Nutra Pharma Reports Third Party Validation of Infectech's

Identikit Technology
Infectech's other patents include technologies designed for use inside the bioremediation associated
with contaminated soil and water. Nutra Pharma will continue to recognize and also acquire
intellectual property and corporations in the biotechnology arena.
Infectech owns 29 issued patents related for the rapid isolation, growth, identification along with
antibiotic sensitivity involving disease-causing bacteria that features Mycobacterium
paratuberculosis. in addition, the particular variety of organisms shed in the feces associated with
infected animals can vary greatly with time, meaning that will several attempts at fecal culture may
always be necessary prior to an infected individual is finally identified as becoming a shedder.
About Infectech, Inc.
"Dr. (OTCBB:NPHC), a new biotechnology holding organization that will owns legal rights in order to
patents and also intellectual property related for the development of drugs regarding HIV and also
Multiple Sclerosis, offers announced today that it is vast majority owned subsidiary, Infectech, Inc.
Hyman provides achieved the identification along with bacterial genetic amplification associated
with a significant strain of Mycobacteria faster than what's presently within the healthcare
literature.
"Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis could be detected significantly sooner when compared with
expected pertaining to normal culture techniques," stated Professor Hyman. The idea may be the
causative agent regarding Johne's disease (pronounced "yo-knees"), the contagious, chronic and
typically fatal infection that affects ruminants (cattle, goats and also sheep). This produces a semi-
solid growth medium for your bacteria, which in turn imitates its natural environment inside a
human or animal host. Mitchell Felder, Chief Executive Officer regarding Infectech. These kinds of
bacteria are cited as becoming a prominent trigger regarding death throughout patients using
cancer, cystic fibrosis, as well as AIDS, also as in patients undergoing surgery. the existing
diagnostic approach of preference is the bacterial culture of feces upon specialized media. Along
With Infectech's technology, sufficient DNA with regard to PCR gene amplification might be
extracted from paraffin that had absolutely no visible colonies in it, sometimes throughout as small
as you week," he concluded.
The significant problem connected with the effective charge of Johne's disease is that there are no
rapid, reliable, inexpensive assessments pertaining to identifying subclinical carrier animals.
Additionally, the actual bacteria can be cultured along with antibiotics in order to test pertaining to
specific sensitivities. This specific makes the technique of identifying and getting rid of infected
animals from the herd a new painfully slow task. the Company's minority-owned holding,
ReceptoPharm, Inc., can be creating these technologies. avium as well as Nocardia. The Actual
bacteria collect on the paraffin slide throughout 4-8 days. Your fundamental test kit consists of a
glass slide coated with paraffin, that is used as being a carbon (food) source through specific
pathogenic bacterial species like TB. Unfortunately, the causative agent, Mycobacterium
paratuberculosis is a finicky organism, is hard to cultivate in artificial media, culturing will take with
regards to 14 weeks but can just take for as long as twenty weeks pertaining to colonies to appear.
Paul Hyman of Ohio State University. testing may then be carried out to spot the species regarding
bacteria. Almost All ruminants tend to be susceptible for the disease also it is worldwide in
distribution. It as a result serves as the basis with regard to cancer therapy.
Safe Harbor under the particular Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Your statements
which in turn usually are not historical facts contained on this press launch are generally forward-
looking statements that will involve specific risks and uncertainties which includes but not limited to
risks connected using the uncertainty associated with long term economic results, regulatory
approval processes, the actual impact of competitive items or perhaps scatporn pricing,
technological changes, the result associated with economic circumstances as well as other
uncertainties as may become thorough in the Company's filings with just about all the Securities
along with Exchange Commission. "The bacterium tend to be slow-growing as well as will take
longer than fourteen weeks for you to culture utilizing the particular current accepted media. (Pink
Sheets:IFEC) offers received alternative party verification associated with its technologies simply by
Dr. after completing the are employed in two some other strains (MAI as well as Tuberculosis),
Infectech will aim to acquire regulatory approval from the FDA, bringing the actual Business to
revenues within the near future," he added.
Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is really a hardy bacteria related to the agents regarding leprosy
and also tuberculosis.
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. Infectech's researchers discovered that certain
grades associated with paraffin wax, when used in conjunction having a microscope slide, and mixed
having a nutrient broth, provides for that rapid isolation, growth along with identification regarding
numerous disease-causing bacteria. is really a biotechnology/genomics business that will is
experienced inside the research, development as well as manufacture of laboratory kits employed in
the rapid identification as well as antibiotic sensitivity screening associated with disease-causing
pathogens. "They get already validated Infectech's Identikit using a extremely important strain of
mycobacterium. "By identifying Mycobacterium paratuberculosis throughout as small as you week as
opposed to fourteen weeks or more, fraxel treatments could conserve the particular agricultural
neighborhood an extraordinary number of bucks annually," he continued.
Nutra Pharma Corp. Infectech offers designed a diagnostic test kit depending on this technology.
Hyman's validation of Infectech's patented technologies clearly exhibits in which we are in any
position to identify any costly disease in a fraction with the time," commented Dr. This kind of
screening can always be done through acid-fast staining or perhaps through PCR gene amplification.
Your Company's vast majority owned subsidiary Infectech, Inc., is actually engaged in the study
along with progression of diagnostic test kits designed being utilized for that rapid identification
regarding infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB) and also Mycobacterium avium-
intracellulare (MAI). Apoptosis is a approach regarding inducing the genetically based induction
regarding "cell suicide" within cells. the slides tend to be incubated in the trial regarding nearly
every bodily fluid (a non-invasive test associated with saliva can be preferred) inside a new nutrient
broth. Dr. a national research regarding US dairies, Dairy NAHMS 96, discovered that
approximately 22 % associated with US dairy farms get no less than 10% with the herd infected with
Johne's disease. Little herds (fewer than 50 cows) lost an typical associated with $178 for each cow,
whilst huge herds (greater when compared with 500 cows) lost $181 per cow. The Particular test
kits are now being built to work on a class of bacteria which includes TB, MAI, Para-tuberculosis,
Pseudomonas as well as Nocardia.

Infectech, Inc. 7, 2004--Nutra Pharma Corp. This specific loss had been because of to reduced milk
production, early culling, and also poor conditioning from culling.. The Particular research decided
in which infected herds expertise an typical loss involving $75 per cow stock annually. Absolutely
Nothing within this press launch shall end up being construed as an offer in order to sell or even buy
any securities herein.
About Nutra Pharma Corp.
"We are extremely excited about the progress which includes been created by Dr. is really a
biotechnology holding business which owns rights for you to patents and also intellectual property
associated for the progression of drugs regarding HIV as well as Multiple Sclerosis ("MS"). The
Actual company's patents span your identification as well as antibiotic sensitivity screening of the
family regarding disease-causing bacteria in which includes: Tuberculosis, Para-tuberculosis,
Pseudomonas, M. Additionally, Infectech in addition owns any patent for the nontoxic induction
associated with apoptosis in cancer cells utilizing hydrophobic hydrocarbons. Via the choice of
numerous nutrient broths, each as well as every kit may be tailored to encourage the development of
a specific bacterium. Hyman as well as Ohio State University," said Rik Deitsch, Nutra Pharma's
