Diabetes 1 # Testimonial:
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
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
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
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
I am so excited to be part of Immunotec family and the product immunocal. I recommend anybody with HBV to try this product. Best Regards,
James Busienei March 27, 2002
Six months ago I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. I always took very good care of myself, so it was very difficult for me to admit and accept that I
had contracted HCV. Looking back over the past few years, I could see that my energy level was decreasing. I just thought it was related to my
age. My doctor feels that I may not be a candidate for Interferon and Ribavirin treatment. His plan is to perform tests every three months for the
next year to see if there are any trend lines available to help further decision making. Three months ago, I started taking one packet of Immunocal
daily, along with other supplements that I was previously taking. I continued to take one packet daily for around a month and started to feel slightly
better physically. However, I still felt weak and had a hard time getting through the day. I then decided to take two packets of Immunocal daily, and
within a few days started to feel much stronger physically, and more balanced mentally and emotionally. I just received my first three-month set of
test results. I compared them with previous test results and could clearly see an improvement. I am Optimistic that I will continue to improve and
look forward to my next three month test results. Thank you for introducing me to Immunocal.
Sincerely, Anthony Talis

Crohns
Crohns 19 # Testimonial:
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, Ontario Canada
Cystic Fibrosis
Hi Wally: Here's something that I received from John Molson that you may not have already. A lady in my Toastmasters group is the President of
either the local chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Society or the Canadian President (I got this info second hand so don't know for sure). I had the
opportunity to speak with her at the last Toastmasters meeting and asked if she had heard of HMS-90. She gave me the 'what are you trying to sell
me' look. Then I asked if she had heard of Dr. Larry Lands because he had done a clinical study using HMS-90 with CF patients. Then she gave me
the 'how do you know about him?' look. She told me that she knew 'Larry' quite well. I told her that I would email her some info the next day to read
as the meeting wasn't the time or place.
The next morning I was thinking that the only info I really had was the 1999 reference to the study that 'was being done' but I had nothing that spoke
of the results of this study. I wondered why Dr. Lands hadn't mentioned it to Chris Black (the lady I was speaking to) and if it was because he wasn't
happy with the results. So I emailed John, explained my situation and that Chris would certainly be checking any info I sent about Dr. Lands with him
as she knew he quite well and asked if he had anything more recent to back up the study. He sent me this! It is just perfect. When I emailed it to
Chris, she emailed back a little while later to thank me for the info that said that she will 'love to talk to Larry about this!'.
My physiotherapist (who also wants me to do a presentation for her, her staff and some of her patients before too long) knows Chris quite well and
said that she will definitely go for something like this if she is satisfied that it is legitimate. A Head Nurse at the hospital here (who is an avid Xtra-
Sharp fan and has people waiting to buy it!!) also knows her and had the same opinion. In my email to Chris, I also mentioned that I would be happy
to do a presentation to her group if she is interested. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this could turn into something nice. If I read Chris right,
if she is impressed with what HMS-90 can do to help CF patients, she will definitely be spreading the word through, not only her group, but all of the
groups that she is associated with. Here's hoping. Things are going pretty good here, Wally. I have a presentation lined up for Friday although
probably not as many people will show up as I had hoped. The newspaper messed up with my ad and did not put it in this weekend's paper! I have
some flyers around town but ... oh well. A few people have phoned and have said they will be there so guess that's better than no one!
I signed up a naturopath from Ontario a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Hugh for sending her to me as she asked to speak with someone IN
Canada) and a lady from PA last week.
My physiotherapist was very interested in the CF study as well and asked if I would forward her the info too (which I have done) as she knows
someone who works in the Research dept of the U of BC and who is always looking for new information that can help with asthma. No promises but
she was going to be talking (seeing?) her this weekend and wanted the info give her. I have, of course, checked my Immunoweb to see where I
stand now and what my commission cheque is for January. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper! A NICE cheque and ... I'm going to get to Montreal
for free after all! I thought I was quite a bit away from reaching the 40,000 pts but I guess I don't calculate the points the same way that Immunotec
does because, by the end of February, I will be slightly over the 40,000 even if no more new customers or distributors come in! Of course, any new
distributors I will put into Paul's downline to try to reach Gold as soon as possible. I am just thrilled, Wally!
It feels so good to know that I can continue working this business full time! My confidence has increased by leaps and bounds and I have gone from
'thinking' that I can make this work to 'knowing' I can! What a difference that little change makes! Well, that's my update for now. Talk to you later!

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.
"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
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!

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

Eyesight Testimonial # 27
My name is Carl Schenholm. I am an 82 year old retired veterinarian, who has had macular degeneration for about 7 years. For about the last 2
years, my condition has been static with scar tissue. I have visited specialists at Wilner Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Bascom Palmer
in Miami, Duke University Eye Center and Dr. Meir Schneider at the Institute for Self Healing in San Francisco. All of them said there was nothing
that could be done because of the scar tissue. After being on 2 to 3 packs a day of Immunocal for 119 days, the spinning lights in the back of my
eyes suddenly turned from white to orange. After 4 more days, I was able to see my face in the mirror while shaving (180 degrees with the left eye)
for the first time in years. I was also able to see my wife’s face. The black spot in my central vision of the left eye lightened to gray. I feel there is a
10% improvement in my vision which still remains after 2 months. My right eye seems to be slightly better as of today. August 7, 2005 I am now
taking 2 packs of Immunocal twice a day, and the black areas in both eyes are becoming more porous around the edges. My left eye continues to
see through 180 degrees and my right eye is slightly less foggy in the center. I am continuing to use Dr. Meir Schneider’s self-healing techniques,
such as palming and sunning the eyes and reading exercises
Eyesight Testimonial # 28
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.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
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
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
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
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:
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.

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!
Karen Metzger
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:)

"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,

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.
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”
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.
Powerlifting
HOPATCONG, NJ. - The Twin City Powerlifting Team began the 2001 season in great style by winning the team title at the ADAU

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

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, Canada
My name is Karen. One morning in 1995, I woke up in the morning and fell to the floor --I had partial paralysis along my left side. At first, the
doctors thought I had a stroke, but upon further investigation the final diagnosis was probable Multiple Sclerosis. I was given intravenous steroids
to reduce the swelling in my brain to give me back my mobility. But that was just the beginning. I was given Amitriptyline and Carbamazepine for
reducing the pain and Dilantin to control seizures. My blood pressure went sky high (200/165) and I was given Atenol (and of course waterpills to
counteract the side effects of the Atenol). I was taking so many different drugs, I felt like a regular pharmacy. In 1996, I had another attack where I
partially lost my sight. Everything was fuzzy like real bad reception on your T.V. This meant more drugs and two weeks in the hospital. After two
years of all the pills and the various attacks, I was really worn out. I was suffering from total fatigue and couldn't stay awake past 8 pm. Then in
November 1997, I was introduced to Immunocal/HMS 90. After only two weeks, I started to feel the difference. The pain was diminishing and
before long I wasn't taking any more pain killers. I also said goodbye to the blood pressure pills. BUT most of all, I have energy again and LOTS of
it! I am able to do all the things I used to do before the MS. I got my life back--- Thank You Immunotec! Karen lives in Toronto, Canada. She is
available to speak with MS patients
March 11, 2001 Hi my name is Beth Moscrop. I am from Peterborough, Ontario and I have Multiple Sclerosis (MS) I am very happy to say that I
am doing quite well with the help of HMS90 (Immunocal) I am not on any medication. I am getting real good strength in my legs back so I don’t need
to take as many rest breaks. I feel that overall I am feeling a lot better and can deal with stressful situations a lot better. I admit I still have to pace
myself. I can not clean the whole house in one afternoon but I can do room by room and that is more than I was doing 1 ½ years ago. My daughter
who is five years old makes sure that I remember to take my two packs a day because she knows that it is helping her mommy. I am so happy to
be able to do things on my own again and still ask for help the odd time. It is great to be able to drive again and have my vision clear. I can stand
and not feel as dizzy (still a bit but not as much). I can walk through a crowd without feeling too dizzy. Last year at this time I was using a walker and
I was not too strong at all. I do not ever want to be confined like that again and I thank God and HMS 90 for helping me. Those of you who have MS
please feel free to contact me if you would like to talk and those of you who don’t have MS just pray to God and thank him for keeping you from this
disease. Thanks Immunotec for your help Beth Moscrop

"I started on Immunocal in November 2000. I met someone on the internet, when we were talking once I mentioned that I have MS, her reply was
"Me too, I have this nutritional product that you have to try". She was kind enough to send me a months supply. I tried it and 6 days later I noticed a
dramatic eradication of one of the MS symptom. For months before I had developed an extremely weak bladder causing me to be incontinent
(wetting accidents) so often that I needed to wear bladder protection. This was a very disruptive symptom that had developed because of MS. Only
6 days after starting Immunocal I did not have that problem any longer. I still wore the bladder protection for about 2 weeks or so due to fear that it
would return but every time I was forced to have to "hold it" I had not one drop of an accident. I no longer need to wear that protection. 6 months later
I steadily have more improvements. The exhaustion I was experiencing has diminished to not noticeable. My vision and stability has also
dramatically improved. I thank God for my friend for telling me of this incredible product and mostly I thank Immunotec research for developing
Immunocal. " Sincerely, Dawn Turck 05/23/2001
Richard Jackan (Right) with
radio commentator Michael Reagan
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 our life.........Tom and Ruby Paul
Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s Testimonial: # 60
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "March 1, 1996 a day I will never forget. It was the day I heard my neurologist say "Sorry doctor but you have Parkinson's." I
was 59 years old with a fabulous dental practice. I had achieved a level of success and respect through out the dental community that most men
only dreamt of achieving. I had planned another ten years of practice then to gradually retire. I was looking forward to traveling the world, winters in
the south filled with golf and tennis, a special time of life to enjoy with my wife but with one word Parkinson's all had changed. My future was dark
and frightening, and all future planning stopped. I was competitive and aggressive in sports, I enjoyed competition, but how do you fight a disease
with no known cure? Self care had always been very important, as a family we eat according to the rules of proper nutrition. My dental office gave
nutritional counseling to the patients. I exercised daily by playing squash and competing in the city squash league. I took vitamin supplements for
over 30 years. How could I get Parkinson's? My attitude changed to "Why bother MY LIFE WAS OVER." You don't need to look after yourself if all
you have to look forward to is sitting in a corner of a nursing home in a wheel chair shaking yourself to death. With movement disorder disease small
simple procedures become major problems. Shoelaces, buttons, dressing, all become stumbling blocks. Walking, something that is so natural for
everyone, now had become a major problem, getting worse with every passing day. My brain could not make my muscles work with the touch
required for fine motor skills. This resulted in frustration that produced a deep and growing anger. I was handicapped and felt ashamed to be seen
limping, I felt alone. But all that has changed, I do have a future and I will enjoy my old age. HMS 90 ( Immunocal) is giving me back my future. I
have been on HMS 90 for one month and I know there are improvements, they are subtle but they are there. First thing in the morning and just
before bedtime, when all the benefit of my Parkinson's drugs has passed, I find my walking has improved. I can tie my shoelaces and do up buttons
faster and my fine motor skills have improved, but the biggest improvement is in my mental attitude, I have a positive sense of well being. I love life
again. We do not know HMS 90's true potential. The body has the capability to repair tissue damage given the proper circumstances. There may be
undifferentiated brain cells that can be adapted to produce dopamine or the brain may be capable of repairing cell damage if the immune system is
restored to peak efficiency. By restoring the immune system the body will be able to repair itself. If one month has produced such a positive
response just imagine the healing after one year of HMS 90, now think of the benefits possible after five years." Sincerely, Murray Chantler Guelph,
Ontario September 20, 2002

Dear Dr. Petrosino: "I have had excellent results within a few days after I started taking Immunocal. My energy level is 3 times what it was and the
Parkinson's medication is lasting longer between doses. I have even cut back slightly on the meds. I was having a balance problem and now I am
not. I still have the "internal jittery" feeling late afternoon into the evening. I am taking a packet of Immunocal first thing in the morning with about 6
ounces of juice. Do you think it would help (or harm) me if I took a 2nd packet of Immunocal in the afternoon?"
Glutathione is part of the body's defense system and protects us against the onset of many disease processes. It can also help to reverse certain
conditions or symptoms, either temporarily or permanently. The following story illustrates the apparent helpfulness of GSH supplementation in one
particular case. Wally, a seventy-four year-old baseball fan, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in May 1997. His disease progressed quickly
and his doctors placed him on Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa). In November he began to experience severe headaches - presumably from the
medication - and he discontinued it. Up to this point he had been a very active man, but now he deteriorated to the point where he could not get out
of bed or even rise from a chair without help. He says movement felt like "walking in cement". He was constantly fatigued and soon needed a
wheelchair to go outdoors. The doctors used other medications including Eldepryl (selegiline hydrochloride) and Requip (ropinirole hydrochloride).
They helped slightly. In March 1998 he started taking Immunocal, a natural protein which raises GSH levels. After five days his headaches were
gone. Within two weeks his fatigue has lessened. Two months later Wally was walking well again and was eventually able to visit the new Angels
baseball stadium, Edison Field, and jog around the block. There was no other therapeutic intervention and seven months later his active lifestyles
continued. Parkinson's disease: 62 year-old Carol maintained an active legal practice until 1990. After a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in
1986, she was able for a while to continue her career as a lawyer, but eventually had to quit. The stress was aggravating her symptoms and the
symptoms were in turn increasing her stress levels. She was treated with a number of different medications but her health continued to deteriorate
until she eventually needed help at home to carry out day-to-day tasks. She quit driving her car and stopped taking her daily walks, which she loved.
Then, within days of starting to take a bioactive whey protein isolate she noticed her strength returning. Weeks afterwards she was once more
exploring her neighborhood and nine months later she was driving again

I first remember the onset of stiffness, the slowing of gait, and the gradual loss of physical mobility in early 1998. But a hectic business travel
schedule and family illnesses, a personal divorce and hundreds of other priorities of life clouded and overshadowed the issues of Parkinson’s in my
life. I was simply too busy to be “bothered” by health issues!
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.
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:

Then a very dear friend of mine … (an Immunocal distributor in Denver) … Nan R. Schouweiler introduced me to Immunocal.
I made the personal decision to start taking Immunocal on May 7, 2005 … (1) packet a day … faithfully … at the insistence of my dear friend, Nan. I
also made a personal decision NOT to tell any of my family I was taking Immunocal. Immunocal would be my (and Nan’s) private secret. In that way
… any placebo effect I might have … would be known only to me. All other changes … IF ANY … caused by the Immunocal … would HAVE to be
noticed and observed by others … none of whom knew I was taking Immunocal !!!
About (3) weeks into the Immunocal program … (1) packet a day … people started talking about significant changes:
¾ 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 !!!
¾ My sister (a RN) called and said my “raspy” voice had cleared up and I also seemed much more alert !!!
¾ A close friend (Jim) … noticed I seemed to be moving easier and “less stiff”
¾ My daughter called and said … “Dad, your mental outlook has greatly improved … you seem less depressed and melancholy !!!”
¾ 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 !!!
¾ Other friends remarked … I was smiling more than they remembered in years … I was actually walking more naturally and not dragging my
right leg with my right arm “frozen stiffly” at my side
I know I am rambling … but since April 18, 2005 … my Parkinson’s RX medication has been unchanged … and the ONLY VARIABLE in my
treatment … has been the Immunocal !!!
⇒ (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
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.
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 Shaw58 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
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." Sincerely,L. Harris, Florida April 11, 2001

Depression
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
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.

Alzheimer's Testimonial # 73
"When I started taking Immunocal two and a half years ago, I did so because of the information that was known on cancer. I needed to be able to
prevent against after having lost both my parents to it. But then I realized that it wasn't only for the cancer prevention. Now for the first time in my life
I am acutally healthy."
"I know two gentlemen on Immunocal, one no longer shows the signs of Alzheimer's Disease and the other after seventeen years of shaking with
Parkinson's is able to eat in public because the shaking has stopped. A lady with MS who started taking Immunocal immediately after being
diagnosed two and one half years ago, and has been in remission ever since." Thanks again, Debbie Harmonic August 27, 2001

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

July 2003
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
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.

Pneumonia Testimonial # 81
Dear Dr. Petrosino
"I had pneumonia continuously until I got on Immunocal. Then I never had so much as a sniffle. I stopped taking it because I ran out of money, but
I'm back on it now. Sincerely, Sheila Clubb

Skeletal system
Definition: the bones (206 in an adult) that give the body support and protect vital organs
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!
Cancers/ HIV/AIDS
Cancers/ HIV/AIDS
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
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
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
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!

Dear Herb,
About two years ago, Norman became very ill with Congestive Heart Failure and Pneumonia. In the hospital they found Prostate Cancer.
Norman could not walk 10 feet without being totally out of breath. With medication, and herbs, there was some improvement. During this time, our
friends Cathy and Bob called and told us about Immunocal. I asked them to send it out as soon as they could. Norman started taking 3 envelopes a
day and in a month he was getting up, going out in the yard doing things. When we went to the Doctor, Norman’s PSA had dropped from 53 to 0.4.
Today, he is not on any medication, but takes 2-3 envelopes of Immunocal a day, and is doing very well.
Complaining of abdominal pains, Louisa from Alberta found out she had ovarian cancer. While awaiting surgery, she fell ill with a persistent cough
and malaise which turned out to be a metastasis (spreading cancer) which had traveled to her lung. She ultimately needed pelvic surgery to relieve
her discomfort, but decided not to undergo treatment for her lung metastasis. She started taking Immunocal and multivitamins daily and noticed a
great improvement after several weeks. Four months later, repeat chest x-rays showed no increase in tumor size. Nine month later the radiographs
revealed a decrease in tumor size. Louise continues to enjoy tending to her family and household
Herb,
I wanted to let you know the good news that my father was declared cancer free this week. As you probably remember, he was diagnosed with
stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma last year. As a 78 year old man, his prognosis was not particularly good. He had a sizable tumor in his throat
close to his artery and another in his groin. When they did further tests they found one more under one arm. Because the tumors presented
themselves on different sides of his body, the assumption was that the cancer was already throughout his system and was well established. The
doctor's first concern was the size of the tumor in his throat which was threatening his artery to the brain. Surgery was required to remove a piece of
it but the part closest to the artery had to be left behind. The second concern was not knowing if dad could withstand the potency of chemotherapy
that would be required to fight this type of cancer.
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
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
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.”
"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."
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 and I feel like I am a whole person again." Sincerely, Ralph J. Coppley 05/23/2001

Open Sores testimonial # 118 (can be found on Page 78) Joan Tantzen
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 Testimonial # 104
"I was taking only 1 packet a day and the results were slow in coming, but about a month ago I started taking 2 packets as a minimum and the
eczema on my right hand that I have been fighting for over 3 years if finally beginning to clear up!!! Oh, didn't mean to send a personal testimonial! :-

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.

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 Martinez Vancouver, WA
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.
Irene Moore
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
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!.
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
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

"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

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

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

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

Factor multiple/vitamin/mineral supplement with it
Cyst
I had a cyst on my back, next to my right shoulder blade for the last 10 years. The cyst was about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and protruded about
1 inch. While it was on my back and not uncomfortable, during the summer when not wearing a shirt, it was readily noticeable to others. About 5
years ago, when visiting the doctor with the flu the doctor commented on the cyst and suggested he could remove it for me surgically. Well, about
the beginning of March, I started taking Immunocal/HKS 90. Several weeks later the cyst had started weeping. Squeezing the cyst would, on
occasion, produce a white pus. After about 3 to 4 weeks, the cyst was noticeably smaller and producing a clear fluid. Six weeks later the cyst has
virtually disappeared. At first I thought the changing condition was just a natural phenomena. Then after a period of several weeks, it occurred to me
that the one thing that had changed was that I was taking Immunocal/HMS 90. While this may be a coincidence, after 10 years or 120 months, it
disappeared in the same month that I was taking Immunocal/HMS90 for the first time. Clifford King, Quebec, Canada
I wanted to have a healthy life and as a nurse with a lot of sick people around me, I was searching for a product to enhance my “Boomer” years. My
friends told me about HMS90/ Immunocal at a time when I had a sinus problem, then I got the flu. Working all different hours I needed something to
work for me Right away. I took one pouch a day and when I got sicker they told me to take two pouches a day. I did that; I got well in 3 days! It
works!
In April I went for a regular breast screening at the clinic, and was referred to my own doctor for follow up tests because they had found a dark area
in my left breast and a lump under the same arm. He scheduled me to see a woman breast specialist and a surgeon. A biopsy revealed that there
was 4 inches of my left breast duct that was blocked with an overgrowth of tissue and it was full of fluids. There was a slightly bloody discharge
upon aspiration. The lump under my left arm indicated that the duct was blocked up to the armpit and must be removed.
I WAS FACING LOSING A BREAST!! HOW DEVASTATING!!
I asked for a second opinion before surgery. My doctor sent me to the man that was to do the surgery. We talked and I asked for another set of tests,
he agreed. I did not tell him WHY! I knew I needed some time because I had been listening to Dr. Somersall for over 10 years, also heard many first
hand stories at the Toronto meetings with my upline and believed the recoveries. I understood there was a decrease in my body’s antioxidant
enzymes which protect my body against free radical damage. I believed the bio active “glutathione” in HMS90/IMMUNOCAL were the properties my
body needed to fight this attack of foreign bodies and it would be efficient enough for me. I increased the 4 pouches a day/ the Vitamins and I also
rubbed the Skin Perfecting Cream on my left breast every night. I took no other medications during this time; I believed this was a must for my
recovery. Six weeks later I had been through the second set of tests and was scheduled to visit the surgeon to discuss the operation. He began to
tell me that he was amazed that the lump under my arm was already smaller in size, that the 4 inches of infected duct was also decreased in length
and there was no trace of blood in the aspiration; he was happy to tell me that as far as he is concerned there will be “NO SURGERY”
He said, YOU ARE IN A RECOVERY STATE—WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING –DO NOT STOP!! I was extremely excited and I jumped off the table
and kicked up my heels. Yes!! He asked me “what is it you are doing anyway?” I spent the next 20 minutes in my surgeon’s office discussing
HMS90/IMMUNOCAL and the products with him. That beats surgery anytime, I would like to tell you!!
When I was done, he said to me” I can see you have faith in this and you will recover if you do not stop what you are doing, come back and see me
in September. Here is my email address to tell me more about this Supplement. Please tell my son too, he is out at the front desk.” He was
fascinated about the value of this dynamic product.
THANKS to all those who have contributed to the availability for me to get wellness in my body. Especially to Immunotec Research Ltd. For the
amazing discoveries that I was able to benefit from! Blessings to all of you. Sincerely, Judith A. Jewell-Belfry, RN 07/14/2001
Cyst in Breast Testimonial #180
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. Herb Johnsen

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
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.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Damaging Tissues
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.
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.

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).

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.

I am an Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgeon and when I first heard about Immunocal I wasn't very interested. When I finally read the clinical studies
about Immunocal and realized how this product worked on optimizing the immune system response, I felt strongly that this product was going to

"Immunocal is the future of the wellness movement - nothing else I know can impact the ability of every cell in the human body to defend itself from
the common pathological mechanisms. To raise glutathione levels is to reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help
detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal is clinically proven to do that in a safe, effective and convenient way."

Impaired activity of phagocytic cells in Candida albicans infection after exposure to chronic varied stress.
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

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.

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
Pass this on to your family & friends & those that are important in you

BARBARA Testimonials # 01
¾ 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:
¾ 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.
¾ 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.
¾ 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.
¾ 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!!!!
BARBARA Immunocal Distributor AUGUST 10, 2003
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.

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

.”This product is capable of changing the way that Medicine is practised around the world.
“ Arnie Schroeder.
I found that I was so very tired and weak all the time. I had an awful lot of chemo and 10 days of radiation (all on the head). My protocol for
treatment was 2 years starting Nov 1, 2003
August 17, 2004 my friend, Fausta Magee, in Vancouver called me. She has Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia and for that type she can't take
chemo or radiation. She was going downhill. We chatted for about an hour and a half, crying on each others shoulders. She had developed a
bunch of swollen lymph nodes, said she had lived a good life and if this is what the Good Lord had in mind for her she was ready to go. She was
planning her funeral.
One week later she called me, all excited, saying "I've got my life back". After talking to her I said "Whatever you're on, I want". A friend had
sent her a package of Immunotec's HMS 90 and she took it for a week ( 4 pkg a day)
When I got my box Sept 1, 2004 I was also taking 4 pkg a day and after the 5th day, I couldn't control myself, I wanted to do so much. I hadn't
done anything for a year because I was always so weak and tired. I had had constant care from my family. They came and lived with me to look
after me. That day I painted my guest room, ceilings, closet and all. I moved furniture back and forth. I washed the windows and did a thorough
vacuum job.
My daughter, Lorna couldn't believe that I could be doing all that, so she phoned my sister Mary & they came to see for themselves. (it's a 5+ hour
drive for Mary.) Since they phoned and said they were coming, I had to do the decorating too and put up the curtains and got new bedding on, got
pictures on the walls, to pretty it up. I had worked from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night. When they arrived at 11pm, Lorna said, "You don't
even look tired mom" I said, "I'm not". A week earlier, I could only have washed the window or vacuumed the room.
I have been full of energy since. It has definitely changed my life and I am so grateful that my friend Fausta told me about it. I now have to tell
everyone. I have made it my mission to help people with their health, wealth and happiness.
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 Hula

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.
- 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!
Hi Dr. Petrosino,
I am Jimmy Tan, distributor of Immunocal in Malaysia. I would like to present 2 testimonial on Immunocal.
1) Prostate Cancer: A 66 year old male medical report on 25/08/2001 showed Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) : 5.4v ng/ml & Prostatic specific
antigen : 21.7v ng/ml. And doctor recommended him for chemotheraphy. He went to another doctor for a 2nd opinion and was advised to take
Immunocal from 28/08/2001 (20gm per day). He went for check-up after 30 days and the report showed CEA : 3.0ng/ml & PSA 4.9h ng/ml. After 53
days, he went for another check-up and the medical report showed CEA : 2.5 ng/ml & PSA : 2.8 ng/ml. At 95 days, another medical report showed
CEA 2.5 ng/ml & PSA 2.1 ng/ml. The doctor said that he is totally cancer-free.
2) A 41 year-old male diagnosed with Hepatitis B Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): Reactive & Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatiod Factor : 617
IU/ML on 1 Sept 2001. He started on Immunocal immediately and after 90 days, the new medical report showed HBsAg: Positive & Rheumatiod
Factor : Negative These claims can be supported by medical reports from recognised Medical Labortories in Malaysia.
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.
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”!

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.
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”.
"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.
Welcome
I have a tremendous passion for Immunocal and Immunotec Research Ltd., and here are my reasons:
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
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.

Belle River, ON. Canada
Thursday, August 24, 2000 was the beginning of a brand new life. I took my first pouch of IMMUNOCAL in the morning, one in the afternoon. No
reaction.
The next morning I took a pouch of IMMUNOCAL and one in the afternoon. A couple of hours later, I began to eliminate black fluid, which continued
on for a total of six sessions the same day. I took one pouch on Saturday and one on Sunday with the same thing happening, diminishing in
intensity.
By Monday August 28th, the poisons were flushed out of my system and a new person emerged. It was a new morning! I went back to two pouches
per day of IMMUNOCAL.
A LIFE OF HELL!
The nightmare began in October 1997 when I fell and jolted my body. I had pain in the right hip that became progressively worse. Unfortunately, no
physician diagnosed this pain which was in fact emanating from the spine and I actually cancelled hip surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital. One doctor
after the other was looking at only the hip.
Then I tried a succession of different pain medications, and since I was walking with 2 steel crutches hooked on my forearm, I was losing the use of
my legs. I was on the road to being permanently crippled. My wonderful husband, John, newly retired, drove me back and forth to work from
Brooklyn to Queens, making 2 round trips a day. I wasn’t able to dress myself. Putting on stockings was impossible.
Refusing to accept this “no life” existence, I went to the Rehab doctor at Elmhurst Hospital Center where I worked in the Department of
Anesthesiology. After several months of physical therapy on my legs, (and my arms – which also were affected by the fall) the Rehab doctor said
now that my muscles were stronger, there was nothing more they could do. She felt badly about the pain persisting and suggested acupuncture.
Acupuncture treatment was in its infancy at the hospital where I worked. Blessedly it helped; I responded very quickly – and went twice a week for
several months. I was almost totally pain free. It only lasted as long as the acupuncture treatments. I was back in pain. Because my desk at
hospital was so busy, I made that the priority and went haphazardly and acupuncture did not work.
Then, in late August 1999, I began to get pain from the back of the top of my other leg radiating down to the foot, and numbness was developing in
both legs and feet. In a matter of a couple of weeks of medications, epidurals, I was again in a hopeless condition. Now, I was experiencing
deadly, relentless pain and I preferred death. Through the intervention of an anesthesiologist, who was also a neurologist, and who knew
immediately my problem was neurological, I finally was diagnosed and helped. On October 5, 1999, I was operated on my spine, three vertebrae, by
a wonderful neurosurgeon at New York University Medical Center. I came out of the surgery with flying colors; in four days I was home, no pain, no
medications.
Five weeks later, on my first post-op visit to the surgeon, I, again, could not step on my right leg. PAIN! The doctor said I could always go back into
the OR. (It just was not my destiny to be free of all this.) I did not want more surgery! Something in my gut told me it wouldn’t come out the same
as the first surgery. Since it was the L5-S1 vertebrae (the tail) I knew it would not be an easy rehabilitation. The memory of the road back from the
trauma of surgery is vivid after having had five serious operations on the legs and spine.
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.
In August 2000, a week and a half after my talk with the doctor, a friend of mine, Michael Blinick, whom I hadn’t spoken to in over a year, called to
see how I was doing. I told him of my condition and said I was going to die of stomach cancer if not because of the spine. I had no life and I would
prefer leaving this misery.
He said he could get me help right away. In three days I had IMMUNOCAL and here are the dramatic results:
• I got off the pain medications immediately without having to wean off. I did not have any withdrawal symptoms and no longer walked
around in a dazed condition.
• I stopped taking Prevacid, antacid.
• By the detoxification, the pains in my abdomen disappeared immediately and completely. I haven’t had anything but a normal
elimination since then.
• The inflammation has greatly subsided in the spine and hip staving off surgery until today. I still have spinal stenosis. If I do need
surgery, I’ll be able to tolerate it and be better prepared.
• I had had a vascular problem for several years with “black and chronic swollen feet” and wore
Surgical stockings when I could put them on. The acupuncturist noticed on the Tuesday after I
started IMMUNOCAL, “Your feet are normal.” I hadn’t been paying attention because of the
other problems. No more need for stockings.
• This is the first year since 1993 when I had pneumonia, that I haven’t taken a flu shot. No usual
“Winter cold/virus.”
7. My chronic acute sinus condition is GONE.
I have been taking two to four pouches of IMMUNOCAL every day. Because I’m still on Coumadin and cannot take Vitamin E, I’m just taking one B
Complex tablet, and 2-3 Vitamin Cs daily along with IMMUNOCAL.
Since taking IMMUNOCAL to build my immune system, I have energy I haven’t had since my twenties. Also, I found by taking a third pouch, I feel
even stronger, and my body has begun to correct little things like a small growth, the size of a pencil’s eraser, on my skin on the inside of my arm.
One morning, about three months ago, I went to finger it and screamed to my husband that it’s gone. All I have left is a small dot of skin
discoloration as a memory.
I’m so happy to be alive. My life has been a great joy with my newfound health. Now I am sharing my experience with IMMUNOCAL with everyone,
with the world. So many people, all with different medical challenges, are now changing their lives with IMMUNOCAL through me. What a blessing
for all of us! March 20, 2001
Nancy saw her urologist yesterday. What has happened needs some perspective. Some of this you may have heard before in a different context.
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.
Jim Spencer didn’t come to Immunotec Research the usual way. He was working as a photographer and advertising consultant when approached
by an associate to produce a campaign for Immunocal in the United States. The US government had just approved Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement status for Immunocal. Jim needed to do some research in order to properly sell the company and its products. What he read
convinced him that Immunotec was home to a breakthrough.
In January of 1999, Jim called six friends and convinced them to travel with him to Immunotec’s Home Office in Montreal. They left 80 temperatures
in Florida for a frigid -30 in Quebec. Thankfully, the reception at Immunotec was a warm one! The group spent an entire day with Chuck Roberts,
John Molson and Dr. Gustavo Bounous. They toured the facilities, asked questions and looked at the company’s direction with regard to its
compensation plan. Fortunately, Dieter Beer and Dr. Jimmy Gutman happened to be in the office that day, and Jim and his group had the privilege
of first-class exposure to the company and its principals.
Jim arrived back at his home near Miami, determined to make a concerted effort to build an Immunotec business.
The first person he really wanted to test the product on was his mother-in-law. She was the reason that Jim had originally moved to Florida from his
home in New York. She was virtually bed-ridden, disabled by fibromyalgia, arthritis and osteoporosis. Jim had purchased a large home and moved
her in with his family. Although she was enduring painful cortisone shots every six weeks, she refused to try Immunocal because it hadn’t been
prescribed by her doctor. So each day for the next 3 months Jim mixed up an Immunocal drink and took it himself.
Jim’s wife, his mother-in-law and the children all suffered the multiple discomforts of the seasonal onslaught: fatigue, nausea, aches and pains and
fever. At least one out of every 10 Americans comes down with the flu each year, usually between late fall and early spring, but having been on
Immunocal for three months, Jim was not affected at all. After noticing this, and when she recovered from the flu, Jim’s mother-in-law decided to try
Immunocal too. Over the next ninety days Jim observed a transformation in her. The symptoms that had limited her movements began to
disappear. She started to do chores around the house – sweeping the kitchen and tidying up after the children. She ventured outside and began to
shop again. In her fifth month on the product, she bought her own house … and moved out!
In the years since Jim has been with Immunotec, he’s seen a dramatic increase in his sales organization. With recent changes to the Compensation
Plan, he knows that a great deal more growth is on the horizon. Since its inception in May of 2002, Jim has been an active member of Immunotec’s
Achievers Club. Immunotec audiences have benefited from the in-depth product knowledge he shares while touring North America with Jim Britt,
headlining at Health/Wealth Seminars.
Aside from the obvious benefit – hey, his mother-in-law did move out! - Jim enjoys the freedom his Immunotec business affords him. He can travel,
pursue his personal interests and take time to spend with his wife and children.
Next time you talk to Jim about his Immunotec experience, you’ll know why he’s really smiling
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.
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
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.

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)

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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

My name is David Vaught and I am an Insulin dependent diabetic and a cancer survivor, (thank you
Immunocal). I also use XtraSharp on a daily basis. It gives me energy, stamina and 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.

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.
Debbie Quincey, Ontario Canada
My name is Wellington E. Watts, II, and I live in Glassboro, N.J. and am presently teaching at Ambassador Christian Academy. Since I write music
too, naturally my slogan has become: Don't BFlat when you can BSharp -- XSharp!
I begin each morning at 6:00am with breakfast. I take about 2 tablespoons of XSharp around 6:15am. I arrive at school about 7:45am. I have a lot of
energy for the day. It gives me an advantage with the class because I have the energy to keep two steps ahead of them. At the end of the day, I still
feel good and not depleted of energy.
What is significant about this is the contrast with last year. I would run out of energy by noon at times. When I got home, I'd hit the recliner for about a
30 minute nap -- totally exhausted. At 60 I now feel energetic and productive. I don't know how what I'm about to say fits, but something unusual has
happened. Saturday I returned home from getting my hair cut. My wife Nancy said,” I don't believe this. I see new hair coming in and its black. You
are not nearly as gray." What's doing this I don't know, but I'll take this little extra perk! This is what I take --
• 6:15 am -- two tablespoons of XSharp
• 3:15pm (About) -- 2 packets of Immunocal in a little OJ
• 6:15pm (About) -- 1 tablespoon of Magistral
I use the face cream on two marks on my face I had removed. Thank God they were not cancerous or precancerous. The marks have almost faded
away since August. I take the calcium and the multiple as well. This is my everyday not-so-dramatic story of just plain feeling good! "I FEEL GOOD!"
I'm not a morning person. Like, really, really not a morning person. So, I tried XtraSharp in the morning. Five minutes later, I was dancing in the
shower. I never dance in the shower. I never dance! I love this stuff. Now it's part of my daily morning routine.
Hawk, Southern California
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
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
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:
¾ Headaches and migraines
¾ Heavy menstrual bleeding to the point of being “anemia”
¾ Pre Menstrual syndrome, cramping to the point of heavy painkillers prescribed
¾ Mood swings
¾ Depression
¾ Anxiety
¾ Severe tumors/cysts in uterus and surrounding the cervix area
¾ Lack of energy
¾ 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.

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.
¾ 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.
6. What is the source of whey? Does the milk contain antibiotics or steroids?
¾ 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.
10. How much caffeine is in one scoop, recognizing that it is made from cocoa?
¾ The amount of caffeine in the product is low and should not cause any side effects.
13. Some users of Prycena have complained of constipation after taking the product. What would be a suggested course of
remedial action?
¾ 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.
¾ A Drink replacement – How long can you go before you have to ‘eat’ food?
¾ Restrict foods you can eat – Deprived of the foods you like to eat?
¾ 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!
¾ Have stimulating drugs, herbs or caffeine – side effects can be nasty and even deadly!
¾ NO SIDE EFFECTS!
¾ 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!
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.

You’ve probably heard it by now … MANY people are losing weight with Prycena! And they’re doing it in a
unique way; they’re making Prycena ice cream! The idea first came from
Keith Hooper who enjoyed ice cream and decided to try making his own version with Prycena. His idea
worked and now he’s enjoying his delicious Prycena ice cream treat and melting away - he's lost an amazing
55 pounds in 17 weeks! Interested in whipping up a batch of your own?
Combine 18 ounces of milk - regular, soy, or chocolate (for even more delicious flavor) with 3 scoops of
Prycena in an ice cream maker and voila … a delicious frozen treat that will help you shed unwanted pounds.
A BMI of 27 or greater is approximately 20% above ideal weight. This is where the presence of risk factors begin to occur. A BMI of 30 or greater is
approximately 30% above ideal weight, otherwise known as obesity.
You can also use the following formula if you are outside the range of the table.
Example: for a person who is 65 inches (165 cm) tall weighing 150 lbs (68 kg).
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
I started the Prycena Dec 19/ 05 about 2 ½ weeks ago. In this time I have lost 5 pounds, and 2 inches. I feel great and looking forward in achieving
my goal of losing 25 pounds in total. Will update when I have done this!
Protein toothpaste
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

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.

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.
“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.

¾ • 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.
¾ • 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.
¾ • 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.
¾ 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.
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."
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.
LIPOIC ACID
Lipoic acid occurs naturally in the body but is also found on the shelves of health food stores. It is known that as
glutathione molecules neutralize free radicals they gradually become oxidized, but lipoic acid can replenish its antioxidant
powers by converting it back to a reduced form. It is still being investigated by scientists.
WHEY PROTEINS
Whey, a large group of proteins, is a constituent of milk from humans and other mammals, and under ideal circumstances contains the building-
blocks of glutathione. Many whey products are marketed to health-conscious people but they vary greatly in their protein content, their concentration,
the forms of proteins present, and other factors that affect the product's bioactivity (biological action).
Perhaps the most important criterion of all is the extent of the product's protein denaturation - a breakdown in the protein structure. This reduces its
potential bioactivity in the body without affecting its food value. In addition, many nutritionists point out that the fat or lactose content of whey
products may still be high enough to cause concern. Others have reservations about the milk industry and its liberal use of antibiotics and steroids to
boost production. Also, we cannot ignore the very real issue of fat-soluble and water-soluble environmental toxins passing into the milk.
The whey content of truly fresh milk contains such potent glutathione building blocks as lactoferrin, beta-lactalbumin and serum albumin - all easily
denatured by heat or mechanical agitation. Pasteurization and other industrial processes tend to denature milk products and by the time they reach
your table their bioactivity is lost. To maintain the bioactivity of glutathione precursors whey proteins must be extracted from milk with special means,
and careful monitoring is essential. Whey products may contain anything from 20% to 90% protein. These proteins vary greatly in their make-up as
well as the extent to which their glutathione precursors are denatured. So, although some whey proteins are bioactive, most are not.
Healthy people also benefit from elevated glutathione levels through an enhanced ability to fight off toxins, infectious disease, pre-cancerous cells
and the aging process itself. Diminished glutathione levels are a symptom of aging and are particularly evident in such ailments as Parkinson's
disease and Alzheimer's disease.
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.

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.

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." - Penny Spokes. Read a section from Chapter 1:
Amino Acids,Glutathione and Optimal Health
Over 30 papers discuss the techniques and findings of investigating the level and function of the peptide glutathione in cells. It has been associated
with such functions as antioxidant defense, the regulation of metabolic pathways, hormonal action, the detoxification of xenobiotics, the maintenance
of cell structure, and more recently with nutrition, aging, and immunology.
This new resource captures the excitement of a new field in neuroscience, describing the history and chemistry of glutathione in relation to
antioxidant defenses and oxidative stress. This book provides an overview of the glutathione molecule and its various roles and makes far-reaching
predictions about the potential role of glutathione in the nervous system. The specific topics include the discovery of the GSH receptor in hydra and
its evolutionary significance, the regulation of apoptosis in the nervous system, the role of altered glutathione status in the development of
Parkinson's disease, and free-radical toxicity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Glutathione S-Transferases: Structure, Function, and Clinical Implications Edited by: N. P. Vermeulen, et al.

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.
