SEES-2000, the herbal product for preventing and treating PCP is now available. The manufacturer, Spice West Co. was out of the product for 6 weeks, but today informed us that over 100,000 capsules have been filled. SEES-2000 will be arriving in health food stores the first week in Dec. For mail order, call Dr. Princetta at 404-873-6888. Also, any local source that sell LDM-100 or Clarkia-100 can order the product for you as all three are manufactured by the same company. No outbreaks of PCP have been reported in 10 PWA’s who have been the product for the past 3 months. Three PWA’s who were hospitalized with PCP and who never had used SEES-2000 tried it in the hospital for the first time along with antibiotic therapy. All 3 patients recovered so rapidly that they were discharged from the hospital in 5 days. As for adverse effects, one person developed a rash (an allergic reaction) after using, SEES-2000 for ten days and discontinued using it. The rash cleared up in about 5 days.
Last month I reported one case where a PWA using the new castor oil protocol had a decline in his WBC count when he added Septra to his protocol to prevent PCP. After dropping Septra and switching to SEES-2000 and continuing with the castor oil heat pad method 3 times a week, he told me his WBC count doubled in 3 weeks. He is also using Naltrexone, Clarkia-100 and SPV-30 and the whole lemon drink daily. After one month, he says he feels a million times better.
Some people have had difficulty obtaining Naltrexone in 3 mg capsules from their local pharmacy since it has to be compounded and encapsulated. One pharmacy that will fill your prescription through the mail is Bigelow Pharmacy in New York. There phone number is 212-533-2700. The cost is $24.00 for 30 capsules.
Oralmat, the immune modulator from Australia, was tested by 7 PWA’s in the past 30 days. All persons with fatigue reported feeling a natural burst of energy and a better sense of well being. Two persons said it got rid of a cold overnight and the flu in 24 hours. If you are interested in trying Oralmat, leave your phone number and I will place you in contact with sources. The last item of news is that the next issue of Positive Health News should be in the printers by the end of December. This message will be updated on Jan 1st. Thank you for calling.

Now, for updated news. In the past 30 days, over 7000 copies of Positive Health News, Report No 9 have been mailed out to our readers. With the new castor oil protocol announced in Report No 9, seven people have now reported significant increases in total white blood cell counts and increases in CD4’s as well. However, there was a setback in one case when a PWA added the drug, Septra, at his Physician’s suggestion, to prevent PCP. After 4 weeks on Septra, both WBC and CD4 counts dropped even though he was doing the new castor oil protocol which had helped produce very positive results in the previous 4 weeks. When he checked a medical reference book for the side effects of Septra, he found it listed along with Bactrim under a group of drugs known as Sulfonamides. The side effects listed for both drugs commonly used to prevent PCP includes both anemia and leukopenia which translates into low red and white blood cell counts. This means that Bactrim and Septra may depress your immune system when used daily as a prophylaxis to prevent PCP. An alternative to these drugs is SEES-2000, a special herbal formulation I wrote about in Report No 9. A new source for obtaining SEES-2000 is Dr. Philip Princetta of Atlanta, GA. He can be reached at 404-873-6888. Also, any local source that sells LDM-100 and/or Clarkia-100 can also obtain SEES-2000, since all three products are manufactured by the Spice West Co.
On another item, the Bastyr University will pay you to fill out a questionnaire if you are using nutritional or alternative therapies in the treatment of AIDS. For more information, call Cherie or Maggie at 800-475-0135. The Bastyr University, with a recent grant from the National Institute of Health is seeking to monitor 1500 PWA’s over an 18 month period as to the protocols they follow and the results they obtain with alternative therapies. I would encourage everyone to participate in this program. The number to call is 800-475-0135.
Finally, I have received a few samples of a herbal extract from Australia called Oralmat, which may be an immune modulator. It is an extract of the botanical - “Secale Cereale.” One local PWA who took it for 9 days said that this was the best he has felt in 10 years and credited the Oralmat with changing the way he felt. One source in Australia claimed that 80% of the opportunistic infections associated with AIDS are gone within 2 weeks of using this product. I have a few free samples available for trial. This message will be updated again on Dec. 1st. Thank you for calling.

The latest issue of Positive Health News has more promising and exciting news than all the other previous issues combined. I have reprinted a press release by Dr. Bernard Bihari MD of New York on the use of Naltrexone, a low cost, non-toxic drug, that Dr. Bihari reports has been 85% successful in stopping HIV progression. Of 103 of his patients who used Naltrexone for 18 months, there was an 85% reduction in opportunistic infections and the average CD4 count increased from 358 at the beginning to 368 at the end of the study. Dr. Bihari also reports that he has patients who have used Naltrexone for as long a 8 years with no decline in CD4 counts and no opportunistic infections. Three of his patients using Naltrexone are now PCR negative indicating that no existing scientific test can now locate the presence of the HIV virus in their body. The cost of this marvelous treatment is just $25.00 a month. More information on Naltrexone will be found in the latest issue of Positive Health News, Report No 9.
The latest issue also has an article on SPV-30 by David Stokes, also an article on the use of Colostrum to increase CD4 counts, SEES-2000, a herbal alternative to Bactrim or Septra to prevent or treat PCP and other forms of pneumonia that comes highly recommended from several sources and a total of four success reports in rapidly increasing White Blood Cell counts with the new updated castor oil protocol of August 1st. The new castor oil protocol has increased WBC counts whether taken orally or used topically with the heat pad. My book on How To Reverse Immune Dysfunction is now in its third edition and includes a copy of our latest newsletter. To order the book , send $19.95 plus $2.00 for priority mail to Keep Hope Alive, PO box 27041, West Allis, WI 53227. Subscriptions to the newsletter are $10 for 3 issues.

Last month, I reported on the case of a local PWA who followed a 4 part protocol that resulted in a weight gain of 27 lbs and the disappearance of chronic swollen lymph nodes and neuropathy. The 4 items were Clarkia-100, from the Spice West Co), which contains the 4 herbs of Dr. Hulda Clark, Detoxosode for Viruses, Nu-Life Formula and Beta Carotene.
Shortly after this announcement, I learned from this PWA, whose first name is Jim, that he had forgot to mention that he had taken 3 cold pressed castor oil capsules daily during this period of time. He was really was on a 5 part protocol, not 4 as first indicated. On August 21st, his doctor told him his CD4 has slightly increased and his white blood cell count had significantly increased. His CD4’s went from 17 to 23 while his white blood cell count increased from 2100 to 5700. After hearing of these results, Jim followed my suggestion and increased his castor oil capsules to 5 a day, which are taken on an empty stomach.
The next day I received a fax from Chris, from Cloverdale, IN, who had been doing castor oil packs with the heating pad daily for 8 months, since Dec., 1994. Initially, Chris had beautiful results with the castor oil applied daily with a heating pad. His CD4 count increased from 90 to 210 in 30 days and his WBC count increased from 2600 to 12,600. However, by March, 1995, both these numbers were slowly and steadily dropping. By July 15th, his CD4 count had dropped to 10 and his WBC count was 4,400.
I talked to Chris on July 15th and suggested two changes. First, reduce the number of hourly treatments from one a day to 3 per week and target the three main areas for one hour of treatment each - the liver, the thymus and the spleen. Second, I suspected that the castor oil in the wool flannel that was reheated daily might have become rancid and useless as an immune stimulant. I suggested washing out the flannel in baking soda and water after each treatment and then rinsing it thoroughly. Chris did this and also took the 4 items mentioned earlier used by Jim. In addition, he also used the whole lemon drink daily and the Jarrow Pak. After 4 weeks on this new protocol, his August 10th test results showed his CD4’s increased from 10 to 30 and his white blood count increased from 4,400 to 7,300. So far, the results are very encouraging.
At the present time, I am working on the next newsletter, Positive Health News, Report No. 9. I hope to have it in the printers by Sept. 15th and mailed out before the end of the month. This message will be updated again on Oct 1st. Thank you for calling.
Now, for updated news. In the past two months, a local PWA has followed a simple 4 part protocol that has resulted in a weight increase of 27 lbs and the disappearance of chronic swollen lymph nodes and neuropathy. This PWA has never taken AZT or any other nucleoside in the past 8 years he has been HIV+. His turnaround has been dramatic and sustained. The protocol he used is as follows: Clarkia-100 - 50 drops in water 3 times a day; Detoxosode for Viruses - 1 tsp. twice a day under the tongue; Nu-Life Formula - 2 Tablespoons in water twice a day and Beta-carotene - 50 mg 3 times a day with meals. He did not do the castor oil packs or the whole lemon/olive oil drink, although he did drink 2 glasses of lemonade each day. His CD4 count in May was 17 and his White Blood Cell count was 2100. His weight was 148. As of August 1st, his weight is 175 lbs. He is having lab tests done today, August 1st. His CD4 counts and WBC counts will be known on August 21, when he visits his Physician. His lab test results will be published in Positive Health News, Report No. 9, which will be out early in September.
The protocol for doing castor oil packs has been changed again. There is concern that the continuous reheating of flannel soaked in castor oil may cause the oil to form lipid peroxides and turn rancid. Rancid castor oil could have a negative effect on the body’s immune system. The new protocol is to wash the flannel completely after each treatment to remove the castor oil. This can be done by adding 1/4 cup of baking soda to 2 quarts of warm water. After removing the old castor oil, rinse the flannel out in warm water before reusing it. After the first 4 weeks, the treatment should be one a week over the three target areas - the liver, thymus and spleen. If you need more information, written instructions are available by writing to us. This message will updated again on September 1st.
In June, I introduced an updated protocol for using castor oil packs which is as follows. Three days a week over the Thymus gland, 2 days a week over the spleen area and 2 days a week over the liver area. The spleen is an important area because it filters and removes defective T cells from the blood. It is also the location where plasma cells produce antibodies. Some persons HIV+ have had to have their spleen removed because of infection or inflammation. The spleen, along with the bonemarrow and lymphatic system are the primary sites of HIV activity in the body. It makes sense to target the spleen when doing castor oil packs. The spleen is located at the bottom of your left rib cage, just below your left armpit. The thymus is just above your heart on the upper part of your chest and the liver is just below your right rib cage.
On the Whole lemon/olive oil drink, more amazing reports are coming in. So far, well over 12 PWAs have reported a complete reduction in swollen lymph nodes, usually in 5 to 7 days. Persons underweight are gaining 1 to 2 lbs per week. Three persons overweight have reported weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs per week. The lemon/olive oil drink apparently moves the body towards balance or homeostasis. Increases in energy and body temperature are also being reported. The full range of benefits from this drink have yet to be discovered. One person from MA with Neuropathy said it was all but gone after using the drink for two weeks. He also took lecithin with the drink. One person reported a reduction in lymph nodes by just drinking lemonade.
On June 30th, Dr. Charles Hallmark of Sulfur, OK told me that 6 HIV+ clients of his who used Hobon Detoxosode for Viruses all reported increases in their CD4 counts in the second month of use. This low cost product contains IL2 and results of our study was discussed in PHN No. 7. More information on for Viruses also is found in my book How To Reverse Immune Dysfunction. On T cells, I just received a published report on 4 studies that conclusively proves that regular daily exercise increases T cell counts in PWA’s. This message will be updated again on Aug 1st. Thank you for calling. Enjoy the summer.
By now, most of you should have received a copy of our last newsletter, Positive Health News, Report No. 8, which described 10 additional reports of very beneficial results of the new combination therapy which combines the daily use of the whole lemon/olive oil drink with castor oil packs. About 2 weeks ago after the last newsletter was in print, I received a call from Phil, a PWA from Fairmount, IN. He shared with me the results he had using the whole lemon/olive oil drink along with castor oil packs done alternately over the thymus gland and the liver area on a daily basis.
When he started on this new combination protocol, he said he had very large inflamed lymph nodes and a CD4 count of 237. Phil stopped taking DDI and all other drugs early in April and immediately started doing the daily castor oil packs and the whole lemon drink. He reports his CD4 count increased to 441 in 6 weeks. Additional benefits he noticed is that he gained 11 pounds and that his swollen lymph nodes completely disappeared. His energy level and appetite have substantially improved also. Phil faxed us his last lab results and gave us permission to release his phone number which is 317-948-4268.
Yesterday I received a letter from a PWA from Ft. Myers, FL, who had just recovered from a bout with PCP when a friend lent him a copy of our latest book - How To Reverse Immune Dysfunction. He immediately started on the diet and took a number of dietary supplements. On March 12th, with a weight of 152 pounds, he started on the whole lemon/olive drink which he did faithfully each day.. In his letter, he stated as of May 20th that his weight increased from 173 pounds, a 21 pound gain in just 9 weeks. He said his doctor was shocked when he seen him and was amazed at how much weight he gained and how good he looked. He had no lab test results to report and had not even used the castor oil packs. He said he was starting the castor oil packs in another week.
While both of these results are electrifying, I also talked to one PWA who had followed this combination protocol and said he had a slight decrease in his CD4’s. However, there were two things he did differently. One - he did not do the castor oil packs over the thymus gland and only did it over the liver area. Second - he was a long term user of AZT - over 3 years. It is possible that the toxic effects of the AZT canceled the benefits of the castor oil packs and the whole lemon drink. Another possibility is that castor oil packs done over the Thymus gland may be more beneficial in stimulating increases in T cell counts than when done over the liver area. However, since the liver and the spleen are also very important areas, I am suggesting the following protocol for using castor oil packs. It is 3 days a week over the thymus gland, 1 day over the spleen and 3 days over the liver. The location are: for the Thymus is the upper part of the chest - just above the heart; for the spleen, the lower bottom of the left rib cage - directly under the left armpit. The liver is located to the right of the naval under your right rib cage. This concludes our message for this month.

Within the past 30 days, I have talked to 3 persons who used castor oil packs and reported a decrease in their CD4 counts. These three cases are the only failures I am aware of out of 15 persons I have contacted. As a result of my inquiries, I became aware that no one who has used cold pressed castor oil has reported a decrease in their CD4 counts. So far, there has been 100% success in increasing T cell counts when cold pressed castor oil is used according to the published instructions. I was told by one distributor that some manufacturers use heat to extract more oil from the castor bean. Heat may damage the oil by inducing lipid peroxidation. In all 3 cases where CD4 counts dropped, the brand used was not labeled “cold pressed” and was likely damaged by heat in the manufacturing process.
Because of this new development, I have published a consumers alert in the latest issue of Positive Health News warning people not to buy or use any brand of castor oil unless it is labeled “cold pressed.” If you buy just any brand of castor oil, you are rolling the dice - it might be cold pressed or it might not be. Your time is too valuable to waste on a possibly ineffective product. Cold pressed castor oil is sold in many health food stores. You can also order through the mail by calling The Heritage Store at 804-428-4941 or 800-862-2923. The Heritage Store also has available heating pads and wool or cotton flannel.
If need to order a copy of the new book - How To Reverse Immune Dysfunction. The price is $19.95 a copy and this includes book rate postage. Add $2.00 extra for priority mail.
