SANUM Pharmaceuticals: The PLEO SAN Preparations
Polysaccharides for Haptenic Therapy

(Explore Issue: Volume 10, Number 6)

Introduction

For many diseases, a pathogen's toxins can still be present after the germ itself has been eliminated, thus perpetuating the disease. In fact, the toxins might be the sole disease-causing agent. To protect themselves from their own toxins, pathogens produce specific polysaccharides (termed antigen absorbers by CORNELIUS) designed to bind the pathogen's own toxins or antigens, preventing them from becoming active. Moreover, viruses, bacteria, plants and animals know how to store and communicate information with the aid of saccharides. The code laid down in this language is thus able to influence a multitude of regulatory processes in the host organism.

Furthermore, the low-molecular-weight polysaccharides represent haptens, which ­ when coupled to a higher-molecular-weight carrier (e.g., protein) ­ can stimulate cellular and humoral defenses. Bacterial toxins released during earlier infections and not eliminated from the body due to immune-system deficiencies can be bound by haptens, and thus represent an antigen. This antigen is capable of stimulating the immune system by activating the T lymphocytes, ultimately leading to elimination of the bacterial toxins.

The following haptens are available as PLEO™ SANS Preparations in homeopathic dilutions:

Production of PLEO™ SANS (Sanukehls)

The initial materials for the various PLEO™ SANS are dead cells of the corresponding bacterial or fungal types. Using a painstaking extraction process, the polysaccharides necessary for haptenic therapy are dissolved out of the organism's cell walls. Due to differences in the fine structure of these polysaccharides in each bacterial or fungal type, this results in a large number of antigen variations.

In the extraction process, the polysaccharides are separated out from undesired proteins, as well as from lipid A, which is also a cell-wall component in gram-negative bacteria. The protein could trigger an allergic reaction, while lipid A is responsible for the toxic effect of the lipopolysaccharides (endotoxins) of gram-negative bacteria.

Polysaccharides from microorganisms are nontoxic to the host organism. For haptenic therapy with PLEO™ SANS, the extracted polysaccharide extract is homeopathically potentiated; the end result is largely free of proteins and endotoxins. Therefore, allergic and fever reactions to the use of PLEO™ SANS are unlikely.

Using PLEO™ SANS

Because of their effect in the organism, the PLEO™ SAN Preparations are utilized in the following areas:

1. Specific Terrain Cleansing

Specific terrain cleansing of microorganisms or their metabolic products is possible with the aid of the PLEO™ SAN Preparations in conjunction with microbiological or mycological findings. In addition, the corresponding PLEO™ SAN may be used against infections with similar pathogens.

Administering specific polysaccharides communicates specific information to the host organism, which it needs to regulate its symbiotic equilibrium with the microorganisms in question.

2. Stimulating the Immune System and Eliminating Reaction Blockages

After binding to a carrier molecule in the organism, haptens can trigger a humoral as well as a cellular immune response. These mechanisms neutralize and eliminate microbial antigens. Introducing the PLEO™ SAN structures to the body very quickly leads to immune-complex formation using the immunoglobulins present. This substance presumably functions as an immune modulator which effects a correction of immune-regulatory imbalances and develops its effect, for example, via induction of cytokines, particularly GM-CSF and IL-10. Based on investigations into the effects of PLEO™ SAN Pseu, it was possible to derive, in an immunologically substantial manner, that long lasting reaction blockages (e.g. as a consequence of treatment with corticosteroids) in cancer patients, or in cases of immune-system suppression, can be eliminated with the aid of the stimulating effect of SANUM Pharmaceuticals.

3. Hyposensitization

Haptens can also bind the antibodies or circulating immune complexes created to counteract the corresponding complete antigen. These antibodies (IgG) exhibit a blocking activity to allergic reactions that is transmitted by another antibody class (IgE). As hyposensitization continues to develop, the proportion of IgG often increases, while the concentration of IgE in the blood serum falls off.

4. Intermediate Agents when Treating with Nosodes

This effect is based on the absorption of the pathogenic antigens or toxins. Severe initial deterioration or antigen blockages are alleviated or eliminated by PLEO™ SAN Preparations.

 

5. As a Pharmaceutical for Individual Clinical Indication (see also Repertorium of the SANUM Pharmaceuticals, pp. 207-258)

Usage (Drops)

Take: for acute conditions, 5-10 drops every 12-24 hours; for chronic illnesses, 10 drops every other day

As an embrocation: 5-10 drops every 1 or 2 days at the site of the disease or in the bend of the elbow. After 8 months, therapy should be discontinued for several months.
