THE ROAD TO HEALTH . . .

Using " The Method "

Newsletter

by Bonnie O’Sullivan

May/June 1999 Number 27

Dear Friend,

Dr. Answers Your Questions

Question #1: Did sickness within your own family prompt your interest in

research?

Dr. : No, I became a biologist first, out of an interest in research

on living matter. From this

background I became a nutritional consultant. During consulting I saw a

series of cancer patients and

noticed common denominators.

Question #2: How do you test individual teeth, or roots, for bacteria, i.e.

" Clostridium found at tooth

28? "

Dr. : You use an actual tooth #28. But the interpretation of such

tests is complicated.

Question #3: What, aside from the parasite program, Zapper and mop up

program, would be the most

beneficial for a brain tumor patient?

Dr. : Dental cleanup, etc.

Question #4: What are your thoughts on genetically altered foods?

Dr. : It is not my area of study. I would advise caution.

Question #5: Is the herbal parasite cleanse effective against Malaria?

Dr. : I have not worked with Malaria, although it is very important.

Question #6: Do you have five-year cure rates for your cancer patients? If

not, why not?

Dr. : The five-year cure rate does not apply to a parasite-caused

disease that is rather similar to

malaria. It would take costly statistical study, but you could do it

yourself by Internet.

Updates From Dr. ’s Books

By P. Amrein, President, Dr. Research Association (800) 220-3741

When updating her books Dr. did not update the copyright date. The

way to tell if you have

the latest edition of each of her books is by the number of pages in the

book. The updated Cure

For All Cancers has 622 pages. The updated Cure For HIV and AIDS has 543

pages. The Cure

For All Diseases has 604 pages and has not been updated.

Updates to The Cure For HIV and AIDS and The Cure For All Cancers:

Improved parasite program: The herbal parasite program has been known to be

insufficient with

tapeworms and Ascaris. Originally Dr. suggested Rascal for combating

these intruders.

Now, the treatment is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in a one time high dose. People

with HIV and

AIDS take the high dose once a week plus a daily-reduced dose. (Please see

page 6 of this

newsletter for more details and also page 10 for a Special Report on CoQ10.)

The few tapeworms that can even escape this treatment as well as Ascaris,

the common

roundworm, can be killed with the ‘Mop-Up Program:’ ozonated olive oil and

L-cysteine.

This will kill any parasites left over except for the ones in so-called

‘diverticulums’ (pockets in

the lower colon). The active ingredients of the parasite program are too

weak by the time they

reach the lower colon to kill the parasites in those pockets. They must

finally be killed with a

Black Walnut Hull Extra Strength enema or another of the newly added enemas

under ‘Recipes.’

Dental Cleanup:

In the original editions of her books, Dr. advised to change all

dental metal to plastic, such

as FlexiteTM or composite materials.

However, Dr. discovered urethane and bisphenol-A in composites as

well as copper,

cobalt, vanadium and carcinogenic dyes in the base/liner and other

adjunctive materials used.

Now, Dr. says, " Remove all metal and plastic from your mouth. " The

only materials

approved are methyl methacrylate (clear) for dentures and partials, and ZOE

(zinc oxide and

eugenol) for fillings once the patient has recovered.

Plastic can be even worse than metal, so read this revised section before

getting any dental work

done.

Malonic Acid:

A section on Malonic acid has been added to the Diet Cleanup. Malonic acid

is a potent

metabolic inhibitor.

It is necessary to stop consumption of food containing malonic acid. The

harmful effects of

malonic acid are manifold, Dr. has included a three-page-long list of

them in the updated

books. Furthermore, she has found malonic acid to be a common denominator

of all tumors.

(Editor’s Note: Dr. has since discovered the malonic acid is coming

from pesticides and

therefore she recommends that all vegetables should be organic, meaning

pesticide-free.)

Freon Pollution:

In the Home Cleanup section, Freon pollution is added as a major culprit.

Freon, that is mainly

used in refrigerators, does not directly harm the human body. Yet the body

cannot detoxify it and

it accumulates in the skin fat or in a sick organ, where it does indirect

damage: the harmful effect

of Freon is that it acts like a trap for other fat-soluble substances like

PCBs and metals.

The first action is to get rid of the Freon sources such as the

refrigerator (purchase a CFC-free

refrigerator) or the air conditioner in the home or car.

To get rid of the Freon in your body, you must drink ozonated water. The

ozone will react with

the Freon and can then be picked up by the liver. You will then need to

take the liver herbs to

help the liver carry the burden. Now the Freon appears in the kidneys.

Finally, the kidneys have

to be assisted with the kidney cleanse for you to finally get rid of the

Freon through the urine.

There are also some less major changes. The Recipe section now warns of the

new fashion of

making fruit and vegetables glossy by using a benzene-containing spray.

Quite a few new recipes

have been added as well. The Tests section now specifically lists the

mycotoxins that Dr.

tests for. Syncrometer lesson number 9 is newly added, whereas the old

lesson number 14 was

dropped.

Additional Updates to the Cure for HIV and AIDS:

In the Case Histories section 5 cases were added. They are all clinically

verified cases.

The older clinically verified cases were tested with the p24 test after the

treatment. The p24 test

looks for a protein that is specific to the HIV virus.

Now, there is a new test on the market; the PCR (polymerase chain reaction

test), that compares

a reference gene sequence with the blood drawn from the patient. This test

is also supposed to

be quantitative, although there is controversy about this, as it may

include dead virus.

The newly added cases have all been retested by the PCR test. Three of them

were negative, one

had a count of 400 which is also considered negative, and one had a count

of 30,000, but at the

same time had a negative p24 test.

The reason for the contradictory result in the latter patient is most

likely that the PCR test can

pick up dead virus. HIV is a retrovirus, i.e. it has a special way of

hiding in the human cells,

from where it pops out from time to time. Thus, the viral load (titer)

reduces over time and it

takes a while for the test to turn negative. It must be assumed that the

PCR, being more sensitive,

takes more time to turn negative.

Additional Updates to The Cure for All Cancers:

Apart from the changes mentioned above, the Cancers book now includes a

section about the

formation of tumors (page 47) that many have been desperately waiting for.

Dr. has been putting a strong emphasis on researching tumors, since

getting rid of

malignancy alone does not make a healthy patient. The new section on tumors

explains how

tumors form, what their common denominators are and how to get rid of them

or make them

shrink, respectively.

There are eight common denominators in tumors:

1.Tapeworm stages, to be removed by doing the tapeworm program

mentioned above

2.Ascaris, treated the same way

3.Clostridium bacteria, that need to be stopped by a full dental

clean-up and taking

betaine hydrochloride

4.Copper from copper pipes and metal and plastic tooth fillings

5.Cobalt which is found in dish and laundry detergents and tooth

fillings, both metal and

plastic

6.Vanadium that we get from metal and plastic fillings, car exhaust,

leaking household

gas and leaking refrigerant

7.Malonic acid and derivatives, treated as discussed

8.Fungus species. The only remedy for this is to stop consuming

contaminated foods.

This is a major step forward in the treatment of cancer patients. We can

expect even more

progress in this field coming from the intensive research Dr. is

constantly doing.

The Cure for All Diseases:

The Diseases book was published in 1996. It is not known when an updated

version of this book

will come out, since Dr. is very much caught up in her research on

tumors right now.

If the only book you have is the Diseases book, it would be wise to

purchase a copy of one of the

updated books while using the Diseases book to refer to the individual

illnesses.

Current Updates from Dr.

The most newsworthy research result from our office at this time is our

discovery of what is

really causing the immune lowering in cancer patients. It came as a

surprise that cancer patients

had white blood cells that were incapable of removing the common toxins,

such as heavy metals,

urethane, malonate and dyes.

In healthy tissues, quite near the tumor, the white blood cells are always

full of the same toxins

found in the tumor cells. This is because the white blood cells there are

busy " eating " the toxins,

that is, engulfing them and removing them, which is evidence of their

competence.

Where the white blood cells are refusing to " eat toxins " we find 3 unique

items: asbestos, acrylic

acid, and lanthanide elements (about 15). For two of these items we have

worked out a

mechanism. Asbestos causes " ferritin-coating " where the outside of the

white blood cells is

covered with ferritin so the receptors are disabled. Lanthanide elements

(thulium, lanthanium,

yttrium, ytterbium, etc.) cause iron and calcium choking: deposits of these

are inside the cells

turning on protein kinase, a probable link in tumor formation besides this

immune inhibition.

Asbestos is being eaten in gross amounts with food; I am presuming it comes

from old conveyor

belts used in food handling. It is stuck to the surface of fruits but can

be washed off, except at

blossom and stem end. Cut these out widely. It is in sugar and coffee,

which can’t be washed, of

course. But asbestos filters out through paper coffee filters. Sugar can be

made into a syrup with

water and filtered. Acrylic acid comes from unsaturated fats on the market.

It is formed when we

fry or microwave with them. (We should be using butter, lard, olive oil and

coconut oil when we

fry food). Another source, of course, is acrylic dental materials that are

not hardened enough,

allowing seeping. Lanthanide elements are pollutants of amalgam and are

present in contrast

materials used for making scans. They are particularly magnetic — highly

magnetic! (Editor’s

Note: Please see the article Facing the Facts About Saturated Fats, Heart

Disease, & Cancer,

Explore! magazine, Vol. 9, #1, 1999 on pages 27 & 28 of this newsletter.)

As soon as (the same day) these three things are out of the white blood

cells the white blood

cells begin to eat all the toxins again and remove them from the body,

including the asbestos,

acrylic acid and lanthanides in the tumor cells. This disables the white

blood cells again, but of

course we come to their rescue with some new items added to the cancer

program. We are

coming to the most exciting phase of our research . . . actually watching

the white blood cells

regain their power. Then doing a scan and seeing the progressive tumor

shrinking.

Bernard Jensen’s Black

Cherry Concentrate is clean! She recommends using it as a sweetener in the

Kidney Cleanse and

baking.

Updates from Dr. ’s Clinic

What the Cancer Patient May Eat After Leaving the Clinic

The following foods are high in nutrition and some are high in calories.

Getting well requires

taking in about 4,000 calories daily.

A.Lots of fresh fish

B.Sardines, canned salmon or tuna, not packed in water

C.Sterilized dairy foods; milk, cream, butter, buttermilk, whipping

cream, half and half (no

margarine)

D.Lots of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables (avoid frozen as they are

usually polluted with dyes). Soak

in HCL/B2 rinse for one minute and rinse (2 drops HCL to a cup of

water with a pinch of B2 until

colored). The HCL kills rabbit fluke and bacteria and the Vitamin B2

neutralizes dyes and

detoxifies benzene.

E.Eggs (use organic free-range eggs whenever possible); sterilize eggs

after removing from carton

(wash eggs under warm water, then soak in HCL bath . . . 2 drops per

cup). Soak for 2 minutes. Do

not replace eggs in carton. For scrambled eggs — while blending add 6

drops of HCL per cup of

egg and milk mixture. When serving add 2 drops HCL and a pinch of B2,

mixing thoroughly.

F.Ice cream (homemade)

G.Puddings and pies (homemade)

H.Home baked bread (bakery bread, not in plastic wrapper, must have the

bottom ¼ " trimmed away to

remove benzene and silicone.

I.Drinks: Fresh, organic grapefruit juice, watermelon juice, apple

juice, lemonade (recipes from

Dr. ’s book). Ozonated water: Two 10-ounce glasses per day

(ozonate water, with a fine to

medium size aerator at the end of ozone hose, for 5 or more minutes

and drink immediately). Take

ozonated water 20 minutes apart from any supplement.

J.Lots of potatoes, avoiding Russets (too much mold and Zearalenone).

Red potatoes are best, Yukon

Gold potatoes are 2nd best, and white potatoes are 3rd best. Wash

thoroughly under tap water and

dry. Peel dry. Always peel and remove ‘eyes.’ Soak in HCL/B2 rinse for

one minute and rinse (2

drops HCL to a cup of water with a pinch of B2 until colored). The HCL

kills rabbit fluke and

bacteria and the Vitamin B2 neutralizes dyes and detoxifies benzene.

K.Avocados

L.Beet Juice (you may purchase beet juice in a glass bottle, but add

HCL/B2 (3 drops HCL to ¾ cup

serving with a pinch of B2 until colored and stir in immediately).

Keep refrigerated. Drink ¾ cup

serving per day. This comes to 1+ quart per week. Take just before

meals.

M.Avoid eating sweetened food — that is anything in a box, bottle, or jar

that has been sweetened. It

is very likely to have asbestos. Other canned foods, even meats, have

rabbit fluke stages. Add HCL

and B2 to them (2 drops HCL and a pinch of B2 to one cup).

Note: Dr. says Bernard Jensen’s Black Cherry Concentrate is safe to

use as a sweetener.

Tapeworms and Ascaris

From: The Cure for HIV and AIDS, Dr. Hulda R. , updated 1997, p. 34,

copyright 1993

Tapeworm Disease

We all have tapeworm stages in our bodies, probably going back to childhood

when we ate dirt.

It is not normal for these stages to hatch and develop further. Their

purpose is to stay dormant.

And perhaps they do little harm this way.

But I have found that all HIV/AIDS sufferers have " tapeworm disease. " The

stages are hatching.

This spews the tiny larvae and cysts, plus unfertilized eggs and their

bacteria all over the body,

making you feel sick. Perhaps the large amounts of solvents accumulated in

the body forces them

to hatch; perhaps the lowered immunity allows them to hatch. The

Syncrometer usually detects

scolices (heads) and eggs in the most vital organs: the thymus, spleen,

bone marrow, brain and

liver.

Tapeworm stages that have disseminated in your body do not come

unaccompanied, either. They

bring some very harmful bacteria and viruses with them. Streptomyces fungus

is one of the

worst. Wherever I detect Streptomyces, a tapeworm stage is not far away.

The herbal parasite program is not effective against all tapeworms.

[Editor’s Note: In the earlier

editions of her books Dr. recommended Rascal against tapeworms.] The

Zapper can't

reach every one either. Other traditional herbs, such as pumpkinseed or

male fern, are helpful,

but the most effective treatment I have found is Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

It takes a very large amount, 3,000 mg., to reach tapeworm casts in far

away places like the brain

or bone marrow. This is 3 Grams. If you are extra tall or heavy (over 155

pounds), it takes 4

Grams.

CoQ10 is normally present in every cell of your body. It is never toxic and

there are no side

effects. But its cost is prohibitive to take on an ongoing basis. Plan not

to reinfect yourself again

so that one dose is enough. You could re-infect yourself by eating rare

meats or dairy products.

If you are very ill, take the large definitive dose every fifth day until

you are better. If you are

HIV positive but you are not ill, take it once a week. On other days take a

smaller dose, about

400 mg.

To get its full potency, take it on an empty stomach, such as before

breakfast. You may open the

capsules and eat the powder straight or stirred into pure honey (1/4 tsp.).

Don't eat dozens of

capsules. The capsules themselves could have an unexpected toxin.

If you are not HIV positive, you could reserve the large dose for times of

illness, taking the large

dose once a week until you are well.

Tough Tapeworms

But killing the tapeworm larvae still might not end your tapeworm disease!

A few varieties of

tapeworms, like Echinococcus granulosis and Echinococcus multiocularis,

have larvae inside

their larvae! And even those second-generation larvae can have more larvae

inside them. These

internal larvae are shielded from all things that might harm them. That is

undoubtedly why they

are not eradicated by zapper current or herbs or even CoQ10. The innermost

larvae are called

hydatid sand. Testing with a Syncrometer reveals that in some persons,

unfortunate enough to

have these tapeworm varieties, hydatid sand is still present and alive

after all these treatments.

E. granulosis is the most common variety to survive it all. It is found the

world over, infesting

sheep, cattle, pigs, horses, goats and dogs.

But what harm would a few left over stages of tapeworms do? With most of

them dead, surely

your health should improve. In themselves, they may do little harm. But

Streptomyces, which

accompanies the larvae, does a great deal of harm. Streptomyces can spread

through your body

like a virus, attacking your weakened organs such as the thymus.

Streptomyces is not merely a nuisance, like Candida. Streptomyces makes

protease! It uses up

your nucleic acid bases, adenine and hypoxanthine; it makes nitrites out of

nitrates; it makes

ammonia out of your urea; it has powerful immune suppressant action on

T-cells. This is no

ordinary invader although it is present in the soil everywhere.

Unless you kill every grain of the hydatid sand and other leftover shielded

larvae, you cannot get

well.

At the same time, the cyst must not be opened to let out the

mischief-makers, but merely

penetrated to kill the contents. Fortunately, we have found a combination

of two things that can

penetrate a succession of membranes to kill the shielded larvae within, as

well as any trapped

eggs. They are cysteine and ozonated olive oil. We will discuss them

shortly. But first, are there

other parasites besides some tapeworms that can survive our treatments so

far? Yes. Ascaris.

If you do not get well after the herbal parasite program, CoQ10, and the

Zapper treatment, you

can assume you have either leftover tapeworm stages or survivor Ascaris eggs.

The Curious Case of Ascaris

Ascaris infests animals and humans from pole to pole of this planet. It is

safe to say that all dogs

and cats have it and all humans have it from time to time. Domestic animals

and humans each

have their own variety of Ascaris, yet they can host the other varieties,

too. Horses have Ascaris

megalocephala. Pigs have Ascaris suum. The human variety is Ascaris

lumbricoides. Ascaris

does not attach itself to you, it hardly even moves. It simply lies still

in your organs absorbing

nutrients and eventually filling up with eggs.

When you kill Ascaris worms by zapping or with the herbal recipe, they are

mortally wounded.

They are dying, but the eggs inside them are not. They were sheltered.

Within a day these eggs

begin to leave the dying worm. Soon hordes of eggs are dispersing in your

body again!

And in another 24 hours they are beginning to hatch into larvae. You can

detect this as it happens

with a Syncrometer and test slides of eggs, larvae, and adults.

Of course, you are zapping and taking the herbal parasite killers. But

again, these do not

penetrate the Ascaris body to kill what is inside. It could take a few

weeks for the dead Ascaris

to be totally disintegrated so no more eggs are being sheltered within.

Surely, a few Ascaris eggs, still escaping into your body could not do much

harm since the

overall problem has been greatly reduced! This is not so. The eggs may even

do more harm than

the worms. Ascaris eggs bring three very important pathogens that spread

throughout your body:

Rhizobium leguminosarum, Mycobacterium avium/intracellulare, and the common

cold virus,

Adenovirus. A flood of these is responsible for your night sweats! As soon

as the last Ascaris

egg is gone, these pathogens are gone too, and the following night becomes

free of sweating. If

your night sweats come back, you know Ascaris eggs are present again. And

in 24 hours, unless

you kill them, they will hatch into larvae and start the whole cycle over

again.

It takes about 3 weeks for large parasites like Ascaris and tapeworm larvae

to disintegrate

completely and be cleared from your tissues. If eggs or scolices are

continually released during

this time, the cycle of infection cannot be broken. Fortunately, the same

two things that can

penetrate tapeworm larvae can also penetrate Ascaris worms and mop up after

them, whether

dead or alive!

Strangle the Stragglers

Here is the Mop-up Program for both tapeworm larvae and sheltered Ascaris

eggs:

Ozonated olive oil, ½ Tbs. taken morning and night

L-Cysteine, 500 mg, 2 capsules 3 times a day.

Buy a small ozonator (see The Road To Health order form) to make your own

ozonated oil.

You can easily make your own ozonated oil. Purchase an ozonator and a small

bottle of olive

oil. Pour off an inch or so. Attach an aerator to the end of your ozonator

hose and drop it to the

bottom of the olive oil bottle. Choose a ceramic or wood aerator, available

at any pet store; the

plastic varieties release benzene! The bubbles may make the oil flow over

the top. In this case,

pour more of it off. Turn the ozonator on before dropping the hose in the

bottle. Ozonate for 20

minutes or longer. When done, cap the bottle and store in the freezer until

you are ready to use it.

It melts quickly when needed. After 5 days of use, ozonate again to restore

potency. Would other

oils work? Possibly. I have not researched them, though, since they cannot

be trusted to be free

of benzene pollution.

Ozonated oil gives you no noticeable side effects, but it should be taken

no more than necessary.

One could expect the ozone to jump across from oil molecules to your fat

molecules, aging them

too soon. Fortunately, the dose is small and may be directed at the

intruders before it is directed

at you.

The cysteine should be the L-variety, not D-cysteine, which is unnatural.

It may be cysteine

hydrochloride or simply free cysteine.

Taking this supplement can give you side effects, perhaps due to its

penetrating antiparasite

property. If you have serious side effects, reduce the dosage. Even if you

reduce the dosage, do

not take it longer than 3 weeks. Most persons get no side effects. But the

more parasitized you

are, the more side effects you could have: fatigue, loss of appetite,

nausea. Remember that

animals that are being deparasitized have similar symptoms. I have not yet

found a way to

counteract these symptoms, so it is wise to drink lots of water while

taking it, take vitamin C and

vitamin E, 400 mg, one a day. Vitamin E will counteract the over-oxidation

produced

temporarily by the ozonated oil. Take it two hours or more after the

ozonated oil to make sure

there is no loss of the oil’s potency. Also, alkalinize yourself with ½

tsp. baking soda at bedtime

since all sulfur compounds will acidify you. Be patient. Usually, all side

effects disappear in a

few days, but in difficult cases they may last a week. Make sure to eat

regular meals in spite of

appetite loss. You must not allow yourself to lose weight, even for one

week. Taking a capsule

of vitamin B1, 500 mg, with each meal helps with appetite.

Cysteine has other important benefits for you. It counteracts the radiation

we all get from living

on this planet, called ‘background radiation.’ This might even explain why

supplementing

animals with cysteine had the effect of lengthening their lives

substantially. Cyteine is a heavy

metal detoxifier, perhaps through the formation of gluathione. It is a

precursor to glutathione and

deserves a permanent place on your supplement list.

Nevertheless, supplementing with cysteine should not be overdone. After

taking 6 capsules daily

for 3 weeks (plus baking soda at bedtime), go off it completely for one week.

If your symptoms return or never completely left, you can assume that some

eggs escaped or you

still have a particularly resistant tapeworm stage. You may safely double

the dosage of ozonated

oil. Take 1 Tbs. twice a day for one day only. It is not necessary to

repeat this. No Ascaris or

tapeworm stage can escape this one-time treatment. Only reinfection can

give them back to you.

Although there are no side effects, you may not take this dosage on a daily

basis. But you may

add it to your weekly maintenance program (including vitamin E).

To Summarize:

What you’ll need for killing ALL your parasites, including tough ones, and

mopping up after

them:

Black walnut tincture, an alcohol extract of the green hull (for

alcoholics, a water recipe is

given). (Note from Bonnie: We now carry alcohol-free freeze-dried powdered

Black Walnut in

capsules. This is being used successfully in Dr. ’s clinic. Please see

our order form

enclosed.)

1.Wormwood, in capsules.

2.Cloves, fresh ground, together with size 00 empty capsules.

3.Zapper.

4.CoQ10.

5.L-Cysteine.

6.Ozonated olive oil.

Optional: ornithine, arginine, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin E, baking soda.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 Increases Oxygen Utilization in Our Body

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has the unique ability to increase oxygen utilization

in our body and to

activate the immune system. When our immune system is exhausted from the

stress of fighting off

molds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc. and we feel sick or have a

chronic tired feeling

CoQ10 gives it a shot of oxygen, which revives it so it can attack the

foreign invaders with

renewed vigor.

According to researchers Emile G. Blinzakov, M.D. and Gerald L. Hunt, CoQ10

can " boost the

immune system, increase the strength of the heart without exercise, relieve

angina, protect against

heart attacks, lower high blood pressure, reduce weight naturally, heal

periodontal problems,

extend life, and slow down the aging process. " They explain, " CoQ10 is a

vital catalyst in the

creation of the energy that cells need for life. Without CoQ10 the chain of

cellular energy is

broken, and without energy, life ceases. "

CoQ10 Functions Much Like Vitamin E

CoQ10 is a naturally occurring molecule that resembles the chemical

structure of Vitamins K and

E. CoQ10 biochemically functions much like vitamin E in that it

participates in anti-oxidant and

free radical reactions. However, CoQ10 has an added biochemical role of

major importance; it

is involved in the production of energy at the cellular level. Of special

import is CoQ10’s role

in producing energy in heart cells.

CoQ10 is a Catalyst That Cells Need for Energy

CoQ10 is a catalyst that cells need for energy. As we age our ability to

synthesize CoQ10 is

greatly decreased, and that is when health troubles seem to begin.

Without CoQ10 we wouldn’t have enough energy to stay alive! CoQ10 may be

the ultimate

antidote to aging, the life-force your body produces to stay alive and

healthy . . . and it can be

taken as a nutritional supplement!

Ubiquinone — Another Name for CoQ10

Another name for CoQ10 is Ubiquinone. It was formed from the word

ubiquitous (found in many

places) because CoQ10 is found in virtually every cell in the body.

Coenzymes Are Not Inactivated by Stomach Acids

Coenzymes should not be confused with enzymes. Coenzymes are relatively

small molecules

compared to enzymes, and thus are not inactivated by stomach acids and are

readily absorbed.

Enzymes are large proteins that have very specific roles in carrying out

desirable chemical

reactions. Enzymes are catalysts that speed reactions that might take place

very slowly or not

take place at all if it were not for the presence of the enzymes. Yet, the

enzymes are not

consumed in the reaction. Each enzyme usually aids only one type of reaction.

Many enzymes work only in the presence of a smaller organic molecule, the

coenzyme.

Humans Require CoQ10

All live foods contain one form or another of CoQ (CoQ1 to CoQ10). Humans

require CoQ10.

Humans can make CoQ10 out of other coenzymes (CoQ1 to CoQ9), or we can

absorb it from our

food. However, we cannot manufacture CoQ10 from simple nutrients or CoQ10’s

building

blocks. As we age, many of us lose our ability to efficiently make CoQ10

out of the other

coenzyme Q’s (CoQ1 to CoQ9). Thus, many persons will depend on their food

for all of their

CoQ10, and therefore it becomes a vitamin to those individuals. To make

matters worse, foods

lose coenzyme Q’s (CoQ1 to CoQ10) with processing and storage.

Avoid " Mitochondrial Disorders " with CoQ10

About 95% of cellular energy is produced from structures in the cells

called mitochondria. The

mitochondria have been described as the cells’ " energy powerhouse, " and the

diseases of aging

are increasingly being referred to as " mitochondrial disorders. "

When CoQ10 is taken orally, it is incorporated into the mitochondria of

cells throughout the

body where it facilitates and regulates the oxidation of fats and sugars

into energy.

Using the analogy of the automobile: ATP is the Body’s fuel. The cell’s

engine is called the

mitochondria. The enzyme that makes it all work is succinate

dehydrogenase-coenzyme-Q10

reductase (CoQ10). The cells do not use the nutrients consumed in the diet

for their immediate

supply of energy. Instead, they prepare an energy-rich compound called

adenosine triphosphate,

or simply ATP.

Although ATP serves as the energy current for all cells, its quantity is

limited. In fact, only about

three ounces of ATP are stored in the body at any one time! This would

provide only enough

energy to sustain strenuous activity, such as running as fast as you can,

for 5 to 8 seconds.

Therefore, ATP must be constantly synthesized to provide a continuous

supply of energy. If it

were not constantly produced, our " fuel tanks " would read " empty " and all

movement would

cease. The foods we eat and store in ready access within the body provide

the basic raw

material to change into ATP with the help of CoQ10.

The body extracts the potential energy stored within the structure of

carbohydrate, fat, and

protein molecules consumed in the diet or stored in the body. This energy

is harnessed for one

major purpose, to combine adenosine and phosphate to form the energy-rich

compound ATP.

Because the body must have available energy to carry on the simplest

operation, for example

breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide, CoQ10 is considered

essential for the

health of all the body cells, tissues, and organs.

The metabolic pathways in which CoQ10 participates have been termed

" bioenergetics " by Karl

Folkers. Folkers was a pioneer researcher in the synthesis of CoQ10, since

its initial source,

from beef hearts, made the raw material quite expensive. The Japanese have

used a fermentation

process to produce CoQ10 for the mass market for several years. This has

enabled six million

Japanese to use this unique supplement on a daily basis at a low cost.

Although the body can

produce this substance, deficiencies have been reported in a wide range of

clinical conditions.

Animal studies have shown that the decline in CoQ10 levels that occur with

age may be partly

responsible for age-related deterioration of the immune system. In one

animal study, E.Z.

Bliznakov (1978) found that CoQ10 declined by 80 percent in the course of

normal aging. A

decline of this magnitude in a human being would be fatal, but deficiencies

approaching this

have been observed in aged humans and are associated with grave heart disease.

CoQ10 Supplementation

A need for supplemental Co Q10 could arise for several reasons:

Impaired CoQ10 synthesis due to nutritional deficiencies

Genetic or acquired defect in CoQ10 synthesis

Increased tissue needs resulting from illness

Because of its role in energy production, a deficiency of the enzyme could

cause or aggravate

many medical conditions.

If taken orally, CoQ10 can be taken up and utilized by the body. Because

CoQ10 plays such an

important role in energy production and can be administered orally, it is

possible to correct a

deficiency of the enzyme and the metabolic associated consequences by

supplementing with it.

Treating Illness with CoQ10

It is no surprise research is discovering that the level of CoQ10

influences the development and

course of many serious degenerative diseases. The heart is a major energy

consumer and perhaps

the organ whose function is most closely tied to CoQ10, which is highly

concentrated in heart

muscle cells. At least nine scientific (placebo-controlled) studies of

CoQ10 supplements in the

treatment of heart disease have been conducted; all found the supplements

to be safe and

effective.

Heart Disease

In those with coronary heart disease, supplementation with CoQ10 reduces

the frequency of

anginal episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise a person can

perform before they

develop chest pain. The dosage in this instance is 30 milligrams once or

twice a day.

Heart failure due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and other

causes is closely

associated with low levels of CoQ10 in the body. In fact, the severity of

heart failure is directly

related to CoQ10 levels. CoQ10 helps heart muscle fibers contract, reducing

the risk of heart

attack, and it inhibits the formation of blood clots in vital arteries.

High Blood Pressure and Congestive Heart Failure

This powerful antioxidant helps the heart muscle in congestive heart

failure, and reduces blood

pressure in hypertensive patients. In a study of over 100 hypertensive

patients, 50% were able to

eliminate the need for medications after about four months of treatment

with nothing but CoQ10.

The patients took an average dose of 225 mg per day. Many of the patients

who also had

congestive heart failure improved dramatically.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy refers to disease of the heart muscle due to unknown causes,

and there is early

evidence that supplementation with CoQ10 may improve the function of a

heart whose ability to

pump blood has been reduced by this disorder. On a recent radio show, the

host told me of a

friend of hers who was on the waiting list for heart transplant because of

his cardiomyopathy.

After taking high doses of CoQ10, he recovered and did not need any other

treatment.

MS and Huntington’s Disease

Other muscles can also develop myopathies, at least some of which are

associated with reduced

levels of CoQ10, and supplementation appears to be of some benefit.

Apparently because of its

ability to increase energy production, CoQ10 supplements may be a blessing

to people suffering

from degenerative disorders of the nervous system such as muscular

dystrophies and

Huntington’s disease.

Cancer

Cancer is yet another degenerative disease for which CoQ10 supplements may

be of some

benefit. There is early evidence that cancer victims have reduced blood

levels of CoQ10. Most

exciting are the results of early studies suggesting that supplementation

with CoQ10 may extend

the lives of these victims. There are even published reports of cases in

which metastases from

breast cancer disappeared after patients started taking the supplement.

However, as encouraging

as these early reports may be, we really will not know the efficacy of

CoQ10 in cancer treatment

until formal scientific studies are conducted.

Diabetes

The pancreas is another organ that contains large amounts of CoQ10. In

diabetes, a disease

related to the activity of the pancreatic islet cells, CoQ10 blood levels

are reduced along with

the activity of mitochondrial enzymes that depend upon it. Exciting early

studies, still awaiting

scientific confirmation, suggest that supplementation with CoQ10 may

partially normalize blood

sugar metabolism in diabetics.

Brain Disorders

Scientists are now looking at the effects of CoQ10 on another organ whose

cells also require a

high level of energy metabolism — the brain!

Here are the highlights from a study just published in the Proceedings of

the National Academy

of Sciences (1998; 95):

When CoQ10 was administered to middle-age and old-age rats, the level

of CoQ10

increased by 10% to 40% in the cerebral cortex region of the brain.

This increase was

sufficient to restore levels of CoQ10 to those seen in young animals.

After only two months of CoQ10 supplementation, mitochondrial energy

expenditure in the

brain increased by 29%, compared with the group not getting CoQ10. The

human equivalent

dose of CoQ10 to achieve these results is 100 to 200 mg a day.

When a neuro-toxin was administered, CoQ10 helped protect against

damage to the striatal

region of the brain where dopamine is produced.

When CoQ10 was administered to rats genetically bred to develop

amyotrophic lateral

sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), a significant increase in

survival time was

observed.

The scientists concluded: " CoQ10 can exert neuroprotective effects

that might be useful in

the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. "

This new study showed that short-term supplementation with moderate amounts

of CoQ10

produced profound anti-aging effects in the brain. Previous studies have

shown that CoQ10 may

protect the brain via several mechanisms, including reduction in free

radical generation and

protection against glutamate-inducted excito-toxicity. The study documented

that orally

supplemented CoQ10 specifically enhanced metabolic energy levels of brain

cells. While this

effect in the brain has been previously postulated, the new study provides

hard-core evidence.

Based on the types of brain cell injury that CoQ10 protected against, the

scientists suggested that

it may be useful in the prevention or treatment of Huntington’s disease and

ALS. It was noted that

while vitamin E delays the onset of ALS in mice, it does not increase

survival time. CoQ10 was

suggested as a more effective treatment strategy than vitamin E for

neuro-degenerative disease

because survival time was increased in mice treated with CoQ10.

Parkinson’s Disease

In a report published in the ls of Neurology (August 1997), a new

mechanism was

identified that showed that CoQ10 might be effective in the prevention and

treatment of

Parkinson’s disease.

This study showed that the brain cells of Parkinson’s patients have a

specific impairment that

causes the disruption of healthy mitochondrial function. It is known that

" mitochondrial disorder "

causes cells in the substantia nigra region of the brain to malfunction and

die, thus creating a

shortage of dopamine.

An interesting finding was that CoQ10 levels in Parkinson’s patients were

35% lower than

age-matched controls. This deficit of CoQ10 caused a significant reduction

in the activity of

enzyme complexes that are critical to the mitochondrial function of the

brain cells affected by

Parkinson’s disease.

The ramifications of this study are significant. Parkinson’s disease is

becoming more prevalent

as the human life span increases. The new study confirms previous studies

that Parkinson’s

disease may be related to CoQ10 dificiency. The conclusion of the scientists:

" The causes of Parkinson’s disease are unknown. Evidence suggests that

mitochondrial

dysfunction and oxygen free radicals may be involved in its pathogenesis.

The dual function of

CoQ10 as a constituent of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and a

potent antioxidant

suggest that it has the potential to slow the progression of Parkinson’s

diesase. "

Aging

CoQ10 levels decrease with aging. Depletion is caused by reduced synthesis

of CoQ10 in the

body, along with increased oxidation of CoQ10 in the mitochondria. A CoQ10

deficit results in

the inactivation of enzymes needed for mitochondrial energy production,

whereas

supplementation with CoQ10 preserves mitochondrial function.

Aged humans have only 50% of the CoQ10 that young adults have, thus making

CoQ10 one of the

most important nutrients for people to supplement.

Drugs That Inhibit CoQ10 Activity

Many drugs inhibit the activity of the important enzymes that benefit from

the presence of

CoQ10. Adriamycin, for example, a potent drug used in the treatment of

cancer, may interfere

with the function of the heart because of this. Other drugs that antagonize

CoQ10 include

lovastatin (a cholesterol-lowering agent), beta-adrenergic blocking (blood

pressure lowering)

agents, sulfonylureas (blood sugar-lowering agents), phenothiazines

(antipsychotic tranquilizers)

and tricyclic antidepressants. Usually 100 milligrams a day is roughly the

therapeutic dose.

However, since the absorption of CoQ10 varies from person to person, some

people need two to

three times this amount to attain a comparable level. Dry forms are

generally less effective than

oil-based forms, and the supplement is better absorbed when taken with a

fatty food.

While the picture is somewhat cloudy at present, perhaps blood levels of

CoQ10 should become

a routine laboratory test — particularly when a person is suffering from a

disorder known to be

associated with reduced levels of the coenzyme. If the blood level is found

to be low, then

supplements could be given to raise the level into the normal range.

(However, it is possible that

blood levels could remain normal while levels in the affected tissues have

been depleted.)

Periodontal Disease

Even if you are free of serious medical conditions, CoQ10 can help you

eliminate minor

ailments and fine-tune your health.

A review of seven studies found that 70 percent of 332 people with

periodontal disease

responded to CoQ10 supplements. In one case, an elderly woman with severe

gum disease who

was unable to eat solid food had her condition almost completely reversed

following three

months of CoQ10 therapy.

Obesity

There is some evidence that obesity is correlated with low levels of CoQ10.

In one study, about

half of a group of 27 obese patients had reduced levels of CoQ10. In

another intriguing study, the

CoQ10 levels of nine obese patients were assessed. The patients were then

placed on a

low-calorie diet and given CoQ10 supplements. Surprisingly, the mean weight

loss of the five

patients who started the study with reduced CoQ10 levels was significantly

greater than in the

rest of the group. If these findings can be confirmed in larger studies,

perhaps one out of every

two overweight patients may lose weight more easily with CoQ10 supplements.

How Much CoQ10 Should You Take?

Dr. Hulda R. recommends 500 milligrams daily.

Most pharmacists in 1999 recommend not less than 100

milligrams daily.

The researchers in the Special Report above used the following

dosages:

To reduce angina pectoris (chest pain): 30 milligrams once or

twice a day.

To minimize the toxicity of chemotherapy: 30 milligrams

per day.

To help lose weight: 50 milligrams twice daily.

To alleviate gum disease: 25 milligrams twice daily.

Note: Do not take supplements of CoQ10 that contain wax or food colors

(dyes), even if the FDA

approves it, because dye overloads the liver.

The Ray-X Button

By Bonnie O’Sullivan

This is a story concerning the health hazards of electromagnetic emissions

from computer

monitors and TVs.

In 1996 Dale decided to move his office into one of our bedrooms (until

this time he had been

sharing an office with me that he built onto our house several years ago).

The move allowed him

to have a TV on most of the day (he can work on his computer, watch TV and

talk on the phone

all at the same time with no loss of competency — unlike me).

As soon as he was set up with his computer, printer, scanner, telephone,

Bose radio, etc. he

decided to put a TV on his desk beside his computer monitor. (The TV has a

built-in VCR and

his computer has speakers so his office at times is quite a noisy place.)

Since Dale had been working surrounded with computers for years with no

apparent damage to

his health, we didn’t think of this environment as being the cause of a

cold he developed that

went into his chest. (He can usually fight off a cold in a day or two by

drinking lots of water and

herbal tea and sleeping under several blankets.) But after a few days it

was obvious that he was

losing the battle and he went to see his doctor. The doctor said that he

had pneumonia and sent

him home with several kinds of medicine. The medicine didn’t do much except

make him feel

drowsy. He was working only a few hours a day and not getting better.

At this time I happened to visit a friend and our conversation turned to

the health hazards of

electromagnetic emissions from computer monitors and TVs. I said, " Wouldn’t

it be great if there

was something we could do about it? " And my friend said, " But there is! I

have these little

Ray-X Buttons on all my appliances, TVs and computers! " She showed me

around her house and

at first I thought she had gone ’round the bend, but after I thought about

it for a minute I thought of

Dale and his TV; his cold/ pneumonia had started soon after he put it on

his desk. I told my

friend what I was thinking and she found the phone number of the company

and while I was at

her house I called and ordered several Ray-X Buttons. A few days after

placing one each on the

screens of his TV and monitor Dale regained his health and has had only one

cold since and it

cleared up in a day or two without causing any problems in his chest.

News Release: Slowing and Preventing Nearsightedness:

Preventive Measures Ease Computer Eye Strain and Other Health

Problems

St. Louis — Eye-related health care and glasses for problems related to

video display terminal

(VDT) use costs Americans nearly $2 billion each year, according to a

California-based

VDT-and vision expert.

Citing figures from the American Optometric Association (AOA),

Sheedy, O.D., Ph.D.,

Walnut Creek, CA, noted that eye-related complaints are the " tops among

problems " cited by

computer users. Computer use can also cause problems in other areas of the

body.

The most common eye-and-vision related complaints are eyestrain, eye

fatigue, eye irritation and

blurred vision, Dr. Sheedy said. Computer users also frequently complain of

tired, burning,

itching and watering eyes; headaches; flickering sensations and double

vision. Dr. Sheedy

defines this " complex of eye and vision-related problems associated with

using a computer " as

Computer Vision Syndrome or CVS. And it costs American companies and

employees $1.9

billion per year to diagnose and treat.

Do You Suffer From Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)?

Computers are everywhere today and so are complaints from computer users

about headaches,

dry eyes, blurred vision and other symptoms of eyestrain.

Although there is no evidence that using a computer causes vision problems,

it can cause

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), says the American Optometric Association.

CVS is a

catchall term for the eyestrain symptoms that can affect computer users’

productivity and leave

them feeling tired and miserable at the end of the day.

Do You Suffer From Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)?

Many people do, from spending long hours in front of computer screens and

video display

terminals. We invite you to answer these questions to help you discover

whether prolonged

computer use is affecting your vision as a result of Computer Vision

Syndrome, an occupational

condition recognized by the American Optometric Association.

If you suffer from any of these problems, you may be developing CVS:

1.Tired eyes

2.Eyestrain

3.Sore eyes

4.Periodic blurred near vision

5.Occasional blurred distance vision

6.Headaches

7.Dry eyes

8.Slowness in changing the focus of your eyes

9.Red eyes

10.Burning eyes

11.Contact lens discomfort

12.Changes in color perception

13.Glare sensitivity

14.Excessive tearing

15.Neck, shoulder and back pain

If you checked even one or two of these symptoms, and if your work or

recreation involves

prolonged use of computer monitors or video display terminals, your could

be suffering from

Computer Vision Syndrome.

Ray-X Button Testimonials

Hi,

My husband bought a Ray-X Button for my computer 2 months ago. I was

skeptical about any

benefits but put it on my monitor anyway. Then just in the past 2 weeks I

realized that I have been

working up to 6 hours a day at my computer. Before the button, I could only

manage a couple of

hours before burning out. I’m convinced the noticeable effects are from the

button.

So now I’m ordering one for my nephew who is a computer consultant and

really needs the

button.

Thank you, Simpson, TX

Hello!

I’m amazed at how effective the Ray-X Button is on my TV!! I normally can’t

look at it for more

than a ½ hour without severe eyestrain and fatigue. (I don’t watch the

bilge on TV today — it’s

only hooked up so I can watch videotapes and edit the videos I take of

family sporting events and

occasions.)

I have been editing tapes all week for 2-3 hours at a time with no

symptoms! Maybe now I can

finally get a computer! I have always resisted because when I use a

computer I have the same

symptoms, even with a $700 " Low-ELF " monitor and a $100 Glare screen!

Regards, Pete Manzolillo, NY

Hello!

I wanted to check in with you and give you my feedback on the Ray-X Button

for my computer.

Remember, I ordered these to resale at my store: Sheri’s Sonshine Nutrition

Center in CA. Well,

after about 1-2 months, I feel I have given it ample time to test it on my

eyes. My eyes feel

G-R-E-A-T! From the first time I put the buttons on my monitor (1 on each

corner . . . I have a

large monitor) I could tell the difference.

Thank you for solving my tired eye problem. Please feel free to contact me

if you would like to

use some of my quotes in your advertising. I’ll be calling you in the next

couple of days to order

some pendants.

Thanks, Sheri Senft-Sulfano, CA

Hi Guys,

My company CEO listened to my pleas for getting some Ray-X Buttons and

Pendants almost a

year ago. As soon as they arrived I put one on my monitor and the pendant

around my neck. What

a difference!!

My job is surfing the net for new technology, and this brought me to your

doorstep. I spend

around 10 to 12 hours a day in front of a 17 inch screen! Before I had the

Ray-X Buttons, I was

catching myself drifting off to sleep at around 10:30 in the morning. Now,

I might get tired

around 8 pm! It’s just such a relief to have something that REALLY works!!

I can’t thank you

enough for these wonderful little things! I am ordering some for my dad now

.. . . he just got his

first PC at age 80! He is writing 6 books in a row . . . lots of computer

hours ahead of him, so

time to get the buttons installed!

Dave , CA

Hi,

Computers have always made me feel sick. My sensitivity has been such that

after three hours on

a " Swedish Standard " MacIntosh, I will feel jet-lagged for three days, and

suffer from deep

eyestrain. Since installing the Ray-X Button, these problems have vanished.

No more " jet-lag "

and no more eyestrain.

Curiously, the Ray-X Button cures the eye-strain whereas the special

" glare-guard " only

lessened it, and now is no longer necessary! For me the Ray-X Button has

been a Godsend, and I

am more than pleased to spread the word.

Judith A. Hill, Portland, OR

Hello,

Greetings from Zaire! I pray this letter will find you enjoying your daily

walk with the Lord.

Some time ago we received your price list for the summer of ’96 and we

really did appreciate

your remembering us.

You had given me a Ray-X Button when we bought the Colloidal Silver from

you there in

Goshen, with the promise that we would try it out and let you know what we

thought. First of all,

I can tell you we have really appreciated it! I have not been able to do

the plant test on it because

of our schedule and location of the laptop computer, but by accident

several times, we forgot to

use the button, and each time, after about an hour, we began to experience

the " jet-lag " feeling.

Whenever we use the Ray-X button, we don’t get that feeling even after

several hours of

continuous work in front of the computer. We’re convinced it works!

Thanks again for your help and for fighting for the right to alternative

health care!

Chuck Baldwin, Zaire
