Introducing the World's First Health-Mediary Search Portal.

Birmingham, AL, October 20, 2000 --- Internet access of health information will soar to new heights on Friday with the official launching of FastHealth Corporation's Health-Mediary Search Portal (www.fasthealth.com). FastHealth is the first health-mediary search portal that provides users direct access to quantities of health websites from one reliable source. Those consumers seeking information about common and rare diseases, online drugstores, children's health issues, hospitals, medical journals, physician sites and other health-related topics can now begin their search at www.fasthealth.com.

Until now, online health consumers have had to independently search for health information from the thousands of health news sites, health content websites, broad-based search engines, university sites and health company sites. The quantity of health information available to the public has steadily increased making it difficult for any single user to adequately sort through. FastHealth's information team and technicians have reviewed and categorized thousands of these health websites in order to complete the search process for the user. Consumers seeking health information on the Internet are now able to turn to FastHealth.com as the definitive source for finding the best quality health-related websites in the shortest amount of search time.

FastHealth Corporation's CEO and Chairman, Kevin A. Foote, founded the company in early 1999. "We have all seen so much evolve with online technology and the health segment is no exception. To search for health information means that someone is in serious need. This need facilitates the importance of FastHealth's Health-Mediary Search Portal. Our cataloging of relevant health websites is revolutionizing the organizational process for patients and health consumers. This is a great day for those individuals desiring the comfort and support of additional health knowledge", says Foote.

Co-founding director of FastHealth Corporation is Dr. James R. Andrews, one of the world's foremost surgeons. He is internationally known and recognized for his scientific and clinical research. Dr. Andrews has contributed greatly to the initial concept, organization, and establishment of the first consumer health-mediary search portal in world.

A diversified group of high profile businessmen and health professionals from around the United States have joined with Foote and Andrews to initiate this exciting new hub for health and medical information. Acting board members of FastHealth Corporation include Ed Douglas, Former Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Earthlink Biz; Robert Ross, CEO of Xante' Corporation; Ben Beard, President of Beard Oil Company. CFO of the company is Gary Smith, former Senior Vice President of Finance and Operations of Parisians. Chief Marketing Officer is Alex Monroe. Other stockholders and advisory committee members include: Xante' Corporation, Ferrall Ryan, Founder of Reid-Rowell Laboratories, Inc., Larry D. Striplin, Jr., a Director of HealthSouth Corporation and other public companies, Jimmy Taylor, Sr., Co-Founder & CEO of The Banc Group, Ben Streepey, Vice President of Lexmark Corporation, and Harry Cooper, Director, Lexmark Corporation.
