eFoodSafety.com, Inc. Enters Biotech Arena with Revolutionary Lyme Disease Product; Human Clinical Trials Currently Underway 4/4/2006 9:50:00 AM EST Patricia Gruden, President/CEO of eFoodSafety.com, Inc. (OTCBB:EFSF), announced today that Knock-Out Technologies, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of eFoodSafety.com, Inc., has developed a safe, natural, ingestible product that is believed to eradicate Lyme disease. Bucks County Clinical Research, Inc., (BCCR) (http://bccrinc.com/), an FDA clinical facility, is conducting the testing of the Lyme disease product under the direction of David J. Miller, D.O., FAAP, Executive Director of BCCR, and Richard M. Goldfarb, M.D., FACS, Medical Director of Research & Development of BCCR, a Director of eFoodSafety.com, Inc., and President of MedElite, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of eFoodSafety.com, Inc. The protocol guidelines for patient enrollment criteria include patients who have known, laboratory documented Lyme disease and have undergone multiple courses of conventional treatment, but have all relapsed. In 2003, the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) estimated annual costs for treatment of Lyme disease at $60 million a year in the United States alone. "We have pursued human clinical trials to prove our groundbreaking technology will be effective in eradicating Lyme disease in patients seeking a permanent solution for their chronic symptoms. We also plan on commencing testing in the near future on a broader spectrum of Lyme disease patients, those who have been newly diagnosed and not responsive to current conventional treatment," stated Mrs. Gruden. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., bullseye rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks; laboratory testing is helpful in the later stages of disease. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease can occasionally transmit other tick-borne diseases as well (Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases) (DVBID); National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; http://www.cdc.gov).
