SinoFresh Healthcare, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: SFSH) announced the recent
successful initial animal pilot study of the SinoFresh Nasal Spray
product for use in preventing and decreasing the severity of H1N1
("swine flu") virus. Additional testing necessary for FDA approval
of the product for this use, as well as a product specifically
targeted at cold and flu including H1N1, is planned. The study
suggests that SinoFresh Nasal Spray use allowed the H1N1 infected
animals to recover more rapidly than did untreated animals.
The study conducted by SRS International Corp. of Falls Church,
VA was designed to evaluate the severity of infection from H1N1
("swine flu") virus in a well accepted rodent model for studying
human nasal and respiratory tract infection by viruses and other
microbial pathogens. In the study, the test animals were inoculated
with H1N1 and then received SinoFresh Nasal Spray in the nose three
times daily for 14 days.
Dr. John A. Todhunter, President of SRS International, who
conducted the testing said, "We believe that SinoFresh Homeopathic
Antiseptic Nasal Spray's current and past test results supporting a
broad killing capability against numerous viruses, bacteria and
other pathogens should make the product an excellent candidate for
eventual evaluation by the FDA as a safe, broad based preventative
antiseptic nasal and sinus cleansing product, which could be used
by consumers to enhance current disease prevention measures such as
using hand sanitizers and antiseptic mouthwash."
Drs. Michael Stampar, D.O. and Cathy Criss, D.O., Senior Medical
Advisors to the Company stated, "In our opinion, these test results
are consistent with our nearly eight years of clinical experience
and observations using SinoFresh. When coupled with prior SinoFresh
testing results, it further confirms our belief that SinoFresh
Homeopathic Antiseptic Nasal Spray is on track to be recognized as
a breakthrough solution in helping to prevent and/or reduce the
severity of a broad range of upper respiratory infections caused by
airborne pathogens."
