Breathing in and out too fast and too deep is one bodily way in which, like palpitations, anxiety is manifested. This response seems to be particularly common in adolescent girls. If continued for more than a few minutes, excessive carbon dioxide is removed by the lungs from the blood, which becomes correspondingly alkaline. This affects the levels of calcium in the blood, and, in turn, the conduction of nerve impulses and the contraction of muscles. The net effect is that the subject experiences painful tingling in the hands and toes, which become flexed and contracted in a cramped posture. The lack of carbon dioxide also produces a feeling of light-headedness, and the total picture may be confused with a seizure. Treatment is simple and dramatically effective. A paper or polythene bag is placed (temporarily!) over the patient’s, nose and mouth, so that she re-breathes her own expired air, rich in carbon dioxide. The body chemistry and clinical state rapidly return to normal.

CETYLMYRISTOLEATE: At room temperature cetylmyristoleate is a liquid wax. It can be digested only in the alkaline environment of the small intestine. Cetylmyristoleate is a large molecule. These molecules have a strong affinity for each other and tend to clump together in large impenetrable masses. This results in a very small surface area relative to its weight and volume. Only the surfaces are exposed to the digestive process. Since that is only a very small percentage of the whole, very little gets digested, giving unaltered cetylmyristoleate a very low level of bioavailability. This is true of virtually all waxes. Faecal analysis indicates that they pass through the digestive system virtually undigested.

CMO: To get an efficient and effective orally administered product, it was essential to raise the digestibility and resultant bioavailability of cetylmyristoleate. Consequently, we had to develop proprietary pharmaceutical processing methods that employ cerasomal technology. The resulting product, now a waxy solid rather than a liquid, was appropriately named

cerasomal-cis-9-cetylmyristoleate, and trademarked as CMO.

There is a very important difference between the liquid form and the solid form. As a solid, CMO now resembles a crystalline structure that shatters in the alkaline confines of the small intestine. These shattered particles form a netlike mesh with enormous surface areas, allowing immensely greater digestive efficiency. Furthermore, the reticulated cleavage faces range between 0.9 and 1.0 microns in diameter, which accesses biological uptake mechanisms not available to either larger or smaller particles. Research shows that the body is 40 to 200 times more receptive to particles of this size. This is what makes CMO much more bioavailable and effective than other products. And it is our exclusive proprietary processing methods that make it so.

CETYLMYRISTATE: It’s pathetic that we even have to bother with this one. Myristate, as opposed to myristoleate, has virtually no immunomodulatory properties. Thus, it has essentially no effect on arthritis or any other autoimmune disease. The best that promoters of these products (often as cheap as $3.00-$4.00 a bottle wholesale) can come up with to describe their stuff is something like “a free floating myristate.” Nobody here can figure out what that means. And the producers won’t clarify. If you can figure it out, please clue us in.

A NOTE ON “VEGETABLE” SOURCES: Edible Oil and Fat Products, clearly lists only four sources for myristoleic acid, the substance needed to produce any form of myristoleate, including cetylmyristoleate. Those sources are beef tallow, butterfat, chicken fat, and sheep tallow. Period! Its extensive listings clearly show that there are NO VEGETABLE SOURCES, not even coconut or soybean oil as some have tried to claim. Any claim that cetylmyristoleate can come from a vegetable source is fraudulent.

A CAUTION ABOUT SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS: Synthetically produced cetylmyristoleate contains a large amount, probably 50%, of trans type cetylmyristoleate. The trans type molecule is unnatural to the body and causes physical damage by disrupting cellular membranes. Even in some so-called “natural” products there remains a trace of toxic residue left from harsh processing. Because it is a completely natural product, CMO has absolutely no trans molecules, and there is no toxic residue because no toxic substances are used in any stage of its processing.

We hope this helps you understand the difference between products, and that there is only one genuine and effective CMO.

Symptom

Flat, dome-shaped, or protruding skin growths that can be up to a centimeter long and vary in color

Home care

If a mole requires treatment of any kind it will be necessary to see a doctor.

Precautions

-    A doctor should see any mole that is bleeding or crusting, changing color, or growing rapidly. The doctor should also be consulted if a mole has been partly removed by accident, or if the color is extending into surrounding skin.

-    Most moles are noncancerous. However, a type of mole known as pigmented nevus can become cancerous; this mole (unlike other types) is present at birth and is dark in color and very large.

-    Moles cannot safely be burned off by the following methods: electrocautery, acids, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen. The doctor must remove them completely, if necessary, with a scalpel.

-    No child is completely free of moles; some children develop many of them during childhood.

Moles are benign (noncancerous) growths on the skin. They can be flat, dome-shaped, or protruding. They vary in color from tan or brown to blue or black, and in size from one-half to one centimeter or larger. Moles are rarely present at birth; they develop during childhood. No child is totally free of moles, and some children develop hundreds of them.

It’s very unlikely that any mole will become cancerous (malignant). However, one exception to this is a type of mole called a pigmented nevus. This mole, which is present at birth, is extremely large (several centimeters wide) and dark and a mole of this type can become malignant.

Signs and symptoms

Moles are easily recognizable, but if the doctor is in any doubt about a growth on the skin a laboratory examination of part of the growth may be necessary. Examination of an entire mole under the microscope may be needed.

Home care

If a mole requires any kind of treatment, it will require medical, not home, care.

Precautions

A mole should be seen by a doctor if:

• It has been partly removed by accident;

• It is bleeding or crusting;

• It is changing color or growing rapidly;

• If the pigment (color) is moving into the surrounding skin.

Medical treatment

If the mole shows any of the characteristics listed above under “Precautions,” the doctor will remove the mole surgically. Any pigmented nevus probably should be surgically removed because of the possibility of a malignancy. Moles must be removed completely with a scalpel. The surgery will leave a scar of some sort. Moles cannot safely be burned off by a procedure called electrocautery, or by acids, dry ice, or liquid nitrogen. Moles are sometimes removed for cosmetic reasons.
