Patent – Bioelectric Blood Pressure Management
A patent # US1167141B2 for bioelectric blood pressure management was issued to Leonhardt Ventures LLC, inventor Howard J. Leonhardt. Abstract: Described are a system and method that utilize bioelectric signaling to balance electrical potentials in a subject’s body via neuro-hormonal circuit loops, to increase elasticity of the subject’s arteries to promote protein release to dampen arterial blood pressure, and to change arterial electrical charges to reduce narrowing of the arteries. The described system is designed to localize and stimulate the fibers inside the vagus nerve without inadvertent stimulation of non-baroreceptive fibers causing side effects like bradycardia and bradypnea. The system also controls release of specific proteins known to lower blood pressures including tropoelastin (known to increase elasticity in the aorta and other peripheral blood vessels).https://patents.google.com/patent/US11167141B2/en

6. BreatheStim www.breathestim.com and ArchStim www.archstim.comworking via StimCore www.stimcoremd.com We have completed a number of successful clinical evaluation cases to improve breathing and are preparing to submit for IRB approval for a full-scale clinical study. We hold multiple patent claims issued and pending.
7. ImplantStim www.implantstim.com – A series of successful clinical evaluation cases were completed and we are preparing to submit for IRB approval for a full-scale clinical study for accelerated dental implant healing.
8. KlothoYears www.klothoyears.com – A beta program for Klotho level blood tests was launched. Approximately 20 klotho tests have been processed in studies to date and more are in process. We are working out the logistics for U.S. blood draws, specimen processing, and transportation to certified testing laboratories.

To date, nearly 3,000 papers have been published on Klotho describing its relationship to aging-related disorders. A sampling of published papers can be found on our website https://klothoyears.com/scientific-articles/
Sales and Distribution
Leonhardt Ventures LLC is exploring various sales and distribution channels to launch SkinStim, HairCell, BodStim, ErectiStim by MyoStim ED, DepressiStim, and OrthoStim into the markets of North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand once a clear regulatory path is set. This includes a campaign being developed to reach MedSpas (skin, hair, body toning), Sports Medicine/Physical Therapy Clinics, and later Mental Health Clinics by Lionheart Health, Inc. a sales and distribution focused startup within the Leonhardt Ventures LLC family. Lionheart Health, Inc. is raising capital with intent for 75% of capital raised over the next 3 years to go to support sales launches activities for these products at no dilution to SkinStim, HairCell, BodStim, DepressiStim, OrthoStim and MyoStim ED current shareholders and 25% of proceeds will be used to purchase ownership stakes at market prices in these product suppliers.
