I currently own about 120000
shares of MSITF and plan to buy more.

If you track this stock you will
see many PR's outlining all of the
testing and deliveries they have
made for test kits.

I have been a bit worried because
the price has been dropping. I called
Robert Talbot and asked if MSITF
would be issuing any financial information
on the company. (I really didn't expect
to get him but he answered the phone).
He said they were about 10 days out from
posting some financial information. (I did not ask what or if it was positive or
negative...)

I asked how much a kit costs basically
he said it depended on if you were a
Government Customer, Wholesaler or
Retail purchaser. I just asked for
rough numbers... He said for the Government
orders the costs were about $3.75-4 a unit.
Retail could be $13-19...

In our local pharmacy a similar product
is about $65 a pop.

I plan on adding to my position. Thought
I would pass on the info.

If you want to call him...

I don't know what to believe. I started with $2K then turned it into $28K now down

Hoping that MSITF will help get me to

I put in an order for another 60000...

I have done pretty well with GMED but think
this has run it course so I will be taking
profits.

I like the concepts of PDNW owned companies.
So I am long - will add to my 15000 shares.

I am intrigued by PCRC which is suposedly
has the same CEO as LBTT. I have 300000 shares.
(I have not been able to confirm the LBTT
CEO connection)

CVGYQ - Bought this based on info
that they were emerging from Bankruptcy.
I have not confirmed that the shares will
stay intact... but I have 150000 just in
case they do. This will move quickly or
I will lose everything. So a gamble play.

I have also been tracking the 1k to 100k
.com site so I own SVNX which has been
down 20% since my purchase.

Been getting rid of my losers...
started with 2k about 18 months ago
with a goal of doubling every 6 months.
Currently at 22K. High of 28K at the
beginning of the year.

Trying to reach the next milestone
by summer 32K. Then 64K by Winter.

It was easier to turn 2k into 4k than
it is to take 16k and turn it into 32K.

If you lose 2k you say oh-well. If
you lose 16K then you say ouch!
Not to mention that I owe capital
gains on $8500 this year.

Medical Services West Nile Virus Test Kit for Animals Nears Completion
Wednesday March 24, 9:02 am ET

EDMONTON, Alberta, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that in conjunction with the Companies continued work on their VScan rapid test kit for West Nile virus in humans, the Company is also nearing completion of a second, free-standing test kit for detecting the virus in animals. It is anticipated that the animal version of the test kit will be ready for regulatory testing within 60 to 90 days.
ADVERTISEMENT


In-house testing to date has been encouraging and has demonstrated the ability to detect the virus in certain animal species at a very early level of infection. This was determined through the detection of the IgM class of antibodies which are present at an early level of infection. The same kit will also detect the IgG class of antibodies which are present in the blood after the infection reaches a more chronic level. The kit has also demonstrated an ability to detect the virus in dead animals where there is no degradation to the sample quality.

The Company believes that this test kit will provide Veterinarians, Conservation Officers and other animal health care experts an innovative, accurate and cost-effective diagnostic tool. Market studies have also shown that individuals with animals are also interested in testing their pets. It will be particularly beneficial where the rapid detection of the West Nile virus in animal species is a necessity to starting a successful vaccine treatment and/or where existing testing methods are very expensive and complex.

(Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that through the efforts of ATA Limited as exclusive distributor in Hong Kong and Kerry Associates, that Watson's The Chemist has agreed to carry the VScan HIV rapid test kits at their dispensaries.

EDMONTON, Alberta, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) wishes to announce that interest in the VScan Dengue Fever kit has increased dramatically. The cases of Dengue Fever are increasing significantly in the Southern United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. The Company has shipped kits to three countries to date and will ship to another 4 before the end of April. The VScan Dengue Fever test kit has an accuracy of 99% in under 20 minutes. The Company licensed the patented reagent on an exclusive basis for certain areas from the United States Naval Research Center for a period of 10 years and combined the reagents with our existing proven technology used in the VScan rapid test kits. The areas in which the company has the exclusive license are the areas where there has been an significant increase in Dengue Fever. The Company will have virtually no competition in these areas. It is reasonable to expect to sell in excess of 300 000 Dengue kits this year which will generate sales of $1,200,000 USD.
Dengue Fever is a mosquito born disease characterized by a rapid onset of fever that may last from 5 to 7 days. After effects of Dengue Fever can last for 6 to 8 months without early detection and treatment. The most severe form is Hemorrhagic Dengue Fever may lead to circulatory failure and death (12%). Dengue can be effectively treated through early diagnosis using fluid replacement therapy. Currently there are so few laboratories available that are able to test for Dengue Fever that it is taking 3 to 4 weeks to get results. By then, the patient can be severely incapacitated or dead. Standard recovery time for the mildest form of Dengue Fever without immediate fluid replacement therapy is 4 to 6 months. The VScan test kit for Dengue Fever detects the virus in its very early stages in under 20 minutes and with immediate fluid replacement therapy the effects are minimal and recovery is very fast. Early detection of the Dengue Virus so the fluid replacement therapy can be used prevents the collapse of the circulatory system.

Medical Services Gets Request to Ship Dengue Fever Kits to Hong Kong
4/27/2004 7:01:00 AM
EDMONTON, Alberta, Apr 27, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) wishes to announce that it has been requested to ship VScan Dengue Fever test kits to Hong Kong immediately. According to our Hong Kong distributor there has been an unexpected outbreak of Dengue Fever in Hong Kong. Public service announcements currently being broadcast in Hong Kong are describing the symptoms of Dengue Fever and if individuals are experiencing these symptoms they are to see their doctor immediately. The current problem is that the laboratories are taking 2 to 3 weeks to get test results. The key to full recovery from Dengue Fever is immediate fluid replacement therapy. With a delay in diagnosis, fluid replacement therapy is administered too late and the individual can be severely incapacitated or die. Standard recovery time for the mildest form of Dengue Fever without any treatment is 3 to 4 months. With the VScan Dengue Fever test kit the detection of the Dengue Fever Virus is within 20 minutes and treatment can start immediately. Early detection means that if necessary, fluid replacement therapy can be used to prevent the collapse of the circulatory system and resulting in the affects of Dengue Fever being minimal.

The Company anticipates that the test results obtained in testing will demonstrate once again how versatile and accurate that the VScan test kits are. There are no other rapid test kits currently available for Dengue Fever that perform as well as the VScan rapid test kit for Dengue Fever.

About VScan

The VScan rapid test kit is a single use, easy to use, test for the screening of HIV 1&2 subgroup O, Hepatitis B&C, Tuberculosis (TB), Dengue Fever and West Nile. The kits cannot be sold in Canada.

Medical Services to Form Joint Venture in China
Monday May 3, 1:23 pm ET

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that it has entered into discussions with a Chinese Pharmaceutical Company with an excellent distribution system throughout the People's Republic of China. The purpose of the joint venture will be to research and develop other necessary rapid test kits that are needed in China and get them to market as quickly as possible.

It is felt that the joint venture will allow Medical Services to bring its other test kits to the market in China very quickly. The joint venture does not include the VScan HIV test kit except for the fact Medical Services will be able to market the HIV test kits through their distribution system and is included in the overall marketing plan.

On April 15, 2004, the Chinese Government put out a press release where they announced free AIDS/HIV testing for the entire Chinese population. With the testing of its HIV test kit nearing completion and based on the excellent test results obtained during the testing and the fact that the VScan HIV test kit can be used in any environment, does not require refrigeration, uses whole blood and does not need trained medical personnel or medical facilities, the Company has every expectation that it will be an active participant in the testing program.

Medical Services Ships Dengue Fever Kits to Caribbean for Immediate Use

Tuesday , May 11, 2004 07:01 ET

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 11, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF) is pleased to announce that it has shipped VScan Dengue fever test kits to Belize in the Caribbean for immediate implementation into their testing protocol. Dengue Fever has become very prevalent throughout the Caribbean.

Most Caribbean islands do not have testing facilities on site to test for Dengue Fever and have to send blood samples off island for analysis which results in a substantial delay (20 to 30 days) in diagnosis. Early diagnosis of Dengue Fever allows for fluid replacement therapy in the worst cases and limits the severe medical consequences of Dengue Fever.

The VScan Dengue Fever test kit uses whole blood, serum or plasma for testing and gives results in under 20 minutes. The VScan test kit is very sensitive, detecting the virus at IgM levels as well as IgG. This means detection of Dengue Fever within days of contacting the virus. There is no other rapid test for Dengue Fever that detects the virus as fast as the VScan Dengue Fever test kit. The Dengue kit is so sensitive that it shows a separate detection line for IgM and IgG.

In addition to Belize, the Company has had other inquiries as to the availability of the Dengue Fever test kit for the Caribbean. Dengue Fever is also moving into South Western United States and Mexico at a very fast rate. The Company feels that this will be a very important kit related to the detection and control of the Dengue Fever Virus in Southwest United States and Mexico. As the Company licensed the antigen through an associated Company from the U.S. Naval Research Center, the Company will be moving to apply for regulatory approval in the United States very quickly. The demand for this kit in the United States will be significant in a very short period of time.

The VScan rapid test kit is a single use, easy to use, test for screening of HIV 1&2 and subgroup O, Hepatitis B&C, Tuberculosis (TB), Dengue Fever and West Nile. The kits cannot be sold in Canada.

Medical Services International Completes Major Independent Test of Its Tuberculosis (TB) Test Kit
Wednesday May 12, 7:02 am ET

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medical Services International Inc. (Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that it has completed a major independent test of its VScan Tuberculosis (TB) rapid test kit in Europe. The test results showed that the VScan TB test kit had 100% specificity with 76% sensitivity. There is no test currently available for TB that is as accurate as the VScan TB test kit. Further the VScan test kit is the only test kit for TB that has NO false positives. All other test kits for TB currently available give false positive.
The fact that there are no false positives with the VScan test kit means that the need for retesting and/or follow up testing that is both costly and time consuming and requires the use of skilled medical personnel is eliminated. Current testing can take up to 3 days before results are obtained and even longer if the individual gets a false positive. The VScan TB rapid test kit gives results in under 30 minutes.
Published data shows that 30% of the individuals that have HIV/Aids have Tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is highly contagious. Anyone who comes into contact with an individual with active TB can get the disease. Use of both the VScan HIV 1&2 rapid test kit and the VScan Tuberculosis (TB) rapid test kit give individuals a significant advantage when it come to detecting HIV and/or Tuberculosis (TB).
As a result of the independent testing of the VScan TB test kit and the test results that have been published over the last six months, the Company has received many inquiries related to the kit by both health officials in different countries and European companies interested in becoming distributors. The Company has entered into discussions with several companies to begin distributing the VScan TB test kit.

Colombia has a population of approximately 42 million people and is very concerned with the spread of HIV/AIDS. They are taking a very active and positive approach to testing and treatment. It is reasonable to expect that Colombia will need up to 2,500,000 test kits per year to make their program successful.

(Pinksheets: MSITF - News) is pleased to announce that it has shipped the last group of VScan HIV test kits necessary to complete regulatory testing in People's Republic of China. The Chinese regulatory agencies requires companies that are applying for approval of their HIV test kits to complete testing of 2000 kits in 8 different provinces in China.
ADVERTISEMENT


The Company was informed of the last location this week and has shipped the required amount of test kits to complete the test. Testing per location takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks. While the testing has been going on, the Company scientists have been working with officials in Beijing to complete all required documentation related to the test kits. Of the tests completed to date, the Company has achieved an overall sensitivity of 99.6% and specificity of 99.9%. The regulations require that test kits achieve an overall accuracy of 99%. We have met this requirement. Our testing has been done using whole blood, serum and plasma. Testing has been done in government approved laboratories. Live testing has been carried out in several locations. We have been informed by government officials that our test results were better than all other testing done on HIV test kits for all of 2003. No other kit exceeded 98% accuracy.

In addition to the above, the testing done in drug rehabilitation centers continues to go extremely well. The testing completed in China will be used to supplement the testing completed in the United States, related to the filing with regulatory agencies in the U.S. The number of tests completed in China gives additional credibility to the U.S. testing.
