COVID-19 Food Safety/Lava Gel's Solution

The Challenge: During these times of great dislocations and stress from the global health crisis associated with the Coronavirus (COVID-19), feeding doctors, nurses and our increased patient load safely, within code and on time are among your highest priorities. The increased demands on your food preparation and delivery will cause unexpected failures, shortages of equipment or restrictions on open flame. People will contract food-borne illness from inadequate foodservice infrastructure.   

The Solution: We need to have a “PLAN B” that is safe , simple, reliable and fast to implement, requires NO electricity and is powered by water and sustainable natural minerals to make safe heat. H°EATS® for-healthcare-pads by Lava Gel® yields an amazing 2 HOURS of flameless heat and is our “PLAN B” in response to unprecedented demand, need for mobility, flexibility and the ability to safely feed the victims of this virus in tents, remote field operations and overflow campuses.

Food-borne illness is cause by bacterial growth. The FDA designates the temperature between 140° F (60° C) and 40°F (4°C) as the DANGER ZONE. Unfortunately, the demands of transporting food and feeding patients in remote acute-care field tents has caused this death zone to endanger many doctors, healthcare workers and patients. This is a global danger. The traditional heating methods of electric appliances or canned alcohol cannot be used in transportation or where electricity is scarce and flames are banned such as in oxygen-enriched tents with people having respiratory failure.

With millions of people afflicted world-wide by COVID-19 and other illnesses, the demands on healthcare foodservice providers to serve hot, and specifically safe food is unprecedented and systems are overwhelmed.

Lava Gel Technologies provides Lava Gel®, a patented technology which is a composition of natural minerals that when hydrated produces safe, exothermic heat-mineral energy which effectively heats . 

Our H°EATS® Pads are Powered By Lava Gel, activated by cool water by simply wetting the pads.

The Natural Mineral Energy is released at a controlled rate, keeping food out of the DANGER ZONE for hours after leaving the kitchen.

Now safe, hot food can be safely served to millions of patients worldwide simply by placing the food on a H°EATS pad during transport, storage and feeding.

H°EATS Pads continue to generate mineral heat for hours in any weather condition, at any altitude, (since it is powered by water, it is not dependent on  oxygen in the air) and under any transportation requirements as the Lava Gel cannot spill, does not need special handling and produces NO flame or dangerous toxic fumes. Most of the materials are compostable and water-soluble or plant-based, and the used product is landfill-safe.

H°EATS Pads are flexible and conform to any container, plate or bowl. They are lightweight, easily stored and require only water to activate.

This revolutionary technology is new.

This Lava Gel Technology must be quickly scaled to provide maximum life-saving results worldwide.

H°EATS  FOR HEALTHCARE / SELF-HEATING FOOD SAFETY WARMING PADS serve the needs of patients who are suffering and are hopefully in recovery from the corona virus.  Our revolutionary technology also serves doctors and staff who are valiantly working to save lives and who need healthy, safe food for nourishment and rejuvenation of both body, soul and mind. A hot meal goes a long way to helping us face our giants.

We MUST provide every single benefit we can to those in need. We MUST protect everyone we can from food-borne illness. We must do what we can with the Technology we have been given.

H°EATS Food Safety Pads are that gift.

We at Lava Gel Technologies are engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs who want to "Stand in the Gap" with the victims of COVID-19 Pandemic. We have developed H°EATS - FOR HEALTHCARE SELF-HEATING FOOD SAFETY WARMING PADS to be a game changer for overwhelmed hospitals, acute care healthcare workers and patients.

We need help to "Stand in the Gap" to scale production and distribution of this miraculous product on a global scale to fight this global pandemic.

We are willing to work as hard as our dedicated healthcare professionals.

And we are looking for like-minded agents to come alongside our efforts.

Sterno's canned alcohol has been the only solution for decades as a heat source for catering food.

Sterno is a 3000 degree invisible flame that produces carbon monoxide and Bisphenol A (BPA) fumes--and has burned down countless buildings, museums and forests. Sterno is being regulated out of existence for these dangerous reasons.

Lava Gel Technologies, LLC s innovated this flameless, safe, natural mineral-based solution for catering and food delivery. Using only water to activate and achieving a hot, yet perfect temperature to maintain food integrity, our H°EATS Pads do a better job by not overcooking the food and keeping moisture levels perfect for hours.

Lava Gel Technology is a disruptive force that will shift the paradigm into a new era of TRANSPORTABLE heat for delivery and food service without flame, electricity or appliance. 

Pizza delivery will NEVER  be the same.  Our granted USA Trademark tells it all, 

JUST ADD WATER. FEEL THE HEAT.®

Lava Gel harnesses the power of the atomic forces found in molecules which are inherent in natural minerals. Actually, the energy released by adding water to our Lava Gel, a dry powder composition and making an exothermic gel is ELECTRIC in nature! At the molecular level, water has a dipole moment, an electric charge. This makes water the "great solvent" with the ability to aggressively dissolve many substances.

We control this "power of water" to react with certain minerals--of which we hold multiple global patents on the processing methods and combinations. We charge our natural minerals with energy with a proprietary process, making microscopic "Galvanic Cells". Imagine a fully charged battery. If you place a wire across the terminals, electrons will flow violently from cathode to anode to satisfy their electric potential and the wire conductor will glow red hot!

We utilize water as the conductor, within the matrix of a gel, and we "short-out" the galvanic cells to produce heat, which we immediate "store" in the water-based gel using the amazing "Specific-Heat Quotient" of water as an Energy Storage Medium, or Lava Gel. 

It is a symbiotic relationship between our water-based gel and the minerals, to make heat and store heat for use in warming anything, anywhere. It is programmable heat derived from cool water! It is truly a game-changer and is covered by over 90 Patents worldwide.

As the inventor of Lava Gel, I solved a problem that has long plagued the medical, military, pharma and beauty industries--the need for a  safe, controllable heat that was non-toxic and easy to activate. Traditional means were bulky, depended on electricity, and were often impossible to apply to the skin for therapeutic treatments.

I first commercialized Lava Gel as a beauty treatment in the year 2006. It was an award winning break-though technology. I produced a beauty product for "Bath and Body Works", a beauty and CPG retailer in the United States  which was sold in over 1600 stores and helped millions of people feel and look younger. It has been used in over 4000 spas world-wide for aesthetic treatments. It is safe, affordable and fun. 

I recently turned my attention to the food space, where everyone in the world needs a safe hot meal for nourishment.

I developed Lava Gel Technologies and licensed the patents related to foodservice. We are in commerce, selling the H°EATS Pads both commercially and in retail.

With the global Pandemic of COVID-19 I seek to rapidly scale the manufacturing and deployment world-wide to help save lives.

Our solution is simple... to bring Hot, Safe food to a populace in grave need in a time of crisis. 

This is our way of helping, and has it great impact. There are a many elements that we as a world populace need, and a few core embodiments are Shelter, Safety and Nourishing Food.

Our technology impacts 2 out of the 3 basic needs by providing a safe, hot, nourishing meal, and we hope we affect the soul of a person by showing we care as a hot meal helps sooth nerves and provide encouragement.

I could try to impress you with a great philosophical mosaic of thoughts and ideas, but i will leave this with you. I and my team are trying to help this world in a time of great need. I am now headed back to the lab to improve the manufacturing capabilities of this emerging technology to make it easier to get H°EATS Pads into the hands of as many people as possible.

We currently serve thousands.

We will be serving millions by year end.

In 5 years we will be on every continent serving a billion people.

Our goals are to replicate our manufacturing and distribution models around the globe.

Lava Gel can be manufactured under license and used to help improve lives around the world. 

Our only hurdle that we can foresee right now is financial. 

Honestly'

Regulatory is on our side. 

We fit a sustainable model, we lower carbon footprints.

We fit a changing global society where food is ordered on an app and needs to be delivered hot and fresh.

We have almost 2 decades of global patent protection ahead of us.

It is simple....We seek financial partnership.

25 people operate to produce and sell Lava Gel

We have a combined 125 years of experience in problem solving of life-threatening issues within our C level team.

As Founder, I have started 10 companies based on Intellectual Property development. as well as manufacturing, sales and marketing.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency once sent me a "thank you" letter stating that over 10,000 people had NOT died of sanitation-related diseases worldwide because of one of my sanitation and hygiene inventions (which I had commercialized and they have deployed for  20 years now) called Brief Relief and Disposa-John for human waste management during disasters.

Using that innovative platform, Our team has developed the H°EATS FOR HEALTHCARE Food Safety Pads for use in disasters and every day needs.

We are currently working with the Military, FEMA and other NGO's to get the message out about Lava Gel and the solutions it provides.

Lava Gel Technologies, LLC  (LGT) is actively engaged in pursuit of service in the form of a "for-profit" organization dedicated to bringing safe, affordable, sustainable mineral-energy technology to diverse groups of people and industry categories. Everyone deserves a safe, hot meal, free from the dangers of open-flame and the poisonous fumes of Sterno-style gelled alcohol cans and the like.

LGT desires to provide a solution in the current COVID-19 pandemic by providing self-heating mineral pads (activated simply by cold water) to foodservice providers and to restaurants and caterers who can keep people healthy and prevent the spread of food-borne illness.

Lava Gel Technologies LLC has been initially financed through seed money by strategic investors from the food service channel and private investment. Marketing and Sales have begun and the revenues are beginning to come in. The desire is to scale quickly through grant and investment to serve the needs of this global pandemic and to sustain growth through increasing revenues in the aftermath by providing unique and patented products which keep food hot and safe through delivery, staging and serving for hours of safe food consumption.

Our hurdle to helping prevent food-borne illness and to help nourish people with hot, safe meals is really a barrier of messaging. Lava Gel's scientists and engineers have developed the world's first safe, controllable mineral energy source, Lava Gel® which is powered by simply adding cold water to a self-heating pad, it is now a proven, safe and effective solution.

But the real problem lies in communicating that we have this solution to many of the world's population as related to food preparation, handling and transportation in a safe manner, above the FDA's "Danger Zone" temperature range foe hours after it leaves the oven.

Lava Gel Technologies' mission is to educate and then provide a means for heating food that is flame-free, safe and super easy. One of our trademarks is, "JUST ADD WATER. FEEL THE HEAT.® 

In this time of healthcare crisis and the resulting evolution of restaurants and food service markets, Lava Gel is ready to Stand in the Gap and provide real solutions to real problems that we are facing.

Lava Gel is a group of talented entrepreneurs with a combined 120 years of successful experience and track records, but we realize that we only know what we know... and that we don't know what we don't know... 

Ego is not a barrier; mutual success in our mission is the goal.

We welcome any and all expertise from those who share our passion and focus.

Of course, MIT has the reputation as being the world's foremost problem solver, we would welcome anyone associated with this great force in the world.

The focus of this application has been to make people aware of our solution for the betterment of the health and safety of all people who consume food. This is a rather large segment...but to be laser-focused, our h°eats line of self-heating technology which is Powered By Lava Gel® will save lives around the globe and cause a better quality of life for all who enjoy a safe, hot meal in times of need like the present... and the coming future changes.
