Welcome to SUM Information. ​

​

One of the world's greatest living scientists, Dr. Robert Sievers, invented the CAN-B Bubble Drying process to efficiently administer low-melting-point pharmaceutical ingredients to the bloodstream. Dr. Sievers created this innovation through a $20M grant from NIH, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to revolutionize how the measles vaccine was administered in India and Africa. Vaccines for diseases like measles are cold-chain liquid drugs that have to remain refrigerated and administrated with needles. Of course, in hot environments, there is a lot of spoilage. And needles are often improperly discarded, spreading other diseases. 

 

Through unique particle morphology, Dr. Sievers created his bubble drying process to turn the oils into inhalable dry powder. With no need for refrigeration or needles, this breakthrough method allowed children to be vaccinated with a single in-breath. 

 

Now, years later, Dr. Sievers' research focuses on delivering cannabinoids such as CBD from dry powder inhalables and the same powder pressed into sublingual tablets that dissolve under the tongue. The mission of SUM Information is to educate the public on Dr. Sievers' work and shed light on the world of cannabinoids for wellness and the best ways to benefit from them.

This work has spawned a new category of cannabinoid microdose we like to call Superior Uptake Microdose (SUM).
