scientific research expertise and infrastructure in the world, much of it funded with federal dollars. It’s
my opinion that it’s time for us to acknowledge that business as usual in biomedical research is no longer
adequate. Rather it’s essential that we broaden our investment into our other potential avenues in the
defense of and the healing from terror. Thank you very much and I’d be happy to answer any
questions.
CHAIRMAN BURTON: Thank you, Dr. Jonas. Dr. McDaniel?
DR. REG MCDANIEL: Mr. Chairman, and members of the House Committee on Government
Reform, it’s a privilege to be asked to appear before this panel of members of the House and invited to
testify with the professionals and scientists chosen to address the problems of bioterrorism.
If it were not for the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, otherwise
knows as DSHEA, my comments and written information given to you would not exists. I, as a
physician, who I might say was initially quite skeptical, now commend the Congress for its unanimous
vote to pass this legislation.
My comments and written submission are focused on the impact of glyconutrients, dietary sugars, not
herbs or oriental preparations, held within the human body that support and enhance natural defense
mechanisms against infectious disease.
They also are taken in support or standard therapy. Slide one that’s included in the packet and
identifies 30 scientists and 11 institutions in the United States that are performing experiments on our
dietary ingredients and reported their results for peer review.
Slide two identified researchers outside the United States that have contributed to the development of
clinical applications of glyco nutrition. Over 200 scientific presentations have been made by these
scientists on the glyco science of these micronutrients.
When research was initiated in the early 80’s it was a scientific heresy to represent that sugars have
significant biological roles to play in the biochemistry of life processes. It had been incorrectly accepted
that glyco nutrients, known as dietary sugars, monosaccharides, carbohydrates, were simply burned for
energy to support life.
Slide three is a collection of journals that validate the very major role sugars play in the structure and
especially the function of the human body. Glycobiology and glyconutrition are now recognized as
cutting edge technology. Dietary sugars are critical components in the molecular structure of
Page 36
compounds synthesized in cells that conduct the complex and marvelous processes we call life. And
this includes protection and defense against infectious agents.
Multiple bacteria and viruses have been shown to be killed or inactivated in cell cultures in animals by
glyconutrients. This was done because humans claimed benefit from this before we did the laboratory
examinations. With our limited funds we’ve shown five viruses, pathologic yeast, gram positive and
gram-negative bacteria have been activated by a formulation. Independently, Lanced
in 1996
contains a review article citing similar saccharides induce action against 37 infectious agents classified as
pathologic bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoon’s.
Evidence is expanding that supplying concentrated micronutrients of which glyconutrients are a major
category, will support relief for chronic and acute diseases in a manner unmatched for a lack of toxicity
unparallel low cost. This is accomplished by nutritional support of intercellular molecular synthesis under
the control of the genetic code that, much like a computer program, contains the instructions for the
biochemistry of life; this is normal structure and function. Such instructions enable appropriate
recognition and response to invading microorganisms. How is this possible with non-toxic dietary
supplements?
There’s a common belief promulgated by authorities in medicine and nutrition that all one needs for
good health and healing is a good general diet with variety. This statement may be correct for those
who are healthy. We have found that it is not sufficient for those with chronic and recurrent diseases,
especially infections. In instances of unusual, epidemic and virulent infectious agent exposure,
glyconutrient supplementation has been found effective for enhancing general immune function and
defense.
When supplied at a higher level and available in nature, sugars needed for cellular synthesis can take in
eight defense mechanisms to a much higher level that are effective against infectious agents. The
biochemical principals responsible for this phenomenon and mechanisms action are in your written
material. Body defense, such as the mechanisms that act naturally when we recovery from a common
cold or influenza can now be unregulated to destroy virulent organisms associated with more virulent
disease.
Such benefit, again, is the result of increased synthesis of cell-to-cell communication molecules that act
like tiny IBM cards sent between cells to provide instructions for destroying bacteria, viruses and other
infectious organisms. Increasing the levels of glyconutrients in the diet increasing the synthesis of these
anti-infection molecules. The bar graph provided is evidence of the functional anti-viral activity
described. It is an example of the increase and general defense against infectious organisms that results
when glyconutrients are progressively added to the diet.
There’s a current concern for not only preventing and destroying Anthrax bacteria, but neutralizing
toxins that attack wholesale membranes. Physicians have reported apparent neutralization of bacterial
toxins produced by various species of bacteria and full recovery of patients near death. In addition,
there have been a few reports in major trauma and post-surgical infections complicated with multra-drug
Page 37
resistant organisms that dietary glyconutrients rendered the patient’s AC brow within hours of use
in chart and hospital expected stay.
Minimal morbidity occurred in patients expected to die, based on abundant prior medical experience.
