In the realm of healthcare and energy, one individual stands out for their groundbreaking work and commitment to promoting holistic wellness and vitality. Meet Arziki Oleyinka Phenyo, the visionary mind behind Seminal Wellness—a platform dedicated to providing organic self-care and wellness products. Arziki is not only on a mission to redefine the healthcare landscape but is also delving into the forefront of renewable energy. In this feature, we explore Arziki’s journey, the philosophy behind Seminal Wellness, and the innovative treatments the platform offers for conditions like cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, and chronic pain. Additionally, we’ll delve into Seminal’s developments in higher-frequency atmospheric charging, aiming to revolutionize the energy sector.
Q1. What motivated you to establish Seminal Wellness, and how has the platform evolved since its inception?
The impetus for Seminal Wellness was the widespread supply shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic. I grew tired of seeing empty shelves at grocery and drug stores, waiting desperately for everything from health to beauty products, week after week. After a couple of months, I thought, “You could probably make some of these on your own.” I began researching formulas, creating my own formulations, and considering means of production. The focus was developing versatile, organic products that were of the highest quality and optimal for a variety of demographics. I found others—now part of our small, but productive team—that shared the same goal. We began with beauty—initially, LeLix, a conditioning rinse that shampoos and conditions simultaneously, along with other hair and skin products—and transitioned to health and wellness, including our Poten-C and PotenSeed detoxifiers, which may be used to treat certain kidney and blood cancers, respectively. A renal-cell-carcinoma (RCC) patient, taking Poten-C for the last two months, has not experienced cancer spread at the time of this interview, and a myeloma patient, taking PotenSeed, was off dialysis, and in remission, in less than three months. Seminal now offers over 40 products across the health, wellness, and beauty spaces, and will also expand into renewables.
Q2. How do your products differentiate themselves in the market, considering the emphasis on organic and eco-friendly options?
Other companies provide organic and eco-friendly options; but, what makes Seminal different is our commitment to wellness, versatility, and the individual with each product. Our products don’t contain synthetics, ensuring that you can use all our products safely, without the risk of side effects, only promoting your wellbeing. Additionally, our products are versatile, optimal across complexions, ethnicities, and health needs. I mentioned LeLix, our dual shampoo and conditioner. We also have Kinai, our skin lotion and leave-in conditioner. Our detox products—Poten-C, PotenSeed, and the Purifier—have not only lowered blood pressure and cholesterol, but have also treated type-2 diabetes. Moreover, our products are gender- and ethnicity-neutral—exceptional offerings offer the best to everyone, transcending social constructs—and are customizable to specific needs. We are also green from production to package. We minimize energy use in our production, creating batches according to precise demand schedules, and are working to achieve net zero by 2028. Additionally, all our products are packaged in recyclable material. All Seminal’s offerings reflect our commitment to people, principle, and the planet.
Q.3 Seminal Wellness addresses various health conditions. Can you elaborate on the treatments and solutions offered for cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, and chronic pain?
Regarding cancer, we have our detoxifiers Poten-C and PotenSeed that may treat kidney cancers and blood cancers, respectively. PotenSeed lowers cholesterol and treats type-2 diabetes, eliminating the condition in one patient. Optimet, which regulates metabolism, facilitates weight loss and lowers blood sugar, decreasing risk of chronic disease. One of our newest offerings, Cayecin, is a general pain reliever that is just as effective as ibuprofen, with pain relief beginning within 15 minutes for some individuals. Again, these, and all Seminal’s products, are organic, without the risk of side effects.
Q.4 Your aim explores a unique perspective on cancer treatment, focusing on adaptogens, exercise, and mental health. What inspired this holistic approach?
Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in health, curious about dietary and lifestyle behaviors that maximize wellbeing and performance. I’ve been especially interested in homeopathic, holistic approaches as I have witnessed relatives, suffering from chronic diseases, struggle with side effects from their medications. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. and Canada behind heart disease, cancer, and stroke. I knew there had to be a better way. After conducting research for Poten-C, we found that there’s evidence for the effectiveness of adaptogens—active ingredients in plants and fungi that influence the body’s responds to stress, anxiety, and fatigue—exclusively, or alongside chemotherapy, in reducing cancer growth and metastasis. We found that your own body—through a diet and lifestyle that optimize physiology—is truly the best cancer cure. Seminal advances a whole-body approach—physical, mental, and emotional—knowing that these facets are symbiotic, contributing interdependently to overall wellbeing. Poten-C, our cancer detoxifier, is an extension of that philosophy.
Q.5 Are there specific programs or initiatives at Seminal Wellness to support the mental health of individuals undergoing cancer treatment?
By the summer of 2024, Seminal will release diet, wellness, and exercise plans that support cancer patients. We’ll provide recipes and meal plans according to what we have termed the BLAST (burning fat, longevity, activated energy, sustained weight-loss, and tailored reflection) diet, a customized approach informed by the Mediterranean, Paleo, and Sirtfood diets. We’ll also provide exercise plans, centered on strength-training and cardio, which will spur cell growth and repair. Additionally, we’ll have practical guides for meditation and focused reflection—lasting two to 30 minutes per session—that can be performed at any time, even during the workday, that will help cancer patients stay balanced, connected, and determined through their battles. These resources will initially be available on our website, seminalwellness.com, and later in a book.
Q.6 What future directions do you envision for Seminal Wellness, both in the wellness and energy sectors?
We’re expanding treatments to other conditions. En-Neu, our neurological treatment, may alleviate multiple-sclerosis symptoms. Symwire—developed for cognitive resilience and neuronic transmission—may relieve Parkinson’s symptoms. Sheath—our myelination enhancer—facilitates movement and may mitigate the impacts of ALS. Reflow is our treatment for Sjörgen’s Syndrome. As mentioned, Seminal will expand into renewables. In the summer of 2023, we developed an introductory prototype that generated higher-frequency energy—namely, gamma—of up to 6 V, using bananas, sunflower seeds, and other organic materials. We believe this mixture can serve as a base for energy cells and nodes that could power devices and equipment, including vehicles, through atmospheric charging—charging simply through exposure. These nodes would concentrate higher-frequency energy and continually transport it to objects in the vicinity, enabling perpetual charging. We do need assistance in furthering the technology and are in the process of raising capital and expanding our team (kindly contact us if the atmospheric-charging effort is of interest). We’re planning to unveil the advanced iteration of our atmospheric-charging prototype in 2027, with a system for net-zero power ready for deployment in Seminal’s production and across industries.
