Sisco Funeral Home, Inc. "Colonel Joe" Hart ( February 19, 1921 - May 23, 2014 )

Francis Joseph Hart, aka Colonel Joe, 93, of Pea Ridge passed away peacefully at home on May 23rd. He was well known around the area for his strong opinions and his frequent contributions on local radio, particularly about topics related to government activities and his patented "Harts Dietary Procedure". A decorated war hero, Colonel Joe, enlisted in the military during WWII as a minor; beginning his career as a mechanic and working his way up through the ranks and becoming a B17 Bomber pilot. He flew 29 missions over Germany and was shot down on his final mission. He spent a year in a Nazi Prisoner of War camp. In January of 1945, he left the camp on foot as part of the infamous Death March in the midst of one of the worst blizzards in history. During the course of the expedition, he aided fellow American soldiers as well as the Nazi guards as many succumbed to the affects of the weather and the dysentery that plagued so many. Colonel Joe received many awards and commendations during his illustrious career including the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Air Medal with Leaf Clusters, and several others. After the war he became a test pilot for Boeing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, certifying new planes for delivery to the Air Force, including the B47 Strategic Jet Bomber. He then went on to work on quality control for the Titan ICBM launch sites. After retiring from the military; he worked for Martin Marietta in Denver, Colorado where he was a Quality Control coordinator for the Lunar Lander. Upon retirement, he moved to Pea Ridge where he began a quest to determine the cause of the untimely death of his beloved poodle. After a significant amount of research, he learned that the dog's death was likely due to a dietary

phenomenon. His research also led led him to the discovery of a chemical in plants that he believed to have natural chemotherapeutic properties. He applied and received three patents for the chemical as a cancer fighting agent, about which he wrote the book, "Harts Dietary Procedure". Throughout his retirement, he was always going out of his way to help others with no expectation for recognition or anything in return. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lewis D Hart and Minnie B. Bauch; two brothers and three sisters. Colonel Joe is survived by his two sons, Mike Hart of Cypress, Texas, Pat (Sheri) Hart of El Centro, California; a daughter, Toni (Ron) Isliefson of Lakeview, Minnesota and a granddaughter Krystal Marie. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are by Sisco Funeral Home in Pea Ridge.

This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/006,785, filed Nov. 15, 1995. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to oxalic acid or oxalate

compounds, nutritional Supplements, natural or processed foods, beverages, and methods of treatment utilizing oxalic acid or oxalate compounds, Vitamin B6, vitamin C, alcohol, calcium, and/or foods, nutritional Supplements, beverages, and the like containing one or more of these compounds. The story begins with two toy poodles, Turk and Taka. These animals lived a normal house life. Except for the occasional trip or walk to the nearby reservoir, their territory was the house and backyard. AS young pups they were full of energy and, of course, very spoiled. Habits, mostly bad ones, were easily formed, Such as eating people food, Some of which, according to a veterinarian, would not hurt them. Turk became fond of SNICKERS(R) brand candy bars, espe cially the Small bite-size kind, and also carrots and beets, both of which are appearing in Some commercial dog foods today. During this time, Turk's owner, the present applicant and inventor, was doing a great deal of traveling, averaging one trip a week, and he always kept a small SNICKERS(R) bar

15

him about oxalates. The chemist Said that an oxalate is a

compound found in trees, mainly oaks. The owner's curi osity was running high, and as Soon as he could break away from work, he went Straight for a dictionary. Oxalate is defined as a Salt or ester of Oxalic acid, and the acid

near the front door in case he returned home without one.

Another one of Turk's favorite treats was the small soybean crackers in oriental cocktail mix, which Turk's owner ate

constantly when he was home. When Turk was about a year and six or seven months old, Turk began to slow down. Turk's eagerness to play left him, and his appetite diminished except for the little treats mentioned above. Turk was drinking much more water and had frequent accidents in the house, especially at night. Turk's color changed from a parfaittinge to a Solid white, and just before his death, to a dull grayish-white. When Turk began to vomit occasionally after eating or drinking, Turk's owner became concerned and took Turk to the Veterinarian. The examination revealed nothing, and the Veterinarian diagnosed Turk as having indigestion and gave

35

45

Turk Some medicine. Turk's condition worsened, and So Turk was returned to the veterinarian. Blood and urine

Samples were taken, and test results revealed that Turk's urine was watery, but otherwise all right. The blood however, showed a high white cell count, and the Veterinar ian thought there might be an infection and prescribed pills. One Single pill brought on violent Vomiting. Turk's owner Stopped giving Turk the pills and Started Turk on amoxicil

50

lin.

Turk's condition worsened, so Turk was taken to the

animal hospital center where they determined Turk's kid neys were failing. Turk was put on an IV due to Severe dehydration. The doctors stated that they could not treat Turk unless Turk's owner could tell them what poison or chemical Turk had ingested. For the next several days Turk's

60

owner went on a frantic Search for answers. Turk's owner

contacted a number of agencies for possible clues to the poisoning: Tri-County Health Department; two toxicologists with the EPA; the U.S. Corps of Engineers, who assured him that they test the reservoir daily for contaminants, and

2 UCLA and University of Illinois poison centers. Heavy rains would bring Standing water into the backyard, So Turk's owner tracked down the owners of a stable and a nursery that used to operate in the area before the houses were built, to See if they had used any type of toxic sprayS. Turk's owner contacted nurseries from which he had recently bought plants. Turk's owner even contacted the 3M Company, Since new carpeting with SCOTCHGARD(R) had been installed. Turk's owner asked all neighbors who had pets to find out if their pets had become Sick. Turk's owner also called veterinary clinics to find out if they had diagnosed similar caseS recently. He also Searched every Square foot of the house, garage, and Storage building looking for chemicals, especially antifreeze. Out of desperation, Turk's owner pleaded with the Veterinarians to list poisons that had the same fingerprint, and he would then choose one So Veterinarians could begin treatment. The Veterinarians declined. When blood began to appear in Turk's stool and vomit, and the kidneys had shut down, Turk was put to sleep. Turk's owner vowed that with God's help he would find out what had destroyed Turk. The attending veterinarian at the veterinary hospital was an organ Specialist and professor at Colorado State Univer sity. The Veterinarian extended his Sympathy and after a few other exchanges he informed Turk's owner that there is one Substance very damaging to renal tissue-oxalates. The owner drove directly to his company's quality control department lab where he cornered a chemist and questioned

65

definition refers back to the oak tree. Oxalic acid is further

defined as an industrial chemical used in textile and dye manufacturing as a bleaching agent. From the dictionary, he went to the chemical books, found Oxalic acid and got promptly lost in a maze of formulae and equations. The owner eliminated oxalates or oxalic acid from his mind as a

cause of Turk's death. What did stay in his mind was Turk's death, and again he renewed his vow to find the answer. He could not get Turk out of his thoughts, because every time he looked at Taka, Turk's brother, he wondered why Turk had died and not Taka'?

One outside activity of Turk's owner was, and still is, gardening. Naturally, he had a Subscription for the organic gardening magazine, and perused through every article. In the April 1986 edition he came across an article by Judith Benn Hurley, “Calcium From Your Garden,” and up popped the word oxalate. Imagine his Surprise, an industrial chemical, a poison, in a magazine on organic gardening. Once again the Search was on. The owner wrote a letter to MS. Hurley describing his research, the reason for it, and asked if she had anymore information on oxalates she could share. The reply he received provided him with more information than he could have hoped for. Her reply sent him to the library, to the Section containing books on nutrition. He read many Volumes and was amazed by the amount of information available on plant life and the effects of plant Vitamins on maintaining human life. His effort was rewarded when he found a volume Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis, 1965. It contains the perfect finger print of Turk's death. Chapter 19, page 239 states the following: When both vitamin B6 and magnesium are undersupplied, the kidneys are further damaged by Sharp crystals of Oxalic acid combined with calcium, and as much as

6,133,317 4 Benn Hurley. He explained to her that the reason her red cell count was low was because of her diet. She ate very little meat, a primary Source of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), did not drink much Soda pop, orange or pineapple juice (all high in citric acid), and only consumed alcohol in moderate quan tities. Her diet contained items high in Oxalic acid, like Spinach, her favorite Salad. The owner mentioned that in his

3 three-quarters of the kidney may be replaced by Scar tissue. Children with Oxalic acid kidney Stones fre quently have high blood pressure and kidneys So dam aged that they become progressively worse, causing death from kidney failure early in life. The owner's mind went back to information he had

gathered concerning the use of beagles in testing because their organs are more like those of a child than any other

research he had discovered there were three chemicals that

animal. How true the statements, “love them to death” and

would counteract the Oxalic acid-pyridoxine hydrochloride

also “kill them with kindness.” The owner believed that he

(vitamin B6), citric acid, and alcohol. He gave her a handful

had inadvertently killed Turk by feeding him candy bars, Soybean crackers, beets, carrots, and who-knows-what-else that might have been very high in oxalate, Oxalic acid or both. He believed that these snacks saturated Turk's system to a point where Turk's kidneys could no longer function. When that happened, the acid began to destroy renal tissue. AS the tissue was being destroyed, Turk's condition wors

of 50 mg vitamin B6 pills and Suggested she take one immediately and then one a day for the first week, and then one every other day. Three weeks later she told him that the doctor had just Scheduled her operation.

15

ened until other vital functions were affected. Turk's owner

also believed that Since oxalates and oxalic acid SuppreSS calcium, no healthy red blood cells were being produced. The blood in Turk's system had to have been totally satu rated with oxalic acid. When all the renal tissue was

destroyed, the kidneys shut down and Swelling began due to edema. There was no hope for recovery. Taka was not affected because he did not crave or eat

25

soybean crackers, beets or carrots, nor the SNICKERS(R) brand candy bars with peanuts. When the owner realized what caused Turk's death, he put Taka on an oxalate/oxalic acid-free diet. Some weeks after putting Taka on the diet, the color of Taka's coat, which had faded, began returning to normal. Knowing that a human could Suffer from an exceSS of Oxalates and Oxalic acid, the owner put himself on a Similar diet as well.

Several Significant events occurred beginning with the return of the color of Taka's coat while on the oxalate-free

35

diet. The owner began to watch for Signs in his own hair and noticed that his graying Seemed to have at least Slowed down. Since the owner was due for a physical, he checked into a clinic and Stated he had Some minor pain in his chest on the left Side where he had muscles torn in a car accident

bar meals loaded with oxalic acid. He had his wife imme

40

many years earlier. During the exam, the doctor decided to be safe and ordered an EKG. In prepping for the EKG, the nurse shaved his chest where the transducer cups would be placed, and then with a Small orbital Sander removed Some of the dead skin for better contact. Weeks after the exam

when the hair began growing out, it was black instead of gray or white. Many mornings before starting the oxalate-free diet, the owner would get out of bed with a dull backache, and occasionally it would really spasm when he would lean over the wash basin while brushing his teeth. He complained and Swore he would get a new mattress, believing it to be the cause of the backaches. By the end of the day the ache would be gone and out of mind. When the backaches Stopped, he realized it was his kidneys and knew it was the Soybean

45

50

55

crackers and nuts in the oriental mix and other related items

that had raised his oxalate level to the point it began bothering his kidneyS. After retirement, Turk's owner was planning to move and Some friends Stopped by to visit. One evening while having cocktails with the friends, they began talking about health and age, etc. One of the ladies mentioned she needed bypass Surgery, but it could not be Scheduled because her red blood cell count was low, and the doctors could not get it to rise, even though She was on a third medication. Turk's owner's research had paid off. He gave his organic gardening maga zine to the lady and urged her to read the article by Judith

Turk's owner had also noticed that he did not have the

recurring attacks of heart burn he had prior to changing his diet and taking Vitamin B6. He thought it a great discovery. Then, Turk's owner moved to Arkansas. His Stepdaughter who is married and was living nearby, worked at a local hospital. One day She began running a high fever in the range of 104-106, went home, and went straight to bed. The fever fell, and the next couple of days she returned to work only to have the fever return after a couple of hours. She went home and the cycle repeated. She mentioned this to a doctor in the emergency room and a Series of tests were ordered looking for a virus, an infection, even a tubular conception. Turk's owner became involved, because after listening to long, Sometimes whispered conversations between his wife and Stepdaughter, he asked what the trouble was. His wife explained what had happened and that the doctor was looking for Some type of urinary tract or vaginal infection, but there were no positive cultures. When he heard that the Stepdaughter experienced burning and irritation when urinating, he asked his wife why they did not think about diet. His Stepdaughter was eating primarily Salad

60

65

diately take a bottle of vitamin B6 pills to his stepdaughter with instructions to take two pills immediately, another one after twelve hours, and one a day after that for the next week. In two days her fever was gone, and she went back to work. After the third day all Symptoms were gone and She was back to normal as best they could ascertain. Other people who complained of back pain without having muscle or spine problems found relief after Turk's owner advised taking Vitamin B6. One day while drying off after a shower, Turk's owner noticed a mole-type growth on the inside of his right thigh. He had not noticed it before, and shortly after that, a growth began at the end of his right eyebrow near the bridge of his nose. AS the growth on the thigh became bigger, So did his curiosity. He picked at the growth until Some of it came off and it bled. Now curiosity turned to concern. A month later the growth on the thigh reappeared and the growth on the eyebrow grew larger. He would check both growths every day and they were always on his mind. He believes it was his obsession with Turk that guided his thoughts to Oxalic acid. This acid is readily available in foods people eat, So why would God put a substance in food He provided to Sustain life, if that Same Substance by assaulting the kidneys can kill life? It just did not make Sense. That question constantly ran through his mind begging to be answered. Night after night, hours were spent turning and tossing in restleSS Sleep, Searching and Searching for an answer. He had read every article in every magazine he could get his hands on about foods thought to help in the fight against cancer, antioxidants, free radicals, and anti-rust in the blood. One

night his mind Stopped on one particular item. It was a

6,133,317 S Sentence he had read about foods, and the importance they play in health and healing. “The acid in Strawberries is thought to help prevent prostate cancer.” Acid-there it was, that is the word that halted his mental computer. When he woke up, questions began running through his mind. If Oxalic acid would destroy healthy renal tissue, could it possibly destroy Sick tissue first? Is cancer not considered to

ascorbic acid (vitamin C), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), calcium, alcohol, resins, clays, and combina

tions thereof. Oxalic acid or oxalate blockerS also include 5

dairy products containing calcium, fruits, coconut, bever ages containing alcohol, ascorbic acid or citric acid, red meat or white meat of fowl containing pyridoxine hydrochloride, or other foods, nutritional Supplements or beverages containing alcohol, citric acid, ascorbic acid, pyridoxine hydrochloride, and combinations thereof. In accordance with the present invention, an “oxalic acid or oxalate blocker' is any mineral, chemical, compound, material, plant, food, beverage, additive, Supplement or the

wise reduces or eliminates the beneficial effect of Oxalic acid

be sick cells? Are these free radicals sick cells? What about

antioxidants? Are there really different types of cancer, or are they a similar type of Sick cell just in different parts of the body'? Why are there different types of chemotherapies? There were just too many questions. He had to go back and Start with his initial question. He asked a dear friend, a devout Christian, whether the Bible states that God put everything on earth that man needs? At the same time he went on a very high oxalic acid diet and avoided citric acid and reduced his intake of pyridoxines and alcohol to a minimum. His dear friend came back and Said she told her

Bible class of his request. They searched the Bible and noted three places that mention God providing for all of man's needs. What is significant is that articles describing food groups for cancer prevention, especially the vegetable groups, name those that have significant amounts of Oxalic

acid as per USDA Bulletin #11 (Table I). At this time he became convinced it was not the beta caroteine, the Vitamin

25

C, or anything else that was the cancer fighter-it was Oxalic acid. Once again he started asking himself questions. Would oxalic acid destroy sick cells before healthy cells? The only answer he could come up with is the affirmative. Hence, there is a need for an oxalic acid or oxalate

composition and method of treatment for warm blooded animals including humans and pets. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention, an Oxalic acid or oxalate composition and method of treatment of warm blooded animals including humans and pets is provided which includes at least one therapeutically effective form of Oxalic acid or oxalate for controlling, treating, or managing neoplasia, tumors, brain tumors, cancer, growths, and the like, for preventing the new growth of different or abnormal tissues, or for otherwise therapeutically treating warm blooded animals including humans and pets. The therapeu tically effective form of Oxalic acid or oxalate is any oxalic acid or oxalate which provides the beneficial effect and is Selected, for example, from the group of Oxalic acid in a free acid, ester, lactone or Salt form, oxalates including Sodium oxalate, a nutritional Supplement containing at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate, Oxalic acid dihydrate, anhy drous Oxalic acid, oxamide, oxalate Salts, natural or pro cessed foods including molds, plants or vegetables Such as parsley, chives, garlic, beets, carrots, Spinach and the like containing at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate, beverages, liquids or juices containing at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate, additives containing at least one form

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

After placing himself on a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the growth on Turk's owner's thigh began to disappear and shortly thereafter the growth on his eyebrow as well. Even tually both growths were completely gone. Another sign of the result of the high oxalic acid diet was the disappearance of a couple of polyps around the anal orifice. These had

Later, his own daughter informed him that her mother was having a lot of Stomach or digestive problems and was due for exploratory Surgery. During the operation they discov ered cancer in the abdominal cavity and removed all possible, estimated at 80w. There was cancer in the bladder, and they planned an extensive chemotherapy program. However, a specialty lab in California which received the tissue sample, determined it was a rare type of cancer, with no known treatment. His daughter, who was at her mother's Side constantly, agreed to try his Oxalic acid procedure. With his instruction and the help of a juicer, she prepared a mixture of carrots, Spinach, parsley, and chives. He Sug gested she try to get her mother to drink Six to eight ounces of the mixture at least three times a day. At the Start, her mother complained of the taste, So he Suggested she mix Some V8(R) juice with the mixture to enhance the flavor. This worked, and her mother began to drink the mixture. He felt that by having it in liquid form, more oxalic acid would enter her System more rapidly and begin to attack the Sick cells. On the third day after her mother began drinking the mixture, his daughter talked with the nurse who said, “In the morning when she took the patient's Vital Signs they were the best Since the patient had come to the hospital. Her temperature was down, blood pressure was down, and pulse rate was near normal.” In addition, the yellowish skin color began to change. Then, for reasons unknown, her mother stopped drinking the mixture. Shortly after that her mother passed away.

day and the canine was given four beef strips (approximately 25 grams) with 27% protein each evening. Thirty days later

45

the dose was dropped to 300 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 50 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 20 mg oxalic acid per day which was maintained till the animal was euthenized. The canine's mouth tumor had reduced in size in an eleven

50

month period. The Oxalic acid dihydrate was purchased from Swift Chemical Company, Rogers, Ark., and dissolved in water to use as a food additive to the canine diet.

Much to their Surprise, the dog Seemed to crave the carrots and parsley. The Setter's activity increased Steadily to the point where he actively competed with a four-year-old 55

a biopsy confirmed to be melanoma (skin cancer). The oral tumor was in an area easily examined. The oral tumor had been removed Several years ago, when it was confirmed as malignant, but it had grown back. The question was posed if a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet Supposedly works on humans, would it not also work on this dog? They felt

A canine urine oxalic acid Scale was calculated based on a Scale of 0–40 mg/L for a 70 kg human, and adjusting this for a 25 kg canine to have a desired range of about 0-14 mg/L. The canine was started on a new diet of approximately one and one-half pounds of dry dog food to 1 gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in about three ounces of water and mixed together and adding one-half can

tumor being measured and recorded by a veterinarian. The mouth tumor exhibited expansion or Swelling and reduction cycles. The canine's urine was tested for oxalate count and a result showed about 50 mg per liter of Oxalic acid. After about five months on this diet, the canine produced feces including mucous and intestinal membrane. Upon this happening all oxalic acid or oxalate addition to the canine's diet was stopped. It is believed that a high level of oxalic acid or oxalate intake causes a Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the Small intestine including old bacteria, food, waste, and intestinal cells and membrane. After about a month, urine was drawn from the canine to test for oxalate

Later, Turk's owner learned of a close friend who had

prostate cancer, initially treated with a radiation implant which failed to keep the growth in check, and now would be undergoing chemotherapy. He urged his friend with prostate cancer to try his Oxalic acid dietary treatment. He sent an explanatory letter with copies of articles about the Veg etables along with a list of items containing oxalates and Oxalic acid. Later, he talked with his friend who gave him Some revealing data. Prior to starting the Oxalic acid dietary treatment, his friend had been to an oncologist because the cancer was spreading into the pelvic area and his PSA count was 350. When his friend returned to his primary care physician months later after being on the Oxalic acid diet, he was feeling better, his PSA was down to 246, and the doctor was Surprised because he did not think his patient would Survive long enough to See him again. It seemed the doctor knew the chemotherapy would not work and it may have been given just So his friend would not despair. Turk's owner sent a copy of the Judith Been Hurley article to his friend and believed that low calcium in the bone marrow was probably the reason his friend with prostate cancer was tired and felt pain in the thigh and pelvic area. A research associate joined Turk's owner, the Applicant, in trying to better establish the relationship between oxalic acid and pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) and oxalic

mixed with three or four boiled carrots and topped with chopped parsley. The canine was started on a diet of three or four medium sized boiled carrots, mixed with approximately 1% pounds of dry dog food. Three to five days after starting on the diet, the canine showed an improvement in appetite and energy. After three weeks of being on this diet, there was a noticeable reduction in size and appearance of the tumor on the canine's mouth. Almost a month after Starting on the above diet, the canine's diet was changed to a mixture of about one pound of boiled carrots, one teaspoon of garlic, one-quarter cup chopped fresh parsley, and one and one-half pounds of dry dog food containing no citric acid. This diet

working. What was once a large Saggy Sack of black tissue Visibly hanging from the Setter's mouth changed to a considerably smaller and firmer growth. The reduction in the growth of the oral tumor slowed over time; however, it must be remembered that the tumor took nearly Six years to achieve the mass it once was. They continued to monitor the Setter's condition, and felt that the reduction in the size of

hard for her to Swallow So she was on a liquid diet because of the Swelling of the lymph nodes in and around her mouth and throat. After 5-7 days of administration of oxalic acid or oxalate the dilute Solution she was able to eat again due to the shrinkage of tumors in the lymph nodes. This dramatic

In accordance with another case Study, a dog at a pound was given one gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate in a gelcap one hour prior to meal time for Seven days with no adverse effects. The dog's appetite increased as well as energy and activity. In accordance with another case Study a human adult female Subject with possible cervical cancer found multiple growths on her cervix by Self-examination. The Subject

In another case Study, an adult female was diagnosed with

a tumor (endometrial) in the uterus. The tumor was removed

and reduced intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. After

several months of being on the diet, her blood tests were negative on cancer and she did not have to undergo chemo therapy. In accordance with another case Study, a Doberman

Started on an increased Oxalic acid or oxalate and reduced

Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet, and in less than one

month She reported that the Smallest growth was reducing in size. The Subject remained very strictly on the diet and a week later reported that the Smallest growth was gone with only a rough Spot remaining. A few days later the Subject reported that the next size growth seemed to be reducing. LeSS than a month later, the Subject reported that the large growth was considerably reduced. This process continued and less than a year after Starting on the increased oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject reported that one Small growth remained which was only noticeable during her menstrual period. In accordance with another case Study, an adult male human Subject Suffering from a brain tumor, had been through all the different conventional treatments including Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. The tumor was never totally removed and remained malignant. The subject was told of the possible beneficial effects of oxalic acid or oxalate and began on a treatment regimen of four heaping Soup Spoons of dried parsley daily and a reduction of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. This should equate to approximately four grams of Oxalic acid per day. Three to four months later, the subject had a CAT scan where the tumor was examined and did not show any growth. The Subject also had visible signs of noticeable improvement in health. Approximately six months after Starting on the enhanced oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject was much more active and friendly towards others. Approximately eight months after Starting on the enhanced Oxalic acid diet the Subject was very excited about the diet, feeling much better. The Subject had expected and experienced the toxic effects of indigestion, diarrhea, and the Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the intestine. The Subject also indicated that the tumor was in the inactive Stage. Also the Subject indicated that his memory and thinking capability had returned and he could now accomplish functions he could not prior to following the diet. He was in the process of rebuilding an engine, replacing a carburetor, changing an oil pan, changing the oil and Spark plugs, and other activities that prior to Starting on the enhanced Oxalic acid or oxalate diet were impossible. Doctors had not given this patient much time to live, and it is believed that the enhanced Oxalic acid or oxalate diet

with reduced blockers had treated, controlled, or otherwise

beneficially affected his brain tumor and overall health. He was still alive and functioning better after nine months. An adult female in her sixties was terminally ill with leukemia with tumors in her lymph nodes and she had

left hind leg. The dog had previously been put on medication

for arthritis because it would not use or lower its left hind

leg. After being diagnosed with cancer confirmed with X-ray, the dog was placed on a diet of Oxalic acid enhanced dogfood containing about 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in water and added to conventional dry dogfood. Within 4 days, the dog had lowered its left hind leg and used it frequently in activity with a companion dog. A few days later, the dog began taking Steps on the left hind leg with a Slight limp. The dog's condition continued to improve and it's diet was changed to reduce the Oxalic acid to about 1 gram of Oxalic acid/per day. After a couple of weeks the dog's condition continued to improve So the dosage of Oxalic acid was reduced to about 500 mg/per day. The dog appears to be walking with no pain and an X-ray revealed an increase in bone material in the area of the Sarcoma and a

40

45

decrease or reduction in the size of the area affected by the sarcoma. After being on the oxalic acid diet for about 30 days, the dog appeared to have no pain during physical exam and was walking normally. In another case Study, an adult female was diagnosed with Stomach cancer and Scheduled for Surgery. She began the increased oxalic acid or oxalate and reduced Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet and when she went in to have the

50

55

Surgery done, they discovered that her tumor had turned to liquid. Her diet or treatment regimen included a low intake of red meat or white meat of fowl, a low intake of Soda pop or other beverages containing citric acid, a low intake of foods containing citric acid, an intake of about 4 ounces of carrot juice per day with 2 ounces taken in the morning and 2 ounces in the evening, and a low intake of alcohol. Apparently, the Oxalic acid may have turned the tumor cells into a liquid and all that was necessary was for the liquid to be drained.

In another case Study, an adult female having breast cancer Started on a high oxalic acid or oxalate and low Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet. The growth of the cancer was reduced and in less than 2 months of being on the diet her bloodwork showed a large reduction in the cancer in the blood and that the cancer was in regression. Her condition improved So much So that the doctorS Stopped chemotherapy

especially if pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, ascorbic acid, calcium and alcohol are eliminated from the diet as

(pyridoxine hydrochloride) can be taken to help eliminate

the discomfort. Since calcium, pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, ascorbic acid and alcohol block oxalic acid or

Oxalic acid or oxalate may allow tumors to grow. This invention relates generally to methods and compo Sitions containing Oxalic acid or oxalate or related com pounds for providing therapeutic effects Such as the control, prevention, or treatment of cancer, tumors, neoplasia, etc. It was initially discovered that a lack of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the diet of a human, allowed or promoted the growth of tumors, growths, or other neoplasia. It was then discovered that the ingestion or administration of a therapeutic quantity of Oxalic acid, oxalate or foods containing high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can deter, reduce, or prevent the growth or spread of cancer, tumors, or other neoplasia. It has also been discovered that the therapeutic effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate can be inhibited by an increased ingestion or administration of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers including, for example, calcium, alcohol, citric acid, ascor

As described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine” by A. Hodgkinson, 1977, oxalic acid was formerly used intravenously as a hemostatic agent and topically as an antiseptic in man and other animals but this was discontin ued because of its toxicity and the danger of precipitating insoluble calcium oxalate in the tissues. Oxalic acid is a

include longchain fatty acids and the like which bind with or otherwise eliminate Oxalic acid blockerS Such as calcium.

High levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can produce Side effects of diarrhea, indigestion, damage to the digestive tract, and kidney damage or renal failure. Hence, prolonged ingestion or administration of high quantities of Oxalic acid

bicarbonate Serve to decompose, neutralize or otherwise reduce the beneficial effect of oxalic acid. There may also be pharmaceuticals which interfere with the absorption or ben eficial activity of Oxalic acid or oxalates. Also, the thera peutic effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate can be enhanced by decreasing or eliminating the ingestion or administration of one or more of these blockers and/or increasing the ingestion

Oxalic acid dihydrate, monoclinic tablets, prisms, and granules are considered poisonous. Anhydrous Oxalic acid is crystallized from glacial acetic acid and is orthorhombic with the crystals being pyramidal or elongated octahedra. Oxalic acid is listed as being caustic and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause Severe gastroenteritis, with Vomiting, diarrhea, or melena. Renal damage can occur as a result of formation of excessive calcium oxalate crystals. Convulsions, coma, or death from cardiovascular collapse can also occur. Common uses of Oxalic acid include as an analytical reagent, in calico printing and dying, for bleaching Straw and leather, removing paint or varnish, rust or ink Stains, clean ing wood, and manufacturing oxalates, blue ink, celluloid, intermediates and dyes, in metal polishes, in purifying methanol, for decolorizing crude glycerol, for Stabilizing hydrocyanic acid, as a general reducing agent, in ceramics and pigments, in metallurgy as a cleanser, in the paper industry, in photography, in proceSS engraving, in rubber manufacturing, in making glucose from Starch, as a con densing agent in organic chemistry, and as a veterinary hemostatic agent when mixed in 5% solution with 5%

activity of a number of enzymes possibly due to the com petition between oxalate and a structurally similar Substrate of the enzyme. Precipitation as the calcium Salt is the classical method of Separating oxalic acid from other Sub stances. Although calcium oxalate is generally considered to be an insoluble salt this is a relative term and its solubility in water is actually 6–7 mg/l at room temperature. Biological fluids contain many substances that affect the solubility or rate of crystallization of calcium oxalate or co-precipitate with the Salt. For example, magnesium, polyphosphates and other polyelectrolytes affect the solubility or rate of crystal lization of calcium oxalate while phosphate and Sulphate ions, uric acid and citric acid co-precipitate with the Salt. Also as described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, oxalic acid and its salts are widely distributed among the higher plants. Oxalic acid is Sometimes present in plants as the free acid, but more usually, however, it is present as a Soluble or insoluble Salt, for example, the acid and neutral Sodium and potassium Salts and the ammonium

relatively large amounts of magnesium oxalate occur together with calcium oxalate in plants Such as beetroot, Spinach, and buckwheat. Under conditions of calcium deficiency, Strontium, magnesium, or barium oxalate can be Substituted for calcium oxalate in a wide variety of plant Species depending upon the mineral environment. Further, as mentioned in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, there have been many studies of the oxalate

Early studies obtain values ranging from 2-4 mg/100 ml of blood. Another study indicated that the normal blood con centration is probably less than 1 mg/100 ml of blood. Improved testing methods have given results in normal values within the range of 100 tug/100 ml to 800 tug/100 ml. More recent tests of human plasma have produced normal Oxalic acid concentration ranging from 11.8-14.3 ug/100 ml of blood in man and 52.6 to 74.4 tug/100 ml of blood in sheep

(see Table VI).

of the effect of oxalate on calcium availability and the high incidence of calcium oxalate renal Stones in many parts of the world. As shown in Table V, the reported numbers for daily oxalate intake range from 70-980 mg/per day of anhydrous acid for healthy adult males. However, this information was based on the Study of diets which contain no oxalate-rich foods other than tea which is the largest Single Source of the acid in typical English diets. If an

Feeding experiments and radioisotope Studies have indi cated that a considerable number of compounds are precur Sors of Oxalic acid in animals and man, for example, glycine, glyoxylic acid, glycollic acid, ethyleneglycoll, ascorbic acid,

and tryptophan (Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine). Studies with ascorbic acid have shown that the main excre

tory products of Vitamin C in man are oxalate, ascorbic acid, and dehydroascorbic acid. From 17-40% of administered ascorbic acid was excreted as Oxalic acid.

As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, a high oxalate intake reduces the intestinal absorption of

average Serving (60 g) of spinach or rhubarb had been included then the oxalate intake would have risen to between

400 and 600 mg/day but these levels are not typical for this country. Wide variations in oxalate intake may occur in countries Such as India where vegetables rather than dairy products provide the main Source of minerals and where many of the plants used as Vegetables contain high concen

oxalate and prolonged exposure to Such a diet may lead to loSS of bone mineral, particularly if the diet is also deficient in calcium or Vitamin D. This situation is unlikely to occur very often in Western countries where there is a plentiful Supply of milk and other dairy products and oxalate-rich foods are relative uncommon. However, in developing coun tries Such as India the Situation is often quite different because tropical vegetables frequently with a high oxalate content provide the main Source of minerals and the total oxalate intake may well exceed the calcium intake in certain Seasons. Dietary oxalate is poorly absorbed on a normal diet containing adequate amounts of calcium. Further, as reported in a literature including "Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine', poisoning from oxalic acid in animals and man has been recognized since the beginning of the 19th Century. The death rate from oxalate poisoning has declined Supposedly because of a decreased use of Oxalic acid in domestic cleaning fluids. Examples of chronic poi Soning by absorption of Oxalic acid through the Skin and by inhalation have been reported. The range of lethal doses in acute poisoning is wide, varying between 2 and 30 g and depending upon a variety of factorS Such as the form in

25

trations of Oxalate. Some indication of these variations has

been provided by a study which found intakes ranging from 78-2045 mg/day depending on the Season in the rural population of Udaipur, India. A relatively high intake was also found among upper-income groups in urban areas and was attributed to a high intake of tea and green, leafy vegetables, compared with lower-income groups. As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, when taken with food, ingested oxalate is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Although oxalate absorption appears to be unaffected by metabolic inhibitors it is reduced by the presence of calcium which lowers the concentration of free oxalate ions. It is well known, for example that calcium oxalate is absorbed leSS readily than Sodium oxalate and absorption is also reduced by the oral administration of

cholestyramine (anion exchange resin which has a strong affinity for oxalate ions). Conversely, oxalate absorption is In addition to a low calcium diet, the intake of disodium

ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) appears to increase

the absorption of oxalate by complexing of calcium with EDTA in the intestinal lumen leaving more oxalate free to be

50

absorbed.

Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine', the most important precursors of urinary oxalate in man are ascorbic acid, glycine, and dietary oxalate. Excretion of Oxalate is also increased by the ingestion of a variety of Substances including glycine, glutamic acid, purines, gelatin, and ascorbic acid. Conversely, excretion has been reported to be reduced by the administration of pyridoxine and magnesium oxide. LeSS than half of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid can be accounted for by absorption into the body or excretion in the faeces. The remainder of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid appears to be destroyed by a bacterial action in the large intestine. With a dietary intake of about 130 mg/day, more than 50 mg/day appears to be destroyed by bacterial action. Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, large discrepancies have been reported in the

55

65

which the acid or its Salt is taken and the amount of food,

particularly calcium, which is present in the Stomach and intestine. Death has occurred as early as 3 minutes and as late as 14 days after ingestion. Symptoms of acute Oxalic acid toxicity in man can be divided into those caused by a local corrosive action and those resulting from absorption and excretion of the Soluble oxalate. If a high concentration or the Solid form is taken, the local effects may be predomi nant and death may result from acute hemorrhagic gastro enteritis without development of Symptoms depending on absorption. If death does not result from local corrosive action then Symptoms develop from the Systemic effects and from renal insufficiency. The cardiovascular, neuromuscular and central nervous Systems are markedly affected. The skin is pale, cold and clammy, the pulse is weak and the blood preSSure and temperature are low. Numbness and tingling may develop in the extremities and cramp-like muscular and abdominal pain may be extremely Severe. Local or gener alized muscular twitchings occur and may progreSS to marked tetany and convulsive Seizures. The central nervous System may show evidence of excitation or depression, varying from an acute maniacal State to stupor and coma. Death results from cardiovascular collapse or depression of

6,133,317 24

23 the central nervous System. Renal involvement is frequent and even if the patient Survives the Severe local or Systemic effects, death may ultimately occur from renal insufficiency, which dominates the picture from the Second day. Oliguria develops and may progreSS to anuria. Infection with Oxalic acid producing fungi of aspergillus may result in massive deposition of calcium oxalate at the Sight of infection and also renal oxalosis, leading to renal

Therapeutic compositions of the instant invention may also be formulated in gel, lotion, Spray, Stick or powder form. It is believed that the therapeutic effect of the oxalic acid or oxalate in treating tumors, cancers, neoplasia, and other disorders affecting humans involves the administration whether it be oral, by injection, Suppository or the like of a therapeutic and beneficial quantity of Oxalic acid in one of

This dosage may be reduced after a period of time and given a certain health condition to /2 gram or leSS Oxalic acid per day, and, as Such, 4 loaf or less of the bread per day. The above described Oxalic acid or oxalate containing Sourdough bread does not include any Salt, Sugar or preser Vatives Since the Oxalic acid Serves as a preservative. In using oxalic acid or oxalate as a therapeutic agent, one must be careful to administer the proper dosage given certain health conditions or in order just to maintain a healthy condition Since an overdose of Oxalic acid or oxalate can cause Severe problems. Such as renal failure, heart failure, diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions, melena, and the like. It is believed that a proper balance should be main tained between oxalic acid, oxalate and their blocking agents Such as potassium, barium, calcium, copper, magnesium,

50

55

and the like. If a high dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate would reduce calcium levels, potassium levels, magnesium levels, and the like necessary for proper heart functioning, it is necessary to limit the administration of Oxalic acid or oxalate to the minimum dosage necessary to provide the desired therapeutic effect without causing undesired side effects or health problems. In accordance with the present invention, the dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate is monitored and altered as necessary by monitoring the Oxalic acid or oxalate levels in the urine and/or blood in the patient, whether that patient be a human, canine, or the like. Also in accordance with the present invention, the amount of blockerS Such as calcium, Vitamin 26, Vitamin C, citric acid, alcohol, or combinations thereof

are monitored in the urine and/or blood of the patient. It has been discovered that the body of an animal such as human or canine is a complex chemical factory which requires a particular balance of compounds, chemicals, Vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and the like to provide for and maintain optimum health of the animal. It is believed that too little oxalic acid or oxalate in the animal may allow for the advent of neoplasia, tumors, cancers, growths, and the like while too much oxalic acid or oxalate may cause back

pain (due to kidney trouble), heartburn, indigestion, heart trouble, nerve trouble, and the like. Thus, it is recommended

that each individual case be Studied and that the proper dosage of a therapeutically effective amount of Oxalic acid, 60

oxalate, enhancers, and/or blockers be administered on a

periodic basis at one level to maintain proper health by preventing neoplasia, tumors, growths, and the like, at a different level to treat, combat, control, or eradicate tumors,

growths, cancers, neoplasia, or to cleanse the blood, and at 65

relatively free of cancer, tumor or neoplasia cells, to combat, reduce the size of, or treat an existing tumor, cancer, growth,

or the like. Since each perSon or animal is different, and their body chemistries operate in at least Some Small fashion differently than other perSons or animals, the administration of a therapeutically effective dosage of Oxalic acid, oxalate, enhancers, and/or blocking agents should be reevaluated and monitored on a regular basis by, for example, physical examination, X-ray, CAT Scan, MRI imaging, Sonogram, biopsy, blood analysis, urine analysis, fecal analysis, as well as other conventional diagnostic techniques. It is believed that a proper balanced diet including foods containing oxalic acid in one of its forms including oxalate which may be metabolized by a human or other warm blooded animal can Serve to maintain proper health, extend life, increase the quality of life, increase energy, increase cranial activity, prevent neoplasia, tumors, cancers, etc., help to combat viruses, bacteria, improve the immune System, and provide other beneficial short term and long term health

mammograms, radiation therapy, CAT-Scans, nuclear or atomic exposure, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, radioac tive pellet treatment, and the like, to prevent the formation of tumors, cancers, neoplasia by counteracting the destruc tion of Oxalic acid or oxalate caused by the exposure or treatment.

It is believed that a dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate may also provide a reserve of energy or nutrients. Hence, a food or beverage containing oxalic acid or oxalate could be ingested prior to Strenuous activity in order to increase energy, Stamina, Strength and/or mental activity. It is also believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may prevent or relieve muscle SoreneSS by helping eliminate lactic acid. 15

Although one or more of the above may be considered poisons to humans or other warm blooded animals, the proper administration of a Selected dosage is believed to be therapeutically effective and instrumental in the treatment, prevention, control, and maintenance of health. It is not uncommon for an agent which is a poison to provide a beneficial effect. Aspirin is one of the myriad of hundreds or thousands of poisons which provide a beneficial effect to warm blooded animals when administered in a proper dosage. It is believed that oxalic acid or oxalate may be one of the primary causes of the onset of Osteoporosis. Too much Oxalic acid or oxalate in the diet may reduce the calcium in the body to a point of causing or aggravating osteoporosis. Hence, the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis is the

or oxalate intake to prevent, treat, or control osteoporosis. It is believed that oxalic acid or oxalate may be a blood purifying agent which in addition to controlling, treating, or eradicating abnormal cells, oxalic acid in the blood may control cholesterol and plaque or fat buildup. Thus, the periodic or daily administration of a certain quantity of Oxalic acid in one of its therapeutically effective forms including oxalate may serve to not only purify the blood, but also control, treat, or effect cholesterol, plaque, and fat buildup in the cardiovascular System or in the brain, and in So doing improve and maintain good cardiovascular health and operation. It is believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may also be an effective treatment for parve. Also, oxalic acid or oxalate may be used as a hemostatic and antiseptic agent in animals.

istered prior to a transplant operation to purify the blood and improve the immune System. However, it is also possible that just prior to a transplant operation the body should be purged of Oxalic acid to prevent aspergillus fungi infection. It is believed that Strong magnetic fields, MRI imaging, computer terminals, power lines, cellular telephones, elec tronic equipment, microwave Ovens, etc. may decompose oxalic acid or oxalate in the body and blood and allow the formation of tumors, growths, cancers, etc. Hence, those Subjected to Strong magnet fields and the like should increase their oxalic acid or oxalate intake to counteract Such

Women in a high risk group for Osteoporosis should be careful to increase calcium intake and decrease Oxalic acid

It is also believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may be a control, treatment, or preventative, for autoimmune related diseases such as AIDS, HIV, SLE, BSE, CFS and the like by preventing, lessening, or controlling the destruction of the bodies immune System. Hence, the administration, ingestion, injection, etc. of Oxalic acid in one of its thera peutically effective forms including oxalate may serve to treat, prevent, or control the debilitating effects of autoim mune related diseases, Viral diseases, bacterial infections, and the like.

One publication mentioned that human blood typically has a mean value of about 288 ug of anhydrous Oxalic acid per 100 ml of blood. If a subject's blood is tested and their oxalic acid level is below this mean value, it is believed that

60

they should be administered Oxalic acid in one of its forms including oxalate, easily metabolized by the body to increase their blood oxalic acid level. Also it is believed that

if Someone is Suffering from cancer, tumors, AIDS, bacterial infection, etc. that they should be administered Oxalic acid or oxalate in order to increase their blood oxalic acid level to 65

a higher value than the typical mean value. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a new Scale is developed for canine and feline

Suffering from kidney Stones are told to Stay away from rhubarb leaves, Spinach, Swiss chard, lambSquarter, and beet leaves which contain high amounts of Oxalates. Also, they are told to Stay away from black and green teas and coffee

Structures and metabolism, a need exists for a canine and/or

feline Scale which will provide a quick-ready reference for a veterinarian or pet owner to test urine oxalate levels and adjust the Oxalic acid intake in the diet accordingly. Oxalic acid is a reducing agent, bacterioStatic agent, and may be an antioxidant. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that five or more items unnaturally constantly consumed are responsible for tumors or cancers and the like. These items,

which also contain oxalic acid. Further, nuts, chocolate and

Strawberries are cited by Some as containing high-oxalate. Opposite conventional thinking, in accordance with the present invention, it is believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate is the “silver bullet”, “hall monitor', or “brevet boule” that

calcium, Vitamin B6, vitamin C, citric acid, and alcohol are believed to be oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. It is interest

ing to note that a variety of prepared foods eaten every day including cookies, cakes, canned foods, Salad dressings, and the like contain these items. Further, it is interesting to note that certain articles have proposed that perSons on a low-fat

15

diet showed leSS tumors or showed tumor reduction. Since red meat Such as beef or liver contains vitamin B6

(pyridoxine hydrochloride) it follows that reduction or elimination from the diet also serves as a reduction or elimination of a blocker of Oxalic acid or oxalate. Tables

and other foods.

Although others have indicated that vegetables are cancer fighters, they have listed the cancer fighting agents as

25

antioxidants, beta caroteine, or citric acid. The literature is

Void of a reference to oxalic acid as being a cancer fighter or preventer.

The literature Suggests that tumors occur when the immune System fails to eliminate abnormal cells not con Sumed as a normal biological function of the body Systems. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that a low intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate or a high intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers including alcohol, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and pyridoxine hydrochloride weakens the immune System or the body's natural cancer fighting ability to the point where the body cannot control abnormal cell growth, tumors, cancer, and the like. Changing the diet to include an increase in the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate and

35

40

eliminating or drastically reducing the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers, allows the body's immune System or natural cancer fighting Systems to function and eliminate abnormal cells.

It is believed that carrots, Spinach, parsley, chives, beet leaves, garlic, collards, radishes, and the like are relatively high in Oxalic acid or oxalate and should be eaten in order to build a high concentration of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body. It is believed that if one can maintain a balanced diet and assure an adequate level of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the System then the body's natural protection mechanisms, immune System, and the like can prevent, treat, and control tumors, growths, cancers, Viral or bacterial diseases, chemi cal toxins, and the like.

45

55

Over the years, many claims have been made regarding the beneficial health effects of many fruits, vegetables, plants, molds, etc. For example, garlic is believed to fight infection, cancer, bacteria, Virus, and heart disease. Straw

berries are also believed to help prevent prostate cancer. Tomatoes or Spaghetti Sauce are believed to prevent cancer and heart attacks. A recent Study indicated that two cups of coffee a day can prevent Suicide in Women who work. On the other hand, plants, vegetables and chemicals which contain high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate are according to conventional wisdom thought to be poisons and to be eliminated from the diet or use. For example, those

treats, kills, controls, manages, or prevents abnormal, tumor, cancer or unspecialized cells and, thereby, treats diseases and maintains good health. Further, it has been discovered that a high oxalic acid or oxalate intake causes a cancer patient to be more talkative, Verbal, have increased dexterity, physical ability, mental ability, and appear invigorated, happier and more outgoing. The conventional treatments for cancer, tumors, growths and the like can themselves cause cancer, tumors, growths and the like. For example, X-rays can trigger malignant growths in certain people. Further, in accordance with the present invention, decomposition or reduction of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body caused by exposure or treatment of X-rays, CAT-Scans, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, level of oxalic acid or oxalate in the body and further increase the chance of growths, tumors, cancers, and dis ease. Hence, it is believed that one should not only increase the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate, but also avoids exposure to or treatment of radiation, X-rays, electromagnetic fields and the like which tend to decompose or reduce the amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body. Along this same line, it is believed that conventional testing techniques, such as the testing of carcinogens on mice may provide faulty results in that the first Step typically in Such testing is to irradiate the mice with radiation to weaken their immune System So that they are more Suscep tible to carcinogens. The radiation to weaken the immune System also causes a reduction or elimination of the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the mice. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that a normal level of oxalic acid or

oxalate is required in the body to prevent cancers, growths, tumors, and the like. Hence, the researchers unknowingly introduced an additional cancer causing factor into the testing. In accordance with the present invention, an improved testing method would involve determining the normal oxalic acid or oxalate level of the test animal, weakening the immune System of the animal using radiation, and then administering or feeding to the animal a Sufficient quantity of Oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their oxalic acid or oxalate levels back up to normal prior to further testing. Also, in accordance with the present invention, it is believed that testing, research, and examinations which include X-rays or electronic Scans to insure no cancer is present or to check on the size or location of the cancer can themselves bring on cancer by decomposing oxalic acid or oxalate and irritating the skin or tissue. Further, if test animals are fed a diet high in Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers Such as calcium, Vitamin B6, vitamin C, citric acid, and the

60

65

like the effective level of oxalic acid or oxalate in the animal

is reduced and the test results may be skewed and possibly not representative of the natural normal animal biochemistry or System. Hence, it is believed that improved human examination and animal testing involves a reduction in the use of X-ray or electronic Scans, in the incorporation of a balanced diet containing Oxalic acid or oxalate and a reduc tion in Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers.

6,133,317 31

32

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for cancer includes the elimination of the use of X-rays or electronic Scans during the testing process. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for cancer allows for the use of X-rays or electronic Scans to detect the presence or absence of cancer, but requires that the Oxalic acid or oxalate decomposed or reduced by the X-ray or electronic Scan be replaced. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for cancer employs the use of an improved animal feed which includes

a method for measuring radiation dosage in the Sterilization of food and medical products. The absorbed dose is deter

at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate and with a reduced amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers from that of conventional feed.

mined from the decrease in Oxalic acid concentration which

occurs during irradiation. In addition to the information provided in Table IV, nuts contain high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, iron and relatively high concentrations of oxalate. For example, almond, cashew, peanut, pecan and walnut all contain Oxalic acid concentrations ranging from 200 mg/100 g-600 mg/100g. Forage grasses and other pasture plants frequently contain high concentrations of minerals but many of them also contain high concentrations of oxalate. Further, many beverages including beers, wines, and fruit drinks contain low concentrations of oxalate but tea, coffee, cocoa, and 15

If one is to administer and ingest Oxalic acid in one of its harsher forms Such as Oxalic acid dihydrate, for example, a gel cap filled with 500 milligrams to 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate, this should be taken one hour before or after a meal and with a Sufficient quantity of water Such as 10 or

According to Occupational Health Services, Inc. (OHS), oxalic acid has a CAS number: 144-62-7A a RTECS num

ber: R0245000, trade names or synonyms ethanadoic acid, aktisal, aquisal, dicarboxylic acid, phosphoteX 760 grain refiner, CHO, and OHS17360. Oxalic acid is in the chemical family carboxylic acid, aliphatic and is listed as a poison with a level three out of a scale 0-3 for health, and a level 1 fire rating. In accordance with the present invention it is believed that conventional wisdom that the cause of acorn poisoning is tannic acid is wrong and that it is instead the Oxalic acid which is extremely damaging to renal tissues. It is believed that the Oxalic acid or oxalate level in oak trees is very high, especially in mold that grows on the bark.

35

poisoning is to increase oxalic acid or oxalate blockers, Such as pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, calcium, magnesium, and alcohol Such as ethanol to eliminate or carry the Oxalic acid through the renal System. Oxalate nephrosis is probably the most common cause of toxic death in dogs. Typically, the Source of Oxalate poison

more ounces of distilled water. In order to further reduce the

possibility of harm or irritation to the digestive System, one can line the Stomach before taking Such an oxalic acid pill or gel cap using Pepto Bismol, Tagamet, or Zyntec. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, workers exposed to X-rays, CAT-Scans, electro magnetic fields or waves, microwaves, radar, high Voltage power lines, electronic equipment and the like are given Sufficient quantities of foods, beverages, Supplements, treats or the like containing at least one beneficial form of Oxalic acid or oxalate to compensate for the decomposition or reduction caused by their working environment and thereby prevent the development of tumors, cancers, diseases, poor health, etc. which may otherwise be caused by their work environment.

Also, it is believed that the treatment for Oxalic acid or oak

In recent history, there has been an increase in breast cancer in Women in the United States. In accordance with

the present invention, it is believed that this increase in breast cancer may be due in part to the use of microwave Ovens which emit microwaves, which when used in cooking or heating decompose the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the food or beverage, use of a myriad of electronic equipment includ ing radios, televisions, computers, etc. and the consumption of processed foods which contain oxalic acid or oxalate

ing is ethylene glycol (antifreeze). The ethylene glycol is 40

metabolized to oxalate and Oxalic acid by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. Ethylene glycol by itself is not toxic, but when the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, works

on it to produce a toxic material (oxalate), then it becomes toxic. Antifreeze poisoning is treated with alcohol (ethanol) 45

blockerS Such as calcium, citric acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6

to keep the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme busy So that the

antifreeze can be eliminated, unaltered, and in a non-toxic

State. A major contributor to death is also metabolic acidosis caused by Oxalic acid accumulation. It is almost as important to control the acid-based Status as it is worrying about the

and the like.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a person who believes they have been Subjected to radiation, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, microwaves, radar, Strong tv or radio waves, or work in a dangerous environment where they may be Subjected to X-rays or other elements which can decompose or reduce the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body, can test their blood, plasma or urine Oxalic acid or oxalate level and if they find it is below normal, treat themselves with food, beverages, Supplements, pills, capsules, and the like containing oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their level back up to a normal healthy level. Further, Such a person can pre-treat them Selves prior to exposure with Oxalic acid or oxalate to reduce the chance that their levels will drop below normal levels. This should prevent or reduce the increased risk to devel oping cancers, tumors, Viral or bacterial diseases and the like caused by having below normal oxalic acid or oxalate levels in the body. As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, solutions of oxalic acid are decomposed by radiation. This has been the basis of

accumulation of Oxalate.

There are Several other causes of oxalate nephrosis which are extremely rare. Overdoses of vitamin Chave been shown to cause oxalate nephrosis in humans, and in at least one

goat. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) deficiency and 55

60

65

methoxyflurane anesthesia may also induce the condition. Aspergillus sp. fungi also produces high levels of oxalate and these fungi are almost ubiquitous and grow on many feed stuffs. There are a variety of plants other than oak, for example halogenten, greasewood, Sorrel, dock, Setaria grass, Sugar beets, and Several others that contain oxalic acid. Oxalate nephrosis produces a very specific lesion in the kidney when viewed under the microScope. You can actually See the oxalate crystals. A pathologist who is unaware of primary hyperoxaluria would obviously draw the conclusion that the kidney lesions were the result of Oxalate nephrosis. Typically, cancer, tumors, growths, and the like are treated by invasive unnatural techniques, Such as Surgery, biopsy,

Treatment For Tumor Reduction 25

Our research indicates the following as a treatment for the reduction of tumors:

Carrots, Spinach, parsley, chives, beets and beet leaves, garlic, collards and radishes are high among vegetables containing Oxalic Acid and should be eaten in order to build a high concentration of acid in the body fluids. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, and, especially walnuts which are high in oleic and linoleic fatty acids and increase oxalic acid absorption may be eaten.

60

AS Oxalic Acid is built up in the System one may experience indigestion known as heart burn or a nagging backache. These indicate that the acid is being ingested in too large a quantity or the System is digesting the acid at a rate faster than it can be absorbed. Indigestion can be relieved by taking 2 or 3 teaspoonful of crushed pineapple. Relief for the backache can be accomplished by taking one 100 mg vitamin B6 pill. A slight reduction of the intake of Oxalic Acid will avoid either of the above conditions. Maximum effect of Oxalic Acid on tumor reduction would

be accomplished ifa acid level can be maintained just below the discomfort level.

EXAMPLE 128

An oxalic acid intake adult management control plan includes four phases. In the first phase, the adult is admin istered about 1% to 2 grams of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day for 5-7 days to eliminate abnormal cells or otherwise clean the blood of the patient for a 70 kilogram weight adult. For larger adults, the dosage would have to be increased. Also,

plasma and/or urine to determine the exact amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate required for the individual Subject. In the Second phase of the treatment, the Subject is given about 34 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate for an additional 15–20 days until the growth or expansion of the tumor or malignancy has stopped and the tumor is in regression or inert. In the third phase the Subject is given about 72 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day to continue tumor reduction or until the body is clean. In the fourth phase or maintenance phase, the Subject is given about 50 mg of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day for maintenance of good health and to keep all cancers in remission or in check. Again, these dosages are provided for an average 70 kilogram adult and the individual’s Oxalic acid or oxalate levels need to be checked periodically and the dosages adjusted as necessary.

Recently, it was reported that among perSons ages 25–44 years HIV infection is now the leading cause of death in men and third leading cause in women in the U.S. In 1995, approximately 40,000 Americans contracted HIV. Worldwide, one million people died from AIDS in 1996 and reported cases increased by 19 percent. It has been about 15 years since the HIV/AIDS virus was first identified.

calcium salt (oxalate, Tables I-IV). Oxalic acid is also a product of the metabolism of many molds. Several Species of Penicillum and Aspergillus convert Sugar into calcium oxalate with a 90 percent yield under optimum conditions. Oxalic acid is also made by passing carbon monoxide into concentrated NaOH or heating Sodium formate in the pres

ence of NaOH.

Oxalic acid dohydrate, monoclinic tablets, prisms, and granules are considered poisonous. Anhydrous Oxalic acid is crystallized from glacial acetic acid and is orthorhombic with the crystals being pyramidal or elongated octahedral. Oxalic acid is listed as being caustic and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause Severe gastroenteritis, with Vomiting, diarrhea, or melena. Renal damage can occur as a result of formation of excessive calcium oxalate crystals. Convulsions, coma, or death from cardiovascular collapse can also occur. Conventional uses of Oxalic acid include as an analytical reagent, in calico printing and dying, for bleaching Straw and leather, removing paint or varnish, rust or ink Stains, clean ing wood, and manufacturing oxalates, blue ink, celluloid, intermediates and dyes, in metal polishes, in purifying methanol, for decolorizing crude glycerol, for Stabilizing hydrocyanic acid, as a general reducing agent, in ceramics and pigments, in metallurgy as a cleanser, in the paper industry, in photography, in proceSS engraving, in rubber manufacturing, in making glucose from Starch, as a con densing agent in organic chemistry, and as a veterinary

number of oxalates or Salts including calcium oxalate, potassium oxalate, Sodium oxalate, Strontium oxalate, mag nesium oxalate, and the like. Oxalic acid also inhibits the

activity of a number of enzymes possibly due to the com petition between oxalate and a structurally similar Substrate of the enzyme. Precipitation as the calcium Salt is the classical method of Separating oxalic acid from other Sub stances. Although calcium oxalate is generally considered to be an insoluble salt this is a relative term and its solubility in water is actually 6–7 mg/l at room temperature. Biological fluids contain many substances that affect the solubility or rate of crystallization of calcium oxalate or co-precipitate with the Salt. For example, magnesium, polyphosphates and other polyelectrolytes affect the solubility or rate of crystal lization of calcium oxalate while phosphate and Sulphate ions, uric acid and citric acid co-precipitate with the Salt. Further, as reported in a literature including “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, poisoning from oxalic acid in animals and man has been recognized since the beginning of the 19th Century. The death rate from oxalate poisoning has declined Supposedly because of a decreased use of Oxalic acid in domestic cleaning fluids. Examples of chronic poi Soning by absorption of Oxalic acid through the Skin and by inhalation have been reported. The range of lethal doses in acute poisoning is wide, varying between 2 and 30 g and depending upon a variety of factorS Such as the form in

which the acid or its Salt is taken and the amount of food,

particularly calcium, which is present in the Stomach and intestine. Death has occurred as early as 3 minutes and as late as 14 days after ingestion. Symptoms of acute oxalic acid toxicity in man can be divided into those caused by a local corrosive action and those resulting from absorption and excretion of the Soluble oxalate. If a high concentration or the Solid form is taken, the local effects may be predomi nant and death may result from acute hemorrhagic gastro enteritis without development of Symptoms depending on absorption. If death does not result from local corrosive action then Symptoms develop from the Systemic effects and from renal insufficiency. The cardiovascular, neuromuscular and central nervous Systems are markedly affected. The skin is pale, cold and clammy, the pulse is weak and the blood preSSure and temperature are low. Numbness and tingling may develop in the extremities and cramp-like muscular and abdominal pain may be extremely Severe. Local or gener alized muscular twitchings occur and may progreSS to marked tetany and convulsive Seizures. The central nervous System may show evidence of excitation or depression, varying from an acute maniacal State to stupor and coma. Death results from cardiovascular collapse or depression of the central nervous System. Renal involvement is frequent and even if the patient Survives the Severe local or Systemic effects, death may ultimately occur from renal insufficiency, which dominates the picture from the Second day.

Heavy rains would bring Standing water into the backyard, So Turk's owner tracked down the owners of a stable and a nursery that used to operate in the area before the houses were built, to See if they had used any type of toxic sprayS. Turk's owner contacted nurseries from which he had recently bought plants. Turk's owner even contacted the 3M Company, Since new carpeting with SCOTCHGARD(R) had been installed. Turk's owner asked all neighbors who had pets to find out if their pets had become Sick. Turk's owner also called veterinary clinics to find out if they had diagnosed similar caseS recently. He also Searched every Square foot of the house, garage, and Storage building looking for chemicals, especially antifreeze. Out of desperation, Turk's owner pleaded with the Veterinarians to list poisons that had the same fingerprint, and he would then choose one So Veterinarians could begin treatment. The Veterinarians declined. When blood began to appear in Turk's stool and vomit, and the kidneys had shut down, Turk was put to sleep. Turk's owner vowed that with God's help he would find out what had destroyed Turk. The attending veterinarian at the veterinary hospital was an organ Specialist and professor at Colorado State Univer sity. The Veterinarian extended his Sympathy and after a few other eXchanges he informed Turk's owner that there is one Substance very damaging to renal tissue-oxalates. The owner drove directly to his company's quality control department lab where he cornered a chemist and questioned

had died and not Taka'?

One outside activity of Turk's owner was, and still is, gardening. Naturally, he had a Subscription for the organic gardening magazine, and perused through every article. In the April 1986 edition he came across an article by Judith Benn Hurley, “Calcium From Your Garden,” and up popped the word oxalate. Imagine his Surprise, an industrial chemical, a poison, in a magazine on organic gardening. Once again the Search was on. The owner wrote a letter to MS. Hurley describing his research, the reason for it, and asked if she had anymore information on oxalates she could share. The reply he received provided him with more information than he could have hoped for. Her reply sent him to the library, to the Section containing books on nutrition. He read many Volumes and was amazed by the amount of information available on plant life and the effects of plant Vitamins on maintaining human life. His effort was rewarded when he found a volume Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis, 1965. It contains the perfect finger print of Turk's death. Chapter 19, page 239 states the following:

soybean crackers, beets or carrots, nor the SNICKERS(R) brand candy bars with peanuts. When the owner realized what caused Turk's death, he put Taka on an oxalate/oxalic acid-free diet. Some weeks after putting Taka on the diet, the color of Taka's coat, which had faded, began returning to normal. Knowing that a human could Suffer from an exceSS of oxalates and Oxalic acid, the owner put himself on a Similar diet as well.

AS the tissue was being destroyed, Turk's condition wors ened until other vital functions were affected. Turk's owner

He complained and Swore he would get a new mattress, believing it to be the cause of the backaches. By the end of the day the ache would be gone and out of mind.

that had raised his oxalate level to the point it began bothering his kidneyS. After retirement, Turk's owner was planning to move and Some friends Stopped by to visit. One evening while having cocktails with the friends, they began talking about health and age, etc. One of the ladies mentioned she needed bypass Surgery, but it could not be Scheduled because her red blood cell count was low, and the doctors could not get it to rise,

6,133,318 11 even though She was on a third medication. Turk's owner's research had paid off. He gave his organic gardening maga zine to the lady and urged her to read the article by Judith Benn Hurley. He explained to her that the reason her red cell count was low was because of her diet. She ate very little meat, a primary Source of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), did not drink much Soda pop, orange or pineapple juice (all high in citric acid), and only consumed alcohol in moderate quan tities. Her diet contained items high in Oxalic acid, like Spinach, her favorite Salad. The owner mentioned that in his

12 on about foods thought to help in the fight against cancer, night his mind Stopped on one particular item. It was a Sentence he had read about foods, and the importance they play in health and healing. “The acid in Strawberries is thought to help prevent prostate cancer.” Acid-there it was, that is the word that halted his mental computer. When he woke up, questions began running through his mind. If Oxalic acid would destroy healthy renal tissue, could it possibly destroy Sick tissue first? Is cancer not considered to

antioxidants? Are there really different types of cancer, or are they a similar type of Sick cell just in different parts of the body'? Why are there different types of chemotherapies? There were just too many questions. He had to go back and Start with his initial question. He asked a dear friend, a devout Christian, whether the Bible states that God put everything on earth that man needs? At the same time he went on a very high oxalic acid diet and avoided citric acid and reduced his intake of pyridoxines and alcohol to a

of 50 mg vitamin B6 pills and Suggested she take one immediately and then one a day for the first week, and then one every other day. Three weeks later she told him that the doctor had just Scheduled her operation.

15

Turk's owner had also noticed that he did not have the

recurring attacks of heartburn he had prior to changing his diet and taking Vitamin B6. He thought it a great discovery. Then Turk's owner moved to Arkansas. His stepdaughter, who is married and living nearby, worked at a local hospital. One day she began running a high fever in the range of 104-106, went home, and went straight to bed. The fever fell, and the next couple of days she returned to work only to have the fever return after a couple of hours. She went home and the cycle repeated. She mentioned this to a doctor in the emergency room and a Series of tests were ordered looking for a virus, an infection, even a tubular conception. Turk's owner became involved, because after listening to long, Sometimes whispered conversations between his wife and Stepdaughter, he asked what the trouble was. His wife explained what had happened and that the doctor was looking for Some type of urinary tract or vaginal infection, but there were no positive cultures. When he heard that the Stepdaughter experienced burning and irritation when urinating, he asked his wife why they did not think about diet. His Stepdaughter was eating primarily Salad bar meals loaded with oxalic acid. He had his wife immediately take a bottle of vitamin B6 pills to his stepdaughter with a Suggestion to take two pills immediately, another one after twelve hours, and one a day after that for the next week. In two days her fever was gone, and She went back to work. After the third day all Symptoms were gone and She was back to normal as best they could ascertain. Other people who complained of back pain without having muscle or Spine problems found relief after Turk's owner Suggested taking Vitamin B6. One day while drying off after a shower, Turk's owner noticed a mole-type growth on the inside of his right thigh. He had not noticed it before, and shortly after that, a growth began at the end of his right eyebrow near the bridge of his nose. AS the growth on the thigh became bigger, So did his curiosity. He picked at the growth until Some of it came off and it bled. Now curiosity turned to concern. A month later the growth on the thigh reappeared and the growth on the eyebrow grew larger. He would check both growths every day and they were always on his mind. He believes it was his obsession with Turk that guided his thoughts to Oxalic acid. This acid is readily available in foods people eat, So why would God put a substance in food He provided to Sustain life, if that Same Substance by assaulting the kidneys can kill life? It just did not make Sense. That question constantly ran through his mind begging to be answered. Night after night, hours were spent turning and tossing in restleSS Sleep, Searching and Searching for an answer. He had read every article in every magazine he could get his hands

became convinced it was not the beta carotene, the Vitamin

C, or anything else that was the cancer fighter-it was Oxalic acid. Once again he started asking himself questions. Would oxalic acid destroy sick cells before healthy cells? The only answer he could come up with is the affirmative. The Story continues with the Submittal of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/006,785, filed Nov. 15, 1995, U.S. patent application Ser.

INHUMANS AND ANIMALS, by Francis J. Hart, all three applications being hereby incorporated by reference. After placing himself on a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the growth on Turk's owner's thigh began to disappear and shortly thereafter the growth on his eyebrow as well. Even tually both growths were completely gone. Another sign of the result of the high oxalic acid diet was the disappearance of a couple of polyps around the anal orifice. These had appeared when he went on the low oxalate/low Oxalic acid diet, and now when he reversed the diet these growths disappeared. Later, his own daughter informed him that her mother was having a lot of Stomach or digestive problems and was due for exploratory Surgery. During the operation they discov ered cancer in the abdominal cavity and removed all possible, estimated at 80 percent. There was cancer in the bladder, and they planned an extensive chemotherapy pro gram. However, a specialty lab in California which received the tissue Sample, determined it was a rare type of cancer, with no known treatment. His daughter, who was at her mother's Side constantly, agreed to try his Oxalic acid procedure. With his Suggestion and the help of a juicer, she prepared a mixture of carrots, Spinach, parsley, and chives. He Suggested She try to get her mother to drink Six to eight ounces of the mixture at least three times a day. At the Start, her mother complained of the taste, Sohe Suggested She mix Some V8(R) juice with the mixture to enhance the flavor. This worked, and her mother began to drink the mixture. He felt

Upon this happening all oxalic acid or oxalate addition to the canine's diet was stopped. It is believed that a high level of oxalic acid or oxalate intake causes a Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the Small intestine including old bacteria, food,

On the third day after her mother began drinking the mixture, his daughter talked with the nurse who said, “In the morning when she took the patient's Vital Signs they were the best Since the patient had come to the hospital. Her temperature was down, blood pressure was down, and pulse rate was near normal.” In addition, the yellowish skin color began to change. Then, for reasons unknown, her mother stopped drinking the mixture. Shortly after that her mother passed away.

Later, Turk's owner learned of a close friend who had

prostate cancer, initially treated with a radiation implant which failed to keep the growth in check, and now would be undergoing chemotherapy. He urged his friend with prostate cancer to try his Oxalic acid dietary treatment. He sent an explanatory letter with copies of articles about the Veg etables along with a list of items containing oxalates and Oxalic acid. Later, he talked with his friend who gave him Some revealing data. Prior to starting the Oxalic acid dietary treatment, his friend had been to an oncologist because the cancer was spreading into the pelvic area and his PSA count was 350. When his friend returned to his primary care physician months later after being on the Oxalic acid diet, he was feeling better, his PSA was down to 246, and the doctor was Surprised because he did not think his patient would Survive long enough to See him again. It seemed the doctor knew the chemotherapy would not work and it may have been given just So his friend would not despair. Turk's owner sent a copy of the Judith Been Hurley article to his friend and believed that low calcium in the bone marrow was probably the reason his friend with prostate cancer was tired and felt pain in the thigh and pelvic area. Turk's owner, the Applicant, further investigated to try to better establish the relationship between oxalic acid and

15

mg/L. Three days later, the canine was restarted on a diet having about 1 gram of Oxalic acid added to one pound of dry dog food. A canine urine oxalic acid Scale was calculated based on a scale of 0-40 mg/L for a 70 kg human, and adjusting this for a 25 kg canine to have a desired range of about 0-14 mg/L. The canine was started on a new diet of approximately one and one-half pounds of dry dog food to 1 gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in about three ounces of water and mixed together and adding one-half can

of Pedigree(R) brand canned dog food (6% oz. can) to add

protein to the diet. A little more than two weeks later the diet was changed to reduce the Oxalic acid dose to 500 mg per

day and the canine was given four beef strips (approximately 25 grams) with 27 percent protein each evening. Thirty days

25

later the dose was dropped to 300 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 50 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 20 mg oxalic acid per day which was maintained till the animal was eutha nized. The canine's mouth tumor had reduced in size in an

eleven month period. The Oxalic acid dihydrate was pur chased from Swift Chemical Company, Rogers, Arkansas, and dissolved in water to use as a food additive to the canine diet. 35

Much to their Surprise, the dog seemed to crave the carrots and parsley. The Setter's activity increased Steadily to the point where he actively competed with a four-year old

The reduction in the growth of the oral tumor slowed over time; however, it must be remembered that the tumor took nearly Six years to achieve the mass it once was. They continued to monitor the

14 year-old Specimen, had a very noticeable tumor on the mouth, had been diagnosed with multiple tumors which a

biopsy confirmed to be melanoma (skin cancer), and was to be euthanized. The oral tumor was in an area easily exam ined. The oral tumor had been removed Several years ago, when it was confirmed as malignant, but it had grown back. The question was posed if a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet Supposedly works on humans, would it not also work on this dog? They felt confident, since The Merck Manual does state that 90 percent of cancers are due to environment and nutrition. And So, they embarked on taking the Setter off

Started on a diet of three or four medium sized boiled carrots,

mixed with approximately 1/2 pounds of dry dog food. Three to five days after Starting on the diet, the canine showed an improvement in appetite and energy. After three weeks of being on this diet, there was a noticeable reduction in size and appearance of the tumor on the canine's mouth. Almost a month after Starting on the above diet, the canine's diet was changed to a mixture of about one pound of boiled carrots, one teaspoon of garlic, one-quarter cup chopped fresh parsley, and one and one-half pounds of dry dog food containing no citric acid. This diet was varied based on the canine's condition with the mouth tumor being measured and recorded by a veterinarian. The mouth tumor exhibited expansion or Swelling and reduction cycles. The canine's urine was tested for oxalate count and a result showed about

50 mg per liter of Oxalic acid.

55

the tumor was a positive sign that the Oxalic acid or oxalate was working. An autopsy of the Irish Setter revealed the malignant melanoma with metastasis, adrenal gland pheochromocytoma, acute cystitis, the urinary bladder mucosa appeared diffusely thickened, granular and hemor rhagic in appearance with the presence of moderate amounts of a turbid reddish-brown urine, a large encapsulated necrotic mass within the omental adipose tissue, with no other significant groSS lesions noted within other areas of the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, trachea, lungs, heart, Spleen, kidneys, musculoskeletal System, and gastrointestinal tract. Hence, it appears that the Oxalic acid or oxalate diet did not damage any of the dog's organs or kidneyS. It is believed

that the lesions (Scars) in the lungs of the canine, may 60

65

indicate that Oxalic acid or oxalate had eliminated growths in the lungs. In accordance with another case Study, a dog at a pound was given one gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate in a gel cap one hour prior to meal time for Seven days with no adverse effects. The dog's appetite increased as well as energy and activity. In accordance with another case Study a human adult female Subject with possible cervical cancer found multiple growths on her cervix by Self-examination. The Subject

Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet, and in less than one

month She reported that the Smallest growth was reducing in size. The Subject remained very strictly on the diet and a week later reported that the Smallest growth was gone with only a rough Spot remaining. A few days later the Subject reported that the next size growth seemed to be reducing. LeSS than a month later, the Subject reported that the large growth was considerably reduced. This process continued and less than a year after Starting on the increased oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject reported that one Small growth remained which was only noticeable during her menstrual period. In accordance with another case Study, an adult male human Subject Suffering from a brain tumor, had been through all the different conventional treatments including Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. The tumor was never totally removed and remained malignant. The subject was told of the possible beneficial effects of oxalic acid or oxalate and began on a treatment regimen of four heaping Soup Spoons of dried parsley daily and a reduction of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. This should equate to approximately four grams of Oxalic acid per day. Three to four months later, the subject had a CAT scan where the tumor was examined and did not show any growth. The Subject also had visible signs of noticeable improvement in health. Approximately six months after Starting on the enhanced oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject was much more active and friendly towards others. Approximately eight months after Starting on the enhanced Oxalic acid diet the Subject was very excited about the diet, feeling much better. The Subject had expected and experienced the toxic effects of indigestion, diarrhea, and the Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the intestine. The Subject also indicated that the tumor was in the inactive Stage. Also the Subject indicated that his memory and thinking capability had returned and he could now accomplish functions he could not prior to following the diet. He was in the process of rebuilding an engine, replacing a carburetor, changing an oil pan, changing the oil and Spark plugs, and other activities that prior to Starting on the enhanced Oxalic acid or oxalate diet were impossible. Doctors had not given this patient much time to live, and

An adult female in her sixties was terminally ill with leukemia with tumors in her lymph nodes and she had Stopped chemotherapy treatment. She was told about the possible beneficial effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate and Started on a daily intake of about 1 to 1/2 g/day Oxalic acid or

hard for her to Swallow So she was on a liquid diet because of the Swelling of the lymph nodes in and around her mouth and throat. After 5-7 days of administration of oxalic acid or oxalate in dilute Solution she was able to eat again due to the Shrinkage of tumors in the lymph nodes. This dramatic effect

by laser and she was to undergo chemotherapy. She heard of the Oxalic acid treatment of the present invention, and went on the diet having increased intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate

Surgery done, they discovered that her tumor had turned to liquid. Her diet or treatment regimen included a low intake of red meat or white meat of fowl, a low intake of Soda pop or other beverages containing citric acid, a low intake of foods containing citric acid, an intake of about 4 ounces of carrot juice per day with 2 ounces taken in the morning and 2 ounces in the evening, and a low intake of alcohol. Apparently, the Oxalic acid in the carrot juice may have turned the tumor cells into a liquid and all that was necessary was for the liquid to be drained. In another case Study, an adult female having breast cancer Started on a high oxalic acid or oxalate and low Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet. The growth of the cancer was reduced and in less than 2 months of being on the diet her blood work showed a large reduction in the cancer in the blood and that the cancer was in regression. Her condition improved So much So that the doctorS Stopped conventional chemotherapy treatment. In another case Study, an adult female with breast cancer went on a diet including an intake of about 4 ounces of carrot juice per day along with chicken broth. In about 8 weeks she was sent home from the hospital, she was walking, went to the mall and was eating potato chips. Previously, she had been hospitalized and on a liquid diet. In accordance with another case Study, an adult female Suffering from breast cancer went on an increased Oxalic acid diet, Stopped using the microwave oven to cook foods, Stopped chemotherapy treatments, cut CAT-Scans down to once a month, and in a short time her blood was tested and

After being diagnosed with cancer confirmed with X-ray, the dog was placed on a diet of Oxalic acid enhanced dogfood containing about 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in water and added to conventional dry dogfood. Within 4 days, the dog had lowered its left hind leg and used it frequently in activity with a companion dog. A few days later, the dog began taking Steps on the left hind leg with a Slight limp. The dog's condition continued to improve and it's diet was changed to reduce the Oxalic acid to about 1 gram of Oxalic acid/per day. After a couple of weeks the dog's condition continued to improve So the dosage of Oxalic acid was reduced to about 500 mg/per day. The dog appears to be walking with no pain and an X-ray revealed an

under optimum conditions. Oxalic acid is also made by passing carbon monoxide into concentrated NaOH or heat ing sodium formate in the presence of NaOH. Oxalic acid dihydrate, monoclinic tablets, prisms, and granules are considered poisonous. Anhydrous Oxalic acid is crystallized from glacial acetic acid and is orthorhombic with the crystals being pyramidal or elongated octahedral. Oxalic acid is listed as being caustic and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause Severe gastroenteritis, with Vomiting, diarrhea, or melena. Renal damage can occur as a result of formation of excessive calcium oxalate crystals. Convulsions, coma, or death from cardiovascular collapse can also occur. Common uses of Oxalic acid include as an analytical reagent, in calico printing and dying, for bleaching Straw and leather, removing paint or varnish, rust or ink Stains, clean ing wood, and manufacturing oxalates, blue ink, celluloid, intermediates and dyes, in metal polishes, in purifying methanol, for decolorizing crude glycerol, for Stabilizing hydrocyanic acid, as a general reducing agent, in ceramics and pigments, in metallurgy as a cleanser, in the paper industry, in photography, in proceSS engraving, in rubber manufacturing, in making glucose from Starch, as a con densing agent in organic chemistry, and as a veterinary hemostatic agent when mixed in 5 percent Solution with 5 percent malonic acid. As described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine” by A. Hodgkinson, 1977, oxalic acid was formerly used intravenously as a hemostatic agent and topically as an antiseptic in man and other animals but this was discontin ued because of its toxicity and the danger of precipitating

the discomfort. Since calcium, pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, ascorbic acid and alcohol block oxalic acid or

oxalate, the individual should work his/her dietary therapy up to the point of experiencing the discomforts Stated and then back off Slightly from Oxalic acid or oxalate intake. It is also believed that the converse is also true - inSufficient

Oxalic acid or oxalate may allow tumors to grow. Since certain cancers in animals are believed to be caused

by viruses, it was postulated by the present inventor, that Oxalic acid or oxalate may be useful in treating infectious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial diseases in addition to treating cancers, tumors, neoplasms, and the like. This invention relates generally to methods and compo Sitions containing Oxalic acid or oxalate or related com pounds for providing therapeutic effects Such as the control, prevention, or treatment of cancer, tumors, neoplasia, infec tious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial diseases, etc. It was initially discovered that a lack of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the diet of a human, allowed or promoted the growth of tumors, growths, or other neoplasia. It was then discovered that the ingestion or administration of a therapeutic quantity of Oxalic acid, oxalate or foods con taining high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can deter, reduce, or prevent the growth or spread of cancer, tumors, or other neoplasia. Then, it was discovered that an Oxalic acid Solution controlled, prevented, or treated infectious or patho genic bacterial or viral diseaseS Such as colds, flu, Sore

15

25

throat, and the like.

It has also been discovered that the therapeutic effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate can be inhibited by an increased ingestion or administration of oxalic acid or oxalate blockers including, for example, calcium, alcohol, citric acid, ascor

bic acid (vitamin C), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6),

insoluble calcium oxalate in the tissues. Oxalic acid is a 35

etc. Other oxalic acid or oxalate blockers include binding agents Such as clay, resins, and indigestible fibers. Radiation, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, electron

number of Oxalates or Salts including calcium oxalate, potassium oxalate, Sodium oxalate, Strontium oxalate, mag

bicarbonate Serve to decompose, neutralize or otherwise reduce the beneficial effect of oxalic acid. There may also be pharmaceuticals which interfere with the absorption or ben eficial activity of Oxalic acid or oxalates. Also, the thera peutic effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate can be enhanced by decreasing or eliminating the ingestion or administration of one or more of these blockers and/or increasing the ingestion

nesium oxalate, and the like. Oxalic acid also inhibits the

40

45

of Oxalic acid or oxalate. Oxalic acid or oxalate enhancers which increase the beneficial effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate

include long chain fatty acids and the like which bind with or otherwise eliminate oxalic acid blockerS Such as calcium.

50

High levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can produce Side effects of diarrhea, indigestion, damage to the digestive tract, and kidney damage or renal failure. Hence, prolonged ingestion or administration of high quantities of Oxalic acid or oxalate should be avoided so that the beneficial thera

55

peutic effect of the reduction, control, or treatment of tumors, cancers, neoplasia, neoplasms, infectious or patho genic bacterial, Viral, or other disease can be enjoyed without harm to other systems or parts of the body. AS mentioned above, Oxalic acid or ethanedioic acid

activity of a number of enzymes possibly due to the com petition between oxalate and a structurally similar Substrate of the enzyme. Precipitation as the calcium Salt is the classical method of Separating oxalic acid from other Sub stances. Although calcium oxalate is generally considered to be an insoluble salt this is a relative term and its solubility in water is actually 6–7 mg/l at room temperature. Biological fluids contain many substances that affect the solubility or rate of crystallization of calcium oxalate or co-precipitate with the Salt. For example, magnesium, polyphosphates and other polyclectrolytes affect the solubility or rate of crystal lization of calcium oxalate while phosphate and Sulphate ions, uric acid and citric acid co-precipitate with the Salt. Also as described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, oxalic acid and its salts are widely distributed among the higher plants. Oxalic acid is Sometimes present in plants as the free acid, but more usually, however, it is present as a Soluble or insoluble Salt, for example, the acid and neutral Sodium and potassium Salts and the ammonium Salt. Calcium oxalate is the most common insoluble Salt but

60

(CHO), is a dicarboxylic acid and is present in many

plants as the potassium or calcium Salt (oxalate, Tables I-IV). Oxalic acid is also a product of the metabolism of

relatively strong acid having a first dissociation constant being exceeded by that of only a few halogen-Substituted carboxylic acids. Oxalic acid forms neutral and acid Salts

65

relatively large amounts of magnesium oxalate occur together with calcium oxalate in plants Such as beet root, Spinach, and buckwheat. Under conditions of calcium deficiency, Strontium, magnesium, or barium oxalate can be Substituted for calcium oxalate in a wide variety of plant Species depending upon the mineral environment. Further, as mentioned in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, there have been many studies of the oxalate

6,133,318 19 content of individual foodstuffs (see Tables I-IV), but few estimates have been made of the total daily intake of oxalate by animals or man (see Table V). This is surprising in view

of the effect of oxalate on calcium availability and the high incidence of calcium oxalate renal Stones in many parts of the world. As shown in Table V, the reported numbers for daily oxalate intake range from 70-980 mg/per day of anhydrous acid for healthy adult males. However, this information was based on the Study of diets which contain no oxalate-rich foods other than tea which is the largest Single Source of the acid in typical English diets. If an

acid/100 ml was reported for normal human blood, a figure which is probably much nearer to the normal value. Feeding experiments and radioisotope Studies have indi cated that a considerable number of compounds are precur Sors of Oxalic acid in animals and man, for example, glycine, glyoxylic acid, glycolic acid, ethyleneglycol, ascorbic acid,

and tryptophan (Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine). Studies with ascorbic acid have shown that the main excre

included then the oxalate intake would have risen to between

As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, a high oxalate intake reduces the intestinal absorption of

400 and 600 mg/day but these levels are not typical for this country. Wide variations in oxalate intake may occur in countries Such as India where vegetables rather than dairy products provide the main Source of minerals and where many of the plants used as Vegetables contain high concen

15

trations of Oxalate. Some indication of these variations has

been provided by a study which found intakes ranging from 78-2045 mg/day depending on the Season in the rural population of Udaipur, India. A relatively high intake was also found among upper-income groups in urban areas and was attributed to a high intake of tea and green, leafy vegetables, compared with lower-income groups. As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, when taken with food, ingested oxalate is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Although oxalate absorption appears to be unaffected by metabolic inhibitors it is reduced by the presence of calcium which lowers the concentration of free oxalate ions. It is well known, for example that calcium oxalate is absorbed leSS readily than Sodium oxalate and absorption is also reduced by the oral administration of

cholestyramine (anion exchange resin which has a strong affinity for oxalate ions). Conversely, oxalate absorption is

25

increased when the dietary intake of calcium is reduced and this is reflected in an increased urinary excretion of oxalate. In addition to a low calcium diet, the intake of dySodium 40

to be absorbed.

Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine', the most important precursors of urinary oxalate in man are ascorbic acid, glycine, and dietary oxalate. Excretion of Oxalate is also increased by the ingestion of a variety of Substances including glycine, glutamic acid, purines, gelatin, and ascorbic acid. Conversely, excretion has been reported to be reduced by the administration of pyridoxine and magnesium oxide. LeSS than half of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid can be accounted for by absorption into the body or excretion in the faces. The remainder of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid appears to be destroyed by a bacterial action in the large intestine. With a dietary intake of about 130 mg/day, more than 50 mg/day appears to be destroyed by bacterial action. Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, large discrepancies have been reported in the

45

50

55

"normal” concentration of Oxalic acid in mammalian blood.

Early studies obtain values ranging from 2-4 mg/100 ml of blood. Another study indicated that the normal blood con centration is probably less than 1 mg/100 ml of blood. Improved testing methods have given results in normal values within the range of 100 tug/100 ml to 800 tug/100 ml. More recent tests of human plasma have produced normal Oxalic acid concentration ranging from 11.8-14.3 ug/100 ml of blood in man and 52.6 to 74.4 ug/100 ml of blood in sheep

oxalate and prolonged exposure to Such a diet may lead to loSS of bone mineral, particularly if the diet is also deficient in calcium or Vitamin D. This situation is unlikely to occur very often in Western countries where there is a plentiful Supply of milk and other dairy products and oxalate-rich foods are relative uncommon. However, in developing coun tries Such as India the Situation is often quite different because tropical vegetables frequently with a high oxalate content provide the main Source of minerals and the total oxalate intake may well exceed the calcium intake in certain Seasons. Dietary Oxalate is poorly absorbed on a normal diet containing adequate amounts of calcium. Further, as reported in literature including "Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, poisoning from Oxalic acid in animals and man has been recognized since the beginning of the 19th Century. The death rate from oxalate poisoning has declined Supposedly because of a decreased use of Oxalic acid in domestic cleaning fluids. Examples of chronic poi Soning by absorption of Oxalic acid through the Skin and by inhalation have been reported. The range of lethal doses in acute poisoning is wide, varying between 2 and 30 g and depending upon a variety of factorS Such as the form in which the acid or its Salt is taken and the amount of food,

ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) appears to

increase the absorption of oxalate by complexing of calcium with EDTA in the intestinal lumen leaving more oxalate free

calcium because of the formation of insoluble calcium

65

particularly calcium, which is present in the Stomach and intestine. Death has occurred as early as 3 minutes and as late as 14 days after ingestion. Symptoms of acute Oxalic acid toxicity in man can be divided into those caused by a local corrosive action and those resulting from absorption and excretion of the Soluble oxalate. If a high concentration or the Solid form is taken, the local effects may be predomi nant and death may result from acute hemorrhagic gastro enteritis without development of Symptoms depending on absorption. If death does not result from local corrosive action then Symptoms develop from the Systemic effects and from renal insufficiency. The cardiovascular, neuromuscular and central nervous Systems are markedly affected. The skin is pale, cold and clammy, the pulse is weak and the blood preSSure and temperature are low. Numbness and tingling may develop in the extremities and cramp-like muscular and abdominal pain may be extremely Severe. Local or gener alized muscular twitchings occur and may progreSS to marked tetany and convulsive Seizures. The central nervous System may show evidence of excitation or depression, varying from an acute maniacal State to stupor and coma. Death results from cardiovascular collapse or depression of the central nervous System. Renal involvement is frequent and even if the patient Survives the Severe local or Systemic effects, death may ultimately occur from renal insufficiency, which dominates the picture from the Second day. Oliguria developS and may progreSS to anuria. Infection with Oxalic acid producing fungi of aspergillus may result in massive deposition of calcium oxalate at the

6,133,318 21 Sight of infection and also renal oxalosis, leading to renal failure (Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine). Patients undergoing treatment with Steroids, immunosuppressive drugs or cytotoxic agents are particularly liable to develop fungal infections and the increasing use of these drugs in malignancy and organ transplantation may be expected to lead to an increased incidence of aspergillosis infection. Oxamide (ethanediamide, oxalamide, oxalic acid diamide, or ethanedioic acid diamide, or C2HNO2) is metabolized in the body to form oxalic acid. In accordance with the present invention, therapeutically effective amounts of at least one therapeutically effective form of oxalate or oxalic acid including, oxalic acid dihydride, anhydrous Oxalic acid, potassium oxalate, Sodium oxalate, oxamide, plants or vegetables containing oxalic acid or the potassium Salt thereof, or combinations thereof are administered periodically to prevent, control, or treat infec tious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial dis eases or conditions and/or neoplasia, cancers, tumors, neoplasms, and the like. Further, these compounds are administered along with a therapeutically effective reduction in the administration or ingestion of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockerS Such as calcium, potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6,

22 It is believed that the therapeutic effect of the oxalic acid or oxalate in treating tumors, cancers, neoplasia, neoplasms, infectious or pathogenic microbial, bacterial or viral diseases, and other disorders affecting humans involves the administration whether it be topical, oral, by injection, Suppository, or the like of a therapeutic and beneficial quantity of Oxalic acid in one of its free acid, Salt, or other

forms to cause contact of Oxalic acid with the bacteria or

treatment of canines, an oxalic acid or oxalate level chart for

canines and felines differs from that for humans in that the 15

normal blood oxalic acid level of an animal Such as canine or feline differs from that of humans.

Along this line, it has been determined that about 1 gram per day intake of Oxalic acid provides about a 22 mg/L level

of oxalate in the urine of a 25 Kilogram (K) canine.

containing Sourdough bread is used in a method of thera peutically treating a warm-blooded animal by having the animal periodically ingest a portion of the loaf. For example, in the treatment of an adult male human, he could ingest daily up to about 72 of a loaf of this bread to achieve a dosage of Oxalic acid of up to about 1 gram oxalic acid per day. This dosage may be reduced after a period of time and given a certain health condition to /2 gram or leSS Oxalic acid per day, and, as Such, 4 loaf or less of the bread per day. The above described Oxalic acid or oxalate containing Sourdough bread does not include any Salt, Sugar or preser Vatives Since the Oxalic acid Serves as a preservative. In using oxalic acid or oxalate as a therapeutic agent, one must be careful to administer the proper dosage given certain health conditions or in order just to maintain a healthy condition Since an overdose of Oxalic acid or oxalate can cause indigestion, to heartburn, backache, or Severe problems Such as renal failure, heart failure, diarrhea, Vomiting, convulsions, melena, and the like. It is believed that a proper balance should be maintained between Oxalic acid, oxalate and their blocking agents Such as potassium, barium, calcium, copper, magnesium, Silver, Strontium, alcohol, citric acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and the like. If

a high dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate would reduce calcium levels, potassium levels, magnesium levels, and the like necessary for proper heart functioning, it is necessary to

The method as described above wherein the composition is a powder, tablet, gel cap, lotion, cream, gel, ointment, Solution, mixture, food, nutritional Supplement, formulation, transdermal patch, drops, or combination thereof. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a therapeutically effective dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate is administered on a periodic basis by the ingestion of one or more foods including oxalic acid in one of its therapeutically effective forms including free acid, Salt, ester, lactone, anhydride, dihydrate, diamide, or the like. In accordance with a particular example, a four pound Sourdough bread loaf is made from conventional bread ingredients including flour, water, yeast, and Sourdough and has added thereto two rounded tablespoons of dried, chopped parsley which is mixed with the other ingredients to be disbursed throughout the loaf. These two rounded tableSpoons of dried parsley provide approximately 2 grams

It is believed that a dosage of Oxalic acid or oxalate may also provide a reserve of energy or nutrients. Hence, a food or beverage containing oxalic acid or oxalate could be ingested prior to Strenuous activity in order to increase energy, Stamina, Strength and/or mental activity. It is also believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may prevent or relieve muscle SoreneSS by helping eliminate lactic acid. It is also believed that oxalic acid or oxalate should be

Although one or more of the above may be considered poisons to humans or other warm-blooded animals, the proper administration of a Selected dosage is believed to be therapeutically effective and instrumental in the treatment, prevention, and control of disease, and main tenance of good health. It is not uncommon for an agent which is a poison to provide a beneficial effect. Aspirin is one of the myriad of hundreds or thousands of poisons which provide a beneficial effect to warm-blooded animals when administered in a proper dosage. It is believed that oxalic acid or oxalate may be one of the primary causes of the onset of Osteoporosis. Too much Oxalic acid or oxalate in the diet may reduce the calcium in the body to a point of causing or aggravating osteoporosis. Hence, the treatment and prevention of Osteoporosis is the

or oxalate intake to prevent, treat, or control osteoporosis. It is believed that oxalic acid or oxalate may be a blood purifying agent which in addition to controlling, treating, or eradicating infectious bacteria or viruses and abnormal cells, Oxalic acid in the blood may control cholesterol and plaque or fat buildup. Thus, the periodic or daily administration of a certain quantity of Oxalic acid in one of its therapeutically effective forms including oxalate may serve to not only purify the blood, but also control, treat, or effect cholesterol, plaque, and fat buildup in the cardiovascular System or in the brain, and in So doing improve and maintain good cardio vascular health and operation. It is believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may also be an effective treatment for parvo. Also, Oxalic acid or oxalate may be used as a hemostatic and antiseptic agent in and on

However, it is also possible that just prior to a transplant operation the body should be purged of Oxalic acid to prevent aspergillis fungi infection. It is believed that Strong magnetic fields, MRI imaging, computer terminals, power lines, cellular telephones, elec tronic equipment, microwave Ovens, etc. may decompose oxalic acid or oxalate in the body and blood and allow the spread of infectious bacterial or viral disease and the for mation of tumors, growths, cancers, etc. Hence, those Sub jected to Strong magnetic fields and the like Should increase

immune-related diseases Such as AIDS, HIV, SLE, BSE,

CFS, and the like by preventing, lessening, or controlling the destruction of the bodies immune System. Hence, the administration, ingestion, injection, etc. of an effective amount of Oxalic acid in one of its therapeutically effective forms including oxalate may serve to treat, prevent, or control the debilitating effects of auto-immune related diseases, Viral diseases, bacterial infections, and the like.

As described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, normal human blood typically has a mean value of about 288 lug of anhydrous oxalic acid per 100 ml of blood. In accordance with the present invention, if a Subject's blood is tested and their oxalic acid level is below this mean value,

60

it is believed that they should be administered oxalic acid in one of its forms including oxalate, easily metabolized by the body to increase their blood oxalic acid level. Also it is believed that if Someone is Suffering from cancer, tumors, AIDS, bacterial, viral, or microbial infection, etc. that they should be administered Oxalic acid or oxalate in order to

65

increase their blood oxalic acid level to a higher value than the typical mean value. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a new Scale is developed for canine and feline

On the other hand, plants, vegetables and chemicals which contain high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate are according to conventional wisdom thought to be poisons and to be eliminated from the diet or use. For example, those Suffering from kidney Stones are told to Stay away from rhubarb leaves, Spinach, Swiss chard, lambs quarter, and beet leaves which contain high amounts of oxalates. Also, they are told to Stay away from black and green teas, and

Structures and metabolism, a need exists for a canine and/or

Oxalic acid is believed to be a reducing agent, bactericidal agent, Sterilizing agent, disinfectant, bacterioStatic agent, chemopreventive, chemotherapeutic agent, curative drug, antimicrobial agent, and may be an antioxidant. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that five or more items unnaturally constantly consumed are responsible for at least Some bacterial or viral infectious disease, tumors or cancers, and the like. These items, calcium, Vitamin B6, vitamin C, citric acid, and alcohol are

exposure to or treatment of radiation, X-rays, electromag netic fields and the like which tend to decompose or reduce the amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body. Along this same line, it is believed that conventional testing techniques, Such as the testing of carcinogens on mice may provide faulty results in that the first Step typically in Such testing is to irradiate the mice with radiation to weaken their immune System So that they are more Suscep tible to disease and carcinogens. The radiation to weaken the immune System also causes a reduction or elimination of the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the mice. In accordance with the

Over the years, many claims have been made regarding the beneficial health effects of many fruits, vegetables, plants, molds, etc. Recently, it has been claimed that garlic is believed to fight infection, cancer, bacteria, Virus, and heart disease, Strawberries are believed to help prevent prostate cancer, and tomatoes or Spaghetti Sauce are believed to prevent cancer and heart attacks. A recent Study indicated that two cups of coffee a day can prevent Suicide in women

example, X-rays can trigger malignant growths in certain people. Further, in accordance with the present invention, decomposition or reduction of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body caused by exposure or treatment of X-rays, CAT-Scans, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, electron bombardment, microwaves, and the like reduce the level of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body and further increase the chance of growths, tumors, cancers, and bacterial or viral disease. Hence, it is believed that one should not only increase the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate, but also avoids

include an increase in the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate and

eliminating or drastically reducing the intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers, allows the body's immune System or natural cancer and disease fighting Systems to function and eliminate abnormal cells and prevent disease. It is believed that carrots, Spinach, parsley, chives, beet leaves, garlic, collards, radishes, carrot juice, and the like are relatively high in Oxalic acid or oxalate and should be eaten or consumed in order to build a high concentration of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body. It is believed that if one can maintain a balanced diet and assure an adequate level of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the System then the body's natural protection mechanisms, immune System, and the like can prevent, treat, and control tumors, growths, cancers, Viral or

cancer or unspecialized cells and, thereby, treats cancers, tumors, neoplasms, infectious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial diseases, and maintains good health. Further, it has been discovered that a high oxalic acid or oxalate intake causes a disease or cancer patient to be more talkative, Verbal, have increased dexterity, physical ability, mental ability, and appear invigorated, happier and more outgoing. The conventional treatments for cancer, tumors, growths and the like can themselves cause cancer, tumors, growths, infectious bacterial or viral disease, and the like. For

Although others have indicated that vegetables are cancer fighters, they have listed the cancer fighting agents as

The literature Suggests that tumors occur when the immune System fails to eliminate abnormal cells not con Sumed as a normal biological function of the body Systems. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that a low intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate or a high intake of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers including alcohol, citric acid, ascorbic acid, and pyridoxine hydrochloride weakens the immune System or the body's natural cancer and disease fighting ability to the point where the body cannot control abnormal cell growth, tumors, cancer, neoplasms, bacterial or viral infectious disease, and the like. Changing the diet to

present invention, it is believed that a normal level of Oxalic acid or oxalate is required in the body to prevent cancers, growths, tumors, bacterial or viral disease, and the like. Hence, the researchers unknowingly introduced additional cancer and disease causing factor into the testing. In accordance with the present invention, an improved testing method would involve determining the normal oxalic acid or oxalate level of the test animal, weakening the immune System of the animal using radiation, and then administering or feeding to the animal a Sufficient quantity of Oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their oxalic acid or oxalate levels back up to normal prior to further testing. Also, in accordance with the present invention, it is believed that testing, research, and examinations which include X-rays or electronic Scans to insure no cancer is present or to check on the size or location of the cancer can themselves bring on disease or cancer by decomposing Oxalic acid or oxalate and irritating the Skin or tissue. Further, if test animals are fed a diet high in Oxalic acid or

oxalate in the animal is reduced and the test results may be skewed and possibly not representative of the natural normal animal biochemistry or system. Hence, it is believed that improved human examination and animal testing involves a reduction in the use of X-ray or electronic Scans, and the incorporation of a balanced diet containing oxalic acid or

Such as calcium, citric acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and

combinations thereof, and an increased consumption of alcoholic beverages. In accordance with the present invention, it is respectfully believed that oxalic acid or oxalate is a natural

chemopreventive, chemotherapeutic, bactericidal, Viricidal, antiviral, and disease preventing, treating, and controlling agent. Because it is natural, it destroys, kills, and/or controls

oxalate and a reduction in Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or capcer includes the elimination of the use of X-rays or electronic Scans during the testing process. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or cancer allows for the use of X-rays or electronic Scans to detect the presence or absence of disease or cancer, but requires that the Oxalic acid or oxalate decomposed or reduced by the X-ray or electronic Scan be replaced. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or cancer employs the use of an improved animal feed which includes at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate and with a reduced amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers from that of conventional feed.

If one is to administer and ingest Oxalic acid in one of its harsher forms Such as Oxalic acid dihydrate, for example, a gel cap filled with 500 milligrams to 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate, this should be taken one hour before or after a meal and with a Sufficient quantity of water Such as 10 or more ounces of distilled water. In order to further reduce the

possibility of harm or irritation to the digestive System, one can line the Stomach before taking Such an oxalic acid pill or gel cap using PeptoBismol, Tagamet, or Zyntec. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, workers exposed to X-rays, CAT-Scans, electro magnetic fields or waves, microwaves, radar, high Voltage power lines, electronic equipment and the like are given Sufficient quantities of foods, beverages, Supplements, treats or the like containing an effective amount of at least one beneficial form of Oxalic acid or oxalate to compensate for the decomposition or reduction caused by their working environment and thereby prevent the development of

In addition to the information provided in Table IV, nuts contain high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, iron and relatively high concentrations of oxalate. For example, almond, cashew, peanut, pecan, and walnut all contain Oxalic acid concentrations ranging from 200 mg/100 g-600 mg/100g. Forage grasses and other pasture plants frequently contain high concentrations of minerals but many of them also contain high concentrations of oxalate. Further, many beverages including beers, wines, and fruit drinks contain low concentrations of oxalate but tea, coffee, cocoa, and

In recent history, there has been an increase in throat and with the present invention, it is believed that this increase in throat and mouth cancer may be due in part to the use of microwave ovens which, when used in cooking or heating, decompose the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the food or beverage, the use of a myriad of electronic equipment including electric blankets, electric razors, electric hair blowerS or dryers, radios, televisions, computers, cell

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a person who believes they have been Subjected to radiation, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, microwaves, radar, Strong TV or radio waves, or work in a dangerous environment where they may be Subjected to X-rays or other elements which can decompose or reduce the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body, can test their blood, plasma or urine oxalic acid or oxalate level and if they find it is below normal, treat themselves with food, beverages, Supplements, pills, capsules, and the like containing Oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their level back up to a normal healthy level. Further, Such a person can pre-treat them Selves prior to exposure with Oxalic acid or oxalate to reduce the chance that their levels will drop below normal levels. This should prevent or reduce the increased risk to devel oping cancers, tumors, Viral or bacterial and viral diseases, and the like caused by having below normal oxalic acid or oxalate levels in the body. Solutions of Oxalic acid are decomposed by radiation. This has been the basis of a method for measuring radiation dosage in the Sterilization of food and medical products. The absorbed dose is determined from the decrease in Oxalic acid

Following one application of the cream the infection in the Sore on the hand was eliminated

Also, it is believed that the treatment for Oxalic acid or oak

poisoning is to increase oxalic acid or oxalate blockers, Such as pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, calcium, magnesium, and alcohol Such as ethanol to eliminate or carry the Oxalic acid through the renal System. Oxalate nephrosis is probably the most common cause of toxic death in dogs. Typically, the Source of oxalate poison

ing is ethylene glycol (antifreeze). The ethylene glycol is

15

metabolized to oxalate and Oxalic acid by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenasc. Ethylene glycol by itself is not toxic, but when the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, works

on it to produce a toxic material (oxalate), then it becomes toxic. Antifreeze poisoning is treated with alcohol (ethanol) to keep the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme busy So that the

antifreeze can be eliminated, unaltered, and in a non-toxic

State. A major contributor to death is also metabolic acidosis caused by Oxalic acid accumulation. It is almost as important to control the acid-based Status as it is worrying about the

Aspergillus sp. fungi also produces high levels of oxalate and these fungi are almost ubiquitous and grow on many feed stuffs. There are a variety of plants other than oak, for example halogenten, greasewood, Sorrel, dock, Setaria grass, Sugar beets, and Several others that contain oxalic acid. Oxalate nephrosis produces a very specific lesion in the kidney when viewed under the microScope. You can actually See the oxalate crystals. A pathologist who is unaware of primary hyperoxaluria would obviously draw the conclusion that the kidney lesions were the result of Oxalate nephrosis. Typically, cancer, tumors, growths, and the like are treated by invasive unnatural techniques, Such as Surgery, biopsy, X-ray radiation, oncological chemotherapy, and the like. In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that the primary treatment for cancer should be the all natural,

The poodle was examined by the veterinarian, received an injection of a antibiotic, and oral capsules were to be given. The inventor began an immediate Soaking of the paw in a composition or solution of 150 mg of oxalic acid in 300 ml of distilled water twice a day. After just two soakings the infection had improved dramatically, and the poodle used the leg without any signs of a limp. On another occasion while Visiting the Veterinary clinic, the inventor noticed the receptionist had Symptoms of a cold, and upon questioning the receptionist learned she was treating a cold which was into the Start of the Second week. When the inventor Suggested the receptionist use the Solu tion formulated for dental hygiene as a remedy for the cold, the receptionist agreed to do so. The inventor advised the receptionist that, each morning immediately upon rising, and prior to any other Substance being put into the mouth, she should take approximately one teaspoon of the Solution in her mouth, holding it for a minimum of two minutes, Swishing the Solution gently around the mouth, then dis carding the Solution and rinsing the mouth with warm water two or three times.

and the Sore healed quickly. During a veterinarian dental examination of the inventor's pet dogs, one dog had a moderate build up of tarter and plaque on the teeth and gingivitis in the upper gums, both Sides of the mouth. At the completion of the exam, rather than treat the gingivitis with an injection of antibacterial medication followed by oral medication, it was agreed the inventor would commence daily brushing of the dog's teeth. The formula used for the brushing was a mix of 150 mg. of oxalic acid in 300 ml of distilled water. The inventor began a daily brushing of the dog's teeth paying particular atten tion to the upper gums. The brushing was done first thing in the morning before the dog had anything to eat or drink. After the fourth day of brushing, the inventor/owner of the dog, noticed the redness of the gingivitis was disappearing and after one week returned the dog to the veterinarian for a follow-up exam. The exam revealed no more evidence of gingivitis and no tarter but moderate plaque remained.

infected perSon develops a life-threatening condition or their number of disease fighting T-cells becomes dangerously low. Current data indicates that among perSons age 25-44 years old, HIV infection is now the leading cause of death in men and is the third leading cause of death in women in the U.S. In 1995, approximately 40,000 Americans con tracted HIV. Worldwide, one million people died from AIDS last year and reported cases increased by 19 percent. It has been about 15 years since the HIV/AIDS virus was first identified. Tragically, the AIDS epidemic has claimed 4.5 million lives, worldwide. Today, Significant Strides are being made in understanding the virus and ways to battle the disease. There are 42 approved medicines and over 120 drugs currently being developed by pharmaceutical compa nies to fight HIV/AIDS. One promising advance in newly developed pharmaceu ticals for fighting HIV/AIDS is a new class of medicines called protease inhibitors. Studies show that when a protease

The second weekend of November, 1997, a woman prop erly in her early 60's agreed that she would go on the Oxalic acid diet of the present invention as near to 100% as possible. She had cancer of the pancreas and the liver. In both of these cancers, her prognosis was very poor. This woman had been through the conventional treatments and nothing more held any hope for her. At the time she started on the diet, she was showing a very slight yellowing of the skin. On Jan. 26, 1998, there was a call from a gentleman to report that she is doing just great. Her color has returned to normal, a very recent test showed the liver at 60% of normal and the tumors are in regression and her blood is clean. She told the gentleman who called to say she had passed the 600 pound mark of carrots. One more Success for the present invention.

George is keeping a detailed log of his diet and will document any Side effects and will ask the doctors each week about the progreSS in eliminating the tumor. I believe the tumor will be reduced more rapidly than the rate calculated by the radiologist and the doctor. A very significant item happened Thursday. October 24. On the evening news, there was an announcement that in clinical testing, nicotine may remove plaque in the brain and may reduce the effects of loss of memory of Alzheimer Victims. We describe that Oxalic acid may remove plaque from the blood. It is reported in Oxalic Acid in Biology and

minerals. 65

On CNN Prime Time News, there was a very short news item about a recent Study that showed people with Strong bones had a higher incident of cancer than people with weak bones.

6,133,318 41 The Study is very Significant because oxalic acid inhibits calcium absorption by the body. High calcium absorption is necessary for development and maintenance of Strong bones, and would not be possible if the body was high in Oxalic acid. However, high oxalic acid in the body System would not only inhibit calcium absorption but also would prevent the development of cancer. Too high levels of Oxalic acid could mean weak bones and Osteoporosis. First, my dog Missy, half dachshund and halfbeagle, had a dental exam and found to have a build up of tartar on the teeth and gingivitis active with a slight pocket by one tooth with pus. Her teeth and gums will be brushed daily with the Solution used for human dental hygiene and returned to the Veterinarian for examination weekly. Second, my poodle, Turk, had a torn toenail which had become infected. He received an injection of an antibiotic, and capsules of Amp-250 to be given 3 times daily. Also, his injured paw will be Soaked 3 times daily in an oxalic acid Solution the same Strength as the dental hygiene Solution. During the week following May 16, 1996, an adult female who is assisting me in documenting the history of my discovery, has been following a diet protocol as follows to assist in the absorption of calcium to prevent osteoporosis. She has also had operations to remove breast tumors which also required removal of the thyroid gland. The protocol is designed to add calcium Supplements to a normal daily diet

bined can form calcium oxalate Stones (kidney). Coffee, cocoa, regular tea, made with distilled water, and limited amounts of natural fruit juices are acceptable for drinking. All beverages should be free of citric acid. AS oxalic acid is built up in the System one may experi ence indigestion known as heartburn or a nagging backache. These are indicators that the Oxalic acid is being ingested in too large a quantity or the System is digesting the acid at a rate faster than it can be absorbed. Indigestion can be relieved by taking 2 or 3 teaspoonfuls of crushed pineapple. Relief for the backache can be accomplished by taking one 100 mg Vitamin B6 pill. A slight reduction or moderation of the intake of oxalic acid or oxalate will avoid either of the above conditions. Maximum effect of oxalic acid on tumor

reduction would be accomplished if an oxalic acid level can be maintained just below the discomfort level. Our research shows that five to seven days after start of the treatment, an increase in energy will be experienced. Some people notice a body weight loSS. Improvement in condition of the tumor should be noticed after 10 to 12 days. If there are multiple tumors, the newest tumors will

An oxalic acid intake adult management control plan includes four phases. In the first phase, the adult is admin istered about 1% to 2 grams of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day for 5-7 days to eliminate infectious disease, microbial disease, abnormal cells, or otherwise clean the blood of the patient for a 70 kilogram weight adult. For larger adults, the dosage would have to be increased. Also, Oxalic acid and oxalate levels are checked in the blood, plasma and/or urine to determine the exact amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate required for the individual Subject. In the Second phase of the treatment, the Subject is given about 34 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate for an additional 15-20 days until the infectious disease, microbial disease, or the growth or expansion of the tumor or malignancy has stopped and the tumor is in regression, eliminated, or inert. In the third phase the Subject is given about 72 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day to continue infectious disease, microbial disease or tumor reduction or until the body is clean. In the fourth phase or maintenance phase, the Subject is given about 50 mg of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day for maintenance of good health and to keep all disease or cancers in remission or in check. Again, these dosages arc provided for an average 70 kilogram adult and the individual’s Oxalic acid or oxalate levels need to be checked periodically and the dosages adjusted as necessary.

occurs in the cell Sap of the plants as the potassium or product of the metabolism of many molds.

Examples of chronic poi Soning by absorption of Oxalic acid through the Skin and by inhalation have been reported. The range of lethal doses in acute poisoning is wide, varying between 2 and 30 g and depending upon a variety of factorS Such as the form in which the acid or its Salt is taken and the amount of food,

Oxalic acid dihydrate, monoclinic tablets, prisms, and granules are considered poisonous. Anhydrous Oxalic acid is crystallized from glacial acetic acid and is orthorhombic with the crystals being pyramidal or elongated octahedral. Oxalic acid is listed as being caustic and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause Severe

activity of a number of enzymes possibly due to the com petition between oxalate and a structurally similar Substrate of the enzyme. Precipitation as the calcium salt is the classical method of Separating oxalic acid from other Sub stances. Although calcium oxalate is generally considered to be an insoluble salt this is a relative term and its solubility in water is actually 6–7 mg/l at room temperature. Biological fluids contain many substances that affect the solubility or rate of crystallization of calcium oxalate or co-precipitate with the Salt For example, magnesium, polyphosphates and other polyelectrolytes affect the solubility or rate of crystal lization of calcium oxalate while phosphate and Sulphate ions, uric acid and citric acid co-precipitate with the Salt. Further, as reported in a literature including "Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine', poisoning from oxalic acid in animals and man has been recognized since the beginning of

the 19” Century. The death rate from oxalate poisoning has

Convulsions, coma, or death from cardiovascular collapse can also occur. Conventional uses of Oxalic acid include as an analytical reagent, in calico printing and dying, for bleaching Straw and leather, removing paint or varnish, rust or ink Stains, clean ing wood, and manufacturing oxalates, blue ink, celluloid, intermediates and dyes, in metal polishes, in purifying methanol, for decolorizing crude gycerol, for Stabilizing hydrocyanic acid, as a general reducing agent, in ceramics and pigments, in metallurgy as a cleanser, in the paper industry, in photography, in proceSS engraving, in rubber manufacturing, in making glucose from Starch, as a con densing agent in organic chemistry, and a veterinary hemo Static agent when mixed in 5 percent Solution with 5 percent

particularly calcium, which is present in the Stomach and intestine. Death has occurred as early as 3 minutes and as late as 14 days after ingestion. Symptoms of acute Oxalic acid toxicity in man can be divided into those caused by a local corrosive action and those resulting from absorption and excretion of the Soluble oxalate. If a high concentration or the Solid form is taken, the local effects may be predomi nant and death may result from acute hemorrhagic gastro enteritis without development of Symptoms depending on absorption. If death does not result from local corrosive action then Symptoms develop from the Systemic effects and from renal insufficiency. The cardiovascular, neuromuscular and central nervous Systems are markedly affected. The skin

US 6,407,141 B1 3 is pale, cold and clammy, the pulse is weak and the blood preSSure and temperature are low. Numbness and tingling may develop in the extremities and cramp-like muscular and abdominal pain may be extremely Severe. Local or gener alized muscular twitching occur and may progreSS to marked tetany and convulsive Seizures. The central nervous System may show evidence of excitation or depression, varying from an acute maniacal State to Stupor and coma. Death results from cardiovascular collapse or depression of the central nervous System. Renal involvement is frequent and even if the patient Survives the Severe local or Systemic effects, death may ultimately occur from renal insufficiency, which dominates the picture from the Second day. Oliguria develops and may progreSS to anuria. Hence, there is a need for Oxalic acid or oxalate compositions and methods of producing Such compositions and for treating, preventing, impeding, retarding, delaying, and controlling vascular disorders, diseases, and calcerous conditions in patients.

The story begins with two toy poodles, Turk and Taka. These animals lived a normal house life. Except for the occasional trip or walk to the nearby reservoir, their territory was the house and backyard. AS young pups they were full of energy and, of course, very spoiled. Habits, mostly bad ones, were easily formed. Such as eating people food, Some of which, according to a veterinarian, would not hurt them. Turk became fond of SNICKERS(R) brand candy bars, espe cially the Small bite-size kind, and also carrots and beets, both of which are appearing in Some commercial dog foods today. During this time, Turk's owner, the present applicant and inventor, was doing a great deal of traveling, averaging one trip a week, and he always kept a small SNICKERS(R) bar

owner went on a frantic Search for answers. Turk's owner

contacted a number of agencies for possible clues to the poisoning: Tri-County Health Department; two toxicologists with the EPA; the U.S. Corps of Engineers, who assured him that they test the reservoir daily for contaminants, and UCLA and University of Illinois poison centers. Heavy rains would bring Standing water into the backyard, So Turk's owner tracked down the owners of a stable and a nursery that used to operate in the area before the houses were built, to See if they had used any type of toxic sprayS. Turk's owner contacted nurseries from which he had recently bought plants. Turk's owner even contacted the 3M Company, Since new carpeting with SCOTCHGARD(R) had been installed. Turk's owner asked all neighbors who had pets to find out if their pets had become Sick. Turk's owner also called veterinary clinics to find out if they had diagnosed similar caseS recently. He also Searched every Square foot of the house, garage, and Storage building looking for chemicals, especially antifreeze. Out of desperation, Turk's owner pleaded with the Veterinarians to list poisons that had the same fingerprint, and he would then choose one So Veterinarians could begin treatment. The Veterinarians declined. When blood began to appear in Turk's stool and vomit, and the kidneys had shut down, Turk was put to sleep. Turk's owner vowed that with God's help he would find out what had destroyed Turk. The attending veterinarian at the veterinary hospital was an organ Specialist and professor at Colorado State Univer sity. The Veterinarian extended his Sympathy and after a few other exchanges he informed Turk's owner that there is one Substance very damaging to renal tissue-oxalates. The owner drove directly to his company's quality control department lab where he cornered a chemist and questioned him about oxalates. The chemist Said that an oxalate is a

One outside activity of Turk's owner was, and still is, gardening. Naturally, he had a Subscription for the organic gardening magazine, and perused through every article. In the April 1986 edition he came across an article by Judith Benn Hurley, “Calcium From Your Garden,” and up popped the word oxalate. Imagine his Surprise, an industrial chemical, a poison, in a magazine on organic gardening. Once again the Search was on. The owner wrote a letter to MS. Hurley describing his research, the reason for it, and asked if she had anymore information on oxalates she could share. The reply he received provided him with more information than he could have hoped for. Her reply sent him to the library, to the Section containing books on nutrition. He read many Volumes and was amazed by the amount of information available on plant life and the effects of plant Vitamins on maintaining human life. His effort was rewarded when he found a volume Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis, 1965. It contains the perfect finger print of Turk's death. Chapter 19, page 239 states the following: When both vitamin B6 and magnesium are undersupplied, the kidneys are further damaged by Sharp crystals of

when the hair began growing out, it was black instead of gray or white. Many mornings before Starting the oxalate-free diet, the owner would get out of bed with a dull backache, and occasionally it would really spasm when he would lean over the wash basin while brushing his teeth. He complained and Swore he would get a new mattress, believing it to be the cause of the backaches. By the end of the day the ache would be gone and out of mind. When the backaches Stopped, he realized it was his kidneys and knew it was the Soybean

The owner's mind went back to information he had

that had raised his oxalate level to the point it began bothering his kidneyS. After retirement, Turk's owner was planning to move and Some friends Stopped by to visit. One evening while having cocktails with the friends, they began talking about health and age, etc. One of the ladies mentioned she needed bypass Surgery, but it could not be Scheduled because her red blood cell count was low, and the doctors could not get it to rise, even though She was on a third medication. Turk's owner's research had paid off. He gave his organic gardening maga zine to the lady and urged her to read the article by Judith Benn Hurley. He explained to her that the reason her red cell count was low was because of her diet. She ate very little

tities. Her diet contained items high in Oxalic acid, like Spinach, her favorite Salad. The owner mentioned that in his research he had discovered there were three chemicals that

had inadvertently killed Turk by feeding him candy bars, Soybean crackers, beets, carrots, and who-knows-what-else that might have been very high in oxalate, Oxalic acid or both. He believed that these snacks saturated Turk's system to a point where Turk's kidneys could no longer function. When that happened, the acid began to destroy renal tissue. AS the tissue was being destroyed, Turk's condition wors

also believed that Since oxalates and oxalic acid SuppreSS calcium, no healthy red blood cells were being produced. The blood in Turk's system had to have been totally satu rated with oxalic acid. When all the renal tissue was

destroyed, the kidneys shut down and Swelling began due to edema. There was no hope for recovery. Taka was not affected because he did not crave or eat

soybean crackers, beets or carrots, nor the SNICKERS(R) brand candy bars with peanuts. When the owner realized what caused Turk's death, he put Taka on an oxalate/oxalic acid-free diet. Some weeks after putting Taka on the diet, the color of Taka's coat, which had faded, began returning to normal. Knowing that a human could Suffer from an exceSS of Oxalates and Oxalic acid, the owner put himself on a

55

60

Similar diet as well.

Several Significant events occurred beginning with the return of the color of Taka's coat while on the oxalate-free

diet. The owner began to watch for Signs in his own hair and noticed that his graying Seemed to have at least Slowed down. Since the owner was due for a physical, he checked into a clinic and Stated he had Some minor pain in his chest

65

recurring attacks of heartburn he had prior to changing his diet and taking Vitamin B6. He thought it a great discovery. Then Turk's owner moved to Arkansas. His stepdaughter, who is married and living nearby, worked at a local hospital. One day she began running a high fever in the range of 104 -106, went home, and went straight to bed. The fever fell, and the next couple of days she returned to work only to have the fever return after a couple of hours. She went home and the cycle repeated. She mentioned this to a doctor in the emergency room and a Series of tests were ordered looking for a virus, an infection, even a tubular conception. Turk's owner became involved, because after listening to long, Sometimes whispered conversations between his wife and Stepdaughter, he asked what the trouble was. His wife explained what had happened and that the doctor was looking for Some type of urinary tract or vaginal infection, but there were no positive cultures. When he heard that the Stepdaughter experienced burning and irritation when urinating, he asked his wife why they did not think about diet. His Stepdaughter was eating primarily Salad bar meals loaded with oxalic acid. He had his wife immediately take a bottle of vitamin B6 pills to his stepdaughter with a Suggestion to take two pills immediately, another one after twelve hours, and one a day after that for the next week. In

US 6,407,141 B1 10 two days her fever was gone, and She went back to work. After the third day all Symptoms were gone and She was back to normal as best they could ascertain. Other people who complained of back pain without having muscle or Spine problems found relief after Turk's owner Suggested taking Vitamin B6. One day while drying off after a shower, Turk's owner noticed a mole-type growth on the inside of his right thigh. He had not noticed it before, and shortly after that, a growth began at the end of his right eyebrow near the bridge of his nose. AS the growth on the thigh became bigger, So did his curiosity. He picked at the growth until Some of it came off and it bled. Now curiosity turned to concern. A month later the growth on the thigh reappeared and the growth on the eyebrow grew larger. He would check both growths every day and they were always on his mind. He believes it was his obsession with Turk that guided his thoughts to Oxalic acid. This acid is readily available in foods people eat, So why would God put a substance in food He provided to Sustain life, if that Same Substance by assaulting the kidneys can kill life? It just did not make Sense. That question constantly ran through his mind begging to be answered. Night after night, hours were spent turning and tossing in restleSS Sleep, Searching and Searching for an answer. He had read every article in every magazine he could get his hands on about foods thought to help in the fight against cancer,

15

25

anitioxidants, free radicals, and anti-rust in the blood. One

night his mind Stopped on one particular item. It was a Sentence he had read about foods, and the importance they play in health and healing. “The acid in Strawberries is thought to help prevent prostate cancer.” Acid-there it was, that is the word that halted his mental computer. When he Woke up, questions began running through his mind. If Oxalic acid would destroy healthy renal tissue, could it possibly destroy Sick tissue first? Is cancer not considered to

35

be sick cells? Are these free radicals sick cells? What about

antioxidants? Are there really different types of cancer, or are they a similar type of Sick cell just in different parts of the body'? Why are there different types of chemotherapies? There were just too many questions. He had to go back and Start with his initial question. He asked a dear friend, a devout Christian, whether the Bible states that God put everything on earth that man needs? At the same time he went on a very high oxalic acid diet and avoided citric acid and reduced his intake of pyridoxines and alcohol to a

Later, Turk's owner learned of a close friend who had 40

45

minimum. His dear friend came back and Said she told her

Bible class of his request. They searched the Bible and noted three places that mention God providing for all of man's needs. What is significant is that articles describing food groups for cancer prevention, especially the vegetable groups, name those that have significant amounts of Oxalic

50

acid as per USDA Bulletin #11 (Table I). At this time he became convinced it was not the beta caroteine, the Vitamin

C, or anything else that was the cancer fighter-it was Oxalic acid. Once again he started asking himself questions. Would oxalic acid destroy sick cells before healthy cells? The only answer he could come up with is the affirmative. The story continues with the Submittal of U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/006,785, filed Nov. 15, 1995, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/629,538, filed Apr. 9, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,133,317 and U.S. provisional applica

After placing himself on a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the growth on Turk's owner's thigh began to disappear and shortly thereafter the growth on his eyebrow as well. Even tually both growths were completely gone. Another sign of the result of the high oxalic acid diet was the disappearance of a couple of polyps around the anal orifice. These had appeared when he went on the low oxalate/low Oxalic acid diet, and now when he reversed the diet these growths disappeared. Later, his own daughter informed him that her mother was having a lot of Stomach or digestive problems and was due for exploratory Surgery. During the operation they discov ered cancer in the abdominal cavity and removed all possible, estimated at 80 percent. There was cancer in the bladder, and they planned an extensive chemotherapy pro gram. However, a specialty lab in California which received the tissue Sample, determined it was a rare type of cancer, with no known treatment. His daughter, who was at her mother's Side constantly, agreed to try his Oxalic acid procedure. With his Suggestion and the help of a juicer, she prepared a mixture of carrots, Spinach, parsley, and chives. He Suggested She try to get her mother to drink Six to eight ounces of the mixture at least three times a day. At the Start, her mother complained of the taste, Sohe Suggested She mix Some V8(R) juice with the mixture to enhance the flavor. This worked, and her mother began to drink the mixture. He felt that by having it in liquid form, more oxalic acid would enter her System more rapidly and begin to attack the Sick cells. On the third day after her mother began drinking the mixture, his daughter talked with the nurse who said, “In the morning when she took the patient's Vital Signs they were the best Since the patient had come to the hospital. Her temperature was down, blood pressure was down, and pulse rate was near normal.” In addition, the yellowish skin color began to change. Then, for reasons unknown, her mother stopped drinking the mixture. Shortly after that her mother passed away.

prostate cancer, initially treated with a radiation implant which failed to keep the growth in check, and now would be undergoing chemotherapy. He urged his friend with prostate cancer to try his Oxalic acid dietary treatment. He sent an explanatory letter with copies of articles about the Veg etables along with a list of items containing oxalates and Oxalic acid. Later, he talked with his friend who gave him Some revealing data. Prior to starting the Oxalic acid dietary treatment, his friend had been to an oncologist because the cancer was spreading into the pelvic area and his PSA count was 350. When his friend returned to his primary care physician months later after being on the Oxalic acid diet, he was feeling better, his PSA was down to 246, and the doctor was Surprised because he did not think his patient would Survive long enough to See him again. It seemed the doctor knew the chemotherapy would not work and it may have been given just So his friend would not despair. Turk's owner sent a copy of the Judith Been Hurley article to his friend and believed that low calcium in the bone marrow was probably the reason his friend with prostate cancer was tired and felt pain in the thigh and pelvic area. Turk's owner, the Applicant, further investigated to try to better establish the relationship between oxalic acid and

US 6,407,141 B1 11 ined. The oral tumor had been removed Several years ago, when it was confirmed as malignant, but it had grown back. The question was posed if a high oxalic acid or oxalate diet Supposedly works on humans, would it not also work on this dog? They felt confident, since The Merck Manual does state that 90 percent of cancers are due to environment and nutrition. And So, they embarked on taking the Setter off canned dog food (high in pyridoxines) and feeding a regular dry high protein dog food mixed with three or four boiled carrots and topped with chopped parsley. The canine was

12 Setter's condition, and felt that the reduction in the size of

the tumor was a positive sign that the Oxalic acid or oxalate was working. An autopsy of the Irish Setter revealed the malignant melanoma with metastasis, adrenal gland pheochromocytoma, acute cystitis, the urinary bladder mucosa appeared diffusely thickened, granular and hemor rhagic in appearance with the presence of moderate amounts of a turbid reddish-brown urine, a large encapsulated necrotic mass within the omental adipose tissue, with no other significant groSS lesions noted within other areas of the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, trachea, lungs, heart, Spleen, kidneys, musculoskeletal System, and gastrointestinal tract. Hence, it appears that the Oxalic acid or oxalate diet did not damage any of the dog's organs or kidneyS. It is believed

Started on a diet of three or four medium sized boiled carrots,

mixed with approximately 1/2 pounds of dry dog food. Three to five days after Starting on the diet, the canine showed an improvement in appetite and energy. After three weeks of being on this diet, there was a noticeable reduction in size and appearance of the tumor on the canine's mouth. Almost a month after Starting on the above diet, the canine's diet was changed to a mixture of about one pound of boiled carrots, one teaspoon of garlic, one-quarter cup chopped fresh parsley, and one and one-half pounds of dry dog food containing no citric acid. This diet was varied based on the canine's condition with the mouth tumor being measured and recorded by a veterinarian. The mouth tumor exhibited expansion or Swelling and reduction cycles. The canine's urine was tested for oxalate count and a result showed about

15

25

50 mg per liter of Oxalic acid. After about five months on this diet, the canine produced feces including mucous and intestinal membrane. Upon this happening all oxalic acid or oxalate addition to the canine's diet was stopped. It is believed that a high level of oxalic acid or oxalate intake causes a Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the Small intestine including old bacteria, food, Waste, and intestinal cells and membrane. After about a

Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet, and in less than one

month, urine was drawn from the canine to test for oxalate 35

mg/L. Three days later, the canine was restarted on a diet having about 1 gram of Oxalic acid added to one pound of dry dog food. A canine urine oxalic acid Scale was calculated based on a scale of 0-40 mg/L for a 70 kg human, and adjusting this for a 25 kg canine to have a desired range of about 0-14 mg/L. The canine was started on a new diet of approximately one and one-half pounds of dry dog food to 1 gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in about three ounces of water and mixed together and adding one-half can

40

45

protein to the diet. A little more than two weeks later the diet was changed to reduce the Oxalic acid dose to 500 mg per

day and the canine was given four beef strips (approximately 25 grams) with 27 percent protein each evening. Thirty days

later the dose was dropped to 300 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 50 mg oxalic acid/day. Two weeks later the dose was dropped to 20 mg oxalic acid per day which was maintained till the animal was eutha

nized. The canine's mouth tumor had reduced in size in an

eleven month period. The Oxalic acid dihydrate was pur chased from Swift Chemical Company, Rogers, Ark., and

55

dissolved in water to use as a food additive to the canine diet.

Much to their Surprise, the dog Seemed to crave the carrots and parsley. The Setter's activity increased Steadily to the point where he actively competed with a four-year old

60

Doberman and a nine-month old Rottweiler. The diet was

working. What was once a large Saggy Sack of black tissue Visibly hanging from the Setter's mouth changed to a considerably smaller and firmer growth. The reduction in the growth of the oral tumor slowed over time; however, it must be remembered that the tumor took nearly Six years to achieve the mass it once was. They continued to monitor the

In accordance with another case Study, a dog at a pound was given one gram of Oxalic acid dihydrate in a gel cap one hour prior to meal time for Seven days with no adverse effects.

month She reported that the Smallest growth was reducing in size. The Subject remained very strictly on the diet and a week later reported that the Smallest growth was gone with only a rough Spot remaining. A few days later the Subject reported that the next size growth seemed to be reducing. Less than a month later, the Subject reported that the large growth was considerably reduced. This process continued and less than a year after Starting on the increased oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject reported that one Small growth remained which was only noticeable during her menstrual period. In accordance with another case Study, an adult male human Subject Suffering from a brain tumor, had been through all the different conventional treatments including Surgery chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. The tumor was never totally removed and remained malignant. The subject was told of the possible beneficial effects of oxalic acid or oxalate and began on a treatment regimen of four heaping Soup Spoons of dried parsley daily and a reduction of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. This should equate to approximately four grams of Oxalic acid per day. Three to four months later, the subject had a CAT scan where the tumor was examined and did not show any growth. The Subject also had visible signs of noticeable improvement in health. Approximately six months after Starting on the enhanced oxalic acid or oxalate diet, the Subject was much more active and friendly towards others. Approximately eight months after Starting on the enhanced oxalic acid diet the Subject was very excited about the diet, feeling much better. The Subject had expected and experienced the toxic effects of indigestion, diarrhea, and the Sloughing off of the interior Surface of the intestine. The Subject also indicated that the tumor was in the inactive Stage. Also the Subject indicated that his memory and thinking capability had returned and he could now accomplish functions he could not prior to following the diet. He was in the process of rebuilding an engine, replacing a carburetor, changing an oil pan. changing the oil and Spark plugs, and other activities that prior to Starting on the enhanced Oxalic acid or oxalate diet were impossible.

US 6,407,141 B1 13 Doctors had not given this patient much time to live, and it is believed that the enhanced Oxalic acid or oxalate diet

with reduced blockers had treated, controlled, or otherwise

beneficially affected his brain tumor and overall health. He was still alive and functioning better after nine months. An adult female in her sixties was terminally ill with leukemia with tumors in her lymph nodes and she had Stopped chemotherapy treatment. She was told about the possible beneficial effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate and Started on a daily intake of about 1 to 1/2 g/day Oxalic acid or oxalate and almost no oxalic acid or oxalate blockers. It was

hard for her to Swallow So she was on a liquid diet because of the Swelling of the lymph nodes in and around her mouth and throat. After 5-7 days of administration of oxalic acid or oxalate in dilute Solution she was able to eat again due to the Shrinkage of tumors in the lymph nodes. This dramatic effect

14 reduced and in less than 2 months of being on the diet her blood work showed a large reduction in the cancer in the blood and that the cancer was in regression. Her condition improved So much So that the doctorS Stopped conventional chemotherapy treatment. In another case Study, an adult female with breast cancer went on a diet including an intake of about 4 ounces of carrot juice per day along with chicken broth. In about Sweeks she was sent home from the hospital. She was walking, went to the mall and was eating potato chips. Previously, she had been hospitalized and on a liquid diet. In accordance with another case Study, an adult female Suffering from breast cancer went on an increased Oxalic acid diet, Stopped using the microwave oven to cook foods, Stopped chemotherapy treatments, cut CAT-Scans down to once a month, and in a short time her blood was tested and

After being diagnosed with cancer confirmed with X-ray, the dog was placed on a diet of Oxalic acid enhanced dogfood containing about 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in water and added to conventional dry dogfood. Within 4 days, the dog had lowered its left hind leg and used it frequently in activity with a companion dog. A few days later, the dog began taking Steps on the left hind leg with a Slight limp. The dog's condition continued to improve and it's diet was changed to reduce the Oxalic acid to about 1 gram of Oxalic acid/per day. After a couple of weeks the dog's condition continued to improve So the dosage of Oxalic acid was reduced to about 500 mg/per day. The dog appears to be walking with no pain and an X-ray revealed an

increased oxalic acid or oxalate and reduced Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet and when she went in to have the

Surgery done, they discovered that her tumor had turned to liquid. Her diet or treatment regimen included a low intake of red meat or white meat of fowl, a low intake of Soda pop or other beverages containing citric acid, a low intake of foods containing citric acid, an intake of about 4 ounces of carrot juice per day with 2 ounces taken in the morning and 2 ounces in the evening, and a low intake of alcohol. Apparently, the Oxalic acid in the carrot juice may have turned the tumor cells into a liquid and all that was necessary was for the liquid to be drained. In another case Study, an adult female having breast cancer Started on a high oxalic acid or oxalate and low Oxalic acid or oxalate blocker diet. The growth of the cancer was

Since certain cancers in animals are believed to be caused

by viruses, it was postulated by the present inventor. that Oxalic acid or oxalate may be useful in treating infectious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral. or other microbial diseases in addition to treating cancers, tumors, neoplasms, and the like. This invention relates generally to methods and compo Sitions containing Oxalic acid or oxalate or related com pounds for providing therapeutic effects Such as the control. prevention, or treatment of cancer, tumors, neoplasia, infec tious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial diseases, etc. It was initially discovered that a lack of Oxalic acid or oxalate in the diet of a human, allowed or promoted the growth of tumors, growths, or other neoplasia. It was then discovered that the ingestion or administration of a therapeutic quantity of Oxalic acid, oxalate or foods con taining high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can deter, reduce, or prevent the growth or spread of cancer, tumors, or other neoplasia. Then, it was discovered that an oxalic acid Solution controlled, prevented, or treated infectious or patho genic bacterial or viral diseaseS Such as colds, flu, Sore throat, and the like.

It has also been discovered that the therapeutic effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate can be inhibited by an increased ingestion or administration of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers including, for example, calcium, alcohol, citric acid, ascor 60

bic acid (vitamin C), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), etc. Other oxalic acid or oxalate blockers include binding agents Such as clay, resins, and indigestible fibers. Radiation, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, electron bombardment, excessive heat, and bases Such as Sodium

classical method of Separating oxalic acid from other Sub stances. Although calcium oxalate is generally considered to be an insoluble salt this is a relative term and its solubility in water is actually 6–7 mg/l at room temperature. Biological fluids contain many substances that affect the solubility or rate of crystallization of calcium oxalate or co-precipitate with the Salt. For example, magnesium, polyphosphates and other polyelectrolytes affect the solubility or rate of crystal lization of calcium oxalate while phosphate and Sulphate ions, uric acid and citric acid co-precipitate with the Salt. Also as described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, oxalic acid and its salts are widely distributed among the higher plants. Oxalic acid is Sometimes present in plants as the free acid, but more usually, however, it is present as a Soluble or insoluble Salt, for example, the acid and neutral Sodium and potassium Salts and the ammonium

of Oxalic acid or oxalate. Oxalic acid or oxalate enhancers which increase the beneficial effect of Oxalic acid or oxalate

include long chain fatty acids and the like which bind with or otherwise eliminate oxalic acid blockerS Such as calcium.

High levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate can produce Side effects of diarrhea, indigestion, damage to the digestive tract, and kidney damage or renal failure. Hence, prolonged ingestion or administration of high quantities of Oxalic acid or oxalate should be avoided so that the beneficial thera

peutic effect of the reduction, control, or treatment of tumors, cancers, neoplasia, neoplasms, infectious or patho genic bacterial, Viral, or other disease can be enjoyed without harm to other systems or parts of the body.

Salt. Calcium oxalate is the most common insoluble Salt but

AS mentioned above, Oxalic acid or ethanedioic acid

(CHO), is a dicarboxylic acid and is present in many

plants and vegetables, notably in those of the Oxalis and Rumex families, where it often occurs in the cell Sap of the

plants as the potassium or calcium Salt (oxalate, Tables I-IV). Oxalic acid is also a product of the metabolism of

many molds. Several Species of Penicillim and Aspergillis convert Sugar into calcium oxalate with a 90 percent yield under optimum conditions. Oxalic acid is also made by passing carbon monoxide into concentrated NaOH or heat ing sodium formate in the presence of NaOH. Oxalic acid dihydrate, monoclinic tablets, prisms, and granules are considered poisonous. Anhydrous Oxalic acid is crystallized from glacial acetic acid and is orthorhombic with the crystals being pyramidal or elongated octahedral. Oxalic acid is listed as being caustic and corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes. Ingestion may cause Severe gastroenteritis, with Vomiting, diarrhea, or melena. Renal damage can occur as a result of formation of excessive calcium oxalate crystals. Convulsions, coma. or death from cardiovascular collapse can also occur. Common uses of Oxalic acid include as an analytical reagent, in calico printing and dying, for bleaching Straw and leather, removing paint or varnish, rust or ink Stains, clean ing wood, and manufacturing oxalates, blue ink, celluloid, intermediates and dyes, in metal polishes, in purifying methanol, for decolorizing crude glycerol, for Stabilizing hydrocyanic acid, as a general reducing agent, in ceramics and pigments, in metallurgy as a cleanser, in the paper industry, in photography, in process engraving, in rubber manufacturing, in making glucose from Starch, as a con densing agent in organic chemistry, and as a veterinary hemostatic agent when mixed in 5 percent Solution with 5 percent malonic acid. As described in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine” by A. Hodgkinson, 1977, oxalic acid was formerly used intravenously as a hemostatic agent and topically as an antiseptic in man and other animals but this was discontin ued because of its toxicity and the danger of precipitating

35

average Serving (60 g) of spinach or rhubarb had been 40

400 and 600 mg/day but these levels are not typical for this country. Wide variations in oxalate intake may occur in countries Such as India where vegetables rather than dairy products provide the main Source of minerals and where many of the plants used as Vegetables contain high concen trations of Oxalate. Some indication of these variations has

45

50

55

60

been provided by a study which found intakes ranging from 78-2045 mg/day depending on the Season in the rural population of Udaipur, India. A relatively high intake was also found among upper-income groups in urban areas and was attributed to a high intake of tea and green, leafy vegetables, compared with lower-income groups. As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, when taken with food, ingested oxalate is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Although oxalate absorption appears to be unaffected by metabolic inhibitors it is reduced by the presence of calcium which lowers the concentration of free oxalate ions. It is well known, for example that calcium oxalate is absorbed less readily than Sodium oxalate and absorption is also reduced by the oral administration of

cholestyramine (anion exchange resin which has a strong affinity for oxalate ions). Conversely, oxalate absorption is increased when the dietary intake of calcium is reduced and this is reflected in an increased urinary excretion of Oxalate. In addition to a low calcium diet, the intake of dySodium

with monovalent metals and ammonia. Oxalic acid forms a

number of oxalates or Salts including calcium oxalate. potassium oxalate, Sodium oxalate, Strontium oxalate, mag

ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) appears to

nesium oxalate, and the like. Oxalic acid also inhibits the

activity of a number of enzymes possibly due to the com petition between oxalate and a structurally similar Substrate of the enzyme. Precipitation as the calcium Salt is the

of the effect of oxalate on calcium availability and the high incidence of calcium oxalate renal Stones in many parts of the world. As shown in Table V, the reported numbers for daily oxalate intake range from 70-980 mg/per day of anhydrous acid for healthy adult males. However, this information was based on the Study of diets which contain no oxalate-rich foods other than tea which is the largest Single Source of the acid in typical English diets. If an

included then the oxalate intake would have risen to between

insoluble calcium oxalate in the tissues. Oxalic acid is a

relatively Strong acid having a first dissociation constant being exceeded by that of only a few halogen-Substituted carboxylic acids. Oxalic acid forms neutral and acid Salts

relatively large amounts of magnesium oxalate occur together with calcium oxalate in plants Such as beet root, Spinach, and buckwheat. Under conditions of calcium deficiency, Strontium, magnesium, or barium oxalate can be Substituted for calcium oxalate in a wide variety of plant Species depending upon the mineral environment. Further, as mentioned in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, there have been many studies of the oxalate

increase the absorption of oxalate by complexing of calcium with EDTA in the intestinal lumen leaving more oxalate free to be absorbed.

US 6,407,141 B1 17

Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine', the most important precursors of urinary oxalate in man are ascorbic acid, glycine, and dietary oxalate. Excretion of Oxalate is also increased by the ingestion of a variety of Substances including glycine, alutamic acid, purines, gelatin, and ascorbic acid. Conversely, excretion has been reported to be reduced by the administration of pyridoxine and magnesium oxide. LeSS than half of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid can be accounted for by absorption into the body or excretion in the faeces. The remainder of the normal dietary intake of Oxalic acid appears to be destroyed by a bacterial action in the large intestine. With a dietary intake of about 130 mg/day, more than 50 mg/day appears to be destroyed by bacterial action. Also as reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, large discrepancies have been reported in the

local corrosive action and those resulting from absorption and excretion of the Soluble oxalate. If a high concentration or the Solid form is taken, the local effects may be predomi nant and death may result from acute hemorrhagic gastro enteritis without development of Symptoms depending on absorption. If death does not result from local corrosive action then Symptoms develop from the Systemic effects and from renal insufficiency. The cardiovascular, neuromuscular and central nervous Systems are markedly affected. The skin is pale, cold and clammy, the pulse is weak and the blood preSSure and temperature are low. Numbness and tingling may develop in the extremities and cramp-like muscular and abdominal pain may be extremely Severe. Local or gener alized muscular twitchings occur and may progreSS to marked tetany and convulsive Seizures. The central nervous System may show evidence of excitation or depression, varying from an acute maniacal State to stupor and coma. Death results from cardiovascular collapse or depression of the central nervous System. Renal involvement is frequent and even if the patient Survives the Severe local or Systemic effects, death may ultimately occur from renal insufficiency, which dominates the picture from the Second day. Oliguria developS and may progreSS to anuria. Infection with Oxalic acid producing fungi of aspergillus may result in massive deposition of calcium oxalate at the Sight of infection and also renal oxalosis, leading to renal

"normal” concentration of Oxalic acid in mammalian blood.

Early studies obtain values ranging from 2-4 mg/100 ml of blood. Another study indicated that the normal blood con centration is probably less than 1 mg/100 ml of blood. Improved testing methods have given results in normal values within the range of 100 tug/100 ml to 800 tug/100 ml. More recent tests of human plasma have produced normal Oxalic acid concentration ranging from 11.8-14.3 ug/100 ml of blood in man and 52.6 to 74.4 ug/100 ml of blood in sheep

acid/100 ml was reported for normal human blood, a figure which is probably much nearer to the normal value. Feeding experiments and radioisotope Studies have indi cated that a considerable number of compounds are precur Sors of Oxalic acid in animals and man, for example, glycine, glyoxylic acid, glycolic acid, ethyleneglycol, ascorbic acid,

Oxamide (ethanediamide, oxalamide, oxalic acid diamide, or ethanedioic acid diamide, or CHNO) is

and tryptophan (Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine). Studies with ascorbic acid have shown that the main excre

tory products of Vitamin C in man are oxalate, ascorbic acid, and dehydroascorbic acid. From 17-40 percent of adminis

35

tered ascorbic acid was excreted as Oxalic acid.

As reported in “Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, a high oxalate intake reduces the intestinal absorption of calcium because of the formation of insoluble calcium

oxalate and prolonged exposure to Such a diet may lead to loSS of bone mineral, particularly if the diet is also deficient in calcium or Vitamin D. This situation is unlikely to occur very often in Western countries where there is a plentiful Supply of milk and other dairy products and oxalate-rich foods are relative uncommon. However, in developing coun tries Such as India the Situation is often quite different because tropical vegetables frequently with a high oxalate content provide the main Source of minerals and the total oxalate intake may well exceed the calcium intake in certain Seasons. Dietary oxalate is poorly absorbed on a normal diet containing adequate amounts of calcium. Further, as reported in literature including "Oxalic Acid in Biology and Medicine”, poisoning from Oxalic acid in animals and man has been recognized since the beginning of the 19th Century. The death rate from oxalate poisoning has declined Supposedly because of a decreased use of Oxalic acid in domestic cleaning fluids. Examples of chronic poi Soning by absorption of Oxalic acid through the Skin and by inhalation have been reported. The range of lethal doses in acute poisoning is wide, varying between 2 and 30 g and depending upon a variety of factorS Such as the form in

Also, in accordance with the present invention, Severe gastroenteritis, vomiting, diarrhea, melena, renal disease, renal damage, convulsions, coma, cardiovascular collapse, and the like caused by Oxalic acid are treated or prevented by limiting or by reducing oxalic acid or oxalate intake and/or administering therapeutic quantities of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockerS Such as calcium, alcohol, potassium, citric acid, Vitamin B6, vitamin C, and combinations thereof.

which the acid or its Salt is taken and the amount of food,

particularly calcium, which is present in the Stomach and intestine. Death has occurred as early as 3 minutes and as late as 14 days after ingestion. Symptoms of acute oxalic acid toxicity in man can be divided into those caused by a

metabolized in the body to form oxalic acid. In accordance with the present invention, therapeutically effective amounts of at least one therapeutically effective form of oxalate or oxalic acid including, oxalic acid dihydride, anhydrous Oxalic acid, potassium oxalate, Sodium oxalate, oxamide, plants or vegetables containing oxalic acid or the potassium Salt thereof, or combinations thereof are administered periodically to prevent, control, or treat infec tious or pathogenic bacterial, Viral, or other microbial dis eases or conditions and/or neoplasia, cancers, tumors, neoplasms, and the like. Further, these compounds are administered along with a therapeutically effective reduction in the administration or ingestion of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockerS Such as calcium, potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6,

65

Oxalic acid dihydrate is commercially available in powdered, granular or crystal form or in liquid form for use as an industrial cleanser or Solvent preparation. In accordance with the present invention, oxalic acid may be present in a free acid, ester, lactone, or Salt form. Also, Oxalic acid, oxalate or related compound having the desired beneficial effect may be used as a composition, additive, Supplement, remedy, and the like alone or in combination to prevent, control, or treat cancer, tumors, neoplasia, neoplasms, infectious or pathogenic bacterial or viral diseases, and the like.

In accordance with the present invention, a therapeutic composition may be formed by adding oxalic acid dihydrate to food or drink to provide for the oral ingestion of a therapeutically effective quantity of Oxalic acid. Atherapeutic composition of Oxalic acid or oxalate com pound of the present invention may be prepared by forming a food or drink including plants or vegetables high in Oxalic acid or oxalate, for example carrots, carrot juice, chives,

vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B1, vitamin B2,

niacin. Vitamin B6, pholate, Vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, iron, iodine, Zinc, and copper. A daily value has not been established for oxalic acid. Each tablet would contain the

parsley, beets, spinach, or combinations thereof (see Tables I–IV).

Atherapeutic composition of the present invention in the form of a daily Supplement, pill, gel cap, pharmaceutical, or the like is prepared by placing a therapeutically effective amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate compound in pill form for oral ingestion as directed. A therapeutic composition of the present invention in cream or ointment form for topical administration of Oxalic acid is prepared by mixing a dilute concentration of Oxalic

In accordance with a particular example, a four pound Sourdough bread loaf is made from conventional bread ingredients including flour, water, yeast, and Sourdough and has added thereto two rounded tablespoons of dried, chopped parsley which is mixed with the other ingredients to be disbursed throughout the loaf. These two rounded tableSpoons of dried parsley provide approximately 2 grams

much oxalic acid or oxalate may cause back pain (due to kidney trouble), heartburn, indigestion, heart trouble, nerve trouble, and the like. Thus, it is recommended that each

individual case be Studied and that the proper dosage of a therapeutically effective amount of Oxalic acid, oxalate, enhancers, and/or blockers be administered on a periodic basis at one level to maintain proper health by preventing neoplasia, tumors, growths. neoplasms, bacterial or viral 15

the loaf contains about 1 gram, /4 of the loaf contains about /2 gram, /18 of the loaf contains /4 of a gram, and /16 of the loaf contains about /s of a gram of Oxalic acid. In accordance with one embodiment of the present

25

invention, the above described loaf of Oxalic acid or oxalate

containing Sourdough bread is used in a method of thera peutically treating a warm-blooded animal by having the animal periodically ingest a portion of the loaf. For example, in the treatment of an adult male human, he could ingest daily up to about/2 of a loaf of this bread to achieve a dosage of Oxalic acid of up to about 1 gram Oxalic acid per day. This dosage may be reduced after a period of time and given a certain health condition to /2 gram or leSS Oxalic acid per day, and, as Such, 4 loaf or less of the bread per day. The above described Oxalic acid or oxalate containing Sourdough bread does not include any Salt, Sugar or preser Vatives Since the Oxalic acid Serves as a preservative. In using oxalic acid or oxalate as a therapeutic agent, one must be careful to administer the proper dosage given certain health conditions or in order just to maintain a healthy condition Since an overdose of Oxalic acid or oxalate can cause indigestion, heartburn, backache, or Severe prob lems. Such as renal failure, heart failure, diarrhea, vomiting, convulsions, melena, and the like. It is believed that a proper

Since each perSon or animal is different. and their body chemistries operate in at least Some Small fashion differently than other perSons or animals, the administration of a therapeutically effective dosage of Oxalic acid, oxalate, enhancers, and/or blocking agents should be reevaluated and monitored on a regular basis by, for example, physical examination, X-ray, CAT Scan, MRI imaging, Sonogram. biopsy, blood analysis, urine analysis, fecal analysis, as well as other conventional diagnostic techniques. It is believed that a proper balanced diet including foods containing Oxalic acid in one of its forms including oxalate which may be metabolized by a human or other warm-blooded animal can Serve to maintain proper health, extend life, increase the quality of life, increase energy, increase cranial activity, prevent neoplasia, tumors, cancers, neoplasms, infectious bacterial, Viral, or microbial disease, etc., help to combat Viruses, bacteria, improve the immune System, and provide other beneficial short term and long term health effects.

It is believed that oxalic acid or oxalate may be a blood purifying agent which in addition to controlling, treating, or eradicating infectious bacteria or viruses and abnormal cells, Oxalic acid in the blood may control cholesterol and plaque or fat buildup. Thus, the periodic or daily administration of a certain quantity of Oxalic acid in one of its therapeutically effective forms including oxalate may serve to not only purify the blood, but also control, treat, or effect cholesterol, plaque, and fat buildup in the cardiovascular System or in the brain, and in So doing improve and maintain good cardio vascular health and operation. It is believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate may also be an effective treatment for parvo. Also, Oxalic acid or oxalate may be used as a hemostatic and antiseptic agent in and on

On the other hand, plants, vegetables and chemicals which contain high levels of Oxalic acid or oxalate are according to conventional wisdom thought to be poisons and to be eliminated from the diet or use. For example, those Suffering from kidney Stones are told to Stay away from rhubarb leaves, Spinach, Swiss chard, lambs quarter, and beet leaves which contain high amounts of oxalates. Also, they are told to stay away from black and green teas, and

If one is to administer and ingest Oxalic acid in one of its harsher forms Such as Oxalic acid dihydrate, for example, a gel cap filled with 500 milligrams to 2 grams of Oxalic acid dihydrate, this should be taken one hour before or after a meal and with a Sufficient quantity of water Such as 10 or more ounces of distilled water.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or cancer includes the elimination of the use of X-rays or electronic Scans during the testing process. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or cancer allows for the use of X-rays or electronic Scans to detect the presence or absence of disease or cancer, but requires that the Oxalic acid or oxalate decomposed or reduced by the X-ray or electronic Scan be replaced. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an improved method of testing for disease or cancer employs the use of an improved animal feed which includes at least one form of Oxalic acid or oxalate and with a reduced amount of Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers from that of conventional feed.

Hence, the researchers unknowingly introduced additional cancer and disease causing factor into the testing. In accordance with the present invention, an improved testing method would involve determining the normal oxalic acid or oxalate level of the test animal, weakening the immune System of the animal using radiation, and then administering or feeding to the animal a Sufficient quantity of Oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their oxalic acid or oxalate levels back up to normal prior to further testing. Also, in accordance with the present invention, it is believed that testing, research, and examinations which include X-rays or electronic Scans to insure no cancer is present or to check on the size or location of the cancer can themselves bring on disease or cancer by decomposing Oxalic acid or oxalate and irritating the Skin or tissue. Further, if test animals are fed a diet high in Oxalic acid or

In addition to the information provided in Table IV, nuts contain high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, iron and relatively high concentrations of oxalate. For example, almond, cashew, peanut, pecan, and walnut all contain Oxalic acid concentrations ranging from 200 mg/100 g-600 mg/100g. Forage grasses and other pasture plants frequently contain high concentrations of minerals but many of them also contain high concentrations of oxalate. Further, many beverages including beers, wines, and fruit drinks contain

Oxalic acid is in the chemical family carboxylic acid, aliphatic and is listed as a poison with a level three out of a scale 0-3 for health, and a level 1 fire rating. In accordance with the present invention it is believed that conventional wisdom that the cause of acorn poisoning is tannic acid is wrong and that it is instead the Oxalic acid which is extremely damaging to renal tissues. It is believed that the Oxalic acid or oxalate level in oak trees is very high, especially in mold that grows on the bark. Also, it is believed that the treatment for Oxalic acid or oak

For example, if one kills all the bacteria in the mouth of a human or other animal, they can develop a fungus or fungal infection referred to as thrush. Using the natural therapeutic oxalic acid or oxalate Solution as a mouth rinse or gargle only kills the “bad” or infectious bacteria and, therefore, does not lead to an unwanted fungal infection. Further, Since oxalic acid or oxalate in one of its therapeutic

poisoning is to increase Oxalic acid or oxalate blockers, Such as pyridoxine hydrochloride, citric acid, calcium, magnesium, and alcohol Such as ethanol to eliminate or carry the Oxalic acid through the renal System. Oxalate nephrosis is probably the most common cause of toxic death in dogs. Typically, the Source of Oxalate poison ing is ethylene glycol (antifreeze). The ethylene glycol is metabolized to oxalate and Oxalic acid by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. Ethylene glycol by itself is not toxic, but when the enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase, works on it to produce a toxic material (oxalate), then it becomes toxic. Antifreeze poisoning is treated with alcohol (ethanol) to keep the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme busy So that the antifreeze can be eliminated, unaltered, and in a non-toxic

State. A major contributor to death is also metabolic acidosis caused by Oxalic acid accumulation. It is almost as important to control the acid-based Status as it is worrying about the

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a person who believes they have been Subjected to radiation, Strong electromagnetic waves or fields, microwaves, radar, Strong TV or radio waves, or work in a dangerous environment where they may be Subjected to X-rays or other elements which can decompose or reduce the Oxalic acid or oxalate in the body, can test their blood, plasma or urine Oxalic acid or oxalate level and if they find it is below normal, treat themselves with food, beverages, Supplements, pills, capsules, and the like containing oxalic acid or oxalate to bring their level back up to a normal healthy level. Further, Such a person can pre-treat them Selves prior to exposure with Oxalic acid or oxalate to reduce the chance that their levels will drop below normal levels. This should prevent or reduce the increased risk to devel oping cancers, tumors, viral or bacterial and viral diseases, and the like caused by having below normal oxalic acid or oxalate levels in the body.

methoxyflurane anesthesia may also induce the condition. Aspergillus sp. fungi also produces high levels of oxalate and these fungi are almost ubiquitous and grow on many feed stuffs. There are a variety of plants other than oak, for example halogenten, greasewood, Sorrel, dock, Setaria grass, Sugar beets, and Several others that contain oxalic acid. Oxalate nephrosis produces a very specific lesion in the kidney when viewed under the microScope. You can actually See the oxalate crystals. A pathologist who is unaware of primary hyperoxaluria would obviously draw the conclusion that the kidney lesions were the result of Oxalate nephrosis. Typically, cancer, tumors, growths, and the like are treated by invasive unnatural techniques, Such as Surgery, biopsy,

The poodle was examined by the Veterinarian, received an injection of a antibiotic, and oral capsules were to be given. The inventor began an immediate Soaking of the paw in a composition or solution of 150 mg of oxalic acid in 300 ml of distilled water twice a day. After just two Soakings the infection had improved dramatically, and the poodle used the leg without any signs of a limp. On another occasion while Visiting the veterinary clinic, the inventor noticed the receptionist had Symptoms of a cold, and upon questioning the receptionist learned she was treating a cold which was into the Start of the Second week. When the inventor Suggested the receptionist use the Solu tion formulated for dental hygiene as a remedy for the cold,

and the Sore healed quickly. During a veterinarian dental examination of the inventor's pet dogs, one dog had a moderate build up of tarter and plaque on the teeth and gingivitis in the upper gums, both Sides of the mouth. At the completion of the exam, rather than treat the gingivitis with an injection of antibacterial medication followed by oral medication, it was agreed the inventor would commence daily brushing of the dog's teeth. The formula used for the brushing was a mix of 150 mg. of oxalic acid in 300 ml of distilled water. The inventor began a daily brushing of the dog's teeth paying particular atten tion to the upper gums. The brushing was done first thing in the morning before the dog had anything to eat or drink. After the fourth day of brushing, the inventor/owner of the dog, noticed the redness of the gingivitis was disappearing and after one week returned the dog to the veterinarian for a follow-up exam. The exam revealed no more evidence of gingivitis and no tarter but moderate plaque remained. The Veterinarian recommended cleaning one Side of the dogs upper teeth and continuing with the daily brushing routine. On another occasion, the inventor's pet poodle had torn a

Cur rent data indicates that among perSons age 25–44 years old, HIV infection is now the leading cause of death in men and is the third leading cause of death in women in the U.S. In 1995, approximately 40,000 Americans contracted HIV. Worldwide, one million people died from AIDS last year and reported cases increased by 19 percent. It has been about 15 years since the HIV/AIDS virus was first identified. Tragically the AIDS epidemic has claimed 4.5 million lives, worldwide. Today, Significant Strides are being made in understanding the virus and ways to battle the disease. There are 42 approved medicines and over 120 drugs currently being developed by pharmaceutical compa nies to fight HIV/AIDS. One promising advance in newly developed pharmaceu ticals for fighting HIV/AIDS is a new class of medicines called protease inhibitors. Studies show that when a protease

In accordance with the present invention, oxalic acid or oxalate compositions are used alone or combined with one or more of the established HIV/AIDS medicines to work

together to inhibit, impede, fight, or the like, the HIV virus at one or more Stages of its progression or development. Hence, a new combination or “cocktail therapy includes protease inhibitors, established HIV/AIDS medicines, and Oxalic acid or oxalate compositions. Also in accordance with the present invention, oxalic acid or oxalate compositions alone or together with established HIV/AIDS medicines can be used to treat the symptoms of HIV/AIDS infection including Swollen lymph glands, fever or night Sweats, weight loss, fatigue, diarrhea, Skin problems, Sores in the mouth, cough, ShortneSS of breath, vaginal yeast infections, and the like. Further, Oxalic acid or oxalate compositions can be used to treat the Serious ill nesses that occur with AIDS including pneumonia, pneu

In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, oxalic acid or oxalate compositions and treat ments are used in canine care by dissolving a therapeutic quantity of Oxalic acid in distilled water to form an Oxalic acid treatment Solution for treating gingivitis, tartar build-up on the teeth, general health of teeth and gums, and as a topical antiseptic or antibiotic. For example, a half dachs hund and half beagle canine was examined and found to have a build up of tartar on the teeth and gingivitis active with a slight pocket with one tooth with pus. The canine's teeth and gums were brushed regularly with the Oxalic acid Solution for dental hygiene and was returned to the Veteri narian for examination.

In accordance with another example, a poodle having a torn toenail which has become infected received an injection of antibiotic and capsules of AMP-250 to be given three times daily. Also, the poodle's injured paw was Soaked three times daily in an oxalic acid/distilled water Solution the Same Strength as the dental hygiene Solution. In accordance with still yet another embodiment of the present invention, it is believed that Oxalic acid or oxalate compositions can be used to prevent Strokes in humans and other animals. An Oct. 29, 1996 ABC Evening News Report indicated that a group of Seniors over age 60 had a very low rate of Strokes compared to the national average. This group of Some 80 people were reported to have been on a special diet high in fruit and vegetables which were high in potas sium. The report theorized that the potassium was respon sible for a lower level of blood pressure in the diet group and thus a lower incidence of Strokes. In accordance with the

present invention, it is respectfully believed that the lower incidents of Strokes was due to oxalic acid in the Special diet high in fruit and vegetables rather than the potassium. Potassium oxalate and potassium oxalate monohydrate con tain large amounts of Oxalic acid which in accordance with the present invention the Oxalic acid Serves as the “hall monitor of the blood system keeping the blood en clean of plaque and abnormal cells. Hence, it is believed that the high level of Oxalic acid in the potassium rich diet high in fruit and vegetables which led to the very low rate of strokes compared to the national average. In accordance with the present invention, oxalic acid or oxalate compositions and methods are used to treat, prevent, impede, delay, control, or the like Strokes in humans and other warm-blooded animals by administering a therapeutic quantity of Oxalic acid or oxalate on a periodic basis, for example, daily.

The second weekend of November, 1997, a woman prop erly in her early 60's agreed that she would go on the Oxalic acid diet of the present invention as near to 100% as possible. She had cancer of the pancreas and the liver. In both of these cancers, her prognosis was very poor. This woman had been through the conventional treatments and nothing more held any hope for her. At the time she started on the diet, she was showing a very slight yellowing of the skin. On Jan. 26, 1998, there was a call from a gentleman to report that she is doing just great. Her color has returned to normal, a very recent test showed the liver at 60% of normal and the tumors are in regression and her blood is clean. She told the gentleman who called to say she had passed the 600 pound mark of carrots. One more Success for the present

An adult male who has Hepatitis C has recently started on a high oxalic acid diet and trying hard to avoid the blockers. He has been infected for Some time and knows the Symp toms preceding the times when he has periods of effects from the virus. With careful monitoring, we will be able to tell if the oxalic acid is having the effect of killing the virus by either the period between attacks are longer or the effects themselves are leSS Severe, or both.

The Study is very Significant because Oxalic acid inhibits calcium absorption by the body. High calcium absorption is necessary for development and maintenance of Strong bones, and would not be possible if the body was high in Oxalic acid. However, high oxalic acid in the body System would not only inhibit calcium absorption but also would prevent the development of cancer. Too high levels of oxalic acid could mean weak bones and Osteoporosis. First, my dog Missy, half dachshund and halfbeagle, had a dental exam and found to have a build up of tartar on the teeth and gingivitis active with a slight pocket by one tooth with pus. Her teeth and gums will be brushed daily with the Solution used for human dental hygiene and returned to the Veterinarian for examination weekly. Second, my poodle, Turk, had a torn toenail which had become infected. He received an injection of an antibiotic, and capsules of Amp-250 to be given 3 times daily. Also, his injured paw will be Soaked 3 times daily in an Oxalic acid Solution the same Strength as the dental hygiene Solution. During the week following May 16, 1996, an adult female who is assisting me in documenting the history of my discovery, has been following a diet protocol as follows to assist in the absorption of calcium to prevent Osteoporosis. She has also had operations to remove breast tumors which also required removal of the thyroid gland. The protocol is designed to add calcium Supplements to a normal daily diet

We spent 4 hours reviewing the data, and in questions and answers. Jon's bone cancer was verified by MRI and he had just previously had the first chemo treatment from his oncologist. And, in his words, “very painful and debilitating, and he did not want to take any more if it could be avoided. He was provided with the diet and lists of food

Our research indicates the following as a treatment for vascular disorders, diseases, and other conditions:

Carrots, carrot juice, Spinach, parsley, chives, beets and beet leaves, garlic, collards and radishes are high among vegetables containing Oxalic Acid and should be eaten or drank in order to build a high concentration of acid in the body fluids. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, and, especially walnuts which are high in oleic and linoleic fatty acids and increase oxalic acid absorption may be eaten.

Red meats, chicken and turkey breasts, (generally white meat) are considered high in Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), and should be avoided during the treatment. Alcohol and prod

55

ucts containing citric acid (Soda pop, other Soft drinks, and thirst quenchers are generally high in citric acid), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) are considered blockers of oxalic

acid and should be avoided since they retard the build up of Oxalic acid in the System. It is absolutely necessary to read the ingredients on all food and drinkS consumed while on the treatment Citric and ascorbic acids are widely used as a preservative in many products, including frozen and bakery goods. All dairy products should also be avoided while following

the treatment. Calcium inhibits oxalic acid and when com

bined can form calcium oxalate Stones (kidney).

required for the individual Subject. In the Second phase of the treatment, the Subject is given about 34 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate for an additional 15 to 20 days until the vascular disorder, disease or other condition shows improve ment by change in blood pressure and/or laboratory tests. In the third phase the Subject is given about 72 gram of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day to continue correction of the vascular

disorder, disease, or other condition, or until the disease is

eliminated. In the fourth phase or maintenance phase, the Subject is given about 50 mg of Oxalic acid or oxalate per day for maintenance of good health. Again, these dosages are provided for an average 70-kilogram adult and the individu al’s Oxalic acid or oxalate levels need to be checked peri odically and the dosages adjusted as necessary.
