SCHOFIELD, Wis., June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PuraMed
BioScience®, Inc., (OTCBB: PMBS), a researcher, developer, and
marketer of over-the-counter (OTC) medicinal and healthcare
products, announced today that in conjunction with Migraine
Awareness month, the company sponsored the San Diego Operation
Engage America event with Honoring Our Troops on Saturday, June 7, 2014. PuraMed provided samples
of LipiGesic® M along with educational information for
veterans, which was distributed at the Honoring Our Troops
booth.
"We were honored to participate in this inaugural event," said
Russell Mitchell, Chairman and CEO
of PuraMed BioScience. "There are so many veterans who suffer from
both post traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD) and migraine, but they
are unable to treat both conditions because of drug interactions.
Providing our veterans with a product that will make a real
difference in their lives fulfills the mission and purpose on which
our company was founded."
Operation Engage America (OEA) is a grassroots organization
started by two families who were looking for answers when their
sons, who served our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, lost their inner battles with
PTSD and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Operation Engage America has partnered with the American Legion,
VFW, IAVA, Paralyzed Veterans of America and the VA to bring
awareness, support and help to those who suffer PTSD and TBI.
According to the organization's website,
www.operation-engage-america.org, PTSD is not limited to service
men and women, but can affect "…first responders, victims of
domestic, child and sexual abuse, even some of those who've
experienced natural disasters and automobile accidents…" In
recognition of June being PTSD Awareness month, Operation Engage
America, held the first of what it hopes are many events across the
country to bring awareness, support, help, and healing to veterans
and their families.
"We appreciate PuraMed BioScience's support at this event," said
Sarah Tipton, Military Veteran
Advocate, Honoring Our Troops. "LipiGesic M has been requested in
care packages we send overseas, but we are finding the need for
this type of medication is just as great right here at home.
PuraMed supplied us with product and information that was well
received by our veterans and captured the interest of the medical
community."
"The chance to partner with Honoring Our Troops during this
event helped us get an effective product into the hands of the
people who need it the most," said Mitchell. "Though the event was
targeted toward veterans, it had an exceptionally large physician
turnout. Interest from the doctors was very high. We also
experienced a sample rate of over 50 percent. We are very excited
about the results and looking forward to participating in the next
event this summer."
