"Alternate Health is very pleased to have Dr. Blaine as a key contributor to our corporate go-forward strategies," says Howard Mann, CEO of Alternate Health. "We believe Dr. Blaine's 25 years of experience as a physician will be essential to our focus on the global CBD industry."

Alternate Health previously announced on May 2, 2019, and June 20, 2019, the acquisition of Blaine Labs Inc., an FDA-licensed medical manufacturer based in Greater Los Angeles, California. Founded by Dr. Blaine in 1996, Blaine Labs has 23 years of experience manufacturing FDA-registered and cGMP-compliant medical products. Dr. Blaine's vast experience and leadership are an invaluable asset to Alternate Health, providing ongoing oversight of the manufacturing and production side of the business. 

"I am excited to join Alternate Health's Board of Directors and Senior Management Team," says Dr. Blaine. "My goal is to aid in Alternate Health's transition to become a federal drug manufacturer and to oversee the addition of hemp-derived CBDs to our existing product line."

Alternate Health is working closely with Dr. Blaine on developing proprietary CBD-infused medical products. On June 20, 2019, the Alternate Health announced the launch of Hempnesic, the first hemp-derived pain-relieving gel developed by Blaine Labs. Dr. Blaine's experience and industry relationships will be essential as Alternate Health targets national distribution of its hemp-derived CBD products.
