Researchers from Stanford University and the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Health Care System Successfully Complete Initial Pilot Study Focused on Illustrating the Physiologic Effects of the Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning Process

Larger, more extensive studies are now planned as a result of these pilot data.

TEMECULA, Calif., February 2, 2007--CVAC Systems, Inc. has been informed by researchers from Stanford University and the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Health Care System (VAPAHCS) that the initial pilot study of the physiologic effects of the Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning (CVAC TM) process has been successfully completed. As a result of these pilot data, larger, more extensive studies are planned.

The prinicipal investigator of the study is Anne L. Friedlander, PhD., Director of the Exercise Physiology Lab in the Clinicla Studies Unit and a Consulting Professor for the Program in Human Biology at Stanford University. Dr. Friedlander reported that all four athletes studied were able to complete the 6-8-week protocol and testing with full compliance and no significant adverse effects. "These data provide us with the necessary logistical information and observations to allow us to move forward with a much larger sample size," explained Dr. Friedlander. While the data remain confidential pending the larger study and pubication, Dr.Friedlander did report that the preliminary results appear promising and suggest a strong impact of the CVAC exposures on the altitude acclimitatization process. "We are eager to move forward with the larger study, which we expect will expand on our preliminary findings and begin to identify the underlying mechanisms of change caused by the CVAC srssions," commented Dr. Friedlander.

"We are vey pleased with the quality of the research and results Dr. Friedlander and her staff of researchers at Stanford University and the VAPAHCS are providing to this fundamental research into the remarkable physiological effects of the CVAC process. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship as we mutually explore the many potential applications of CVAC technology, which include insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes in addition to exercise performance enhancement," commented Allen J. Ruszkowski, President and CEO of CVAC Systems, Inc.
