David Reavely Dip Nutritional Med., Bed (Hon)
As a nutritional practitioner, I am always receptive towards learning about new natural approaches to health that are both effective whilst at the same time have no negative effects upon the body. Imagine my excitement, therefore, when I was made aware of a natural compound that is seemingly effective against a broad spectrum of infections, including viral, fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections. The name of this substance is a four atom molecule known as Oxythiocyanate.
It is naturally present in tears, saliva and mucus, acting as the first line of defence against infections. Its efficacy is underlined by the fact that despite ideal breeding conditions for pathogens in the eye (warm, wet, light and nutrient dense), eye infections are uncommon. Overall, it prevents 95% of infections from entering our bodies. What is interesting is that our awareness of this molecule and its role in the body is not new, since it has been known and well documented for the last fifty years. Even more surprising is the fact that there are 48,000 medical papers that relate to its efficacy and safety. Of course, being cognisant of its mode and action within the body is one thing; however, meeting the challenge of developing a method which could mimic the action of the molecule at a relatively high dose on a systemic level, is entirely another .
In terms of its make-
The solution is active within the body for up to 48 hours, and the molecules are
destroyed every time they attack a pathogenic organism. When this happens, the molecule
reverts back to Thiocyanate (SCN), which is naturally present in saliva at 3-
The end result is a remedy -
In vitro this molecule seems to be effective against a vast spectrum of Pathogens at solutions far less than 1 part per million and because of its seeming ability to tackle any type of infection it may be considered for removing multiple infections involving any combination of Viral, Bacterial, Fungal and Parasitic infections.
Of course, being cognisant of its mode and action within the body is one thing; however, meeting the challenge of developing a method which could mimic the action of the molecule at a relatively high dose on a systemic level, is entirely another .
It can also be applied topically for skin infections. When taken orally, it has the advantage of being effective in the digestive system, urinary tract and the blood stream.
No side effects—the product -
Could the Molecule be Effective in Some Cases of Chronic Disease Such as Multiple Sclerosis?
A common view held by nutritional therapists and other practitioners of natural medicine, is that many illnesses, including chronic conditions such as MS, ME, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, are caused by a combination of the following:
TOXICITY – INFECTION – POOR NUTRITION (As a Result of Digestive infections)
Would it be fair to postulate, therefore, that in cases of chronic disease where
infection is a possible factor in its causation, does the molecule have a part to
play? Recent experience involving people suffering from ME and MS who have taken
the remedy and have reported improvements in energy levels and overall well-
The rationale behind this approach would be based upon the premise that it is not going to harm the patient, and may possibly address any underlying infection. If the infection is a significant causative factor in the disease, once removed, the body has a much greater chance of recovery. Recent experience in treating ME patients with the molecule would seem to bear testimony to this approach, as evidenced by several sufferers making a good recovery.
NB -
It is not unusual, for example, that someone with multiple infections experiences a high degree of toxicity after taking the remedy. This appears to be due to the result of toxins being released when pathogens are destroyed. If the individual is already toxic prior to taking the remedy, their overall toxic load may be very high.
In such cases, it is wise to seek the services and knowledge of a trained nutritional practitioner or other suitably qualified health professional. In this way, detoxification of the individual can be facilitated under expert guidance.
In terms of MS, the aetiology of the disease is unknown; we know that there is demyelinisation, that is, the nerve fibres lose their myelin sheath resulting in MS symptoms.
Certain factors seem to be implicated, including hereditary factors, dietary factors and deficiency of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega 3. However, there are a number of studies from around the world that support the theory that infections may be a significant factor in cases of MS.
One such study at the UCLA School of Medicine* involved testing for the presence
of Herpes Viruses in post-
Of course, this is not to say that infection is likely to be implicated in all cases
of MS; it is probable that this is a multi-
Moreover, let us not forget that MS sufferers are more prone to the likes of urinary tract infections, and the molecule could play an invaluable role in minimising the occurrence of such distressing episodes.
