Elements 4 Nature reorganizes due to weak product sales in 2011. The company has an aggressive plan to increase
product sales sold on their web site and in stores going forward according to Jon Adkins founder and President of the company.
“I am confident in the moves that were made in 2011 will have a positive impact in the coming months towards increasing
product sales,” said Jon. In 2011, the company replaced all old labels related to the Carver products with colorful
store ready labels. The company implemented today user friendly enhancements on their web site and reduced shipping
charges as well to make it more conducive for customers to order products on-line. The company also made structural
changes related to the ownership makeup of the company. The company announced that Yasir Khalid will no longer be part
owner of the company due mainly to weak product sales. Yasir, the creator of the Carver Travel Exhibit and founder of Medina
Natural will still be part of the company but not at an ownership capacity.

In November
2007, Jon Adkins and Yasir Khalid obtained the exclusive rights to the Dr. George Washington Carver and Dr. A.W. Curtis
products by signing a deal with Natural Health Options (NHO), which owns the exclusive rights
to all of Dr. George Washington Carver and Dr. A.W. Curtis products. The former Tuskegee
University roommates signed the deal for a significant number of years. The specific length of time
was not disclosed. The deal involves them producing, marketing, and selling up to six Dr. Carver &
Dr. A.W. Curtis products. NHO will continue to own and manufacture the most popular
Dr. Carver Rubbing Oil and the Dr. Carver & Dr. A.W. Curtis Sage & Sulfur Hair Conditioner. "This
deal will benefit both parties," said Jon Adkins, the founder of E4N. “It allows
us to produce, market, and sell products invented by the greatest revolutionary scientists of our time. Having
graduated from Tuskegee is an extra incentive for me to continue the tradition and legacy of Dr. Carver and his assistant
Dr. A.W. Curtis.” Dr. E. Faye Williams, the president and CEO of NHO, agrees.
"Dr. Carver's work has been extremely important, not only to the Black community, but to the world. We are delighted
to have someone with a Tuskegee connection to help us in carrying on Dr. Carver's work".

Elements 4 Nature Releases
Facts on Carver |

Elements 4 Nature Staff Writers October

The
Facts on Carver
DVD produced by Elements 4 Nature (E4N) was released on October 8, 2010.
What's so significant about this particular DVD release is that most of George Washington Carver's books and DVDs were
written and produced by Europeans. However, this particular DVD was produced by E4N. The Facts on
Carver DVD is no Hollywood production, however, it is a good solid DVD that has a lot of historical and factual information
concerning Carver's work while at Tuskegee. “The Facts on Carver DVD is a film that we did while promoting Carver
based products at Tuskegee’s homecoming in 2008. The spirit, lead and guided us from conception to production
to do this project because we had no intentions on producing a film on Carver before arriving on Tuskegee’s campus
in 2008. The Facts on Carver DVD brings out some interesting facts on Carver that is not presented in a DVD format any
where else. For instance, Carver paint processes that he used to make paint out of dirt or clay from Tuskegee’s
soil were the same paint processes that the Ancient Egyptians
used that have never been reproduced until Carver reproduced it,” said Jon Adkins,
the founder of Element 4 Nature.
Yasir Khalid,
who is the founder of Medinia Natural, answers all of
the questions asked by Jon Adkins on Carver's life at Tuskegee in this DVD. "We are very excited about the
release of this DVD. This is our small contribution in trying to keep alive and expand the legacy of George Washington
Carver. We realize that it would be virtually impossible to cover the vast contributions & impact that Dr.
Carver made in one video, however in this film our intent is to highlight the discoveries and contributions that seemed dearest
to him," said Yasir Khalid.
The October 8th release date coincided
with the date that George Washington Carver arrived on Tuskegee's campus thus starting his important work in producing so
many products from the peanut. The Facts on Carver DVD
is available to purchase exclusively on the Elements 4 Nature.
