How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics: A top MD shares safe alternatives that work, some better than antibiotics

Keith Scott-Mumby

The “Golden Age” Of Antibiotics Is Over!Deadly new organisms, resistant to all known antibiotics, are emerging all over the planet and gaining ground FAST…It’s over! The truth is, the comfortable world as we have known it for the last 60 years is coming rapidly to an end.

Bacteria are deadly and the short period of time where we were able to control them is vanishing fast. Because of their fantastic power of multiplication (doubling every 20 minutes or so), that new strain could be all over the Earth within months, or even weeks. You’ve heard of MRSA, everyone has heard of MRSA. But did you know that in 2009 an even more virulent new strain of MRSA emerged, that is FIVE TIMES more deadly and kills 50% of its victims?

But it’s not just MRSA. Now we have VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococcus), which is far more deadly than MRSA (100% fatal septicemia). Also we now have PRSP (penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae). It is reported that out of 100,000 hospitalizations for pneumonia, 40% are now due to this organism! And don’t forget, resistant syphilis is back on the loose. Syphilis (Lues) was one of the most feared of all diseases for centuries and kept young men and women in terror of the act of sexual union. Our old enemy TB is on the prowl too, with a new strain which is classed MDR (multiple-drug resistant).

In Germany in the summer of 2011 A deadly new strain of E. Coli emerged, that is highly resistant to antibiotics and killed hundreds in Europe on it’s unstoppable rampage. If you are not worried about this deteriorating position, you should be. False reliance on drugs and pharma medicine has proven to be a weak strategy: the game is LOST! The Truth Is: You can’t hold back bacteria. They are too overwhelmingly numerous and powerful.

But there is GOOD news… In the days before antibiotics not everyone died of their infections. There were scores of great, workable non-drug solutions to infections. These remedies still work! You need to get to know them, get re-acquainted with our folklore and natural heritage again and fast. You never know when the next outbreak will sweep your neighborhood. It’s important to strengthen your immune defenses, of course. But you also need to go on a short education course of learning what your antibiotic-alternative options are.

To make it easy for you, Dr. Keith has compiled a comprehensive report of all the suitable alternatives, with scientific studies to support them. You’ll be amazed just how many humble home remedies and plant-based solutions have been studied scientifically and demonstrated to work effectively. PLUS, he has given you lots of very modern possibilities that were not even dreamed of in the era before antibiotics.

This is the AUTHORITY report you have been waiting for. Dr. Keith is well known for demanding minimum scientific standards, not just myth, “wise woman stories” and ignorant conjecture.

Natural Cures Seen for Autism and Cancer

From Mimi – This was shared with me recently and I think it is a well written summary of the development of GcMAF beginning in 2015. See my updates in [brackets]

When Dr. Jeff Bradstreet unexpectedly and tragically died in the spring of 2015, many of us wondered what would happen to the research he was doing with GcMAF, Goleic, and Bravo yogurt, which he was using to help children with autism. To my great pleasure, I am pleased to report that the research has continued, and treatment options have been expanded. We are now seeing even more powerful results for the treatment of autism, cancer, chronic Lyme, chronic fatigue syndrome, and various neurodegenerative diseases.

See our previously published article on Dr. Bradstreet’s Work and Death:

Is The U.S. Medical Mafia Murdering Alternative Health Doctors Who Have Real Cures Not Approved by the FDA?

Dr. Bradstreet’s previous research focused on the macrophage activating factors known as GcMAF and Goleic, which he used in his clinic. Dr. Bradstreet was able to help 3 out of 4 autistic children by treating them with GcMAF or Goleic. Approximately 20% to 25% of these children lost their autism diagnosis and another 50% experienced a reduction in autistic symptoms. [2, 3]

After the European manufacturing facility for GcMAF and Goleic was raided and closed down in the first months of 2015, Dr. Bradstreet focused his research on a special yogurt formula known as Bravo. The microbes in this yogurt produce molecules of GcMAF and a newly identified compound called Rerum. These molecules stimulate the immune system when this yogurt is eaten or taken as a suppository or enema. At the same time, the microbes in the Bravo yogurt restore the microbiome of the human gut and the microbiome in the human brain. [7]

[Today, Bravo yogurt is available to everyone at www.bravocoop.com]

Dr. Bradstreet learned about the existence of Rerum three days before his death, so he was not able to use this new macrophage activating factor in its synthesized form as he did with GcMAF and Goleic. Rerum is now being tested in clinics in Europe and is producing amazing results for many different health problems. [Rerum has since been improved in strength and is called imuno. Available at www.imunothesolution.com]

The newest research shows that when Bravo Yogurt and imuno are combined with the ketogenic diet, the power of the human body’s ability to heal itself is released. This therapeutic combination is now part of an autism treatment protocol, as well as being an essential part of a powerful protocol for reversing and eliminating late stage cancers.

This is a two-part series on using the combination therapy consisting of a ketogenic diet, imuno, and Bravo yogurt. Part 1 will focus on the results of a recent research study on this protocol and describe some of the basic science behind the treatments. Part 2 will provide information about how you can use the ketogenic diet, Bravo Yogurt, and imuno as treatments for illness.

How can Bravo, imuno, and the Ketogenic Diet Help both Autism and Cancer?

The answer to this question comes to us from scientists and medical providers who work in the medical field called “allgemeine pathologie.” They approach illness from a very different viewpoint. They are constantly thinking about how diseases are connected, and are looking for the common elements of illness, which could lead to the treatment of diverse illnesses with a single set of interventions.

In the U.S., most scientific investigations focus on researching and developing treatments for individual diseases. This practice results in compartmentalized medicine where diseases and their treatments are put into separate boxes as if they could not be connected.

Dr. Marco Ruggiero, M.D., PhD, has worked extensively in the field of allgemeine pathologie and the research he is conducting with his European and American colleagues is opening the door to powerful new approaches for treating illnesses as diverse as autism and cancer.

Dr. Ruggiero worked closely with Dr. Bradstreet in the U.S., and was the scientific adviser for Immuno Biotech, which developed and formerly manufactured GcMAF in Europe.

Dr. Ruggiero described Allgemeine pathologie during an online interview conducted by Clive de Carle [1] in 2016. (Dr. Ruggiero’s first language is Italian. His comments, as presented throughout this chapter, have been edited slightly to improve sentence construction.) Dr. Ruggiero stated:

It was about one hundred and fifty years ago when in Germany and in Italy, but not in the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept of Allgemeine pathologie was developed. In English you could loosely translate it as general pathology but this doesn’t render the sense. Allgemeine pathologie, according to those Italian and German medical scientists, [tells us that] all chronic diseases have something in common that was independent of their cause (etiology—the study of the cause) but was strictly related to the pathogenesis of the way they develop. In other words, they taught that if you take cancer, if you take neurodegenerative diseases, if you even take infectious chronic diseases, they all have something in common. They thought that if they found what all these different diseases had in common, they could find a cure for possibly all human diseases. They developed this concept that is still taught in Germany and in Italy.

When I was in medical school and even afterward, I had difficulty in explaining to my colleagues that I was working at the Institute of General Pathology. Everybody in England and in the USA thought that I was dealing with dissections because pathology in the United States and in England means the dissection [of bodies] to find out the cause of death.

Now one hundred and fifty years later we know that those researchers were right at the molecular level. We know that the human genome is made up of about 20,000 genes, but out of these 20,000 genes about 200, not more than 200, are responsible for most of the functions. So, you find that in diseases as diverse as cancer and autism the same genes are involved. At this point now that we know which genes are involved in diseases as diverse as cancer and autism, we can try to target those genes and restore their functions. [2, 3]

Research Findings for Late Stage Cancer

In a study published in December of 2016 in the American Journal of Immunology [4], Dr. Ruggiero and his colleagues from Germany and the U.S. reported the results of using complementary immunotherapy for treating late stage cancer with six patients. Their protocol combined the ketogenic diet, imuno, Bravo yogurt, and various other supplements.

The Ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat, moderate-protein diet, which deprives cancer cells of sugar, which is their fuel source. imuno is a nano-sized emulsion made of chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D3 and oleic acid. Bravo Yogurt is a fermented milk and colostrum product.

Other supplements given to these patients were: Vitamin D3 (10.000-20.000 I.U. per day), curcumin, omega-3, ubiquinol, arginine, multivitamins and a low-molecular weight pectin preparation. [The pectin has been updated into a new product called Edestiny using fermented hemp seed protein and is available here https://www.healthyenergetics.com/collections/bravo-edestiny/Edestiny]

According to the article, low-molecular weight pectin inhibits the growth and metastasis of gastrointestinal cancer cells. In addition, pectin is effective for removing toxins. Oral administration of pectin has been shown to lower lead toxicity in children without side effects.

The strategy used with the treatment of these patients focused on the use of a nutritional plan and food supplements that were designed to stimulate the immune system and fight inflammation. Their approach produced low toxicity for patients and could be used in conjunction with conventional cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy.

All the patients described in this report were administered the emulsion called imuno, which which was called Rerum and was manufactured in Germany by Dr. Reinwald Healthcare. [5] It is classified and registered as a food supplement, because it is composed of well-known supplements that have been in use for decades. The emulsion was administered orally or parenterally according to the clinical judgment of the therapist in each individual case.

The authors of this study issued this general warning concerning their research findings. They stated:

…Caution must be employed in drawing a cause-effect relationship between treatment and clinical outcome. This is particularly true considering the limited number of cases reported in this study, their heterogeneity and the limited time of observation. In addition, even though some of the approaches described in this article, such as the ketogenic diet or the use of supplements, may be implemented without medical prescription in some countries, it is essential that the information presented in this study is not construed as medical advice and we always recommend that patients affected by diseases are supervised by competent therapists even when only nutrition is concerned. [4]

The results of their patient studies are summarized in the following 6 case studies.

Case 1: Ovarian Cancer with Metastases in the Liver

A 70-year old woman with ovarian cancer had multiple metastases in the liver and the peritoneum. She had been treated with multiple cycles of conventional chemotherapy. This reduced the size of the peritoneal metastases but was ineffective against the liver metastases. The patient had developed severe neuropathy possibly as a consequence of chemotherapy and she could not walk for more than 30 feet due to extreme pain and fatigue. She had been labeled “incurable” by her conventional doctor.

After about five weeks of treatment with the nutritional immunotherapeutic approach, a PET scan no longer detected appreciable size liver metastasis. Blood analyses showed an elevated level of circulating monocytes (8.1%). The normal range is 3% to 10%. This supports the hypothesis that the integrated approach described above stimulated the immune system with particular reference to the monocyte-macrophage arm of immunity. Activation of macrophages following the subcutaneous administration of the emulsion described above was also confirmed by color-doppler ultrasonography.

The patient also had a decrease in her score for Transketolase-Like 1 (TKTL1). TKTL1 plays a crucial role in ovarian cancer metabolism and its expression predicts poor prognosis. Therefore, a decrease in the expression of TKTL1 may be interpreted as a sign of decreased aggressiveness of the cancer itself.

Case 2: Prostate Cancer

A 63-year old man with prostate adenocarcinoma, osteoporosis, and esophagitis was treated with the nutritional immunotherapeutic approach. He had previously been treated with radiation therapy, and a MRI scan showed residual tumor lesion.

After about four weeks of treatment with the nutritional-immunotherapeutic approach, his Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) was significantly decreased from 95 to 0.8. This was a return to a normal value.

During this time, he also received 3 subcutaneous anti-androgen injections from the Department of Urology of the University of Bochum, Germany. The dramatic drop in his PSA was noticed after the first administration of anti-androgens. The patient indicated that the abrupt decrease puzzled the oncologists who were treating him, stating that it was the first time they had observed such an occurrence.

After 4 weeks of nutritional-immunotherapeutic treatment, imaging studies showed significant reduction of the tumor mass. It appeared encapsulated with no metabolic activity. The percentage of circulating monocytes was close to the highest normal values (9.2%). Normal value is 3–10%. Activation of macrophages following subcutaneous administration of the emulsion described above was confirmed by color- doppler ultrasonography. Cumulative TKTL1 and Apo10 scores were decreased and, at the end of the treatment, both scores where within the normal values.

Case 3: Breast Cancer

A 66-year old woman had breast adenocarcinoma, gallstones, colitis and atrial fibrillation. Prior to nutritional-immunotherapeutic treatment, an ultrasound measurement of her tumor showed that it was 0.4 cubic centimeters in volume. Preliminary evidence indicated that after three weeks of the nutritional-immunotherapeutic approach, the tumor measured 0.1 cubic centimeters (a reduction of 75%). There was also a normalization of the cumulative Apo10 score (value: 123) that was consistent with the observed reduction in tumor size.

Case 4: Cancer of the Esophagus with Lung Metastases

A 55-year old man was diagnosed with recurrences of adenocarcinoma and adenosarcoma of the esophagus with lung metastases. These recurrences appeared after a previous surgical intervention, which targeted these lesions. The patient had been labeled “incurable.” The prognosis for esophagus cancer is quite poor with mostpatients dying within the first year after diagnosis.

After about eight months of implementation of the nutritional-immunotherapeutic treatment, the local lesions appear stable and encapsulated with no signs of progression. A CT scan of the thorax performed after about eight months did not detect lung lesions. The general condition of the patient significantly improved, and his feeding tube was removed, because it was no longer needed. The patient reported that the Specialists at the University of Dusseldorf, Germany, who removed the feeding tube were utterly puzzled by the unexpected positive outcome.

Case 5: Pulmonary Nodule

A 59-year old man was diagnosed one year earlier with a pulmonary nodule of unknown origin. The patient declined the recommended surgery to remove the nodule, and chose to use a variety of other approaches, which included: low-dose naltrexone, coffee enemas, quercetin, multivitamins, oregano oil, and minerals. The patient continued to use medications for hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and hypothyroidism. Tumor markers such as Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA), Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), CA 19-9, CA 27-29 and CA 15-3 were within the normal limits.

The level of the serum enzyme Nagalase was significantly elevated when the patient decided to implement the nutritional immunotherapeutic approach. His Nagalase was 3.10 Units, which was well above the reference range of 0.32-0.95 Units. Nagalase is used as a tumor marker, a marker of inflammation, and a marker of bacterial infection.

The patient’s Nagalase level was measured six months after implementing the nutritional immunotherapeutic therapy and it fell to 1.34 Units), which is approaching the normal value. These results indicate that the immunotherapeutic approach adopted by the patient was effective in decreasing the level of serum Nagalase in a manner consistent with what has been reported for other types of cancer.

Case 6: Bile Duct Cancer

Dr. Steve Hines from the Hope Wellness Center in San Angelo, Texas, reported his experiences with a 73-year-old woman with cholangiocarcinoma (common bile duct cancer). She was suffering with epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and pitting edema in both feet. Her oncologist stated she was not a candidate for surgery and did not offer any treatment or hope for recovery. The tumor measured 5 cm by 6.5 cm.

We recommended the patient order 3 vials of the imuno emulsion. She was instructed to take 0.5 cc once daily for 5 days, then take 2 days off. One week later, when she returned to the clinic for other therapies, Dr. Hines asked her about her epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting and pitting edema. She answered, “No pain, no nausea, no vomiting and only a minor edema in the feet.” When she was asked how much product she was taking, she said she had finished all 3 vials the previous week. The 3 ampoules she had should have lasted for at least a few months, but she had already taken them all in one week! She had misunderstood the dosing recommendations and had taken 1 ampoule sublingually each day for 3 days in a row. Now, 6 months later, she still feels just fine and is living a normal life.

Autism is not an Incurable Illness

The occurrence of autism is rapidly rising among our children, and many parents are rejecting the “incurable” prognosis. The components of the complementary treatments described in the previous study also can be used for autism with great success.

Dr. Ruggiero was a close collaborator of Dr. Bradstreet and his pioneering work with autism treatment. Dr. Ruggiero reiterates the truth about autism. He stated:

I think that one of the worst things that can happen to the parent of an autistic child is to be given a final diagnosis as if autism was something forever—something that could not be improved. This has been demonstrated over and over again—when I say demonstrated, I mean you can find on PubMed that the symptoms of autism can be significantly improved with many children fully returning to a completely normal life. And, in the end, they will prove themselves to be smarter and brighter than their peers. …

We don’t yet have the cure that will absolutely work for all children — we are far away from that. … Sometimes we are lucky, and we can see results in a matter of hours other times it may take years. It is not wishful thinking—it is not a hope, it is a certainty that autism can be significantly helped.

We now have many [formerly autistic] children going back to normal school.

One year ago, a good friend of mind, Ms. Brianna, came with me on stage toward the end of my presentation [at the AutismOne Conference] and she reported the case of her son, who was diagnosed with severe autism. She explained that after only a few months of treatment with Bravo, he was able to go back to a normal classroom.

I can tell you that one year later he is now the smartest guy in his class. He is always in the top 90% of results in his class. Not only have we been able to help this child, but he is constantly improving and he may be needing a special class [in the future], but for specially gifted children. He is developing faster than his peers. [2, 3]

Ms. Brianna describes how her son was helped with a combination of the ketogenic diet, Bravo Yogurt, and imuno. Her presentation starts about 75% through the following presentation given by Dr. Ruggiero.

A Healthy Brain Requires a Healthy Gut

Dr. Ruggiero describes the gut/brain connection. He stated:

Just before Dr. Bradstreet tragically passed away, he made a discovery that had been ignored for the past thousands of years by the anatomists. He discovered that the brain lymphatic system was instrumental in carrying microbes from the gut into the brain. We do have microbes in our brain, and in fact when we have these microbes we are perfectly healthy. I am not talking about pathogenic microbes like those that cause encephalitis or meningitis. I am talking about the microbes that constitute our gut microflora and in more general our human microbiome.

We all know that we have microbes in our gut. We all know that we have microbes on our skin and on our mucosa everywhere, but until we published this paper with Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, [6] people thought the brain was a rather sterile organ in the absence of infectious disease. Now we know that this is not the case. There are the same microbes in our brain that we find in our gut. The two words brain and microbiome had never been put together until the publication of our paper in the journal called Frontiers of Human Neuro-science.

The influence of these microbes on the functioning and the development of the brain is immense, because they produce a number of molecules that influence the functioning of neurons and glial cells.

In autism, as in neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation is present in lymph nodes located inside the neck called the deep cervical nodes. Because of this inflammation, circulation is hampered and the lymph from the brain cannot drain. [This means] there cannot be a recirculation of microbes between the gut and the brain, and toxins and neuronal bodies and all types of junk accumulate in the brain. Eventually this leads to all the dysfunctions that we observe in neurodegenerative diseases as well as in autism.

Another important point is that these microbes don’t travel all by themselves from the gut to the brain. They are carried by macrophages. [2, 3]

Macrophages and Macrophage Activating Factor

Dr. Ruggiero described the functions of macrophages and their ability to orchestrate the activities of the immune system. He stated:

Macrophages are cells of the immune system. Their name arises from the old Greek “macro” which means big, and “phage” which means eater. They are relatively big cells and they eat. What do they eat? Essentially whatever they find. They eat cells infected by viruses. They eat cancer cells. They eat pathogenic microbes. Their role is essentially of sentinels of the immune system. … Their first goal is to set-up the first line of defense in other words to detect the threat and then to tell the other cells of the immune system, notably the T and B lymphocytes, how to address that threat.

If, however, you don’t have enough macrophages, if they are not well nourished, if they don’t have enough tools in their kit, then you cannot count on an efficient first line of defense. This is when cancer arises or when neuro-degenerative or neuro- inflammatory infections take over.

There are a number of macrophage activating factors, both protein and non-protein. They increase the number of macrophages and activate them. So essentially this is … what macrophage activating factors such as GcMAF or like imuno do.

Three Steps for Restoring Normal Brain Activity

Dr. Ruggiero explained that there are three basic steps for treating people with neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental diseases such as autism. These are in addition to the use of the ketogenic diet. Macrophages are designed to move freely through the lymphatic system and to enter the brain.

Dr. Ruggiero stated:

First of all, you need to have a good array of microbes in your gut otherwise you have a very bad starting point. If your gut microflora is made of pathogenic microbes or an over-growth of yeast or other pathogenic microbes, that is bad, because those microbes will end up in your brain and it won’t be good.

For this reason you have to reconstitute your gut microflora—your healthy core human microbiome. This can be rather easily achieved with Bravo yogurt used as a regular drinking yogurt or in some cases used as a suppository or as an enema. [Healthy Energetics has seen great result with yogurt on the skin.]

At this point you need to unclog the deep cervical nodes so that the lymph from the brain can easily recirculate. Now you can do this in two ways. You can use the Bravo yogurt inside the throat as yogurt or use the imuno as a cream applied to the neck and/or imuno systemically through a nebulizer.

Using the imuno as a spray such as from a nebulizer or from other means will reduce the inflammation at the level of the deep cervical nodes and will reactivate the circulation of lymph and the imuno will also activate the macrophages.

The activated macrophages will become like trucks loaded with microbes—in this case—good microbes. They will carry the good microbes from the gut into the brain. This will reconstitute the brain microbiome. [2, 3]

[Mimi has also experienced the “trucks” loaded with heavy metal from the brainstem coming down the spine to remove it through the colon. Was that also the macrophages?]

Summary: Insuring a Source of Healthy Microbes for the Gut and the Brain

The good microbes that are in the Bravo yogurt are designed to provide people with the primary set of microorganisms that can be found in a healthy baby. The Bravo Yogurt also contains molecules of activating factors that motivate the macrophages so they can transport these healthy microbes into the brain through the lymphatic system. The ketogenic diet provides many benefits among which is the proper nutrition that is needed to support a healthy population of microbes throughout the body. High consumption of carbohydrates feeds pathogenic microorganisms in the body and allows them to dominate the microbiome. This imbalance leads to inflammation, which inhibits proper detoxification and the proliferation of many different diseases. Rerum is present in Bravo Yogurt and can also be used as a supplement. It decreases inflammation and activates the activity of macrophages. It also contains ingredients that are known to have anti-cancer properties.

A Quick Look at the Next Chapter

In the next chapter, we will look at the specific details about how we can use the ketogenic diet, Bravo yogurt, and imuno for the treatment of various illnesses.

PART TWO

How to Cure Cancer, Autism, and other Neurodegenerative Diseases without Toxic Drugs

Dr. Marco Ruggiero. Image source.
Steps for Using the Ketogenic Diet, Bravo, and imuno for Various Diseases

Effective treatments for chronic illnesses such as cancer do not need to be expensive and they don’t need to have life-threatening side effects. In Part 1 of this two-part article I reviewed the positive results of a research study for cancer treatment that combined the ketogenic diet, Bravo Yogurt, and a newly formulated macrophage activating factor called imuno. Research showed that this immunotherapeutic approach has successfully reversed late stage cancer.

This same approach has proven to be effective for treating autism and neurodegenerative diseases as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chronic Lyme.

In the previous chapter, I introduced Dr. Marco Ruggiero, M.D., PhD, who worked closely with the pioneering autism researcher Dr. Jeff Bradstreet to develop highly effective autism treatments. Earlier in his career, Dr. Ruggiero was a scientist at the National Cancer Institutes. His research involving the use of natural compounds to treat cancer now spans three decades. His scientific training in Italy was rooted in an area of medical research called “allgemeine pathologie.” Those who work in this field of study seek to find links between different chronic illnesses, and to find the common treatments that will restore health for many seemingly unrelated diseases. This is in sharp contrast to the approach used by most researchers in America who seek a unique treatment for every individual disease.

The comments from Dr. Ruggiero were taken from online interviews conducted by Clive de Carle [1] in 2016. Dr. Ruggiero’s first language is Italian, and I have edited his remarks by adjusting sentence structure and making minor adjustments in grammar.

Nutrition is the First Step for Healing Autism, Cancer, and other Diseases

Dr. Ruggiero and his colleagues begin their treatment approach with a ketogenic diet. This is a very low carbohydrate, high fat, and moderate-protein diet. It is ketogenic because when the carbs are kept very low and protein is not too high, then the body will switch from a dependence on burning glucose for energy and will start burning ketones. This is especially important for cancer treatment, because cancer cells thrive on glucose. A ketogenic diet will keep glucose levels in the blood as low as possible, thus depriving cancer cells of their energy source, while properly feeding all other normal healthy cells in the body with ketones. [2]

Using ketones as a constant source of energy is not a departure from normal metabolism, but in fact is the normal form of human metabolism. Our body actually prefers ketone metabolism over glucose metabolism and thrives when burning ketones. We also suffer from much less chronic illness when glucose producing foods are severely restricted. [3]

Anssi H. Manninen, MHS, a Finnish exercise physiologist specializing in sports nutrition, describes dietary ketosis. He stated:

During very low carbohydrate intake, the regulated and controlled production of ketone bodies causes a harmless physiological state known as dietary ketosis. Ketone bodies flow from the liver to extra-hepatic tissues (e.g., brain) for use as a fuel; this spares glucose metabolism via a mechanism similar to the sparing of glucose by oxidation of fatty acids as an alternative fuel. In comparison with glucose, the ketone bodies are actually a very good respiratory fuel. Indeed, there is no clear requirement for dietary carbohydrates for human adults. [emphasis added] Interestingly, the effects of ketone body metabolism suggest that mild ketosis may offer therapeutic potential in a variety of different common and rare disease states. [4]

Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Dietary Ketosis are Very Different

It should be understood that diabetic ketoacidosis and dietary ketosis are two very different conditions. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening condition that is set in motion when diabetics consume a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet and do not have enough insulin. It only occurs when blood sugar is too high and insulin too low. Dietary ketosis, on the other hand occurs when people eat a low-carb high-fat diet, which is not harmful even for diabetics. Anssi Manninen further explained the differences:

Diabetic patients know that the detection in their urine of the ketone bodies is a danger signal that their diabetes is poorly controlled. Indeed, in severely uncontrolled diabetes, if the ketone bodies are produced in massive supranormal quantities, they are associated with ketoacidosis. In this life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus, the acids 3-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid are produced rapidly, causing high concentrations of protons, which overwhelm the body’s acid-base buffering system. However, during very low carbohydrate intake, the regulated and controlled production of ketone bodies causes a harmless physiological state known as dietary ketosis. In ketosis, the blood pH remains buffered within normal limits. [4]

Many type 1 and type 2 diabetics are able to manage their conditions without pharmaceutical assistance by using a low-carb high-fat diet, which keeps them in a metabolic state of healthy ketosis. Dr. Tim Noakes, M.D., is one of the leading researchers in the world on the ketogenic lifestyle and has used the ketogenic diet to manage his own diabetes. [5] The state of ketosis is not harmful and is actually beneficial for those who have harmed their health by the consumption of a high carbohydrate diet, which sadly includes most all of us who were taught to believe that we would be healthier if we consumed a high-carb low-fat diet. The high-carb low-fat diet actually sets in motion a pattern of physiological decline that leads to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, which have come to dominate modern life over the past 40 years since the low-fat dietary guidelines were promoted.

The Foundation of Health Restoration is the Ketogenic Diet

Dr. Ruggiero described the powerful benefit of the ketogenic diet for addressing a wide variety of chronic illnesses. He stated:

Nutrition can account for up to 80% of the treatment in autism or in cancer, or in a number of other conditions. [6, 7]

The proof of whether a person has actually made the switch from glucose to ketones comes from measuring ketone levels in the blood. This is easily done with a ketone/glucose meter that has been manufactured for diabetic care. A drop of blood is taken and placed into the device and the meter will accurately measure the ketone level.

According to Dr. Ruggiero:

Forget about ketones in the urine. You want to measure blood ketones. If the blood ketones are above a certain threshold let’s say 0.5 or 0.7 you can be sure you are in ketosis, which is absolutely beneficial for the treatment of autism as well as cancer. [6, 7]

The Cost of a Ketogenic Diet is not Excessive

Many people raise an immediate objection to the ketogenic diet, because they say it costs too much. When you give up the expensive highly processed carbohydrate foods containing high sugar, high starch, low quality fats and oils, preservatives, artificial flavorings and colorings, etc., and substitute whole foods that can be prepared at home to make delicious and nourishing meals, the food budget will not increase.

The Ketogenic Diet Works for Both Autism and Cancer

Dr. Ruggiero describes how diet is linked to both autism and cancer. He stated:

“This is to tell you that the cure for cancer … and the cure for autism it is very simple and rather inexpensive, and you find it at the grocery store. Unfortunately, the cause of cancer can also be found at the grocery store. So, at this point it is up to you from which shelf you pick up your meal today.”

“The first time I was at the Congress for Complementary Cancer Therapy in Germany about three years ago I was astonished to learn that the cure for cancer can be at almost zero cost, and I fully agree. Now again I use very carefully the word cure so I hope you will forgive me because of my poor mastering of the English language because sometimes let me say things may be inappropriate. So, let’s say that the treatment for autism can be achieved at very little cost. For example, the first thing to be done with your child is to put the child on a ketogenic diet. This is very well assessed. As far as I know there are clinical trials right now in the United States assessing the efficacy of the ketogenic diet in autism. There is plenty of literature in peer review journals that you can review from PubMed.”

If you implement the ketogenic diet you expect to see wonderful results in a matter of days—weeks at the most. Again, the ketogenic diet doesn’t cost anything. However, it requires a very strenuous effort because it is easier for a heroin addict or for a cigarette smoker to quit heroin or to quit smoking than it is to shift from the high carb diet that we are used to, and [adopt] a ketogenic diet where carbohydrates are down to zero, and healthy fat and healthy protein constitute 90% of the daily caloric intake.

You may not have to use other remedies [with the ketogenic diet], unless there is a clear deficiency in some vitamin. For example, as in northern England, Scandinavia, and northern Germany, since you are not exposed to the sun light for a sufficient number of hours, the levels of vitamin D3 are typically low. [6, 7]

Adapting to the Ketogenic Diet

Most anyone who has used the ketogenic diet will report that one of the biggest hurdles in implementing the ketogenic diet is carbohydrate cravings. The second biggest hurdle is learning how to prepare food that does not contain carbohydrates. When a person begins to implement a ketogenic diet, he or she will usually experience intense cravings for fruit, bread, pasta, and anything else containing starch and high levels of sugar. These cravings are the body’s distress signal that it is going through drug withdrawal.

Dr. Ruggiero describes this in more detail:

It has been amply demonstrated that when you eat sugars, when you eat chocolate, or when you eat anything sweet, certain areas in your brain are activated. You can easily see this with functional magnetic resonance imaging. These areas are the same areas that are activated in [the brains of] heroin addicts when they inject heroin or when cocaine addicts [use cocaine]. It is simply an addiction and a great part of the food industry has based its fortunes on this addiction.

Once you begin eating carbohydrates you become addicted to them. It’s even worse if you begin at a young age and to try to stop eating them.

There are different strategies to overcome this difficult period at the beginning. But all these strategies depend upon perseverance and discipline. This period is called keto-adaptation, and my good friend Dr. Heinz Reinwald [in Germany] is a very good expert on this. The difficult period of keto-adaptation lasts one to two weeks, but then you begin to experience the [positive] effects. [6, 7]

Using Bravo Yogurt is Much More Than Taking Probiotics

Bravo yogurt can be added to the ketogenic diet to restore the microbiome of the gut and the brain, and to restore the functioning of the immune system. Probiotic capsules and pills cannot do this very well.

Dr. Ruggiero stated:

“If you want to spend some money on something that is not part of the [ketogenic] diet … then try some good probiotic yogurt. Of course, I am biased because I am the inventor of the Bravo yogurt, and I even make money out of the Bravo. Let’s say if you find a good probiotic yogurt that contains a number of healthy live microorganisms and contains a number of healthy molecules (I am not fool enough to say that Bravo is the only probiotic yogurt of course), then you add that on top of your ketogenic diet. Be advised however that probiotic yogurts are a completely different thing than probiotics without the yogurt.”

“Probiotics are nothing else but encapsulated microbes that are under the form of a capsule or a tablet or whatever that are supposed to recolonize your gut. Well let me tell you this, they don’t work or they work poorly in comparison to real yogurts or kefirs.”

“When you drink probiotic yogurt, you don’t drink microbes alone you drink microbes and their environment. When you swallow the capsule with probiotics you only swallow the microbes. Probiotics are one thing and probiotics with their environment is another. [6, 7]”

Dr. Ruggiero made mention of research from Canadian scientists who were testing yogurt for treating HIV AIDS in Tanzania. [8] In research published in 2010 and 2011 they found that locally produced yogurt containing cultures that the researchers provided, there was a substantial reduction in disease symptoms.

Dr. Ruggiero described their findings:

“Immediately after a few weeks they began to see extraordinary results. All the symptoms associated with HIV infection and AIDS, mainly diarrhea, wasting syndrome, and malnutrition, began to improve. And the CD4 count began to increase in a much higher way than what you would expect using antiretroviral drugs. [6, 7]”

Dr. Ruggiero described what happened when the researchers gave probiotic capsules containing the same microorganisms that were also in the yogurt to people with HIV AIDS in Tanzania. He stated:

“The results were zero—absolute zero—no effect. You may wonder how this is possible since the microbes were the same. Yes, the microbes were the same, but what was missing was their milieu … their micro environment … the microbes together with all the molecules that they [the microorganisms] produce by fermenting the milk. [6, 7]”

Additional Information about the Ketogenic Diet

The resources section at the end of this chapter list several resources that you can use to learn more about the ketogenic diet.

Combining Bravo Yogurt and the Ketogenic Diet

If a person adds Bravo yogurt to the ketogenic diet, then they are taking an even stronger step toward reversing many common chronic illnesses. Part of the power in this combination therapy is directly attributable to the removal of unhealthy “food like products” from the diet and replacing them with whole and unadulterated foods. Highly processed carbohydrate food made of white flour, sugar, fructose, and industrial omega-6 vegetable seed oils such as soy oil and canola oil must be completely eliminated. Fruit and sweet vegetables must also be strictly controlled, and for many people they will also need to be eliminated.

Dr. Ruggiero summarizes the effectiveness of an approach containing both the ketogenic diet and the Bravo yogurt. He stated:

“So, with a very limited budget you have 90% of what you need to treat 90% of the conditions. On top of that for the remaining 10% then you can use things like imuno.”

“I am not here to advertise Bravo, to say that Bravo is the panacea for all diseases, because it is not. It is simply one of the many tools together with imuno and all the rest that naturopaths, therapists, and doctors have at their disposal, so they have a number of different tools to fight the enemy. [6, 7]”

Bravo Yogurt is Very Different than Grocery Store Brands of Yogurt

Bravo yogurt is prepared at home from a special formulation of microbes. The yogurt starter kit includes the microbes and colostrum. It is mixed with whole milk and fermented for hours.

Dr. Ruggiero gives us more details. He stated:

“Bravo is a yogurt that was developed with the idea of exploiting the metabolism of healthy bacteria—healthy microbes—to produce a number of molecules that would exert a healthy effect on the human body. One of these molecules was GcMAF (Macrophage activating factor). This is a molecule that had been known for about 20 years, which was known to stimulate the immune system. Bravo reconstitutes the healthy human gut microbiome and the brain microbiome.”

“Don’t forget that in Bravo there are about a hundred and fifty newly formed peptides. What do I mean by newly formed? I mean that you take milk, and there are a certain number of healthy peptides and molecules, and then you take the microbes and let the microbes ferment the milk. At the end of the fermentation you will find a hundred and fifty newly formed peptides that weren’t present before, and they are the product of the microbial metabolism. All these newly formed peptides stimulate the immune system. It is an indirect action. It takes a few weeks if not months, but in the end, you see excellent results. [6, 7]”

Lactose Intolerance

Dr. Ruggiero addresses the concern about lactose (milk sugar) in Bravo since it is usually made from milk. He stated:

Lactose intolerance is not a problem because Bravo is highly fermented. It takes 24 to 48 hours to ferment the Bravo and in those 24-48 hours the lactobacilli microbes have used all the lactose so in the end you will have no lactose.

Actually, the Bravo is successfully used to treat lactose intolerance in children. After a few months of Bravo then they can eat cheese or drink milk with no problems. [6, 7]

Casein Intolerance

Dr. Ruggiero addresses this concern:

Caseins are proteins highly represented in milk. A great deal of caseins are metabolized during the fermentation process, nevertheless in the Bravo there are caseins. The point with casein intolerance is that caseins by themselves are not allergenic. What is allergenic is the product of the degradation of caseins in the stomach. When caseins are degraded in the stomach by the acid and the proteases, some of those peptides are allergenic and they can cause diarrhea or a number of other reactions.

The solution is rather simple. Instead of drinking the Bravo it can be used as an enema, applied to the skin, or as a suppository. But since you introduced this rectally, it will not be digested by the acids and the proteases of the stomach and therefore there will not be the formation of those products that are allergenic.

The rectal route of administration is particularly useful because all the healthy molecules in the Bravo, which of course include the imuno and the GcMAF, will be rapidly absorbed through the rectal mucosa and they will directly go to the liver. So essentially the efficiency of delivery is equal to an inter-muscular injection. Obviously you cannot inject the Bravo as a yogurt so don’t even think about doing this, but if you use the Bravo as an enema or suppository, then all the molecules will be rapidly absorbed and go to the liver with the same efficiency as if you injected them.

Bravo is in the protocol of cancer treatment, autism treatment, and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chronic Lyme. We see wonderful results with Bravo. [6, 7]

Use of Bravo Yogurt as an Enema

It is important to distinguish between different types of enemas. Some enemas are intended to stimulate the bowel to empty itself of feces. These often use large amounts of fluid to mechanically cleanse the colon of its content. Other enemas use a small amount of fluid and are intended to be retained and not lost. These are called retention enemas. They may also be called implants when they contain microorganisms such as Bravo Yogurt. The goal when taking a yogurt implant is to retain it in the colon as long as possible. This is usually not difficult if the bowel has been recently emptied prior to inserting the yogurt with a large needleless syringe.

Dr. Heinz Reinwald from Germany is one of the authors of the cancer treatment research study that was summarized in part one of this article. He indicates the amount of Bravo yogurt that was used for a Bravo Yogurt enema in the case of a patient with colon dysfunction. [Dr. Reinwald’s first language is German. His comments were edited to improve readability.] He stated:

“The father of one of my new employees has severe health problems. He suffered from lung cancer, recovered, then suffered from prostate cancer. He had the classical treatments because he would not even listen to an alternative practitioner. He is completely addicted like most people to the established medical system and of course he did all the chemo and radiation and had surgery in the descending colon. For several years, he could not use the toilet without an enema. He can hardly walk any more.”

“His son brought him to me and I gave him the advice to do a Bravo enema twice a week—50 ML of Bravo and 50 ML of water and to add oil for better adhesion. … After 3 weeks during Sunday night to Monday he said my father has a pain attack and he sat at the toilet for hours, and now he is free [of bowel inactivity]. [10]”

Bravo Yogurt Enemas are an Alternative to Fecal Transplants

The microbes in Bravo can re-establish healthy microorganisms in the gut. This also makes available a supply of healthy micro-organisms, which macrophages can then carry into the brain. This helps brain activity, which is part of the reason that Bravo helps autistic children. Bravo yogurt enemas can be used as an alternative to fecal transplants, which are currently being discouraged by the FDA.

The Most Effective Probiotic is Free but the FDA Wants to Ban It (fecal transplant article).

(This article describes the use of fecal transplants and discusses the opposition of the FDA.)

Dr. Ruggiero compares the use of fecal transplants with the use of Bravo Yogurt enemas. He stated:

Fecal transplants have their own scientific validity that is fully proven. In other words, you simply take the microbiome from a healthy individual and you transplant it together with its environment (the feces) into an unhealthy individual. The principle is absolutely identical to that of Bravo.

In Bravo you have the healthy human microbiome with its own environment. In a fecal transplant you have again the healthy human microbiome with its environment. You choose which one you like the best and which is the more convenient, which is easier to perform.

An enema of yogurt is rather simple, inexpensive, and harmless. The algorithm is simple. First you try it with the [oral consumption] yogurt, then try it with the yogurt enema. If it works, then proceed in that way. If it doesn’t work, then think about a fecal transplant. I think a yogurt enema is much simpler and easier and much less expensive and not harmful at all, so it is the first choice. [6, 7]

Using Bravo Yogurt to Control Human Parasites

There are alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides for killing parasites that live in the human gut. Parasites can thrive in the bodies of people who eat the standard American diet, and in bodies of those who have chronic illness. Dr. Ruggiero explains how Bravo Yogurt can be used to fight parasites.

Dr. Ruggiero stated:

“The best way is to use their natural enemies instead of taking synthetic pills. Their natural enemies are nothing else than the microbes that constitute the healthy core microbiome. The Bravo works at two levels in fighting parasites.”

“On one level the microbes fight with the parasites, because they compete for territory. The territory is our gut. Microbes, like all living species, compete for territory, but they have an advantage [over parasites]. You replace the microbes by the billions every day, whereas the parasites they are always under numbered. The parasites will easily be overpowered by the Bravo microbes.

“The second [mechanism of action] is the acidity of the fermented foods. This is common to all fermented foods. When food ferments it becomes very acidic. In general, yogurts are acidic. Now the acid environment in the gut breaks down the biofilms. Biofilms are sort of barriers. Parasites and other pathogenic microbes form biofilms to cover themselves and protect themselves from the insults that may come from the environment. Biofilms are like bunkers and parasites hide in these bunkers. As you know it is difficult to fight somebody that is hiding in a bunker.”

“You need a special weapon—a bunker blaster. The special weapons are made by the microbes in the Bravo. The microbes themselves are not the explosive. The explosive is the acid molecules that they produce. These acid molecules disintegrate the biofilms. Think of these acid molecules in the Bravo like explosives that disintegrate the bunker. At that point the microbes can fight the parasites.”

“So, in the end, the Bravo is one of the best tools to get rid of the parasites. Again, you can use the Bravo by using both ends of the GI tract. The physiological end is by drinking it as a yogurt. The less physiological approach is through an enema, so you directly target the rectal mucosa and then the colonic mucosa. [6, 7]”

From GcMAF to imuno

Dr. Ruggiero describes the progression in scientific research as it moved from the GcMAF protein to the discovery of the imuno molecule. The GcMAF and Goleic molecules that Dr. Bradstreet and other physicians used were protein-based molecules that were derived from human blood. The process of their synthesis was very complex and had the risk of unintentional contamination from elements in the blood supply. GcMAF and the second-generation macrophage activating factor, Goleic, had to be shipped frozen to protect the proteins from damage.

imuno on the other hand is a sugar-based molecule (glycosaminoglycan), which can be synthesized in the laboratory to produce a shelf stable and safe remedy that can be used orally, injected, or used in other ways as determined by the healthcare provider.

Dr. Ruggiero describes how their research unfolded. He stated:

“We began researching the molecules that were responsible for the health effects of the Bravo. The first that came into mind was GcMAF. Why? Precisely because we had developed the Bravo with the goal of producing GcMAF in the most natural way.”

“We then went on dissecting in molecular terms the molecules [in Bravo Yogurt]. We processed them and nanosized them. Then we passed them through further filters so that particles that were only nanosized could go through, and then we performed a number of procedures in order to find out which were the molecules responsible for the healthy beneficial effects of the Bravo in addition to the reconstitution of the human microbiome by the microbes.”

“In the end, we found out that even though there is plenty of GcMAF in the Bravo, it was not the GcMAF protein that was responsible for the health effects.”

“We became very puzzled, because we had been working in the lab for years on the GcMAF protein and we had seen a number of very interesting biological activities such as the killing of cancer cells, the inhibition of oncogenesis, stimulation of macrophages and so on.

The Discovery of imuno

Dr. Ruggiero describes the development of imuno:

“At this point, unlike the old GcMAF and the old Goleic that were based on proteins, we were able to exploit the message contained in the glycosaminoglycans and to find the glycosaminoglycan that actually was responsible for the effects that we had attributed to the GcMAF or Goleic protein.”

“The effects that we and others had observed with the old GcMAF and old Goleic were not due to the moiety of the protein molecules, but to the moiety of the glycosaminoglycans, the vitamin nutrients, and the oleic acid. So, now we were able, by observing nature, to reconstitute the active part of the molecule without the need of the blood derived protein.”

“Because of this, we are now able to target those few hundred genes that are commonly altered in most chronic diseases. [6, 7]”

Conclusion

In my opinion, the AutismOne conference is the best opportunity that parents and healthcare professionals have for learning about treatments that can lead to children losing their autism diagnosis. This is also a great opportunity for physicians and other healthcare providers to obtain continuing education credits. Visit their website for details.

AutismOne: The Cutting-Edge Autism Conference(R)

“My final comment has to do with those who wish to obtain GcMAF, Goleic, imuno, or Bravo Yogurt starter. Please proceed carefully. There are many sources on the internet, which say they are selling these products, but are actually selling products of unknown origin. This is especially true for GcMAF and Goleic, which are made from human blood.”

“Personally, if I wanted to use a macrophage activating compound, then I would choose Bravo yogurt. If I was seriously ill and needed more intense therapy, then I would use imuno. The older generation GcMAF and Goleic products are still effective, however, but their authenticity is often hard to verify. Bravo Yogurt and imuno do not have a potential risk of unknown contamination from blood.”

Currently, Bravo Yogurt starter is manufactured in Switzerland and is sold online by just a couple vendors in the U.S. and is not hard to obtain. imuno is made in New Zealand. One of the vendors who has them both is http://www, healthyenergetics.com

I have used the ketogenic diet for many years and attest that it is safe and enjoyable. I have personally used the Bravo Yogurt as an oral health tonic. The Bravo Yogurt tastes good and is good for us. I plan to use it as an enema in the future to further build up the healthy microbiome in my gut and my brain and give my immune system another boost.

Abstract

In this article, we describe how fermentation of hemp seed proteins leads to formation of peptides that share sequence similarities with [1] human vitamin D-binding protein. We compared the amino acid sequence of edestin, the major hexameric globular protein from hemp protein isolates, with that of human vitamin D-binding protein, and we found significant functional similarities. Among the different peptides formed during the process of fermentation, we identified the peptide VLANAFQ of edestin as a promising candidate showing a high degree of functional similarity as well a common pattern of hydrophobicity with the TPTELAKLVNKRSE peptide that is the active site of human vitamin D-binding protein as far as its immune-stimulating, anti-proliferative and anti-migration properties are concerned.

Keywords

hemp, human vitamin D-binding protein, peptides, probiotics; edestin.

Introduction

Vitamin D-binding protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (DBP-MAF or Gc-protein-derived MAF)[3] and its conceptual derivative based on microbial chondroitin sulfate, proved effective in a number of conditions characterized by immune system and mitochondrial dysfunction thanks to their effects on the pathogenetic alterations that are common to chronic conditions [1-9]. We and others demonstrated that DBP-MAF interacts in vitro also with cells other than macrophages [10-12], thus lending credit to the hypothesis that the biological effects described in previous studies [[4] 1-9] may be ascribed to a combination of effects encompassing stimulation of the immune system through the macrophage-immune system pathway, as originally postulated, as well as direct effects on target cells. Here we demonstrate that fermentation of hemp seed proteins utilizing an ad hoc designed microbial formula l[5] eads to formation of peptides endowed with biological activity similar[6] to that of [7] DBP-MAF.

Materials and methods

Fermentation of hemp seed proteins

The process of fermentation of hemp seed protein extract was performed in Switzerland using the following materials:

Mineral water (France).

Hemp seed protein extract (Switzerland and Europe).

Fresh lemon juice, not from concentrate (Switzerland).

White sugar (Switzerland).

Apple cider vinegar (Switzerland).

Proprietary probiotic formula (Switzerland and Europe) containing Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, and proprietary cultured kefir grains whose peculiar microflora was recently described [13,14].

Hemp seed protein extract was dissolved in mineral water and heat-treated with the goal of inducing mild unfolding of the native structure of edestin, an hexameric globular protein, so to expose sites where proteolysis by microbial proteases could occur with the consequent formation of bioactive peptides. Exhaustive preliminary experiments were performed to identify the ideal conditions to induce mild unfolding of the native structure without significant protein denaturation. Preliminary experiments were also performed to identify the ideal times and temperatures for efficient fermentation as well as the ratio of the different components. The mineral water was chosen for its [9] mineral content; preliminary experiments performed using mineral-depleted water indicated that an array of [10] natural minerals was necessary for optimal microbial fermentation. Using mineral water with defined [11] mineral content, the absolute number of live microbes dramatically increased during the fermentation period. The fermented product was then freeze-dried and analyzed for biological activity on human cell cultures.

Study of biological activity on human cell cultures; clonogenic assay

The fermented product was assayed for biological activity using soft-agar clonogenic assay performed by an independent laboratory (ProQinase GmbH, Freiburg, Germany) as described below. 500 mg of the freeze-dried fermented compound were weighed, taken into solution in 6.5 mL of DMEM medium by 30 min heating at 39° C under stirring to reach a 16x fold concentrated stock solution. Insoluble components were removed first by centrifugation, and then by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter. Centrifugation and filtration eliminated all microbial cells and aggregates of insoluble proteins and other macro-molecules. Absence of microbial cells was indirectly confirmed by absence of any contamination of the cell cultures during the 8 day incubation in soft agar. It may be presumed that small peptides were most likely to pass through the filter at variance with hydrophobic globular proteins such as edestin, the major component of hemp seed protein isolates, that have the tendency to clump together. The resulting solution was diluted in DMEM and immediately 10 μL was added to each well containing human colon cells bearing mutation of the KRAS gene (HCT116 cell line, 2,500 cells/well). No treatment (solvent) and Staurosporine (10 µM) served as high control (100% viability) and low control (0% viability), respectively. Treatment[12] of cells started one day after seeding. For the HCT116 cell line, a 96 well suspension cell culture plate was prepared. 100 μL of the soft agar bottom layer (0.6% final concentration in complete medium) was poured and left to solidify. 50 μL of the soft agar top layer (0.4% final concentration) containing the corresponding cells and cell number were then added on top, solidified and incubated overnight at 37° C, in 10% CO2. The following day, the freeze-dried fermented compound and the controls were added into the inner wells of the plate. Subsequently, the assay was incubated in a cell culture incubator [13] for 8 days. Finally, the assay was developed using Alamar Blue and, upon 3 h of incubation at 37 °C, fluorescence intensity was determined [14] (excitation: 560 nm; emission: 590 nm). As low control, cells were treated with Staurosporine (10 µM). As high control, cells were treated with solvent.15][16] 

Results and discussion

The protein/peptide content from the fermented hemp seed protein extract added to each well containing 2,500 cells was calculated as 0.6 µg/well, an amount that is of the same order of magnitude as that used by Gregory et al. to assess the effects of DBP-MAF on transformed prostate cell proliferation and migration [10]. The fermented hemp seed protein extract caused inhibition of HCT116 cell proliferation that was statistically significant (p < 0.05).[17] We attribute this effect to formation of bioactive peptides from edestin. Edestin is an hexameric globular protein that bears striking functional resemblance to the human vitamin D-binding protein that is the precursor of DBP-MAF (Fig. 1). We postulate that proteases secreted by the microbes of the probiotic formulation, together with the increase of acidity that is characteristic of fermentation, led to formation of peptides functionally very similar to DBP-MAF and, in particular, to the peptide TPTELAKLVNKRSE [18] that was identified by Gregory et al. as the active site of DBP-MAF [10]. The process through which fermentation would lead to formation of a bioactive peptide from edestin is identical, in principle, to the process leading to formation of bioactive peptides from hydrolysis of caseins during fermentation of milk by kefir[19] grains [15]. Among the peptides with potential biological activity deriving from the proprietary edestin fermentation process here described, we identified the peptide VLANAFQ as the most promising candidate. This peptide shows a high degree of functional similarity as well a common pattern of hydrophobicity with the TPTELAKLVNKRSE peptide described by Gregory et al. [10]. It is worth noticing that formation of vegetal bioactive peptides from fermentation of hemp seed proteins is reminiscent of the formation of DBP-MAF from fermented bovine colostrum [16]. Edestin, as a major component of hemp protein isolates,[20] is known for its excellent nutritional properties and it was recently hypothesized that products of its hydrolysis may have bioactive properties [17]. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration that fermentation of edestin leads to formation of peptides that show biological activity in human cell cultures (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Sequence alignment between edestin and vitamin D-binding protein[1]

The sequences of edestin 1 (A0A090DLH8) and vitamin D-binding protein (also known as Gc-protein; P02774) were obtained and aligned using the Align tool of Uniprot (uniprot.org). The light indigo color indicates hydrophobicity. The conventional consensus symbols are: “*” indicating that the residues are identical in all sequences in the alignment. “:” indicating that conserved substitutions have been observed. “.” indicating that semi-conserved substitutions are observed, that is, amino acids having similar features.

Understanding the relationship between pancreas and liver

I am going to put comments to the info below as I integrate it.Then we can adapt it to you.

from Mimi about the topic:


One thing that I has worked well for me lately is using amino acids.  For sleep especially, but also for body muscle.I am of an age (65) where I need to exercise for about an hour a few times per week in order to keep my metabolism set.You just need to keep your heart rate up and your body gets chugging along.  It gets all the parts on line and makes it over the line of function to something special.  I don’t know much about it except that when my liver was compromised by all my childhood toxins from a factory nearby, I didn’t want to exercise.  It took about 5 years to get up the “steam” to get rid of it all.Now I feel much freer and trying to balance my work load with voluntary exercise. (During the pandemic, our gyms were open and that was always easier.)
So in response to amino acids, I use something called the Master Amino Acid Pattern.  Dr. Ruggiero used to work with the guys in Italy that made this recipe.  I read somewhere that he was a part of it.  The company that I started with 20 years ago Is GUNA, a homeopathic company from Italy.  Their product is called SON aminos and are a superior quality but also twice as expensive.  If you get into it, you can call and see if they are still offered.  I might at some.  These are the strategies that keep my body and mind clear and I am setting up a healthy platform for my body.
Some history about my liver.  I brought some melatonin on my vacation one time.  I had encapsulated it into size “0” caps to make it manageable.  I was using about 1/4 of a capsule at a time, just to experiment with it.  So I put about 12-15 capsules in a zip bag to travel so it didn’t just look like white powder for TSA.  I was going to experiment in the pureness of Hawaii while I had time to myself.  But the first night, I came back to my bed in the dark while going to sleep and felt the packet of capsules.  I thought I forgot to take my evening minerals and took the whole bag.  So about 6 or 7 grams???    The next morning I felt hung over.  “What happened?”  Then I saw the writing on the zip lock and said.  Ops.  Not my night minerals.
My liver had dumped it’s toxic contents into my body.  I couldn’t hold on and adjust to the melatonin all at one time.  Energetically, what I was holding in my liver was all the ways I have had to adjust to the world.  All my rationalizations and my stability to not get angry and to HOLD THE PEACE and HOLD THE INTENTIONS of LOVING AND my relationship with Spirit, my family, myself.  It was all over the place. In retrospect, the best news is that I was in Hawaii with time to myself for sunshine, sparkling water and skies and trade winds.  Hawaii is both relaxed but also very vibrant.  My metabolism always adjusts higher even when I have a quiet day of botanical exploration.  
Meanwhile all of my toxins were in my body and I began hiking and swimming and the soaking in the ocean while focusing on the sea turtles and coral reefs while my body processed the waste.  However, there was a sticky yellow bile kind of thing that took longer to clean up.  I felt like I had hip waders on that were full of it.  Actually, it took over a year for that sticky stuff to clean up.  It was hard to exercise because my body wanted what it was doing to be still and meticulous so it could produce something in the gall bladder in order for it to process.  It was fine.  I was at work and processing my work anyway.  I just didn’t want to be very social nor too active.  When my energy came back, my system and consciousness was very pure and bright.  In retrospect.  I had a beautiful set up for that cleaning.  I used a great liver system to clean up completely and then had to remove the disease from my liver and I was all set!!  Never had disease since!!!
But now my pancreas wants to clear.  So I requested this info “anything on the pancreas”.  Knowing that I would find my answer in this mess.  When I read it the first time, I was surprised to see so much about weight maintenance.  My weight has been easy to maintain by telling my body to hold it’s ideal weight.  (Like when I was 18).  Of course I see women my age with their house dresses and pudge and I realize I have not gone in that direction.  LOL.
When I look into you and your weight, I am not looking for more or less weight but the function of the organs that hold balance.  Thus the pancreas is at the helm.  It holds the balance between the digestion and the brain.  It has a big job and is very silent in the consciousness generally.  Balance is something we do to stay conscious.  So my next question is, is consciousness what we use for balance?  Is balance between the body the same as how the planet supports its electromagnetic field.  I know that the south node is the emotions and the north node is the thoughts.  But what about how they interact?  And what if we hold ourselves steady in the wrong way.
Over thanksgiving my husband, son and grandson took a moment to go to the park and go on the swings.  My grandson and I started to play a game of running around on this large mound with handles placed.  We liked that it had colors of bands.  Of course his 5.5 year old self got the king of the hill.  I told him about my birds in their aviary and how they had had a pecking order.  I told him, if you come into my territory, I can peck you.  If I come into yours, you can peck me.  And so we ran around and a around, up and down. One of our other friends joined in too.   It was amazingly freeing to “play” and to take spontaneous steps.  We played for probably 35-40 mins.  Everything in my body loosened up.  
I tend to hold myself in a pattern so that I can work, make products, ship products, do the accounting and talk to the customers.  This loosening shook my pancreas awake.  Thus, it has been expressing its needs to me all week!!!  Yeah!Play is the answer.  But the needs of the pancreas become my nurturing project.  When you came along asking to free your weight metabolism, I got excited to look into the way the body functions, the way the consciousness interviews and the way that the endocrines come back into balance.  All indicating the pancreas.  The endocrine of balance.
I asked my friend Bruce, for anything he “had” his his many, many years of archiving health.  He did a sort through the material and looked for pancreas.  He sent me what is below.

Pancreas pg. 442

“CLASS 1-5”  and “CLOD” mean Reams is quoted

Reams is the developer of RBTI have not grounded myself in the greater structure of the material, as Bruce said, it is more of a group of knowledge and he is doing what he can to ground it.

OLSZTA Q&A: So, immediately we see the difference between RBTI and Orthodoxy, namely, RBTI says the Thyroxine is made by the Pancreas but Orthodoxy says it is made by the Thyroid Gland!

ADDED FROM GOOGLE : Thyroxine – from “orthodox medicine”
Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland under regulation from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The feedback loop signals to the hypothalamus in to release thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which then stimulates the pituitary gland to release the thyroid stimulating hormone.

ADDED FROM GOOGLE: Thyroxine is a hormone the thyroid gland secretes into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, thyroxine travels to the organs, like the liver and kidneys, where it is converted to its active form of triiodothyronine.

MIMI: – I see the pancreas stimulating the command to make the thyroxine in the thyroid.  It may be a similar substance released but it looks more like a smart military order with plans.Then the thyroid fills that order.  (Just saying that’s how it appears)

CLOD: You may have a case where in the pancreas is manufacturing the right amount of thyroxine, but the body does not have enough potassium, therefore, you can be over or under weight from that problem.

MIMI: This is very common especially in low metabolism.I will consider potassium as part of the weight metabolism. 10-15 ml

RBTI: Probably it would be overweight, but it may be either one. The RBTI test tells us definitely whether this is the cause of overweight, or whether it is something else.  [Bruce’s body is in this pattern]

MIMI: Testing if it is a cause – 
Mimi 25%Moj 35%Bruce 10%

CLOD: The reason the liver is not manufacturing enough glycogen is there are not enough calciums of the right kind present. 
This is present in the Bravo Yogurt regular dosage of 2 TBS x 2 times per day.and fixes this, the liver and pancreas for the most part.
Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids 
So with Bravo Yogurt, the liver does have what it needs to make amino acids and …. Small amounts of aminos are very, very helpful.

the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight. 

MIMI Overworking the pancreas.
This is true when you put the needs of others before your own.

For the overweight it does not manufacture enough thyroxine. 

Which is also a pattern of wallowing in your own unmet needs.

RBTI: For people who are too skinny the thyroid manufactures too much thyroxine. 
Perhaps being a good soldier to what is being asked of you.Bruce would fall into this pattern.
This is easily remedied by the correct diet.

MIMI Hmmm.  What does correct diet mean?Green leafy vegetablesLots of good oils like avocadosClean lean proteinCoconut oil on the skin.

CLOD: Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids that the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight.

MIMI Summarizing what was just said.  PLUS Needing potassium

CLOD: The reason the liver is not manufacturing enough glycogen is that there are not enough calciums of the right kind present. Therefore the liver does not have the material to make the amino acids that the pancreas needs to manufacture the thyroxine to control the body weight. For people who are too skinny the thyroid manufactures too much thyroxine. For the overweight it does not manufacture enough thyroxine. This is easily remedied by the correct diet.

MIMI. You need a good variety as well.

ARM: Everyone has a built-in whiskey still. The pancreas makes alcohol from the glycogen made in the liver, and that controls our body temperature. 

MIMI This is why I have included Sydney.  Too cold.

People who are too cold all the time are not manufacturing enough alcohol. When people are too hot all the time, they are manufacturing too much alcohol.

MIMI. That doesn’t mean you need to drink alcohol.  And it doesn’t mean you should eat a lot of sugar which turns into alcohol.LOL. It needs to be done with diet.
Green leafy vegetablesLots of good oils like avocadosClean lean proteinCoconut oil on the skin.Yogurt for the proper calciums.Potassium and minerals in a variety of sources
For alchohol. I just Jing Tea.  It brings vitality.  You need alcohol and a spark of fire to burn it off.  This bring the warmth to the three heaters of Chinese medicine.  You have the spark but not the fuel or vice versa.

DAVIS: If the pancreas does not produce enough of the special kind of alcohol the person has cold hands and feet most of the time. If severe enough, he may be cold all over at all times and in all seasons.

MIMI. Pancreas needs so self balance time.  Yoga, exercise, meditation.If you are only looking at others, not including yourself, you will begin to melt into not producing your own fuel.
See it as keeping your own emotional tank filled.This is true of drinking alcohol too.  If you don’t have enough of your own “fire”, then you need to get really enthusiast about something!!!Enthusiasm is God’s energy.  You must have God’s energy passing through you.  Otherwise, you end up like in prison, all dark and no hope.  Even if you are free, you will see hints of this in your consciousness.I usually look for the light at the end of the tunnel and move myself out to it. Even in my working too much, not giving myself enough personal thinking time, if I give myself more freedom within the task, it is much better.

CLASS 1-5: The pancreas manufactures alcohol to keep the body warm and functioning at the right temperature. If it is making too much alcohol you are too hot all the time. 
To reduce the amount of alcohol in the body drink some Brazilian Tea made from coffee (weak black coffee where you can see the bottom of a teacup, no stronger. In those cases the coffee often makes them sick at their stomach.  This is exactly what you want to happen Praise God it is because it is re-patterning their body chemistry. If they have pancreatic cancer; and, will not drink weak coffee because they do not like the taste of it, then shame on them. Suggest they make out their last will and testament.

MIMI. Okay let’s find the Brazilian coffee….
I looked at amazon, Peet’s has a coffee from Brazil both in beans and in cups pods.

ION INSTITUTE: When the feet are very hot and sweaty or a person has hot flashes, the pancreas is producing too much alcohol. Use a little coffee to temporarily alleviate the problem. Coffee is not the long term solution, rebuilding the pancreas is

MIMI – Next question, rebuilding the pancreas.
Liv-alive is a product I have in capsules.  There are two books on the product page.  He heals livers that need to be transplanted.  He also says it heals other organs too.  I have been taking it and now I think it is helping my pancreas.

ARM: It takes colloids, and it works back against the cationic force. The glycogen goes over to the pancreas, and it makes alcohol out of it. This regulates our temperature.
C.H.E.M: Whenever the pancreas is manufacturing too much or not enough insulin, Algavim is needed. The brain needs potassium.  [Algavim is Reams seaweed powder.  Bruce likes it.  Get teh bulk version from Daily Mfg.]

MIMI Not bulk but an okay start.

ARM: Drinking water, washes out the pnacreas.  while not correcting the condition, it makes it possible for the pancreas to rest and begin to restore its energy. To rebuild, use green drink and green salads to rebuild the pancreas.
BEDDOE: The use of “Green Drinks” is extremely valuable in helping the liver and pancreas to regulate blood carbohydrate levels.

MIMI. I agree.I have greens in capsules that I use.  Harmonia and nitro greens.  The nitro greens don’t make excesses.I also use grasses as cooling when needed in Florida summers.  Barley grass, alfalfa, and dandelion if you want that.It’s called tres verdes (three greens) or dos without the dandelion.

CLASS 1-5: Green drink [chlorophyll] is made by juicing edible green vegetables and is recommended for anyone who has a sugar problem, either too high or too low. It helps the pancreas to make the right enzymes to regulate your insulin so it is good for high or low sugars. One NO-NO about green drink and low blood sugar, never give comfrey, or comfrey tea, to people with low blood sugar because it lowers the sugar faster than anything else, but on all high blood sugar cases use it plentifully.

MIMI. Love this strategy and this confirmation.Make sure its organic.  Unfortunately I have seen commercial greens that were more pesticide than produce.Please, this is going right into your blood stream.  Don’t mess with anything not organic.

DAVIS: The best way we know of to rebuild the pancreas is with cationic “green drink” – that is, anything green such as carrot tops, celery, green beans, any edible green leaf, etc., put through a juicer so that the vital juices are separated from the bulk of the plant.

MIMI Some say this is too much on the sugar system and the fiber helps it.  Another point of view.

EUGENE REAMS: The pancreas of those with diabetes has only one seventh the amount of zinc compared to someone who does not have a sugar problem.  Taking the HCl with meals because the HCl in the stomach is weak, in addition to helping the Vitamin-A to be absorbed, also helps zinc and other elements to be utilized. 

MIMI. This is valid info.And a must with pancreas issues or diabetes

BEDDOE: Exercise balances blood sugar. When the activity of the body increases, the adrenal glands raise their level of activity. Thus hormones that effect a better blood sugar response between the liver and pancreas are then released.

MIMI. YES!!!!  This is the metabolic reset as I called it.  Now I know what is happening.
This will help your heart since sugar hurts heart and veins.  
Reducing sugar is obvious if you want to care for yourself.  I use various things to reduce the fungus that eats the excess sugar and that reduces cravings.Also a book called. The Craving Cure by Julia Ross

BEDDOE: This discovery points to the fact when acidosis is a result of carbohydrate problems it is not only due to the incomplete metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.  It is also due to loss of production of bicarbonate by the pancreas.

MIMI. Imuno on the mustache over the lip and the same type of area under the lower lip will increase the digestion which will auto start the metabolism of carbohydrates.  Use only imuno the size of a piece of rice for both lips and use it every day or skip once in a while.  Just keep the metabolism running like spinning a plate on a stick.  You must get to it on time.When it is working, my tummy rumbles.Also when I am not digesting food, I am digesting emotions.I don’t eat late at night because night time digestion is really not healthy. (Slime bugs that remove food will cause cravings)Also the brain drains into the colon but it also picks up nutrients and if you have junk late at night, the brain gets swollen and hung over the next day.  If you want a good day, mind when you eat.

CHALLEN: More people are allergic to white (Irish) potatoes because pancreas turns potatoes to sugar so quick people become hyperglycemic.

MIMI. Indeed!!  Not to mention the little particles and the gluey starch is so hard for the body to remove.

CHALLEN: Foods that create gas when the gastric juice from the pancreas is not strong enough: Broccoli, onion, rutabaga, cauliflower, and sweet potato.

MIMI. Gastric juices may be assisted by HCI BETAIN

CLASS 1-5: The medical profession considers a person who has low blood sugar [urine Brix] is allergic to all carbohydrates, so they feed high proteins and tell you to discontinue your carbohydrates. What we do is break all rules and find out why. We decrease their protein meats terrifically and put them into a low protein diet, no protein substitutes, or anything of this nature.  We put them on fruits and things, one at a time, until you find out which fruit or which carbohydrates causes the pancreas to flush. We then discontinue this problematic food and it solves the problem.

MIMI. This is not seen often but this plan seams helpful.This is something I want to try with Jim K.

ARM: Caffeine will retard the pancreas from flushing.

MIMI. Thats a very good reason to drink mushroom tea.  

SESSION 1-1975: If they are too hot all the time, give them a little bit of coffee to drink, which cuts the alcohol if the pancreas is over making.

MANTHEI: Comfrey tea and alfalfa tea we use in our retreat for people who have sugar [Brix] readings above 5.5, and these are unsweetened. Comfrey tea or alfalfa tea helps to bring down a high sugar [urine Brix], helps the pancreas to produce more insulin.

MIMI. Interesting.

OLSZTA: All darker green vegetables such as spinach, kale, parsley, wheat grass, collard greens, dandelion greens, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, endive, escarole, etc. will contain varying but good amounts of chlorophyll and will all be excellent in helping to rebuild the liver and pancreas and thus get the sugar problems under control.

MIMI. Plus all in sprout form including broccoli and arugula

SESSION 1-1975: Sometimes there is damage to the central nerve between the liver and the central nerve tree, so to speak and the pancreas. And therefore when this happens, the pancreas will become carcinomic and then cancerous and that the message can not get through to the pancreas, you cannot control the sugar and the person will lose weight very rapidly until they die. But if the nerve is not damaged, and the pancreas has only a mineral deficiency it has a remarkable ability to rebuild itself and so does the liver.

MIMI. This is what happened to me.  I stored emotionally charged childhood and past life memories in the nerve ganglia although it was not damaged, the connection was impaired by my unexpressed rage at not being able to care for myself.  Like receiving formula instead of breast milk.  With this one, Bravo rebuilt me and fixed the stored rage thus healing the liver and now the pancreas.

MIMI. My father’s mother died with this issue as well although she self medicated with heavy smoking and drinking.Its funny how we can see up the genetic line to what is going on and they can’t see it.Always I ask my kids to please share what you see in me.  It is what I need and can’t get to very easily.You become my best healers.

Thanks Bruce for the experience.

These are semi related topics.  What is similar to all of them is angiogenesis and disease removal.  The keys to similarity of all of these topics is that these topics don’t make money for the pharmaceutical industry so. . .  no research.  Which means no ability to talk professionally about them.

-Blood vessel video on (basics of) angiogenesis 

Ted talk about how our bodies can go wrong by not trimming or growing blood vessels and capillaries as we need them.  

William Li presents a new way to think about cancer treatment: angiogenesis, targeting the blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that beat cancer at its own game.  (This is much bigger than cancer.  Anytime something goes wrong, it can either be deficient or excessive.

-fighting cancer with veterinarian remedies – deworming medicine from animal studies.

Next we explore how about this same problem of angiogenesis and the capillaries with a drug that makes it easier for our bodies to manage keeping them in line.  (We are not surprised that this leads to cancer free.)

-The use of melatonin for cancer.  

This is really important to people who are restless.

If cancer has something to do with capillaries getting out of hand like a garden full of weeds, then this naturally occurring hormone can help us manage all of these issues as well.  What Is most important about this research to me is that REM sleep is essential for the brain’s system to do it’s daily clean & drain.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Roh4lQXneQg&feature=youtu.be.  then see the neurologist’s long ramble below from Stasha Gominak about how important it is to sleep.  

-Restoration of the liver

Burt Berkson MD is able to rehabilitate livers that the AMA says should be transplanted.    He restores livers easily and quickly with some antioxidants.  Alpha lipoic acid regrows organs and stops cancer.  Rapid liver regrowth, including vascular regrowth. (There is the angiogenesis again…). Hepatitis D, Reduces inflammation, Kills cancer, Lupis, autoimmune hepititus, Oxidative stress

Mimi also put the right products together in a capsule called Liver-Alive.  Care must be taken to get the right quality and type of ALA.  Berkson is clear about the type.  I have complied, tested and realize that this is true.  My products reflect that.  Warning from the Doctor:   imported less expensive Chinese product is not sufficient and could do damage to the liver instead of repair it.

My theoretical explorations about angiogenisis causes;

  • Maybe we are holding onto pain and those blood vessels change?  Perhaps we abandon something inside us and heavy metals are the result?  Then the heavy metals or the DNA dis-regulation causes us to not be able to hear and respond to the command to clear the blood vessels, clean the area, remove the problems.  
  • Perhaps were over-use our brains, nerves, etc. or they have viruses in them and the signal to regulate them gets cut?
  • Perhaps our microbiome helps to regulate things and when the heart & metabolism slow down the body creates infection etc. and we end up on antibiotics.

Imuno and how we might understand it a bit more. (Sulfate article from the 1990’s that indicate the need for balance at the sulfate levels.  

This relates back to hyperactivity of red dye #2 but it is all the same need.  To detoxify properly and being overwhelmed by not being able to.  Isn’t the hyperactivity also an attempt to move the toxins out and it is also inflammation in the brain that doesn’t let it out all at the same time.)

Chondroitin Sulfate in imuno is more than capable of supplying the usable sulfate ions, (not necessarily the metabolic enzyme itself. )  A see it at www.imunothesolution.com

imuno Cream

imuno Cream is being universally loved by all ages.  It assists the body where it is needed.  Imuno is very clean.  The molecules are very small.  They are filtered to be nano sized.  The formula has three ingredients and they are molecularly bonded together.  Each of these ingredients and their actions are extremely nurturing and invigorating to the body. 

The first ingredient is an ultra-pure Phosphatidylcholine.  It is a fatty acid and it acts like a soap in the cellular environment.  It removes debris and brightens the outside of the cell’s wall like washing a window.  The second ingredient is a vegan chondroitin sulfate that stimulate the brain of the cell, the cell wall, and once it touches a part of a cell wall, the whole cell wall responds and wakes up.  Thirdly, the Vitamin D3 is  molecularly bonded so now it too is inside the cell and turns on the power.  The cell turns on and so do the ones around it.  They link to the immune system and begin to remove anything unwanted from the small cellular environment.  The imuno turns on the power of the cells and that starts the whole “factory” of functions such as digestion, detoxification, immune, hormonal function, etc. 

It removes the stuff that isn’t supposed to be there. As you continue to use imuno, that small cellular area expands and is maintained clean and working by a continuing to use a small amount of cream that penetrates into a specific area.  You don’t want to use a lot.  Just the size of a piece of rice.  It travels to the issue and begins to dispel it.  It does this by setting up the charges inside the internal water system through the body and removes the items not wanted by the immune system.  Start slowly and hold it to only those areas that you have opened.  Imuno takes a lot of power so only do a little bit and not everyday.  This product  uses so little product that it really lasts a long time and must be reapplied to keep it flowing.

Praesidium: The EMF Protector

Create an Inner Shield of Protection 

for EMP Pollution

“I am getting stronger.  The EMF is not pushing me around anymore.  My body is once again sending the “energy of life” out through my cells.  I don’t have to live with a just a trickle of energy anymore and I have only been taking it for 1 month!  I can’t wait to see more!”

Studies on EMF clearly show the effects like  symptoms of fatigue,  headaches, insomina, heart rate variability, as well as memory, skin, eye, detox, digestion, & bowel function issues.  This is a spectrum of symptoms which are difficult to observe in our daily life but are undeniably present.

Dr. Ruggiero’s research has built a bridge of products including Bravo Yogurt and Imuno which have been transformational to build and support our microbiomes and to ignite cellular power to restore our system’s functions.  Praesidium®  takes us a step further into becoming more resilient with EMF pollution.  Dr. Ruggiero is a highly innovative thinker.  He has offered a safe, smart, and natural formula that we can consume.  We begin to transfer the messages of how WE can adapt to those super high levels of radiation right into our own cells and retain it.

Praesidium® consists of these specialized living probiotic organisms, specialized living silica  and spirilina.  The technology is patent pending.  The doctor recommends not taking more than one capsule per day.   The product contains a 3 month supply which is 90 caps.  (members only: there is a sample section offering smaller amounts)

Feedback from people who have begun to experience the formula report:

  • Improved sleep
  • Nutritional support for better nerves, micro-biome, skin & eyes
  • Better detoxification of pesticides and cleaners
  • Improved Heart Rate Variablity
  • Improved, healthier looking skin
  • Much better energy levels and detoxing
  • Over all less emotional stress
