Quantum Google

[Beverly Zielonko]

In physics, a quantum (pl.: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction. Quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents. The fundamental notion that a property can be "quantized" is referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization".[1] This means that the magnitude of the physical property can take on only discrete values consisting of integer multiples of one quantum. For example, a photon is a single quantum of light of a specific frequency (or of any other form of electromagnetic radiation). Similarly, the energy of an electron bound within an atom is quantized and can exist only in certain discrete values.[2] Atoms and matter in general are stable because electrons can exist only at discrete energy levels within an atom. Quantization is one of the foundations of the much broader physics of quantum mechanics. Quantization of energy and its influence on how energy and matter interact (quantum electrodynamics) is part of the fundamental framework for understanding and describing nature.

The word quantum is the neuter singular of the Latin interrogative adjective quantus, meaning "how much". "Quanta", the neuter plural, short for "quanta of electricity" (electrons), was used in a 1902 article on the photoelectric effect by Philipp Lenard, who credited Hermann von Helmholtz for using the word in the area of electricity. However, the word quantum in general was well known before 1900,[3] e.g. quantum was used in E. A. Poe's Loss of Breath. It was often used by physicians, such as in the term quantum satis, "the amount which is enough". Both Helmholtz and Julius von Mayer were physicians as well as physicists. Helmholtz used quantum with reference to heat in his article[4] on Mayer's work, and the word quantum can be found in the formulation of the first law of thermodynamics by Mayer in his letter[5] dated July 24, 1841.

In 1901, Max Planck used quanta to mean "quanta of matter and electricity",[6] gas, and heat.[7] In 1905, in response to Planck's work and the experimental work of Lenard (who explained his results by using the term quanta of electricity), Albert Einstein suggested that radiation existed in spatially localized packets which he called "quanta of light" ("Lichtquanta").[8]

While quantization was first discovered in electromagnetic radiation, it describes a fundamental aspect of energy not just restricted to photons.[12]In the attempt to bring theory into agreement with experiment, Max Planck postulated that electromagnetic energy is absorbed or emitted in discrete packets, or quanta.[13]

We chose a different path. Our founder was committed from the start to only launch the best natural health products that were formulated from ingredients that were extensively studied using rigorous scientific research.

In 1981, our founder, David Shaw, was living in Eugene, OR and acting as the publisher of the Journal of Health Sciences, which provided education to the public on alternative treatments for a variety of health issues, from everyday ailments to serious conditions. In this role, he was able to meet and speak to a host of health practitioners who had unique approaches to human wellness and health. The more he learned, the more fascinated he became with nutrition and supplementation, and their impact on health.

In the early days of our company, David met an herbalist who had developed a revolutionary cold sore treatment based on L-lysine (lysine) and other botanical ingredients. The information she shared with David on the effectiveness of this natural health product was truly impressive, which led Quantum Health to agree to market the product under our own brand name. This was the birth of SuperLysine+ Cold Sore Ointment. Today, the SuperLysine+ brand includes the top selling cold sore treatment in the natural channel, along with SuperLysine+ tablets, which are the nations top selling lysine supplement.

More than a decade later in 1997, after achieving tremendous success with SuperLysine+ in the natural channel, we saw the opportunity to expand our cold sore ointment to grocery stores, drug stores, and mass market retailers. But, before we could launch in these channels, our product needed a face-lift so that it could have a better chance of succeeding in these highly competitive chains.

Enter Lip Clear Lysine+, our new brand marketing the same cold sore ointment that was already loved by millions. When we launched Lip Clear in 1997, we became the first natural products company to place an herbal / nutrient product in drug and grocery stores right alongside traditional over-the-counter products.

Fast forward more than 20 years, and Lip Clear Lysine + is one of the top selling cold sore treatments in the country, and the fastest growing cold sore ointment among major brands. We retained our placements in these stores because the product works, and in fact, is the only cold sore treatment that both cuts healing time in half and relieves pain.

Shortly after the launch of SuperLysine+, a revolutionary research paper was published in 1984 by Dr. George A Eby, which showed clear evidence that zinc gluconate lozenges could support the immune system when it is compromised.

Today, TheraZinc is one of the leading immune support brands in the natural channel, and is also available in many grocery stores and drug stores. In 2017, we made TheraZinc even better when we launched 2 varieties of USDA Organic TheraZinc lozenges, which are among the best tasting zinc lozenges available today. At the same time, we launched the first and only USDA Organic cough drop in two premium flavors.

Her hope was that a biological solution could win over artificial chemistry. There were studies that suggested that natural health products containing essential oils, such as citronella, could be effective at repelling mosquitoes.

David loved the idea, and got to work on what would become Buzz Away, one of the original plant based mosquito repellents sold in the natural channel. Today, our original Buzz Away formula is still sold throughout the United States in stores that sell natural products, and is one of the few plant-based repellents that is also EPA registered.

Dr. Stringham was excited about the idea of turning his research, and the research of his respected peers, into a real-world eye health supplement that could have the potential to improve the eye health of millions of people. He agreed to formulate our line of eye health products, where were launched in 2018. The line includes Macula 30+, which is formulated to promote macular health as you age, Digital Blue, which helps eyes filter high energy blue light from digital devices, and See Lutein+, which is an everyday, foundational eye health supplement at an affordable price. Our line of eye health products are sold in all of the top natural health products stores throughout the US and Canada.

In addition to the brands mentioned above, Quantum Health also sells a line of Sambucus nigra Elderberry products for immune support, MigShield, which is a supplement for cerebrovascular support, and a line of skin care and repair products.

Innovation is a part of our company soul, but not just in the products we develop and offer to our loyal consumers. In 1996, we became one of the very first natural products companies to offer natural health products online when we launched this website, quantumhealth.com. The site has operated continuously ever since, making it one of the oldest websites in the natural health products space.
