IG Living Extends Its Distribution to e-zine Readers and International Patients and Healthcare Providers

TEMECULA, Calif. -- FFF Enterprises Inc., a healthcare corporation based in Temecula, Calif., and its specialty pharmacy services division, NuFACTOR, have announced the launch of an online edition of IG Living magazine. IG Living is the only magazine in existence dedicated to patients who use immune globulin and to their healthcare providers. It was created to help inform the immune globulin community of product, treatment, reimbursement and lifestyle news. Immune globulin products are made from human plasma and used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, including many chronic immune system disorders.

"We are excited about offering IG Living online," said Patrick M. Schmidt, president and CEO of FFF Enterprises and NuFACTOR and publisher of IG Living. "The IG Living e-zine extends our distribution to readers who prefer an electronic edition and to international patients and care providers, giving more members of the IG community the opportunity to learn from and contribute ideas to the magazine."

IG Living launched its first bimonthly issue in February-March 2006 with an initial distribution of 25,000. IG Living is distributed free to patients and physician offices, including practices in immunology-allergy, neurology and hematology-oncology. Regular features include:

* articles from consumers treated with immune globulin

* IG clinical trials and other product and manufacturer news

* treatment options

* community and reimbursement news

* and resources for healthy living.

IG Living is a community service provided by FFF Enterprises and NuFACTOR. For more information and to subscribe, visit www.igliving.com or call 800-843-7477 x1143.
