From Ireland - Red Marine Algae ( RMA ) Herpes and phycoplex

Whilst seaweed has been known for centuries to have a health giving usefulness, it is only recently that it has been shown by way of scientific testing and anecdotal response to have significant beneficial value as a natural alternative to combat Herpes Simplex 1 & 2 and Varicella - Zoster symptoms.

It all started when intensive studies of marine organisms, particularly seaweeds and algae, began in the 1970s to locate potential sources of pharmacologically active agents. In a search for anti-herpetic substances, studies of California Red Marine Algae RMA proved to be particularly interesting (Ehresmann et al., 1977, 1979, Hatch et al., 1979 and Richard's et al., 1978).

One study, conducted by Senior Research Fellow of the chemistry department at G. D. Searle & Co., Dr. Raphael Pappo, Ph. D., demonstrated the algae beneficial effects on people with Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2.

Several years of study suggested to Dr. Pappo that Red Marine Algae RMA assists the body's specific immune regulatory response and plays a key role in preventing the recurrence of the virus. Indeed the sulphated polysaccharides present in Red Marine Algae are suggested to inhibit a step in viral replication subsequent to viral internalisation but prior to the onset of late viral protein synthesis.

In conclusion, the research indicated that the sulfated polysaccharides act as immunomodulatory agent (assists the immune system).

With this research in mind, Dolphin Sea Vegetable Company selected a number (4) of Irish Red Marine Algae RMA species that are found in the pristine waters around the coastline of Ireland and had them blended and tested in an Independent laboratory. We called this specific blend of Red Marine Algae RMA - Phyco-PLEX. The results were outstanding!

With these results we launched Phyco-PLEX globally on the World Wide Web and have received many glowing testimonials on the product's effectiveness.

Phyco-PLEX is a 100% natural blend of four different species of Irish Red Marine Algae RMA.

Hand harvested from the pristine waters of Ireland, with total consideration for the existing environment and sustainability of these health - giving Irish seaweeds. These are then processed in our factory to protect the existing nutrients.

Phyco-PLEX has been developed over five years to testing to create a potent, useful, bio-pharmaceutical. Shown to contain existing nutraceutical values as a natural source of anti - viral properties.

"In unpublished trials conducted at an Irish University, Phyco-PLEX was able to inhibit : herpesvirus ( HSV-1 ), causing cold sores in the mouth; genital herpesvirus ( HSV-2 ); varicella - zoster virus ( VSV ), causing shingles.

The published evidence shows great promise for RMA. In particular, carbohydrates known as 'sulphated polysaccharides' are thought to activate lymphocytes, boosting antibodies and T-cell production. Research suggests that sulphated polysaccharides may be able to inhibit viral DNA and RNA, both outside and within infected cells (Proc Natl Acad Sci, 1988; 85: 6132 - 6; Science, 1988; 240: 646 - 9; Lancet, 1987; i: 1379).

So, it is reasonable to suppose using Red Marine Algae RMA could stop the occurrence and/or reduce the severity of outbreaks of herpes."

As well as sulfated polysaccharides, Red Marine Algae RMA also contains a full array of nutrients - complete protein, complex carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, fibre, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes. What's more - it is free of the potential problem seen with blue-green algae - the presence of microcystins, which are toxic to both the liver and nervous system.

As for the quality of the product, it is encouraging that Dolphin Sea Vegetable Company, N. Ireland supplies Red Marine Algae RMA to other manufacturers, and carries out pharmacological research into the benefits of Irish seaweed and algae for medical, pharmaceutical properties. This specialist knowledge may give Phyco-PLEX an edge over competitors.

I am a properly qualified allergy and nutritional therapist, who has always used kinesiology in my practice as a testing method.

I ordered Phyco-PLEX from you in October having heard that it is effective in the treatment of Herpes Simplex. At the time I was suffering my second bout of Shingles in twelve months, and thought that this might be effective against Herpes Zoster - it seemed logical.

I promised to let you know how I got on. When it arrived I tested it against Herpes Zoster using the testing method I have always used, and it tested VERY STRONG.

Three days into taking it I had no new varicella for the first time for four weeks, and by the time I had finished the pot I had no signs of the infection except some residual post herpetic nerve pain.

Following my first bout, although I had no active signs of the illness, I still tested positive for the virus, but this time the testing is showing that it has gone completely! The results speak for themselves.

I hope this information helps you establish tested uses for you wonderful supplement."

"I bought a pack of tablets / capsules and I have been taking one a day. I had to let you know how amazed I am with this product.

I have suffered with a herpes simplex problem for nearly 40 years and nothing has had any effect on it. In the first two weeks of taking the tablets I noticed a difference, because no new sores came up. During the next month I noticed that the scar tissue was fading and now it is almost completely disappeared. I am absolutely delighted!"
