BLT - Blis Technologies

[simla]

The thing to remember about Blis is that it is an alternative to antibiotics in some situations.

"Dr Chan said we could be entering into a “post-antibiotic era”...“Things as common as strep throat or a child’s scratched knee could once again kill." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/he...WHO-claim.html

"Already 25,000 Europeans die every year from antibiotic-resistant infections," http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/he...tibiotics.html

Blis is a fantastic discovery for mankind. It already saves much suffering amongst people who use it, and I have no doubt it will save lives in future as antibiotics become more feeble. The strep throat is one example, surely.

I don't know what the future is for BLT any more than anyone else, but I think it most likely the product itself will certainly survive now. All we're arguing about is how much that might profit the existing shareholders now.

If the product survives, I will be immensely pleased to have played a small part in launching that into the world through providing money to the company promoting it. This product is such a very significant discovery that I will always count my very small contribution to that as nevertheless something I will be proud of for the rest of my life.

From the low response of shareholders to the last issue, I have to assume that very many people have not considered the enormity of this discovery for mankind. Sounds melodramatic, I know, but actually it's true.

"A new product is the 20mg BLIS K12™ in ice cream punnets which are now available in some NZ stores. Similar ice cream products can be expected to appear in the USA so look for new BLIS K12™ food products in food stores!" http://yanimon.com/blis-k12/ear-infection.html

Yanimon has been doing a good job promoting Blis K12 for a while now, and has been known to post here from time to time. Good on you for being proactive. I'm not sure where you got that from though, as I haven't seen it elsewhere. Good to hear K12 ice cream is on sale in some stores now. I wonder how imminent the US bit is, or is that just GRAS generally?

Thanks Simla - good to read your positive words, rather than recent doom and gloom comments from others. I hope Blis survives for the purely selfish reason that I use it every day, and hope to continue so. Is the ice cream available in Auckland yet? I understand it is the low fat variety, which would fit in well with for my health and fitness goals; incidentally for anyone wanting to track their calorific intake there are some excellent free websites available. I use "Myfitnesspal" site and I will add the Blis ice cream to their data base when I get the nutritional info on it ....since joining the site I have gone from 79 to 70 kg in two months, and during this period I continued with my daily low fat ice cream fix.... which I just cannot give up.......

Thanks, Brucea. I'll obviously be happier when the capital raising is achieved and is satisfactory to existing shareholders. Impressive weight loss, good luck.

Ironically I would be better off if Blis Shares keep falling over the next few weeks as I hold so many Preference shares. If my calculations are correct.

All things being equal of course regarding capital raising etc

Will be an interesting few months. I wonder if Blis will do a wellington drive type issue?

My guess is a rights issue to all shareholders,, then after maybe Eion Edgar will make offer to "mop up" other shareholders at a low price and end up with around 70% of company with Barry Richardson and Directors holding a large percentage of the remaining shares. Then delist.

Eion Edgar is in a great position,, if he still believes in the Blis story.
Blis could be a real cash cow.
He seems like a nice guy, i remember seeing him on tv3 donating to Otago rugby creditors.
Would be great if he can donate to the poor Blis shareholders. haha

It would be interesting how much they could get if they sold Blis, surely would be worth at least 20 million plus to the right buyer. With Gras and China approval etc.

It would be cheaper to buy Blis than research and develop a product.

An interesting company is Biostime in China who make allot of money selling probiotics in China.

It would be interesting to learn the strength of the Chinese distributor.

My thinking is things surely only get better, but be wary of the rights issue and be prepared to participate

With Anzac Day upon us, your post is poignant, TheOne. You are just speculating, of course, but that speculation is only possible because of the overwhelming apathy of the shareholders. Let's admit it, over 90% of shareholders didn't make a contribution at the last issue.

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few". So said Churchill of the Battle of Britain, in which the British Air Force held the onslaught of Hitler.

The world has so many problems ahead now. The Global Financial Crisis is far from dealt with. Add in Climate Change. Antibiotic Resistance. Peak Oil. Water shortages. Environmental damage. Top soil depletion. Food issues. Everything shortage. Political instability.

Anzac Day commemorates people pulling together for the common good. But where do we see people pulling together today? A striking feature of the current financial crisis is the near complete absence of people pulling together.

The company has an achievable victory within sight now, or so believe a number of posters here anyway. Yet the company is now wasting its efforts scrambling around looking for capital because so few shareholders gave a helping hand last issue.

People seem to understand that our ancestors built this country that we enjoy, but so few seem to understand the need to build our future again now. I am sad that Blis is still facing problems, but way more sad that people seem so unwilling to pull together on so many fronts. I am very grateful that this small group here engages in the world to achieve things, and that the small group in Dunedin very much does that too.

The phrase for Anzac Day is "we will remember them." Some will, anyway.

By the way, most people don't know that the British won Gallipoli - including the British! The objective was not to win Gallipoli, but to take the Dardanelles, the strait between Turkey and Europe.

"Three months later, a British and French fleet that included 18 battleships, attempted to force its way through to Constantinople. Three capital ships were lost and three crippled. Unknown to the Allies, the Turkish gun batteries had almost exhausted their ammunition supplies in this effort, and the fleet could have sailed on through the straits with little further damage. Instead, [they sailed away, and decided to attack on land at Gallipoli to take the big guns out.]" http://www.anzacsite.gov.au/1landing/why.html

Had they just continued, history would have been very different. Arguably a stack of the 20th century would have turned out very differently. Interestingly, Anzac is taken as being formative moments for both NZ and Australia. And Ataturk didn't mind. He was a leading light at Gallipoli, and went on to dramatically rewrite Turkish history, of course.

Actually they have engaged a third party to do this so it shouldn't prove to be as distracting as one may fear.
