I listened to part of this guy on the Lee Kline show on KFI in Los Angeles. Is he a quack? Does anyone know?

....doctors Puleo and Horowitz share their insights on love and spirituality. They insist that plant extracts resonate similarly through an energy specter that may be employed, using specific electromagnetic and bioacoustic Hertz frequencies, for healing. Much of the doctors' work over the years has been in the domain of identifying specific electromagnetic frequencies of sound, color, harmonic vibrations, and invisible light to affect physical outcomes from this "more spiritual" domain or unseen dimensions. They have applied this knowledge also in the development of the Urbani SARS Formula to enhance the product's power, they claim.

This is not fringe, old boy, this is nutcase.

Haven't they heard about Campell's Chicken Noodle Soup, Dayquil and Sprite?

I just listened to this same show on the radio. Im not sure if I believe it or not. My big question was....If the cure is Holistic as he claims, then why hasnt Canada found the same cure? Canada is very big into Holistics and even offers it as part of their socialized healthcare program.

Please let me know if this is for real - I've got ACRES of those roses that are free for the taking.

Any scientific article that contains the symbol "$" isn't.

I attended a seminar given by Len Horowitz at the 1998 Healthy Living Expo in Vancouver, Canada. He is a far-left nutbar who says that AIDS is a CIA plot. He claimed that several other disease pathogens, such as the Ebola virus, were created in American biowarfare labs. He has a "public health" degree from Harvard. I'm not sure just what his scientific credentials actually are. For me, the Twilight Zone theme began playing in the background about two minutes after he began speaking. Even the New Age space cadets who made up much of the audience felt he gave off majorly bad vibes.

the argument is that it is a coronvirus, then they say it's a mycoplam like Chlamydia. Make up your mind. Chlamydia is essentially a naked bacteria killed easily by Tetracycline. Viruses are different.

Second, a lot of things have anti bacterial activity. the problem is giving something that won't kill the person. I mean, iodine will kill bacteria, but don't drink it, it will kill you. So if these plants kill the virus, you still have to figure the dosage, and figure how they kill it and check they don't kill the patient.

Third, like most herbal medicines, the dosages are uncertain. In the days of herbalism, they "brewed" formulas by timing stuff. Even then, herbal poisoning is not unknown: it is a common reason for death in Africa, especially in kids, who are overdosed...

FYI: Tetracycline, like Penicillin, is based on a mold extract.

Strep throat can be killed by penicillin, but we don't tell people: get an orange with a blue mold and eat the mold. SOme American Indians treated wounds with molds, but if you eat it it's not absorbed well from the stomach, and it would take a huge dosage to work. Indeed, Penicillin was originally given IM shots, and we gave probenicid to prevent it from being excreted from the kidney...and very expensive to make enough to treat someone. (trivia buffs can tell you that Harry Lime of the Third Man was a Penicillin smuggler).
