(OTCBB: EFSF), announced today that its newly developed ingestible food-grade, anti-microbial formula has shown a 100% kill of Candida Species, a major health concern, in independent laboratory testing. When our body defenses are compromised (immunosuppressed), fungal infections become opportunistic and Candida is the most common of these fungal infections. Candida infections have dramatically increased in the hospital setting, notably the intensive care unit and surgical intensive care unit, with associated morbidity and mortality. The incidence in hospitals increased 500% from 1980 to 1989. Chronically ill patients, such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, steroid dependent transplant patients, HIV positive patients, COPD patients, burn victims and patients with prosthetic implants (valves, joints) are identified as patients at high risk to contract Candida. There is also a high incidence among patients with indwelling catheters and surgical wounds, as well as patients receiving antibiotics or gastric acid-reducing treatments and also patients who suffer from severe trauma, obesity, diabetes, and alcohol or drug abuse. Developing new preventative and treatment strategies has surfaced as a major priority in the medical community. Currently available treatment and prophylaxis is not without risk. A major adverse effect of current therapy is renal toxicity. Hospital, medical and surgical services now routinely give a prophylactic treatment for their highest risk patients in special care units. The $40,000 increase in the cost of critically ill patients can be attributed to Candida infections. Candida Species in the bloodstream has the highest mortality rate of all pathogens isolated. Ross-Gruden, president/CEO of eFoodSafety.com Inc., stated that due to the favorable laboratory results, we are scheduled to begin human clinical studies with our treatment for Candida mid- February 2006. " We feel strongly that we as a company have an obligation to improve outcomes in the treatment of patients with the Candida infection and provide prophylaxis against future Candida infections without the major side effects of currently available treatments. Knock-Out Technologies continues to remain on the cutting edge of revolutionary new products and ideas with which we can improve our lives and do so without causing toxicity to humans, " added Ross-Gruden.
