In this interview, the founder of Red Lion Biomedical talks about Contraccine and Panaceia’s Tincture, as well as other practices that are useful for everyone in terms of healing disease and protecting our health.

This is a very informative interview with the founder of Red Lion Biomedical, the manufacturer of Contraccine.

In this article we discuss red calcium, one of the components of Contraccine.

Red calcium, also known as algae calcium, is a special form of calcium derived from red algae, in particular the Lithothamnion Calcareum and Lithothamnion Corallioides species. This type of calcium differs from conventional types of calcium, such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate, in that it is a body-friendly calcium that is naturally abundant in more than a dozen additional trace elements. Due to the high bioavailability of calcium and other minerals pre-digested by red algae, red calcium is beneficial as an ingredient in nutritional supplements and skin care products.

The red calcium extract is not only rich in calcium, but also in other minerals such as magnesium, manganese and zinc, which provide additional benefits, contributing to overall health and vitality. However, in the manufacturing process of Contraccine, the potential of red calcium is most apparent not its material properties but rather in its special properties in the field metaphysical energy healing.

The product is extracted from living, organic material and is therefore a high energy substance with a favorable set of frequencies. Our special treatment processes allow us to further enhance the intensity of these frequencies. Several of the compounds contained in red calcium act as a so-called fluid condenser. This means that these materials have a very good energy-binding and energy-retaining quality. In our treatment processes, we make the most of this property and transform the final product into a “programmed” substance, which, together with the other components of Contraccine, has an extremely effective synergistic effect.

In this interview a medical doctor of 37 years tells the manufacturer about a middle-aged man with terminal, inoperable lung cancer who was completely healed after a few months on Contraccine. His latest blood work showed no abnormalities. In addition to Contraccine, the doctor also used a personalized homeopathic remedy and Schuessler salts, but it is known that these alone are not able to reverse stage 4 cancer.

The following case was presented to the manufacturer by a medical doctor of 37 years. A patient with very advanced autoimmune vasculitis, excruciating pain and severe diarrhea was completely healed in 4-5 months using Contraccine and homeopathic remedies, although the doctor was convinced that homeopathy alone would have been by far insufficient.

In this article, we will discuss one of the main components of Contraccine, chloroquine. Chloroquine is one of the best known compounds in the fight against malaria, but it has many other uses. We will look at the history of chloroquine, its traditional uses, how it is used to treat other diseases and its mechanism of action.

The origin and history of chloroquine

Strictly speaking, chloroquine is not a natural substance, but a synthetic compound that is now produced in laboratories. Essentially it is produced through organic chemical processes developed by the pharmaceutical industry.

The original compound from which chloroquine is derived is quinine. It is a natural substance extracted from the bark of the cinchona tree in the high mountain regions of South America. The cinchona bark was used by indigenous peoples in South America long before European colonization. The bark’s medicinal properties were introduced to Europe in the 17th century and it became a critical treatment for malaria worldwide. It has also been used to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. With advances in synthetic chemistry, researchers have developed a modified compound derived from quinine, chloroquine, which has proven to be more effective in some ways. The natural source of quinine remains the bark of the cinchona tree, which is still used on an industrial scale in the pharmaceutical industry.

The most common applications

The applications of chloroquine are not limited to malaria, but have also been extended to many other diseases, including autoimmune diseases and some other rare conditions. Here are some areas where the use of chloroquine has been successfully studied:

Autoimmune diseases

Chloroquine has long been used to treat certain chronic autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In these cases, chloroquine can reduce inflammation and autoimmune reactions. (dos Reis Neto et al., 2020) (Santos-Moreno et al., 2023)

Skin conditions

Chloroquine has also been successfully studied in the treatment of certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis and amyloidosis. Chloroquine may help reduce skin inflammation and slow down the overproduction of skin cells. (C. Y. Ung et al., 2014)

Viral infections

Chloroquine has also been trialed against various viral diseases such as HIV as well as coronaviruses. Chloroquine and its derived molecule hydroxychloroquine have been shown to fight COVID-19, among other diseases, although this is still a rather controversial and divisive topic among doctors and researchers. (Vincent et al., 2005)

Cancer

The potential use of chloroquine in oncology has also been studied, particularly its ability to inhibit tumour cell growth and survival. Chloroquine affects cell metabolism and promotes programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells. (Monma et al., 2018) (Witusik-Perkowska et al., 2023)

Metabolic syndrome

Some research suggests that chloroquine can influence the outcome of diabetes and other metabolic diseases by reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. (McGill et al., 2019)

Chronic inflammatory conditions

The effects of chloroquine have also been studied with positive results in the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as reducing inflammation can be crucial in these conditions. (Leonard B. Weinstock)

Mechanism of action

For different conditions chloroquine can work according to different mechanisms of action. In malaria, for example, chloroquine inhibits the binding of the parasite Plasmodium to haemoglobin, which prevents the parasite from growing and multiplying in red blood cells. (Wellems, 1992) The main areas of application of chloroquine are listed below, along with a description of the mechanism of action.

Reducing inflammation

In autoimmune diseases, chloroquine plays an anti-inflammatory role by reducing the communication between cells that leads to inflammatory processes. Chloroquine decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), which play a role in insulin resistance and cancer development. (Richard et al., 2020)

Autophagy modulation

Chloroquine may affect the process of autophagy, which is the breakdown and recycling of the cell’s own structures. Regulation of autophagy may be important in the function of fat cells and in the treatment of insulin resistance. The inhibitory effect of chloroquine on autophagy may contribute to the management of excess lipids and other molecules accumulated in fat cells, thereby improving insulin sensitivity. (Javaid et al., 2022)

Mitochondrial function

Chloroquine may also affect mitochondrial functions, which are central to energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The drug may be able to modulate cellular energy production and levels of oxidative stress in cells, all of which may contribute to the management of certain features of metabolic syndrome. (Javaid et al., 2022)

Lipid metabolism

Although less documented, there is some evidence that chloroquine may affect lipid metabolism, which may also be relevant in the context of metabolic syndrome. Some findings suggest that chloroquine may be able to modify the processing and storage of lipids in the liver and adipose tissues. (Seo et al., 2024)

Controversy and smear campaigns

In the case of the chloroquine molecule, it is noticeable that its potential has been severely underestimated and even forgotten in some areas of medicine and pharmacy. This may be due to the fact that chloroquine is an old compound that is no longer patentable and does not generate significant profits for pharmaceutical companies. As a result, research and development is often diverted towards new, patentable and therefore more economically attractive compounds that can be sold at higher profit margins. In addition, there have been cases where research or applications of chloroquine have been negatively portrayed as they posed a threat to more expensive therapies that had been newly introduced to the market. This phenomenon is particularly striking where the effectiveness of chloroquine in treating certain conditions is comparable or even stronger than newer, more expensive alternatives, without significant side effects. Such situations challenge key decision-makers in healthcare as much as ordinary people, as the fundamental aim ought to be to ensure that new research findings are impartially accepted and, as a result, the best possible treatment is provided for all patients.

In this article we will discuss C60, one of the main components of Contraccine. Although there are many different types of fullerene molecules, C60 is perhaps the best known and certainly the most important from a scientific point of view.

What are fullerenes?

The short answer is that fullerenes are molecules with an even number of carbon atoms (60, 72, 84, etc.). The chemical value of carbon allows it to form many allotropes (structurally different forms of the same element). Diamond and graphite are examples of well-known forms of carbon allotropes. The term fullerene refers to carbon allotropes whose molecules are composed of carbon atoms linked by single and double bonds to form a closed or partially closed network with condensed rings of 5, 6 or 7 atoms. The molecules may be hollow spheres, ellipsoids, tubes or other shapes.

The family of fullerenes is named after its most famous member, C60, also known as Buckminster’s fullerene, which in turn is named after Buckminster Fuller, the famous American designer, architect and inventor.

What is C60?

C60 is a molecule with a soccer ball shaped structure made up of 60 carbon atoms. This unique structure has opened up new horizons in nanotechnology and materials science and it also holds exciting possibilities for biology and medicine. In this article, we will explore the history and the amazing properties of C60 and showcase a particularly remarkable study in which the lifespan of mice was increased by almost 90%.

The history behind its discovery

C60 was discovered in 1985, when scientists Richard Smalley, Robert Curl and Harold Kroto stumbled upon this unique molecule during an experiment to understand the structure of carbon molecules in interstellar dust. The discovery of fullerenes revolutionized materials science, for which the three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996. The C60 molecule is named after the architect Buckminster Fuller, who was famous for his geodesic domes that resemble the molecule’s structure.

Amazing properties

C60 has unique chemical and physical properties, including extreme stability, electronic properties and the ability to neutralize a variety of compounds. These properties make C60 an ideal material for nanotechnology applications such as electronic devices, medical applications and even energy storage.

The Big Surprise: Life extension in mice

For a long time after its discovery, the physiological effects of C60 were not considered, and it was even assumed that its consumption would probably be toxic to living organisms because it was mainly regarded as an industrial substance. When researchers first started to study the toxic effects of C60 on mice, with the aim of exploring its potential adverse effects, they were completely surprised when the results not only disproved their previous assumptions of toxicity, but also highlighted an extraordinary discovery: the molecule was able to extend the lifespan of mice significantly.

The most notable research on C60 is a study published in 2012 (Baati et al., 2012), in which researchers managed to increase the lifespan of mice by almost 90% by regularly administering C60 dissolved in olive oil. Since C60 is not soluble in water, it must be dissolved in olive oil, coconut oil or some other food oil in order to be absorbed. In nutritional science it is well known that olive oil is very healthy but it wasn’t the main cause of the effects, as the study included a control group of mice given olive oil only without C60 and the increase in lifespan in that group was about 8%. Although not negligible, it is still far from 90%. This study is extremely important as it highlights the potential applications of C60 in improving human health and increasing life expectancy.

The research observed that C60 fullerene has an antioxidant activity, which protects against the damaging effects of free radicals, thus contributing significantly to improving animal health and longevity.

Super-antioxidant effect

Another study (Liao et. al., 2021) investigated the protective effect of C60 against intestinal injury from deoxynivalenol toxicity by improving antioxidant capacity in vitro and in vivo. This study demonstrated the antioxidant capabilities of C60 and showed that it significantly promoted cell viability, reduced apoptosis (programmed cell death), reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels during deoxynivalenol exposure, and improved antioxidant status in mice. The study notes that the antioxidant capacity of C60 is 125 times that of vitamin C, suggesting a mechanism via direct electron transfer between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and fullerene molecules that leads to the neutralization and degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

C60 is not only known for its very strong antioxidant effect, which allows it to effectively neutralize free radicals, but also for its unique detoxifying properties due to its molecular structure. Thanks to this unique structure, C60 is able to absorb and bind free radicals, heavy metals and other harmful toxins present in the body. Once these harmful substances are bound, C60 helps to safely eliminate them from the body, reducing toxic load and helping to maintain cellular health.

The ability to neutralize free radicals has a protective effect on cells and tissues against oxidative stress and damage caused by harmful substances. This type of detoxifying and protective effect can be particularly important in our modern environment where we are exposed to a wide range of harmful substances on a daily basis, including air pollution, toxic ingredients, chemicals and heavy metals found in food, cosmetics and even pharmaceutical products. Another significant factor is the many electrical devices around us, mobile phones, smart watches, WiFi routers, all of which emit high-frequency electromagnetic radiation and contribute to the production of free radicals in our bodies. Not to mention the recent trend of electric cars. Their motors and battery chargers produce strong electromagnetic fields of a different nature, but they are just as harmful to the human body.

Conclusion

The discovery of C60 and subsequent research has opened up new dimensions in many branches of science. From nanotechnology to medicine, the potential of C60 is vast and exciting. This life extenstion study on mice is just the tip of the iceberg, showing how this nano-scale material can be used to radically improve the quality and longevity of life for humans and even animals or pets.

Research around C60 does not stop at increasing lifespan. Many other potential applications are under investigation, including fighting cancer, fighting viruses and other pathogens and even reversing the aging process. This research is still in its infancy, but C60 has already proven to be a very versatile tool in the hands of scientists.

Ultimately, the discovery and research of C60 will open up exciting new areas for science and technology. As research continues, it will become increasingly clear what role this special molecule can play in the development of future technologies and therapies.
