#Cannabis Stock News: Jenex (TSXV: $JEN.H) to Test TherOZap(TM) Working Prototype and Topical Cannabidiol Oil Against the Zika and West Nile Viruses


Toronto, Ontario - April 18, 2017 (Newsfile Corp.) (Investorideas.com Newswire) NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES- The Jenex Corporation (TSXV: JEN.H) ("Jenex" or the "Company"), a progressive medical device technology company, would like to report the testing of a topical cannabidiol ("CBD") oil from hemp with Jenex's platform technology, including Jenex's TherOZap™ device. The topical cannabidiol oil will be included in the lab tests, to be conducted through University Health Network and coordinated through Techna Institute at UHN located in Toronto, Ontario, to determine the effectiveness at inactivating both the Zika and West Nile viruses as previously announced on April 7th, 2017.
There is a growing body of clinical research demonstrating CBD's potential therapeutic uses against viruses. The clinical research is revealing and is demonstrating that CBD can have positive health effects as CBD increases nitric oxide levels in the human body which may prove to be an effective treatment to combat viral infections such as the Zika and West Nile viruses. There are high levels of CBD in hemp but almost no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component that is prevalent in cannabis.
Jenex will work with partners in the medical marijuana industry to license a topical CBD oil or working through formulators Jenex will create its own topical CBD oil to be used with the TherOZap™ device. Several natural health products in topical formulations with unique delivery systems could be developed.
Rob Fia, CEO commented:
"We are excited to test our platform technology, including our TherOZap™ device, with a topical cannabidiol oil. Our platform technology combined with a unique CBD topical delivery system may prove beneficial in potentially combating the increasingly troublesome Zika virus problem now affecting many parts of the world."
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT TO THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUSINESS
The Company plans to continue its principal business of developing its consumer product platform technology. The Company's pursuit of the use of hemp oil with CBD is supplementary to the consumer product platform technology business it is currently engaged in. The board of directors have approved the Company's testing of hemp oil with CBD and to the Company's knowledge, this is the only approval required for the Company's pursuit of opportunities to test hemp oil with CBD with its platform technology. There are risks and uncertainties inherent to the medical marijuana businesses and it should be noted that the Company does not intend to acquire a medical marijuana license.
Jenex received a Class II medical device status from the FDA for its platform technology that is indicated for the relief of the pain, itch, and inflammation from over 20,000 different insect stings and bites, (including bees, wasps, hornets, mosquitoes, black flies and jellyfish). Jenex received approval for the above claims from FDA (United States) in 1997.
Jenex continues to further develop, and explore other applications, for its platform technology. If you would like to stay informed on the development of TherOZap™ please visit www.therozap.com.

  1. I started chewing Blessed CBD gummies UK when my dad got sick. I was very worried, and I could not come to terms with this fact. A friend advised him to drink a course of CBD oil. And after a few days I began to notice changes. He felt much better, began to sleep better, and a good mood appeared in the morning!
