Asheville-based Avadim Technologies announces:

Asheville, NC (January 8, 2015) — Avadim Technologies, Inc. announced the shipment of an initial container of its patented Theraworx products to its distributor in Africa to fulfill orders by various hospitals and government agencies in Ghana and other west Africa countries. The container filled with 8 pallets totaling 854 cases, was shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facility at the end of December, and valued at a gross amount of approximately $206,000. This shipment comes after a donation of product by Avadim in August 2014 sent to Liberia to assist in the fight against the Ebola outbreak in the western Africa region.

“Avadim is pleased to have begun selling our Theraworx™ technology to Africa and to have officially embarked upon our planned international expansion,” stated Steve Woody, CEO, Avadim Technologies, Inc. “The heart of our company is to improve hospital acquired conditions with a cost saving technology that will benefit healthcare organizations globally. In light of the increase in the acceptance of the Company’s products and protocols, as evidenced by increase in sales, management is now seeking to further the Company’s international presence, selecting Ghana as its initial strategic market. We believe the initial shipment of product to Ghana will result in the commencement of regular international orders in the near future.”

Avadim’s patented Theraworx products and patent-pending protocols have demonstrated a proven ability to help hospitals control hospital-acquired conditions.  The unique Theraworx formula helps preserve the body’s natural skin function, by preventing dry skin and helping to maintain the natural acidic, anti-microbial nature of the skin’s outermost layer.

About Jeff Fobes
As a long-time proponent of media for social change, my early activities included coordinating the creation of a small community FM radio station to serve a poor section of St. Louis, Mo. In the 1980s I served as the editor of the "futurist" newsletter of the U.S. Association for the Club of Rome, a professional/academic group with a global focus and a mandate to act locally. During that time, I was impressed by a journalism experiment in Mississippi, in which a newspaper reporter spent a year in a small town covering how global activities impacted local events (e.g., literacy programs in Asia drove up the price of pulpwood; soybean demand in China impacted local soybean prices). Taking a cue from the Mississippi journalism experiment, I offered to help the local Green Party in western North Carolina start its own newspaper, which published under the name Green Line. Eventually the local party turned Green Line over to me, giving Asheville-area readers an independent, locally focused news source that was driven by global concerns. Over the years the monthly grew, until it morphed into the weekly Mountain Xpress in 1994. I've been its publisher since the beginning. Mountain Xpress' mission is to promote grassroots democracy (of any political persuasion) by serving the area's most active, thoughtful readers. Consider Xpress as an experiment to see if such a media operation can promote a healthy, democratic and wise community. In addition to print, today's rapidly evolving Web technosphere offers a grand opportunity to see how an interactive global information network impacts a local community when the network includes a locally focused media outlet whose aim is promote thoughtful citizen activism.
