Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 What follows is all of Brooks Bradley's original posts on The Silverlist about this...This has already been cross posted in many places and apparently he wants this info to be spread far and wide. If you are not familiar with this man, he works with a private research foundation that has no internet presence that you will find by search engine. They research various simple cheap and effective alternative medical protocols then he releases the synopsis of their results to the Silverlist from time to time, then he disappears again. He is getting on in years and simply does not spend as much time on any forum as much as he used to. Those of us who have watched him for years know that he does not deal in hyperbole and is a master of understatement and courtesy, so the almost breathless nature of the first post really caused a stir. DaddyBob ----------------- We are Euphoric...almost...over our enthusiasm regarding a substance which became available about 24 months ago---and since subjected to a number of different evaluations. While the actual materials are not (essentially) modified in chemical or biological essence.....the FORM of delivery is GREATLY improved and we have enjoyed ASTONISHING results among all of our principal investigators evaluating these materials. These research evaluations revolved around substances yielded by a process called Liposomal Encapsulated Technology (LET). All of our evaluations involved either Liposomal Encapsulated GSH or Liposomal Encapsulated Vitamin C. A majority of our experimental cases involved LET-based Vitamin C. About six months ago, inspired by the very recent (last 15 months) documented research of Dr. Thomas Levy, M.D., and associates, we endeavored to prosecute some evaluations of our own.......which centered on vitamin C encapsulated by phospholipid liposomes. The actual material we utilized was obtained from representatives of a firm holding some exclusive procedural patents (Livon), but there are, probably, others now available.....especially with the proclivities of firms for circumventing existing patents. The material is called " Smart " Lyco-Spheric Nano-Spheres. The principal characteristic which enables the substance to yield such outstanding results, springs from its ability to present both in the blood stream and the inter-cellular environments----simultaneously. I could hardly believe Dr. Levy's original claims as to results they achieved. To wit: That the ORAL ingestion of this " Vitamin C on Steroids " as the hype had pronounced it-----turned out (at least for us), to be ...EXACTLY THAT. E.G. 5 GRAMS of the LET-type vitamin C (taken orally) did, indeed, yield results comparable to 50 GRAMS OF IV ADMINISTERED vitamin C. We were, simply, ASTOUNDED...by this result. I will not attempt to elaborate on our specific experiments, but will state that our associates achieved some UNBELIEVABLE results in very short time windows----and some involving stage IV carcinoma (which had proven unresponsive to ALL EXISTING ALLEOPATHIC PROTOCOLS). The implications are simply STAGGERING....for us. The COST PROFILE simply COLLAPSES when considering such a simple---non-toxic----address to an amazing number of terminal-type insults. e.g. snakebite, botulinum, viral insults from across the entire spectrum, etc). I must go now, but I encourage list members to conduct a web search on this manufacturing technology and the products available.....that actually exhibit the nano-encapsulation technology. Do understand that some condition/circumstance may present itself, that could modify or, maybe, even negate our profound results...but I most SERIOUSLY DOUBT such will be the case. At present, we can hardly believe our results, but three other research groups (with whom we exchange information periodically.....have effected results identical to ours. ------------------ In our recent researches evaluating this technology and, consequently, in searching for possible " process " improvements/modifications which might facilitate the " lay person " an opportunity for a DIY methodology achievable in a home environment---we did achieve some notable progress. First, a brief summary of our exploratory activity. Our literature searches revealed several companies actively exhibiting valid capability in this area (LET). Typical, and demonstrably capable, is a company named MICROTEK. Microteklabs.com Helpful information is available here. One fact became obvious, early on, to wit: The truly striking feature of LET was a NATURALLY-occurring characteristic...... and not a man-made process, that was driving this encapsulation process. That is, this process is a function of an automatic, " natural tendency " of certain substances (e.g. phospholipids in this case) to form tiny vacoules or bubbles---called liposomes----when in a aqueous solution under certain conditions. " The keystone activity is that these liposomes automatically fill themselves with whatever aqueous solution they were in----before they were formed. " This type of bubble, called a membrane, forms a protective barrier around virtually every cell in the human body. " Livon Labs has perfected a process which employs a high-pressure (1700 p.s.i.) discharge system which directs a liquid stream against a forming plate. The high impact forces the phospholipids (soy lecithin in this case) to form liposomes----so small they require an electrom microscope for viewing. This technology does not create the LET activity....it just enhances it. In our personal researches we have determined the key to exploiting the LET phenomenon appeared to be Livon's application of intense force in their mixing methodology. Enter the " enlightening " moment. Searching for a method of achieving liposomal encapsulation, it occurred to us to explore ultrasonic stimulation as an option. It worked...maybe not quite as well as Livon's " high tech " brute force approach...but about 70% as well. Plenty efficient for our purposes. Our vitamin " C " liposomal encapsulation protocol is as follows: Using a small (2 cup) Ultrasonic cleaner, (Item #03305, obtainable from Harbor Freight @ about $30.00), we performed the following: 1. Dissolved 3 level tablespoons of soy lecithin in 1 cup of water (preferably distilled). 2. Dissolved 1 level tablespoon of ascorbic acid powder (Vit. " C " ) in 1/2 cup of water. 3. Poured both solutions together in the ultrasonic cleaner bowl and turned the unit on. Using a plastic straw (leaving the top of the cleaner opened), gently, slowly, stirred the contents. Note: The cleaner will, automatically, self-stop about every 2 minutes. Just push ON button to continue. Repeat for a total of 3 series (6 minutes). By that time the entire solution should be blended into a cloudy, homogeneous, milk-like mixture. The LET solution is now formed. 4. This protocol furnishes about 12 grams (12000mg.) of vitamin C product. At 70% encapsulation efficiency, 8400 mg would be of the LET type. This solution will keep, acceptably, at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. Refrigerated, it will keep much longer. We use it so fast around our place...there isn't enough left to be concerned over storage. The " homogenizing effect " is so powerful that after 3 days at room temperature, no precipitation or solution separation appears evident. This type of sequestered vitamin " C " has demonstrated to be, at least 5 times more effective (per volumetric measure) than any other form of orally-ingested vitamin " c " ....that we have tested. Additionally, it appears to be even more rapid in tissue-bed availability----than IV applications. An astounding revelation....to us. We estimate the DIY researcher can produce the active LET portion of this solution for 15 cents per gram....as against about $1.00 per gram from commerci! al sources. It is my hope that this, limited, explanation of our activities in this area, is of some value to our do-it-yourself health-maintenance researchers. In any event, this protocol has demonstrated to be n on-toxic and most helpful to OUR RESEARCHES. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. p.s. A larger, more powerful, ultrasonic cleaner is now available at Harbor Freight. Item number 91593. 2+ liters, for about $60.00. Both units have performed quite well for us. Almost as well as our $500.00 lead zirconate titanate, research grade, unit. ------------------------ My apologies; I neglected to outline the attendant, probable, variations in the protocol. What I SHOULD have said in my original post is " The visible, obviously homogenized, portion of the solution " , whenever I made the comment about the stability of the completed, resultant, material. I believe you will gain a little better knowledge of the results you achieved, after reading my most recent comment on an inquiry by Sheila. Bottom line----your result was perfectly normal. Interestingly, the meniscus may present at the top...or the bottom.....or not at all. Usually if the initial material combination has not run long enough to incorporate a majority of the lecithin (or there is simply too much lecithin for the available ascorbic acid fraction.....the meniscus will form on the top of the sample....within a few minutes after stopping the US agitation. If your procedure has run acceptably well and----long enough to homogenize well, any meniscus formation will, generally, present on the BOTTOM after overnight storage--- with or without refrigeration. In any event, you are doing fine. If you do not want to consume the isolated lecithin fraction you are observing, just decant the homogenized liposome solution and dispose of the isolated lecithin fraction. I hope this information helps your dilema. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. p.s. One just needs to continue to experiment " around-the-edges " of this protocol, in order to achieve optimum results. Do not be reluctant to do such...this IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE....just common sense. ------------------------ Your question has been asked by others....(private inquires addressed directly to me). In the interest of saving me time and energy, I offer the following explanation. First, soy lecithin is a " slow " incorporator, when introduced into aqueous mediums....sometimes. Especially, when there is a high lecithin granule population ratio----relative to the total water volume. The general reaction is that a major percentage of the lecithin blends readily with the the water medium, but there will remain a definitive lecithin component which floats on the surface and exhibits a somewhat " gelatinous " appearance (this is quite natural, based upon the native characteristics of the substances involved). Do not fret over encountering such circumstances......they will not compromise the basic effectiveness of your protocol. However, it is of some import to understand that the speed, and completeness, of the incorporation of the granular lecithin---into the aqueous medium, is affected by a number of conditions such as the total amount of lecithin versus the total volume of water; the temperature of the water-based solution and the strength of any other substance being incorporated into the parent solution----from very weak, to saturated (none of which are seriously comprom! ising). Under the best of conditions, even after ultrasonic mixing for 8 to 9 minutes....there is, often, a thin meniscus (a distinct separation between two or more liquids in the same container). [Example: a thin layer of oil lying on top of water.] In the liposome generation methodology we are discussing, the visible, gelatinous, portion of the meniscus is principally made up of unincorporated lecithin. Is IS NOT a problem....in fact the lecithin component has useful, cardiovascular, health-support effects----beyond those being discussed here. Either (or both) of two measures may be executed to reduce the volume of unincorporated lecithin you may be encountering. First, increasing the volume of the total water fraction, or secondly, raising the temperature of the total parent solution and extending the time of US reaction exposure. One reason for the condition you are encountering is that the closer one gets to achieving a saturated solution of lecithin....the more resistant the process becomes to accepting more granular lecithin into that solution-----until the point is reached where no further material will incorporate---hence, THE SATURATION POINT IS EXPERIENCED. In my brief, original post, I did not discuss the nuances of speed, degree or completeness of dissolution of the lecithin----or for that matter--- the ascorbic acid fraction. Neither did I outline a number of other considerations; such as the effects of varying the volume of water versus the ratios of the solution components....or the total water volume versus the protocol components....primarily, because such elaborations would not serve usefulness/effectivity for the nontechnical DIY person. I simply outlined a SAFE, mid-spectrum, protocol allowing the average lay-person to achieve a measure of acceptable results for home experimental research. My personal bias is that it is better to have a small, uncombined, lecithin fraction presenting as a meniscus.....than to strive toward what I perceive to be a cosmetic achievement----of small consequence.....by means of diluting the total solution. In any event the excess lecithin is a positive addition.....it is just not active in the liposome process-----until some parameter changes that avails it the opportunity participate in the encapsulation process. My final comment on this subject: If it is of paramount importance to one, regardless of reason.... by just increasing the water volume and reactivating the US Cleaner for several minutes....the remaining lecithin will (in almost all cases) go into the emulsified solution. However, bear in mind, you have diluted the entire solution by an equivalent strength-----with NO increase in total vitamin C component. Please understand, these comments are not meant to browbeat " anyone " ....in any way....but, rather, to aid the less technically-informed on the list. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley. ------------------ Although not scientifically rigorous, I offer a simple test which will yield the DIY researcher some element of confidence that they do, in fact, have a useful measure of liposomal encapsulate. First, pour about 4 ounces of your finished Vitamin C encapsulate into a cylindrical, 12 ounce water glass. Next, place 1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate into about 1 ounce of distilled water and stir for 3 to 5 seconds. Next, pour the sodium bicarbonate solution into the Vitamin C mixture and stir gently for several seconds. Note: If the foam/bubble line which forms on top is 1/2 inch or less---in height---you have about a 50% encapsulation efficiency. If the foam/bubble line is 3/8 of one inch...or less, you have about a 60% efficiency. If the foam/bubble line is 1/8 inch or less, you have about 75% efficiency. If the foam/bubble line is just a trace.....you should major in chemistry. The percentages given above, represent the amount of the total Vitamin C component incorporated during the encapsulation process.....that was actually encapsulated. The less encapsulation....the greater the foaming. What is, actually, occurring in this test is that the ascorbic acid fraction is being transformed into the sodium ascorbate form of vitamin C. This test does not negatively affect the usefulness of the solution you have tested.....as the isolated Vitamin C component is not adversely affecting the encapsulate (which is being protected by the lecithin bubble-covering.) Actually, the sodium ascorbate form of vitamin C is greater than an order-of-magnitude more soluble for tissue incorporation......than is the ascorbic acid form. In any event this simple test should serve to raise the level of confidence in the DIY researcher.... that they do---in fact---have a useful measure of encapsulated vitamin C.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks Bob, I obviously missed some of Brooks posts so many thanks for putting them all together. Next job is to print them out and file safely away. It's really great that Brooks does all this research and then makes it freely available to us all. We're very fortunate to have him as a member of our group.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I am sure confused, I purchased the ultrasonic device recommended in the great article by Brooks Bradley. It would emulsify only a small amount of the lecithin oil. The ultrasonic seemed a little erratic so I took it back to Harbor Freight and exchanged it for another unit. That seemed better but I still think it is too weak for the job of emulsifying the oil into the water. Has anyone tried this and got good results?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'd sure like to know if there's an alternative to having to buy Liposomal C from the usual vendors. I think they charge waaaaayyyyy too much for what it is. As we're finding out, it's very inexpensive to make, (provided you can actually make it properly). Who's made it successfully? Please help.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have now tried both the Livon Lipo-C and my own homemade version. I *think* the homemade works better for me. I *think* that is because my homemade is made with pure L-Ascorbic Acid, very high quality, from the Vitamin C Foundation, and the Livon product is made with sodium ascorbate. From several people who posted their methods in various forums, and my own experience, here is my method: In a blender, 1 cup of distilled water + 3 level tablespoons of granular soy lecithin, blend well (in a blender) until no granules are visible, OR shake this in a jar or " Blender Bottle " until all is dissolved. Do not let it set. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of C powder in ½ cup DW. Combine both in the UC, turn it on and stir it gently with a straw, not touching the actual interior of the UC. Run it for 3 cycles. Pour it out of the UC into a half gallon pitcher for the next step. Add ¾ teaspoon of baking soda to the 3 ounces of DW and stir or shake a bit. Add this to the mix in the pitcher. It will foam a lot. Let the head go down before decanting into the final container. Refrigerate. DaddyBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi, Looking at the various liposomal products in the market today, I wonder it would be possible to use the same method for other supplements. Presently, I am interested in tumeric/cucumin which is another supplement that is reported to have low bio-availability -- Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I bought a sonicator—one more powerful than those at Harbour Freight---and intend to add curcumin along with black pepper extract (one trademark is Bioperine) which has been shown to greatly enhance its activity. I also intend to add Milk Thistle and quercitin for a “Cancer Cocktail” along with the vitamin C. Compounds such as curcumin that are relatively water insoluble should have much better activity in an oil liposome.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 >Looking at the various liposomal products in the market today, I wonder it would be possible to use the same method for other supplements.< This has been discussed on other fora and one should use caution. Some things are meant to be digested. Some may be strong to the point of poisonous if done this way. And then some just won't work. Be careful.

My granular lecithin is NOW brand. Some things from NOW are superior, some aren't, but this is working for me. I got it for a good price with free shipping from Ebay, ClubNatural I think was the vendor. I'm told Lewis Labs has it also and everything they do is pretty much top notch. Many people object to Soy Lecithin but no one has yet found or reported using an acceptable substitute as far as I know. There has been talk of egg yolk lecithin and Sunflower lecithin but I haven't heard of anyone actually using them yet. Be aware that choline in soy lecithin (don't know about other lecithins) is a neural stimulant and can make you think more clearly or it can over stimulate you into talking gibberish and/or having a frenetic mind. I think it did the latter to me after I drank too much of this mix too late one evening. I awoke at 4 am with my mind racing and I had to calm myself about it. I was able to overcome it intellectually by understanding what had happened, but if I hadn't known this it would have been like a case of the night terrors.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 My ultrasonic cleaner arrived the other day so thought I'd follow Daddybob's recipe to the latter. I'm very pleased to report success at first try - hope I can repeat it :-)Once made I checked for separation and found very little. Added the baking soda mix and got very little foam. As a test over the last 24 hours I've taken a tablespoon full several times and all appears to be well. Anyone got any recommendations as to a suitable dose, should it be taken with or without food and any supplements to avoid when taking?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 >Anyone got any recommendations as to a suitable dose, should it be taken with or without food and any supplements to avoid when taking?< About a tablespoon at a time, or just a small swig. Take on empty stomach and wait 10 minutes before eating or 15 minimum before taking another empty-stomach type of supplement. The intention is for it to go through the stomach undigested. Then if you taking another supplement you simply want it to be clear of your gut to get the best effect of the next supplement. Don't take over 5 tablespoons a day, not because there' anything wrong with the C but because you need to watch for any signs of mental over-stimulation by the choline in the lecithin. For the same reason, don't take too much too late at night. BTW, Brooks just came out and is now suggesting to use the baking soda before encapsulation with the lecithin in order to have sodium ascorbate, which is 3000% more assimilible that plain L-Ascorbic Acid.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks Bob, this really answers my question. The baking soda/ascorbic acid mix sound like a very good idea so I'll be giving it a try later today when I make another brew. Talking of baking soda, I wonder if it could be encapsulated with lecithin? I was just thinking that it would could be a simple way to adjust body pH hopefully without affecting the stomach pH. Think I might give it a try unless someone recommends against it.Cheers, Roger BNZOn 14/09/2009, at 10:11 AM, ransley wrote: >Anyone got any recommendations as to a suitable dose, should it be taken with or without food and any supplements to avoid when taking?< About a tablespoon at a time, or just a small swig.

I was just thinking that it would could be a simple way to adjust body pH hopefully without affecting the stomach pH. Think I might give it a try unless someone recommends against it.< Now THAT might really be a good idea! You could test it after you make it by adding any simple acid to it, such as vinegar, but I would think it would be best to add some L-Ascorbic Acid to it so you would get the benefit of some Vitamin C when you take it. Anyway- if it's encapsulated, there won't be any or at least not very much fizz. You could do a control experiment by using the same ratio of the two substances without encapsulation and making note of the relative amount of fizzing. You would want to do this in two identical containers so you can gauge the " head " correctly. OK. Now I've talked myself into trying it.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Roger, Just to let you know, I have put myself on vitamin C - baking soda to control an abscess in my root canal before I had a chance to get to a dentist. I was doing that to control the acidity of " C " . I ended up with 2g of C with about half of an even teaspoon of baking soda 3 times a day in a glass of water. I had a scheduled visit with a naturopath then who checked my blood PH. My blood was at PH 7.54. I have stopped it immediately to be on the safe side, although I can't say that I felt any ill effects of the over alkalinity. From all I have read here, I should have been half dead then, if not all together with the PH going that high. So. If you go on baking soda and C, get the PH strips and keep checking your urine, so that you do not severely over alkalize. BTW, " C " did manage to control the abscess all right, but it did not take it out. It has also occurred to me that sodium ascorbate, which is pretty much what you mix up above, would be a very sensible combination for a prepared supplement. I have gone to 2g of " C " 3 x a day within three days without any ill effects. Never got higher because of the high blood PH. It appears that the blood alkalinity with soda is also quite dependent on the diet, which is where the urine PH should be monitored, unless you can actually monitor the blood PH.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Good luck with the test Bob. I found time to give it a quick try last evening and could detect no visible separation when I checked it this morning. When I added some ascorbic acid mixed with distilled water I got quite a lot of fizzing which suggested it hadn't encapsulated anywhere near as well as my ascorbic/lecithin trial - interesting. Have also tested some of the mix with vinegar and got virtually no fizz, well, just a whisker around the side of the glass - hmmm. We now have a visitor here for a couple of days so will have to get back to the 'test' later in the week.

You could test it after you make it by adding any simple acid to it, such as vinegar, but I would think it would be best to add some L-Ascorbic Acid to it so you would get the benefit of some Vitamin C when you take it. Anyway- if it's encapsulated, there won't be any or at least not very much fizz. You could do a control experiment by using the same ratio of the two substances without encapsulation and making note of the relative amount of fizzing. You would want to do this in two identical containers so you can gauge the "head" correctly. OK. Now I've talked myself into trying it.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Okay, is there a consensus yet on a specific recipe and a detailed "how to" do this that has delineated instructions? For instance: Get the ultrasonic cleaner put in x amount of soy lecithin -- granules (I think someone said one type of lecithin is better than another) x amount of baking soda x amount of specific kind of vitamin C and any other ingredients into the ultra sonic device and (I think somebody said to blend it first) If somebody has a more specific and detailed recipe with or without baking soda with measurements and best ingredients it would be wonderful to get it posted. And can this be done without the ultrasonic device?

I wouldn't sell a godzilla to anyone not interested enough to look at the plans and figure out it'd also be robbery.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Slavek, I too have used a baking soda and C mix and do use litmus paper to keep a body pH check (saliva and urine). Can't say I ever took the mix three times a day, generally a couple of times. I do find that too much at once could send me off to the bathroom so settled on one rounded tea spoon of ascorbic acid to one rounded half teaspoon of baking soda. At this strength all is well. Now I'm trialing Brooks Liposomal protocol and so far so good.Cheers, Roger BNZOn 15/09/2009, at 6:03 AM, slavek krepelka wrote:So.

I have gone to 2g of "C" 3 x a day within three days without any ill effects. Never got higher because of the high blood PH. It appears that the blood alkalinity with soda is also quite dependent on the diet, which is where the urine PH should be monitored, unless you can actually monitor the blood PH.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi Lisa, My first post here, though I've been lurking for some time. Here's what I have been doing, which seems to work. Ascorbic acid recipe 1. Place 3 tablespoons lecithin granules in a jar with a lid, big enough to take 1.5 cups liquid. 2. Add 1 cup good quality water (distilled is not necessary, just water you are happy to drink, I've tried it with distilled and with filtered tap water and don't notice a difference, though I do suggest you boil well water in case of bacteria). 3. Mix gently (do not shake or blend or you risk forming liposomes containing only water), I leave it to sit for half an hour or so, giving an occasional swirl or inversion until all the granules have dissolved more or less. 4. Place 1 tablespoon ascorbic acid crystals in a measuring cup. 5. Add half a cup of water and mix until dissolved. 6. Add this to the lecithin and mix gently. 7. Place in the ultrasonic cleaner and run for 6 minutes stirring gently from time to time. Sodium ascorbate recipe As above but add 1.5 teaspoons sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to the ascorbic acid in step 4 - it will fizz when you add the water. You can make the sodium ascorbate more concentrated if you want as it is more soluble than ascorbic acid. The liposomal sodium ascorbate works very nicely as a skin treatment I have found. A note on doses: I have been taking a lot of the sodium ascorbate version, half a cup three times a day. I have had no side effects at all, in fact I have been feeling better than usual. I haven't felt overstimulated or had trouble sleeping from excess acetylcholine as might be expected and as DB described. I am used to taking this amount of vitamin C (about 12-15 grams a day) as sodium ascorbate, and wondered what the effects of taking it liposomally might be. I have read of people taking up to 80 grams of lecithin a day with no problems, and this amounts to about 30 grams (3.5 grams to a teaspoonful according to the blurb on the lecithin container).
