I guess I swished with HOCL for probably 10 years and I got into it because I started to learn about HOCL doing all the chemistry and the biology and support of what was at the time my job developing the the characteristics, the profiles of a very pure HOCL that the company was making. 

 

I was a pioneer. We were looking at all kinds of applications and providing free HOCL to a lot of people to try this. Try this on your skin, on your wound, in your eye and we pretty quickly realized that there was a big benefit from HOCL orally for a lot of reasons that began to see and my business partner began to see the dentist that we went to saying, "Hey, what are you doing? Because this looks good." 

 

That was the impetus for us to start swishing and [music] swirling around HOCL and realizing that there were benefits that only we could feel, but other people could see them too, including dentists. The change I think was in the obvious health of my gums. I'm no youngster and they do deteriorate with age. 

 

So, the comment was my gums are really healthy, they don't bleed, that my teeth and most of these comments by the way were coming from the hygienists and here in the states quite often the cleaning and the assessment of the teeth is done by the hygienist and then [music] the dentist comes in to do whatever special. 

 

So, those hygienists are seeing every hour on the hour a new mouth and a new set of problems. And what I was finding and my colleagues at the company finding was that the professionals were saying, "You're doing something right. What is it?" And we would tell them our HOCL story.
