my life in this way, hesitation about anything is absolutely
useless.”

“Some view points on philosophy:


We are each responsible for all our experiences. Every thought
we think is creating our future. The point of power is always in
the present moment. Everyone suffers from self-hatred and
guilt. The bottom line for everyone is, “I’m not good enough.”
It’s only a thought, and a thought can be changed. We create
every so-called illness in our body. Resentment, criticism, and
guilt are the most damaging patterns. Releasing resentment
will dissolve even cancer. We must release the past and
forgive everyone. We must be willing to begin to learn to love
ourselves. Self-approval and self-acceptance in the now are
the keys to positive changes. When we really love ourselves,
everything in our life works.”

“The gateways to wisdom and knowledge are always open.”


“Life is really very simple. What we give out, we get back.”

Diabetes

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

Diabetes 4 # Testimonial

Lois Sausville shared this: I was introduced to Immunocal in October 2000. I am a


diabetic and was taking glucophage 500mg AM and PM. I began taking one packet
of Immunocal per day. Within 1 1/2 months I was off of my glucophage. I went for my
3 months check up and my Dr. had a fit because I stopped my pills without his
permission. I asked him to wait until my blood test was back to see it's results and he
did. His nurse called me, to say that the Dr. said that the blood test was normal, to
continue what I was doing! I also was on the verge of having my gall bladder
removed because of the pain that it caused me. After being on IMMUNOCAL for 6
weeks, the pain was gone and has not returned. What a powerful detoxifier
IMMUNOCAL is. I thank GOD for discovering this life-changing product. It has
improved the quality of my life immensely

Diabetes 5# Testimonial

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.
Diabetes 6# Testimonial

George, a 62 year old:


Since poor antioxidant and detoxification defenses are implicated in kidney disease
and the complications of dialysis, there is no reason to believe that GSH
supplementation may help individuals like George, a 62 year old former country and
western singer. George had struggled with diabetes for over thirty years. Following
only moderate success controlling his sugar levels, he developed progressive kidney
failure and subsequent anemia. In a few short years he went from an active ,
gregarious entertainer to a listless, sofa-ridden recluse. His energy level and
concentration deteriorated more and more and the local hospital clinic in Hawaii
where he lived was obliged to monitor his condition closely. His levels of biliary urea
nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine crept higher and higher - signs of diminishing
kidney function - and his red blood cell (hemoglobin) value continued to fall. His
physician placed him on a waiting list to undergo preparation for dialysis. After
hearing about GSH, George started taking 20 grams per day of a whey protein isolate
high in GSH precursors. Within three weeks his BUN and creatinine levels started to
fall - a sign of improving kidney function. After a further three weeks his hemoglobin
climbed by one full gram per deciliter (g/dL) of blood and he was again singing at his
friend's parties. His wife was uncomfortable about his exposure to alcohol and
cigarettes but three months later his renal function tests and hemoglobin levels
had improved so much his physician put plans for dialysis on hold.

Diabetes 7# Testimonial

Deana was a motivated, positive entrepreneur who developed a wellness health


center even though she suffered from a serious case of diabetes. Increasingly
fatigued, this 32 year-old Texan continued to run her center even after receiving
and rejecting a kidney transplant, failing eyesight and dialysis treatments.
Eventually she developed a chronic foot infection that required weekly debriding
of dead tissue. Her doctor feared that amputation might prove necessary. She
began taking high doses of the whey protein isolate Immunocal and found her
energy levels increased over several weeks. Kidney function tests and hemoglobin
levels improved. Medication doses for her anemia and hypertension were
decreased or eliminated. Peripheral circulation was better. Five months later the
foot was healed. Deana has since married and continues to run her clinic

Diabetes 8# Testimonial

1/2/03 MY TESTIMONY ABOUT IMMUNOCAL AND IT’S EFFECT ON CHOLESTROL &


DIABETES: Frank L. Brucknak I am a borderline diabetic. My Doctors require a
blood testing of both conditions quarterly. My test results on July 30, 2003 and
October 15, 2003 were as follows: Cholesterol 183 173, Triglycerides 86 68, HDL 46
53, LDL 120 105, Hemoglobin, A1C ( sugar ) 5.8 5.3 Being a borderline diabetic,
cholesterol is under scrunity much closer than if I wasn’t borderline; therefore a
reading of 120 on July 30 would probably would not raise an alarm if I wasn’t a
borderline diabetic. The Doctor’s were watching this point very closely in July to see
what the October reading would be. If it had stayed the same or increased,
medication would be necessary. In August I decided to increase my dosage of
Immunocal to 2 pouches per day. To my amazement my test results were very
positive (as seen above ) even in that short period of time. Thank God for Immunocal,
I don’t have to go on any toxic medication. To say the least again I continue to be an
affirmed believer in Immunocal and will continue to share the great story of Dr.
Bounous’s invention of Immunocal for the rest of my life.

Diabetes 9# Testimonial
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,
RN

Blood Disorders

Blood Disorders 10# Testimonial:

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,
October 24, 2001

Heart
Heart Attack 14 # Testimonial:

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

Hepatitis C Testimonial #16


"I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and cirrosis in 1989. I have been through 3 rounds
of interferon with no success. I originally purchased Immunocal for my mother-in-law
who has lung cancer. She noticed an improvement in her energy level right away. I
decided to try it for myself and have noticed more energy and an overall sense of
wellness. I am anxious for my next doctors visit to see how my blood work-up looks. I
have only been using the product for about 3 weeks. My wife has no significant
health problems but is taking Immunocal as a preventive measure and is already a
believer after nearly 2 weeks. She was a skeptic at first. So now my whole household
endorses the product. I look forward to better health and better living! My back pain
and pain in my side (from cirrosis and Hepatitis-C) has improved along with more
energy and desire to get out and do things." Sincerely, Michael Sinks 05/29/2001
Hepatitis C Testimonial #17

June 1, 2002 Dear Herb:

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

Hepatitis C Testimonial #18


Stay tuned for more.... August 5, 2001
Approximately five years ago I was feeling listless and generally in ill health so I
thought I would go see my Doctor. After a complete blood count I found I had type II
diabetes and also the Hepatitis C virus. When I asked my doctor what Hepatitis-C
was he informed me that they didn't know a whole lot about it yet and called it non A
non-B Hepatitis. I decided to venture off on my own to see where a
naturopathic/homeopathic course would lead. At this time in my life I was excited and
motivated to read and hear everything I could get my hands on to heal myself. After
all, your body is magical and given what it needs, the body can heal and repair itself.
Anyway, through eating mostly wholesome foods and proper supplementation, I was
making excellent progress until my blood test 6 months ago showed my viral load
count, which had previously been going down steadily, suddenly shot up higher than
ever. I was devastated by this news. After many more tests I made the decision to go
on a Doctor prescribed drug called Peg-Interferon and have been administering it for
the last 5 months. The side effects from this drug can be severe and do alter your life
style quite a bit. Some of these side effects were weight and hair loss, fatigue,
muscle and joint pain, and oh yea, loss of libido. Loss of Libido? Nobody said anything
about loss of Libido before I began the treatments. Then, I was introduced to
Immunocal and Magistral. Two packs of Immunocal in the morning and two late in
the afternoon have changed my life. I am no longer fatigued during the day, the
muscle aches and pains are gone, the rashes, did I mention the rashes? Well they are
gone too. No more soreness on the bottoms of my feet, headaches, sensitive skin,
my appetite has improved so I am gaining weight back slowly and my outlook on life
has never been better. I am also happy to report that since starting on a tablespoon
of Magistral in the morning and one at night and after only nine days my Libido has
returned. My wife Susie and I are delighted! Thank you Dr. Bounous and Immunotec
Research for giving me my life back., Jeff Beban

CROHN’S DISEASE & IMMUNOCAL / HMS 90 2/8/99 – Campbellford, Ontario, Canada


Gayle West: At age 7, our son Dean started showing signs of illness. He started
losing weight, had terrible stomach pain, was extremely lethargic and spent a
lot of time lying on the couch sleeping. It took several years and a battery of tests
and finally at age 11, a Pediatrician gave us the diagnosis that Dean had Crohn’s
Disease. The number of years had taken its toll and the disease had a very strong
hold on Dean. The first course of treatment was to give him Prednisone, an anti-
inflammatory steroid. While the drug seemed to work at alleviating the pain,
emotionally it was very difficult on him. As a grade 7 student, he would have rather
been sick and skinny than to have to attend school and have the kids make such
hurtful remarks. After following the required Prednisone treatments and being slowly
withdrawn from the drug, Dean held his own for about 2 months. Signs of the Crohn’s
slowly started reappearing. We asked that Dean not be put back on the Prednisone,
so his Pediatrician made arrangements to send him to Sick Children’s Hospital where
they were having some success with other treatments. Dean went to Sick Kids, where
they took him off of all food and fed him through a tube inserted through his nose
into his stomach. This course of treatment meant that Dean could have nothing to
eat or drink for 2 months. They taught him how to insert the tube himself so that we
could return home. He had to insert the tube every night when he came home from
school and start feeding himself with the pre-digested formula until he awoke for
school in the morning. Dean continued this course of treatment for the full 2 months.
On his 12th Birthday was the first time he was allowed any food by mouth, a piece of
birthday cake. Slowly, he started introducing regular food into his daily routine, but
he still had to continue the night feeds seven nights a week. For a year, seven nights
a week, Dean inserted the tube in his nose, swallowing until it reached his stomach
and finally he said he could do it NO MORE! At that point, the doctors at Sick
Children’s Hospital told us that he had done it longer than any other patient they had
and they said to let him go off the feeds and see what happens. It wasn’t long until
Dean started getting the stomach pain, the diarrhea and the tiredness. We continued
by going back to Sick Kids Hospital where they kept him for another 2 weeks and put
him on 2 more pills, did biopsies and sent him home again. And, again Dean did not
improve. He needed the night feeds to help his system get the vitamins, minerals
and calories his body needed. At that time, we decided to ask Sick Kids Hospital if
there was another way to administer the feeds. They said they didn’t like to go with it
because it involved invasive surgery. But Dean said he would like to give it a try. At
age 13, a G-tube (gastrointestinal feed tube) was implanted in Deans’ stomach. This
allowed him to continue with the night feeds on a regular basis and to allow him to
live like a normal teenager. For the past 3 years, Dean has continued on this course
of treatment with some good periods mixed with flare-ups of the Crohn’s – which put
him on the couch in pain every night for several weeks at a time. Although this
treatment was helping him to keep on some weight, the symptoms of Crohn’s didn’t
really allow him to lead a normal teenage life. The energy needed for sports and to
be fully productive at school just wasn’t there. Dean was now 16 and during the flare-
ups with the Crohn’s, we were trying to prepare him for the possibility that this was
as good as he was going to feel for the rest of his life. We had read everything, tried
everything suggested, both natural and prescription and were still willing for his sake,
to KEEP TRYING! That’s when I was introduced to Immunocal / HMS 90 and was told
by Paul Hazell that there had been good results with various conditions and it would
be worth giving it a try. After listening to the tapes, reading the material available
and discussing it with Dean, he agreed to give it a try. As a bit of background to
Dean’s eating habits, he never ate breakfast, maybe he’d eat lunch and he seldom
ate enough at supper to keep a normal kid mobile. When he did eat supper, he
immediately went to lay on the couch where he was doubled over in pain for about
15 minutes. We never worried too much about him eating because he was still doing
the night feeds and was being pumped full of calories every night. Sick Kids Hospital
told us not to worry, it was “normal” with Crohn’s kids! We decided to go to my
parents for the weekend the day that Paul delivered the Immunocal / HMS 90. I threw
it in the suitcase not sure whether he would start taking it there or not. I pulled it out
Friday night and asked him if he wanted to give it a try. He said yes, so Grandma
mixed it with some applesauce before he went to bed and Dean ate it. Dean woke
up the next morning, went to the kitchen and said, “Grandma, can I have some
breakfast?” She immediately answered yes and asked him what he fancied. He
answered “Bacon and Eggs PLEASE.” Well, I nearly fell over! He ate breakfast that
morning and the next 2 mornings. When we returned home, Dean’s improvement
gradually became more evident. He has NOT ONCE had a stomach cramp since
starting on the Immunocal / HMS 90. His weight had held it’s own and he has grown
to 5’-6”. The diarrhea has subsided and there is a marked improvement in his energy
level. At Dean’s last check-up at Sick Kids Hospital, the doctors examined him for
nearly 15 minutes. Upon returning the doctor told us he apologized, but they were
having a rather in-depth discussion about why Dean had done so well since his last
visit. It was then that I decided to tell them about the Immunocal / HMS 90. Well, the
medical profession is not readily accepting of anything new. They said he was more
than likely in a “spontaneous remission”, but did not note in his files that he was
on the Immunocal / HMS 90. Dean promised us he would stay on the product for 6
months to give it a try. Upon returning home from Sick Kids Hospital, I asked him if
he wanted to stop taking it. Without hesitation he said NO. He knew he was feeling
better and wanted it to stay that way. It has been 9 months now and Dean is still
doing well. He does still do the night feeds from Sick Kids Hospital along with the
Immunocal / HMS 90, but only 5 nights/week for both. We give him his weekends off.
He has to this day not had ONE stomach cramp. He spends hours after school
skateboarding or biking. He has lost NO time from school due to the Crohn’s other
than his doctor’s appointments. He is snowboarding on school trips and nights and
weekends and wherever he can find a hill. Dean’s Pediatrician cannot believe the
overall improvement in him and says that although she can’t guarantee it, Dean’s
improvement is the result of the Immunocal / HMS 90 and said she wouldn’t take him
off it. She said she has never met a teenager willing to take any type of medication,
so if he is willing to stay on it, he must know that it is making him feel better – and
you CAN’T argue with that. If you have been thinking of trying Immunocal / HMS 90, I
cannot begin to tell you what a difference it has made in Dean. Everyone has
something you should try and it’s difficult to sort through all of the information and
try to decide if you are being sold a bill of goods or whether there is some basis in
fact about the product. I hope that after reading this, you will honestly consider
giving Immunocal / HMS 90 a try. Although Dean will always have Crohn’s, it is our
belief that Immunocal / HMS 90 has given us a son who now can function as a normal
teenager and will progress into a young adult physically capable of a bright future.
Gayle West
Please note update: Upon speaking to Dean West as of 8/16/00, he is now taking
the Immunocal / HMS 90 only once in awhile when he feels his energy level going
down. He is feeling well and NOT taking anything else to help him with his disease.
He said he doesn’t need to. His words of wisdom to those who have this disease:
Bear with it and keep taking your Immunocal / HMS 90!

Chronic indigestion
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

Cystic Fibrosis Testimonial # 21:

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

Cystic Fibrosis Testimonial # 22:

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.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Testimonial # 23


"Just wanted to let you know that the products really work. I have Fibromyalgia,
osteoarthritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), GERD, headaches and
generally exausted most of the time. I started initially with 2 packages of
Immunocal, vitamins and calcium daily. I was begining to feel better with this dose
but into the 6th week I bumped upto 3 pkg. daily. I now feel great. I had been off of
work for 3 mos. after some bladder surgery and just returned back to work as a
Registered Nurse this week. Even though it was a busy week putting in
approximately 48 hrs, I left work on Friday feeling energetic, a bounce in my step and
a smile on my face. My co-workers were amazed at the change---keep in mind they
are all nurses or medical professionals and they know how they felt after working less
than 5 days in a row. My husband can't believe the change either."
Thanks again, Beverly Pool R.N. December 8, 2001

Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Asthma Testimonial # 24

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

Arthritis and Athletics Marion Devitt July/2004 (update)


I am a (100 lb) 85 year old masters swimmer. I have also been struggling with
arthritis for the past 20 years. I have to wear a brace on my wrist as a bone is
missing in my thumb. I was first introduced to HMS 90 by Paul Rothe in the hot tub
at our local rec centre. I have been taking two packs a day every morning for
almost a year. Since taking HMS 90, I have experienced more energy and less
pain from my arthritis. I work out and swim almost every day, and I have just
returned from the Canadian Masters Swimming Championships (May, 2004).
In the 85–89 age category, I set a Canadian record for the 100 metre
breaststroke (3:01:49) and knocked a second off the 200 metre backstroke (6:56:00),
which is one full minuite better than my personal best last fall! I am already working
toward getting down to the 5–minute record for the World Masters
Championships in Edmonton for 2005.

The following are my awards for 2004—so far:


Duncan January 200m Backstroke 7:30.92 Canadian Masters Record
January 100m Backstroke 3:08.91 Canadian Masters Record
Victoria March 200m Backstroke 7:25.30 Canadian Masters
Record
March 50m Breaststroke 1:19.90 Canadian Masters
Record
Edmonton May 200m Backstroke 6:35.92 Canadian Masters Record
May 100m Breaststroke 3:01.25 Canadian Masters Record
Ed. Note: The times for each category above are progressively faster. Paul has just
given me some of the new 5-Fruit Xtra Sharp to zip up my workouts. It seems to
increase the time I have been able to swim in the pool, and certainly makes me
feel during workouts! Paul also says I am looking better all the time, too—thanks to
HMS 90.
[Editor’s comment: Like many users of HMS 90 experience, Marion’s personality
seems to have acquired a new sparkle since taking HMS 90. Coincidence?.... ALL the
BEST to "YOU"

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

Rheumatoid Arthritis Testimonial # 29

March 20, 1998 Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia and Immunocal


IMMUNOCAL CUSTOMER: Woman, mid-seventies, experiencing severe, non-
relenting pain throughout her entire body, particularly at the top of her head, her
feet and her entire left side.
PROGNOSIS: After a recent physical, Mrs. Howseman was told by her doctor that
there was nothing they could do for her. She would have to change her life and
accept the limitations therein! Hello, my name is Mrs. Howseman. I’m an elderly
lady (mid-seventies). I have suffered from Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid
Arthritis for some time, having tried just about everything on the market to get rid
of this problem. NOTHING UP TO THE TIME I WAS INTRODUCED TO IMMUNOCAL HAD
ANY POSITIVE EFFECT AT ALL. Alice Weiss told me about this new product, but I had
given up on any real hope in helping myself. I say given up hope because after my
last visit to my doctor, I was informed that the medical people could do nothing more
for me. I was told that I’d have to accept pain as a limiting factor in my life. This was
very depressing to say the least! My hairdresser, Alice Weiss, the owner of Bertlynn
Hair Stylists, persisted – so I tried the Immunocal. After taking the Immunocal for
four days, at three pouches/day, I awoke on the fourth day to a feeling of
energy I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The pain was not totally gone, but it was
unquestionably less. When I went to place my feet on the floor, an experience always
very, very painful for me, I was shocked and happy to fell little pain. I haven’t felt
this good in years! There is nothing else that I can attribute this change to
and I continue to take one to two pouches/day. I’m a very happy person with this
change. THERE IS NO DOUBT that I will continue taking IMMUNOCAL.
Sincerely, Mrs. Howseman

Rheumatoid Arthritis Testimonial # 30


:
"On the fourth day of taking Immunocal, I remember thinking that I felt no different ,
but at 8:30 that night I got out of my car like I was twenty one , full of energy. It was
an incredible feeling especially considering the fact that I had Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome due to my rheumatoid arthritis. On day seven my hands looked and
felt normal. They had looked like lobster claws, red, swollen, and painful. I must have
looked at my hands every ten minutes for the next week with a big smile. Amazing!! .
What happened about three weeks ago , six months after I started taking Immunocal,
inspired me to tell my story. My psoriasis started to disappear, after thirty-six years.
I had tried everything I could think of, even the doctors told me nothing would ever
work, I still tried. The only thing they could recommend was a $65.00 tube of cream
about three inches long that had no effect at all. It's fun to watch my immune system
kicking butt!! I am fifty-seven, and feel like a young man again! PS. The Magistral
works also. Eight days after I started using the products my nightly trips to the
bathroom stopped. When I ran out of Magistral it started again. I reorder, three days
latter, a restful sleep and has continued. Never will be without it again."

Dr. Petrosino: "I have been using your product [Immunocal] for a month now to help
my rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and it has proven to work very well -
better than most of the prescription medications I am currently on. I have noticed a
decrease in effectiveness however the last 2 weeks and am considering taking 2
pouches per day. I registered on your "one box a month" plan and would like to
switch to a two box a month plan, instead. ...I would like to start 2 pouches per day
as soon as possible, (but only have a short supply left), I would appreciate a response
as soon as possible. Thank you very, (very!) much. Regards," Sharon W. Kanata,

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 32: " L. Christine Soldwisch Monday,


February 03, 2003 8:43 PM
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalsia and chronic fatigue in 1998. At first I was sick
3 or 4 days out of the month and very tired the rest of the month. Then it was sick 5-
8 days out of the month and fatigued the rest. Then soon it was sick 2 weeks out of
the month and exhausted the rest. Then over the years the pain became more
intensified and all over the body. So I used to count the days in the month I was well,
then it came down to days in the week, then day-to-day then minute to minute.
There was almost never a time when I wasn't in pain somewhere, or sick with
something, or dizzy and nauseous or all of the above. When I could do so, I would
walk, but it was a battle just to do what a mom and wife would normally do everyday.
I had to stop doing the laundry because we live in an apartment and I couldn't walk
to the laundry room, (200 ft away). My husband took over that job. I of course, could
not work, I had some days I literally couldn't get out of bed. Sheer exhaustion and
feeling sick. Many days I couldn't get my little one to school because I was so sick
feeling. I was put on pain meds and sleep meds and meds for digestive problems,
and anti-depressants. Meanwhile, my brain became so foggy that I literally
couldn't always find my way home. My own street seemed unfamiliar to me, I would
have to go to a place 5 or 6 times to remember how to get home. I forgot to pick up
my child from school, make deposits, pay bills, call the doctors, etc. My personality
underwent a huge change, my sister says I was snappy and unhappy and
impatient at times. I remember being so depressed I felt hopeless. I became so
sensitive to pain that the seams on my jeans hurt me, it burned. If there was a piece
of lint or a crumb on my sheets I would wake up feeling like a rock was burning my
leg. Headaches were a part of everyday life, and every night was a continuation of
the nasty day because I woke up every hour or so. I was at the chiropractor once a
week sometimes more, took antioxidants, vitamins, and chelation. Tried MSM, Sam-e,
Chondroiton, and anything else that came along to try to get relief, every thing I tried
had very limited success. Then my friend, who's son is dying of cancer, heard about
a way to boost your immune system, so she tried it for her son. I asked her to tell
me about it, because everything I had read about my illness, I felt it was an immune
system disorder. So she brought me a box of Immunocal to try. I started on 4
packets a day. I felt that if I was going to get help I needed to be on a high dose.
The first day after 4 packets I was standing a little longer and had more energy. That
was nice, but it couldn't be the Immunocal already. The 2nd day I had less pain and
found myself piddling around the house. Doing a little straightening and cleaning and
I made dinner that night with no help! The 3rd day I got out of bed in one motion, I
was stunned, I hadn't done that in years, I was starting to get excited! The 4th day I
was up and around and walking really well, with about a 40% reduction in pain.
Everyday since then has gotten better. By the end of the first week, I was almost pain
free! I was astounded. I signed up to be a distributor. My sister was on an out of town
trip, called me to say she was home, and noticed the sound of my voice was very
different. Came to see me and asked why I was happy, why was I standing without
leaning on the counter or finding a chair quickly? I told her about my newfound
health and Immunocal and she became a distributor. We are, needless to say, totally
enthused about this product. She says "she got her sister back" and I say "I got my
life back" L. Christine Soldwisch

Fibromyalsia Testimonial #33:

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

Fibromyalsia Testimonial #34:


Val from Colorado shared this for us:

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

From Carl and Sandy Walper 2/4/97


Dear Carl, My name is Chris Rice. I do Body Management Therapy, Touch for Health,
Reflexology, and Hydrotherapy. I have had almost 20 years experience in the
complimentary health field. For many years, I supervised people on diets and
supplementation. About two months ago, I was introduced to a product called
HMS90/Immunocal by Dr. Gustavo Bounous. I had severe Fibromyalgia for 3 ½
years. I was not able to use my right arm because of pain. I was unable to work or be
active in any way. With the help of HSM90/Immunocal I am now able to work &
exercise without pain. My allergies have cleared up and I sleep better. I have been
taking only one package a day for 6 weeks and am really excited about what it is
doing for me. I am now pain-free. Sincerely yours, Chris Rice

From Randy Green’s group, Linda Hanson shared: Linda if you remember, had
post polio syndrome, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia before she started
Immunocal. She left those symptoms behind and never turned back! She has only
been in Immunotec for several months but has made an impact on so many people’s
lives. She has also won the president’s award

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 37:

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.”

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 38:


Eva Beames from Canada shared this: In 1993 I was diagnosed with having
Fibromyalgia. My whole life had become a nightmare of pain, doctors, prescriptions,
numerous painful tests, alternative treatment, prayer and despair. I tried every
possible known pain killer, medical prescriptions, herbal remedies including evening
primrose oil, gelatinin, melatonin, vitamins of every kind, Devil’s Claw, Ginseng,
Glucosamine with Chondroitin, even some bizarre things such as soaking flannel in
hot castor oil (as described in Cayoe’s “The Sleeping Prophet” in my sheer
desperation for relief of pain), physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage, heat, cold,
splints. I tried and bought numerous pillows, splints, special heating pads. I spent a
fortune with minimal relief or temporary relief of an hour or two. I attended numerous
specialists; (i.e. Rheumatologists, pain relief) seminars, group therapy sessions,
chiropractors, naturopaths, iridologists, reflexology, reiki, meditation, tai chi,
therapeutic swimming and still the pain persisted. I changed my diet substantially,
i.e. no red meat, no sugars, no salt, limited wheat products, avoided anything that
might contain caffeine. I avoided cooking as vegetables aggravated my hands. I
changed my style of dress, i.e. sweat shirts (no buttons), pull on slacks (no zippers).
Appearance became unimportant. I am normally a happy extrovert, having been a
professional concert singer and then a legal secretary. I had a busy fulfilling life with
a full-time job, a hobby of singing/performing and teaching voice. When this
happened my life disintegrated. Chronic fatigue and pain I found difficult to
describe like the muscles were being twisted and burned at the same time. Simple,
taken-for-granted activities become a nightmare. Heavy doors were a battle.
My son-in-law bought me a shiatsu massager for Christmas, which I couldn’t use
because I couldn’t lift it to my shoulders. In his compassion he persisted in getting
me to try other products. I must admit I was cynical and ignored his first suggestions
to try HMS90 (Immunocal in the U.S.) However I finally did get my first shipment on
August 18th 1997. Within four days I noticed a change in energy level and began to
work in my garden. It was about ten days when I noticed I had no pain in my back,
the back of my legs and ankles. I was able to walk up and down the stairs in my
home with flexibility and ease. On August 31st I noticed that I was sitting in the lotus
position watching TV. I was so happy I was running up and down the stairs in my
home. As each day progressed, I noticed improvements. My immune system was so
depleted two years ago I came down horribly sick, with shingles, which left me with
permanent nerve damage, which disappeared in this two-week time frame. Then I
noticed the most dramatic change. My right shoulder had been frozen since January
1994, and became extremely painful and I thought perhaps I was losing ground
somehow but a pattern emerged. The areas where I had the most intense pain, my
shoulders the back of my head and arms became intensely painful, climaxed and
then the healing process began. My right shoulder is unfrozen and 95% pain free.
My left shoulder is in the process and is in the healing phase. I continue to notice
improvements each day. My digestive system ruined with over-medication
(sometimes 20 Tylenol a day) was definitely improving. I had been on Naprosyn,
Voltaren, Novasen, Amytriptillin, Norgesic and when the shingles hit me I was on
Oxycet, a derivative of Perodan. Now I take my high blood pressure pills (I don’t think
I need them but continue just to be sure), my multivitamins and Calcium A, D and C. I
only occasionally take Tylenol for the occasional headache. The overwhelming pain
seems to be under control, mostly gone and hopefully will all be gone soon. My life is
mine to enjoy once again thanks to HMS90/Immunocal and I thank God for Dr.
Bounous and his research team. Sincerely, Eva Beames, Toronto, Ont

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 39:


Gordon and Jean, Received this e-mail from Hal Gowing who is a retired
Portland Detective and who was present at the “Over the Hill Gang” meeting two
months ago. Hal started taking Immunocal and then checked with a Dr. that he
knows… about the product and what it would do for him. Hal just received this
attached e-mail from the Dr. Thought you would be interested. PS: This Dr. is
located in Gresham, Oregon, I believe.
Dear Hal...As you read this, pay diligent attention to the facts, because I am about to
reference a material which will improve health, increase resistance to disease and
slow the aging process. There is documented experimental evidence in the medical
literature to show this. I have spent much time in recent days going through
literature in the National Library of Medicine (part of the National Institutes of
Health), with much amazement. Most doctors seem to be ignorant of the information
provided, as I comprehend from patients I talk too. My interest in the substance is
intensified by the fact that I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in nutrition,
which I received from MIT prior to attending medical school. I just recently have
become aware of these benefits because of being introduced to a product which
increases levels of this naturally-occurring material in the body.

The importance of antioxidants is becoming known to more of the lay population in


recent times. Many people now are aware of vitamins E, C and A, in addition to
selenium, all of which fit into this category (selenium, in fact, is a structural
component of, and co-factor in, the normal metabolic cycles of the vital compound I
will discuss). However, the MASTER antioxidant, present in every cell of your body, is
GLUTATHIONE. It is made up of three amino acids, the units from which protein is
made. Antioxidants are vital in the neutralization of so-called "free radicals" formed
in the body during varying degrees of both normal and diseased metabolism. These
free radicals, dangerous agents that suppress the immune (disease-fighting) system,
promote deposition of lipids in arteries, result in formation of carcinogens and result
in premature cell death. Glutathione is essential to the optimum health of white blood
cells, which are the prime agents in the fight against infection and disease, in
addition to subduing premature aging of ALL cells. In other words, we therefore have
an increase in auto-immunity and resistance to degenerative diseases. Glutathione
also controls the available activity of major antioxidant vitamins E and C in body
function. A deficiency of glutathione can cause destruction of red blood cells,
leading to anemia. It also is the most powerful detoxifying agent in the body, to deal
with foreign unwanted substances. It is important to know that the concentration of
glutathione in human cells decreases with age. It is recommended that individuals at
ANY age take the supplement (this particular one is thought to be one of the best),
which I just started taking as will my wife. I did not mention that it also increases
your ENERGY level.

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

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 40:

April 2003 newsletter: Valarie Erekson from Atlanta, GA shared this:


About six years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue by
an M.D. who prided himself on being an alternative medicine doctor. Fortunately, we
were introduced to Immunocal at about that same time and made it our business to
learn as much about it as possible. When we mentioned Immunocal to my doctor,
he had heard about it, but obviously did not fully understand what it could do nor was
he interested. He gave me a prescription for Guaifinisen and sent me on my way to
learn about my disease (that now had a name) and about this guaifinisen stuff that
was going to help me get better. I didn’t like the idea of taking any kind of drug for
the rest of my life, so on my own, I abandoned the “Guai” and just took Immunocal,
then PNT 200 when it came along, and now the Xtra Sharp to manage my symptoms.
Most people I know with my condition, who are not taking Immunotec’s products,
take a wide assortment of medications to control their pain and other annoying
symptoms. They are not happy campers. I am drug free and proud of it. As far as I
can tell, all systems are functioning normally and for the most part, I feel pretty good.
Actually, I thought I was doing really well until I started taking Xtra Sharp. WOW! I
didn’t know how much better pretty good could get. Because of my age (late 50’s),
weight, and sedentary lifestyle (due to my kind of work), I am not running marathons
yet, but I do seem to be equal to any task I decide to take on including a recent major
yard cleanup and deep house cleaning & de-junking. I tripped over my own big feet a
few days ago and took what could have been a very nasty fall down some stairs and
bumped my head hard enough to put a dent in the wall. I can’t explain it, but I do not
have the first bruise, bump, or sore spot anywhere from that fall. Either an angel
cushioned my fall or these Immunotec products are much more than we realize. To
give an idea of my typical day: When I get up, I usually hit the floor running. I work
out of my home and between my businesses and all the domestic stuff; I easily put in
12 to 14 hours. I take one tablespoon of Xtra Sharp mid-morning and I’m good to go
for the rest of the day. I find the Xtra Sharp not only jump-starts my day, but it also
keeps me focused on my work. (No more brain fog.) If I do decide to take a breather,
I have no problem catching 40 winks before pushing on. As for the other products: I
take three packets of Immunocal every morning along with two PNT 200 capsules, 4
Pure Milk Calcium tablets, and one Co-Factor Multi Vitamin and Mineral Supplement.
At night just before going to bed, I take two more PNTs. If there is an evening social
event planned, I take just a little more Xtra Sharp in the afternoon. I also use the skin
perfecting cream and the toothpaste. You might say I am a true believer in these
products. Just as Dr. Iwama suggests, I eat a healthy diet of fresh fruits, vegetables
& whole grains, drink plenty of purified water, stay away from addictive substances,
refined sugars & grains, soda pops and processed foods, and I get a good night’s
sleep. As I mentioned before, I don’t get the exercise I should, but I’m working on
that. For some reason, when taking Xtra Sharp, I find I have no problem talking with
people, listening, making new friends and learning how I can help them. Before Xtra
Sharp, I’d mostly stay to myself and not reach out to strangers. Now I find it easy to
follow Jim Britt’s councel. I have been hearing a lot lately about women being
kidnapped in mall parking lots, etc. Women just can’t take the risk of going around in
a fog looking like victims these days. I find Xtra Sharp makes me more aware of my
surroundings and helps me walk and act like I am alert and in control. For security
purposes, I recommend we women take Xtra Sharp to give us the edge we need for
our protection when out in public. My husband, Paul, and I feel blessed to be
associated with Immunotec Research. Immunotec products continually amaze us by
what they do for us personally, and what they do for the health and wealth of others
as well. All the products are great, but Xtra Sharp is my favorite despite the taste

Hi my name is Kim Watros. I recently signed up as an independent rep. under


David Standeford. I started taking Immunocal, 3 packs daily, as of February 22,
2003. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Fibromyalgia, and within those 3 years
have tried everything known to help the pain, with no success. I started on
Immunocal, and within 2-3 days began to see results. I went to see my physician on
March 7th. I had not taken my muscle relaxants for almost 2 days. I got the most
wonderful news while there. My blood pressure went from 128/78 to 100/70, and I
lost 5 lbs. When doctor saw that I was doing well, he asked what I was doing
different. I informed him that I was on Immunocal. He instructed me to start
weaning myself off of Neurontin, Skelaxin, Oxycontin, Celebrex, and sleep
medications. He noticed that in the past 3 years I had tried many therapies: water
aerobics, chiropractic, stimulation, whirlpool and massage, with no relief. This was
the first time in years that I had not spent at least 4 days in bed, and he knew I had
not been able to walk without a cane because of the pain. But when I saw him I was
cane-free! I know within the next few months my condition will continue to improve,
along with my life. Also, my doctor is
reading about Immunocal on my personal website. I just want to thank my new love,
David, for introducing me to Immunocal, because it has made such a change in my
life.
Sincerely, Kimberly A. Watros

Fibromyalsia Testimonial: # 42

Hi Karen! To answer your question, my mother has Fibromyalgia...she's had it for


8 years and literally gave up until she met Lee Lewis in a medical forum online. She
used to sleep 17 hours or more a day, wake up to take 2 Percocets and go back to
sleep. She had given up on life. After just 3 days on Immunocal she was given her life
back. It is truly amazing! She has been on only one packet a day since November of
'03, and I'll be introducing her to the other products slowly since she has such a
sensitive system. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (it will be 2 years in
June). I have the speech slurring and the fatigue. Also, since a tumor is located
behind the optic nerve in my left eye, I suffer from Migraines and eye pulsations.
My left eye will close at times, like blinking, yet my right eye blinks normally. I am
clinically blind in my left eye. I have to tell you I was in total denial of my disease. I
have 2 wonderful children and I would have rather died than have them suffer with a
mother in a wheelchair. (I had 5 car accidents also, and was put on high risk....that
was a very hard thing to handle since I thought I was in total control of my car and in
reality I should never have been driving...2 of those times I was hospitalized, and
once I totaled my Jeep Liberty.) My success on Immunocal was not as fast as my
mother's, however my family and friends noticed the difference in me first. Now I can
see a more than just shadows and I don't have the double vision. I began taking just
1 packet a day in mid-December. Now I'm on 2 packets a day, and I feel
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
I am totally convinced about this product, which is why I decided to become a
Distributor. My friends want to know just why I lack fatigue now and why am I so
bubbly again? When I tell them that Immunocal is an all natural substance and about
all the ailments it has been shown to help, they are amazed. My doctor even supports
this treatment, and I am not taking the MS shots....he's allowing me use Immunocal
as a treatment for now with the stipulation that if I go back to having symptoms, I will
be back on the medication shots. I told him "I'm definitely NOT going back to a life
with no future....I have to much to live for now!"
My mother and dad have been away on a trip for the last 2 weeks, which is
something she wasn't able to do before Immunocal. My father said to her one day,
"Do you need to rest or lie down a bit?" Her classic response was, "No, do you?????"
Gone are the days of sleeping for 17 hours! I truly believe the most positive point
about this company is that there is such a great support system. And my sponsor Lee
always has time to answer my questions. He is such an asset to the company. I am
so grateful for regaining a life I thought I had lost! (Smiling)
Take care Karen, Mickee Breslin

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

Fibromyalsia Testimonial # 44:

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!

Phyllis Story: I just wanted to write a note to thank all my friends and family for all
their prayers and support during the last ten years of my declining health. As you
know, because of Fibromyalgia I became disabled and was unable to work, qualify
for health insurance, or do anything around the house. I rarely went to church or did
anything with my friends or family. I slept most of the time and it was often difficult
to even read or watch TV. In February a friend of ours dropped by with some
literature and samples of a product called Immunocal that was supposed to provide
the building blocks so my immune system could rebuild and strengthen itself. I was
very very skeptical. Besides doing a lot of internet research myself and not finding
much, I had heard from countless people who had "heard" of a "cure" which was 99%
bizarre! Since He was our friend I promised to read the literature to see of it made
sense to me. I assumed that it was another far out thing but I was wrong. I was
impressed with all the case studies and doctor's support plus there is no side
effects. I have been taking Immunocal for almost three months and can hardly
believe the improvement in my health! My pain and fatigue are gone and my
mind can focus again! I'm not saying I'm cured but I haven't felt this good in ten
years. I'm doing things I never thought I would ever be able to do again! I was even
able to discontinue all of my prescriptions. So thank you again from the bottom of my
heart!! Your prayers were indeed answered:)

"Hello my name is Margo Evans and I would like to share with you my experience
with Immunocal. Initially my search began on-line..for anything that might relieve the
symptoms of fibromyalgia for a family member. She has experienced pain for over
12 years. After several weeks of research, I kept coming across Immunocal. With the
research and patents, I felt she had to try it. Within about 3 weeks of starting to take
Immunocal she saw results...she started with 1 pouch a day and quickly went to 3 per
day ..everyday. She experiences less pain overall, less fatigue in general...and sleeps
much better than she has in years! This was really exciting ..and such a huge relief
Now, I have my 3 year old son on the HMS90(Immunocal) powder also, to help with
infection (he was getting ear infections regularly-causing the need for antibiotics -
(which started a series of yeast infections!) Although he has had the odd cough this
winter..he is very healthy!! He did not need antibiotics once this winter-no ear
infections, not one!! Another family member uses inhalers for his asthma, he has cut
back to about 1 puffer every 3 months, rather than 1 a month. Several other family
members believe in the product also..and take it daily, including myself. As a
preventative! Sincerely, Margo Evans 06/03/2001

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Testimonial # 47:

"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

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Testimonial # 48:


Sheryl was a 32-year-old mother of four children who had fallen ill following the
caesarian delivery of her last child two years earlier - the surgical incision was taking
far too long to heal. Her gynecologist was puzzled and noted some muscular atrophy.
She experienced periods of such profound weakness that she was bedridden for
days. Over the next 18 months this weakness recurred and she was eventually
admitted to hospital. Various diagnoses were considered, including multiple
sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome, but supportive treatments for these
conditions did not help. Then her dentist suggested that mercury toxicity might be a
contributing factor so she had her mercury amalgams removed. Herbal
supplementation was attempted to rid her of residual mercury. Her symptoms
improved modestly. Some internet research led the dentist to Immunocal, which he
suggested to Sheryl. Within five days she experienced a marked increase in
strength. After ten days she was walking without pain. Two weeks later she rode her
bike for the first time in two and a half years. Three weeks later, she felt "almost back
to normal." She still feels well and continues to raise an active family

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.

Information

Glutathione gives athletes an edge!

Studies show that increased GSH levels improve athletic


performance

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)

Muscle Performance ‘double blind’ Study: “THE EFFECT OF


SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A CYSTEINE DONOR ON
MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE”

Published in the Journal of Applied Physiology


87: 1381-1385, 1999
By LC Lands, MD PhD, VL Grey, PhD,
AA Smountas, BSc.

Division of Respiratory Medicine,


Department of Pediatrics,
Department of Biochemistry,
McGill University Health Centre-
Montreal Children’s Hospital,
Montreal, Quebec, Canada

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.
NOTE: The Journal of Applied Physiology in the United States, is used by
most doctors of Respiratory Medicine. (doctors who monitor lung issues in
health) It is a highly regarded medical journal.
Muscle Performance study for Immunocal/HMS-90 cont’d

Why is this important to athletes? Exercise increases production of free


radicals and oxidative stress which in turn, contributes to muscular fatigue.
To combat muscle fatigue, athletes need to raise their glutathione levels
whose biosynthesis is dependant on cysteine availability. Immunocal/HMS-90
is rich in “cysteine” making this protein highly bioactive!
A Canadian study, performed by Dr. Larry Lands from the Montreal General
Hospital, shows that supplementation with a bonded cysteine product can
increase muscular performance, improve body composition and antioxidant
status.
Dr. Lands’ double-blind study hypothesized that supplementation with a
bonded cysteine donor (Immunocal/HMS 90) designed to augment
intracellular GSH would enhance performance. Twenty healthy young adults
(ten men and ten women) were studied before supplementation and three
months after supplementation with either Immunocal/HMS 90 or a casein
placebo.
Muscular performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle
testing, measuring peak power and thirty-second work capacity.
Lymphocyte GSH was used as a marker of tissue GSH.
Follow-up data showed that supplementation with Immunocal/HMS 90
increased the subjects’ peak power, thirty-second work capacity and
lymphocyte GSH. Subjects in the placebo group (the other protein, Casein)
saw no change.
In addition, the subjects supplemented with Immunocal/HMS 90 had a
decrease in their percentage of body fat while maintaining their
weight (muscle mass). Muscle performance was increased by 13% in
leg muscle, while GSH levels were increased by 35.5 %. One would
assume that young healthy athletes would have high levels of GSH
or glutathione in their blood……but they did not.

GSH helps our body stay healthy this way:


A: GSH is the body’s own naturally occurring antioxidant and a free radical
scavenger. GSH acts as an extremely powerful antioxidant, protecting each
cell from being damaged by neutralizing unstable forms of oxygen.
( dangerous free radicals). GSH acts as a regulator of other antioxidant such
as vitamin C & E.
I: “Glutathione” promotes increases in the levels of T & B cells! These cells
are our front line producers of antibodies which help fight attacking diseases,
bacteria and viruses! (increased immune response)
D: GSH acts as a detoxifying agent in the liver. GSH is an essential player in
helping the body detoxify drugs, foreign chemicals, pollutants and
carcinogens. 60% of pesticides are removed from the human body by
“Glutathione!” (GSH)
Immunocal/HMS-90 is a safe and effective way of elevating GSH in
every cell of your body. The athlete gets more muscle performance,
reduces delayed onset muscle soreness and can help him/her avoid
illnesses like the flu, common cold and even more serious diseases!
Immunocal/HMS-90 is rich in BCAA’s better known as Branch Chain
Amino Acids as well.

Work Outs (for fast recovery) Dear Dr. Petrosino: I have been regularly using
HMS 90 Immunocal after all my workouts (for fast recovery).....which is truly
amazing! I currently am an elite tri-athlete who will be competiting in a variety of
triathlons for the 2003 season.......leading up to the famous Ironman Penticton and
Escape from Alcatraz. Since I started using HMS-90 mixed with my favorite grape
juice after a workout, I have noticed my recovery time has improved and my
energy levels are amazing! I used to take a whey protein I bought from a local
vitamin store; however, I never noticed the difference....whether I was taking it or
not. When a co-worker (Patty Wickson) introduced me to HMS-90: I was very
impressed! I religiously use HMS after all workouts and races! I basically workout 1 to
2 times a day; however, I only use HMS-90 after more intense or longer/endurance
workouts: 7 packets/week. I have a race resume that I would love to send you, if you
would be interested. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you
soon. Sincerely, Yvonne Timewell Thursday, October 31, 2002

Soft Tissue

Soft Tissue Damage Testimonial # 52 :

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,

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial # 54

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

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial #55

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

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial # 56:

Dear Dr. Bounous,


I don’t know how to start a letter of such importance other than to just get started
trying to tell you how much you have changed not only my life but that of my whole
family. I had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis over 20 years ago. I have
relapsing remitting form of MS. I have gone the full gambit of symptoms over the
years. Everything from numbness to paralysis, blurred vision to blindness and
pain. I’m sure you can imagine how many drugs and therapies. I have never
experienced a Christmas season without my yearly stay in hospital undergoing some
form of IV therapy. This is my first year without visiting my local hospital.
Approximately nine months ago after a month and a half in hospital I was
introduced to HMS90 (Immunocal) by a good friend Sandra McCrindle. She sat in
my kitchen with another Immunotec distributor spouting all the praises of HMS90 to
my husband. I wouldn’t come out to listen. I had heard it all before. All I wanted to
know is when I could take my next Morphine pill. The two dear friends persisted and
my husband bought our first box of HMS90. After much persuasion from my husband
I drank the drink he had mixed for me not expecting anything from it. After two
months on the product I had to admit that I was feeling better. Only after our
daughter came home from Ottawa and was amazed in the difference she saw since
she had last seen me in hospital did I really start to believe it. I was so stubborn even
when I was up walking in my walker. I am now after ten months on the product not
taking anything for pain or any other MS medication. I don’t use anything for walking
in the house; and only use a cane outside for uneven ground. My mother also has
had MS for over 30 years. She is also having phenomenal results on HMS90. She
has been on the product for over three months now and our family could not believe
the change in either of us at Christmas. Her speech, and over all strength have
dramatically improved. She is also free from bladder infections since on HMS90.
Although she is full time in a wheelchair her overall quality of life has improved. Her
transfers are stronger; and she even stood up for the family at Christmas with little
assistance. My husband after watching me improve so dramatically wanted to try the
product also. He has Wegner granulomatosis and was going through a difficult
time with side effects to chemo drugs like cyclophosphamide and other drugs. The
HMS90 has improved his strength and he no longer has the nausea from side
effects of the drugs he must continue to take. Our family is now a four box a month
user. Even our dog Burt couldn’t be left out; so he is on Xtralife. My children and
husband have their wife and mother back because of your research and talent in
bringing this wonderful product to everyone. Thank you, Thank-you, Thank you. Our
whole family is on HMS90 and feeling the benefits.
Sincerely, Kathy Charlwood

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial #57

"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

MS-Multiple sclerosis Testimonial # 58:

My name is Richard Jackan I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997 at


that time I was the chief engineer of an electrical connector company in Santa Ana
California. After several months the company decided I should retire so they gave
me one year salary and a nice goodbye. I went from a very good salary to Social
Security. Well that was the beginning of my quest to find some way to find relief from
multiple sclerosis. Since that time I have looked into multiple forms of relief, I started
out by going to anyone that seemed to have something they said would help, I went
two chiropractors and herbalists, I even tried Hyperbaric Medicine, which is going into
a chamber which simulates you going underwater to 37 ft. and breathing pure
oxygen while in the chamber, while I was doing the Hyperbaric Medicine, I found out
about glutathione, which is an essential health aid, from a clinical nurse specialist
who informed me that glutathione is only administered intravenously so I had him
order a supply so he could administer it. So I started injecting glutathione and it
really seemed to work on the symptoms of multiple sclerosis, I continued use it until I
discontinued the Hyperbaric Medicine, which was too costly to maintain. I started
looking for a new source of glutathione I looked throughout the Internet trying to find
a new source for glutathione, I found many references to glutathione but the sources
for glutathione were in pill form, and from my research I knew that glutathione does
not work when taken orally. So I continued my search and bumped into a product
that claimed it produced glutathione internally that product is Immunocal. I went into
the Internet to locate sources for Immunocal and I got in contact with the Immunocal
Company Representative and ordered my first boxes of Immunocal. And now my
story really begins. I started taking Immunocal on September 8, 2003 since
that time I have started noticing a slow recuperation first after a couple of weeks the
bottoms of my feet, which had very little feeling and my toes were not spreading
when I wanted them to, both the feeling of the bottom of my feet has come back and
I can spread my toes at will, which might not seem to impressive but when the
feeling comes back and you can move your toes at will, that's not bad. Another
encouraging thing that has happened is after I came down with this little case of MS
(Joke)... I was no longer able to snap the fingers of my left hand, interesting enough,
after a few weeks of using Immunocal I was able, once again, to snap the fingers of
my left hand and that's also not bad. Other interesting things have been happening, I
seem to have better vision and other things seem to be functioning better."

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

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
Parkinson’s Testimonial: # 61
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

Immunocal and my Parkinson’s Disease Diary ~ Dr. Lynn J. Tomjack


(Denver, CO) Status Report: August 6, 2005
Immunocal Works !!! ... the first (90) days

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!

By 2004 the disease was rampant in my body! By mid-2004, Parkinson’s was


obvious to my close friends and business associates; everyone but me. I had
stiffness in my right arm and leg … almost total loss of mobility and range of motion
in my right extremities. My stiffness was so great that in September, 2004 I started
writing all my business correspondence and even taking my business project notes in
shorthand LEFT HANDED !!! With the exception of signing checks and legal
documents, I had forced myself to become a totally LEFT HANDED person !!! Talk
about the ultimate denial of an illness.

Finally I looked in the mirror … Parkinson’s Symptoms were evident:


I experienced uncontrolled drooling … uncontrollable urination frequency … urinary
accidents … uncontrolled tremors and trembling motion in my right hand and leg …
blurred vision … lost of strength in my right hand and fingers … “glassy” eyes …
constant throbbing pain shooting from my right forearm up through the right
shoulder … lethargy … depression … constipation … I had it all. In my early 30’s …
(I am 56 years old now) … I took shorthand at 150 words per minute and was able to
type at over 100 words per minute. Now, I took shorthand (left handed) and typed at
a plodding 35 words per minute as my right arm laid virtually useless at my right
side. I typed with only 3 fingers on my left hand. Whoever said Parkinson’s was not
a horrible disease.

December, 2004 … my Parkinson’s Diagnosis:


Christmas Eve, 2004 … at the demonstrative urging of my daughter … visiting from
CA … I made an urgent appointment with my personal physician in Denver … an
Internal Medicine MD. Dr. Hussain IMMEDIATELY checked me into Porter Hospital in
Denver … Dr. Hussain feared I either … had / was a candidate for … stroke or heart
attack … because of my body stiffness and related symptoms. Christmas Eve and
most of Christmas Day, 2004 were spent in CAT scans, MRIs and a battery of heart
and body tests.

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

Day 83: 3-30-05 REQUIP (1.0 MG) … @ 3X per day … generic for Mirapex
Day 97: 4-13-05 CARB / LEVO … generic for SINEMET (25-100 MG) … 3 per day

Day 98-99: 4-14/15-05 CARB / LEVO … generic for SINEMET (25-100 MG) … 3 per

X Vitamin C …1000 mg / day
X Glucosamine / Chondroitin … 1.05 g / 600 mg … 2X / day
X Calcium Softgel … Vitamin D + Calcium + Magnesium + Zinc + Copper

Then a very dear friend of mine … (an Immunocal distributor in Denver) … Nan R.
Schouweiler introduced me to Immunocal.

IMMUNOCAL: Bonded Cysteine Dietary Supplement (Nutraceutical)


Started taking … (1 packet … 10 grams / day) … May 7, 2005.
Today is August 6th, 2005 … (90) days after my first packet of Immunocal. Over 90%
of my TOTAL pain is gone. My mental alertness has vastly improved. The Parkinson
tremors have dissipated and are better than 90% gone. I am more alert and creative
in my consulting work. My physical stiffness has significantly decreased … I am able
to “tap my fingers” rapidly both left and right hand … at almost identical speeds …
for the first time in 3 years … (my 80-year old mother traveled in July to Denver from
South Dakota because of concerns over my health … and she insisted on countless
pictures of me tapping my fingers rapidly together over and over. ) The overall
mobility of my right extremities improves each day.

My “quiet” decision to try Immunocal for (90) days:

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 !!!

Immunocal vs Parkinson’s … Results !!!

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 !!!”

About (6) weeks into the Immunocal program:

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

(3) months into the Immunocal program:


My personal results (from my Parkinson’s daily diary):

+ ability to sleep longer stretches and have deeper sleep


+ almost total removal of all neck, shoulder, and arm pain
+ regaining of majority of sense of balance and fluidity of movement on my
right side
+ ability to concentrate easier and in longer duration
+ regained lost creative ability
+ greatly reduced anxiety and depression
+ restored positive mental health outlook
+ restored sense of physical vitality
+ greatly reduced voice faltering and unevenness in voice tones
+ restored 75% of finger dexterity in right hand and fingers
+ eliminated constipation

Immunocal has given me back … “Quality of Life” !!!

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 !!!

My “Quality of Life” is returning …

⇒ (90%) of my mobility and range of motion has returned to my right arm,


fingers, and leg
⇒ My blood pressure (May, 2005) was 160 / 90 … now with Immunocal … it is
125 / 75
⇒ I now take shorthand notes with … either … my LEFT or RIGHT hand
⇒ The uncontrolled drooling has completely stopped
⇒ The uncontrolled urinary “accidents” have completely stopped
⇒ The dreaded Parkinson’s tremors are (90%+) gone
⇒ The “throbbing” unceasing pain in my right forearm and shoulder is GONE !!!
⇒ Constipation, lethargy, depression, melancholy … GONE !!!
⇒ Mobility and range of motion are returning to my right arm and leg … proof of
this is the fact that this 5-page memo was typed in less than 45 minutes …
when 2 months ago I was plodding … typing with (3) fingers of my left hand
while my right hand / arm lay “frozen” stiffly by my side
⇒ My vision is no longer blurred … I now can read the small print on my NIV Bible
without glasses … first time in years I can do that
⇒ I play in a competitive (Over 50) baseball league … and also a competitive
(Over 60) baseball league … and after (14) games this summer … I’m hitting
(.424) … not bad for a 56-year old with Parkinson’s !!!
⇒ In 2004 I would play a baseball game on a Sunday … and it would take me a
full week (6 days) to recover physically and be ready for the next game …
now after taking Immunocal for (90) days … let me give you my physical
schedule for the last (10) days:

• 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

JULY 19, 2005 … APPOINTMENT WITH DR. WOLFF, NEUROLOGIST:

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.

Final Comments about Parkinson’s and Immunocal:

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.

My suggestion … contact a Distributor!


My final recommendation: If you … or someone you love … HURTS … try Immunocal
faithfully for (3) months … and make your own decision for your personal health.
WHY am I so enthusiastic about Immunocal … because Immunocal gave me dignity
and my “quality of life” back … in spite of Parkinson’s … praise God !!! Sincerely, Dr.

Stroke

Stroke Information #64:


Medical Information Neurodegenerative Disorders: GSH
Prevention of Neuronal Death.
GSH is an important protector of energy metabolism (mitochondrial function) during
periods of oxidative stress.54 Dopaminergic neurons are very sensitive to changes in
the internal oxidant buffering capacity of the cell caused by reductions in GSH levels
that can lead to disruption of calcium homeostasis and cell death.55 GSH, but not
vitamins C or E, protects human neural cells from dopamine-induced apoptosis. 56
Notably, dopamine treatment during GSH depletion is documented to produce
defects in psychomotor behavior in a laboratory animal model.57
Oxidative stress has been implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders and
may be a common mechanism underlying various forms of cell death including
excitotoxicity, apoptosis and necrosis. Bains and Shaw 58 present evidence for a role
of oxidative stress and diminished GSH in Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), Parkinson’s
disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. GSH modulation may prove to be beneficial in
spinal cord injury,59 multiple sclerosis60 and stroke.61,62 Since cysteine
supplementation increases GSH it may hold promise as a method to modulate
neurodegenerative diseases.

Lupus

Lupus Testimonial # 65:

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."

LUPUS & FIBROMYALGIA TESTIMONIAL


I was diagnosed with Lupus and Fibromyalgia two years ago. I was on Prednisone
with all its side effects, Zanax for panic attacks, Vicodin for pain, Flexeril for muscle
spasms, Prozac for depression, Ambion for sleep and Valium for nerves. I had
suffered with constant excruciating headaches for over a year. I could not do simple
chores and could not drive. I also suffered from inflammatory Bowel Syndrome
and had to use laxatives on a regular basis. I received my first box of Immunocal on
a Monday and took the first packet at 4:30 p.m. At the time, my legs feet and hands
were causing me great pain and I had severe headache. About 30 minutes later, I
notice a warm tingling sensation in my legs, feet and hands and about two hours
later the pain in these areas disappeared. When I awoke Tuesday morning, the
headache was gone and my back pain was gone. I was able to cook supper that
evening for the first time in over seven months. The following Thursday, I was able to
vacuum the house, clean my oven and rearrange the furniture. I have been taken
three packets of Immunocal a day for over three weeks now. I went through a short
period of detoxification as Immunocal removed the drug residue from my body, I am
now pain free, able to do my housework and able to drive again. My skin is soft and
supple and the spots on my face have faded. My complexion has gone from pale and
shallow
to having a healthy glow. I have complete mobility for the first time in over two
years. My body is back in balance and all bodily functions are normal. Thank-you Dr.
Bounous for Immunocal and for giving me my life back Carol, East Texas

- Autism Medical Information Report:


Antioxidant Levels May be Linked to Autism var byline = 'By Serena
Gordon HealthDay Reporter,'; if By Serena Gordon HealthDay Reporter
SUNDAY, April 3 (HealthDay News) -- Could oxidative stress, a suspected contributor
to many disease processes like heart disease and cancer, also play a role in autism?
University of Arkansas researchers think it may. In a recent study, autistic children
were found to have significantly lower levels of an antioxidant called glutathione and
its metabolic precursors. "Glutathione is the major antioxidant in cells important for
detoxification and elimination of environmental toxins, and its active form is reduced
in about 80 percent of the kids with autism," said the study's lead author, S. Jill
James. She is director of the biochemical genetics laboratory at Arkansas Children's
Hospital Research Institute and a professor of pediatrics at the College of Medicine at
the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. Reduced levels of
antioxidants, such as glutathione, would increase the level of oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress occurs when antioxidants aren't able to clear the body of free
radicals, which can damage cells in the brain, gastrointestinal tract and immune
system. "[Our findings] suggest that these kids would be more sensitive to an
environmental exposure and would be less likely to detox from heavy metals," said
James. Exposure to heavy metals, such as the mercury preservative that was
commonly used in children's vaccines until recently, has long been suspected as a
trigger for autism in genetically susceptible children. Most research, however, has
failed to confirm this link, and in 2004, the Institute of Medicine issued a report
stating that it did not believe that vaccines contributed to the development of
autism. Not everyone agreed with that conclusion, however. Laura Bono, chairwoman
of the National Autism Association, and the parent of an autistic child, believes
vaccines play some sort of role in the development of autism and said the new
study's findings would seem to support a link. "These are children that are more
vulnerable, that don't quite detox the way the rest of us do," said Bono. James didn't
look at the vaccine question for the current study. She said that autism is believed to
have a genetic basis, but that it "takes an environmental trigger to bring out the
genetics." For this study, James and her colleagues compared blood samples of 90
autistic children to those of 45 children without the disorder, and found that the
active form of glutathione was reduced by about 80 percent in children with autism.
James also said the metabolic precursors of glutathione were reduced. "If they have
lower glutathione, they would reach a toxicity earlier than someone with higher
levels," said James. "But, it's not clear whether this is a cause or a consequence of
autism," she added. James and her team also looked at changes that occur in several
genes that could affect glutathione metabolism in blood samples from 233 autistic
children, vs. 183 children without autism. They found changes in three genes more
often in the children with autism. James said these are common genes that don't
cause autism, but they could contribute to the development of these metabolic
abnormalities. James presented the study findings Saturday at the American Society
for Nutritional Sciences' scientific sessions at the Experimental Biology conference in
San Diego. While this study is just a first step, she said, it wouldn't be unreasonable
for parents of autistic children to talk with their child's doctor about giving them
antioxidant supplements since these supplements are non-toxic. Others aren't so
sure, however."This is an interesting study and worth some more follow-up, but for
parents or clinicians, it's an item of note, not a call to action," said Craig Newschaffer,
director of the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities Epidemiology at
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. "There are no leaps to
be made about using antioxidants as a therapeutic agent." In other autism research
released this week, scientists from the University of California, San Diego report that
the "mirror" neurons don't function properly in people with autism. Mirror neurons are
those that activate when you perform an action and then see someone else perform
the same action, or vice versa. These neurons have also been dubbed the "monkey-
see, monkey-do" cells. "The findings provide evidence that individuals with autism
have a dysfunctional mirror neuron system, which may contribute to their
impairments -- especially those that involve comprehending and responding
appropriately to others' behavior," one of the study's author, Lindsay Oberman, a
doctoral student at UCSD, said in a statement. The research will be published in the
journal Cognitive Brain Research

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

Depression Testimonial # 70:


I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. I never told anyone
about what I was going through. However, the people closest to me were aware of
my mood swings and how I acted during certain stressful times in my life.
In 2001 I went to my family Doctor to get some help with severe anxiety and
depression. Of course, the only thing they can do is prescribe various popular
medications that carry all sorts of other symptoms and side effects for which more
medications are prescribed, thereby compounding the problems. I have never been
one to take medications, I usually always try other ways to fix any health problems. I
have learned over the years that I my physiology is extremely sensitive to
medications, so I don’t like taking anything that makes me feel like I’m in a fog.
Unfortunately a lot of anti-depressants do exactly that. This is one of the many
reasons I tend to favor alternative approaches to maintaining my health. So from
2001 to 2003 I went through many trail and errors of trying to correct these issues.
Then a friend came by one evening for dinner, and introduced me to some products
from Immunotec (HMS 90 and Xtra-sharp ) After taking one package a day of HMS 90
and 60mls of sharp each day I noticed that I felt better. I had more energy, and most
importantly I didn’t feel the effects of the depression. I felt 100% better in a matter of
days and it only took a short time to STOP all medical prescriptions. Of course, I kept
my personal physician completely informed of what I was doing throughout this
period.
I have heard that discontinuing anti-depressant medication carries with it certain
withdrawal stages, but I experienced none of that, thanks to Immunotec!

Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's Testimonial # 71:

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
ALL the BEST

Neurodegenerative Diseases – Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s


Information # 72
By Patricia A.L. Kongshavn, Ph.D

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are neurodegenerative diseases in which cell damage


and degeneration is seen in certain specific areas of the brain. In Parkinson’s disease
nerve cells slowly degenerate in the part of the mid-brain (the substantia nigra layer
of the basal ganglia) that controls movement, resulting in progressive loss of
muscular coordination and balance. In Alzheimer’s disease brain cells degenerate,
brain mass shrinks and characteristic neurofibrillary tangles and neural plaques are
seen post mortem. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial damage
plays a key role in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and some other neurodegenerative
diseases (1-5). This, in turn, increases the generation of reactive oxygen species and
the onset of oxidative stress, leading to oxidative damage and programmed cell
death. At the same time, glutathione homeostasis is disturbed (6-9). In one study,
glutathione levels were reduced by 40% in the substantia nigra in early stage
Parkinson’s disease (7). These
levels fall even much further in later stages, the magnitude of reduction in
glutathione seeming to parallel the severity of the disease (9). The lowered
glutathione values and increased oxidative stress are thought to be responsible for
the loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease
patients (7, 8). The use of antioxidants, particularly glutathione, for the treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases is an obvious consideration (6-9). In an in vitro study,
glutathione was shown to protect human neural cells from apoptosis i.e. cell death,
induced by dopamine (8). Sechi et al. showed that intravenous injection of
glutathione was effective in reducing symptoms (42% decline in disability) in early
Parkinson’s disease patients and possibly retarded the progression of the disease (9).
Other treatment options to increase brain concentrations of glutathione are better
choices for long-term treatment. Banaclocha has reviewed the putative usefulness of
N-acetyl cysteine for this purpose in the treatment of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and
other age-associated neurodegenerative diseases (1). Immunocal is an even better
choice than this drug, being entirely non-toxic and proven to raise intracellular
glutathione
(10). References.

Asthma Testimonial # 74:

September 19, 2002


Dear Scott, As you know, I have been using Immunocal for about six months.
What you didn’t know, until now, is that I was sending some of it to my brother in
Barbados. His eleven-year-old daughter has asthma and, although she has been
to three different doctors, she was getting very little relief. About two months ago, I
received a call from my brother who informed me that after ten days of using the
Immunocal, his daughter’s symptoms had virtually disappeared. He was
surprised and delighted, to say the least. But here is the REALLY amazing part: Just
to convince himself that it was the Immunocal that had made his daughter better, he
stopped giving it to her. And after a week all of her symptoms returned – the
coughing, the wheezing, and the shortness of breath. He then put her back on the
Immunocal, and within three days she was back to her healthy self, once again. Now
he buys the Immunocal locally, in Barbados, and he is convinced that if he continues
to give it to her she may be cured in about a year’s time. I don’t know about anyone
else but I’m sold on this product. I think it is truly amazing.

Sincerely, Jason

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

To whom it may concern: Fourteen years ago I was diagnosed with having a growth
on my liver the size of a grapefruit. This growth has remained the same size all
these years, but now I am happy to report that the Ultra-Sound I had done in Dec 97
revealed that this growth is almost gone. I am also grateful that I was introduced to
HMS 90 (Immunocal) in March of last year and began using the product then. This
product has also got rid of my allergies, Arthritis in my finger joints is gone and
mental attitude has improved. I am also very pleased with the results I have received
from HMS 90. Sincerely, J. Mary Johnston

Allergies Testimonial #77

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

Chronic Bronchitis & Emphysema

Chronic Bronchitis & Emphysema Testimonial # 78

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

LUNG DISEASE Testimonial # 80 many Cases Studies on Many


Illnesses

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

ANTIOXIDANTS AND THE LUNGS


As you will see in the following pages, inflammation of the lung is
common to most pulmonary diseases, whether the disorder is acute –
like toxic exposure – or chronic – like cystic fibrosis. The process of
infection in asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia all lead to inflammation.
Many traditional medications attempt to reduce this inflammation. The
body’s inflammation response itself generates free radicals, and
antioxidants are increasingly used to complement conventional
treatments. The researchers P.E. Morris and G.R. Bernard drew
attention to this complementary treatment in an article aptly called
“Significance of glutathione in lung disease and implications for
therapy”, in which they reviewed the great weight of evidence that
supports such research.

There is a fragile balance in the lungs between oxidants and


antioxidants. Oxidative stress is high in the lungs for many reasons.
For a start, this center of oxygen interchange produces very large
numbers of oxyradicals. Secondly, white blood cells are highly active
in the lining of the lungs, where they release huge quantities of
oxidative products, both because of their high metabolic rates and the
way they combat biological and chemical invaders. Finally,
antioxidants in the fluid lining of the lungs play a large part in our
front-line defense against airborne pollutants, many of which are
powerful sources of free radicals.

When white blood cells encounter, for example, a bacteria, they


release caustic substances like peroxides. This is biochemical warfare,
and the white blood cell and the surrounding tissues use GSH to
defend themselves. When oxidant levels grow too high or GSH levels
too low, the inevitable result is tissue damage. Remember that GSH is
the most critical of all naturally-occurring antioxidants and that it
effectively supports exogenous antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
Unlike glutathione, exogenous antioxidants are derived from the
outside environment and are not native to the body, but together they
soak up free radicals.

Generally, most tissues and organs must manufacture their own


glutathione from dietary or drug-delivered precursors. However, the
lining of the respiratory tree – which usually requires high levels of GSH
– can absorb GSH directly. To take advantage of this unusual ability, a
topical GSH aerosol has been developed and used successfully to treat
a number of diseases, including adult respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS), pulmonary fibrosis and HIV infection. In addition, the topical
form of NAC (Mucomist) – a potent GSH precursor – has long been used
as a treatment for cystic fibrosis.

Oral and intravenous GSH precursors are receiving a lot of attention


from researchers, and many papers have been published on the
subject. Pulmonologists (lung doctors) are paying increasing attention
to lung GSH content and learning a great deal about future
applications. O. Ortolani and his team in Italy placed forty intensive
care patients with respiratory difficulties on intravenous GSH. They
compared their response to an equal number of patients not given the
treatment and found significant reductions in oxidative stress levels.

An experiment in preventive medicine was conducted by S. De Flora


and his research team at the Institute of Hygiene and Preventive
Medicine, University of Genoa. Patients were placed on a course of
oral NAC tablets or placebo during the months of the influenza season.
Although the number of people infected by the virus was unchanged,
subjects receiving NAC experienced significantly fewer and less
virulent symptoms.

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.

Asthma is variable in frequency and severity and can be triggered by a


very wide variety of stimuli, including allergens (things that provoke an
allergic response). These include dust, pollen, dander (tiny particles of
animal skin, fur and feather), certain foods and drugs, viral infections,
emotional stress, anxiety and even plain old exercise. Muscles within
the walls of the bronchioles flex and go into spasm, the walls thicken,
air passages become clogged by mucus, and air is trapped in the
deepest airways (the alveoli). The wheezing sound is caused by air
passing with difficulty through these narrowed passages. In its
severest form, breathing become impossible and the patient
suffocates.

Asthma sufferers should make an effort to identify and avoid the


triggers that cause their attacks, whether allergic, infectious, toxic, or
emotional. They can also take preventative medications –
antihistamines and sodium cromoglycate. These minimize the effects
of all allergic response. Once an attack is in progress other drugs are
needed to reopen (dilate) the walls of the bronchioles. These are
called bronchodilators and are commonly used in inhalers such as
salbutemol or albuterol. Inhaled or ingested steroids are also
available. They minimize the swelling and inflammation of the
bronchial walls. In any case, once an attack has begun, treatment
must be immediate and aggressive. The longer an attack lasts, the
more the symptoms advance and the longer they take to reverse.
There is little time to waste.

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.

Dietary, environmental, and genetic factors that diminish the potency


of the antioxidant systems in the lung increase the risk of asthma.
This relationship between antioxidant levels and asthma is seen in
situations of elevated free-radical activity. Examples are lead
poisoning, excessive iron stores and G6PD-deficiency, as well as low
levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium (a component of
glutathione peroxidase).

A recent presentation to the American Lung Association by


pulmonologist Dr. Carol Trenga described an antioxidant cocktail that
helped asthmatics who were particularly sensitive to air pollutants.
European physicians have long used GSH precursors in the treatment
of asthma, particularly as a mucolytic (phlegm thinner) to break down
thick secretions. In a double-blind study, inhaled bronchodilators were
used with and without NAC. The NAC (GSH-enhanced) group
experienced greater improvement in pulmonary function than the
control group.

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.

Acute bronchitis is almost always caused by infection, either viral or


bacterial. Coughing, chest pains, fever and chills are common
complaints. In the healthy individual, it is usually a short-lived illness
that clears up once the infection is overcome. If the infection is
bacterial or mycoplasmal, antibiotics may be required. Occasionally,
some inflammation remains, leading to a post-inflammatory cough that
may persist for weeks. Inhaled steroids are often prescribed for this
condition.

Like emphysema (described below), chronic bronchitis is an ongoing


illness requiring frequent medical attention. Although it may be
exacerbated by infectious disease, chronic bronchitis is usually caused
by long-term exposure to lung irritants – toxins, allergens or repeated
bouts of acute bronchitis. The most common cause of chronic
bronchitis is cigarette smoke.

Lungs exposed to tobacco smoke are subject to several pathological


processes. One of the most critical is the dysfunction or loss of cilia
lining the airways. Cilia are microscopic hair-like structures that trap
and remove dust, mucus and other debris. A single puff of a cigarette
can paralyze these hairs, increasing the chances of subsequent lung
injury and infection.

As chronic bronchitis progresses, the lung’s ability to exchange oxygen


and carbon dioxide diminishes. In an attempt to compensate for the
loss of pulmonary function, energy demands increase, the chest
muscles work harder and the heart pumps faster. This in turn can lead
to secondary diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, heart failure
and emphysema.

Emphysema progresses slowly over time and is usually the result of


prior lung disease. Chronic cough and shortness of breath are typical
symptoms. Although it may occasionally be caused by hereditary
factors, environmental exposures, chronic asthma or chronic
bronchitis, emphysema most often results from years of heavy
smoking. It is the most common cause of death from respiratory
disease in North America.
Emphysema shares many symptoms with chronic bronchitis. In fact,
the two diseases usually overlap to some degree. They are often
classed together under the heading COPD (chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease). However, they differ anatomically. Emphysema
results in irreversible damage to alveoli – tiny sac-like structures where
the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. Alveoli are
counted in the millions, like bubbles in a bubble bath. Emphysema
causes them to burst one by one. They then coalesce into fewer,
larger sacs. As a result, their total surface area dwindles, decreasing
the amount of air that can be exchanged by each breath.

It is well known that most lung diseases are characterized by weak


antioxidant activity and impaired glutathione-related enzyme systems.
Taking advantage of this information, a group of French researchers
tested to see whether GSH screening could predict a predisposition to
pulmonary diseases. They tested subjects for the absence of a gene
(GSTM1) responsible for a specific GSH enzyme. About 47% of the
French population lacks this gene. They found that heavy smokers
with moderate chronic bronchitis were missing this gene 66% of the
time and that smokers with severe chronic bronchitis were deficient in
71% of cases. They concluded that factors diminishing GSH function –
in this case a hereditary factor – put individuals at higher risk for
respiratory problems.

Other studies determined that COPD patients were very sensitive to


low GSH levels after even light exercise, demonstrating the precarious
balance of glutathione in these patients and the great importance of
maintaining adequate stores of GSH.

N.C. Hansen and his team at Odense University in Denmark conducted


a double-blind study of the general well-being of patients with mild
chronic bronchitis. They administered oral NAC during the winter
months to these patients, and placebo to a similar group. Of the two
groups, the GSH-enhanced group did much better on a GHQ (general
health questionnaire). Several other research teams have studied the
use of oral NAC as a preventative measure. Although it didn’t
significantly reduce the number of chronic bronchitis attacks, their
severity – measured by symptoms and days off work – was greatly
reduced.

In a large open study of over two thousand patients, K.P. Volkl, B.


Schneider from Hanover Medical School in Germany showed that the
use of NAC led to clear improvements in symptoms and pulmonary
function. The four-week study included patients with acute and
chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma and emphysema. All groups had
similar improvement in their disease.
SMOKING AND GSH
There is no longer any doubt that cigarette smoking is a major risk
factor for chronic bronchitis, emphysema, COPD, cancer and
cardiovascular disease. One of the ways in which cigarette smoke
damages the body is by profoundly raising the extent of oxidative
stress in the lungs.

A single puff of cigarette smoke contains billions of free radicals and


can literally “burn up” antioxidants. But this isn’t the worst of it. A still
greater source of oxidative stress results from the lung inflammation
resulting from smoking. The total oxidative damage caused by smoke
corresponds directly to the degree of lung injury, respiratory
compromise, morbidity and mortality found in individual patients.

Pharmacologists are investing the use of inhaled GSH to prevent the


occurrence or progression of emphysema in smokers. As a GSH
precursor, NAC is receiving equal attention. Double blind studies in
smokers using NAC demonstrate the enhanced ability of their lungs to
clear away thick secretions in their airways.

R.B. Balansky at the Institute of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine in


Italy exposed rats to high levels of cigarette smoke. This led to
decreased body weight, intense pathological damage of the terminal
airways, inflammation of the bronchial and bronchiolar linings, alveolar
damage, emphysema, white blood cell abnormalities and pre-
cancerous lesions. Rats given daily NAC at the same time suffered
significantly less damage, demonstrating the protective role of GSH
against lung damage and the onset of cancer.

Smokers are also more prone to the development of infectious


bronchitis and pneumonia. Chronic bronchitis in smokers results in
increased bacterial colonization. Treatment with NAC has decreased
both the frequency of infectious episodes and the virulence of the
bacteria.

ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS)


ARDS is acute, life-threatening respiratory failure following pulmonary
injury. It leads to profound dyspnea (shortness of breath), pulmonary
edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs) and hypoxemia (oxygen
starvation). This all-too-common medical emergency is caused by a
number of different acute processes that directly or indirectly damage
the lung. They include bacterial or viral pneumonias, inhalation of
stomach contents or other toxins, direct trauma to the chest, sepsis
(overwhelming generalized infection), profound circulatory shock,
drowning and many other medical conditions. Even with appropriate
therapy the survival rate is only about 50%. Long-term complications
include the eventual development of pulmonary fibrosis.

ARDS is a very complicated inflammatory process of which edema is


only one facet. In the past, physicians treated this disorder
aggressively with corticosteroids, because of their well-known anti-
inflammatory properties. Unfortunately, randomized trials have shown
that steroids are relatively ineffective against this disease. A hunt is
on for useful treatments.

For several reasons, ARDS patients experience high levels of oxidative


stress and subsequent depletion of antioxidants and glutathione. One
cause may be the release of free radicals at the injury site by
endotoxins. Endotoxins are produced by certain bacteria, though only
released when the bacteria die. However, most of this oxidative stress
probably comes from inflammation. Some white blood cells
(neutrophils) are very active at sites of inflammation, producing very
large amounts of reactive oxygen species, such as free oxygen
radicals, hydrogen peroxide, ‘hot’ oxygen, and others.

Recognizing the severe oxidant-antioxidant imbalance and GSH


depletion that comes with this condition, many researchers have pt
NAC under the spotlight. G.R. Bernard and his team at Vanderbilt
University tested the usefulness of intravenous NAC for the lungs.
Both in the lab and in clinical trials they found increased oxygen
delivery, improved lung compliance (elasticity) and an improvement in
the condition of pulmonary edema patients. Trials with another GSH
precursor – OTZ (Procysteine) – led to similar results and reduced the
duration of lung injury.

In a larger double-blind study, P.M. Suter’s group at the University of


Geneva used intravenous NAC on intensive care patients. Compared
to a control group, the NAC patients showed significant improvement
in oxygenation and required less time on mechanical ventilators (life
support).

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.

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the causes and conditions of


many types of pulmonary fibrosis. J. Behr and his group of
pulmonologists from the University of Munich studied this phenomenon
both in laboratory cultures and in pulmonary fibrosis patients. Because
pulmonary fibrosis is an inflammatory disorder, their treatment
includes therapy to suppress the immune inflammatory response.
With the help of NAC, patients’ pulmonary function tests improved and
the number of oxidative breakdown products fell. By using aerosolized
NAC, Z. Borok from the NIH (National Institute of Health) revered the
oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in pulmonary fibrosis patients. Both
NAC and aerosol GSH have shown success in this situation. Clearly,
both oral and inhaled NAC can successfully raise pulmonary GSH
levels.

In patients with pulmonary fibrosis, fibroblasts – cells in part


responsible for the fibrous scar tissue – grow excessively in both
number and activity. When tissue cultures were made of these cells, it
was found that the presence of GSH down-regulated their growth. This
implies that GSH may slow the progress of pulmonary fibrosis.

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.

Cystic fibrosis is most often classified as a disorder of the exocrine


glands, and primarily affects the pancreas in fibrocystic pancreatic
disease, the sweat glands, and pulmonary mucus production in
mucoviscidosis. The problem stems from an inherited defect in the
gene responsible for secreting certain fluids from these glands.

The disease often becomes apparent early in life. As babies, cystic


fibrosis patients have extremely frequent digestive difficulties. Their
pancreas do not provide enough digestive juice. This leads to
malabsorption (poor ability to use nutrients) and malnutrition. Their
skin loses large amounts of salt and they may sweat profusely. The
lungs secrete a very thick (viscous) mucus that can obstruct airways,
causing coughing, wheezing, and recurrent lung infections.
Comprehensive and intensive therapy with health workers specialized
in nursing, nutrition, physical therapy ad respiratory therapy is
essential for this problem.

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.

The decrease of GSH in cystic fibrosis is noticeable in the fluid lining of


the lungs (epithelial lining fluid), and also in blood serum, red blood
cells and elsewhere. This points to whole-body depletion as a result of
ongoing oxidative stress.

Cystic fibrosis patients are at even further risk of antioxidant depletion


because of pancreatic involvement leading to digestive difficulties and
poor absorption of essential nutrients. Many researchers are
investigating the use of supplemental antioxidants in this disease,
including Lands’ team investigating Immunocal, the whey-based GSH
precursor.

NAC as long been utilized in an aerosol form to break down mucus


accumulation in cystic fibrosis patients. It can be used in the same
way for asthma, bronchitis, COPD, emphysema, pneumonia and other
situations where thick secretions impair pulmonary function.

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 Testimonial # 82:


July 14, 2003 Oded Rencus, M.D. Riverbend Medical Group
Dear Dr. Rencus, To say the least I was very happy with the report you gave me on
July 11, 2003 concerning my recent bone density test. As I related to you , I visited
with you in your office last June 25, 2002 about not taking Fosamax because of the
side effects it produced. Instead you agreed that I should not take it for that reason. I
proposed instead of Fosamax, I would prefer taking Immunocal ( a special
formulated whey protein isolate ) and Pure Milk Calcuim , 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 it’s positive effects on the
immune system. It is the only non-drug entrée in the PDR, which also tells about it’s
properties and it’s effect on the body. After experiencing “the amazing positive
results of my test” ( your words to me ) within less than a years time , would you
consider prescribing this to your patients that have or may experience side effects
from prescription drugs that you prescribe? My personal feelings 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.. Yours Truly, Mabel Brucknak

Bone Density Testimonial # 83

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
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!

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.

Jim is an Independent Entrepreneur with Immunotec Research Ltd., the developers


of Immunocal. He travels around the U.S. as a spokesperson for the company
conducting health seminars to teach people about a simply wonderful molecule in
each cell of our body, called "glutathione". He helped me to understand what role
glutathione plays in the cells: that it's the "master antioxidant", an immune system
booster, and a detoxifier. He explained that Immunocal is a biologically active,
undenatured whey protein isolate which supplies the body with the "precursors", or
building blocks, for the cells to make more of their own supply of this precious
antioxidant. In the case of someone with cancer, the tumors themselves are very
high in glutathione, which contributes to their rapid growth and explains why they
are often resistant to even chemo and radiation. A very interesting thing happens,
however, when a cancer patient eats Immunocal daily. The healthy cells INCREASE
their supply of glutathione, while the tumor cells become DEPLETED in glutathione!
This phenomenon is called "negative feedback inhibition", and it is extremely useful
for treating cancer. It was clear to me this was exactly what I had been
looking for over the past 7 months -- something non-toxic and natural to build
Brian's immune system and also protect his organs and blood supply while
undergoing the rigors of chemo! The icing on the cake was when I was told that
Immunocal is in The Physician's Desk Reference as well as The Pharmacist's
Redbook, and it also has a method-of-use patent as an "anti-cancer therapeutic
agent" (as well as 5 other method-of-use patents in other applications). And there
is over 20 years of research on Immunocal, along with multitudes of clinical
studies. I wanted Brian on it immediately, and I wanted to take it too, because it's
NOT just for cancer patients. We ALL need to be eating Immunocal -- including
children -- because of the polluted environment we live in. The water we drink, the
food we eat, the air we breathe -- our bodies are rapidly breaking down from all
the toxins and the stresses of life in this system of things. Immunocal is "food for
the immune system", and gives us the help we need. I immediately put Brian on
the recommended dose for cancer patients -- 4 packs of Immunocal daily. Yet I
also wanted to take it, and I wanted us to take some of the other unique products
that Immunotec Research makes. But where was all the money going to come
from? I was, and still am, a single parent, and I needed to be home with my son
monitoring his recovery, yet I had to find a way to support both of us and pay for
all these products. I definitely had "a big-enough WHY" for needing the freedom to
work from home, and I saw that I could be financially rewarded for telling people
about the importance of Immunocal for them and their loved ones. So, in my
typical style, I "dove right in" and started my first home-based business in Dec.'02,
even though I had no office equipment and I had never done network marketing
before. That did not stop me, however, because I knew I would learn the business
as I went along, and I had faith that the office equipment would somehow
materialize ... which it did!

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?

I look forward to an enjoyable future with this wellness company, Immunotec


Research Ltd., and the pleasure of seeing my family and friends flourish. I sincerely
hope you take the time to investigate how Immunocal can help you and all you know
to improve their health as well! Warm Regards, Karen O'Handley

Breast Cancer Testimonial # 85


Quebecer Ivy-Marie is a very active thirty-seven year old breast cancer survivor.
After undergoing her initial surgery, the pathologist's report suggested she undergo a
dozen sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She experienced many side-
effects, including profound weakness and fatigue - a new experience for her. After
ten sessions of therapy and many visits to her doctor to treat side effects, she was
put on 30 gm/day of the whey protein concentrate Immunocal. Her strength and
sense of well being improved within a week and she tolerated her last session of
chemotherapy with few side effects. She is back to her usual routine, and remains
disease-free

Ingrid Cancer Testimonial # 86:


Dear Leroy and Monika, Thank you for your e-mail. I had it on my mind, to write you,
sorry it took me so long. How are you doing?
I am doing fine, health wise and other wise. Since I take the product, I noticed to
have more energy and the "unclean" skinproblems in my face (from taking the
chemotherapy) are disappearing. Beginning of the month I had the Chemo and at
that time the Tumormarker was on 4.2 and when X-ray was taken from my spine,
the could not find any cancerous signs on it. In May I had in my lung a metastasis of
the 4 to 7 cm and 4 others of 2.5 cm in diameter. Beginning of August the bone scan
and the CT showed, that there is only one Metastasis of 1.5 cm and around 10 other
tiny "objects" smaller as 0.5 cm, but it is not possible to find out, if these smaller
"objects" are malignant or not. After the 6. Chemo End of September, the doctor will
have another test. But till then I will take the product and hopefully all readings of
cancer may be of the past!
We are very happy about this news! Thanks to Jehovah, who gave to me the power
beyond what is normal and all the good gifts in men, who helped me on the way of
recovery.
Gaby is taking the product too and we will write you later, which improvement she
will experience. Please tell me, if I should send my orders to you or directly to
Canada? I got only one package of vitamins, I need 5 boxes more. With Christian
love, Ingrid

Mary Levers Breast Cancer Testimonial # 87

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

Terminal Lymphoma Testimonial # 88:

Edith Groom, Victoria, B.C., Canada January, 2004


I would like to share my story of how HMS 90 has saved my life.
In November of 2001, at 83, I lost my husband, Howard, to cancer. In the next few
months I became aware that I was losing weight, although I felt fine. By January,
after successive checks with my doctor, he suggested I go for a few tests. A few
tests included several weeks of ultrasounds, and biopsies of my liver, stomach, and
bone marrow.
By April the results were in. I had cancer (lymphoma). As my doctor put it, this
can be like a raging lion within the body, but chemotherapy is very successful in
knocking it back. By mid–August, after six treatments, I was in pretty bad shape
with terminal lymphoma (Stage IV, rampant/wasting). The last scan still showed
cancerous nodes on my abdomen and chest.
My grand-daughter was a great help to me, as I just didn’t have the energy to do
very much for myself. I had a walker by my bed, but couldn’t even get out of bed to
stand or use the commode.
In early September, Paul Rothe, suggested I try HMS 90. I took three packs per day,
and by November, was feeling much better. I must have been better because I was
able to host the family dinner for Christmas!
In March, when Paul made one of his calls to see how I was doing, I was able to tell
him that I was almost back to my old self. My last scan was complete clear, and I
didn’t have to go for another checkup for three months!
Although I have only regained 20 of the 34 pounds I lost during my illness, I am
doing really well. But, I am still taking two packs of HMS 90 per day to keep the
cancer from coming back. If I hadn’t taken HMS 90, the story would have been a
lot different. Edith

Fausta Magee Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia ( CLL) Testimonial #


89
After many months of feeling fatigued and getting many colds and infections I
was finally diagnosed with CLL. A lot of good that did me as I was told that there is no
cure. It is a progressive leukemia and that if I was fortunate enough to not get ill and
keep my white blood count down there would be a cure within the next 10 years. My
white blood count was increasing with each blood test every month so the cancer
was growing. This is all validated through my doctors by the way! I also grew
lumps on my neck and wore turtle necks and scarves during the summer to hide
them as I did not want to worry my children. In September of 2003 I also developed a
skin disorder on my right arm which I also tried my best to conceal. Living on
antibiotics was not for me but what choice did I have? Every time I got infection my
count would increase so had no choice but to take the drugs. I became very ill in June
of 2004 and had given up. I made my funeral arrangements and put my affairs in
order.
A good friend of mine from Ontario sent me 4 boxes of a Immunocal/HMS-90
in August of 2004...She was very firm that I needed to take 4 packages a day. The
night before I received the package I had prayed to God for a miracle.(My miracle
arrived in the mail via my angel friend in Ontario.) Within a week of taking the
product (3,10 gram packs per day) I had my life back! In six weeks my white blood
count had gone down, and my lumps were getting smaller. It has now been 6 months
of being on the product. I have no lumps, my right arm is looking like my arm again,
my hair has a shine, my finger nails have no ridges and what can I say, I am
delighted. I still have leukemia but who cares as long as I feel and look good. I am
experiencing a nice quality of life and that is all that counts.
My new saying is “ If I am going out , I am going out feeling good! It is gratifying to
have my quality of life back and who knows where it might go from here. As long as I
take this GSH enhancer I feel great! I share the information on Immunocal/HMS-90
with everyone and hope that you do too!

Larry Prostrate Cancer Testimonial # 90


My name is Larry and I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in Dec 2001 with a
Gleason score of 3+3. After 2 consultations with my urologist, I elected to go with the
natural way of healing and managed to keep my PSA under control. In addition to my
many natural supplements, my diet was 90% vegetarian. I continued to loose weight
and lacked energy. I was introduced to Immunocal (HMS90) 5 months ago and have
been on 3 packages a day. To date, I have regained my normal weight, improved
muscle mass, and am full of energy. My recent physical examination with my family
doctor revealed a soft prostrate and normal in size. I also take Magistral twice a day
for preventative purposes. I owe my good feeling and mental attitude to this amazing
product ˜Immunocal˜. My golf game has never been better! My age is 65 going on
40! Larry McArthur Red Deer, Alberta Canada

Franklin Prostate Cancer Testimonial # 91


Franklin was a semi-retired general practitioner who at age 68 scored a PSA reading
of over 8 micrograms/liter on a routine screening exam, suggesting a high possibility
of prostate cancer. In continued tests, a urologist took a cystoscopic biopsy and
confirmed the diagnosis. Four out of Franklin's six biopsy sites tested positive for
high-grade tumor. For personal and practical reasons, Franklin delayed aggressive
treatment and opted to take 30 grams/day of Immunocal, (3 pouches) a protein
isolate that raises glutathione levels. Bimonthly PSA levels showed a gradual decline,
his latest reading being 3.8 u/L. He is still being closely followed by his urologist, and
his decision to undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery will be deferred
unless his PSA levels rise again

Prostate Cancer Testimonial # 92


June 11, 2002 This is Norman’s experience:

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.

Ovarian Cancer Testimonial # 93:

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

Stage Four Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Testimonial # 94

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.

Herb, we are so grateful that we knew about Immunocal's patents as a chemotherapy


agent and it's moderating effects on the side effects of chemotherapy. We called Mr.
Molson at the company to determine doses and got dad started on 6 packs a day
immediately. The oncologist said he was too busy to really study the material about
Immunocal that we took to him, but said that it couldn't hurt. Dad has been through
four or five cycles of treatments over the last few months. He never felt ill or
nauseated at all. The only side effects he experienced were some mouth sores at
various times in the cycles. Even though each cycle made him weaker, his over all
side effects were very minimal and the doctor was extremely pleased with the way
that he was tolerating the treatments.

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

Cancer Throat/Neck Cancer in Stage D Testimonial # 95

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

Sincerely, David Vaught

Sylvia Dad’s Story of Cancer Testimonial # 96

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

René Angelil Testimonial # 97

Hope for Céline Dion

René Angelil [Husband of superstar singer Céline Dion] Takes Immunocal by


Michelle Coude-Lord "Le Journal de Montreal" on Sunday, October 17, 1999 In his
fight against cancer and with the approval of his doctor in Florida, René Angelil has
included Immunocal in his daily menu since last April. There is no commercial
agreement between René Angelil and Immunotec, but the Dion family has close ties
to doctors working in the field of cystic fibrosis, and they are aware of the work of Dr.
Lands. One evening late last March, Thérèse Dion, Céline Dion’s mother, met with the
representatives of Immunotec to discuss cancer treatment. “I don’t believe in
coincidences,” Mrs. Dion told us this week. “It all happened at the time I learned that
René had cancer. I called Céline to tell her about Immunocal. René’s doctor, who had
contacted Dr. Bounous, saw no reason why René couldn’t take this vitamin
supplement.” Dr. Bounous points out that “the discovery that whey proteins slow
carcinogenesis (the process of cancer formation) and tumor growth itself had already
been confirmed by researchers in Australia, the US and Europe. Their tests were
conducted on different species of animals and on different types of tumors. The
proteins encourage the cellular production of glutathione, an important antioxidant
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 small
tumors. “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.” The
Foundation René Angelil has no association with Immunotec, beyond taking the whey
supplement. In this, he is like thousands of other people in the US where Immunocal
is sold. The Achille Tanguay Foundation, which gives assistance to poor and
underprivileged families and which was founded by Thérèse Dion, receives a direct
contribution of $10 on each natural product sold. “We want to eliminate poverty, and
Immunotec wants to prevent sickness,” says Mrs. Dion. “We are happy with this
association simply because we want to help. I would like to make it clear that our
family derives no other benefit.” Hope for Céline Dion An Exciting Medical
Discovery For The Immune System Helps Céline's Husband ...Rene Angelil QUEBEC--
(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 15, 1999-- Celine Dion can now sing forth `my heart will go
on' with new meaning. "Eight months ago her husband René Angelil was diagnosed
with melanoma [of the throat] and that cast a shadow not only over her career, but
over her life. She has subsequently taken a hiatus from touring and recording, to
concentrate on more important matters. Now thanks to some important
breakthrough research out of Montreal, Canada, it was recently reported in Le Journal
de Montreal that Rene has been making good progress. He has made use of an
important innovation discovered by the eminent research scientist Dr. Gustavo
Bounous. The Dion family has close ties to doctors working in the field of cystic
fibrosis, and they are aware of the work of respirologist, Dr. Larry Lands who is one of
the many specialists now pursuing the clinical applications of Dr. Bounous' discovery.
Dr. Lands says, ``In situations of on-going oxidative stress like COPD and cystic
fibrosis, there is an even greater demand for the antioxidant Glutathione (GSH),
compared to normal healthy individuals. Nothing can be more vital for anyone than
breathing, but that can be exhausting for patients with lung disease. The same
oxygen that sustains life, poses metabolic challenges to human cells that need to
mount adequate defense. It appears that increasing GSH is the cells' most effective
response. The delivery of Immunocal(r)
provides the only safe, effective and convenient source of the essential precursors.''
(Please see Dr. Land's published case report of Immunocal® supplementation in a
patient with COPD.) But that's not all. So much that goes wrong with the human body
starts

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."

"I had a brain tumor in 1997, and I have felt tired, depressed and in constant pain
from arthritis in the hands. I was on medication from my doctor for the pain and on
medication to prevent infections. I began taking immunocal and my energy
returned, my pain was reduced to the point that I removed the glove that I had to
wear. I don't know of any new infections that have been dectected, high sugar was
detected, but it is now at a controllable level, my stamina is something to enjoy now

Skin Lesions Testimonial # 102:


The 61 year-old Canadian Charles loved boating. His dream was to retire and spent
most of his time on the water, travelling the coasts. Tall, handsome and fair-skinned,
he was unfortunately prone to sunburn. Despite sunscreens and hats, being on the
water often left him unprotected and his complexion grew ruddy and inflamed. His
physician was worried about the possible development of pre-cancerous sun-induced
lesions on his face. Charles had already started taking Immunocal for a potential
prostate problem. After several weeks he noticed that his tendency to burn was
significantly decreased, despite some "accidental" exposures. In two months his in-
the-sun complexion was no longer so different from his winter complexion

Eczema Testimonial # 103


Hi Herb, Frank is also on Prycena pg 142 #175
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 have no reason to discontinue Immunocal and
everything to gain by continueing taking to it. 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

Eczema & Cataracts & Fibromyalgia Testimonial # 105


I started to take IMMUNOCAL in May, 1997. Since then my cataracts are gone, my
eczema is healed, and I no longer suffer from fibromyalgia. Considering the fact
that I have been taking good vitamins and powerful antioxidants for years, the effect
of immunocal is more than amazing. I was diagnosed with full lens cataracts in both
eyes in February, 1997. In May I began to take Immunocal. In October, I saw my eye
doctor and was told that no longer had cataracts. Furthermore, my vision also
improved. I suffered from eczema for several years, during which neither
conventional nor alternative methods helped. I was given cortisone ointments by
allopathic and herbal preparations by Chinese doctors. The symptoms improved
somewhat but the disease persisted. After about seven months into taking
Immunocal, the eczema cleared up completely. Prior to that I also had to watch what
I ate carefully. For example, shell fish and vegetables of the nightshade family would
cause the eczema to flare up. I now enjoy all of these and other previously restricted
foods freely. I had fibromyalgia starting in 1992. The pain was so intense that both of
my arms were almost immobilized. Again nothing from western or Orinental medicine
helped. I took a product consisting of noni juice from Tahiti . I was 75% healed when I
began to take Immunocal. Within six months I was 95% healed. I was at a plateau for
the next two years. About a year ago, I started to take a product called Juice Plus+.
Now I no longer have any pain. Although I cannot say that any one of these three
products or the combination of them did the total healing, I can say that IMMUNOCAL
certainly made a big contribution to the healing process. The cause of my
fibromyalgia is believed to be a result of the so called Gulf War syndrome. I was in
Kuwait as an oil fire consultant a week after the war. There are other more general
benefits such as not getting colds or flu and reduced allergy sensitivities.

Eczema Testimonial # 106
My precious little 5-month-old James started developing a reddish patch rash
about his little body. His rash then became a dry, itchy skin where he stretched and
scratched. This dry skin now developed to a yellowish, oozing, weeping eczema. I,
mama Maria being concerned rushed him off to the doctor. The doctor prescribed
Cortisone 10 and said to use it once in awhile. The doctor was not too concerned of
James' dark green colored stool. I read the caution on the prescription and it stated
that it was not to be used by infants unless approved by a physician for it was
developed for adults. James condition was becoming increasingly severe so it had to
be applied more than just once in awhile even though I knew it had side effects. I was
asked to come to an Immunocal meeting and was not planning on attending because
of a serious situation. My mother called and told me that have to come to save my
dad from extreme embarrassment for no one had come to the meeting and Sandi
and LaVonne had already arrived. During the meeting, I was asked if I had any
medical concerns. I explained James' condition. Sandi quickly spun around and
excitedly told me of her story on how her son was cured of that same condition with
Immunocal, a natural,and no side effect product. Then I shared how I developed
lumps in my breast when breast-feeding and LaVonne quickly turned and spoke to
me. I signed up as a distributor that night because of my concern for my loved ones
and others who need this product to relieve their suffering. Lets see, a ¼ tsp. per 3
lbs. so 15 lbs., James should get 1 ¼ tsp. of Immunocal in his milk; lets bump that up
to 2 tsp. since his condition is so severe. After a couple of day, James skin was
quickly clearing up. After 4 days, it was gone and the color of his stool was that of a
breast feed infant. James became fussy about taking his Immunocal and now doing
so well it was not forced on him to drink. Two days later, the eczema was back in full
force. To start with, I quickly applied Immunocal's Skin Perfecting Cream externally
and the sores started to fade quickly, while internally 2 tsp. Of Immunocal went into
his milk for long-term maintenance. skin condition and color is beautiful and he is
doing well thanks to Immunocal, and to think if I would have not gone to the
Immunocal meeting that it would have not come to be for my little baby James. Maria

Burns Testimonial #: 107


February 8, 2003
Dear Herb:
One day while cooking, I absent-mindedly reached into the oven to retrieve a pan,
forgetting that the broiler was on. My thumb received a searing burn and, to make
things worse, I then grabbed the handle of the pan and burned my hand. I
immediately applied ice to both areas, cursing my carelessness. Then I remembered
Immunocal Skin Perfecting Cream and immediately applied it generously. Within a
few minutes the burn was soothed and it healed so quickly I couldn't believe it! There
are no scars either. There’s magic in that stuff! It’s been about one week since this
happened and there is no sign at all that I was burned. I did apply the cream several
times that first day but none after that.

Skin Perfecting Cream for Burns Testimonial # 108


"The cord of my curling iron caught on the corner of my vanity while I was curling my
hair jerking it from my hand. In the instant that it took for the curling iron to fall to
the floor, the barrel of it caught the side of my face and also my neck, burning them
severely. Each burn was approximately two inches long and an inch wide. The first
thing I saw was the Immunocal Skin Perfecting Cream and quickly applied it to the
burns. Immediately the excruciating burning sensation subsided. I continued to apply
the cream in the morning and evening. The pain never returned and I have no
scarring whatsoever. I praise God for Immunotec and its fine
products." Sincerely, Bobbie Jo Sims December 28, 2001

Immunotec’s Skin Perfecting Cream: 109

Immunotec’s Skin Perfecting Cream, 10% active ingredient for healing is


Immunocal ! It is a safe and very effective skin cream. Protopic is a topical treatment
for eczema that may cause stinging, burning and an increased risk of skin infections
(according to the Protopic web site). As someone who copes with eczema (a
common inflammatory skin condition accompanied by rashes and itching) the
prospect of adding stinging and burning is not very inviting, to say the least. And you
have to wonder: If a topical treatment stings, burns and infects some patients,
maybe that's a red flag that something is not quite right. Last week the FDA issued a
public health advisory to inform consumers that the use of two topical eczema
creams - Protopic and Elidel - may pose a cancer risk. Both of these products
address eczema by suppressing the immune system. (Talk about a red flag!) The
FDA advisory is based on animal studies that revealed the cancer risk. Human studies
may take more than a decade to confirm or disprove a similar risk among us non-lab
animals. Product packaging for Protopic and Elidel will be required to carry a black
box warning about the potential cancer danger, and consumers will be advised to use
these products on a short-term basis. Meanwhile, before eczema patients apply a
cream that may cause cancer, they might want to try a natural alternative that
doesn't sting, burn, infect or suppress the immune system and that of coarse is our
immunocal cream

Bee Stings Skin Cream testimonial #: 110

Hi Jim, A few things.

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!.

Psoriasis testimonial #: 111

Roland is a 44 year-old energetic and sociable business entrepreneur who suffered


from psoriasis for ten years. Itchy, scaly eruptions often covered his entire body,
and aggressive scratching led to bleeding and scabbing. His dermatologist tried
many different treatments including strong topical corticosteroids and methotrexate
tablets, which he had to discontinue due to side-effects. Ultraviolet light therapy was
suggested, but having the financial means, Roland preferred frequent trips to Mexico
and the Caribbean to sitting in artificial light. Having done significant homework on
his condition, he concluded that the psoriasis was caused by an immune dysfunction.
He started taking 40 grams/day of Immunocal to raise his glutathione levels. Within
two weeks he was free of bleeding and scabs and described his scaling as 75%
improved

Psoriasis Testimonial #112


I have suffered from Psoriasis for nearly 10 years, and when I say suffering I'm not
exaggerating! My dermatologist said that mine was a severe case - I would say that
was an understatement. It was not unusual for my whole body to be covered with
itchy, scaly eruptions (my scalp and legs particularly) bleeding or covered with scabs.
Unfortunately my dermatologist could not do very much to help me. The only thing
that seemed to help me partially and only temporarily was to take a trip to Mexico
every two months - an expensive and disruptive treatment. Who knows what more
serious damage I was inflicting on myself by overdosing on ultra-violet rays! I was
introduced to Immunocal just when I was about to schedule a trip to Mexico. My
dermatologist had explained to me that Psoriasis was a condition which involved the
immune system so I felt that Immunocal offered at least a potential for helping me. I
was not ready for what happened next. After only 4 days of using Immunocal the
improvement was both visible and dramatic - I would say about a 75% improvement
and no more bloody patches and scab.

Thank God for Immunocal and Dr. Bounous! Roman Motyka, Quebec, Canada

Hidradenitis Suppurativa Testimonial # 114


"Dr. Petrosino My Name is Lori, I am a 26 year old female who has a disease called
Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This disease makes you have boils like lumps in your
armpits, groin, buttocks, thighs, and well pretty much any where you have sweat
glands. This disease is very painful and disabling. In Dec/00 I came across Immunocal
on the internet. So to make a long story short I been on Immunocal for 6 months now
and I have not had a one of my blow outs (as we HS sufferers call them) in 2
wonderful mobile months. My area is the armpit, groin and sometimes on the
buttocks, so it was very hard to walk, write, or even to sit down was a challenge. So
in the case of having Hidradenitis Suppurativa this what I call a miracle. I never
thought I would be able to do the things I enjoy again. But because of Immunocal I
can. Thank you so much you have no idea how much this product has helped
me!!!!!!!!"

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.

Cheers, Charlie

Tylenol Overdose:
Linda was a recently unemployed 24 year-old office manager whose common-law
husband had abruptly moved out of their apartment. After drinking two bottles of
wine, she swallowed 30-40 tablets of extra-strength (500mg)
acetaminophen. The next morning, after the effects of the alcohol had worn off, she
showed up at the emergency department of the local hospital. Her stomach was not
pumped because it had been so long since she took the pills. Her acetaminophen
blood level was at 150 micrograms per milliliter (µg/ml) - enough to damage the liver
if left untreated - and her initial liver enzyme profile was already showing mild
abnormalities. A dose of NAC (Nacetyl-cysteine) treatment was given immediately
and continued every four hours for the next three days. Oral charcoal was also used
on the first day. Her liver enzyme abnormalities worsened over the first forty-eight
hours but were finally reversed and returned to normal. Although suffering from
nausea and cramps during her hospital stay, she was glad to be alive. After being
cleared by the psychiatric consultant, she was sent home

Energy & Open Sore Testimonial

"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

Benjamin, a 44 year-old physician, always wished for a 36-hour day so he'd have
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 Testimonial # 123:

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

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.

Infected Tooth Testimonial # 127

"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."

Infected Ear & Nose Testimonial # 128


Dave Herman (LaVonne's son) shared: I've had difficulty hearing things most of my
life, and after several ear infections, it culminated in a very nasty procedure that
involved removing my right ear from my head (I swear I am not making this up!), and
rebuilding all the bones of the inner ear with salvaged cartilage. It did help, but it still
left me with below normal hearing performance in that ear. It has been this way since
High School, and I've grown accustomed to it. The other day, while I was sitting in my
office, reading the patent information on Immunocal (Ok, Ok, I was actually reading
Popular Science!) I heard something really, I could hear my watch ticking. Now, I
understand this means very little to you, but I've never been able to do this. Never in
my entire life had I been able to hear the ticking of my watch while it was in my lap.
Furthermore, I was able to hear the ticking of my watch when I held it up to my right
ear. This was and remains amazing to me. My amateur conclusion: I think I've been
victim of a prolonged inner ear/nasal infection, because I've never really been able to
consistently breath via my nose, I'm in a constant state of nasal congestion. Now this
hasn't yet changed too much, I mean, I feel a general improvement, but I think this is
only the beginning. Because of this, I'm now taking be-tween 2 and 3 packets of
Immunocal a day. Yeah, I guess it could become expensive, but I don't plan on
money being much of an issue in a few months from now anyway! Now of course I've
felt all the other benefits of the Immunocal, I feel better, I don't get sick, and I have a
great deal of energy. I also noticed my skin became much more clear and soft. Even
here in the South, my skin would get dry and flaky in the low humidity of the winter,
but not this year, I have smooth skin, just like I was slathering body lotion every day.
I think the real proof is going to come as Spring gets ready to unload it's usual
assault of pollen on my immune system. Not many people know this, but an allergic
reaction to pollen and other non-threatening things like that are all signs of a
compromised immune system. I've read that Immunocal can have a positive effect
on allergies, and I'm going to be the guinea pig! So far, so good... I was starting to
have itchy eyes the other day, I took a packet of Immunocal, and I swear I am not
making this up, my eyes stopped itching in about three minutes, for the rest of the
day! I'll keep y'all informed! David Herman Atlanta GA. Ed: note: David started
taking Immunocal only 5 months ago at one packet a day. Just recently he upped the
packets and of course takes the Co-Factor multiple/vitamin/mineral supplement with
it

Cyst

Cyst Testimonial #129:

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

Breast Blocked Duct Testimonial # 130

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

Cyst in Breast Testimonial #180

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."

Depleted Immune System Testimonial # 131

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.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Testimonial # 179

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.

Gout Information # 132

Define: Gout is one of the most common forms of arthritis (joint


inflammation). It appears as an acute attack often coming on
overnight. Within 12-24 hours there is severe pain and swelling in
the affected joint. The skin over the joint may be red and shiny.
The GOUT question. There are several reasons a person may be concerned about
consuming a milk protein for this, mainly: (1) Animal fats, including from dairy,
should be avoided, and (2) concern about purine from certain protein sources
(namely meat). Let's give 3 reasons why the Gout sufferer should consider taking
Immunocal: (1) Immunocal is fat-free, (2) whey protein is considered the Cadillac of
proteins, the standard, so it does not cause the purine problem that meat does, and
(3) a key problem of the Gout sufferer is the kidneys' inability to remove uric acid
from the body. Recall that the body's master detoxifier is glutathione, and the only
thing patented (and proven) to boost the glutathione is Immunocal. Remember the
friend with the swollen liver (from agent orange) who reduced it back to normal since
it has helped him detoxify? Got another good story today! A friend who has cirrhosis
had a surgery awhile back to install a shunt, and has diabetes very bad as well.
Finally, I helped her get started on Immunocal about 2 months ago. Today the doctor
was checking out the diabetes and said that her high albumin levels dropped down to
normal. He stated that he has never seen anything happen like that in his life! Now
he made an appointment to have her liver function tested. I'll let you know how it
goes !

Lyme Disease

Lyme Disease Testimonial # 133

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!

Lyme Disease Testimonial # 134

Manuel Alonso has spirochetal post-infection syndrome (lyme disease), and


CFS (chronic fatique syndrome). See what Immunocal/HMS-90 has done for
him. This extraordinary

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.

Dr. Code Testimonials # 135

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

As Residency Program Director at the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Code had a


busy career of clinical work, research and teaching. The Financial Post Fortune 500
Edition profiled him as the quintessential baby boomer when he left his hectic
lifestyle for the quieter surroundings of Vancouver Island in 1992. Dr. Code added
the treatment of chronic pain problems to his clinical anesthesia practice but soon
after, began to notice major problems with foot drop, fatigue and increasing
weakness of his right side. Dr. Code tells a compelling story of his diagnosis with
multiple sclerosis and his personal journey to wellness.
Dr. Code describes the development of a product that is destined to become the #1
nutritional supplement of choice worldwide and why the medical community should
focus on nutritional-based, rather than drug-based interventions.
His recovery, as far as he is concerned, has been impacted by Immunocal, a
nutraceutical, cystine delivery system product, “Immunocal” developed at McGill
University Research Center by Dr. Gustavo Bounous.
Dr. Code, tell us about your life before you were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis?
As Residency Program Director at the University of Saskatchewan, I had a very busy
career of clinical work, research and teaching. The Financial Post’s Fortune 500
Edition profiled me as the quintessential baby boomer when I left my hectic lifestyle
for the quieter surroundings of Vancouver Island in 1992.
What is your medical background?
I completed 13 years of medical training, which included 2 years of research on the
brain. This permitted me to be a specialist in anesthesiology in Canada and the
United States. My major interest within this field was pain management in long-term
illnesses, such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
What is multiple sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune illness that strikes people most commonly in
their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. It is now understood that MS results from some of our own
white blood cells attacking the myelin (fatty) coating of the nerves in the brain and
the spinal cord.
How long have you had multiple sclerosis?
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996. At the time, I was stumbling when
walking and I couldn’t empty a syringe with my right hand because it was so weak.
This, coupled with severe fatigue, necessitated that I leave my practice of
anesthesiology and pain management.
What type of multiple sclerosis do you have?
I have been diagnosed with either primary progressive or secondary progressive
multiple sclerosis by some of the best multiple sclerosis neurologists in North
America.
Why do you use Immunocal/HMS 90?
Immunocal/HMS 90 helps optimize and smooth the function of our immune system.
It also helps by reducing the free radical injury to the myelin coating surrounding the
nerves in the brain and the spinal cord.
How much Immunocal/HMS 90 do you take and how long was it before you noticed a
difference?
I initially took a pack a day for three months and noticed no real difference. I then
spoke with a number of experts who suggested that I take three packs per day (2 at
once and then another later on an empty stomach.) Apparently those of us with MS
usually only have 5% of our optimal glutathione! Within three to four weeks of
increasing the amount of Immunocal/HMS 90 as suggested, I noticed a big
improvement in my energy and my cognitive function.
Does Immunocal/HMS 90 interfere with any of the drugs used in the treatment of
multiple sclerosis or the symptoms of MS?
No, it does not. In fact in many cases, it might reduce the unpleasant side effects of
agents such as interferon.

What has Immunocal/HMS 90 done for you?


I know that Immunocal has greatly enhanced my energy levels and muscle strength.
It has almost eliminated the shooting electrical pains that are quite common among
up to 70% of people with multiple sclerosis. Certainly the extra stamina has helped
me regain my balance and position awareness (proprioception.)
Certainly Immunocal/HMS 90 has been the largest piece of the puzzle in my recovery
process.
I recommend this product to all the people who want to stay healthy, to those folks
facing health challenges and to my medical colleagues. If medical professionals will
just take the time to research this product they will look at it differently than most
alternative health products. Dr. Bill Code, MD, FRCPC

GLUTATHIONE (GSH) DEFICIENCY AND THE PATHOGENESIS OF


MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Recent findings in tissue from multiple sclerosis victims corroborate the


mechanisms documented in a growing body of research based evidence as to the
steps leading to disease expression. “Observed depletion of GSH, elevation of
ceramide level and apoptosis in banked human brains from patients with
neuroinflammatory diseases (e.g. x-adrenoleukodystrophy and multiple sclerosis)
suggest that the intracellular level of GSH may play a crucial role in the regulation of
cytokine-induced generation of ceramide leading to apoptosis of brain cells in these
diseases.”1

Cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-˜) or interleukin-1 beta (IL-1˜)-


mediated activation of sphingomyelinases (SMases), leads to degradation of
sphingomyelin to ceramide, a sphingolipid 1,2, and the universal lipid second
messenger. This potentiated a 2-fold increase in H2O2 generation, leading to lipid
peroxidation and loss of activity of respiratory chain complex IV in the GSH depleted
state compared to GSH-replete mitochondria 3. “Mitochondria are a target of
ceramide produced in the signaling of TNF.3” Pretreatment of cells so as to increase
intracellular GSH inhibited the TNF-˜-induced sphingomyelin hydrolysis and ceramide
generation as well as cell death 4.

The literature implicates excessive or inappropriate generation of nitric oxide


(NO) in Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 5. “Human astrocytes released abundant NO upon
stimulation with the pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL)-1˜, which was potentiated by
interferon (IFN)-gamma and TNF-˜. IL-1 receptor antagonist protein markedly
attenuated astrocyte NO production.6” “It is now well documented that NO and its
toxic metabolite, peroxynitrite (ONOO-–) can inhibit components of the mitochondrial
respiratory chain...5” “...neurones, in contrast to astrocytes, appear particularly
vulnerable to the action of these molecules.5” “...the susceptibility of different brain
cells to NO and ONOO– exposure may be dependent on factors such as the
intracellular GSH concentration...5” “Evidence is now available to support this
scenario for neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis.5”

Variable vulnerability to oxidative stress has been well documented in various


neurological cell types. “Astrocytes maintain high intracellular concentrations of
certain antioxidants, making these cells resistant to oxidative stress relative to
oligodendrocytes and neurons.7” In fact, astrocytes appear to play a central role in
the antioxidant defense of the brain.7 One of the major antioxidants used by
astrocytes is GSH and, “...astroglial cells prefer cystine from [instead of] cysteine for
GSH synthesis...8”

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.”

Nitric oxide synthase is present in the cerebrospinal fluid of


patients with active multiple sclerosis and is associated with
increases in cerebrospinal fluid protein nitrotyrosine and S-
nitrosothiols and with changes in glutathione levels. Calabrese
V, Scapagnini G, Ravagna A, Bella R, Foresti R, Bates TE,
Giuffrida Stella AM, Pennisi G. Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology Section, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine,
University of Catania, Catania, Italy. Nitric oxide (NO) is
hypothesized to play a role in the immunopathogenesis of
multiple sclerosis (MS). Increased levels of NO metabolites have
been found in patients with MS. Peroxynitrite, generated by the
reaction of NO with superoxide at sites of inflammation, is a
strong oxidant capable of damaging tissues and cells.
Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is up-regulated in the CNS of
animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) and
in patients with MS. In this study, Western blots of cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) from patients with MS demonstrated the presence of
iNOS, which was absent in CSF from control subjects. There was
also NOS activity present in both MS and control CSF. Total NOS
activity was increased (by 24%) in the CSF from MS patients
compared with matched controls. The addition of 0.1 mM ITU (a
specific iNOS inhibitor) to the samples did not change the activity
of the control samples but decreased the NOS activity in the MS
samples to almost control levels. The addition of 1 mM L-NMMA
(a nonisoform specific NOS inhibitor), completely inhibited NOS
activity in CSF from control and MS subjects. Nitrotyrosine
immunostaining of CSF proteins was detectable in controls but
was greatly increased in MS samples. There were also significant
increases in CSF nitrate + nitrite and oxidant-enhanced
luminescence in MS samples compared with controls.
Additionally, a significant decrease in reduced glutathione and
significant increases in oxidized glutathione and S-nitrosothiols
were found in MS samples compared with controls. Parallel
changes in NO metabolites were observed in the plasma of MS
patients, compared with controls, and accompanied a significant
increase of reduced glutathione. These data strongly support a
role for nitrosative stress in the pathogenesis of MS and indicate
that therapeutic strategies focussed on decreasing production of
NO by iNOS and/or scavenging peroxynitrite may be useful in
alleviating the neurological impairments that occur during MS
relapse. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. Publication Types: C

Neurodegenerative Diseases – Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s


By Patricia

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are neurodegenerative diseases in which cell damage


and degeneration is seen in certain specific areas of the brain. In Parkinson’s disease
nerve cells slowly degenerate in the part of the mid-brain (the substantia nigra layer
of the basal ganglia) that controls movement, resulting in progressive loss of
muscular coordination and balance. In Alzheimer’s disease brain cells degenerate,
brain mass shrinks and characteristic neurofibrillary tangles and neural plaques are
seen post mortem. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial damage
plays a key role in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and some other neurodegenerative
diseases (1-5). This, in turn, increases the generation of reactive oxygen species and
the onset of oxidative stress, leading to oxidative damage and programmed cell
death. At the same time, glutathione homeostasis is disturbed (6-9). In one study,
glutathione levels were reduced by 40% in the substantia nigra in early stage
Parkinson’s disease (7). These levels fall even much further in later stages, the
magnitude of reduction in glutathione seeming to parallel the severity of the disease
(9). The lowered glutathione values and increased oxidative stress are thought to be
responsible for the loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra in
Parkinson’s disease patients (7, 8). The use of antioxidants, particularly glutathione,
for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is an obvious consideration (6-9). In
an in vitro study, glutathione was shown to protect human neural cells from
apoptosis i.e. cell death, induced by dopamine (8). Sechi et al. showed that
intravenous injection of glutathione was effective in reducing symptoms (42% decline
in disability) in early Parkinson’s disease patients and possibly retarded the
progression of the disease (9). Other treatment options to increase brain
concentrations of glutathione are better choices for long-term treatment. Banaclocha
has reviewed the putative usefulness of N-acetyl cysteine for this purpose in the
treatment of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other age-associated neurodegenerative
diseases (1). Immunocal is an even better choice than this drug, being entirely non-
toxic and proven to raise intracellular glutathione (10).

Professor Wulf Droge is now Medical Director of Immunotec Research in

The human immune system is extremely dependent on adequate glutathione


levels to perform properly, in the words of Wulf Droge et. al. : "Thiols And The
Immune System: Effect of N-Acetyl cysteine on T Cell System in Human
Subjects"; Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 251; 255-270,1995):

"Even a partial depletion of the intracellular glutathione pool has a dramatic


consequence for the process of blast transformation and proliferation, and for
the generation of cytotoxic T cells." ( T –cells are those cells which help the
body defend against diseases.)

Abstract: - Cysteine and glutathione in catabolic conditions and


immunological dysfunction. Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic
Care. 2(3):227-233, May 1999. Droge, Wulf

The conspicuous increase in the plasma cysteine disulphide/thiol ratio in


elderly persons and cancer patients indicates a shift of the plasma redox
state.

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.

"Almost everyone I put on Immunocal tells me that they feel better as soon as they
start taking the product. This is explained by the fact that Immunocal brings to all the
cells in our body, the building blocks necessary to produce glutathione, a small
protein that each cell needs to function properly. In severe asthmatics taking
Immunocal, the attacks become less frequent and less severe. The need for
medication is decreased, they sleep better, they don't miss work or school as often,
resulting in a better quality of life."

Impaired activity of phagocytic cells in Candida albicans


infection after exposure to chronic varied stress. Rodriguez-
Galan MC, Correa SG, Cejas H, Sotomayor CE. Inmunologia,
Departamento de Bioquimica Clinica, Facultad de Ciencias Quimicas,
Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina. OBJECTIVE: Candidiasis is a
prototypic opportunistic fungal disease that may follow severe modulations of
the immune system of the host. The purpose of this study was to evaluate
which innate immune mechanisms involved in the protection against fungal
invasion are impaired under stress conditions. METHODS: Wistar rats were
infected intraperitoneally with Candida albicans and immediately exposed to
chronic varied stress (CVS) over 10 days (CVS; Ca-S); the fungal burden
(CFU), histopathological lesion and ACTH levels were evaluated. Additionally,
functional assessment of peritoneal cells (PC) included the phagocytic and
anticandidacidal activities and the production of H(2)O(2) and NO. RESULTS:
In the only infected animals (Ca), C. albicans colonization stimulated an
efficient inflammatory response, while in Ca-S rats poor tissue reactions were
associated with increased CFU in livers and kidneys (p < 0.05, Ca vs. Ca-S).
Whereas the phagocytic process was not modified, the candidacidal activity
of PC was significantly decreased after the application of CVS (p < 0.001, Ca
vs. Ca-S). The H(2)O(2) production by macrophages and neutrophils
was downregulated by the infection, and while at early intervals
these cells possessed a residual oxidative capacity, by day 10, the
production of this metabolite was blocked. Spontaneous NO
production by macrophages was significantly increased in both Ca
and Ca-S animals (p < 0.001), but in stressed rats, this reactive
nitrogen intermediate was noticeably downregulated (p < 0.05, Ca
vs. Ca-S). The hyperactivity of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis
after exposure to stress was confirmed by an increase in baseline
plasma ACTH levels. CONCLUSION: These results show that during
infection with C. albicans, the exposure to CVS contributes to the
spread of the fungus and downregulates critical functions of
phagocytic cells involved in the control of this opportunistic
pathogen. Copyright 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel PMID: 11847481

Estrogens with an intact phenolic group prevent death of neuronal cells


following glutathione depletion. Behl C , Lezoualc'h F . Max-Planck-Institute of
Psychiatry, Clinical Institute, Munich, Germany. chris@mpipsykl.mpg.de Oxidative
stress-induced neurodegeneration has been implicated in a variety of
neuropsychiatric disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore,
neuroprotection is of central interest in basic and preclinical neuroscience. Recently,
we reported that the AD-associated amyliod beta protein can induce neuronal cell
death via the generation of free radicals, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. The
depletion of the intracellular pool of glutathione (GSH), an important intracellular
oxidant, can also induce oxidative events. Various lipophilic antioxidants, including
the female sex hormone estrogen, can protect neurons against oxidative cell death.
Here, we report that estrogens prevent oxidative cell death induced by GSH depletion
in murine clonal hippocampal HT22 cells and in cells of the sympathetic precursor-
like cell line PC12. Estrogens act as free radical scavengers and inhibit the
intracellular accumulation of peroxides caused by GSH depletion and, ultimately,
prevent neuronal cell death. This protective activity is independent of the presence
or activation of estrogen receptors but is dependent on the presence of an intact
hydroxyl group in the steroid ring A of the estrogen molecule. The modification or the
absence of this group led to a loss of the neuroprotective activity. These data further
support the important role of antioxidants in neuroprotection and may help in the
design of novel antioxidant drugs. PMID: 12671307 [PubMed]

Information

No plastics in micro. No water bottles in freezer.


No plastic wrap in micro.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters worth noting... This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Dioxin
Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water
bottles with water as this also releases dioxins in the plastic. Dr. Edward Fujimoto
from Castle hospital was on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He is the
manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.)
He was talking about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not
be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods
that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics re leases
dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Dioxins are
carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies. Instead, he recommends using
glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same
results, without the dioxins. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups,
etc.,should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't
bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass,
Corning Ware, etc. He said we might remember when some of the fast food
restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is
one of the reasons. To add to this, Saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked,
with the high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use paper towels

“I prayed to God for a miracle.”


“How happy I was to have a second chance at
life!”
For many months, l had felt unnaturally fatigued and kept getting colds
and infections. Then my doctor diagnosed me with Chronic
Lymphocyte Leukemia (CLL). I was told there is no cure. My doctor
tried to lift my spirits by saying that someone would probably come-up
with a cure within the next ten years. But since it is a progressive
leukemia, I knew I needed to keep the number of white blood cells
down if I wanted to last that long. Unfortunately, my white blood cell
count kept increasing with each blood test every month, letting us
know the cancer was growing. Lumps formed on my neck, forcing me
to wear turtleneck sweaters and scarves to hide them even during the
summer, because I didn't want to worry my children. I also tried my
best to conceal the skin disorder developing on my right arm. I hated
living on antibiotics, but what choice did I have? Every time I got an
infection, my white blood cell count would take a jump. By June of
2004, I was very ill and had about given up. I made my funeral
arrangements and put my affairs in order. I prayed to God for a
miracle. The next day, a good friend of mine from Toronto sent me
some glutathione (GSH) enhancer, firmly insisting that I take some
every day. Within a week, I experienced a complete turnaround in my
condition! How happy I was to have a second chance at life! In
six weeks, my white blood count had gone down and the lumps on my
neck were shrinking. After six months, I had no lumps, the skin
disorder on my arm cleared up, my hair began to shine, and my
fingernails lost their ridges. What can I say? I was absolutely
delighted! I still have leukemia but I don't worry so much, as long as I
feel and look good. I am enjoying a high quality of life and that's all
that counts. My new saying is "If I'm going out, I'm going out feeling
good!" As long as I keep my glutathione levels up, I feel great!

A Distributor’s Many Stories


"
Roy and I were visiting friends in Denver the first of May when they were
having a special meeting in their home. It was about something called
Immunocal, and it caused the body to produce Glutathione... The video we
saw that night was filled with many wonderful testimonies of patients, their
family members, and their doctors who had seen amazing results after just a
few weeks or months on Immunocal, depending on the severity of their
illness and their current physical condition.
One man who had been taken off Chemotherapy after developing heart
toxicity from the chemotherapy treatments [for his Prostate
Cancer] had a PSA reading of 208 (that is through the roof!). Roy's
PSA was 70 when he had cancer. After one month of taking
Immunocal, his PSA reading dropped to 28! The following month it
dropped to 11! He then went on vacation like he had done before he
was ill. Immunocal turned his situation around and gave him his life
back! Another lady's story that really interested me was one who had
severe diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. After two months on
Immunocal there were major improvements. At the time the video was
filmed she'd been taking it for one year.
As she shared her wonderful testimony along with her sister and her
doctor, it gave me hope for my mom. My mother suffers from
Alzheimer's Disease as well as Parkinson's Disease. After learning
about Immunocal and hearing the testimony above, we started my
mom on it. We are seeing real changes in my mother. She has gone
from hardly eating to eating 100% of two full meals a day and a good
portion of her third meal. She is talking plainer and knows us now and
understands what she is talking about. Before she didn't recognize us
most of the time. She's awake much more during the day and resting
very peacefully at night. No more night terrors. Just the past few days
she is sitting up in her bed by herself without even using the bed rails.
We are witnessing her getting stronger with each day that passes. One
other wonderful change is the diminishing effect of the sharking that
goes with Parkinson's Disease.

I am experiencing many great improvements in my own health from


allergies and a sciatic nerve in my right leg. I have also suffered
from a neck problem a specialist told me only surgery would help. the
pain was totally gone after I had taken Immunocal for ten days. I have
also had a problem with fibroid breast lumps in my right breast.
Those are gone! We are hearing many exciting reports from people
among our own family and friends we have introduced Immunocal to.
It's helping those with fibromalgia, emphysema, various cancers
(especially prostate cancer), colitis, arthritis, and many others too
numerous to mention. Here are a few:
My sister, Bernice Arnold, was walking with a cane the middle of May
because her doctor told her she needed a knee replacement and
that it was bone to bone. She is now walking without the came and
more importantly, without pain. She also had lots of pain in her lower
back which is gone now. She has more energy and a sense of well
being.
My brother, Charles Fairchild, has emphysema. He is breathing much
better and it has cleared up a prostate problem he had and is
helping his colon problem. He said he feels so much better. His wife,
Shirley, has arthritis. The pain in her legs has diminished greatly in
just a few short weeks. She is also experiencing a great improvement
in varicose veins in her legs and has seen a big improvement in her
skin condition. Their daughter, Marsha, who has suffered with
psoriasis for several years is experiencing healing with Immunocal as
her skin is clearing up.
My father-in-law, Floyd, has severe lung problems including emphysema.
His breathing has improved greatly. He is 89 years old. Roy's brother
John said Paw Paw spent most of the afternoon mowing his lawn and
working in the yard. He goes back to the doctor next week. I can't wait
to hear what he says.
My friend, Trish, who is a seamstress by trade and was going to quit
because of arthritis in her hand, used to have to pry her fingers open
in the mornings and work her hand before she began sewing. She has
seen a world of difference since she began using Immunocal. She said,
"I woke up one morning after taking the product about 2 1/2 weeks
and just opened her hand and most of all the swelling was gone." She
was so amazed and happy. Many people are taking it who have
cancer, kidney problems, and all sorts of major disorders. I'll keep you
informed on their progress. Since I was only introduced to this in May, I
continue to share this wonderful product with people, and we're just
beginning to learn what it can do for others. But, one thing I do know is
that it's important to have a strong immune system to keep us healthy
with all the things that assault us daily. It is a joy to share the hope
with others that their lives can improve. I believe this is a blessing from
God, so I'm going to keep sharing the good news!!!!

Betty Lyons Testimonial # 02

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!

MARYROSE REGAN IMMUNOTEC STORY Testimonial # 03

I first began taking Immunocal/HMS 90 in May of 2003 at the advice of my alternative


practitioner, Juergen Maimann. I had been under Juergen’s care since January of
2003 to overcome a severe lung and throat infection that kept recurring.
Within three weeks of taking the product Juergen invited me for a hike at Elbow
Valley Falls. A couple of hours turned into a six-hour hike in pouring rain. I was
certain that I would be sick the next day or at the very least very sore as I was not
used to a lot of physical activity. I came home took a hot bath in Epsom salts and
took an HMS 90 drink and went to bed without supper. The next morning I was in the
shower and realized I did not feel sore I thought that the soreness would come later
in the day or possibly the next day. I went all week with no soreness and no
repercussions from the hiking trip.
Since I have been on HMS 90 I have been sick only once and that was only for a day
or so, previously most colds or flu would have me down for a week.
In September of 2004 Juergen and I went to the Immunotec BBQ in Montreal. We
traveled by plane from Calgary to Toronto, then by van to Montreal. We spent four
days and three nights in Montreal and returned to spend our last night in Toronto at
Juergen’s son’s place. We were very tired from our excursions and thus got ready for
bed immediately. Within twenty minutes of getting into bed I was wheezing so hard
that I could not breathe (could hear my breath whistling) and was paralyzed with the
fear that I would not wake up again if I went to sleep. Juergen prepared me an HMS
90 drink of two pouches or 20 grams in water and had me drink it immediately,
within twenty minutes of finishing the drink I slept peacefully and deeply awaking
very refreshed the next morning. I did not realize until later that Robert’s landlord
had cats and that the cats had free rein of the house while the bachelors were at
work all day. I had experience allergic reactions to cats before but not since I had
been on HMS 90. This experience taught me that I am still allergic to cats but HMS
90 keeps the symptoms in check as long as my body is not stressed or exhausted.
Thank you Juergen for introducing me to a product that lets me live symptom free.

Welly & Nancy Testimonial # 04

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 Testimonial # 05

Why am I involved with the Immmunotec Research Ltd. Opportunity!


First of all their products are greatly improving my Health .About 5 months ago in
June, I had my medical and found my Prostate had been enlarged { requiring surgery
} and Cancer had set in. To keep the cancer in control I decided to do it with proper
food and natural products. Then a month later in July, Francene Drubick called me. I
had talked to her at one time to do joint business advertising, She asked me how I
was doing and told her the state of my Health. She responded That “ I’ve got the
products to treat your Cancer and take care of your Prostate “ Well I said I wished
she had called me a month ago. She continued, the company she was with marketed
all natural products and for the Prostate they had a natural liquid product that would
take care of my Prostate and for my Cancer, the company, Immunotec Research Ltd.
had a product to CURE and treat Cancer, which was developed at McGill University ,a
prestigious Canadian University Medical Centre.This product is world class,it is
patented in 7 North American and numerous international countries, it is published in
23 Clinical studies and listed in the presitigious US Physicians’ Desk Reference
THAT’S NOT ALL !!!!!!
She also impressed me that the Cancer product called “Protein Whey Powder” would
not only take care of my Cancer but would also improve my IMMUNE SYSTEM to
optimal level. Dr. Bounous in his research and experiments also found that if you
would improve your Immune System to optimal level you in turn would PREVENT and
CURE the so called AGING DISEASES as Cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s,
arteriosclerosis, retarding the process of plague formation in the arteries, protect
against the complications of diabetes and detoxifies pollutants we breath, eat and
drink. So you can see how elevating the IMMUNE level plays a critical role in….
DISEASE RESISTANCE and GENERAL GOOD HEALTH !!!!
My next concern was the founders of Immunotec Research Ltd. This is a story in itself
!!!!
Dr, Gustavo Bounous M.D. Director of Research and Development. Career
Investigator of the Medical Research Councel and recipient of the 1965 medal
of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, Dr.G. Bounous is
the Discoverer of undenatured Protein Whey Powder called HMS 90 in Canada
and Immunocal in the United States.
Mr. Chuck Roberts: President of the board. His experience is in` Network
Marketing and over 30 years of traditional Business experience. His
Grandfather established Kraft Foods.
Dieter Beer: Co-founder. A German industrialist with wide- ranging holdings. He
provided the financial resources necessary for HMS 90 and Immunocal
production and patenting, and to the Clinical trials confirming its health-
promoting properties
Mr. John Molson: Vice President. His key role is in the co-ordination of studies and
product research.Had corporate banking experience and had a background of
sales and marketing with Molson’s Brewery the family business

So the founders bring a wealth of experience to Immunotec Research Ltd. I have


already experienced results in using the products. I’d like to end my story with a
quotation from
Dr, Barushal who is now the head of immunological Research at a Toronto
hospital and Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto .”This
product is capable of changing the way that Medicine is practised
around the world.

Anne Hula Testimonial # 06

I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in October 31, 2003.

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.

Needless to say I am now promoting these products. The product is an (AIDE)


Antioxidant, builds the Immune System, a Detoxifier and an Energizer. It helps
the chemo work better and makes the side effects less problematic. Everyone needs
to build their immune systems and then the body can look after any disease or health
problem that comes our way.

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

Jim Hawley Testimonials # 07

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.

2. Mercedes Napoles is a friend who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. She has been
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.

I hope this is helpful to you, Corallee Morgan

Dr. Manuel’s comments:


- what links all these beneficial results together is that glutathione [GSH]
levels are so low, in many diseases, as a result of the oxidative stress from the
disease state itself. Most people do not get enough of a particular amino acid to
replace the low levels of intracellular GSH. Immunocal provides this essential amino
acid. Glutathione is the master antioxidant which is naturally present in all our cells
and when it is lacking other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E are rapidly
depleted because they can no longer be recycled because of the low levels of GSH.

- 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

JUERGEN MAIMANN’S IMMUNOTEC STORY Testimonial # 08

I was introduced to HMS 90/Immunocal by my good friend, Doug LeClaire one


evening as I was visiting in the Fall of 2000 as he gave me a drink to help me with my
cold. I went home and had a very restful sleep and awoke the next morning totally
symptom free.
I called Doug the next morning to ask, “what was in the drink” that he gave me the
night before. He told me it was HMS 90. I asked, “What is HMS 90?”
Doug said, “it was the precursor to glutathione.”
I asked, “What is glutathione?”
He said, “Glutathione is the body’s master anti-oxidant, immune booster and
detoxifier.”
I asked, “How do I get it?”
He said, “come on over, I will have the paperwork ready.”
As I am a trained as a Clinical Irridologist I recognized immediately that HMS 90
would benefit my clients and me thus I immediately signed up as a 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!

Sheri Cramer Testimonial # 010

Personal Testimonial August 4, 2005

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.

My husband jokes, if your foot grows back then it will be a miracle!

Doug Leclair Testimonial # 011

Engineer and Hair Stylist TURNED SUCCESSFUL DISTRIBUTORS! Oakville,


Ontario Couple is Helping People Get Healthy and Financially Free:
It’s 6:20 a.m. and Doug Leclair is up out of bed and ready to start the day.
Unlike the others who are lined up on the busy streets, fighting the morning
rush to get into the office, Doug makes his way into his den, starts up a warm
glow in the fireplace and curls up on a comfortable lounge chair with a good
book and his cats by his side.

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.

Luv to you and Tom

Keith Hampton Gives Back! Testimonial # 014


Keith Hampton of Calgary, Alberta joined Immunotec in January 2005 after attending
one of Dr. Bill Code’s seminars. He swore that he would never join a Network
Marketing organization, but after being convinced by Dr. Code’s presentation, not
only did Keith sign up as a distributor, he achieved the Gold title! According to Keith,
“it just made sense … both logically and scientifically”. Keith shares the products
and opportunity with as many people as possible. He claims he “is not in it for the
money”, although he’s not doing too badly; in less than a year Keith has managed to
recruit 28 distributors and 89 customers. The combination of Keith’s appetite for
knowledge and the wonderful people in his upline drive him to continue, and as he
says, “it is my way of giving back to society”.

Good job Keith!

"I'm a single mom from Ontario who taught school for 15 years until my youngest
daughter contracted leukemia at the age of two and underwent intensive
chemotherapy for the next 3 yrs. She has been disease free for 8 yrs now. She will
take Immunocal forever to keep her IMMUNE SYSTEM working at an OPTIMAL LEVEL.
And it has been. Whatever the going bug during the school year, she won't catch it !!
My other daughter used to suffer from life threatening asthma attacks. Hospital
admissions, steroids,specialists etc. etc. She turned 16 last Friday and is passionate
about sports. She's been on Immunocal for a year now . Not one attack, no steroids,
not even a steroid inhaler. It's been simlply miraculous! She takes Immunocal for the
clinically proven and documented substancial effects of increasing athletic
performance... At 16 , that is what motivates her infinitely more than an optimally
functioning immune system. Her asthma has all but DISAPPEARED... My elderly 91yr
old mother has been on 2 packets of Immunocal for 2 yrs now. Her debilitating
arthritis pain has disappeared entirely! She also suffers from ARID (Age Related
Macular Degeneration) which is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Her
condition has not only NOT PROGRESSED in the last 2 &1/2 yrs, she can actually see
better. And even though she is declared as "legally blind", she still lives alone and
manages very well. As for myself, even though in excellent health,I take from 2 to 4
packets of Immunocal daily, and I have not even suffered from so much as a cold in
the last 2 yrs. I do have a history of MIGRAINES, however, and still suffer from them
on occasion. What is exciting is, that now they will dissipate with just 'Anacin', while
before I would be out of comission for that day."

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.

Testimony of Herb Johnsen # 151

Welcome

I have a tremendous passion for Immunocal and Immunotec Research Ltd.,


and here are my reasons:

1) Immunocal is real, without any duplication out there.

2) Immunotec is a Research Company and comes out only with quality


products. (XtraSharp, Immunocal toothpaste & Prycena are new in the past
year or so.)

3) Immunocal, with thousands of documented clinical and scientific studies to


back up what is said, cannot be denied by anyone.

4) 11 method-of-use patents -- the same kind of patents given to drugs and


listed in the PDR manual and Pharmacist’s Red Book -- the only natural
product in the drug section of the manuals. Also, there are an additional 26
method-of-use patents in other countries around the world.

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.

6) In 4 years GLUTATHIONE will be as well known as Vitamin C. The only


Company that has a product that will increase the production of
GLUTATHIONE in all of our cells is Immunotec Research. When this fact
becomes well known, every one who is involved will see their sales skyrocket.
If you understand how millions were made on Penicillin, then you ought to
figure out what will happen here.

7) Everyone needs this product, especially in the environment we live in


today. Our bodies are constantly being attacked daily with new viruses and
many old viruses. Our own body’s natural defense against these viruses is a
strong immune system. No one can deny what I have just said, and we do not
have to argue with anyone about this, for it is a fact.

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.

Disclaimer: Immunocal in NO WAY Heals or Cures any Sickness or Disease in your


Body. Immunocal only begins the process of getting your cells to produce more
Glutathione through precursors that are in Immunocal. This in turn strengthens the
Immune System. Very Sincerely Herb Johnsen

Testimony of Pamela Cook # 152

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.

Testimony of Rosalie O’Hara # 153

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.

After several months of pain progressing to severe pain, a lot of different


medications, winding up with Tylenol three /Codeine, then Percocets, eight per day,
the surgeon wanted me to try a nine-day regimen of Prednesone. I vehemently
protested, “no steroids”. My original surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery –
Cornell – also said I should try it to see if the inflammation would subside. After two
weeks, I had the prescription filled. It was a complete waste of time and only added
to the poisons already in my body.
Three days after I finished the Prednesone, I woke up with one swollen leg that was
twice the size of the other. I was immediately hospitalized with a blood clot in the
back of my right knee on March 28, 2000 and have been on Coumadin ever since.

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.

A NEW LIFE – MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

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.

Am I passionate about IMMUNOCAL? You bet I am!

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

Testimony of Nancy # 154:

Dear Family and Friends,

Nancy saw her urologist yesterday. What has happened needs some perspective.
Some of this you may have heard before in a different context.

FROM THE EDGE OF DEATH

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.

?God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.?


Around July 12, Nancy began to take as a last resort a whey protein that would
provide the ingredients for her cells to begin producing and raising the levels of
Glutathione. On August 30 Nancy again returned for her weekly exam. This time her
urologist said there was no sign of any bacteria in her pelvic area. However, Beta
strep and e-coli were still showing up in her urine cultures and she had to come back
in a week -- but to also continue taking the protein she was taking.
Yesterday -- September 6, 2002 -- her urologist told her that there was no Beta strep
or e-coli showing up in her pelvic area or in her urine cultures and to come back in
THREE WEEKS. All glory to God for this significant change. He still answers prayer.
I believe that what Vancomycin and Gentamicin couldn?t do, the increased
Glutathione levels in all of her cells did thanks to Dr. Bounous and the whey protein --
Immunocal -- that provided the ingredients to the cells so they could produce and
raise the levels of Glutathione. Aging, fighting diseases, and stress cause the
Glutathione in your cells to become depleted. HOWEVER, this whey protein delivers
the ingredients to the cells for them to replenish the Glutathione and even increase
the levels in the cells.
I must repeat what the research doctors are saying because it has implications for
everyone:
?1. Oxygen is a fuel. All fuels when they are used emit a pollutant. The pollutant that
oxygen emits is called a free radical. Researchers say that these free radicals are
responsible for between 300 to 400 disease processes. They are so important that a
whole new science has emerged -- Free Radical Biology.
Researchers have learned that Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and will destroy
these dangerous free radicals which can cause cell damage and can disrupt the DNA
in the cells which will cause the cells to mutate. This mutation can lead to cancer.
The presence of Glutathione is also necessary for other antioxidants like Vitamins C &
E to work.
2. Because aging, fighting diseases, and stress depletes the Glutathione supply in the
cells, it diminishes the capability of white cells to fight disease. Research doctors
have discovered that Glutathione is the food or fuel that the white cells need in order

Testimony of Jim Spencer has unique reason to appreciate
Immunocal # 155

Immunotec Brings Family Harmony to the Sunshine State

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.

And then the flu hit the Spencer home.

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

Testimony of Brenda Noble # 156

Personal Testimony by Brenda Noble From June 18th to September


1st 2002

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.

One Specialist diagnosed me with Polymyalgia and suggested I go on the steroid


Prednisone. Another specialist said I had a nerve that was pinched in my neck and
also suggested Prednisone. Due to having Pharmaceutical experience for 14 years, I
knew the terrible side effects of Prednisone and so I refused both Doctors. One of the
Doctors went so far as to tell me that if I did not take it I would die. However, I was
determined not to and hoped that I would some day find a natural cure for my
problem.

In February of 2001 a Chinese Naturopath Doctor informed me that I had poor


circulation of my blood which in turn was weakening my kidneys. He insisted he could
cure me, so I started treatment that day with Acupuncture and began to boil and take
the herbs he prescribed twice a day.

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.

When the product arrived in 2 days I started to take it 3 times a day.


By the third day I was amazed that I was able to get out of bed and walk
again WITHOUT PAIN. The inflammation was starting to go away.
By the 5th day I was able to drive 3 hours to my family reunion.
By the 7th day I was able to travel to my Niece's Graduation.
By the 9th day I had begun to feel a more stable energy level. I was smiling
again!
After ten days I was able to go down the stairs without holding onto the
railing. I no longer had to lift each leg with my hand and move tediously
from one step to the next.
Incredibly, by the 12th day I was actually running up and down the stairs. I
felt as though I could have flown out the door without wings. I was so
happy and so thankful I had for this dramatic recovery!
As requested, I had taken 3 packages a day of the HMS90 for the first
week, and after that 2 a day. By September I was only taking one a day
and I feel great!
After I had been several weeks on the HMS 90, the Kidney Specialist called and asked
me to go back to his office for a number of new tests. When I returned this time I
went alone and was able to walk into the office with no pain. I saw him on August
2nd, but did not receive the reports back until August 26th. When I returned to see
him a funny thing happened. Initially I had been found to have an infection in my
kidney and very low potassium. However, the second group of tests seemed to
confuse him as he looked at my chart. In fact he got up from his chair and went back
to the office computer to look up my chart again. He was convinced that there was
an erroneous report in my file! When he came back to the office he said "Brenda the
second group of tests shows no inflammation or Infection around your kidneys, and
your potassium is normal! (This was the first time in nine years it had been normal)
What a tribute to HMS90 and Xtra Sharp!

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

Testimony of Barbara Fairchild #179

Barbara Fairchild: Her desire for her Mother's


Story improved quality of life led her and sister to
Immunotec!

Two-time Grammy nominee, Barbara Fairchild, is no stranger to the world of


music and entertainment. Barbara has been entertaining since she was five years
old. Recognized by many for her appearances on TNN's Nashville Now with Ralph
Emery, Crook & Chase, and most recently, Prime Time Country, people have enjoyed
her heartfelt singing, down to earth personality and humorous perspective on life.
She has appeared on the Tonight Show, Hee Haw, and the Trinity Broadcasting
Network (TBN). Barbara's live performances have also included many European and
USO tours. She and husband Roy Morris settled in Branson, Missouri in 1992, where
they have fallen in love with the Ozarks and its people. She has been guest performer
at various Branson theaters and in 1993, she started performing in her own show.
Though Barbara's demanding show schedule keeps her busy, she still makes time for
her family; husband Roy, their five children and seven grandchildren. Indeed, it was
the concern for a loved one that brought Barbara to Immunotec in May 2003.
Barbara and Roy were traveling in the Denver area when their friends and hosts told
them that someone was going to come over to talk to them about glutathione. Of
course neither one of them had any idea what glutathione was, but when it was
explained that it had to do with the immune system, Barbara was all ears. Roy had
successfully battled cancer a few years before and they both knew how essential a
strong immune system is. That night, as they listened to Immunotec distributors
Candice Adams and Mildred Nelson talk about Immunocal, they realized that the
bonded cysteine supplement might be helpful for Barbara's mother, Opal. In her late
70s and battling both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's, she no longer recognized
her family, didn't talk, kept her eyes closed for days at a time and was fed by tube. In
her isolation, her head jerked constantly. Never one to be too quiet, Barbara declared
that if Immunocal could help her Mama, the whole would would hear about it. Watch
out world! In the months that followed, the progress was steady but sure. Opal began
to reply with single word answers. The doctors took her off six of her nine
medications and reduced the dosage of another. In April 2004, a videotape made
while she was visiting her home amazed her doctors. It shows her being very
interactive and responsive, talking, laughing and playing games with her
grandchildren as they gathered around her bed. Today she talks, jokes and is
amazingly different from the sickly woman of a year ago. During this time, Barbara
and her sister Bernice Arnold learned to be their mother's surest advocate. Bernice is
also an Immunotec distributor and shows her love and concern for her mother by
making daily visits to her residence. When nursing home staff found it challenging to
mix the protein or to administer it on a regular basis, Barbara and Bernice were
adamant that it must be done. They stood toe to toe with health professionals and
insisted that they do what it took to help their mother. A year later, they no longer
have to insist. Having seen the marked difference in one person's quality of life, staff
members happily comply with the ladies' request that Immunocal be a part of their
mother's diet. Persistence pays off! Most of the staff have become Xtra Sharp
customers and recently, some have signed up as Immunotec distributors. And true
to her word, Barbara's world is finding out about Immunocal! Hundreds and hundreds
of people she has met on her travels have been helped and are seeing joy arise out
of suffering. Barbara believes that "a man with an experience is never at the mercy
of a man with an argument". As a recording artist, Barbara might not think of herself
as a salesperson, but when she tells the story of her mother's experience, it doesn't
take much more to sell a box of product! Once you have experienced the benefits,
then, if you find you don't like selling, you don't sell. You just share your experiences.
In the past year, Barbara has seen her check grow to over $6,000 per month. She
and Roy have watched their business become a family affair with all five of their
children involved as distributors. And each of their grandbabies, from ages three to
eight, takes Immunocal. She continues to count her blessings -- among them, her gift
of singing and having her mother literally given back to her. And unlike the lyrics to
her trademark "Teddy Bear Song", Barbara doesn't have a "sewed on smile and a
painted twinkle in her eye" -- her happiness comes straight from the heart!

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.
This is Nancy's story: (The Past) NANCY WATTS -- MEDICAL INFORMATION

AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES:


1. Fibromyalgia 2. Interstitial Cystitis (Acute) 3. OsteoArthritis 4. Pyelitis (Lining
of kidneys infected)
5. Rheumatoid Arthritis 6. Sjogren’s Syndrome.

Intolerant 8. Latex Intolerant
9. Noroxin 10. Penicillin 11. Percaset 12. Sulfur 13. Tobramycin 14. Dye used for x-
rays

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!

Sheri Cramer **UPDATE** Sheri Cramer Testimonials # 158 (on pg 107 -


107 & # 010 ):

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.

As of September 2, 2005 I decrease my intake of HMS90 to 2 packages a day and I


still feel as good as I did when I was taking 4 packages a day.

Although, after many hours of research, I also incorporated a few other items;

8 months of 4 packages a day of HMS90, 1000 mcg of Calcium & 1 Multi


Vitamin/Mineral, decreased to 2 packages of HMS90 along with the below items, for 1
½ months and I still feel as good as if I was on 4 packages a day.

This clearly tells me that my body healed what needed to be healed and now I will
continue my regime for good health.
(Building blocks to manufacture Glutathione
2 HMS90 =$4.00 also recycles Vitamin C & E)
1 Selenium (200 mcg) Gel Caps =$0.12 (Helps to recycle Glutathione)
1 Vitamin C “Ester” (500 mg) =$0.20 (Helps to replenish Vitamin E)
1 Vitamin E (400 iu) Gel Caps =$0.05 (Helps to replenish Vitamin C)

4 Naturally Sourced Calcium (1000 mcg) =$0.92 (Promotes strong bones &
muscle)
1 Vitamin D3 (1000 mcg) =$0.04 (Helps absorb Calcium & Anti-Cancer)
Flax Seed (2 tbsp freshly ground) =$0.27 (Raises my Omega 3 levels naturally)
1 Multi Vitamin/Mineral =$0.12 (Folic acid, Vitamin B1, B2, B6 and B12)

Updated Mabel Brucknak: # 160

July 14, 2003

Dear Dr. Rencus,

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.

Yours Truly, Mabel Brucknak

Lymes Disease

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/Pure Milk Calcium Information # 162

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!

Xtra Sharp has no ephedra, no sugar, no caffeine and no carbohydrates! New X5


does have 11g of carbs.

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.

Ingredients in Xtra Sharp:

Potassium (citrate & glycerophosphate): Most Americans are potassium-deficient.


Potassium controls their energy level.
- Works with sodium to regulate the body's water balance and normalize heart
rhythms.
- Nerve and muscle functions suffer when the sodium / potassium balance is off.
- Can help dispose of body wastes.
- Can help assist reducing blood pressure.
- Can aid in allergy treatment.
VERY FEW people do not notice a reaction their first time they take a dose of Xtra
Sharp. They are usually VERY low in potassium. By the second dose, they have been
brought up to normal “I feel good” levels.

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.

Alfalfa: Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific


studies): Early Chinese physicians used young alfalfa leaves to treat disorders of the
digestive tract. In India, physicians prescribed the leaves and flowering tops for poor
digestion. It was also considered therapeutic for water retention and arthritis due to
its high mineral content. North American Indians recommended alfalfa to treat
jaundice.

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.

Chamomile: Historical or traditional use: Chamomile taken internally prevents and


treats ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems including indigestion, gastritis,
heartburn, and flatulence.

Damiana: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Acts as a tonic on the central


nervous system and the hormonal system. Used in treating depression and anxiety,
particularly when influenced by sexual factors. Strengthens the male sexual system.
Dandelion: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Dandelion is an excellent, safe
diuretic and liver tonic. Dandelion is a valuable diuretic, because it is rich in
potassium- a vital mineral often lost when the kidneys are stimulated by drugs. It is
useful in treating: water retention due to heart problems, inflammation and
congestion of the liver and gall bladder, and congestive jaundice.
Echinacea: Therapeutic Actions: This herb targets the secretory immune system
(lymphatic system, skin, and mucous membranes) and activates cellular immunity
when the cellular integrity is threatened by viral attack.

Gentian: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Excellent in treating sluggish digestion


and lack of appetite, as indicated by conditions like dyspepsia and flatulence. Gentian
stimulates the appetite and digestion and promotes the production of saliva, gastric
juices, and bile.
Ginkgo Biloba: Historical or traditional use: The main active compounds in Ginkgo
leaves are the Flavoglycosides. These compounds have antioxidant and free radical
properties helping to improve mental performance, brain function and concentration
problems. Helps keep blood platelets from becoming “sticky”.

Ginseng: (American) Historical or traditional use: American Ginseng root is matured


six years before it is harvested. American Ginseng is a traditional vitality herb used
by the Native Americans. It has many properties similar to the popular herb Korean
Ginseng. This product is especially popular among people leading an active and
demanding lifestyle.

Grape seed: Historical or traditional use: Grape seed extract is a bioflavonoid-rich


extract used for fighting free radicals and maintaining capillary health.
Proanthocyanadins have been indicated for:
- poor distribution of microcirculatory blood flow in the brain and heart
- altered capillary fragility and permeability
- chronic arterial / venous insufficiency in the extremities
- breakdown in the elastic fibers of the capillaries (collagen & elastin)
Guarana seed: Historical or traditional use: Promotes Energy - Guarana is a world-
famous plant found primarily in the Amazon Jungle. It has been used for centuries by
the Brazilian Indians and is commonly referred to as Brazilian Cocoa, a remedy for
fatigue.
In homeopathic medicine, Guarana is used to treat headaches. There is, however, no
evidence of its effectiveness for this problem. Among Guarana’s many effects are a
tendency to strengthen and speed up the heartbeat, relax blood vessels (except for
those in the brain), and open bronchial tubes. Guarana also discourages blood clots,
stimulates the urinary system, and promotes production of digestive juices.
Licorice root: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Acts on the endocrine system
and the liver as an antihepatotoxic effective in treating hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Licorice is also an expectorant and anti-inflammatory, useful in cough and bronchitis.
Milk thistle: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Excellent as a liver tonic and in
treating numerous liver and gallbladder conditions such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.
May also reverse toxic liver damage and protect against hepatotoxic agents. Helps to
increase glutathione levels in the liver.
Passion Flower: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: As a sedative, passionflower is
the preferred herb for treating insomnia and leaves no hangover. As an
antispasmodic, it is helpful in Parkinson's disease, asthma (with much spasmodic
activity), seizures, and hysteria. It relieves nerve pain in conditions like neuralgia and
shingles.
Sarsaparilla: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Gradually restores the proper
functioning of the body, correcting a wide range of systemic problems. These include
scaling skin conditions such as psoriasis, and rheumatic conditions. Especially useful
for rheumatoid arthritis.
Saw Palmentto: Historical or traditional use: It is one of the best herbs available for
prostate health and the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy, as it can increase
urine flow and decrease the frequency of nighttime urination. The berries are used
for asthma, colds and bronchitis. It is also good for poor appetite and digestion.

Spirulina algae: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Rich in marine minerals.

Thyme: Historical or traditional use: Thyme is antibacterial and antifungal. It


eliminates gas, lowers cholesterol, reduces mucus and helps headaches. Thyme is
good for croup and other respiratory problems.

GUARANA

• Relieves stress • Improves alertness and concentration • Fights fatigue •


Natural anti-depressant
Helps with weight loss

GUARANA LEGENDARY HERB OF THE AMAZON


Boosts energy. Guarana has a broad-spectrum effect that ranges from its use as a
builder of stamina and staying power, to its value in calming and soothing the whole
body and relieving physical and mental stress. It is thought to stimulate brain
function and aids concentration and alertness.1 It has been found to be helpful for
headaches, especially migraines, and Slimmers may also benefit from Guarana, as it
helps to allay feelings of hunger.

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.

IS IT JUST A CAFFEINE PILL?


There has been speculation among some that Guarana is just a caffeine pill. This is
not essentially true. Caffeine is a single substance with specific actions in the body.
The caffeine present in Guarana is known as guaranine and its effect on the body is
determined by the other active substances in the herb. Because of the presence of
these other elements, Guarana's total action is gentle, without the side effects
commonly noted with the use of single substances. Guarana, almost identical to
caffeine, is released slowly--over as much as 6 hours--so the energy boost that is
experienced from Guaraná is not like that of coffee (with a sudden rush and quick
drop-off), but continues to escalate over hours. The tannic acid is an astringent (any
of a group of substances that tend to shrink mucous membranes and raw surfaces
and to dry up secretions) and probably accounts for its use as a digestive tonic.

THE SAFETY FACTOR


Guarana has been used without harm for thousands of years in the Amazon region.
More recently it has become the subject of much clinical and laboratory investigation
by the government and universities of Brazil. Guarana has been found to be safe and
effective in recommended doses without harmful side effects.6 Also important is the
finding that Guarana is non-habit forming and will not interfere with sound sleep.7
To sum up—Guarana is a high-energy source that increases mental alertness, fights
fatigue, slows the pulse, decreases the appetite, and is an excellent mood elevator.
This herb can also be used as a nervine tonic for hangovers, menstrual headaches,
and neuralgia. It is also useful for leucorrhea, diarrhea, and fevers; its chief use in
Europe and North America is for headaches, especially if of a rheumatic or nervous
nature.

Real People Share Their Stories...On Xtra-Sharp

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 163

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.

makes me feel good.
There are no side effects and it does not raise my blood pressure, increase my heart
beat or interfere with
my eating and insulin usage. But it does help me to maintain a good positive energy
and attitude allowing
me to absorb what ever the day brings my way without getting stressed out.
XtraSharp is an excellent
product to assist one in getting through the day, especially those long hard days.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 165

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.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 167

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.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 168

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!"

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 169

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.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 170

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

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 171

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.
Susan Schock-Kling, Dickinson ND
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

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 173


For as long as I can recall, at least since high school, I have always experienced a
‘lull’ in my energy level at around the mid afternoon mark. This stayed with me right
up through adulthood, and though worse on some days than others, I found myself
overwhelmed quite often by the sheer weight of my workload. Being a graphic
designer requires a high level of organization, time management, and the ability to
transform the abstract into something real and tangible. Creativity must be available
on demand. A friend told me about Xtra-sharp, and despite the fact that I am
traditionally a hard-shelled skeptic; I acquiesced and agreed to sample the product.
About three days into taking it each morning, I found myself sitting at my design
station, at 3:30 in the afternoon, absolutely charged with energy. I called my friend
and said “I feel like jumping up and running around the block a couple times! This
stuff is amazing!” I signed up for auto ship that day.
No longer did a stack of work orders piled on my desk daunt me. I found it easy and
simple to organize according to due date, complexity, process, and priority. My days
turned from a tangled web of dismay to a smooth operation of high production,
maintained through my entire shift. Not even two months later, I opened my pay
cheques at the end of the month to discover I had received a healthy pay raise, in
recognition of the increased efficiency and production from my corner of the shop.
Xtra-sharp gave me the edge I was missing. I haven’t so much as glanced back since.

Xtra-Sharp Testimonial # 174

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

A FAT CHANCE FOR KIDS


OBESITY ‘A CRISIS’
Will overtake smoking as fatal factor: expert
MICHAEL FRISCOLANTI CANWEST NEWS SERVICE

Toronto – Obesity has become such “a crisis of historic proportion” that it is


only a matter of time before it overtakes tobacco as the leading cause of
premature and preventable death, a leading expert said yesterday. David
Katz, an outspoken critic of fast-food culture and the high calories that go
with it, said cases of obesity are growing so rapidly that some of today’s
children could be grappling with heart disease before their teenage years are
finished. “We live in a toxic nutritional environment of our own making.” Katz
told colleagues at the annual Canadian Cardiovascular Congress. “It is a sea
of calories in which we are drowning." So many people are drowning in that
sea, he said, that decades worth of medical advances aimed at fighting
heart disease and other ailments are in danger of being overrun. “The crisis
shows no signs of improving any time soon,” Katz said. “We’re all in the same
gig sinking ship, I’m afraid to say,” said Katz, director of medical studies in
public health at the Yale University School of Medicine. Katz, a slight man
who insists he snacks on multigrain bread and the odd piece of dried frui t,
said the obesity epidemic is rooted in the simple fact that humans have not
adapted since the prehistoric age when people hunted for their dinners. Food
was scarce back then, and people burned thousands of calories in the
physical act of finding their next meal. Today, Katz said, kids do little but lie
on the couch and play video games in between visits to the kitchen. “We are
designed for a very different world than we live in now,” he said, comparing
people’s inability to adapt to that of a polar bear in the desert.” (but) we have
not change.” During his 90-minute presentation, Katz painted a disturbing
picture of today’s high-speed, high-calorie world. Burger King drive-throughs
beckon us at every corner. “The toll of this is enormous,” he said, “Children
growing up in the U.S. and soon Canada are the first cohort in modern
memory looking at a shorter live expectancy than their parents because of
epidemic obesity and diabetes.” Today, about one in 10 Canadian children is
overweight – a number that has almost tripled since the mid-1980s.

To avoid competition for protein binding sites, we recommend that


Immunocal/HMS 90 be taken first thing in the morning on an empty
stomach and that Prycena be used prior to lunch and supper.

2. What is the maximum recommended dosage?


As directed on the label - 1.8 oz (50 g) per day.
3. Does Prycena have an effect on cellulite?
Prycena’s activity targets adipocite fat cells to reduce their size. This may
reduce the size of cellulite but other effects are not known.

4. Can a diabetic they take Prycena?


A diabetic must calculate the fructose in the product and incorporate it
into their daily regime. They should consume the recommended
dosage: 1.8 oz split into one or two servings. Prycena contains 20
grams of carbohydrates per serving or 10 grams per scoop. We believe
Prycena can be easily incorporated into a diabetic diet plan. As always,
if in doubt you should consult your Registered Dietician.

5. What sugars are in Prycena and how much?


Prycena contains about 13 grams of fructose, 0.6 grams lactose and 2.0
grams of maltodextrin per serving (2 scoops).

6. What is the source of whey? Does the milk contain antibiotics or


steroids?
Prycena is from the same Idaho milk source as Immunocal/HMS 90. The
milk used to produce Prycena is very clean with extremely low
bacterial counts. The government allows a bacterial count of 100,000
parts per milliliter; milk used by Glanbia has an average count of
1,000. Whey is derived from cheese and cheese cannot be produced
from milk that contains antibiotics or steroids.

7. Is the whey a concentrate? An isolate?


The whey is an isolate, which is why it is so low in fat and lactose.

8. Can this product be heated without adversely affecting outcome?


The product can be warmed without changing the protein structure. Use
of a microwave oven is not recommended.

9. What is represented in the 14% mineral content?


Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and trace amounts of zinc,
copper and iron are found in Prycena. There is 1000 mg of Calcium in a
50g serving.

10. How much caffeine is in one scoop, recognizing that it is made


from cocoa?
The amount of caffeine in the product is low and should not cause any
side effects.

11. Is there any chromium in this new product?


Only trace amounts of chromium are found in Prycena. Levels are
certainly safe for humans.
12. How unique is this product relative to anything else on the
market in Canada or the United States?
Glanbia is not aware of anything remotely similar on the market. Prycena
is certainly a unique product!

13. Some users of Prycena have complained of constipation after


taking the product. What would be a suggested course of remedial
action?
When an individual increases protein intake, they should also increase
their intake of water. Eight-ten glasses of water are recommended
daily. Should further action be required, the addition of a magnesium
supplement to the diet is recommended. Extra fibre and exercise are
also known to relieve constipation.

14. Can I take Prycena if I am lactating?


Lactation increases one’s nutritional needs significantly and while there is
no obvious reason not to take Prycena (its minerals and protein would
be very desirable), we would not recommend beginning a diet while
lactating. If you have a question about this you should consult your
physician.

15. What type of protein is in Prycena?


Prycena contains only whey proteins, partially hydrolyzed to increase the
activity of the weight control peptides

.
16. How much lactose is in Prycena?
There is about 0.6 grams of lactose per serving. This is a very small
amount when compared to other dairy products. For example an 8 oz
glass of milk has about 12 grams and half a cup of ice cream has 4
grams.

17. Will it affect me if I am lactose intolerant?


It is unlikely that this much lactose to cause an intolerant reaction,
particularly if the serving is taken in two halves (i.e. one scoop at a
time). Taking the product before a meal would also reduce the chances
of a reaction.

18. What does each of the ingredients in Prycena do?


Fructose – natural sweetener Maltodextrin – lower glycemic index
sweetener, adds creaminess Cocoa powder – Color and chocolate
flavor Natural Flavor – Flavor to make it taste good Carrageenan Gum –
Thickener to give the drink more body Now that you've got the scoop,
use it! And Stop Fat Now!

Most Diets:

Leave you hungry – How successful can this be?

A Drink replacement – How long can you go before you have to ‘eat’ food?

Restrict foods you can eat – Deprived of the foods you like to eat?

You have to PAY for every pound you lose and/or buy only their food – miss a
meeting and you have to pay a $20 fee and more!

Have stimulating drugs, herbs or caffeine – side effects can be nasty and even
deadly!

How about something:

Safer than drinking a glass of milk!

Scientifically proven to work!

NO SIDE EFFECTS!

With 20 grams of PROTEIN per serving and 1000 mg of CALCIUM per serving to
build strong bones and to assist in a multitude of cellular functions!

A Simple, Natural Solution!

Immunotec's NEW Prycena with active ingredient Prolibra,
is a weight loss “accelerant”.
BURN BABY, BURN!!

Prycena contains two peptides: a glycomacropeptide that helps maintain a feeling of


fullness and a micropeptide that, along with almost 1,000 mg of dairy calcium, helps
burn fat and calories naturally. To increase the fat burning mechanism, the amount
of the micropeptide (or fat-burning peptide) has been doubled in the NEW PRYCENA
thereby helping you burn even more fat and calories.

Prycena also contains 24% of the recommended daily value of fiber, which is so
important with respect to weight loss! And, the source of this fiber is
arabinogalactan, from the Larch tree!
Arabinogalactan has been shown to increase the growth of healthy bacteria in the
gastronintestinal tract and is known for its immune enhancing properties.

Dietary Supplement & Weight Loss Accelererator

Prycena Testimonial # 175:

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 have no reason to discontinue Immunocal and everything to gain by continueing


taking to it.

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

Protein toothpaste Testimonial # 177

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

Protein toothpaste Testimonial # 178


I've been using the Protein toothpaste now for four months and I love it! I have
my children using it too. I have noticed in that time I never have gums that bleed,
and no longer develop sores inside my mouth. We all have experienced canker sores,
especially those of us who have stress in our lives. They will appear often and can be
very painful. Since I have been using the toothpaste and taking taking HMS 90 I
haven’t had to deal with them at all.

Immunocal Amino Acid Profile Review /October 2002

As a nutritional chemist, PHD and a certified Sports Performance coach


with over 2 decades of experience working with a wide variety of athletes
including elite World and Olympic medalists, I was very impressed upon
reviewing the amino acid profile of Immunocal.
It has been our experience working with these athletes, and is well
documented, that exercise exerts a huge systemic demand for amino acids
on the human body.

Many studies, such as Lemon at Kent State University, have demonstrated


that certain amino acids are consumed much faster than others during even
moderate exercise. L-glutamine, in particular, is known to be the most
abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and shows the highest blood
concentration of all the amino acids after an exercise session. Immunocal
supplies almost 1.8 grams of L-glutamine/glutamate in one pouch!

Also, the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-leucine, L-isoleucine
and L-valine, are absolutely fundamentally necessary for the maintenance,
repair and growth of lean, functional muscle tissue, are available in a high
percentage in Immunocal/HMS-90.

Young at MIT showed that L-leucine oxidation is increased by 240 % during


even moderate exercise! Immunocal provides almost one gram of L-leucine
in one pouch! The total amount of the three BCAAs in one pouch of
Immunocal is over 2.2 grams!

Knowing the superb bioavailability of Immunocal to human beings and the


excellent profile of Immunocal, particularly with respect to the
aforementioned amino acids, it should be obvious to any athlete and coach
that supplementing with Immunocal will greatly aid recovery from workouts
and help any athlete achieve his or her goals, safely, legally and
effectively.

• Immunocal is a bioactive whey protein nutraceutical,cystine delivery


system that supports the immune system, raises T cell levels and
detoxifies the liver.
• It is rich in cysteine-cysteine and glutamyl-cysteine dipeptides.
• It supplies about 1.8 grams of L-glutamine/glutamate per serving.
• It supplies almost 2.2 grams of the essential branched chain amino
acids, including 1 gram of L-leucine, per serving.
• It contains <1% fat, cholesterol and lactose.
• It is safe, effective and legal for use in all sporting organizations.
• Proven to improve volitional muscle performance 13%! (Lands, et al.,
Journal of Applied Physiology Vol.87 / 1381-1385, 1999)
• It will greatly aid athletes by reducing soreness, enhancing recovery
and minimizing down time from illness.

“Product Comparisons” Do these stats look even


close?? Commercial Whey Proteins are ‘not’ the same as
Immunocal!
Commercial whey proteins are pasteurized, thus killing any or
most of the bioactivity in the whey. Immunocal is not
pasteurized
thus maintaining bioactivity of this product & the level of
Cystine,
an amino acid critical to the cellular production of Glutathione,
a
powerful antioxidant found in every cell of a human or animal.

UNIQUE FORMULATION AND UNIQUE PRODUCTION PROCESS


OF IMMUNOCAL AND/OR HMS 90

QUESTION:

What makes Immunocal in USA and HMS 90 in Canada different than the high
quality Whey protein that I am currently taking?

ANSWER:

1. The formulation is unique, there is no other like it.


• Immunocal/HMS 90 supplies a disulphide bonded cystine which is
generally not preserved in other whey proteins. The double bonded
cystine makes it easily absorbed through the cell membrane where
it is broken down and readily joins with glycine and glutamate to
make glutathione or GSH. Without the double bonded cystine the
body treats the single cysteine molecule as a free radical and it is
eliminated.
• The double bond of the cystine molecule is easily broken down into
the single amino acid of cysteine through the following methods:
high temperatures used in the modern pasteurization
processes,
oxygen or oxidation,
antibiotics also destroy the bond and the bioactivity, and
vigorous mechanical mixing therefore avoid using a blender to
mix.
2. Immunotec Research Ltd is a research company that is backed by 25 years
of research and they have taken great care in the unique production
process of Immunocal/HMS90.
• The herd of cows that produce the milk to make Immunocal/HMS90 is
in Idaho, which is the cleanest state for air pollution.
• The cows are never given antibiotics and are in pastures that are
never treated with herbicides or pesticides.
• It takes approximately 125 quarts of milk to make one box of
Immunocal/HMS 90, which contains 30 pouches containing 10
grams each. (this is approximately 4.166 quarts of milk per pouch)
• The milk is put through a cold pasteurization process to preserve the
natural bioactivity of the milk. This means the milk is heated to
62.7degrees Celsius and is held at that temperature for not less
than 30 minutes, it is then cooled rapidly to 4.44 degrees Celsius.
During research Dr. Bonous found that high temperature
pasteurization (72 to 79 degrees Celsius) was responsible for the
loss of the bioactivity of the milk and thereby decreases the
immune response.
• The milk is also put through a screening process to make sure there
is absolutely no antibiotics in the milk. Antibiotics also destroy the
bioactivity of the milk.
• The milk is then screened through a ceramic screening process,
which takes out the lactose and fat.
• Absolutely everything is checked and rechecked for content and
quality including the bacteria.
• HMS 90/Immunocal is produced as a pharmaceutical grade product,
not as a food product, which means that every envelope, has a
serial number and a lot number thereby making it traceable.
• The pouch that Immunocal/HMS 90 is stored in is made up of paper
and foil with a thin membrane of plastic between. This protects
HMS90/Immunocal from oxidation, which will break the double
cystine bond and turn it into cysteine, which the body would
eliminate as a free radical.
• A machine fills the pouches at a speed that is seven times slower
than capacity in order to also preserve the bioactivity of the
contents. This process is also done in an oxygen free environment
by replacing oxygen with nitrogen.
• The process is never touched by human hands and produces whey
that is very fine, it is not instantized and therefore not easy to mix
that is why a mixer and instructions are provided to our customers.
3. Most other whey protein products on the market today may contain all of
the necessary amino acids to produce Glutathione or GSH; however, there
is no other whey protein powder that is produced with as much quality
control that guarantees the same value is in every pouch. A large
container of whey protein may be cheaper than Immunocal/HMS 90;
however, once the container is opened only the first few servings provide
the optimum value to the human body. The rest of the container has
been exposed to oxygen and as discussed previously the oxidation
process breaks down the cystine into cysteine, which is then eliminated,
from the body as a waste product.
4. Immunocal/HMS 90 acts in three ways providing the most benefit of any
whey powder on the market today. Three letters create the acronym, AID,
which describes Immunocal/HMS 90’s benefits as follows:
• A FOR Antioxidant - glutathione is known as the master antioxidant,
• I FOR Immune Booster, keeping glutathione at optimum levels allows
the immune system to operate efficiently, and
• D FOR Detoxifier, glutathione is responsible for eliminating the
unwanted items or toxins from our cells such as mercury, lead,
cadium, pesticides, herbicides, and other toxins ingested through
our air, water and foods. These items listed above are only a few
the actual list is quite long.

Comparing Whey Proteins


When I was up at Immunotec last Monday, Dr. Bounous and Dr. Gutman
explained the difference between our product and other whey. This is to the
best of my understanding of what was said.
Comparing Whey Proteins
• Unlike most other whey proteins, HMS 90 is undenatured, meaning the protein
integrity has been preserved. This makes it almost identical to human breast
milk, including its immune promoting properties and also biological activity.
Proving what it does to the immune response has been validated by science
and has enabled the product to acquire patents for treatments of
various diseases, by the Canadian, U.S. and Australian governments.
• If another whey states that it is undenatured, check to see if it has been
flavored or instantized. This process in itself immediately destroys about 60%
to 70% of what makes an undenatured whey protein work.
• HMS 90 is individually packaged. This preserves the product and doesn’t allow
air or moisture to get to it. Exposure to air and moisture would quickly
denature the protein through oxidation. (In effect the disulphide bonds that
holds together the two cysteine molecules would break apart and cysteine
would be released.) We know that cysteine on its own is toxic. This may
explain why a lot of the other whey proteins when tested actually blunted the
immune response, and a couple of them actually lowered glutathione levels.
• Immunocal (HMS 90 in Canada) is the only whey protein I know of that has been
validated by science, thus earning it a place in the U.S. Physicians Desk
Reference. It is also the only whey protein covered by Medicare and Medicaid
in many states for the treatment of cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and
fibromyalgia.
• No other whey protein that I have seen, advises, as ours does, that people who
have had an organ transplant should not take their product. HMS 90 is
powerful enough in boosting immune response that they could reject their
transplant. (These people are on immuno suppressant drugs)
• In the past year I have encountered a couple of sales representatives who told
me that their whey proteins are undenatured. Neither of them could show me
anything stating “undenatured” either on the package or in their literature.
That was alright with me, I figured I would see it in their science (I am so
spoiled with ours) When I then asked them to show me some research they
showed me Dr. Bounous’ research on Immunocal. Neither one could show me
any research on their own product.
• When you look at what required portions are for other whey proteins,
surprisingly HMS 90 is usually less expensive.

HMS90 – Whey Protein Isolate

“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?

Secondly, glutathione is your Immune System Booster and Regulator. It


optimizes your immune system and guess what? The highest levels of glutathione
are in your white blood cells. Your first defense against the next super bug, the
next SARS, the next flu coming at you. We trained these bugs to be tougher
because of our antibiotics. This is the only defense we have left. Number three,
though, here’s the big one. It’s your Immune System Regulator. What we mean is if
you have an auto immune disease or you know of someone who has an auto immune
disease, basically what an auto immune disease is, is your immune system is out of
whack. It means your immune system begins to attack you. What glutathione does,
is it regulates you. It gets your immune system to stop attacking you. And if it stops
attacking you, then of course, you’re going to heal. So that’s another thing it does.

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.

Here’s our problem…We cannot ingest glutathione, we cannot inject glutathione in


the body to rebuild it. Glutathione has to be manufactured in the cell in the body,
which means the only way we can make glutathione is we need the precursors or
the building blocks. 2 of the 3 building blocks are readily available in nature. We
have lots of them. The one building block we need is called Cysteine. That’s the
one that is rare in nature, difficult to get, it has to be in a certain form. The body
needs to bring it into the body in a certain form. It needs to be 2 cysteine molecules
bonded together by a disulphide bond. And that’s the way the body has to receive it.
When it’s in that form, you ingest it, it goes into the stomach, into the intestines, out
into the blood stream, and up into the cells. When it gets into a cell, it divides. When
it divides, the glycine and glutamate, the 2 other amino acids, bond to it and
manufacture glutathione. Nature provided the natural source for us to get this
cysteine in our bodies every day. In fact the largest concentration of it is found in
you. (if you’re female) But, it’s in human breast milk, that’s why it was so important
to breast feed your children when they were young. And we’re mammals, therefore
theoretically it should be in every mammalian, and it is, in smaller concentrations.
Guess what? If you drank fresh cow’s milk, goat, camel, whatever country you lived
in, you would be getting this bonded cysteine into your body every day. But
unfortunately, we now pasteurize our milk. That’s the problem….Heat…As soon as
you apply heat, to the cysteine-glycine disulphide bond it breaks. Now you have 2
individual cysteine molecules. Cysteine in singular molecular form is toxic to the
body. You cannot absorb a single molecule of cysteine. It comes in the stomach and
right out the back end. So, that’s why it’s so important to get these 2 molecules
together in our bodies and we’ve been doing that for over 50 years.
Here’s the problem…First 25 years nobody really notices any real problems for not
getting this cysteine in their bodies but the last 25 years we’re noticing major
changes. What are we seeing, childhood diseases are going sky high. Why is that?
Autoimmune diseases are going sky high. Cancer, we haven’t slowed down cancer.
We’ve spent trillions of dollars on cancer and we’re getting more people with cancer
than ever. Our society today is more toxic than it has ever been before. We live in
the most toxic environment in humanity, 50 years ago it was no where near this
toxic. Our glutathione is working overtime to try and take care of all those bugs that
are coming at us.

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.

GLUTAMINE
Whether taken orally or intravenously, glutamine supplements raise glutathione
concentrations, but completely healthy individuals shouldn't require supplemental
glutamine and it can lead to side effects such as gastrointestinal upset. Older people
as well as kidney and liver patients should be cautious. Any serious use of this
supplement must be monitored by a health professional.

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?

• Glutathione (pronounced "gloota-thigh-own") also known as GSH is the body's


essential health AID - Antioxidant, Immune booster and Detoxifier. This small
protein, produced naturally in the body, maintains these three crucial
protective functions. In fact, your life depends on glutathione. Without it, your
cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have
little resistance to bacteria, viruses and cancer, and your liver would shrivel
up from the eventual accumulation of toxins.

• 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

Detoxifier - three critical processes driven by glutathione.

THE MASTER ANTIOXIDANT (AID)

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."

FOOD FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM (AID)


The immune system's function is to identify and attack germs and other invaders,
including cancer cel1s. A body with plenty of glutathione fights off these threats more
easily by denying most of them a foothold and by confronting the few that get
through with an enhanced immune system. Elevated glutathione levels enable the
body to produce more, white blood cel1s - the most important front line defense of
the immune system. Glutathione plays a central role in the functions of these
immune cel1s. Dr. Gustavo Bounous, a leading glutathione expert says, "The limiting
factor in the proper activity of our lymphocytes (white blood cel1s) is the availability
of glutathione." In other words, healthy growth and activity of immune cel1s depend
upon glutathione's availability. Put simply, glutathione is 'food' for the immune
system.
NATURAL DETOXIFICATION (AID)
Whether we know it or not, we are continual1y inhaling and ingesting natural and
synthetic toxins. They are unavoidable in these modern times, both in our pol1uted
cities and our engineered food supplies. When the body has its health and the
nourishment it needs it works tirelessly to eliminate toxins and protect itself, but
increasing levels of environmental pol1ution are depleting its stores of glutathione
more and more rapidly. Our main organ of detoxification is the liver – the 3 body's
most concentrated source of glutathione. Studies show that low glutathione levels
lead to poor liver function, causing more and more toxins to circulate through the
body and resulting in damage to individual cel1s and organs. Doctors routinely use
glutathione promoting drugs to detoxify victims of certain types of drug overdose.

GLUTATHIONE IN NATURAL MEDICINE


Practitioners of complementary medicine have long advocated the use of milk thistle
for liver problems. It turns out that this herb works by modestly elevating glutathione
levels. The mineral selenium also produces subtle elevations in glutathione by
becoming integrated into the enzyme glutathione peroxidase.

GLUTATHIONE IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE


Emergency doctors, toxicologists and lung and liver specialists are well acquainted
with glutathione's therapeutic uses. American physicians seeking ways to raise a
patient's glutathione levels can open the standard Physician's Desk Reference (PDR)
and find two options ~ the pharmaceutical drug NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine), sold under
brand names Parlodex and Mucomyst, and the natural dietary supplement
Immunocal (patented whey protein isolate).

DRUGS THAT RAISE GLUTATHIONE LEVELS


Pharmaceutical drugs like those shown in figure 2 have been used to raise
glutathione levels. However, they all produce side effects and are unsuitable for long-
term use.
The drug NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) is a potent glutathione precursor that has been
available for many years, and is also found on the shelves of health supplement
stores. This pharmaceutical chemical is used to break up mucus in lung diseases
such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis and asthma. It remains the standard
treatment for acetaminophen overdose. Most traditional glutathione studies on
humans have been conducted with NAC.

proteins
(Immunocal)

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.

BIOACTIVE WHEY PROTEIN


Bioactive whey proteins contain high levels of non-denatured protein and this assures
their glutathione-promoting activity. Much of our knowledge of the glutathione
sustaining effect of dietary whey proteins is the result of research initiated at
Montreal's McGill University in Canada during the early 1980's. Dr. Gustavo Bounous
was studying protein supplementation in general when he discovered the bioactive
potential of whey protein in particular. He investigated its effect on the immune
system and published his ground-breaking results. They encouraged other scientific
teams to study the effects of glutathione-enhancement in tests on a wide variety of
diseases. Dr. Bounous and his team went on to develop Immunocal ~ a whey protein
made under pharmacological conditions to maximize the protein's bioactivity.
Undenatured whey protein is a natural extract of milk - a safe, dependable and
effective way to sustain elevated glutathione levels.
GLUTATHIONE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
It is believed that glutathione has an important role to play in the treatment and
prevention of hundreds of diseases, It may in the future be considered as important
to health as a well-rounded diet, exercise and good lifestyle. Clinical tests show that
raised glutathione levels may address some of the major health issues of our time -
heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, cigarette smoking,
hepatitis, AIDS and more. Glutathione provides the body with tools to fight off these
threats naturally.

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.

Glutathione is also important to physically active people. Many world-class athletes


are discovering that well-maintained glutathione levels give them the edge over their
competitors, bringing greater strength and endurance, decreased recovery time from
injury, less muscle pain and fatigue, and muscle-promoting activity.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER


• Medical science is still ascertaining all the critical roles played by glutathione in
disease resistance and general good health. Clinical evidence links low
glutathione levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly
emerging diseases.
• As an essential AID to health, glutathione works as the master Antioxidant in
our body, optimizes the Immune system and Detoxifies a long list of pollutants
and carcinogens. However, the body's glutathione levels are not raised by
eating glutathione, since it is poorly absorbed through the digestive system. It
must be manufactured within the cells of the body, Therefore, the best way to
raise glutathione levels is by providing the building blocks used by the cells to
make it themselves.
• Pharmaceutical medicine has created drugs that do this very effectively, and
they have their uses in critical situations.But they also have side effects and
repeated use is clearly inadvisable. Recently, scientists have developed a
natural way to raise glutathione levels by safe, reliable dietary means. The
emergence of bioactive whey proteins is an exciting step forward in nutritional
supplementation.

Built to Survive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Medical Use of Anabolic


Steroids, Nutrition and Exercise for HIV (+) men and women by Michael
Mooney, Nelson R. Vergel Author's comment:

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.

et al.
Summary exerpt of article : "Place For An Antioxidant Therapy In Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection" (pp 311-321). Oxidative stress, a known
activator of HIV replication in vitro, has a potential role as a cofactor of HIV disease
progression. Arguments supporting the role of oxidative stress as a cofactor in HIV
activation are summarized in this review. The role of intracellular antioxidants such
as glutathione (GSH), and drugs and nutriceutical agents promoting GSH synthesis,
are discussed. The review also includes the early results of nutritional interventions

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.

The Gsh Phenomenon : Nature's Most Powerful Antioxidant and Healing


Agent
by Alan H. Pressman, Sheila Buff

"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."

Glutathione: Metabolism and Physiological Functions Edited by Jose Vina

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.

Antioxidants Against Cancer by Ralph W. Moss


Must Read. Clear, Concise, Well-researched, Convincing (April 16, 2000
Reviewer: Owen R. Fonorow from USA) This book should be given to every medical
student and Oncologist in this country. Lately, the media is full of reports cautioning
cancer patients about anti-oxidants. After reading Antioxidants Against Disease, you
will have the knowledge necessary to evaluate these unsubstantiated media reports
for yourself. Ralph presents all sides, not just one side. Few people in the world know
as much as Ralph Moss about Books about Glutathione-GSH, antioxidants treating
cancer. Ralph left the NY Sloan- Kettering cancer center when they asked him to
misrepresent research results. Moss was a spokesman and was supposed to say that
no benefit from Laetrile had been found, yet Ralph knew otherwise. He had spoken
with the research scientist and knew that standard tests in mice had indicated
significant benefit from Laetrile. Ralph resigned and began his quest to bring us the
truth about the myriad of cancer treatments.
