The production of Szom and the expansion of its user base to date has been made possible through your support. I sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to making Szom accessible to as many families as possible!
I am traveling to Africa to implement several initiatives:
1) Establishing a Foundation and a Manufacturing Company
I plan to establish a foundation in one of the following countries: Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania.
The foundation will support the clinical testing, evaluation, and implementation of Szom. All three countries are suitable for production due to the availability of raw materials. The final choice will depend on the legal framework, logistics, support for clinical testing, and independence from the WHO.
A manufacturing company will also be established in the same country.
2) Building a Production Facility for Szom Products
The facility, which will produce, package, and distribute the Szom product line, will be built with renewed, short-term support from current Szom consumers.
Planned production areas include:
Distillery
Plant oil distillation
Fruit and mushroom drying (since fruit trees do not freeze near the equator, drying can continue year-round)
Confectionery production – dried fruit infused with Szom herbal oils, coated in chocolate, providing children with the active ingredients of Szom alcohol-free. Based on my experience, these are beneficial for tonsillitis, diphtheria, cough, and respiratory illnesses observed during the pandemic. They are also suitable for Muslim consumers as they are alcohol-free.
Cosmetics production from organic, chemical-free raw materials
I plan to build the facility using equipment from Hagyó Ltd., suitable for distilling brandy, gin, and essential oils, as well as producing medical disinfectants, which were in high demand during the pandemic. Hagyó Ltd. currently has no representation in Africa, so we could fill that role. The oils can also be applied topically, allowing absorption through the skin. For patients on ventilators who cannot ingest tinctures, these herbal oils can be applied externally. The product line can also be expanded with exotic African essential oils, which are lightweight yet high-value, making air transport cost-effective.
3) Herbal and Agricultural Trade
Export of green coffee beans from Uganda to the global market by ship
Export of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) from Uganda by sea or air
Export of spices and medicinal herbs from Uganda to the global market
Ganoderma grows better in Uganda than in Hungarian oak forests. When cultivated, it can sell for approximately USD 200 per kilogram in Hungary.
Cocoa flavonoids have the ability to bind spike proteins.
Dried medicinal mushrooms, such as Ganoderma, contain germanium, which inhibits platelet aggregation, improves blood oxygen saturation, and supports circulation. Based on my experience, these mushrooms are highly beneficial for recovering from post-COVID symptoms and vaccine side effects. Once confirmed by clinical trials, this can be indicated on the product label.
As over 6,000 families used Szom during the pandemic, I plan to produce 20,000 units of the Szom herbal blend, with each family receiving an average of 2–5 packs. Previous supporters who contributed during the pandemic will retain at least two registration opportunities each, with a maximum of 20 per person. If registrations do not reach 20,000 by the deadline, remaining units will be allocated via referral rights on the future Szom online platform.
Those who support the foundation with donations during the promotional period will receive:
One 300 g pack of the Hungarian "vírTus" bitter herbal tincture blend for every HUF 10,000 (EUR 25) donated
Participation in a points-based profit-sharing system, earning points from the production and commercial profits of the new facility. These points can be redeemed for a variety of products, including:
Sauna oils
Aromatherapy or massage oils
Szom tinctures
Bonbons
Mosquito repellents
Malaria remedies
Natural, eco-friendly cosmetics
In the second phase, participants can share referral links to the online store. Purchases made via these links will also generate points, which can be redeemed or traded internally, along with referral rights.
May God bless all those who have supported me so far! I continue to count on your support — I will not involve multinational corporations.
We, the Hungarian people, can achieve anything through unity for the benefit of all.
Best regards,
Tamás Remetei
