("Meridian") (OTCBB:MRDAF), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Belgium Medical Inc. ("MMI" or "the Company") will be attending the American Naturopathic Medical Association's ("ANMA") 23rd annual convention in Las Vegas to promote one of its feature medical diagnostic products: the Digital Pulse Analyzer ("DPA").

ANMA is aimed not only at individuals with Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.) or Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.M.D.), but includes a wide variety of other health care fields.

ANMA is recognized by the World Organization for Alternative Medicine as the primary organization representing naturopathic medicine in the United States.

The event is being held at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, with activities beginning Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at Sunday at 3:00 p.m. The Company will be showcasing its product at Booth 418, with a company representative giving a special one-hour speaking engagement on the features and benefits of the DPA. More about: Digital Pulse Analyzer ("DPA") The "DPA" accurately measures the elasticity of small and large arteries and provides health care practitioners with critical information regarding arterial aging. This FDA approved device is inexpensive, non-invasive, and can provide results in minutes. Accumulating evidence suggests that abnormalities in the pulsatile characteristics of arteries occur early in the disease process associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and can be favorably modified by therapeutic interventions. The Company feels that use of the "DPA" can help caregivers reduce cardiovascular disease in their patient populations through early detection and prevention, and ultimately assist to decrease the associated financial costs placed on the health care industry.
