Diabetes 1 # Testimonial:
Dear Herb: I am a Diabetic and I want to share my experience regarding
Immunocal. Before using Immunocal, I had been controlling my blood sugar levels
(usually 114 fasting), through diet and one 5mg Glipizide tablet per day. After using 1
envelope of Immunocal for just 5 days, begining mid-October, 2001, I experienced a
significant drop in my blood sugar level (58) one and a half hours after breakfast
(normal blood sugar runs 80 to 100). By increasing my food intake that day, I was
able to raise my blood sugar to 74 by the end of the day. This situation continued
until I met and spoke to Dr. Guttman, November 15th at a Health Seminar in
Princeton, NJ. Dr. Guttman told me I needed to speak with my Dr. about stopping my
medication or at least cutting the pill in half, in order to bring my blood sugar up to
normal. After speaking with my Dr. I elected to cut my medication in half at that
time. By February 2002, my blood sugar began to drop again, so I stopped using the
medication entirely. I have been able to control my blood sugar since then by diet
alone. My fasting blood sugar runs 76 or below, and one and a half hour meals blood
sugar runs 90 to 96. Another improvement I experienced, which is what Dr.
Guttman considers an important reason for a diabetic's use of Immunocal, is my
circulation. I used to suffer from broken capillaries, causing red spots on my
feet and ankles, which entirely stopped after 3 months on Immunocal. Also, I used to
experience weakness and stiffness in my legs when I awoke in the am. That
problem entirely stopped after only a week on 1 envelope of Immunocal per day.
These days, I use 2 or 3 envelopes of Immunocal per day. Sincerely, Cathy Gulden
(February 4. 2003)
Diabetes 2# Testimonial:
When I was introduced to Immunocal I was having a great deal of trouble keeping
my sugar down, even though I was on Insulin injections. I had lost the sight in one
eye and the other eye was ulcerated, with loss of vision eminent. I was terribly
down and lacked the energy to move and was rapidly gaining weight. My sister
introduced me to Immunocal, after her hearing a radio show on the benefits of
glutathione and calling the number. It was also suggested that I take the Xtra Sharp
and the vitamin, which I agreed on. After two months on Immunocal and the Xtra
Sharp my sugar was leveled and upon going to my eye specialist I was told that the
ulcerations were gone, as was the itching and running from the eyes. I have more
energy that I can ever remember having and I am now taking walks daily. In six
weeks lost twenty-two pounds. Immunocal has definitely improved the quality of
my life. Gwen Merriweather
Diabetes 3# Testimonial:
Oct. 2003: Here is an unforgettable testimonial from the Portland Expo on
diabetes. Shirley Hulen from Oregon shared: Hi! My name is Shirley Hulen, a
74-year-old homemaker from Milwaukie, Oregon. After having several tests done at
the Women’s Fair in October 1999, a nurse advised me to see my doctor because of
elevated blood sugar. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as a result of the
HbA1c test done at that visit. Next came a class at the hospital where we learned all
aspects of diabetes, including neuropathy. At that time, I had no feeling from the
ankles down, along with the tingling and pain. My disappointment came when I
was told this condition would never go away and would continue to progress as more
nerves were damaged. And progress it did---until it finally reached both knees!
Since this was something I had to live with for the rest of my life, or so I was told, I
accepted the fact I would be very inactive when I should be exercising to help control
my blood sugar and to lose weight. Near the end of 2001, I learned about
Immunocal and on January 7, 2002 I took my first packet. Within weeks, I began to
notice some things missing or improved. A sore in one ear was gone after 3 to 4
years. No more headaches, because my year-round sinus infections were also
gone after many years. I was able to almost close both hands after arthritis
prevented it from happening. Imagine my excitement when I noticed that my
neuropathy had lowered almost two inches below my knees. In the middle of March I
began taking two packets of Immunocal a day and by late June the neuropathy was
only in the bottom of my feet. How exciting for something that would NEVER be
reversed! We just came back from our church campout on the Oregon coast. This
year I walked everywhere I needed to go, with much improved balance. Last year I
could only walk short distances with assistance and had to be driven the longer ones.
Praise the Lord and Immunotec for Immunocal!!!!
Shirley Hulen: P.S. My eyes are in excellent condition and there is no blurring

Sharon Smith from Terry Johnson’s group shared this: Sharon’s friend was diabetic.
She was only on the pills so far, but controlling her diabetes was difficult. After just
one box of Immunocal, taking it only once a day she has seen a BIG difference in
her diabetes! She told Sharon, she NEVER wants to be without her Immunocal.

Dear Jim: I have a friend who is a bad diabetic. She has been losing her sight for
over a year due to diabetic retinopathy and has been traveling from Vegas to
Seattle for treatment about 4 times a year. The treatments are extrememly painful
and are of limited help. She started on Immunocal around Thanksgiving. I just
received a note from her in Seattle, as she saw her Dr yesterday. She has no active
eye disease right now. Her eyesight is 20/70, which is quite good for her at age
55. But what is better is that her stress level is way down, as she was told to learn
Braille and prepare to be blind the rest of her life. She is a distributor and has
shared Immunocal with many people already. I am going to try and make your Jan
20th meeting in Long Beach next week. Just thought I'd share the info. Mary Florin,

Blood Disorders
Dear Herb Johnsen, Hello my name is Lucia Cerullo from Elizabeth, New Jersey. I
am 19 years old and I have a very rare bleeding disorder. I have been on
Immunocal for 8 1/2 months and it has done great wonders for me. I would like to
explain a little more about my bleeding disorder. It's called factor 5 deficiency , it's
one in a million and it has these side effects: easy bruising, nose bleeds, gum bleeds,
internal bleeding, and compared to a regular person it takes me longer to clot when I
have a bled. The reason why it takes me longer to coagulate is because I'm missing
the factor 5 levels in my blood , which is a clotting factor. There is only one cure
for my bleeding disorder, is by getting a Plasma transfusion of between 4-6 units
depending on how bad my bleed may be. The only time I receive tranfusions is when
I have an internal bleed or a severe nose bleed and so on. I am glad to say that
since the first few weeks I started noticing a great improvement with my body. I
wasn't receiving as many bruises usually would get and if I had bruises they healed
a lot faster than normal. I have also noticed a great deal of improvement in my
coagulation. Like for example, before I was on this Immunocal and I were to have
nose bleeds they would bleed spontaneously from like a half hour an so on and now
if I get a nose bleed it stops in like 10 minutes the most. I also used to have many
problems when they had to draw blood because my veins are so small, they used to
roll or disappear. Now that has improved a great deal also the most they have to
stick me is twice and with a whole lot less pain. One other major injury was when I
had a bad fall and twisted my ankle and pulled my calf muscle and all my weight
went into my left leg. I had many problems with my legs since this injury and I spent
a lot of time in and out of the hospital but with Immunocal it has improved a lot. I am
taking up to 3 or 4 bags a day and I see that it help’s a great deal, in giving me
energy and my bruises are decreased a great deal. Also I hardly have many bruises
and I don’t bleed much from my nose and I haven't had an internal bleed since the
summer, which is really great. So I recommend this product for any body who is well
or extremely ill you will see a great improvement with at least 2 or more bags a day.
Lots of love, Lucia Cerullo
Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure 11 # Testimonial
Blood Pressure & Thyroid - February 2003 Today I received a fabulous letter
(testimonial) from my brother and sister-in-law.
Here's how it goes: They recently went to their family physician for a checkup. For
many years my brother has been taking various prescriptions for high blood
pressure. .He has been taking two packs of Immunocal for the past one and a half
months.. Last week his blood pressure reading was 111/71 - absolutely
phenomenal The Doctor immediately asked what he had been doing differently and
was told about the Immunocal he Doctor was amazed and told him to keep taking it.
He also asked for information on the product. In addition, my sister- in- law has had
problems with her thyroid for a long time. Her function tests over the years would
fluctuate - sometimes high, then low - causing a variety of problems and
complications. At this same visit the Dr said her latest test was normal .(She's been
on two packs of Immunocal for a month or so longer than my brother) Just as they
were leaving his office the Doctor reminded them to get the information to him asap.
Herb - this warms my heart. Words cannot convey how fantastic this makes me feel.
I am on Cloud Nine - Much love, Connie
Cholesterol
Cholesterol level 12 # Testimonial:
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "My cholesterol level went from 340 to 140 after only 15 days
of taking 2 packets of Immunocal per day. Also, I had a fairly large cyst in my
breast which my doctor first saw 4 or 5 years ago. Each year I had an ultra sound
and it was slowly getting bigger. The doctor was going to biopsy it this year, but
after my ultrasound, it had almost completely disappeared! Immunocal is the only
thing I have been doing differently." Sincerely, Elizabeth Ackerman Wednesday,

A Testimonial for Mercury Chelation with HMS 90¨/Immunocal¨ ¥ Paul Rothe (June,
2003) In November of 1999, I had a minor pulmonary cardiac infarct (heart
attack). Four months later, I tested 30% above the cardio-pulmonary fitness norm
for my age (then 60), with good cardiac blood flow. I then visited a naturopathic
physician who explained mercury's tendency, among numerous other negative
effects, to disrupt the calcium balance important in blood vessel contractions. My
attack was attributed to an arterial spasm. I was under considerable emotional
stress at the time. I had my silver/mercuryÐbased dental amalgams replaced with
composite material in July of 2000, dental fillings being a common source of mercury
toxicity. I then underwent a series of mercury chelations through a naturopahic
physician to remove the mercury residue still present in my body. At that time, I had
a blood mercury reading of 66 ppm on a 'normal' reference range of 0 Ð 49 ppm*,
considerably beyond the range of acceptability. After a series of 12 chelations, which
were expensive and tend to be hard on the body, my blood mercury was reduced to
40 ppm by September 19, 2002Ña noticeable improvement.
On May 28, 2003, after taking three or more packs (30 g) of HMS
90¨/Immunocal¨ per day for 8.5 months (midÐSeptember to the end of May),
the same test for blood mercury as used previously returned a value of 28
ppm. I had changed nothing in my habits that would account for the 12 ppm drop
since the September, 2001, test, other than the fact I had been taking HMS
90¨/Immunocal¨ daily over that period. I have been told that this is much higher than
the amount which could have been removed through the passive excretion of
mercury from my body without any special treatments. * This is far from a controlled
study, but it does seem consistent with Medline studies which verify glutathioneÕs
ability to chelate mercury in mice, rats, and perch. If I hadn't had other health issues
(nonÐlife threatening) and a relatively active and regular regime of swimming,
cycling and walkingÑnot to mention general ÔbusynessÕÑto 'soak up' some of the
HMS 90¨/Immunocal¨ through activityÐinduced oxidative stress, the amount of
mercury purged from my system might have been greater. Overall, my physical
wellbeing has been transformed from that of a painÐplagued middleÐager (including
limiting arthritis in my right knee) in less than a year to someone who feels 20 years
younger. I experience this in the form of improved overall energy, enhanced
physical performance and recovery, better sleep. I am even noticing signs of
antiÐaging, such as improved eyesight for reading, fading age spots and wrinkles,
more rapidly growing nails, and even a returning hairline! To what else could
these changes be attributed other than HMS 90¨/Immunocal¨? All tests, for which
records are on file, were requested through my family physician, the last two of
which were run at the same hospital lab facility. As a detoxifier, glutathione via
HMS 90¨/Immunocal¨ is capable of removing a wide range of toxins from the body.
Hepatitis
Hepatitis B Virus Testimonial # 15
Dear Dr. Petrosino: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) had downed me so much that I was
feeling extremely weak everyday. I had no hope hope that I could find a product that
would help me so much. Thanks to Immunotec for developing this product. After
using Immunocal for nine months, I have realized tremendous results and am getting
more better as time goes by. I have more energy and vitality, and the viral DNA
test indicates that the virus is going down gradually. My doctor was really amazed
about the results and told me to keep using the product since INTERFERON didn't
work for me. The viral count went down from 5500 to only 500 the last time
he did the test, and I hope that I will clear the virus from my system. The liver
function test is extremely good. At this moment, I feel 80% better. I am so excited
to be part of Immunotec family and the product immunocal. I recommend anybody
with HBV to try this product. Best Regards, James Busienei March 27, 2002
Six months ago I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. I always took very good care of
myself, so it was very difficult for me to admit and accept that I had contracted
HCV. Looking back over the past few years, I could see that my energy level was
decreasing. I just thought it was related to my age. My doctor feels that I may not
be a candidate for Interferon and Ribavirin treatment. His plan is to perform tests
every three months for the next year to see if there are any trend lines available to
help further decision making. Three months ago, I started taking one packet of
Immunocal daily, along with other supplements that I was previously taking. I
continued to take one packet daily for around a month and started to feel slightly
better physically. However, I still felt weak and had a hard time getting through the
day. I then decided to take two packets of Immunocal daily, and within a few days
started to feel much stronger physically, and more balanced mentally and
emotionally. I just received my first three-month set of test results. I compared them
with previous test results and could clearly see an improvement. I am Optimistic that
I will continue to improve and look forward to my next three month test results.
Thank you for introducing me to Immunocal.
Sincerely, Anthony Talis

Chronic indigestion Testimonial: # 20:
I take HMS90 for my overall health. Specifically, the best benefit I see is that after 20
years of chronic indigestion, the problem is gone. The constant painful bloating
and burning sensation has ceased. It is hard to believe that I don't feel
uncomfortable anymore! Immunocal has regulated my digestion. Mrs. Mary Sutton,

Cystic Fibrosis
Hi Wally: Here's something that I received from John Molson that you may not have
already. A lady in my Toastmasters group is the President of either the local chapter
of the Cystic Fibrosis Society or the Canadian President (I got this info second
hand so don't know for sure). I had the opportunity to speak with her at the last
Toastmasters meeting and asked if she had heard of HMS-90. She gave me the 'what
are you trying to sell me' look. Then I asked if she had heard of Dr. Larry Lands
because he had done a clinical study using HMS-90 with CF patients. Then she gave
me the 'how do you know about him?' look. She told me that she knew 'Larry' quite
well. I told her that I would email her some info the next day to read as the meeting
wasn't the time or place.
The next morning I was thinking that the only info I really had was the 1999
reference to the study that 'was being done' but I had nothing that spoke of the
results of this study. I wondered why Dr. Lands hadn't mentioned it to Chris Black
(the lady I was speaking to) and if it was because he wasn't happy with the results.
So I emailed John, explained my situation and that Chris would certainly be checking
any info I sent about Dr. Lands with him as she knew he quite well and asked if he
had anything more recent to back up the study. He sent me this! It is just perfect.
When I emailed it to Chris, she emailed back a little while later to thank me for the
info that said that she will 'love to talk to Larry about this!'.
My physiotherapist (who also wants me to do a presentation for her, her staff and
some of her patients before too long) knows Chris quite well and said that she will
definitely go for something like this if she is satisfied that it is legitimate. A Head
Nurse at the hospital here (who is an avid Xtra-Sharp fan and has people waiting to
buy it!!) also knows her and had the same opinion. In my email to Chris, I also
mentioned that I would be happy to do a presentation to her group if she is
interested. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this could turn into something
nice. If I read Chris right, if she is impressed with what HMS-90 can do to help CF
patients, she will definitely be spreading the word through, not only her group, but all
of the groups that she is associated with. Here's hoping. Things are going pretty good
here, Wally. I have a presentation lined up for Friday although probably not as many
people will show up as I had hoped. The newspaper messed up with my ad and did
not put it in this weekend's paper! I have some flyers around town but ... oh well. A
few people have phoned and have said they will be there so guess that's better than
no one!
I signed up a naturopath from Ontario a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Hugh for
sending her to me as she asked to speak with someone IN Canada) and a lady from
PA last week.
My physiotherapist was very interested in the CF study as well and asked if I would
forward her the info too (which I have done) as she knows someone who works in the
Research dept of the U of BC and who is always looking for new information that can
help with asthma. No promises but she was going to be talking (seeing?) her this
weekend and wanted the info give her. I have, of course, checked my Immunoweb
to see where I stand now and what my commission cheque is for January. Needless to
say, I'm a happy camper! A NICE cheque and ... I'm going to get to Montreal for free
after all! I thought I was quite a bit away from reaching the 40,000 pts but I guess I
don't calculate the points the same way that Immunotec does because, by the end of
February, I will be slightly over the 40,000 even if no more new customers or
distributors come in! Of course, any new distributors I will put into Paul's downline to
try to reach Gold as soon as possible. I am just thrilled, Wally!
It feels so good to know that I can continue working this business full time! My
confidence has increased by leaps and bounds and I have gone from 'thinking' that I
can make this work to 'knowing' I can! What a difference that little change makes!
Well, that's my update for now. Talk to you later! Penny
Eight year-old Zach, a cystic fibrosis patient, loved baseball. He was smaller than
the rest of the kids, but it was shortness of breath and recurrent respiratory
problems, not height, that kept him off the team. He took more care of his nutritional
needs and was good about taking his additional vitamins and antioxidant
supplementation. His parents learned how to provide him with home aerosol
treatments by mask. He has been using both oral and nebulized (by mask) Mucomist
(N-acetylcysteine). Although primarily used as a "bench-warmer," Zach is back on the
team.
Note from the author of this page: The Celine Dion Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation for Kids is using Immunocal.
I am 56 years old and all of my life I have suffered from IBS. I wore either
diapers or super absorbent, large pads to protect my clothing in case of accidents,
which I often had. It got to the point of my not wanting to go out of the house. The
pain and bleeding was unbearable at times. My dad had gone through surgery last
summer and after a two month hospital stay started taking HMS90(Canadian name
for Immunocal). In two and a half weeks time I saw a dramatic difference in his
health, well-being and state of mind. Though sceptical as to what this product could
do for my health concerns, I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time
that at my sisters urging I decided to try HMS90. Taking only one package per day,
in three months the diarrhoea and bleeding stopped, as did the severe pain. It all
disappeared! I had prayed and asked God to please help me get well and feel better
and my prayers have been answered. I started taking HMS90 on December 3rd. 2003
and now in May of 2004 I have energy and an overall feeling of well-being and after
years of fear as to what may happen if I go out in public I can go out with confidence
no longer afraid of ‘accidents’. For years I have been unable to eat salads, raw
vegetables and fruits as it caused so much stomach pain and irritated my bowels. It
is wonderful to be able to eat large salads with raw vegetables, to munch on carrots
and raw fruits, not once in a while, but everyday!!! I believe God answered my
prayers with HMS90. I also take the Pure Milk Calcium for my bones and the Xtra
Sharp. I have more energy now than I can ever remember. I have also noticed a
dramatic difference in my breathing, as I am an asthmatic and have been on
medication since I was a child. My use of my inhaler has dropped from daily to
maybe once per week. Certain allergens would cause lung infections, but not any
more. A two-week asthma prescription now lasts for up to three months. Life just
keeps getting better!

Arthritis Testimonial # 25:
Ok I will pass my little testimonial on to you and you can pass it on if you so choose.
My name is Judy Murphy I am a professional dog groomer in Whitby Ontario. I have
been grooming now for 7 years and at the age of 42 I am going to be grooming for
at least another 10 years thanks to hms 90. I was diagnosed with arthritis at the
age of 35 and was having a lot of problems with my hands seizing up and causing
a lot of pain and discomfort. With pet grooming there is a lot of strain on the
hands and joints along with the back and hips. I use scissors and am in water
constantly along with a lot of lifting and bending. If it were not for the hms I would
have had to retire 5 years ago. Because of HMS90 the career that I love and depend
on was not sacrificed, I will be taking this product for the rest of my life and I am so
very thankful for it. Anyone with arthritis should be directed to this stuff. It is an
amazing product and the results speak for themselves. Thank you Immunotec

Eyesight Testimonial # 27
My name is Carl Schenholm. I am an 82 year old retired veterinarian, who has had
macular degeneration for about 7 years. For about the last 2 years, my condition has
been static with scar tissue. I have visited specialists at Wilner Eye Institute at Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore, Bascom Palmer in Miami, Duke University Eye Center and Dr.
Meir Schneider at the Institute for Self Healing in San Francisco. All of them said there
was nothing that could be done because of the scar tissue. After being on 2 to 3
packs a day of Immunocal for 119 days, the spinning lights in the back of my eyes
suddenly turned from white to orange. After 4 more days, I was able to see my face
in the mirror while shaving (180 degrees with the left eye) for the first time in years. I
was also able to see my wife’s face. The black spot in my central vision of the left eye
lightened to gray. I feel there is a 10% improvement in my vision which still remains
after 2 months. My right eye seems to be slightly better as of today. August 7, 2005 I
am now taking 2 packs of Immunocal twice a day, and the black areas in both eyes
are becoming more porous around the edges. My left eye continues to see through
180 degrees and my right eye is slightly less foggy in the center. I am continuing to
use Dr. Meir Schneider’s self-healing techniques, such as palming and sunning the
eyes and reading exercises

I stopped the Immunocal just to see what differences there would be. The
immediate difference was that my eyesight went back to being slightly blurry
all the time. I'm back on the Immunocal. I wasn't interested in finding out what other
differences there were. :>) Linda Atkinson, Admin. Ops. Specialist, Executive

Hello Leroy, I've been out of town for an extended time, due to the passing of my 98
yr. old Father-in-law. Thank you for the testimony of your friend. I'm going to print it
and pass it on to my mother for a friend of hers at the retirement home where she
lives. It is very timely. I'd like to add my praises of Immunocal. This past spring my
chiropractor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, after several months of not
responding to treatment. As a massage therapist, I suspected it, but never
mentioned it to anyone. You know, don't claim something you don't want. I also have
been diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which caused major low back
and groin pain. Now the really good news. After 2 days of taking 2 pouched of
Immunocal daily, NO MORE PAIN. I used to wake up and be aware of the pain
without even moving. Very deep muscle pain in my arms, low back and hips. The
second morning after my double dose of Immunocal, the first thing I noticed when I
woke up was the ABSENCE of pain. I also no longer have I what I referred to as
"foggy brain" syndrome in the afternoons and evenings. Mental clarity has
returned! So very thankful. I'm now on an Immunocal crusade! Shirley
LaVonne, I'm feeling great again and am telling people all the time about how
great Immunocal is and how great the Immunotec Co is. So here goes. I was
diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 15 years ago. Sometimes I would be hurting
and tired and other times I was sure I didn't even have that disease. In this past year
I kept getting hit with it harder and more often. I had tried many natural remedies
since I work at a nutrition center. My sister had been using Immunocal for different
reasons for several months and she kept urging me to try it. One night I was at her
place and I was so tired and in such "fibro fog" that I could hardly function. I told her I
didn't think I was going to be able to keep my job because I was so tired and in so
much pain that I just couldn't remember things or keep things straight. She told me I
really need to try Immunocal and that she had heard some really great testimonies
specifically about Fibromyalgia. When we got home, I had my husband write me a
note so that I would remember to go get some Immunocal the next day. I got started
on it right away and 3 days later, I already noticed that I definitely felt better. Each
day I continued to feel better. The "fog" lifted and my energy was surprising me. I
used to come home from work at 3:30 in the afternoon and fall asleep on the sofa.
After only 3 days on Immunocal I didn't need a nap anymore. I got so excited and so
full of energy that after being on it for only 2 weeks I emailed LaVonne and said
that I needed to become a distributor. I said that I keep running into people with
Fibromyalgia and I can't tell them how good I feel and then not have it readily
available for them. So now I am an excited distributor constantly telling people how
good I feel and what a difference Immunocal has made in my life. I am very
impressed with the company as well as all of their great products. Val Koenig
Got a lady on 2 packs a day that had heard what it did for me and she was crying
and was very depressed, as she had been suffering from chronic fatigue and
Fibromyalgia also. I told her to get on 2 packs a day, that there was hope. About
three weeks later there was a message on my answering machine from her saying
"Linda, you’re right, I feel soo good. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I can't
believe I feel so good.”
The most amazing testimonial I received in the past few days was from a lady in
Arkansas who had Fibromyalgia diagnosed in the early '90's, and who was suffering
chronic pain. She would wake up two to three times each night with pain. Many
therapies had been tried, some with a slight effect, numerous with no effect. After
only three days of taking the product, she was able to sleep through the night
without pain, and after ten days, she was able to get off ALL pain medication! As she
said, "it has changed my life completely". Another gentleman has had no more
headaches after ten years of having them DAILY (never diagnosed after numerous
tests). This is completely awesome. So how does the supplement work? Two of the
components of glutathione are plentiful in the average North American diet, but the
third (cysteine) is NOT. This latter is provided by the supplement, such that
glutathione then is produced within the body. Glutathione itself is not absorbed in
the intestine, so cannot be given orally in that form for any effect. In short, we have a
substance which will prolong life AND combat or prevent many diseases, research
showing that it is beneficial in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergies,
cancer, muscular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and many more. It is
unfortunate that this information is not more widely known or circulated. I realize
that this dialogue is rather lengthy, so you might want to print a copy and study it at
your leisure. I cannot overly stress the benefits of this supplement in improving
health and prolonging longevity. Please give me a call or leave a message. (By the
way, this is NOT to make money for me---it is to help anyone improve their quality of
life and prolong it---anyone who has the sincere desire to DO so!) Positively,
Don Burress, MD

I have felt so much better on Immunocal. My friend gave me some. I have severe
fibromyalgia I mean severe. I hurt all over and vomit in my sleep and have bad
indigestion. My hands go numb and then they burn. I have all the trigger points
of fibro. I hurt so bad it is sometimes hard to walk. Now with Immunocal I have
decorated my house for Christmas. I even went grocery shopping, and bagged the
grocery shopping which would be unheard of before. Before, I could barely shop for
10 items. I could not clean my house. I could not fix dinner. Immunocal has given
back my life. Unfortunately, I cant afford to buy it. My best friend and other friend
who gave it to me are buying me each a case for Christmas, but after that it will be
back to severe ! pain when that runs out. I have told 10 of my fibro friends about
your amazing product. What is the smallest quantity I can purchase? I will be a
guinea pig also for testing so I could get some. I could be one of your case studies.
Well, let me know. Thanks so much, Sincerely, Pam Grissom Wed, 6 Dec 2000
July 4, 2003 Independence Day, This is also descriptive of that day in May, 2003
when I received my first shipment of Immunocal! Don't tell me miracles don't
happen. One occurred right here in my home on that day! I have suffered greatly
from the debilitating pain caused by Fibromyalgia for many years. I am being seen
by a specialist in the field of treatment for patients with Fibromyalgia. I was being
treated with high doses of narcotics and muscle relaxers to treat the pain. At the end
of my rope, I decided, just once, to give good ol' "snake oil" a try. That was when the
miracle happened. I heard of Immunocal from a friend, and after praying about
whether or not to try it, I felt a very strong impression to do so. When the product
arrived in my home, my husband and I once again prayed that this would be the
thing that would give me relief from my pain. I used three envelopes of the product a
day, mixed in Cranberry Juice and in two days-----count them-2 days!- my body
was free from pain. All those years of searching and in two days a miracle occurred,
right here in my own home! I took a dosage amount of three envelopes of the
product a day for a total of 2 months. I have been able to drop down to a
maintenance dosage of two envelopes per day. I still take some medication for pain,
but am slowly getting away from it. I have had one slight flair, just in the past
week.....something about painting the exterior of my house with my husband, and
getting less than my needed rest. So, I just increased my amount of Immunocal to 3
a day again and am already feeling well enough to again drop back down to 2
envelopes a day. I am forever thankful for those people who led me to the
Immunocal and for the answer to my many, many prayers. God has been very good
to me. A Miracle happened!

"I just wanted to let everyone know the results that myself and my husband have
experienced since using the Immunotech products. I have had Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome for a number of years now and since using HMS90 (Immunocal) have
experienced much more energy and clarity of thought. It seems now I can follow
through on things and get them completed. The PNT200 is great for me as it doesn't
take much for me to get overwhelmed. When that happens I just take one or two and
in about 15 minutes I am calm and carry on. But the best thing is my husband's
results. For 4 or 5 years now my husband (a diabetic) has developed a deep purple
black coloring on the lower part of his legs. He asked the doctor and the doctor said
there was nothing that could be done. We knew if something didn't change
eventually it would probably turn gangrenous and he could not only lose the use of
his legs but possibly the legs as well. He started taking HMS90 in July and
generally felt better for taking it so continued and to our amazement his legs have
lost that purple black tone and are basically just a tan color and improving every
day." Thanks again, Lynn Riley December 20, 2001
William, a lawyer from Alabama, noticed a change in his health at age 39. His
initial visits to number of physicians were neither conclusive nor accurate in their
diagnoses, nor were any treatment options helpful. He was unable to carry on his
usual demanding workload and was forced to end his law practice in 1994. His own
research led him to a local CFS support group. They suggested that he consult a
prestigious south-eastern clinic specializing in chronic fatigue. Initial treatment with
vitamins, nutrients and dietary changes proved minimally successful. The head of
this clinic was investigating the use of Immunocal and after William was on the
product 12 weeks, improvement were noticeable. Three months later, he woke up
one morning and "felt well again". That day he picked up his golf clubs for the first
time in five years. Today he is shooting in the low 90's and will be restarting his law
practice in the fall.
Exercise physiology research has proven that raised glutathione (GSH) levels
increase immune function, help resist infection, decrease muscle damage, reduce
recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat
production to muscular development. Whatever the desired result, many athletes
seek to raise their GSH levels to gain an “edge” over their competitors.
As Dr. Jimmy Gutman, MD FACEP describes it, “Glutathione is a peptide (very small
protein) that occurs naturally within the body where it is assembled by individual
cells from its three components-the amino-acids glycine, glutamate (glutamic acid)
and the all important cysteine. Because it contains three amino acids it is referred to
as a tripeptide.” Glutathione has three main functions which can be summarized as;
antioxidant, detoxifier and immune system enhancer. (SEE NEXT PAGE FOR DETAILS
ON GSH FUNCTIONS)
This study was conducted in healthy adults for 1 month using the highest
standard of scientific design (peer-reviewed, double-blind,
randomized, prospective and placebo-controlled study) to ensure
validity of the results. Statistical calculations were performed to analyze the
results.

Soft Tissue
Hello Dean,
I am glad to give you a report on my experiences with HMS90.
I suffered lower back pain for 7 years after a car accident. Another vehicle hit me
from behind at a red light wtih such force that it totally demolished both our cars.
The doctors called it soft tissue damage aggravated by stress. I did therapy, 6
months of acupuncture and massage to no avail. If I dropped something on the floor I
could not bend over to pick it up. And none of the therapy the doctor prescribed
changed this.
The very first week I starting taking HMS90, my backache went away! And I could
now bend over to pick up items I had dropped on the floor. I was thrilled.
After 11/2 years on HMS90 my eye doctor said my eyesight was improving and
changed my eyeglass prescription. Each time I have my eye exam, he has said my
eyesight has improved even further. I take one packet once a day, faithfully. It has
given me a much better quality of life, pain free. I am 60 years old and feel 45.

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial # 53:
I have a good friend who has been on Immunocal next spring three years. She
also will have been diagnosed with MS three years ago at the same time. She
has been in remission ever since. In the winter actually uses their hot tub. And the
summer before she took bike lessons and learned how to ride the Harley her and her
husband bought. She works full time for the government and I know other then in the
beginning she hasn't been forced to lose any time at work because of it. She went
through probably the most stressful time in her personal life as well as at work, and
she came through with just a little numbness in her leg. Everyone with MS should
be on Immunocal, for that matter everyone should be on it. Debbie H. / Alberta,

My name is Karen. One morning in 1995, I woke up in the morning and fell to the
floor --I had partial paralysis along my left side. At first, the doctors thought I
had a stroke, but upon further investigation the final diagnosis was probable
Multiple Sclerosis. I was given intravenous steroids to reduce the swelling in my
brain to give me back my mobility. But that was just the beginning. I was given
Amitriptyline and Carbamazepine for reducing the pain and Dilantin to control
seizures. My blood pressure went sky high (200/165) and I was given Atenol (and of
course waterpills to counteract the side effects of the Atenol). I was taking so many
different drugs, I felt like a regular pharmacy. In 1996, I had another attack where I
partially lost my sight. Everything was fuzzy like real bad reception on your T.V.
This meant more drugs and two weeks in the hospital. After two years of all the
pills and the various attacks, I was really worn out. I was suffering from total
fatigue and couldn't stay awake past 8 pm. Then in November 1997, I was
introduced to Immunocal/HMS 90. After only two weeks, I started to feel the
difference. The pain was diminishing and before long I wasn't taking any more pain
killers. I also said goodbye to the blood pressure pills. BUT most of all, I have energy
again and LOTS of it! I am able to do all the things I used to do before the MS. I got
my life back--- Thank You Immunotec! Karen lives in Toronto, Canada. She is
available to speak with MS patients
March 11, 2001 Hi my name is Beth Moscrop. I am from Peterborough, Ontario and
I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) I am very happy to say that I am doing quite well
with the help of HMS90 (Immunocal) I am not on any medication. I am getting real
good strength in my legs back so I don’t need to take as many rest breaks. I feel that
overall I am feeling a lot better and can deal with stressful situations a lot better. I
admit I still have to pace myself. I can not clean the whole house in one afternoon but
I can do room by room and that is more than I was doing 1 ½ years ago. My daughter
who is five years old makes sure that I remember to take my two packs a day
because she knows that it is helping her mommy. I am so happy to be able to do
things on my own again and still ask for help the odd time. It is great to be able to
drive again and have my vision clear. I can stand and not feel as dizzy (still a bit
but not as much). I can walk through a crowd without feeling too dizzy. Last year at
this time I was using a walker and I was not too strong at all. I do not ever want to be
confined like that again and I thank God and HMS 90 for helping me. Those of you
who have MS please feel free to contact me if you would like to talk and those of you
who don’t have MS just pray to God and thank him for keeping you from this disease.
Thanks Immunotec for your help Beth Moscrop
"I started on Immunocal in November 2000. I met someone on the internet, when
we were talking once I mentioned that I have MS, her reply was "Me too, I have this
nutritional product that you have to try". She was kind enough to send me a months
supply. I tried it and 6 days later I noticed a dramatic eradication of one of the MS
symptom. For months before I had developed an extremely weak bladder causing
me to be incontinent (wetting accidents) so often that I needed to wear bladder
protection. This was a very disruptive symptom that had developed because of MS.
Only 6 days after starting Immunocal I did not have that problem any longer. I still
wore the bladder protection for about 2 weeks or so due to fear that it would return
but every time I was forced to have to "hold it" I had not one drop of an accident. I no
longer need to wear that protection. 6 months later I steadily have more
improvements. The exhaustion I was experiencing has diminished to not noticeable.
My vision and stability has also dramatically improved. I thank God for my friend for
telling me of this incredible product and mostly I thank Immunotec research for
developing Immunocal. " Sincerely, Dawn Turck 05/23/2001
Susan Doppler from North Dakota shared: Hi, my name is Tom Paul and I am
45 years young. This is my story about Immunocal and how it has assisted us in
our fight with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In 1987 I began having various problems
walking, standing, and with my vision. I went in to see my doctor and they indicated I
had MS. I denied having the disease for about eight years, at which time it began to
eliminate my ability to be independent in life i.e., could not walk without falling,
very tired, vision problems. Ruby, my spouse and I determined it was time to
begin to get serious about this MS. We adjusted my diet, and I began taking a
multiple vitamin. This really did not seem to make much of a difference, and some
friends suggested I talk with the Doppler’s regarding nutrition. Sue told me about
Immunocal. I begin to use it and saw some benefits, but still was having
complications due to the MS. Sue suggested that I raise my intake to two packets
a day , I did and since then we’ve seen more improvement. We really believe that
I am doing better because of our faith in God, a good attitude, diet, exercises, and
Immunocal. I was in to see the doctor three weeks ago and they did a spinal tap and
determined by the spinal fluid that the MS is in remission. This is the first time in
three years there has been any improvement. We give the glory to God, the great
supplements that the Doppler’s have introduced us to and a great attitude. Jesus is
our life.........Tom and Ruby Paul

Parkinson’s Testimonial: # 60
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "March 1, 1996 a day I will never forget. It was the day I heard my
neurologist say "Sorry doctor but you have Parkinson's." I was 59 years old with
a fabulous dental practice. I had achieved a level of success and respect through
out the dental community that most men only dreamt of achieving. I had planned
another ten years of practice then to gradually retire. I was looking forward to
traveling the world, winters in the south filled with golf and tennis, a special time of
life to enjoy with my wife but with one word Parkinson's all had changed. My future
was dark and frightening, and all future planning stopped. I was competitive and
aggressive in sports, I enjoyed competition, but how do you fight a disease with no
known cure? Self care had always been very important, as a family we eat according
to the rules of proper nutrition. My dental office gave nutritional counseling to the
patients. I exercised daily by playing squash and competing in the city squash
league. I took vitamin supplements for over 30 years. How could I get Parkinson's?
My attitude changed to "Why bother MY LIFE WAS OVER." You don't need to look
after yourself if all you have to look forward to is sitting in a corner of a nursing home
in a wheel chair shaking yourself to death. With movement disorder disease small
simple procedures become major problems. Shoelaces, buttons, dressing, all become
stumbling blocks. Walking, something that is so natural for everyone, now had
become a major problem, getting worse with every passing day. My brain could not
make my muscles work with the touch required for fine motor skills. This resulted in
frustration that produced a deep and growing anger. I was handicapped and felt
ashamed to be seen limping, I felt alone. But all that has changed, I do have a future
and I will enjoy my old age. HMS 90 ( Immunocal) is giving me back my future. I
have been on HMS 90 for one month and I know there are improvements, they are
subtle but they are there. First thing in the morning and just before bedtime, when all
the benefit of my Parkinson's drugs has passed, I find my walking has improved. I can
tie my shoelaces and do up buttons faster and my fine motor skills have improved,
but the biggest improvement is in my mental attitude, I have a positive sense of well
being. I love life again. We do not know HMS 90's true potential. The body has the
capability to repair tissue damage given the proper circumstances. There may be
undifferentiated brain cells that can be adapted to produce dopamine or the brain
may be capable of repairing cell damage if the immune system is restored to peak
efficiency. By restoring the immune system the body will be able to repair itself. If
one month has produced such a positive response just imagine the healing after one
year of HMS 90, now think of the benefits possible after five years." Sincerely,
Murray Chantler Guelph, Ontario September 20, 2002

Dear Dr. Petrosino: "I have had excellent results within a few days after I started
taking Immunocal. My energy level is 3 times what it was and the Parkinson's
medication is lasting longer between doses. I have even cut back slightly on the
meds. I was having a balance problem and now I am not. I still have the "internal
jittery" feeling late afternoon into the evening. I am taking a packet of Immunocal
first thing in the morning with about 6 ounces of juice. Do you think it would help (or
harm) me if I took a 2nd packet of Immunocal in the afternoon?"

Parkinson’s Testimonial # 62
Glutathione is part of the body's defense system and protects us against the onset
of many disease processes. It can also help to reverse certain conditions or
symptoms, either temporarily or permanently. The following story illustrates the
apparent helpfulness of GSH supplementation in one particular case. Wally, a
seventy-four year-old baseball fan, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in May
1997. His disease progressed quickly and his doctors placed him on Sinemet
(carbidopa/levodopa). In November he began to experience severe headaches -
presumably from the medication - and he discontinued it. Up to this point he had
been a very active man, but now he deteriorated to the point where he could not get
out of bed or even rise from a chair without help. He says movement felt like
"walking in cement". He was constantly fatigued and soon needed a wheelchair to go
outdoors. The doctors used other medications including Eldepryl (selegiline
hydrochloride) and Requip (ropinirole hydrochloride). They helped slightly. In March
1998 he started taking Immunocal, a natural protein which raises GSH levels.
After five days his headaches were gone. Within two weeks his fatigue has
lessened. Two months later Wally was walking well again and was eventually able to
visit the new Angels baseball stadium, Edison Field, and jog around the block. There
was no other therapeutic intervention and seven months later his active lifestyles
continued. Parkinson's disease: 62 year-old Carol maintained an active legal
practice until 1990. After a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in 1986, she was able
for a while to continue her career as a lawyer, but eventually had to quit. The stress
was aggravating her symptoms and the symptoms were in turn increasing her stress
levels. She was treated with a number of different medications but her health
continued to deteriorate until she eventually needed help at home to carry out day-
to-day tasks. She quit driving her car and stopped taking her daily walks, which she
loved. Then, within days of starting to take a bioactive whey protein isolate she
noticed her strength returning. Weeks afterwards she was once more exploring
her neighborhood and nine months later she was driving again

I first remember the onset of stiffness, the slowing of gait, and the gradual loss of
physical mobility in early 1998. But a hectic business travel schedule and family
illnesses, a personal divorce and hundreds of other priorities of life clouded and
overshadowed the issues of Parkinson’s in my life. I was simply too busy to be
“bothered” by health issues!
Literally $12,500 later … after the tests showed no stroke or heart complications … I
was transferred to my current Doctor … Adam Wolff, MD … a brilliant Neurologist
who confirmed my diagnosis as classic Parkinson’s.
Below I have listed my medical treatment history with Dr. Wolff. I experienced some
relief from the Parkinson’s symptoms with the medication regimen, but overall for the
most part, the major disease symptoms remained.
Current Rx History:
Day 3: 1-09-05 Mirapex … (.125 mg) … 3X per day
Day 30: 2-05-05 Mirapex … (.50 mg) … 3X per day
Day 62: 3-09-05 CARB / LEVO … generic for SINEMET (25-100 MG) … 3X per day
Day 64: 3-11-05 Mirapex … (1.0 mg) … 3X per day

Then a very dear friend of mine … (an Immunocal distributor in Denver) … Nan R.
Schouweiler introduced me to Immunocal.
I made the personal decision to start taking Immunocal on May 7, 2005 … (1) packet
a day … faithfully … at the insistence of my dear friend, Nan. I also made a personal
decision NOT to tell any of my family I was taking Immunocal. Immunocal would be
my (and Nan’s) private secret. In that way … any placebo effect I might have …
would be known only to me. All other changes … IF ANY … caused by the Immunocal
… would HAVE to be noticed and observed by others … none of whom knew I was
taking Immunocal !!!
About (3) weeks into the Immunocal program … (1) packet a day … people started
talking about significant changes:
My son (Lee) told me I seemed more alert and my eyes were “not as glassy” as
they used to be … the “scalely” look was gone !!!
My sister (a RN) called and said my “raspy” voice had cleared up and I also
seemed much more alert !!!
A close friend (Jim) … noticed I seemed to be moving easier and “less stiff”
My daughter called and said … “Dad, your mental outlook has greatly improved
… you seem less depressed and melancholy !!!”
My league friends at the bowling alley remarked how much more smooth my
bowling approach was and how much HARDER I was throwing the ball (RIGHT
HANDED) … than they could ever remember … my bowling average from the
fall league had also increased over (50) pins !!!
Other friends remarked … I was smiling more than they remembered in years … I
was actually walking more naturally and not dragging my right leg with my
right arm “frozen stiffly” at my side
I know I am rambling … but since April 18, 2005 … my Parkinson’s RX medication has
been unchanged … and the ONLY VARIABLE in my treatment … has been the
Immunocal !!!
• Saturday … July 23rd … played (7) innings of baseball in 105 degree heat
• Sunday … July 24th … played (9) innings of baseball in 103 degree heat
• Monday … July 25th … walked 3.2 miles
• Tuesday … July 26th … walked 3.2 miles
• Wednesday … July 27th … bowling league
• Thursday … July 28th … walked 1.5 miles
• Saturday … July 30th … played (7) innings of baseball in 101 degree heat
• Sunday … July 31st … played (9) innings of baseball in 100 degree heat
• Monday … August 1st … walked 1.5 miles
• Tuesday … August 2nd … walked 3.2 miles
Nan and I went for my most recent appointment with Dr. Wolff on July 19th. Dr. Wolff
stated he had reviewed the Immunocal info Nan had provided him and he had also
checked out Immunocal with his mentors in Chicago and at Stanford in CA.
Dr. Wolff examined me and reviewed my Diary notes since our last visit in April,
2005. He observed / noted that Immunocal seemed to be having a tremendously
positive effect on my Parkinson’s treatment … and was considering treating some of
his other patients with chronic pain with Immunocal … based on my experiences. Dr.
Wolff … citing my positive results with Immunocal … stated that it was his
recommendation that I continue on Immunocal and not change my RX medication
and check back with him in another 90 days.
Dr. Wolff also stated that Immunocal would also pose no health threats to my
daughter … who started taking Immunocal for her MS … 5 days ago.
Friends … family … loved ones … all who suffer from physical pain and afflictions…
GOD is the only true physician … the only true healer … this is my unwavering
belief !!! Only he can restore our total health … but I personally thank God for
Immunocal … I believe that this natural product is a Godsend for me personally.

Lupus
Donna Maxwell's Story, I was diagnosed in February 2003 with Lupus. I was then
put on three different medications including Prednisone. During the first year of this
treatment, my condition slowly worsened despite the medication that had been
prescribed. The pain in my joints increased to the point it was necessary for me to
begin taking strong pain medication, throughout the remainder of the year. The
nights became very painful for me to the point that I was unable to even have a
good night’s sleep, which also began to affect my work as a hair stylist. There were
days that I was unable to even get out of bed and this continued through out the
second year, and the only treatment that I was getting from the medical
professionals was they increased the dosage of my medication. The week before
March 13, 2005, the pain and suffering was so much that I was unable to get out of
bed; it effected my being able to think correctly. My weight, which had increased
due to the Prednisone had increased a good 25% over my normal weight of 110, then
drastically fell to below 100 pounds. My blood pressure increased to 180/97. The
doctor said that the protein count in my blood was extremely high and that I would
need to take Chemotherapy as the only solution, which I was prepared to do, to save
my life. The treatment for the Chemo was set for the 28th of March. On March 13th,
my mother-in-law, who is a strong believer of natural heath and treatment, heard
about “Immunocal”, and on the 17th, she started me on the product, which I took 1
pack for 2 days, then 2 packs for 2 days, and then to 4 packs per day. After 10
days of treatment, I started to notice a remarkable improvement in my well being.
After 4 weeks of treatment, I felt like a young 20 year old person again, and I am now
43. This is the best that I have felt in over 20 years. This is the best that I have ever
felt and since I have begun using Immunocal I have not missed one day of work. On
the 27th of March, I elected not to have the Chemotherapy to the doctor’s
dismay, and do not regret it one bit. I am weaning myself off of the Prednisone; I am
taking no pain medication at all. To sum it all up, don’t anyone ever try to take away
my Immunocal, under the threat of death. I will stay on Immunocal forever. “I have
a lust for life”. Donna Maxwell.
Lupus Testimonial # 66
"I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in 1991. This disease can
devastate life, as it has in my case. It can cause damage to all the systems of the
body. I'm also hypersensitive to most medicines used to control the symptoms of
Lupus, therefore, I've had to find alternative methods to control it. This has not been
an easy task. But recently a doctor informed me about Immunocal. Since I started
using this product I've experienced a better energy level. So now I can enjoy time
with my family and friends. It's also helping to detoxify my body, due to my sweat
glands working better. I'm happy to have a little of my life returned to me."

Autism
Autism Testimonials # 69
Dear Mr. Roberts: My name is Natalie Stubbs and I reside outside of Atlanta,
Georgia in the USA. My son, Ethan, recently turned 7 and has been taking
Immunocal since he was 6 to 9 months old. At age 4, Ethan was diagnosed
with autism. His most recent set of school evaluations show some unexpected and
very exciting results. The school psychologist remarked, "We know Ethan had autism,
and now it looks like he does not" and could not account for that result. He shows a
range of neurologic abilities never really anticipated for his autism. I am aware that
Immunotec has ongoing trials involving autism going on in Florida. I wondered if you
or any of the doctors would be interested in reviewing Ethan's case as his experience
with your product predates his personal diagnosis of autism and may predate the
onset of your trials. Please feel free to contact me if you believe Ethan's experience
would be beneficial to your efforts to help others like him with your wonderful
product. Immunocal has truly given Ethan a more typical life than anticipated and
appears to have helped him break the limits of his autism. We would love to work
with you to help others in any way possible. Respectfully, Natalie G. Stubbs
Depression
Alzheimer's
My name is June Martin (Distributor #090501), wife of John Martin who was
diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1998. At that time he was forgetful but we still had
a very normal life. By 1999 he had to stop driving and mid-2000 needed to be
watched. In July 2002 he was admitted to VA Nursing Home. Went in walking with a
slight unsteadiness, talking and was continent. In Sept. 2003 he was no longer able
to walk and was incontinent. By November 2003 he had pretty much been silent for
7 or 8 months. He wouldn't open his eyes, couldn't sit up in wheelchair, didn't talk
(just grunted) and drooled constantly. Started the Immunocal in October 2003,
two packets a day and in December I increased his dosage to four. Started seeing
much improvement. He started sitting up straight, opened his eyes more and started
talking again. In June 2004 he went to therapy and was peddling from his wheelchair,
walking with the help of a machine and with no machine the aides held his arms and
he walked with them for quite some distance, talking up a "Storm" while doing so.
He said" I'm going to walk home" He is ‘THE STAR’ of the Nursing Home and the
Drs., Nurses and Aides are my best customers. Especially the aides on double shifts
with the Xtra Sharp. THEY LOVE IT!!!! I have very recently purchased a used
handicap van with a ramp so I can bring him home, take him to the Mall and to the
beach where we can walk the boardwalk. It really stimulates him being out as he
some times asks me if he'll ever “get out of here". John is a "backseat" drives
though!! When we got home one day he said, "When you get a little bit older you'll
drive better"! I'm 71 years young and he is a very young 85 and looks great! Other
than Alzheimer's John is a very healthy man. Think he thought of me as one of our
kids. I could go on and on. It's a miracle!!! All 21 residents that were in the
Alzheimer's Ward when John went in, have passed away and he has been upgraded
(out of that ward) and has gotten much better. God Bless you all at Immunotec.
I'm a two time cancer survivor so needless to say I’m taking Immunocal also. I had
two mastectomies. One in 1987 and the other in 1997, My sister had one in 1952
and is still alive at 80!! My mom died at 85 of breast cancer. My Dad had lung
cancer in 1949. They took out lung and he lived another 15 years. A brother died of
brain tumor after surgery at age 36 in 1963. Another brother died of bone cancer at
age 47 in 1977. My only brother left is in a Nursing Home in MA. because of
Alzheimer's. Very healthy though otherwise. As soon as I make enough money as
Distributor will send him Immunocal too. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IMPORTANT
IMMUNOCAL IS TO MY FAMILY!!
Thank you! Thank you. Happy Holidays!! June Martin

"When I started taking Immunocal two and a half years ago, I did so because of the
information that was known on cancer. I needed to be able to prevent against after
having lost both my parents to it. But then I realized that it wasn't only for the cancer
prevention. Now for the first time in my life I am acutally healthy." "I know two
gentlemen on Immunocal, one no longer shows the signs of Alzheimer's Disease
and the other after seventeen years of shaking with Parkinson's is able to eat in

Allergies
Allergies Testimonial # 75 : Peter Reed Dear Hugh and Dr. Petrosino:
Please send another (2) two more 30-pack boxes of Immunocal to my mailing
address. My wife and I are finding great value in using your Immunocal. Both of us
have severe seasonal pollen allergies. Denise was taking over the counter drugs
twice a day to control her symptoms. She has not taken these drugs in the two weeks
since she began using Immunocal and it is the height of her allergy season. What
surprised me was that her relief came within 24-hours of starting the protocol. Taking
Immunocal twice a day is giving her better symptomatic relief than those drugs and
they had side effects. Thank you! I have been taking Immunocal for three weeks. It
took three years of allergy shots to reduce my allergies to this low of a level of
symptoms. I have been through 4 protocols of allergy shots in my thirty-seven years
of suffering. None have worked better than Immunocal and certainly none have
worked as quickly. Sincerely Peter Reed Oakland, California
This testimonial was given at the Immunocal Seminar at the Portland Airport
Sheraton, Portland, OR on March 7, 2001. Hello, my name is Tom Salazar and I am
from here, from Portland. Thank you all for coming this evening for an opportunity of
great health and wealth. It's a privilege for me to be here and I'll tell you why. I'm a
computer drafter that stares at a screen for 8 hours a day. I used to have a list of
health challenges that were as long as my arm. They ran from A to Z, from allergies,
athlete's foot down to zits and everything in between. It was so apparent to one of
my co-workers, that he said, "Man, you were born on the wrong planet, man". Well
back last December, serendipity if you will, I like to say God's Will in disguise, I heard
about this product called Immunocal, and about its therapeutic value covering a long
list of health conditions. I thought, "Right", who wrote their script, "a Hollywood
Tabloid?" Yet, it caught my interest because their list paralleled my list. I came on
that cold windy night on December 7th, and once I heard the facts, I could not help
but get involved. It was for me a day that will live in infamy as far as diseases are
concerned. Now I can run without gasping for air. I don't need to constantly use
nasal sprays to clear my nasal passages. Now I don't go to bed tried and wake up
tired. I don't need to go and have my liver checked for damage because of the
prescription drug that I was taking. I don't need to worry about bloating up to 260
pounds because of mind-altering antidepressant prescription. Boy, you talk about me
being fat and happy! In addition, I don't need to worry about the high cost of a
prescription that came in a box about the same size as Immunocal. All the others
prescriptions that were costing more than I wanted to pay because my insurance
would only cover so much and I landed up paying the big difference. You know, in
this light of high prescription cost, and the cost of an array of specialty herbs and
supplements, I cannot afford not to take Immunocal and for more reasons than one.
Folks, Folks, I am telling you this is for real. This is why I believe that Immunocal is
destined to become the, Now listen now, The number one nutritional supplement of
choice, WORLDWIDE! Tom Salazar

Dear Dr. Petrosino: A good friend of mine was all excited after hearing a presentation
by Dr. Jimmy Gutman about Immunocal. In the question and answer session that
followed his presentation she asked if Immunocal (HMS90 in Canada) could help
someone with chronic bronchitis. When he answered that even individuals with
emphysema had been helped, she couldn't wait to tell me about this "breakthrough
in cell defense." I had been plagued with bronchitis for over 10 years and I can
honestly say that I was doubtful that anything could help me, but she persuaded me
to try it for two months. After six weeks of only one package a day, my lungs were
completely clear. Even when I go to play pool in a smokey bar, I don't go to bed
wheezing like I used to. It's helped my little girl with her asthma, too. THANK YOU,
DR. BOUNOUS (the inventor), FOR HMS 90!" Sincerely, Joe J. Calgary, AB February 18,

Hi Scott,
I tried calling, but was told your voice mail was not set up yet. So thought I'd write. I
am doing well. In fact, on June 1st, when I turned 71 years old, I did a tandem sky
dive. It was wonderful and I plan on doing one every birthday for as long as I can. I
never miss taking my Immunocal, and since I have been taking it, I have not been
sick for one day. There have been people with colds and flu all around me. I clean for
several people and have been in homes where there were sick people that sounded
pretty contagious, but I never came down with anything. I feel I have Immunocal to
thank, and also you Scott for bringing it to my attention. By the way, we jumped
out at 13 thousand feet, then five thousand feet of free fall at 120 miles an hour (that
took l minute) and then floated the rest of the way. It was just GREAT. Hope all is
going well on your end. Sincerely, Elinor
LUNG DISEASE
One of the most distressing symptoms that anyone can experience is shortness of
breath – dyspnea. Patients describe themselves as ‘not getting enough air’. This
triggers a series of physiological and behavioral reactions that include increased
heart rate, blood pressure and hormonal secretions accompanied by a feeling of
general panic. Shortness of breath is a common symptom of many respiratory
illnesses.
Just as the gut separates and absorbs food from the outside world into the body, the
lungs are a passage for the exchange of used air and fresh air. But there’s a crucial
difference between food and oxygen – we can’t store oxygen. We must meet a
second-by-second demand for the life-giving element or die within minutes. The
body responds immediately to any interference with this exchange.
Over 30 million Americans are affected by chronic lung disease. Dozens of illnesses
can affect the respiratory system. The study of pulmonary (lung-related) medicine is
vast and complicated. It deals with congenital problems like cystic fibrosis, acquired
diseases like bronchitis and self-inflicted problems like smoking. The importance of
GSH in the respiratory system cannot be overstated. We can’t address every known
respiratory problem but we will discuss a large number of common and not-so-
common ailments, including:
Asthma Cystic
fibrosis
Bronchitis, acute and chronic Pulmonary
fibrosis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary Cancer
disease (COPD)
Emphysema Pneumonia
Adult respiratory distress Toxic
syndrome (ARDS) exposures
Tobacco
abuse
ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma causes constriction of the bronchioles (airway
passages). Figure 34 shows the windpipe and lungs, and cross-
sections of normal and narrowed air passages (bronchioles). Asthma is
always unpleasant and sometimes even fatal. The intensity of asthma
attacks vary, but all are characterized by a feeling of tightness in the
chest, shortness of breath, restlessness, coughing and wheezing.
Although asthma is reversible and intermittent, it tends to recur and is
generally considered a chronic condition. It is one of the most
common causes of absenteeism and hospital admission in school-age
children, among whom it is most prevalent. It currently affects about
15 million Americans and is on the rise.
It has been long thought that low levels of glutathione and glutathione
peroxidase levels play a role in the onset and progression of asthma.
Numerous studies in asthmatics have identified such abnormalities in
their red-blood GSH, white-blood cell GSH, serum GSH, platelet GSH
and lung-fluid GSH. There is a direct correspondence between low
glutathione levels and the severity of the asthma attack.
CASE STUDY
Jean-Pierre, a financial analyst, suffered from allergies and asthma his
whole life. Summers were particularly bad and he often had to leave
his native Montreal for weeks in August to escape the ragweed allergy
season. In early summer, he was started on a program of NAC (N-
acetylcysteine), L-cysteine, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, multivitamins
and stinging nettle (Urtica dioici). That season, he reported having to
use his Ventolin inhaler (salbutemol, a bronchodilators for asthma) only
two or three times a week, rather than two or three times a day, and
his use of antihistamine drugs was at a minimum. He’s even ventured
to go camping with his girlfriend.
BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, AND COPD
Bronchitis is an inflammation or obstruction of the bronchi, the larger
airways that eventually branch out to become the bronchioles (the site
of asthma). It resembles asthma in some ways, their common
symptoms being shortness of breath, a phlegm-producing cough, chest
discomfort and occasional wheezing. Bronchitis has two distinct forms
– acute or chronic. They differ in important ways.
PULMONARY FIBROSIS
Pulmonary fibrosis is also called fibrosing alveolitis or interstitial
fibrosis, among other things. It is a non-specific condition in which the
lungs respond to damage by the production of scar tissue (fibrosis).
This leads to stiffness of the lungs and difficulties clearing secretions.
It also interferes with gas exchange. Its causes include numerous
bacterial, viral or fungal infections and inhaled toxins, dusts (organic
and inorganic) and chemicals. Occasionally stomach contents can be
inhaled to the detriment of the lungs. Other diseases are involved less
often, such as certain autoimmune disorders (mistaken immune
response to healthy processes), sarcoidosis (a multi-system
inflammatory disorder), or collagen-vascular diseases (rheumatoid
arthritis, lupus, polyarteritis nodosa, scleroderma and
dermatomytosis). This disease is often an unwanted result of radiation
therapy or chemotherapy. The standard treatments have limited
success.
CASE STUDY
With a background in law from her native France, Nona became
actively involved with business and philanthropological pursuits in
Canada. She was a 41 year-old mother of three suffering from
Hodgkin’s disease and requiring both chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Although these treatments cured her of Hodgkin’s disease, the
treatments left her lungs scarred – the condition of pulmonary fibrosis.
Her interests had to be dropped as her breathing deteriorated. She
ended up staying at home, using home oxygen and many medications.
Despite all interventions, her pulmonary function tests (PFT’s)
continued to fall. After six weeks of Immunocal 20 grams/day she went
back to her pulmonary doctor, claiming she could breath again.
Thinking there might be a placebo effect; the physician repeated her
pulmonary function tests, which showed her back at about 90% of
normal values. To eliminate other possibilities, the Immunocal was
withdrawn. She subsequently deteriorated again. Three weeks after
reinstating the Immunocal, her PFT’s went back up to 95% of normal
values. She promised herself never to stop again.
CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Cystic fibrosis affects many organ systems, but particularly the lungs.
It is also called mucoviscidosis because it secretes a sticky mucus
which neither lubricates nor flows freely in the nose, throat, airways
and intestines. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common inherited
diseases in North America and affects some 30,000 people. Survivors
live to an age of about 28 years, depending on the extent of pulmonary
involvement.
Dr. Larry Lands, director of the cystic fibrosis clinic at McGill University
in Montreal, aptly points out that inflammation is central to cystic
fibrosis, that inflammation always precedes lung infection, and that
lung infection almost inevitably follows severe inflammation.
Continued inflammation depletes antioxidants and GSH even more and
a vicious circle ensues.
CASE STUDY
Eight year-old Zach, a cystic fibrosis patient, loved baseball. He was
smaller than the rest of the kids, but it was shortness of breath and
recurrent respiratory problems, not height, that kept him off the team.
He took more care of his nutritional needs and was good about taking
his additional vitamin and antioxidant supplementation. His parents
learned how to provide him with home aerosol treatments by mask.
He has been using both oral and nebulized (by mask) Mucomyst (N-
acetylcysteine). Although primarily used as a “bench-warmer,” Zach is
back on the team.
CONCLUSION
An impressive amount of research has made clear the critical
importance of antioxidants and GSH in all these pulmonary diseases.
Unlike most other tissues, the lungs can use GSH as-is – through direct
contact – rather than having to first absorb its precursors and then
manufacture it, s is the case elsewhere in the body. There are many
ways to elevate pulmonary GSH, including oral, intravenous and
inhaled therapies. In the next few years we will see increased use of
these products to raise glutathione levels in acute, chronic and critical
care patients.

Bone Density Pages 61 - 62 Testimonial 82
Betty’s Mom: In the fall of 1998, my mother had a bone density test and a
diagnosis of osteoporosis was confirmed. In Nov. of 1998 she started on
Immunocal for her emphysema, diabetes, hypertension, elevated
cholesterol, and irritable bowel syndrome. In Feb. 1999 a Doctor put her on
Evista (a selective estrogen receptor modulator) The Doctor had put several women
with osteoporosis on Evista and was monitoring all of these women for his own small
study. He was told Regina was taking a food supplement (Immunocal) but he was not
concerned and told her she could continue if she so desired. In the fall of 2000 she
had a bone density test done along with the other women in this small study. Regina
was the only woman in this group who not only had an improvement in her diagnosis
but now had a normal bone density as in a young adult. Because of the side effects
she experienced while on Evista, one being severe leg cramps, her Doctor told her to
discontinue the Evista as she didn’t need it. The bone scan done 10/10/00 showed
Betty’s mother’s bone density as normal. She took 3 packs of Immunocal per day for
several months and went to 2 packs before the bone scan. She now has to take only

Brian's Battle by Karen O'Handley Testimonial # 84:
Wouldn't you agree that when someone you love is very ill, you would search high
and low to find something to help them. regain their health? Most assuredly you
would. And when you find that "something" that helps your loved one, wouldn't you
want others to know about it? Without a doubt! My name is Karen O'Handley, and I
have been asked by many people to write this story about my son, because it has
given hope to those going through their own difficult health challenges.
In May of 2002 I took my 19 year old son Brian to our primary physician Dr.
Raymond Dann because of a swollen, area on the right side of his back. Brian
thought he might have pulled a muscle while playing baseball, however the swelling
wasn't going down. Since the location of the swelling also involved the underside of
his right arm, I was hoping another possibility might be a swollen lymph gland.
Upon examining Brian, Dr. Dann immediately became concerned about the look and
feel of the area, so he ordered a CT scan to be performed the next morning. Four
days later Brian and I went back for the results.
Imagine my complete shock and disbelief when we were told that the CT scan
showed the following: a large tumor in Brian's right scapula (shoulder blade), as
well as a large mass under his right arm; a growth in the sternum bone in his chest
that had already damaged the bone; a growth over his heart the size of a small fist;
and multiple metastases (nodules) in BOTH of his lungs. It was impossible for me to
comprehend that my only child had stage IV cancer, because at 6'2" with an athletic
build he looked as healthy as a horse, and he was not in any pain. Plus, he had never
smoked or abused alcohol or drugs, and he lived a morally clean lifestyle. He was
also very active with baseball, basketball and football, and he played the drums and
the guitar. I can only imagine the thoughts that were racing through Brian's mind
when he heard the news! I tried my best to remain strong for my son's sake, but the
tears flowed down my face as I drove us home from the doctor's office.
Later that same week Brian had a full body bone scan, and a biopsy was performed
on the mass under his right arm. A few days later we were given the diagnosis:
Ewing's Sarcoma/PNET, a rare and very aggressive cancer that most often strikes
young children. It is usually a bone cancer, however it can be soft tissue, and in
Brian's case it was both. Naturally, I knew nothing about this cancer, in fact I had
never heard of it -- but I had to quickly educate myself. This was an emotionally
difficult thing to do, because everything I read was absolutely horrifying, as well as
depressing. There is a very low survival rate with Ewing's and it is very difficult to
stop this cancer because it is so resistant to treatment. In some cases, the tumors
are known to double in size daily.
Next, armed with all Brian's test results, we visited 2 oncologists, a surgeon and a
radiologist to see what could be done to help my son. However, because of the
spread of the cancer, at that point surgery and/or radiation were out of the question.
The only treatment that could be recommended was mega, doses of chemo, however
the possible side effects from the treatment were horrific. We were told that any of
the following could happen: brain hemorrhaging, collapsed veins, spontaneous
internal bleeding, heart damage, liver damage, kidney damage, bladder damage,
sterility, and severe deep depression. The question rolling around in my mind after
hearing the list of possible side effects was: Which was the lesser of two evils -- the
aggressive cancer or the toxic treatment? Additionally, we were told he would need
blood transfusions every 3 - 4 weeks due to the damage to his blood supply from the
chemo. All of this was unacceptable to me, on many levels. Also, it didn't make sense
to fill my son with toxic chemicals when he already had a severely
weakened immune system -- why else would he have cancer? I decided there had to
be another answer "out there", and that I had to build up Brian's immune system
before he could undergo such a dangerous medical treatment. For the next 7 months
we visited many natural practitioners, herbalists and nutritionists, as well as a
renowned cancer clinic in Mexico. With the help and support of our loving friends,
donations were collected and several fund raisers were held in order to raise the
many thousands of dollars that had to be spent in order to use these types of natural
supplements and treatments, because our health insurance covered none of it.
Unfortunately, these natural treatments were not strong enough to stop Ewing's
Sarcoma. In fact, the most visible sign of the cancer -- the mass under Brian's arm --
was rapidly growing larger.
It had grown so huge that he could no longer put his arm down by his side, and his
skin covering the mass had deep purple stretch marks because of the rapid growth.
Outwardly, the mass had wrapped around to the front of his chest, and was pushing
in the right side of his chest. Inwardly, it was wrapping around his lung. The bones of
his right shoulder and the top of his arm were pulled out of alignment because of the
expansion of the mass, so his right shoulder sloped downward and became 2-3
inches wider than the left shoulder. His upper body was noticeably deformed. He was
now also in a lot of physical pain, as well as emotional pain. (Visualize slicing a
football lengthwise, placing one of those halves under your arm, contouring it to your
shoulder blade to wrap around to the front of your chest. Imagine how you would
feel, and how Brian must have felt.) At this point, the only thing my son wanted to do
was close his eyes and go to sleep in death. I was at my wit's end, because it was
obvious nothing natural was going to stop this monster growing inside him. I knew he
would have to undergo the mega doses of chemo -- but what was going to protect his
body from the horrific side effects? I had spent many sleepless nights worrying about
my son, but this night in particular was very difficult. I felt as though Brian was a
lamb going to the slaughter, and I beseeched God with many tears that night to show
me what to do for my son, and send me to the right person to help him.
The next morning at 8:00 the phone rang, and it was a woman named Betty Murray --
a friend of a friend. She had heard about Brian from one of my closest friends, Joyce
Keenan, and about how I was searching for something to help his immune system.
She called to tell me about a product with a strange name: IMMUNOCAL. I
remembered my tearful prayer the night before, and I knew then and there that I was
supposed to listen to what she had to say. Betty told me right away that she didn't
know a lot about Immunocal because she was a new distributor and just learning
about the product, so she was smart enough to get an expert on the phone to talk to
me -- Jim Spencer.
To make a VERY long story a little bit shorter: Brian went through 4 months of the
mega doses of chemo beginning in March '03, under the supervision of oncologist
Dr. Leo Orr. The only side effect he experienced was total hair loss, which rapidly
grew back when chemo ended. He maintained a good appetite, and he gained 10
pounds. Blood transfusions were never suggested, and he never became anemic.
When his white blood cell count would drop as expected after each round of
chemo, he simply had to give himself Neupogen shots in the thigh for a few days,
and the WBCs would go up again. The huge mass under his arm responded very
quickly to the chemo by softening, and then slowly it began to shrink. When the
chemo protocol was completed, another CT scan was performed so a comparison
could be made to the original one done in May '02. Dr. Orr gave us a lot of positive
news: the metastases (nodules) in the lungs were shrinking, and there weren't as
many; the mass over his heart was completely GONE, and the heart returned to
it's normal size (in the previous scan it was noticeably swollen); the cancer in the
sternum was GONE, and the damaged bone healed in and was smooth in
appearance (even Dr. Orr was amazed at that, because chemo does not HEAL
anything -- it is designed to destroy -- yet Brian's body healed itself while he was
on chemo). The mass under his arm was shrinking and the primary tumor in his
shoulder blade was a little bit smaller, so the green light was given for Brian to
begin 6 weeks of radiation treatments, 5 days per week. (NOTE: I also give credit
for the recovery of Brian's bones to another unique product that Immunotec
Research makes called PURE MILK CALCIUM, which we take everyday.) Radiation
therapy began a few weeks later under the supervision of Dr. Eva Lean and Dr.
David Hodgens, and the targeted area was the right shoulder blade and the mass
under his arm. I was expecting some kind of nasty side effects because I had read
a lot about radiation complications. But the only thing Brian experienced was
bright pink skin, which looked like a sun burn. It never hurt, nor did it require any
cream or lotion. While undergoing this treatment the mass under his arm got
MUCH smaller -- it was obvious the cancer cells were dying quickly, and not
resistant at all. (I continued giving him 4 packs daily of Immunocal throughout all
of the radiation treatment - - in fact he's never been off of it since the first day I
gave it to him.)
New tests were needed to determine the effectiveness of the radiation therapy.
Oncology surgeon Dr. William Bowman had to determine if surgery was necessary
to remove any remains of the tumor from the shoulder blade. We waited the
required 6 weeks after radiation before having more tests, then Brian had a full
body bone scan and an MRI of his upper body in Dec.'03. When the results came
in, we received fabulous news from Dr. Bowman ... there is NO CANCER in any of
Brian's bones, including his shoulder blade, which meant he did not need surgery!
Next we received the MRI results and more great news ... the metastases are ALL
GONE in his lungs; the heart and the sternum are all clear and ALL OF HIS ORGANS
ARE "NORMAL", including his lymph glands. Finally, in Jan.'04 Brian had a biopsy of
the area where the mass had been. The biopsy slides were examined at the
pathology lab where the procedure was performed, and then they sent the slides
for confirmation to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia to be reviewed by a
specialist. Both labs confirmed it ... no cancer cells were found ... MY SON IS
CANCER FREE! Isn't that amazing? What an incredible blessing! We didn't expect
to hear such fabulous news after just ONE YEAR of taking Immunocal daily. I was
expecting that we'd be fighting this battle a lot longer, so you can imagine how
relieved we feel! From this point Brian will have follow up MRIs and labs (blood
work, etc.) every 4 months so we can monitor his recovery.
As I write this (April 2004), Brian is 21 years old and will be 22 in July. It was just
under 2 years ago, in May 2002, he was first diagnosed with a deadly stage IV
cancer. He has his life in front of him again, thanks to Immunocal and the
excellent medical care he received from many caring, talented doctors and
nurses. Brian's primary physician, Dr. Raymond Dann, tells his patients:
"Immunocal is the reason Brian is alive today." So naturally, he will stay on
Immunocal for the rest of it! He is presently taking 3 packs daily, and I will keep
him on that dose for a long time because he's going through a tremendous
recovery process. After all, his body has been through quite a trauma, and his
immune system needs to recover not only from the cancer, but the chemo and
radiation as well. We just have to be patient, which can be hard, because Brian
wants "to make up for lost time" and get on with his life. And naturally, I want that
for him too.
In closing, I thank God for allowing Dr. Gustavo Bounous to make the discovery of a
simple whey protein that helped the control mice in a clinical study to live longer
than the ones that were not fed the specialized protein, even when the control mice
were injected with cancer cells. I also thank God for giving my son his life back, when
surely he was going to die from such a horribly aggressive cancer. I am so grateful
that Betty Murray had the courage to call to tell me what she knew, because she was
an answer to my prayers. And I am also grateful to Immunotec Research for the
opportunity to make a living working full time from my home, helping people regain
their health while also helping those in my downline organization that are committed
to increasing their income. What's not to like about that?
December 1996 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily, I was operated on
December 24th. Janurary 6th I was given the pathologist's report and I would need to
have chemotherapy and radiotherapy. My first chemo was on January 24 and I
was to do 12 sessions. The doctor told me that I could have different reactions to the
chemo like vomiting, nausea, hair loss, sores in my mouth, etc. To counteract I was
to do 24 sessions of radiotherapy simultaneously. If there were any complications I'd
have antibiotics prescribed. After checking me out and prescribing the antibiotics, Dr.
Dowell introduced me to HMS/90. He explained that it would help my immune system
and being a pro-anything natural, I became interested in this food supplement. Two
days after my 10th chemo session I began taking HMS/90. Incredibly, I had already
noticed a change in my system ... I was especially interested in HMS/90 for its
detoxification process since it would help my body eliminate the drugs. I had more
energy than I have had in a long time and my body recovered from chemo much
quicker without any side effects! This is definitely due to HMS/90. I continue to take
HMS/90 faithfully and continue to build up my strength and hope to be back to
normal in a few months. HMS/90 has given me a better quality of life. . I would be
pleased to talk with you... Mary Levers
Dear Herb,
About two years ago, Norman became very ill with Congestive Heart Failure and
Pneumonia. In the hospital they found Prostate Cancer. Norman could not walk
10 feet without being totally out of breath. With medication, and herbs, there was
some improvement. During this time, our friends Cathy and Bob called and told us
about Immunocal. I asked them to send it out as soon as they could. Norman started
taking 3 envelopes a day and in a month he was getting up, going out in the yard
doing things. When we went to the Doctor, Norman’s PSA had dropped from 53 to
0.4. Today, he is not on any medication, but takes 2-3 envelopes of Immunocal a day,
and is doing very well.
Complaining of abdominal pains, Louisa from Alberta found out she had ovarian
cancer. While awaiting surgery, she fell ill with a persistent cough and malaise which
turned out to be a metastasis (spreading cancer) which had traveled to her lung.
She ultimately needed pelvic surgery to relieve her discomfort, but decided not to
undergo treatment for her lung metastasis. She started taking Immunocal and
multivitamins daily and noticed a great improvement after several weeks. Four
months later, repeat chest x-rays showed no increase in tumor size. Nine month later
the radiographs revealed a decrease in tumor size. Louise continues to enjoy tending
to her family and household
Herb,
I wanted to let you know the good news that my father was declared cancer free this
week. As you probably remember, he was diagnosed with stage four non-
Hodgkin's lymphoma last year. As a 78 year old man, his prognosis was not
particularly good. He had a sizable tumor in his throat close to his artery and another
in his groin. When they did further tests they found one more under one arm.
Because the tumors presented themselves on different sides of his body, the
assumption was that the cancer was already throughout his system and was well
established. The doctor's first concern was the size of the tumor in his throat which
was threatening his artery to the brain. Surgery was required to remove a piece of it
but the part closest to the artery had to be left behind. The second concern was not
knowing if dad could withstand the potency of chemotherapy that would be required
to fight this type of cancer.
Through out the last few months, the doctor grew increasingly more and more
optimistic as he watched dad's progress. And last week, after a CAT scan, dad was
told that there was no cancer to be found in his body!! He still will go through a few
more rounds of chemo, but at this time he has beat it! We are praising God for His
mercy and so very grateful that there are tools like Immunocal to be useful at this
time in history! Herb, you won't be surprised to know that the doctor would like some
Immunocal information now. I guess he's seen enough that he's willing to take the
time to give it a better look! Thank you again for your persistence in getting us to
take Immunocal seriously- you might have just saved a life! Love to you, Pat

This is what Immunocal has done for me. In July of 99 I was diagnosed with
throat/neck cancer in stage D, and given only a 20% chance of survival over 6
months. I had an operation on 1 SEP 99 and 33 days of radiation during the months
of Nov and Dec of 99. I started taking Immunocal in Oct of 2000. I had my first follow
up with the doctor in March of 2001 at which time the doctor stated that where the
operation had taken place there was no cancer. However on the other side of my
throat I had developed a new lump that was 3.0 cm in size. I continued to take
Immunocal and had my next visit in June 2001. The doctor stated that I was cancer
free and the lump on the other side had shrunk in size to 2.5 cm. and that we would
just watch it for a while. On my next visit Oct 2001 I was told by the doctor that I was
cancer free and that the lump on the other side was gone. It is now June of 2002, I
take Immunocal (2packets a day) on a daily basis and I am still cancer free. I am
thoroughly convinced that I am cancer free this day due to the regular and continued
use of Immunocal. Immunocal also helps me to maintain a good and steady blood
glucose reading, I average 70 to 130 on a steady basis, and that is excellent for a
100% insulin dependent diabetic, I also wear an insulin pump. May you take
Immunocal and have the success with the products of Immunotec that I have had
Dear Sylvia,
I have just returned from my 6 monthly catscan and want to share the joy of a good
report with you. As you know, I had my first major operation for my gastric cancer
and cancer of the esophagus over 5 years ago. Unfortunately it re-appeared and
re-appeared several more times and within the first 2 years I had 4 major operations.
You kept telling me to try IMMUNOCAL / HMS 90 but I did not have confidence in this
type of product. However, after 4 operations I had nothing to lose. My surgeon
refused to operate again and suggested chemotherapy. I have seen side effects of
this treatment and did not look forward to it. I finally listened to you and started my
daily IMMUNOCAL /HMS 90.Thank you for being so persistent. The last 3 years I am
now perfectly clear. The chances of surviving this type of cancer are less than 5
percent and the oncologists at the Vancouver Cancer Clinic call me the "miracle
patient”. I feel great and I wish to thank you for insisting on using IMMUNOCAL.
When I finally mentioned this to the oncologists today, they wanted to obtain more
details about the product. I you can send me some information, please do so. In the
meantime - all I can say: Thank You. Love, Dad
with a broken down immune system. When that happens we lose the war against
common microorganisms, toxins, even cancer and the like. Last March, Therese
Dion, Celine Dion's mother, met with Bounous, Lands and others to discuss their work
and became fascinated by the new approaches to health and disease management.
``I don't believe in coincidences,'' Mrs. Dion told us this week. ``It all happened at
the time that I learned that Rene had cancer. I called Celine to tell her about
Immunocal. Rene's doctor, who had contacted Dr. Bounous himself, saw no reason
why Rene couldn't take this supplement.'' It is now past six months that Rene has
been adding Immunocal to his daily regimen, with surprising efficacy. Dr. Bounous
points out that ``the discovery that specific whey proteins slow carcinogenesis (the
process of cancer formation) and tumor growth itself have been confirmed by
researchers in Australia, the US and Europe. The tests were conducted on different
species of animals and on different types of tumors. These remarkable proteins which
are also found in mother's breast milk, encourage the cellular production of
glutathione, which acts to strengthen the cells of the immune system. We can
presume that under these conditions, the immune system is more effective in
combating renegade cells and small tumors. ``Preliminary results are encouraging
but this theory must be proven scientifically,'' continues Dr. Bounous. ``This is why
the work of renowned researchers like Dr. Lands is necessary.'' Studies on
Immunocal® will be presented next May at an international conference in New York
organized by the Mount Sinai Hospital. They will deal specifically with the
manipulation of cellular glutathione in the treatment of cancer and AIDS. That's just
the beginning." Céline Dion's Husband Reneé Angelil declared Cancer-Free
Excerpted from an eonline.com news report by Marcus Errico Jun 9, 2000, 1:15 PM
PT "Pop music's most celebrated wannabe mom is (finally) with child. The hitherto
fertility-challenged Celine Dion has announced she's due next March. "We just found
out," she says in a statement Friday. "In three weeks, if all goes well, we'll hear the
heart of our baby, beating inside of my tummy." Last week, Dion, 32, confirmed that
she had undergone fertility treatment in New York to help her jump-start a family
with 57-year-old manager-hubby Rene Angelil. Apparently the procedure was
successful. The news ends a year-long disheartening period for the "My Heart Will
Go On" diva. A year ago, she announced she was semi-retiring from musicdom to
concentrate on raising a family and spending time with Angelil, who was recovering
from cancer. (In her statement today, Dion says recent tests have shown no
cancer in her husband.) Then in February, Dion filed a $20 million lawsuit against
The National Enquirer, saying it falsely reported she was pregnant with twins. "This
thing has really upset me," Dion said at the time. "Since the story came out,
everyone has been congratulating me, and I have to keep telling them that it's not
true. I only wish it was true, and I hope and pray that some day it will be." Her
prayers apparently have been answered. "This time it's for real--I'm pregnant," her
statement Friday reads. "We are completely, totally happy. And we thank God for the
great joy we've been given. "Over this past year, we went through a terrible test
together, but we made it through stronger, closer, more loving than ever."

First my neighbor, who is in the media business, was stung by a bee the other day
and came over to see if I had any baking soda. I had her try the Skin Perfecting
Cream and she was blown away, the pain gone instantly. She is so impressed that
we are going to meet with her to try and figure out ways to promote the Cream and
the Immunocal. Then I was stung twice in 2 days and I have ended up in the
emergency room 3 times with stings, put the cream on and bingo, no pain and no
emergency room. I honestly feel that because I take Immunocal daily and also the
other anti-oxidants that my immune system is in such good shape that it has
successfully fought off the effects of the stings. The cream absolutely stopped the
stinging immediately!.

Skin Ulcers
SEVERE LEG ULCERS Testimonial # 115
Hi there,
I have a story for you.....An old friend by the name of Bob Essig is a customer of
mine.. H is story: He was in the VA hospital for severe ulcers on his legs...he had
been in the hospital for 4 months......I got him to take immunocal (2 packs a day) It
was no easy task, He by nature is one of the most negative puckerbutts on the
planet, a severe diabetic and quite obese. The VA doctors had told him the legs both
had to be amputated below the knee........He said "Let them rot off you ain't gong to
cut them off" the ulcers were so bad you could literally see the bone..He had some
major skin grafts that didn't take.......3 months later one leg is healed completely and
he is taking 80% less insulin. Did I mention he requires oxygen?? he wears a canula
full time until now and now he can go for an hour or so without it. The VA doctor is
dumbfounded and I think she is probably going to be a customer/distributor of mine.
His other leg is healing fast and he no longer uses crutches. Him being a crusty old
"wounded in action Marine vet" it takes some doing to even put up with him .....for
some goofy reason he likes me and Marty and for the last 20 years or so has been a
cherished friend of the family. On rare occasions I may say something "nice" about
him because the quality of his friendship is first rate.....BUT!!!!! I will be
quadralaterely incandescently damed if I will EVER say anything NICE TO him.!!!! He
is very outspoken about "flim flam Charlies magic goofy dust" ( honest.....I am trying
to get him to say "IMMUNOCAL" ) He is a great testimonial and I thought you might
like to hear about it.
Mike would you and McTavish.....Gimme a call on the telecommunicator (I think Pa
Bell calls it a phone) I am moving along pretty good (I think) and would like a little
counsel......maybe a LOTTA counsel. As I go flopping along in this mortal coil called
life with only half my weapons in the wits department, I am barely smart enough to
know I need counsel from time to time.

"I am an 82 year old great grandmother. My daughter got involved with this product
and she assured me that it could only help. I have been on HMS-90 (Immunocal) for 2
years now. It started with a severe sunburn on one of my arms that became an open
sore and just would not heal. I had it over a year. I am very small (4ft 6") and started
with 1/2 a pouch a day. Finally I got talked into taking at least one full pouch. I like it
just in water and then I add a little fruit stir up for taste. It took about 4 weeks but
then I realized that the sore was starting to close. About 6 months along it was just a
spot that looked a bit darker. I was so thankful as it was scaring me. The doctor had
no answers except Cortisone cream. At the same time I felt energy like I had not had
for some time. I am a very active person, but major surgery in 1997 had knocked the
wind right out of me and I was not able to get it back. HMS90 definitely made a
difference. This year I had another experience. Due to a medical accident in the early
90's I was now fighting with a prolapsed colon. At my age no surgeons really wanted
to tackle this. So I went to Toronto. Because of my persistence a specialist took a
closer look. Although I registered as having had a silent heart attack sometime ago,
he decided that all my vital signs indicated that I was a very healthy person. He also
decided that he would do the major corrective surgery: through the belley cradle the
colon in a netting that was subsequently fastened to the tailbone I had been on 2
pouches of HMS90 at least 3 weeks before and came through surgery with hardly any
bleeding. Although they wanted to keep me originally 10 days, they let me out in 5.
This was at the end of March and now I am fit as a fiddle. OK, I can't run like a 20
year-old, but I'm not far behind!" Sincerely Joan Tantzen 06/07/2001

time to see his patients, do his research, practice his music, keep in shape, and
spend more time with his wife and children. Like many other professionals, time and
energy were at a premium. Aware of the effect of GSH on the immune system,
he took a course of vitamins, selenium and amino acids in the hope of more easily
fighting off the viral illness to which he was exposed daily. He incorporated
Immunocal in to his regimen, wishing to take advantage of its GSH precursors. He
soon noticed he was waking up from 30 to 60 minutes before his alarm went off, and
he felt just as refreshed. Now he regularly works later into the evening

Calcium
Hi Nick, Just got word, my training was postponed until August so I'll be around for
early weigh-ins on Friday and the meet on Saturday. I also wanted to thank you for
some advice you gave me awhile back. About a year ago you told me about the
calcium supplement you carry (looks like a little milk bottle) to help Michelle with her
broke arm. Well a year later we finally found the right doctor, I'm beginning to loose
faith in the medical profession. She underwent a procedure about six weeks ago.
She had her ulna shorted and the angle modified to solve the problems she was
having with her wrist. I found the second bottle of the calcium supplements that
for some reason she never took and told her to take them. Her doctor is amazed at
how fast her arm is healing and he believes she is a week or two ahead of what
she should be. Thanks again for the guidance, you've always been there to give me
sound advice on supplementation and once again, like always, you're right on the
money. As a final note I'm finally starting to get some training sessions in again feels
good to start moving the weights again. Best Regards, Chris

Fungus/Mold # 125
Linda,
Could you find out if Immunocal is okay for people who have "systematic candida"
which is an overgrowth of fungus/mold and yeast in the whole body system. I need
to know if the "whey" in Immunocal is okay for people with candida fungi/mold. So,
please ask about the candida and let them know I have 15 strains of toxic mold that
is causing the neuropathy. So, please ask about the mold/fungus as well.
John's answer:
Immunocal/HMS 90 helps the immune system in a non specific way against viruses,
bacteria, fungus etc. This would hold for Candida. As per the article below oxidative
stress contributes to the disorder. Taking Immunocal/HMS 90 would optimize the
immune response to counter the challenge and lower oxidative stress.

Infections:
"Over the last 3 years my teeth having been going on me. Rather than having them
pulled, I have been having root canals done on them. I had stopped taking the
Immunocal because I had run out of it around Christmas, and even then I was rarely
taking it myself (but getting everyone else to use it). There wouldn't be another
shipment until my shuttle kicked on February 10. Then a day before I got the box
(Feburary 9th) I had to go to the dentist. A new tooth was bothering me. The dentist
told me that I would have to get another root canal which I was going to do,
but then I told him not to begin because I was going to try Immunocal. Anyway, I
started taking it faithfully everyday and the infection went away! I was back to
him the other day and he said usually the infection would have reoccurred by now,
and he said the longer I go without infection, hence no root canals, the more it would
seem that it was the Immunocal that did the trick....Anway, so far my teeth feel
great. Perhaps, the Immunocal stopped the infection and allowed the nerve to be
revitalized although my impression of a nerve is that like the brain, once it starts to
go, there is no reversal."

Cyst
I had a cyst on my back, next to my right shoulder blade for the last 10 years. The
cyst was about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and protruded about 1 inch. While it
was on my back and not uncomfortable, during the summer when not wearing a
shirt, it was readily noticeable to others. About 5 years ago, when visiting the doctor
with the flu the doctor commented on the cyst and suggested he could remove it for
me surgically. Well, about the beginning of March, I started taking Immunocal/HKS
90. Several weeks later the cyst had started weeping. Squeezing the cyst would, on
occasion, produce a white pus. After about 3 to 4 weeks, the cyst was noticeably
smaller and producing a clear fluid. Six weeks later the cyst has virtually
disappeared. At first I thought the changing condition was just a natural phenomena.
Then after a period of several weeks, it occurred to me that the one thing that had
changed was that I was taking Immunocal/HMS 90. While this may be a coincidence,
after 10 years or 120 months, it disappeared in the same month that I was taking
Immunocal/HMS90 for the first time. Clifford King, Quebec, Canada
I wanted to have a healthy life and as a nurse with a lot of sick people around me, I
was searching for a product to enhance my “Boomer” years. My friends told me
about HMS90/ Immunocal at a time when I had a sinus problem, then I got the flu.
Working all different hours I needed something to work for me Right away. I took one
pouch a day and when I got sicker they told me to take two pouches a day. I did that;
I got well in 3 days! It works! In April I went for a regular breast screening at the
clinic, and was referred to my own doctor for follow up tests because they had found
a dark area in my left breast and a lump under the same arm. He scheduled me to
see a woman breast specialist and a surgeon. A biopsy revealed that there was 4
inches of my left breast duct that was blocked with an overgrowth of tissue and it
was full of fluids. There was a slightly bloody discharge upon aspiration. The lump
under my left arm indicated that the duct was blocked up to the armpit and must be
removed. I WAS FACING LOSING A BREAST!! HOW DEVASTATING!! I asked for a
second opinion before surgery. My doctor sent me to the man that was to do the
surgery. We talked and I asked for another set of tests, he agreed. I did not tell him
WHY! I knew I needed some time because I had been listening to Dr. Somersall for
over 10 years, also heard many first hand stories at the Toronto meetings with my
upline and believed the recoveries. I understood there was a decrease in my body’s
antioxidant enzymes which protect my body against free radical damage. I believed
the bio active “glutathione” in HMS90/IMMUNOCAL were the properties my body
needed to fight this attack of foreign bodies and it would be efficient enough for me. I
increased the 4 pouches a day/ the Vitamins and I also rubbed the Skin Perfecting
Cream on my left breast every night. I took no other medications during this time; I
believed this was a must for my recovery. Six weeks later I had been through the
second set of tests and was scheduled to visit the surgeon to discuss the operation.
He began to tell me that he was amazed that the lump under my arm was already
smaller in size, that the 4 inches of infected duct was also decreased in length and
there was no trace of blood in the aspiration; he was happy to tell me that as far as
he is concerned there will be “NO SURGERY” He said, YOU ARE IN A RECOVERY
STATE—WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING –DO NOT STOP!! I was extremely excited and I
jumped off the table and kicked up my heels. Yes!! He asked me “what is it you are
doing anyway?” I spent the next 20 minutes in my surgeon’s office discussing
HMS90/IMMUNOCAL and the products with him. That beats surgery anytime, I would
like to tell you!! When I was done, he said to me” I can see you have faith in this and
you will recover if you do not stop what you are doing, come back and see me in
September. Here is my email address to tell me more about this Supplement. Please
tell my son too, he is out at the front desk.” He was fascinated about the value of this
dynamic product. THANKS to all those who have contributed to the availability for
me to get wellness in my body. Especially to Immunotec Research Ltd. For the
amazing discoveries that I was able to benefit from! Blessings to all of you. Sincerely,
Judith A. Jewell-Belfry, RN 07/14/2001
Dear Dr. Petrosino "My cholesterol level went from 340 to 140 after only 15 days of
taking 2 packets of Immunocal per day. Also, I had a fairly large cyst in my breast
which my doctor first saw 4 or 5 years ago. Each year I had an ultra sound and it was
slowly getting bigger. The doctor was going to biopsy it this year, but after my
ultrasound, it had almost completely dissappeared! Immunocal is the only thing I
have been doing differently."
Nancy is a beautiful person who has had a rare immune disorder for over 10
years. When I first shared Immunocal with her, she rightfully wanted to ask her
doctor if it was OK to take Immunocal. At that time he said “No” because I believe
the doctor did not bother to check his P.D.R. or any other sources about Immunocal.
If he had checked he would have learned about the 10 Method of
Use Patents and the well-documented clinical studies that prove Immunocal’s
benefit to a depleted immune system.
Ten months later, about 3 weeks ago, she took things into her own hands and
learned to make life saving decisions on her own initiative. Just after three days of a
double dose of Immunocal per day she had her first entire night’s sleep in ten
years and her kidneys and bladder had less pain. Finding this out her doctor now has
told her to continue on Immunocal, and she will continue to monitor her. My goal is
to help Nancy be in complete remission from this sickness of 10 years
We must always keep in mind that Immunocal does not heal any sickness, but what it
does do is help the cells of our body make more glutathione, and it is the only
product on the market that does this. So be careful about claims that other products
make about their ability to influence the immune system. Always request verification
of any claim that a company makes about a so-called immune enhancing product.

Immune System
Monday, May 12, 2003 1:21 PM I have just read your site on looking up Glutathione
on Google. The reason I was looking it up is that a study has just been published by
the Liver Unit, Department of Gastroenterology, Manchester Royal Infirmary,
Manchester UK., entitled "Oxidative Stress and PBC". (PBC is Primary Biliary
Cirrhosis, an autoimmune disease mainly affecting women. It has nothing to do with
alcohol consumption. Autoimmune attack destroys bile ducts and then the liver). This
study looked at people in the early stages of the disease and I quote: "The most
striking antioxidant depletion occurred with plasma total glutathione where levels
were significantly reduced (30% of controls)." This is very interesting having read
your site as the biggest and unexplained problem in PBC is that many people with the
disease suffer crippling fatigue, and they get symptoms in the very early stage of
their disease, before there is any apparent damage to their livers. Low glutathione
levels look like they may be an explanation. Thought you would like to know.

Lyme Disease
About 11 years ago, I noticed that I had this very strange ‘rash’ on my leg. It looked
like some bug had drawn a bulls-eye on my leg and took aim! At the time, I had no
knowledge whatsoever of Lyme Disease and I just assumed it was some sort of weird
spider bite. I showed it to a few friends and then forgot about it. I did feel a bit ‘off’
for a few days after that, like I had a touch of the flu, but I had no idea that the two of
these things could be related to each other. For a few years, life went on as normal.
Then health issues started to crop up -unexplained low-level fevers, swollen glands,
joint pains (which increased in intensity over the next several years), eye problems,
gradually increasing weakness in my legs, numbness and tingling sensations in my
right arm and leg, neurological problems (brain fog) and a chronic fatigue that left
me feeling totally drained from morning to night. Tests for arthritis, lupus, thyroid all
came back negative. Then, about four years ago, I was diagnosed by a doctor from
Hope with Lyme Disease. When I studied up on Lyme, I realized that this was exactly
what I had – right down to the bulls-eye rash. The next battle was in determining
how to fight this disease. Because of personal feelings, I was reluctant to take
antibiotics for the recommended length of time that would be required for someone
dealing with Chronic Lyme. I resigned myself to a life of further deterioration and
possibly a wheelchair in my future. Then I was introduced to HMS-90. Being a bit of a
skeptic, I researched all the information that was available. I read about the doctor
from McGill University who first discovered the active ingredient in HMS-90. I read the
clinical medical studies, the critical role that glutathione plays in the body, I skimmed
through the patents that have been issued to Immunotec Research Inc. regarding
HMS-90 and much more. The deciding factor was that this is a 100% natural protein
that would do so many good things for my body even if it wasn’t effective against the
Lyme Disease. So, not expecting anything dramatic to happen, I started taking it. The
results astounded me! I regained energy that I hadn’t had in years! I could get
through a whole day without feeling like I was on the verge of collapse. Over the next
few months, all of my Lyme symptoms disappeared entirely or were so reduced that I
hardly noticed them. I’ve had Lyme for a long time and I know that it will take a long
time to fight this disease but HMS-90 has given me back my life! Thank you Dr.
Bounous and Immunotec Research
Please – do yourself or a loved a huge favor and find out what HMS-90 can do!
Penny Repstock Independent Distributor
I have now been back one week on 2 packs a day and the difference is
amazing!! I can now truly say that this product makes a difference. The levels of
energy dramatically change in patients like mw with compromised immune function
and chronic disease. As my case relates to spirochetal post-infection syndrome, and
CFS, I think the potential for this in the Lyme patients and CFS is enormous. If I get
strong enough, I would not mind at all to hit a couple of Lecture circuits. I have done
my share of lecturing as professor in my days and as the foundation director later. I
have practice. Again, if I get better, I have to go to Boston to meet with some
foundations there, so if I can be of use in the east coast, we can talk about it. I want
other people that suffer similar illnesses to benefit from this. In any event, please
ship part of the 18 boxes as soon as you can, I do Not want to run out of this again.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Dr. Code Tells a compelling story of his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis and
his personal journey to wellness.
Immunotec Health Message with Dr. William Code, MD, FRCPC
Other conditions give insight into the effect of GSH on SMases and ceramide.
“Cell culture studies of hypoxic PC12 cell death...suggest that GSH protects cells from
hypoxic injury by direct inhibition of neutral SMases activity and ceramide
formation...9” This protection appears to be lost in MS patients as GSH is decreased
in plaques10, and was absent in the CSF in MS.11 Protective mechanisms involving
GSH appear to occur in MS, “...blood GSH was increased (p<0.01) [in MS] during
exacerbation and remission as well. This rise in this thiol is likely to be a
compensatory mechanism defending the cells from further oxidant injuries.12”
The relationship between cytokines and GSH has been demonstrated in cell
cultures of TNF-resistant (TNFr) and TNF-sensative (TNFs) cell lines. “The basic level
of GSH was significantly higher in the TNFr cells than in TNFs cells. Treatment with
20 microM ceramide decreased cellular GSH in TNFs cells by 50% in contrast to an
insignificant decrease in the TNFr cells.13”
Also, the effect of intracellular GSH on neutrophil and lymphoid apoptosis give
further insight into the crucial regulator role played by this important thiol. “Because
apoptosis is a critical mechanism regulating PMN survival in vivo, manipulation of
PMN intracellular thiols may represent a novel therapeutic target for the regulation of
cellular function.14” “Thiol compounds, such as L-cysteine and GSH, play crucial
roles in the regulation of lymphocyte proliferation.15” “These data suggest that the
inability to neutralize oxidative stress results in the apoptosis of lymphoid cells under
L-cystine-and GSH-depleted conditions. The protective effects of rADF may be
explained by...enhancing the L-cystine internalization and elevating the intracellular
GSH content.15”

Dr. Cheney
This is from an interview with Dr. Cheney, who first coined the phrase
"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." He found that the organism mentioned here
for MS was wiped out in the people he was treating for Fibromyalgia -
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, in 6 months of taking HMS 90, even those who
were taking only one pack a day. The ones taking 2 packs did do better with
their other symptoms. Here's to unravelling the puzzle of MS.
From a radio interview with Dr. Cheney: "This is exciting stuff. We wanted to
see not only if this product (Immunocal/ HMS 90) improved glutathione
functionality, which it did, but we also wanted to see if it knocked out micro-
organisms, like the PNS article said it would. So we measured for IgM (visa?)
the inverse dilutions of IgM for chlamydia pneumoniae. Chlamydia
pneumoniae is an intracellular pathogen. It's a common cause of hospital-
acquired pneumonia. It ubiquitously infects the population, but seems to
activate under certain conditions. And if it activates, some of the clinical
conditions of this organism are chronic sinusitis, pharyngitis, and laryngitis.
But it also gets into the central nervous system. In a study published by a
neurologist out of Vanderbilt showed tha chlyamdia pneumoniae may be a
very important pathogen in multiple sclerosis. Indeed, data they shared with
me recently (and this is coming to publication soon) showed that 80 percent
of the cerebral spinal fluid of MS patients is actively infected with this
organism. Versus 15 percent of other neurological diseases that are not MS.
In a journal-published article on neurology, aggressive treatment for
chlyamdia pneumoniae rapidly reversed an acute exacerbation of multiple
sclerosis. So we measured IgM levels for this pathogen at Vanderbilt. Most
laboratory measurements of this organism are not very good, so this is a
research grade assessment, and probably may not generalize to the run-of-
the-mill types of tests that you might get in your local labs. But IgM
elevations of 1 to 1600 (?) dilutions is evident of significant active infection
with this organism. Six months later, it just wiped it out. IgM just fell to
normal levels. It didn't really matter whether you were taking one pack a day
or two packs a day. Just wiped it out. Makes you wonder what this might do
for MS. Think about that.”
Professor Dr. Wulf Droge, Immunologist and former head of Cancer Research
at the Heidelberg Cancer Institute, Heidelberg, Germany
The most important redox buffers in skeletal muscle tissue and blood plasma,
i.e. glutathione and albumin, respectively, are significantly decreased in
different models of cachexia. Treatment with N-acetyl cysteine, i.e. a thiol-
containing antioxidant, was found to increase the plasma albumin level and
to ameliorate the loss of body cell mass in cancer patients and healthy
individuals. The treatment of HIV infection with N-acetyl cysteine, in contrast,
serves mainly as a tool to ameliorate the physiological and immunological
consequences of the virus-induced cysteine deficiency. NOTE: Immunocal, a
natural cysteine delivery system, developed and researched at McGill
University Medical Research Center (often referred to by Doctorsin the USA
as “The Harvard of the North” in Montreal, Canada, was found to increase
glutathione and the plasma albumin levels in vitro, in animal and human
studies.

I am an Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgeon and when I first heard about Immunocal I
wasn't very interested. When I finally read the clinical studies about Immunocal and
realized how this product worked on optimizing the immune system response, I felt
strongly that this product was going to have a major impact on the health profession
and I wanted to be a part of it. I feel more convinced today about the impact of
Immunocal on the health of people after having seen such dramatic health results of
those people on it."
Dr. Jim McCallum
"Immunocal is the future of the wellness movement - nothing else I know can impact
the ability of every cell in the human body to defend itself from the common
pathological mechanisms. To raise glutathione levels is to reduce premature
oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help detoxify the poisons inside
each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal is clinically proven to do that in a safe,
effective and convenient way."
Dr. Allan Somersall
" Immunocal works and it's safe. I believe it is the safest and most effective
antioxidant available. Also, Immunocal is the best way that I know to support and
maintain the immune system. This is especially important at a time when medicine is
beginning to recognize how many diseases are caused by a deficiency of the immune
system. But that's not the whole story - just as important, are the people behind the
product. Everyone at Home Office is of the highest integrity. As a doctor, I appreciate
the power and efficacy of Immunocal. As a person, I enjoy being associated with
dedicated and delightful people."

BARBARA Testimonials # 01
In the fall of 1998, my mother had a bone density test and a diagnosis of
osteoporosis was confirmed. In Nov. of 1998 she started on Immunocal for her
emphysema, diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, and irritable
bowel syndrome. In Feb. 1999 a Doctor put her on Evista (a selective estrogen
receptor modulator) The Doctor had put several women with osteoporosis on Evista
and was monitoring all of these women for his own small study. He was told Regina
was taking a food supplement (Immunocal) but he was not concerned and told her
she could continue if she so desired. In the fall of 2000 she had a bone density test
done along with the other women in this small study. Regina was the only woman in
this group who not only had an improvement in her diagnosis but now had a normal
bone density as in a young adult. Because of the side effects she experienced while
on Evista, one being severe leg cramps, her Doctor told her to discontinue the Evista
as she didn’t need it..
The bone scan done 10/10/00 showed Betty’s mother’s bone density as normal. She
took 3 packs of Immunocal per day for several months and went to 2 packs before
the bone scan. She now has to take only 1 pack per day! Betty reports that her
mother has had just amazing results with Immunocal other than the bone density
report. Her energy has returned along with a host of other benefits, as you read
earlier. As Betty says, “ I have my mother back and I’m so thankful!” Betty Lyons
was a registered nurse in Canada. She now does her Immunotec business full-time!
Dear Herb,
Nancy isn’t on any antibiotics at present. She has increased to three packs per day.
We believe the strengthening of her immune system with increased Glutathione
levels is working! I believe we are going to be very successful in this business
because:
1. We have an unshakeable belief in this product, Immunocal.
2. We have a total commitment to the business -- not a “let’s try and see if it works
attitude”, but a solid belief that it will work if one works it. We believe in having the
maximum of tools (Web Site if possible).
3. We have a commitment to spend time each day telling others this good news
through literature, video, tapes, e-mail, regular mail -- doing something is better than
doing nothing.
4. We know we must be patient with people and not give up on them. I've been
sharing information with one man in particular for about a month. He has a friend
with Parkinsons. His friend is interested in using Immunocal. I sent him some articles
from my web site. Today he e-mailed me asking what it would cost to become a
distributor. All this was done through e-mail, as I haven't seen him in person due to
not being able to go to church for a while as I was giving Nancy antibiotic treatments.
Don't try to force it -- just share it. People will be ready at different times. Someone
you talked to yesterday may be ready in two months. But if you keep it going they
will begin to “pop in” at different times. I just keep a positive attitude and enthusiasm
about what the benefits of this product are in terms of the scientific facts and results
people are having. Keep informing people, keep explaining, keep encouraging -- and
one day they will "get it." I let people know of my commitment to be the best
resource person I can be for them and my belief that they can succeed in this
business. What makes this possible is my reliance on the credibility of the company
and the credibility of doctors like Doctor Gutman. There’s also the credibility of the
support team – the web sites, my upline, conference calls, videos, tapes, literature,
the credibility of results, and especially -- testimonials. I believe…therefore all things
are possible…
Sincerely, Welly & Nancy
“ Arnie Schroeder.
I found that I was so very tired and weak all the time. I had an awful lot of chemo
and 10 days of radiation (all on the head). My protocol for treatment was 2 years
starting Nov 1, 2003
August 17, 2004 my friend, Fausta Magee, in Vancouver called me. She has
Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia and for that type she can't take chemo or radiation.
She was going downhill. We chatted for about an hour and a half, crying on each
others shoulders. She had developed a bunch of swollen lymph nodes, said she had
lived a good life and if this is what the Good Lord had in mind for her she was ready
to go. She was planning her funeral.
One week later she called me, all excited, saying "I've got my life back". After
talking to her I said "Whatever you're on, I want". A friend had sent her a
package of Immunotec's HMS 90 and she took it for a week ( 4 pkg a day)
When I got my box Sept 1, 2004 I was also taking 4 pkg a day and after the 5th
day, I couldn't control myself, I wanted to do so much. I hadn't done anything for a
year because I was always so weak and tired. I had had constant care from my
family. They came and lived with me to look after me. That day I painted my guest
room, ceilings, closet and all. I moved furniture back and forth. I washed the
windows and did a thorough vacuum job.
My daughter, Lorna couldn't believe that I could be doing all that, so she phoned
my sister Mary & they came to see for themselves. (it's a 5+ hour drive for Mary.)
Since they phoned and said they were coming, I had to do the decorating too and put
up the curtains and got new bedding on, got pictures on the walls, to pretty it up. I
had worked from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night. When they arrived at 11pm,
Lorna said, "You don't even look tired mom" I said, "I'm not". A week earlier, I could
only have washed the window or vacuumed the room.
I have been full of energy since. It has definitely changed my life and I am so
grateful that my friend Fausta told me about it. I now have to tell everyone. I have
made it my mission to help people with their health, wealth and happiness.
After I started on the product, I have been very busy. Most of Fausta's swollen
Lymph Nodes are now gone, (She now calls them bumps) I was totally finished with
chemo October 31, 2005 and feeling great. No more chemo, no more radiation and
no more chemo pills. I will continue to always take my special product – Immunotec’s
HMS 90.
My new mantra is I’m grateful to be alive in 2005 !!! Anne

Dr. Russell Manuel A letter from one of my Immunotec associates, Corallee Morgan,
Quincy, WA
October 2004
Hi Dr. Manuel,
1. I'm Corallee and I talked with you about 2 weeks ago. I have been running full tilt
for those 2 weeks and have neglected my correspondence. Here are the details of
the success stories in Quincy WA.
My name is Corallee Morgan. I began taking Immunocal in January of this year with
the hope of alleviating some of the pain and lack of mobility from osteoarthritis. Much
to my surprise, I began to notice improvements in my night vision, sense of smell and
ability to pick out sounds within about 2 weeks. After 26 years of being on my feet on
cement, varicose veins throbbed by the end of the day. This pain lessened until I no
longer noticed being uncomfortable by evening. I am mostly pain free from the
arthritis and the mobility in my right shoulder has returned. I still have morning
stiffness and sitting for long periods causes some stiffness, but movement eliminates
that and I'm able to go about my life. I notice that I move with renewed purpose and
speed as I go through my work day. This past month I increased my intake to 2 packs
and have seen a good rise in my energy levels. This has been lacking in the past. I
believe that the increase has helped me get through a very difficult week of
extended work hours and a very busy schedule outside of work.

unable to work for about 3 years. Several months ago, she had an episode and lost
most of the vision in her right eye. Her doctor told her there was nothing he could do
to help her and she would just have to accept her limitations. She was very scared
that she was going to go blind. I had mentioned Immunocal to her previously and
now she was ready and eager to try anything. She began taking one packet daily and
everyday she would cover her good eye to see if she had any improvement in the
bad one. In 2 to 3 days she said she noticed some changes taking place and on the
5th day she called me to tell me that all her vision had returned, her pain was gone,
she was sleeping at night and when she woke in the morning was able to get right
out of bed and move normally instead of sitting for a while on the side of the bed and
then hanging on to the wall to get where she needed to go. When she came to see
me at the Post Office where I work, I could see the change in her color and that her
eyes had sparkle in them once again. I know this is difficult to believe, 5 days is such
a short time, but I saw it happen with my own eyes. Mercedes said she felt something
happening in her body on the very first day. She really can't describe it, only that she
knew it was something good. Her energy level is much better and her husband says
he has his wife back. He is so impressed that he has begun taking Immunocal also
and says that his energy level is much better and he is not so tired after a workday.
Mercedes and Moises tell everyone that will listen about the wonderful things that
have happened and as a result there are more good stories.
3. Marina and Hugo Barraghan work with Moises at the local food processing plant.
The work is hard and the hours long. Marina and Hugo are both diabetics but Hugo
also has severe Asthma and has to us his inhalers steadily. He has been unable to
work for several months because of an ulcer on his foot that would not heal. When I
met with his wife and several other people at Mercedes’ home, he was unable to
attend because he was so ill. Marina signed that day and as soon as her shipment
came, she began giving Hugo 2 packets a day. Within the first week, Hugo had cut
his inhaler use down to a minimum and was feeling generally much better, enough to
begin doing some simple chores at home. He was so impressed with the effect on his
asthma that he would like to see his grandson on Immunocal too as he has asthma.
Hugo required surgery on his foot last week. The ulcer had healed so that a metal
plate could be put into his foot to support it as the bones in his foot are
disintegrating. He is home and says he feels fine and has no pain from the surgery.
He was given pain killer but does not feel the need to use them. He has been on
Immunocal only one month, but feels that it helped him come through this surgery
with a better outcome than could have been expected. He continues to take 2
packets and is looking forward to getting back to work when his foot has healed and
is stable enough to walk without the use of crutches.
4. Maria Vigil came to hear about Immunocal because she is a severe diabetic. She
also works with Moises, Marina, and Hugo. She had previously had laser surgery on
her eyes and was now worried that her vision was worsening once again. Even with
her glasses, her vision was blurring and making it difficult for her to see properly. Her
coworkers say she never talked to anyone, even her husband, at work. Maria signed
that day also and began taking Immunocal one month ago. Amazingly, after 3 days,
she put away her glasses and says the blurring in her eyes is all gone and her vision
is better than before. She is thrilled that her blood sugar is no longer out of control
and that her energy level is so good she is doing things she has not done for years.
She shyly shared with us that even her hair is coming back in. She suffered from
extremely thin hair as a result of the diabetes and is so pleased to see an
improvement. Her coworkers are astounded at the change in her, she talks and
laughs with them and will tell anyone who will listen about her own personal angel,
Mercedes.
I truly wish I could show you the pink, healthy color in their cheeks, the bright sparkle
in their eyes, let you hear the gratitude in their voices as they talk about their
"angels." I am rewarded over and over again as I listen to how their lives are
continuing to improve.
5. A gentleman with inoperable cancer took Immunocal through his radiation and
chemotherapy for about 4 months and is now cancer free. He went through a very
serious bout of pneumonia, blood clots in his lungs and other complications right
after the end of his treatment and was hospitalized for 2 weeks without any
immunocal. Fortunately he had been taking 2 or 3 packets a day preceding this as his
age, near 80, and lowered immune systems could have been disastrous. The pattern
of his life has returned and he is able to take part in community activities, spend as
much time as he wants at the family owned business and generally enjoy his life. He
continues to take his Immunocal and our Mercedes has convinced his wife Gert that
she would benefit also.
There are many more people showing interest in our wonderful product and many
watching as someone they know tries it. I have said many times that I am not a
salesman, but I do feel I am on a mission and this has taken on a life of its own. To
build a business based on helping people live their lives healthier and happier is truly
a blessing. I hope I am up to the challenge.
- people with Multiple Sclerosis are known to have very low levels of
GSH…….as low as 5 % of normal. Mercedes rapid improvement from taking only one
pack/day of Immunocal is exceptional. I usually advise taking 2 or preferably 3 packs
a day for 3 months to give Immunocal a fair trial.
- Hugo, who has asthma, was able to cut his inhaler use down to a minimum
in one week. My 12 year old athletic grandson was able to markedly cut back on the
use of inhalers and then go on to get several gold awards in track and field within a
month of starting 1 pack/day of Immunocal. Everyone with allergies and/or asthma
should consider giving Immunocal a three month trial.
- Maria V., a severe diabetic, benefited greatly with improved vision, increased
energy and better control of her blood sugar levels. There are now many examples of
the benefits of increasing GSH levels in diabetics. As GSH is low in most diabetics,
taking measures to increase GSH is a priority to prevent complications.
- Cancer: there are published studies and method-of-use patents for cancer
treatment. I had prostate cancer diagnosed over six years ago and chose to do
nothing invasive. My doctors strongly advised surgery. Instead, I’ve taken 3
packs/day of Immunocal and am healthier now than I was 6 years ago. I think that
every person with a diagnosis of cancer should consider taking Immunocal, with their
doctors’ approval, as part of their treatment.
ALL the BEST
Jim Hawley, Immunotec Independent Distributor
In September 2004 my son, Robert Maimann, a mountain goat, came back to Calgary
for his holidays. He wanted to climb in the Rockies again and took me with him. On
one of our trips we left the parking lot at Lake Louise at 9:00 a.m. and returned at
1:00 a.m. the next morning after 16 hours of non-stop scrambling. This was no easy
feat even for an experienced mountaineer like Robert. We experienced high winds,
rain, sleet, snow and lost our trail on the way down thus had to travel in the dark in
deep brush walking with only one head lamp. It was while travelling in the dark that I
fell and broke two ribs. We returned home to Calgary at 3:00 a.m. and slept for 10
hours from sheer exhaustion.
The next day I realized that I had two broken ribs from one of my falls where I hit my
ribs against rocks that were sticking out of the rock wall. Other than the soreness
from the ribs I had no other symptoms. My son, Robert, on the other hand was
exhausted and did not recover so easily. He attempted a glacier two days later with
a friend and had to turn around half way up, as he did not have the stamina to finish
the excursion. When he asked me how could I recover so fast as he is 40 and I am
65. I immediately referred him to HMS 90 and he became a distributor before he
returned to Toronto.
I thank Doug LeClaire and Angela Koch for introducing me to a product that works
and helps people to get healthy and stay healthy and active. I love life!
August 11, 1988 my life changed forever, I was hit by a drunk driver, my heart
stopped 3 times on the way to the hospital. The next 16 ½ years, were filled with
pain, drugs and over 30 surgeries, including the amputation of my left foot, all
attempting to restore my health.
The reality was that the combined effects of physical trauma and drugs were slowly
destroying me. After awhile my body would no longer tolerate drugs of most kinds,
pain killers in particular. New wonder drugs were prescribed, I was told that they
could not fail to prevent the uncontrollable nausea I experienced when taking most
medications. All failed to relieve my symptoms. My only option was to endure the
pain.
By the end of 2004 I suffered from daily cycles of nausea, arthritic inflammation in
my hips, spine and both knees. As well my left leg, the one missing a foot was a
source of constant, grinding pain. I was scheduled for further surgery to remove my
fibula as a last resort to restore my mobility. Then in October 2004, I was diagnosed
with squamous carcinoma cancer, caused by excessive radiation, due to over 100 x-
rays on my legs. In January 2005, after several biopsies with no end in sight, I looked
at my husband and said “people can’t live like this, you can’t suffer year after year
like this, I’m not getting better, I’m worse every year, people can’t live like this……..”
I was contemplating ending my life.
Feb 2005, I was introduced to HMS-90 by a friend, who had MS and had seen positive
results. I began taking HMS90 (4 pkgs. a day) in the hope that my cycles of nausea
could be relieved. To my amazement, not only did my nausea disappear, but also all
of my other issues began to improve. I decided to add 4 Naturally Sourced Calcium
and 1 Multi-Vitamin/Mineral. Next I noticed that my back, chest and hips no longer
bothered me. Then over the next several weeks I was able to climb stairs without
using a cane and a hand railing to assist me. In the past climbing stairs was a task
involving almost unbearable pain.
I was ecstatic about the improvements in my health and feelings of wellbeing. Then
the truly unexpected happened. My left leg, the one that had my foot amputated
and was scheduled for further major surgery began to heal. I was slowly able to walk
further and further with less and less pain. I have canceled the surgery that I have
waited so long for. For the first time in 17 years I feel good again. No… not just
good, wonderful!! Excellent!! I can’t find the words to describe how wonderful I feel.
As I write my story tears are streaming down my cheeks, happy tears now…. I do not
have an ounce of pain left in my body!!! My life has been on a daily schedule for
16½ years, scheduling my daily routine so I was able to make it through the whole
day. Making it the whole day meant dealing with enormous amounts of pain, to the
point that my insides felt like shredded paper, my brain distorted and confused. If I
pushed myself any further then I was forced to take heavy medications, which made
me very, very sick.
I don’t ever want to feel or live in that kind of pain again. Now that I know, we can
prevent diseases, we don’t have to live in pain. I feel the need to reach out to
everyone, to encourage all people to take HMS90, rebuild your cells, and keep your
cells healthy.
I don’t believe in miracles, but I do believe in science and results. I am living proof
“of the power of the body” to heal it’s self, if you provide the best tools it needs to
maintain good health, your body will repair almost anything. HMS90/Immunocal is
that tool.
Compared to traffic jams and the usual rush, this is a much more peaceful
way to start the day. As an engineer, Doug helped many companies over the
years earn hundreds of thousands of dollars while he worked 60-70 hour
weeks. He was tired of working for others and wanted to work when and with
whom he wanted. Doug’s partner, Angela Koch, was a hairstylist with 14
years of experience, who owned and ran her own successful salon. An
unfortunate car accident left her physically unable to continue her hairstyling
career, so Angela needed something else to focus her attention on. Doug was
first approached about the Immunotec products by his good friend Foster
Owusu. Doug had faith in Foster’s recommendation of the products, so in
February 2000, he signed up as a customer and began taking
Immunocal/HMS 90 on a daily basis. It didn’t take Doug very long to realize
the efficacy of the product, when for the first time in 11 years, he had no
seasonal allergy symptoms. Foster knew of Doug’s potential to become a
successful distributor and kept him up-to-date about the impact that
Immunocal/HMS 90 was having on the health of others. This, combined with
his own positive experience, got Doug extremely motivated to become a
distributor. Angela also started with Immunotec as a customer in October
2000 and became a distributor shortly thereafter. After spending eight years
and thousands of dollars on various other health products, Angela and Doug
were both thrilled to find that Immunocal/HMS 90 helped Angela
tremendously with her fibromyalgia, including relief from irritable bowel
syndrome and chronic sinusitis (symptoms typically associated with
fibromyalgia). Doug’s biggest priority as an Immunotec distributor is
educating others on what Immunocal/HMS 90 can do for their health while
helping them achieve financial freedom.“I’ve helped distributors get to the
title of Diamond and am helping others achieve financial freedom everyday.
It’s extremely rewarding.” Angela feels that her biggest motivation comes
from the success stories that she hears on a daily basis about the impact of
Immunocal/HMS 90 on people’s lives. She also enjoys network marketing ith
Immunotec because of the type of people attracted to this company and its
products. As Angela puts it, “These people are well informed, intelligent, fun-
loving, and they speak from the heart - they are truly concerned about the
welfare of others.” For Doug, the most rewarding part of being a distributor is
helping others overcome their own objections with respect to the company or
network marketing. He believes that the best way to overcome these
objections is to bring people to an Immunotec Head Office “Red Carpet Day”
or to a meeting. “It’s the best way to validate the integrity of the company
and the benefits that network marketing has to offer.” Doug also suggests
that distributors use all the support offered by corporate staff, which, in his
opinion, “is unparalleled”. Take advantage of the training, the extensive
research and access to the knowledgeable and resourceful members of the
company. Doug suggests that new distributors be patient. As he puts it, “This
business will happen in time. Those who succeed will be those who have
chosen to. It takes time, energy and a commitment to the business to reap
the rewards.” Angela suggests that new people should start as customers. “I
believe that customers with a positive first-hand experience on
Immunocal/HMS 90 will eventually become your best distributors. Of course,
there are some who see the bigger picture right away, so we sign them up
right away!” Doug and Angela feel that the decision to work with Immunotec
full-time has been the most rewarding experience of their lives. “Listen to
people, ask lots of questions and allow them to make their own decisions
regarding the product and/or opportunity. By sharing and caring we empower
others
Linda Bain Testimonial # 012
THE GIFT of GAB is MAKING LINDA BAIN RICH! SINGLE, 56… and DOING
GREAT!
Linda Bain started talking about Immunotec products 2 1/2 years ago and
hasn’t stopped talking since. She is so impressed by the credibility of
Immunotec and its products that she wants to share them with everyone that
she knows!
Linda Bain is no stranger to the corporate world. Having spent many years in
management roles, Linda, was absolutely exhausted by the idea of
continuing along the corporate path. She was fed up with dealing with the
demands, the pay limitations and the lack of security that the corporate
world offered her. Due to her frustrations, she made the biggest decision of
her life and started along the path to success. She initially joined Immunotec
as a parttime Distributor. A year and a half later, she decided to JUST DO IT!
She left her corporate job and became a full-time Distributor. When asked if
she was scared to make the move, Linda replied, “It wasn’t easy. I had
expenses, two kids and a mortgage, but I took the risk and JUST DID IT!”. Now
56, Linda has achieved financial freedom. She has succeeded and continues
to do so by making a commitment to do the business every day. She works
hard; harder than she’s ever worked, but she enjoys what she is doing. Her
biggest achievement is that she gets to help people on a daily basis and
offers them the opportunity to be healthy and financially free. In Linda’s
words, “It’s the best!”. On top of empowering people, she challenges anyone
to find another place where you can take three years of your life and earn an
income well into the 6-figures. Linda honestly believes that anyone can be
successful. As she puts it, “I live in a village of 1500 people and I’m single. If I
can do it, anyone can!”. All you need is to get outside the box and get
started. The only thing stopping a person from being successful is the million
excuses that they create (lack of time, lack of energy, no experience). Once
you decide to forget about the excuses and face the fears of why you can’t
do it, you can become successful. Immunotec makes it so easy, by providing
great trainers and fantastic tools to help you along the way. In fact, Linda
feels that the only way to not become successful in the business is to stop
doing the business Linda considers herself lucky that she has the opportunity
to gain new friends every day, by meeting people and sharing her knowledge
about a product like no other.She can now act as a teacher and a
health/wealth educator. If that isn’t rewarding enough, Linda also gets to
contribute to the growth of a fabulous company, which she feels is extremely
gratifying. A member of the elite Achievers Club, Linda has benefited from
the mentoring of Jim Britt and the interaction with other Immunotec leaders.
Linda has a few words to offer to new Distributors who are starting up their
business: “JUST DO IT! It’s as simple as that! I did it and you can too. Face
your fears, get outside the box and get started. As you become successful,
think of one of my favorite sayings, Inch by inch, row by row, watch your
garden grow, every day”! Linda Bain
Joyce Testimonial # 013
Hi L:
It's so nice to hear from you. Even though I don't reply a lot, I want you to know that
I enjoy and appreciate and register in my psyche this wisdom you keep sharing. It's
great for me!
I hope that you're enjoying your sabbatical. I'm working on, as always. What's
different is that I'm getting fortified (and younger in mind & body} with this fantastic
new natural supplement I found thru a friend. All of the challenges are so much
easier when you can approach them from your 30's state mentally, emotionally &
physically. I didn't realize the subtle losses in these areas from aging until I was able
to function from a younger state again from the inside & outside in all ways. It's
been quite a remarkable revelation.
This supplement(HMS 90) boosts your immune system and it really works! It also
turns back time! Some people have had their hair go back to brown from gray. It has
been referred to as "the penicillin of the 21st century". I can feel & see why. It is a
natural product that after 23 yrs. of research actually gets into your cells detoxifies
them. It actually has anti-cancer, and anti-aids gov. drug patents, it is so effective!
Even though it is used in hospitals to speed the healing/recovery process for patients,
you don't need a prescription to buy it.
Your title for this email: ".really nobody is immune" is right. We do have to boost
our own immune systems for our psyche and for our body to prevent the failures and
catastrophes from happening to us.
I'm pretty excited to find this miraculous natural immune boosting, anti-aging,
master antioxidant supplement, as you can probably tell by now. Plus, it's a
Canadian company, it’s affordable and it's easy to get. Yeah!!
So, dear friend, I am happy to share my good news with you. Feel free to pass it on if
you think it will help others. I'll be happy to give you any of the details and
information I have of course. Just give me a call and let me know.
A Mother’s Stories
My son Michael started taking HMS 90 and Xtrasharp on a daily basis in May of
2005. Since then both he and I have been delighted to see a dramatic change in
his grades. At the time he started, his grades ranged from 50 to 70 percent. That
range has jumped 20 points across the board, to the 70's and 90's.
Welcome
5) We are in the right Industry, since economists say by the year 2010 the
Health Industry will be over 1 TRILLION DOLLARS. I personally believe at that
time we will be near the top in this Industry, because of Immunotec’s present
rate of growth.
8) With many people who already have a sickness in their body, if Immunocal
is taken soon enough and in the proper amount, they can find a Doctor who
will help them with this. There are many people who will go into remission
from their illness. This has happened many times already.
9) Last but not least, the most important reason to me is I have seen how it
has affected my own body. I typically take 3 packets a day. Do I have to? NO.
Do I want to? YES. Why? Because I have been sick in the past and I don't like
it.
I have had Cancer removed out of my body. I have had Heart By-Pass Surgery,
and Digestive Problems as well as Sinus problems for years that at the
present are not a problem to me.
I personally know people who have put this product to the test with
exceptional results and have gone into remission from various illnesses. #9 is
my biggest reason for the passion I have for Immunocal.
The only way many of our friends and loved ones will ever know what is
available to help them is if you and I tell them. This is an awesome
responsibility, once you have been told. Are you acting on your responsibility?
I want to encourage you to print out and save these 9 reasons and keep it
with you, because all these reasons are valid and truthful, and it can be a help
and encouragement to you when some people reject every thing that you
have shared with them.
Most people take care of and maintain their cars and homes, which both can
be replaced. However, we only receive one body in this lifetime. Sadly, the
majority of people are not willing to spend money on their body until it breaks
down. When it does, they will spend any amount to regain their health, and
sadly, in some cases it may be too late.
I had originally suffered with Hypo-thyroid disorder, which was discovered when I was
15yrs. old but had been evidenced in my life from the age of 9yrs. However, at age
31 my sister-in-law noticed a lump in my throat. I would feel like I was choking,
especially if I was passionate about a subject, then I would be unable to talk. I shook,
had big eyes, was sick looking, couldn't sleep and had a resting heart rate of 120.
Overall it was a scarry time. It was like my system was on high and I could not slow it
down.
I went to Dr. Prince in Windsor. I was diagnosed and treated with radio-active
iodine. After about six weeks my system went to the opposite extreme and tests
revealed that I had no thyroid function. Thus the battle for me to this day. I also
suffered with Endomitriosis and cysts on the ovaries with an eventual hysterectomy,
all just prior to the above.
It is hard for me to explain what Immunocal/HMS90 has done for me in this respect
to the Graves Disease. I have had other health challenges since 1988 that have left
their own wake of symptoms and so I cannot be sure what to attribute to what. In
1988, due to the finish on my front teeth, I had six caps put in and within six weeks I
was almost totally incapacitated due to mercury poisoning. The dissimilar metal at
the back of the caps caused a leak in the amalgam fillings and I went downhill fast. I
lost my memory, became bloated, skin pastey and grey, couldn't digest anything,
kidney infections and extreme physical fatigue that left me unable to even cook
supper or do laundry, etc., all the while the doctors were at a loss as to what was
wrong or how to help me.
I went to a herballist and was put on high antioxidants and other preparations and
was sent to be tested for mercury poisoning. It was off the chart! For the two
months that it took to replace the many amalgam fillings in my mouth I actually took
DMSO in water to help clear out the mercury. (DMSO is used topically to remove
heavy metals from animals) I have never had the energy, stamina or memory that I
experienced prior to this happening.
In 1991 I worked for a furrier, doing accounting. There was a problem with the
buildings ventillation and we were all subject to the chemicals used to clean furs.
The building was old, had asbestos, and when someone smoked in the lunch room,
we all got to share the experience from our offices. Needless to say, an already
compromised immune system can only take so much. I went downhill once again
and in one year had to leave the job, at the insistence of my doctor. I had severe
sinus problems which left the sinus cavities marred with scar tissue making sinus
infections a chronic problem. Add to that menopause and you have a recipe for my
feeling I was "on the way out".
In November of 2001 I was helping my sister with a painting job and was up a few
feet on a ladder. The ladder went out from under me and I landed on the floor, but
not before hitting the wall with my right arm extended which caused a severe
shattering of the right shoulder, leading to surgery and a diagnosis of
Osteopinea(brittle bones). I also collapsed a vertebrae and damaged my right hip.
When I accompanied Lorraine Ford to London for one of her checkups in June of
2002, I was in bad shape. Constant pain, sleeping in a recliner for part of the night
due to the shoulder pain and then transferring to a bed, to rest the spine and hip, for
the rest of the night. My pelvis would tip and I was unable to hold an adjustment and
getting out of a chair and bending down were two actions that caused much pain.
Sleep depravation, fatigue, generally wondering what I was here for!
It took until the early part of Spring in 2003 for me to actually believe that the
HMS90 Lorraine was taking to help her situation might be of help to Doug and I. I
started with one box, and told Doug to take it. If it helped him then I might try it!!!
After three days he said that he thought it was good for him and that it was making
him feel better. I waited a few weeks, while he took it off and on. In the mean time
Lorraine kept calling and giving me testimonies she had heard, etc.
Finally in May of 2003, I wanted to order HMS for my Dad who was terrilbly ill. I
told Lorraine to sign me up and I would see what I could do. I knew I could use what I
ordered and that I could re-order at any time with a 40% discount. Before I could get
Dad to take the HMS90 he was hospitalized and spent the next two months in two
hospitals. The family of the one who is ill suffers also. I knew the stress we were all
going through was going to take it's toll on all of the family. I had picked up Dr.
Gutman's book from Lorraine's counter and started to read it while outside of the
waiting room of the ICU where we awaited news of whether my dad would live. I was
taking one pack of HMS at the time. As I read, I started to up my intake of HMS and
was at two to three packs per day by the time I had finished reading it.
A year later I can certainly attest to the benefits of HMS90 and the Xtra Sharp. I
can bend over to do gardening, instead of crawling. I get out of a chair pain free.
The constant pain at the area of the collapsed vertebrae is mostly gone or barely
noticeable. My chiropractic adjustments are holding and I need only go once a month
instead of twice weekily. I am remembering more and have clearer thinking and I
have the energy to start my day in the early morning and keep on going till
sometimes 11:00 or so at night. I have a sense of well-being - I find myself saying
out loud, to God - "I feel really good today. Thank you Lord for this beautiful day!"
Another good result of taking the HMS90 was the disappearance of Parkinson-like
symptoms. Although never diagnosed, I experienced what I refered to as seizures on
my right side, starting at the head, then travelling, in an instant down my right arm,
causing me to drop whatever was in my right hand. I would stumble on the slightest
thing as my right leg wasn't doing what my brain told it to do. This problem had
been progressing over the last few years.
The china is now safe! No more jerks, no stumbling, just an inner sense of well-
being.
I will always be grateful and will hold an extra special place in my heart for
Lorraine Ford, who, regardless of her own health challenges, chose to reach out with
love, to help others by spreading the word about Immunotec's life changing products.
Pamela Cook
Belle River, ON. Canada
Thursday, August 24, 2000 was the beginning of a brand new life. I took my first
pouch of IMMUNOCAL in the morning, one in the afternoon. No reaction.
The next morning I took a pouch of IMMUNOCAL and one in the afternoon. A couple
of hours later, I began to eliminate black fluid, which continued on for a total of six
sessions the same day. I took one pouch on Saturday and one on Sunday with the
same thing happening, diminishing in intensity.
By Monday August 28th, the poisons were flushed out of my system and a new person
emerged. It was a new morning! I went back to two pouches per day of
IMMUNOCAL.
A LIFE OF HELL!
The nightmare began in October 1997 when I fell and jolted my body. I had pain in
the right hip that became progressively worse. Unfortunately, no physician
diagnosed this pain which was in fact emanating from the spine and I actually
cancelled hip surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital. One doctor after the other was looking
at only the hip.
Then I tried a succession of different pain medications, and since I was walking with 2
steel crutches hooked on my forearm, I was losing the use of my legs. I was on the
road to being permanently crippled. My wonderful husband, John, newly retired,
drove me back and forth to work from Brooklyn to Queens, making 2 round trips a
day. I wasn’t able to dress myself. Putting on stockings was impossible.
Refusing to accept this “no life” existence, I went to the Rehab doctor at Elmhurst
Hospital Center where I worked in the Department of Anesthesiology. After several
months of physical therapy on my legs, (and my arms – which also were affected by
the fall) the Rehab doctor said now that my muscles were stronger, there was
nothing more they could do. She felt badly about the pain persisting and suggested
acupuncture.
Acupuncture treatment was in its infancy at the hospital where I worked. Blessedly it
helped; I responded very quickly – and went twice a week for several months. I was
almost totally pain free. It only lasted as long as the acupuncture treatments. I was
back in pain. Because my desk at hospital was so busy, I made that the priority and
went haphazardly and acupuncture did not work.
Then, in late August 1999, I began to get pain from the back of the top of my other
leg radiating down to the foot, and numbness was developing in both legs and feet.
In a matter of a couple of weeks of medications, epidurals, I was again in a hopeless
condition. Now, I was experiencing deadly, relentless pain and I preferred death.
Through the intervention of an anesthesiologist, who was also a neurologist, and who
knew immediately my problem was neurological, I finally was diagnosed and helped.
On October 5, 1999, I was operated on my spine, three vertebrae, by a wonderful
neurosurgeon at New York University Medical Center. I came out of the surgery with
flying colors; in four days I was home, no pain, no medications.
Five weeks later, on my first post-op visit to the surgeon, I, again, could not step on
my right leg. PAIN! The doctor said I could always go back into the OR. (It just was
not my destiny to be free of all this.) I did not want more surgery! Something in my
gut told me it wouldn’t come out the same as the first surgery. Since it was the L5-
S1 vertebrae (the tail) I knew it would not be an easy rehabilitation. The memory of
the road back from the trauma of surgery is vivid after having had five serious
operations on the legs and spine.
Out of desperation, from end of May to July I was scheduled for surgery twice. The
first time, I panicked and cancelled. The second time, it was the internist who
refused to clear me. It was too risky because of the clot. I wasn’t on Coumadin long
enough. What to do!
I sought out the acupuncturist and went to her privately and had no reaction
whatsoever until a few days after the fifth treatment. This time, I didn’t respond so
quickly but I was so desperate, I stuck with it and it slowly began to work.
Now I had already started getting pains in my abdomen which increased (it always
gets worse). I was bound and had many problems eliminating. One night when I
couldn’t sleep at all from those additional pains, I tried to stop all medications cold
turkey. I was up for 36 hours, again pleading with God to heal me or take me. I
wound up calling the Director of the Pain Management Clinic at Elmhurst. She told
me I couldn’t stop that way and wanting so much to help me, offered Codeine by
itself, which I refused. So she suggested weaning off the Percocets, one less pill a
day for a week. Here I was totally debilitated, functionless, and struggling in a
drugged stupor.
In August 2000, a week and a half after my talk with the doctor, a friend of mine,
Michael Blinick, whom I hadn’t spoken to in over a year, called to see how I was
doing. I told him of my condition and said I was going to die of stomach cancer if not
because of the spine. I had no life and I would prefer leaving this misery.
He said he could get me help right away. In three days I had IMMUNOCAL and here
are the dramatic results:
• I got off the pain medications immediately without having to wean off. I did
not have any withdrawal symptoms and no longer walked around in a
dazed condition.
• I stopped taking Prevacid, antacid.
• By the detoxification, the pains in my abdomen disappeared immediately
and completely. I haven’t had anything but a normal elimination since
then.
• The inflammation has greatly subsided in the spine and hip staving off
surgery until today. I still have spinal stenosis. If I do need surgery, I’ll be
able to tolerate it and be better prepared.
• I had had a vascular problem for several years with “black and chronic
swollen feet” and wore
Surgical stockings when I could put them on. The acupuncturist noticed
on the Tuesday after I
started IMMUNOCAL, “Your feet are normal.” I hadn’t been paying
attention because of the
other problems. No more need for stockings.
• This is the first year since 1993 when I had pneumonia, that I haven’t taken
a flu shot. No usual
“Winter cold/virus.”
7. My chronic acute sinus condition is GONE.
I have been taking two to four pouches of IMMUNOCAL every day. Because I’m still
on Coumadin and cannot take Vitamin E, I’m just taking one B Complex tablet, and 2-
3 Vitamin Cs daily along with IMMUNOCAL.
Since taking IMMUNOCAL to build my immune system, I have energy I haven’t had
since my twenties. Also, I found by taking a third pouch, I feel even stronger, and my
body has begun to correct little things like a small growth, the size of a pencil’s
eraser, on my skin on the inside of my arm. One morning, about three months ago, I
went to finger it and screamed to my husband that it’s gone. All I have left is a small
dot of skin discoloration as a memory.
I’m so happy to be alive. My life has been a great joy with my newfound health. Now
I am sharing my experience with IMMUNOCAL with everyone, with the world. So
many people, all with different medical challenges, are now changing their lives with
IMMUNOCAL through me. What a blessing for all of us! March 20, 2001
Nancy saw her urologist yesterday. What has happened needs some perspective.
Some of this you may have heard before in a different context.
For the first time in forty years I heard Nancy say something she had never
previously said, ?I don?t think I?m going to live much longer.? And that is how the
summer of 2002 began for me.
I want to say that I believe in prayer and that God answers prayer and at times He ?
moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.? I want to thank everyone who
has prayed, and I hope you will continue to pray.
On June 28 Nancy?s urologist admitted her to Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa.
because of high levels of e-coli and Beta strep in her pelvic area and in her urine
cultures. She began giving her strong antibiotics IV --Vancomycin 1000 mg. along
with Gentamicin. She was also on a morphine drip for pain. This lasted for five days.
At the end of five days, Nancy had a temporary ?port? inserted in her left arm. She
continued at home on Vancomycin 750 mg. IV twice a day. After three weeks, Nancy
began to have a reaction to the Vancomycin and had to stop the treatment.
During this time she was seeing her urologist every week. After 26 days of
antibiotics, e-coli and Beta strep were still showing up in the pelvic area and urine
cultures. The antibiotic treatments had not eliminated these bacteria totally from her
system. I don?t think the doctor knew what else to do except more of the same --
back to the hospital if her condition worsened.
Jim Spencer didn’t come to Immunotec Research the usual way. He was working as a
photographer and advertising consultant when approached by an associate to
produce a campaign for Immunocal in the United States. The US government had just
approved Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement status for Immunocal. Jim needed
to do some research in order to properly sell the company and its products. What he
read convinced him that Immunotec was home to a breakthrough.
In January of 1999, Jim called six friends and convinced them to travel with him to
Immunotec’s Home Office in Montreal. They left 80˜ temperatures in Florida for a
frigid -30˜ in Quebec. Thankfully, the reception at Immunotec was a warm one! The
group spent an entire day with Chuck Roberts, John Molson and Dr. Gustavo Bounous.
They toured the facilities, asked questions and looked at the company’s direction
with regard to its compensation plan. Fortunately, Dieter Beer and Dr. Jimmy
Gutman happened to be in the office that day, and Jim and his group had the
privilege of first-class exposure to the company and its principals.
Jim arrived back at his home near Miami, determined to make a concerted effort to
build an Immunotec business.
The first person he really wanted to test the product on was his mother-in-law. She
was the reason that Jim had originally moved to Florida from his home in New York.
She was virtually bed-ridden, disabled by fibromyalgia, arthritis and osteoporosis. Jim
had purchased a large home and moved her in with his family. Although she was
enduring painful cortisone shots every six weeks, she refused to try Immunocal
because it hadn’t been prescribed by her doctor. So each day for the next 3 months
Jim mixed up an Immunocal drink and took it himself.
Jim’s wife, his mother-in-law and the children all suffered the multiple discomforts of
the seasonal onslaught: fatigue, nausea, aches and pains and fever. At least one out
of every 10 Americans comes down with the flu each year, usually between late fall
and early spring, but having been on Immunocal for three months, Jim was not
affected at all. After noticing this, and when she recovered from the flu, Jim’s
mother-in-law decided to try Immunocal too. Over the next ninety days Jim observed
a transformation in her. The symptoms that had limited her movements began to
disappear. She started to do chores around the house – sweeping the kitchen and
tidying up after the children. She ventured outside and began to shop again. In her
fifth month on the product, she bought her own house … and moved out!
In the years since Jim has been with Immunotec, he’s seen a dramatic increase in his
sales organization. With recent changes to the Compensation Plan, he knows that a
great deal more growth is on the horizon. Since its inception in May of 2002, Jim has
been an active member of Immunotec’s Achievers Club. Immunotec audiences have
benefited from the in-depth product knowledge he shares while touring North
America with Jim Britt, headlining at Health/Wealth Seminars.
Aside from the obvious benefit – hey, his mother-in-law did move out! - Jim enjoys
the freedom his Immunotec business affords him. He can travel, pursue his personal
interests and take time to spend with his wife and children.
Next time you talk to Jim about his Immunotec experience, you’ll know why he’s
really smiling
For a period of 2 years I suffered such severe illness that I approached 12 different
Medical Specialists and one Chinese Naturopath Doctor in an effort to find relief. In
spite of all this medical consultation I continued to suffer continuous body pain, and
fatigue 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. This type of suffering let to depression as
well because I could obtain no relief.
Five months, and $7,000 later I was able to lift my arms, and walk much better. This
made me very happy and I began to have hope. However, my happiness was short-
lived. As soon as the winter months set in the pain returned, and within a few
months I was bedridden. By May of 2002 I could not walk, and found myself in severe
pain with terrible swelling in my legs and feet. The inflammation seemed to worsen
by the hour.
Thinking I might have a kidney problem, I asked my Family Doctor of 10 years for a
referral. He refused to refer me to see a kidney specialist as he said there was no
need for the government to waste money on doing tests on me.
After insisting that he refer me, he did so under protest, and as he handed the paper
to me he said 'if you go and see this Kidney Specialist I never want to ever see you in
this office again.' I left that office in shock with tears in my eyes thinking how could a
family Doctor of 10 years do this to a patient?
I faxed the referral paper to the Kidney Specialist and when his office staff called me I
was told my Doctor put a question mark on the comments section. I explained my
ex-doctor does not know what is the matter with me. I was given an appointment
within 2 weeks. I soon found another doctor
The Kidney Specialist located in Richmond Hill, Ontario started tests on a Thursday
and on Friday with Ultra Sound. By Monday a second Kidney Specialist saw me and
ran additional tests. He discovered my entire Kidney was infected and inflamed. My
Potassium levels had dropped far below normal level and for this reason I could not
be given anything for the pain or inflammation. The most I could do was bathe my
feet and legs and take Aspirin to try and ease the pain. However, nothing I did
worked. Every day I cried from the pain. I could not sleep and my energy level was
zero. By this time I was reduced to being in a wheel chair as I could not ambulate. I
had to crawl on my hands and knees every day to get to the washroom and my
meals were carried to me by my husband.
I had always been an active person, and exercised daily. I loved to participate in
sports and to work with and help people. The thought now occurred to me that you
can have all the money in the world but if you don't have your health you have
nothing. Nevertheless, I am the type of person who never gives up and I had faith
that some day I would find the answer to this health challenge and find a natural
cure. I clung tenaciously to this hope.
In June 2002 my girlfriend Leslie called me and said she found a product that could
help me. At first I thought it might be another fly-by-night product which will cost me
more money and not do anything. Leslie felt my problems were tied in with my
immune system. She asked if I would listen to a friend of hers from Florida named Jim
Spencer who would explain a wonderful product to me.
Being skeptical I asked if the product was sold through MLM and she said 'Yes'.
I reminded Leslie I couldn't even walk let alone do a new business. As much as I
wanted to go back to work for the past 2 years I simply was not ready for this. She
told me not to worry but to just listen to him and for the moment I was inspired to
listen to what he had to say.
Jim called me later that day and asked me a few questions. He explained the science
behind HMS 90 for about a half-hour. He assured me he was not interested in me
doing any business right now, but he promised me, based on what I had told him, and
if I took the right amount of HMS 90, within 5 days I would probably be out of bed and
walking. I remember thinking that this guy must be God or this is one Miracle
Product, as not even a Doctor had told me those words. I just had to have faith that
he was not bluffing me.
He gave me a website address so I could do additional research on the product. I had
to literally crawl to my office to look it up. As I began to read about the company and
the clinical trials I began to feel better about the HMS 90 product and the Immunotec
Company which I learned came from Montreal, Canada.
What did you do?, he asked. "I know you were taking aspirin and bathing your legs
and feet but it doesn't seem possible it could do this! I explained I had stopped doing
those things because a friend had sent me this product. I opened my purse and
showed him the HMS 90. When he saw it he said he had heard many Doctors talk
about this product at the hospital. I asked why he didn't put me on it back in June.
He said because he is a Kidney Specialist and doesn't prescribe this product. "Well", I
said, "I think maybe you will be in the very near future." He smiled and said, "Brenda
I am very happy to see it helped you and our tests prove that it works. I can tell you
have no pain and can see you are smiling and walking very well. I would suggest
that you continue to take this product, and in 6 months I will ask your family doctor
to send you for more tests to make sure it continues to work."
Shortly thereafter a girlfriend of mine named Debbie Quincey called to see how I was
doing. She could tell by my voice that something had happened to me. She said, "you
sound so good! What did you do?
I told her the whole story with all the wonders that the HMS 90 had done for me. She
then asked if the company marketed by multi-level? I told her it was. Then she asked
if I had joined the company yet. I told her no, but that a friend had sent the product
to me. Suddenly, she announced I better not join this MLM company without her
being the first person under me! I laughed, and reminded her that she was already
focused on another company and I would not want to take her away from that.
"You are my mentor. If it has helped you this much you're bound to do the business,
and I want to follow and do it with you." That very same night our upline-to-be, Jim
Spencer & Francine called, and I tied in Debbie so she could listen. After they
explained the products and the company to her there was no hesitation on our part.
We both joined that same night with Action packs! Not only has HMS 90 made a
profound change in my health but now it's given me a new livelihood!
I now have the desire to share this product with as many people in the world as I can.
Hopefully it can not only help them get their health back, but it could also change
their financial life as well.
By mid-August I felt so good that I decided to go to work full time. I now had a
wonderful team with Debbie, John, Carlton & Arnie. With the support of my upline,
along with the confidence I have in the HMS 90 product and this wonderful company
Immunotec Research I was able to reach the Gold Distributor Level by end of August .
I plan to help my team attain that level next as I want them all to follow me and this
company to share this product with the world.
I still feel great each day and I am thankful to the many people who have helped me
to recover and give me hope again in my life.
Thank you Immunotec for the vision and research you had with the HMS90 /
Immunocal Product.
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, REACH FOR THE TOP AND NEVER GIVE UP!
Sincerely, Brenda Noble Toronto, Canada

Hi Herb,
Nancy's story is about progress. She has been on Immunocal twice a day for about a
month. Tomorrow I'm ordering six boxes of Immunocal -- Nancy's going on three per
day, and I'm going on two. The other is for a friend. Plus I'm ordering some XSHARP.

So when I wrote that she didn't have any pain in her kidneys for the first time in 15
years, it was a significant step forward. She isn't at a point of saying that she's better
yet, but she is much less ill and moving toward being better. She has much greater
strength and vitality.
On June 28 she was in the hospital on IV antibiotic therapy twice a day which
continued at home for another two weeks. With B-strep and E-Coli in her body she
was having a difficult time, but cultures have turned around with only one negative
as of last week. She is definitely making progress. To be honest Immunocal was the
last resort. We both said -- "Let's try it. There just isn't anything more that can be
done." And we are so glad we did.
If I never sponsor one person, it has been worth it! (But the sponsoring is going to
happen!)
By the way don't give up on people. It took us over a year to say yes to Immunocal
Story.
Thanks Herb for not giving up!
November 6, 2005
From June to August, I sometimes thought that I could decrease to 3 HMS90…. I’m
still feeling no pain, then maybe just 2… Well, within 4 days I was feeling the pain,
pain again…. Immediately I would increase back to 4 packages…..Ahhh no pain. So I
decided that I would stay at 4 packages for 1 year, then we went camping September
long weekend. I managed to make it to the trailer, get into bed, take my leg off,
along with 1 nylon sock, 1 thick liner, 2 wool socks, another nylon sock. Ahhh I’m in
bed. Then I remembered….. I forgot my night time HMS90……. I don’t want to put
all that back on my leg…. I did tell myself that I wouldn’t forget the next night…..
Well I kept forgetting…..
But after 5 days no pain… I thought, lets see how long I can go without pain at 2
packages a day, which I took first thing in the morning.
Although, after many hours of research, I also incorporated a few other items;
This clearly tells me that my body healed what needed to be healed and now I will
continue my regime for good health.

I was very happy with the report you gave me on July 11, 2003 concerning my recent
bone density test. As you know, I visited with you in your office last June 25, 2002
about not taking Fosamax because of the side effects it produced in me. You agreed
that I should not take it for that reason. I proposed that rather than taking Fosamax,
I would prefer taking Immunocal (a specially formulated whey protein isolate) and
Pure Milk Calcium, both produced by Immunotec Research Ltd.
On my first visit last year, May 24, 2003, I presented you with a packet of information
about Immunocal and its positive effects on the immune system. It is the only non-
drug item entered in the PDR, which also tells about its properties and its effect on
the body.
After experiencing “the amazing positive results of my test” (your words to me)
within less than a year’s time, would you consider prescribing this to your patients
that have or may experience side effects from prescription drugs that you prescribe?
My personal feeling, from a humanitarian stand point, is that people should have that
option.
My husband and I are distributors of these products in this area. We would be very
happy to meet with you at you earliest convenience and discuss the possibility of
working with you as a vendor of these products, in order to help people who
otherwise might suffer the side effects of prescription drugs. Please call us at (413)
000-0000 to set up an appointment.
Hi Neil,
I would be very happy to help you in any way. I'll give you a bit of background on my
Lyme so that you can compare it to your mother-in-law (ei - how long, severity, etc.).
I contracted Lyme 12 years ago but it took until about 4 yrs ago before I knew what
the matter with me was. A long story so I won't go into it here - suffice it to say that
we don't exactly have Lyme savy doctors out here! Once I knew what it was, I did a
ton of research on Lyme and how it can be treated. There were varying degrees of
antiobiotic therapy that were extensive in time (I met people online who had been
taking one or more antibiotics, different doses, different antibiotics for upwards of 2
and 3 years with no real signs of improvement). This was not a route that I was
prepared to go as, although I am not a doctor, I knew darn well that long term use of
antibiotics has a very detrimental affect on one's liver and kidneys. I figured I didn't
really need those complications as my kidney function was already affected.
Three years later, with no alternatives in sight and my health deteriorating until I
had severe neurological and physical problems, I decided to take the plunge and do
something - anything! I had an appointment with a doctor to start antibiotic
treatment three weeks before I heard about HMS-90. After researching HMS-90, I
decided that I didn't have anything to lose so ordered some with no real expectation
of anything dramatic happening. I started on 2 packs a day and then, a couple of
weeks later (at the recommendation of Dr. Code) I switched to 3 packs a day and
continued with that for approximately 8 months. I am now down to 2 a day unless I
am particularly stressed out, tired or fighting some other infection and then I bump it
up again for awhile. My results with HMS-90 were so dramatic and incredible! Within
one week, I noticed an increase in my energy level (chronic fatigue was a huge
problem for me). I felt like I had energy back that I hadn't had for years! Within a
month, most of the other symptoms had disappeared (joint pain, eye pain,
neurological symptoms, bladder control, muscular tremors) with the exception of
some joint pain still in a couple of the worst joints. But that had diminished
dramatically and now it is mostly gone. I'm not sure if my results were faster because
I had no antibiotic residue in my system as I know of several other people with Lyme
who are taking it and, while their condition has improved dramatically, it wasn't quite
as fast as mine was. They have all been on antibiotic treatments, however, and one
of them for many years now. Neil, I cannot recommend highly enough that your
mother-in-law give this serious consideration. I don't know how severe her condition
is, now long she has had it or if she has been taking any antibiotic treatment for it.
She will need to be absolutely committed to taking HMS-90 for a long time at the 2 -
3 pack a day level. This is a very insidious bacteria and it isn't easily removed. Even
yet, if for some reason, I miss too many days (ei - a two week camping trip last year),
my symptoms will start to reappear - although not in to the same extent as I was
living with beforehand. Also, she can expect to go through an occassional 'herx'
reaction. When on antibiotics, this is a very common occurance. It is a result of the
fact that, when the bacteria is found and killed, it throws off a real nasty toxin that
makes a person feel even worse than they normally do. This only lasts for a few days,
however, but it is nothing to be alarmed about - in fact, it is a GOOD sign as it means
that there has been a die-off of bacteria. As this bacteria is only in the blood stream
about once a month, you can reasonably expect some crappy days every month or
two. I didn't get my first full herx until I had been on HMS-90 for about 3 months. It
scared the daylights out of me because I didn't realize what was going on at the time
but it only lasted about 5 days and then was gone as quickly as it came. Since then, I
have had several smaller 'herxs'. I believe that HMS-90 is working on this bacteria
because glutathione is a cellular molecule and this bacteria resides, for the most
part, in the cell. Most antibiotics can only reach the bacteria during that brief period
every month when it reproduces and leaves the cells to find new 'homes'. This is,
however, only my personal opinion and certainly not based in any factual evidence.
In closing, here are my personal thoughts about HMS-90 and Lyme Disease. You
know, Neil, if I have to take 2 packs a day for the rest of my life to keep feeling the
way I do now, it is worth every penny. I never want to go back to where I was before
HMS-90! I truly believe that the day will come when 1 pack a day will be sufficient to
maintain my health and I intend to do that anyway for the preventive measures on
diseases of aging. Life with Lyme is a terrible thing to live with. HMS-90 has given me
back my life! If there is anything else I can do or send that would help, please let me
know. I have attached my testimony as well.
Xtra Sharp does not work on the adrenal glands like other energy boosters. If you
keep stimulating the adrenals, you become very fatigued without your stimulant. You
exhaust your immune system and some Chronic Fatigue sufferers are turned around
because they were deficient in minerals--potassium, to be exact!
People who are taking potassium-retaining heart medications probably should not
take Xtra Sharp. Most people taking heart medications are on diuretics, which means
they are “peeing” out their potassium, magnesium and other minerals very fast. Xtra
Sharp is GREAT for them. If they are already on potassium pills, they can cut back on
the pills and take Xtra Sharp, which is potassium in a liquid form and much faster and
easier for the body to absorb into the system.
Some people are sensitive or allergic to some herbs – heart will race, etc. Just drink 6
- 8 glasses of water (dilute and pee out Xtra Sharp!). If you don’t drink the water, the
racing heart will calm down anyway. NO ONE has ever had a heart attack from an
allergy reaction, BUT it is scary to the person. Remember, this is VERY rare.
One more precaution: If you are taking Xtra Sharp everyday, maybe twice a day for a
long time, and it is very warm, or you are sweating a lot but not drinking water, you
can feel confusion, maybe even be a little dizzy. You are dehydrated and you’re
getting more potassium than you need. Just drink water and it will stop.
Magnesium: Magnesium has many functions in the body. One of the things it does,
working in opposition to calcium, is relax nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
Magnesium is mainly an intracellular (inside the cells) ion. Most magnesium in the
body is in the skeleton, 20 percent to 30 percent is in muscle, and only about 2
percent is outside of cells (extracellular). Magnesium regulates cellular ion balance—
keeping potassium in the cells and sodium out. In heart tissue, magnesium functions
as a calcium channel blocker, preventing the influx of calcium into cells. Calcium
influx can be precipitated by lack of oxygen to the cells. Magnesium performs all
these actions by being an enzyme activator. In fact, magnesium is involved in more
than 300 different enzyme reactions. Iron: Iron is part of hemoglobin, the oxygen-
carrying component of the blood. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their
bodies are starved for oxygen. Without enough iron, ATP (the fuel the body runs on)
cannot be properly synthesized. As a result, some iron-deficient people become
fatigued even when their hemoglobin levels are normal. By the way, people who
crave and chew ice all the time are VERY deficient in iron.
Calcium: Calcium is needed to form bones and teeth and is also required for blood
clotting, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. The
importance of calcium for preventing osteoporosis is probably its most well known
role. The body needs calcium to make strong bones. Calcium is also needed for the
heart, muscles, and nervous system to work properly. The bones serve as a storage
site for the body's calcium. They are continuously giving up calcium to the
bloodstream and then replacing it as the body's need for calcium changes from day
to day. When there is not enough calcium in the blood to be used by the heart and
other organs, your body will take the needed calcium from the bones. When you eat
foods rich in calcium, the calcium will be restored to the bones and the balance
between your blood and bones will be maintained.
Iodine: Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which are necessary for
maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body. Reports suggest that iodine
may have a number of important functions in the body unrelated to thyroid function
that might help people with a wide variety of conditions; these other uses for iodine
are only supported by minimal research.
Angelica: Historical or traditional use: Used for both men and women with
cardiovascular disease , including high blood pressure and problems with peripheral
circulation.
Celery seed: Historical or traditional use: Celery Seed is most often taken to aid in
the maintenance of healthy joints. It is suitable for anyone who wishes to reduce the
degeneration of body joints that commonly occurs with age. Celery Seed can also
ease joint discomfort that occurs due to inflammation and is, in fact, mainly used for
the relief of symptoms of such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, and gout. Celery
Seed has an antiseptic property that makes it useful to the health of the urinary tract
and a diuretic property to help relieve fluid retention.
GUARANA
The body system most commonly affected during these daily happenings is that of
the adrenals. The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, are responsible for the
secretion of various hormones, such as adrenalin, which help our bodies cope during
stressful situations. A constant onslaught upon the adrenals, which comes with
continued everyday stress, may result in one of our most common modern day
complaints: extreme tiredness and fatigue--often referred to as 'adrenal exhaustion'.
By rebalancing the adrenal energy, Guarana imparts a calming effect on the whole
body as well as providing it with increased energy and an uplifted mood.
FIGHTING DEPRESSION
The natural action of Guarana may have a special place in the treatment of
depression, especially where depression is brought on by nervous exhaustion or
menstruation.4
It helps to provide uplifted feelings without sudden highs and lows of emotion.
Because it acts upon the whole system, and not just one particular body part, the
effects are longer lasting. It does not give a short boost followed by a craving for
more.

I love my XtraSharp. I've been take it first thing in the morning just before my work
out. The first benefit I noticed is how it helped me give up coffee! I do love my coffee
in the morning; however it was giving me an upset stomach. So I changed my routine
and started taking my XtraSharp first thing and then going to the club for my
workout. I had no withdrawals ... I've given up coffee many times always with a few
days of headaches and cravings... not this time!!! What I noticed from my workout is
my focus. Yes, I do have more energy, however it's brain energy!!! My focus is sharp
and my mood is elevated. Unlike coffee, sugar or ephedrine there is no come down.
The energy boost is smooth and natural, never a crash!
And this is the best. One day a few weeks ago I was having a gathering at my home..
I hadn't eaten all day so I grabbed a couple of cookies...big mistake. I hadn't had
sugar for some time, and my reaction was a terrible headache. I had a bright idea
that XtraSharp would help. It was late in the afternoon, around 5:00 PM so I was
concerned about not being able to sleep so I only took 1 teaspoon instead of the
recommended dose of 1 ounce. One teaspoon and my headache was gone in 5
minutes...
XtraSharp is a magic elixir not just an energy drink!! It's a dream come true. A fast
acting product that makes a difference in someone's life.

I am looking forward to getting my order. I have to admit that when I asked for your
free sample I didn't really believe that it would work. I have tried many things for
energy, but they just haven't worked. When I talked to you I was skeptical, but I was
willing to see if your product would really give me the energy I needed to get through
the day. When it came in the mail it was late so I decided to try it the next day. I
had my usual coffee and was at the time of day when I feel real tired, (late morning).
I took the "XtraSharp" and waited. Boy was I surprised when it really worked. I called
and ordered it that day. I used the 2nd "XtraSharp" the next day with the same
results. Thank you.

Every morning before I take my walk I take a pouch of HMS90 (Immunocal), OJ and a
splash of
XtraSharp. I can keep up with the dog:)) When I get back from my walk it is time to
make lunches, get kids off to school and buzz around doing all the 'Mom' chores. I
occasionally slip in a round of golf – walk and carry! Come home, be a Mom again -
make dinner and get the kids off for their evening activities. Because my one child
plays hockey and lives 2 hours from us - I must be able to be alert for the long
drive home after games. Those nights I take another 'shot' at supper and sleep like a
baby all night long. Being in my mid 40's, I want to live the life of an 'energized
bunny' With XtraSharp I have accomplished that.

My name is Wellington E. Watts, II, and I live in Glassboro, N.J. and am presently
teaching at Ambassador Christian Academy. Since I write music too, naturally my
slogan has become: Don't BFlat when you can BSharp -- XSharp!
I begin each morning at 6:00am with breakfast. I take about 2 tablespoons of XSharp
around 6:15am. I arrive at school about 7:45am. I have a lot of energy for the day. It
gives me an advantage with the class because I have the energy to keep two steps
ahead of them. At the end of the day, I still feel good and not depleted of energy.
What is significant about this is the contrast with last year. I would run out of energy
by noon at times. When I got home, I'd hit the recliner for about a 30 minute nap --
totally exhausted. At 60 I now feel energetic and productive. I don't know how what
I'm about to say fits, but something unusual has happened. Saturday I returned home
from getting my hair cut. My wife Nancy said,” I don't believe this. I see new hair
coming in and its black. You are not nearly as gray." What's doing this I don't know,
but I'll take this little extra perk! This is what I take --
• 6:15 am -- two tablespoons of XSharp
• 3:15pm (About) -- 2 packets of Immunocal in a little OJ
• 6:15pm (About) -- 1 tablespoon of Magistral
I use the face cream on two marks on my face I had removed. Thank God they were
not cancerous or precancerous. The marks have almost faded away since August. I
take the calcium and the multiple as well. This is my everyday not-so-dramatic story
of just plain feeling good! "I FEEL GOOD!"
I'm not a morning person. Like, really, really not a morning person. So, I tried
XtraSharp in the morning. Five minutes later, I was dancing in the shower. I never
dance in the shower. I never dance! I love this stuff. Now it's part of my daily morning
routine.

I’m a police officer and a First Sergeant (soon to be a Master Sergeant) for the
National Guard. To maintain my weight, I’m an avid runner. The first time I used
XTRASHARP I ran the fastest time I’ve run for a long time. I continue to use
XTRASHARP for the extra energy and endurance. I really like the pick-me-up feeling it
gives me, without feeling jittery. As for myself, I love XTRA SHARP. I don’t need to
use it every day, but on those hectic days when I start to run out of energy, I take
only a ¼ of a Tsp. after lunch and feel great. I also like taking a little bit before
walking (if I don’t walk too late in the evening), as I’m able to pick up my pace and
burn extra calories. Greg Barros, Dickinson, ND
I have allergies and had been sick for a few weeks. I had been to the doctor 3 times
and the coughing was getting worse – I was supposed to wait it out. I would cough so
hard I would throw up. I don’t care for the funky taste of XTRASHARP but nothing else
was working so I gave it a try. The first morning I started to use it I was able to breath
better, I felt more energy and my coughing improved. I started with 2 teaspoons a
day and am taking less now. XTRASHARP has made a big difference for me.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 172
I'm the world's biggest skeptic. I get so tired of hearing about the next wonder
product. Most are all hot air. But, XtraSharp has proved to be very different. The
simple truth is, it gives me more energy. I'm an avid runner and I stay very in tune
with my body. I started taking 2 oz of XtraSharp before every run. Now I would never
want to run without it. My runs are noticeably better with XtraSharp. The thing I like
most
about XtraSharp is the kind of energy it gives me. It's not jitters or nervous energy,
it's more of a sustained energy that lasts all day. The other good thing is I don't feel a
"down time" later in the day. Ok, even a skeptic like me can be convinced. XtraSharp
is living proof. Dotty Helsel, Hollidaysburg, PA
List of Symptoms:
Headaches and migraines
Heavy menstrual bleeding to the point of being “anemia”
Pre Menstrual syndrome, cramping to the point of heavy painkillers prescribed
Mood swings
Depression
Anxiety
Severe tumors/cysts in uterus and surrounding the cervix area
Lack of energy
Mental process lacking clarity, cohesiveness
For many years I have had to deal with all of these issues, in 2002 I had been seeing
my Doctor too find a solution for the Pre menstrual syndrome and other health
issues. I was at the point of several different medications being prescribed. At one of
my appointments my doctor found several tumors/cysts in the uterus and
surrounding area.
After long thought I decided that a hysterectomy was needed to alleviate the pain
and problems I was suffering from on a daily basis. I could no longer suffer with the
pain and very heavy bleeding that was on going. As well, could no longer handle all
of the side effects to all the different types of medications that we had tried for some
type of help.
By 2003 I had seen my doctor and we made the arrangements for a specialist to do
the hysterectomy which was in 3 months time. My doctor did all the necessary tests
that were needed for him and sent off the letter. During this time with in days of
seeing my regular doctor a friend came over and introduced me to the Xtra-sharp (of
course not knowing all the health issues I had). He just figured I would need the sharp
for energy since I am a single mom of six kids. He was right, so I took it and fell in
love with the Xtra-Sharp. However, the amazing thing was yet to come. Three
months later when I went for my appointment with the specialist he could not find
one tumor or cyst. They were all gone, not one trace of them anywhere. Well of
course he back peddled and tried to protect my doctor who he thought had made a
mistake. I even heard him say to himself very quietly “that isn’t like her to make a
“….So I said well the only thing I have done different in the last 3 months is take this
all natural tonic. All I can say is he wasn't to open to the ‘all natural products’
However, I know that is exactly what got rid of them. Because when you look up just
a few of the ingredients on the bottle they do say for a lot of these symptoms I was
suffering from. And after all of that, I didn't have to have the hysterectomy. He
couldn't find any reason for it. Melina F. Coates Didsbury, AB

Hi Herb,
I started Prycena on April 24th. I stepped on the scales this morning and found I
had lost 9 pounds. Nine pounds in 20 days!!!! Credit goes to Prycena, my discipline,
walking a mile to a mile and !/2 , 5 days a week. It takes a well rounded program to
accomplish your goal. Prycena has helped me to control my caloric intake. It
discourages me from over indulging by curbing my appetite.
But the best testimony is that I've been taking Immunocal for one year at the rate of
1&1/2 envelopes per day. I have experienced eczema for about three years. I
wondered if Immunocal could possibly help this irritable skin condition. I have been
controlling the itching and the irritation by the use of a substance called udder
cream. Since four weeks ago I have had no outbreaks of eczema and have not used
udder cream on my skin. I have tried to figure out what I have changed in my life for
the past four weeks. I've come to the conclusion that I've changed nothing but have
continued taking Immunocal daily. I believe that Immunocal has been the prime
mover in my case to beat eczema.
I sincerely hope this helps someone else that is bothered by this irritable scourge.
Be diligent is the best advice I can give anyone who decides to help themselves by
introducing their life to Immunocal. Keep on keeping on!!! ( as the old saying goes)
Frank
I started the Prycena Dec 19/ 05 about 2 ½ weeks ago. In this time I have lost 5
pounds, and 2 inches. I feel great and looking forward in achieving my goal of losing
25 pounds in total. Will update when I have done this!

Protein toothpaste
Protein toothpaste
I've been using the Protein toothpaste now for two months and I love it! Not only
is it good tasting and refreshing but it has made a HUGE difference in my gums. For
the first time in eight years I had a stellar review from my periodontist. If anyone
knows about pocket trouble with their gums you'd understand the thrill of finding out
they are closing up. My periodontist was so impressed he asked what had changed.
Remembering that I had started using Protect about two months ago, I told him
about the Protein toothpaste. Now he is interested. Being someone who always
brushed and flossed, tried many types of toothpastes with no real results. I ate well
and took vitamins but still couldn't get away from the deep pocket syndrome with my
gums and then to have a 80% improvement within the last three months of seeing
my periodontist was amazing. Now I don't have to see him for 8 months, unheard of
with someone like me. This is a truly wonderful product and the results can be life
changing and lucrative. I highly recommend others to try the same thing and see
what their dentist say. Thank you Immunotec!! Sincerely, T. Rivera

“Did you get a copy of the latest “Health News” talking about a Major Medical
Discovery by a Canadian?
Yes, it is an absolute major medical breakthrough that’s probably as significant as
penicillin was back in the 1940’s. Everybody knows how penicillin revolutionized
medicine. What did he discover? What Dr Bounous discovered at McGill University
in Montreal was a way to raise your glutathione levels for the first time ever.
You’re probably wondering ‘what the heck is glutathione’? You can’t even
pronounce it. You probably haven’t even heard of that word, have you? Well, guess
what? It’s one of the most important words you will ever hear and you need to
remember this. An easy way to remember this word is think of wearing a tie. I lift
my tie up. I put some glue on it and I “Glue The Tie On”.
Do you really want to know the importance of glutathione? Your doctor has known
about it since 1888 and he never told you about it. There’s a reason why he hasn’t
told you about it. Want to know what the reason is? When the glutathione levels
dropped in your body there was nothing he could do. It was very serious – but there
was nothing he could do, so why give you the bad news, I can’t do anything about it
He’d tell you that you have a chronic illness, this illness or a disease thing but he
really didn’t tell you about glutathione because he knew he didn’t know anything
about that part of your body. Now – We Can ! And here’s why you need to know
about this. Glutathione is one of the most important things in your body. It’s
in every cell in your body and that’s critical because it does all the natural things that
keep you healthy in your body. We’re born with high levels of glutathione. This is
what nature gave us to keep us healthy.
And here are 3 things that it does, it does many more, but the 3 majors are:
Firstly, it’s your body’s Master Antioxidant. Well, what that means is, it makes all
the other antioxidants that you ingest, work 20 times harder. You know about
Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Selenium and all the other super antioxidants we’re
hearing about every day and we’re supposed to be taking to take care of the free
radicals in our body. If you have low levels of glutathione, you can drink all the
vitamin C in the world and you’re never going to keep up to all the free radicals
you’re putting out everyday. So it’s the key, it’s the Master. What do we mean by
antioxidant? Here’s how it works. One molecule of Vitamin C will grab a free radical
and neutralize it. Now the Vitamin C has been neutralized, so it has to leave the
body. Here’s where glutathione comes in. It grabs the Vitamin C and the free radical
then it brings it over to glutathione. Glutathione grabs the free radical and says
thank you very much.. Vitamin C go get another one and another one and another
and over and over again. So you see how that works as a Master Antioxidant?
And the third thing glutathione does, it’s your body’s Detoxifier . What we mean by
that is all that car exhaust, cigarette smoke, all those pesticides, herbicides, all that
stuff we get in our bodies. Our homes are full of toxins. The foam from the carpet
and vinyl we walk on is constantly out-gassing. Those toxins get into our bodies.
We’re dying because of toxic buildup because they’re carcegenic. Well guess what?
As a detoxifier in the body is it takes all of those heavy carcegens, those heavy
metals in our body and it makes them soluble.
Once they become soluble, the liver can process them and flush them out of the
body. So you can see, this is what nature provided to keep you well.
Now what’s the Master Antioxidant level ? Number one the biggest free radical
manufacturer, free radical maker in the body is Stress. It produces way more free
radicals than food digestion or exercise. And I don’t know about you, but this is
probably the most stressful environment, we have in North America . So you get a
huge ultra stress on people, using up your glutathione. You got these bugs using up
your glutathione. We have so much pollution in our body, we have our glutathione
working overtime. So that’s why you’re now seeing the results of it. Our glutathione
is dropping faster than ever before. And we have no way of replenishing it. Now we
got these diseases going crazy, I mean cancer, is becoming the number 1 killer for
children. There are 15 & 16 year old kids that have rheumatoid arthritis. Their knees
are swollen up like footballs. This is an old age, old man’s disease. Now you’ve got
15 year olds doing it. They say now, that, 1 in 3 people will get some form of cancer.
So now you see why it’s so important to talk to you about glutathione. What can we
do?
This is where Dr Bounous comes in. He has discovered a way to isolate those 2
bonded cysteine molecules out of the food source so that we can ingest them as a
food supplement every day and rebuild our glutathione. The animals are in Northern
Idaho, in a very clean environment with no pesticides or herbicides. They are
organically fed and have never had hormones or antibiotics. The milk is extracted in
an oxygen free environment. Then nitrogen is used in the milk machines to keep the
air out. Then a cold pasteurization process is used. Only in Dr. Bounous process
are ceramic micro filters used to get rid of the rest of the bugs. He extracts the
whey powder, sells off the cheese product to the cheese industry and packages the
whey protein isolate concentrate in a nitrogen free package.
Now with 10 medical patents and it’s sold as a pharmaceutical drug over in
Europe, and here in Canada it’s a food not a drug. Here’s the key, if you were living
in Germany right now, (a) you’d have to go to your doctor and (b) you’d have to have
a chronic disease, then (c) you’d get your prescription so you could go to the
pharmacy to buy your product which is a little late by the way, because you’re
already sick.. If you took this product, you probably wouldn’t have gotten sick. But
now it’s a pharmaceutical drug. That one packet is going cost you $ 20.00.
Ridiculous, it’s a food! The good news, In Canada that same packet contains 1 gallon
of fresh cow’s milk in cysteine molecule concentration. That’s a pretty powerful dose.
What would a gallon of milk cost you in the store today? $ 4 ? The white liquid you
see in the store today will probably cost you $ 4 or $ 5, depending on where you buy
it. Here’s the good news. That packet which is equal to one gallon of cow’s milk is
going to come to $ 2. That’s half of what you pay for the crap that’s in the store.
And because it’s food, no GST. So, to me this whey protein isolate HMS90 is probably
one of the most economical & the best nutrients I can put in my body for two bucks.

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?
• Glutathione is not yet a household word. Even doctors who have heard the
term may have only a vague idea of it. However, everyone will soon be talking
about this critical substance. There was a time when only scientists had heard
of cholesterol and vitamins, but today everyone knows about them. Now it's
glutathione's turn In the last five years, over twenty-five thousand medical
articles about this substance have been published, and this scientific
understanding is gradually becoming common knowledge.
• Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione
and must have the necessary raw materials to make it. Glutathione is always
in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of
pressure - illness, stress, fatigue and even exercise. Some well-known causes
of glutathione depletion are shown in figure I. Glutathione levels also diminish
as we age and many diseases normally associated with aging have been
linked to glutathione deficiency.
WHY GLUTATHIONE IS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH
Glutathione's three major roles in the body are summarized by the letters A-I-D -
Antioxidant, Immune booster, and
Over the past thirty years researchers have explored the value of antioxidants in
good health, as well as the treatment and prevention of diseases involving oxidative
attack by free radicals. This has produced a whole new branch of medicine - Free
Radical Biology. Free radicals have been implicated in all sorts of illness, including
heart disease, cancer, diabetes and aging itself. Well-known and widely used
antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium neutralize free radicals.
These occur naturally in nature, but not in the body - they must be introduced as part
of a balanced diet. Given the critical role of antioxidants in good health, it is not
surprising that the body itself manufactures its own natural antioxidants. The most
important of these is glutathione. Because all other antioxidants depend upon the
presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists cal1 it "the master
antioxidant."
Whey, a large group of proteins, is a constituent of milk from humans and other
mammals, and under ideal circumstances contains the building-blocks of glutathione.
Many whey products are marketed to health-conscious people but they vary greatly
in their protein content, their concentration, the forms of proteins present, and other
factors that affect the product's bioactivity (biological action).
Perhaps the most important criterion of all is the extent of the product's protein
denaturation - a breakdown in the protein structure. This reduces its potential
bioactivity in the body without affecting its food value. In addition, many nutritionists
point out that the fat or lactose content of whey products may still be high enough to
cause concern. Others have reservations about the milk industry and its liberal use of
antibiotics and steroids to boost production. Also, we cannot ignore the very real
issue of fat-soluble and water-soluble environmental toxins passing into the milk.
The whey content of truly fresh milk contains such potent glutathione building blocks
as lactoferrin, beta-lactalbumin and serum albumin - all easily denatured by heat or
mechanical agitation. Pasteurization and other industrial processes tend to denature
milk products and by the time they reach your table their bioactivity is lost. To
maintain the bioactivity of glutathione precursors whey proteins must be extracted
from milk with special means, and careful monitoring is essential. Whey products
may contain anything from 20% to 90% protein. These proteins vary greatly in their
make-up as well as the extent to which their glutathione precursors are denatured.
So, although some whey proteins are bioactive, most are not.
Healthy people also benefit from elevated glutathione levels through an enhanced
ability to fight off toxins, infectious disease, pre-cancerous cells and the aging
process itself. Diminished glutathione levels are a symptom of aging and are
particularly evident in such ailments as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

RÉNALD PLAMONDON -
CREATING POSSIBILITIES!
Location: VARENNES, QUEBEC
Rénald is a true and generous giver, helping many people - from
celebrities to physically challenged children. His very reason for
leading is to demonstrate the tremendous power of networking and its
potential in financial as well as personal rewards. Nothing brings him
more joy than knowing that he has helped to make someone’s dream
come true. He is committed to leading others in the organization to do
the same; mainly because he wants to relay the message that
everyone holds health as a priority, and therefore everyone has an
interest in hearing about Immunotec’s products and opportunity. As a
police officer, Rénald knows the importance of having “back-up”. For
the meetings he cannot commit to, due to his full-time career, he is
“covered” by Sylvain Dion, also a leader in his organization.

If there is one survival tool every HIV (+) person should consider it is taking dietary
supplements that increase glutathione production. Suggested dosing is 500 to 1,000
mg three times per day. Other supplements that increase glutathione include L-
glutamine (12 to 36 grams per day), alpha lipoic acid (100 to 1,000 mg per day),
selenium (200 - 800 mcg per day), and (undenatured) whey protein. Protein
malnutrition can cause a decrease in glutathione production too, so be sure to get
plenty of protein three times per day.
The Super Anti-Oxidants : Why They Will Change the Face of Healthcare in
the 21st Century by James F. Balch This Book is Worth a Read
(December 12, 1999 Reviewer: Ralph Nordstrom from Southern California) This is an
exciting book. Packer reviews the research on antioxidants, not only from his own lab
at the University of California, Berkely, but also from labs around the world. He not
only quotes research results in vitro and on mice but he also quotes such human
studies as are available. Packer is enthusiastic about the effects antioxidants can
have on improving health and increasing ones life. He freely speculates about
discoveries he expects will be found in future research but he is careful to state them
as such. I'd skip to the last part on implementing the Packer plan and put that into
action, then return to the beginning of the book and read up on all the research.
"Glutathione(or its reduced form, GSH) is a natural protein found in the body's cells
and in many fresh fruits and vegetables. Pressman, a chiropractor and nutritionist,
considers glutathione to be the most important antioxidant molecule, high levels of
which appear to protect against the dangers of cancer, heart disease, premature
aging, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses. Glutathione plays an essential
role in helping the liver detoxify environmental poisons and the body's own metabolic
wastes, a process necessary to overall health. Two dozen high-glutathione recipes,
lists of holistic health organizations and suppliers, and a glossary conclude the book."
- Penny Spokes. Read a section from Chapter 1: Amino Acids,Glutathione and Optimal
Health
Over 30 papers discuss the techniques and findings of investigating the level and
function of the peptide glutathione in cells. It has been associated with such functions
as antioxidant defense, the regulation of metabolic pathways, hormonal action, the
detoxification of xenobiotics, the maintenance of cell structure, and more recently
with nutrition, aging, and immunology.
This new resource captures the excitement of a new field in neuroscience, describing
the history and chemistry of glutathione in relation to antioxidant defenses and
oxidative stress. This book provides an overview of the glutathione molecule and its
various roles and makes far-reaching predictions about the potential role of
glutathione in the nervous system. The specific topics include the discovery of the
GSH receptor in hydra and its evolutionary significance, the regulation of apoptosis in
the nervous system, the role of altered glutathione status in the development of
Parkinson's disease, and free-radical toxicity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
