If they had/received the funding to do proper marketing and break out, it could be a good one.

ST. LOUIS, June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GenoMed (Pink Sheets: GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company whose business is global public health(TM), today announced that its CEO was invited to speak at the Department of Medicine of the University of Chicago about diseases associated with the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), including avian influenza ('bird flu').
Dr. Skip Garcia, Chairman of the Medicine Department, invited GenoMed's CEO, David Moskowitz, MD, for a two day Visiting Lectureship that ended yesterday. Dr. Garcia is a world-famous lung specialist whose research group is looking for drugs to decrease the 'cytokine storm' created by the avian influenza virus.
GenoMed has filed patent applications claiming that ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II blockers can do exactly that. Furthermore, these drugs may be a near-universal viral antidote, because people who get sick from all viral diseases suffer from a 'cytokine storm.' GenoMed's viral antidote was included in the Project BioShield II Act of 2005, since it would be an ideal response to viral bioterrorism.
Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, 'GenoMed goes from the molecular mechanism of disease directly to practical treatments that are safe and useful at the population level. We're extremely gratified that a world-class research institution like the University of Chicago is thinking along exactly the same lines. |

| To: Tadsamillionaire who wrote (300) | 6/28/2006 7:46:26 PM | | From: Tadsamillionaire | | | | GenoMed Can Explain Link Between West Nile, Diabetes/Hypertension
ST. LOUIS, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GenoMed (Pink Sheets: GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company whose business is global public health(TM), today announced that it has already published why patients with diabetes and high blood pressure should be at increased risk of getting West Nile virus encephalitis.
This observation has now been made in California, New York and Texas.
The link appears to be over-activity of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme, abbreviated 'ACE.'
In 2002, GenoMed published a series of four papers showing that over- activity of ACE led to diabetes and hypertension, as well as to complications like heart and kidney disease. Using the right dose of the right ACE inhibitor, it was possible to reverse diabetic or hypertensive kidney disease for the first time.
In 2004, GenoMed published that a similar approach was successful in treating over 80% of patients with West Nile virus encephalitis. GenoMed's treatment success rate for WNV encephalitis is currently 86% (19 of 22 patients improved rapidly).
In 2003, GenoMed filed patent applications claiming that ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II blockers may be a near-universal viral antidote, because previously healthy people who get sick from nearly all viral diseases suffer from a 'cytokine storm' initiated by too much angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is made by ACE. GenoMed's viral antidote was included in the Project BioShield II Act of 2005, since it would be an ideal public health response to viral bioterrorism.
Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, 'GenoMed goes from the molecular mechanism of disease directly to practical treatments that are safe and useful at the population level. It's very gratifying to get separate epidemiologic confirmation that we've discovered something huge.' |

ST. LOUIS, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GenoMed (OTC: GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company that uses genomics to solve diseases in as many species as possible, today announced that the first horse in its expanded trial for West Nile virus encephalitis recovered completely within 24 hours after starting GenoMed's treatment.
Four days ago, a horse owner in Idaho contacted GenoMed to say that her horse had begun moving much more slowly, and that the veterinarian was treating it for West Nile virus encephalitis. Only two days before, another of her horses had to be put down for presumed West Nile virus encephalitis because it could no longer lift its head and eat.
Within 24 hours of starting GenoMed's treatment, the horse was 'quick on its feet' and appeared fully recovered. The horse's prompt recovery from West Nile virus encephalitis was like that GenoMed has observed since 2003 in people, and since 2004 in birds.
GenoMed's protocol uses a class of already existing blood pressure pills to block the brain inflammation caused by West Nile virus. This disease mechanism appears to be shared by all vertebrates infected with most viruses, leading GenoMed to believe it may have found a safe, general viral antidote. For this reason, GenoMed's approach was included in the language of the Project BioShield II Act of 2005, introduced by Senators Lieberman, Hatch, and Brownback. This bill has not yet been debated in the US Senate.
GenoMed's treatment success rate for WNV encephalitis in people is currently 86% (19 of 22 patients improved rapidly). A small case series involving the company's first 8 patients was published in a peer-reviewed medical journal in 2004.
Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, 'We're delighted that our anti-viral approach appears to work in yet another species. The veterinary community already treats West Nile virus encephalitis as an excessive inflammation of the brain, and is embracing our approach far more readily than the public health community. As a result, I'm afraid that we may save more horses than people this year.' |

ST. LOUIS—August 8, 2006--GenoMed (OTC Pink Sheets GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company whose business is public health™, today announced the endorsement of its trial for West Nile virus encephalitis by an authority in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Neal Handly.
Dr. Handly is Associate Director of Research for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Handly chairs the Academy's Subcommittee on Information Technology.
Dr. Handly said, "GenoMed's protocol is extremely exciting, since we're in the grip of another West Nile epidemic this summer without any known treatment. The Emergency Room is where these cases are seen first. It makes sense to have the ER be a partner in a clinical trial."
Dr. Handly continued, "Dr. Moskowitz uses safe medicines already familiar to every ER physician. What makes his approach appealing is the possibility that it may work for many viruses, including avian influenza and bioterrorist viral attacks. These last two scenarios are of special concern to the Emergency Medicine community."
About Dr. Handly
Dr. Neal Handly is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA. He was consulted to create a state-of-the-art ER this summer in Beirut, Lebanon but has been prevented from doing so by the current hostilities.

David W. Moskowitz MD CEO, GenoMed tel. 314.983.9933 dwmoskowitz@genomed.com
ST. LOUIS—August 16, 2006--GenoMed (OTC Pink Sheets GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company whose business is public health™, today announced that a Texas policeman with paralysis from the waist down due to West Nile virus has accelerated his recovery since starting GenoMed's treatment last week.
The patient contracted West Nile virus encephalitis a month ago. On Monday of that week he was fine, but by Friday, his legs were so weak that he could only get around by crawling. Although he was hospitalized for the next two weeks, he showed little improvement and had become discouraged.
Last week, on Thursday afternoon, August 10th, the patient and his physician began GenoMed's protocol. Two days later, on Saturday, August 12th, the patient walked with assistance for 100 steps, compared to only 18 steps on Friday, the day before. Yesterday, Tuesday, August 15th, the patient could easily move the toes in his right foot for the first time, as well as begin to move his right foot sideways.
Said GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, David Moskowitz MD, FACP, "This patient's accelerated recovery from West Nile virus reinforces the idea that our treatment should be used early in all patients suspected of West Nile virus encephalitis. It is possible that he might not have progressed to paralysis if his physician had started him on our treatment during the very first week of symptoms."
Added Dr. Moskowitz, "Getting the word out about our treatment may literally make the difference between life and death, or in this case a quick recovery versus prolonged paralysis."
About GenoMed
Since 2003, GenoMed has been using safe, FDA-approved, prescription-only blood pressure pills to treat West Nile virus encephalitis. So far, GenoMed has had an 87% treatment success rate (20 of 23 patients). The first 8 patients were published two years ago in a peer-reviewed medical journal, and GenoMed still has the only published treatment for West Nile virus encephalitis in the medical literature. This summer GenoMed extended its trial successfully to include horses. Anyone can download the WNV trial protocol from GenoMed's website, www.genomed.com, by clicking on the "West Nile trial" link.

David W. Moskowitz MD - GenoMed - St. Louis, Missouri - Tel. 314.983.9933 - dwmoskowitz@genomed.com
Randy Bean DVM - Owyhee Veterinary Clinic - Homedale, Idaho - Tel. 208-337-4677
ST. LOUIS—August 17, 2006--GenoMed (OTC Pink Sheets GMED), a Next Generation Disease Management company that uses genomics to solve diseases in as many species as possible, today announced that the second horse in its expanded trial for West Nile virus encephalitis recovered completely within 72 hours after starting GenoMed's treatment.
On Saturday afternoon this past weekend, a horse owner in Idaho telephoned Dr. Randy Bean to say that his horse could no longer walk straight. The horse had not been vaccinated for West Nile virus, and the diagnosis was presumed West Nile virus encephalitis. The usual treatment for a horse with WNV costs about $700, and includes antiserum and intravenous dexamethasone. The owner didn't want to spend that much money on his horse. Dr. Bean, who had recently treated another horse with GenoMed's approach, encouraged the owner not to just let his horse die, but to try GenoMed's treatment, which costs $10 a day.
Within 72 hours, the horse was fully recovered.
West Nile virus encephalitis affects horses more severely than people, and the odds of recovery are slimmer. Dr. Bean feels that GenoMed's treatment made the difference, and is now calling for a wider trial of GenoMed's approach in horses.
Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, "I'm delighted that Dr. Bean has managed to cure a second horse with presumed WNV using our approach. I'm hoping our treatment finally gets a fair trial this year."
GenoMed's treatment success rate for WNV encephalitis in people is currently 87% (20 of 23 patients improved rapidly). A small case series involving the company's first 8 patients was published in a peer-reviewed medical journal in 2004.
About GenoMed
Anyone can download the human protocol for West Nile virus for free from GenoMed's website, www.genomed.com, at any time. Horse owners are encouraged to contact Dr. Moskowitz or Dr. Bean directly (see contact information above) to discuss specific medications and dosing.
