Diabetes
Diabetes 1 # Testimonial:
Dear Herb: I am a Diabetic and I want to share my experience regarding Immunocal.
Before using Immunocal, I had been controlling my blood sugar levels (usually 114 fasting), through diet and one 5mg Glipizide tablet per day. After
using 1 envelope of Immunocal for just 5 days, beginning mid-October, 2001, I experienced a significant drop in my blood sugar level (58) one and a
half hours after breakfast (normal blood sugar runs 80 to 100). By increasing my food intake that day, I was able to raise my blood sugar to 74 by
the end of the day. This situation continued until I met and spoke to Dr. Gutman, November 15th at a Health Seminar in Princeton, NJ. Dr. Gutman
told me I needed to speak with my Dr. about stopping my medication or at least cutting the pill in half, in order to bring my blood sugar up to normal.
After speaking with my Dr. I elected to cut my medication in half at that time. By February 2002, my blood sugar began to drop again, so I stopped
using the medication entirely. I have been able to control my blood sugar since then by diet alone. My fasting blood sugar runs 76 or below, and
one and a half hour meals blood sugar runs 90 to 96. Another improvement I experienced, which is what Dr. Gutman considers an important
reason for a diabetic's use of Immunocal, is my circulation. I used to suffer from broken capillaries, causing red spots on my feet and ankles,
which entirely stopped after 3 months on Immunocal. Also, I used to experience weakness and stiffness in my legs when I awoke in the am. That
problem entirely stopped after only a week on 1 envelope of Immunocal per day.
These days, I use 2 or 3 envelopes of Immunocal per day.
Sincerely, Cathy Gulden (February 4. 2003)
Diabetes 2# Testimonial:
When I was introduced to Immunocal I was having a great deal of trouble keeping my sugar down, even though I was on Insulin injections. I had
lost the sight in one eye and the other eye was ulcerated, with loss of vision eminent. I was terribly down and lacked the energy to move and was
rapidly gaining weight. My sister introduced me to Immunocal, after her hearing a radio show on the benefits of glutathione and calling the number.
It was also suggested that I take the Xtra Sharp and the vitamin, which I agreed on. After two months on Immunocal and the Xtra Sharp my sugar
was leveled and upon going to my eye specialist I was told that the ulcerations were gone, as was the itching and running from the eyes. I have more
energy that I can ever remember having and I am now taking walks daily. In six weeks lost twenty-two pounds. Immunocal has definitely improved
the quality of my life. Gwen Merriweather
Diabetes 3# Testimonial:
Oct. 2003: Here is an unforgettable testimonial from the Portland Expo on diabetes. Shirley Hulen from Oregon shared: Hi! My name is
Shirley Hulen, a 74-year-old homemaker from Milwaukie, Oregon. After having several tests done at the Womens Fair in October 1999, a nurse
advised me to see my doctor because of elevated blood sugar. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as a result of the HbA1c test done at that
visit. Next came a class at the hospital where we learned all aspects of diabetes, including neuropathy. At that time, I had no feeling from the
ankles down, along with the tingling and pain. My disappointment came when I was told this condition would never go away and would continue to
progress as more nerves were damaged. And progress it did---until it finally reached both knees! Since this was something I had to live with for the
rest of my life, or so I was told, I accepted the fact I would be very inactive when I should be exercising to help control my blood sugar and to lose
weight. Near the end of 2001, I learned about Immunocal and on January 7, 2002 I took my first packet. Within weeks, I began to notice some
things missing or improved. A sore in one ear was gone after 3 to 4 years. No more headaches, because my year-round sinus infections were
also gone after many years. I was able to almost close both hands after arthritis prevented it from happening. Imagine my excitement when I noticed
that my neuropathy had lowered almost two inches below my knees. In the middle of March I began taking two packets of Immunocal a day and by
late June the neuropathy was only in the bottom of my feet. How exciting for something that would NEVER be reversed! We just came back from
our church campout on the Oregon coast. This year I walked everywhere I needed to go, with much improved balance. Last year I could only walk
short distances with assistance and had to be driven the longer ones. Praise the Lord and Immunotec for Immunocal!!!!
Shirley Hulen: P.S. My eyes are in excellent condition and there is no blurring
Diabetes 4 # Testimonial
Lois Sausville shared this: I was introduced to Immunocal in October 2000. I am a diabetic and was taking glucophage 500mg AM and PM. I
began taking one packet of Immunocal per day. Within 1 1/2 months I was off of my glucophage. I went for my 3 months check up and my Dr. had a
fit because I stopped my pills without his permission. I asked him to wait until my blood test was back to see it's results and he did. His nurse called
me, to say that the Dr. said that the blood test was normal, to continue what I was doing! I also was on the verge of having my gall bladder
removed because of the pain that it caused me. After being on IMMUNOCAL for 6 weeks, the pain was gone and has not returned. What a powerful
detoxifier IMMUNOCAL is. I thank GOD for discovering this life-changing product. It has improved the quality of my life immensely
Diabetes 5# Testimonial
Sharon Smith from Terry Johnsons group shared this: Sharons friend was diabetic. She was only on the pills so far, but controlling her diabetes
was difficult. After just one box of Immunocal, taking it only once a day she has seen a BIG difference in her diabetes! She told Sharon, she NEVER
wants to be without her Immunocal.
Diabetes 6# Testimonial
George, a 62 year old:
Since poor antioxidant and detoxification defenses are implicated in kidney disease and the complications of dialysis, there is no reason to believe
that GSH supplementation may help individuals like George, a 62 year old former country and western singer. George had struggled with diabetes
for over thirty years. Following only moderate success controlling his sugar levels, he developed progressive kidney failure and subsequent anemia.
In a few short years he went from an active, gregarious entertainer to a listless, sofa-ridden recluse. His energy level and concentration deteriorated
more and more and the local hospital clinic in Hawaii where he lived was obliged to monitor his condition closely. His levels of biliary urea nitrogen
(BUN) and creatinine crept higher and higher - signs of diminishing kidney function - and his red blood cell (hemoglobin) value continued to fall.
His physician placed him on a waiting list to undergo preparation for dialysis. After hearing about GSH, George started taking 20 grams per day of a
whey protein isolate high in GSH precursors. Within three weeks his BUN and creatinine levels started to fall - a sign of improving kidney function.
After a further three weeks his hemoglobin climbed by one full gram per deciliter (g/dL) of blood and he was again singing at his friend's parties. His
wife was uncomfortable about his exposure to alcohol and cigarettes but three months later his renal function tests and hemoglobin levels had
improved so much his physician put plans for dialysis on hold.
Diabetes 7# Testimonial
Deana was a motivated, positive entrepreneur who developed a wellness health center even though she suffered from a serious case of diabetes.
Increasingly fatigued, this 32 year-old Texan continued to run her center even after receiving and rejecting a kidney transplant, failing eyesight
and dialysis treatments. Eventually she developed a chronic foot infection that required weekly debriding of dead tissue. Her doctor feared that
amputation might prove necessary. She began taking high doses of the whey protein isolate Immunocal and found her energy levels increased
over several weeks. Kidney function tests and hemoglobin levels improved. Medication doses for her anemia and hypertension were decreased or
eliminated. Peripheral circulation was better. Five months later the foot was healed. Deana has since married and continues to run her clinic
Diabetes 8# Testimonial
1/2/03 MY TESTIMONY ABOUT IMMUNOCAL AND ITS EFFECT ON CHOLESTROL & DIABETES: Frank L. Brucknak I am a borderline diabetic.
My Doctors require a blood testing of both conditions quarterly. My test results on July 30, 2003 and October 15, 2003 were as follows: Cholesterol
183 173, Triglycerides 86 68, HDL 46 53, LDL 120 105, Hemoglobin, A1C ( sugar ) 5.8 5.3 Being a borderline diabetic, cholesterol is under
scrutiny much closer than if I wasnt borderline; therefore a reading of 120 on July 30 would probably would not raise an alarm if I wasnt a borderline
diabetic. The Doctors were watching this point very closely in July to see what the October reading would be. If it had stayed the same or increased,
medication would be necessary. In August I decided to increase my dosage of Immunocal to 2 pouches per day. To my amazement my test
results were very positive (as seen above) even in that short period of time. Thank God for Immunocal, I dont have to go on any toxic medication. To
say the least again I continue to be an affirmed believer in Immunocal and will continue to share the great story of Dr. Bounouss invention of
Immunocal for the rest of my life.
Diabetes 9# Testimonial
Dear Jim: I have a friend who is a bad diabetic. She has been losing her sight for over a year due to diabetic retinopathy and has been traveling
from Vegas to Seattle for treatment about 4 times a year. The treatments are extremely painful and are of limited help. She started on Immunocal
around Thanksgiving. I just received a note from her in Seattle, as she saw her doctor yesterday. She has no active eye disease right now. Her
eyesight is 20/70, which is quite good for her at age 55. But what is better is that her stress level is way down, as she was told to learn Braille and
prepare to be blind the rest of her life. She is a distributor and has shared Immunocal with many people already. I am going to try and make your
Jan 20th meeting in Long Beach next week. Just thought I'd share the info. Mary Florin, RN
Blood Disorders
Blood Disorders 10# Testimonial:
Dear Herb Johnsen, Hello my name is Lucia Cerullo from Elizabeth, New Jersey. I am 19 years old and I have a very rare bleeding disorder. I
have been on Immunocal for 8 1/2 months and it has done great wonders for me. I would like to explain a little more about my bleeding disorder. It's
called factor 5 deficiency, its one in a million and it has these side effects: easy bruising, nose bleeds, gum bleeds, internal bleeding and compared
to a regular person it takes me longer to clot when I have a bled. The reason why it takes me longer to coagulate is because I'm missing the factor 5
levels in my blood, which is a clotting factor. There is only one cure for my bleeding disorder is by getting a Plasma transfusion of between 4-6
units depending on how bad my bleed may be. The only time I receive transfusions is when I have an internal bleed or a severe nose bleed and so
on. I am glad to say that since the first few weeks I started noticing a great improvement with my body. I wasn't receiving as many bruises usually
would get and if I had bruises they healed a lot faster than normal. I have also noticed a great deal of improvement in my coagulation. Like for
example, before I was on this Immunocal and I were to have nose bleeds they would bleed spontaneously from like a half hour an so on and now if
I get a nose bleed it stops in like 10 minutes the most. I also used to have many problems when they had to draw blood because my veins are so
small, they used to roll or disappear. Now that has improved a great deal also the most they have to stick me is twice and with a whole lot less pain.
One other major injury was when I had a bad fall and twisted my ankle and pulled my calf muscle and all my weight went into my left leg. I had
many problems with my legs since this injury and I spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital but with Immunocal it has improved a lot. I am taking
up to 3 or 4 bags a day and I see that it helps a great deal, in giving me energy and my bruises are decreased a great deal. Also I hardly have
many bruises and I dont bleed much from my nose and I haven't had an internal bleed since the summer, which is really great. So I recommend
this product for any body that is well or extremely ill you will see a great improvement with at least 2 or more bags a day.
Lots of love, Lucia Cerullo
Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure 11 # Testimonial
Blood Pressure & Thyroid - February 2003 Today I received a fabulous letter (testimonial) from my brother and sister-in-law.
Here's how it goes: They recently went to their family physician for a checkup. For many years my brother has been taking various prescriptions
for high blood pressure. .He has been taking two packs of Immunocal for the past one and a half months. Last week his blood pressure reading
was 111/71 - absolutely phenomenal The Doctor immediately asked what he had been doing differently and was told about the Immunocal he Doctor
was amazed and told him to keep taking it. He also asked for information on the product. In addition, my sister- in- law has had problems with her
thyroid for a long time. Her function tests over the years would fluctuate - sometimes high, then low - causing a variety of problems and
complications. At this same visit the Dr said her latest test was normal. (She's been on two packs of Immunocal for a month or so longer than my
brother) Just as they were leaving his office the Doctor reminded them to get the information to him ASAP. Herb - this warms my heart. Words
cannot convey how fantastic this makes me feel. I am on Cloud Nine - Much love, Connie
Cholesterol
Cholesterol level 12 # Testimonial:
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "My cholesterol level went from 340 to 140 after only 15 days of taking 2 packets of Immunocal per day. Also, I had a fairly
large cyst in my breast which my doctor first saw 4 or 5 years ago. Each year I had an ultra sound and it was slowly getting bigger. The doctor
was going to biopsy it this year, but after my ultrasound, it had almost completely disappeared! Immunocal is the only thing I have been doing
differently." Sincerely, Elizabeth Ackerman Wednesday, October 24, 2001

Heart
Heart Attack 14 # Testimonial:
A Testimonial for Mercury Chelation with HMS 90/Immunocal Paul Rothe (June, 2003) In November of 1999, I had a minor pulmonary cardiac
infarct (heart attack). Four months later, I tested 30% above the cardio-pulmonary fitness norm for my age (then 60), with good cardiac blood flow. I
then visited a naturopathic physician who explained mercury's tendency, among numerous other negative effects, to disrupt the calcium balance
important in blood vessel contractions. My attack was attributed to an arterial spasm. I was under considerable emotional stress at the time. I had
my silver / mercury based dental amalgams replaced with composite material in July of 2000, dental fillings being a common source of mercury
toxicity. I then underwent a series of mercury chelations through a naturopathic physician to remove the mercury residue still present in my body. At
that time, I had a blood mercury reading of 66 ppm on a 'normal' reference range of 0 49 ppm*, considerably beyond the range of acceptability.
After a series of 12 chelations, which were expensive and tend to be hard on the body, my blood mercury was reduced to 40 ppm by September 19,
2002 a noticeable improvement.
On May 28, 2003, after taking three or more packs (30 g) of HMS 90/Immunocal per day for 8.5 months (mid September to the end of May),
the same test for blood mercury as used previously returned a value of 28 ppm. I had changed nothing in my habits that would account for the
12 ppm drop since the September, 2001, test, other than the fact I had been taking HMS 90/Immunocal daily over that period. I have been told that
this is much higher than the amount which could have been removed through the passive excretion of mercury from my body without any special
treatments. * This is far from a controlled study, but it does seem consistent with Medline studies which verify glutathiones ability to chelate mercury
in mice, rats, and perch. If I hadn't had other health issues (nonlife threatening) and a relatively active and regular regime of swimming, cycling and
walkingnot to mention general busynessto 'soak up' some of the HMS 90/Immunocal through activityinduced oxidative stress, the amount
of mercury purged from my system might have been greater. Overall, my physical wellbeing has been transformed from that of a painplagued
middleager (including limiting arthritis in my right knee) in less than a year to someone who feels 20 years younger. I experience this in the form of
improved overall energy, enhanced physical performance and recovery, better sleep. I am even noticing signs of antiaging, such as improved
eyesight for reading, fading age spots and wrinkles, more rapidly growing nails, and even a returning hairline! To what else could these
changes be attributed other than HMS 90/Immunocal? All tests, for which records are on file, were requested through my family physician, the last
two of which were run at the same hospital lab facility. As a detoxifier, glutathione via HMS 90/Immunocal is capable of removing a wide range of
toxins from the body.
Hepatitis
Hepatitis B Virus Testimonial # 15
Dear Dr. Petrosino:
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) had downed me so much that I was feeling extremely weak everyday. I had no hope that I could find a product that would
help me so much. Thanks to Immunotec for developing this product. After using Immunocal for nine months, I have realized tremendous results and
am getting better as time goes by. I have more energy and vitality, and the viral DNA test indicates that the virus is going down gradually. My doctor
was really amazed about the results and told me to keep using the product since INTERFERON didn't work for me. The viral count went down
from 5500 to only 500 the last time he did the test and I hope that I will clear the virus from my system. The liver function test is extremely good.
At this moment, I feel 80% better.
I am so excited to be part of Immunotec family and the product immunocal. I recommend anybody with HBV to try this product. Best Regards,
James Busienei March 27, 2002
"I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and cirrhosis in 1989. I have been through 3 rounds of interferon with no success. I originally purchased
Immunocal for my mother-in-law who has lung cancer. She noticed an improvement in her energy level right away. I decided to try it for myself and
have noticed more energy and an overall sense of wellness. I am anxious for my next doctors visit to see how my blood work-up looks. I have only
been using the product for about 3 weeks. My wife has no significant health problems but is taking Immunocal as a preventive measure and is
already a believer after nearly 2 weeks. She was a skeptic at first. So now my whole household endorses the product. I look forward to better health
and better living! My back pain and pain in my side (from cirrhosis and Hepatitis-C) has improved along with more energy and desire to get out
and do things." Sincerely, Michael Sinks 05/29/2001

Crohns
Crohns 19 # Testimonial:
CROHNS DISEASE & IMMUNOCAL / HMS 90 2/8/99 Campbellford, Ontario, Canada Gayle West: At age 7, our son Dean started showing signs
of illness. He started losing weight, had terrible stomach pain, was extremely lethargic and spent a lot of time lying on the couch sleeping. It took
several years and a battery of tests and finally at age 11, a Pediatrician gave us the diagnosis that Dean had Crohns Disease. The number of years
had taken its toll and the disease had a very strong hold on Dean. The first course of treatment was to give him Prednisone, an anti-inflammatory
steroid. While the drug seemed to work at alleviating the pain, emotionally it was very difficult on him. As a grade 7 student, he would have rather
been sick and skinny than to have to attend school and have the kids make such hurtful remarks. After following the required Prednisone treatments
and being slowly withdrawn from the drug, Dean held his own for about 2 months. Signs of the Crohns slowly started reappearing. We asked that
Dean not be put back on the Prednisone, so his Pediatrician made arrangements to send him to Sick Childrens Hospital where they were having
some success with other treatments. Dean went to Sick Kids, where they took him off of all food and fed him through a tube inserted through his
nose into his stomach. This course of treatment meant that Dean could have nothing to eat or drink for 2 months. They taught him how to insert the
tube himself so that we could return home. He had to insert the tube every night when he came home from school and start feeding himself with the
pre-digested formula until he awoke for school in the morning. Dean continued this course of treatment for the full 2 months. On his 12th Birthday
was the first time he was allowed any food by mouth, a piece of birthday cake. Slowly, he started introducing regular food into his daily routine, but
he still had to continue the night feeds seven nights a week. For a year, seven nights a week, Dean inserted the tube in his nose, swallowing until it
reached his stomach and finally he said he could do it NO MORE! At that point, the doctors at Sick Childrens Hospital told us that he had done it
longer than any other patient they had and they said to let him go off the feeds and see what happens. It wasnt long until Dean started getting the
stomach pain, the diarrhea and the tiredness. We continued by going back to Sick Kids Hospital where they kept him for another 2 weeks and put
him on 2 more pills, did biopsies and sent him home again. And, again Dean did not improve. He needed the night feeds to help his system get the
vitamins, minerals and calories his body needed. At that time, we decided to ask Sick Kids Hospital if there was another way to administer the feeds.
They said they didnt like to go with it because it involved invasive surgery. But Dean said he would like to give it a try. At age 13, a G-tube
(gastrointestinal feed tube) was implanted in Deans stomach. This allowed him to continue with the night feeds on a regular basis and to allow him
to live like a normal teenager. For the past 3 years, Dean has continued on this course of treatment with some good periods mixed with flare-ups of
the Crohns which put him on the couch in pain every night for several weeks at a time. Although this treatment was helping him to keep on some
weight, the symptoms of Crohns didnt really allow him to lead a normal teenage life. The energy needed for sports and to be fully productive at
school just wasnt there. Dean was now 16 and during the flare-ups with the Crohns, we were trying to prepare him for the possibility that this was as
good as he was going to feel for the rest of his life. We had read everything, tried everything suggested, both natural and prescription and were still
willing for his sake, to KEEP TRYING! Thats when I was introduced to Immunocal / HMS 90 and was told by Paul Hazell that there had been good
results with various conditions and it would be worth giving it a try. After listening to the tapes, reading the material available and discussing it with
Dean, he agreed to give it a try. As a bit of background to Deans eating habits, he never ate breakfast, maybe hed eat lunch and he seldom ate
enough at supper to keep a normal kid mobile. When he did eat supper, he immediately went to lay on the couch where he was doubled over in pain
for about 15 minutes. We never worried too much about him eating because he was still doing the night feeds and was being pumped full of calories
every night. Sick Kids Hospital told us not to worry, it was normal with Crohns kids! We decided to go to my parents for the weekend the day that
Paul delivered the Immunocal / HMS 90. I threw it in the suitcase not sure whether he would start taking it there or not. I pulled it out Friday night and
asked him if he wanted to give it a try. He said yes, so Grandma mixed it with some applesauce before he went to bed and Dean ate it. Dean woke
up the next morning, went to the kitchen and said, Grandma, can I have some breakfast? She immediately answered yes and asked him what he
fancied. He answered Bacon and Eggs PLEASE. Well, I nearly fell over! He ate breakfast that morning and the next 2 mornings. When we returned
home, Deans improvement gradually became more evident. He has NOT ONCE had a stomach cramp since starting on the Immunocal / HMS 90.
His weight had held its own and he has grown to 5-6. The diarrhea has subsided and there is a marked improvement in his energy level. At Deans
last check-up at Sick Kids Hospital, the doctors examined him for nearly 15 minutes. Upon returning the doctor told us he apologized, but they were
having a rather in-depth discussion about why Dean had done so well since his last visit. It was then that I decided to tell them about the Immunocal /
HMS 90. Well, the medical profession is not readily accepting of anything new. They said he was more than likely in a spontaneous remission,
but did not note in his files that he was on the Immunocal / HMS 90. Dean promised us he would stay on the product for 6 months to give it a try.
Upon returning home from Sick Kids Hospital, I asked him if he wanted to stop taking it. Without hesitation he said NO. He knew he was feeling
better and wanted it to stay that way. It has been 9 months now and Dean is still doing well. He does still do the night feeds from Sick Kids Hospital
along with the Immunocal / HMS 90, but only 5 nights/week for both. We give him his weekends off. He has to this day not had ONE stomach cramp.
He spends hours after school skateboarding or biking. He has lost NO time from school due to the Crohns other than his doctors appointments. He
is snowboarding on school trips and nights and weekends and wherever he can find a hill. Deans Pediatrician cannot believe the overall
improvement in him and says that although she cant guarantee it, Deans improvement is the result of the Immunocal / HMS 90 and said she
wouldnt take him off it. She said she has never met a teenager willing to take any type of medication, so if he is willing to stay on it, he must know
that it is making him feel better and you CANT argue with that. If you have been thinking of trying Immunocal / HMS 90, I cannot begin to tell you
what a difference it has made in Dean. Everyone has something you should try and its difficult to sort through all of the information and try to decide
if you are being sold a bill of goods or whether there is some basis in fact about the product. I hope that after reading this, you will honestly consider
giving Immunocal / HMS 90 a try. Although Dean will always have Crohns, it is our belief that Immunocal / HMS 90 has given us a son who now
can function as a normal teenager and will progress into a young adult physically capable of a bright future.
Gayle West
Please note update: Upon speaking to Dean West as of 8/16/00, he is now taking the Immunocal / HMS 90 only once in awhile when he feels his
energy level going down. He is feeling well and NOT taking anything else to help him with his disease. He said he doesnt need to. His words of
wisdom to those who have this disease: Bear with it and keep taking your Immunocal / HMS 90!
Chronic indigestion
Chronic indigestion Testimonial: # 20:
I take HMS90 for my overall health. Specifically, the best benefit I see is that after 20 years of chronic indigestion, the problem is gone. The
constant painful bloating and burning sensation has ceased. It is hard to believe that I don't feel uncomfortable anymore! Immunocal has regulated
my digestion. Mrs. Mary Sutton, Ontario Canada

Cystic Fibrosis Testimonial # 21:
Hi Wally: Here's something that I received from John Molson that you may not have already. A lady in my Toastmasters group is the President of
either the local chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Society or the Canadian President (I got this info second hand so don't know for sure). I had the
opportunity to speak with her at the last Toastmasters meeting and asked if she had heard of HMS-90. She gave me the 'what are you trying to sell
me' look. Then I asked if she had heard of Dr. Larry Lands because he had done a clinical study using HMS-90 with CF patients. Then she gave me
the 'how do you know about him?' look. She told me that she knew 'Larry' quite well. I told her that I would email her some info the next day to read
as the meeting wasn't the time or place.
The next morning I was thinking that the only info I really had was the 1999 reference to the study that 'was being done' but I had nothing that spoke
of the results of this study. I wondered why Dr. Lands hadn't mentioned it to Chris Black (the lady I was speaking to) and if it was because he wasn't
happy with the results. So I emailed John, explained my situation and that Chris would certainly be checking any info I sent about Dr. Lands with him
as she knew he quite well and asked if he had anything more recent to back up the study. He sent me this! It is just perfect. When I emailed it to
Chris, she emailed back a little while later to thank me for the info that said that she will 'love to talk to Larry about this!'.
My physiotherapist (who also wants me to do a presentation for her, her staff and some of her patients before too long) knows Chris quite well and
said that she will definitely go for something like this if she is satisfied that it is legitimate. A Head Nurse at the hospital here (who is an avid XtraSharp fan and has people waiting to buy it!!) also knows her and had the same opinion. In my email to Chris, I also mentioned that I would be happy
to do a presentation to her group if she is interested. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this could turn into something nice. If I read Chris right,
if she is impressed with what HMS-90 can do to help CF patients, she will definitely be spreading the word through, not only her group, but all of the
groups that she is associated with. Here's hoping. Things are going pretty good here, Wally. I have a presentation lined up for Friday although
probably not as many people will show up as I had hoped. The newspaper messed up with my ad and did not put it in this weekend's paper! I have
some flyers around town but ... oh well. A few people have phoned and have said they will be there so guess that's better than no one!
I signed up a naturopath from Ontario a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Hugh for sending her to me as she asked to speak with someone IN
Canada) and a lady from PA last week.
My physiotherapist was very interested in the CF study as well and asked if I would forward her the info too (which I have done) as she knows
someone who works in the Research dept of the U of BC and who is always looking for new information that can help with asthma. No promises but
she was going to be talking (seeing?) her this weekend and wanted the info give her. I have, of course, checked my Immunoweb to see where I
stand now and what my commission cheque is for January. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper! A NICE cheque and ... I'm going to get to Montreal
for free after all! I thought I was quite a bit away from reaching the 40,000 pts but I guess I don't calculate the points the same way that Immunotec
does because, by the end of February, I will be slightly over the 40,000 even if no more new customers or distributors come in! Of course, any new
distributors I will put into Paul's downline to try to reach Gold as soon as possible. I am just thrilled, Wally!
It feels so good to know that I can continue working this business full time! My confidence has increased by leaps and bounds and I have gone from
'thinking' that I can make this work to 'knowing' I can! What a difference that little change makes! Well, that's my update for now. Talk to you later!

Eyesight Testimonial # 27
Carl Schenholm June 5, 2005
My name is Carl Schenholm. I am an 82 year old retired veterinarian, who has had macular degeneration for about 7 years. For about the last 2
years, my condition has been static with scar tissue. I have visited specialists at Wilner Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Bascom Palmer
in Miami, Duke University Eye Center and Dr. Meir Schneider at the Institute for Self Healing in San Francisco. All of them said there was nothing
that could be done because of the scar tissue. After being on 2 to 3 packs a day of Immunocal for 119 days, the spinning lights in the back of my
eyes suddenly turned from white to orange. After 4 more days, I was able to see my face in the mirror while shaving (180 degrees with the left eye)
for the first time in years. I was also able to see my wifes face. The black spot in my central vision of the left eye lightened to gray. I feel there is a
10% improvement in my vision which still remains after 2 months. My right eye seems to be slightly better as of today. August 7, 2005 I am now
taking 2 packs of Immunocal twice a day, and the black areas in both eyes are becoming more porous around the edges. My left eye continues to
see through 180 degrees and my right eye is slightly less foggy in the center. I am continuing to use Dr. Meir Schneiders self-healing techniques,
such as palming and sunning the eyes and reading exercises
Eyesight Testimonial # 28
I stopped the Immunocal just to see what differences there would be. The immediate difference was that my eyesight went back to being slightly
blurry all the time. I'm back on the Immunocal. I wasn't interested in finding out what other differences there were. :>) Linda Atkinson, Admin. Ops.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Testimonial # 29
March 20, 1998 Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia and Immunocal IMMUNOCAL CUSTOMER: Woman, mid-seventies, experiencing
severe, non-relenting pain throughout her entire body, particularly at the top of her head, her feet and her entire left side.
PROGNOSIS: After a recent physical, Mrs. Howseman was told by her doctor that there was nothing they could do for her. She would have to
change her life and accept the limitations therein! Hello, my name is Mrs. Howseman. Im an elderly lady (mid-seventies). I have suffered from
Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis for some time, having tried just about everything on the market to get rid of this problem. NOTHING UP
TO THE TIME I WAS INTRODUCED TO IMMUNOCAL HAD ANY POSITIVE EFFECT AT ALL. Alice Weiss told me about this new product, but I
had given up on any real hope in helping myself. I say given up hope because after my last visit to my doctor, I was informed that the medical people
could do nothing more for me. I was told that Id have to accept pain as a limiting factor in my life. This was very depressing to say the least! My
hairdresser, Alice Weiss, the owner of Bertlynn Hair Stylists, persisted so I tried the Immunocal. After taking the Immunocal for four days, at
three pouches/day, I awoke on the fourth day to a feeling of energy I hadnt experienced in a long time. The pain was not totally gone, but it was
unquestionably less. When I went to place my feet on the floor, an experience always very, very painful for me, I was shocked and happy to fell little
pain. I havent felt this good in years! There is nothing else that I can attribute this change to
and I continue to take one to two pouches/day. Im a very happy person with this change. THERE IS NO DOUBT that I will continue taking
IMMUNOCAL.
Sincerely, Mrs. Howseman
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Testimonial # 32: " L. Christine Soldwisch Monday, February 03, 2003 8:43 PM
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue in 1998. At first I was sick 3 or 4 days out of the month and very tired the rest of the month.
Then it was sick 5-8 days out of the month and fatigued the rest. Then soon it was sick 2 weeks out of the month and exhausted the rest. Then over
the years the pain became more intensified and all over the body. So I used to count the days in the month I was well, then it came down to days in
the week, then day-to-day then minute to minute. There was almost never a time when I wasn't in pain somewhere, or sick with something, or dizzy
and nauseous or all of the above. When I could do so, I would walk, but it was a battle just to do what a mom and wife would normally do everyday. I
had to stop doing the laundry because we live in an apartment and I couldn't walk to the laundry room, (200 ft away). My husband took over that
job. I of course, could not work, I had some days I literally couldn't get out of bed. Sheer exhaustion and feeling sick. Many days I couldn't get my
little one to school because I was so sick feeling. I was put on pain meds and sleep meds and meds for digestive problems, and anti-depressants.
Meanwhile, my brain became so foggy that I literally couldn't always find my way home. My own street seemed unfamiliar to me, I would have to
go to a place 5 or 6 times to remember how to get home. I forgot to pick up my child from school, make deposits, pay bills, call the doctors, etc. My
personality underwent a huge change, my sister says I was snappy and unhappy and impatient at times. I remember being so depressed I felt
hopeless. I became so sensitive to pain that the seams on my jeans hurt me, it burned. If there was a piece of lint or a crumb on my sheets I would
wake up feeling like a rock was burning my leg. Headaches were a part of everyday life, and every night was a continuation of the nasty day
because I woke up every hour or so. I was at the chiropractor once a week sometimes more, took antioxidants, vitamins, and chelation. Tried MSM,
Sam-e, Chondroiton, and anything else that came along to try to get relief, every thing I tried had very limited success. Then my friend, who's son is
dying of cancer, heard about a way to boost your immune system, so she tried it for her son. I asked her to tell me about it, because everything I
had read about my illness, I felt it was an immune system disorder. So she brought me a box of Immunocal to try. I started on 4 packets a day. I felt
that if I was going to get help I needed to be on a high dose. The first day after 4 packets I was standing a little longer and had more energy. That
was nice, but it couldn't be the Immunocal already. The 2nd day I had less pain and found myself piddling around the house. Doing a little
straightening and cleaning and I made dinner that night with no help! The 3rd day I got out of bed in one motion, I was stunned, I hadn't done that
in years, I was starting to get excited! The 4th day I was up and around and walking really well, with about a 40% reduction in pain. Everyday
since then has gotten better. By the end of the first week, I was almost pain free! I was astounded. I signed up to be a distributor. My sister was on
an out of town trip, called me to say she was home, and noticed the sound of my voice was very different. Came to see me and asked why I was
happy, why was I standing without leaning on the counter or finding a chair quickly? I told her about my newfound health and Immunocal and she
became a distributor. We are, needless to say, totally enthused about this product. She says "she got her sister back" and I say "I got my life back"

Fibromyalgia Testimonial: # 42
Hi Karen! To answer your question, my mother has Fibromyalgia...she's had it for 8 years and literally gave up until she met Lee Lewis in a
medical forum online. She used to sleep 17 hours or more a day, wake up to take 2 Percocets and go back to sleep. She had given up on life. After
just 3 days on Immunocal she was given her life back. It is truly amazing! She has been on only one packet a day since November of '03, and I'll be
introducing her to the other products slowly since she has such a sensitive system. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (it will be 2 years in
June). I have the speech slurring and the fatigue. Also, since a tumor is located behind the optic nerve in my left eye, I suffer from Migraines and
eye pulsations. My left eye will close at times, like blinking, yet my right eye blinks normally. I am clinically blind in my left eye. I have to tell you I
was in total denial of my disease. I have 2 wonderful children and I would have rather died than have them suffer with a mother in a wheelchair. (I
had 5 car accidents also, and was put on high risk....that was a very hard thing to handle since I thought I was in total control of my car and in reality
I should never have been driving...2 of those times I was hospitalized, and once I totaled my Jeep Liberty.)
My success on Immunocal was not as fast as my mother's, however my family and friends noticed the difference in me first. Now I can see a more
than just shadows and I don't have the double vision. I began taking just 1 packet a day in mid-December. Now I'm on 2 packets a day, and I feel
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
I am totally convinced about this product, which is why I decided to become a Distributor. My friends want to know just why I lack fatigue now and
why am I so bubbly again? When I tell them that Immunocal is an all natural substance and about all the ailments it has been shown to help, they are
amazed. My doctor even supports this treatment, and I am not taking the MS shots....he's allowing me use Immunocal as a treatment for now with
the stipulation that if I go back to having symptoms, I will be back on the medication shots. I told him "I'm definitely NOT going back to a life with no
future....I have to much to live for now!"
My mother and dad have been away on a trip for the last 2 weeks, which is something she wasn't able to do before Immunocal. My father said to her
one day, "Do you need to rest or lie down a bit?" Her classic response was, "No, do you?????" Gone are the days of sleeping for 17 hours! I truly
believe the most positive point about this company is that there is such a great support system. And my sponsor Lee always has time to answer my
questions. He is such an asset to the company. I am so grateful for regaining a life I thought I had lost! (Smiling)
Take care Karen, Mickee Breslin
Fibromyalgia Testimonial # 43
I have felt so much better on Immunocal. My friend gave me some. I have severe fibromyalgia I mean severe. I hurt all over and vomit in my
sleep and have bad indigestion. My hands go numb and then they burn. I have all the trigger points of fibro. I hurt so bad it is sometimes hard to
walk. Now with Immunocal I have decorated my house for Christmas. I even went grocery shopping, and bagged the grocery shopping which would
be unheard of before. Before, I could barely shop for 10 items. I could not clean my house. I could not fix dinner. Immunocal has given back my life.
Unfortunately, I cant afford to buy it. My best friend and other friend who gave it to me are buying me each a case for Christmas, but after that it will
be back to severe ! pain when that runs out. I have told 10 of my fibro friends about your amazing product. What is the smallest quantity I can
purchase? I will be a guinea pig also for testing so I could get some. I could be one of your case studies. Well, let me know. Thanks so much,
Sincerely, Pam Grissom Wed, 6 Dec 2000
Muscle Performance double blind Study: THE EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A CYSTEINE DONOR ON
MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE
Published in the Journal of Applied Physiology

By LC Lands, MD PhD, VL Grey, PhD,

Montreal, Quebec, Canada
This study was conducted in healthy adults for 1 month using the highest standard of scientific design (peer-reviewed, doubleblind, randomized, prospective and placebo-controlled study) to ensure validity of the results. Statistical calculations were
performed to analyze the results.
NOTE: The Journal of Applied Physiology in the United States, is used by most doctors of Respiratory Medicine. (doctors who
monitor lung issues in health) It is a highly regarded medical journal.
Muscle Performance study for Immunocal/HMS-90 contd
Why is this important to athletes? Exercise increases production of free radicals and oxidative stress which in turn, contributes to
muscular fatigue. To combat muscle fatigue, athletes need to raise their glutathione levels whose biosynthesis is dependant on
cysteine availability. Immunocal/HMS-90 is rich in cysteine making this protein highly bioactive!
A Canadian study, performed by Dr. Larry Lands from the Montreal General Hospital, shows that supplementation with a bonded
cysteine product can increase muscular performance, improve body composition and antioxidant status.
Dr. Lands double-blind study hypothesized that supplementation with a bonded cysteine donor (Immunocal/HMS 90) designed to
augment intracellular GSH would enhance performance. Twenty healthy young adults (ten men and ten women) were studied before
supplementation and three months after supplementation with either Immunocal/HMS 90 or a casein placebo.
Muscular performance was assessed by whole leg isokinetic cycle testing, measuring peak power and thirty-second work
capacity. Lymphocyte GSH was used as a marker of tissue GSH.
Follow-up data showed that supplementation with Immunocal/HMS 90 increased the subjects peak power, thirty-second work
capacity and lymphocyte GSH. Subjects in the placebo group (the other protein, Casein) saw no change.
In addition, the subjects supplemented with Immunocal/HMS 90 had a decrease in their percentage of body fat while
maintaining their weight (muscle mass). Muscle performance was increased by 13% in leg muscle, while GSH levels were
increased by 35.5 %. One would assume that young healthy athletes would have high levels of GSH or glutathione in their
bloodbut they did not.

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

Parkinsons
Parkinsons Testimonial: # 60
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "March 1, 1996 a day I will never forget. It was the day I heard my neurologist say "Sorry doctor but you have Parkinson's." I
was 59 years old with a fabulous dental practice. I had achieved a level of success and respect through out the dental community that most men
only dreamt of achieving. I had planned another ten years of practice then to gradually retire. I was looking forward to traveling the world, winters in
the south filled with golf and tennis, a special time of life to enjoy with my wife but with one word Parkinson's all had changed. My future was dark
and frightening, and all future planning stopped. I was competitive and aggressive in sports, I enjoyed competition, but how do you fight a disease
with no known cure? Self care had always been very important, as a family we eat according to the rules of proper nutrition. My dental office gave
nutritional counseling to the patients. I exercised daily by playing squash and competing in the city squash league. I took vitamin supplements for
over 30 years. How could I get Parkinson's? My attitude changed to "Why bother MY LIFE WAS OVER." You don't need to look after yourself if all
you have to look forward to is sitting in a corner of a nursing home in a wheel chair shaking yourself to death. With movement disorder disease small
simple procedures become major problems. Shoelaces, buttons, dressing, all become stumbling blocks. Walking, something that is so natural for
everyone, now had become a major problem, getting worse with every passing day. My brain could not make my muscles work with the touch
required for fine motor skills. This resulted in frustration that produced a deep and growing anger. I was handicapped and felt ashamed to be seen
limping, I felt alone. But all that has changed, I do have a future and I will enjoy my old age. HMS 90 ( Immunocal) is giving me back my future. I
have been on HMS 90 for one month and I know there are improvements, they are subtle but they are there. First thing in the morning and just
before bedtime, when all the benefit of my Parkinson's drugs has passed, I find my walking has improved. I can tie my shoelaces and do up buttons
faster and my fine motor skills have improved, but the biggest improvement is in my mental attitude, I have a positive sense of well being. I love life
again. We do not know HMS 90's true potential. The body has the capability to repair tissue damage given the proper circumstances. There may be
undifferentiated brain cells that can be adapted to produce dopamine or the brain may be capable of repairing cell damage if the immune system is
restored to peak efficiency. By restoring the immune system the body will be able to repair itself. If one month has produced such a positive
response just imagine the healing after one year of HMS 90, now think of the benefits possible after five years." Sincerely, Murray Chantler Guelph,
Ontario September 20, 2002
Parkinsons Testimonial: # 61
Dear Dr. Petrosino: "I have had excellent results within a few days after I started taking Immunocal. My energy level is 3 times what it was and the
Parkinson's medication is lasting longer between doses. I have even cut back slightly on the meds. I was having a balance problem and now I am
not. I still have the "internal jittery" feeling late afternoon into the evening. I am taking a packet of Immunocal first thing in the morning with about 6
ounces of juice. Do you think it would help (or harm) me if I took a 2nd packet of Immunocal in the afternoon?"

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

Immunocal and my Parkinsons Disease Diary ~ Dr. Lynn J. Tomjack (Denver, CO) Status Report: August 6, 2005
Immunocal Works !!! ... the first (90) days
I first remember the onset of stiffness, the slowing of gait, and the gradual loss of physical mobility in early 1998. But a hectic business travel
schedule and family illnesses, a personal divorce and hundreds of other priorities of life clouded and overshadowed the issues of Parkinsons in my
life. I was simply too busy to be bothered by health issues!
By 2004 the disease was rampant in my body! By mid-2004, Parkinsons was obvious to my close friends and business associates; everyone but
me. I had stiffness in my right arm and leg almost total loss of mobility and range of motion in my right extremities. My stiffness was so great that
in September, 2004 I started writing all my business correspondence and even taking my business project notes in shorthand LEFT HANDED !!!
With the exception of signing checks and legal documents, I had forced myself to become a totally LEFT HANDED person !!! Talk about the ultimate
denial of an illness.
Finally I looked in the mirror Parkinsons Symptoms were evident:
I experienced uncontrolled drooling uncontrollable urination frequency urinary accidents uncontrolled tremors and trembling motion in my
right hand and leg blurred vision lost of strength in my right hand and fingers glassy eyes constant throbbing pain shooting from my right
forearm up through the right shoulder lethargy depression constipation I had it all. In my early 30s
(I am 56 years old now) I took shorthand at 150 words per minute and was able to type at over 100 words per minute. Now, I took shorthand (left
handed) and typed at a plodding 35 words per minute as my right arm laid virtually useless at my right side. I typed with only 3 fingers on my left
hand. Whoever said Parkinsons was not a horrible disease.
December, 2004 my Parkinsons Diagnosis:
Christmas Eve, 2004 at the demonstrative urging of my daughter visiting from CA I made an urgent appointment with my personal physician
in Denver an Internal Medicine MD. Dr. Hussain IMMEDIATELY checked me into Porter Hospital in Denver Dr. Hussain feared I either had /
was a candidate for stroke or heart attack because of my body stiffness and related symptoms. Christmas Eve and most of Christmas Day,
2004 were spent in CAT scans, MRIs and a battery of heart and body tests.
Literally $12,500 later after the tests showed no stroke or heart complications I was transferred to my current Doctor Adam Wolff, MD a
brilliant Neurologist who confirmed my diagnosis as classic Parkinsons.
Below I have listed my medical treatment history with Dr. Wolff. I experienced some relief from the Parkinsons symptoms with the medication
regimen, but overall for the most part, the major disease symptoms remained.
Current Rx History:
Day 3: 1-09-05
Day 30: 2-05-05
Aspirin 81 mg / day
Vitamin C 1000 mg / day
Glucosamine / Chondroitin 1.05 g / 600 mg 2X / day
Calcium Softgel Vitamin D + Calcium + Magnesium + Zinc + Copper
Then a very dear friend of mine (an Immunocal distributor in Denver) Nan R. Schouweiler introduced me to Immunocal.
IMMUNOCAL: Bonded Cysteine Dietary Supplement (Nutraceutical)
Started taking (1 packet 10 grams / day) May 7, 2005.
Today is August 6th, 2005 (90) days after my first packet of Immunocal. Over 90% of my TOTAL pain is gone. My mental alertness has vastly
improved. The Parkinson tremors have dissipated and are better than 90% gone. I am more alert and creative in my consulting work. My physical
stiffness has significantly decreased I am able to tap my fingers rapidly both left and right hand at almost identical speeds for the first time
in 3 years (my 80-year old mother traveled in July to Denver from South Dakota because of concerns over my health and she insisted on
countless pictures of me tapping my fingers rapidly together over and over. ) The overall mobility of my right extremities improves each day.
My quiet decision to try Immunocal for (90) days:
I made the personal decision to start taking Immunocal on May 7, 2005 (1) packet a day faithfully at the insistence of my dear friend, Nan. I
also made a personal decision NOT to tell any of my family I was taking Immunocal. Immunocal would be my (and Nans) private secret. In that way
any placebo effect I might have would be known only to me. All other changes IF ANY caused by the Immunocal would HAVE to be
noticed and observed by others none of whom knew I was taking Immunocal !!!
Immunocal vs Parkinsons Results !!!
About (3) weeks into the Immunocal program (1) packet a day people started talking about significant changes:
My son (Lee) told me I seemed more alert and my eyes were not as glassy as they used to be the scalely look was gone !!!
My sister (a RN) called and said my raspy voice had cleared up and I also seemed much more alert !!!
A close friend (Jim) noticed I seemed to be moving easier and less stiff
My daughter called and said Dad, your mental outlook has greatly improved you seem less depressed and melancholy !!!
My league friends at the bowling alley remarked how much more smooth my bowling approach was and how much HARDER I was
throwing the ball (RIGHT HANDED) than they could ever remember my bowling average from the fall league had also increased over
(50) pins !!!
Other friends remarked I was smiling more than they remembered in years I was actually walking more naturally and not dragging my
right leg with my right arm frozen stiffly at my side

Lupus
Lupus Testimonial # 65:
Donna Maxwell's Story, I was diagnosed in February 2003 with Lupus. I was then put on three different medications including Prednisone. During
the first year of this treatment, my condition slowly worsened despite the medication that had been prescribed. The pain in my joints increased
to the point it was necessary for me to begin taking strong pain medication, throughout the remainder of the year. The nights became very painful
for me to the point that I was unable to even have a good nights sleep, which also began to affect my work as a hair stylist. There were days that I
was unable to even get out of bed and this continued through out the second year, and the only treatment that I was getting from the medical
professionals was they increased the dosage of my medication. The week before March 13, 2005, the pain and suffering was so much that I was
unable to get out of bed; it effected my being able to think correctly. My weight, which had increased due to the Prednisone had increased a good
25% over my normal weight of 110, then drastically fell to below 100 pounds. My blood pressure increased to 180/97. The doctor said that the
protein count in my blood was extremely high and that I would need to take Chemotherapy as the only solution, which I was prepared to do, to save
my life. The treatment for the Chemo was set for the 28th of March. On March 13th, my mother-in-law, who is a strong believer of natural heath and
treatment, heard about Immunocal, and on the 17th, she started me on the product, which I took 1 pack for 2 days, then 2 packs for 2 days, and
then to 4 packs per day. After 10 days of treatment, I started to notice a remarkable improvement in my well being. After 4 weeks of treatment, I felt
like a young 20 year old person again, and I am now 43. This is the best that I have felt in over 20 years. This is the best that I have ever felt and
since I have begun using Immunocal I have not missed one day of work. On the 27th of March, I elected not to have the Chemotherapy to the
doctors dismay, and do not regret it one bit. I am weaning myself off of the Prednisone; I am taking no pain medication at all. To sum it all up, dont
anyone ever try to take away my Immunocal, under the threat of death. I will stay on Immunocal forever. I have a lust for life. Donna Maxwell.
Lupus Testimonial # 66
"I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in 1991. This disease can devastate life, as it has in my case. It can cause damage to all
the systems of the body. I'm also hypersensitive to most medicines used to control the symptoms of Lupus, therefore, I've had to find alternative
methods to control it. This has not been an easy task. But recently a doctor informed me about Immunocal. Since I started using this product I've
experienced a better energy level. So now I can enjoy time with my family and friends. It's also helping to detoxify my body, due to my sweat
glands working better. I'm happy to have a little of my life returned to me." Sincerely,L. Harris, Florida April 11, 2001

Autism
Autism Testimonials # 69
Dear Mr. Roberts:
My name is Natalie Stubbs and I reside outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the USA. My son, Ethan, recently turned 7 and has been taking
Immunocal since he was 6 to 9 months old. At age 4, Ethan was diagnosed with autism. His most recent set of school evaluations show some
unexpected and very exciting results. The school psychologist remarked, "We know Ethan had autism, and now it looks like he does not" and could
not account for that result. He shows a range of neurologic abilities never really anticipated for his autism. I am aware that Immunotec has ongoing
trials involving autism going on in Florida. I wondered if you or any of the doctors would be interested in reviewing Ethan's case as his experience
with your product predates his personal diagnosis of autism and may predate the onset of your trials.
Please feel free to contact me if you believe Ethan's experience would be beneficial to your efforts to help others like him with your wonderful
product. Immunocal has truly given Ethan a more typical life than anticipated and appears to have helped him break the limits of his autism. We
would love to work with you to help others in any way possible.
Respectfully, Natalie G. Stubbs
Depression
Depression Testimonial # 70:
I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. I never told anyone about what I was going through. However, the people closest to me
were aware of my mood swings and how I acted during certain stressful times in my life.
In 2001 I went to my family Doctor to get some help with severe anxiety and depression. Of course, the only thing they can do is prescribe various
popular medications that carry all sorts of other symptoms and side effects for which more medications are prescribed, thereby compounding the
problems. I have never been one to take medications, I usually always try other ways to fix any health problems. I have learned over the years that I
my physiology is extremely sensitive to medications, so I dont like taking anything that makes me feel like Im in a fog. Unfortunately a lot of antidepressants do exactly that. This is one of the many reasons I tend to favor alternative approaches to maintaining my health. So from 2001 to 2003 I
went through many trail and errors of trying to correct these issues. Then a friend came by one evening for dinner, and introduced me to some
products from Immunotec (HMS 90 and Xtra-sharp ) After taking one package a day of HMS 90 and 60mls of sharp each day I noticed that I felt
better. I had more energy, and most importantly I didnt feel the effects of the depression. I felt 100% better in a matter of days and it only took a
short time to STOP all medical prescriptions. Of course, I kept my personal physician completely informed of what I was doing throughout this
period.
I have heard that discontinuing anti-depressant medication carries with it certain withdrawal stages, but I experienced none of that, thanks to
Immunotec!

Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's Testimonial # 71:
My name is June Martin (Distributor #090501), wife of John Martin who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1998. At that time he was forgetful
but we still had a very normal life. By 1999 he had to stop driving and mid-2000 needed to be watched. In July 2002 he was admitted to VA Nursing
Home. Went in walking with a slight unsteadiness, talking and was continent. In Sept. 2003 he was no longer able to walk and was incontinent. By
November 2003 he had pretty much been silent for 7 or 8 months. He wouldn't open his eyes, couldn't sit up in wheelchair, didn't talk (just grunted)
and drooled constantly. Started the Immunocal in October 2003, two packets a day and in December I increased his dosage to four. Started
seeing much improvement. He started sitting up straight, opened his eyes more and started talking again. In June 2004 he went to therapy and was
peddling from his wheelchair, walking with the help of a machine and with no machine the aides held his arms and he walked with them for quite
some distance, talking up a "Storm" while doing so. He said" I'm going to walk home" He is THE STAR of the Nursing Home and the Drs., Nurses
and Aides are my best customers. Especially the aides on double shifts with the Xtra Sharp. THEY LOVE IT!!!! I have very recently purchased a
used handicap van with a ramp so I can bring him home, take him to the Mall and to the beach where we can walk the boardwalk. It really stimulates
him being out as he some times asks me if he'll ever get out of here". John is a "backseat" drives though!! When we got home one day he said,
"When you get a little bit older you'll drive better"! I'm 71 years young and he is a very young 85 and looks great! Other than Alzheimer's John is a
very healthy man. Think he thought of me as one of our kids. I could go on and on. It's a miracle!!! All 21 residents that were in the Alzheimer's
Ward when John went in, have passed away and he has been upgraded (out of that ward) and has gotten much better. God Bless you all at
Immunotec.
I'm a two time cancer survivor so needless to say Im taking Immunocal also. I had two mastectomies. One in 1987 and the other in 1997, My sister
had one in 1952 and is still alive at 80!! My mom died at 85 of breast cancer. My Dad had lung cancer in 1949. They took out lung and he lived
another 15 years. A brother died of brain tumor after surgery at age 36 in 1963. Another brother died of bone cancer at age 47 in 1977. My only
brother left is in a Nursing Home in MA. because of Alzheimer's. Very healthy though otherwise. As soon as I make enough money as Distributor will
send him Immunocal too. SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IMPORTANT IMMUNOCAL IS TO MY FAMILY!!
Thank you! Thank you. Happy Holidays!! June Martin
ALL the BEST

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

Asthma Testimonial # 74:
September 19, 2002
Dear Scott, As you know, I have been using Immunocal for about six months. What you didnt know, until now, is that I was sending some of it to
my brother in Barbados. His eleven-year-old daughter has asthma and, although she has been to three different doctors, she was getting very little
relief. About two months ago, I received a call from my brother who informed me that after ten days of using the Immunocal, his daughters
symptoms had virtually disappeared. He was surprised and delighted, to say the least. But here is the REALLY amazing part: Just to convince
himself that it was the Immunocal that had made his daughter better, he stopped giving it to her. And after a week all of her symptoms returned the
coughing, the wheezing, and the shortness of breath. He then put her back on the Immunocal, and within three days she was back to her healthy
self, once again. Now he buys the Immunocal locally, in Barbados, and he is convinced that if he continues to give it to her she may be cured in
about a years time. I dont know about anyone else but Im sold on this product. I think it is truly amazing.
Sincerely, Jason
Allergies
Allergies Testimonial # 75 : Peter Reed
Dear Hugh and Dr. Petrosino: Please send another (2) two more 30-pack boxes of Immunocal to my mailing address. My wife and I are finding
great value in using your Immunocal. Both of us have severe seasonal pollen allergies. Denise was taking over the counter drugs twice a day to
control her symptoms. She has not taken these drugs in the two weeks since she began using Immunocal and it is the height of her allergy season.
What surprised me was that her relief came within 24-hours of starting the protocol. Taking Immunocal twice a day is giving her better symptomatic
relief than those drugs and they had side effects. Thank you! I have been taking Immunocal for three weeks. It took three years of allergy shots to
reduce my allergies to this low of a level of symptoms. I have been through 4 protocols of allergy shots in my thirty-seven years of suffering. None
have worked better than Immunocal and certainly none have worked as quickly. Sincerely Peter Reed Oakland, California

Hi Scott,
I tried calling, but was told your voice mail was not set up yet. So thought I'd write. I am doing well. In fact, on June 1st, when I turned 71 years old, I
did a tandem sky dive. It was wonderful and I plan on doing one every birthday for as long as I can. I never miss taking my Immunocal, and since I
have been taking it, I have not been sick for one day. There have been people with colds and flu all around me. I clean for several people and have
been in homes where there were sick people that sounded pretty contagious, but I never came down with anything. I feel I have Immunocal to thank,
and also you Scott for bringing it to my attention. By the way, we jumped out at 13 thousand feet, then five thousand feet of free fall at 120 miles
an hour (that took l minute) and then floated the rest of the way. It was just GREAT. Hope all is going well on your end. Sincerely, Elinor

Toxic exposures
Tobacco abuse
An experiment in preventive medicine was conducted by S. De Flora and his research team at the Institute of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine,
University of Genoa. Patients were placed on a course of oral NAC tablets or placebo during the months of the influenza season. Although the
number of people infected by the virus was unchanged, subjects receiving NAC experienced significantly fewer and less virulent symptoms.
ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma causes constriction of the bronchioles (airway passages). Figure 34 shows the windpipe and lungs, and cross-sections of normal
and narrowed air passages (bronchioles). Asthma is always unpleasant and sometimes even fatal. The intensity of asthma attacks vary, but all are
characterized by a feeling of tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, restlessness, coughing and wheezing. Although asthma is reversible and
intermittent, it tends to recur and is generally considered a chronic condition. It is one of the most common causes of absenteeism and hospital
admission in school-age children, among whom it is most prevalent. It currently affects about 15 million Americans and is on the rise.
Asthma is variable in frequency and severity and can be triggered by a very wide variety of stimuli, including allergens (things that provoke an
allergic response). These include dust, pollen, dander (tiny particles of animal skin, fur and feather), certain foods and drugs, viral infections,
emotional stress, anxiety and even plain old exercise. Muscles within the walls of the bronchioles flex and go into spasm, the walls thicken, air
passages become clogged by mucus, and air is trapped in the deepest airways (the alveoli). The wheezing sound is caused by air passing with
difficulty through these narrowed passages. In its severest form, breathing become impossible and the patient suffocates.
Asthma sufferers should make an effort to identify and avoid the triggers that cause their attacks, whether allergic, infectious, toxic, or emotional.
They can also take preventative medications antihistamines and sodium cromoglycate. These minimize the effects of all allergic response. Once
an attack is in progress other drugs are needed to reopen (dilate) the walls of the bronchioles. These are called bronchodilators and are commonly
used in inhalers such as salbutemol or albuterol. Inhaled or ingested steroids are also available. They minimize the swelling and inflammation of the
bronchial walls. In any case, once an attack has begun, treatment must be immediate and aggressive. The longer an attack lasts, the more the
symptoms advance and the longer they take to reverse. There is little time to waste.
It has been long thought that low levels of glutathione and glutathione peroxidase levels play a role in the onset and progression of asthma.
Numerous studies in asthmatics have identified such abnormalities in their red-blood GSH, white-blood cell GSH, serum GSH, platelet GSH and
lung-fluid GSH. There is a direct correspondence between low glutathione levels and the severity of the asthma attack.
Dietary, environmental, and genetic factors that diminish the potency of the antioxidant systems in the lung increase the risk of asthma. This
relationship between antioxidant levels and asthma is seen in situations of elevated free-radical activity. Examples are lead poisoning, excessive
iron stores and G6PD-deficiency, as well as low levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium (a component of glutathione peroxidase).
A recent presentation to the American Lung Association by pulmonologist Dr. Carol Trenga described an antioxidant cocktail that helped asthmatics
who were particularly sensitive to air pollutants. European physicians have long used GSH precursors in the treatment of asthma, particularly as a
mucolytic (phlegm thinner) to break down thick secretions. In a double-blind study, inhaled bronchodilators were used with and without NAC. The
NAC (GSH-enhanced) group experienced greater improvement in pulmonary function than the control group.
CASE STUDY
Jean-Pierre, a financial analyst, suffered from allergies and asthma his whole life. Summers were particularly bad and he often had to leave his
native Montreal for weeks in August to escape the ragweed allergy season. In early summer, he was started on a program of NAC (Nacetylcysteine), L-cysteine, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, multivitamins and stinging nettle (Urtica dioici). That season, he reported having to use his
Ventolin inhaler (salbutemol, a bronchodilators for asthma) only two or three times a week, rather than two or three times a day, and his use of
antihistamine drugs was at a minimum. Hes even ventured to go camping with his girlfriend.
BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, AND COPD
Bronchitis is an inflammation or obstruction of the bronchi, the larger airways that eventually branch out to become the bronchioles (the site of
asthma). It resembles asthma in some ways, their common symptoms being shortness of breath, a phlegm-producing cough, chest discomfort and
occasional wheezing. Bronchitis has two distinct forms acute or chronic. They differ in important ways.
Acute bronchitis is almost always caused by infection, either viral or bacterial. Coughing, chest pains, fever and chills are common complaints. In
the healthy individual, it is usually a short-lived illness that clears up once the infection is overcome. If the infection is bacterial or mycoplasmal,
antibiotics may be required. Occasionally, some inflammation remains, leading to a post-inflammatory cough that may persist for weeks. Inhaled
steroids are often prescribed for this condition.
Like emphysema (described below), chronic bronchitis is an ongoing illness requiring frequent medical attention. Although it may be exacerbated by
infectious disease, chronic bronchitis is usually caused by long-term exposure to lung irritants toxins, allergens or repeated bouts of acute
bronchitis. The most common cause of chronic bronchitis is cigarette smoke.
Lungs exposed to tobacco smoke are subject to several pathological processes. One of the most critical is the dysfunction or loss of cilia lining the
airways. Cilia are microscopic hair-like structures that trap and remove dust, mucus and other debris. A single puff of a cigarette can paralyze these
hairs, increasing the chances of subsequent lung injury and infection.
As chronic bronchitis progresses, the lungs ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide diminishes. In an attempt to compensate for the loss of
pulmonary function, energy demands increase, the chest muscles work harder and the heart pumps faster. This in turn can lead to secondary
diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and emphysema.
Emphysema progresses slowly over time and is usually the result of prior lung disease. Chronic cough and shortness of breath are typical
symptoms. Although it may occasionally be caused by hereditary factors, environmental exposures, chronic asthma or chronic bronchitis,
emphysema most often results from years of heavy smoking. It is the most common cause of death from respiratory disease in North America.
Emphysema shares many symptoms with chronic bronchitis. In fact, the two diseases usually overlap to some degree. They are often classed
together under the heading COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). However, they differ anatomically. Emphysema results in irreversible
damage to alveoli tiny sac-like structures where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. Alveoli are counted in the millions, like
bubbles in a bubble bath. Emphysema causes them to burst one by one. They then coalesce into fewer, larger sacs. As a result, their total surface
area dwindles, decreasing the amount of air that can be exchanged by each breath.
It is well known that most lung diseases are characterized by weak antioxidant activity and impaired glutathione-related enzyme systems. Taking
advantage of this information, a group of French researchers tested to see whether GSH screening could predict a predisposition to pulmonary
diseases. They tested subjects for the absence of a gene (GSTM1) responsible for a specific GSH enzyme. About 47% of the French population
lacks this gene. They found that heavy smokers with moderate chronic bronchitis were missing this gene 66% of the time and that smokers with
severe chronic bronchitis were deficient in 71% of cases. They concluded that factors diminishing GSH function in this case a hereditary factor
put individuals at higher risk for respiratory problems.
Other studies determined that COPD patients were very sensitive to low GSH levels after even light exercise, demonstrating the precarious balance
of glutathione in these patients and the great importance of maintaining adequate stores of GSH.
N.C. Hansen and his team at Odense University in Denmark conducted a double-blind study of the general well-being of patients with mild chronic
bronchitis. They administered oral NAC during the winter months to these patients, and placebo to a similar group. Of the two groups, the GSHenhanced group did much better on a GHQ (general health questionnaire). Several other research teams have studied the use of oral NAC as a
preventative measure. Although it didnt significantly reduce the number of chronic bronchitis attacks, their severity measured by symptoms and
days off work was greatly reduced.
In a large open study of over two thousand patients, K.P. Volkl, B. Schneider from Hanover Medical School in Germany showed that the use of NAC
led to clear improvements in symptoms and pulmonary function. The four-week study included patients with acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchial
asthma and emphysema. All groups had similar improvement in their disease.
SMOKING AND GSH
There is no longer any doubt that cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for chronic bronchitis, emphysema, COPD, cancer and cardiovascular
disease. One of the ways in which cigarette smoke damages the body is by profoundly raising the extent of oxidative stress in the lungs.
A single puff of cigarette smoke contains billions of free radicals and can literally burn up antioxidants. But this isnt the worst of it. A still greater
source of oxidative stress results from the lung inflammation resulting from smoking. The total oxidative damage caused by smoke corresponds
directly to the degree of lung injury, respiratory compromise, morbidity and mortality found in individual patients.
Pharmacologists are investing the use of inhaled GSH to prevent the occurrence or progression of emphysema in smokers. As a GSH precursor,
NAC is receiving equal attention. Double blind studies in smokers using NAC demonstrate the enhanced ability of their lungs to clear away thick
secretions in their airways.
R.B. Balansky at the Institute of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine in Italy exposed rats to high levels of cigarette smoke. This led to decreased body
weight, intense pathological damage of the terminal airways, inflammation of the bronchial and bronchiolar linings, alveolar damage, emphysema,
white blood cell abnormalities and pre-cancerous lesions. Rats given daily NAC at the same time suffered significantly less damage, demonstrating
the protective role of GSH against lung damage and the onset of cancer.
Smokers are also more prone to the development of infectious bronchitis and pneumonia. Chronic bronchitis in smokers results in increased
bacterial colonization. Treatment with NAC has decreased both the frequency of infectious episodes and the virulence of the bacteria.
ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (ARDS)
ARDS is acute, life-threatening respiratory failure following pulmonary injury. It leads to profound dyspnea (shortness of breath), pulmonary edema
(fluid accumulation in the lungs) and hypoxemia (oxygen starvation). This all-too-common medical emergency is caused by a number of different
acute processes that directly or indirectly damage the lung. They include bacterial or viral pneumonias, inhalation of stomach contents or other
toxins, direct trauma to the chest, sepsis (overwhelming generalized infection), profound circulatory shock, drowning and many other medical
conditions. Even with appropriate therapy the survival rate is only about 50%. Long-term complications include the eventual development of
pulmonary fibrosis.
ARDS is a very complicated inflammatory process of which edema is only one facet. In the past, physicians treated this disorder aggressively with
corticosteroids, because of their well-known anti-inflammatory properties. Unfortunately, randomized trials have shown that steroids are relatively
ineffective against this disease. A hunt is on for useful treatments.
For several reasons, ARDS patients experience high levels of oxidative stress and subsequent depletion of antioxidants and glutathione. One cause
may be the release of free radicals at the injury site by endotoxins. Endotoxins are produced by certain bacteria, though only released when the
bacteria die. However, most of this oxidative stress probably comes from inflammation. Some white blood cells (neutrophils) are very active at sites
of inflammation, producing very large amounts of reactive oxygen species, such as free oxygen radicals, hydrogen peroxide, hot oxygen, and
others.
Recognizing the severe oxidant-antioxidant imbalance and GSH depletion that comes with this condition, many researchers have pt NAC under the
spotlight. G.R. Bernard and his team at Vanderbilt University tested the usefulness of intravenous NAC for the lungs. Both in the lab and in clinical
trials they found increased oxygen delivery, improved lung compliance (elasticity) and an improvement in the condition of pulmonary edema patients.
Trials with another GSH precursor OTZ (Procysteine) led to similar results and reduced the duration of lung injury.
In a larger double-blind study, P.M. Suters group at the University of Geneva used intravenous NAC on intensive care patients. Compared to a
control group, the NAC patients showed significant improvement in oxygenation and required less time on mechanical ventilators (life support).
PULMONARY FIBROSIS
Pulmonary fibrosis is also called fibrosing alveolitis or interstitial fibrosis, among other things. It is a non-specific condition in which the lungs
respond to damage by the production of scar tissue (fibrosis). This leads to stiffness of the lungs and difficulties clearing secretions. It also
interferes with gas exchange. Its causes include numerous bacterial, viral or fungal infections and inhaled toxins, dusts (organic and inorganic) and
chemicals. Occasionally stomach contents can be inhaled to the detriment of the lungs. Other diseases are involved less often, such as certain
autoimmune disorders (mistaken immune response to healthy processes), sarcoidosis (a multi-system inflammatory disorder), or collagen-vascular
diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, polyarteritis nodosa, scleroderma and dermatomytosis). This disease is often an unwanted result of radiation
therapy or chemotherapy. The standard treatments have limited success.
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the causes and conditions of many types of pulmonary fibrosis. J. Behr and his group of pulmonologists
from the University of Munich studied this phenomenon both in laboratory cultures and in pulmonary fibrosis patients. Because pulmonary fibrosis is
an inflammatory disorder, their treatment includes therapy to suppress the immune inflammatory response. With the help of NAC, patients
pulmonary function tests improved and the number of oxidative breakdown products fell. By using aerosolized NAC, Z. Borok from the NIH (National
Institute of Health) revered the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in pulmonary fibrosis patients. Both NAC and aerosol GSH have shown success in this
situation. Clearly, both oral and inhaled NAC can successfully raise pulmonary GSH levels.
In patients with pulmonary fibrosis, fibroblasts cells in part responsible for the fibrous scar tissue grow excessively in both number and activity.
When tissue cultures were made of these cells, it was found that the presence of GSH down-regulated their growth. This implies that GSH may slow
the progress of pulmonary fibrosis.
CASE STUDY
With a background in law from her native France, Nona became actively involved with business and philanthropological pursuits in Canada. She
was a 41 year-old mother of three suffering from Hodgkins disease and requiring both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Although these treatments
cured her of Hodgkins disease, the treatments left her lungs scarred the condition of pulmonary fibrosis. Her interests had to be dropped as her
breathing deteriorated. She ended up staying at home, using home oxygen and many medications. Despite all interventions, her pulmonary
function tests (PFTs) continued to fall. After six weeks of Immunocal 20 grams/day she went back to her pulmonary doctor, claiming she could
breath again. Thinking there might be a placebo effect; the physician repeated her pulmonary function tests, which showed her back at about 90%
of normal values. To eliminate other possibilities, the Immunocal was withdrawn. She subsequently deteriorated again. Three weeks after
reinstating the Immunocal, her PFTs went back up to 95% of normal values. She promised herself never to stop again.
CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Cystic fibrosis affects many organ systems, but particularly the lungs. It is also called mucoviscidosis because it secretes a sticky mucus which
neither lubricates nor flows freely in the nose, throat, airways and intestines. Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common inherited diseases in North
America and affects some 30,000 people. Survivors live to an age of about 28 years, depending on the extent of pulmonary involvement.
Cystic fibrosis is most often classified as a disorder of the exocrine glands, and primarily affects the pancreas in fibrocystic pancreatic disease, the
sweat glands, and pulmonary mucus production in mucoviscidosis. The problem stems from an inherited defect in the gene responsible for secreting
certain fluids from these glands.
The disease often becomes apparent early in life. As babies, cystic fibrosis patients have extremely frequent digestive difficulties. Their pancreas
do not provide enough digestive juice. This leads to malabsorption (poor ability to use nutrients) and malnutrition. Their skin loses large amounts of
salt and they may sweat profusely. The lungs secrete a very thick (viscous) mucus that can obstruct airways, causing coughing, wheezing, and
recurrent lung infections. Comprehensive and intensive therapy with health workers specialized in nursing, nutrition, physical therapy ad respiratory
therapy is essential for this problem.
Dr. Larry Lands, director of the cystic fibrosis clinic at McGill University in Montreal, aptly points out that inflammation is central to cystic fibrosis, that
inflammation always precedes lung infection, and that lung infection almost inevitably follows severe inflammation. Continued inflammation depletes
antioxidants and GSH even more and a vicious circle ensues.
The decrease of GSH in cystic fibrosis is noticeable in the fluid lining of the lungs (epithelial lining fluid), and also in blood serum, red blood cells and
elsewhere. This points to whole-body depletion as a result of ongoing oxidative stress.
Cystic fibrosis patients are at even further risk of antioxidant depletion because of pancreatic involvement leading to digestive difficulties and poor
absorption of essential nutrients. Many researchers are investigating the use of supplemental antioxidants in this disease, including Lands team
investigating Immunocal, the whey-based GSH precursor.
NAC as long been utilized in an aerosol form to break down mucus accumulation in cystic fibrosis patients. It can be used in the same way for
asthma, bronchitis, COPD, emphysema, pneumonia and other situations where thick secretions impair pulmonary function.
CASE STUDY
Eight year-old Zach, a cystic fibrosis patient, loved baseball. He was smaller than the rest of the kids, but it was shortness of breath and recurrent
respiratory problems, not height, that kept him off the team. He took more care of his nutritional needs and was good about taking his additional
vitamin and antioxidant supplementation. His parents learned how to provide him with home aerosol treatments by mask. He has been using both
oral and nebulized (by mask) Mucomyst (N-acetylcysteine). Although primarily used as a bench-warmer, Zach is back on the team.
CONCLUSION
An impressive amount of research has made clear the critical importance of antioxidants and GSH in all these pulmonary diseases. Unlike most
other tissues, the lungs can use GSH as-is through direct contact rather than having to first absorb its precursors and then manufacture it, s is
the case elsewhere in the body. There are many ways to elevate pulmonary GSH, including oral, intravenous and inhaled therapies. In the next few
years we will see increased use of these products to raise glutathione levels in acute, chronic and critical care patients.

Brian's Battle by Karen O'Handley Testimonial # 84:
Wouldn't you agree that when someone you love is very ill, you would search high and low to find something to help them. regain their health? Most
assuredly you would. And when you find that "something" that helps your loved one, wouldn't you want others to know about it? Without a doubt! My
name is Karen O'Handley, and I have been asked by many people to write this story about my son, because it has given hope to those going
through their own difficult health challenges.
In May of 2002 I took my 19 year old son Brian to our primary physician Dr. Raymond Dann because of a swollen, area on the right side of his
back. Brian thought he might have pulled a muscle while playing baseball, however the swelling wasn't going down. Since the location of the
swelling also involved the underside of his right arm, I was hoping another possibility might be a swollen lymph gland. Upon examining Brian, Dr.
Dann immediately became concerned about the look and feel of the area, so he ordered a CT scan to be performed the next morning. Four days
later Brian and I went back for the results.
Imagine my complete shock and disbelief when we were told that the CT scan showed the following: a large tumor in Brian's right scapula
(shoulder blade), as well as a large mass under his right arm; a growth in the sternum bone in his chest that had already damaged the bone; a
growth over his heart the size of a small fist; and multiple metastases (nodules) in BOTH of his lungs. It was impossible for me to comprehend that
my only child had stage IV cancer, because at 6'2" with an athletic build he looked as healthy as a horse, and he was not in any pain. Plus, he had
never smoked or abused alcohol or drugs, and he lived a morally clean lifestyle. He was also very active with baseball, basketball and football, and
he played the drums and the guitar. I can only imagine the thoughts that were racing through Brian's mind when he heard the news! I tried my best
to remain strong for my son's sake, but the tears flowed down my face as I drove us home from the doctor's office.
Later that same week Brian had a full body bone scan, and a biopsy was performed on the mass under his right arm. A few days later we were given
the diagnosis: Ewing's Sarcoma/PNET, a rare and very aggressive cancer that most often strikes young children. It is usually a bone cancer,
however it can be soft tissue, and in Brian's case it was both. Naturally, I knew nothing about this cancer, in fact I had never heard of it -- but I had to
quickly educate myself. This was an emotionally difficult thing to do, because everything I read was absolutely horrifying, as well as depressing.
There is a very low survival rate with Ewing's and it is very difficult to stop this cancer because it is so resistant to treatment. In some cases, the
tumors are known to double in size daily.
Next, armed with all Brian's test results, we visited 2 oncologists, a surgeon and a radiologist to see what could be done to help my son. However,
because of the spread of the cancer, at that point surgery and/or radiation were out of the question. The only treatment that could be recommended
was mega, doses of chemo, however the possible side effects from the treatment were horrific. We were told that any of the following could happen:
brain hemorrhaging, collapsed veins, spontaneous internal bleeding, heart damage, liver damage, kidney damage, bladder damage, sterility, and
severe deep depression. The question rolling around in my mind after hearing the list of possible side effects was: Which was the lesser of two evils - the aggressive cancer or the toxic treatment? Additionally, we were told he would need blood transfusions every 3 - 4 weeks due to the damage to
his blood supply from the chemo. All of this was unacceptable to me, on many levels. Also, it didn't make sense to fill my son with toxic chemicals
when he already had a severely
weakened immune system -- why else would he have cancer? I decided there had to be another answer "out there", and that I had to build up Brian's
immune system before he could undergo such a dangerous medical treatment. For the next 7 months we visited many natural practitioners,
herbalists and nutritionists, as well as a renowned cancer clinic in Mexico. With the help and support of our loving friends, donations were collected
and several fund raisers were held in order to raise the many thousands of dollars that had to be spent in order to use these types of natural
supplements and treatments, because our health insurance covered none of it. Unfortunately, these natural treatments were not strong enough to
stop Ewing's Sarcoma. In fact, the most visible sign of the cancer -- the mass under Brian's arm -- was rapidly growing larger.
It had grown so huge that he could no longer put his arm down by his side, and his skin covering the mass had deep purple stretch marks because
of the rapid growth. Outwardly, the mass had wrapped around to the front of his chest, and was pushing in the right side of his chest. Inwardly, it was
wrapping around his lung. The bones of his right shoulder and the top of his arm were pulled out of alignment because of the expansion of the mass,
so his right shoulder sloped downward and became 2-3 inches wider than the left shoulder. His upper body was noticeably deformed. He was now
also in a lot of physical pain, as well as emotional pain. (Visualize slicing a football lengthwise, placing one of those halves under your arm,
contouring it to your shoulder blade to wrap around to the front of your chest. Imagine how you would feel, and how Brian must have felt.) At this
point, the only thing my son wanted to do was close his eyes and go to sleep in death. I was at my wit's end, because it was obvious nothing natural
was going to stop this monster growing inside him. I knew he would have to undergo the mega doses of chemo -- but what was going to protect his
body from the horrific side effects? I had spent many sleepless nights worrying about my son, but this night in particular was very difficult. I felt as
though Brian was a lamb going to the slaughter, and I beseeched God with many tears that night to show me what to do for my son, and send me to
the right person to help him.
The next morning at 8:00 the phone rang, and it was a woman named Betty Murray -- a friend of a friend. She had heard about Brian from one of my
closest friends, Joyce Keenan, and about how I was searching for something to help his immune system. She called to tell me about a product with a
strange name: IMMUNOCAL. I remembered my tearful prayer the night before, and I knew then and there that I was supposed to listen to what she
had to say. Betty told me right away that she didn't know a lot about Immunocal because she was a new distributor and just learning about the
product, so she was smart enough to get an expert on the phone to talk to me -- Jim Spencer.
Jim is an Independent Entrepreneur with Immunotec Research Ltd., the developers of Immunocal. He travels around the U.S. as a spokesperson
for the company conducting health seminars to teach people about a simply wonderful molecule in each cell of our body, called "glutathione". He
helped me to understand what role glutathione plays in the cells: that it's the "master antioxidant", an immune system booster, and a detoxifier. He
explained that Immunocal is a biologically active, undenatured whey protein isolate which supplies the body with the "precursors", or building
blocks, for the cells to make more of their own supply of this precious antioxidant. In the case of someone with cancer, the tumors themselves are
very high in glutathione, which contributes to their rapid growth and explains why they are often resistant to even chemo and radiation. A very
interesting thing happens, however, when a cancer patient eats Immunocal daily. The healthy cells INCREASE their supply of glutathione, while the
tumor cells become DEPLETED in glutathione! This phenomenon is called "negative feedback inhibition", and it is extremely useful for treating
cancer. It was clear to me this was exactly what I had been
looking for over the past 7 months -- something non-toxic and natural to build Brian's immune system and also protect his organs and blood
supply while undergoing the rigors of chemo! The icing on the cake was when I was told that Immunocal is in The Physician's Desk Reference as
well as The Pharmacist's Redbook, and it also has a method-of-use patent as an "anti-cancer therapeutic agent" (as well as 5 other method-ofuse patents in other applications). And there is over 20 years of research on Immunocal, along with multitudes of clinical studies. I wanted Brian
on it immediately, and I wanted to take it too, because it's NOT just for cancer patients. We ALL need to be eating Immunocal -- including
children -- because of the polluted environment we live in. The water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe -- our bodies are rapidly
breaking down from all the toxins and the stresses of life in this system of things. Immunocal is "food for the immune system", and gives us the
help we need. I immediately put Brian on the recommended dose for cancer patients -- 4 packs of Immunocal daily. Yet I also wanted to take it,
and I wanted us to take some of the other unique products that Immunotec Research makes. But where was all the money going to come from? I
was, and still am, a single parent, and I needed to be home with my son monitoring his recovery, yet I had to find a way to support both of us and
pay for all these products. I definitely had "a big-enough WHY" for needing the freedom to work from home, and I saw that I could be financially
rewarded for telling people about the importance of Immunocal for them and their loved ones. So, in my typical style, I "dove right in" and started
my first home-based business in Dec.'02, even though I had no office equipment and I had never done network marketing before. That did not
stop me, however, because I knew I would learn the business as I went along, and I had faith that the office equipment would somehow
materialize ... which it did!
To make a VERY long story a little bit shorter: Brian went through 4 months of the mega doses of chemo beginning in March '03, under the
supervision of oncologist Dr. Leo Orr. The only side effect he experienced was total hair loss, which rapidly grew back when chemo ended. He
maintained a good appetite, and he gained 10 pounds. Blood transfusions were never suggested, and he never became anemic. When his white
blood cell count would drop as expected after each round of chemo, he simply had to give himself Neupogen shots in the thigh for a few days,
and the WBCs would go up again. The huge mass under his arm responded very quickly to the chemo by softening, and then slowly it began to
shrink. When the chemo protocol was completed, another CT scan was performed so a comparison could be made to the original one done in
May '02. Dr. Orr gave us a lot of positive news: the metastases (nodules) in the lungs were shrinking, and there weren't as many; the mass over
his heart was completely GONE, and the heart returned to it's normal size (in the previous scan it was noticeably swollen); the cancer in the
sternum was GONE, and the damaged bone healed in and was smooth in appearance (even Dr. Orr was amazed at that, because chemo does
not HEAL anything -- it is designed to destroy -- yet Brian's body healed itself while he was on chemo). The mass under his arm was shrinking
and the primary tumor in his shoulder blade was a little bit smaller, so the green light was given for Brian to begin 6 weeks of radiation
treatments, 5 days per week. (NOTE: I also give credit for the recovery of Brian's bones to another unique product that Immunotec Research
makes called PURE MILK CALCIUM, which we take everyday.) Radiation therapy began a few weeks later under the supervision of Dr. Eva
Lean and Dr. David Hodgens, and the targeted area was the right shoulder blade and the mass under his arm. I was expecting some kind of
nasty side effects because I had read a lot about radiation complications. But the only thing Brian experienced was bright pink skin, which looked
like a sun burn. It never hurt, nor did it require any cream or lotion. While undergoing this treatment the mass under his arm got MUCH smaller -it was obvious the cancer cells were dying quickly, and not resistant at all. (I continued giving him 4 packs daily of Immunocal throughout all of
the radiation treatment - - in fact he's never been off of it since the first day I gave it to him.)
New tests were needed to determine the effectiveness of the radiation therapy. Oncology surgeon Dr. William Bowman had to determine if
surgery was necessary to remove any remains of the tumor from the shoulder blade. We waited the required 6 weeks after radiation before
having more tests, then Brian had a full body bone scan and an MRI of his upper body in Dec.'03. When the results came in, we received
fabulous news from Dr. Bowman ... there is NO CANCER in any of Brian's bones, including his shoulder blade, which meant he did not need
surgery! Next we received the MRI results and more great news ... the metastases are ALL GONE in his lungs; the heart and the sternum are all
clear and ALL OF HIS ORGANS ARE "NORMAL", including his lymph glands. Finally, in Jan.'04 Brian had a biopsy of the area where the mass
had been. The biopsy slides were examined at the pathology lab where the procedure was performed, and then they sent the slides for
confirmation to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia to be reviewed by a specialist. Both labs confirmed it ... no cancer cells were found ... MY
SON IS CANCER FREE! Isn't that amazing? What an incredible blessing! We didn't expect to hear such fabulous news after just ONE YEAR of
taking Immunocal daily. I was expecting that we'd be fighting this battle a lot longer, so you can imagine how relieved we feel! From this point
Brian will have follow up MRIs and labs (blood work, etc.) every 4 months so we can monitor his recovery.
As I write this (April 2004), Brian is 21 years old and will be 22 in July. It was just under 2 years ago, in May 2002, he was first diagnosed with a
deadly stage IV cancer. He has his life in front of him again, thanks to Immunocal and the excellent medical care he received from many caring,
talented doctors and nurses. Brian's primary physician, Dr. Raymond Dann, tells his patients: "Immunocal is the reason Brian is alive today." So
naturally, he will stay on Immunocal for the rest of it! He is presently taking 3 packs daily, and I will keep him on that dose for a long time
because he's going through a tremendous recovery process. After all, his body has been through quite a trauma, and his immune system needs
to recover not only from the cancer, but the chemo and radiation as well. We just have to be patient, which can be hard, because Brian wants "to
make up for lost time" and get on with his life. And naturally, I want that for him too.
In closing, I thank God for allowing Dr. Gustavo Bounous to make the discovery of a simple whey protein that helped the control mice in a clinical
study to live longer than the ones that were not fed the specialized protein, even when the control mice were injected with cancer cells. I also thank
God for giving my son his life back, when surely he was going to die from such a horribly aggressive cancer. I am so grateful that Betty Murray had
the courage to call to tell me what she knew, because she was an answer to my prayers. And I am also grateful to Immunotec Research for the
opportunity to make a living working full time from my home, helping people regain their health while also helping those in my downline organization
that are committed to increasing their income. What's not to like about that?
I look forward to an enjoyable future with this wellness company, Immunotec Research Ltd., and the pleasure of seeing my family and friends
flourish. I sincerely hope you take the time to investigate how Immunocal can help you and all you know to improve their health as well! Warm
Regards, Karen O'Handley
her about Immunocal. Rene's doctor, who had contacted Dr. Bounous himself, saw no reason why Rene couldn't take this supplement.'' It is now
past six months that Rene has been adding Immunocal to his daily regimen, with surprising efficacy.
Dr. Bounous points out that ``the discovery that specific whey proteins slow carcinogenesis (the process of cancer formation) and tumor growth itself
have been confirmed by researchers in Australia, the US and Europe. The tests were conducted on different species of animals and on different
types of tumors. These remarkable proteins which are also found in mother's breast milk, encourage the cellular production of glutathione, which acts
to strengthen the cells of the immune system. We can presume that under these conditions, the immune system is more effective in combating
renegade cells and small tumors.
``Preliminary results are encouraging but this theory must be proven scientifically,'' continues Dr. Bounous. ``This is why the work of renowned
researchers like Dr. Lands is necessary.''
Studies on Immunocal will be presented next May at an international conference in New York organized by the Mount Sinai Hospital. They will deal
specifically with the manipulation of cellular glutathione in the treatment of cancer and AIDS.
That's just the beginning."
Cline Dion's Husband Rene Angelil declared Cancer-Free
Excerpted from an eonline.com news report by Marcus Errico
Jun 9, 2000, 1:15 PM PT
"Pop music's most celebrated wannabe mom is (finally) with child.
The hitherto fertility-challenged Celine Dion has announced she's due next March.
"We just found out," she says in a statement Friday. "In three weeks, if all goes well, we'll hear the heart of our baby, beating inside of my tummy."
Last week, Dion, 32, confirmed that she had undergone fertility treatment in New York to help her jump-start a family with 57-year-old managerhubby Rene Angelil. Apparently the procedure was successful.
The news ends a year-long disheartening period for the "My Heart Will Go On" diva. A year ago, she announced she was semi-retiring from
musicdom to concentrate on raising a family and spending time with Angelil, who was recovering from cancer. (In her statement today, Dion says
recent tests have shown no cancer in her husband.)
Then in February, Dion filed a $20 million lawsuit against The National Enquirer, saying it falsely reported she was pregnant with twins. "This thing
has really upset me," Dion said at the time. "Since the story came out, everyone has been congratulating me, and I have to keep telling them that it's
not true. I only wish it was true, and I hope and pray that some day it will be."
Her prayers apparently have been answered. "This time it's for real--I'm pregnant," her statement Friday reads. "We are completely, totally happy.
And we thank God for the great joy we've been given.
"Over this past year, we went through a terrible test together, but we made it through stronger, closer, more loving than ever."

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

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

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

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

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

Cyst
Cyst Testimonial #129:
I had a cyst on my back, next to my right shoulder blade for the last 10 years. The cyst was about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and protruded about
1 inch. While it was on my back and not uncomfortable, during the summer when not wearing a shirt, it was readily noticeable to others. About 5
years ago, when visiting the doctor with the flu the doctor commented on the cyst and suggested he could remove it for me surgically. Well, about
the beginning of March, I started taking Immunocal/HKS 90. Several weeks later the cyst had started weeping. Squeezing the cyst would, on
occasion, produce a white pus. After about 3 to 4 weeks, the cyst was noticeably smaller and producing a clear fluid. Six weeks later the cyst has
virtually disappeared. At first I thought the changing condition was just a natural phenomena. Then after a period of several weeks, it occurred to me
that the one thing that had changed was that I was taking Immunocal/HMS 90. While this may be a coincidence, after 10 years or 120 months, it
disappeared in the same month that I was taking Immunocal/HMS90 for the first time. Clifford King, Quebec, Canada

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Testimonial # 179
Monday, May 12, 2003 1:21 PM
I have just read your site on looking up Glutathione on Google.
The reason I was looking it up is that a study has just been published by the Liver Unit, Department of Gastroenterology, Manchester Royal
Infirmary, Manchester UK., entitled "Oxidative Stress and PBC". (PBC is Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, an autoimmune disease mainly affecting
women. It has nothing to do with alcohol consumption. Autoimmune attack destroys bile ducts and then the liver). This study looked at people in the
early stages of the disease and I quote:
"The most striking antioxidant depletion occurred with plasma total glutathione where levels were significantly reduced (30% of controls)." This is
very interesting having read your site as the biggest and unexplained problem in PBC is that many people with the disease suffer crippling fatigue,
and they get symptoms in the very early stage of their disease, before there is any apparent damage to their livers. Low glutathione levels look like
they may be an explanation.
Thought you would like to know.

Lyme Disease
Lyme Disease Testimonial # 133
About 11 years ago, I noticed that I had this very strange rash on my leg. It looked like some bug had drawn a bulls-eye on my leg and took aim! At
the time, I had no knowledge whatsoever of Lyme Disease and I just assumed it was some sort of weird spider bite. I showed it to a few friends and
then forgot about it. I did feel a bit off for a few days after that, like I had a touch of the flu, but I had no idea that the two of these things could be
related to each other. For a few years, life went on as normal. Then health issues started to crop up -unexplained low-level fevers, swollen glands,
joint pains (which increased in intensity over the next several years), eye problems, gradually increasing weakness in my legs, numbness and
tingling sensations in my right arm and leg, neurological problems (brain fog) and a chronic fatigue that left me feeling totally drained from morning to
night. Tests for arthritis, lupus, thyroid all came back negative. Then, about four years ago, I was diagnosed by a doctor from Hope with Lyme
Disease. When I studied up on Lyme, I realized that this was exactly what I had right down to the bulls-eye rash. The next battle was in
determining how to fight this disease. Because of personal feelings, I was reluctant to take antibiotics for the recommended length of time that would
be required for someone dealing with Chronic Lyme. I resigned myself to a life of further deterioration and possibly a wheelchair in my future. Then I
was introduced to HMS-90. Being a bit of a skeptic, I researched all the information that was available. I read about the doctor from McGill University
who first discovered the active ingredient in HMS-90. I read the clinical medical studies, the critical role that glutathione plays in the body, I skimmed
through the patents that have been issued to Immunotec Research Inc. regarding HMS-90 and much more. The deciding factor was that this is a
100% natural protein that would do so many good things for my body even if it wasnt effective against the Lyme Disease. So, not expecting anything
dramatic to happen, I started taking it. The results astounded me! I regained energy that I hadnt had in years! I could get through a whole day
without feeling like I was on the verge of collapse. Over the next few months, all of my Lyme symptoms disappeared entirely or were so reduced that
I hardly noticed them. Ive had Lyme for a long time and I know that it will take a long time to fight this disease but HMS-90 has given me back my
life! Thank you Dr. Bounous and Immunotec Research
Please do yourself or a loved a huge favor and find out what HMS-90 can do!

Dr. Cheney
This is from an interview with Dr. Cheney, who first coined the phrase "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." He found that the organism
mentioned here for MS was wiped out in the people he was treating for Fibromyalgia - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, in 6 months of
taking HMS 90, even those who were taking only one pack a day. The ones taking 2 packs did do better with their other symptoms.
Here's to unravelling the puzzle of MS.
From a radio interview with Dr. Cheney: "This is exciting stuff. We wanted to see not only if this product (Immunocal/ HMS 90)
improved glutathione functionality, which it did, but we also wanted to see if it knocked out micro-organisms, like the PNS article said it
would. So we measured for IgM (visa?) the inverse dilutions of IgM for chlamydia pneumoniae. Chlamydia pneumoniae is an
intracellular pathogen. It's a common cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia. It ubiquitously infects the population, but seems to
activate under certain conditions. And if it activates, some of the clinical conditions of this organism are chronic sinusitis, pharyngitis,
and laryngitis. But it also gets into the central nervous system.
In a study published by a neurologist out of Vanderbilt showed tha chlyamdia pneumoniae may be a very important pathogen in
multiple sclerosis. Indeed, data they shared with me recently (and this is coming to publication soon) showed that 80 percent of the
cerebral spinal fluid of MS patients is actively infected with this organism. Versus 15 percent of other neurological diseases that are not
MS. In a journal-published article on neurology, aggressive treatment for chlyamdia pneumoniae rapidly reversed an acute
exacerbation of multiple sclerosis.
So we measured IgM levels for this pathogen at Vanderbilt. Most laboratory measurements of this organism are not very good, so this
is a research grade assessment, and probably may not generalize to the run-of-the-mill types of tests that you might get in your local
labs. But IgM elevations of 1 to 1600 (?) dilutions is evident of significant active infection with this organism. Six months later, it just
wiped it out. IgM just fell to normal levels. It didn't really matter whether you were taking one pack a day or two packs a day. Just wiped
it out. Makes you wonder what this might do for MS. Think about that.
Professor Dr. Wulf Droge, Immunologist and former head of Cancer Research at the Heidelberg Cancer Institute, Heidelberg, Germany
Professor Wulf Droge is now Medical Director of Immunotec Research in charge of research with Immunocal.
The human immune system is extremely dependent on adequate glutathione levels to perform properly, in the words of Wulf Droge et.
al. : "Thiols And The Immune System: Effect of N-Acetyl cysteine on T Cell System in Human Subjects"; Methods in Enzymology, Vol.
251; 255-270,1995):
"Even a partial depletion of the intracellular glutathione pool has a dramatic consequence for the process of blast transformation and
proliferation, and for the generation of cytotoxic T cells." ( T cells are those cells which help the body defend against diseases.)
Abstract: - Cysteine and glutathione in catabolic conditions and immunological dysfunction. Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition &
Metabolic Care. 2(3):227-233, May 1999. Droge, Wulf
The conspicuous increase in the plasma cysteine disulphide/thiol ratio in elderly persons and cancer patients indicates a shift of the
plasma redox state.
The most important redox buffers in skeletal muscle tissue and blood plasma, i.e. glutathione and albumin, respectively, are
significantly decreased in different models of cachexia. Treatment with N-acetyl cysteine, i.e. a thiol-containing antioxidant, was found
to increase the plasma albumin level and to ameliorate the loss of body cell mass in cancer patients and healthy individuals. The
treatment of HIV infection with N-acetyl cysteine, in contrast, serves mainly as a tool to ameliorate the physiological and immunological
consequences of the virus-induced cysteine deficiency. NOTE: Immunocal, a natural cysteine delivery system, developed and
researched at McGill University Medical Research Center (often referred to by Doctorsin the USA as The Harvard of the North in
Montreal, Canada, was found to increase glutathione and the plasma albumin levels in vitro, in animal and human studies.

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

THEBABYBOOMERSHEALTHREPORTNo.4
I prayed to God for a miracle.
How happy I was to have a second chance at life!
For many months, l had felt unnaturally fatigued and kept getting colds and infections. Then my doctor diagnosed me with
Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia (CLL). I was told there is no cure. My doctor tried to lift my spirits by saying that someone
would probably come-up with a cure within the next ten years. But since it is a progressive leukemia, I knew I needed to
keep the number of white blood cells down if I wanted to last that long. Unfortunately, my white blood cell count kept
increasing with each blood test every month, letting us know the cancer was growing. Lumps formed on my neck, forcing
me to wear turtleneck sweaters and scarves to hide them even during the summer, because I didn't want to worry my
children. I also tried my best to conceal the skin disorder developing on my right arm. I hated living on antibiotics, but what
choice did I have? Every time I got an infection, my white blood cell count would take a jump. By June of 2004, I was very ill
and had about given up. I made my funeral arrangements and put my affairs in order. I prayed to God for a miracle. The
next day, a good friend of mine from Toronto sent me some glutathione (GSH) enhancer, firmly insisting that I take some
every day. Within a week, I experienced a complete turnaround in my condition! How happy I was to have a second
chance at life! In six weeks, my white blood count had gone down and the lumps on my neck were shrinking. After six
months, I had no lumps, the skin disorder on my arm cleared up, my hair began to shine, and my fingernails lost their
ridges. What can I say? I was absolutely delighted! I still have leukemia but I don't worry so much, as long as I feel and
look good. I am enjoying a high quality of life and that's all that counts. My new saying is "If I'm going out, I'm going out
feeling good!" As long as I keep my glutathione levels up, I feel great! How gratifying to have my life back! Fausta

A Distributors Many Stories
"
Roy and I were visiting friends in Denver the first of May when they were having a special meeting in their home. It was about
something called Immunocal, and it caused the body to produce Glutathione... The video we saw that night was filled with many
wonderful testimonies of patients, their family members, and their doctors who had seen amazing results after just a few weeks or
months on Immunocal, depending on the severity of their illness and their current physical condition.
One man who had been taken off Chemotherapy after developing heart toxicity from the chemotherapy treatments [for his
Prostate Cancer] had a PSA reading of 208 (that is through the roof!). Roy's PSA was 70 when he had cancer. After one
month of taking Immunocal, his PSA reading dropped to 28! The following month it dropped to 11! He then went on vacation
like he had done before he was ill. Immunocal turned his situation around and gave him his life back! Another lady's story that
really interested me was one who had severe diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. After two months on Immunocal there were
major improvements. At the time the video was filmed she'd been taking it for one year.
As she shared her wonderful testimony along with her sister and her doctor, it gave me hope for my mom. My mother suffers
from Alzheimer's Disease as well as Parkinson's Disease. After learning about Immunocal and hearing the testimony
above, we started my mom on it. We are seeing real changes in my mother. She has gone from hardly eating to eating 100%
of two full meals a day and a good portion of her third meal. She is talking plainer and knows us now and understands what
she is talking about. Before she didn't recognize us most of the time. She's awake much more during the day and resting very
peacefully at night. No more night terrors. Just the past few days she is sitting up in her bed by herself without even using the
bed rails. We are witnessing her getting stronger with each day that passes. One other wonderful change is the diminishing
effect of the sharking that goes with Parkinson's Disease.
I am experiencing many great improvements in my own health from allergies and a sciatic nerve in my right leg. I have also
suffered from a neck problem a specialist told me only surgery would help. the pain was totally gone after I had taken
Immunocal for ten days. I have also had a problem with fibroid breast lumps in my right breast. Those are gone! We are
hearing many exciting reports from people among our own family and friends we have introduced Immunocal to. It's helping
those with fibromalgia, emphysema, various cancers (especially prostate cancer), colitis, arthritis, and many others too
numerous to mention. Here are a few:
My sister, Bernice Arnold, was walking with a cane the middle of May because her doctor told her she needed a knee
replacement and that it was bone to bone. She is now walking without the came and more importantly, without pain. She also
had lots of pain in her lower back which is gone now. She has more energy and a sense of well being.
My brother, Charles Fairchild, has emphysema. He is breathing much better and it has cleared up a prostate problem he
had and is helping his colon problem. He said he feels so much better. His wife, Shirley, has arthritis. The pain in her legs
has diminished greatly in just a few short weeks. She is also experiencing a great improvement in varicose veins in her legs
and has seen a big improvement in her skin condition. Their daughter, Marsha, who has suffered with psoriasis for several
years is experiencing healing with Immunocal as her skin is clearing up.
My father-in-law, Floyd, has severe lung problems including emphysema. His breathing has improved greatly. He is 89 years
old. Roy's brother John said Paw Paw spent most of the afternoon mowing his lawn and working in the yard. He goes back to
the doctor next week. I can't wait to hear what he says.
My friend, Trish, who is a seamstress by trade and was going to quit because of arthritis in her hand, used to have to pry her
fingers open in the mornings and work her hand before she began sewing. She has seen a world of difference since she
began using Immunocal. She said, "I woke up one morning after taking the product about 2 1/2 weeks and just opened her
hand and most of all the swelling was gone." She was so amazed and happy. Many people are taking it who have cancer,
kidney problems, and all sorts of major disorders. I'll keep you informed on their progress. Since I was only introduced to this
in May, I continue to share this wonderful product with people, and we're just beginning to learn what it can do for others. But,
one thing I do know is that it's important to have a strong immune system to keep us healthy with all the things that assault us
daily. It is a joy to share the hope with others that their lives can improve. I believe this is a blessing from God, so I'm going to
keep sharing the good news!!!!
BARBARA Immunocal Distributor AUGUST 10, 2003
In the fall of 1998, my mother had a bone density test and a diagnosis of osteoporosis was confirmed. In Nov. of 1998 she started on Immunocal
for her emphysema, diabetes, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, and irritable bowel syndrome. In Feb. 1999 a Doctor put her on Evista (a
selective estrogen receptor modulator) The Doctor had put several women with osteoporosis on Evista and was monitoring all of these women for
his own small study. He was told Regina was taking a food supplement (Immunocal) but he was not concerned and told her she could continue if she
so desired. In the fall of 2000 she had a bone density test done along with the other women in this small study. Regina was the only woman in this
group who not only had an improvement in her diagnosis but now had a normal bone density as in a young adult. Because of the side effects she
experienced while on Evista, one being severe leg cramps, her Doctor told her to discontinue the Evista as she didnt need it..
The bone scan done 10/10/00 showed Bettys mothers bone density as normal. She took 3 packs of Immunocal per day for several months and
went to 2 packs before the bone scan. She now has to take only 1 pack per day! Betty reports that her mother has had just amazing results with
Immunocal other than the bone density report. Her energy has returned along with a host of other benefits, as you read earlier. As Betty says, I
have my mother back and Im so thankful! Betty Lyons was a registered nurse in Canada. She now does her Immunotec business full-time!
enthusiasm about what the benefits of this product are in terms of the scientific facts and results people are having. Keep informing people, keep
explaining, keep encouraging -- and one day they will "get it." I let people know of my commitment to be the best resource person I can be for them
and my belief that they can succeed in this business. What makes this possible is my reliance on the credibility of the company and the credibility of
doctors like Doctor Gutman. Theres also the credibility of the support team the web sites, my upline, conference calls, videos, tapes, literature, the
credibility of results, and especially -- testimonials. I believetherefore all things are possible
Sincerely, Welly & Nancy
When I got my box Sept 1, 2004 I was also taking 4 pkg a day and after the 5th day, I couldn't control myself, I wanted to do so much. I hadn't
done anything for a year because I was always so weak and tired. I had had constant care from my family. They came and lived with me to look
after me. That day I painted my guest room, ceilings, closet and all. I moved furniture back and forth. I washed the windows and did a thorough
vacuum job.
My daughter, Lorna couldn't believe that I could be doing all that, so she phoned my sister Mary & they came to see for themselves. (it's a 5+ hour
drive for Mary.) Since they phoned and said they were coming, I had to do the decorating too and put up the curtains and got new bedding on, got
pictures on the walls, to pretty it up. I had worked from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 at night. When they arrived at 11pm, Lorna said, "You don't
even look tired mom" I said, "I'm not". A week earlier, I could only have washed the window or vacuumed the room.
I have been full of energy since. It has definitely changed my life and I am so grateful that my friend Fausta told me about it. I now have to tell
everyone. I have made it my mission to help people with their health, wealth and happiness.
Needless to say I am now promoting these products. The product is an (AIDE) Antioxidant, builds the Immune System, a Detoxifier and an
Energizer. It helps the chemo work better and makes the side effects less problematic. Everyone needs to build their immune systems and then
the body can look after any disease or health problem that comes our way.
After I started on the product, I have been very busy. Most of Fausta's swollen Lymph Nodes are now gone, (She now calls them bumps) I was
totally finished with chemo October 31, 2005 and feeling great. No more chemo, no more radiation and no more chemo pills. I will continue to
always take my special product Immunotecs HMS 90.
My new mantra is Im grateful to be alive in 2005 !!!

There are many more people showing interest in our wonderful product and many watching as someone they know tries it. I have said many times
that I am not a salesman, but I do feel I am on a mission and this has taken on a life of its own. To build a business based on helping people live
their lives healthier and happier is truly a blessing. I hope I am up to the challenge.
I hope this is helpful to you, Corallee Morgan
Dr. Manuels comments:
- what links all these beneficial results together is that glutathione [GSH] levels are so low, in many diseases, as a result of the oxidative
stress from the disease state itself. Most people do not get enough of a particular amino acid to replace the low levels of intracellular GSH.
Immunocal provides this essential amino acid. Glutathione is the master antioxidant which is naturally present in all our cells and when it is lacking
other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E are rapidly depleted because they can no longer be recycled because of the low levels of GSH.
- people with Multiple Sclerosis are known to have very low levels of GSH.as low as 5 % of normal. Mercedes rapid improvement from
taking only one pack/day of Immunocal is exceptional. I usually advise taking 2 or preferably 3 packs a day for 3 months to give Immunocal a fair
trial.
- Hugo, who has asthma, was able to cut his inhaler use down to a minimum in one week. My 12 year old athletic grandson was able to
markedly cut back on the use of inhalers and then go on to get several gold awards in track and field within a month of starting 1 pack/day of
Immunocal. Everyone with allergies and/or asthma should consider giving Immunocal a three month trial.
- Maria V., a severe diabetic, benefited greatly with improved vision, increased energy and better control of her blood sugar levels. There are now
many examples of the benefits of increasing GSH levels in diabetics. As GSH is low in most diabetics, taking measures to increase GSH is a priority
to prevent complications.
- Cancer: there are published studies and method-of-use patents for cancer treatment. I had prostate cancer diagnosed over six years ago
and chose to do nothing invasive. My doctors strongly advised surgery. Instead, Ive taken 3 packs/day of Immunocal and am healthier now than I
was 6 years ago. I think that every person with a diagnosis of cancer should consider taking Immunocal, with their doctors approval, as part of their
treatment.
ALL the BEST

August 11, 1988 my life changed forever, I was hit by a drunk driver, my heart stopped 3 times on the way to the hospital. The next 16 years,
were filled with pain, drugs and over 30 surgeries, including the amputation of my left foot, all attempting to restore my health.
The reality was that the combined effects of physical trauma and drugs were slowly destroying me. After awhile my body would no longer tolerate
drugs of most kinds, pain killers in particular. New wonder drugs were prescribed, I was told that they could not fail to prevent the uncontrollable
nausea I experienced when taking most medications. All failed to relieve my symptoms. My only option was to endure the pain.
By the end of 2004 I suffered from daily cycles of nausea, arthritic inflammation in my hips, spine and both knees. As well my left leg, the one
missing a foot was a source of constant, grinding pain. I was scheduled for further surgery to remove my fibula as a last resort to restore my
mobility. Then in October 2004, I was diagnosed with squamous carcinoma cancer, caused by excessive radiation, due to over 100 x-rays on my
legs. In January 2005, after several biopsies with no end in sight, I looked at my husband and said people cant live like this, you cant suffer year
after year like this, Im not getting better, Im worse every year, people cant live like this.. I was contemplating ending my life.
Feb 2005, I was introduced to HMS-90 by a friend, who had MS and had seen positive results. I began taking HMS90 (4 pkgs. a day) in the hope
that my cycles of nausea could be relieved. To my amazement, not only did my nausea disappear, but also all of my other issues began to improve.
I decided to add 4 Naturally Sourced Calcium and 1 Multi-Vitamin/Mineral. Next I noticed that my back, chest and hips no longer bothered me. Then
over the next several weeks I was able to climb stairs without using a cane and a hand railing to assist me. In the past climbing stairs was a task
involving almost unbearable pain.
I was ecstatic about the improvements in my health and feelings of wellbeing. Then the truly unexpected happened. My left leg, the one that had my
foot amputated and was scheduled for further major surgery began to heal. I was slowly able to walk further and further with less and less pain. I
have canceled the surgery that I have waited so long for. For the first time in 17 years I feel good again. No not just good, wonderful!! Excellent!!
I cant find the words to describe how wonderful I feel.
As I write my story tears are streaming down my cheeks, happy tears now. I do not have an ounce of pain left in my body!!! My life has been on a
daily schedule for 16 years, scheduling my daily routine so I was able to make it through the whole day. Making it the whole day meant dealing
with enormous amounts of pain, to the point that my insides felt like shredded paper, my brain distorted and confused. If I pushed myself any further
then I was forced to take heavy medications, which made me very, very sick.
I dont ever want to feel or live in that kind of pain again. Now that I know, we can prevent diseases, we dont have to live in pain. I feel the need to
reach out to everyone, to encourage all people to take HMS90, rebuild your cells, and keep your cells healthy.
I dont believe in miracles, but I do believe in science and results. I am living proof of the power of the body to heal its self, if you provide the best
tools it needs to maintain good health, your body will repair almost anything. HMS90/Immunocal is that tool.
My husband jokes, if your foot grows back then it will be a miracle!

I want to encourage you to print out and save these 9 reasons and keep it with you, because all these reasons are valid and truthful, and
it can be a help and encouragement to you when some people reject every thing that you have shared with them.
Most people take care of and maintain their cars and homes, which both can be replaced. However, we only receive one body in this
lifetime. Sadly, the majority of people are not willing to spend money on their body until it breaks down. When it does, they will spend any
amount to regain their health, and sadly, in some cases it may be too late.
Disclaimer: Immunocal in NO WAY Heals or Cures any Sickness or Disease in your Body. Immunocal only begins the process of getting your cells
to produce more Glutathione through precursors that are in Immunocal. This in turn strengthens the Immune System. Very Sincerely Herb Johnsen
right hand. I would stumble on the slightest thing as my right leg wasn't doing what my brain told it to do. This problem had been progressing over
the last few years.
The china is now safe! No more jerks, no stumbling, just an inner sense of well-being.
I will always be grateful and will hold an extra special place in my heart for Lorraine Ford, who, regardless of her own health challenges, chose to
reach out with love, to help others by spreading the word about Immunotec's life changing products.

Belle River, ON. Canada
Three days after I finished the Prednesone, I woke up with one swollen leg that was twice the size of the other. I was immediately hospitalized with a
blood clot in the back of my right knee on March 28, 2000 and have been on Coumadin ever since.
Out of desperation, from end of May to July I was scheduled for surgery twice. The first time, I panicked and cancelled. The second time, it was the
internist who refused to clear me. It was too risky because of the clot. I wasnt on Coumadin long enough. What to do!
I sought out the acupuncturist and went to her privately and had no reaction whatsoever until a few days after the fifth treatment. This time, I didnt
respond so quickly but I was so desperate, I stuck with it and it slowly began to work.
Now I had already started getting pains in my abdomen which increased (it always gets worse). I was bound and had many problems eliminating.
One night when I couldnt sleep at all from those additional pains, I tried to stop all medications cold turkey. I was up for 36 hours, again pleading
with God to heal me or take me. I wound up calling the Director of the Pain Management Clinic at Elmhurst. She told me I couldnt stop that way
and wanting so much to help me, offered Codeine by itself, which I refused. So she suggested weaning off the Percocets, one less pill a day for a
week. Here I was totally debilitated, functionless, and struggling in a drugged stupor.
A NEW LIFE MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED
In August 2000, a week and a half after my talk with the doctor, a friend of mine, Michael Blinick, whom I hadnt spoken to in over a year, called to
see how I was doing. I told him of my condition and said I was going to die of stomach cancer if not because of the spine. I had no life and I would
prefer leaving this misery.
He said he could get me help right away. In three days I had IMMUNOCAL and here are the dramatic results:
7.
I got off the pain medications immediately without having to wean off. I did not have any withdrawal symptoms and no longer walked
around in a dazed condition.
I stopped taking Prevacid, antacid.
By the detoxification, the pains in my abdomen disappeared immediately and completely. I havent had anything but a normal
elimination since then.
The inflammation has greatly subsided in the spine and hip staving off surgery until today. I still have spinal stenosis. If I do need
surgery, Ill be able to tolerate it and be better prepared.
I had had a vascular problem for several years with black and chronic swollen feet and wore
Surgical stockings when I could put them on. The acupuncturist noticed on the Tuesday after I
started IMMUNOCAL, Your feet are normal. I hadnt been paying attention because of the
other problems. No more need for stockings.
This is the first year since 1993 when I had pneumonia, that I havent taken a flu shot. No usual
Winter cold/virus.
My chronic acute sinus condition is GONE.
I have been taking two to four pouches of IMMUNOCAL every day. Because Im still on Coumadin and cannot take Vitamin E, Im just taking one B
Complex tablet, and 2-3 Vitamin Cs daily along with IMMUNOCAL.
Since taking IMMUNOCAL to build my immune system, I have energy I havent had since my twenties. Also, I found by taking a third pouch, I feel
even stronger, and my body has begun to correct little things like a small growth, the size of a pencils eraser, on my skin on the inside of my arm.
One morning, about three months ago, I went to finger it and screamed to my husband that its gone. All I have left is a small dot of skin
discoloration as a memory.
Am I passionate about IMMUNOCAL? You bet I am!
Im so happy to be alive. My life has been a great joy with my newfound health. Now I am sharing my experience with IMMUNOCAL with everyone,
with the world. So many people, all with different medical challenges, are now changing their lives with IMMUNOCAL through me. What a blessing
for all of us! March 20, 2001
Five months, and $7,000 later I was able to lift my arms, and walk much better. This made me very happy and I began to have hope. However, my
happiness was short-lived. As soon as the winter months set in the pain returned, and within a few months I was bedridden. By May of 2002 I could
not walk, and found myself in severe pain with terrible swelling in my legs and feet. The inflammation seemed to worsen by the hour.
Thinking I might have a kidney problem, I asked my Family Doctor of 10 years for a referral. He refused to refer me to see a kidney specialist as he
said there was no need for the government to waste money on doing tests on me.
After insisting that he refer me, he did so under protest, and as he handed the paper to me he said 'if you go and see this Kidney Specialist I never
want to ever see you in this office again.' I left that office in shock with tears in my eyes thinking how could a family Doctor of 10 years do this to a
patient?
I faxed the referral paper to the Kidney Specialist and when his office staff called me I was told my Doctor put a question mark on the comments
section. I explained my ex-doctor does not know what is the matter with me. I was given an appointment within 2 weeks. I soon found another
doctor
The Kidney Specialist located in Richmond Hill, Ontario started tests on a Thursday and on Friday with Ultra Sound. By Monday a second Kidney
Specialist saw me and ran additional tests. He discovered my entire Kidney was infected and inflamed. My Potassium levels had dropped far below
normal level and for this reason I could not be given anything for the pain or inflammation. The most I could do was bathe my feet and legs and take
Aspirin to try and ease the pain. However, nothing I did worked. Every day I cried from the pain. I could not sleep and my energy level was zero. By
this time I was reduced to being in a wheel chair as I could not ambulate. I had to crawl on my hands and knees every day to get to the washroom
and my meals were carried to me by my husband.
I had always been an active person, and exercised daily. I loved to participate in sports and to work with and help people. The thought now occurred
to me that you can have all the money in the world but if you don't have your health you have nothing. Nevertheless, I am the type of person who
never gives up and I had faith that some day I would find the answer to this health challenge and find a natural cure. I clung tenaciously to this hope.
In June 2002 my girlfriend Leslie called me and said she found a product that could help me. At first I thought it might be another fly-by-night product
which will cost me more money and not do anything. Leslie felt my problems were tied in with my immune system. She asked if I would listen to a
friend of hers from Florida named Jim Spencer who would explain a wonderful product to me.
Being skeptical I asked if the product was sold through MLM and she said 'Yes'.
I reminded Leslie I couldn't even walk let alone do a new business. As much as I wanted to go back to work for the past 2 years I simply was not
ready for this. She told me not to worry but to just listen to him and for the moment I was inspired to listen to what he had to say.
Jim called me later that day and asked me a few questions. He explained the science behind HMS 90 for about a half-hour. He assured me he was
not interested in me doing any business right now, but he promised me, based on what I had told him, and if I took the right amount of HMS 90,
within 5 days I would probably be out of bed and walking. I remember thinking that this guy must be God or this is one Miracle Product, as not even a
Doctor had told me those words. I just had to have faith that he was not bluffing me.
He gave me a website address so I could do additional research on the product. I had to literally crawl to my office to look it up. As I began to read
about the company and the clinical trials I began to feel better about the HMS 90 product and the Immunotec Company which I learned came from
Montreal, Canada.
When the product arrived in 2 days I started to take it 3 times a day.
By the third day I was amazed that I was able to get out of bed and walk again WITHOUT PAIN. The inflammation was starting to go away.
By the 5th day I was able to drive 3 hours to my family reunion.
By the 7th day I was able to travel to my Niece's Graduation.
By the 9th day I had begun to feel a more stable energy level. I was smiling again!
After ten days I was able to go down the stairs without holding onto the railing. I no longer had to lift each leg with my hand and move
tediously from one step to the next.
Incredibly, by the 12th day I was actually running up and down the stairs. I felt as though I could have flown out the door without wings. I
was so happy and so thankful I had for this dramatic recovery!
As requested, I had taken 3 packages a day of the HMS90 for the first week, and after that 2 a day. By September I was only taking one a
day and I feel great!
After I had been several weeks on the HMS 90, the Kidney Specialist called and asked me to go back to his office for a number of new tests. When I
returned this time I went alone and was able to walk into the office with no pain. I saw him on August 2nd, but did not receive the reports back until
August 26th. When I returned to see him a funny thing happened. Initially I had been found to have an infection in my kidney and very low
potassium. However, the second group of tests seemed to confuse him as he looked at my chart. In fact he got up from his chair and went back to
the office computer to look up my chart again. He was convinced that there was an erroneous report in my file! When he came back to the office he
said "Brenda the second group of tests shows no inflammation or Infection around your kidneys, and your potassium is normal! (This was the first
time in nine years it had been normal) What a tribute to HMS90 and Xtra Sharp!
What did you do?, he asked. "I know you were taking aspirin and bathing your legs and feet but it doesn't seem possible it could do this! I explained
I had stopped doing those things because a friend had sent me this product. I opened my purse and showed him the HMS 90. When he saw it he
said he had heard many Doctors talk about this product at the hospital. I asked why he didn't put me on it back in June. He said because he is a
Kidney Specialist and doesn't prescribe this product. "Well", I said, "I think maybe you will be in the very near future." He smiled and said, "Brenda I
am very happy to see it helped you and our tests prove that it works. I can tell you have no pain and can see you are smiling and walking very well. I
would suggest that you continue to take this product, and in 6 months I will ask your family doctor to send you for more tests to make sure it
continues to work."
Shortly thereafter a girlfriend of mine named Debbie Quincey called to see how I was doing. She could tell by my voice that something had
happened to me. She said, "you sound so good! What did you do?
I told her the whole story with all the wonders that the HMS 90 had done for me. She then asked if the company marketed by multi-level? I told her it
was. Then she asked if I had joined the company yet. I told her no, but that a friend had sent the product to me. Suddenly, she announced I better
not join this MLM company without her being the first person under me! I laughed, and reminded her that she was already focused on another
company and I would not want to take her away from that.
"You are my mentor. If it has helped you this much you're bound to do the business, and I want to follow and do it with you." That very same night
our upline-to-be, Jim Spencer & Francine called, and I tied in Debbie so she could listen. After they explained the products and the company to her
there was no hesitation on our part. We both joined that same night with Action packs! Not only has HMS 90 made a profound change in my health
but now it's given me a new livelihood!
I now have the desire to share this product with as many people in the world as I can. Hopefully it can not only help them get their health back, but it
could also change their financial life as well.
By mid-August I felt so good that I decided to go to work full time. I now had a wonderful team with Debbie, John, Carlton & Arnie. With the support
of my upline, along with the confidence I have in the HMS 90 product and this wonderful company Immunotec Research I was able to reach the Gold
Distributor Level by end of August .
I plan to help my team attain that level next as I want them all to follow me and this company to share this product with the world.
I still feel great each day and I am thankful to the many people who have helped me to recover and give me hope again in my life.
Thank you Immunotec for the vision and research you had with the HMS90 / Immunocal Product.
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT, REACH FOR THE TOP AND NEVER GIVE UP!
Sincerely, Brenda Noble Toronto, Canada
Two-time Grammy nominee, Barbara Fairchild, is no stranger to the world of music and entertainment. Barbara has been entertaining
since she was five years old.
Recognized by many for her appearances on TNN's Nashville Now with Ralph Emery, Crook & Chase, and most recently, Prime Time Country,
people have enjoyed her heartfelt singing, down to earth personality and humorous perspective on life. She has appeared on the Tonight Show, Hee
Haw, and the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Barbara's live performances have also included many European and USO tours.
She and husband Roy Morris settled in Branson, Missouri in 1992, where they have fallen in love with the Ozarks and its people. She has been
guest performer at various Branson theaters and in 1993, she started performing in her own show.
Though Barbara's demanding show schedule keeps her busy, she still makes time for her family; husband Roy, their five children and seven
grandchildren. Indeed, it was the concern for a loved one that brought Barbara to Immunotec in May 2003.
Barbara and Roy were traveling in the Denver area when their friends and hosts told them that someone was going to come over to talk to them
about glutathione. Of course neither one of them had any idea what glutathione was, but when it was explained that it had to do with the immune
system, Barbara was all ears. Roy had successfully battled cancer a few years before and they both knew how essential a strong immune system is.
That night, as they listened to Immunotec distributors Candice Adams and Mildred Nelson talk about Immunocal, they realized that the bonded
cysteine supplement might be helpful for Barbara's mother, Opal. In her late 70s and battling both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's, she no
longer recognized her family, didn't talk, kept her eyes closed for days at a time and was fed by tube. In her isolation, her head jerked constantly.
Never one to be too quiet, Barbara declared that if Immunocal could help her Mama, the whole would would hear about it.
Watch out world! In the months that followed, the progress was steady but sure. Opal began to reply with single word answers. The doctors took her
off six of her nine medications and reduced the dosage of another. In April 2004, a videotape made while she was visiting her home amazed her
doctors. It shows her being very interactive and responsive, talking, laughing and playing games with her grandchildren as they gathered around her
bed. Today she talks, jokes and is amazingly different from the sickly woman of a year ago.
During this time, Barbara and her sister Bernice Arnold learned to be their mother's surest advocate. Bernice is also an Immunotec distributor and
shows her love and concern for her mother by making daily visits to her residence. When nursing home staff found it challenging to mix the protein or
to administer it on a regular basis, Barbara and Bernice were adamant that it must be done. They stood toe to toe with health professionals and
insisted that they do what it took to help their mother.
A year later, they no longer have to insist. Having seen the marked difference in one person's quality of life, staff members happily comply with the
ladies' request that Immunocal be a part of their mother's diet. Persistence pays off! Most of the staff have become Xtra Sharp customers and
recently, some have signed up as Immunotec distributors.
And true to her word, Barbara's world is finding out about Immunocal! Hundreds and hundreds of people she has met on her travels have been
helped and are seeing joy arise out of suffering. Barbara believes that "a man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument".
As a recording artist, Barbara might not think of herself as a salesperson, but when she tells the story of her mother's experience, it doesn't take
much more to sell a box of product! Once you have experienced the benefits, then, if you find you don't like selling, you don't sell. You just share
your experiences.
In the past year, Barbara has seen her check grow to over $6,000 per month. She and Roy have watched their business become a family affair with
all five of their children involved as distributors. And each of their grandbabies, from ages three to eight, takes Immunocal. She continues to count
her blessings -- among them, her gift of singing and having her mother literally given back to her. And unlike the lyrics to her trademark "Teddy Bear
Song", Barbara doesn't have a "sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in her eye" -- her happiness comes straight from the heart!

On June 28 she was in the hospital on IV antibiotic therapy twice a day which continued at home for another two weeks. With B-strep and E-Coli in
her body she was having a difficult time, but cultures have turned around with only one negative as of last week. She is definitely making progress.
To be honest Immunocal was the last resort. We both said -- "Let's try it. There just isn't anything more that can be done." And we are so glad we
did.
If I never sponsor one person, it has been worth it! (But the sponsoring is going to happen!)
By the way don't give up on people. It took us over a year to say yes to Immunocal Story.
Thanks Herb for not giving up!

From June to August, I sometimes thought that I could decrease to 3 HMS90. Im still feeling no pain, then maybe just 2 Well, within 4 days I
was feeling the pain, pain again. Immediately I would increase back to 4 packages..Ahhh no pain. So I decided that I would stay at 4 packages
for 1 year, then we went camping September long weekend. I managed to make it to the trailer, get into bed, take my leg off, along with 1 nylon
sock, 1 thick liner, 2 wool socks, another nylon sock. Ahhh Im in bed. Then I remembered.. I forgot my night time HMS90. I dont want to put
all that back on my leg. I did tell myself that I wouldnt forget the next night.. Well I kept forgetting..
But after 5 days no pain I thought, lets see how long I can go without pain at 2 packages a day, which I took first thing in the morning.
As of September 2, 2005 I decrease my intake of HMS90 to 2 packages a day and I still feel as good as I did when I was taking 4 packages a day.
Although, after many hours of research, I also incorporated a few other items;
8 months of 4 packages a day of HMS90, 1000 mcg of Calcium & 1 Multi Vitamin/Mineral, decreased to 2 packages of HMS90 along with the below
items, for 1 months and I still feel as good as if I was on 4 packages a day.
This clearly tells me that my body healed what needed to be healed and now I will continue my regime for good health.

bones. Calcium is also needed for the heart, muscles, and nervous system to work properly. The bones serve as a storage site for the body's
calcium. They are continuously giving up calcium to the bloodstream and then replacing it as the body's need for calcium changes from day to day.
When there is not enough calcium in the blood to be used by the heart and other organs, your body will take the needed calcium from the bones.
When you eat foods rich in calcium, the calcium will be restored to the bones and the balance between your blood and bones will be maintained.
Iodine: Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body. Reports suggest
that iodine may have a number of important functions in the body unrelated to thyroid function that might help people with a wide variety of
conditions; these other uses for iodine are only supported by minimal research.
Alfalfa: Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies): Early Chinese physicians used young alfalfa leaves to treat
disorders of the digestive tract. In India, physicians prescribed the leaves and flowering tops for poor digestion. It was also considered therapeutic for
water retention and arthritis due to its high mineral content. North American Indians recommended alfalfa to treat jaundice.
Angelica: Historical or traditional use: Used for both men and women with cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and problems with
peripheral circulation.
Celery seed: Historical or traditional use: Celery Seed is most often taken to aid in the maintenance of healthy joints. It is suitable for anyone who
wishes to reduce the degeneration of body joints that commonly occurs with age. Celery Seed can also ease joint discomfort that occurs due to
inflammation and is, in fact, mainly used for the relief of symptoms of such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism, and gout. Celery Seed has an
antiseptic property that makes it useful to the health of the urinary tract and a diuretic property to help relieve fluid retention.
Chamomile: Historical or traditional use: Chamomile taken internally prevents and treats ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems including
indigestion, gastritis, heartburn, and flatulence.
Damiana: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Acts as a tonic on the central nervous system and the hormonal system. Used in treating depression
and anxiety, particularly when influenced by sexual factors. Strengthens the male sexual system.
Dandelion: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Dandelion is an excellent, safe diuretic and liver tonic. Dandelion is a valuable diuretic, because it is
rich in potassium- a vital mineral often lost when the kidneys are stimulated by drugs. It is useful in treating: water retention due to heart problems,
inflammation and congestion of the liver and gall bladder, and congestive jaundice.
Echinacea: Therapeutic Actions: This herb targets the secretory immune system (lymphatic system, skin, and mucous membranes) and activates
cellular immunity when the cellular integrity is threatened by viral attack.
Gentian: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Excellent in treating sluggish digestion and lack of appetite, as indicated by conditions like dyspepsia
and flatulence. Gentian stimulates the appetite and digestion and promotes the production of saliva, gastric juices, and bile.
Ginkgo Biloba: Historical or traditional use: The main active compounds in Ginkgo leaves are the Flavoglycosides. These compounds have
antioxidant and free radical properties helping to improve mental performance, brain function and concentration problems. Helps keep blood platelets
from becoming sticky.
Ginseng: (American) Historical or traditional use: American Ginseng root is matured six years before it is harvested. American Ginseng is a
traditional vitality herb used by the Native Americans. It has many properties similar to the popular herb Korean Ginseng.
This product is especially popular among people leading an active and demanding lifestyle.
Grape seed: Historical or traditional use: Grape seed extract is a bioflavonoid-rich extract used for fighting free radicals and maintaining capillary
health. Proanthocyanadins have been indicated for:
poor distribution of microcirculatory blood flow in the brain and heart
altered capillary fragility and permeability
chronic arterial / venous insufficiency in the extremities
breakdown in the elastic fibers of the capillaries (collagen & elastin)
Guarana seed: Historical or traditional use: Promotes Energy - Guarana is a world-famous plant found primarily in the Amazon Jungle. It has been
used for centuries by the Brazilian Indians and is commonly referred to as Brazilian Cocoa, a remedy for fatigue.
In homeopathic medicine, Guarana is used to treat headaches. There is, however, no evidence of its effectiveness for this problem. Among
Guaranas many effects are a tendency to strengthen and speed up the heartbeat, relax blood vessels (except for those in the brain), and open
bronchial tubes. Guarana also discourages blood clots, stimulates the urinary system, and promotes production of digestive juices.
Licorice root: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Acts on the endocrine system and the liver as an antihepatotoxic effective in treating hepatitis
and cirrhosis. Licorice is also an expectorant and anti-inflammatory, useful in cough and bronchitis.
Milk thistle: Therapeutic Actions and Indications: Excellent as a liver tonic and in treating numerous liver and gallbladder conditions such as
hepatitis and cirrhosis. May also reverse toxic liver damage and protect against hepatotoxic agents. Helps to increase glutathione levels in the liver.

GUARANA
LEGENDARY HERB OF THE AMAZON
Boosts energy. Guarana has a broad-spectrum effect that ranges from its use as a builder of stamina and staying power, to its value in calming and
soothing the whole body and relieving physical and mental stress. It is thought to stimulate brain function and aids concentration and alertness.1 It
has been found to be helpful for headaches, especially migraines, and Slimmers may also benefit from Guarana, as it helps to allay feelings of
hunger.
The body system most commonly affected during these daily happenings is that of the adrenals. The adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, are
responsible for the secretion of various hormones, such as adrenalin, which help our bodies cope during stressful situations. A constant onslaught
upon the adrenals, which comes with continued everyday stress, may result in one of our most common modern day complaints: extreme tiredness
and fatigue--often referred to as 'adrenal exhaustion'. By rebalancing the adrenal energy, Guarana imparts a calming effect on the whole body as
well as providing it with increased energy and an uplifted mood.
FIGHTING DEPRESSION
The natural action of Guarana may have a special place in the treatment of depression, especially where depression is brought on by nervous
exhaustion or menstruation.4
It helps to provide uplifted feelings without sudden highs and lows of emotion. Because it acts upon the whole system, and not just one particular
body part, the effects are longer lasting. It does not give a short boost followed by a craving for more.
IS IT JUST A CAFFEINE PILL?
There has been speculation among some that Guarana is just a caffeine pill. This is not essentially true. Caffeine is a single substance with specific
actions in the body. The caffeine present in Guarana is known as guaranine and its effect on the body is determined by the other active substances
in the herb. Because of the presence of these other elements, Guarana's total action is gentle, without the side effects commonly noted with the use
of single substances. Guarana, almost identical to caffeine, is released slowly--over as much as 6 hours--so the energy boost that is experienced
from Guaran is not like that of coffee (with a sudden rush and quick drop-off), but continues to escalate over hours. The tannic acid is an astringent
(any of a group of substances that tend to shrink mucous membranes and raw surfaces and to dry up secretions) and probably accounts for its use
as a digestive tonic.
THE SAFETY FACTOR
Guarana has been used without harm for thousands of years in the Amazon region. More recently it has become the subject of much clinical and
laboratory investigation by the government and universities of Brazil. Guarana has been found to be safe and effective in recommended doses
without harmful side effects.6 Also important is the finding that Guarana is non-habit forming and will not interfere with sound sleep.7
To sum upGuarana is a high-energy source that increases mental alertness, fights fatigue, slows the pulse, decreases the appetite, and is an
excellent mood elevator. This herb can also be used as a nervine tonic for hangovers, menstrual headaches, and neuralgia. It is also useful for
leucorrhea, diarrhea, and fevers; its chief use in Europe and North America is for headaches, especially if of a rheumatic or nervous nature.

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

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

Immunocal Amino Acid Profile Review /October 2002
As a nutritional chemist, PHD and a certified Sports Performance coach with over 2 decades of experience working with a wide variety of
athletes including elite World and Olympic medalists, I was very impressed upon reviewing the amino acid profile of Immunocal.
It has been our experience working with these athletes, and is well documented, that exercise exerts a huge systemic demand for amino
acids on the human body.
Many studies, such as Lemon at Kent State University, have demonstrated that certain amino acids are consumed much faster than
others during even moderate exercise. L-glutamine, in particular, is known to be the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and
shows the highest blood concentration of all the amino acids after an exercise session. Immunocal supplies almost 1.8 grams of Lglutamine/glutamate in one pouch!
Also, the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine, are absolutely fundamentally necessary for the
maintenance, repair and growth of lean, functional muscle tissue, are available in a high percentage in Immunocal/HMS-90.
Young at MIT showed that L-leucine oxidation is increased by 240 % during even moderate exercise! Immunocal provides almost one
gram of L-leucine in one pouch! The total amount of the three BCAAs in one pouch of Immunocal is over 2.2 grams!
Knowing the superb bioavailability of Immunocal to human beings and the excellent profile of Immunocal, particularly with respect to the
aforementioned amino acids, it should be obvious to any athlete and coach that supplementing with Immunocal will greatly aid recovery
from workouts and help any athlete achieve his or her goals, safely, legally and effectively.
Immunocal is a bioactive whey protein nutraceutical,cystine delivery system that supports the immune system, raises T cell
levels and detoxifies the liver.
It is rich in cysteine-cysteine and glutamyl-cysteine dipeptides.
It supplies about 1.8 grams of L-glutamine/glutamate per serving.
It supplies almost 2.2 grams of the essential branched chain amino acids, including 1 gram of L-leucine, per serving.
It contains <1% fat, cholesterol and lactose.
It is safe, effective and legal for use in all sporting organizations.
Proven to improve volitional muscle performance 13%! (Lands, et al., Journal of Applied Physiology Vol.87 / 1381-1385, 1999)
It will greatly aid athletes by reducing soreness, enhancing recovery and minimizing down time from illness.

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

Unlike most other whey proteins, HMS 90 is undenatured, meaning the protein integrity has been preserved. This makes it almost identical
to human breast milk, including its immune promoting properties and also biological activity. Proving what it does to the immune response
has been validated by science and has enabled the product to acquire patents for treatments of various diseases, by the Canadian,
U.S. and Australian governments.
If another whey states that it is undenatured, check to see if it has been flavored or instantized. This process in itself immediately destroys
about 60% to 70% of what makes an undenatured whey protein work.
HMS 90 is individually packaged. This preserves the product and doesnt allow air or moisture to get to it. Exposure to air and moisture
would quickly denature the protein through oxidation. (In effect the disulphide bonds that holds together the two cysteine molecules would
break apart and cysteine would be released.) We know that cysteine on its own is toxic. This may explain why a lot of the other whey
proteins when tested actually blunted the immune response, and a couple of them actually lowered glutathione levels.
Immunocal (HMS 90 in Canada) is the only whey protein I know of that has been validated by science, thus earning it a place in the U.S.
Physicians Desk Reference. It is also the only whey protein covered by Medicare and Medicaid in many states for the treatment of cancer,
AIDS, cystic fibrosis and fibromyalgia.
No other whey protein that I have seen, advises, as ours does, that people who have had an organ transplant should not take their
product. HMS 90 is powerful enough in boosting immune response that they could reject their transplant. (These people are on immuno
suppressant drugs)
In the past year I have encountered a couple of sales representatives who told me that their whey proteins are undenatured. Neither of
them could show me anything stating undenatured either on the package or in their literature. That was alright with me, I figured I would
see it in their science (I am so spoiled with ours) When I then asked them to show me some research they showed me Dr. Bounous
research on Immunocal. Neither one could show me any research on their own product.
When you look at what required portions are for other whey proteins, surprisingly HMS 90 is usually less expensive.
Independent Immunotec Distributor
Guess what? If you drank fresh cows milk, goat, camel, whatever country you lived in, you would be getting this bonded cysteine into your body
every day. But unfortunately, we now pasteurize our milk. Thats the problem.HeatAs soon as you apply heat, to the cysteine-glycine disulphide
bond it breaks. Now you have 2 individual cysteine molecules. Cysteine in singular molecular form is toxic to the body. You cannot absorb a single
molecule of cysteine. It comes in the stomach and right out the back end. So, thats why its so important to get these 2 molecules together in our
bodies and weve been doing that for over 50 years.
Heres the problemFirst 25 years nobody really notices any real problems for not getting this cysteine in their bodies but the last 25 years were
noticing major changes. What are we seeing, childhood diseases are going sky high. Why is that? Autoimmune diseases are going sky high.
Cancer, we havent slowed down cancer. Weve spent trillions of dollars on cancer and were getting more people with cancer than ever. Our society
today is more toxic than it has ever been before. We live in the most toxic environment in humanity, 50 years ago it was no where near this toxic. Our
glutathione is working overtime to try and take care of all those bugs that are coming at us.
Now whats the Master Antioxidant level ? Number one the biggest free radical manufacturer, free radical maker in the body is Stress. It produces
way more free radicals than food digestion or exercise. And I dont know about you, but this is probably the most stressful environment, we have in
North America . So you get a huge ultra stress on people, using up your glutathione. You got these bugs using up your glutathione. We have so
much pollution in our body, we have our glutathione working overtime. So thats why youre now seeing the results of it. Our glutathione is dropping
faster than ever before. And we have no way of replenishing it. Now we got these diseases going crazy, I mean cancer, is becoming the number 1
killer for children. There are 15 & 16 year old kids that have rheumatoid arthritis. Their knees are swollen up like footballs. This is an old age, old
mans disease. Now youve got 15 year olds doing it. They say now, that, 1 in 3 people will get some form of cancer. So now you see why its so
important to talk to you about glutathione. What can we do?
This is where Dr Bounous comes in. He has discovered a way to isolate those 2 bonded cysteine molecules out of the food source so that we
can ingest them as a food supplement every day and rebuild our glutathione. The animals are in Northern Idaho, in a very clean environment with
no pesticides or herbicides. They are organically fed and have never had hormones or antibiotics. The milk is extracted in an oxygen free
environment. Then nitrogen is used in the milk machines to keep the air out. Then a cold pasteurization process is used. Only in Dr. Bounous
process are ceramic micro filters used to get rid of the rest of the bugs. He extracts the whey powder, sells off the cheese product to the cheese
industry and packages the whey protein isolate concentrate in a nitrogen free package.
Now with 10 medical patents and its sold as a pharmaceutical drug over in Europe, and here in Canada its a food not a drug. Heres the key, if
you were living in Germany right now, (a) youd have to go to your doctor and (b) youd have to have a chronic disease, then (c) youd get your
prescription so you could go to the pharmacy to buy your product which is a little late by the way, because youre already sick.. If you took this
product, you probably wouldnt have gotten sick. But now its a pharmaceutical drug. That one packet is going cost you $ 20.00. Ridiculous, its a
food! The good news, In Canada that same packet contains 1 gallon of fresh cows milk in cysteine molecule concentration. Thats a pretty powerful
dose. What would a gallon of milk cost you in the store today? $ 4 ? The white liquid you see in the store today will probably cost you $ 4 or $ 5,
depending on where you buy it. Heres the good news. That packet which is equal to one gallon of cows milk is going to come to $ 2. Thats half of
what you pay for the crap thats in the store. And because its food, no GST. So, to me this whey protein isolate HMS90 is probably one of the most
economical & the best nutrients I can put in my body for two bucks.

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?
Glutathione (pronounced "gloota-thigh-own") also known as GSH is the body's essential health AID - Antioxidant, Immune booster and
Detoxifier. This small protein, produced naturally in the body, maintains these three crucial protective functions. In fact, your life depends
on glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to bacteria,
viruses and cancer, and your liver would shrivel up from the eventual accumulation of toxins.
Glutathione is not yet a household word. Even doctors who have heard the term may have only a vague idea of it. However, everyone will
soon be talking about this critical substance. There was a time when only scientists had heard of cholesterol and vitamins, but today
everyone knows about them. Now it's glutathione's turn In the last five years, over twenty-five thousand medical articles about this
substance have been published, and this scientific understanding is gradually becoming common knowledge.
Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materials to make it.
Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of pressure - illness, stress, fatigue and even
exercise. Some well-known causes of glutathione depletion are shown in figure I. Glutathione levels also diminish as we age and many
diseases normally associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency.
in the proper activity of our lymphocytes (white blood cel1s) is the availability of glutathione." In other words, healthy growth and activity of immune
cel1s depend upon glutathione's availability. Put simply, glutathione is 'food' for the immune system.

GLUTAMINE
Whether taken orally or intravenously, glutamine supplements raise glutathione concentrations, but completely healthy individuals shouldn't require
supplemental glutamine and it can lead to side effects such as gastrointestinal upset. Older people as well as kidney and liver patients should be
cautious. Any serious use of this supplement must be monitored by a health professional.
LIPOIC ACID
Lipoic acid occurs naturally in the body but is also found on the shelves of health food stores. It is known that as
glutathione molecules neutralize free radicals they gradually become oxidized, but lipoic acid can replenish its antioxidant
powers by converting it back to a reduced form. It is still being investigated by scientists.
SILYMARIN (MILK THISTLE)
The milk thistle plant, (Silybum marianum, silymarin) has a long history in the treatment of liver problems. It clearly prevents the oxidation of fats and
maintains glutathione levels, but possible toxic reactions include gas, cramps and diarrhea. Liver disease should never be treated without the
supervision of a health professional.
WHEY PROTEINS
Whey, a large group of proteins, is a constituent of milk from humans and other mammals, and under ideal circumstances contains the buildingblocks of glutathione. Many whey products are marketed to health-conscious people but they vary greatly in their protein content, their concentration,
the forms of proteins present, and other factors that affect the product's bioactivity (biological action).
Perhaps the most important criterion of all is the extent of the product's protein denaturation - a breakdown in the protein structure. This reduces its
potential bioactivity in the body without affecting its food value. In addition, many nutritionists point out that the fat or lactose content of whey
products may still be high enough to cause concern. Others have reservations about the milk industry and its liberal use of antibiotics and steroids to
boost production. Also, we cannot ignore the very real issue of fat-soluble and water-soluble environmental toxins passing into the milk.
The whey content of truly fresh milk contains such potent glutathione building blocks as lactoferrin, beta-lactalbumin and serum albumin - all easily
denatured by heat or mechanical agitation. Pasteurization and other industrial processes tend to denature milk products and by the time they reach
your table their bioactivity is lost. To maintain the bioactivity of glutathione precursors whey proteins must be extracted from milk with special means,
and careful monitoring is essential. Whey products may contain anything from 20% to 90% protein. These proteins vary greatly in their make-up as
well as the extent to which their glutathione precursors are denatured. So, although some whey proteins are bioactive, most are not.
whey protein made under pharmacological conditions to maximize the protein's bioactivity. Undenatured whey protein is a natural extract of milk - a
safe, dependable and effective way to sustain elevated glutathione levels.
Medical science is still ascertaining all the critical roles played by glutathione in disease resistance and general good health. Clinical
evidence links low glutathione levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging diseases.
As an essential AID to health, glutathione works as the master Antioxidant in our body, optimizes the Immune system and Detoxifies a
long list of pollutants and carcinogens. However, the body's glutathione levels are not raised by eating glutathione, since it is poorly
absorbed through the digestive system. It must be manufactured within the cells of the body, Therefore, the best way to raise glutathione
levels is by providing the building blocks used by the cells to make it themselves.
Pharmaceutical medicine has created drugs that do this very effectively, and they have their uses in critical situations.But they also have
side effects and repeated use is clearly inadvisable. Recently, scientists have developed a natural way to raise glutathione levels by safe,
reliable dietary means. The emergence of bioactive whey proteins is an exciting step forward in nutritional supplementation.

Built to Survive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Medical Use of Anabolic Steroids, Nutrition and Exercise for HIV (+) men and women by
Michael Mooney, Nelson R. Vergel Author's comment:
If there is one survival tool every HIV (+) person should consider it is taking dietary supplements that increase glutathione production. Suggested
dosing is 500 to 1,000 mg three times per day. Other supplements that increase glutathione include L-glutamine (12 to 36 grams per day), alpha
lipoic acid (100 to 1,000 mg per day), selenium (200 - 800 mcg per day), and (undenatured) whey protein. Protein malnutrition can cause a decrease
in glutathione production too, so be sure to get plenty of protein three times per day.
Oxidative Stress, Cell Activation and Viral Infection Edited by C. Pasquier, et al.
Summary exerpt of article : "Place For An Antioxidant Therapy In Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection" (pp 311-321). Oxidative stress, a
known activator of HIV replication in vitro, has a potential role as a cofactor of HIV disease progression. Arguments supporting the role of oxidative
stress as a cofactor in HIV activation are summarized in this review. The role of intracellular antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH), and drugs and
nutriceutical agents promoting GSH synthesis, are discussed. The review also includes the early results of nutritional interventions based on a diet
enriched with a whey protein concentrate prepared in a proprietary manner.

The Super Anti-Oxidants : Why They Will Change the Face of Healthcare in the 21st Century by James F. Balch This Book is Worth a Read
(December 12, 1999 Reviewer: Ralph Nordstrom from Southern California) This is an exciting book. Packer reviews the research on antioxidants,
not only from his own lab at the University of California, Berkely, but also from labs around the world. He not only quotes research results in vitro and
on mice but he also quotes such human studies as are available. Packer is enthusiastic about the effects antioxidants can have on improving health
and increasing ones life. He freely speculates about discoveries he expects will be found in future research but he is careful to state them as such.
I'd skip to the last part on implementing the Packer plan and put that into action, then return to the beginning of the book and read up on all the
research.
The Gsh Phenomenon : Nature's Most Powerful Antioxidant and Healing Agent
by Alan H. Pressman, Sheila Buff
"Glutathione(or its reduced form, GSH) is a natural protein found in the body's cells and in many fresh fruits and vegetables. Pressman, a
chiropractor and nutritionist, considers glutathione to be the most important antioxidant molecule, high levels of which appear to protect against the
dangers of cancer, heart disease, premature aging, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses. Glutathione plays an essential role in helping the
liver detoxify environmental poisons and the body's own metabolic wastes, a process necessary to overall health. Two dozen high-glutathione
recipes, lists of holistic health organizations and suppliers, and a glossary conclude the book." - Penny Spokes. Read a section from Chapter 1:
