2. We refer to your response to comment 6. Please provide us schedules of the underlying calculations of the gains and losses on the debenture conversions. Provide explanation about how you determined the amounts presented on those schedules. Show us how you measured the fair value of the stock issued in satisfaction of the notes. If you used other than the quoted market price of the shares on the conversion dates explain why your method conforms to GAAP.

Response: The last paragraph of Footnote 9 has been expanded as follows: ---------

During the year ended December 31, 2004 in accordance with the applicable convertible debentures agreement, the Company issued 103,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of approximately $0.0109 in connection with the conversion of notes payable of $505,060, including $166,240 of accrued interest, and recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $620,730. Other conversions produced net losses of $250, for a total of $620,980. A balance of $102,977 is being carried for this debenture on the Company's financial records as of December 31. 2004.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, in accordance with the applicable convertible note payable agreement, the Company issued 320,830,452 shares of common stock at conversion prices of approximately $0.0021 in connection with the conversion of notes payable. These shares were issued to three debenture holders for a total value of $658,393 including accrued interest of $67,000. At the end of 2003 the Company repaid and retired two debentures for approximately $255,811 in cash; this was accounted for as approximately $210,000 in principal and accrued interest of approximately $45,000. The balance of these two debentures on the Company's financial records was more than the repayment amount, resulting in a gain on retirement of debentures of $40,171. Other such retirements created net gains of $24,721, for a total of $64,892 for the year.

The following table summarizes these transactions:

Statements of Cash Flows, page F-4 ----------------------------------

3. Disclosure on page F-9 indicates that you transferred to consultants approximately 14.5 million shares of GenoMed stock with a fair value of $390,366. Tell us why the operating section of the cash flow statement does not present a non-cash charge for the fair value of the shares transferred. Either revise or explain why your presentation is appropriate under SFAS 95.

Response: ---------

We have revised the detail relating to the shares of GenoMed stock that were issued for services: 4,571,000 shares were transferred to consultants for services at a value of $290,839. The operating section of the revised cash flow statement ( See Exhibit A) presents a non-cash charge for the fair market value of $290,839.

An additional 9,900,000 shares of GenoMed were allocated as reserve for services at a value of $693,000. In the third quarter, those 9,900,000 shares were restored to the investment inventory. Anticipating the reversal of this transaction, we charged other comprehensive income so as not to distort operating results.

We believe that this presentation conforms to SFAS 95.

The following is the proposed changes to Footnote 1, under the Marketable Securities section, to clarify this issue:

Available-for-sale securities consist of securities in GenoMed and are carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of marketable securities was determined based on available market price information on the dates of transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company transferred 4,571,000 shares valued at $290,839 to consultants in exchange for services. An additional 9,900,000 shares of GenoMed were allocated as reserve for services at a value of $693,000.

4. As a related matter, confirm that the $293,347 identified as "Investment in GenoMed" is an actual cash sale. If these shares were not sold for cash, either appropriately revise the cash flow statement or explain why the existing presentation is appropriate under SFAS 95.

Response: --------

The Statement of Cash Flows has been revised. See response to Comment 3 and Exhibit A.

5. Provide us roll-forwards from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 of the number of GenoMed shares and the fair value of those shares. Present transactions and changes in fair value in gross amounts by quarter.

6. You disclose that during the six months ended June 30, 2005 you issued 21 million shares for debentures. Show us how you measured the $21,000 fair value assigned to those shares. If you used other than the quoted market price of the shares on the conversion dates, explain why your method conforms to GAAP.

Response: ---------

The footnote disclosure of $21,000 is incorrect; it is only the par value of the transaction. The correct amount is $31,122, which includes $10,122 of APIC. This was correctly recorded in the financials, and footnote 8 has been revised to show the correct amount. This was calculated by formula prescribed in the original agreement at the issuance of the debentures, as follows:

The Conversion Price per share shall be the lesser of (i) seventy-five (75%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Common Stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market System, American Stock Exchange, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, the "Principal Market"), or such other principal market or exchange where the Common Stock is listed or traded, during the thirty (30) trading days prior to buy not including the issue date of the Note ("Maximum Base Price"); and (ii) eighty percent (80%) percent of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Common Stock on the Principal Market, or on any securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being listed or traded, during the ninety (90) trading days immediately prior to but not including the Conversion Date.

The issuance of 21,000,000 shares was based on a conversion rate of $.001482 for a total dollar amount of $31,122. This was acceptable to both parties and is consistent with valuation and disclosure of other similar transactions in prior periods.

ITEM 3, CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES, PAGE 10

7. You disclose that your controls and procedures are of limited effectiveness. Under Item 307 to Regulation S-B you should express a clear and unequivocal opinion about the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures. That is, you may state that disclosure controls and procedures are effective or you may state that disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. If you conclude that such controls and procedures are not effective you should also provide appropriate explanation.

Response: The following is the new beginning of Item 3. ---------

<PAGE>

Securities and Exchange Commission October 26, 2005 Page 6 of 6

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report, June 30, 2005). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

8. We see that the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days before the filing date of the quarterly report. Amend to disclosure management's conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report. Refer to Item 307 of Regulation S-B and Part II.F of "Management's Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Certification of Disclosure in Exchange Act Periodic Reports" (Release No. 33-8238).

Response: See response to Comment #7. ---------

    Response:  The last  paragraph  of Footnote 9 has been  expanded as follows:
    ---------

During  the year ended  December  31,  2004 in  accordance  with the  applicable
convertible  debentures  agreement,  the Company  issued  103,000,000  shares of
common stock at a conversion price of  approximately  $0.0109 in connection with
the  conversion  of notes  payable of  $505,060,  including  $166,240 of accrued
interest,  and  recorded  a loss  on  settlement  of  debt  of  $620,730.  Other
conversions  produced net losses of $250, for a total of $620,980.  A balance of
$102,977 is being carried for this debenture on the Company's  financial records
as of December 31. 2004.

During the year ended  December  31, 2003,  in  accordance  with the  applicable
convertible note payable  agreement,  the Company issued  320,830,452  shares of
common stock at conversion  prices of  approximately  $0.0021 in connection with
the  conversion of notes  payable.  These shares were issued to three  debenture
holders for a total value of $658,393 including accrued interest of $67,000.  At
the end of 2003 the Company repaid and retired two debentures for  approximately
$255,811 in cash; this was accounted for as approximately  $210,000 in principal
and  accrued  interest  of  approximately  $45,000.  The  balance  of these  two

        approximately  14.5 million shares of GenoMed stock with a fair value of
        $390,366.  Tell us why the operating  section of the cash flow statement

    Response:
    ---------

We have  revised the detail  relating  to the shares of GenoMed  stock that were
issued for  services:  4,571,000  shares were  transferred  to  consultants  for
services at a value of $290,839.  The operating section of the revised cash flow
statement ( See Exhibit A) presents a non-cash  charge for the fair market value

An additional 9,900,000 shares of GenoMed were allocated as reserve for services

operating results.

We believe that this presentation conforms to SFAS 95.

The  following  is the  proposed  changes to  Footnote  1, under the  Marketable
Securities section, to clarify this issue:

     Available-for-sale  securities  consist of  securities  in GenoMed  and are
     carried  at fair  value  with  the  unrealized  gain or  loss,  net of tax,
     reported  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income.  The fair value of
     marketable  securities  was  determined  based on  available  market  price
     information on the dates of transactions.  During the six months ended June

    4.  As a related matter, confirm that the $293,347 identified as "Investment
        in GenoMed" is an actual  cash sale.  If these  shares were not sold for

* Reserved shares were not issued in 2nd qtr. We had not returned said shares to
registrar at 6/30. Consequently, we could not verify that the shares had not
been issued. This amount will reverse in 3rd qtr. In order to not significantly
distort operating expense in two periods, we elected to put this on the balance
sheet, in other comprehensive income.

    6.  You  disclose  that during the six months ended June 30, 2005 you issued
        21 million shares for  debentures.  Show us how you measured the $21,000
        fair value  assigned to those shares.  If you used other than the quoted
        market  price of the shares on the  conversion  dates,  explain why your
        method conforms to GAAP.

    Response:
    ---------

The footnote disclosure of $21,000 is incorrect; it is only the par value of the
transaction. The correct amount is $31,122, which includes $10,122 of APIC. This
was  correctly  recorded in the  financials,  and footnote 8 has been revised to
show the  correct  amount.  This was  calculated  by formula  prescribed  in the
original agreement at the issuance of the debentures, as follows:

    The Conversion Price per share shall be the lesser of (i) seventy-five (75%)
    of the average of the three  lowest  closing bid prices for the Common Stock
    on the NASD OTC Bulletin  Board,  NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market,  NASDAQ National
    Market  System,   American  Stock  Exchange,  or  New  York  Stock  Exchange
    (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or
    market  for the  Common  Stock,  the  "Principal  Market"),  or  such  other
    principal  market or  exchange  where the Common  Stock is listed or traded,
    during the thirty (30)  trading  days prior to buy not  including  the issue
    date of the Note  ("Maximum  Base  Price");  and (ii) eighty  percent  (80%)
    percent of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Common
    Stock  on the  Principal  Market,  or on any  securities  exchange  or other
    securities  market on which the Common Stock is then being listed or traded,
    during the ninety (90) trading days  immediately  prior to but not including
    the Conversion Date.

The issuance of 21,000,000 shares was based on a conversion rate of $.001482 for
a total dollar  amount of $31,122.  This was  acceptable  to both parties and is
consistent with valuation and disclosure of other similar  transactions in prior
periods.

disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

    8.  We see that the Chief  Executive  Officer  and Chief  Financial  Officer
        evaluated disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days
        before the filing  date of the  quarterly  report.  Amend to  disclosure
        management's   conclusion  regarding  the  effectiveness  of  disclosure
        controls  and  procedures  as of the end of the  period  covered  by the
        quarterly  report.  Refer to Item 307 of Regulation S-B and Part II.F of
        "Management's  Reports on Internal Control Over Financial  Reporting and
