Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 http://www.awakennutrition.com/more.html How It Works PCA-Rx operates under the concept of peptide clathration. In simplest terms, this living product is a liquid mixture of specially-developed bacteria and other living microscopic entities seeking out and hunting down contaminants in the body. In essence, PCA-Rx focuses on increasing the level of positive microbe consciousness and intentions within a body saturated with toxins. PCA-Rx is the first-ever oral peptide clathration formula and the most effective chelating substance discovered so far. (See What Is Chelation? and What Is Clathration? above for related information.) Toxin Attachment. It is PCA-Rx's specifically-sequenced peptides that form the unique toxin-surrounding matrix structure that is unique to the clathration process. (Peptides link together to form proteins, the primary components of the protoplasm of all cells in the body.) First, PCA-Rx separates the toxin from its receptor on the host cell and replaces it with a molecule of its own (preventing other toxins from attaching to the cell), leaving the toxin in a free-floating state. Multiple receptor sites on the peptide matrix then attach to the toxin with three types of strong irreversible bonds (ionic, covalent, and hydrogen), literally wrapping around it to prevent any additional contact with tissues or organs as it is eliminated from the body. Other chelating substances, by contrast, can only bind to a toxin with a single reversible ionic bond at one receptor site as it attempts to tow it out of the system, leaving it free to interact with anything it comes into contact with while in transit. PCA-Rx targets all toxic and unnatural elements in the blood, lymph and spinal fluid, removing anything that is not part of normal cell structure and integrity. Note that PCA-Rx will not attach to and remove any of the body's beneficial minerals because those belonging in the body are solidly bound and shielded by their own natural enzymes. Heavy metals and toxins have no natural enzymes to protect them, so PCA-Rx can effectively target all non-complex, loosely-bound metals and toxins for removal. However, if there is too much of a natural mineral in the body (as with calcium plaque deposits on arterial walls), PCA-Rx will attach to it as well. Nutrient Absorption in Cells. PCA-Rx's nutrients (part of Maxam's SMARTT Nutrients technology) are cell site specific, meaning that their delivery to contaminated cells only occurs when the proper cells are found. Because PCA-Rx is a natural colloid and its nutrient particle sizes are so concentrated and small (formulated in nanometers as opposed to milligrams or micrograms), it simulates natural bodily fluids and the body recognizes it as a nutrient - ensuring efficient absorption. These minute particles also give the water portion of the solution a lower surface tension (due to the hydrogen bond angles being increased to 180 degrees, forming linear water and thus making the water " wetter " ), thereby enabling more efficient absorption through the mucous membranes of the mouth. Also, each nutrient particle carries a negative surface charge while cell walls have a positive charge, so absorption from the bloodstream into the cell occurs electrokinetically - that is, the nutrients are literally pulled directly into the cell under the " opposites attract " principle. This is a much more efficient method than osmosis (absorption through cell membranes), where only 50% is the maximum level achieved. More On the Clathration Process. Once absorbed, PCA-Rx easily gains access to the mitochondria of the cell (cell structures containing genetic material and enzymes for cell metabolism), where it gets to the heart of its housecleaning project. There, its tiny components bind to cell receptor sites with greater effectiveness than the heavy metals and/or other toxins already there, thereby releasing them from the receptors. A companion molecule then clathrates (surrounds and engulfs) the toxin, holding onto it until being eliminated from the body through the stool, urine, skin, and breath. PCA-Rx bonds to contaminants with ionic, covalent and hydrogen bonds as compared to DMPS (the most commonly used chelating agent in the past), which utilizes only a single ionic bond. The strength of having three types of bonds at multiple cell receptor sites makes PCA-Rx so effective against heavy metals as well as other bodily toxins. Heavy Metal Clathration Specifics. The heavy metals clathrated by PCA-Rx include lead, thallium, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and mercury. They are clathrated in that same order based on their descending valences. (Valence is a number representing the ability of an element to react or combine with another, as measured by the number of bonds to other atoms that one atom of the given element forms in chemical reactions.) This order of clathration is important to know because, for example, if a person's body is contaminated with lead or another higher-valence heavy metal, the mercury readings in their urine will not drop until the metals with higher valences are clathrated first. Autism Treatment. Autism is a perplexing disorder for which there is no standard and consistently-accepted treatment. Many autistic children are treated with traditionally-used chelation substances (like DMSA and DMPS) to counteract the abnormal effects of the disorder when heavy metal toxicity is suspected as a cause. However, PCA-Rx's clathrating qualities have been found to work as well or even better against symptoms of autism in kids, without the side effects. PCA-Rx has also shown to be effective against symptoms of other EIs - such as angina, Crohn's disease, Epstein-Barr virus, fibromyalgia and Parkinson's disease, to name a few - also thought to be caused by toxic exposure. It is thought that childhood autism could be triggered by vaccinations that young kids receive for measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) and, to a lesser degree, diphtheria (DPT). Specifically, it is thought that the measles component of the MMR vaccination and the pertussis (whooping cough) component of the DPT shot may be to blame. Most autistic children are normal and functioning well up until the time they receive their MMR and DPT vaccinations, which have been found to leave autism-triggering toxic residues in the body. PCA-Rx has proven to be a safe and effective weapon for finding and removing - through clathration - some of these harmful residues from the bodies of young autism sufferers. PCA-Rx's additional ability to not remove any of the body's natural minerals also results in an absence of the physiologically-stressful side effects common to other chelating drugs.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 In the context of this thread, candida in the bowel is a symptom of bowel dysbiosis. Candida in the blood is a symptom of underactive immune response. I'm a member of a couple of candida groups, one of which is the candidiasis... for some real information from people who are DOING it rather than SPECULATING on candida therapy, I'd go there. I must point out that candida is opportunistic, and in the bowel is normally controlled by the correct bowel flora, which produces the low pH required to curtail the proliferation of bad bacteria, viruses, and candida. So, bowel dysbiosis, or fluorish of the wrong bowel bacteria, causes less acid conditions, which allows a rise in candida populations. People with bowel candida are guaranteed to have bowel dysbiosis, and people who have bowel dysbiosis usually have candida. Health professionals assume they do unless proven otherwise. This is far beyond a yeast infection or oral thrush, and of course it can go systemic and eventually kill a person if its not treated. As people are finding out on the candidiasis group, a program of antifungals is useful for systemic candida. For bowel candida, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, ozone therapy, olive leaf extract, have all been used to kill it and many bacteria as well. The trick with bowel candida however is to rectify the bowel dysbiosis at the same time, with probiotics and prebiotics to establish a decent culture. Probiotics only work while a person is taking them so you'll want to make sure your correct culture is well-established on the bowel wall by feeding it. This important step is usually missed completely by professionals who recommend probiotics. Usually it is missed because FOS, native inulin, and other prebiotic carbohydrates, are known to feed several species of bacteria and some have sugars in them, which feeds yeast. So although you get results it takes awhile, and some people experience gas, bloating and flatulence problems. My solution was to make available an inulin that has had the FOS and sugar removed; this makes it a very specific feed for only the correct bowel bacteria - bifidobacteria - and much less, lactobacilli. To address underactive immune response, the immune system, whether underactive, overactive in the case of inflammation and allergies, autoimmune in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, or all over the place, uncontrolled, as in lupus and fibromyalgia, can all be restored to normal. Macrophages exhibit more aggression to candida albicans for example, when they have glyconutrients. Glyconutrients are used to build properly formed glycoprotein receptor sites on the cells. This is a messaging system which serves as the control for cellular function including immune response and even growth and repair. When a person has been ill, toxic, or traumatized, the ability to convert these substances in very small amounts is impaired, but they can be given as a supplement in the correct form or, as I mentioned a couple of months ago, can be obtained naturally in some foods. In natural foods these indigestible sugars are often available mainly as polysaccharide chains, when we really need to break them into monosaccharides for use on the cells. So candida is a symptom of bowel dysbiosis, and also if systemic, of a reduced immune response, and both scenarios can be addressed with foods or purified foods.
