Roy
F. Brabham,
MD – Chairman, Health Advisory Board
Dr. Brabham attended
Rice
University
from 1968 – 1971, and then left without a degree when he was accepted to
medical school. He graduated from LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport
in 1975 and did his residency in General Surgery at University of
Wisconsin Hospitals in Madison, WI, from 1975 – 1980 followed by a
fellowship in General Surgery at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in
Gloucester, England, from 1980 – 1981. This threw him out of phase with
the calendar year for medical training in the US, so he spent 10 months
doing ER work in
Louisiana upon his return to the
US. Dr. Brabham
subsequently did a residency in Plastic Surgery at the University of
Wisconsin Hospitals from 1982 – 1984 and was certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery.
While establishing his private practice in Baton Rouge, LA
from 1984 through 2003, he helped found Eduplast, a non-profit
foundation dedicated to providing resources and training in plastic
surgery and other medical disciplines to underdeveloped areas of the
world. In his capacity as a board member of Eduplast, Dr. Brabham has
made nearly 30 working trips to Nicaragua since 1991. He has also
participated in educational activities in Mexico, Honduras, Ecuador,
Cuba, and Tibet.
His interest in alternative approaches to wellness stems from
personal experiences with health issues in his family. Dr. Brabham's
father spent his last 5 years of life as a “cardiac cripple” and his
youngest brother died unexpectedly at age 45. Looking to avoid such
things himself, he began to explore approaches outside traditional
medicine, which didn’t have answers for his father or brother. He was
amazed to discover how much was there, along with supportive research,
since he had not been exposed to any of this (other than to discredit
these approaches) during his extensive medical training.
A set of circumstances for the company led him to put his
medical practice on hold and come to work full-time in the corporate
offices in Owensboro in June of 2003. He has been working on product
and literature development, and is truly enjoying everything about his
work activities for the first time in years.

Mr. Josling established The Garlic Information Centre in 1994
to serve as an independent source of information about the medicinal,
culinary and general qualities of garlic. The Centre also advises
companies, research establishments, government agencies and the press
and media. In 1997 they formed a specialty chemicals division to
provide key garlic components, including alliin, allicin and ajoene, for
research and product formulation. The Centre offers analytical services
for quantitative determination of garlic-derived chemical contained
within any medium. Recently Mr. Josling led a team of Chemists and
Chemical Engineers in the invention, development and manufacture of the
world’s first commercially available stabilized allicin extract. The
method of manufacture and the application of allicin as a broad-spectrum
antimicrobial agent are patent pending.

Malvina G. Scott, R.N. – Health Advisory Board Member
Malvina G. Scott is a registered nurse from Columbia, South
Carolina, and has been involved in the care of patients in the field of
coronary care nursing for 15 years. She received her bachelor's degree
in nursing from the University of South Carolina. She has been
associated with Velocity's parent company, Scalar Core International for

calling that caused her to pursue nursing as a career. She believes it
was also this calling that led her to Velocity.
Malvina’s interest in Herbal and natural health products

had suffered for years. Only by resorting to herbal and other natural
products was she able to find any relief for her allergies. Malvina has
acquired a great deal of knowledge about natural alternative health
options and Velocity International Marketing. |
