I assume the current lack of a bid/ ask means that the MMs are not paying attention, yet. Am I correct - and if so, is there any typical time frame for "discovery?" Here's what has interested me in Desert Health and why your message and PR reprint on the subject caught my attention - and again, please correct me if I'm wrong. While the health product business is booming and already crowded with competition, DHPI appears (to date) to have found an under-developed niche in the formulation and distribution market, primarily in the promotion of indigenously American health products in Europe and elsewhere. DHPI's recent expansion into the retail market via their alignment with Everfill is intriguing. Internet sales and fulfillment capability go hand-in-hand. While I know very little about Everfill, what little I've discovered suggests to me that they are a legitimate player. If that is an accurate conclusion, Everfill could be a valuable strategic partner allowing DHPI to rapidly and seriously enter the Internet based retail market. Aside from the potential to dramatically broaden their client base through Internet retail sales, DHPI may have a distinct price edge in the retail market since they are also the formulator and partnering distributor. Any thoughts or updates would be greatly appreciated. Hope this note finds you in healthy and happy. Regards, Wally PS - My wife and I have both tried DHPI's products. My wife has used a couple of skin care items and I have consumed 3 or 4 of their dietary supplements. So far, both of us have been pleased with the quality and the results.
