CM PLUS TESTIMONY

I recently was a participant in a research study for rheumatoid arthritis.  I took Cetyl Myristoleate for approximately one month.  I could not belief the difference it made in me,  It was night and day.  Where previously I would awake 3 and 4 times throughout the night with stiffness in my neck, wrists and ankles, I was able to sleep throughout the night.  My husband remarked on how easily I moved and walked as opposed to before taking CM.  I am hoping to continue taking this as I am anxious to see what continued use will bring.

Sincerely,
Stholy

Imagenetix Inc. Presents Efficacy Study Results for Fatty Acid Ester
Complex on Osteoarthritis Patients

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BW HealthWire)--April 2, 2001--Fatty acid ester complex
capsules, known as CMC(TM), may combat the
pain and mobility challenges of osteoarthritis (OA), according to results of
a recent clinical trial presented at the Experimental Biology Conference 2001
in Orlando.

Robert Hesslink, Jr. Sc.D., consulting scientist to Imagenetix Inc. (OTC:IAGX
- news), sponsor of the trial, presented favorable findings from a
double-blinded,
multi-center, placebo-controlled trial conducted in India in Fall 2000. The
study received Institutional Review Board approval from the Medical Center in
Bangalore,
India.

``The present clinical trial demonstrates the effectiveness of CMC to improve
functional independence in osteoarthritic sufferers,'' said Dr. Hesslink.
``These patients
experienced an overall increase in their knee range of motion as well as in
their ability to walk up stairs.''

Therapy for OA is primarily palliative (soothing) and based on using
analgesic or anti-inflammatory agents such as NSAID. Recognizing the need for
a therapy that
would be safe, efficacious and actually modify the course of OA, Imagenetix,
a San Diego-based nutritional supplement research and development company,
set out
to develop such a product. The result is CMC, a proprietary blend of
naturally occurring fatty acids.

``We're pleased that our efforts to develop a natural supplement such as CMC
for osteoarthritis have proven successful,'' said Bill Spencer, president of
Imagenetix.
``With the baby boomer generation getting older and becoming more susceptible
to this chronic condition, we believe our product can make a profound
difference in
people's quality of life.''

The results of the study are significant because one in six Americans
currently suffers with symptoms of arthritis. By age 40, about 90% of all
people have X-ray
evidence of the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA).

The 68-day study included 100 patients, equally divided among males and
females between the ages of 37 to 77, who had been diagnosed with
osteoarthritis for an
average of nine years. The patients received either daily capsules of CMC or
a vegetable oil placebo. Data indicate CMC to be effective and statistically
significant in
alleviating pain, improving knee flexibility and enhancing the quality of
life for arthritis sufferers.

During the study period, participants were evaluated by the same physician,
who performed clinical assessments for levels of pain, flexion, and joint
changes. Visits
also included questionnaires that included participant and physician input
and functional capacity scales for the treatment effects in three major
areas: pain, range of
motion and physical activity indicators.

According to Dr. Raj Barathur, whose contract research organization --
ClinCyte -- conducted the study, there were no adverse responses reported in
the study.
``While further studies may be needed, this preliminary study shows that CMC
may be a viable new option for osteoarthritis and related joint and health
problems,''
concluded Barathur.
