CALCIUM AEP (COLAMINE PHOSPHATE)

The most underrated nutrient, autoimmune saviour

For a nutrient with an almost priceless medicinal value, calcium AEP (colamine phosphate) is tragically underused and pitifully underresearched. It’s the first mineral turn to when treating multiple sclerosis, Type I diabetes and most other illnesses that stem from a self-destructive immune system disorder.

The calcium salt of 2 amino ethanol phosphate, or calcium AEP, is widely distributed throughout our bodies, yet we do not know its function. But the few doctors who work with it understand that it offers true therapeutic hope against autoimmune diseases, conditions where the immune system turns on the body’s own cells, attacking joints or nerves or other tissues as if they were a virus or some other foreign substance. Conventional medicine offers no effective therapy for autoimmune disorders other than prednisonelike steroids and drugs that suppress the immune system and thereby expose people to a variety of hazardous side effects. Calcium AEP doesn’t do that. For an autoimmune condition like MS, it allows for real neurological improvements. And it doesn’t work for just a handful of people; it works for a majority.

One doctor, Hans Nieper, MD, deserves all the credit for discovering the impressive benefits of calcium AEP over thirty- five years ago. The German oncologist and cardiologist has administered it with great results to more than four thousand people. I’ve treated more than one thousand or so of my own patients with it and can attest to Nieper’s clinical findings.

The hardest part is notifying the rest of the world. Since the initial publications of Nieper’s research in 1966-68, virtually no other researcher has bothered to experiment with this remarkable substance. Thus, sadly enough, it is invaluable but remains largely ignored.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY CALCIUM

Perhaps I should refer to calcium AEP by its other name, colamine phosphate. When I extol its virtues, a patient typically will say, ‘But Pm already taking calcium.” I don’t need any more.’ Well, this is not your average calcium supplement. AEP is the therapeutic workhorse in this compound. It transports minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium to positions along cell membranes, which serve to protect the cells from harm while allowing nutrients and biochemicals to enter. Based on these actions, Nieper calls calcium AEP ‘membrane integrity factor’, or vitamin Mi, for short.

The safeguard provided by AEP is ideally suited to treat any autoimmune disorder – including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, Crohn’s disease, colitis, pulmonary fibrosis and gastritis. Although I use colamine phosphate whenever a blood test reveals an increase in ANA, a biochemical associated with autoimmune malfunctions, the most astounding results appear in people with MS or early-stage Type I diabetes.

Multiple Sclerosis
During the early stages of this autoimmune disorder, marked by the immune system’s erosion of myelin, the protective covering that surrounds our nerves, colamine phosphate usually provides significant relief, if not a complete remission. People are more coordinated, feel less limb numbness, experience fewer muscle spasms and often have a dramatic increase in energy. The therapeutic help is not as consistently beneficial when the disease is far advanced. But my experience places it light-years ahead of any conventional therapies now used.

However, don’t take my word for it. Ask people who have tried it.

• Some 63 per cent of Nieper’s 151 American patients have said their MS improved with calcium AEP.
• Another 19 per cent reported that their MS had stabilized, a result considered equally remarkable in this progressively debilitating disease.
• Only 3 per cent reported that their health grew worse, the unfortunate fate of most people treated conventionally for MS.

My patients’ results are similar to Nieper’s. Most of them say they experience less fatigue, improved bladder function, a steadier walking gait, more strength, better balance, improved coordination, less arm and leg numbness, and fewer muscle spasms.

Contrast these results with those of beta-interferon, the expensive, widely promoted, officially sanctioned drug treatment for MS. The medical community has marvelled at its so-called success, yet beta-interferon merely allows the disease to progress more slowly. When failure becomes the standard for success, the futility of mainstream offerings is made clear.

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
My most dramatic successes with calcium AEP have come with people in the initial stages of Type I diabetes. Here the immune system assaults the pancreatic cells that manufacture insulin. When a sufficient number of cells are destroyed, the body can no longer make enough insulin to help metabolize the sugars in food. Daily insulin injections must then compensate for loss of the hormone, and a lifelong struggle begins against blood sugar instability and its many undesirable consequences. However; regular calcium AEP injections can keep the disease away for years — provided we catch it soon enough, which is usually the snag. By the time a person is typically diagnosed with Type I, his or her insulin-making machinery has been irreparably damaged. Marie Speller, is one of our AEP successes, but we ha not yet been referred enough patients with early Type I diabetes to know how consistently we can forestall the destruction Perhaps the awareness this book may provide will give the world a chance to bring this illness under control.

Cancer
Curiously, few of Nieper’s MS patients have developed cancer, which goes against the odds and suggests that calcium AEP might somehow prevent the disease. He feels confident that further research will confirm some role for calcium AEP in decreasing the risk of cancer. Let’s hope he’s right. The idea of calcium attached to a molecule that transports it to its target means calcium AEP would help restore bone loss from osteoporosis or bone cancer. Nieper’s experience in both has led him to tell me it is his treatment of choice.

SUPPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS

Injectable calcium AEP isn’t available to the average supplement user and you will need to find a doctor who is familiar with it or who will at least agree to administer it to you. For the full therapeutic punch, it must be injected intravenously but never intramuscularly. The most commonly used dosage is 400 mg from a 10 cc vial, injected three times a week.
