LAS VEGAS, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- JanOne, Inc.
(NASDAQ: JAN), a newly launched initiative with the focused intent
of offering innovative, actionable solutions to end the opioid
crisis, is proud to name host of America This Week and
financial commentator Eric Bolling
as its President and Chairman.
As one personally affected by the opioid scourge, Bolling has
dedicated himself to fighting the opioid epidemic by executing the
mission of JanOne: To help to end the opioid crisis by, among other
things, developing revolutionary pain medications to replace
today's highly addictive and often fatal opioids.
"I am elated to become part of JanOne and to help fulfill the
mission of developing alternative, non-opioid pain drugs," Bolling
said. "I'm drawn into this challenge—and passionately dedicated to
it—by my determination not to see another father bury a child due
to opioid overdose, as I have done. JanOne plans to bring to market
a much-needed, non-opioid and non-addictive pain drug to meet the
demands of a $60 billion a year
market."
"Once our goals are achieved, doctors worldwide will be able to
safely prescribe pain medications without the risks we see with the
drugs of today. We are hoping this will lead to significant
declines in people who get addicted and a significant reduction in
deaths."
Bolling explained that the company "is currently in discussion
with several potential partners, including universities and various
corporations, regarding development and marketing of non-opioid
pain drugs." He added, "Our goal is to develop medications that
kill pain, not people."
About Eric Bolling
After a successful career as a commodities trader, Bolling moved
into media as a rising television personality. He helped to develop
CNBC's Fast Money, hosted Fox Business Channel's Cashin'
In, and was co-host of The Five and of Fox News
Specialists. His New York
Times best seller Wake Up America was published
in 2016. Today, in addition to his executive leadership of JanOne,
Eric remains engaged in political and social issues as host of
America This Week on Sinclair Broadcasting and as host
of AMericA on Blaze TV.
These accomplishments are backdrop to Bolling's passion for
tacking the opioid crisis. On a terrible night in 2017, he and his
wife Adrienne learned by phone that their only son, Eric Chase, a University of
Colorado sophomore, had fallen victim to a Xanax tablet
laced with the deadly opioid fentanyl. That call destroyed a
family's happiness—but also kindled a craving to extract meaning
from personal grief. As a tribute to his son, Bolling established
The Eric Chase Foundation to educate the world about the opioid
crisis and to lobby for preventive and treatment measures. His
personal commitment to ending the crisis motivates his taking on
executive responsibilities at JanOne, which was founded to develop
non-opioid pain medications.
