New Zealand scanning dozens and dozens of people.

A few basics ...

The scanner was developed over a 6-8 year period by the Huntsman Cancer Institute of the Utah University

It uses Rahman Spectroscopy (Sir C. Rahman was awarded a Nobel Prize for the discovery) to detect the level of carotinoid antioxidants in the cells. Carotinoids are the most powerful antioxidants and are a good indicator of what else is in your system. Not in the blood or urine, which are only transport mechanisms of nutrients to your cells - telling what you ate in the last 12 hours, not what has actually arrived in your cells, the "site of action" - where it all happens. This measurement is far more relevant than any blood test.

It was offered to Pharmanex, a nutritional company, who initially rejected it as "too good to be true", but after a lot of research discovered it was genuine and finally paid $60M for the patent rights (to 2020) to measure anti-oxidants with light. Then another $60M to develop it to what it is now.

If it was a scam it wouldn't have won a Stevie Award (similar to an Oscar) last year as the most innovative product introduced into the US market. This was competing in the league of Oracle, FedEx and Microsoft.

It has been proven more consistent and accurate than the "Gold Standard" test for anti-oxidants – taking 4 square inches of skin and doing standard tests..

It is also becoming a "lie detector" for the supplement industry. In over 2,000,000 scans done and more than 1500 supplements tested, only 5 show any results. The supplement industry is a veritable scam party, because until now there has been no way to prove if they do anything. So all sales are made on hype and hope. Clinical trials and proof is as scarce as “hens teeth” in the supplement industry.

Pharmanex is a very serious nutrition company with currently 129 PHD scientists on staff. No other supplement company in the world has even 30. It has also been the only supplement supplier to the US Olympic Team for the last 8 years. It was the first company to have a Guaranteed Banned Substance Free certificate for all it’s products..

That’s probably enough to stir the pot …. any questions?
