The health-insurance industry is sending thousands of its employees to town-hall meetings
Loved Ones…a spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s trade group, admitted in an article published Monday that as many as

50,000 industry employees are involved in an effort to fight back against aggressive healthcare reform.

This admission highlights the stakes of potential healthcare reform for the private health insurance industry.

Insurers and investors alike are terrified at the prospect of a so-called “public option,” which would create a government-run health insurance program to compete with private insurers.

Because the government plan wouldn’t have to earn a profit, the plan would be able to undercut the premiums of private firms, pressuring profit margins.

The health-insurance industry is sending thousands of its employees to town-hall meetings and other forums during Congress’s August recess to try to counter a tide of criticism directed at the insurers and remain a player — and not an outsider …

Loved Ones… in this so called “debate” over the future of our health-care system your love and compassion for your loved one is being used as a weapon of greed.

Loved Ones do not forget…1/2 of all health care monies spent of this entire planet is spent in this country and we rank 30th in service to our citizens who are paying the bill…America ranks 30th behind Botswana

…where do you think all this money is going?

...it is not going to those in need or to those doing the healing…it is going into those within the insurance industry.

At this time I petition for all souls involved in the health care insurance lie to learn all their lessons with the least amount of pain.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,

promoting the flu vaccine while most people are not fully aware of the risks.
Loved Ones….here is a copy of a letter I received from a trusted source

…please read and give considerable thought to the concepts….you deserve it!

Dear Samuel,
If you have not heard from the official news media (the ones controlled by the pharmaceutical advertisers) that you will either die or be terribly inconvenienced by getting the swine flu in the next few months, you must be living a very sheltered life... As I am hearing it, they definitely want us to think that

the end of the world as we know it is near.

The H1N1 strain has been hyped up to "highest level". The danger rating only means that it spreads fast. It does NOT mean that it is fatal. The known fatalities were all people with underlying medical conditions, and I would assume that they could have died of any infectious disease. Still, who would like to get the flu, anyway?

Do you know that 36,000 Americans die of the ordinary flu every year anyway?

So why would a few hundred more cases be a cause for alarm? Are "they" just looking for an excuse to sell a lot of vaccines? Or to create a compulsory vaccination program?

There is a chance that the virus could mutate and become something quite dangerous to some people. Who do you think would be vulnerable? Not everybody.

The acid-alkali balance in your lymphatic system has a direct relationship with its oxygen carrying capacity. With lower oxygen level the infection frequency rises. The more you eat the acidifying foods, the lower your ability to resist germ based infections. Have you never wondered why only a few kids in the class, or a few people in the office get sick with it when it arrives? Why not everybody? Because only people with a ready to go cellular terrain will be the ones chosen. Not randomly, but by their own actions.

I have a few solutions for you. There are two ways you can approach it: prevention, and mitigation. Today I will cover both. Don't waste this chance, read this letter, and be ready. If you have not maintained a good cellular terrain, you or your loved ones might need it. Get prepared.
To your health,

Martin Pytela
P.S. I thought it would be good for you to see something about the not so long ago government mass attempt to deal with the flu.
This time it will be worse, because they are not even testing the vaccine,

they are just going to unload it onto the population, starting with children.

Flu from the holistic health perspective: when your body becomes overwhelmed by a viral infection, it attempts to burn it off by raising its own temperature. The body survives, but the viruses do not. There could be other symptoms associated with your body's immune system trying to overwhelm the invaders with all kinds of unpleasant weapons. Excess fluids, mucus, phlegm, etc.

If you'd like to read a well researched paper on the topic, Dr William Wong has done a fine job when he wrote about enzymes and virus infection.

The trouble with the new strains of viruses is that our immune systems are not prepared to cope with them. They usually develop in places where human and animal excrement mix - such as the ducks and humans in Southeast Asia, or the recent hogs and humans in Mexico. The small town where the latest flu epidemic started is near a huge hog farm. You can't see it on the television shots, but the air there just reeks of pig excrement.

The daily news will try and convince you that the flu vaccination is a no-brainer, but you would have to be brainless to not consider the downside:
First you might like to find out what the ingredients of flu vaccines are before you decide to go for it. It is not a pretty list. I would not want to put it into my body, let alone my children's.

Here is a recent press release describing a situation quite typical for the kind of reaction I want to warn you about:
________________________________________
B.C. man paralyzed after flu shot warns of risks

A New Westminster man is raising a warning flag after he contracted a rare and debilitating condition linked to the flu shot that left him paralyzed for almost five months.
Every fall, health care workers across Canada distribute 10 million influenza vaccinations, and for the vast majority of people, the flu shot causes no major problems.
Within two weeks of getting his annual flu shot in 2007, however, Richard Ryan, 44, went from being happy and healthy to being in excruciating pain. At first, Ryan thought he had injured his back, and he checked into the local hospital emergency room, he told CBC News on Wednesday.

But Ryan was also suffering some numbness, and when a neurologist tested his reflexes, he found Ryan had none, he said. "The doctor asked me what was going on in my life. And as soon as I said I was feeling ill after getting a flu shot, he said, 'Stop right there, I know what you have,'" Ryan said.
Guillain-Barré syndrome linked to vaccine

The neurologist diagnosed Ryan with Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, the chance of developing that particular disease from a flu shot is one in a million. But as Ryan learned the consequences can be severe. By the time the emergency room exam was over, he was unable to get up. He spent the next 10 weeks recovering in hospital, including three weeks in intensive care, barely able to breathe or eat for himself.

"My face was paralyzed. I had no feeling inside my mouth. I couldn't feel my tongue. My left eye wouldn't close so it had to be taped shut to sleep," he said. The illness progressed into a lifelong condition known as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and a year later he remains heavily medicated, unable to work, and has memory problems.

Although the disease is in remission, he is not expected to make a full recovery, and the chronic condition could return at any point in the future.
Worth the risk?

Now Ryan is concerned that public health officials are promoting the flu vaccine while most people are not fully aware of the risks.

However, Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, says the benefits of the flu vaccine still outweigh the risks for the vast majority of people. "Nothing is completely risk-free," she told CBC News. "It is always a matter of weighing the benefits and the risks."

Medical information provided with flu shots does mention the one-in-a-million chance of getting Guillain-Barré syndrome. But it is especially important for people with heart and lung problems, the elderly and the chronically ill, to get the influenza vaccine because it could save their lives, Skowronski said. "Influenza itself can be life threatening, and it's those groups that we want to make sure are not put off from receiving influenza vaccine unnecessarily," said Skowronski.

There are more than 2,000 flu-related deaths in Canada every year. Seniors, people with weak immune systems and some children are at highest risk. More common possible side-effects of vaccinations can include fever, muscle pain and weakness.

For his part, Ryan maintains that he's a good example of the fact that the benefits of the vaccination don't always outweigh the risks. "I think if people knew how serious the illness is, they would think twice about the flu shot," he said.
The cellular terrain will sustain viruses only if it is acidic enough for them to survive. So how does it become acidic? The list is almost comical - the description of our modern lifestyle: stress, lack of sleep, coffee, cigarettes, fried food, refined food (sugar, flour, salt, fat), cooked proteins (roasted and fried meat, and surprisingly also baked grains). Oh, and one more: lack of exercise. What does that leave you to live on? Salads, smoothies, stir fries. Plenty of variety, really.
The most alkalizing things you can do: drink the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon every morning, make your salad dressing with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, take alkalizing baths, add alkalizing minerals to your drinking water.

If you are already in trouble, you may need a water ionizer, or an ionic foot spa, or perhaps both.
We write about these lifestyle choices in our Health Education pages. When you are pH balanced and your immune system is strong, you will not catch anything, because it will not stick to you.

There are two ways you can help your immune system cope with viral infections: supplement with systemic enzymes and with lecithin. Both of these supplements will help unmask and expose the virus to your immune system. Virus puts on protective coating that protects it from detection by the immune system much like the sheep's clothing on a wolf.

It is important that you think ahead. There is no way we can ship to you the tools that will help you if you are already becoming sick. I know we are supposed to focus on the positive, but in this case you should prepare for "Plan B" - stock some energency supplies. See the next box for a few tested ideas.
Here are several common sense ideas you could implement. It is simple, but not necessarily easy. My wife and I make it a sport of watching servers in fast food restaurants.

We catch them all the time doing things that will definitely transmit any infection:
1. Wash Your Hands
It is common knowledge that people think they are clean, but they are not. Sterile technique is taught to doctors and nurses who work in surgery. Most everybody else does not really understand. How many times have you seen the person handling your food handle the money with the same hands?
2. Keep Your Hands Off Your Face
Even if you wash, you will pick up stuff. So keep it out of your eyes, nose, mouth.
3. Move Fast If Symptoms Occur
Even if you are careful, you still run the risk of exposure from ventilation systems in airplanes, airports, malls, etc. All handles or other places where we touch either directly or indirectly we are exposed. Some viruses are airborne, some are transmitted by hand to hand contact.
At the first sign of a sore throat or achiness, take action!

Loved Ones…hand washing is one of the best ways to protect yourself…today as I worked 7.5 hours in a high end Rehabilitation Hospital in Tampa Florida I must have washed my hands at least 40 times….at least…probably more like 60 times….

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,

Overall US is 67th, right behind Botswana
Loved Ones…I have spent more than 30 years providing health care to souls in this country….and believe me when I say….our health care system is a war zone.

Loving persons suffering and dying…loving persons being abused by large corporations as they lay in bed with a call button and a plastic urinal and bed pan

Loving persons dehydrating, with holes in their flesh from bed sores, enduring ongoing throbbing pains

Why…because of the greed of huge insurance companies and their contractors and subcontractors all in the business to make money from persons who are desperate for health care…this is a criminal act…this is greed at its worst…

Loved Ones…why doesn’t the United States have universal health care as a right of citizenship?

The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee access to health care as a right of citizenship. 28 industrialized nations have single payer universal health care systems, while 1 (Germany) has a multipayer universal health care system like President Clinton proposed for the United States.

Myth One: The United States has the best health care system in the world.
• Fact One: The United States ranks 23rd in infant mortality, down from 12th in 1960 and 21st in 1990

• Fact Two: The United States ranks 20th in life expectancy for women down from 1st in 1945 and 13th in 1960

• Fact Three: The United States ranks 21st in life expectancy for men down from 1st in 1945 and 17th in 1960.

• Fact Four: The United States ranks between 50th and 100th in immunizations depending on the immunization. Overall US is 67th, right behind Botswana

• Fact Five: Outcome studies on a variety of diseases, such as coronary artery disease, and renal failure show the United States to rank below Canada and a wide variety of industrialized nations.

• Conclusion: The United States ranks poorly relative to other industrialized nations in health care despite having the best trained health care providers and the best medical infrastructure of any industrialized nation

3. Myth Two: Universal Health Care Would Be Too Expensive

• Fact One: The United States spends at least 40% more per capita on health care than any other industrialized country with universal health care

• Fact Two: Federal studies by the Congressional Budget Office and the General Accounting office show that single payer universal health care would save 100 to 200 Billion dollars per year despite covering all the uninsured and increasing health care benefits.

• Fact Three: State studies by Massachusetts and Connecticut have shown that single payer universal health care would save 1 to 2 Billion dollars per year from the total medical expenses in those states despite covering all the uninsured and increasing health care benefits

• Fact Four: The costs of health care in Canada as a % of GNP, which were identical to the United States when Canada changed to a single payer, universal health care system in 1971, have increased at a rate much lower than the United States, despite the US economy being much stronger than Canada’s.

• Conclusion: Single payer universal health care costs would be lower than the current US system due to lower administrative costs. The United States spends 50 to 100% more on administration than single payer systems. By lowering these administrative costs the United States would have the ability to provide universal health care, without managed care, increase benefits and still save money

4. Myth Three: Universal Health Care Would Deprive Citizens of Needed Services

• Fact One: Studies reveal that citizens in universal health care systems have more doctor visits and more hospital days than in the US

• Fact Two: Around 30% of Americans have problem accessing health care due to payment problems or access to care, far more than any other industrialized country. About 17% of our population is without health insurance. About 75% of ill uninsured people have trouble accessing/paying for health care.

• Fact Three: Comparisons of Difficulties Accessing Care Are Shown To Be Greater In The US Than Canada

• Fact Four: Access to health care is directly related to income and race in the United States. As a result the poor and minorities have poorer health than the wealthy and the whites.

• Fact Five: There would be no lines under a universal health care system in the United States because we have about a 30% oversupply of medical equipment and surgeons, whereas demand would increase about 15%

• Conclusion: The US denies access to health care based on the ability to pay. Under a universal health care system all would access care. There would be no lines as in other industrialized countries due to the oversupply in our providers and infrastructure, and the willingness/ability of the United States to spend more on health care than other industrialized nations.

5. Myth Four: Universal Health Care Would Result In Government Control And Intrusion Into Health Care Resulting In Loss Of Freedom Of Choice

• Fact One: There would be free choice of health care providers under a single payer universal health care system, unlike our current managed care system in which people are forced to see providers on the insurer’s panel to obtain medical benefits

• Fact Two: There would be no management of care under a single payer, universal health care system unlike the current managed care system which mandates insurer preapproval for services thus undercutting patient confidentiality and taking health care decisions away from the health care provider and consumer

• Fact Three: Although health care providers fees would be set as they are currently in 90% of cases, providers would have a means of negotiating fees unlike the current managed care system in which they are set in corporate board rooms with profits, not patient care, in mind

• Fact Four: Taxes, fees and benefits would be decided by the insurer which would be under the control of a diverse board representing consumers, providers, business and government. It would not be a government controlled system, although the government would have to approve the taxes. The system would be run by a public trust, not the government.

• Conclusion: Single payer, universal health care administered by a state public health system would be much more democratic and much less intrusive than our current system. Consumers and providers would have a voice in determining benefits, rates and taxes.

Problems with free choice, confidentiality and medical decision making would be resolved

6. Myth Five: Universal Health Care Is Socialized Medicine And Would Be Unacceptable To The Public

• Fact One: Single payer universal health care is not socialized medicine. It is health care payment system, not a health care delivery system. Health care providers would be in fee for service practice, and would not be employees of the government, which would be socialized medicine. Single payer health care is not socialized medicine, any more than the public funding of education is socialized education, or the public funding of the defense industry is socialized defense.

• Fact Two: Repeated national and state polls have shown that between 60 and 75% of Americans would like a universal health care system (see The Harris Poll #78, October 20, 2005)

• Conclusion: Single payer, universal health care is not socialized medicine and would be preferred by the majority of the citizens of this country

7. Myth Six: The Problems With The US Health Care System Are Being Solved and Are Best Solved By Private Corporate Managed Care Medicine because they are the most efficient

• Fact One: Private for profit corporation are the lease efficient deliverer of health care. They spend between 20 and 30% of premiums on administration and profits. The public sector is the most efficient. Medicare spends 3% on administration.

• Fact Two: The same procedure in the same hospital the year after conversion from not-for profit to for-profit costs in between 20 to 35% more

• Fact Three: Health care costs in the United States grew more in the United States under managed care in 1990 to 1996 than any other industrialized nation with single payer universal health care

• Fact Four: The quality of health care in the US has deteriorated under managed care. Access problems have increased. The number of uninsured has dramatically increased (increase of 10 million to 43.4 million from 1989 to 1996, increase of 2.4% from 1989 to 1996- 16% in 1996 and increasing each year).

• Fact Five: The level of satisfaction with the US health care system is the lowest of any industrialized nation.

• Fact Six: 80% of citizens and 71% of doctors believe that managed care has caused quality of care to be compromised

• Conclusion: For profit, managed care can not solve the US health care problems because health care is not a commodity that people shop for, and quality of care must always be compromised when the motivating factor for corporations is to save money through denial of care and decreasing provider costs. In addition managed care has introduced problems of patient confidentiality and disrupted the continuity of care through having limited provider networks.

8. Overall Answer to the questions Why doesn’t the US have single payer universal health care when single payer universal health care is the most efficient, most democratic and most equitable means to deliver health care? Why does the United States remain wedded to an inefficient, autocratic and immoral system that makes health care accessible to the wealthy and not the poor when a vast majority of citizens want it to be a right of citizenship?

Loved Ones… Corporations are able to buy politicians through our campaign finance system and control the media to convince people that corporate health care is democratic, represents freedom, and is the most efficient system for delivering health care

At this time I petition for all individuals who are “making health care decisions at the insurance provider level” to learn all their lessons with the least amount of pain.

Loved Ones…we cannot judge them…but …yes…we can judge their actions.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,

Now go take a bath
Loved Ones…as a Florida and California Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist I have worked with numerous traumatic injury patients….

Like the 3 year old girl who fell backwards off a swing on to the frozen ground while being pushed by her mum….

or the teen age young man who while walking home was pushed into the bushes while rough housing and hit his neck on the curb….

or the 8 year old girl seated in the SUV on highway 101 who was rear ended by a semi….

or the individual like yourself who slipped in the tub…all of these were sudden and unexpected life changing episodes impacting the specific victim and all their loved ones….

Loved ones when you fracture your neck suddenly cars, housing, money, the stock market, who is president, what country is your friend and what country you are being told is your enemy suddenly does not matter…all that matters is now your hands do not work, your arms do not work, your legs do not work….swallowing your own saliva becomes a serious issue if you are going to make it to tomorrow…

Loved Ones…we in the united states have had a “leader” who denied help to those of us in need ….Mr. George Bush combined with many of those who label themselves Christians have inhibited the rehabilitation of many thousands of spinal cord injured souls across this nation…now a tiny country 1500 miles from Antarctica is leading the way…

My country…New Zealand is leading the way for a civilized conceptual framework where Surgeons are now preparing to insert stem cells into a dozen disabled New Zealanders in a bid to help them walk again.

Operations will start later this year on the first 12 New Zealanders with chest/stomach-level spinal injuries, as a clinical trial.

The Spinal Cord Society - a charity which has been funding research into stem cells - has won conditional approval to start the trials on paraplegic volunteers.

The trials will cost $2m, though the society has no government funding for them.

"I now believe it will be in my lifetime that people will go into hospital with a spinal injury and walk out a few months later just as though they'd experienced a broken leg,"' Spinal Cord Society chairwoman Noela Vallis said tonight.

Society spokesman Tony Edmonds said it was preparing additional information requested for a Multi-Region Ethics Committee meeting in Wellington next month at which he was confident of receiving full approval.

He said other programmes overseas had convinced a growing number of medical experts that an effective treatment for spinal cord injuries was getting much closer.

Mr Edmonds said at least a dozen New Zealand labs were researching non-embryonic adult stem cells for conditions such as brain injury and arthritis.

The procedure to be applied in New Zealand had been carried out overseas in countries such as Portugal, Italy, Japan and China on well over 100 people with few negative side-effects and varying degrees of improvement for each patient.

This had included recovering bowel and bladder-function, through to extra feeling and movement in limbs.

The procedure involves extracting nerve tissue from a volunteer's nose and inserting this into the injured area of the spinal cord.
Ms Vallis said the procedure offered no controversy over the source of cells because it involved a transfer of the patient's own cells.
"It's similar to a skin graft, so there is no need for complex anti-rejection drugs," she said.

"While doctors in other countries have actually made a start with these procedures, we have made use of the delays here, to continue studying the behavior of human cells in our lab," she said.
"We are probably ahead of other countries in this knowledge."
Dr Jim Faed, the cell biologist and haematologist who manages the society's research programme and who will lead the clinical research team to undertake the trial operations, said there was still much to learn about the cell behavior.

"The clinical trial we have planned, and the expected future trials, will help advance that understanding," he said.

Doctors were confident that the first trial was the right step to take in moving to human research, as it will go further than research overseas and collect important information about the mechanisms for improvement.

Dr Faed said if the operations confirm results found overseas while clarifying other key points identified by the research team, the society would be well placed to carry out trials of enhanced procedures.

Ms Vallis set up the society in 1991 to seek a cure for her husband's spinal injury, though he has since died.

"We are poised to bring possibly the greatest medical breakthrough in a century and we are doing it as a charitable organization," she said. "We will need financial support".

Loved Ones…give some thought to how Americans treat other Americans and you will obtain some insight into how the rest of this planet views America.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,

In our country 36.2 million adults and children struggled with hunger
Loved Ones...your brain receives input from your mind....which in turn receives input from our Source and Destiny....Mother and Father God....

The health of you brain impacts its ability to function...

The young brain is most sensitive to lack of nutrients as it is rapidly growing and expanding during these earliest years...

Loved Ones...consider what lack of food does to this nation and its future as some 691,000 children went hungry in America sometime in 2007, while close to one in eight Americans struggled to feed themselves adequately even before this year's sharp economic downtown, the Agriculture Department reported Monday.

The department's annual report on food security showed that during 2007 the number of children who suffered a substantial disruption in the amount of food they typically eat was more than 50 percent above the 430,000 in 2006 and the largest figure since 716,000 in 1998.

Overall, the 36.2 million adults and children who struggled with hunger during the year was up slightly from 35.5 million in 2006. That was 12.2 percent of Americans who didn't have the money or assistance to get enough food to maintain active, healthy lives.

Almost a third of those, 11.9 million adults and children, went hungry at some point. That figure has grown by more than 40 percent since 2000.

The government says these people suffered a substantial disruption in their food supply at some point and classifies them as having "very low food security." Until the government rewrote its definitions two years ago, this group was described as having "food insecurity with hunger."

The findings should increase pressure to meet President-elect Barack Obama's campaign pledge to expand food aid and end childhood hunger by 2015, said James Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center, an anti-hunger group.

He predicted the 2008 numbers will show even more hunger because of the sharp economic downturn this year.

"There's every reason to think the increases in the number of hungry people will be very, very large based on the increased demand we're seeing this year at food stamp agencies, emergency kitchens, Women, Infants and Children clinics, really across the entire social service support structure," said James Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center, an anti-hunger group.

Weill said the figures show that economic growth during the first seven years of the Bush administration didn't reach the poorest and hungriest people. "The people in the deepest poverty are suffering the most," Weill said.

The number of adults and children with "low food security" — those who avoided substantial food disruptions but still struggled to eat — fell slightly since 2000, from 24.7 million to 24.3 million. The government said these people have several ways of coping — eating less varied diets, obtaining food from emergency kitchens or community food charities, or participating in federal aid programs like food stamps, the school lunch program or the Women, Infants and Children program.

Among other findings:

_The families with the highest rates of food insecurity were headed by single mothers (30.2 percent), black households (22.2 percent), Hispanic households (20.1 percent), and households with incomes below the official poverty line (37.7 percent).

_States with families reporting the highest prevalence of food insecurity during 2005-2007 were Mississippi (17.4 percent), New Mexico (15 percent), Texas (14.8 percent) and Arkansas (14.4 percent).

_The highest growth in food insecurity over the last 9 years came in Alaska and Iowa, both of which saw a 3.7 percent increase in families who struggled to eat adequately or had substantial food disruptions.

Loved Ones...each of us can help...do not waste food...share what you have...it is not what we want or say or desire that counts...it is what we do that counts....

When you pass on and go up the Light...enter into heaven...no one will ask how many cars you had...or what designer clothes you owned...no one will ask how much money you made...all anybody will want to know is who you loved and how you loved them.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,

The technology is a powerful medical and research tool for scientists.
Loved Ones…in my country of New Zealand...which I dearly love is a small Hamilton-based IT company NetValue which expects a huge boost in international sales as a result of Microsoft taking an interest in its specialist high-performance search technology.

Loved Ones…health and healing technologies benefit all of us…Americans, New Zealanders, North Koreans, Palestinians, Iraqis, French, Asians, Africans, Eskimos, and Israelis.

So it is most important these technologies progress with petitions and prayers from all of us.

After seeing NetValue's ground-breaking technology for super-fast genetic searching and analysis, Microsoft has given the Waikato company access to its global marketing and sales network.

Microsoft announced on Tuesday it was conferring a rare "high-potential managed independent software vendor partner" status on NetValue, making it one of only about 400 companies worldwide Microsoft takes a special interest in grooming for success.
NetValue is the only New Zealand software company to make it into the high-potential group.

The announcement was made at Microsoft's High Performance on Wall Street Conference in New York, where Microsoft showcased a new specialist server operating system, Windows HPC Server 2008.

NetValue has also been named a Microsoft high-performance computing partner and the conference included a demonstration of NetValue's Slim Search genomic searching technology which allows gene research and analysis to be done at ultra-fast speeds without the need for supercomputers.

NetValue chief executive Graham Gaylard, who was in New York for the announcement, said the company sent details of its high-performance search technology to Microsoft last year, but thought little more about it until "we got the big call out of the blue" in May.

"They said: 'We really like your software and it fits in with a couple of directions we're going in as a company.' So we shot up to Redmond [Microsoft's Washington base] and talked to them and they told us they'd put us in this [high-potential] group."

Gaylard said the top-tier status would give NetValue unparalleled access to Microsoft's global sales and marketing network, which he expected would provide a huge boost to the business.

"We give them a competitive advantage and they give us an instant credibility. It's definitely a win-win."

NetValue, which was established in 2004 and has a staff of 40, is gearing up for business expansion as global interest in its technology grows.

Gaylard spent last week in California talking to IT venture capitalists and said he expected interest from potential investors to be even stronger in the wake of the Microsoft partnership announcement.

While the company plans to open a US office, to be closer to major markets and funding sources, he says it will remain headquartered in Hamilton.

"Once we complete the funding rounds we're going through at the moment, the research and development will be ramped up in New Zealand," Gaylard said.

Interest in genomic searching and the comparative analysis of different genomes continues to grow. The technology is a powerful medical and research tool for scientists.

"It's all heading towards personalised medicine where everyone's going to get their genomes sequenced," Gaylard said.


Given the massive amounts of data involved in genomic analysis, the development of technology to enable fast searching on a cluster of standard computers, rather than using expensive supercomputers, is seen as a significant breakthrough.

"With all that information you need high-speed search technologies," Gaylard said. "We certainly have that. In fact we don't talk about time on the cluster any more; we just say our searches are real-time."

The algorithms behind NetValue's Slim Search were originally developed by listed New Zealand technology company Genesis Research and Development in 2004. Slim is an acronym for Sequence Location Indexer and Matcher.


When Genesis disbanded its bioinformatics team, the intellectual property was sold to a new company, Cartesian Gridspeed. NetValue purchased Cartesian Gridspeed this year.

Genesis said this week it retained an "economic interest" in Slim Search which included royalties on licensing revenue from the software.
