On Thursday Jan 21, The Peter Schick Foundation received approval from the FDA to study Blue green algae in Type Two Diabetes. This is a monumental task which took 11 months to get done. It shows what hard work can do and special thanks to Martha Lewis, and Board members Arton Kabashi and Brandon Manning. All of the members of the foundation should be proud and readers of the Schick Foundation newsletter should also be proud.
For without your encouragement and donations we could not have done it. I started studying Blue green algae 2 years ago, and whether it was trips to San Clemente or trying to get the desired information from 3 companies that produce Blue green algae the work was worth it. This IND# opens up other avenues to the FDA to study the illnesses HIV, the application of whiich is already in the FDA's hands. Post operative inguinal hernia will be the next submission to the FDA. ACNE, Prostatitis, Parkinson's disease, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Post operative cardiac bypass patients will follow. If we can prove that these conditions can be improved by Blue green algae it will change the world of not only medicine, but economics, and health care accessibility also.
We have much work to do to complete our task and I hope to put a slight damper on the joy of the moment but we can't do it without the fuel that you have given before. So reach back into your pocketbook once more and give a donation, no matter how small, they all help, whether on the web site www.schickfoundation.org, or www.schickresearch.com. or If you prefer you can write a check or a money order to The Peter Schick Foundation, 1223 Wilshire Blvd. #1007, Santa Monica Ca. 90403. With you help we can change the world.

Inhibition of HIV-1 Replication by an Aqueous Extract of Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) Ayehunie, Seyoum: Belay, Amha; Buba, Timothy Wl.; and Ruprechi, Ruth M.Journal of Acquired Immune defiency syndromes and Human Retrovirology. 1-May, l998-Volume 18-Issue 1-pp 7-12.
An aqueous extract of the blue-green filamentous algae Arthrospira platensis (previously called Spirulina platensis) inhibited HIV-replication in human T-cell lines, periipheral blood mononuclear cells, and Langerhans cells. Extract concentrations ranging between .3 and 1.2 ug/ml reduced viral production by approximately 50% (50% effective concentrations (EC50) in PBMC's. The 50% inhibitory concentration of extract for PBMC growth ranged between .8 and 3.1 mg/ml. "Depending on the cell type used, therapeutic indices ranged between 200 and 6000. The extract inactivated HIV-1 infectivity directly when pre incubated with virus before addition to human t-cell lines. Fractionation of the extract revealed antiviral activity in the polysaccharide fraction and also in a fraction depleted of polysaccharides and tennins. The conclusion of the authors is that aqueous A platensis extracts contain antiretroviral activity that may be of potential clinical interest.
Many questions arise out of this extract and the jouranl article which can be gotten by contacting THE PETER SCHICK foundation by email or at 1-310-394-7989/ Why was't this study followed up by all the excellent HIV researchers. Why wasn't CDC which is supposed to tract down all possible leads into a solution to the HIV/AIDS problem more vigilant in contacting the authors of this study. This study was published by Lippincott-Raven Publishers. Why weren't the editors fo this journal cognizant of the importance of this study. Why didn't the Journal of acquired immune defiency snydromes and Human Retroviralogy, which published this article in their journal jore interest in these authors work.
The Peter Schick Foundation is studying a member of the Spirulina family, Aphazomenon Flos Acquae, bettr known as Blue green Algae or AFA. We have just last week got FDA approval with an IND# to do clinical studies of this supplement in humans. We have 1 patient, whom we call patient 0, whom has taken AFA for 6 lmonths. He is HIV+ with a previously undetectable viral load, and he has responded positively with a CD 4 increase and a CD4 & increase. The data on patient 0 was accepted for presentation and a poster to the IAPAC-AMFAR meeting in New Orleans, (yes the home of the super bowl bound Saints), The data on Patient 0 were poresented to a Scientific crowd on November 28,2009, with a very good reception and a pertinent discussion followed.
We plan to do larger scalestudies on AFA the minute we get FDA approval for the protocol we have submitted. The most postivie thing about AFA is that there is NO TOXICITY. Phamaceutical companies know that a single drug or a combination of antiretroviral therapy, will not kill the virus, Gene therapy for HIV is a long way off. But treating poatients who are HIV+ with blue green algae is close to becoming a reality. We hope to start wide scale testing of product that is made by Simplexity Health.
To help us fund these exciting, revolutionary trials you can donate to our website on line at www.schickfoundation;org or our research web site www.schickresearch.com You can also send a check or money order to the Peter Schick Foundation, 1223 Wilshire Blvd. #1007, Santa Monica California, 90403. The foundation has satisfied for some time its 501C3 status. Lets make 2010, the year that something, perhaps aphazomenon-flos Acquae or blue green algae, or (AFA)le eradicates the HIV virus.
