The Hemocode System to be available in the United States


TORONTO,  Gemoscan Canada, Inc.(TSX-V:GES) (MUN:1GE) ("Gemoscan" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that the Hemocode(TM) System and its other food sensitivity management programs are expected to be available in the United States in the third or fourth quarter of this 2014. Working with its exclusive laboratory partner, American Metabolic Testing Laboratories, Inc., ("AMTL"), Gemoscan has completed work on the laboratory protocols necessary to fulfill its diet and nutrition programs in the U.S; and has concluded an agreement with AMTL to do so.

The Hemocode(TM) System like the Company's other programs is a personalized medically supervised nutritional program that promotes dietary well being. It uses portions of Gemoscan's patented technology, and proprietary services to provide consultation and recommendations intended to simplify the management of food sensitivities. Hemocode(TM) is offered by over 600 pharmacies and medical clinics in Canada as a complementary medical choice. Hemocode(TM) and the Company's other food sensitivity management programs are used as adjuncts in conventional medical practices, incorporating complementary modalities and therapies with a focus on lifestyle and wellness. A statistically significant base of practitioners and those engaging with Hemocode(TM) have reported improved dietary and overall wellness satisfaction.

"Over the past year we have had the opportunity to work with American Metabolic Testing Laboratories, Inc., and its founder Dr. Emil Schandl to finalize our U.S laboratory protocols, and are now eager to make our unique food sensitivity and dietary wellness programs available throughout the United States," said Brian Kalish, CEO of Gemoscan.

American Metabolic Testing Laboratories, Inc., was founded in 1995 by Dr. Emil K. Schandl, PhD., M.Sc., and is accredited by CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988) and COLA (the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation). AMTL provides the CA Profile(TM) (Cancer Profile) and Longevity Profile(TM) testing for doctors and patients throughout the United States and around the world including Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and more.

In addition to a number of other certifications, and distinctions, Dr. Schandl is a Fellow at the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry; a Specialist in Clinical Chemistry with the American Society of Clinical Pathologists; a Clinical Chemist with the National Registry in Clinical Chemistry, a Clinical Laboratory Director in: FL, NY and CA and is a past member of Sigma Xi Scientific Society of America.

"At American Metabolic Testing Laboratories, Inc., we are excited to be fulfilling the Hemocode(TM) System with Gemoscan. Hemocode's panels complement our existing tests, especially our CA Profile(TM) (Cancer Profile) and Longevity Profile(TM), as we understand that food sensitivity may be a contributing factor to the development of cancer in individuals," said Dr. E.K. Schandl, PhD., Laboratory Director at American Metabolic Testing Laboratories. Dr. Schandl continued "While we have been approached by a number of companies in the past for, cooperation, Gemoscan is the first we have agreed to venture with; and we look forward to continuing to contribute to the health and welfare of our fellow citizens through a successful relationship in providing the Hemocode(TM) System with Gemoscan."
