Freehold, NJ, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- MEDIFIRST SOLUTIONS, INC. (OTC: MFST) (the “Company” or “Medifirst”), a provider of innovative laser technology with its FDA 510(k) cleared Infrared Time Machine TTML-8102000 Laser Thermal Therapeutic Device and Specialty Pharmacy Drug Consulting Services is pleased to announce a company update.
Medifirst is pleased to announce that it is launching a division for CBD sales and products. There is already an explosive demand for CBD products, including healthcare and medical products, beverages and edibles, and pet products. CBD usage is surging in the United States as awareness and access to CBD products rapidly expands. CBD oil is gaining momentum with studies confirming that it may help treat a variety of ailments and conditions, such as pain, anxiety, stress, depression, cancer related symptoms, and weight loss.
The Brightfield Group recently announced projections for the hemp CBD industry to become a $5.7 billion market by next year, with a projection of nearly 400% growth to $22 billion by 2022. Hemp is variety of the cannabis plants. It does not contain any legally significant quantities of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chemical that produces a high in marijuana. It does contain the active ingredient cannabidiol (CBD), which has been widely reported and shown to have great medicinal value - reports that now have been substantiated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There has been a strong movement to make CBD products legal in all 50 states.
Today, Medifirst President Bruce J. Schoengood, stated that “CDB products are a great complement to our FDA cleared Time Machine Therapeutic Laser for all-natural pain relief, and there is a tremendous demand for CBD products. Through our existing healthcare relationships, we have strong interest from oversea markets for China, Japan, and the Asia-Pacific region as well as in the U. S. market. Medifirst is working on completing related contracts and agreements and anticipates a formal announcement in the upcoming days or weeks.”
Medifirst recently announced it was presenting the Time Machine Laser to the Antah HealthCare Group, one of the largest medical device distributors in Malaysia. Medifirst President, Bruce J. Schoengood, stated that, “We are very pleased to report that initial testing results are positive and Medifirst representatives are meeting with Antah representatives in Hong Kong to discuss possible distribution structures and various possible business models with regards to working with Antah Healthcare. While we can make no assurances of a final agreement, we are optimistic since they are satisfied with the results. We anticipate further updates in the upcoming days and weeks.”
