Extensive testing, both in the laboratory and in the field over the last ten years, has proven this. There is no known level of Poly-MVA above which toxicity will occur. Poly-MVA does not harm normal cells -- even rapidly-dividing ones. Poly-MVA hydrates and energizes normal cells, while either normalizing or killing abnormal cells. Years ago, when Dr. Merrill Garnett, the creator of Poly-MVA, first released Poly-MVA for human consumption, the guidelines for its use were based upon his work in the laboratory with animals. He was certain that Poly-MVA was safe for people if they used it within certain strict guidelines; but, understandably, he preferred the guidelines to be very conservative, both with regard to dosage amounts, and its use in combination with certain other substances, such as antioxidants and chelates, since he had not tested these effects on people. Over the past few years physicians, from the United States and 8 foreign countries, have administered Poly-MVA to their patients. It is from their collected wisdom based on clinical experience that these updated guidelines for the use of Poly-MVA have been compiled.   1 cc - for each 5 pounds of body weight, twice a day. Each 8 ounce Bottle of Poly MVA contains 236 liquid cc * For advanced stage 4 cancers, many Veterinarians recommend doubling the recommended dosage until the patients' condition improves.

See Veterinary List   The following may also render Poly-MVA ineffective: 1. Tobacco smoke. 2. Exposure to insecticides and herbicides. 3. Use of additional alpha lipoic acid, lipoic acid or thioctic acid. 4. Use of steroids in moderate to large amounts will significantly diminish the effectiveness of Poly-MVA. Conditions for which Poly-MVA has been reported to be beneficial: 1. Malignancies of many kinds.* 2. Certain non malignant diseases and conditions. 3. Fatigue or lack of vitality. 4. Loss of appetite or weight. 5. Pain. 6. Maintenance remissions. 7. When radiation is indicated, post-radiation damage is often diminished with concurrent administration. 8. When radiation or chemotherapy is indicated, sometimes makes lower doses as effective as higher ones. Contraindications: None. Used as an adjuvant therapy, concurrently with primary conventional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, no contraindications are known at this time. Patients prone to pleural effusion require careful monitoring by a physician, since fluid accumulation may increase in the lungs with the administration of Poly-MVA. This fluid can be caused by an inflammation and immune response to the toxins released during the destruction of cancer cells. Effects that occasionally happen and are not a cause for alarm: 1. A cleansing reaction, also called a "detoxification reaction" or "healing crisis". This is caused by Poly-MVA destroying more cancer cells than the patients body can effeciently process and eliminate. Reduce dosage until the symptoms normalize. Symptoms may include rash, headache, unusual or strong body odors, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, or a temporary worsening of existing conditions. This "healing crisis" is usually dependent on the volume of cancer cells in the patient. In other words, the destruction of a large number of cancer cells will cause an inflammation & immune response that can put additional stress on the body. The destruction of a smaller number of cancer cells will create less of an immune response. 2. A temporary rise in cancer markers due to a large cancer "die-off"(destruction of Cancer cells). In the book, An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer, Dr. Jesse Stoff, M.D., an alternative medical doctor, is interviewed regarding this subject. Dr. Stoff has observed that cancer markers do not always provide the best indication of the specific character or relative aggressiveness of a cancer. With breast cancer, for example, there are 4 different cancer markers, but it is rare to find a breast cancer that produces more than 2 or 3 of them. "You can have a huge tumor sitting there and any one of these markers can be well within normal range," Dr. Stoff says. There is also a less than adequate correlation between cancer markers and the tumor mass. "You can have people with advanced metastatic disease and only moderately elevated levels of cancer markers, and vice versa," Dr. Stoff says. However, consistent correlations between tumor mass and cancer markers can serve as a rough approximation of how well the battle is going for any one individual, he adds. When the treatment activates the immune system to respond to the tumor cells, the cancer markers will typically start showing a sudden rise or spike. This is because large amounts of proteins (tumor antigens, or cancer markers) are released as the cancer cells begin to die. "The cancer markers will go through the ceiling at this point," Dr. Stoff says. "One needs to be prepared for this from a psychological point of view. *If blood tests are done, cancer patients can expect a rise in these markers. Over time these markers will begin to drop as the immune system's scavenging cells, the macrophages, sweep up the cancer cells debris and eliminate it from the body. This process of eliminating dead cancer cells varies from person to person and is dependent upon Liver function and other elimination factors. "The take-home lesson is that if you look at cancer markers only, you may get an inaccurate picture of how the cancer is behaving at that time," says Dr. Stoff. "The test should be repeated later on to ensure that the original reading is truly a spike, not an absolute, prolonged rise in the cancer markers." Poly-MVA may act as a paramagnetic contrast agent: After several months of use, or after use at high dosages for a shorter time, Poly-MVA has sometimes been known to act as a paramagnetic contrast agent in some X-ray and MRI scans. The prime concern is that a shadow caused by Poly-MVA might be mistaken for a shadow from tumor progression. In those cases where the patient is doing remarkably well and the only problematic finding is that the MRI or X-ray shows enhancement, the physician is advised to do additional diagnostic studies. Poly-MVA, a complex compound, contains a metal which vibrates when exposed to paramagnetic radiation, and which can produce a radio-opaque halo/shadow, that if not carefully evaluated, leads to a misreading of the X-ray or MRI. We therefore recommend that all patients taking Poly-MVA give their physician this information so that the most accurate radiological evaluation can be achieved. A CT scan may be preferable, thus avoiding the paramagnetic effect of the MRI and the palladium. Storage and Shelf Life It is not necessary to refrigerate Poly-MVA, but you may if you wish. Do not expose the Poly-MVA bottle to direct sunlight since such exposure may affect the taste. Exposure to heat is not a problem. There is no known end to the shelf life of Poly-MVA.       Home | Our Inspiration | Testimonials | Practitioners List Scientific Research | About PolyMVA | Order PolyMVA | What You Must Know
