Graham Hancock and Lorna Byrne in conversation

2013-07-19T18:20:00.001-03:00

Published on Jun 27, 2013
In this fascinating dialogue, two bestselling authors and explorers of the spiritual realm discuss the big questions at the heart of their latest books: Is there a battle between Good and Evil? Why are some people drawn to the dark side? Do we only see a fraction of reality? Do angels really walk amongst us and what would it take to see them? How much do the daily choices we each make affect the positive future of the universe? Also discussed is the influence of angels and demons on human affairs, the threat posed by science for limiting our spiritual experience and the power of the internet as a tool of global awakening.

Investigator of ancient mysteries, Graham Hancock's latest supernatural adventure novel War God: Nights of the Witch tells the story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, exploring the powerful demonic forces behind this devastating clash of civilizations. "Angel Seer" Lorna Byrne is the author of three international bestsellers including her latest Sunday Times Bestseller, A Message of Hope from the ANGELS which shows how we can be supported by angels to lead happier, more fulfilled lives.

'Increases in extreme weather, food prices and illness: the unspoken connection'

Published on Apr 6, 2013
This public presentation has been created to introduce the topic of geoengineering to those with limited or no knowledge of the subject. It therefore provides an overview of this lesser known area of science. The talk entitled 'Increases in extreme weather, food prices and illness: the unspoken connection' was held in Trent, Sherborne, Dorset (UK) on 27th March 2013 in front of an 80 strong audience. The 'questions and answers' session lasted 90 minutes and has been excluded from the clip for manageability. The audience consisted of members of the public; it appeared that very few people were aware of geoengineering let alone the science and political issues underpinning this vast topic. A multitude of periphery subjects were also discussed during the Q&A session, leaving many with much to consider...

"I am a doctoral researcher at University of Reading (UK) looking a domestic electrical loads, when I stumbled across the science of 'environmental manipulation', encompassing Geoengineering, Weather Modification and Military Operations - all of which pose a significant risk to natural systems. Period. Having investigated the climate change debate and become acquainted with 'the bigger picture' - delineated by topics such as politics, geopolitics, history, meteorology, sociology, economics, physics, metaphysics, quantum mechanics, medicine, law, military and many others - I concluded that something was wrong. In fact many 'things' are wrong with the version of reality that is presented to us by the mainstream media and government. It has taken over 1,500 research hours to comprehensively put together the pieces of the geoengineering puzzle, which pulls in all of the other subjects mentioned afore, it just does. The vast majority of people simply don't have the energy or time to investigate such overarching topics as geoengineering, thus many are left in the dark. Herein, I simply aim to shed some light on this murky area, for those at stage one of 'the journey'...

Thank you"

Glutathione and Seizures

2012-05-19T23:52:00.001-03:00

SEIZURES

Seizures are a group of neurological disorders typified by muscle contractions, twitching and partial or complete loss of consciousness. Specific symptoms depend on the precise location in the brain of chaotic bursts of electrical activity. Seizures range from violent, uncontrollable contractions of the whole body to a subtle and momentary “loss of contact” that may appear to be little more than daydreaming.
Seizures have been referred to as convulsions, fits and epilepsy, as well as by other names that do not accurately reflect the various disorders. Types of seizures include tonic-clonic (gland mal), absence (perit mal), complex-partial (psychomotor, temporal lobe), focal (Jacksonian), and status epilepticus (intractable fits). Not all seizures are epileptic. The most common type of seizure in very young children are called febrile seizures, caused by the rapid onset of fever. Other causes of seizures include stroke or may be a result of injury, tumors, meningitis, hypoglycemia, alcohol withdrawal or other health complications.
Epilepsy – a specific type of seizure with recurrent, unprovoked attacks – is however the most common type, affecting close to three mullion North Americans – about one in a hundred people, half of them children or adolescents. Of these, one-half fortunately grows out of the disorder.

Treatment

Recurrent seizures usually require medication with such oral anticonvulsants as Phenobarbital, valproic acid, phenytoin and carbamazine. Patients may need to take these drugs indefinitely. Unfortunately they are not a cure and can have many side effects, some severe.
Nutritional supplements are used in both conventional and complementary medicine. B-vitamins, particularly B6 (pyridoxine), are effective against certain seizures. Magnesium is also useful, especially in seizures related to high blood pressure. Selenium is used in epileptics, since deficiency of this mineral may intensify the frequency and severity of seizures.

FREE RADICAL DAMAGE IN SEIZURES

Seizures are typified by tremendous bioelectrical activity in the affected area of the brain that generates free radicals in large numbers. Convulsions that provoke loss of consciousness may be accompanied by breathing abnormalities and subsequent oxidative stress. When frequent and/or prolonged, this oxidative stress can damage brain cells. May studies show that lipid peroxidation (a result of free radical formation) can lead to neuronal damage of destruction of these neurological cells. Moreover, the higher the level of oxidative stress in these tissues, the harder it is to treat. Patients respond less effectively to medication when the ongoing injury and nerve damage provokes further epileptic activity. Canadian researchers at the University of 
Calgary have even suggested that this continual free radical damage may even result in certain brain tumors. 

GLUTATHIONE LEVELS IN SEIZURES

Considerable research has demonstrated that glutathione levels fall significantly in seizure conditions. What is less clear is whether this glutathione deficiency causes seizures, results from them, or both. Nevertheless, the total body glutathione levels of seizure patients are measurable lower than those of normal individuals, and this GSH deficiency is even more noticeable in the affected areas of the brain.
Swiss scientists led by S.G. Mueller studied three groups: patients with active epilepsy, those with controlled epilepsy and non-epileptics. They determined that low glutathione levels more often lead to seizures than result from them. Other research supports this theory by showing how seizures are more frequent or severe when glutathione levels are experimentally lowered. Whatever the specific mechanism, the overall picture shows that glutathione levels fall lower and lower as seizures progress.
Worse still, not only are glutathione levels lowered by seizure activity, the drugs used to treat seizures themselves reduce glutathione levels even further. Japanese researchers H. Ono, A. Sakamoto and N. Sakura showed that both cabamazepine and phenytoin-popular anti-seizure medications-diminish glutathione and leave cells even more susceptible to oxidative damage. Turkish physiologists found the same of valproic acid, another anti-seizure drug. However, scientists studying childhood seizures at Harvard University found that glutathione levels improved after anticonvulsants were halted and patients were given selenium.

GLUTATHIONE PROTECTS FROM SEIZURES


Since glutathione directly affects the activity of brain cells, it is called neuromodulator, Japanese scientists K. Abe, K. Nakanishi and H. Saito protected animals from drug-induced seizures by injecting glutathione directly into the fluid of the brain and spinal cord. Canadians at Toronto Western Hospital showed that combined vitamin E and glutathione reduced the number of brain cells damaged after seizure activity. In Texas S.G. Jenkinson, J.M. Jordan and C.A. Duncan were able to protect laboratory animals from seizures and death by injecting them with glutathione and Italians at the University of Milan successfully prevented seizures caused by isoniazid-a tuberculosis medication-by administering patients with glutathione beforehand. 
Several scientists have used n-acetylcysteine (NAC, see chapter 4), a powerful glutathione precursor, to treat seizures, and Swedish researchers led by E. Ben-Manachem applied it to patients suffering from progressive myoclonic epilepsy-a particularly hard to treat disease that gradually destroys the nervous system. Patients given a daily dose of 6 grams showed marked improvements, and an American team from Gainesville, Florida used NAC, vitamin E, B2, zinc and selenium to treat this type of seizure, obtaining similar improvements.

CONCLUSION


Free radical formation and oxidative stress can be seen as both a cause and a result of seizures, and conditions that diminish glutathione levels-including the use of anti-seizure drugs themselves-may well lower glutathione levels as well. Since glutathione is also itself an anticonvulsant, it may be used as a complementary therapy to both treat and prevent seizures as well as to lessen the adverse effects of conventional drugs.

MONTREAL IMPACT

Great news!

If you have been following us on Facebook, by now you know that Immunotec is an official sponsor of the Montreal Impact Soccer team, first-year members of the MLS league, the most important soccer league in North America. Soccer fever has invaded Montreal with sellout crowds descending upon every home game. Of course, it helps that the team is winning! And, it is no surprise to us because the team is being fueled by Immunocal, Vitamin and Mineral Supplement, Probiotic with Cranberry and Omega-3 +CoQ₁₀ with Turmeric. They are walking testimonials to the power of our products.

And, there is more news. The owners of the team, the Saputo family, have built a brand new stadium to house the team. The Stadium will officially open June 16 and Immunotec will be there with two huge banners that will remain in the Stadium for the entire Soccer season! Stay tuned to see what these banners look like. In the meantime, we have just submitted our ad which appears on the Impact website. The ad should be up within days of publication of this edition of Immunocations. Go to http://www.impactmontreal.com.

ATHLETE’S PROFILE

We enjoy featuring the stories of professional athletes who are using Immunocal to enhance and optimize their competitive performance. In this issue, we would like to feature one of our own!

An Immunotec Consultant for the past 10 years, Jessica Lunshof is a beautiful 30 year-old, single mom of two great kids, Jordan and Brayden. She is a graduate nurse and an athlete. When Jessica was in second year University, she started taking Immunocal and Xtra Sharp to enhance her performance as she was a member of the Varsity soccer team. The team competed in the Nationals in BC and in Italy in a First Division tournament. Jessica was known on the field as the energizer bunny since her energy levels and stamina were unbeatable.

In 2009, Jessica’s life took a turn when she was in three separate car accidents and sustained a concussion during a soccer game. She was in a severe post-concussive state. She had to give up soccer, nursing and exercising to basically just rest and repair her brain.

Fast forward to 2012, at 85% recovered; Jessica decided to start training for an Ironman event. She swims three to four times a week, bikes 60k, two to three times a week and runs four miles daily.

She is taking the E-motion gel packs on her rides and she absolutely feels the benefit of taking them every 30 minutes during training. She takes Xtra Sharp in the morning and two packs of Immunocal post-workout. She accompanies that with vitamins and probiotics. (Sounds like the Impact Soccer team members!) Jessica is signed up for the June 24th Half Ironman 70.3k at Mt Tremblant, Quebec and on July 8th in Peterborough, Ontario. We cannot wait to hear how she does!! Good luck, Jessica!

We’ll be thinking of you on race day!

Immunocal Platinum: Preventative Anti-Aging Benefits for Baby Boomers

Immunocal Platinum, the next generation of Immunocal^®, is a big step forward for those looking to slow the effects of aging and wear and tear on the body, especially baby boomers, athletes and the maturing population. Whereas the original Immunocal formula works to effectively increase the body’s production of glutathione, the body’s “Master Antioxidant”, acclaimed Immunotec researcher Dr. Wulf Dröge believed there was room for further improvement to strengthen its effect as an anti-aging product. To optimize the beneficial effects of Immunocal for those no longer in their twenties, Immunocal has been combined with other ingredients to create the Immunocal Platinum formula.

The Benefits of Immunocal Platinum

This next generation product of Immunocal Platinum allows baby boomers and others to be proactive in their health by maintaining optimal muscle function, kidney function, bone health, and a strong immune system. Because Immunocal Platinum can help reduce acid production that may accompany a high protein diets it’s the ideal choice for people who find it a challenge to eat a lot of protein, regularly engage in strenuous exercise, or are trying to lose weight and/or avoid loss of bone mass. It also contains additional ingredients that render this formula more effective and safe for everyday use to support good health and well-being and buffer the effects of aging.

What Makes Immunocal Platinum Different

With Immunocal, scientists isolated specific molecules of protein that:

· Optimize antioxidant function

· Support the immune system

· Detoxify at the cellular level

· Increase your energy levels, strength and endurance

Immunocal Platinum takes the next step. It is formulated to further enhance the anti-oxidation properties with ingredients that:

· Assist in neutralizing acid production

· Slow down the loss of calcium

· Optimize muscle function

· Help sugar metabolism

What Puts the “Platinum” in Immunocal Platinum?

Immunocal’s major impact on your health is providing the building blocks for your cells to be able to make glutathione. This is a technology that continues to be refined, and both Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum represent the only patented protein proven to do this.

In the development of Immunocal Platinum, the Immunotec scientists looked carefully at both the biochemistry of protein metabolism and at potential components of whey sub-fractions that relate to aging, and then added two separate formulations to Immunocal.

The first is Cytokine Modulating Proteins (CMP^™*), which represents the next generation of whey protein subfractions. These components play roles in repairing cell damage, promoting healthy cell differentiation and growth, and inhibiting abnormal cell growth. As you can glean from the name, CMP can also modulate cytokines, small molecules of the immune system that signal for inflammation.

In addition, Redox Modulating Formula (RMF) is an exclusive development from Immunotec’s senior researcher, Dr. Wulf Dröge. The challenge of neutralizing the potential increase in acid production in individuals ingesting high amounts of protein has been successfully resolved with the RMF. High acid levels have been correlated with a number of different health challenges including the calcium loss seen in osteoporosis (brittle bones).

RMF helps to maintain proper muscle function, bone health, and a strong immune system.

Choose Immunocal Platinum If…

You want all the benefits of the original Immunocal, plus:

· Natural support for optimizing pH (acid/base) balance

· Preventing calcium loss and ensuring stronger bones

· Maintaining proper muscle strength and function

· Supporting a healthy immune system

For more than ten years, members of the scientific community has recognized Immunocal as a key product in the field of immune system support. Now, to meet the health needs of a maturing population, the scientists at Immunotec have enriched this industry-standard bonded cysteine^® supplement and developed Immunocal Platinum.

If you are seeking a way to give your body an extra edge against health challenges, aging and wear-and-tear, take a hard look at Immunocal Platinum. Typical supplements won’t do the job. Instead, give your body an extra edge by keeping it vigorous and healthy.

Highlight Ingredients

· Immunocal whey protein isolate. This is not just any whey protein isolate. This patented isolate from whey is specially prepared so as to provide a rich source of bioavailable cysteine. In common processing, these molecules may be destroyed so the cysteine availability is greatly decreased – but Immunocal preserves these important nutrients. The isolate in the Platinum product is even more refined than the original to provide you increased health supportive benefits.

· CMP™* (Cytokine Modulating Proteins). The Whey Protein Isolate in Immunocal Platinum also supplies CMP. CMP is a fraction of whey that supplies a superior source of bioactive proteins for support of the body’s immune response.

*CMP is a trademark of Glanbia LLC

· RMF (Redox Modulating Formula). RMF is a proprietary blend of creatine, and a citrate complex including potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and citric acid. This unique blend of minerals, electrolytes, citrates and creatine supports good health. The creatine further helps to limit loss of muscle mass and function. These features can be especially beneficial if you eat a protein-rich diet, are seeking to lose weight, or regularly engage in strenuous exercise.

Coenzyme Q₁₀, also known as ubiquinone, ubidecarenone, coenzyme Q, and abbreviated at times to CoQ₁₀ /ˌkoʊ ˌkjuː ˈtɛn/, CoQ, Q10, or Q, is a 1,4-benzoquinone, where Q refers to the quinone chemical group, and 10 refers to the number of isoprenyl chemical subunits in its tail.

This oil-soluble, vitamin-like substance is present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. Ninety-five percent of the human body’s energy is generated this way.^[1]^[2] Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements—such as the heart, liver and kidney —have the highest CoQ₁₀ concentrations.^[3]^[4]^[5] There are three redox states of Coenzyme Q10: fully oxidized (ubiquinone), semiquinone (ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol).The capacity of this molecule to exist in a completely oxidised form and a completely reduced form enables it to perform its functions in electron transport chain and as an antioxidant respectively.

Discovery and history

Coenzyme Q₁₀ was first discovered by Professor Fredrick L. Crane and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Enzyme Institute in 1957.^[6]^[7] In 1958, its chemical structure was reported by Dr. Karl Folkers and coworkers at Merck; in 1968, Folkers became a Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of Texas at Austin.^[7]^[8] In 1961 Peter Mitchel proposed the electron transport chain (which includes the vital protonmotive role of CoQ10) and he received a Nobel prize for the same in 1978. In 1972, Gian Paolo Littarru and Karl Folkers separately demonstrated a deficiency of CoQ10 in human heart disease. The 1980s witnessed a steep rise in the number of clinical trials due to the availability of large quantities of pure CoQ10 and methods to measure plasma and blood CoQ10 concentrations. The antioxidant role of the molecule as a free radical scavenger was widely studied by Lars Ernster. Numerous scientists around the globe started studies on this molecule since then in relation to various diseases including cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

[edit] Chemical properties

The oxidized structure of CoQ₁₀ is shown on the top-right. The various kinds of Coenzyme Q can be distinguished by the number of isoprenoid subunits in their side-chains. The most common Coenzyme Q in human mitochondria is CoQ₁₀. Q refers to the quinone head and 10 refers to the number of isoprene repeats in the tail. The image below has three isoprenoid units and would be called Q₃.

[edit] Biochemical role

Electron transport chain ("UQ" visible in green near center.)

CoQ₁₀ is found in the membranes of many organelles. Since its primary function in cells is in generating energy, the highest concentration is found on the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. Some other organelles that contain CoQ₁₀ include endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, lysosomes, and vesicles. In its reduced form (ubiquinol), Coenzyme Q10 acts as an important antioxidant in the body.^[^{citation needed}^]

[edit] CoQ10 and electron transport chain

CoQ10, fat-soluble and therefore mobile in cellular membranes, plays a unique role in the electron transport chain (ETC). In the inner mitochondrial membrane electrons from NADH and succinate pass through the ETC to the oxygen, which is then reduced to water. The transfer of electrons through ETC results in the pumping of H+ across the membrane creating a proton gradient across the membrane, which is used by ATP synthase (located on the membrane) to generate ATP. CoQ10 functions as an electron carrier from enzyme complex I and enzyme complex II to complex III in this process. This is crucial in the process, since no other molecule can perform this function. Thus, CoQ10 functions in every cell of the body to synthesize energy.

[edit] Antioxidant function of CoQ10

The antioxidant nature of CoQ10 derives from its energy carrier function. As an energy carrier, the CoQ10 molecule is continuously going through an oxidation-reduction cycle. As it accepts electrons, it becomes reduced. As it gives up electrons, it becomes oxidized. In its reduced form, the CoQ10 molecule holds electrons rather loosely, so this CoQ molecule will quite easily give up one or both electrons and, thus, act as an antioxidant.^[9] CoQ10 inhibits lipid peroxidation by preventing the production of lipid peroxyl radicals (LOO). Moreover, CoQH2 reduces the initial perferryl radical and singlet oxygen, with concomitant formation of ubisemiquinone and H2O2. This quenching of the initiating perferryl radicals, which prevent propagation of lipid peroxidation, protects not only lipids, but also proteins from oxidation. In addition, the reduced form of CoQ effectively regenerates vitamin E from the a-tocopheroxyl radical and, thereby interfering with the propagation step. Furthermore, during oxidative stress, interaction of H2O2 with metal ions bound to DNA generates hydroxyl radicals and CoQ efficiently prevents the oxidation of bases, in particular, in mitochondrial DNA.^[9] In contrast to other antioxidants, this compound inhibits both the initiation and the propagation of lipid and protein oxidation. It also regenerates other antioxidants such as vitamin E. The circulating CoQ10 in LDL prevents oxidation of LDL, therefore, by providing its benefits in cardiovascular diseases.

[edit] Biosynthesis

Starting from acetyl-CoA, a multistep process of mevalonate pathway produces farnesyl-PP (FPP), the precursor for cholesterol, CoQ, dolichol, and isoprenylated proteins. An important enzyme in this pathway is HMG Co-A reductase, which is usually a target for intervention in cardiovascular complications. The long isoprenoid side-chain of CoQ is synthesized by trans-prenyltransferase, which condenses FPP with several molecules of isopentenyl-PP (IPP), all in the trans configuration.^[10] The next step involves condensation of this polyisoprenoid side-chain with 4-hydroxybenzoate, catalyzed by polyprenyl-4-hydroxy benzoate transferase. Hydroxybenzoate is synthesized from tyrosine or phenylalanine. In addition to their presence in mitochondria, these initial two reactions also occur in the endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, indicating multiple sites of synthesis in animal cells.^[11] Increasing the endogenous biosynthesis of CoQ10 has attained attention in the recent years as a strategy to fight CoQ10 deficiency.
Genes involved include PDSS1, PDSS2, COQ2, and COQ8/CABC1.^[12]

[edit] Absorption and metabolism

[edit] Absorption

CoQ₁₀ is a crystalline powder that is insoluble in water. Absorption follows the same process as that of lipids and the uptake mechanism appears to be similar to that of vitamin E, another lipid-soluble nutrient.This process in the human body involves the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile into the small intestines that facilitate emulsification and micelle formation that is required for the absorption of lipophilic substances.^[13] Food intake (and the presence of lipids) stimulates bodily biliary excretion of bile acids and greatly enhances the absorption of CoQ10. Exogenous CoQ10 is absorbed from the small intestinal tract and is best absorbed if it is taken with a meal. Serum concentration of CoQ10 in fed condition is higher than in fasting conditions.^[14]^[15]

[edit] Metabolism

Data on the metabolism of CoQ₁₀ in animals and humans are limited.^[16] A study with ¹⁴C-labeled CoQ₁₀ in rats showed most of the radioactivity in the liver 2 hours after oral administration when the peak plasma radioactivity was observed, but it should be noted that CoQ₉ is the predominant form of coenzyme Q in rats.^[17] It appears that CoQ₁₀ is metabolised in all tissues, while a major route for its elimination is biliary and fecal excretion. After the withdrawal of CoQ₁₀ supplementation, the levels return to normal within a few days, irrespective of the type of formulation used.^[18]

[edit] CoQ10 deficiency and toxicity

There are three major factors that lead to deficiency of CoQ10 in humans: insufficient dietary CoQ10, reduced biosynthesis, and increased utilization by the body. The literature is still inconclusive about whether biosynthesis or dietary intake is the major source of CoQ10. However, the biosynthesis is a multistep process requiring many other nutrients, and so a diet low in nutrients may lead to decreased biosynthesis. Biosynthesis also can be affected by aging and certain medications (statins, blood thinners, etc.). Some chronic disease conditions (cancer, heart disease, etc.) reduce the biosynthesis and increases the demand for CoQ10 in the body. Recent evidences suggest that mutations in some genes also lead to CoQ10 deficiency. Products of these genes are thought to be involved in the metabolic pathway leading to CoQ10 production. Toxicity is not usually observed with high doses of CoQ10. A daily dosage up to 3600 mg was found to be tolerated by healthy as well as unhealthy persons.^[19] However, some adverse effects are reported with very high intakes. They are mostly gastrointestinal problems. The observed safe level(OSL) risk assessment method indicated that the evidence of safety is strong at intakes up to 1200 mg/day, and this level is identified as the OSL.^[20]

[edit] Clinical assessment techniques

The routine clinical assessment of CoQ10 status is, in general, based on plasma measurements. Since CoQ10 is synthesised endogenously also, plasma concentrations may not adequately represent cellular concentrations. Other suitable targets that can act as surrogates for tissue CoQ10 levels are being investigated. Blood cells are considered to be a good target for analysing intracellular CoQ10 levels.^[21]

[edit] Factors affecting CoQ levels

Various factors reduce the concentration of CoQ₁₀ in different organs; the following are known:

Use of statins reduce CoQ₁₀ levels — see below.
Aging, in individuals older than 20 years, reduces CoQ₁₀ levels in internal organs.^[22]^[23]
UV exposure reduces CoQ₁₀ levels in the skin.^[24]

[edit] Inhibition by statins and beta blockers

Coenzyme Q₁₀ shares a common biosynthetic pathway with cholesterol. The synthesis of an intermediary precursor of coenzyme Q₁₀, mevalonate, is inhibited by some beta blockers, blood pressure-lowering medication,^[25] and statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs.^[26] Statins can reduce serum levels of coenzyme Q₁₀ by up to 40%.^[27] Some research suggests the logical option of supplementation with coenzyme Q₁₀ as a routine adjunct to any treatment that may reduce endogenous production of coenzyme Q₁₀, based on a balance of likely benefit against very small risk.^[28]^[29]

[edit] Pharmacokinetics

Some reports have been published on the pharmacokinetics of CoQ₁₀. The plasma peak can be observed 2–6 hours after oral administration, mainly depending on the design of the study. In some studies, a second plasma peak was also observed at about 24 hours after administration, probably due to both enterohepatic recycling and redistribution from the liver to circulation.^[13] Tomono et al. used deuterium-labelled crystalline CoQ10 to investigate pharmacokinetics in human and determined an elimination half-time of 33 hours.^[30]

[edit] Improving the bioavailability of CoQ₁₀

The importance of how drugs are formulated for bioavailability is well known. In order to find a principle to boost the bioavailability of CoQ₁₀ after oral administration, several new approaches have been taken and different formulations, and forms have been developed and tested on animals or humans.^[16]

[edit] Reduction of particle size

The obvious strategy is reduction of the particle size to as low as the micro- and nano-scale. Nanoparticles have been explored as a delivery system for various drugs and an improvement of the oral bioavailability of drugs with poor absorption characteristics has been reported;^[31] the pathways of absorption and the efficiency were affected by reduction of particle size. This protocol has so far not proved to be very successful with CoQ₁₀, although reports have differed widely.^[32]^[33] The use of the aqueous suspension of finely powdered CoQ₁₀ in pure water has also revealed only a minor effect.^[18]

[edit] Soft-gel capsules with CoQ₁₀ in oil suspension

A successful approach was to use the emulsion system to facilitate absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and to improve bioavailability. Emulsions of soybean oil (lipid microspheres) could be stabilised very effectively by lecithin and were utilised in the preparation of soft gelatine capsules. In one of the first such attempts, Ozawa et al. performed a pharmacokinetic study on beagle dogs in which the emulsion of CoQ₁₀ in soybean oil was investigated; about two times higher plasma CoQ₁₀ level than that of the control tablet preparation was determined during administration of a lipid microsphere.^[18] Although an almost negligible improvement of bioavailability was observed by Kommuru et al. with oil-based soft-gel capsules in a later study on dogs,^[34] the significantly increased bioavailability of CoQ₁₀ was confirmed for several oil-based formulations in most other studies.^[35]

[edit] Novel forms of CoQ₁₀ with increased water-solubility

Facilitating drug absorption by increasing its solubility in water is a common pharmaceutical strategy and has also been shown to be successful for Coenzyme Q₁₀. Various approaches have been developed to achieve this goal, with many of them producing significantly better results over oil-based soft-gel capsules in spite of the many attempts to optimize their composition.^[16] Examples of such approaches are use of the aqueous dispersion of solid CoQ₁₀ with tyloxapol polymer,^[36] formulations based on various solubilising agents, i.e., hydrogenated lecithin,^[37] and complexation with cyclodextrins; among the latter, complex with β-cyclodextrin has been found to have highly increased bioavailability.^[38]^[39] and is also used in pharmaceutical and food industry for CoQ₁₀-fortification.^[16] Also some other novel carrier systems like liposomes, nanoparticles, dendrimers etc. can be used to increase the bioavailability of Coenzyme Q₁₀.^[^{citation needed}^]

[edit] Supplementation benefits

The neutrality of this section is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (January 2011)

Coenzyme Q10 is the 3rd most sold dietary ingredient in the United States after Omega-3 and multivitamins.
According to the Mayo Clinic, "CoQ10 has been used, recommended, or studied for numerous conditions, but remains controversial as a treatment in many areas."^[40] Further clinical results are needed to determine whether supplementation with coenzyme Q₁₀ is beneficial for healthy people.^[^{citation needed}^]

[edit] Heart health

Coenzyme Q10 helps to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. There is evidence of CoQ10 deficiency in heart failure. Recently, CoQ10 plasma concentrations have been demonstrated as an independent predictor of mortality in chronic heart failure, CoQ10 deficiency being detrimental to the long-term prognosis of chronic heart failure.^[41] CoQ10 is available as medicine in several European countries, but is in these countries also available as a food supplement. Oxidation of the circulating LDL is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, which is the underlying disorder leading to heart attack and ischemic strokes^[42]^[43]^[44] and CHD. Studies in the last decade have demonstrated that the content of Ubiquinol in human LDL affords protection against the oxidative modifications of LDL themselves, thus lowering their atherogenic potency.^[45]^[46]

[edit] Migraine headaches

Supplementation of coenzyme Q₁₀ has been found to have a beneficial effect on the condition of some sufferers of migraine headaches. So far, three studies have been done, of which two were small, did not have a placebo group, were not randomized, and were open-label,^[47] and one was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, which found statistically significant results despite its small sample size of 42 patients.^[48] Dosages were 150 to 300 mg/day.
It has been used effecitvely in the prophylaxis of migraines, especially in combination with a daily supplement of magnesium citrate 500 mg and riboflavin (vitamin B2) 400 mg.^[49]

[edit] Cancer

CoQ₁₀ is also being investigated as a treatment for cancer, and as relief from cancer treatment side-effects.^[50]^[51]^[52]^[53]

[edit] Cardiac arrest

Another recent study shows a survival benefit after cardiac arrest if coenzyme Q₁₀ is administered in addition to commencing active cooling of the body to 90–93 degrees Fahrenheit (32–34 degrees Celsius).^[54]

[edit] Blood pressure

There are several reports concerning the effect of CoQ₁₀ on blood pressure in human studies.^[55]
A recent (2007) meta-analysis of the clinical trials of CoQ₁₀ for hypertension reviewed all published trials of coenzyme Q₁₀ for hypertension, and assessed overall efficacy, consistency of therapeutic action, and side-effect incidence. Meta-analysis was performed in 12 clinical trials (362 patients) comprising three randomized controlled trials, one crossover study, and eight open-label studies. The meta-analysis concluded that coenzyme Q₁₀ has the potential in hypertensive patients to lower systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by up to 10 mm Hg without significant side-effects.^[56]

[edit] Periodontal disease

Studies have shown that diseased gum tissue is deficient in CoQ₁₀ compared to healthy gum tissue.^[57]^[58] Human clinical trials have suggested a link between oral administration of CoQ10 and improved gingival health,^[59] immune response in gum tissues,^[60] and a reversal of the diseased gum conditions.^[61] In addition to oral supplementation, topical application of CoQ10 on gum tissues has been shown to improve periodontitis and gingivitis conditions.^[62]

[edit] Lifespan

One study demonstrated that low dosages of coenzyme Q₁₀ reduce oxidation and DNA double-strand breaks, and a combination of a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and coenzyme Q₁₀ supplementation leads to a longer lifespan in rats.^[63] Coles and Harris demonstrated an extension in the lifespan of rats when they were given coenzyme Q₁₀ supplementation.^[64] But multiple studies have since found no increase in lifespan or decrease in aging in mice and rats supplemented with coenzyme Q₁₀.^[65]^[66]^[67]^[68] Another study demonstrated that coenzyme Q₁₀ extends the lifespan of C. elegans (nematode).^[69]

[edit] Radiation injury

A 2002 study reported that, in rat experiments, coenzyme Q₁₀ taken as dietary supplement reduced radiation damage to the animals' blood.^[70]

[edit] Parkinson's disease

A 2002 study in 80 Parkinson's disease patients found 1200 mg/day reduced the progression by 44%.^[71]^[72] and a phase III trial of 1200 mg/d and 2400 mg/d should run until 2011.^[73]

[edit] Coenzyme Q₁₀ concentrations in foods and dietary intake

Detailed reviews on occurrence of CoQ₁₀ and dietary intake were published recently.^[74] Besides endogenous synthesis, CoQ₁₀ is also supplied to the organism by various foods. However, despite the scientific community’s great interest in this compound, a very limited number of studies have been performed to determine the contents of CoQ₁₀ in dietary components. The first reports on this issue were published in 1959, but the sensitivity and selectivity of the analytical methods at that time did not allow reliable analyses, especially for products with low concentrations.^[74] Developments in analytical chemistry have since enabled a more reliable determination of CoQ₁₀ concentrations in various foods (Table below).

CoQ₁₀ levels in selected foods^[74]

Meat and fish are the richest source of dietary CoQ₁₀ and levels over 50 mg/kg can be found in beef, pork and chicken heart, and chicken liver. Dairy products are much poorer sources of CoQ₁₀ compared to animal tissues. Vegetable oils are also quite rich in CoQ₁₀. Within vegetables, parsley, and perilla are the richest CoQ₁₀ sources, but significant differences in their CoQ₁₀ levels can be found in the literature. Broccoli, grape, and cauliflower are modest sources of CoQ₁₀. Most fruit and berries represent a poor to very poor source of CoQ₁₀, with the exception of avocado, with a relatively high CoQ₁₀ content.^[74]

[edit] Intake

In the developed world, the estimated daily intake of CoQ₁₀ has been determined at 3–6 mg per day, derived primarily from meat.^[74]

[edit] Effect of heat and processing

Cooking by frying reduces CoQ₁₀ content by 14–32%.^[75]

An Exciting New Discovery!
Recently the first stage of an extensive research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada produced some remarkable results. The project studies the effect of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as on general blood physiology. It was discovered that eating AFA had a profound and unique effect on Natural Killer (NK) cells. The results were recently published under the title: Effects of the Blue Green Algae Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on Human Natural Killer Cells. It appears in Chapter 3.1 of the IBC Library Series, Volume 1911, Phytoceuticals: Examining the health benefit and pharmaceutical properties of natural antioxidants and phytochemicals.

NK cells have the ability to search for and recognize cells that are cancerous or have been infected by a virus, and kill them. The team of research scientists at the Royal Victoria Hospital, led by Dr. Gitte S. Jensen, discovered that eating Aphanizomenon flos-aquae triggers the movement of 40% of the circulating NK cells from the blood to the tissues where their main function is to perform immune surveillance and eliminate cancerous and virally-infected cells. Further research may prove that eating a small amount of AFA every day could assist in the prevention of cancer and viral infections. No other substance is known to trigger such a movement of NK cells in the body. This is very exciting news! We hope you will share it with everyone you know!

Current Research has discovered:
*Phenylethylamine (PEA) is known as the "molecule of love." Beside enhancing concentration and attention, PEA is a natural mood elevator and anti-depressant. *Phycocyanin, is the blue pigment in AFA, which is a natural selective COX-2 inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory properties. *AFA contains a polysaccharide that stimulates the migration of immune cells in the body; the only natural compound known to stimulate immune cell migration. But the most extraordinary discover is the ability of AFA to stimulate stem cell release and migration, making AFA the first natural compound know to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body.

Hair removal creams are another nightmare just lurking to scare you half to death. First the smell of those chemical laden products is enough to burn the hair off the insides of your nostrils.

It’s complicated, inconvenient, smelly, expensive, and takes way too much time. It certainly seems to be way more work than it’s worth – all you want to do is get to the beach before sundown!

ProShape Rx: A Safer, More Natural Approach to Weight Loss

How many times after complete frustration, have you succumbed and tried one of those 'over the counter' weight loss supplements that promise to help you shed those unwanted pounds? The claims seem impressive. Maybe even one of your friends has recommended a new one that they swear has worked for them. The choices are endless, but finally you just pick a pretty bottle and set out to finally get rid of that annoying excess weight.

But soon you realize that even if you notice you don't feel that hungry, you do notice a complete change in your system. You start to feel jittery. Your stomach is constantly upset. The frequent trips to the bathroom with cramps are just out of control. You can't sleep. The list goes on and on. Many of those side effects are a result of the ingredients in most over the counter weight loss supplements. Many drug store brands contain ingredient with side effects such as caffeine.

Caffeine has been touted as one of the effective ingredients in weight loss systems as initially it can decrease your appetite through its central nervous system response. However, other studies, including ones conducted by the Mayo Clinic suggest that caffeine may cause higher levels of cortisol, which actually stimulates an increase in appetite. So the main ingredient that is touted as helping to decrease weight, in actual fact works exactly the opposite.

Caffeine can also increase stress. It has this affect by elevating the stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Increase in stress can then have a very negative impact on your weight loss goals by decreasing your willpower and overall affecting your ability to stick to your intentions and keep losing weight.

Another negative effect of utilizing a weight loss supplement that contains caffeine is interruption of your natural sleep patterns. Often people complain that if they drink coffee too late in the day that they end up tossing and turning all night. Well weight loss pills that use caffeine as an ingredient in their formulas can have an adverse affect on your ability to get the rest that you need.� And if you are not sleeping, then your ability to maintain your willpower is adversely affected for sure. Losing weight successfully really has to be simple and suffering from lack of sleep on top of all the other stress that comes with being overweight is simply not a good formula for anyone.

Now the researchers and doctors who have formulated the ProShapeRX weight loss system have purposely avoided ingredients such as caffeine and have devised a 100% natural formula that uses herb supplements to help control your cravings and help you stick to your weight loss goals naturally. Now that certainly sounds like a better way to go than putting yourself through more stress and less sleep. So give the ProShapeRX system a try. There is a 30 day trial offer so you have nothing to lose except a few extra pounds. So what are you waiting for? Take a positive step toward a new, thinner, healthier you.

Direct Selling News
Cover Story
Beyond Testimonials … to Science
by Teresa Day

A leading investment firm in the health, wellness and fitness industries, JD Ford & Company estimates that the health and wellness market segment represents a staggering $600 billion globally, and growing. According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), direct selling companies in this segment currently make up about one quarter of the industry’s $132 billion in global retail sales. Clearly, the direct selling industry has room to continue gaining health and wellness global market share.

In a few cases, the dietary supplement products themselves are actually associated with a specific scientific breakthrough or discovery. In 1978, renowned scientist and researcher Gustavo Bounous led his team to the discovery of a dietary protein source that would boost the immune system. Continued development and testing over the following 15 years led to the establishment of a product called Immunocal, a whey protein concentrate that helps to sustain normal glutathione levels. Glutathione is the body’s natural antioxidant. Immunocal would later become the flagship product of Canadian direct seller Immunotec.

Jimmy Gutman, M.D., Senior Medical Consultant at Immunotec, says, “Dr. Gustavo Bounous was the first to publish an association between glutathione and protein supplementation. As of 2012, there are approximately 100,000 articles written on glutathione. Many of them are really a spinoff of the work Dr. Bounous initiated 40 years ago at McGill University.”

Many dietary supplement companies have also added the position of Chief Science Officer (CSO) to their roster of executive positions. In addition to the basics of overseeing R&D and clinical studies, the CSO is often responsible for having the results of their studies published in peer-reviewed publications—often prestigious and highly regarded medical and science journals. This is a level of accountability not taken lightly. To have one’s study accepted into a journal not only means that it meets the stringent requirements of the publication, but also that the authors of the study are opening up their work to the scrutiny and criticism of their peers and the entire medical and scientific community. Other scientists have the opportunity to inspect the work and object to it.

“It’s so important that we use peer-reviewed journals to ensure that the scientific community has had a chance to do due diligence on our studies and ensure that standards are met.”
—Jimmy Gutman, M.D., Senior Medical Consultant, Immunotec

“A study that appears only online or on the Internet is not a published study,” says Immunotec’s Gutman. “This is why it’s so important that we use peer-reviewed journals to ensure that the scientific community has had a chance to do due diligence on our studies and ensure that standards are met.”

Immunotec also maintains a Scientific Advisory Board to provide oversight to the company’s executive team. “This board does not contain any company employees,” says Gutman, Senior Medical Consultant. “It’s important for this kind of a board to be impartial and to have no potential conflict of interest so they can be completely candid.”

These Advisory Boards are packed with impressive pedigrees. Individuals hold degrees including Ph.D.s in biophysics, genetics, oncological biochemistry, immunology and molecular biology, to name just a few. Also on the Advisory Boards are practicing Doctors of Medicine in the fields of dermatology, aging pathology, allergy and immunology, oncology, pediatrics and more, with degrees conferred by revered institutions—counting Stanford, Columbia, Berkeley, Cornell and Yale among them. Additional members include chiefs of medicine at university hospitals and directors of institutes and research centers from all over the world.

And this scientific validation isn’t lost on consumers. They have become increasingly informed and educated with the vast amount of information available through the Internet. “Access to information is more readily available than ever before,” says Herbalife’s Goudis. “If I am a customer sitting across the table from you and you’re talking about a supplement or product, I can use my smart phone to look it up on the Internet and ask you further questions. That’s requiring us to spend more money and time training our distributors so they can educate their customers.”

FreeLife’s Faltinsky believes scientifically savvy consumers are becoming more wary of unsupported claims due to a culture that embraces science. “Thanks to celebrity health experts like Dr. Oz and shows like The Doctors, consumers are becoming more familiar with science as it applies to health and nutrition,” he says. “The last thing a direct selling company wants is to be accused of selling snake oil, and having good scientific support can go a long way to instill and reinforce confidence in a company and its products.”

Gutman agrees, saying, “People are eloquent about science and they will not be sold a bill of goods. Scientific validation is important and will become even more important in the future.”

While nutritional supplements have drawn a lot of recent attention, the $600 billion global health and wellness market has plenty of room for direct selling companies to increase its claim of market share with other products, including beverages, weight-loss products and even fortified coffee.

And as the nutritional supplements industry continues to evolve, we can count on the direct selling industry to stand out in its commitment to sound science.

Immunotec F.I.T.T. Testimonials

F.I.T.T. can make an important difference in many people’s lives. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet your weight-loss goals and help others with theirs.

F.I.T.T. – Your key to weight management

Here's what Consultants had to say about Immunotec F.I.T.T.*:

“I’ve experienced (and seen!) excellent results from taking the new (Immunotec) F.I.T.T. meal replacement, along with Immunocal Platinum and PNT 200.

After two consecutive knee surgeries I was sidelined long enough to put on an extra 40 lbs. of weight. Although I have never been into fad diets or weight-loss products, after reading Dr. Jimmy Gutman’s description of the nutrient value of the (Immunotec) F.I.T.T. meal replacement, I was convinced that I had to try it.

My daily regime for the past two months has included daily exercise, two packages of Immunocal Platinum, one (Immunotec) F.I.T.T. meal replacement at lunch time as well as PNT 200. I take Platinum to maintain healthy muscle so I KNOW I’m losing FAT. As well, I take PNT 200 because I’m a type A personality and tend to be stressed out a lot.

All together this is working for me. I’ve already lost 25 lbs. but more importantly I’m redefining my body shape.”

Diamond Consultant
Jim Hawley—ON

“I began following the F.I.T.T. weight-loss system on October 1st and I’ve already lost 30 lbs with this system. Although I still have a ways to go before I reach my ideal weight, I’m confident that with F.I.T.T. I WILL reach my weight-loss goals.

Thanks Immunotec, for developing a system that works and is easy to follow!”

Silver Consultant
Annie Huard —QC

“Since starting on the F.I.T.T. system I’ve lost over 22 lbs. And that’s in only 8 weeks! I’ve already had to go shopping twice for new clothes and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Immunotec for this great weight-loss system. It’s convenient AND tasty!”

Gold Consultant
Wendy Wheelans —MB

“I’ve been using the new (Immunotec) F.I.T.T. product for about two months now.

I am happy to say that although I don’t exercise I have been able to lose 12 lbs. This may not seem like a lot but it is the very first time I’ve been able to lose weight consistently while taking something that I know is good for me nutritionally and tastes great. I make a chocolate shake up in my blender and yummy! It tastes great; just like an old fashioned milk shake.

I will continue to use (Immunotec) F.I.T.T. along with Thermal Action, which I know is helping my metabolism. This is a very safe and effective combination for me.”

Gold Consultant
Connie Tippett —ON

“Great taste, easy and simple to use and best of all it works. ”

Diamond Consultant
Keith Hooper —CA

Randy Grover
There have been times when people ask me...What do you use Immunocal for?
So this is my testimony.

I was in a coma in 1986 and needed prescription drugs called SSRI's like Prozac.
I also have arthritis which I was taking medication for.
Then about 2001 I suffered from migraines and found the scar tissue on my brain was inflammed and I needed more drugs to alleviate the pain and swelling.
Then after being diagnosed with sondylosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylosis and needed more drugs for pain.

Well I got worse instead of better. The drugs were taking their toll on my body so I went looking for an alternative and found exactly what I needed in Immunocal to do everything, even detox me during the transition off the drugs.
I even lost 50 lbs and my man boobs, so if these things can happen in my life, I felt obligated to tell everyone about a simple way to make life easier to live.
Oh ya, with all that Immunocal has done to get me clean of drugs free of pain and inflammation, it also gave me a sense of well being and a purpose in life I never knew was obtainable.

Please feel free to ask anything.

Linda thanks for taking the time to respond. It takes me even long to follow-up.
Now that the holiday season has passed it's time to focus again on educating the Nation on Good Health Practice by preventing disease.
Now...you mentioned Tylenol use and I am left to assume you no longer use this toxic product.
I would like to follow up with some information about tylenol and what it does to your defences agiainst other toxins and free radical damage.
I understand many people today don't like the views of the FDA, and I totally understand but their website can still educate so I use it to help show what is real in the world of health.

Use Caution with Pain Relievers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Acetaminophen can cause liver injury through the production of a toxic metabolite. The body eliminates acetaminophen by changing it into substances (metabolites) that the body can easily eliminate in the stool or urine. Under certain circumstances, particularly when more acetaminophen is ingested than is recommended on the label, more of the harmful metabolite is produced than the body can easily eliminate. This harmful metabolite can seriously damage the liver."

Now we should all know by now that the liver has a number of important functions, some of the main ones being:

* Detoxification of potentially toxic chemicals from both inside and outside of the body including drugs, alcohol and toxins from intestinal microbes. Accomplished with antioxidant nutrients and enzymes such as glutathione.
* Storage of sugar as 'glycogen' and regulation of blood sugar levels.
* Production and storage of proteins as well as the regulation of many substances involved in protein metabolism.
* Production of bile which aids in the digestion of fats.
* Production of blood proteins, clotting factors and substances important to the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes)
* Regulation of a number of hormones.
* Neutralization of 'free-radicals' by antioxidants. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules that can damage tissues.
* Storage of vitamins, mainly A, D and B12
http://www.fda.gov/FDAC/features/2003/103_pain.html

As you can see the liver is involved in a wide array of metabolic activities and it requires a large amount of energy and nutrients to accomplish these effectively.

Over the last century the workload of our livers has increased significantly. A vast amount of chemicals are now in everyday use and all of these must be processed and neutralized by the liver. These chemicals come in the form of pharmaceutical drugs, household cleaning products, cosmetic and personal care products and household furnishings and building materials, to name but a few.

Tylenol also Depletes Glutatione...
Glutathione Depleting Agents

~ Smoking.
~ Alcohol.
~ Caffeine.
~ Acetaminophen. (aka-Tylenol)
~ Drugs.
~ Vigorous exercise
~ x-, y- and UV radiation
~ Xenobiotics.
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/00/slides/3652s1_05/tsld028.htm

Glutathione - The Master Antioxidant

Glutathione is an antioxidant enzyme often referred to as the body's "master antioxidant" due to its central role in protecting the body's cells from free radical damage. Glutathione is composed of the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and glycine and is concentrated in the liver, although it carries out its work throughout the body. This important enzyme is involved in protecting cells from environmental toxins, drugs and alcohol as well as toxins produced by the body itself as a result of normal metabolism. So important to health is glutathione that it's depletion leads to cell death.

Environmental toxins are known to cause depletion of glutathione. Maybe not surprisngly, glutathione deficiency has been implicated in a whole range of chronic degenerative disorders including most of the environmental illnesses.

Also of note is the influence glutathione levels have on immune function. Like all cells, immune cells rely up on glutathione for defense against free radicals. Glutathione is also required for the activation of natural killer cells and for many other functions of specific immune cells.

Clearly in this modern age of toxic living it is wise for everybody to be aware of their glutathione status but for environmental illness sufferers it is essential since their levels of this vital detoxifier have almost certainly been compromised already. Fortunately there are a number of natural products that have been shown in clinical studies to raise effective levels of glutathione. These will be discussed in a moment.

Immunocal Helps to Restore Liver Function and Prevent further Damage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"These findings suggest that the long-term supplement with Immunocal alone may be effective for improving liver dysfunctions in patients with chronic hepatitis B."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11508322

So Linda, as you well know, you have taken a very important step in maintaining long health and a strong liver plus we both know how we feel with no pain from our Arthritis.
Thanks for making a comment and please feel free to share this with others and don't forget there are video testimonies in my video files.

The Discoverer of Immunocal ~ Dr. Gustavo Bounous

2011-09-18T16:44:00.002-03:00

Educated at the University of Turin and the University of Genoa in his native Italy, Gustavo Bounous’ distinguished career in medical research began as a Research Fellow in surgery at the Indiana Medical Center, Indianapolis. In 1963, he moved to Canada and commenced an academic career that led him to become Professor of Surgery, firstly at the University of Sherbrooke (1973-1985), then at McGill University (1985-1993).

Dr. Bounous was awarded the 1965 medal of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He pioneered the use of elemental diets in the prophylaxis and treatment of intestinal lesions associated with shock, intestinal ischemia, radiation, cancer chemotherapy and Crohn’s disease.

In 1968, he was named Career Investigator of the Medical Research Council, an award that was reconfirmed until 1993, the year of his retirement from McGill University. In 1978, Dr. Bounous initiated a novel research program to search for a dietary protein source that would boost the immune system, in conjunction with a colleague from the McGill University Faculty of Medicine. Studies led to the discovery of an undenatured serum milk concentrate that sustains normal glutathione levels and promotes immune enhancing activity. Subsequent identification of the active ingredients present in this protein mixture, brought on in 1993, the production of a high-quality bioactive material given the name and trademark Immunocal®.

Now... "In this inaugural year of the Fund, Immunotec’s Scientific Advisory Board has chosen to advance the scientific programs of the McGill Department of Oncology and the Centre for Translational Research in Cancer by funding the work of Dr. Thomas Jagoe. Dr. Jagoe’s research project is entitled: “Mitochondrial-targeted fluorescent signals in real-time imaging to monitor morphological adaptation and aid functional correlation in muscle tissue.”

The Dr. Gustavo Bounous Fund provides financial resources to carry forward the legacy of Dr. Gustavo Bounous, who has dedicated his life to identifying, through research, ways to improve the health and wellness of people around the world.

On behalf of Immunotec, its Distributors across North America and its international Licensees, Immunotec will award $50,000 for these key investigations into cancer cachexia, for the betterment of health and wellness worldwide.

If you are commited to improved health and ongoing research into a disease that affects so many of our families, we invite you to partner with us by making a donation to the Dr. Gustavo Bounous Fund. Cheques should be made payable to “McGill University – Dr. Gustavo Bounous Fund” and sent to our offices at 300 Joseph-Carrier, Vaudreuil-Dorion, J7V 5V5 for forwarding to McGill. Be assured that the funds will go directly to McGill and tax receipts will be issued by them."

"Sincerely,

James A. Northrop
President & CEO "

I can never explain how this discovery has changed my life or all the lives we have touched.
Thank You Dr.Bounous, so much for your hard work and perceverence over those 20 years.
The world is much better place because of you.
