3.We note your disclosure that Mr. Williams is the "sole inventor of TELOMIR-1" and
that his work on TELOMIR-1 "began in late 2020." We also note your citation to a study
conducted by Donald R. Burgess in 2004, which appears to compare the structure of
TELOMIR-1 with iron. Please reconcile this disclosure, or otherwise advise.
Capitalization, page 41
4.We note your capitalization table includes "other liabilities," which consists of “trade
accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and “accrued interest.” Since “trade accounts
payable and accrued liabilities” are current liabilities and are not part of your capital
structure, please remove these line items from your table.

no corresponding information. Please delete or otherwise advise.

6.We note your response to prior comment 10. We reissue our comment in full. We
continue to note your disclosure that "[y]our pre-clinical studies demonstrate that
TELOMIR-1 may uniquely and selectively bind critical metals to interrupt enzyme
function . . . and turn off the underlying cause of cancer development and growth." Please
revise your disclosure here, and elsewhere as appropriate, to remove the implication that
your product is safe or effective as such conclusions are within the sole authority of the
FDA and comparable foreign regulators.
