NMS Consulting Helps Push Alternatives to Synthetic Pesticides

As a managing partner in the investment firm of NMS Consulting in Beverly Hills, Trevor M. Saliba deals with clients around the world. Under Trevor Saliba’s guidance, the firm conducted extensive research into the organic pest control industry to help a firm called Med-X position itself in the market.

Med-X has expressed concerns that powerful multinational companies influence government regulators to declare their products safe for the public. Med-X asserts that the makers of pesticides fall into this category and sometimes knowingly market unsafe products.

Research has shown that pesticides and other chemicals have infiltrated the water supplies of many citizens. Researchers claim ingesting these substances is linked to problems in the human reproductive system, cancer, asthma, and Parkinson’s disease.

As an alternative, Med-X markets plant-based substances that solve the same problems pesticides are meant to fix. Its products are distributed by many healthcare retailers to the public, who studies show will pay more for a green product. Because of these potential sales and Med-X's strong interest in lean manufacturing principles, the company promises to provide a good return on investment.
