VitalCare Announces FDA Approval of Infusion Device Used for iCAT
Therapy
National Announcement of FDA Approved Infusion Technology
CARSON CITY, Nev. (Business Wire EON) April 21, 2008 --
VitalCare Diabetes Treatment Centers, Inc. (NASDAQ: VDTI), a Nevada
Corporation, today announced the FDA approval (called allowance to
market) exists for the infusion devices used by VitalCare for its
Intracellular Activation Therapy (iCAT) treatment of Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes. Jimmy McDougald, CEO stated, stated, “This
is a major factor in the establishment of our treatment centers, as we
begin to move iCAT into the commercial market.”
iCAT Therapy utilizes the special use micro-pulse insulin delivery pump
with proprietary software (algorithms) incorporated into its logic. This
uniquely designed pump delivers small “micro-doses”
of insulin in a pattern which mimics the way a normal pancreas secretes
insulin which is used by the liver. iCAT Therapy also uses “real-time”
measurements of the patient’s blood sugar
levels and bodywide metabolic rate by the use of a metabolic measurement
cart. This data is inputted into the pump which automatically adjusts
the next insulin dosage to stimulate more normal metabolism. The
metabolic cart uses state-of-the-art technology to measure exhaled CO2
from the exhaled breath of the patient, and the result of our iCAT
Therapy is the “reactivation”
of normal metabolism in the patient. With normalization of liver enzyme
functions, the body’s cells begin to utilize
glucose, something that people with diabetes cannot do normally. This
treatment restores the optimum metabolism bodywide which promotes
healing.
By addressing the core problem of diabetes, improper metabolism (fat
metabolism), iCAT Therapy is able to achieve unique stabilization of
diabetes complications, and in many cases, a reversal of the secondary
complications of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes has been clinically
documented. No other technology or protocol has ever demonstrated this
type or level of success.
There are over 20.8 million children and adults in the United States,
approximately 7% of the US population, who have diabetes. While an
estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, roughly 6.2
million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the
disease.
In 2007, the total estimated cost of diabetes in the United States
was $174 billion in terms of direct medical expenditures and lost
productivity. Diabetes is more than a major health crisis - it’s
a legitimate national threat to America’s
economy. Jimmy McDougald, CEO, further stated, “With
the only FDA approved device delivering this treatment, we will expect
to sign agreements to start the establishment of iCAT Treatment Centers
immediately.”
