HealthPhone Now Online
E-Medicine/Tele-Medicine Site Now Open
Now it's official - the world's largest Chinese
e-medicine/tele-medicine online resource is officially
open.
HealthPhone.com is the only website in the world,
where healthcare professionals can videoconference
in real-time with patients. Using the latest in
Voice/Video over Internet Protocol (VVoIP) technology,
all one needs is a multimedia computer with an
Internet connection and a webcam to see a HealthPhone.com
healthcare professional.
HealthPhone.com is a full-service Chinese and
alternative medical site - or rather sites. HealthPhone.com
is actually two sites, a professional site where
healthcare professionals can talk shop and an
all-purpose consumer site, where everyone is always
welcome to share in the experiences and knowledge
of living longer, healthier lives, through Chinese
and alternative methods of healing. Currently,
both sites are available in English and Chinese,
however, as HealthPhone.com expands worldwide,
so too do the many languages - coming soon expect
to see Italian, German, French and other translations.
Seeing a healthcare practitioner in real-time
is just one of the many features of HealthPhone.com.
The website is a virtual resource for Chinese
and alternative medicine, packed with thousands
of suggested healing methods for treating some
of the most common and most serious medical conditions.
All the information on HealthPhone.com is prepared
by some of the most respected and well-known professionals
in their respective fields - from Chinese Medicine
Doctors (CMDs), to licensed acupuncturists and
herbs' specialists, to western Medical Doctors
- HealthPhone.com provides only the finest quality
information from those in the know.
"We're very pleased our with our new HealthPhone.com,"
said Paul Li, President and CEO of E-Tech Canada,
the company which manages the HealthPhone Corp.
"HealthPhone.com's unique features and services
will set the standard for e-medicine and tele-medicine.
Now, people can see a doctor whenever they need
to, from anywhere around the world - all they
need is to go to HealthPhone.com."
HealthPhone.com officially launched at a successful
gala buffet lunch on October 28, where mayors
and business executives - some from as far away
as China - witnessed the birth of a new era in
healthcare.
Our experts are available to answer any questions
about tele-medicine, e-medicine, Traditional Chinese
Medicine, or specific questions about HealthPhone.com.

HealthPhone.com Announces
Partnership
with China's Largest Pharmaceutical Company
HealthPhone.com is proud to officially announce
a joint partnership with Sanjiu Medical and Pharmaceutical
Co., Ltd. - China's largest pharmaceutical company.
The joint partnership grants Canada's HealthPhone
Corporation exclusive marketing rights to Sanjiu's
most important new product; Herbal Granules Extract
in North America.
"Single Chinese Herbal Granules Extract
is an innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine,"
said Mr. Richard Liu, CCO of Sanjiu Medical and
Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. "It is made from
top quality, genuine raw herbs through extraction
and processing by means of modern technology.
This maintains the quality and taste of the raw
herbs as well as the medical efficacy. The granules
are extremely easy to store, convenient to use,
economical and safe. Most important is that decoction
is not necessary. Just add hot water to the granules
and drink."
"This product is easier to dispense for
pharmacists, because it is clean and the granules
can be quantified," said Mr. Paul Li, CEO
and President of E-Tech Canada Ltd. and HealthPhone
Corporation. "More importantly, it is effective
and convenient for the patient. I think this is
a milestone in the modernization and popularity
of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I predict that
these granules will occupy a big market share,
when compared with traditional raw herbal material."
The management of both companies will officially
sign the contract making the deal official, at
the HealthPhone.com Grand Opening Ceremony, on
September 28, 2000. HealthPhone.com's launch begins
with a cocktail reception at 11:30am, followed
by demonstrations of acupuncture, Qi Gong and
tele-medicine at 12:30pm. The contract signing
will take place just before the all-you-can-eat
buffet lunch at 1:30pm.
The HealthPhone Corporation manages the world's
largest Chinese and alternative medicine resource
on the Internet, where both patients and healthcare
professionals can share their feelings, experiences
and knowledge, without the traditional constraints
of time, geography or economic class.
Sanjiu Medical and Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is
one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in
China. In 1999, the stock of the company was successfully
listed on the domestic A-Stock Market in China.
The company acquired 23 pharmaceutical enterprises
around China, in recent years. Sanjiu Medical
and Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has well over 1,000
products, from antibiotics to shark fins and through
dedicated research methods, is constantly making
new discoveries which increase their product line.
HealthPhone.com's launch will begin with a cocktail
reception at 11:30am, followed by demonstrations
of acupuncture, Qi Gong and tele-medicine at 12:30pm
and an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch at 1:00pm.
All the events take place on September 28, 2000
at the Embassy Suites Hotel, located at 8500 Warden
Avenue, in Markham, Ontario, Canada.
The media is welcome to join us at the Grand
Opening lunch. Photo opportunities are available
during the demonstrations and interviews with

informal discussion during lunch, at which time
the media may ask questions of our spokesperson.

website on September 28.
Tele-medicine is the ability to see a medical
professional remotely over great distances and
will be demonstrated live at the opening ceremony,
using the latest in Voice and Video over Internet
Protocol technology.
Qi Gong (pronounced "chee gong") is
a form of Chinese exercise which encompasses a

means work, self-discipline, achievement or mastery.

known as Qi Gong. Qi Gong has been used to heal
everything from arthritis, Cancer, diabetes, liver
disease even Parkinson's disease.
Qi Gong Master Dr. Ben Wu, a Chinese Medicine
Doctor, will be performing his ancient art live,
creating numerous photo opportunities for the
press. Backed by over 25 years of experiences,
Dr. Wu has served as both a clinical supervisor
and a teacher of Qi Gong in China, Japan, Germany,
Austria and Canada. He has a Master's degree in
Qi Gong and Acupuncture.
Acupuncturist Dr. Adam Chen will also be performing
at the opening celebrations on September 28. He'll
demonstrate acupuncture on an actual patient,
live, presenting more photo opportunities for
the media. Dr. Chen is a Chinese Medicine Doctor
with a Ph.D. and he is a lecturer for The Michener
Institute for Applied Health Science.
Acupuncture is the art of managing the body's
flow of energy through specific pressure points
with needles. Acupuncture is actually quite common

pain, constipation, anxiety, toothache, back pain,
headaches, poor vision, even the common cold.

Alternative Medicine Treats
Incurable Diseases
Eastern Medicine Aids West
People suffering from incurable diseases are turning
in large numbers to Eastern alternative therapies,
such as acupuncture, acupressure, and Chi Gong.
These and other Traditional Chinese Medicinal
approaches to healing have been around for several
thousand years, but until recently, haven't been
widely used outside their native China.
"More and more people are picking up Traditional
Chinese Medicine techniques in place of modern
Western ones," said Paul Li, President and
CEO of E-Tech Canada, which runs the Healthphone
Corporation. "Not that there is anything
wrong with western medicine, but in many cases
where modern science hasn't been able to help,
often alternative treatments like Chinese medicine
have helped."
Cancer, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS),
Arthritis, even Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are just
some of the many serious and incurable diseases
which have been treated effectively and successfully
by Chinese medicine.
"Western medicine has many band-aid-type
solutions, quick-fixes which hide or slow the
symptoms, but that's not a cure," said Li.
"Although Chinese medicine can't cure everything,
the approach is very different and provides a
very distinct and solid alternative to modern
science."
Unlike Western medicine which breaks everything
down into units, Eastern philosophies view everything
as interconnected wholes. While Western medicine
sees the body as composed of organs, glands and
other individual parts and systems, Eastern Chinese
medicine sees the body holistically.
As more people turn to alternative medicines,
there is an increased need for accurate, reliable
and easily accessible information. E-Tech Canada
has created a new website, which provides a complete
reference source on Chinese and alternative medicines
- Healthphone.com.
"Through Healthphone, we hope to make choosing
Chinese medicine an easy, effective and safe alternative
to conventional cures," said Li. "All
information on our site comes from practicing
professionals and has been thoroughly checked
and double checked for accuracy."
Over 5,000 Chinese treatments for over 130 common
ailments are listed on Healthphone.com, making
it the most comprehensive Chinese medicine site
in the world. The site also makes use of the latest
in tele-medicine technologies, allowing visitors
to videoconference in real-time with Chinese doctors
and other healthcare practitioners.
After extensive testing, Healthphone.com will
officially roll out on September 28, 2000. A n
opening ceremony - complete with demonstrations
of e-medicine, Qigong, Acupuncture and more at
Embassy Suites Hotel, in Markham, Canada.
HealthPhone.com's launch will begin with a cocktail
reception at 11:30am, followed by demonstrations

consumer site for everyone else. Both sites are
available in English and Chinese, but coming soon,
expect to see French, German, Italian and other

Unlike most websites, which survive solely on

an International Trade Centre, a Marketplace showcase,
practitioner wholesale shopping, an online medical
office and many others," said Paul Li, President
and CEO of E-Tech Canada. "HealthPhone.com's
business model is designed to generate steady

HealthPhone.com Seeks
Partners
Among Practitioners, Patients and Resources for
Innovative Network in Chinese and Alternative
Medicine
Expected to be in full operation by June 2000,
HealthPhone.com is intended to be the largest
and most comprehensive website for Chinese and
Alternative health information, resources, products
and services. The site will make it possible for
anyone with an Internet connection to have access
to quality alternative medicine information, products
and services, and for widely separated healthcare
professionals and patients to come together and
experience all of the credible components of alternative
health services available around the world.
An integral part of HealthPhone.com’s concept
is an audio-visual "Online Doctor" consultation
and advice service that uses our proprietary Internet
Telephony software as the communications medium,
a platform that also provides a meeting place
for professionals and patients. An invitation
is therefore extended to all practitioners of
Chinese and Alternative medicines and Doctors
of Western medicine to indicate their interest
in becoming partners in the rising trend towards
using Alternative channels to deliver a more effective
healthcare.
E-Tech Canada Ltd. President Paul Li is building
what will become the largest global resource network
for Chinese and Alternative medicine, and his
vision for HealthPhone.com is to deliver this
specialty’s expertise, knowledge, information
and services on a global scale. Using the Internet's
latest audiovisual technology, the site’s
services will provide fast, simple, user-friendly
navigation to the information and the professionals
without the constraints of time, country, culture
or distance.
With the cooperation of vendors and practitioner
partners, part of the site will be a "MegaMall"
of over-the-counter products such as health food,
dry food, herbs, and medicinal plants and formulas.
These products will be made available with guarantees
of the lowest prices, highest quality and online
descriptions (where appropriate). An instant electronic
Help Line is planned to answer most visitors'
common questions
Interactive multimedia presentations and movies
which present the facts and information about
Chinese and Alternative medicine are a distinctive
aspect of the site.
Of special interest will be presentations of
self-learning programs for sequences of learned
Chinese exercises (like Tai Chi) such as "Xiang
Gong", which is widely believed to have beneficial
effects on several medical conditions.
A centralized worldwide Directory is planned
of affiliated doctors, practitioners, associations,
organizations, societies and suppliers with skills
and products in Chinese and Alternative medicine.
This convergence of partnered resources will help
to generate a synergy in what is now a somewhat
diverse and fragmented Alternative medicine community.
