HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 10, 2000

Highlighting an extensive spring and summer lecture schedule, Dr. Stephen Levine, CEO of Scottsdale Scientific (OTCBB:STDS), addressed healthcare practitioners at Regent's Park College, London. The seminar was sponsored by Nutri-Link, Ltd., a leading distributor of nutritional supplements to the professional market in the U.K. The daylong format gave Dr. Levine opportunity to review a wide range of topics and introduce new products in the Allergy Research Group line.

While in England Dr. Levine also met with other distributors and clinicians, resulting in further invitations to lecture again next year in Europe. Of special note, preliminary discussions were held with Dr. Richard Dixey of Phytopharm PLC (LSE:PYM), a U.K. based pharmaceutical company with interest in the proprietary herbal formulas being developed by Scottsdale with Dr. Ba Hoang, M.D., Ph.D.

On the seminar

Michael Ash, B.Sc. D.O., N.D., Executive Director of Nutri-Link, Ltd. comments, "We are proud to represent Allergy Research Group in the U.K. and were most excited to present this workshop with Dr. Levine for our customers. He weaves theory and research into novel and comprehensible approaches that, using the products we have available, create successful treatment protocols. Providing our practitioners with a comprehensive range of new tools and ideas for treating their patients is a key element to expanding and retaining our customer base. We have had quite a lot of feedback from our customers thanking us for providing this opportunity. The seminar has already generated a substantial increase in sales and interest in Allergy Research Group products."

Dr. Levine met extensively with Dr. Ash to discuss marketing and sales plans to support Nutri-Link's efforts on behalf of ARG in the U.K. "I am very impressed with the business that Mr. Ash has created. At this time, Nutri-Link stands to do almost double the business they did with us last year. Europeans are historically known for their greater acceptance and use of natural products and they are an audience sophisticated enough to appreciate the superior quality of our line. I plan to come back to meet with our customers here again soon," said Levine.

The U.K., along with the U.S.A., has seen a considerable growth in interest from the public in the use of dietary supplements and other non-conventional health programs. Datamonitor, which in 1996 estimated the U.K. market size for supplements at $178 million per year, extrapolated their research to 2001 and anticipate a conservative growth rate of 2.6% per year, producing a total gross recovery of $210 million.
