In October 1994, Herbert Rubin, DC, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida telephoned me. As a chiropractor alert to all manner of healing, Dr. Rubin was inquiring on behalf of his severely debilitated 18 year-old son, Jordan, who suffered acutely from regional enteritis with granulomatous ileitis, collectively identified as Crohn's disease. 1
Crohn's disease is a long-term swelling of the bowel of unknown origin that affects the lower part of the small intestine (the ileum), the main part of the large intestine (the colon), or both structures simultaneously. Jordan S. Rubin was experiencing every sort of discomforting symptom associated with it: a minimum of one dozen attacks of diarrhea daily, severe stomach pain, generalized abdominal cramps, nausea, fever, chills, weakness, emotional depression, disappearance of appetite, and dramatic weight loss. He had malabsorption of food nutrients, and nonspecific laboratory findings that included a serum iron level at zero for over a year, an elevated serum candida antigen, positive tests for amoebiasis (amoebae infection), cryptosporidiosis (protozoa infestation), and extreme intestinal dysbiosis, hypoalbuminemia, electrolyte imbalance, leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated C-reactive protein. Definitive X-ray studies and endoscopy testing by gastroenterologists confirmed the young man's condition.
Acting on my published information, Dr. Rubin sent his son to Bad Steben, Germany to receive treatment from Helmut G. Keller, MD, the developer of Carnivora. But as it turned out, he returned to the United States feeling worse, needing to come home in a wheelchair.
"I grew up under the supervision of a holistic health proponent, my dad, who never allowed sugar or processed food in our home. I hadn't ever experienced any bowel problem in my life - no stomach or intestinal flu, no diarrhea - but one day I began feeling abdominal discomfort to the extreme. It happened when I was in my first year of college, under a lot of stress and eating junk food," states Jordan.
"I began seeking treatment from many different healers, nearly 70 in all, including allopathic physicians, chiropractors, herbalists, homeopaths, acupuncturists, osteopaths, nutritionists, and numerous other health professionals. The dozens of pharmaceuticals prescribed by medical doctors, especially prednisone, only made my symptoms worse. I took over 200 different nutritional supplements each day," Jordan explains. "Because of an attack of thrush [candidiasis], my tongue looked like it was wearing a polar bear pelt. From a weight of 180 pounds, within a few weeks I dropped to 150.
"An osteopath, having tested me for every kind of disease - including MDS - misdiagnosed my weight loss as some kind of bacterial infection. He prescribed antibiotics and sent me back to school, where my symptoms worsened. As terrible joint pains struck me, I ran fevers of 104oF. When my body temperature spiked 106oF, the college authorities became really alarmed and had me flown home. I was given emergency treatment in a Palm Beach hospital.
"That was my first hospitalization which lasted two weeks. Here is a short list of drugs I was prescribed thereafter: intravenous (IV) hydrocortisone, multiple forms of broad spectrum antibiotics, IV metronidazole [Flagyl], anticholinergics, and antidiarrheal loperamide. By then my body weight had fallen to 140 pounds. I felt exceedingly weak. From a biopsy of the large intestine, my diagnosis of'Crohn's colitis,' accompanied by 'marked duodenitis,' was made during this hospitalization. Thus, the condition was affecting my bowel from the duodenum to the rectum. Surgery involving a colostomy wasn't any option," Jordan advises. "The treatment offered was more drugs with their various adverse side effects. Therefore, my parents and I started to search at that time for alternative methods of healing the condition of Crohn's colitis.
"I began to journey around the world to different clinics and physicians," the young man said. "For almost three years, here is what I tried as alternatives to conventional allopathic medicine: cell therapy; seven daily intramuscular injections of vitamins and minerals; IV adrenocortical extract; blood transfusions; immunotherapy; chelation therapy; daily IV drips with several grams of vitamin C; energy medicine with the Voll energy machine, the Rife machine, and interotherapy; classical homeopathy; most of the herbals known to man, including suma, Chinese herbs, and South American herbs, such as Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosai)."
His search for treatment also brought Jordan to use other biological therapies too numerous to include here, but he did hint at a few. "I took shark cartilage; the antiyeast diet plus the anticandidiasis drugs nystatin and Diflucan; massive doses of L-glutamine amino acid; applied kinesiology; hormone replacement therapy; injectible thymus; the rotation diet; acupuncture; oral enteral feedings; gluten- and dairy-free dieting; Ultra ClearTM sustained dieting; almost every available food supplement, and any form of immune-stimulating product," Jordan says. "But nothing out of all these seemed to help!
"By now, I was experiencing as many as 30 bowel movements during a 24-hour period. I was fatigued and terribly dehydrated. My body weight fell to just 104 pounds; my resting heart rate galloped at 220 beats per minute. Almost no electrolytes were detectable in my body. This resulted in emergency hospitalization; it took the nurses three hours to get blood from me. That's when my dad telephoned you, Dr. Walker, to learn more about IV and oral Carnivora. And I did make the trip to Germany.
"At the time of that second hospitalization during the late fall of 1995, the hospital staff was convinced that I was about to die," Jordan says. "I asked God to help me, and those prayers were answered by his sending a solution for my suffering. Upon my leaving the hospital two weeks later weighing 111 pounds [see Jordan's photograph at age 20], I learned about God's gift to me - it was homeostatic soil organisms.
"I ordered the encapsulated soil product and started to take more than what was recommended. Improvement didn't come on immediately; I had somewhat of a Herxheimer reaction," suggests Jordan.
Also referred to as "die-off", the Herxheimer reaction is an allergic response resulting from the death of large numbers of pathological organisms. Their cell-wall proteins become absorbed through the patient's chronically weakened mucous membranes which absorb toxic products from these dead organisms. The collective effects of organism die-off often temporarily worsen one's symptoms. Holistic physicians who practice environmental medicine believe this die-off reaction indicates that the patient is having an excellent backlash effect to good treatment.2
"About 30 days after taking the beneficial bacteria, I eliminated this shiny, black, tar-like material. After experiencing about seven thousand bowel movements in a year, one would think my colon was pretty much cleaned out. But it wasn't," Jordan states. "For about 30 days, I didn't really see much improvement but stuck with those homeostatic soil organisms, primarily because I had never before read such convincing research on any product. Within a month, I began feeling new surges of energy. My immune system started to restore itself. My appetite returned, and each week I've put on a few pounds as well as good muscle mass. Today, a year after finding the beneficial bacteria, I weigh 184 pounds [see Jordan's photograph at age 21, which was taken six months ago]. And I am pursuing a career in the health field.
"From the ground up, these homeostatic soil organisms have kick-started my immune system into re-functioning again. Nothing else has helped me like they have," Jordan concludes. "From spending as much as $100 a day on nutritional supplements, now I'm down to taking almost nothing else except the homeostatic soil organisms and a whole-food supplement. All I require to keep a healthy bowel is to stay on a diet of whole foods which includes meat and dairy and a daily nutritional supplement of homeostatic soil organisms as the foundation of my eating program."
Crohn's disease is a "wasting" disorder in which the immune system can no longer function properly. The numerous symptoms Jordan had experienced happened because his body was virtually "shutting down." The many other new types of health problems indicate that human autoimmune functions are severely compromised. The incidence of diseases attributed to severe immunological dysfunction is on the rise, and informed observers do know why. It's the lack of probiotic-type, beneficial gut bacteria.
Nobel laureate Elias Metchnikoff PhD, who discovered many immune system components including phagocytes at the turn of the 20th century, wrote about the prolongation of life. He postulated that there's a direct and intimate correlation between health, longevity, and the proper balance of beneficial microorganisms in the body.
Recently there has been renewed interest in microbes, probably because the antibiotic-resistant bacteria are currently invading hospitals and causing havoc. Once again scientists are documenting many of Dr. Metchnikoff's findings and today, medical scientists and some clinicians are refocusing attention on the indispensable part played by living organisms in the gut and the rest of the body.3
Over 400 distinct species of microorganisms inhabit the human digestive tract, and their collective quantity far exceed the number of physiological tissue cells. These friendly microorganisms are responsible for numerous essential body operations, including maintaining the chemical and hormonal balance, preventing infiltration of harmful bacteria, yeasts, viruses, molds, and other parasites, producing and regulating vitamins, stimulating the function of the entire digestive system, and promoting proper immune function.4
In unpublished observations, William Bryce, MD, classifies homeostatic soil organisms (HSOs) as a type of "probiotic" that has a role in the body along with their beneficial bacterial cousins. A probiotic falls into the category of a dietary supplement consisting of beneficial microorganisms which limit the proliferation of disease-causing microbes by competitive exclusion in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals.5
"When homeostatic soil organisms are ingested and deposited in the human gut, the principle remains the same as in the soil of a garden," says Dr. Bryce, "except that the more complicated environment provides greater opportunity for influence within a living organism and the processes therein. Mammals are wrapped around their own organic garden [the gastrointestinal tract] and carry it with them."
Dr. Bryce concludes, "Just as HSOs destroy molds, yeasts, fungi, and viruses in the soil of the organic garden, they perform the same function with pathological organisms present in the gut, which greatly enhances the body's immune system."
The Pro-Biotic Characteristics of HSOs The term "probiotic" comes from Greek words meaning "for life", and refers to organisms such as the bacteria which contribute to the health and balance of the intestinal tract. The word "probiotics", when used for descriptive purposes, covers all of those favorably disposed, healthy microorganisms such as the ones found in yogurt, kcfir, sour milk, cheese, acidophilus milk, etc. They make up the major portion of the intestinal flora in a healthy person.
The word flora, as in "gut flora," means "flower," and probiotics are flower-like plants growing within the alimentary canal. Their soil is the gut mucosa with an acid pH ranging from 5.0 to 6.9. (Neutral is a pH of 7.) If the mucosal soil's pH turns alkaline, illness sets in as leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's, or some other series of symptoms that bring on serious gastrointestinal discomfort. It's best to employ probiotics as a means of avoiding such discomfort.6
Homeostatic soil organisms collectively exhibit all of the most favorable characteristics of an effective probiotic
From thousands of years up to about half-a-century ago, the American agricultural system raised fruits and vegetables in soil exceedingly rich in bacteria and other organisms. After World War II, however, these homeostatic soil organisms were displaced as a result of chemical farming and pesticide usage by big agricultural business.
In their quest to reduce unwanted disease-causing pathogens, agribusiness groups sterilized the soil and water (chlorination), thereby eliminating the beneficial bacteria as well as the harmful ones. We now even give antibiotics, hormones, and other drugs to chickens and cattle - so much so that all of the European Common Market refuses to import livestock from American farms.
As the practice of soil and water sterilization increased over the years, the beneficial bacteria in American's bodies decreased correspondingly. Normally we have a balance of 85% "good" bacteria to 15% "bad" ones in the intestinal tract. But today most of us show the reverse ratio; therefore, it's no coincidence that the incidence of chronic and degenerative diseases have multiplied dramatically since World War II.
Sophisticated lifestyles among Western industrialized countries contribute greatly to critical gastro-intestinal disruption among the populations. Antibiotic usage, excessive stress, consumption of excess sugar and alcohol, the regular drinking of carbonated beverages, and frequent consumption of over-the-counter drugs do alter the acid/alkaline balance of the intestinal tract, creating the perfect environment for pathogenic microbial activity.
Nutritional researchers now are convinced that as much as 90% of known systemic diseases may be caused or exacerbated by gastrointestinal imbalances. Jordan's Crohn's disease is a severe example of what can occur from gut imbalance.
Other examples are allergies, chronic candidiasis, food sensitivities, asthma, hormonal dysfunction, intestinal gas and bloating, certain skin diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, and more.
When toxins are dispersed through the bloodstream, a precondition of "intestinal toxemia" [poisoning by harmful gut bacteria] occurs. "It is now universally conceded that autointoxication is the underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptom complexes," said H.H. Boeker, DC, as far back as 1928.
The immune-stimulating transient food and soil-borne microorganisms are the crucial missing elements necessary to address this problem of intestinal toxemia.
While hiking through a remote area on another continent in 1978, an American scientist discovered some mounds on the ground that he recognized as homeostatic soil organisms of an unusual nature. He brought a small quantity of the HSOs to the United States for use in experimentation.
Because these bacteria are not regularly found on the North American continent, the scientist had to create a new culture for research purposes. Over the next three years his research team performed studies on the unknown homeostatic soil organisms. These researchers: (1) identified exactly what the various strains were; (2) determined toxicity or pathogenicity of the bacteria for humans or animals; (3) ascertained if the HSOs are beneficial for animals or humans and found they were useful to both. In vivo tests on rodents and other animals proved that nothing toxic came from the bacteria.
Botany studies conducted indicated the HSOs were beneficial to plants and soil. Next, at Mexican institutions, human beings - including the biochemist himself- underwent clinical tests with the bacteria by applying them topically to open wounds. Then the organisms were ingested. No toxicity reactions or side effects were observed; in fact, the HSOs offered no adverse responses in the test subjects even with greater amounts consumed.
Over time, the scientist and his co-workers perfected a process for selectively breeding superior strains of the microorganisms until they produced cultures that furnished good, positive body reactions such as more normal bowel movements, improved sleep patterns, fewer colds and flu, and greater amounts of energy. During the breeding experiments, the manufacturer brought his HSOs to university laboratories in California for experiments. . He collaborated with professors and utilized the universities' computer data banks which resulted in the beneficial soil organism product known today.
The capsule contains a culture of specifically selected microorganisms incorporated in a growth medium. When in contact with aqueous solutions of any type (including body fluids), the HSOs begin reproducing and ingesting the host substrate medium. They form a protein biomass for the organisms' proper functions. By use of an unpatented but secret process, the HSOs are kept in a dormant state within powder until they become activated by their introduction into an aqueous solutions such as water or juice.8
Neither the manufacturer nor his collaborators ever made any changes to the bacteria by mutation or other means. These homeostatic soil organisms appear to be as old as the Earth.
Since 1981, more than 20,000 people have used the beneficial bacteria under several brand names. The exact number of consumers are unknown simply because those health professionals dispensing the product have never reported the total number of their patients using it.
Joseph B. Culbertson, DC, theorizes that homeostatic soil organisms may actually reverse the degenerative process of disease. "Research has shown that [the HSO formula] does several things. The product detoxifies the intestinal tract, increases the body's ability to absorb nutrients, and makes the immune system super strong, especially in its ability to fight viruses and bacteria," states Dr. Culbertson. "They're extremely aggressive against all pathological molds, yeasts, fungi, and viruses. They stimulate the formation of human lactoferrin. People with environmental allergies and food allergies find that these problems abate. The functioning of any supplemental nutrient or medication becomes enhanced... because homeostatic soil organisms improve intestinal absorption."
Examining each of the actions of these HSOs, we see how and why they work beneficially for the human body.
HSOs create a healthy colon environment and flush pathogens (including parasites) out of the body.
The HSOs establish colonies in the entire digestive system, starting in the esophagus and ending in the colon, by attaching themselves to the walls of these organs. Burrowing behind the "putrefaction" which lines the intestinal walls, they eat and destroy the unfriendly bacteria. The decay is then dislodged and flushed out of the body in the normal evacuation process.
In this way the live beneficial bacteria reestablish the normal balance of "good" to harmful bacteria, thereby recreating the proper chemical environment so that yeasts and other adverse microbes will not overrun the GI tract.
Moreover, protozoa, worms, and other parasites are eliminated as well by the aggressive action of the HSOs, both within the intestines and throughout the other organs and tissues. Candida albicans, yeasts, and molds are obliterated.
HSOs tend to correct the gut's malabsorption of nutrients; they actually produce and then regulate vitamin metabolism.
Many of us experience low nutrient absorption because of layers of putrefaction consisting of undigested foods coating the small intestinal villi which ordinarily are responsible for the absorption of nutrients. When this leather-like substance is removed, these small hair-size mucosal extensions are freed to finally perform their job properly. The anecdotal reports from users of the HSO formulas indicate a mucosal absorption increase averaging 50% with daily supplementation.
In addition, the beneficial bacteria break down food into its most basic elements to allow almost total absorption of nutrients. The 72 trace minerals and another dozen micronutrients in the product furnish "biological data" needed to provide an "absorption pattern" which shows the body how to once again get nutrients from foods consumed.
Among other nutrition scientists, medical biochemist Peter R. Rothschild, MD, PhD, believes most mineral deficits are caused by chronic gut absorption difficulties and not from lack of minerals. The wide variety of micronutrients in the HSO formula are so well absorbed through the mucosa they act as biological response modifiers. (They help to physiologically modify the ability to absorb larger nutrients from foods.)
HSOs facilitate cellular repair and restore homeostatic cell function by producing DNA IRNA.
Working in a symbiotic relationship with somatic cells, homeostatic soil organisms metabolize proteins necessary for cell growth and repair. They rebalance cellular chemistry and rid it of waste products. The HSOs in the HSO formula produce a wide array of DNA with the corresponding RNA. Inasmuch as DNA carries instructions for activating self-repair by creating a pool of extra DNA/RNA immediately available when needed, accelerated healing of wounds occurs. This includes the healing of severe skin burns, surgical incisions, and infections.
HSOs provide gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid responsible for crucial hormone production. Without it, the endocrine system can't function. The body can't synthesize GLA but must extract it from foods, which is difficult.
HSOs produce the free radical quencher, superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant. Unless extinguished at once, free radicals attack any physiological molecule, causing cancers and other tissue damage. SOD, working enzymatically, is a first-line defense against free radicals before they can cause organ damage. It's found in only a few foods, and the assimilation and retention of SOD is difficult. Studies at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have shown that SOD dramatically reduces tissue damage in the heart following a coronary thrombosis as well as alleviating destructive changes in the intestines, pancreas, kidneys, and skin. The SOD enzymatic activity increases efficiency of energy within the organelles of cells, thereby allowing them to concentrate on nourishment and self-repair. SOD is created as a byproduct of the HSO's metabolism.
HSOs stimulate the production of a key immune system regulator, the polypeptide alpha interferon (a molecular protein). The great virus-fighting ability of alpha interferon has long been known by the scientific community. Research documents over 50 of its immune-regulating effects. Alpha interferon has been synthesized and used for a variety of illnesses, notably cancer and MDS, but the recombinantly-derived version is extremely costly, inefficient, and has many adverse side effects.
Performing research studies on the beneficial bacteria at the State Academy of Medicine in Apodaca, Mexico, Dr. Peter Rothschild and his coworkers report that the HSO formula, "when consumed at the recommended dosage, stimulates the body's endogenous alpha interferon production. The product itself does not contain any alpha interferon but comprises a singularly efficient set of nutrients that seem to increase specifically and most effectively the body's natural alpha interferon production."
Working on human immunopathic patients, the research team demonstrated that the human body requires extremely small daily quantities of alpha interferon to maintain a lively and effective immune response. In adults, the amalwa cells, those Iymphoblastoid cells that serve as cradles or holding pens for T-lymphocytes (types of white blood cells) derived from the thymus gland, produce just 200 nanograms (ngm), a homeopathic dosage of fresh alpha interferon daily.
According to Dr. Rothschild, this tiny bit of therapeutic substance produced by the immune system in reaction to the bacteria is an effective neutralizer of the toxic effects of pathogenic viruses that cause herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, influenza, and other potentially life-threatening illnesses .
HSOs Produce Un-programmed Antibodies HSOs produce a protein which the immune system reacts to as an antigen (foreign substance), stimulating the formation of a large number of the B-lymphocytes (other types of white blood cells) which, in turn, spawn uncoded antibodies.
According to Dr. Rothschild's studies, the antibodies produced are "non-addressed," meaning they've not been preprogrammed to attack any specific pathogen but are freely available to travel where and when needed. By their action, HSOs replace spent antibodies depleted through aging, drug use, and living a poor lifestyle.
Dr. Rothschild explains, "The beauty of it all is that this huge reservoir of extra antibodies is always on hand for the immune system to utilize as long as the individual is taking the HSOs regularly. Without them, this reservoir of extra antibodies is unavailable. Thus, by ingesting homeostatic soil organisms on a regular basis the effectiveness of one's immune system becomes vastly enhanced."
According to the observations of health professionals dispensing the product, people taking the HSO formulas stay free of viruses and other infections so that they report having fewer colds and illnesses.
HSOs stimulate the production of lactoferrin within the body. Dr. Rothschild advises that most people do not exhibit a lack of iron but rather the inability to absorb it. "Iron that is used today to complement foods has a very low big-accessibility rate. Only about 7% is absorbed by the GI tract and an even lesser amount is actually assimilated by the organs that require it. In a useless effort to compensate for this shortcoming, persistently excessive amounts of iron are added to food in general. The iron then remains unassimilated and supports infectious bacterial and viral growth in the individual."
Present in the homeostatic soil organisms themselves is a certain substance that stimulates the formation of human lactoferrin, a member of the family of iron-binding proteins. As affirmed by Dr. Rothschild, lactoferrin protein is found in the specific granules of neutrophils where it exerts an anti-microbial activity by withholding iron from ingested bacteria and fungi. For this reason HSOs exhibit characteristics akin to fungicides, virucides, bactericides, and parasiticides.
"Iron carried by lactoferrin is extremely bioaccessible - greater than 95% - yet it will not be delivered to noxious microbes. Lactoferrin is identified by specific receptors and delivers iron to the epithelial cells of the small intestine. Iron is released only at the point of recognition and does not, therefore, become available for any other microorganism in the intestinal tract," concludes Dr. Rothschild.
Lactoferrin derived from bovine sources is sold today as a nutritional supplement, but it has almost no binding power to pathological microbes and thus has little effect on them. Human lactoferrin is less allergenic and less toxic than a foreign protein such as bovine lactoferrin and will be preferred for all human applications over bovine lactoferrin. The one company that had been manufacturing recombinant human lactoferrin, Agennix, Inc. has gone out of business. To my knowledge, this beneficial bacteria formula is the only one currently available as a source of human-derived lactoferrin.
The homeostatic soil organisms have been useful in treating some serious illnesses. In an average of 90 days following their ingestion, sick patients, ingesting this beneficial bacteria strictly as an adjunctive healing agent, show positive therapeutic results observed and reported anecdotally by both patients and doctors.
The patients and their health professionals administering these cultures of selected microorganisms were surprised and heartened by elimination of the disease symptoms.
Having practiced chiropractic manipulation and nutritional therapy in Indiana, Phyllis Wilson Confer, DC (now deceased) had been dispensing HSOs for her patients' serious health problems since 1989. She revealed her experiences to Donald Boys, PhD, of Indianapolis, former member of the Indiana House of Representatives and columnist for USA Today. At the time of her interview, Dr. Confer told Dr. Boys she had 50 patients taking Natur-Zyme (an early HSO formula).
"One of my patients had exceedingly elevated blood triglycerides at 305 milligrams percent (ma %). Six weeks later, after taking HSOs, her triglycerides dropped to a mere 151 mg %," Dr. Confer said. "I'm excited about the product. There are so many positive experiences associated with it."
"For instance, I had another patient with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia] who was scheduled for surgery [transurethral resection of the prostate gland]. Some weeks before his calendar date to undergo the operation, I put this man on those same homeostatic soil organisms as an immune system booster so that he might heal faster. As a result of his taking the food supplement, his prostate gland shrank and the surgery was cancelled," advised Dr. Confer. "My patient had made no alteration in his usual lifestyle except to take capsules of the soil organisms as a food supplement."
A second man was the victim of poisoning from agent orange during the Vietnam War. His exposure had left him with a permanent disability that caused marked shuffling as he walked. "When I dispensed the homeostatic soil organisms to him, inside of two weeks he didn't shuffle anymore but rather walked upright. A number of other discomforts from which he suffered cleared up too," Dr. Phyllis Confer told Dr. Boys.
In 1993, three single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical investigations of the beneficial soil bacteria were conducted on a Mexican population at the Dispensario Medico, Partido de la Revolucion Democratica (Medical Dispensary of the PRD's Guanajuato State Branch), in Irapuato, Mexico.
The first study investigated chronic hypercholesteremia in adult humans to learn if the condition would improve in a total population of 70 subjects. All of the patients exhibited blood cholesterol counts greater than 300 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dI)
In his conclusion to the study, the Director of Dispensario Medico's Clinical Research Division wrote: "The administration of HSO capsules to 35 adult humans of the test group, suffering from chronic hypercholesteremia, appears to have reduced their total cholesterol count by not less than 25%; whereas, results in a comparable control group, minus two dropouts, administered placebo capsules containing vegetal carbon, are, with one exception, not viable."
Using the same product as the test agent above, study #2 investigated 70 subjects to determine whether there is an increase in energy levels and vitality in human adults of both sexes free of any diagnosed pathologies.
Of the 35 test patients, 33 reported increased energy levels and a feeling of general wellbeing. Among the placebo group, none of the 33 subjects remaining after two dropped out of the study, reported a positive response.
This same Director of the Clinical Research Division wrote: "The administration of HSO capsules to 35 human adults of the test group, free of diagnosed pathologies, reveal that 33 out of 35 achieved moderately increased RBC and HGB levels; the same 33 also reported remarkable increases in energy levels and vitality; 28 revealed conspicuous increases of mental agility; none [of the subjects] informed about loss of energy or of vitality. Whereas, only one out of the 33 human adults taking placebos revealed increases in her RBC; 2 in the study increased HGB (hemoglobin); 4 appeared to have developed their mental agility; none has reported heightened energy or vitality levels."
Using the same product as mentioned above, this single- blind, placebo-controlled study, study #3, investigated the symptoms of chronic Iymphocitic leukemia in 35 human subjects. One dropped out of the study. The Director of the Clinical Research Division wrote: "The administration of NaturEarth capsules to 34 individuals afflicted with chronic Iymphocic leukemia, appears to have attenuated the symptoms of approximately 80% of the treated patients."
