NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VerdePharmHealth today announced the signing of an exclusive national agreement with HAI Health for the HealthyDose product line formulated by a highly respected oncologist, Dr. Alberto Bessudo.

“There is growing evidence that medical cannabis may be effective in helping patients manage certain types of cancers at various stages, in conjunction with and as an alternative to traditional medical treatments. Medical cannabis may also be effective in managing the side effects of cancer therapies and the symptoms of the disease. Unfortunately, most people wait too long after diagnosis to begin cannabis therapies. They begin looking for alternative therapy when conventional treatments haven’t worked, and the disease is already advanced, sometimes with a terminal diagnosis,” said Dr. Alberto Bessudo, founder & chief executive officer at HAI Health. “After careful consideration and diligence, we selected VerdePharmHealth given our alignment of mission and values for patient care, their solid commitment towards innovation in integrative medicine, and robust offering to healthcare providers and their patients.”

“Dr. Alberto Bessudo has been on the cutting edge of medicinal cannabis in patient care, developing integrative plans with cannabinoids targeted towards specific symptoms, without the numerous side effects of conventional pharmaceuticals and procedures. Dr. Bessudo and his team have designed synergistic formulations, which are comprised of curated ingredients that are specifically designed to work and support the body’s own functions and accelerate health,” said Dr, Ralph Boccia, oncologist, board member, & medical director at VerdePharmHealth. “As part of their ongoing commitment to quality medical cannabis products, the ingredients are grown without pesticides or herbicides, and several in the product line are organic. Furthermore, several tests are conducted, including testing for heavy metals, pesticides, mold and yeast, microbes, and cannabinoid potency, instilling a higher level of confidence for our provider member network and their patients.”

Both companies will further partner around systematic, structured real-world observational studies to better understand and improve the appropriate use of cannabinoids, support cost of care, improve quality of life, and treatment optimization paradigms, with HealthyDose Clinical Premium product made available through HAI Health and the clinical research platform and services, decision-support tools, patient engagement app, and data analytics provided by VerdePharmHealth.
