Two weeks ago, I decided to send the remaining Lipid-bound Sulfur, that I had in the office, to a couple of doctors who have worked with us over the years and who have a deep appreciation for Dr. Revici’s work. We were about to close the office because of the coronavirus and I wanted the Lipid-bound Sulfur in the hands of doctors who could give to people who’s symptoms were escalating from the coronavirus. My thinking was this, the Lipid-bound Sulfur can oxidize the leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are as Dr. Revici named them conjugated trienic fatty acids, which means they’re extremely powerful inflammatory fatty acids. In fact, so powerful that Dr. Revici called them pathologic because they cause irreversible damage. Other inflammatory fatty acids cause damage, changes that are all reversible. Lipid-bound Sulfur will actually oxidize and therefore stop, disable leukotrienes. My thinking is that leukotrienes are escalating uncontrollably in someone who's symptoms from the virus are uncontrollable and can lead to death.  

Well, one of these doctors, Michael, a few days after he received the Lipid-bound Sulfur, he actually used it himself. Not because he had corona but because he was awakened at midnight, with very severe pain, in his left eye and he decided to try it. He got immediate relief. Yes, he had to take another dose but he got a full night’s sleep and used another dose the next day for a hint of symptoms but has had none since. The same mechanism I believe was at play with the postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles), that Michael had. Postherpetic neuralgia, that simply means he has pain, nerve pain in the places where he previously had herpes, in his case Herpes Zoster. Now it turns out, you see in the news, that it’s been recognized that floods, storms of cytokines are the cause of the lung demise with the coronavirus. And then connection, leukotrienes actually regulate the production and the release of cytokines, so you have to go to the source. We now have the Lipid-bound Sulfur available to doctors who would like to use this for the coronavirus. I will stand by doctors and instruct them and guide them through its use. I’m particularly keen on making the Lipid-bound Sulfur available, to those who are themselves exposed to the virus so they can use if for their family, themselves, friends, co-workers as well as patients if the situation allows. 

This precedent for this, Dr. Revici used the Lipid-bound Sulfur to treat people who stopped smoking, in order to abate their symptoms and he used it in alcohol withdrawal for the same purpose. In both of those situations its the leukotrienes that are causing the symptoms. He used Lipid-bound Selenium in drug withdrawal, in order to oxidize the leukotrienes. In withdrawal from smoking, from alcohol, from drugs there is a tremendous amount of leukotrienes, catabolic fatty acids, that have risen in the body in response to the anabolic smoke or alcohol or drugs and once the smoking, alcohol or drugs stop at that point they have to...There’s all these leukotrienes that need to be neutralized, in order to control the symptoms and heal. So, if anyone is interested in getting the Lipid-bound Sulfur, please contact Felista. Well, she’s not at the office but contact Felista at [email protected] or call 802-365-9213 and take care.  

In our our last recording on YouTube we went into how the pH of the urine is the same as the pH of the tissue, use the pH of the urine to see if the tissues are acid or alkaline because they’re going to be either one or the other, in pain and then you treat accordingly. So, we looked at two cases of acid urine, they had different causes, one from lactic acid from anaerobic metabolism and one from excess fatty acid activity. They were treated respectively with negative bivalent sulfur, MGS and fatty alcohols, Flame Quell. There we were using urine pH to treat pain but we were not treating their respective diseases or diagnosis. The woman with the fatty acid urine, osteoarthritis, yes the fatty alcohols will reduce the inflammation and it certainly corrected, actually got rid of the pain, gets rid of the pain as it still does. But, it doesn’t reduce the osteoarthritis aggressively enough or sufficiently enough. For that, we want to add Lipid-bound Sulfur. The advantage of the Lipid-bound Sulfur is the sulfur will go exactly where the inflammation, the lesions are. We’ve used this many a time for people who with osteoarthritis that’s affecting this joint and that joint, particularly in the hands it works great. Again, it goes to the lesion. To determine the appropriate lipid for the man with the metastatic cancer, we looked at a Health Equations Blood Test Evaluation. The reason we looked at that is because it has two indices, one index shows the activity of fatty acids and the other index shows the activity of anti-fatty acids. Now anti-fatty acids includes, primarily, cholesterol but there is other anti-fatty acids too, some of the hormones, the steroids in our body and some of their metabolites as well as sterols in the diet. So, we want to look at the activity of these two sets of lipids. We don’t want to quantitative them. Their activity is of utmost importance. With the man with the cancer we found that his anti-free radical activity score was really high, it was more than a 100. His free radical activity was 25. So, you look at both and you see which is the highest. The treatment of choice here is the Lipid-bound Selenium. The reason for that choice is we also documented, not only did this man have a low serum potassium, but he had a high red blood cell potassium, so we documented this shift from extra to inter-cellular. Only if you’ve documented this shift do you want to use selenium for cancer. You can learn more about this in an article on the DrRevici.com site, Risks and Benefits of Potassium Supplementation. You don’t want to give more than maintenance dose as on the Lipid-bound Selenium bottle. You don’t want to give more than maintenance dose, prevention dose of selenium, in someone with cancer. Unless, you have this shift documented on the cellular level. Then we can go with much higher doses. Perhaps you’ve noticed that both cases that we’ve discussed, although they’re very different and the causes for their acid urine are different and the treatments for their pain are different and for their diagnosis are different, you’ll notice they have something in common. They both have high fatty acids. In the woman with osteoarthritis the fatty acids are causing her pain and advancing her disease. In the man, his defense against the fatty acids is causing his pain and contributing to his disease. So, that’s what were talking about next time: Why these two people have such elevated fatty acids and it’s a very important discussion in lieu of the fact that we now know that most, if not all, chronic, degenerative disease, chronic disease, chronic symptoms, initiate with inflammation. Until then, good day. 

To determine whether to use Flame Quell, fatty alcohols, or MGS, bivalent negative sulfur, for acid pain we must know whether the acidity is caused by excess fatty acids or excess anti-fatty acids. There is a ‘dynamic oscillatory balance” between fatty acids and anti-fatty acids. In a healthy metabolism, the oscillation is between the ongoing formation and cleavage of cholesterol-fatty acid esters.

*Since Urine pH corresponds to tissue pH we are looking at this balance in tissues. 

*Fatty acids acidify tissue and urine. 

*Cholesterol alkalizes tissues, by binding, neutralizing fatty acids

Actually, there is more than polar bonding between fatty acids and anti-fatty acids. 

There is “stearic coupling” between the energetic centers of the fatty acid molecule and cholesterol. The well-known metabolites of arachidonic acid - PGE 2, thromboxane, prostacyclin and leukotrienes - are made from these energetic centers. 

*A healthy diurnal urine pH. 

*Cholesterol is highest at 4 AM, yielding a urine pH greater than 6.2. *Conversely, free fatty acids peak at 8-9 PM, yielding a urine pH less than 6.2. 

Listen in to learn more...

As a fairly young physician, I learned of a study that turned my head around.  There were brothers. Irish brothers, one of whom stayed in Ireland and the other moved to Boston. Those men in Ireland ate cream, butter, meat, an extremely rich diet in saturated fats and cholesterol. While the  ones in Boston did not. They ate PUFAs. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids. That is vegetable oils. The brothers, the men in Ireland had much fewer heart attacks then those in Boston. 

At the same time, I was receiving a campampaing from the American Heart and Lung Association. A campaign to say that cholesterol and saturated fats cause heart disease. Then a bit later, I learned that these brown spots as we get older, on our skin, are caused by PUFAs. And the browns spots are not only on our skin . They are also internal, including on our brian.

What to do? First and foremost, minimize and to the extent possible eliminate PUFAs. THis means all vegetables oils with the exception of olive oil. All these oils go rancid, turn into Free Radicals when exposed to heat, light and air. So, even if they’re cold pressed and the heat is less, they’re still exposed to air and light invariably. Another source fo PUFAs is packaged foods. Avoid packaged foods and probably best to avoid fish capsules, fish oil capsules, EPA, DHA capsules, these are Omega-3s and Omega-3s are much more highly oxidized, much more highly rancids than Omega-6s. There’s enough research out there to say beware. The Omega-3s in these capsules, they’re likely to turn to toxic metabolites by the time they hit the blood.

So, eat saturated fats. There’s coconut oil. Although, it doesn’t have all the benefits of the animal saturated fats coconut oil is good. Palm oil would be much better except for the fact there’s massive deforestation now to meet the worldwide needs of palm oil. So, that leaves meat, dairy, eggs, poultry, butter. Now, these meats, these products, they’re only about 40% saturated fats, and the rest are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. But, the polyunsaturated are in the foods, they’re not extracted, so they’re much safer, they’re nutrients. And if the poultry or the meat is pasture raised then the meat, the poultry and the products, the eggs the dairy have a nice palance of Omega-3 and Omega-6. I can’t over emphasized the importance of saturated fats. They’re great for the immune system, the digestive system, the nervous system, providing fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and for every cell in the body. Because saturated fats make up 50%, ideally, of the fats in the cell membranes and cell membranes are th e brains of the cell. If you’ve been exposed, knowingly or unknowingly to a lot of PUFAs you might want to know how much free radical activity there is in your  body. Of course it’s not only PUFAs that cause free radical activity it’s any toxins any exposures that are foriegn to the body. Whether it be in the air the water the food or the skin. We calculate your free radical activity as par of the calculation to determine your Inflammation on the Inflammation Calculator. So, if you’ve had a Inflammation Calculator or would like to get one call the office and ask what is my free radical activity score. It’s a good thing to monitor short term and long term because at the end of the day it’s the root of so many diseases. Good Day!
