Joe .. what do you think of APPI. Current news: Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.APPI Announces the Signing ofAgreement with TechWave Inc.ShopNow.com) NEW YORK, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: APPI) announced today that they have signed an agreement with TechWave Inc., the parent Company of ShopNow.com. Advanced Plant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in continuation with their internet marketing campaign, has signed an agreement with TechWave Inc., parent Company of ShopNow.com. APPI's current line of all natural, standardized, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements will be available for purchase by ShopNow.com visitors via an advertising link on ShopNow.com directly to APPI's web site and secure order form. Initially APPI will make available to all ShopNow.com shoppers their fully standardized, pharmaceutical grade, patented, cholesterol lowering agent "Lo-Chol". Lo-Chol is a combination of six different botanicals and has been shown to not only lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, but also increase HDL (good cholesterol) and balance the proportion of HDL to LDL (bad cholesterol). APPI will also introduce their standardized pharmaceutical grade Garlic and "ACA" the nutritional version of Abavca the Company's most clinically advanced pharmaceutical. ACA is derived exclusively from whole plants and has been shown to overcome many of the debilitating symptoms of HIV patients and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) while enhancing the immune system. All APPI products are manufactured using APPI's patent pending 13 step proprietary process which creates the best nutritional supplements known to man. APPI's manufacturing process leaves the chemical formation of the Whole Plant in tact, whereas, manufacturing by extraction methods using alcohol castrates the chemical formation of the plant. The total nutritional supplement market is estimated to be in excess of 23 billion dollars annually in the USA. The CFS and Immune markets are estimated to be in excess of 6 billion dollars annually. The cholesterol market in the USA is estimated to be in excess of 4 billion annually. Chief Operating Officer for APPI Barry Clare sees the signing of the TechWave agreement as an exciting marketing tool for the Company's products and technology. Mr. Clare believes that APPI's visibility on the internet will create inroads for future more conventional sales of Advanced Plant Pharmaceutical products. The company expects to announce further agreements in the near future. APPI is a company that develops innovative plant formulations and technology for clinical application. APPI has met FDA nutritional specifications for the marketing of its Lo-Chol in the USA, and has received the first IND from the FDA for a whole plant pharmaceutical which has potential as an immunomodulater in the treatment of patients infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. APPI's Whole Plant Pharmaceutical Grade Process is trade secret and patent pending. Utilization of the APPI process converts a whole plant into the best standardized pharmaceutical grade product.
