Thanks for the report Jonathan. I'll give my thoughts on the possibility of selling stock later today. In the mean time, this should give you some more pleasant tasting food for thought: Thursday January 28, 11:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Paracelsian Inc. Paracelsian and R.P. Scherer BioFIT(TM)Herbgels(TM) Featured on Danielle Lin Show Taped Live at Natural Products EXPO West ITHACA, N.Y., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Paracelsian Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PRLN - news) and R.P. Scherer North America have joined forces with Danielle Lin to promote the latest in quality herbal products, BioFIT(TM)Herbgels(TM). BioFIT Herbgels will be introduced at the Natural Products EXPO West in Anaheim, CA March 12-14. Danielle Lin, the creator and host of the nationally syndicated talk radio program, ''A Word On Health,'' will tape her show live from the R.P. Scherer booth (#3293) on March 13th. The taping will include a discussion on the BioFIT program and its benefits, the benefits and advantages of softgels, and the background/benefits of R.P. Scherer's vitamin E products. Danielle Lin's research spawned her own natural food company manufacturing foods from soy products. Recognized as an expert in the industry, she was the national spokesperson for the Soyfoods Association of America. Today Danielle is a renowned lecturer and health educator using radio as her medium. She was the first radio talk show host to market lifestyle programming in the natural foods industry. The BioFIT Certification Program provides a new, higher level of quality assurance for herbal products. Instead of relying on traditional analytical techniques to assure the presence of active or presumed active constituents of herbs, BioFIT tests finished products, in the form in which they are consumed, to assure a minimum level of activity in biological mechanisms associated with the herb's claimed benefits. A complete description of the BioFIT program can be found at Paracelsian's Internet Web Site (http://www.paracelsian.com). BioFIT products are expected to begin reaching consumers sometime this spring. They will be marketed as BioFIT Herbgels by several of R.P. Scherer's contract manufacturing customers under their own proprietary brands. Paracelsian is a unique biotechnology company whose business centers on the development and application of functional bioassays. These assays are used for Quality Assurance of herbs, botanicals and other dietary supplements, in the development of dietary supplements, OTC and pharmaceutical products, and in monitoring environmental toxins and identifying carcinogens. R.P. Scherer is a leading manufacturer of herbal and other dietary supplement products, and the world leader in softgel technology and drug delivery systems.
