Looks like this one is going to be pretty volatile.
The bounce players should have fun.

Note: The way I read it, there are 200MM shares authorized for GBIS, of which about 70MM have been spread around.
Two of the original Board members have quit. Each had 12MM shares, but apparently each of them shed 6MM to the new Board member. So the new guy has 12MM, leaving the two old guys with 6MM each to dump whenever their greed-factor is satisfied.
It's not a "..QBID..". But, you'll have to watch the trading pretty carefully.

Thanks.
It must have caught my eye when I was scanning the Pinks one day.
The Enermed device seems to fall into the 'magnet therapy' category, like the disk magnets that are used in blankets, vests, or patches "..As Seen On TV..". I haven't done much DD on it, but it seemed worthy of a board.
I had a buddy in VA who got hurt in a car wreck, and wore a little "..shocking.." device on his belt that 'tweaked' his back muscles to avoid cramping and related pain. Mild electro-shock and magnetic flux therapy seems to be growing as an alternative to drugs or surgery.
Cheap enough to qualify as a Casino Money acquisition currently.

ENERMED RESEARCH REPORTS
Research to date has focused on the use of the Enermed for the treatment of two chronic conditions for which conventional medicine has no solutions: multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine headaches.
The Company has undertaken a number of studies over the past five years.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Research
In 1996 we conducted a preliminary study of the effectiveness of the Enermed for the symptoms of MS. This research, conducted at the University of Washington in Seattle with partial funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), resulted in the following publications and presentations:
Richards TL, Lappin MS, Acosta-Urquidi J, Kraft GH, Heide AC, Lawrie FW, Merrill TE, Melton GB, Cunningham CA (1997). Double-blind study of pulsing magnetic field effects on multiple sclerosis. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 3(1): 21-29.

Paper presented at the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers Conference, Systems of Care in Multiple Sclerosis, Sep 5-7, 1997, Calgary, Alberta Canada. Abstract appears in Multiple Sclerosis, 3(3), 1997.

Holick and Ernst G. Jung, Eds., Boston: Kluwer Academic Publishers, pp 337-342.
The promising results of the preliminary University of Washington study laid the groundwork for a larger, second study conducted at three research sites across the USA. This larger study, also a double-blind, placebo controlled trial, was generously supported by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Three publications have resulted from this effort, including a journal article currently undergoing peer review:

Lappin MS, Lawrie FW, Richards TL, Kramer ED (2001). Effects of a pulsed electromagnetic therapy on multiple sclerosis fatigue and quality of life: A double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Under review.
Migraine Research
Our early research on the possible effectiveness of the Enermed for migraine headaches consisted of two patient surveys. Although the results are not as reliable as those obtainable from a carefully controlled clinical trial, they clearly demonstrated the promise of the Enermed as a preventive therapy for migraine sufferers.

We subsequently conducted a small, exploratory study of the effectiveness of the Enermed for women suffering from hormonally based migraines at clinical centers in Wisconsin and Virginia. What we learned paved the way for the development of a grant application we submitted to the NIH National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
This proposal was subsequently funded, allowing us to conduct our first controlled trial of the effectiveness of the Enermed for migraines.
Preliminary results were recently presented at a conference. A manuscript reporting the complete and final analyses is under preparation.

Other Applications
EMD is currently developing research protocols to capitalize on the growing interest in combining the Enermed therapy with neurofeedback in the treatment of depression. A pilot study presented at the 2000 Society for Neuronal Regulation conference suggested that this may be a very productive approach.

We expect to be able to report the results of additional studies in this area within the next year.
EMD Research Report #1
"Research on the Utility of the Enermed Device as a Treatment for Migraines"
prepared by Dr. Martha Lappin for Energy Medicine Developments (North America) Inc.
Background
For several years now, clinics in Great Britain have been treating migraine sufferers with a device known in North america as the Enermed, a device developed by the British engineer, Stephen Walpole. Enermed is a small, battery-powered device that emits a continuous, pulsed flow of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic energy. The device was developed after Walpole, who was subject to intense migraines himself, discovered that migraine sufferers tend to have lower than average levels of brainwave activity in the low frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Enermed device is worn close to the body and exposes the migraine sufferer to a continuous pulsed flow of energy in the deficient or low activity frequencies.
Walpole's personal experience, plus anecdotal data from several early case studies, suggested that exposure to this kind of electromagnetic energy reduced the incidence of migraines in chronic sufferers (Walpole, 1993). In 1988, a pilot study of the practical applications of electromagnetic therapy yielded similar results (Young, 1993). Young, an independent researcher from the Koestler Foundation in London, tracked a sample of 54 migraine sufferers for three months after they received one of Walpole's early versions of the Enermed device. She found that the average number of migraines reported by subjects dropped by half, from 1.2 to .6 per week, once they started wearing their devices. Pain levels and the average duration of subjects' headaches also dropped significantly. The treatment effects were immediate and enduring.
The results of Young' s study support the potential practical application of electromagnetic therapy in the treatment of migraines. However, before launching Enermed in North America, the directors of Energy Medicine Developments (North America) Inc. requested that users in Great Britain be polled to determine their perceptions of effectiveness of the most recent version of the device. The procedure and results of this study are reported below.
Research Method:
During the summer of 1994, Walpole's company mailed out one page surveys to approximately 1,200 individuals who had purchased Enermed devices from clinics in the United Kingdom in the preceding fifteen months. By mid-August, approximately 500 surveys had been returned, for a response rate of 42%. A total of 269 of the respondents had been treated for migraines; the rest had been treated for one or more of a variety of other disorders. This report addresses results for the migraine patients only.
The survey asked respondents to use a 10 point scale to indicate how they felt before and after they started wearing their Enermed devices ("1" = "perfectly well" , "10" = "extremely bad"). High scores for the migraine sample are assumed to reflect the seriousness of migraine related symptoms (nausea, light sensitivity, etc.), as well as the severity of the patients' headaches.
Over half (58%) of the respondents had pre-treatment well-being scores in the "extremely bad" range (9 or 10). We call these 155 individuals the "severe symptom" group. Just over one third (36%) had pre-treatment scores of 7 or 8; these 96 individuals constitute the "serious symptom" group. The "moderate symptom" group consists of the 14 people (5%) with pre-treatment scores at or near the midpoint of the scale (5 or 6). Four respondents had pre-treatment scores in the positive end of the scale (2 to 4) and were dropped from the analyses. This resulted in a final analysis sample of 265 moderate to severe migraine sufferers.
Research Results:
The large majority of respondents (82%) reported at least a modest improvement (two points or more) in their overall well-being after receiving the Enermed device. More striking, however, is large number of individuals who experienced dramatic improvements after treatment. In the Severe Symptom group, for example, over one fourth (28%) indicated that their migraine symptoms virtually disappeared once they started using Enermed - pain scores dropped from the very highest levels (9-10) to the very lowest (1-2) levels possible. Another 32% in this group experienced a 5 to 7 point improvement, with post-treatment scores in the "mild discomfort" range (3-4). Overall, then, fully 60% of the patients with the most debilitating symptoms prior to treatment experienced dramatic improvements after receiving the Enermed device. Another 25% reported modest improvements, and only 15% failed to improve at all.
Post-Treatment Symptom Ratings for Patients with Severe/Serious Pre-Treatment Symptoms
SEVERE
9-10) SERIOUS
(7-8) MOD
(5-6) MILD
(3-4) NEGLIGIBLE
(1-2)
SEVERE Migraine Group (n=155) 15% 8% 17% 32% 28%
SERIOUS Migraine Group (n=96) 4% 12% 15% 39% 29%
Comparable results were obtained for the 96 patients in the Serious Symptom group (those with pre-treatment scores of 7 or 8). Over two thirds (68%) of the respondents in this group reported well-being levels in the positive end of the scale after treatment, including 39% who indicated only mild discomfort after treatment and 29% who said they felt "perfectly well" once they started using Enermed. The small number of respondents (n=14) seeking treatment for only moderate symptoms render the results for this particular group somewhat unreliable; the trend, however, was similar to that observed for the more serious migraine sufferers.
Discussion and Recommendations:
The results of this study are very encouraging. Overall, almost two thirds of the respondents reported substantial improvements in their well-being after they started using Enermed. The results do not reveal how Enermed alleviates suffering, nor can this research offer clues as to why treatment failed to work for about 15% of the sample. Combined with similar findings from previous research, however, the results do attest to the promise electromagnetic therapy holds for the typical migraine patient. The strength, consistency, and apparent duration of the effect make it highly unlikely that the improvements reported by respondents simply reflect a placebo effect or retrospective bias.
Sampling error is probably the most serious concern with respect to the validity of the research. Although a response rate of 42% is considered respectable for a mail out survey, it does not eliminate the possibility that survey respondents are not representative of the population of migraine sufferers seeking treatment. Only follow-up research can establish with certainty that the success rates reported here are typical, and thus likely to be replicated.
Additional data on patient characteristics and symptom patterns would also be useful, both to further our understanding of how the Enermed device works and to fine-tune efforts to program the most effective frequencies for individual patients. Currently, Enermed devices are programmed based on the results of a brain wave activity analysis and a largely anecdotal, but expanding, body of knowledge about the frequency ranges likely to be effective for individuals with particular symptoms or onset factors. This method works very well in many, but clearly not all cases. The key to more efficient diagnosis and treatment may lie in the systematic collection and analysis of personal and medical history data.
The ideal study would also include randomized assignment to blind treatment and control groups and/or provisions for assessing the impact of withholding treatment from patients for whom it appears to be successful. These research designs are very expensive, however, and likely to be impractical outside of large, well-funded research laboratories.
In the meantime, efforts to make this novel, promising treatment available to a wider audience appear warranted.
Exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation has already helped hundreds of migraine sufferers in Great Britain. Distribution of the Enermed in North America, combined with serious efforts to better understand when and how it is most effective, could alleviate suffering for many of the millions of migraine victims in Canada and the US.

The Enermed is a battery operated, pulsed electromagnetic field generator
Anything's possible, but there have been entirely too many false starts, bogus Tactical Leaks to the favored, and enough bovine fecal matter distributed to fertilize a couple of Sections of corn.

Mooney Airplane Company Has Record Number of Visitors At AOPA Convention in Philadelphia and More Than 60 Million MASG Shares Trade in Last Two Days
KERRVILLE, Texas, Oct 31, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mooney Airplane Company, wholly owned subsidiary of Mooney Aerospace Group Ltd. (OTCBB:MASG), announced today that a record crowd had visited its booth at the annual AOPA meeting at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
More than 6,000 visitors attended the AOPA meeting yesterday. According to Nicolas Chabbert, Mooney Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales: "This is the biggest turnout we have had at AOPA for years. The amount of interest in our airplanes is the highest it has been for years. We have a great booth at the show, and we have already gone through more boxes of t-shirts in the first two days than I expected to give away during the whole show. There is a constant heavy flow of visitors through our booth all day long."
Terry Freeman, Director of Public and Investor Relations, reported: "This has been a record week for volume in Mooney's stock. More that 60 million shares traded Wednesday and Thursday. I think this is an indication that the investment community is starting to take an interest in the company. We have received a lot of calls from investors and stockbrokers seeking more information about us, and I welcome the chance to tell the Mooney story to them. A lot of the people coming to our booth at AOPA have asked about our stock as well as our airplanes."
"Many pilots have inquired about Mooney's new initiatives for customer service, particularly our emphasis on improving parts deliveries and providing overhauls and maintenance services from our plant in Kerrville, Texas," reports Todd Bates, Mooney's Director of Customer Service. "We are letting people know that I am the new kid on the block, and I am making sure each Mooney owner is well taken care of. The AOPA convention has been a great way to introduce pilots to our new concern for customer satisfaction."
J. Nelson Happy, Mooney's President, said: "AOPA is a great convention, and I hope pilots, aviation enthusiasts and investors will visit us today and tomorrow in Philadelphia. This has been a great week for Mooney. Last weekend we had a terrific turnout at the MAPA convention at Kerrville, where more that 424 Mooney owners flew in, and over 750 "Mooniacs" attended our barbeque, and now the tremendous interest in our planes at the AOPA convention tells me that the outlook for general aviation in general, and Mooney in particular, is improving for next year."
Mr. Chabbert commented: "Many pilots visiting us at the convention have told me that they know that Mooney is back as a company, and they are interested in all of the new developments that we introduced to our aircraft this year. We are sold out this month, and I think the rest of the year should be very strong for sales. I think we are really gaining sales momentum, and I attribute this to both our wonderful high performance airplane and to the tax incentives now available to buyers of new Mooneys."
(The AOPA convention at the Philadelphia Convention Center is open through November 1, 2003.)
Mooney Aerospace Group Ltd. is a general aviation holding company that owns Mooney Airplane Co., located in Kerrville, Texas.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Discloses Terms of Chariot Acquisition
BARTOW, Fla., Oct 29, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AACS) (ACS) today announced the terms of the acquisition of Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. (Chariot).
Daniel L. Hefner, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Commerce Solutions, Inc., stated, "We have prepared the 8-K filing for the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the pertinent details of the acquisition of Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc. We are confident that we will be able to capitalize on this investment in the very near future."
Chariot was acquired for a total purchase price of $360,000 in cash, preferred stock and assignment of a note receivable by American Commerce Solutions, Inc. to the seller. The cash portion of the deal is $150,000 payable over a 36-month period. The assigned note receivable was for a discounted amount of $150,000, which has been carried on the books of ACS for an extended period of time without substantial activity. The balance of $60,000 will be paid in preferred stock, convertible to restricted common stock.
The determination of a purchase price was made by specialists in the fabrication of fiberglass molds and steel jigs, determining the cost of recreation of the existing tooling. Qualified specialists in business valuation were asked to provide the ongoing business valuation.
"We can't express enough the value we see in the future of this operation as an asset to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. We are in the process of preparing new production facilities while trying to field the immediate demand for product. We are being inundated with inquiries and orders," Hefner stated. "The impressive aspect to this acquisition is that calls are being fielded daily from potential dealers who are anticipating higher production capability to keep up with demand and reduce back orders. We thought that substantially more effort would be required to generate this interest. We will be building expandable facilities for this and other fiberglass product manufacturing, just as previously discussed."
Hefner went on to say that his emphasis would continue to be on acquisitions, finance and investor relations. Experts in the production of fiberglass products and recycling have been hired to facilitate production and maximize earning potential.
"We continue to have great expectation from the fiberglass-related enterprises, but International Machine and Welding, Inc. is still the core of American Commerce Solutions, Inc.," Hefner remarked. "Our ongoing philosophy will be to continue to manage to the balance sheet and streamline our operations to maximize our resources of people and equipment. We trust that the direction and results that are being achieved will encourage our stockholders and future investors."

Snowplow Blade Demand has Cycle Country Producing at Full Capacity
MILFORD, Iowa, Oct 28, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (Amex: ATC), the outright leader in developing and manufacturing select custom-fitting accessories for the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and other diversified industry products, is increasing production due to the increasing demand for its industry leading snowplows. ATC has increased snow plow production by ten to twelve percent over last year while continuing production of its other lines of ATV accessories. Cycle Country is on pace for a record quarter, as the current order backlog is over twenty-five percent higher than last year.
Recent initiatives of management to increase the durability and the product features of their snowplow blades have been well received by the company's dealers and distributors. The manufacturing plant in Milford, Iowa, where an expansion of 28,000 square feet was completed earlier this year, has been running at full capacity since mid-September.

"We continue to be the only manufacturer that stands behind our snow plow blades with a lifetime warranty. Our product improvements have distanced ourselves from the competition and we are seeing the results in our customers' orders."
A recent AG Edwards survey reports that ATV sales were up 11 percent in 3Q03. The increase of orders for additional accessories has reflected that trend. With ATV owners realizing the utility of these vehicles, demand for Cycle Country's snowplows and other ATV attachments has materially increased.

Aero Marine Engine to Relocate to State-of-the-Art Production Facility; Company Headquarters and Design Center Moving from California to New York
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct 29, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Aero Marine Engine, Inc., (OTCBB:ARMR.OB) - News - A developmental stage company which has acquired the rights to the Dyna-Cam engine, announced today that it will be relocating the Company's headquarters from Torrance, California to Ronkonkoma, New York. This site is currently the home to Perma-Tune Electronics (OTCBB:PTUN.OB) of which Aero Marine shares commonality of ownership and is controlled by the same principal shareholders.
Aero Marine will occupy approximately 27,500 square feet in Perma-Tune Electronics' manufacturing facility and engineering studios. The Perma-Tune facility enables Aero Marine to have instant access to state-of-the-art color 3-dimensional cad cam systems that will expedite the final configuration of the engine. These powerful engineering tools will allow the combined engineering department to fully simulate the engine and plasma drive ignition systems.
During the transition period, steps have been taken to move a number of assembled engines to the new facility so that there is no delay in the final stages of testing. These decisions will expedite the finalization of design for the Dyna-Cam Engine as well as mating the Perma-Tune Plasma Drive ignition to the engine.
According to Garth Bailey, chief executive officer of Aero Marine Engine,"This move will accelerate the final development of the Dyna-Cam Engine. The facility will be adjacent to our venture partner Perma-Tune Electronics' main production and engineering facilities. As previously announced, Perma-Tune is advancing $1,500,000 of long term credit to Aero Marine and, as part of this credit, Perma-Tune has expanded its production facility, purchased production equipment and will increase its engineering department. It is anticipated that these alterations will be completed in January 2004 at which time the plant will ramp up to produce up to 100 Dyna-Cam engines per week."
Additionally, both companies' executive and marketing teams, as well as scientists and engineers will be present at the Miami International Boat Show to jointly showcase the Dyna-Cam engine. Considering the engine on display is "static", arrangements are also being made where upon request, the operating Dyna-Cam / Perma-Tune engine can be demonstrated within close proximity to the Boat Show.
About Aero Marine Engine, Inc.
The Dyna-Cam engine is an internal combustion engine where the pistons drive a cam to generate power to the main shaft. The main shaft is in a parallel direction to piston movement, without connecting rods or crankshaft. The engine has approximately 40% fewer moving parts than a conventional internal combustion engine, has a greater power to weight ratio, produces high torque at low rpm, operates with less vibration, and is lighter than the competition.
