     I,  H.  Craig  Dees,  Ph.D.,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  Provectus
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., certify that:

     1.   I have  reviewed  this annual  report on Form  10-KSB/A  of  Provectus
          Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;

     2.   Based on my knowledge,  this annual report does not contain any untrue
          statement  of a  material  fact  or  omit to  state  a  material  fact
          necessary to make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances
          under which such  statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this annual report;

     3.   Based on my knowledge,  the financial statements,  and other financial
          information  included in this  annual  report,  fairly  present in all
          material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
          cash flows of the small  business  issuer as of, and for,  the periods
          presented in this annual report;

     4.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer  and  I are
          responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
          procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
          for the small business issuer and have:

          (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or caused such
               disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under our
               supervision,  to ensure that material information relating to the
               small business issuer,  including its consolidated  subsidiaries,
               is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
               during the period in which this annual report is being prepared;

          (b)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  small  business  issuer's
               disclosure  controls and  procedures and presented in this annual
               report our conclusions  about the effectiveness of the disclosure
               controls and  procedures,  as of the end of the period covered by
               this report based on such evaluation; and

          (c)  Disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in the  small  business
               issuer's internal control over financial  reporting that occurred
               during the small  business  issuer's most recent  fiscal  quarter
               (the small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of
               an annual report) that has materially affected,  or is reasonably
               likely to materially affect, the small business issuer's internal
               control over financial reporting; and.

     5.   The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer  and I have
          disclosed,  based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control
          over financial reporting,  to the small business issuer's auditors and
          the audit committee of small business  issuer's board of directors (or
          persons performing the equivalent function):

          (a)  all  significant  deficiencies  in the  design  or  operation  of
               internal  control over financial  reporting  which are reasonably
               likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's ability to
               record,  process,  summarize and report  financial  data and have
               identified for the small business  issuer's auditors any material
               weaknesses in internal controls; and

          (b)  any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant role in the small business
               issuer's internal controls.
