Mirko Beljanski Becomes Involved in the Anti-Viral Fight

In 1971, a very important microbiological discovery about viruses was described by an American biochemist in the United States. Howard Temin, Ph.D., gave an account of an enzyme able to copy RNA into DNA. He is credited for discovering reverse transcriptase in viruses.
I described reverse transcription in chapter 5 and its importance to the HIV-infected community. However, it is from Dr. Temin’s discovery that the new medical biochemical terms “reverse transcriptase” and “retrovirus” originate.

In 1972, Dr. Beljanski published another near-duplicative series of results about a bacterium rather than a virus which exhibits RNA to DNA conversion. It was an equally dramatic finding. Dr. Beljanski wrote the following new piece of information in his published article: “
In vitro
synthesis of DNA [took place] on an RNA template through an
E. coli
transcriptase.”
He had not yet named this type of transcriptase “reverse transcriptase,” but the facts are there. The following year Beljanski published two more papers on reverse transcriptase beginning with the words: “Separation from reverse transcriptase . . .”

Today, it is widely known that reverse transcriptase enzymes can be found in innumerable living organisms including plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, parasites, and so forth. But at the time of Temin’s discovery, it was shockingly new. So new, in fact, that, even in the U.S., it took almost a year before Dr. Temin’s American microbiological
colleagues accepted their own colleague’s findings. The professional jealousy was even worse for our French microbiologist. Despite early denials by those same semi-envious colleagues, in 1975 Howard Temin, Ph.D., and his biochemist coworker, David Baltimore, Ph.D., were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this discovery of viral reverse transcriptase.

HIV is a retrovirus, that is to say a virus which reverses itself by having RNA transfer its genetic codes into DNA, not vice-versa. It is the actual reversed HIV-RNA microbial particle which is the infectious agent that brings on the pathological signs, symptoms, and complications of AIDS.

Biochemical scientists now know and accept as truth that viral RNA must be transcribed into DNA by reverse transcriptase in order to survive and multiply in the cell. Dr. Beljanski first observed and reported on this particular trait of certain mechanisms in bacteria. Once it was discovered that the same thing can happen in viruses, Beljanski then described the method by which his botanical discoveries worked against viral reproduction. By attaching itself to viral RNA, the alkaloid of Pao pereira blocks transcription of viral reverse transcriptase and provides the herb’s effect against HIV itself. Pao pereira also blocks replication of viral DNA to regular DNA by attaching itself to the enzyme that tells the DNA to replicate: polymerase DNA. Thus, most viruses (not only HIV) are inhibited by the Pao bark extract without any toxic side effects for the infected individual. The botanical alkaloid of Pao pereira stops symptomatic actions of an RNA disease particle. (Who says the common cold can’t be cured?)

These findings showing up in laboratory cultures gave Mirko Beljanski the idea to attempt to use the antiviral power of Pao pereira in plants to benefit the agricultural industry. He first chose to treat tobacco plants which are often attacked by an RNA virus called “Tobacco mosaic virus.” He cured the tobacco plants of viral disease.

Then some weeks later a human Phase I pilot study was carried out to evaluate tolerance and feasibility of a twelve-month treatment in a homogeneous group of ten AIDS-related Complex (ARC) patients. This investigation was developed during the period 1990 to 1993 in the French hospital, Laperonie (a facility for people at short-term risk of full blown AIDS), and the results showed that while no drug resistance was developed, there was a tendency toward normality of all the indicators of HIV by 50 percent.

The clinical study’s investigators concluded that the Pao pereira extract in capsule form (code-marked PB-100 at the time, as mentioned to me by Gerard Weidlich) could be considered as a promising new drug for the effective treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Several veterinarians used the Pao extract on animals, mainly cats, which were either infected with the feline’s FIV virus or with the leucosis retrovirus. It seems that the Pao extract has a very large range of possibilities against many viruses, but this work has not been sufficiently developed. It will require more animal experimenters to investigate treatment possibilities of Beljanski’s products in veterinarian medicine. Indeed, because the anecdotal evidence as well as preliminary studies are so promising, Dr. Mirko Beljanski’s work is ripe ground for a thorough U.S. Government financial investment in its search for a cure of AIDS and any associated retroviruses.

AIDS specialists, alerted to a possible new therapy, have an explanation here of why within a few days of using Pao pereira extract, Gerard Weidlich’s herpes infection left him, followed by the disappearance of blood-circulating HIV.

Mirko Beljanski eventually expanded his studies using the alkaloid from Pao pereira to the flu virus, plant viruses, and to the erythroblastosis virus. (Erythroblastosis is the presence of overabundant numbers of red blood cells, a condition observed in deadly anemia—known as pernicious anemia—in relapse. A virus is the underlying source of such pathology.) Potentially Beljanski held the keys for cure of these various
diseases. But he did not continue with his investigations in these areas and failed to publish his results because he met with too much pharmaceutical industry opposition and all sorts of other difficulties.

Resistance arose, in part, from those promoters of conventional therapies for HIV/AIDS. The opposition came notably from those whose interest it was to promote AZT, which had just then appeared on the market, though this antiviral quickly came into question because of its irreversible side effects. As I mentioned previously, AZT was then taken off the market and replaced with anti-HIV proteases, a class of drugs which attempts to inhibit the infectious particles of HIV from maturing. These new drugs are quite popular and broadly prescribed.

Many AIDS therapists have supposed that by varying and combining several anti-HIV synthetic drugs in the form of therapeutic cocktails, the various targets of the viral proteins would be neutralized. Sometimes this combination of drug cocktails does produce some benefit for the AIDS patient, but more often such a series of cocktails merely augments the toxic effects of each of these drugs. Despite their many complicating side effects, anti-proteases are still a marked advancement over AZT. And to this day, no biological scientist has yet shown that the protease-inhibiting constituents are unusable in conjunction with Beljanski’s herbal find, Pao pereira.

There is one more piece of information to know about HIV infection. Since a copy of the virus’ blueprint is integrated into the invaded cell’s genome, the virus can be reintroduced into the bloodstream at any time, and it is a good idea to take the Pao pereira extract continuously as a safeguard against such a potential occurrence.

All this is made possible by low to no toxicity of Pao pereira in the human system. The Amazonian rain-forest botanical is devoid of side effects as evidenced by the several thousands of patients who have taken it daily for up to twenty-five years without any apparent side effects.

Moreover, as I mentioned earlier, the Pao extract is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, and hence it can attack viruses present in the nervous system.

The Pao extract may also fight viruses that reside in various cells, tissues, organs, and other body parts as in the thymus or lymph cells, the mucous producing cells of the pancreas, and others.

Case History of Semi-Successful AIDS Treatment

There are many instances of people infected with HIV-1 having been helped with Dr. Beljanski’s products. I possess a Parisian policedepartment report of a situation in which an unmarried woman infected with HIV was severely addicted to street drugs. To support her need to purchase and use expensive illegal chemical substances, she performed acts of prostitution and engaged in other criminal behavior. All of her actions were performed as a means of making money. She had been arrested many times, but was let go each time without facing serious charges.

The woman, whom we’ll identify by the initials MB, eventually developed full-blown AIDS but hardly responded to any conventional therapies for the condition. Doctors in the free clinics of Paris who administer different drug therapies for AIDS admitted that nothing was working for Mademoiselle MB, and anticipated that death would be coming to her soon. They made their judgments based on the woman’s CD4+ blood lymphocyte counts. CD4+ blood lymphocytes determine the ability of one’s immune system to protect the body from infections; counting the CD4+ is a fine measure of the severity of the damage done by HIV infection. A healthy person shows a CD4+ lymphocyte count of roughly 800 to 1,300 cells per microliter of blood.

A lymphocyte count below about 50 cells per microliter of blood is particularly dangerous because of opportunistic infections that can rapidly cause severe weight loss, blindness, or death. Any of these do commonly occur.

It was at her lowest point of health that MB learned of Beljanski’s products and found some way to acquire a daily supply of his Pao pereira extract. She self-administered it for fourteen months. Her count went from 130 to 550 during that period. But then this AIDS patient was arrested, tried, and sent to prison for continuance of her prostitution.

She stopped taking Beljanski’s botanicals and the gains she experienced collapsed. In jail the woman underwent a resumption of the original signs and symptoms of AIDS which had brought her to death’s door originally. By sheer good luck or something else unexplainable in her destiny, she managed to survive her one-year prison sentence and came out of jail on parole after seven months. MB, finally using her common sense, didn’t purchase more street drugs but rather used her meager finances to once again acquire a supply of the Pao pereira extract. She used Beljanski’s products faithfully for thirteen months more when she was then lost to follow-up and has never been heard from again.

Golden-leafed
Ginkgo
and Autoimmune Disorders

In chapter 5, I talk about the importance of the golden-leafed
Ginkgo
extract Dr. Beljanski found to be effective in handling the unwanted side effects of radiation treatment.

One of the less clinically studied aspects of the
Ginkgo
extract, but promising nonetheless, is its apparent ability to help those who have developed autoimmune disorders. Thanks to those observations over the years that numerous doctors shared with the Beljanski team, it is possible to confirm that for a large number of autoimmune disorders, the
Ginkgo biloba
extract, alone or in conjunction with RNA fragments (for immunity) or with the Pao pereira extract if a virus is indicated or even suspected, quite often allow for a considerable improvement in one’s general condition.

Let’s not forget that all of Beljanski’s products are devoid of any toxic effects, are perfectly compatible with conventional treatments, and are compatible with each other in terms of supporting the immune system (often called into question with auto-immune disorders). They fight cancer cells and viruses and bring different proteins back to normal values. And in the brilliant researcher’s mind, there was no doubt that, by normalizing nucleases with the botanicals, it became possible to deprive non-conforming primers of abnormal cells, cancerous, viral, or otherwise, and thus cause the cell to die for it would no longer be able to replicate.

It is only with a multi-pronged approach that a lasting improvement, even a cure, for these incapacitating diseases may be obtained. All the discoveries perfected by Mirko Beljanski, Ph.D., are mutually and synergistically beneficial as nutritional support for patients suffering from viral illnesses or various degenerative pathologies. The combination of all four major supplements Beljanski developed has proven themselves able to kill cancer cells or viral pathogens and normalize proteins. By doing this, physiological conditions for the patient are brought back to normal levels.

Used for various illnesses, the unique
Ginkgo biloba
extract proved to have regulatory functions that went far beyond what the Beljanski research team had originally hoped.

The Case of Francine Boquet

One of the most heart-warming success stories I recorded when I met with CIRIS members in 2003 was that of Madame Francine Boquet (Mme. Boquet). This homemaking wife and mother is an attractive, friendly, French matron.

With only slight embarrassment, Mme. Boquet explained her full case history to me in halting English. In 1984 at age thirty-three, Francine Boquet contracted the life-threatening HIV-1 virus that turned into fullblown AIDS. She was the unfortunate recipient of contaminated blood she received during numerous transfusions while confined to bed in a Parisian hospital. This situation occurred after she hemorrhaged following surgery for a hysterectomy. At least some of this blood obtained
from the French National Blood Bank was contaminated with the HIV virus and these viruses invaded her tissues.

Madame Francine Boquet’s Interview

“Yes, yes, yes! I give permission for you to publish my story and print my photograph,” stated Francine Boquet emphatically when I asked her if I could.

“You see, I suffered a severe hemorrhage in 1984 from undergoing a total hysterectomy and sixty-nine bags of blood given to me during that time were needed to save my life.
