The Stem Cell

Scientists have long sought the hematopoietic stem cell, the precursor cell that continuously replenishes the body's entire panoply of blood cells, both red and white. Stem cells represent a small portion of all bone marrow cells (perhaps one in 2,000), and they are even rarer in the bloodstream. In the mouse, implanting just a few purified stem cells can completely restore an immune system that has been experimentally destroyed.

Although the human stem cell has yet to be isolated and purified, scientists have discovered that progenitor cells capable of giving rise to an array of blood cells (if not of actually reproducing themselves) carry the cell surface marker CD34. These cells can be sorted out from marrow and blood with monoclonal antibodies that recognize CD34. In experimental programs, CD34 cells are being tested as long-lived vehicles for gene therapy and as an alternative to bone marrow transplants.

Immunoregulation Research

Research into the delicate and complex checks and balances that regulate the immune response is increasing knowledge of normal and abnormal immune functions. Someday it may be possible to treat diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus by suppressing parts of the immune system that are overactive and stimulating those that are underactive. Blocking a mechanism such as co-stimulation, by paralyzing T cell responses, may make it possible to prevent graft rejection or to sideline autoimmune diseases, while boosting co-stimulation might help the body rid itself of cells that are infected or cancerous.

Nutritional Support

Our Immune Support Products
Supplement Today, our immune system is under a lot of pressure from stress, environmental pollution, poor eating habits and lack of sleep and exercise. There are many ways to protect ourselves and our immune system from seasonal challenges. One of those ways is through nutrition. Biotics Research offers many products that will help support our immune system from the stresses of modern life and changing seasons.
Bio-AE-Mulsion Forte
Supplement
Bio-AE-Mulsion Forte is a Vitamin A product in a true emulsified form where one (1) drop contains 12,500 I.U. of Vitamin A
This product is emulsified mechanically to break the Vitamin A liquid down into very tiny droplets about 1 micron in size.

What this means is that you can absorb large amounts of this Vitamin without the toxic side effects of regular Vitamin A such as liver toxicity. This is because this product by passes the liver and its circulation and is absorbed directly into the lymphatic system thereby preventing any toxic side effects.

Therefore, we use Bio-AE-Mulsion Forte in persons with immune problems, such as viral infections, flu, colds, environmental allergies, bacterial infection, acne, ringing in the ears, and as a vaginal douche for candida and vaginitis.

If someone is coming down with a cold or flu and they take eight to ten drops, three times a day for a couple of days, in most cases they'll never become symptomatic. Bio-AE-Mulsion Forte will, in most cases, knock the cold or flu right out. This is a high level of vitamin A. We are talking about a hundred thousand units, three times a day. Even though this is a very high dose, with most adults, you will not cause liver or kidney damage, not while supplementing for a short period of time

The other condition that this product is extremely useful is for ringing in the ears, or tinnitus, in cases where low and high blood pressure have been ruled out as the causative factor.

If prescribed as a douche use - 10 drops in one cup of pure water (body temperature) along with 1/2 teaspoon of Biodophilus-FOS and 30 drops of Liquid Iodine.
Contraindications: - FOR ADULTS ONLY. This product should not be used during pregnancy, with children, or with liver or kidney disease. Use only with close supervision by a doctor.
Bio-C Plus 1000
Supplement
Bio-C-Plus 1000 is 1000 milligrams of mixed ascorbates (vitamin C) per tablet. Because the product contains mixed ascorbates, it is less likely to cause digestive distress.
This is a product that we use when we want a mixed ascorbate tablet that contains a higher level of vitamin C that is buffered. This is a mixed ascorbate product that can be used at high levels without causing bowel distress for most people.

Use with inflammation, colds, flu, fever, fatigue, adrenal stress, healing and as a long-term vitamin C supplement.
Bio-D-Mulsion Forte
Supplement
Bio-D-Mulsion Forte is a natural vitamin D3 (2000 I.U. per drop) in an emulsified liquid form. It is a synergist to calcium and magnesium. We have found it to be effective with diastolic hypotension (low diastolic blood pressure, probably due to a parathyroid dysfunction), bone healing, and osteoporosis.
Generally, we suggest 4000IU to 6000IU per day for patients who avoid the sun, who are house bound, or who have fibroid tumors and/or endometriosis or generalized aches & pains.

Bio-D-Mulsion is also effective in skin rashes, or what's called "the itch" in the medical journals. Cortical creams are not always effective on the itchy rashes that the dermatologist can't always find a reason for. Dissolve ten drops of the Bio-D-Mulsion in an ounce of distilled water. Put it on a cotton ball and apply it right onto the rash three or four times a day. Often this will work very nicely to resolve the rash.

When applied topically, Bio-D-Mulsion is also effective in some cases of psoriasis. Do not dilute it in these cases but apply full strength.

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCIES
In a recent interview with Dr. Michael Holick, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Biophysics at Boston University Medical Center, I received a startling bit of information (startling to me because I'd never heard it before, despite constantly interviewing people about nutrition). Dr. Holick mentioned that illnesses that seem to be affecting so many people these days, namely chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and myositis (muscle pain), could be osteomalacia in disguise, a bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. (In children, osteomalacia is called rickets.) The relevant interview notes read:

"Vitamin D deficiency increases your risk of heart disease, juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and prostate, breast, and colon cancer. It will precipitate and exacerbate osteoporosis, and more important, causes osteomalacia, which masquerades as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or myositis (muscle pain).

Osteomalacia is a mineralization defect of bone, and causes bone pain, and also muscle pain and weakness. Forty to sixty percent of patients with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or myocitis are suffering from vitamin D deficiency. Have your blood level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D measured. [if it's too low] You need to be treated with vitamin D for three to six months."

In our interview, Holick also explained that it's very difficult to get enough vitamin D from diet and that vitamin D deficiency is more and more widespread in our society due to our sunphobia. The best way to prevent deficiency, he says, is to spend a moderate amount of time in the sun on a regular basis, without sunscreen, which essentially stops vitamin D synthesis. The details, along with the research studies to support his statement can be found in his book, The UV Advantage, co-written with Mark Jenkins. In this book, Dr. Holick also gives details as to how much time to spend sunning oneself every week, depending on one's skin type, the latitude where one lives, and the time of day and time of year. We're talking minutes here, not hours, but those minutes are apparently very important for health.
Contraindications: - Children should not take Vitamin D, nor should it be taken without calcium.
Bio-FCTS
Supplement
Bio-FCTS is used with viri (it helps prevent the virus from duplicating), diabetes, capillary fragility, tinnitus, vascular headaches, hemorrhoids and macular degeneration.
Flavonoids strengthen cell walls, which can be helpful against viruses, disrupting their ability to reproduce. With viruses also consider these products: Bio-Immunozyme Forte, Livotrit Plus, Mixed EFA-s, Dismuzyme Plus Granules, IAG, and UltraVir-X.

Each capsule of Bio-FCTS contains 400 mg of sprouted Buckwheat Culture, 75 mg of vitamin C (beet source), 100 mg of quercitin, 10 mg of citrus bioflavonoids, 25 mg of Green Tea Extract, 10 mg of Neonatal Thymus, 5 mg of Neonatal Spleen in a base of Oorganik-15, SOD and catalase.
Bio-Immunozyme Forte
Supplement
Bio-Immunozyme Forte is a broad-spectrum product containing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, as well as neonatal bovine gland and organ components known to support immune function.
It's in a base of superoxide dismutase, catalase, Echinacea, methyl-donors, OOrganik15 and chlorophyll. It's probably one of the top four sellers that Biotics Research produces and it works wonderfully. I think one of the reasons that many doctors buy it is that it works so well in low doses for the chronically ill patient. With many immune products that are available in the marketplace, you have to give patients 10, 15, 20 capsules a day to get any results. In the chronic phase with Bio-Immunozyme Forte, one tablet, three times a day is generally sufficient.

There is a doctor in Lansing, Michigan who is one of the top users of this product. With chronic immune problems, he starts patients off at three a day for a month, then two a day the following month, then one a day for the rest of their life. He gets excellent results using the product in this manner.

Hepatitis B and hepatitis C have become a serious problem in the U. S. The basis of support for this problem is to use Bio-Immunozyme Forte, two tablets, two or three times a day along with Cytozyme-THY, which is neonatal thymus, at four tablets three times a day. The patient must also take Livotrit-Plus beginning at one tablet, three times a day and gradually increase to a maximum of six tablets per day. Beta-TCP should be used at two tablets three times a day anytime Livotrit-Plus is used. The Beta-TCP will open the bile tract and insure the virus and other toxins maintained in the liver are given a route out of the body. BioProtect is your antioxidant at three capsules a day. Take Dismuzyme Granules at one teaspoon three times a day, and Cytozyme-LV, the neonatal liver, at two tablets three times a day. The 21st Century Homeopathic for Lymphatic Drainage and Virus should also be used.

I have been told that there are physicians who can show before and after blood chemistries on Hepatitis B and C where they have taken liver enzyme blood chemistries from the 500-600 pathological range down to below 100 in less than six months. Some of these people were scheduled for liver transplants. They had gone through the interferon therapy with no success, and their next option was a liver transplant.

Cytozyme-SP (Spleen)
Supplement
Cytozyme-SP (Spleen) is a source of neonatal bovine spleen and is used with free radical problems, spleen dysfunction, immune insufficiency, increased or decreased red blood values and increased or decreased serum iron.
Cytozyme-THY (Thymus)
Supplement
Cytozyme-THY is a source of neonatal (1 to 3 day old) bovine thymus tissue.
Cytozyme-THY is used with viral or bacterial infections, immune insufficiency, low gamma globulin, sensitivity to milk products, croup, inflammation, thyroid hyperfunction, healing crises, lymph edema, and myasthenia gravis.

With acute infections and with Hepatitis A, B, or C, the dose can be increased to four tablets, three times a day.

With low gamma globulin, use Cytozyme-THY with raw sesame oil, about a teaspoon a day. I would certainly also consider using 90 mg of the emulsified CoQ 10 (three tablets of the CoQ-Zyme 30).
Contraindications: - Contraindicated in those with kidney disease.
Dismuzyme Granules W/ Catalase
Supplement
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a very potent antioxidant, free radical scavenging enzyme produced in our bodies.
There are only 2 companies that produce pharmaceutical grade SOD that is used in medical research. One is Sigma Chemical Co and the other is Biotics Research Corp. You use Dismuzyme in any condition where there is free-radical pathology, viral or bacterial infection, or rheumatoid arthritis; in other words, anywhere you encounter a high level of systemic inflammation, such as with Hepatitis, CMV, and Epstein Barr viruses.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the only family of enzymes that specifically inactivate free radicals, namely, the superoxide radical. Excessive superoxide production, as well as excessive amounts of other oxidants, is linked to chronic, oxidative stress.

Mitochondrial SOD requires manganese as an essential cofactor, while the cytoplasmic form of SOD requires both copper and zinc. Manganese SOD and copper- zinc SOD activities in lymphocytes and neutrophils were not inducible by cytokines in elderly subjects, although these activities were readily inducible in nonaged subjects. These results suggested an age-related alteration in the regulation of these defensive enzymes. Erythrocyte copper-zinc SOD activity tends to reflect copper status, and this has been used in laboratory assessment. In addition, supplementation with superoxide dismutase of Biotics Research Corporation's vegetable culture may increase erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity in vivo.
HistoPlex
Supplement
Histo-Plex is a natural anti-histamine designed especially for autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, made from a proprietary blend of herbs, and Dimethylglycine, all of which reduce histamine.
This producat is designed for long-term use to reduce viral load. Internal viruses in the G.I. tract may be cross-reacting with the external environment so that the body has trouble recognizing proteins or protein like compounds versus food. Reducing the viral load minimizes this. We also use Ultra-Virex as an additional product to accomplish this.

With auto-immune conditions it is important to enhance only the anti-body aspect of immunity without exciting T-cells or inflammation.

People with many allergies are commonly deficient in trace minerals, or low on stomach acid so that they are not taken in. This situation, if it exists, may also have to be handled.
HistoPlex AB
Supplement
HistoPlex-AB - supplies a proprietary blend of herbal extracts shown to possess immunomodulating properties.
It contains a combination of botanicals with a wide range of physiologic functions. These adaptogens help to normalize immune response and are therefore beneficial in reducing allergic response.

In traditional botanical medicine, products with various applications that function to support general physiologic functions are referred to as adaptogens. These adaptogens help to normalize immune response and are therefore beneficial in reducing allergic response.
IAG
Supplement
IAG contains a chemical called arabinogalactan, and is derived from the Western Larch Tree. This product is highly soluble in water and is virtually tasteless.
Studies have reported that the immune-boosting properties of larch extract can help fight symptoms of the common cold and influenza. Researchers suggest that this is probably due to the supplement ability to increase the rate at which the body seeks out and destroys viral invaders. What is more, studies indicate that larch extract has promise in the fight against recurrent immune problems like chronic fatigue and viral hepatitis.

Preliminary studies support the claim that it may have value as a complimentary therapy for children with inner ear infections in children. Scientists have discovered that the benefits of larch extract may play a supportive role in the treatment of cancer.

There is evidence that larch extract can help fight cancers that are triggered by lowered activity of natural killer, or NK, cells. By enhancing the growth of these cells, larch extract may be involved in suppressing cancers that develop when left unchecked by NK cells. A recent study also found that larch extract may be instrumental in preventing the spread of existing cancerous cells to other organs.

In addition to its disease fighting properties, larch extract also serves as an excellent source of fiber, thereby potentially improving colon health. Additionally, it has been shown to increase the growth of healthy bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This is good news, researchers say, for patients who are suffering from complications associated with the use of prescribed antibiotics.
Immuno-gG
Supplement
Two capsules of Immuno-gG contains 240 mg of Immunoglobulin G (from bovine colostrum), 120 mg of lysine and 60 mg of arginine.
Product was formulated to provide immune support for viral conditions, immune compromise in the small intestine (leaky gut) and other immune problems. Lactoferrin (a component of colostrum) is also helpful with binding free iron in the gut (use with high serum iron). With gastric immune problems, product should be considered with IAG and IPS. With blood sugar related insomnia, take right before bed with Beta-TCP and Bio-Glycozyme Forte.
Contraindications: - This product should be avoided by those with milk allergies.
Liquid Iodine Forte
Supplement
Liquid Iodine Forte supplies 150 mcg of potassium iodide per drop.
Thyroxine (T4), the thyroid hormone produced in the thyroid, carries four molecules of iodine. When thyroxin is low, you can be pretty well assured you need iodine; however, a normal thyroxine level does not you do not need iodine. In a general sense, if the you have indications of primary or secondary thyroid hypofunction, the need for iodine is almost certain.

Low iodine is one of the problems we have with telling people not to salt their food. The iodine added to table salt is probably their major source of dietary iodine.

Another good way for determining iodine need is to use the iodine skin test. Place a small amount of Liquid Iodine on your forearm. If the area where the skin is stained disappears in less than 24 hours, the need for iodine is almost certain. This indicates the system is absorbing the iodine quickly because there is a need.

Another area we look at is the correlation of iodine need to increased LDL cholesterol. We looked at over 500 patients who had the subjective and biochemical indicators for iodine need, and in the vast majority of these cases, the LDL cholesterol was above 130, which is too high. Iodine deficiency is rampant in the United States of America.

For a breast cyst: apply the Liquid Iodine with a cotton swab once daily just before bedtime onto the skin directly overlying the cyst.

For an ovarian cyst: place 15 - 20 drops of Liquid Iodine in a pint of warm distilled water and use as a vaginal douche 3 times daily for 3 weeks.
Contraindications: - Patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's Disease) should NEVER consume iodine containing products.
UltraVir-X
UltraVir-X
UltraVir-X contains vitamin C, vitamin A, and natural mixed carotenoids, copper and zinc in a proprietary mixture of Maitake mushroom, wheat grass, rutin and several herbs with known antiviral properties.
UltraVir-X is extremely effective with chronic, subacute viral infections. The inclusion of UltraVir-X into treatment programs for Hepatitis A, B and C has made a significant difference in our resolution rates.
Contraindications: - This product should not be used by pregnant or lactating women.
Whey Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Isolate
Whey Protein Isolate is a powdered nutrition formula designed to promote peak wellness by optimizing proper protein, fats, carbs, and micronutrients - with no toxic artificial sweeteners or flavors.
Here are just some of the many ways Whey Protein Isolate is superior to any other whey product on the market:

Whey Protein Isolate contains:
  • Immunoglobulins (IgG)
  • Lactoferrin
  • Beta-Lactoglobulin
  • Alpha-Lactalbumin
  • Glycomacropeptide
  • Bovine Serum Albumin
These have been shown in studies to improve gastrointestinal function & immune system strength. All other whey proteins currently on the market are high heat processed which destroys their natural essential biological activity.

Unlike many proteins shakes that use soy, Whey Protein Isolate uses whey protein - nature's richest source of biologically active protein. Soy protein is low in the amino acid methionine, but whey protein contains all the amino acids your body needs in the best balance yet found in any food.

The organic and low heat processed whey protein comes strictly from herds that graze on pesticide-free, chemical-free natural grass pastures.

These are not from factory farms that feed the cows grains, which transforms healthy milk proteins into allergens and carcinogens begins with modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass. (Not USDA Certified Organic).

When mixed in a shaker or mini blender, Whey Protein Isolate dissolves easily in water or other liquids with no clumping and no grainy taste.

Whey Protein Isolate contains high protein and very little carbohydrates, making it ideal for those of you watching your carbs.

The milking cows are never subject to any chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms, hyper-immunizations or injected pathogens. Nor are they given bovine growth hormone or any other hormones - NO rBST or rBGH.
Zn-Zyme Forte (Zinc)
Zn-Zyme Forte (Zinc)
Zn-Zyme is a water-soluble source of the mineral zinc at 25 mg per tablet.
We generally suggest zinc with immune insufficiency, loss of sense of taste or smell, for cuts that heal slowly, acne along with vitamin A and thymus, reduced sex drive, prostate hypertrophy (it is a component of Palmetto Plus), chronic yeast infections, macular degeneration (it is a component of eye), hair loss, premature graying of the hair, and white spots on the finger nails.

Recently, severe zinc deficiencies have been implicated in the eating disorders of bulimia and anorexia. Diets high in refined foods creates zinc deficiencies.

Zinc is an essential mineral which is found in nearly every type of cell. It is known to stimulate the activity of approximately 100 different enzymes and subsequent biochemical reactions, including apoptosis, hormone release, and nerve impulse transmission. Zinc's role in healthy immune function has long been recognized, since it is crucial for the activation of T-lymphocytes. Zinc additionally supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is needed for wound healing and DNA synthesis. While found in a wide variety of foods, albeit in very small amounts, most natural zinc in the Standard American Diet (SAD) comes from red meat and dark poultry meat consumption. Therefore, diets lacking in these meat sources may subject the individuals to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency tends to be relatively common in elderly or diabetic individuals. Zinc deficiency has also been associated with hypochlorhydria (lack of hydrochloric acid production), excessive copper intake, excessive alcohol intake, and with digestive malfunction. Phytates, compounds found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes, and other vegetable products, can inhibit zinc absorption and for this reason, vegetarians may require 50% more zinc than non-vegetarians. Known signs of zinc deficiency include poor wound healing, hair loss, premature graying of hair, diarrhea, loss of appetite, taste abnormalities, skin rashes, corneal clouding, altered libido or mood, and susceptibly to frequent infections due to impaired immune function. Zinc loss may be precipitated by certain antibiotics, specifically tetracycline and quinolones, anticonvulsant drugs, and diuretic use.
Contraindications: - Do not exceed 50 mg per day if pregnant. Take four or more hours away from Copper.
