VitalPointTech Announces Acquisition of Herban Healing, LLC, a Revolutionary Bio-Pharmaceutical Company

Herban Healing is dedicated to providing alternative healthcare options to combat the opioid crisis

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2023 / VitalPoint Technologies, Inc. (“VPT”) is thrilled to announce the successful completion of its second acquisition, Herban Healing, LLC (“Herban”), a Texas-based biopharmaceutical company focused on healthcare products beginning in 2019.

Co-Founders Kyle Williams and Jennifer Gilleland, LVN, established Herban Healing with the goal of addressing the opioid epidemic that has plagued our nation. Their mission is to develop innovative healthcare solutions that offer alternatives to traditional opioid-based treatments.

Kyle Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of Herban Healing, LLC, expressed his excitement about partnering with VitalPoint Technologies, stating, “Through VitalPoint Technologies, we are able to collaborate with academia and industry to expand research, raise awareness, and explore the potential uses of alternative medicine. While our initial focus has been on the hospice market, we are eager to expand our reach to the veterans community and addiction facilities, ensuring that those in need have access to the best options available.”

The Opioid Epidemic

According to the CDC, “More than 1 million people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose. More than 75% of drug overdose deaths in 2021 involved an opioid. Opioids are substances that work in the nervous system of the body or in specific receptors in the brain to reduce the intensity of pain. The number of overdose deaths involving opioids, including prescription opioids, heroin, and synthetic opioids (like fentanyl), in 2021 was 10 times the number in 1999. Overdoses involving opioids killed more than 80,000 people in 2021, and nearly 88% of those deaths involved synthetic opioids.”

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Gilleland embarked on extensive research to combat opioid addiction and improve the lives of high-risk populations, including veterans, the elderly, and individuals with mental health issues. Herban Healing’s beachhead market is hospice care, where patients are seeking holistic and alternative solutions to alleviate pain and enhance their quality of life during their final days.

Addressable Market in Hospice Care

According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), “1.72 million eligible Medicare beneficiaries will choose hospice care in 2020. This is a 6.8% increase from 2019, representing the largest recent year-over-year increase in the number of Americans choosing hospice care, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage. With baby boomers retiring this number is expected to increase greatly.”

Over the course of three years, the Co-Founders of Herban Healing overcame supply chain challenges and barriers to entry to develop their proprietary blend of hemp-derived biopharmaceuticals. The positive results have led to increased orders, word-of-mouth recommendations, and numerous testimonials from healthcare professionals and patients. However, further research and potential clinical trials are necessary to support Herban Healing’s bio-technology ambitions.

Advancing Anti-Opioid Research

The National Library of Medicine published in Oct 22, that, “CBD has been reported to have several therapeutic properties including anxiolytic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, analgesic, as well as reduction of cue-induced craving for opioids, all of which are highly relevant to opioid withdrawal syndrome. In addition, CBD has been shown in several clinical trials to be a well-tolerated with no significant adverse effects, even when co-administered with a potent opioid agonist.”

Robert Yrshus, Chief Executive Officer of VitalPoint Technologies, emphasized the significance of this acquisition, stating, “This presents a unique opportunity for VitalPoint to address the crisis our nation is facing by providing more options for our elderly and veterans in need. We believe that these potential breakthrough alternative solutions will have a significant impact on individuals seeking alternatives to opioids and those struggling with addiction. By integrating Herban Healing into our platform, we gain valuable research and information, as well as a strong distribution channel with attractive returns.”
