News that drkoop.com, the online healthcare company, is looking for new sources of finance bolstered its sliding share price.

Shares reached $3.06, still far below the initial IPO offering of $9.00 and the company's all time high of $45.75.

The company - with 1.22 million registered users and chaired by the former U.S Surgeon General C. Everett Koop - has experienced a 30 per cent increase in subscribers since 1 January and remained confident they would still get Dr Koop's lifelong mission across - to persuade the public to take responsibility for its health.
