PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS AND DIETARY INFORMATION

DAILY REGIMEN INSTRUCTIONS

Patients currently undergoing the therapy should adjust their lifestyles to

avoid the following:

a.. psychological and physical stress

b.. extreme changes in temperatures

c.. intake of any substances (alcohol, nicotine, narcotics, etc.)

d.. irregular eating and sleeping habits

The key is to maintain as balanced a lifestyle as possible under the

circumstances. Constant psychological stress can have an extremely negative

effect on the patient's immune system, sleeping regimen, and overall well-being.

Such stress can have many forms starting from the fear of the disease or the

lack of family support to various forms of less obvious stress drivers such as

workaholism and the inability to relax.

Human body and the mind work closely together on the biochemical level which has

been proven in many scientific experiments. The key for cancer patients or

patients suffering from autoimmune conditions, is to try to avoid anything that

would sway the body chemistry out of balance. The treatment medication together

with the balanced lifestyle and the dietary regimen have been designed to

restore homeostasis in the body. (Note: Homeostasis is the state of equilibrium

in the body with respect to various functions and to the chemical compositions

of the fluids and tissues.)

Balanced lifestyle and diet positively contribute to the balance that needs to

be restored and/or maintained in the human body. Without such balance, the

body's natural defense mechanisms (such as the immune system) cannot function

properly. Since any extremes may disrupt the balance, the following steps toward

a balanced lifestyle are highly recommended:

a.. Relaxation techniques and meditation at least once a day will help release

psychological stress;

b.. Setting up a hierarchy of what is most important will help to relieve

anxiety (patient's most important values should be placed on his/her own

well-being);

c.. Creating a relatively stable daily regimen will teach the body to function

more effectively (regular sleeping habits, regular meals throughout the day,

time to work and time to relax);

d.. Vigorous physical exercise should be avoided as it leads to an increase in

the usage of ATP energy in body cells. This ATP process is crucial in the

recovery period and should not be disturbed. Instead of physical exercise,

taking up yoga and other stretching and relaxation exercise with slow body

movements is recommended. Walking is also recommended as it helps to oxygenate

the body. Walking should be of medium speed, relaxed, but not to the point of

being tired;

e.. The temperature outside the body can also influence the homeostatic

process. Avoiding very hot or cold showers and/or baths is essential. Likewise,

staying in very cold or warm rooms or outdoors may have a negative effect.

Instead, shower/bath water temperature should be as close to the body

temperature as possible. Clothing should be chosen to keep the body as

comfortable as possible;

f.. Alcohol, tobacco smoke, narcotics or even abuse of various medication have

very negative effects on the body chemistry and homeostasis. Abuse of these

substances will directly affect the therapy and the process of the disease.

DIETARY REGIMEN

The medication is highly acidic, yet it tends to alkalize the patient's body.

The purpose of the diet which excludes spicy and sour foods is to keep the cell

metabolism as even as possible to prevent any sudden metabolic changes within

the cells of the body. It is also designed to help alkalize the body regardless

of the patient's metabolic type. People generally fall into four different

metabolic types. Based on this typing, some food groups will alkalize certain

metabolic types, while further acidifying others. The AM-2 diet is designed to

accomodate all four metabolic types of patients.

During the entire course of the treatment and one month following the treatment,

the patient should strictly follow the dietary regimen. During that period, no

vitamin C and B3 supplements should be taken. After staying on the diet for the

two months (one month during and one month following treatment) the patient may

start GRADUALLY adding other food products previously prohibited in the diet.

This process must be done slowly and gradually.

If additional follow-up injections (boosters) are necessary, the patient must go

back on the strict dietary regimen.

It is extremely important to drink plenty of liquids, especially water, every

day to allow the body to better hydrate itself and flush out toxins. It is

necessary to drink at least ½ a gallon of water per day.

It is also very important to consume foods free of additives, preservatives, and

artificial color and sweeteners. Patients with a serious disease such as cancer

should purchase their food items in natural food stores (this includes not only

fruits and vegetables, but meats that are free of hormones and antibiotics,

dairy products, cereals, etc.). Even though the prices are higher, the food

quality is well worth the extra price.

It is important to note that hot spices should be eliminated from the diet for a

period of at least 6 months. The rule of thumb is - if the food tastes sour or

spicy, it should not be consumed since it will interfere with the rate of cell

metabolism.

Intake of salt must be limited. The only salt that should be used in very

limited amounts is iodized SEA SALT.

The following diet is a restricted diet in some respects. It is essential that

patients taking the AM-2 medication avoid the foods that are on the prohibited

list. It is also very important that patients eat a wide variety of minerals and

other nutrients that are building blocks the body needs to heal itself.

DIETARY REGIMEN FOLLOWING THE TREATMENT WITH AM-2

GENERAL RECOMMENDATION

TRY TO MAKE AS MUCH EFFORT TO PURCHASE ALL OR MOST OF YOUR FOODSTUFF IN HEALTH

FOOD STORES TO MINIMIZE YOUR EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES, HORMONES, ANTIBIOTICS, AND

CHEMICAL ADDITIVES. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY IN YOUR CONSUMPTION OF

FRESH PRODUCE SINCE FRESH PRODUCE SHOULD BECOME THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PART OF

YOUR DIET. DO NOT CONSUME ANY FOOD PRODUCTS CONTAINING ARTIFICIAL COLORS,

SWEETENERS OR FLAVORS. STAY AWAY FROM INDUSTRIAL TYPE FOODS INCLUDING CHEMICALLY

ALTERED FATS AND MARGARINE. USE ONLY PURE OLIVE AND CANOLA OIL FOR YOUR COOKING

NEEDS. IF YOU USE BUTTER, USE ONLY NATURAL ORGANIC BUTTER.

JUICING VEGETABLES AND FRUITS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SINCE THE BODY IS BETTER

ABLE TO DIGEST SUCH NUTRIENTS. DURING AND AFTER THE AM-2 TREATMENT, THE

VEGETABLES AND FRUITS THAT CAN BE JUICED ARE: CARROTS, CELERY, BEETS,

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES, LEAFY VEGETABLES, MELONS, PEARS, RIPE PEACHES, APRICOTS,

AND NECTARINES. ADDING OTHER NUTRIENTS SUCH AS BARLEY GREEN TO THE JUICE IS ALSO

RECOMMENDED. ALWAYS ADD A LITTLE BIT OF OIL (FLAX SEED OIL OR OLIVE OIL) TO YOUR

JUICE SINCE SOME VITAMINS ARE ONLY SOLUBLE IN FATS.

1. FIRST MONTH AFTER THE TREATMENT

Observe the strict dietary instructions that you were accustomed to during the

AM-2 treatment.

2. SECOND MONTH AFTER THE TREATMENT

Start gradually adding more fresh produce into your diet. You can also start

using slightly more sea salt in your cooking. You should be on a high-fiber,

diet for the rest of your life. At this point, make sure your diet includes the

following foods: whole grain cereals, brown rice, oats, barley, beans, almonds,

fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables (except citrus fruits).

3. THIRD MONTH FOLLOWING THE TREATMENT

At this point you can eat all fresh produce, juices and foods. You must stay

away from foods that are spicy for several years (until your condition is

completely reversed). Also, stay away from vinegar except in very small amounts.

As a general rule, do not eat too much red meat, not only because red meat

contains a lot of fat, but mainly because it is a significant source of iron,

and malignant cells feed on iron (one serving per week should be sufficient).

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: Intake of dietary supplements should be designed on an

individual basis after a proper determination of the patient's needs. Try to

introduce a colon cleansing dietary program into your routine. Drink plenty of

water each day (at least eight (8) ounce glasses of water each day), eat

high-fiber foods (mainly raw fruits and vegetables), and exercise. You may want

to purchase a book called " Nutritional Healing " by F. Balch, M.D. and

Phyllis A. Balch, C.N.C. This book is an excellent guide to help you heal many

conditions with the help of nutrition and dietary supplements. This book also

includes an excellent nutritional guide for colon cleansing.

Oops---on second thought, I have some real problems with

these " prohibited " foods, and probably some questions about other

parts of the regimen, including who put the regimen together and how

they put it together. Again, I would suggest that when members post

something that they do their best to give other members reference

points/links/other information to allow them to have some idea of

where the member is coming from with regard to the post and the

information it contains. There is enough confusion on the net without

us further confusing each other on this board. No offense meant---

just trying to get across how it strikes me when I see a post such as

this with no explanation whatever about what it is or where it came

from.

Hi, .

If that message titled " AM2 " was a reply to your initial message,

(which I cannot find, by the way, at least not anything with AM2 in

it), it would have been an excellent idea to have linked the message to

your original message so that one could see your original message below

it.

There is an easy etiquette we can try to follow here so as to make it

as easy as possible for us to follow what and why messages are being

posted.

Thank you for your clarification about AM2. What is the rationale,

please, behind prohibiting berries raw garlic and other foods generally

considered to be very GOOD for people dx'd with cancer?

It's good to be skeptical about any treatment. I am

the same way. We certainly don't want to cause harm

or waste money on useless therapies.

In regards to the list of prohibited foods. It is my

understanding that those foods are to be avoided

during the first two months of treatment. After that

they can be gradually reintroduced back into the diet.

I was told that the purpose of the diet is to keep

the cell metabolism as even as possible to prevent

sudden metabolic changes within the cells while

undergoing the therapy.

Again, I'd like to add a disclaimer that I am not

promoting or recommending this therapy. It is not a

cure. I have not had this therapy. It is only

something I explored and was considering after my

diagnosis.

dear lisa

thanks for your kind response below.

i was shocked to find that i consume, on a daily basis, a few of the same

ingredients, in one form or the other, as part of my cancer preventive program,

eg, ascorbic acid? i thought vitamin c was proscribed for some people since it

alledgely initiates cance in certian instances; ribose is a standard supplement

used in the world of bodybuilding, i have some in my cabinet; and i take about

two grams of beta alanine with my carnosine daily, as it enhances cellular

uptake, even though it is not dl-alanine. are you grounded enough in chemistry

to know if these substances mentioned above are largely the same as those in the

am2 formula? i sure am not. Also, did you have to go to a clinic somewhere

distant from home, to receive injections, or could you do it yourself? i just

love the fact these are largely naturopathec based chemicals. can you rate the

effectiveness of am2 to other protocals? how long, and in what manner, did it

work for you? would you highly recommned it over other treatments, and if so,

why? again, please answer only if convenient. i went through the website,

studied it throughly, and appreciate your insightful comment about many

companies being loath to make health claims. i have a web acquaintance in a

government halfway house now, after doing a year of hard time, for having made

health claims on his website. you can imagine how complicated such things are

for me, with my son being a Drug Enforcement Agency SAIC, as in, the enforcers.

smile.

i am so glad you are alive.

and healthy

you serve as an inspiration, with your positive attitude, a key component in

cellular health, imho.

take care

Hi Andy,

My understanding is that it is a immunomodulator. It

enhances the body's own immune response and enables

the repair of a damaged immune system. It increases

NK cells, macrophage cells and it will increase IL-2.

Essentially it contains the following five

ingredients. Ascorbic Acid, 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose,

D-Ribose, Nicotinic Acid and DL-Alanine. It has to be

prepared by a compounding pharmacy. It is

administered by a slow intravenous injection. The

initial dose is 20 treatments over a four week period.

The treatment is given 5 days per week with weekends

off.

Take care,
