World Arm Wrestling Champ, Jason Vale, in David and Goliath Battle with the FDA

Jason Vale, 35 yr old who was terminal from cancer, went on to become the Arm Wrestling World Champion, is facing another difficult opponent -- the Federal Drug Administration. Jason turned to alternative healing when he came down with cancer for the third time -- and successfully conquered cancer by prayer and eating apricot seeds, otherwise known as Laetrile. The seeds of these fruits contain Vitamin B17 (Laetrile) which has been found to have an amazing success in the healing of all types of cancers as well as preventing cancer. Jason Vale has traveled the country in arm wrestling matches since his healing, and has been interviewed by various newspapers, radio stations, and tv shows such as Extra and CNN and the Wall Street Journal. The staff of Extra received such a large number of callers after Jason's interview aired, that they aired his show a second time. Jason began to supply people with apricot seeds and an information video through a company Christian Brothers and thereafter thousands called in with success stories ranging from cancer gone to tumors shrinking down. These success stories are all documented at the website www.seedoffaith.org along with the court documents. Eventually, without even one customer compaint, the FDA came in and seized apricot seeds and computers and brought Jason to criminal court for promoting this natural answer to cancer. On July 14, 2003, in the Federal Eastern District of New York courtroom of Judge John Gleeson, Jason will defend his Constitutional Rights to be able to continue to tell his story of how he defeated one of the world's most deadliest opponents - cancer. This news worthy case has been quiet for some time now, however due to the near future trial date, Jason Vale has finally agreed to tell his side of the story; this is after turning down shows such as Date Line, 20-20 and 60 minutes.

Despite early enthusiasm for angiogenesis inhibitors as safe and effective anticancer drugs, results of several completed Phase III and Phase II trials have been disappointing.

Provectus Working to Correct Inaccurate Reports of Large Increase in Number of Free Trading Common Shares

Knoxville,TN January 1 2004--Provectus Pharmaceuticals (OTC Bulletin Board: PVCT - News) announced today that the Company is aggressively working to correct inaccurate reporting of proposed sales of shares by the Company directors. In October 2003 Dr. Craig Dees and Dr. Tim Scott, two of our directors, each proposed to sell 94,876 shares of the Company's common stock. The Forms 144 which were actually filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") erroneously indicated that Drs. Dees and Scott proposed to sell significantly more shares. Drs. Dees and Scott instructed their broker to promptly amend the Forms 144 to show the correct amount of shares that were proposed to be sold. Even after these amendments were filed with the SEC, various reporting services have continued to erroneously report that Drs. Dees and Scott have proposed to sell significantly more shares. Since the original Forms 144 were filed, neither Dr. Dees nor Dr. Scott have sold any shares.
