If NCD is not a drug, why is its patent labeled Epithelial Cell Cancer Drug?
The patent for Natural Cellular Defense is U.S. #6,288,045. The application was submitted for patent consideration under the title "Epithelial Cell Cancer Drug," and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office adopted that name as the patent title. However, the term drug is the legal term given to a product (whether natural or not) that is approved by the FDA. Companies marketing drugs are allowed to make specific product claims that cannot be made about products that are not approved as drugs.
Can NCD cure cancer?
NCD is not approved as a drug, and so no claim can be made that it cures, treats, or prevents cancer or any other disease. It would be illegal to do so as well as irresponsible on the basis of the small studies that have been done to date.
What we can say is that, according to testimonials reports, NCD has made a difference for many people with cancer. In addition, in one small, uncontrolled study involving 65 people with terminal cancer of various types, 78 percent were in complete remission for more than 12 months at the end of 2005 (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005).
Does NCD kill viruses?
No, but zeolite does trap pre-virus components, which prevents viruses from replicating. Viruses are produced in parts as on a production line, at the end of which the virus is fully constructed. Zeolite absorbs viral parts into the pores of the micronized zeolite aggregates (not into the molecular cages described above). This explains why zeolite seems to block the development of many viral infections, including herpes virus 1, coxsackie virus B-5, echovirus 7, and adenovirus 5. Forty anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed, with sufferers becoming pain-free in one to three days after beginning to take NCD. Anecdotal testimony also indicates that NCD is effective in alleviating the flu, colds, hepatitis C, rheumatoid arthritis, and viral- or heavy-metal-induced multiple sclerosis.
Zeolite’s anti-viral effect appears to be a preventative function that builds up over time, beginning after approximately four to six weeks of use, after heavy metals and other toxins have been mostly eliminated. However, there is some anecdotal evidence that this anti-viral effect can be immediate.
