MOMENTUM CONTINUES

As the first half of 2007 comes to a close, we are pleased with all that has beenaccomplished thus far this year, and we see a very busy “second half ” coming.

The momentum generated by our first convention continues, as distributors make gooduse of all the new business enhancements we introduced there. The size of the StemGemTeam has greatly expanded, and we have welcomed our very first President's Club Member!

The success of the pet products and trial size sample paks has been quite impressive. Thenew Senior Manager and Director Paks are also big hits. The conversion to our new,upgraded software system was about as smooth as we could hope for and the new Back Officeis receiving universal accolades.

Our "global team" has been very busy preparing new countries for our internationalexpansion. Mexico has already opened and is breaking all kinds of records. Planned for thesecond half of 2007 are new offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa andSingapore.

We have many more distributors on the verge on receiving brand-new BMWs throughour Car Bonus Program, and theWealthBuilder's web site has proven to be another great toolin your recruiting arsenal.

And of course, don't forget the Director Leadership Conference coming up this fall insunny Southern California. It's a weekend guaranteed to propel your business from the highgrowth season right through the year-end holidays.

Hope to see you soon at one or more of our exciting upcoming events around the globe!

Ray C. Carter, Jr.President & CEO

ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE

Since Canada has been part of our STEMTech family from the beginning, we have beenan international company already. Still, the recent opening of Mexico marks our first steptoward global expansion. And what a success it was! At the STEMTech pre-Launch in theUnited States in November of 2005, we had 650 people and that was a great success. InMexico, we reached more than 1,200 people during our pre-Launch regional tour!Congratulations to Oscar Rosas, our VP of Latin American Markets and his team, and allthe distributors who played a crucial role in the success of the opening of the Mexicanmarket.

As those who were present will tell you, the opening of Mexico was an undeniablesuccess. But what impressed me the most were the people and the quality of the networkingtaking place in Mexico. People of Mexico are familiar with the concept of stem cells, wellversed in the use of plant-based products, eager to develop ways to increase their quality oflife, and they show a unique sense of teamwork. Our vision of expansion is tied to theconcept of one world, one people, as hearts have no borders. So think about who you mightknow inMexico, reach out and be part of this expansion. It is bound to be a great adventure.

Blessings,

I an Davies was one of STEMTech'soriginal Triple Diamonds back in theold, pre-Launch days when only

seven others shared Triple Diamondstatus with him. Now, with the TripleDiamonds swelling to 20, Ian is blazingthe way into the next echelon as our firstPresident's Club Business Builder. Howhas he done it?

“I put people first,” Ian explains simply.“People don't care how much you knowuntil they know how much you care.” Hepoints out that one of the greatest humanneeds is to feel “connected” because it'swhat makes life joyful. Ian and MelonyDavies have dedicated their lives to addingjoy to the lives of people the world overthrough sharing StemEnhance and theSTEMTech opportunity and throughcharitable works. “As STEMTechembraces world charities with corporatesupport, we embrace them personally,” Ianadds.

“Since January, we have been feeding100 kids in Africa every month with partof our income from STEMTech,” Ianexplains. “Through the Feed the Childrenorganization, it takes only $8 a month tofeed one child,” adding that he checked the

charity carefully before lending hissupport. “I learned that 95 percent of theircontributions go directly to the kids, soMelony and I agreed to feed 100 a monththis year, and we would like to feed 1,000a month in 2008. The more we have, themore we can give,” he says. “We look toour STEMTech business to make thispossible for us.”

Ian and Melony also have their eye ona new house that will provide more roomfor their family. “Home prices here inHawaii are through the roof, but weexpect that our growing STEMTechbusiness will make a new home possiblefor us in the near future,” he adds. Incomefrom their STEMTech business hasalready made it possible for the family totravel widely, including trips to Sri Lankato visit Melony's relatives. “Keepingcontact with family is precious to all ofus,” Ian says.

“Our intention is to do great good inthe world,” Ian points out, adding that“Our ability to help people has a residualimpact on our lives every day. STEMTechis the most incredible vehicle to buildabundant health and wealth all over theworld. It is simply astounding!”

Susan & David DarbroBetter Health, LLCIndiana

When aphysician/

friend introducedStemEnhance tothe Darbros lastfall, Susan says,“We felt it was aproduct whosetime had come. Itwas the mostbeautiful way to

implement stem cell physiology withoutcontroversy.” Working alongside herhusband David, a retired wellnessphysician, Susan tries to encourage peopleto change their thinking about health. “Welook for what's there that should not be orwhat is missing. Then we ask, 'How canthis person achieve optimal health?' Oftenthe answer is StemEnhance.”

Susan and David say that for yearspeople in the United States haveconcentrated more on fixing illnesses ratherthan preventing them. As they build theirbusiness, they find more people are nowthinking outside the box about health.David explains, “I see people who havedecided once and for all to takeresponsibility for their own health. Whenthey listen to their bodies, they discover thatthe body is programmed to do the rightthing. All they have to do is support it inthis natural process with StemEnhance.”

It is a natural process to become asuccessful STEMTech distributor, too,Susan notes. “Anyone can succeed in thisbusiness as long as they are teachable,” shesays. The Darbros spend their days onconference calls, answering questions andhelping distributors to work the business.Susan explains that everyone can benefitfrom coaching. “A good coach enhancesdistributors' strengths and helps them toovercome their challenges. Then they canbuild a growing organization together fortheir mutual benefit and for the good of somany people.”

Anna GallmanCalifornia

When Anna helped STEMTech toopen Puerto Rico for StemEnhance,

she felt that the accompanying exhilarationwas the highlight of her life. Little did sheknow that she was soon to experience aneven bigger exhilaration – the opening ofMexico for STEMTech!

For weeks,Anna has beenworking nonstop,seven in themorning to threein the morningmost days torespond to theexcitement aboutStemEnhance inMexico. From the

metropolis of Guadalajara to the smalltown of Poza Rica, Veracruz, the story hasbeen the same. “People have beenswamping us everywhere we go,” Annarelates. She adds, “We have meeting aftermeeting after meeting, every bottle ofStemEnhance has gone out the door, andI have so many distributor applications toprocess!” Mexico is definitely anexhilarating experience for Anna and foreveryone involved in the hugely successfulpre-Launch in that country. She says, “Iwas so grateful to Ray and Christian, whodid their entire presentations in Spanish.People were so impressed!”

While Anna is enjoying her newTriple Diamond status, she reminds us, “Alot of effort and work went into this.” Shesays, “It's different here. People in theHispanic culture need to know that wecare about their health, that we havebrought them StemEnhance to improvetheir quality of life.” And she is seeing “themost remarkable, rapid improvements” inpeople's health across Mexico, thanks toStemEnhance. How does Anna feel thesedays? She smiles. “All the months of hardwork have been so worth it!”

Dewey Lyden

Hawaii

At83,Dewey Lyden can claim the honorof being STEMTech’s “oldest Triple

D i a m o n d . ”You would never know it, however.

Dewey exudes thejoy and energy ofyouth as he worksdaily to build hisb u s i n e s s .“I’m justhaving fun,”he says simply.He explains that themomentum thattook him to DoubleDiamond (last

HealthSpan) “rolled me right up to Triple.When you establishmomentum,”he says,“it’sa beautiful thing.”

He continues to share StemEnhancewith people every day. He is a walkingtestimony to the power of AFA andStemEnhance. “I’m ‘a little past middleage,’ I’m in good health and I have nolimitations on my quality of life.” Hereports that his wife Insoon continues todo well, too, after facing a very serioushealth challenge nearly five years ago. “Icredit AFA and StemEnhance for helpingher body to find its way to health again,”Dewey says.

As a resident of Honolulu, Dewey hasthe opportunity to meet many localresidents and travelers from Asiancountries. “I am excited that JonathanLim is working to open Asia forStemEnhance,” Dewey says, noting thatmany people now living in Honoluluemigrated from Asia and the SouthPacific islands. As he shares the benefitsof StemEnhance and STEMTech’s globalexpansion plans with these Asian-Americans, they are excited. Dewey says,“They are all set to take StemEnhance totheir family and friends in Asia just assoon as they can. And that will meanmomentum with a capital ‘M’!”

Leona and Jim MalmquistMBH Interior HealthWashington

Airidologist, nutritionist andherbalist, Leona Malmquist has

been working with seriously illpatients worldwide along with Ron

Logan of theWorld HealthO r g a n i z a t i o n .Their team hashad great successin “turningaround” manycases consideredhopeless. “Ron isjust brilliant,”Leona says. Itwas Ron who

called Leona about StemEnhance.“He said, 'Leona, you need to get ahold of this product for your clients. It'sthe greatest breakthrough I've everseen!”

When he explained that patients hadstarted “rebounding almostimmediately” with StemEnhance,Leona was intrigued and excited. Shesoon put all her own clients onStemEnhance, and watched withamazement as their health challengeswere replaced one by one with a qualityof life. “I bought an inventory ofStemEnhance just to help people getwell,” she says. “I didn't know you couldmake a business out of it.” Nevertheless,in only three months she went from newdistributor to Triple Diamond!

Leona came to the health care industrylate in life after a very successful career asan interior designer. She explains, “Once Imet Ron Logan and learned of hiswonderful work, I felt a calling to helppeople regain health.” She is currentlystudying to become a naturopathicphysician, even though “we are ofretirement age, so my husband and I arebeginning to think about not working somuch. The hours we work are ridiculous!”Leona says. “But there are so manypeople who need help that retirement may

be a way off for us.”Dr. Enrique MartinezDream Builders

Puerto Rico

Ever since Dr.Enrique Martinez

joined Anna Gallmanin a commitment tobring StemEnhance toPuerto Rico andMexico, he has beencontinually gratified bythe huge impact the

product has had on Hispanic health. A highlyrespected medical professional in his country,Enrique is on the radio three times a week,advising his countrymen on nutrition, exercise,hydration and all aspects of optimal health.“StemEnhance has an important place in everybroadcast,” he notes,“because it is the cornerstoneofahealthy lifestyle.”

Enrique says that people in theHispanic community are “very aware of thebenefits of nutritional supplementsregarding health.” He adds that mostHispanics are “open to alternativemedicine”and are less skeptical about something newthan are people in other cultures. “If theyhave trust in you, they expect good results.In Mexico, we have been seeing somewonderful results very quickly fromStemEnhance,” Enrique says. “This hasencouraged many people to sign on withSTEMTech. They have joined us for thehealth benefits.”

When he approaches medicalprofessionals, Dr. Enrique Martinezaddresses more of the science behindStemEnhance. He points out that“physicians need to understand that healthtrends change and evolve, and thatStemEnhance is a revolutionary productthat can help their patients.” Enrique hasfound wide acceptance for StemEnhance inthemedical community. Special meetings inMexico open to medical professionals onlywere big successes. “In Poza Rica 88physicians attended onemeeting, and nearlyall of them signed up. It was magnifico!”

Mark Parsekian

Five years ago, a knee injury curtailedMark’s plans to run in the famed

Boston Marathon. After years ofcompetitive racing and dedicatedtraining, it appeared that his running

days were over.E i g h t e e nmonths ago hebegan takingStemEnhance,and a hopelesssituation beganto change. Henoticed moremobility in hisknee, and the

discomfort faded away. "I couldn'tbelieve it," Mark says. Today he's back torunning from five to fifteen miles a day."I'm feeling almost 100% better now,even during my intense workouts," Markrelates. It's all thanks to StemEnhance!"

As a business broker and consultant,Mark analyzes many businessopportunities, finding some destined forsuccess and others plagued withproblems. He says, "With STEMTech,the model and opportunity have thebest of everything: We have theconstant 'buzz' about stem cells in themedia, and you can't pay for that kindof advertising! Couple that with lowstartup cost, minimal risk, aphenomenal and affordable productthat works and is desired by millions,and there you have it… the perfectbusiness opportunity!"

As his organization grows, Mark putshis energies into making a difference inpeople's lives. "As people age or havefinancial difficulty," he points out, "theybegin to lose hope for having a fulfillinglife. I want to inspire people to dreamand have hope in their hearts. WithSTEMTech, dreams do come true foranybody at any age. We just have todecide to take action!”

Everett PotterNorth Dakota

It would not be overstating to say thatStemEnhance has made a “changed man”

out of Everett Potter. Plagued with a largenumber of physical challenges since birth,Everett says his life before StemEnhance wasvery limited. “I worked, but it was difficult,” says Everett, whose careersincluded farming, aircraft mechanics and crop dusting.“Somany factors combined to worsenmy already precarious health,” hea d d s .Since his health challenges affected his ability to make a living, he wasbroke by the end of 2005.

Then he learned about StemEnhance and everything changed.“Within a few months, many of my longtime health challengeswere becoming things of the past, and my first check fromSTEMTech covered my mortgage for almost three months,”Everett says.With persistence and practice, he overcame his fear ofpublic speaking, and now delivers the STEMTech message togroups of up to 150. He is even including a few jokes with hispresentations nowadays. “Since StemEnhance, I can actuallyremember jokes for the first time ever,” he explains, pointing outthat his memory these days is “phenomenal.”

Everett works the business 40 to 60 hours a week. These dayshe is scheduling regular times for conference calls and conductinglargemonthlymeetings. His reason? “I wantmy downline to enjoythe same quality of health and financial rewards that I do.” Hisgoal is to achieve financial freedom before the end of this year. Andthat’s not all, he says. “I expect to be driving a STEMTech BMW

really soon!”Peggy ZumbaumTexas

At 73, Peggy Zumbaum thought she was“probably the oldest Triple Diamond.” (This

was before 83-year-old Dewey Lyden stole the“oldest Triple” honors.)With the energy of a person half her age, Peggy created theWeCareGroup,providingninecoaches,awebsite,brochuresandnewsletters,scheduledconferencecalls and meetings to nurture and support distributors. Peggy spends each day“sharingtheSTEMTechopportunityandourcompletelyamazingproduct.”

Peggy believes that StemEnhance came into her life at “just theright moment.” Her son, a contractor, suffered many fractures andmassive internal injuries in a terrible fall. He was not expected to live,let alone walk again.With nothing to lose, Peggy started her son onStemEnhance, six a day. As he recovered, she busied herself buildingher business and sharing the StemEnhance story with everyone shemet.Threemonths after the accident, her son's improvement amazedhis doctors.A year later, he is walking and has little discomfort. Peggythanks StemEnhance: “The support for the body's natural repairsystem is just incredible with StemEnhance. Being able to share thisamazing product with others is the highlight of my life!”

What she says is even more impressive when you know thatPeggy was elected U.S. Woman of the Year in the 1970s, and hasowned companies including an FAA-approved aviation business andflight school, restaurant, nursing homes and childcare centers. She isalso a registered nurse and licensed pilot. She says, “STEMTech andStemEnhance have brought me more benefits than I could ever haveexpected, health-wise and financially.”

A LOOK ATSTEMTECH'S FIRST CONVENTION

The StemGems spread the word Friday night:We’re going Global!

PeoplecouldhardlywaitforSaturday’sfirstGeneralSessiontogetthedetails.

The enthusiasm of the large, flag-wavingdelegation fromPuertoRicowas echoed throughoutthe large assembly hall, as old friends gathered andnew friends got acquainted. The air was electric!

Soon the Global Team was introduced: GeorgeAntarr, Oscar Rosas, Andy Goodwin, JonathanLim, and Errol Lester. We also welcomed DonnaAntarr M.D., who will work closely with ChristianDrapeau.

The applause for the Global Team had hardlydied down when Christian brought the audience toits feet by introducing TWO new products,StemPetsTM and StemEquineTM. And when Rayintroduced the new marketing tools… well,everyone was super-charged!

The weekend’s training was positively top-notch.General Session presentations and a completeschedule of workshops were highlights for many, aswere the tours of STEMTech headquarters andVitaTech International.

But Saturday evening takes the prize for themostexciting highlights. The fabulousAwardsCeremonyled into the big surprise: The mist and curtainsparted to reveal a gleaming BMW, as Rayintroduced the 2007 Car Bonus Program. Andthree distributors had already earnedFREEBMWs!Izzy Matos, Bruce Higgins and Bill and CarolineLohmeyer were congratulated by old and newfriends, each one vowing, “The next BMWismine!”

Inspirational closing talks by John,Christian andRay left evreyone motivated and proud to be part ofthe STEMTech family.


SCIENCE UPDATE BY CHRISTIAN DRAPEAU

BEHINDSCIENCE

THE


The first discovery was the effect of largequantities of whole Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) on the number of circulating

stem cells. Essentially, we discovered that theconsumption of five grams and more of AFAtriggered an increase of approximately 25%-30% inthe number of circulating stem cells. This was a realbreakthrough; however, the consumption of such alarge amount of AFA (10-20 capsules a few times aday) was impractical and too expensive forconsumers. So the next step was to design a way toconcentrate the molecule responsible for the effect,but first, we had to identify it. What could be presentin a natural product that could support stem cellrelease?In 2000, Dr. Paul Frenette's group at the Mount

Sinai School of Medicine had described a class ofnatural compounds able to stimulate stem cell releaseby binding to a molecule called L-selectin. Theproblem was that these compounds were noteffective when taken orally, only when injected.Could AFA contain an L-selectin ligand (bindingmolecule) which when taken orally, could supportstem cell release? To answer this question, aningenious protocol was designed. We coatedmagnetic beads with a fusion protein in which weembedded molecules of L-selectin. These L-selectinmolecules were used like fishing rods to capture apotential L-selectin ligand in AFA. If AFAcontained an L-selectin ligand, it would bind to theL-selectin and we could then isolate it. Using thisprocess, we identified the presence of a specific L-selectin ligand in AFA.

To ensure that this molecule indeed had abiological effect on stem cells, we isolated stem cellsfrom the blood and exposed them to the AFA L-selectin ligand. Stimulation of the L-selectin leads inthe body to the externalization of a receptor moleculecalled CXCR4 on the surface membrane of stemcells. It is possible to quantify the density of CXCR4at the surface of stem cells using antibodies and flowcytometry (to measure cells). If the ligand found inAFA was a stimulant, incubation of stem cells withthe AFA L-selectin ligand would lead toexternalization of CXCR4. If it was a blocker ofL-selectin, it would lead to a reduction in theexternalization of CXCR4. Using this approach, wedemonstrated that the molecule found in AFA is ablocker of L-selectin.Finally, once we knew the molecule responsible for

the effect on stem cell release, we designed a way toconcentrate it, leading to the development ofStemEnhance. StemEnhance is a 5-to-1 concentrateof AFA that specifically concentrates the L-selectinligand found in AFA. Consumption of one gram ofStemEnhance leads to a 25%-30% increase in thenumber of circulating stem cells in the blood. Thisbeing said, the process to make StemEnhance wasdesigned to concentrate not only the L-selectinligand but also other water-soluble compounds likevitamins, minerals, phenylethylamine, phycocyanin,chlorophyll and many other compounds. Therefore,although StemEnhance is specifically designed tosupport stem cell release, it actually contains all thecompounds present in AFA that are known to havehealth-promoting properties.

THE LONG-AWAITED articledescribing all the work doneto develop StemEnhancewill soon be published in awell-respected peer reviewscientific journal. As we awaitthe official publication, here

is a summary of the scientificinformation validating the effectof StemEnhance on stem cells.

seemtoknowhowtoencouragetheirbodiestopromoteoptimalhealth.People all over Mexico want to learn more about StemEnhance. They flock to meetings

and small gatherings - anywhere that a STEMTech field leader is speaking - and they comeaway with an eagerness to make StemEnhance part of their lives. Each meeting generates apile of New Distributor applications, as Mexican citizens take advantage of the discountsavailable to STEMTech distributors.

At the STEMTech Pre-Launch in Guadalajara, Ray Carter, Christian Drapeau, VP OscarRosas and many of our top Field Leaders introduced StemEnhance to Mexico for the firsttime. The Guadalajara audience applauded enthusiastically as both Ray and Christian didtheir entire presentations in Spanish, a language unfamiliar to both of them only a few monthsago. “We were so gratified by the warmth of the reception we experienced,” Ray says. “Inmeetings and in casual conversation, we were greeted with such a welcoming spirit andwonderful hospitality.” Christian agrees, adding, “It was a heartwarming and humblingexperience.”

While STEMTech headquarters for Mexico is located in Guadalajara, the introduction ofStemEnhance to Mexico has extended far into the countryside of this large country. Followingthe Guadalajara events, Christian, Oscar andTriple Diamonds Anna Gallman, Dr. EnriqueMartinez and Izzy Matos traveled to Colima, where they held regional meetings for generalattendance and invitation-only meetings for medical professionals. Christian, Anna andEnrique went on to Manzanillo for more regionals. Every meeting was infused withenthusiasm, as participants eagerly took in every bit of information shared from the podium.Following the presentations, there was a rush for both product and applications. “It washectic,” Enrique says, “but also exciting!”

Then Anna and her newMexican team traveled to Poza Rica, Veracruz, where PadreJohnny (See Rising Stars) was the motivating force behind agathering of 710 people at the open meeting and 88 doctors atthe special meeting for medical professionals! With additionalsmall meetings held in hotel suites, restaurants, or “almostanywhere,” Anna says she came away with “two full bindersfull of applications.”

As the newMexican distributors learn aboutSTEMTech teamwork and are trained inbusiness development, they travel throughouttheir country, spreading the word aboutStemEnhance. FromMexico City toQuintana Roo, and all places in-between,what's HOT in this tropical country these

days is StemEnhance!

Midge HemeyerSouth Dakota

Midge Hemeyer says she hasalways had a passion for healthand helping people.Nevertheless, it took more thana year for her to “hear” herfriend and John Wiskur whenthey talked about

StemEnhance. “I had blinders on,” she says. “I didn't evenknow we had stem cells in our bodies, so I wasn't interested.”

Once she finally read the StemEnhance brochure andbegan to learn about the power of the product, Midge decidedto see what StemEnhance might do for her husband, who hascardio-vascular challenges. “In a few days, he had so muchenergy and a sense of well-being that he was excited. 'Signup!' he said.” Midge went FastStart that day. “It just madesense to us.”

Midge, too, had good results quickly with StemEnhance.An avid horsewoman and veteran of buffalo roundups, Midgehad been bucked off a horse two years ago, injuring her pelvis.After the accident, she learned to live with the discomfort,avoiding some equine activities that bothered her. SinceStemEnhance, she is back to the full life of a horsewoman.“My goal is to see the United States from the back of a horse,sharing StemEnhance and StemEquine with everyone I meet,”she says.

“I would never do any business but network marketing,” shesays. “The sky's the limit!” She says people can sense when youreally believe in something. “I just share from my heart what Ithink people need to know. And what could be better thanhaving a product that no one else has!”

John emigrated to the UnitedStates from his native Korea in1979 for a better life. “The UnitedStates is paradise on earth,” Johnsays. Educated in theology, Johnworked with youth, later turningto real estate investment, whichhas provided him a very good income. Earlier this year, his sisterKeeae sent him a bottle of StemEnhance. “She sent it to my wifeand me out of love,” John says, noting that Keeae creditsStemEnhance with supporting her rapid recovery from a veryserious health challenge.

With the first few capsules, John immediately noticedimprovement in his energy level. “I work out a lot, and I saw amuch shorter recovery time after hard exercise. I was impressed!”As a careful businessman, however, John looked intoSTEMTech and discovered for himself that both founders had“good track records. Ray and Christian are respected for theirintegrity and both have good business sense. I came in as aFastStart,” he says.

These days, STEMTech is a full-time business for JohnHong. He recently spent two weeks in Mexico, where heapplauds STEMTech for “a very professional presentation at thepre-Launch. It was a great event, and the people were soreceptive.” He adds, “I think Mexico will be big!” John says heloves to work with people and sees potential in everyone. Hewants to be a Triple Diamond “ASAP,” and plans to visit all thecountries opened by STEMTech. “Everybody the world overcan follow a dream to health and wealth with this company!”

Barry McLeodNevada

A veteran network marketerfor over 20 years, BarryMcLeod did not expect to hearanything new when he attendeda STEMTech meeting featuringChristian Drapeau. “ButChristian was so sincere that Iwas captivated,” he says. “I felt

that he was talking pure truth, and his message resonated inmy very soul.” Barry went FastStart that day, and hisenthusiasm for StemEnhance drove him to Director the firstmonth. He says, “When my volume doubled in the secondmonth, I knew I was on my way!”

Barry has good reason to be enthusiastic aboutStemEnhance. For many years his quality of life wascompromised by several health challenges; some days hecould not even get out of bed. “I missed a lot of familyfunctions,” he says. “You learn to live with the discomfort, butI got so depressed.” Then he began taking StemEnhance andright away he felt a lot better. In a few days, he was tellingeverybody, “This product is amazing!”

Barry says he does not worry too much about levels as hebuilds his business. “I just work really, really hard.” He sayshe loves network marketing. “It's the last bastion of freeenterprise in the United States. All my past experience hasbrought me here, so I can really appreciate what Ray Carterand Christian Drapeau have put together.” He adds, “If youhave the right product and the right company -- as we dowith StemEnhance and STEMTech -- what a difference youcan make in people's lives!”
