The OmniBody Scan is manufactured specifically for American HealthChoiceby a respected infrared imaging manufacturer with years of successfulexperience in this field. Efforts have begun to solicit resellers topenetrate the U.S. market with both the OmniBody Scan and the Company'sadjunct support system of providing high quality "interpretations" of theinfrared images.

"We wish to express our sincere thanks to our investors and shareholdersfor their patience in allowing us to finally introduce the OmniBody Scan withthe proper FDA approvals and technology. This is the product that we wantedfrom the beginning. While it is manufactured by a different company than theoriginal version, it adheres to the highest standards of thermography. It iseasy to use and offers a very high grade of technology and quality. This is agreat market for American HealthChoice to enter and, while it took longer thananticipated, we have great expectations on the results both short and longterm," said Mr. McGlashan.

Five years ago, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independentpanel of experts in primary care and prevention, examined data from numerousclinical trials and estimated that screening mammography every one or twoyears in women in their 40s resulted in a 15 percent decrease in breast cancermortality after 14 years of follow-up. But, analyses also made note of thepotential harm of screening, including radiation exposure, procedure-associated pain, false-positive results, over-diagnosis and potentiallyunnecessary treatment.

"The Company continues it litigation against Texas Infrared, the originalmanufacturer, in the matter of the OmniBody Scan and we anticipate an outcomefavorable to American HealthChoice," said Dr. John W. Stucki, CEO.

The OmniBody Scan, a non-invasive technology with absolutely no harmfulside effects, is available today. For additional information or to become anauthorized reseller, please contact Pat McGlashan at 817-837-8000, ext. 222,or [email protected].
