I posted the following on the YAHOO message board today, but for some reason it did not make it through. I am irritated by this problem on Yahoo, the posts don't show up! (yes I cleared my buffer and hit "refresh") Anyway, I thought it so downright sensible I am posting it here as well! ---------------------------------------------------------------- An earlier post pointed to my lack of reading posts...I dismissed much as "hype". Well, 2 things have happened today to bolster my confidence in the company's prospects! 1) I DID take the time to go back and read many of the posts here....like the one this message is in response to. "stock_learner" Bravo! well put, chalk one up for intelligent articulated opinions! 2) A very congenial and well-spoken gentleman from Biofield returned my call today. I will not mention his name because if I take liberties with what he said (which I will try not to do) I would not want a mis-quote attributed to him. As one might expect from the circumstances, he was not able to give me much specific information. He did say the delisting is under appeal. I made a couple of deliberately "leading" statements and come away with a positive feel for their prospects. He offered as to how if I had any more questions he could be reached at a different number more quickly. I told him I really appreciated the time he spent talking to me, and ventured that possibly not all such calls were as upbeat and friendly. He responded that actually he had not had too many difficult callers and mostly it has been a positive experience talking to shareholders! So....for what it's worth, I now apologize for my statement yesterday that they were "schmucks" for not returning my calls! There is also the fact that a 5 day bout of the flu is loosening it's grip on me. Ok, not very "substantive" perhaps, but an honest appraisal of something less than "tangible". I have invested in a number of "development stage" companies. A couple have since gone belly up. The difference with those companies and this one: 1) Case "A": the company was tied to a very thin niche market that changed dramatically by the time even a prototype was ready to market. 2) Case "B": the claims made by company B were materially false, the company was "non-reporting" and simply folded up their tent and left shareholders in the rain. I do not feel either scenario applies here. I have prostate cancer, and I can tell you, the attributes of cancer do not change in a matter of months. Non-invasive is a big plus to anyone unlucky enough to experience what "invasive" can be. In my case it was a rather dramatic lymph node surgery and 8 weeks worth of complications.....just to determine if my prospects were good enough to warrant treatment! So, having posted this overly long message, and picked up some more shares today, I am at peace, ok, at rest, for a while! Best Wishes!

And another yahoo message I felt good about posting here: by: hfew44 311 of 311 I've learned never to take anything for granted on these message boards. Often the motivations are the same it is just a matter of discerning who stands to gain what and from where. I work in the IT field, am computer literate, I know what an algorithm is....that maybe puts me ahead of 50% of the people who would read your post. You stated: "If the device is good, why are they apparently using AGE as input to the algorithm?" I can't answer that. I will offer additional questions though. 1) If the device were not "good", would it have been approved for clinical testing in europe and received a great deal of press over the results? 2) Would it posess a number of exclusive patents? 3) Would the company have scaled it's efforts down to pinpointing a "last hope" strategy to bring it to market? (a reference to the fact that a number of employees were laid off last month) Development stage companies come and go....some are born and die on the BB stocks. Others burn through their cash before delivering their finished product to market. At this point, theoretical discussions of the minutia surrounding HOW the biofield devices work is irrelevent. It is relevent only to those who either have an interest in a competing product or company, or would gain from seeing this company beaten down further. I know there are supposedly a number of disgruntled employees who have posted here...I suppose those people's motives would be clear enough. My motive is clear, simple and easy to understand. I will profit when the stock goes up! This company, this device. It has come down to an all or nothing gamble. The one side supposes it will be "all". At this point I would tend to agree! Best Wishes~!
