Lynne's Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lynne August MD
Dr. A offers her interpretations and applications of Dr. Revici’s profound research at DrRevici.com and the Revici Journal. Dr. Revici was arguably fifty to one hundred years ahead of his time in his application of quantum physics to medical sciences. As a once-aspiring physicist, this alone propelled Dr. A to Dr. Revici. As a physician, she felt compelled, and in some palpable way responsible, to understand Dr. Revici’s ability to control pain and achieve remissions in terminal cancer patients with his non-toxic “guided chemotherapy”, even many cancers that conventional therapy failed to control. Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
I am happy and eager to introduce you to our new supplement, LL.. The monatomic elements in LL explain its potency - its ability to boost mental and physical energy; vanish aches and pain in some; increase mental clarity and focus in others; and generally increase immunity, strength, and stamina. Monatomic elements were discovered 50 years ago. In the early 1970s, an agricultural chemist in the United States discovered a white powdery substance derived from volcanic rock whose elements could not be detected by analytical instruments. While searching scientific literature, he found an analytical procedure that was developed and used in Russia. Working with an analyst, they ran tests according to the Russian methodology. This white powder turned out to be monatomic elements of gold and monatomics of seven other elements. While the shiny gold metal we are familiar with is a lattice of innumerable gold atoms bound together, monatomic gold is a white powder of single unbound gold atoms. Mon in monatomic means one, therefore monatomic is a single atom. The monatomic elements in the volcanic rock were created from their metals by fire, the extreme heat of volcanoes. Monatomic elements are also created when the extreme electron volts of lightning strike their metals. Monatomic elements are inert. They are chemically inactive and therefore safe to ingest. Although inert, monatomics can be charged. Monatomics can receive a lightning-volt size charge. Once ingested, as that charge gradually dissipates, our blood oxygen increases as does our cellular oxidation. Oxidation turns our food and nutrients into heat and energy while it eliminates cellular wastes and toxins. That charge also accelerates the flow of electrons in mitochondria which increases our electromagnetic field, our EMF, and most significantly photons, light particles, generated by the EMF. Our cells not only communicate via chemicals and electricity but also through the exchange of light particles, or photons. Light can carry more and actually “more pure” information than chemicals or electricity. Monatomic elements are superconductive and, therefore, change our bodies at the cellular level into superconductors of a greatly increased flow of photons throughout our organs, muscles, and tissues – even our brain and nervous system. Charged monatomic elements in water are in a sense “liquid light” themselves. Monatomics occur throughout nature. Additional to volcanic rocks, traces are found in seawater, mineral ores, soil, brain and nerve tissues, muscles, herbs, and vegetables. The agricultural chemist who discovered monatomics mentioned above-analyzed metals in brain tissue taken from a pig and a cow. Over 5% of the brain tissue by dry matter weight were two monatomic elements - rhodium and iridium. He wrote, “The elements are flowing the light of life in your body…and produce the aura around our bodies.” There are two monatomic elements in LL - iridium and rhodium. In 2011 and 2012 what is now called LL was tested on 2000 patients in hospitals in China: Men and women patients ages 21 – 75 with high blood pressure took 8 drops of LL in a glass of water two times a day for 2 months. Both high systolic and diastolic blood pressures returned to normal. Male patients ages of 50 – 75 having hair loss and/or white hair were given LL for four months. After taking LL the areas of lost hair had some baby hair growing back and white hair turned light gray and black. Arthritic pain in knees and shoulders lessened or disappeared with LL More than 600 patients had improvements in their digestion after taking LL and were then able to have a daily bowel movement. *More than 600 elderly patients were observed to attain deep and restful sleep following taking LL for a few days. Prior to taking LL, patients had restless light sleep...
Greetings! This is Lynne August. I am very enthused to introduce you to Lyte H2. Lyte – L Y T E – in Lyte H2 is Health Equations’ electrolyte powder. A reminder: our electrolytes are body battery fluid, battery fluid that increases the charge on our trillions of cells, charging our body battery.
When water is added to Lyte H2 hydrogen gas is released. H2 is hydrogen gas. H, hydrogen, is the smallest atom and H2, two hydrogen atoms, is the smallest molecule. It penetrates every membrane. Since there is no H2 in the body, it automatically moves per the concentration gradient from one compartment to the next– once ingested, from the stomach into blood, and then into cells where it ultimately affects the nucleus of cells.
Although H2 is called an antioxidant, it is not an antioxidant per se. Rather molecular hydrogen triggers our DNA to produce our own antioxidants, antioxidants if and when needed. Research published in 2015 shows how molecular hydrogen releases a protein, a transcription factor that activates over two dozen antioxidant genes.* Call it antioxidants-on-demand!
Antioxidants neutralize ROS, reactive oxygen species, or free radicals. Free radicals are molecules containing oxygen and an unpaired electron. If these unpaired electrons within the free radicals are not bound with an antioxidant, they chemically destabilize DNA, proteins, and lipids by stealing their electrons. This creates a chain reaction of electron stealing. This is oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the root cause of all diseases.
It has eluded physicians and researchers throughout the world for decades why antioxidant supplements do not treat or prevent chronic disease. Neither do antioxidants slow down aging, as demonstrated in many large studies in the last two decades. I offer an explanation: Antioxidant supplements are indiscriminate; they also suppress wanted oxidation! Oxidation is necessary to turn food into heat and energy; expel pathogens, e.g., viruses and bacteria; disable and remove toxins; repair damaged tissues; and provide the benefits from exercise. So antioxidants-on-demand is far superior to taking supplemental antioxidants, hoping we will get the right amount at the right time in the right place without suppressing necessary and wanted oxidation.
Oxidative stress is not only caused by reactive oxygen species. Reactive nitrogen species are at least as harmful. Molecular hydrogen decreases the production of nitric oxide and superoxide in cells. Nitric oxide and superoxide readily combine to form peroxynitrites. The primary danger of EMFs, electromagnetic fields, is mitochondrial damage caused by peroxynitrites.
Manmade electromagnetic fields increase peroxynitrite production in cells. What are electromagnetic fields, and specifically, what are manmade electromagnetic fields?
Electromagnetic fields or EMFs, also called electromagnetic radiation, like gravity, is an invisible force that exists everywhere. Trees, air, the Sun, the Earth, and all the stars and planets are reflecting and emitting a wide range of electromagnetic radiation. EMFs encompass all light and life forms. Humans emit electromagnetic radiation, too, such as heat, which can be detected using infrared cameras. EMFs are an essential element our bodies need, like water and air.
Manmade EMFs, on the other hand, come from power lines, electric wiring, and household appliances- from televisions, hair dryers, and baby monitors to refrigerators, washing machines, and microwave ovens. Manmade EMFs also come from computers, WiFi, cell phones, Bluetooth devices, remote controls, smart meters, and cell phone towers.
There are two differences between natural EMFs and manmade or artificial EMFs th
Welcome! This is Lynne August. In this podcast, I am discussing how Lipid-bound Zn and Se are very effective and safe anti-oxidant mineral supplements. Se and Zn are incorporated into fatty acids in Dr. Revici’s formulas. Fatty acids with incorporated minerals are free fatty acids, they are unbound. Only free unbound lipids are biologically active. Biologically active lipids are only found in two places in the body: in red blood cells and at sites of pathology. As Revici reports in his patents, abnormal cells and tissues in the body have free unbound pathological lipids. Unbound lipids attract unbound lipids. Thus, an Lb mineral will be selectively taken up by abnormal cells. Therefore, Lb minerals - Se and Zn in this discussion - will go where needed and only where they are needed. A pause here to digest the significance of that last statement is in order – Se and Zn from Lb sources only go where they are needed. I emphasize this here because studies have shown high doses of either Se or Zn in their usual supplemental forms actually increase the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. When Lb Se and Zn are ingested, they are picked by red blood cells, which also have free lipids. They do not require stomach acid, enzymes, or bile. Lb minerals attach to red blood cells even when the gastrointestinal tract is riddled with disease that severely compromises digestion. Lb minerals are then carried by red blood cells throughout the circulation and are selectively taken up by pathological cells. Free pathological lipids occur in cells when there is a mineral deficiency. Se is an essential structural element of glutathione peroxidase; GP is an enzyme that turns G into the master, most-powerful anti-oxidant (reducing agent) in the body. A cell lacking in glutathione peroxidase has pathological lipids. Zinc-dependent transcription factor regulates the expression of the stream of genes responsible for anti-oxidative responses. The importance of Zn is emphasized by the now recognized diagnosis of zinc deficiency-induced oxidative stress. A cell lacking in zinc-dependent transcription factor has pathological lipids. The cumulative effects of taking a lot of antioxidants as commonly done runs the risks of suppressing wanted oxidation. Wanted oxidation occurs in mitochondria when food, and fuel, are turned into heat and energy; when the immune system fights infections; when heavy metals, drugs, and pollutants are eliminated; when genes are transcribed. Unlike common forms of anti-oxidant supplements, Lb Se, and Zn will not suppress wanted oxidation. At supplemental doses, Lb minerals will not cause cancer. Note the emphasis here: Lb minerals at supplemental doses. Lb minerals at therapeutic doses, however, are used to rectify the failing lipid defense in cancers. When used for cancer, is absolutely necessary to assess the lipid defense through blood and urine tests to determine which therapeutic lipid is appropriate for each cancer. Using the wrong Lb mineral at therapeutic doses has no benefits and risks promoting cancer. The supplemental dose of Lb Se is two drops. This gives you the upper limit of the recommended daily dose of Se, 400mcg. To this, I add the work of the late Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, one of the pioneers and one of the major figures in selenium research. I traveled to meet him in San Diego in the ‘90s when I learned he endorsed, although not publically, Revici’s non-toxic Lb Se. Dr. Schrauzer then was recommending up to 800mcg Se for cancer prevention. Therefore, four drops daily of Lb Se is an acceptable supplemental dose. Consider taking Lb Se for autoimmune hyper- and hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s and Grave’s diseases respectively).
Specifically, it is about the toxicity of PUFAs that are extracted from food. Once extracted, PUFAs are then consumed as oils - as salad dressings; as supplements - as EPA; and as ingredients in many processed/prepackaged food - potato and corn chips, pizza, bread. Linoleic acid, the most prevalent omega-6 PUFA, is extracted from plants yielding sunflower, safflower, soy, sesame and corn oils. The primary omega-3 PUFA’s, EPA and DHA, are extracted from fish oils. There are two double bond between carbons in omega-6 PUFAs, five double bonds in EPA and six in DHA. The double bonds make omega-6 and omega-3 PUFAs highly active. They are essential players in the structure and function of all membranes in the body - from those of mitochondria and cells to those of blood vessels and skin. They also play crucial roles in immunity and the body’s lipid defense. The very double bonds that make PUFAs such invaluable players in the body’s structure and defense, turn extracted PUFAs into toxins! Once extracted, PUFAs are oxidized, generating free radicals that damage proteins, DNA, membranes and lipids. Oxidation products of linoleic acid are found in LDL cholesterol and plaque! Early last century linoleic acid was 1-2% of our calories. Now on average, it is 6-10% of our calories, sometimes as high as 20%. Excess linoleic acid consumption is a major cause of all chronic degenerative diseases, from inflammation, osteoporosis, fluid retention and decreased testosterone to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia and cancer. The coronary heart disease “epidemic” took off in the 1930s and ‘40s. The epidemic took off at the same time the dietary ratio of linoleic acid to saturated fats increased dramatically. The increase in heart disease deaths from the early 20th century until the 1960s parallels an increase in the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis as documented by autopsy studies. This increase is attributed to dietary changes that led to an increase in serum cholesterol levels. Ironically, an increase in cholesterol is the body’s defense against the inflammation caused by PUFAs!!!! It is also ironic that PUFAs were introduced and promulgated by two industries, neither with concerns for health nor nutrition. Cotton provided the PUFAs to make candles. With the advent of electricity, another use for all the cotton seed oil was found … in PUFAs. Later, dues to fuel shortages during WWII, vast amounts of soybeans were planted. Soy oil can be converted to fuel for diesel engines. After the war, another use for all the soybean oil was found … PUFAs. Per capita consumption of soybean oil (which contains approximately 55% linoleic acid) increased 1000-fold from 1909 to 1999! The double bonds of omega-3 EPA are much less stable than those of linoleic acid. EPA oxidizes before reaching the bloodstream. The brain is very sensitive to oxidation by EPA and its toxins. Age pigment, those brown spots on skin, is lipids damaged by PUFA oxidation. This pigment occurs in the brain. Linoleic acid is the precursor of two highly inflammatory fatty acids: prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotrienes. Since omega-3 EPA can block this conversion of linoleic acid to these inflammatory fatty acids, EPA’s anti-inflammatory affects have been emphasized … and yes, used acutely they work! However, since the block is temporary, continuous ingestion of EPA is required for diets high in linolenic acid. Nevertheless … Beware! NO amount of antioxidants can negate their deleterious effects! How did we get here? Foods riddled with PUFAs that causes obesity, heart disease and much more? Organic food is not exempt! A researcher named Ancel Keys, a physiologist in the 1950’s, hypothesized replacing dietary cholesterol and saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduces cardiovascular disease. This hypothesis was a perfect prize for the vegetable oil industry and is unfortunately still alive today.
A 66 year old woman, who was listening to her husband’s consultation with me mid-November last year, expressed her fright about getting the flu. Many articles were appearing then such as the one in Nature titled “Flu and colds are back with a vengeance – why now?” Restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19 markedly blunted the spread of other respiratory illnesses. The flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) all but disappeared in 2020 and early 2021. However, ongoing exposures to viruses are needed to maintain immunity. In short, as the Nature article states, the population had become immunologically naive.
There are copious articles and recommendations throughout the web and social media promoting vitamins (C and D) and minerals (zinc and selenium) to boost immunity. While there is research and clinical evidence validating these recommendations, their effects only target the immune defense. They do affect the lipid defense. However, the lipid defense, not immunity, is the first and most immediate defense against infections.
The word “lipid” refers to any number of different molecules composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, a variety of which together make fat. For example, cholesterol is a lipid. While the fat in meat or in our abdomen contains cholesterol, these fats also contain many other types of lipid molecules. Therapeutic lipids on the other hands, are individual lipids that bolster our lipid defense.
There are two phases to the lipid defense. Initially fatty acid lipids can destroy an infection, an allergen, damaged tissue, a toxin or a rogue cell. Then anti-fatty acids neutralize fatty acids so their destructive capabilities end. Without sufficient anti-fatty acids, fatty acid activity will lead to chronic inflammation, and chronic inflammation sets the stage for chronic disease.
In a respiratory infection, inflammatory prostaglandins are the initial fatty acids that can destroy the infectious agent. These inflammatory fatty acids cause the familiar symptoms of a cold: a runny nose, congestion, overall fatigue and generalized aches and pains. When a respiratory infection goes deeper into bronchi or lungs, more damaging fatty acids, leukotrienes, emerge. Leukotrienes are immune modulators that exert a key role in the development of bronchitis and lung disease, from asthma to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as seen influenza and Covid-19. They illicit immune cytokines. In excess, cytokine storms can be lethal.
My first response to the woman frightened by the possibility of getting the flu is keep Lipid-bound Sulfur, LbS, on hand. Take a dropper twice daily if she is exposed to the flu and/or immediately upon her first symptoms of the flu. Continue taking LbS for five days after exposure or for five days after all symptoms of the flu stop. Lipid-bound Sulfur oxidizes leukotrienes, arresting all their activity. Time and again, LbS has immediately stopped respiratory distress in those diagnosed with or assumed to have Covid-19. It will do the same for flu.
To manage the flu or any respiratory illness, even the common cold, keep Flame Quell+ and OH3 on hand. FQ+ and OH3 are fatty alcohols that neutralize the inflammatory prostaglandins. They will promptly decrease red eyes, a runny nose, congestion and, in conjunction with Lipid-bound Sulfur, decrease the severity of coughing.
Flame Quell+ and OH3 can be taken as many times a day as helpful. Start with two droppers of each in about 2 ounces of water three times a day, followed by more water. Increase the frequency of this combination as much as needed for symptom control...
73 y/o female stated she had been bitten by an unknown insect. She experienced intense pain and itching - 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. Several approaches to relieve her pain were unsuccessful. It was soon apparent that the reddish brown swollen lesions on top of her toes and foot were a result of a sudden onset of shingles instead of a necrotizing insect bite as originally diagnosed.
20 minutes after one dropper of LbS the patient reported her pain level was just 2/10. She continued to improve after taking one dropper of LbS every 4 hours for one day, then reduced the frequency to every 8 hours for another day. By the third day she was 100% asymptomatic and her lesions were remarkably improved.
While the current report demonstrates relief from acute shingles pain with LbS, Dr. Sansone reported his own relief from post herpetic neuralgia two years ago. Years after he had shingles involving one eye, he again experienced pain in that eye. Two droppers of LbS four hours apart resolved that pain entirely.
A 2013 paper published online in the journal, The Pain Clinic, found a leukotriene receptor antagonist significantly reduced postherpetic neuralgia. Of note, the analgesic effect was better in patients suffering from PHN for 1 year or more than in the others.
Dr. Sansone reported two other cases where LbS also yielded rather dramatic results. A 54 y/o carpenter, Joe, presented with loss of appetite, fatigue and abdominal and back pain. Dr. Sansone gave him two droppers of LbS twice daily plus performed upper cervical chiropractic for spinal pain. Within two days Joe’s pain was gone, his appetite and energy increased, and he returned to work. He continued taking LbS.
As it turned out, Joe had been diagnosed with multiple inoperable abdominal sarcoma lesions at the Mayo Clinic. He had refused palliative chemo. A CT scan performed approximately two months before the treatment with LbS revealed a 5.2 by 2.2 cm mass had increased to 10.6 by 6.9 cm. While mesenteric opacities were noted, no other masses were found.
On Thanksgiving, two months after first beginning LbS, Joe experienced very severe abdominal pain. After emergency surgery Joe was told 60% of the removed tumor was dead.
A 70 y/o woman with serous retinopathy was receiving intraorbital injections of vascular endothelial growth factor every 16 weeks to save her vision. The retinopathy was attributed to a course of steroids for a sinus infection nine years earlier. Although the injections reduced the leakage, visual symptoms persisted. She chose to take LbS that Dr. Sansone had previously given her for a sore throat, overall achiness and fatigue. She started and continued 1-2 droppers LbS twice daily after one of the injections. On follow up 16 weeks later her retinal scan showed 100% resolution of the retinopathy.
Dr. Sansone uses therapeutic lipids and the HEq BTE in conjunction with upper cervical chiropractic, acupuncture and Photobiomodulation, a low-energy laser therapy. He is located in central Texas. I am grateful for the cases he reports. I invite all listeners to do the same. Please send to august.revici@gmail.com.
In chronic disease the biphasic lipid defense is off-balance. The off-balance actually is likely evident before or well before diagnoses are made. An off-balance is either an excess of fatty acid activity, an excess of anti-fatty acid activity or excesses of both. The effects of an off-balance are enormous, too numerous to list here. They range from calcium deficiency and calcium depositions in soft tissue (think coronary arteries) to autonomic dysfunction (think Parkinson’s), NAFLD (subclinical liver disease the BTE has been heralded for decades) and CVD.
The Health Equations Blood Test Evaluation (BTE) evaluates the ‘collateral damage’ of a lipid defense gone awry. The BTE recommends supplements, diet and lifestyle to address the off- balance and its damages, often in conjunction with therapeutic lipids.
The first inspiration for the BTE began in the 1970’s when I traveled to southern CA to meet Jacque Delangre, the Frenchman who brought Celtic Sea Salt to the US from Normandy, France. I learned plasma has a concentration of salt and other ions that is remarkably similar to sea water; and, studies early last century in Europe administering IV concentrated sea water demonstrated remarkable benefits for severe diseases. Then I observed salt deficiency contributes to fatigue, viral infections, a catabolic off-balance and hypotension, even hypertension. While common commercial salts contain 97% sodium chloride and three percent processing chemicals, Celtic Sea Salt is 84% sodium chloride, the remainder being sixty-plus trace minerals.
I designed an electrolyte product with Celtic Sea Salt to restore the charge on cell membranes. The more robust this charge the greater cell function, cancer cells having the lowest charge. The Hydration Index on the BTE is a ‘measure’ of this charge, lacking in chronic disease due to the electrolyte imbalances caused by the lipid defense off-balance. Over the decades and over 30,000 BTE’s later, although the electrolyte product does not necessarily elevate a low HX, continuous use of CSS EP if HX is low, has enormous reported clinical benefits without any unwanted effects.
To order, see the product page at healthequations.com.
The other inspiration for the BTE came from my years biologically farming. Biological farming is organic farming AND ADDITIONALLY focuses on restoration of the soil microbiome. As it turns out, not surprisingly, a healthy soil microbiome is the essential missing KEY for human health!!!
The best ‘measure’ of the soil microbiome is a soil chromatograph: a picture of microbiome activity. The picture is developed on dried filter paper previously soaked in an aqueous solution of soil, using chemicals and procedures similar to those to develop photographs. The differences in the pictures of fertile and infertile soils are very evident to everyone.
The BTE likewise is a picture of the body’s chemistry. Each result of a chemistry profile, CBC and lipid panel is seen in context of the whole. Currently we view lab results line by line or a few lines at a time. However, if all enzymes of liver function are normal we would falsely conclude the liver is okay unless we also factor in the hydration and protein indices. Water and sufficient protein, along with rest, are the three primary nutrients for liver function.
To further illustrate the effects of an off-balance in the lipid defense: high tissue cholesterol causes loss of chloride in the urine. The resulting hypochlorhydria decreases stomach acid, acid crucial to digest proteins. Thus the off-balance in the lipid defense explains how a person with normal intake of protein will show a protein deficit, a low Protein Index on the BTE...
In April this year, the daughter of a 70 y/o man with prostate cancer emailed us. She reported her father, KG, had long-standing prostate enlargement which had been monitored closely. Then in November 2020, now a year ago, his PSA and alkaline phosphatase were markedly elevated - his PSA was 940 (over 4 is high) and his alkaline phosphatase 971(over 126 is high). This elevation in alk phos is the result of extensive bone metastases seen on his scan. KG’s only other significant medical history is a stint, placed in 2018. Starting with the stint, he is prescribed BP lowering medications, a statin and Atenolol. Lipid-bound Selenium, LbSe, was recommended in April, one dropper approximately every 12 hours. This dropper can be placed directly in the mouth, on bites of food or in the large end of a double 00 gelatin capsule. Why LbSe? A simultaneous serum and red-blood-cell potassium, 4.3 and 94 respectively, indicates he is anabolic at the cell level. In anabolism, there is relatively more potassium inside cells compared to serum. In other words, there is an extra- to intracellular shift in potassium. Our man’s serum potassium is below 4.5 and his red-blood-cell potassium, RBC K, is greater than 90, indications he is anabolic on the cell level.1 LbSe is catabolic on the cell level. Further, his bone scan showed lucent bone lesions. Lucent bone is less dense bone. Lucent bone lesions are anabolic lesions. Anabolic bone lesions are osteolytic, that is, bone is dissolved. Descriptions of bone metastases on scan reports are extremely valuable and reliable. The scans of a woman with breast cancer and bone metastases this year specifically describe lytic lesions and “lytic destruction”. Although she is not able to get a RBC K, these scans are definitive for an anabolic off-balance in cells. She is responding positively to LbSe. LbSe for KG yes, starting in April, and Lipid-bound Calcium, LbCa, was added a month later. Both are catabolic at the cell level. I chose LbCa also because his serum calcium was low, at 8.6. Since approximately one third of serum calcium is bound to albumin, a low albumin will decrease serum calcium. Therefore, it is important to note his albumin was normal at that time. Dr. Revici found that the inability of anabolic cancers to utilize calcium favors their metastases. There is much more to say about LbCa that we will cover in another podcast. When KG began LbSe in April, his alk phos had already decreased from last November’s 971 to 670. He had received two injections at the beginning of this year that decrease testosterone by antagonizing gonadotrophin-releasing hormones LH and FSH. Additionally, he took an androgen synthesis inhibitor daily and a monoclonal antibody used for bone metastases monthly. Actually, KG’s drop in PSA was more dramatic than that of his alk phos. His PSA of 940 a year ago dropped to 21 per a test in May. Then, on his August 30th lab, his alk phos and PSA are both normal!! We are all surprised, especially his urologist and oncologist. A decrease was expected, yes, but slowly, not precipitously and certainly not to normal. Words of caution are warranted: we have never witnessed improvements in actual tumors from LbSe as described here for bone metastases, even when an extra- to intracellular shift of potassium has been documented. Since LbSe is used for cancers in conjunction with other therapies, improvements must be attributed to the protocol, not specifically to LbSe. Likewise, KG received medications aimed at reducing his cancer. How does LbSe work? LbSe oxidizes leukotrienes, LTRs. LTRs are metabolites of arachidonic acid, AA. Dr. Revici identified a fatty acid in the 1930’s with three parallel double bonds that causes irreversible damage. Other pro-inflammatory fatty acids do not. Appropriately, Dr. Revici called them conjugated trienic fatty acids. ..continued
**This podcast will bring clarity to the interpretation of urine pH (UpH) and to the use of lipid-bound sulfur, LbS. Dr. Revici used Flame Quell, a butanol compound, two different ways: as an acidifying agent when urine pH is alkaline and as an anti-fatty acid agent when urine pH is acid. As acidifying agent for many symptoms, not just pain, that are dualistic. The use of Flame Quell for vertigo was written up extensively by a B. Welt in the AMA Archives of Otolaryngology, 1953. There were consistent improvements from butanol when urine is alkaline, worsening when urine is acid. Sodium thiosulfate was used as an alkalinizing agent for acid urine. As an anti-fatty acid agent when fatty acids are the cause of symptoms and disease. Examples as an anti-fatty acid agent are in our last podcast: my 40 y/o colleague relieved a severe spring allergy attack with a large dose of FQ+ that he held in his mouth; and, a 38 y/o woman’s intermittent bouts of congestion, sore throat, headache and fatigue are reliably relieved quickly with FQ+. Her UpH is always acid. In both of these cases, symptoms are caused by inflammatory fatty acids and in both cases FQ+ neutralizes them via polar bonding. A recent development for the woman with intermittent sore throats and congestion illustrates the limits of UpH. She contacted me urgently ten days ago for help with debilitating brain fog and utter exhaustion, clearly due to mold. She previously had mold exposure during the four years she lived in a WDB, a “water damaged building”, a hillside home where the stone kitchen wall was against hill soil without runoff from rain or snow. WDB is an anachronism in the world of mold illness and occurs far more frequently than recognized. Her symptoms then were not understood as a consequence of mold until she moved to a mold-free environment. Now, in another home where renovations supposedly properly and completely rendered it mold free, some mornings she is unable to even make a routine shopping list. I recommended one dropper Lipid-bound Sulfur (LbS) twice daily while continuing two droppers Flame Quell+ with the same of glycerol three times daily. She is dramatically better within a few days. Why LbS? Her UpH is acid. Acid UpH indicates there is a catabolic or dysaerobic off-balance. Sulfur is catabolic, dysaerobic, and so are the fatty acids which incorporate sulfur in LbS. Treat a catabolic off-balance with a catabolic element and agent? Peer-reviewed published papers during this last year suggest Singulair, a LT receptor antagonist, should be considered a treatment modality for Covid. Singulair is used to reduce exercise-induced asthma and allergic rhinitis but is not effective for acute asthma attacks (inhaled corticosteroids work); it takes up to a week before reaching its full effect; and, must be taken two hours before exercise to stop exercise induced asthma. ...
...It is unfortunate that rarely does one lipid, chosen for pain, apparently and surprisingly destroy tumor cells. Blood tests and urine monitoring to chose lipids and evaluate their effectiveness, and change when necessary, are advised. I am available for consultations. Please email Felista at my office, service@healthequations.com**, with your questions about the use of therapeutic lipids in a particular case or cases. She will schedule a time for us to talk. I look forward to speaking with you. I wish you all the blessing of renewal this season of increasing light and warmth offers.
Most symptoms, acute or chronic, are caused by inflammation. Sneezing and congestion are signs of inflammation if you have a cold or spring allergy. Swelling, redness and heat are signs of inflammation if you stub your toe. And symptoms associated with any condition that ends in “itis” - arthritis, colitis, bursitis - are caused by inflammation.
Inflammation can be the cause of symptoms without obvious signs of inflammation and without an “itis”. Examples include tinnitus (that’s an “itUs”, ringing in the ears), vertigo (you feel like you are spinning or the world around you is spinning), PMS (premenstrual symptoms), itching, palpitations, fever, and even stress.
Two kinds of inflammatory fatty acids cause symptoms. One kind makes tissues acid while the other causes tissues to become alkaline. The good news: the pH of your urine at the time you have symptoms is the same as the pH of the tissues where you have the symptoms.
Flame Quell deactivates fatty acids that acidify tissues. MGS, magnesium and sulfur, deactivates fatty acids that alkalize tissues.
A 38-year-old woman is susceptible to bouts of congestion, sore throats, headaches and fatigue. When this occurs, her urine pH is consistently acid, 6.0 or lower. She takes two droppers of Flame Quell in water when symptoms begin and every few hours thereafter until they are gone. Before she had Flame Quell she would be ill for two or three days. Now she does not feel ill as long as she takes Flame Quell. Her symptoms are gone in less than a day.
A 40-year-old farmer suffers from spondylolisthesis. With this birth defect, a lower vertebra slides forward on the one below it, pinching nerves. His urine pH is greater than 6.4 when he has pain. Two droppers of MGS in water often relieve the pain. If there is still some pain 20-30 minutes after taking MGS, he takes two more droppers.
Another 40-year-old man, a friend and colleague, has seasonal allergies. In June he was suddenly overcome with sneezing, nasal discharge, intense itching in his throat and ear canals, and restricted breathing. He took ½tsp. Flame Quell, holding it in his mouth before swallowing. All symptoms were gone in less than a minute.
The usual dose of Flame Quell is two droppers initially, then another two droppers in 20-30 minutes if relief is incomplete. ½tsp. is 2½ droppers. The spoon was not only the quickest way to take Flame Quell, it also allowed him to take advantage of its direct absorption through the mouth membranes. He successfully avoided the emergency room.
A 51-year-old man experiences discomfort from a tumor in his rectum. Now, more often than not, his urine is alkaline. One or two droppers of MGS invariably relieve the discomfort. Several weeks earlier, when his urine was acid, two droppers of Flame Quell provided relief.
It is important to note that treating symptoms does not treat the cause of the symptoms. Reducing inflammation does not treat the cause of inflammation. Treating symptoms does nothing to rid an allergen, align a misaligned vertebra or stop the growth of cancer.
Flame Quell’s relief of symptoms is sometimes insufficient in severe respiratory illnesses even though the urine is acid. This is also true for a woman when her migraine pain resolves with Flame Quell but her postdrome symptoms after migraines do not, as discussed in a previous podcast. In these circumstances both acidifying and alkalizing fatty acids are at play. A similar but different form of sulfur than the sulfur in MGS is needed in addition to Flame Quell, lipid-bound sulfur, LbS. One dropper of LbS two to three times daily, taken on bites of food or in a capsule, does the trick
A woman in her late thirties has a history of migraines. The migraines started over 17 years ago during her first pregnancy and thereafter often occurred premenstrual. She tried multiple medications over the years and although some helped somewhat they did not prevent the inevitable two-days-down.
Approximately two years ago she began using Flame Quell for her migraines. She takes two droppers in water at the first signs of a migraine. Her first signs, called the prodrome and aura before pain, include very marked visual impairment and light sensitivity. She takes another two droppers if/when pain begins and, on occasion, two more droppers if there is still pain 15 minutes after the second dose. Flame Quell, usually two doses, has stopped all migraines.
Two weeks ago, however, she called concerned that although she had had no pain she had symptoms after taking her Flame Quell. Her symptoms included body aches, nausea and light and noise sensitivity. These are postdrome symptoms, symptoms that typically occur after migraine pain is gone. Fortunately, one dose of Lipid-bound Sulfur immediately stopped all of her symptoms that afternoon. All was well the rest of the day but she awoke with the same symptoms the next morning. One more dropper of Lipid-bound Sulfur, then she was pleasantly shocked … nothing more!
You can drink baking soda in water to relieve acid indigestion. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is very alkaline so it neutralizes, in effect removes, stomach acid. Similarly, Flame Quell neutralizes inflammatory fatty acids so they can no longer cause inflammation.
Acute inflammation can wreak havoc. Most of us have experienced congestion, sneezing, red watery eyes, fatigue, etc., from a cold or spring allergies. The prodrome, aura and pain of migraines is also acute inflammation. Flame Quell relieves acute inflammation. Therefore, Flame Quell eliminates or reduces symptoms of colds, allergies and migraines.
Flame Quell, however, did not stop the postdrome symptoms. Those symptoms were caused by different inflammatory fatty acids that are not neutralized by Flame Quell. Acute inflammatory fatty acids are typically done when they are done, they leave no trace. On the other hand, inflammatory fatty acids causing the postdrome are often chronic and permanently damaging. They need to be oxidized, destroyed, not just neutralized. Sulfur or selenium bound within fatty acids of sesame oil - Lipid-bound Sulfur and Lipid-bound Selenium - destroys them.
The inflammatory fatty acids that are damaging are called leukotrienes, “leuko-” because they are made in leukocytes or white blood cells, and “-trienes” because they have three adjacent double bonds in their carbon chain. This structure enables leukotrienes to cause irreversible damage to cells and tissues. Leukotrienes are not only operative in all chronic diseases, they can also cause acute exacerbations of chronic disease, and they can be lethal, as in Covid. Leukotrienes are operative if there is a flare up of symptoms in an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis; during withdrawal from smoking, alcohol or opioids; in initiating and perpetuating atherosclerosis responsible for heart attacks and strokes; in neurological diseases from Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s; and more.
Although there are medications that oppose leukotrienes, the role of leukotrienes in chronic and life-threatening disease is yet to be fully investigated and effectively treated.
Leukotrienes are also responsible for the severity of damage by influenza and Covid viruses. Lipid-bound Sulfur has reduced the severity of symptoms in Covid. The woman with migraines just happened to have Lipid-bound Sulfur on hand in case she or a famil
Inflammatory fatty acids are the first responders to a viral infection and they cause the first symptoms to a viral infection. Less fatty acids are less symptoms, less symptoms while your body develops immunity. Glycerol neutralizes fatty acids. It disables them, so, glycerol reduces symptoms and sometimes eliminates them too. Glycerol has three OH, Hydroxy or alcohol groups that are positively charged. These three positively charged groups attract the negative charges at the end of fatty acids. When the two bind the fatty acids are disabled. When glycerol, which has three hydroxyl groups to bind fatty acids. When it binds one it’s a monoglyceride. When it binds two it’s a diglyceride and when it binds three it’s a triglyceride. This is very natural and very physiologic. It is not a drug.
I recommend glycerol a lot. For example in January, for my then 16 month old grandson, we gave him glycerol for a lingering cough after a cold, a URI he had the previous month. We gave him ⅛ teaspoon, three times a day. The cough subsided within twenty four hours. We continued the therapy for another four days and stopped. No symptoms since.
I also recommend glycerol for those with cardiovascular risk or cardiovascular disease and especially those with high cholesterol. High cholesterol is an indicator that there are inflammatory fatty acids running amok. The cholesterol’s purpose is its attempt to neutralize the fatty acids. Dr. Revici found that giving glycerol actually reduced the cholesterol. But, that was awhile ago and things are much more complicated now. So, I would not recommend it as a cholesterol lowering drug but as part of a regimen. For people with cardiovascular risk or disease, I recommend ¼ teaspoon, three times a day. Glycerol is much overlooked home remedy.
We have to address then, is it toxic? I have never seen any side affects from glycerol. But, if you look it up on the web there’s talk of headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. However, I could not find how much it took to cause those side affects. Since glycerol is sometimes used for hydration or constipation, I suspect those doses are quite a bit higher than what I’m recommending here.
I woke up this morning to a text, from a friend who has a fever of 102 and cough. So, I recommended ¼ teaspoon of glycerol four times a day, spread out over his waking hours. I also recommended ¼ teaspoon twice a day, for his wife who is totally asymptomatic and we want to stay ahead of the symptoms. Many of you hearing this probably don’t have glycerol at home and my office is closed. So unfortunately, we can’t send any to you. If possible you could get it on Amazon, look for an organic that’s ideal or look for USP Grade which means pharmaceutical grade. However, it its just glycerol and no other added ingredients, most likely, it’s safe and it’ll do the job for you. I’m wishing you all, all the best.
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 service@healthequations.com 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.

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!
