Bill Clearfield 01:58
Dr. Bell Hey there, Melvin. How are you?
02:01
Pretty good. Did it go in?
Bill Clearfield 02:03
Well, I didn’t I didn’t process it. So I will. Okay. I just want to we’re trying to get my
02:11
materials together. So all right, no problem. No rush. So it was a digit credit card that I get. Yeah, I
Bill Clearfield 02:19
didn’t even try it. So that’s okay. That’s okay. We will Don’t worry though. Oh, yeah. So, okay, hang on one
02:31
more here.
Bill Clearfield 02:35
Guys missed me last week.
02:37
I don’t know. But it was good. It was good, though.
Bill Clearfield 02:40
Yeah. So nice. Be an offer or Tuesday once for once you’re the grandkids right. I was with the grandkids
02:48
so you deserve that much work?
Bill Clearfield 02:51
I think so. So they got me lined up to take this test for to become a homeopathic MD. When When is that? I don’t know. They totally got two more things to do. I gotta go get fingerprinted. And then I then I got to take this test. So tell me I’ll give you the materials. Maybe when we see each other. I’ll pass it off to you. All right. So I don’t know I don’t think I’ve passed the test and a long time. I haven’t taken one in a long time. Well, we’ll make sure you pass it. So they say it’s open book. So it shouldn’t be that hard.
03:28
I don’t know. Don’t trust that. When they say open book. They don’t. Yeah,
Bill Clearfield 03:33
they don’t make it easy. But no, don’t worry about it. I’m telling you. So you know what is is
03:44
will give you the stuff
Bill Clearfield 03:47
okay, Jennifer gave me some so yeah, I have I have more because I kind of was in charge of that.
03:53
I was reviewing the test takers before
Bill Clearfield 03:57
you just send me the answer key that would be sure. Let’s not do that on Zoom. Well, we’re just we’re just we’re just joking about it right here. Yeah, we do everything on the up and up here. We do. You never you never know. You never know who’s listening at the AOA.
04:17
I know you’re you’re in the spotlight. So no, we we know they’re all listening. We do know.
Bill Clearfield 04:27
So yeah. Their meetings coming up again next month. So I don’t know. I haven’t heard from Bruce. If he wants me to go. I’d have to go as the Nevada delegates and say, All right, or ungroup is no longer viable. So yeah, I think they’re trying to change the name to I don’t
04:46
know if you heard of that. Change the name of
04:50
the homeopathic board. Now they’re they’re going to change the name.
04:54
I think that’s part of the agenda there. But it’s just still the same though.
Bill Clearfield 04:59
Now this is the AOA meeting the one where they Oh, no, no, I was talking about the AOA meeting there the one little tip for last year when they you know they they have wish this so all right you are you going? I don’t know either Bruce wants me to go is the Nevada delegate. I think I would just sit there and stare at them and not say a word that would probably drive them out of their minds. To a deal right when I went there last year, nobody nobody knew me when I wouldn’t when when the meeting started. It started at 8am on Saturday at 10:10am. Everybody knew me. It was like that the Red Sea parted when I left. I wanted to be anywhere near me. So
05:40
at least three events or any
Bill Clearfield 05:43
we Oh they did that. We learned we learned that we learned that the meaning in real time that the meaning of it’s better to be feared than to be like
05:57
hey, at least you’re getting remembered
Bill Clearfield 05:59
as well. Yeah. So we’re waiting for our speaker, John Lewis. And he’s not here yet. So anybody? Anybody that’s on has any anything they’d like to bring up? Let me know. If you’re having any any
06:22
issues with any
Bill Clearfield 06:27
governing bodies, let us know we’re always glad to stand in opposition. And so anybody’s got any interesting cases we’d like to discuss that okay, here’s our guests are here now. Joe, I’m gonna make you a co host okay.
06:54
And we got
Bill Clearfield 06:54
our speaker is on he’s ready to go.
06:59
Hello, Dr. Lewis. How are you? Very good, sir.
07:03
How are you? Okay, we’re
Bill Clearfield 07:04
anxiously awaiting your presentation here. Come with red eye. Hi credentials and Hi. I am high marks before we even before we even begin so so it’s a little bit after five. We usually get participants showing up it really right at five and sometimes almost a quarter to six or so. So usually we get started fairly right on time. And usually what we’d have you do is introduce yourself better better than than I can, since you know yourself better than me. And you know how to do the share screen and if you have slides.
07:47
Yes, sir. Okay. And
Bill Clearfield 07:51
take it away. Tell us who you are and where you came from and why you went to whatever college you went to. Went to also also
07:59
Yes, sir. Let me make sure I’m sharing the screen properly. I’m not exactly the most efficient Zoomer but
08:18
we’ve
Bill Clearfield 08:18
been doing this let this meeting for two and a half years. So we’re just read sort of getting it
08:24
and you guys see that? No, we see you
Bill Clearfield 08:35
you see that? Yeah, I see you see me I have share on I have share on you should be able to see that.
08:46
No, no. Nope.
Bill Clearfield 08:49
Does anybody else seeing I just see. See our speaker we did have this app here.
09:02
I got it. I got it here. There we go.
09:11
Now the problem
09:11
is I don’t see my slides.
Bill Clearfield 09:14
It says you started sharing screen sharing that’s what we see.
09:22
I apologize folks,
09:23
I’m again I’m not the most efficient Zoomer as you’ve already figured out. So
09:30
are you are you on an apple? No, I’m on a Dell. There you go. There we go.
09:37
You see it now?
Bill Clearfield 09:39
Yeah, the importance of polysaccharides for brain health. Yep, there we go. Okay,
09:43
you got it now.
Bill Clearfield 09:45
You got you got that speaker thing on where your next slide is showing up on the right. Nice. Nice picture by the way. Thank you.
09:54
Is that okay? Or is it need to be? It’s okay.
Bill Clearfield 09:57
I’m gonna you know, if you want to put it on, you know, audience mode. It’s usually better so that we don’t have to swap Presenter View and slideshow here. One up here. Yeah, that one there. Any better accent? That’s how you got it. You’re good to go.
10:21
Okay, very good. Okay, guys, thank you so much. I apologize for that little snafu.
Bill Clearfield 10:27
No worries.
10:28
Thank you. Dr. Clearfield. My name is John Lewis. I’ve been at nutrition and I’ve been running clinical trials in Nutrition, dietary supplements and exercise training for most of my career. Although I left academics full time about six years ago to launch a dietary supplement company that was really the basis for a lot of the research that I want to present to you guys tonight that looks at these two particular these two particular polysaccharides from aloe vera and rice bran if you guys are not familiar with the power of really I mean, it’s just there I like to refer to them as pleiotropic nutrients, although maybe that’s not really the greatest term in the world. But I spent about 20 years at the University of Miami medical school here in Miami, Florida running these clinical trials. I have close to 190 papers in my career scientific articles. I’ve lectured all around the world but you know, all those academic credentials are nice, but really what makes me tick is is helping people and helping people through nutrition, particularly with these particular polysaccharides it I just get such a thrill about talking to people about because of the fact that usually most times people don’t really know too much about them. So for me, it’s always a nice opportunity. And I hope some of the folks listening tonight or watching tonight will not be you know, for the first time hearing about this information, although I suspect some of the research that I’m going to present to you tonight will probably be nervous because I haven’t had the opportunity to really, you know, broadcast this as as, as widely and as loudly as I would like, but that’s part of what I’ve been working on and in my business. But anyway, my company’s name is Dr. Lewis nutrition and I’m happy that my contact information is here both my I still have a voluntary faculty appointment at the University of Miami again, I’m not in academics full time anymore, but my u m. And my personal email addresses are here and my phone number if anyone would like a copy of this presentation, I’m more than happy to email it to you There’s nothing here that I consider to be proprietary. So with that said, let’s let’s jump right into it. I like to always acknowledge anytime I lecture to particular people who really completely changed not only my profession but my life in terms of introducing me to the power of these polysaccharides Dr. Reggie McDaniel on the aloe vera side. Miss Barbara Kimberly on the rice brand side. Both of these people really opened my eyes to what polysaccharides could do that were just again so much more than I learned as a graduate student in. In biochemistry, I probably learned that polysaccharides were basically an energy source and that was about it in terms of what I learned about them as a student. So I’m really indebted to those two people for the rest of my life and of course, all the sponsors and the people who participated in our research without those folks never could have done any of this work. But let me start out in just a little bit of a higher level, which I think is important to do is to give nutrition its proper context and place within certainly within my work and I’m sure within many of your work as well. Every time I lecture. I always like to start out with a couple of just anecdotes from the past. And of course, we all know this phrase, Let food be thy medicine from Hippocrates. I think, you know, whatever this guy’s brain, you know, whatever his IQ, his capacity to, to just really understand and comprehend prior to any you know, no one scientific method or technology or anything else, I just find what he said at that time, 2500 years before our calendar even started. It just really profound and of course everybody knows. Hippocrates is the father of modern medicine. However, going many, many years into the future. Dr. James Lin, who was one of the significant people within the British Navy in the 1700s. As you can see, when he was alive, probably most people don’t know who James land is usually when I lecture and I asked if you’ve known if you heard of James land or you knew what his significance was, and most people don’t but if you think about what he discovered this this knowledge that you could utilize citrus, lemons, fruits and oranges to not only treat sturdy but to actually I’m sorry not only to prevent it but to actually reverse it and people who have it. So Dr. Lin’s discovery was really significant in allowing the British to dominate basically the entire world for many many years and that that secret stayed with the British for a long time. Excuse me, but in my opinion, you know, when you look at, of course, you talk about the properties first and then somebody like James Lynn, what the point is mentioning these two individuals, is that nutrition, the power of nutrition or, you know, the the idea that nutrition is really the underlying factor to health is not an it’s not a new concept. You know, it’s been around for a very long time. And it’s just been a matter of, you know, how it kind of fits it fits into the context of society at any given time. But when I think about you know, the use of citrus to treat and prevent scurvy, it’s like, you know, according to the FDA is grip that definition of anything that treats hell that’s considered a drug, but nobody in his or her right mind would think an orange or lemon or a lime is a drug. So you know, that’s just kind of preposterous aspect of the environment that we live in. Today as people that help other people with nutrition and what we can and cannot say based on FDA and FTC and all these government regulations, but to me, it’s, it’s very important to remember these things and, and especially in the context of how they’re applied and how they’re discussed. And so, we know today I mean, we we clearly have a very serious problem related to how the typical American eats today I mean, if you just look at the so called sad the Standard American Diet all this processed food, heavily processed food, ultra processed food, much fatty food too much animal food, too much sleep food, they’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables. All these things are just really killing us. And it’s it’s no wonder that we have all of these epidemics of these diseases and disorders. I mean, just, you know, take your pick of any that you that you like, you’re all these things that whether it’s the Institute of Medicine, or you know, certain other factions will say typically that 80% of these could be prevented if we ate better and we move I mean, that’s really a lot of what it comes down to today. Of course, you still have factors like tobacco use alcohol use, insomnia, stress management, I mean, there are certain certainly other environmental and lifestyle factors at play here. But when you really think about all the literature that’s available and all the information that’s available about nutrition and the benefit of nutrition, and of course I know that you know what, when you talk about diet, of course, that’s obviously a very controversial topic because people have their biases, whether you’re vegan or carnivore or keto or Mediterranean or whatever that is, you know, of course, people will argue and debate what the optimal diet is, but nonetheless in the in the grand scheme of all the scientific literature, when you look at just changing a few things and moving toward a more natural diet, you could just do so much to help all these folks that are that are just crippled today with these various chronic diseases. And I like to talk about obesity is kind of, you know, this canary in the coal mine, if you will, of what’s happened to us since the early 1960s. You know, we had right before that the introduction of fast food by McDonald’s and then around that time, we had the industrial green revolution where all these synthetic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, were introduced to what’s now a very, very corporate form of agriculture. And then other factors too related to technology, of course, as people started getting more sedentary so you know, it’s not just one thing but when you look at BMI as an indicator of obesity, and granted, it’s not a perfect indicator, but it’s it’s pretty accurate compared to percentage body fat. I mean, just look at what’s happened to us since the 19, early 1960s, up until just a few years ago, when the CDC released these latest
19:12
batch of enhanced data. I mean, it’s just staggering. And you know, I don’t know I’m sure you guys also, you probably educate a lot of your patients and clients about genetics, you know, like people I just spoke to a lady a couple days ago, and she’s telling me that her children’s problems are all due to genetics. Completely ignoring the fact that they’re not eating well, and, and other factors, but to me, in my opinion, I mean, and this isn’t a shot at epigenetics. I mean, I understand how epigenetics works. But otherwise, you know, if you look at what happened to us from the 1960s to today and where we are with obesity, I mean, these numbers are just staggering. And now men are more obese than women for the first time. So you’re talking over 42 or so percent of the population is obese, according to a BMI greater than 30. And then you have another 30 some odd percent that are overweight, so they’re between 25.0 and up to 20 29.9. So you’re talking seven out of 10 Americans are obese today are on sorry, overweight or obese, staggering numbers that have changed in my lifetime, just in the last, you know, 5060 years. So to me, this is a very strong indicator of lifestyle and environment and behavior and having nothing to do with genes. I mean, I just don’t agree with the idea that in the last 5060 years, our genes said okay, now it’s time for humans to be obese and sick. That doesn’t make any sense to me. And that’s not how our genes work. So you know, these are some of the contextual factors that are very important to me and my work and how I look at things but moving you know, from that very high level helicopter view down to a little bit further into this, talking about dietary supplements, of course, many times people are skeptical of dietary supplements because of you know, so many different findings and so many different conclusions and it depends on the funding and the design of the trial and all these other factors. So I understand that.
21:10
But
21:12
again, when you when you look at what dietary supplements can do, and if you’re someone who maybe doesn’t think dietary supplements are all that useful, are all that practical, I can tell you that your patients are still using them. And I’ll get to that data in just a moment. But when you think of roughly 80,000 products on the market today, according to the Institute of Medicine, I mean, it’s a huge industry. It continues growing if you look at from what happened in the night in 1994 when the DIS che Act was passed. Up until these last couple of years, the industry just continued growing. It doesn’t matter if it was a.com bubble burst in the late 90s all the way to the real estate bubble burst in Oh 908 No nine even with those kinds of things happening and of course, lock downs over the last couple of years. The dietary supplement industry continued growing so what does that tell you that tells you in my opinion that people are looking for answered you know, they’re, they’re going to their physician or you know staying in this conventional approach to treatment or to to address a health challenge, and they’re not getting answers. So the dietary supplement industry is an area that’s right or providing answers to people and can help people if applied properly. So here was here was what I was getting at just a moment ago. If
22:29
you look at
22:31
the typical dietary supplement user, again, these are data from campaigns. If you can believe you know, enhance or I mean if CDC head still has credibility at this point, but that’s another conversation but still, if you look at the dietary supplement use data according to enhance. A lot of Americans are using dietary supplements. So you’re talking just under 60% of Americans aged at least 20 or over are using a dietary supplement or have used at least one in the last 30 days. I mean, that’s over half of our population. So that’s 330 million. That’s over 160 some odd million people using a dietary supplement every day, who said at least 20 years of age. And then of course, the typical dietary supplement user and this has been for a while I’ve been tracking these data for the last 1015 years. It’s usually an older non Hispanic, white female who is physically active and has a higher level of education. So you’re typically talking about the mom or you know, the grandma in the in the household who’s making decisions about using dietary supplements, not only for herself, and probably her husband or you know, other family members. And so, that’s the person you know, these are the people that are using dietary supplements and it’s a huge, huge number of people in our country today so it can’t be ignored and and I don’t see our industry going away anytime soon. So with that said, let me again, get into, you know, some of the details of the work that we’ve done over the last Gosh, it’s hard to believe it’s been I think this all started in about a later oh nine so it’s, it’s going on quite a while now roughly 15 years that we’ve been at this. And again, even though I’m still not, I’m not in academics anymore full time. I’m actually still publishing data from these datasets. I’ve got a new paper from the Alzheimer’s study. I’m getting ready to mention that we just submitted for publication this past week. So there’s a lot of information that that came out of this study initially and it’s still coming out that’s in my opinion, very valuable and can be very beneficial to people. So one of the fascinating things for me is talking about polysaccharides and you know looking at this word, you know, or hearing this term polysaccharide and I can just as easily said, Well, you know, folks, I think sugar is good for you and probably because of just the way the media portrays the mass media portrays the word sugar or anything that comes from sugar and it all just gets lumped in together like it’s all, you know, considered bad or evil or now you can’t you can’t eat sugar and it just really, it bothers me when I hear people say that because there are so many sugars that occur in nature and of course sugars that get modified in chemistry labs, but the sugars that come from things like rice bran and aloe vera, and even though scoria wild him man, these are very, very good sugars for us and so they’re polysaccharides and so a sugar is not a sugar it depends on the sugar. Yes if you’re talking about high fructose corn syrup, or eating too much sucrose and glucose or even fructose in your diet. Okay, sure. That’s probably not your best strategy. But you cannot use the word sugar and say all sugar is bad for you. That is categorically not true. I’m going to show you why. So,
25:44
the first the the first part of this review will be related to the our polysaccharide complex. And this is a product that that we call now, daily bring here. And again, I’m still referring to the studies that have been going on since prior to actually really prior to 2009 Simply because you know we had time writing the protocol and getting IRB approval and all these other things. So it was really when data collection or I should say not data collection, but enrolling our subjects occurred in oh nine and then we went from there but we’ll talk about these two studies first in people with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease. And then people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. So again, two of the big three in terms of neuro degeneration and what we’ve showed in our lab to be able to help counteract and help people with these really tragic issues. And so before we get into really more of the guts of the of each of these trials, it’s important to consider why are these polysaccharides so effective and why did they help people not just for neurodegeneration, but many other things as well. So this is really just a graphical representation of every cell in our body that that we are now comfortable in saying that every 30 Plus trillion cells in our body utilizes these polysaccharides and the reason why they’re so important is because of what’s happening between the endoplasmic reticulum here and the Golgi over here is that anytime some bioactive compound is created, or cells are communicating with each other, they need these polysaccharides right here, it’s not very readable, but you can see it if you request the presentation from me, but it is known, you know, again, this is going back into the 80s. At least I mean people around the world looking at the field of glycobiology or glycomics, whatever you prefer, looking at why the sugars are so crucial to cellular functioning essentially. So they’re very much needed. Now. They’re not essential so the body can reconstruct the sugars from other sugars that are more commonly found in the diet like those that I mentioned. But what seems to be true is that there is a special quality to these particular polysaccharides coming from aloe vera and Ricebran primarily in other plants as well. That when you when you give them directly in the diet as opposed to relying on the body to reconstruct glucose and sucrose and fructose into these polysaccharides you have a much more effective response. And so, one of the questions that we continually ask ourselves and you know, in our in our group of our band of little scientists is do these polysaccharides function as a signaling mechanism for the immune system as just one particular aspect of their function? And we think this is a resounding yes at this point, based on all of the work that we’ve done and what we’ve published so far. So we really feel like this is a 100% Yes, answer to this question. And of course, there are many other factors or many other mechanisms that are at play here, but overall immunomodulation, which is what a what I’m really going to get into much more as I as I talked about our trials, to us is really the most significant factor here just simply due to the way that the immune system is is as you guys know is is involved in so much crosstalk with all the other major organ systems and so we need a system is so crucial and relying on sorry, it’s crucial and thorough orchestrating the balance between all other major organ systems and so, ultimately, immunomodulation is just like one of those key factors are key functions going on. That is driven at least in part by how these polysaccharides are observed by the body or recognized by the body and then ultimately downstream, leading to better immune function. When I first got into this many, many years ago and this is a patient of document Daniel, excuse me, you can see from the images here, I mean, this was before we even started our our first trial and Alzheimer’s and events. As he showed he was showing me a lot of the stuff that he had been doing, actually, again was not in neurodegeneration, but it was actually in a lot of cancers. And so he showed me here a patient who had had metastatic disease from the pancreas and had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, the whole nine yards of conventional treatment, still went to cancer, hospice, you know, basically from that point from the conventional perspective given up for dead you know, you’re if you’re going to hospice best, probably the last step before the funeral home, unfortunately. So Dr. McDaniel spoke to this man agreed to start taking the saccharides and then sure enough, within a year you can see the one year change in the in the tumor size. And then eventually he ended up leaving hospice cancer free. So this was the kind of thing it was one of my early learning experiences about how these polysaccharides work and you know what they really do in terms of, again, not treating disease. I mean, we never talked about the polysaccharides in the context of treating disease. That’s the pharmacological model or paradigm. We’re talking about providing the raw materials to the sales to allow them to function properly to allow the cells all the way up to the entire body to heal itself to repair, restore, and heal itself, returning it to homeostasis and that’s really what this is all about. You know, much like any anything else that we would do in nutrition, but, but due to the effectiveness of these polysaccharides time and time again, I just, it just I haven’t seen anything else like it, folks, nothing else in my my view of nutrition. White really compares to the effectiveness of these polysaccharides but if any of you have had either a direct family member or close friend or someone else that you’ve been wherever maybe you’re treating patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia, you know how devastating and horrible this disease is. I mean, it’s really just incredible how many people I think we’re now up to about 6 million Americans with Alzheimer’s and then another eight with different types of dementia. Of course, you can see the estimated numbers for for what’s going on globally. And then the not only the disease itself, I mean, in terms of, you know, no consensus about what causes it certainly no consensus about how to treat it. It’s now I think, the sixth leading killer of Americans, it’s the number one killer of the British, and then look at the numbers for what it’s costing. I mean, the formal and informal costs are just staggering. I mean, we’re talking about you know, roughly a half a trillion dollars per year so not only is it devastating to the person who gets the disease and then of course, the caregiver gets completely worn out and sick because of how tragically difficult the caregiving for someone with Alzheimer’s and dementia is. But then the you know, the cost of financial implications of this disease are also just terrible. So we were fortunate we got a gift from a family that had lost four family members to Alzheimer’s disease, and they heard Dr. McDaniel talking about some of his anecdotal responses and in Alzheimer’s and dementia and Parkinson’s and so, the wife of this family who approached him about donating some money to do research and the only or real only stipulation was to make sure that it was conducted in people with Alzheimer’s disease. So we ran this study at University of Miami in conjunction with a local center that has a lot of Alzheimer’s patients. We gave them we call it generically our poly Manos multinutrient complex because it’s not just the aloe vera and the rice brand, but it’s got several other things in it as well. Again, when you think of nutrition being more like analogous to a shotgun where you know you you’re wanting to spread out a lot of different nutrients, phytonutrients molecules, elements cofactors metabolites, compared to the farm called pharmacological model where it’s, you know, one chemical for one mechanism of action for one symptom of a disease completely different models here. So, we decided to enroll moderate to severe severity of disease, we wanted to really help the very sick people we looked at cognitive function, every quarter we looked at cognitive function five times. Unfortunately, our budget was limited so we only had enough money to draw the line at baseline in 12 months. We had them take two and a half grams four times per day. And then we had just a very large battery of biomarkers that I’ll just mention some of the most significant ones given the shortness of time and by the way, I’m also happy to share. So we’ve published so far three papers from the Alzheimer’s study. And as I mentioned, we just submitted a fourth one this past week. And then we published two papers on the MS study and we’re going to publish a third one from it’ll be like a sister paper that don’t really have much time to get into but anyway, if anyone’s interested in any of the papers that I’m discussing, as, as well, I’m happy in addition to sending you the presentation, I can send you all of our papers as well, so no problem there. So with cognitive function, particularly in people with dementia, the eight s cog or the eight ask is widely considered to be the gold standard for assessing cognition and people with dementia. And if you’re not familiar with this particular oops, are with this particular assessment, it’s it goes down. Going down is a good thing. So it’s 70 you’re basically a vegetable and zero you’re you have perfect cognition. And you can see over the 12 month period, it did go up a little bit at three months. It worsened by about a point and a half at three months, but then it continued improving at six and then at nine and 12 months, we had clinically and statistically significant improvements in cognitive function. Now, for us this this was, I mean, beyond anything we expected. We were optimistic and hopeful that the study would be positive. But the fact that we could show clinically and statistically significant improvement in cognitive function for us was just truly truly remarkable. And it it really validated and, and was consistent with many of the anecdotal reports that I got from caregivers and even staff members calling me as we were conducting this study about, you know, how subject two or three or whatever was, you know, talking and doing things that he or she had done in some cases for many years. So, that was just a beautiful finding that this first paper was published 10 years ago, I still haven’t even seen anything that compares to this. I hope that doesn’t sound too arrogant or egotistical, but just really nothing else like this in the literature. So that’s on the clinical side, then on the physiological and, and biochemical side. Again, these are just the most significant findings but looking at the the improvement in the CD for the CDA ratio. That was a very nice finding of global or overall immune function, TNF alpha and VEGF, those are, you know classically looked at in cardiovascular disease and cancer. Our paper was probably the first paper to publish this kind of information in Alzheimer’s, at least to our knowledge, and we were showing a lowering of inflammation and then the CD 14 cells and marker of adult stem cells, they improved by just under 300%, from baseline to 12 months. So when you put all that together, you’ve got improving immune function, lowering of inflammation, increasing adult stem cell production, and then improving cognition. I mean, the only thing that makes sense to us was without having money or budget to do imaging and the study was that these, these adult stem cells were migrating out of the brain to basically engage in neuroplasticity, which, you know, 20 years ago, I’d have been laughed out of the room for making such a statement. But now neuroplasticity, certainly, in some parts of the brain is is considered to be true and we know that the brain has capacity to regenerate itself. So to us, this was the only thing that made sense to be able to explain why some, you know why we got the data that we that we collected in cognition, otherwise, it doesn’t make any sense when people started remembering things and having their cognition come back. So that first paper was really remarkable. We published two additional papers after that, and over the next few years, we really focused on these next few papers on brain derived neurotrophic factor although
38:26
when you looked at the change in BDNF, it wasn’t wasn’t statistically significant. It did go up a little bit 11 12% but we looked at some of the relationships with with BDNF and and both the cognitive function measures and then the immune function measures. And we had discovered you know, as we were publishing our first paper and then continuing to read more literature that there were other papers publishing about BDNF importance and you know, certainly memory and neuroplasticity and and all these different functions within the brain and so we we felt like it was worth it to look at BDNF in our population and see if we could show anything similar. Again, unfortunately, the change in BDNF didn’t really do that much it went up by here on say about 11%. Over the 12 month period, the pro BDS actually went down just a little bit. It really was, again, insignificant. But then one of the things that we had done in a previous study in HIV was we looked at cognitive function in a big sample of people with HIV. And we discovered that with with people who have been HRV, if we split their data between those that were higher than 5000 pica grams, and those were under 5000, there was a distinct demarcation in cognitive function and we stopped with HIV. So we decided to do the same thing in this study in people with Alzheimer’s. And then sure enough, if you look at all of these different immune function markers, there is clearly a difference here. And so the more BDNF you have, the more it’s related typically to better cognitive function across all these different measures that we looked at. So that was very interesting. And then and then the second paper was second of the two BDNF papers, a third paper or all way. Same thing. Again, we showed that all these different immune function markers were different in folks that had more than 5000 Pika grams of BDNF. So those were two, you know, kind of secondary papers, we were a bit more optimistic or hopeful that BDNF would be able to help explain more from a mechanistic perspective why the polysaccharides were so beneficial to these folks with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s, but it kind of left us you know, still guessing a little bit again, not really knowing exactly for sure what BDNF role is, but it seems to be at least a little bit indicated that you know, it has some value there. But again, a lot of these responses and effects that we showed, mostly for the first time 10 years ago and up until today, and still stuff that we just submitted recently. It’s also very exciting because I believe we have more results that we republishing for the first time in people with Alzheimer’s so we were just really excited. And again, it’s one thing to to conduct science and feel like you’ve done a good job. But when you can help people and actually improve people’s lives to me, that’s really you know, ultimately what the goal is here. So we were just very excited and encouraged by all these results. And then in the OMS study, it was a very similar design. It was putting the people on the the dietary supplement for a 12 month period. These were people who had had MS for an average of 12 years. By the way I didn’t mention it but the the average age of the people in the Alzheimer’s study was 79.9 years of age. So these were very old, very sick people. The people with MS were quite a bit younger but they had still had MS for quite a while and then we published two articles from this study so far, as I mentioned. Now the first paper, we looked at infections and immune immune function and inflammation. One of the things that I learned as I was conducting this study was that the number one killer of people with MS is actually some type of infection. So if you look here at baseline, the average person has just under eight infections, and then 12 months down to 2.5. So we were really impressed and encouraged by this. The fact that you could not only help save these folks lives, but also keep them out of the hospital because MS is obviously much like Alzheimer’s disease are very expensive and costly disease to take care of people and so to be able to cut down on the number of infections over that 12 month intervention was really impressive for us. And then, as you would expect some of these inflammatory and immune function markers were not certainly not the same as Alzheimer’s, but again, showing an overall improvement in immune function. And I go into quite a bit of explanation about how some of these, like il two il one beta EGF, how they all interact with each other and we do a nice job of explaining how these changes appear. To be, you know, significant for folks within NASA and being able to really kind of counteract this notion of auto immunity, which I think maybe gets thrown around a little bit too much. But the FAA S CD 95 cd 34 I mean, that was a very nice increase at the 12 month. Period, showing an overall improvement in immune function. So all that information was really encouraging to us. And then much like the A Das is the gold standard for assessing cognition and dementia studies depends, is pretty much the gold standard for assessing functional assessment. In in people with MS. So looking at all these, all these scales of the of the fans.
43:55
You can see that for the most part over this 12 month period, and in this case, increasing scores are better. So all of these were except for the family, social well being and emotional well being was we could say mildly significant. All of these were very significant. So again, showing all kinds of improvements in mobility symptoms, general contentment, thinking and fatigue, and then the total excuse me, the total score. So very nice findings here in terms of functional assessment. And then these two these two EQ their overall markers of quality of life, VDI as the Beck Depression Inventory, and then the H CDs. That was a homemade scale that we use at the clinic, just kind of a very large and broad symptom scale. Again, all these wildly statistically significant and we had a lot of nice anecdotal responses from the subjects as well from being able to, you know, share with us some of the things that were that were happening in their lives in terms of in terms of being more functional, being less depressed, being having a better mood. And being able to care for themselves a lot better. So again, just very, very nice findings from this study as well. So in conclusion, as I mentioned, you know, where we’re talking about immunomodulation is kind of being the key to all this, really, when you think about a human modulation and how it impacts all the other major organ systems and then ultimately leading to the clinical side where it’s either improving cognitive function and people with Alzheimer’s or improving functionality and quality of life and people with MS. I mean, we’re just talking about really, really nice, nice effects and nice findings that we that we published in our studies. And then you know, just in general, I mean, when you think of what we do with nutrition, generally you have no known adverse effects, nothing interacting with medications, certainly nothing with better nutrition, or other nutrients, no hypo responsiveness. In other words, you know, you basically want to take polysaccharides for life. I mean, you don’t have to have a health challenge to have to be able to benefit from these things. I mean, I’ve been on this formula myself for over 10 years. And I don’t I don’t ever hope to have Alzheimer’s or MS or anything of the sort but helping my immune system stay modulate modulated and surveillance and keeping my inflammation low is a big part of this. So, again, I’m pretty easily convinced at this point that these allo polysaccharides are definitely signaling mechanisms for the immune system and certainly capable of immunomodulation and then shifting gears here to the rice brand side of things. So we ran three clinical trials here. You can see the first one in healthy adults. And then the second one, the third one simultaneously, we’re running with people with HIV, and people with nacworld So what’s interesting about this particular rice bran is that it’s been hydrolyzed by Shri Toki mushroom enzyme. So, because these polysaccharides are so complex and so difficult to completely graphically characterize this by no means is, is complete or 100% accurate but what we think is going on here in the hybridization process or the hydrolysis process, is that the molecular weight is lowered and so much like the aloe polysaccharide, the, the Ricebran polysaccharide also becomes a signaling mechanism, the immune system so, this company that I work with in Japan that makes this hydrolyzed rice bran they had conducted a lot of research in different parts of Asia, particularly in Japan and they were looking to expand their footprint here in the United States. And when I met them through barber inlay, the other person that I acknowledged dies, acknowledged in my in my in the first thing I talk, when you look at, you know, what they were trying to accomplish, they really wanted to see, okay, well, we’ve published some stuff in Japan and the Philippines and Korea, but we want to have a bigger footprint here in the United States. And that was, again, just you know, me being in the right place at the right time to develop this relationship with the spouse but we started out really, you know, we wanted to we were wanting to do kind of like a safety study, not so much accuracy, but really just to be able to publish our first paper to say, well, you know, it doesn’t really have any adverse impact on the liver and the kidneys and we’re also gonna look at cytokines and growth factors. Oh, by the way, we’re also going to look at natural killer cell cytotoxicity. So we, we had actually split the study into two groups, one gram per day, versus three grams per day. And of course, these were based on work that they had already previously done and this was a very short term study baseline for eight hours, seven days, 30 days and 60 days. And we actually published two papers from this first study. The non clinical paper that we published was more of a methodology paper that my colleague in the lab to tell you more about, but anyway, it was based on some new techniques and flow cytometry at that time, but But anyway, it was interesting looking at these data, because when we looked at this natural killer cell cytotoxicity data for the first time, and you see one gram per day in blue and three grams per day in red. There is no statistical difference in either route between these two curves. So in other words, basically, one grant per day had no difference in effect, compared to three grams per day. But what was fascinating to us, was that if you see this value here at baseline, it goes up a little bit at 40 hours and then it peaks at one week. And then it basically shuts off and goes back down. We didn’t actually move it below below baseline at 30 and 60 days. So we thought about it for a minute. Probably more than a minute, but at least a few days, if not a little longer, and we thought wow, you know, like this is amazing. Like this graph is like perfect true immunomodulation in the short term, meaning that remember these were all healthy people, no diabetes, no answer, no heart disease, no HIV, you know, nothing of the sort. otherwise healthy people put the rice brand into the diet. The natural killer cells turn on the side cytotoxicity goes up. At one week it peaks it says okay, there’s no there’s no virus. There’s no you know, major transformed cell Hu here and it shuts the mechanism off. I mean, to us, this was like, perfect, true immunomodulation and this the value here, remember you can you can put these two groups together, the value at one week was statistically higher than all other times. So again, just like perfect, true immunomodulation over this 60 day period. The cytokines and growth factors were very similar to the ones that we looked at, in all of our studies with with Alzheimer’s and MS as well. And same thing here going on you have this lowering of inflammation according to TNF alpha and il six, you have a nice uptake and MCP one which is the cancer Cancer Surveillance marker. And then again vgn V EGF going down, as well. Over that 60 day period. So this really, really nice findings. All of the liver and kidney markers were also within normal limits. So a very beautiful study, a very elegant study showing this really nice amino modulation profile. And then next here is the data from the Knakal study. So we have one gram per day for the treatment group and then in this study, we did use a placebo and we looked at people over a 90 day period. So again, these these rice brand studies are much more shorter duration compared to the Aloevera studies, but baseline 45 and 90 days were three time points here. So ALP, obviously one of the significant liver markers,
51:44
showing a very nice decrease in the Ricebran group. This is all the data that you will look at going forward will be I think actually are all three. The hydrolyzed rice bran is not I’m sorry, just for these two because the first one was not a placebo. But excuse me, I’m getting thinking of tempting things at the same time here. The rice bran group is in blue and the placebo group is in red. So this will be true for all the graphs going forward from here. So again, you can see an ARP a nice, statistically significant decrease over the 90 day period and the Ricebran group continues to go up in the placebo group. So that was a very nice initial finding the snowfields again, going up in the Ricebran group very nice finding here and then going down in the placebo group nanoscience again going up now, you know, thinking about immunomodulation. Again, this is a 90 day period. So again, you can kind of argue in a way that this is maybe a bit of immuno stimulation and I think we pointed this out in our in our discussion section in the paper. But again, you know, because this is a 90 day period, this was the kind of response that we were hoping for to be able to show that the rice brand is a signaling mechanism for all these things in the context of people with this very severe liver disorder, the the placebo group did go up at 45 days as well and then leveled off in 45 to 90 days but the statistical significance was in the the Ricebran group. And then in the neutrophils, it’s going down which is good because this il 17 marker, which is secreted or I’m sorry, neutrophils secrete il 17 This was a nice binding because this is actually showing that if you’re if you’re at the Knakal stage before you get to Nash or fibrosis, or certainly liver cancer, you actually want to try to calm down this inflammation so il 17 Being an inflammatory marker, it was nice showing that within the Ricebran group, were able to turn down the percentage of neutrophils and at the same time, reduce the level of IOC 17. So that was a very nice finding and then probably the most clinically significant finding even though it wasn’t statistically significant was that within the Ricebran group, we actually got GGT, this gamma glutamyl transferase marker down below 50, which is considered clinically significant. But then look what was going on in the placebo group. It continued going up over that 90 day period. So this is a really, really nice finding here because this essentially is telling us that you get the the subjects or the patients value below 50. And now you’re shutting off this relationship of increasing the risk going from natural to something far, far worse, typically ending up in cancer. So to be able to get that GGT value below 50 was just a really nice finding for us, even though again, it was a little bit below statistical significance, but the clinical significant finding here was was very valuable. And then again, ILA teen went down even though it had this sort of weird uptick from 45 to 90 days, but overall it still went down and that was considered consistent with a couple of previous animal studies looking at a model of liver disease in humans and knees and the rats, and it was it was consistent with with some of this previous research so this was, this was really nice as well being able to shut down some of that inflammation. And then finally, the last study that I’ll talk about here is the HIV study. So compared to the Knakal study, where we only do one gram per day, we thought, given the severity of HIV and you know, the toxicity associated with the antiretroviral medications and the interaction between the disease itself with the side effects of the medication we felt like for this study, we wanted to give give these subjects a higher dose, so we put them on three grams per day of the rice brand and this was over a six month period. So this was a bit longer than the two previous studies in in rice bran and so here’s CD four here are here are helper helper cells. So we’re showing basically in both groups, no change 3% Change in the in the rice brand group and about a 2% change in the placebo group. Now, even though that’s not statistically different, you potentially could argue that bioburden actually is keeping the city or helping to keep the city board at this particular level. It’s a pretty weak argument, in my opinion, because again, it’s such a small change but nonetheless, you know, it’s, it’s something that you could at least consider, but where it really started to, you know, where we really started to see the significance of what was going on here was actually in the CDA cytotoxic sales. And so look at the difference here so you have a little bit of a change you know, about 5% change going on in the Ricebran group, where you have this very big change going on in the placebo group. So what that ultimately and that’s statistically significant between the two groups, but what that ultimately meant was this change in the CD for the CDA. ratio, which again, fell just short of statistical significance, but clinically significant. This was so so just, you know, exciting for us to be able to show this for the first time and the nutritional to our knowledge. I mean, we can’t we can’t find anything else, whether it’s, you know, vitamin D or curcumin or anything else out there that actually showed something like this. So looking at the CB CT and CT ratio ratio, and I had talked about this and its importance in the Alzheimer’s study previously, but especially for people with HIV. If that value drops below 1.0 It’s a it’s a very big problem and a lot of times the, you know, the physician will try to change the drug profile to get that ratio above 1.0. Because once it drops below 1.0 That’s where people become a greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, all these other metabolic things that people like HIV are getting just like the rest of the population is. But if you look at what happened over the six month period, it did go down in both groups at three months, but then it goes up over 1.0 at the six month period for the bioburden group. And then it goes it continues going down excuse me in the placebo group. So again, this was just a beautiful finding to us. And the idea that we could use a nutritional to get that CD for to CVA ratio above point 1.0 which is really, really exciting. And again, when you look at, you know the whole host of effects here, that’s that’s been demonstrated in our lab, and I mean, we’re just, you know, we’re just one little group of bandits, so to speak. I mean, people are working on aloe vera and rice bran all over the world. But just in terms of what we’ve shown at the University of Miami, we feel like you know, once again hydrolyzed rice bran is certainly
58:49
capable of true new modulation. And this you know, this interesting binding of this, the natural killer cell cytotoxicity is quite a bit different than what we showed with yellow hair, although it’s probably similar. But you know, much the same way. I mean, we’re talking about no adverse effects or certainly no known adverse effects, no interactive effects, no hypo responsiveness. So again, something that’s completely natural, and being able to, you know, help people with these very significant diseases and disorders is just something that’s this really powerful and so when you think about just a couple of final conclusions here, I mean, in my mind, you know, I again, it doesn’t matter to me if you’re plant based vegan all the way to, you know, somebody who’s carnivore or keto or Mediterranean you’re not getting these polysaccharides in your diet. I mean, you’re certainly not getting them from aloe vera. You might be getting a little bit if you’re eating brown rice every day, but if you’re like most of the world, who prefers the white rice, the rice bran has been stripped off the kernel. So white rice has none of these polysaccharides and so, to me, like when you look at the benefit of these polysaccharides compared to you know, certainly benefit to risk ratio, I mean, you know, that’s one that’s kind of a no brainer to me, that doesn’t that’s not even a comparison because there really is no risk of taking aloe and Ricebran polysaccharides so the benefit that you gain from them, and again, I’ve really focused pretty specifically on immune function immunomodulation and inflammation, you know, they’re, they’re those effects and those findings are very, very significant. again, there are lots of other mechanisms of actions that that are going on with these two glasses of polysaccharides. So to me, they’re, they’re very essential, and especially, you know, not for just people with any kind of a health challenge. But, you know, for people like me, and I’m sure many of you who want to prevent having serious health challenges in the first place. So, prevention is so part so much a part of my life and, you know, the message that I preach and also, you know, the idea that there is no one magic bullet I mean, it’s obvious that you have to eat well, you cannot just supplement to good health but you know, eating a solid diet. Again, I know that’s a controversial comment, depending on your philosophy and what you think is the right thing to do but taking your supplements and moving everyday exercising, I mean, they’re just, you know, there’s a holistic, comprehensive approach to this that really kind of eliminates the magic bullet theory but but that’s that’s pretty much what I’ll conclude with today. Again, here is my contact information, my email address, my phone number, if any of you would like to have a copy of this presentation, the articles we published, I’d be happy to share those with you and I’m just very thankful for your time today and thankful for Dr. Bourne, who introduced me to Dr. Clearfield and, and allowed me the opportunity to speak to you guys so I’m happy to answer any questions by email or phone call ever you’d like to communicate. I’d be more than happy to do that. So thank you again for your time. It’s been my pleasure and honor to be here with you guys and see.
1:02:19
Hi, John,
1:02:23
its Shelton Shostack. Hey, good. Could you mention that testimonial you showed me the the other day talking about that just to give you you know, take care of the people on the program in the Zoom program. An idea of how people then responding to your
1:02:45
product. Are you talking about the Parkinson’s patient? Absolutely. Okay. So,
1:02:53
again, you know, remembering that we did we have not run a clinical trial in Parkinson’s at this point, but, but certainly you know, when you look at it from a perspective of the relationship and neurodegeneration with you know, Alzheimer’s and Ms. It’s obviously a very similar thing. And so, I have a lady who’s been on my product daily brain here for she just passed the four week mark. And she’s had she’s 76. She’s had Parkinson’s for 15 years. Her most significant complaint has been very, very severe pain, neuropathy in her wrist and ankles. And within this four week period, she’s had a major reduction in pain. She was not able to show I don’t even think I didn’t tell you this year as I just learned this a couple of days ago, she hasn’t. She also has RA in her hands pretty badly as well. A lot of swelling particularly, particularly in her thumbs. And so she’s had a market reduction of the swelling in her lungs. And then her son just she sent me a picture a couple of nights ago showing that she can finally actually straighten out her hand for the first time that she’d not been able to do for like six or seven years. And so this is all happening again, just within a few a few weeks of being on the yellow polysaccharides the dietary I’m sorry, the daily brain here. So that’s the kind of stuff that I am fortunate to hear about literally, not necessarily daily, but certainly weekly of people with all sorts of health challenges they get on their polysaccharides and then their body just responds so well. She’s clearly a super responder I mean, usually I don’t expect people to have such a great response within the first 30 days. But there are, in my experience, probably 20 to 30% of people who will have a pretty immediate response like she has but I mean she’s been on every drug regimen you can imagine nothing’s been able to help her pain. And nothing’s been able to calm down her inflammation like daily brain here so she and her children are just very happy and very pleased with her doctor is so far.
1:04:56
Okay, I’ll go ahead and start reading some of the questions. The first question is from Melbourne. Are these available in full script or whole script?
1:05:12
And people keep asking me that I have not broken into their network and if anyone has a contact or can help me get into that realm, I’d love to do it. I actually met with one of their reps at April Rin back in Hollywood in last year and I talked to this lady, she was like, Oh, this sounds great. I’d love to, you know, introduce us to some people and then of course I got crickets from her so
1:05:37
okay, I’ll follow up with Doc he’s dealt I believe with both. So what what do you think about Polycom arsenal? I’m not familiar with it. What is it? A friend do you want to come on board and talk about it?
1:06:01
He might not be available. That’s fine. Okay, Melvin’s next question is do you get the same effect if you take aloe or aloe supplement?
1:06:11
Absolutely not. You have to get the extract of the aloe gel. Which can be other things besides the Iceman and or the acidulated polysaccharides. So you want and I’m glad I’m glad I should have said that in my talk. But I’m glad that was a question because a lot of times people will ask me well, can I just get the same effect by taking you know aloe vera gel now? Absolutely not.
1:06:33
He always he always ask the best questions is the right. Okay for your glutes sensitive patients. No question about it. Okay, how do those who are on carnivore diet get their polysaccharides? No. Okay.
1:06:55
Well, they, I mean, you know, two and a half grams scoop of, you know, daily bring here a plant based product. I mean, it shouldn’t be too interruptive to the carnivore diet. So I would I mean, you know, again, without patting my back too much, I would say to you know, try daily brain gear because, in my opinion, I’ve got the best product again. I hope that doesn’t sound too arrogant. I apologize if it does. But I feel like I’ve got something here that’s really a difference maker and even for carnivore people if you’re okay with taking a few grams per day of some plant material, then it shouldn’t be that disruptive to your diet.
1:07:34
Agree. Another question from Melvin. Are fruit slash food sugars, not good for cancer patients? Well,
1:07:45
you know again, I always kind of laugh when I get questions like this because I’m talking about just a few grams per day. I mean, I’ve got I’ve got people with, you know, stage three and stage four cancer taking 1012 scoops a day, so you’re talking, you know, somewhere between around 20 grams per day of this material. I mean, really, how, you know, what kind of, you know, what kind of black comic effect or what kind of cancer feeding effects you think that’s going to have on somebody that’s, you know, dealing with active cancer. I mean, to me, it just got to use some logic here. And what you’re thinking about when you’re talking about amounts, I mean, we’re not talking about eating hundreds of grams of carbohydrate, we’re talking about, you know, 1020, maybe 30 grams per day of these polysaccharides. It’s a whole different animal. It’s not like shoveling bananas and apples and peaches and you know, man goes down your throat. I hope I don’t, I hope I don’t sound like I’m being dismissive or you know arrogant about this. It’s just, you gotta gotta think about these things logically, when you this kind of yelling, you’re it’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. He’s probably sad. polysaccharides are not, you know, these are very special compounds. Again, I’m talking about very specific sources from aloe vera and rice bran. We’re not talking about again, you know, bananas and apples and pineapples and mangoes. Very, very different. You
1:09:19
agree, agree? Okay. Dr. Burgess said. Great talk. Thanks. What about the effects on a one C and blood sugar and diabetics in particular? Great question.
1:09:30
So I have a lot of people with diabetes taking daily brain care having great responses to it. We actually I say we document Daniel and I we have this amazing dataset of people with diabetes at an Air Force base in Texas. Unfortunately for us, we cannot get access to the data because of you know, the DoD policies and whatnot. But there’s there was a physician there who was running kind of his own. It was more like an internal study. It wasn’t an IRB approved study, but he was tracking patients, you know, both military folks and their spouses. And the people who had diabetes that were taking the polysaccharides just had much better glucose control and lowering of the ABA, HB a one C, lowering of insulin resistance, I mean, just incredible results. Again, I wish I had access to that data set because I guarantee I could publish a really nice paper out of it, but yes, it’s very good for people with anything related to diabetes.
1:10:31
Okay, Janet Crowley said great presentations, and thank you Brad’s Stoker’s said polysaccharides it’s a whole different animal, or plant. Yes,
1:10:43
exactly.
1:10:48
You know, I ask which Air Force Base you’re talking about? I
1:10:53
don’t, I don’t remember which one. I think it’s the one in
1:10:58
San Antonio. Oh, wow. Okay. All right. So
1:11:05
I’m almost positive it’s in San Antonio, but I don’t remember the name of the Air Force Base. Is the region is the research project still ongoing? Now this was many years ago, unfortunately. Okay. Any follow ups? No, because the doctor Purcell the physician there he he was a contractor and he was not a military guy. And when he when his contract ended he he stopped working at the base.
1:11:31
Understandable. Okay, are there any other questions that are missing? I don’t think so.
1:11:39
I want to I want to add in one more thing for John. Awesome. What about for let’s say autism or for children? Or let’s say with even you know, under two year old baby with severe illnesses, also for COVID. What has been you know, for long haul COVID What have you seen anything in that regard?
1:12:10
Thank you for that question. Shell. So, yes, Dr. Daniel has some previous experiences with kids with autism. He’s me and also with fetal alcohol syndrome, and has had some really nice responses. That was actually that is actually one of the areas where we were before I left academics full time we tried to get funding to run a trial and on autism, we never could get it. Unfortunately for us but I am in contact with a physician who has a clinic of all type, autism children, autistic children, and he’s interested in running a trial there. So I’m just waiting on him to get back to me to talk about you know, using some folks they’re getting parental support of rental consent, and and getting some children on daily Brank air for autism we we think it will be successful as far as you know any other thing and kids I’ve got several clients currently who have teenagers with ADD ADHD, you know, just this general attentional problem that so many kids have today. They’re definitely getting better. As I like to tell people, our own daughter, we have a three year old our daughter I started her when we started her on solid foods, I would have actually done it her first day of life but because of the powder is a little bit thick. It wouldn’t go through her nipple and so I couldn’t get it to her until she was old enough to suck on a nipple that was big enough for the pattern to go through. But I started her on this product. At six months of age. She just turned three a couple of months ago. Just this little girl is the smartest little three year old you’ll ever meet in your life. And I’m not saying that because she’s my kid, but she’s truly is a really really sharp cookie. Her language and comprehension skills are amazing. So I share that note because a lot of times people think well it’s okay for children but it’s not okay for I’m sorry. It’s okay for adults, but it’s not okay for children. I haven’t my wife taking it the whole time she was pregnant it’s fine for pregnant women as well. So there’s really no issue there from in my opinion cradle to grave in terms of being able to help people and then finally with this long haul COVID brain fog you know other cognitive issues. I do have several people that have had very serious COVID complications, taking daily brain care and having a resolution in in those symptoms as well. So yes, that’s another area I’d love. If we had funding to do a trial given the you know how it’s so on everyone’s mind today that it would be really fascinating. To look at that in a clinical trial, but certainly anecdotally, I’m having good luck with that as well.
1:14:52
How can we also
1:14:53
ask about you know, when people have a stroke or you know, brain injury you know, auto accidents, whatever can be looked into that.
1:15:08
Yeah, so I have a I have a lady who’s, she had a stroke several months ago or her position as a friend of mine. She told her about daily brain here she’s now I’ve been on daily break here for about a month and she’s having a really nice response to her symptoms and stroke as well. So yes, it’s another good area to help people.
Bill Clearfield 1:15:31

We’ll do that too. So, okay, how expensive is this? So, the powder, whatever the
1:16:38
daily bring here and a powder is $64 A bottle that’s 60 doses and the capsules is $40 A bottle, and that’s four capsules a dose, so there’s 120 capsules in a bottle, so that’s 30 doses.

Bill Clearfield 1:17:26
Okay. Anybody else have any comments questions? Dr. Lewis, I can’t thank you enough. For your time, great presentation and you can’t you came highly recommended as a speaker beforehand that I’d have to say that that they were you were under under sold. So Oh, wow. So so thank you so much. And we’re we’re always always happy to have you know, somebody of your your your character and quality and you know, on on our on our webinar, we’re very humbled by your presence. So we’ll, we’ll stay in touch. We’ll want you to come back some time. You know, little little words rose down to Word. We’re here every Tuesday night. We started five Pacific eight, eight Eastern. We’ve been doing this for two and a half years. I have our website there aos er d.com/webinars There’s a lot of material on there. Is that we have over two and a half years worth of of lectures and seminars and you name it. So I think I got the right Dr. Lewis nutrition.com. I hope I got that right. Yeah. And any, any any wrap up any summary. Something to take let the folks you know leave the leave leave the theater with
1:18:55
Well, first of all, Dr. Clearfield, thank you for all those kind words. That’s very humbling. I really appreciate it. And I you know, I always I always try to do my best when I do these kinds of lectures because people are taking their time out to listen to me and I always want to be appreciative and respectful of other people’s time. So I really put a lot of effort into this. But to me, kind of like what I said earlier, I think there is the opportunity not only to help people with these terrible tragic health challenges, but also to prevent those kinds of things in the first place. And so prevention to me is just as important as treatment and I always tell the caregiver or the parent or the grandparent or whatever, you know, some existing relationship Don’t forget about yourself, you know, like, you need good nutrition too. And, and these polysaccharides are so special and you’re not getting them from the diet. So as much as we know you cannot supplement your way to a good, good health outcome. You still have to eat well, but getting these polysaccharides and you know, again, you don’t have to eat 100 grams per day. It only takes a few 100 milligrams to a couple of grams depending on what your condition is. It’s just so important to get these everyday. So to me, this is no different than having a meal and brushing my teeth and taking a shower and shaving and all the other things that you do in your life. It’s just so important to get these polysaccharides every day so right. So you know just making these a regular habit is just to me like gold. I mean, it just can’t You can’t do much better for
1:20:27
your health. Okay, great.
Bill Clearfield 1:20:34
