| VANCOUVER, British Columbia, /PRNewswire/ -- Abattis Bioceuticals Corp (the “Company” or “Abattis”) (CSE:ATT) (OTC:ATTBF) is pleased to announce its first proprietary product, Comfort, which has been produced through wholly owned subsidiary Vergence Naturals (“Vergence”). Abattis has teamed up with respected naturopathic doctor and nutraceuticals product developer Dr. Brazos Minshew to launch Comfort, a breakthrough nutraceutical combining traditional herbal remedies to safely and effectively address occasional pain. Released on Cyber Monday and set for introduction into the US and Canada in December 2018, the Comfort product is 100% owned by Vergence, and will be marketed under the newly-formed health and wellness brand. Comfort offers a unique combination of phytocannabinoids from non-cannabis sources to safely and effectively address occasional pain. Dr. Minshew currently serves as President of Abattis’ Medical Advisory Board. For thousands of years plants have been used in medicine to reduce occasional pain. For example, Aspirin is derived from White Willow Bark, and morphine is derived from plants in the poppy species. Following this trend, cannabinoids from marijuana have been used by progressive physicians to successfully treat pain. Scientists have identified cannabinoids in many non-cannabis plants, such as hops, turmeric and cocoa which yield full-functional health benefits. Comfort by Vergence (www.comfortbyvergence.com) uniquely blends five non-cannabis plants used to reduce occasional pain by interacting with cannabis receptors in the brain without any cannabis side effects. Dr. Minshew and Abattis successfully combined five phytocannabinoids to create Comfort, including: - Turmeric phytocannabinoids and terpenes to support a healthy inflammatory response without the side effects of cannabis. Curcumin from turmeric powerfully activates cannabis receptors for relief of occasional pain. 1 - Ginger phytocannabinoids and terpenes to support a healthy COX-2 inflammatory response, balance leukotrienes and quiet certain genes associated with pain.2 - Kaemfera galangal phytocannabinoids and terpenes to inhibit pain from multiple pathways, including histamine, serotonin and bradykinin induced pain models.3 - Frankincense phytocannabinoids and terpenes to strongly inhibit occasional pain that arises from the nervous system itself (neuropathic pain). This is important because, over time, the brain pathways related to occasional pain tend to experience pain even when nothing is really wrong.4 - Red pepper phytocannabinoids and terpenes harmonize and amplify the cannabinoids of other plants. Further, pain is often worsened by obesity and obesity, in turn, may produce sensitivity to pain. Red Pepper reduces the pain process that is directly associated with obesity.5 “I am excited to join with Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. in the development and launch of Comfort and to establish Vergence as a new and innovative health-wellness manufacturing brand. Comfort uniquely blends phytocannabinoids from non-cannabis plant species to deliver safe and effective relief from occasional pain. We look forward to introducing this extraordinary remedy to adults throughout North America,” said Dr. Minshew. “Dr. Brazos Minshew has worked tirelessly throughout his distinguished career in medicine to create herbal remedies focusing on endocannabinoid and phytocannabinoid science. Comfort is the result of Dr. Minshew’s intense experience in this critically important area of wellness and we are proud to work together to introduce his latest achievement to the public,” said Abattis CEO, Rob Abenante.

His cutting-edge work in bioscience has led to the creation of life-enhancing therapies and helped expand the knowledge and understanding of Functional Medicine.
