The Testing Hospital testing of the ASAP Solution(R), as an antibiotic alternative, in Ghana, West Africa has met with such significant results that the Food and Drug Board of Ghana has already approved the ASAP Solution(R) for drug registration. Testing of the product in hospitals has been going on for over a year, reports Keith Moeller VP, "We never dreamed that the human testing of the product could have gone this well. We already have results in from the first 60 patients, and we are waiting for information on approximately 120 more." In the testing, which was conducted in hospitals by medical doctors, the ASAP Solution(R) was used as a treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions such as malaria, fungal skin infections, vaginal infections, urinary tract infections, tonsilitis, pharingitis, gonorrhea, conjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infections, nasal and sinus problems. Said Moeller, "In the first 60 human cases which we have record of, the doctors reported no failures at all. In fact, almost all conditions showed full recovery within 1-7 days, and in the case of one eye infection, the doctor reported immediate relief. Malaria Tests Malaria is reportedly the number two infectious killer in the world, killing approximately 1.5 million people, mostly children, annually. An outbreak of several new cases was recently reported in the United States in Virginia. Of the first 60 patents treated in the hospitals with the ASAP Solution(R), there were eight reported malaria patients. Some of the cases were reported as having "severe malaria". The patients ages were 8, 18, 35, 45, 51, 53, 56, and 75. The doctors reported that all eight malaria cases were fully recovered within just seven days. Said Moeller, "We are very excited about the test results and the drug approval. We can now sell the product in West Africa and we expect to be shipping hundreds of thousands of bottles of the ASAP Solution(R) to Africa before the end of the year. We are just on the tip of the iceberg. Thousands of doctors and companies have been searching for a treatment for malaria with limited success. Whereas, the test results of ASAP Solution(R) are very positive. A new series of human trials has already begun in Africa specializing in the treatment of malaria alone. We hope to have those results soon. In conjunction with the results we released a few weeks ago, showing the products ability to kill the MRSA super bacteria and the new human test data including the treatment of malaria, we feel like the mouse that roared!"
