Kimberly Lloyd

Kimberly Purdy Lloyd received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas in 1975. She received a Masters of Science degree from the University of North Texas at Denton Texas in 1979. She worked as a research associate in basic research at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Dallas in Immunology during and after her education. She was granted the Welch Scholarship for her graduate work in biochemistry with an emphasis in enzymology and immunology. She published and presented numerous papers one of which granted her a first place award with the American Chemical Society in 1976. Her thesis work was published in the Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Purdy et al, 1979. Her academic interests were directed into aspects of biochemistry towards education, health and nutrition as a technical writer to present scientific material as it pertains to the use of nutritional supplements.

Clinton Howard

Clinton Howard graduated from Rice University with degrees in biology and chemistry. After graduate studies at Johns Hopkins Medical School, he earned a Master's Degree in Biomedical Communication from Southwestern Medical School. He has acted as President and Cofounder of successful companies in medical and health care products throughout his career. Clinton Howard was also the founding president of Irving Hospital, now a part of the Baylor Healthcare System. In recognition of his contributions, the Hospital named its Outpatient Wing "The Clinton H. Howard Center of Health Management." He was the primary impetus behind the initial investigation into the biochemical properties of the aloe vera plant. He has a unique talent to develop research into innovative and emerging discoveries in nutritional supplementation. In 1991, Clinton Howard formed Royal BodyCare, Inc., to market Microhydrin ® as well as other advanced nutritional and personal care products.

Patrick Flanagan

Working primarily in the field of bio-physics, Patrick Flanagan began his lifelong career as a research scientist at an early age. At 14, he invented the patented Neurophone ® which has enabled many deaf people to hear. At 17, he was recognized by LIFE Magazine (1962) as one of the most promising young scientists in America. As a primarily self-taught student, bypassing his teachers, he chose to work with prominent scientists as mentors, often as a consultant to the government, instead of following the traditional academic path to advanced degrees. He was awarded a Medical Degree by the University Medicina Alternativa (M.A.) personally presented by the President of Sri Lanka at the World Medical Congress. Out of a lifetime of developing life-enhancing inventions for mankind, Dr. Flanagan considers Microhydrin ® to be his most significant discovery to date.
