Benefits of Modifilan

(some minerals in modifilan: Organic Iodine, Fucoxanthin, Thiamine, Niacin, Riboflavin, Cyanocobalamin, Folic Acid, Vitamin E, Calcium, Chromium, Zinc, Selenium, Maganese, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Alginate, Fucoidan and Laminarin)

By Leonid Gordin, M.D.
http://www.naturodoc.com/library/detox/Modifilan-about.htm

Modifilan is a concentrated extract of the brown seaweed Laminaria japonica.  This seaweed is gathered in the clean waters of the northwestern Pacific Ocean.  Forty pounds of raw Laminaria japonica is needed to make just one pound of Modifilan.  This unique patented technology "semi-digests" the tough outer layer of seaweed fibers to expose, concentrate, and make much more bioavailable the macro- and micronutrient-dense central vein of the Laminaria.

Although the nutritional and medicinal powers of seaweeds have been known for thousands of years, the scientific basis of their health benefits has been established only recently.

One of the most impressive aspects of Modifilan that sets it apart from other types of seaweed products is its very high content of soluble polysaccharides like Fucoidan, laminarin, and alginate.  Fucoidan is particularly rich in simple sugars as glucuronic acid, mannose, and fucose that give Laminaria its distinctive taste.

The ongoing research into Fucoidan has conclusively demonstrated its ability to induce cancer cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) in leukemia, stomach, and colon cancer cells.  This biological data supports epidemiological observations that Laminaria is an important factor contributing to the relatively low breast cancer rates reported in Japan.

The technology involved in processing Laminaria japonica preserves and concentrates this vulnerable thermolabile substance, thus making Modifilan one of the richest sources of cancer-fighting Fucoidan.

Another polysaccharide in Modifilan that may have anti-cancer properties is Laminarin.  It is known that tumor formation and growth require a highly charged extra-cellular matrix.  Solid tumors provoke ongoing high-level fibrin leakage from surrounding capillaries.  This fibrin clot gets invaded by various cells that are recruited by solid tumors, including fibroblasts and endothelial cells.  The former cells lay down a heavily charged matrix throughout the tumor, and the latter cells participate in tumor angiogenesis (vascularization).

Angiogenesis is a prerequisite for tumor expansion and metastasis.  It has been shown that laminarin sulfate inhibits the binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF) to an extra-cellular matrix, leading to inhibition of fibrin clot invasion by tumor-recruited fibroblasts and endothelial cells.  This suggests a novel approach to tumor therapy based on blocking angiogenesis.

Cancer metastasis involves the tumor cell adhesion to host tissue basement membranes, followed by tissue invasion.  Fucoidan interferes with cancer cells' metastasis by inhibiting the physical interaction between tumor cells and basement membranes, as well as suppressing the proteolytic cascade of plasminogen activation.

Interaction and organization of cells and tissue in general, and tumor and host cells in particular, may be mediated by the interactions between cell membrane polysaccharides and the corresponding protein receptor.  Fucoidan, a sulfated fucopolysaccharide, inhibits the adhesion process (cell-to-cell interaction) by blocking lectin-like adhesion molecules (glycoproteins) on cell surfaces and thus interfering with tumor cell colonization (metastasis).

Another mechanism of antiproliferative (anti-tumor) properties of Fucoidan was shown in vitro and in vivo on a cell line derived from a human bronchopulmonary carcinoma (a particularly chemo-resistant tumor).  Fucoidan exerted antiproliferative activity, with a block observed in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

It has also been demonstrated that Fucoidan acts as a so-called activator of the reticulo-endothelial system, specifically as an enhancer of phagocytosis.  This suggests another aspect of antitumor activity of Fucoidan related to the activation of macrophage-mediated tumor cell killing.

There are also non-polysaccharide fractions from Laminaria that have been found to have significant cancer-preventative anti-mutagenic (anti-DNA damage) activity against typical genotoxic substances.

Another promising use of the sulfated polysaccharides Fucoidan and laminarin is in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.  Several mechanisms are involved:  the inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation (monoclonal hyperplasia), which is an important step in atherogeneses;  as well as activation of enzymes involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, which can be useful in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipedemia.  Laminarin has been shown to have a hypotensive effect.  It also exhibits 30 percent of the anticoagulant activity of heparin.

All of these properties of sulfated polysaccharides make Modifilan clinically applicable in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerosis, cancerogenesis, and cancer metastasis.

Another extremely important area of Modifilan application is in environmental medicine.  The polysaccharide laminarin has been shown in four animal species (mice, guinea pigs, dogs, and monkeys) to prevent acute radiation sickness and death (about LD90) when administered within 24 hours after radiation exposure.  This research suggests that the brown seaweed Laminaria can be clinically useful in the treatment and prevention of the adverse effects of ionizing radiation.

The non-digestible polysaccharide alginate that comprises 50 percent of Modifilan’s total dry weight has the unique ability of binding heavy metals and radioactive substances to its own molecules.  Because the alginate is non-digestible, it is excreted from the body together with toxic compounds.  This is particularly important for cadmium and mercury, as these metals are found at dangerously high levels in air, water, and food.

Alginate can also remove isotopes that have previously been absorbed by the human body from the environment.  Even small amounts of radioactive pollution will expose surrounding cells to harmful radioactive emission.

A percentage of Strontium molecules stored in the bone structure (or any other toxic substance stored in the tissue) is constantly released and traveling in the blood stream.  Since the blood feeds the saliva and bile, part of the released strontium or other toxic metal ends up in the large intestine.  Most of the liquid in the large intestine is reabsorbed by the body, including the radioactive isotopes and heavy metals which are redeposited back into the tissue.  Alginate can break this process, because toxic substances are bound to the alginate molecules and released from the body with feces.  Alginate binds to all heavy metals, including lead, mercury, cadmium, cobalt, copper, and radium.

Modifilan should be consumed over at least a four-month period to expedite removal of toxic substances stored in the body.

Another interesting potential application of Modifilan as one of the best sources of Fucoidan is for inflammatory conditions of the alimentary tract.

The inflammation process involves elevated synthesis of the proinflammotory mediators like adhesion molecules, white cell infiltration of gastrointestinal mucosa, and altered mucosal integrity.  Therapeutic use of heparin has produced clinical remission in the majority of patients with inflammatory bowel disorder.  One of the mechanisms involved is restoration of the fibroblast growth factor activity that stimulates repair of the epithelium.  Since Fucoidan shares many properties with heparin, including cell surfact activity, similar therapeutic benefit can be expected through the use of Fucoidan.

Another mechanism of the beneficial effect of heparin, heparan sulphate, and potentially Fucoidan is their mucosal-protective properties as glycosaminoglycans.  Gastrointestinal inflammation may cause alteration in the protective mucosal layer of glycosalminoglycans, and may cause substances like heparin and Fucoidan to become "conditionally essential" nutrients suitable for oral administration, because they can be absorbed across the GI mucosa.

About Seaweed

By Irene Yaychuk-Arabei, PhD, MH, RNC
http://www.naturodoc.com/library/detox/Modifilan-about.htm

There are several hundred species of seaweed.  Only a handful of these -- kelp, nori, moss, and dulse -- are familiar to North Americans.  Seaweeds are nonpoisonous, although not always palatable.  We assume that people living close to the sea (such as Japanese, Scandinavians, or Irish) consume seaweeds.  They are not the only ones, however.

Several decades ago, Dr. Weston Price, a dentist, found that natives of the high Andes carried a small bag attached to the neck.  In it was a greenish-brown substance, a quantity of which was consumed everyday.  The substance was seaweed obtained from coastal Indians.  In spite of the difficulty in obtaining such seaweed, these extraordinarily healthy dwellers of the high Andes would not do without it.

The sea contains in solution every element necessary to maintain healthy life.  Thus, seaweeds are considered the most nutritious plants on earth.  Their nutritive values greatly exceed those found in other food sources -- and are in an organic form that humans can readily utilize.  Seaweeds are especially rich in calcium and iodine.  They also suppliy chromium (essential for glucose utilization), zinc (for collagen strength and healthy skin), iron, potassium, copper, sulphur, silver, tin, zirconium, phosphorous, and silicon (crucial to skin elasticity), magnesium, manganese, boron, bromides, and other trace minerals necessary for health.

The most important nutrient provided by kelp is iodine.  This is particularly crucial for inland, iodine-poor soil, such as that found in the Great Lakes area of North America and in central Europe.  The amount of iodine in sea plants exceeds that found in inland plants by as much as 20,000 percent.  Kelp iodine facilitates the passage of nutrients into the mitochondria (small components of cells).  It also helps to nourish the thyroid gland and maintain good thyroxin balance.
Improved Metabolism

Thyroid function directly affects body metabolism.  Native Hawaiians tend to be stocky and overweight, yet they experience little heart disease or other health problems.  They attribute this to lima lip, their native kelp.  Both Norwegians and traditional Japanese are healthy people who are also great consumers of sea vegetation.

Often obesity and sub-clinical iodine deficiencies are related.  That may be why some reducing diets encourage the use of algae.  Calories in sea vegetables are also negligible, and fat content is only from one to eight per cent.  Bladderwrack is often used in "slimming tea" formulas.

A smoothly functioning thyroid also helps to balance estrogen levels.  The dietary factor most often associated with breast cancer is the amount and quality of fat intake;  however, seaweed may have a protective role in that regard.

The Japanese have a very low incidence of breast cancer.  However, migrant Japanese in Hawaii (who ate less then one fifth of the seaweed eaten by the Japanese living in Japan) had a significantly higher incidence of breast cancer.  According to the Ebers Papyrus, ancient Egyptians gave seaweed to patients with breast cancer.
Beneficial Intestinal Flora

Nutrients in sea vegetation appear to help cleanse the colon and improve digestion and absorption.  A study of fecal flora in the Japanese diet versus the Western diet showed significant differences in the numbers of beneficial aerobic (oxygen-loving) organisms in fecal flora.  This is believed to be due to the antibiotic activity of seaweed that destroys harmful anaerobic bacteria.

Seaweed provides organic chlorine compounds that are important in the manufacture of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.  The mucilage in seaweeds is soothing to the intestinal tract and promotes peristalsis.  The gels in sea vegetables are nutritious and provide roughage as well.  Vitamins A, D, and C found in seaweed help to rebuild the mucous membranes of the intestinal tract.

A 1946 Philippine Medical Journal reported the use of seaweed as an anti-helmintic, or destroyer of intestinal worms.  During the war, anti-helmintic medication was unavailable, so powdered sea vegetation was used.  It proved itself to be 73 percent effective, and non-toxic as well.
Antioxidant Activity

Antioxidants keep our cells young, protect us from cancer, and act as a preservative to keep fats from becoming rancid.  Lipids from porphrya were analyzed and tested for antioxygenic activity.  It was found that components of this seaweed have antioxidant activities similar to butylated hydroxytoluene, (BHT), a preservative used in vegetable oils.  Another protector against cancer is the trace element selenium.  Many seaweeds, notably porpyra, contain significant levels of selenium.
Pollution Antidote

Seaweed is noted for its ability to bind heavy metals and radioactive pollutants.  Dr. Yukio Tanaka of the Gastrointestinal Research Lab at McGill University demonstrated that kelp may inhibit the absorption of lead, cadmium, and radioactive strontium (one of the most hazardous pollutants).

80 to 90 percent of radioisotopes of Strontium 90 could be removed from the intestinal tract in the presence of seaweed.  Sodium alginates actually chelate the remaining amount out of the bone structure.  So much Strontium 90 has been released by nuclear explosions, power plants, and nuclear weapons facilities that it is believed that every person has detectable levels in their bone tissue.  Many cancers are attributable to this contamination.

METAL DETOX WITH MODIFILAN

http://www.medicinefromthesea.com/site/779141/page/390748

Bones
The high mineral content of Modifilan helps bulid and restore bone structure, density and integrity. The alginates in Modifilan help remove radioactive strontium and other toxic and radioactive minerals from the bones helping to prevent bone cancer.
 
Brain
Mercury is a toxic heavy metal commonly found in human tissue, especially nervous tissue. We are exposed to Mercury in our environment, in several edible fish species and from silver amalgam dental fillings. The alginates in Modifilan permanently bind mercury and carry it out of the body in the stool.
 
Blood Vessels of the Heart & Brain
Studies suggest that the polysaccharide Laminarian in brown seaweed helps reduce the formation of atherosclerosis, improves blood lipid levels and has hypotensive and anticoagulant properties. Laminarian is present in Modifilan but more highly concentrated in UF-n,Fucoidan.
 
Connective Tissue
The alginates in Modifilan bind and detoxify toxins that negatively affect the connective tissues and joints. Other nutrients in Modifilan improve the structure and integrity of connective tissue and help in it's repair.
 
Joints
Modifilan and UF-n help reduce inflammation, reduce the breakdown of collagen cartilage and help repair joints.
 
Gastro-Intestinal
Modifilan alginate fibers improve bowel tone and elimination. They remove toxic material and reduce inflammation in the gut. The mucilage protects and rejuvenates the lining of the gut and helps restore proper levels of healthy gut flora.
 
Immune System
Nutrients and polysaccharides in Modifilan and UF-n have direct benefits to the immune system by increasing the number and effectiveness of immune cells. Indirect benefit to the immune system is added by decreasing the toxic burden on the body as well as improving the health and function of almost every tissue and organ.
 
Thyroid Gland
Modifilan supplies a rich source of organic iodine and other trace minerals which are necessary for thyroid health and function. The alginates in Modifilan bind and remove radioactive iodine which kills thyroid cells. The polysaccharide Fucoidan helps prevent and destroy abberant cells. Fucoidan is present in Modifilan and more concentrated in UF-n,Fucoidan.
 
Lymph Nodes & Vessels
Laminaria Japonica, the seaweed used to make Modifilan, has been used for more than a thousand years to treat swelling of the lymph nodes. It decongests lymph nodes and improves lymphatic flow.
 
Skin, Hair & Nails
The nutrients in Modifilan improve the structure, appearance, repair and growth of skin, hair and nails.

Sources or Mercury Poisoning

AMALGAM (SILVER) DENTAL FILLINGS

Amalgam fillings are approximately 50% or more Mercury. Two (or more) metals in an acid environment (your mouth) is called a battery. Mercury vapors are released every time you chew. The amalgam fillings wear down and corrode over time releasing the mercury into your body.

SEAFOODS
The aquatic food chain can concentrate organic mercury compounds in fish and seafood, which, if eaten by humans, can affect the central nervous system, impairing muscle, vision, and cerebral function, leading to paralysis and sometimes death (see Minamata disease). Acute mercury poisoning causes severe digestive-tract inflammation. Mercury accumulates in the kidneys, causing uremia and death. Exposure of the developing fetus through maternal intake of contaminated fish can result in neurologic developmental abnormalities in cognitive and motor functions.

DRUGS, VACCINATIONS
Many vaccinations contain Thimerosal, a mercury based preservative. Drugs containing mercury can cause sensitivity reactions, sometimes fatal. In these cases the Mercury is injected directly into your body. Mercurochrome®/Merbromin (topical disinfectant) Thimerosal/Tincture of Merthiolate (topical disinfectant and preservative) Topical medications for psoriasis, eczema, etc. (older products) Homeopathic remedies, Mercurial preservatives in over-the-counter nasal sprays, hemorrhoidal ointments, eye and contact lens products.

THERMOMETERS
Oral and rectal fever thermometers Basal thermometers (for natural family planning) Candy, deep fry, and oven thermometers Indoor and outdoor thermometers Specialty thermometers such as mason’s hygrometer or sling psychrometer (for determining relative humidity), minimum-maximum thermometer (greenhouse/horticulture use) Thermometers for incubators and other on-farm uses.

BAROMETERS AND MANOMETERS
Barometers used for measuring barometric pressure (climatological) Manometers used to monitor vacuum in milking systems (dairy farms) Manometer/vacuum gauge device used for carburetor synchronization (for multicarburetor motorcycles, cars, and boats).

LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL/SWITCH APPLICATIONS
All fluorescent lamps All high intensity discharge (HID) lamps: mercury vapor, metal halide, high pressure sodium ‘Neon’ lamps: many colors contain argon gas and mercury; when purchasing, specify non-mercury colors (filled with neon gas) if possible Tilt switch in ‘silent’ wall switches (look for ‘top’ mark) Tilt switch in heating/cooling thermostats (also listed above under heating and cooling systems) Tilt switch in automatic shut off steam irons (except for newer models with one-hour shutoff) Tilt switch in some cellular/portable phones Tilt switch in cover of some portable/laptop computers Tilt switch in gas gauge of some riding lawnmowers and lawn tractors Tilt switch in some sump pumps Mercuric oxide batteries; used primarily in hearing aids, cameras/light meters, and watches.

AUTOMOTIVE & MARINE
Tilt switch in hood and trunk lights Tilt switch in bilge pumps Manometer/vacuum gauge device used for carburetor synchronization (for multicarburetor motorcycles, cars, and boats).

MAJOR APPLIANCES
Gas ranges and wall ovens (home and RV use, standing and electronic pilot): mercury flame sensor/safety valve Gas dryers: mercury flame sensor/safety valve (pre-glow plug models) Gas refrigerators: Assume presence of mercury flame sensor/safety valve in all brands and models except Norcold model 1082 and 600, 900, 1200 series gas and gas/electric refrigerators Washing machines: spin cycle shutoff tilt switch attached to lid (concealed under top cover) Chest Freezers: tilt switch in lid for light Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers: small mercury displacement relay with “top” mark is believed to have been used in compressor circuit of most makes and models and may still be in production (confirming this) Gas hot water heaters do not use a mercury flame sensor/safety valve

HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS
Gas space heaters: mercury flame sensor/safety valve Boilers/hot water or steam heat: mercury flame sensor/safety valve (gas only); aquastat, pressurestat and other hydronic controls (any fuel) Furnaces/gravity or forced air heat: mercury flame sensor/safety valve (gas only); fan limit devices and other air controls (any fuel) Gas air conditioners: assume presence of mercury flame sensor/safety valve Thermostats for heating and air conditioning systems (may also contain nickel-cadmium battery for clock) Other applications, e.g., heat pumps, evaporative coolers, etc., are unknown

CHEMICALS:PAINTS, SOLVENTS, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
Manufacture of paints, various household items, and pesticides uses mercury; the finished product and the waste products released into air and water may contain mercury. Chronic poisoning, from occupational inhalation or skin absorption, causes metallic taste, oral inflammation, blue gum line, extremity pain and tremor, weight loss, and mental changes (depression and withdrawal). In young children, acrodynia (pink disease) is probably caused by an organic mercury compound in house paints. Pesticides: crabgrass killer, fungicides (orchard/seed dressing use, golf course mold treatment)

Organic Extract From Brown Seaweed

The powers of seaweeds have been drawn upon for thousands of years for their ability to prolong life, prevent disease, and impart beauty and health. Worldwide research is continuosly being done and brown seaweed has been found to be the most beneficial.

The product, Modifilan™, is the purest, most organic extract made from the brown seaweed Laminaria Japonica. This extract contains the life essential properties of fucodian, orgainic iodine, alginates and laminarin.

    * Fucoidan kills cancer cells.
    * Organic iodine regulates metabolism and promotes maturation of the nervous system.
    * Alginate is a natural absorbent of radioactive elements, heavy metals and free radicals.
    * Laminarin - polysaccharide helpful in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. It exhibits 30% of the anticoagulant activity of heparin.

Modifilan™ is unique as the temperature during processing and production does not exceed 176 degrees F. This is significant beause unlike the other seaweed products available on the market which are processed as high as 212 degrees F, Modifilan™ retains it's natural microelements because they are not broken down by high temperatures. This makes Modifilan™, the most powerful and effective seaweed product available.

The Benefits of Using Modifilan

    *
      Help those who are overweight by improving the function of the gastro-intestinal tract
    *
      Help decrease high blood-sugar and cholesterol levels
    *
      Improve the structure of hair and nails and help them to grow
    *
      Boost the immune system
    *
      Detoxify the body from heavy metals, radioactive elements, free radicals and toxins
    *
      Help to detoxify smokers from strontium and cadmium
    *
      Can help protect against thyroid cancer and other cancers
    *
      Can be used as a facial mask and body wrap for smoother and younger-looking skin

The brown seaweed in Modifilan™ is harvested from the clean, pristine waters of the northern Pacific ocean. Modifilan™ has been tested worldwide, is bottled in the United States.

The difference between Modifilan and dried seaweed

Modifilan™ is not dried seaweed. Modifilan™ is made from the nutrient-rich central vein of Laminaria Japonica; brown seaweed. The heavy outer fibers are sloughed off prior to processing. The rich nutrients remain. These nutrients are polysaccharides and are easily absorbed by our bodies because the seaweed is "predigested." (The stomach does not first have to break down the rough outer fibers.) Forty to fifty pounds of raw seaweed are needed to make just one pound of Modifilan™.

Recommended Usage

Modifilan™ is best taken on an empty stomach, such as upon rising in the morning and in between meals with plenty of water, as it is highly concentrated product. It is not recommended to take Modifilan™ before bedtime, as most people report an increased energy level, which could inhibit sleep.

Modifilan™ does not cause nausea on an empty stomach, as most vitamins usually do; on the contrary, it gives a feeling of well being in the stomach and intestines. Since Modifilan™ is a natural nutritional supplement and not a drug, these recommended dosages are approximate, and you may find your own ideal dosage.

To reach the best healing results for people who have serious conditions such as cancer, high blood sugar, cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol, poor thyroid function it is recommended to enhance their diet with taking Modifilan™ in larger quantities, such as 8 to 10 capsules per day (4 to 5 grams) for period of three months. If you observe improvement in health conditions, lesser dosage may be taken for maintenance, such as 2 to 4 capsules per day.

For chelation therapy, i.e. the removal of heavy metals and radiation from the body, take approximately 10 to 12 (in some cases more) capsules per day for up to six months. It is a good idea to give the body a break once a month for several days during the detoxification period. Because the amount of heavy metals in each person is different, it is recommended to have a hair analysis to see if the heavy metals have been effectively removed. And, because we all are different, it is important for each person to find his or her own ideal dosage.

For general health and prophylactic purposes, including temporary nausea, and indigestion (not caused by serious conditions) take 2 to 4 capsules per day.

These dosage recommendations are based on scientific research and clinical studies on subjects, who volunteered to take Modifilan™ as an additive to their regular diet. Please, refer to the RESEARCH page for more statistics.

The Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated these statements. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

This is my testimony in support of Christie's claim as to the health benefits of Modifilan:

"I saw Christie following the attack on her with some kind of electro-magnetic weapon in 2008. At that time, Christie had just started a health regimen that was built around a nutritional supplement called "Modifilan." Christie reminded me of a toddler that was learning to walk, or a child that was learning to ice skate, or roller skate. Each step that she took was unsteady, and she had to extend her arms (bent at the elbow) to help maintain her balance. Christie was literally fighting to maintain her balance with every step. This was extremely tiring for her, and she would have to rest periodically. Still, she kept on pushing herself. If Christie was acting (as some have accused her of doing), then she was giving an Oscar level performance right before my eyes!

I met Christie at the Texas Minutemen/U.S. Border Watch/Minuteman Project border watch in Laredo, Texas in September 2006. My first impression of Christie was that she was incredibly brave, and eager to learn new things. I was fortunate to go out on patrol with Christie and one of her friends from California, and I had the opportunity to teach them how to do a patrol the way I was taught in the Army. Six months later in 2007, I hiked with Christie in the hills surrounding Jacumba, California as she filmed evidence of drug smuggling activity there. So, there I was in San Diego, California (in 2008), and the sight of Christie struggling with every step that she took really tore me up emotionally! I was literally overwhelmed by conflicting emotions. On the one hand, I was glad to see Christie out of the wheelchair, but I was still remembering the strong, dynamic woman with whom I had shared those adventures. I was glad to see that she was recovering, and in good spirits overall, but I was consumed by anger at the people that had done this to Christie! It became obvious to me that the people responsible for the attack on Christie were setting her up to be killed.

Prior to my trip to California, I had talked to Christie on the phone, and she said that she was taking Modifilan, and proceeded to tell me about Modifilan. Christie told me that Modifilan was developed in Russia to help victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Christie reported that she had experienced a significant recovery that she attributed to taking Modifilan. In a relatively short time, she had gone from being wheelchair bound to walking again for short periods of time.

Fast forward to 2010, I have been amazed that Christie was able to recover from such a devastating attack! While her recovery is still underway, Christie is regaining near normal mobility, and slowly increasing her strength and stamina. The weapons that were deployed against her were simply diabolical in their very nature. So, Christie has won me over as a convert to the health benefits of Modifilan. Based on what I have seen firsthand, Christie's recovery has been nothing short of miraculous!"
