Organization and Business.
Amarillo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company” or “ABI”), is a diversified healthcare company engaged in the discovery and development of pharmaceutical and biotech products.  Our goal is to introduce novel products that actively stimulate and rejuvenate the human body to combat disease and enhance the ability to heal.  We are an industry leader in the advancement of low-dose oral interferon as a therapeutic treatment for numerous indications such as Thrombocytopenia, Sjögren's syndrome, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and influenza, a potential multi-billion dollar market opportunity.  Low-dose oral interferon has been shown to have fewer side effects and is less costly than high-dose injectable interferon. Our management team is working with global partners to develop a non-toxic and inexpensive low-dose oral formulation of interferon-alpha for the benefit of patients and physicians worldwide.
 
ABI primarily operates through
three
divisions:  Pharmaceutical, Medical and Consumer.  The Pharmaceutical division leverages our extensive,
thirty
-year data library by applying the Company's experience in the use of low-dose oral interferon (IFN) to the treatment of neoplastic, viral, and autoimmune diseases. With a proprietary archive of over a hundred scientific and clinical data studies on various human and animal applications of low dose oral interferon, ABI seeks to engage in patent licensing and commercialization opportunities with global partners. The Medical division is focused on developing an innovative, state-of-the-art technology to treat metabolism related diseases such as Type
1
and Type
2
diabetes in Asia, in addition to licensed distribution of surgical wound care products.  The Consumer division includes a range of nutraceutical and food supplement products that utilize a unique liposomal delivery system.  ABI currently has offices in the United States and Taiwan.
