PCA from Maxam Nutraceutics
 | PCA- Nutritional Support for Natural Toxin & Waste Elimination
PCA is a nutraceutical designed for toxin removal and cleansing, manufactured by Maxam Nutraceutics. The product comes in the form of a sublingual spray. PCA is natural beneficial gut bacteria that has processed natural organic food concentrates which then become a natural, living part of the body's immunity to support our natural waste- processing systems. PCA helps boost your immune function and helps increase your body's natural ability to combat challenges.  Benefits: Removes heavy metals Attaches to and removes many harmful toxins Removes cardio and cerebral vascular plaque Helps rid the body of harmful mycoplasmas Lowers elevated enzyme counts Helps those suffering from various other environmental illnesses Provides a less invasive form of chelation Heavy metal toxicity and infection with pathogens including mycoplasma are of great concern to those suffering from environmental illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), autism, and others. PCA is designed to aid sufferers of environmental illness (EI) by providing nutrients required for the manufacture of important detoxifying substances such as glutathione within the body, as a source of important antioxidants such as lipoic acid, by supplying ingredients such as the algae chlorella that chelate (bind) toxic metals, and as a source of probiotic bacteria which aid digestive and detoxification processes. |

As the article makes clear, detoxification has become a way of life out of necessity for most Americans. Nothing works as well and is as gentle for children and teens as PCA from Maxam Nutraceutics.
Scientists Increasingly Link Vehicle Exhaust With Brain-Cell Damage, Higher Rates of Autism, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal ROBERT LEE HOTZ from The WSJ reports the following story which we reprint here as a public service in its entirety since it is so important for the public to know how to prevent autism.
Congested cities are fast becoming test tubes for scientists studying the impact of traffic fumes on the brain.
As roadways choke on traffic, researchers suspect that the tailpipe exhaust from cars and trucks—especially tiny carbon particles already implicated in heart disease, cancer and respiratory ailments—may also injure brain cells and synapses key to learning and memory.
New public-health studies and laboratory experiments suggest that, at every stage of life, traffic fumes exact a measurable toll on mental capacity, intelligence and emotional stability. “There are more and more scientists trying to find whether and why exposure to traffic exhaust can damage the human brain,” says medical epidemiologist Jiu-Chiuan Chen at the University of Southern California who is analyzing the effects of traffic pollution on the brain health of 7,500 women in 22 states. “The human data are very new.” So far, the evidence is largely circumstantial but worrisome, researchers say. And no one is certain yet of the consequences for brain biology or behavior. “There is real cause for concern,” says neurochemist Annette Kirshner at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. “But we ought to proceed with caution.”
To be sure, cars and trucks today generate one-tenth the pollution of a vehicle in 1970. Still, more people are on the road and they are stuck in traffic more often. Drivers traveling the 10-worst U.S. traffic corridors annually spend an average of 140 hours, or about the time spent in the office in a month, idling in traffic, a new analysis reported. No one knows whether regular commuters breathing heavy traffic fumes suffer any lasting brain effect. Researchers have only studied the potential impact based on where people live and where air-pollution levels are highest. Even if there were any chronic cognitive effect on drivers, it could easily be too small to measure reliably or might be swamped by other health factors such as stress, diet or exercise that affect the brain, experts say. Recent studies show that breathing street-level fumes for just 30 minutes can intensify electrical activity in brain regions responsible for behavior, personality and decision-making, changes that are suggestive of stress, scientists in the Netherlands recently discovered. Breathing normal city air with high levels of traffic exhaust for 90 days can change the way that genes turn on or off among the elderly; it can also leave a molecular mark on the genome of a newborn for life, separate research teams at Columbia University and Harvard University reported this year.
Children in areas affected by high levels of emissions, on average, scored more poorly on intelligence tests and were more prone to depression, anxiety and attention problems than children growing up in cleaner air, separate research teams in New York, Boston, Beijing, and Krakow, Poland, found. And older men and women long exposed to higher levels of traffic-related particles and ozone had memory and reasoning problems that effectively added five years to their mental age, other university researchers in Boston reported this year. The emissions may also heighten the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and speed the effects of Parkinson’s disease.
“The evidence is growing that air pollution can affect the brain,” says medical epidemiologist Heather Volk at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. “We may be starting to realize the effects are broader than we realized.”
Reviewing birth records, Dr. Volk and her colleagues calculated that children born to mothers living within 1,000 feet of a major road or freeway in Los Angeles, San Francisco or Sacramento were twice as likely to have autism, independent of gender, ethnicity and education level, as well as maternal age, exposure to tobacco smoke or other factors. The findings were published this year in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. “Based on our data, it looks like air pollution might be a risk factor for autism,” Dr. Volk says. Still, there are so many possible genetic and environmental influences that “it is too soon for alarm,” she says.
Exhaust fumes can extend farther from roadways than once thought. Traffic fumes from some major L.A. freeways reached up to 1.5 miles downwind—10 times farther than previously believed. And local weather patterns caused L.A. pollution levels to reach their most intense concentrations, not during normal rush hours, but in the hours before dawn when people are most likely to be at home, according to recent measurements by UCLA and USC researchers.
Scientists believe that simple steps to speed traffic are a factor in reducing some public-health problems. In New Jersey, premature births, a risk factor for cognitive delays, in areas around highway toll plazas dropped 10.8% after the introduction of E-ZPass, which eased traffic congestion and reduced exhaust fumes, according to reports published in scientific journals this year and in 2009. The researchers, Princeton University economist Janet Currie and her colleagues at Columbia University, analyzed health data for the decade ending 2003.After New York traffic managers rerouted streets in Times Square recently to lessen congestion, air-pollution levels in the vicinity dropped by 63%.
Scientists are only beginning to understand the basic biology of car exhaust’s toxic neural effects, especially from prenatal or lifetime exposures. “It is hard to disentangle all the things in auto exhaust and sort out the effects of traffic from all the other possibilities,” says Dr. Currie, who studies the relationship between traffic and infant health.
Researchers in Los Angeles, the U.S.’s most congested city, are studying lab mice raised on air piped in from a nearby freeway. They discovered that the particles inhaled by the mice—each particle less than one-thousandth the width of a human hair—somehow affected the brain, causing inflammation and altering neurochemistry among neurons involved in learning and memory.
To study the effect of exhaust on expectant mothers, Frederica Perera at Columbia University’s Center for Children’s Environmental Health began in 1998 to equip hundreds of pregnant women with personal air monitors to measure the chemistry of the air they breathed. As the babies were born, Dr. Perera and colleagues tested some of the infants and discovered a distinctive biochemical mark in the DNA of about half of them, left by prenatal exposure to high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in exhaust.
By age 3, the children who were exposed prenatally to high exhaust levels were developing mental capacities fractionally more slowly. By age 5, their IQ scores averaged about four points lower on standard intelligence tests than those of less exposed children, the team reported in 2009. The differences, while small, were significant in terms of later educational development, the researchers said.
By age 7, the children were more likely to show symptoms of anxiety, depression and attention problems, the researchers reported this year in Environmental Health Perspectives. “The mother’s exposure—what she breathed into her lungs—could affect her child’s later behavior,” Dr. Perera says. “The placenta is not the perfect barrier we once thought.”
The Healing Quest
Should PCA Become Part of the DAN Protocol?
In 1995, one of the leading researchers into the field of autism, Dr. Bernard Rimland, brought together a group of experts to brainstorm the nutritional, genetic and chemical factors that might be involved in autism and other autism spectrum conditions. Their sessions, refined over the years, brought about what has been popularly called the DAN (Defeat Autism Now) Protocol. Briefly, the DAN protocol eliminates casein in dairy, gluten in certain cereal grain products and, of course, all other junk foods, and includes an important nutritional supplement component.
Since autistic children have been shown to accumulate heavy metals, which are thought to be a primary cause of defective cognitive function, the DAN Protocol includes either dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) or dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS) as the primary detoxification methods for heavy metals. Unfortunately, although heavy metal removal is a very important part of the health and healing process, the side effects associated with DMSA and DMPS have become a real concern among parents of autistic children.
In fact, as early as February 1999, Cornell University researchers reported that DMSA might alter immune function, according to results of a study of pregnant rats and their offspring. Reporting in the journal Toxicology (1999;132(1): 67-79), the researchers say it is not known if the so-called chelation therapy has the same side effects in humans as was observed in pregnant rats. One cause for the immune system impairment could be DMSA’s effect on the availability of essential minerals in the pregnant rats and fetuses. A candidate mineral could be zinc, which is crucial for both development and maintenance of the immune system.
Thus, families with autistic children have now begun to modify the DAN Protocol by including a fermented probiotic oral spray formula called PCA as their chelation/clathration treatment of choice.
One such example comes to us from Beeck family, of La Grande, Oregon. They had been using the DAN protocol with DMSA to chelate their 4 ½ year old autistic son Miller’s heavy metals—“and it was a huge drag,” says Miller’s mother, Tina. “He went non-verbal and non-toilet trained every weekend that we were chelating.”
PCA—Nontoxic Alternative
In late March 2003, the Beeck’s began giving Miller the oral clathration formula, PCA from Maxam Labs, of Hood River, Oregon, a company specializing in formulas for behaviorally challenged children.
“We have been extremely pleased and have found PCA to be a cost effective chelation method that shows great results (his stool samples have shown the product behaving as claimed) with no regression; therefore, we are able to chelate/clathrate every day instead of three days out of every 14,” says Tina. She adds, “We have seen tremendous cognitive gains since then—slowly at first and then dramatically. He smiles! He laughs! He teases! Sometimes we feel that he seems downright neuro-typical! This has been confirmed by my skeptical husband (chemical engineer and HARD SCIENCE MAN), my son’s therapist, our daycare provider, Miller’s school, my friends.”
Isn’t it Time for DAN Protocol to include PCA?
It is our opinion that although DMSA and DMPS have shown marginal effectiveness, too many parents are complaining about the side effects of these drugs.
Although the DAN! organization hasn’t included PCA in its DAN Protocol, we think it is time to seriously consider its inclusion. Many parents have asked the organization to do so. Meantime, Healthy Living has reported month after month on the successful results autistic children are receiving with PCA—and without the side effects of DMSA or DMPS. Their heavy metal levels are being reduced, and their cognitive and behavioral skills are enhanced.
Yet, in a written advisory which Healthy Living has obtained, Joanne Sheehan, director of exhibits for Wellness Workshops at the DAN! 2002 Conference, noted, “The Consensus Committee has developed a protocol for dealing with removing mercury and other metals and it involves only DMPS and alpha-lipoic acid. While we recognize that there are other substances that have met with success, at this time the committee wants to adhere strictly to their protocol. Until the Consensus Committee revisits developments in chelation DAN! is unable to accept exhibits for products that use a different method.”
Dosage—The delivery method for PCA is as a trans-mucosal oral spray mist. The dosage for each product is one to eight sprays one more times daily. Clinical research has revealed no significant drug-related interactions or complications.

Detoxification
Man—The Endangered Species
I used to think that cancer was the most prevalent symptom of modern pollution. That was why my book Diet for a Poisoned Planet focused more on carcinogens in the food supply than nerve damage or reproductive toxicity. I no longer believe this. I believe now that brain chemistry faces challenges every day from modern pollution. And some forms of pollution include abuse, teasing, bullying, and more. Is there a nutritional supplement that can help a child or adult to maintain health with these challenges? Staying healthy today requires more sophistication than ever.
One of the people in my life who changed my way of thinking is Jim Cole. Jim was trained formally as an engineer but you can tell his passion is health and nutrition.
Jim runs the Big Gym in Hood River, Oregon, where Olympians and elite athletes train along with local athletes and everybody else into exercising, nutrition and health.
As a result, Jim interacts with many community members from kids to adults, from high school athletes to Olympians. It was Jim who began developing this line of thinking.
“In the mid-1980s I began noticing what only became apparent to most of us many years later when we finally woke up to the fact that our society is not only heavily chemically dependent but also overmedicated. Kids and parents were getting meds, most legally prescribed. What was going on? This couldn’t be good. How do you stay healthy?”
Soon terms came up like hyperactive, attention-deficit, depression, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Prozac, Zoloft, Ritalin. All the problems medications were taken to solve. Was there anything to help kids and adults who are healthy and want to stay that way?
“I wondered how we got to this state in the first place,” Jim told me in a recent interview. “How had it come to this? How had we fallen off of the path of natural living? How did we succumb to this overmedication? How could we stay healthy? As a gym owner and concerned member of our community, it was apparent that kids and adults alike back then had few choices. Doctors would tell me that a prescription was part of concluding the doctor-patient relationship. There was nothing mentioned about prevention or why there was an epidemic of behavioral and cognitive problems, especially among our teens, and then you could see these problems become even more severe. If we were medicating our teens, wouldn’t they be more likely to be dependent on drugs or medication as adults? How could one stay healthy when the whole paradigm was being oriented towards drugs?” Extremely nutritionally aware, fit people seeking to stay healthy flock to The Big Gym. and with this kind of example setting clientele, talking about nutrition could never be far behind. Jim, like several heroes featured in this issue, discovered the power of probiotics from an associate studying them at university laboratories in Massachusetts.
Gut Feeling
Jim, working with some of the best and most innovative scientists and nutritionists, had a feeling that intestinal dysbiosis was a prime symptom of our modern chemical society. But what placed him out of the mainstream is that this line of thinking really was not recognized and confirmed until a decade later in April 2010 when Dr. J.J. Bradstreet and co-investigators linked modern pollution with autism and attention deficit disorder.[i] Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are common and complex neurodevelopmental conditions.
“Newer evidence, however, reveals that ASDs are associated with: oxidative stress; decreased methylation capacity; limited production of glutathione; mitochondrial dysfunction; intestinal dysbiosis; increased toxic metal burden; immune dysregulation, characterized by a unique inflammatory bowel disease and immune activation of neuroglial cells; and ongoing brain hypoperfusion. Many of these same problems are common features in children with ADHD.”
The human body has an amazing ability to detoxify itself when given the proper nutrients. “One missing component in the treatment is the utilization of the body’s own detoxification mechanisms,” notes autism expert Mark Brudnak, Ph.D., N.D.[ii] In several articles in the journal Medical Hypotheses, Dr. Brudnak combines several potential mechanisms associated with autism to construct a theory that explains how the condition could develop and progress, and how probiotics can help.
“Arguably,” he says, “the largest detoxification component of the body—the endogenous enteric bacteria—are an enormous reservoir, which can be constantly and safely replenished.”
The amazing thing about the above is how much of what was discussed is centered on gut function. Jim recognized that the body needed beneficial bacteria as indispensible as it required oxygen. These lactobacilli with which the human race has lived as it has with oxygen populate our gut, oral cavity and other cavities that interact with the environment. They are critical to life, like vitamins, minerals, water. They turn raw chemicals into bioavailable nutrients (especially the B vitamin), breakdown toxic compounds (to protect their own environment, the human host), and provide many powerful fatty acids as well as antioxidants to renew their communities. Even the mitochondria in our cells are bacterially derived.
But in America, pollution also destroys natural beneficial bacterial populations. The overuse of antibiotics is one of the big causes of loss of beneficial bacteria in the body since antibiotics are broadly effective against both the good and the bad guys. They decimate whole neighborhoods, leaving them depopulated, and, given our modern, diet guess who will be coming back first? Chlorinated water, way too much junk food and not enough wholesomely prepared probiotic-rich foods are also our enemies.
Working with some of the best nutritional and research scientists, Jim began developing a line of nutrition formulas that would support modern detoxification as a key principle of staying healthy in a toxic world. His team was able to identify specific bacteria that provided strong detoxification and health potential. In particular, they strengthened gut health. And that was important. So many kids who fall prey to the world of chemical medications first complain of gut problems, as Dr. Bradstreet noted. Many health experts believe that our health emanates from the gut, where most of our immune cells are created, and where we take in and process nutrients. Keeping kids healthy had to be a priority. At the Big Gym, Jim Cole developed a great following.
The formulas that he developed were based on the power of probiotics. The specific strains being used were some of the most powerful health promoters discovered. But the one formula that seemed to become the most overall beneficial to people’s health is called PCA or PCA. Based on some of the most powerful detoxifying nutrients and herbs, the formula was so broad in foundation it seemed to just promote well being in children and adults. Every master herbalist knows when a formula is going to work. His featured Acidophilus salivarus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, all with tremendous scientific pedigrees for maintaining healthy inflammation response and keeping cytokines, messenger cells and other proinflammatory rogues in check and in a healthy range. But this formula went further. Its glutamic acid was brilliant. Glutamic acid repairs the gut and is considered a foundational gut nutrient. (It is also beneficial to healthy brain activity.) Meantime, its fulvic acids chlorella cell extract, phytoplankton, and alignic, acetylcysteine, glutathione, and lipoic acid are all part of the body’s ability to breakdown and transport away toxic chemicals including radiation (thanks to alginic acid, derived from kelp). Green sea vegetables—especially kelp—are also highly protective, thanks partly to alginic acid.
,
Very recently, Critical Reviews in Food, Science and Nutrition reported that chlorella and other green foods contain not only chlorophyll but other “unique pigments” and “may also have potent probiotic compounds that enhance health.”
Chlorella, in fact, can breakdown toxic organochlorine chemicals. Researchers writing in March 2001 in Environmental Health Perspectives expanded on a long line of experimental and clinical studies that show how powerful chlorella is when it comes to supporting the body’s already health detoxification pathways. Chlorella, rich in chlorophyll, reported these researchers, inhibits dioxin absorption and accelerates its excretion. The amount of dioxin “was remarkably decreased along with the increasing dietary chlorophyll. These findings suggest that chlorophyll is effective for preventing dioxin absorption via foods.”
Half a dozen additional studies can be found that support the use of chlorophyll for reducing pesticide absorption. In 1984, a study in Drug Chemistry and Toxicology (7;1:57-71) found that chlorella was very effective in helping eliminating chlordecone. Also known as kepone, unfortunately this toxic pesticide contaminated much of the James River in Virginia, leading to widespread contamination, closing of the river, and the pollution of many people’s tissues.
Spirulina is similarly beneficial Chinese researchers discovered that zinc deficient children age three and up recovered better with high zinc spirulina tablets than with common zinc sulfate.[ix] Spirulina provided these malnourished children with an array of bioactive and nutritious substances which improved mineral absorption, and hence, resulted in better general health and normal immune system. In Ukraine, spirulina is used medically as a natural anti-radiation among the children of Chernobyl who are suffering radiation-related illnesses
.
If you are on doctor-prescribed medication or exposed to environmental pollution, the green super foods may be even more essential to your health. For example, spirulina appears to contain specific detoxification factors. Heavy metals and pharmaceutical drugs are toxic to the kidney. In one experimental study, the effect of spirulina on acute kidney disease caused by inorganic mercury and pharmaceutical drugs was examined. Although a high mercury dosage caused kidney toxicity (measured by rising blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and specific urinary enzymes), a 30% spirulina diet significantly reduced these indicators, showing kidney detoxification. Spirulina also mediated the effects of highly toxic drugs used by humans including the chemotherapeutic agent Cisplatin. “The study suggests spirulina may have a beneficial effect for humans suffering from heavy metal poisoning and that kidney side effects may decrease when spirulina is taken with the administration of drugs. Side effects limit the dosage of drugs and slow down recovery, so shorter recovery times may be possible.”[x]
No wonder why this gentle health formula caught on so quickly. With this kind of scientific basis, Jim had create monster, and soon people finding it was helping support the health of children,, what health they had, even if they were fighting other issues. But most of all it was helping kids to stay healthy and this was especially critical to those on the borderline who were not yet unhealthy or on medication. How do we keep these kids healthy? PCA could gently support their body’s own urge to detoxify and to be healthy.
We began interviewing many of the people who used PCA. Lisa Weber, Sean Weber’s mom, sent an email note. “Enclosed are copies of our son Sean’s urine reports along with what agents he received during the test periods. We observed the highest levels of toxic mineral output (aluminum, arsenic, nickle, etc.) when he was given PCA and ionic minerals. Also note the output of nutritional minerals (calcium, etc.) declined with chelation by PCA versus DMSA. It’s possible the output during PCA detox came from ionic mineral supplementation during that time. With DMSA detox, nutritional mineral output must have come from body stores because supplementation was suspended then.” That was just one of many notes and letters we received from parents of kids who faced incredibly difficult health challenges. We felt so strongly about what parents were telling us that we even published a book New Hope for Autism to help people discover the formula (see offer).
What if in the modern world, the new health paradigm says that the body requires supplemental help to maintain healthy detoxification pathways? What if prevention is about detoxification? If so, that certainly would make PCA the perfect nutritional supplement. Gentle, shown to be effective at increasing urinary excretion of chemicals and heavy metals, formulated with probiotics and beneficial detoxifiers like chlorella, PCA has gathered a very large following. It is a deserved following.
If there are parents who are seeking to keep their children healthy—and I certainly know there are—diet is paramount. Healthy organic fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, seaweed snacks, and traditionally prepared probiotic-rich foods like tofu, sauerkraut, and yogurt—these are just some of the dietary staples necessary to modern health.
There is also the ever-present influence of over 70,000 known chemicals, food additives and neural toxins in our environment. These toxins are slowly eroding neural receptors, our cognitive capacity, the ability to cope and our neurological response time. Our brain functions on millions of electrical impulse circuits, while most of the predominant heavy metals are nonconductive in nature. As the brain naturally strives for balance or homeostasis, it can develop false cravings, excessive eating disorders, alcohol and drug dependencies, and neurological disorders characterized by autism, violence, impair IQ and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders.
The treatment of brain chemistry imbalances with the use of prescription drugs is only masking the underlying condition. The designed action of the drug is to block receptor sensitivity or neutralize the excessive natural chemicals without addressing the original creation of the condition. Over time, as the underlying condition worsens and we go to stronger and stronger masking agents, we eventually have to deal with our imbalanced nature through the physical manifestation of disease.
As research is probing the hidden depths of neural chemistry and its effect on the nature and behavior of humans, many are turning away from pharmaceuticals and looking for a more natural, effective means of balancing their brain chemistry.
Nutraceuticals, dietary changes and herbal supplements are a great place to support healthy detoxification and well-being, to help to create a new body-based or somatic perception of life and a new world of optimal health.
Without knowing it, people go through life involuntarily collecting a variety of toxins, metals, and other contaminants in their bodies. Everyday circumstances like the air we breathe, the food we eat, disease vaccinations, prescription drugs, and even the place each of us calls home all contribute to the degree of toxic exposure we can experience and eventually suffer from. Some of the harmful contaminants that can silently accumulate in the body include heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and aluminum), toxic chemicals, inoculation residues, plaque, pesticide remnants, and many others—all of which can play a role in psychological disorders.
Jim Cole’s empathy for the community and desire to help led to creation of PCA and other probiotic-based formulas to gently support children’s health. This is why in various communities dedicated to children who face difficult challenges, PCA is so widely used and promoted. It has helped. We know this from our own research.
As Jim says, “No more chemicals. Hope this helps. Be well.”

Body Burdens
Jim Cole’s concerns two decades ago have been confirmed in the annals of science. In the May 17, 2010 online edition of Pediatrics, in an article titled, “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Urinary Metabolites of Organophosphate Pesticides,” Harvard University researchers linked urinary levels of metabolites of organophosphates and attention-deficit/hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD) in children 8 to 15 years of age. “These findings support the hypothesis that organophosphate exposure,at levels common among US children, may contribute to ADHD prevalence.Prospective studies are needed to establish whether this associationis causal.”
Maxam Nutraceutics Provides New Alternative Treatment For Alzheimer's And Heavy Metal Toxicity
Alzheimer’s patients have a natural treatment alternative with the introduction of Maxam Nutraceutics’ PCA
Apr 29, 2010 -
HOOD RIVER, OR - According to the Alzheimer’s Association, someone develops Alzheimer’s every 70 seconds. Currently, over 5 million Americans have the disease, the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's affects parts of the brain that control thinking, remembering and making decisions, and can seriously impair a person's ability to complete daily activities. Despite its epidemic status, patients have been relying on pharmaceutical drugs and chelation therapy for treatment, which can have serious side effects. Today, Alzheimer’s patients have a natural treatment alternative with the introduction of Maxam Nutraceutics’ PCA.
While controversy looms regarding Alzheimer’s cause, many believe a correlation exists with toxin accumulation. Until recently, chelation, an invasive, drug-based toxin removal therapy, has been patients’ primary option. PCA is the result of years of rigorous research and development. According to Maxam Nutraceutics President James Cole, it represents a breakthrough in toxin removal technology called Clathration Therapy. This epigenetic cell fermentation formula is comprised of helpful bacteria and other microbes that when used become a natural, living part of the body's immune system. When administered orally one to eight sprays per day under the tongue, it envelops, neutralizes and removes the harmful toxins through stool, urine, skin and breath, without ever touching vital organs or tissue.
According to Dr. Lory Jacobs of Holistic Ministries and Health Care in Nevada, her patient Muggs had been an Alzheimer's patient for 12 years. “I witnessed her mental and physical degeneration from a beautiful, alive and loving, woman, mother, wife and friend, to an unresponsive empty shell of a human”.
According to Dr. Jacobs, "For the last two years, my patient has been rapidly deteriorating. She had lost the ability to use her arms, hands, and legs. Her body could not sit up on its own. She had become listless, unaware, and slept 22 hours out of 24. At one point, she lost the ability to swallow food and water. She had become completely non-communicative and responsive. She was also suffering from seizures due to a number of different medications. The family was told to prepare for death.”
"I began using PCA with her, and within the first week, I was getting responses that led me to believe that there was hope in helping her recover. Since using PCA, she is now drinking eight glasses of water daily, and eating a healthy diet. She is now seizure free. For the first time in a while, she can sit up in her wheel chair and turn the pages of a magazine, showing real interest, reading and understanding what is within those pages. Words that were never spoken for the last three years, have now become crystal clear and very well spoken. She can spend her waking hours with quality,” says Dr. Jacobs.
“I will definitely recommend PCA to others without a doubt! PCA has given this woman a quality of life that she never would have experienced again.”
PCA helps to eliminate heavy metals, chemical toxins and harmful parasite microorganisms; reduce cardio and cerebral vascular plaque; lower elevated enzyme counts; and decrease environmental illness effects.
PCA represents the next generation of chelation technology,” explained Maxam Nutraceutics President James Cole. “We’re thrilled to provide Alzheimer’s patients a natural, toxin removal treatment that’s easy-to-use, powerful and with no known side effects.”
Additionally, according to Jesse H., who used PCA to treat his 75 year old wife who had Alzheimer’s, “Since using PCA, my wife’s demeanor has changed! She now smiles, and her eyes show some recognition. She is friendly towards her nurses and she no longer fights when they give her baths. After five years of not speaking, nor acknowledging any spoken word, she now speaks occasionally. We have had two short conversations, one of which she initiated!”
PCA is also used for Autism Spectrum Disorder, candida, cervical dystonia, chemical exposure, heart disease, hepatitis, herpes, Lyme disease, paralysis, Niemann-Pick disease and uterine fibroids.
*PCA Rx has not been evaluated by the FDA and not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.

Autism Generation Rescue
A Proven, Natural, All-Inclusive Approach to Support Your Child's Cognitive and Developmental Health
Dear Generation Rescue Visitors - If you are ready for great changes in your child, read this article. It explains a proven, all-inclusive approach using natural products that have been in use for nearly fifteen years.
The results I’ve seen from Maxam Nutraceutics’ products have been nothing short of phenomenal, especially with regards to brain health and our children's cognitive development. The testimonials are real -- I have personally seen them with my own daughter, nephew, and through recommending the products to others. Using these products is such a simple solution. Just use a 'spray'. And yet the products themselves are infinitely complex in their compositions, how they work and their amazing results.
Meet Maxam
Being a parent and an advocate, when working with anything health-related, I find it of utmost importance to ask one question: Where do you get most of your business? If the answer is not 'referrals', I look elsewhere. I have been quite happy to see that an astounding (more than 85) percent of Maxam's business is by referral, either from a medical doctor, health practitioner or friend. (By the way, I was referred by a professional who, after seeing my daughter, told us, "Call these people, order this product. It will change your life. And it did. ")
Maxam Nutraceutics Founder, James Cole
Since 2005, in using and recommending Maxam Nutraceutics, I have found that they are considerably different than other companies. The founder, Jim Cole, was successful in electrical engineering for over twenty years when, like many of us, the deaths of loved ones catapulted him into the health arena. He opened a health food store and nutrition company but when he saw diseases in his healthy customers, he began searching for answers, eventually developing the Maxam line. In addition to Maxam Nutraceutics, Mr. Cole is the President of Advanced Sports Nutrition, TurboSonic USA and a gym that has allowed him to sponsor and work with many world-class athletes. Mr. Cole's knowledge and understanding of the body, health, disease, nutrition, biochemistry and holistic health is wonderfully in-depth and never ceases to amaze me.
Maxam Nutraceutics differs from others in that they believe the human body is designed to heal and regenerate itself. As such, the products themselves are not used as a daily, lifetime supplement. Rather many clients recover their children and enjoy their new lives after using these products for a specific, limited period of time. All of their products are created to support and enhance the body's intrinsic abilities to remove toxins and maintain good health. They are free of antibiotics or other prescription drugs, artificial additives, colors and flavors, binders, chemicals, soy, gluten and other allergens.
A Proven Approach
As many parents know, using nutritional approaches to support their children's cognitive and developmental health requires addressing a myriad of health concerns. Through the years, many protocols have been developed, all of them designed to address the key areas we, as a collective community, know about our children's bodies and their challenges. Normal environmental exposure has led to a build-up of toxins. They need support to maintain a healthy microbial balance and they need support for healthy digestion and waste removal.
Environmental toxins and GI problems all have their own domino-effect, resulting in additional problems for the person affected and often despair for their caregivers. At Maxam Nutraceutics, they developed a group of products that have been able to address these key areas at the root cause, with astounding success and simplicity (you can insert your sigh of relief here). At the most basic level, it is a three-step approach: remove, revive and replenish.
Step 1: Remove
to get rid of; do away with; put an end to
Removing Toxins and Other Uninvited Guests
We know that when junk builds up in our children's bodies, it's harder for them to function at its best. As I witnessed with my daughter, not only does this affect behavior, muscle tone, our children's alertness and awareness, their energy levels and sleeping patterns. It even slows down the work of their immune system and digestive system, the systems in place to get rid of these unwanted contaminants. For some children, this means that normal accumulation of toxins collects in the cells of the blood, lymphatic fluid, and cerebral spinal fluid without being removed efficiently by their body's waste-removal systems. Undoubtedly, first on your agenda is to remove anything that shouldn't be there. At Maxam, this is done by oral clathration.
Clathration
Picture It: Toxins are attracted and locked inside each PCA microbe.
PCA is a natural, non-invasive way to support your children's natural waste-removal system. PCA simulates natural bodily fluids in a way that allows it to bind all toxins, microbes and any other unwelcomed guests. Because your body recognizes it as a bodily fluid, all bound 'guests' will flush out along with your urine, stool, breath and hair, without strain on liver and other organs, while leaving your minerals intact. No supplementation is needed because it does not remove necessary vitamins and minerals. No organs are damaged; on the contrary, the PCA will cleanse the organs.
This process is called clathration - in chemistry, a clathrate is a substance in which a molecule of one compound fills a cavity within the crystal lattice of another compound. If I just sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher, let me give you are very simplistic visual... Imagine a Trivial Pursuit game piece... the round game piece would be the actual microbe from the PCA - with Super Glue inside. The little colored triangles would be toxins. The toxins (triangles) fill the microbe (game piece) and are trapped inside, until they're eliminated from the body.
As an added bonus to the caregiver, PCA, is an easy to use spray, meaning that, ideally, you spray it into your mouth. If your child can't or won't do that, don't fret, just get it in their mouths. As for taste, it isn't sweet or bitter but it isn't water. The taste is very slight and sometimes it varies depending on if teeth were just brushed or food was eaten.
Alternatives include time missed from school, work, products, supplements and more.
Cost
The PCA averages about $49.99 per month (a bottle is $99.99 online and will last 2 months) and will require only a few bottles for younger or less exposed children. There is virtually no taste, it can be taken in five seconds, and there is no additional supplementation needed. It also doesn't interfere with sleep. In fact many of our customers report that their children sleep better after starting the PCA routine. It's simple and easy for both you and your child.
Step 2: Revive
start again; bring back to life
Equally as important as toxin removal is supporting your child's digestive system so it can maintains normal activity. You may or may not be aware of your child's intestinal health, especially as they become older and require more privacy, but digestion is paramount in the body's daily functions. Without proper digestion and therefore the assimilation of proteins, vitamins, amino acids and everything else, your child's body doesn't function optimally. As I've seen with my own daughter and plenty of parents observe with their own children, intestinal health, the ability to get the nourishment your child needs, is essential for healthy cognitive development.
Healthy Microbial Balance
Essential for healthy digestion is a healthy intestinal population of bacteria. The average person has a mix of beneficial bacteria, neutral bacteria and ones that are not so friendly. The key is to keep the balance in favor of the good guys, literally establishing a healthy culture inside of your child's digestive tract.
Candida yeast overgrowth on skin can look like a rash.
Beneficial intestinal bacteria help with digestion and even produce certain essential nutrients like vitamin B12. These bacteria also work to support the health of the immune system. And increasing evidence is showing how these bacteria affect your mood and mind as well. They may play a role in your digestive system's production of key neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin.
Your child's intestinal bacteria balance can be thrown off by diet, stress and especially antibiotic use. Antibiotics are used specifically to kill bacteria and they indiscriminately kill both the good and bad bacteria in your child's digestive tract.
Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
Here are some signs that your child may need some help in restoring a healthy bacterial count in his/her digestive tract:
Digestion
-Bad breath, receding gums
-Gas/bloating, indigestion
-Diarrhea, constipation, intestinal pain
-Sugar cravings, spaced out after eating
-Food sensitivities
Behavior
-Inappropriate behavior for situation, lack of impulse control
-Anti-social, depressed, anxious, irritable
-Insomnia, hyperactive, attention deficit
-Lethargy, fatigue
Mental
-Confused, spaced-out, blank stares, day dreaming, inability to concentrate
-Dizziness, poor concentration, mood swings, headaches
Skin
-Diaper rash, thrush, athlete's foot, jock itch or ringworm
-Genital itching, itching around the anus
-Acne, skin rashes, hives, liver spots
-Joint pain, arthritis, muscle aches and growing pains
Candida yeast grows in 'threads' that can penetrate the intestinal walls, causing 'leaky gut syndrome'.
The sooner you can help restore balance to your child's digestive tract, the more the beneficial bacteria can spread and do their work helping to nourish your child. And the sooner you'll see results in less physical discomfort, more alertness and improved behavior.
To help revive a healthy balance of bacteria to the digestive tract, Maxam Nutraceutics has developed a dynamic product combination - Probiotics-Rx and BIOGUARD. The Probiotics-Rx primarily address restoration of intestinal bacteria (the good guys), while the BIOGUARD will be working to treat GI issues and assist the probiotics in their quick proliferation throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract.
Probiotics Rx is a live product that provides both prebiotics and probiotics. The prebiotics create an ideal environment and food source for the probiotics to flourish, making it easier to establish or reestablish healthy intestinal bacteria. The Probiotics Rx has been fermented for seven years, which makes it a very strong choice to deliver a powerful influx of health. It will also assist to regulate bowel functions, improve digestion, increase nutrient absorption and even help your child's teeth stay healthier. For those who don't swallow capsules, the Probiotics Rx has a look, consistency and taste of the inside of a fig newton.
The BIOGUARD is a sublingual spray specifically designed for the gastrointestinal tract, supporting the immune system while balancing chemistry. Much like the PCA, BIOGUARD traps contaminants to remove them. But it specializes in the intestinal tract, removing microbes through urine and stool excrements.
The PCA should also be used at low doses while going through this protocol to help keep the bloodstream clean of contaminants from the digestive tract, as well as flushing out any toxins released as your intestines restore a healthy microbe balance. Combining all three, your child should soon experience excellent intestinal health through microbial balance. No side effects and little-to-no stimming (repetitive movements, self-stimulation).
Cost
A good probiotic is never under $30. Using the BIOGUARD and Probiotics Rx combination should take one 'round'. Both will be less than $175.46 (there is a microbial balance kit for less online) for a one-month supply and you can do a fecal test to see what kinds of microbes are in your child's gut after one round and do a follow up, if needed.
Step 3: Replenish
to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is lacking
PCA was so effective that when an independent testing laboratory, Great Plains, saw consistent results of Maxam's clients, they featured Maxam in their newsletter. As a result, Maxam's founder, Jim Cole, began receiving calls from parents asking about PCA's effectiveness for supporting developmental and cognitive health. Responding to their requests, Jim and his research team created a product specifically designed to support cognitive and developmental health.
Nearly a decade ago, Maxam introduced AFX to parents who had been waiting in eager anticipation. Parents reported a feedback of 99% success… with parents, teachers and therapists all noticing changes in children using AFX.
AFX supports the brain, nervous system, thyroid, growth hormone and immune function. Each bottle of AFX addresses Metallothionein, Super Oxide Dismutase and pancreatic functionality, as well as contains the following - and note that these formulations are all fermented, meaning that they are broken down and ready to be absorbed by your child, not relying on their digestive system -- B1-B24 precursors, Q10 precursors, Co enzyme One, full spectrum micro-activated vitamin pack, neural peptides, pituitary and hypothalamic function stimulators, thyroid regulating peptides, immune response stimulators, ionically charged minerals, and so very much more.
In Closing...
I hope that I have provided you enough general information and covered the three steps that have proven successful for parents for nearly a decade:
-Remove (PCA)
-Revive (BIOGUARD and Probiotics Rx)
-Replenish (AFX)
As a mother who has tried many different approaches ... Maxam's products are an easy, cost-effective way to see a significant difference in your child in a short amount of time. Time is precious. You won't get it back. My one regret with my own child is that I didn't find these products sooner, as our lives, my daughter's life, would be so different now. As Maxam Nutraceutics, states, these products truly are 'the most advanced Nutraceutics in the world'.
