TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to the formula of a pre-probiotic product that has the goal of protecting the human body from the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations. These include ionizing radiations such as gamma- or X-rays as well as non-ionizing radiations such as radio waves such as those used for mobile telecommunication comprising the fifth generation technology standard for cellular networks, also known as 5G.


PRIOR ART

To the knowledge of the inventor, there are no products whose rationale, formula and manufacturing processes lead to protection against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations by transferring radio-resistance through phenomena of biological quantum entanglement using live microorganisms primed by superluminal particles. As far as protection against radio waves is concerned, there exist patents and patent applications for devices or materials aimed at protecting the human body against electromagnetic radiation such as those emitted by electronic devices, but none uses living micro-organisms able to transfer radio-resistance, and all describe shields such as, for example, gold sands that are supposed to prevent interaction between electromagnetic radiations emitted by mobile phones and the human body (WO2008133547A1). Other inventions describe devices emitting electromagnetic fields that are supposed to interfere with harmful electromagnetic radiations, thus neutralizing their effects on the human body (CA2165811C).

The rationale to choose a carbonated mineral water with these values of natural radioactivity lays in the objective of stimulating adaptogenic responses to radioactivity in radio-resistant cyanobacteria of the formula (Arthorspira, see point 7.1.2.1) that show up-regulation of a number of genes involved with DNA repair and protection against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations once exposed to such radiations (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.229).


In addition, charged particles emitted by the isotopes of the mineral water described above have superluminal characteristics in water and are responsible for Cherenkov radiation, a phenomenon that is well documented and whose measure is actually used to determine the amount of radioactive elements in water (Analyst, July 1993, vol. 118, pp 873-876, paper 3/00519D). Cherenkov radiation in turn, causes bioluminescence and photo-activation (doi: 10.1007/s11307-011-0489-z) that translates in the induction of photosynthesis in the cyanobacteria of the formula.


The novelty of the concept lays in the continuous and simultaneous exposure to electromagnetic radiations (from natural radioactivity), and induction of photosynthesis from Cherenkov radiation that is also due to natural radioactivity. Thus, in normal condition, that is in the absence of Cherenkov radiation, cyanobacteria down-regulate the genes presiding to photosynthesis when exposed to radiations such as gamma-rays and, at the same time, up-regulate the genes that protect them from the harmful effects of radiations (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.229). In the case described here, however, induction of photosynthesis occurs concomitantly with exposure to radiations since induction of photosynthesis is a by-product of superluminal charged particles emitted by the radioisotopes of water. As explained in other paragraphs, the process of photosynthesis is based on quantum entanglement and, therefore, up-regulation of genes involved in DNA repair and resistance to radiations and induction of photosynthesis become entangled. This leads to further entanglement between the radio-resistant cyanobacteria and the other commensal probiotics of the formula that are also exposed to the radioisotopes of water but have no photosynthetic capacity; the mechanism at the basis of living bacterial entanglement following exposure to electromagnetic fields is explained in detail in Marletto et al. (https://doi.org/10.1088/2399-6528/aae224). The choice of naturally radioactive water that is also carbonated lays in the well-known concept that carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis and such a requirement is all the more significant when the source of light is represented by the continuum spectrum of Cherenkov radiation. In addition, carbonated water shows a distinctive light scattering pattern that is very different from that of non-carbonated water. The presence of dissolved gas in the water leads to smoothing of the angular dependence of scattered light intensity, and reduction of the polydispersity degree, thus optimizing the conditions for Cherenkov radiation-induced photosynthesis (Ukr. J. Phys. Opt. 2009, vol:10, No 1, pp 38-53). Such an optimization is due to the uniform distribution in water of the radioactive isotopes of Uranium and Radium as well as to the equally uniform distribution of the bubbles typical of carbonated water. The constant, uniform, Cherenkov radiation is scattered by the bubbles and therefore reaches the light harvesting antennae of the cyanobacteria from all possible angles at variance with a common source of light that would reach the antennae from a fixed angle.


In summary, the natural radioactivity in the carbonated mineral water evokes radio-protective responses as well as induction of photosynthesis in the cyanobacteria; through quantum entanglement, these transfer the radio-protective response to the other probiotic bacteria of the formula that are also exposed to the natural radioactivity but are not radio-resistant per se.


Prebiotic and Probiotic Microorganisms


Radio-Resistant Prebiotic Cyanobacteria: Arthrospira


Arthrospira belongs to oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that comprises the groups Cyanobacteria and Prochloralesis. It is a filamentous bacterium that floats freely and shows tendency to aggregate; it grows preferentially in water of alkaline lakes and in regions with strong irradiation from the sun and relatively high temperature. This cyanobacterium is not pathogenic for humans and has been used as food since 16th century, because it has high-protein content and it is easy digestible. It is considered a prebiotic since it favors the growth of known probiotic microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria like Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (doi: 10.15406/jmen.2017.04.00120). All these probiotics are co-cultured with Arthrospira in the naturally radioactive carbonated mineral water as explained in the following paragraphs.


As a food or a food supplement, Arthrospira has gained increasing interest both for the general public and, more specifically, for astronauts who may be exposed to electromagnetic radiations (doi: 10.1093/ecam/nen058). In specific regard to protection against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations, its strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties show potential application in human radiation protection (doi: 10.1006/bbrc.2001.5195).


As a matter of fact, Arthrospira is resistant to the killing effects of electromagnetic radiations and it survives exposure to gamma-rays up to 6,400 Gy with a dose rate of 527 Gy h−1 (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.229). For reference, the median human lethal radiation dose computed from data on occupants of reinforced concrete structures in Nagasaki, Japan, is around 3 Gy (doi: 10.1097/00004032-199211000-00003). Resistance to radiations is due to a number of factors that include the presence of high level of anti-oxidants and, more importantly, induction and up-regulation of genes involved in DNA repair. Among these, of particular importance in the context of this invention are the genes of the uvr family that are involved in repair of single strand breaks (SSBs) of DNA. We chose to focus on this type of genes because DNA SSBs are the most typical DNA lesions observed after exposure to electromagnetic radiations such as those of mobile telecommunication (http://www.ijehse.com/content/12/1/15), and it is postulated that the risks for human health due to exposure to such radiations derive from this type of genotoxic effects. To this point, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), after having evaluated the available scientific data, has classified these electromagnetic fields as being “possibly carcinogenic” to human (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK390731/). Although no studies are available on the direct effects of 5G on human cancer onset and progression, a recent peer-reviewed article analyzed 94 relevant publications performing in vivo or in vitro research on this topic (high-frequency-powered base stations and other devices using 6-100 GHz, millimeter waves). According to this meta-analysis 80% of the in vivo studies showed biological responses to exposure, while 58% of the in vitro studies demonstrated effects. All the responses showed effects on all biological endpoints analyzed (doi:10.3390/ijerph16183406). In addition, a study published in May 2020 in the peer-reviewed journal “Toxicology Letters” by Authors from the Georgia Institute of Technology of the United States, McGill University of Canada, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of the United States, University of Crete of Greece, and Sechenov University of Moscow, Russia, clearly states “This article also presents evidence that the nascent 5G mobile networking technology will affect not only the skin and eyes, as commonly believed, but will have adverse systemic effects as well” (doi: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2020.01.020).


Rationale for the Use of Arthorspira

    • Electromagnetic radiations used for mobile telecommunication and, in particular, high frequency fields used for 5G, affect biological responses and are classified as possibly carcinogenic for humans (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK390731/).
    • The most common types of DNA damage due to these radiations are SSBs (http://www.ijehse.com/content/12/1/15).
    • This damage is repaired by proteins encoded by uvr genes (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.229).
    • Arthrospira up-regulates expression of uvr genes upon exposure to radiations (doi: 10.1002/mbo3.229).
    • Arthrospira is known to protect against radiation sickness (Vopr Pitan. 1999;68(1):17-19)
    • Arthrospira protects against the damage inflicted by electromagnetic radiations through DNA repair (uvr gene up-regulation) (DOI: 10.1016/0378-4274(89)90171-9).
    • Naturally radioactive carbonated mineral induces up-regulation of radiation protection genes in Arthrospira and Cherenkov radiation induced photosynthesis (doi: 10.1007/s11307-011-0489-z).
    • Photosynthesis is based on quantum entanglement (doi: 10.1098/rspa.2016.0822).
    • Electromagnetic fields such as those associated with charged particles from radioisotopes as those in mineral water induce quantum entanglement between bacteria (https://doi.org/10.1088/2399-6528/aae224).
    • Quantum entanglement and transfer of resistance to radiation between living organisms occurs in water (doi: 10.1177/1559325817750067).


Ergo

    • Arthrospira, a prebiotic bacterium already known to protect from radiation sickness, once exposed to (cultured in) naturally radioactive mineral water, activates mechanisms for DNA protection (uvr genes) that are known to protect against SSBs, and transfers such a protection to probiotic microorganisms co-cultured in the same medium that in turn transfer such a protection to human cells through phages (as explained in the following paragraphs).


Proprietary Blend of Probiotic Microorganisms


Probiotic microorganism are cultured together with Arthrospira in naturally radioactive carbonated mineral water. The complete culture medium is described in the following paragraphs. The probiotic microorganisms are members of the families of Streptococcaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Leuconostocaceae, Bifidobacteriaceae, and Thermaceae. The blend contains also lyophilized kefir grains that are characterized by a complex composition.


Consistent with such a biodiversity, it was recently demonstrated that a typical kefir product contains hundreds of different microbial species and this is deemed responsible for the known health-supporting properties of kefirs that range from modulating the immune system to fighting carcinogenesis and allergies, from favoring wound healing to regulating cholesterol metabolism and blood pressure (doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0212045).


The proprietary probiotic blend used in this invention contains phages and plasmid DNA. The precise composition of the blend in terms of strains, plasmids and phages is assessed by a microbiome array (Axiom Microbiome Array). This is a chip covered in short DNA sequences that are specific to certain target organisms and a total of approximately 12,000 species are included. For each target organism, the software looks at the ratio of probes that successfully bound to their target (Probes Observed) to the total number that could potentially bind (Probes Expected), and uses this to calculate the Initial Score, which is proportional to the likelihood of the target existing in the tested sample. Once the software identifies the target that it deems most likely to be present in the actual sample, the probes that correspond to the chosen target are removed and the process is repeated until adding new species no longer adds explanatory power to the software's model of the composition of the sample. The products of this iterative analysis are called Iterations. Probes are considered positive when presenting signal intensity higher than 99th percentile of the random control probe intensities with a percentage of more than 20% of target-specific probes detected. In other words, a target organism is considered present in the sample when the percentage of observed probes is greater than 20% of the expected probes. The array is capable of accurately detecting members of mock microbial communities used for testing, achieving 100% accuracy in species identification; the specificity of the array yields precious information for diagnosis and surveillance of pathogens in food matrices, at the same time providing strain level detections since the array was designed to detect specific genomic regions of the sequences represented on the chip.


Table 1, shows the plasmid composition of the proprietary probiotic blend. The array provided 48 iterations, each one corresponding to an unique target. The targets are ordered in descending sequence with those showing the highest percentage of observed probes at the top of the list. Although the assay is not quantitative, it can be deduced that higher percentages correspond to higher number of copies (doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0212045). Lc: Lactococcus. Lb: Lactobacillus.


Table 2, shows the targets corresponding to Lactobacilli present in the blend. The array identified the following Lactobacillus strains: paracasei, casei, helveticus, kefiranofaciens, plantarum, gallinarum, delbrueckii, rhamnosus, salivarium, acidophilus, farraginis, and antri. The substrains are listed in Table 2.


Table 3 shows the targets corresponding to Lactococcus lactis strains and substrains present in the blend. The substrains identified by the array are listed in the Table.

Rationale for the Use of the Proprietary Probiotic Blend

    • The human microbiota is negatively affected by electromagnetic radiations of mobile telecommunication (doi: 10.1007/s12275-017-7208-7). This proprietary probiotic blend contains the highest number of live probiotic microorganisms; there are no other probiotic blends with such a high biodiversity. Such a biodiversity reproduces the complexity of the human microbiota, thus reconstituting an organ that is essential for human health (https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1753-4887.2011.00402.x).
    • The proprietary probiotic blend contains plasmids that are known to transfer biological information between bacteria (https://madridge.org/journal-of-immunology/mjim-1000123.pdf). This feature is essential for exchanging biological information pertaining to radiation protection.
    • The proprietary probiotic blend contains phages that are known to stimulate immunity, repair DNA and transfer biological information to human cells (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/714154v3). Independent of the route of administration, phages enter the bloodstream and tissues and interact with immune cells (macrophages, T-cells, Natural Killer cells, B-cells, granulocytes) (doi: 10.3390/v11010010
    • Phages show anti-inflammatory properties and inhibit excessive reactive oxygen species production (https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2017.01783). Excessive reactive oxygen species production is one of the consequences of exposure to electromagnetic radiations and it is responsible for damage to DNA, proteins and cell structures (doi: 10.3109/15368378.2011.587930; doi: 10.1155/2012/740280).
    • The proprietary probiotic blend contains naturally formed Gc protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF), a cytokine that stimulates/rebalances the immune system and in the probiotic blend is 100 fold more active than chemically-obtained GcMAF (https://thescipub.com/abstract/10.3844/ajisp.2020.8.18).
    • Optimization of macrophage function is of utmost importance in counteracting the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations used in mobile telecommunication since exposure to these electromagnetic radiations provokes macrophage dysfunction (doi: 10.1080/09553002.2018.1465610) that contributes to immune system disturbances (doi: 10.1016/j.pathophys.2009.03.004) that, in turn, contributes to adverse health effects of 5G mobile networking technology under real-life conditions (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2020.01.020).
    • Electromagnetic radiations of the type used for mobile telecommunication cause excessive formation of reactive oxygen species and leads to death (apoptosis) of human blood macrophages (doi: 10.1155/2012/740280). The simultaneous presence of phages, that inhibit excessive reactive oxygen species (https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2017.01783), and GcMAF, that stimulates human blood macrophages (doi: 10.5301/jn.5000035), prevents these harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations on macrophages that are cells whose function is essential for the immune system.
    • The simultaneous presence of phages and GcMAF leads to optimization of immune system function at the same time preventing inflammation (https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2017.01783), a threatening pathologic feature that accompanies dysregulated immune responses to mobile telecommunication electromagnetic radiations (doi: 10.1590/S1677-5538IBJU.2014.04.11).
    • Co-cultivation of Arthrospira and the proprietary probiotic blend in the same aqueous medium allows exchange of biological information through horizontal gene transfer and quantum entanglement as specifically demonstrated for protective responses to radiations (doi: 10.1177/1559325817750067).



Equisetum arvense



Equisetum arvense (field horsetail) is a perennial plant from the family of Equisetaceae. It shows a yellowish non-photosynthetic fertile stem that bears spores and is produced in early spring. In late spring and up to late autumn, the green, photosynthetic, heavily branched sterile stems are produced. The sterile stem contains the biologically active part of the plant (Equiseti herba) that is mentioned in European Pharmacopeia. Flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, phytosterols, tannins, and triterpenoids are among the most widely known phytochemical compounds of Equisetum arvense. Several scientific articles have described different biological effects of Equisetum arvense such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, blood vessel relaxant, neuro- and cardio-protective, and anti-proliferative properties (https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/3060525). The anti-cancer properties of Equisetum arvense are so well documented that a recent scientific articles published in 2020 states “[Equisetum arvense] may serve as an alternative anticancer agent for the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma with no or least side effects to the patient” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sjbs.2020.01.029). Also the anti-inflammatory properties of the plant are well documented and the mechanism of action for the anti-inflammatory effect is based on modulation of interleukins and interferon (doi: 10.1055/s-0043-123075).


The rationale for using Equisetum arvense in the present formula is based on two properties of the plant:

    • Its anti-oxidant properties that counteract oxidative stress caused by electromagnetic radiations, thus synergizing with Arthrospira and with phages of the proprietary probiotic blend resulting in inhibition of excessive reactive oxygen species formation.
    • The high content of silica that is arranged in surface fractals in the stem and leaf of Equisetum.


Silica from Equisetum arvense, i.e. from natural origin, plays a fundamental role in the formula described in this invention as it favors horizontal gene transfer between radio-resistant


Arthrospira and the bacteria of the proprietary probiotic blend. A number of studies have demonstrated that adsorption to minerals such as silica and silicated increases DNA longevity and stability in the environment. Such DNA-mineral associations can play the role of pools of genes that can be stored across time, an essential feature in a formula designed to withstand the noxious effects of electromagnetic radiations. More importantly for the transfer of biological information is the fact that DNA associated with silica is available for incorporation into organisms different from those where DNA originated through the process of horizontal gene transfer. The complex silica-DNA hold an unrecognized potential for successfully transferring genetic material across environments and timescales to distant organisms up to the point that it has been hypothesizes that this process has significantly influenced the evolution of life on Earth (doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.02217). Interestingly, Equisetum is considered a “living fossil”, since it is the only living genus of the entire subclass Equisetidae, a class that was widely represented in the late Paleozoic forests and survived the largest extinction event in the history of Earth, the Permian-Triassic extinction event.


In the context of the formula of the product, Equisetum arvense serves the purpose of reproducing the condition that are believed to be present at the beginning of the life on Earth, when nucleic acids bound to minerals such as silica and silicates, and were thus able to maintain, transfer, and propagate the primeval biological information. More precisely, silica favors exchange of information between radio-resistant Arthrospira and the bacteria of the proprietary probiotic blend. Such an optimization of the exchange of biological information mediated by silica occurs at the classical biochemical level through horizontal gene transfer as well as at the quantum level. It has been demonstrated that DNA self-assembles in network structures on silica surfaces in such a way that it can be used for quantum computation (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0749-6036(03)00021-1), and it has also been demonstrated that quantum entanglement synchronizes DNA strand breakage across relatively large distances by enzymes that recognize specific sequences. Such a quantum entanglement, that in the case of this formula is amplified by silica, explains the observed persistent effects of enzymes that interact with DNA across longer spatial separations, a phenomenon that cannot be explained in terms of classical biochemistry (doi:10.1016/j.jtbi.2015.11.018).


In addition, silica serves the purpose of absorbing phages, thereby enhancing their effectiveness in transferring the information to other bacteria as well as to human cells. It has been demonstrated that phages are active while adsorbed on the surface of silica particles and the number of active phages bound to the silica is enhanced by the presence of ionic surfaces, with greater surface charge—to a maximum—correlating with greater concentration of adsorbed phages (doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2009.11.029). In the formula described in this document, the ionic surface are represented by the phenolic acids of Equisetum and the simultaneous presence of silica and phenolic acids leads to synergism as far as phage absorption is concerned.


Explanation of the Molecular Mechanisms of Action


The molecular mechanisms explaining the functioning of the present invention are described in detail in a recent article published by the inventor after having filed the relative provisional patent application (Ruggiero M. (2020) bioRxiv. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.214676). In short, the transfers of information that are responsible for the efficacy of the present invention are based on the homologies of amino acid sequence and function of the genes belonging to the family of uvr. The UvrABC repair system catalyzes the recognition and processing of DNA lesions. A damage recognition complex composed of 2 UvrA and 2 UvrB subunits scans DNA for abnormalities. Upon binding of the UvrA2B2 complex to a putative damaged site, the DNA wraps around one UvrB monomer. DNA wrap is dependent on ATP binding by UvrB and causes local melting of the DNA helix, facilitating insertion of UvrB beta-hairpin between the DNA strands. Then UvrB probes one DNA strand for the presence of a lesion. If a lesion is found the UvrA subunits dissociate and the UvrB-DNA pre-incision complex is formed. This complex is subsequently bound by UvrC and the second UvrB is released. If no lesion is found, the DNA wraps around the other UvrB subunit that will check the other stand for damage.


The inventor discovered that proteins coded for by uvr genes of Arthospira and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis share significant homologies that are responsible for the transfer of information as described in Ruggiero M. (2020) bioRxiv. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.214676. The similarities and homologies explain the transfer of information between Arthrospira and one of the constituents of the proprietary probiotic blend. The following original observations by the inventor explain the transfer of information to human cells through the intermediary that is constituted by Lactococcus phage ul36.


The complete genomic sequence of the Lactococcus lactis phage ul36 belonging to P335 lactococcal phage species was determined and analyzed in 2002 (doi: 10.1006/viro.2002.1401). The genomic sequence of this lactococcal phage contained 36,798 base pairs with an overall G+C content of 35.8 mol %. Fifty-nine open reading frames (ORFs) of more than 40 codons were found. N-terminal sequencing of phage structural proteins as well as bioinformatic analysis led to the attribution of a function to 24 of these ORFs (41%). Among these, of particular importance in the context of this invention is the ORF designated ORF252 (Q9MC33). This protein is a viral ancestor of the human protein RAD52 that is essential for DNA repair, resistance to the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiations, genomic stability and, cancer prevention (doi: 10.15406/jnsk.2020.10.00416). Purified ORF252 binds single-stranded DNA preferentially over double-stranded DNA and promotes the renaturation of long complementary single-stranded DNAs in the context of DNA repair. Interestingly, ORF252 is able to self-assemble even in the absence of DNA with the formation of toroidal structures (doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2008.06.071). This feature of ORF252 is interesting in the context of this invention, with particular reference to DNA repair, in particular, if it is compared to the self-assembly of a major protein contributing to human genome stability, the tumor suppressor protein p53, “the guardian of the—human—genome” (doi: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2017.03.013). It was demonstrated that four p53 molecules need DNA to self-assemble on two half-sites of the polynucleotide to form a tetramer that consists of a dimer of dimers whose stabilization is assured by protein-protein and DNA base-stacking interactions (Mol Cell. 2006 Jun 23;22(6):741-53). It appears that the ability of ORF252 to protect genome stability is more “primordial” as the information for self-assembly is all contained in the protein structure without the need for interactions with damaged DNA. This feature provides ORF252 with the advantage of being less restricted in its ability to repair DNA and guarantee genome stability. Self-assembly of ORF252 in toroidal structures raises the interesting possibility of non-chemical signaling between the protein and DNA, possibly through biological quantum entanglement between the electron clouds of toroids of DNA and the electron clouds on the surface of toroidal ORF252 (for reference on biological quantum entanglement between electron clouds of nucleic acids, see: https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.4053). In the context of this invention, toroidal structures of DNA and proteins such as ORF252 become entangled because of their spatial geometry; this phenomenon is not dissimilar from the quantum entanglement at the level of the protein tubulin in neuron microtubules that is thought to be at the basis of human consciousness (doi: 10.1142/S0219635214400093). It is also consistent with the recent paper entitled “Is the Fabric of Reality Guided by a Semi-Harmonic, Toroidal Background Field?” (Symbiosis, 2018, 8; 1-15). It is interesting to notice that DNA itself is endowed with an intrinsic degree of consciousness (ISSN: 1944-6934: 4(20):7-30 (2011)) that obviously does not rely upon quantum entanglement at the level of tubulin. It is also interesting to notice that ancient viruses may have been responsible for the onset of consciousness in humans (doi: 10.1016/j.ce11.2017.12.024) and, therefore, it is plausible that the intrinsic consciousness of the DNA of viruses and humans may have become entangled at different levels. As far as the role of ORF252 in the context of DNA repair is concerned, it is worth noticing that ORF252 binds RecA and stimulates homologous recombination reactions. Not surprisingly, human RAD52, an evolutionary derivative of ORF252, was recently defined “a novel player in DNA repair in cancer and immunodeficiency” and was attributed a tumor suppressor function (doi: 10.3324/haematol.2016.155838). These functions of ORF252/RAD52 are consistent with a recent clinical observation in a case of multiple myeloma (doi: 10.3844/ajisp.2019.5.9). It is also worth noticing that RAD52 was demonstrated to suppress HIV-1 infection in a manner independent of its ability to repair DNA double strand breaks through homologous recombination (doi: 10.1080/10408398.2017.1339665). Although there are no direct evidences for a role of ORF252 protein in suppressing retroviral infections, since this activity resides in the DNA-binding and self-interaction domains of RAD52 that are homologous to ORF252, it is tempting to speculate that ORF252 of phage ul36 may also have anti-retroviral activities by binding to retroviral cDNA and suppressing integration of the infecting virus.


The inventor discovered that the proteins encoded by the uvr genes of Arthrospira and Lactococcus lactis (Ruggiero M. (2020) bioRxiv. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.214676) share significant similarities and homologies with ORF252 as well as with another protein of paramount importance in human DNA repair, the UV excision repair protein RAD23 homolog B, that is encoded by the gene RAD23B. This is a multiubiquitin chain receptor involved in modulation of proteasomal degradation. RAD23B binds to polyubiquitin chains and is capable to bind simultaneously to the 26S proteasome and to polyubiquitinated substrates and to deliver ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome. It plays a role in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of misfolded glycoproteins by association with Peptide-N-glycosidase and delivering deglycosylated proteins to the proteasome and it is involved in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) by acting as component of the Xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group C (XPC) complex. Cooperatively with Centrin-2 CETN2 stabilizes XPC and may protect XPC from proteasomal degradation. The XPC complex is the first factor bound at the sites of DNA damage and together with other core recognition factors, XPA, Replication Protein A (RPA) and the Transcription factor II Human (TFIIH) complex, is part of the pre-incision (or initial recognition) complex. The XPC complex recognizes a wide spectrum of damaged DNA characterized by distortions of the DNA helix such as single-stranded loops, mismatched bubbles or single-stranded overhangs that are lesions typically caused by exposure to electromagnetic radiations. The orientation of XPC complex binding is crucial for inducing a productive NER. XPC complex recognizes and interacts with unpaired bases on the undamaged DNA strand which is followed by recruitment of the TFIIH complex and subsequent scanning for lesions in the opposite strand in a 5′-to-3′ direction by the NER machinery. In the context of the present invention, the region of interest is between residues 237 and 409.


The regions where the homologies between the four proteins (UvrABC system protein B of Arthrospira platensis, UvrABC system protein B of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, human RAD23, and viral ORF252) are particularly evident are described in (Ruggiero M. (2020) bioRxiv. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.214676) where they are highlighted by the similarity of the amino acids, the hydrophobicity profiles, and the presence of polar residues. It is important to notice that the peculiarity of this invention resides in the very precise ratio of Lactococci and phage ul36 as evidenced in Tables 3 and 4. In the context of this invention, the high degree of similarity, hydrophobicity, and presence of polar residues that the inventor discovered in these particular regions of the four proteins is responsible for the transfer of information between bacteria, phages and human cells. This is particularly evident when comparing the human and the viral protein where the sequence of hydrophobic and polar residues shows a very significant degree of homology (for details, see Ruggiero M. (2020) bioRxiv. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.21.214676).

    • I have been taking the product, recommended by a friend, for a week now. I noticed my sleep has really improved. Normally when we go to our Beach House up North, I have this amazing deep sleep. I have noticed the same amazing quality sleep, since taking the product. So happy I found this.
    • I just started on the product and feel much better, It is the same feeling I get when being in the Mountains to our Cabin during holidays. Feeling calm and relaxed, clear headed and energized. We really don't know how the city living affects us. It's a worry, so happy I found this product.
    • I am an insomniac, like to watch movies on my ipad and then can't sleep. I can't be bothered with the blue blocker glasses really. Since taking the product, I don't have a problem going to sleep and sleeping through the night deeply. I wake up refreshed and ready to go. Thanks.
    • I recently had a CT spect scan for my back injury, and was worried about all the radiation. I feel I have found something that will counter this and repair any radiation damage. I am taking the product to protect me against those effects.
    • My city has heavy radiations. I worry a lot. This products makes me feel better. Thank you doctor.
    • I have researched EMF sensitivity for years, and I understand EMF poisoning well. This product assisted me greatly with my own sensitivity. I have long suffered from severe migraines, which virtually disappeared when I took the product. The migraines came back as soon as I ran out of capsules, which prompted me to quickly obtain some more.
    • Once I started taking the capsules I noticed much better sleep. I was more refreshed and less irritable because my sleep had improved. As a younger woman, I also noticed my skin appearance improve, with fewer spots and blemishes.
    • Improvements noticed were: More rejuvenating sleep; possibly more dreaming, and/or more vivid dreams; increase in health of GI Tract, with bowel evacuations being 2-3 times per day, with well-formed but soft stools; feeling a bit less stressed each day, with it being easier to maintain a slower respiration rate when doing focused, relaxing breathing; less brain fog and small increase in mental clarity.
    • I usually have poor sleeping habits, but I had deeper sleeps with better recovery while using the product. I used to get no REM sleep, but once I started on the capsules I had regular REM sleep within a few days.
    • I never used to worry about electromagnetic radiation, but once I tried the product, I could see the improvements. I felt better, slept better, and was more positive in my outlook. My cell phone never leaves my side, so it feels good to know I am benefitting from the radiation resistant properties of the product.


Objective Measures


Objective measures reported by subjects using the product described above support the hypothesis that the molecular mechanism of action described in this document is at work under real-life conditions. These subjects, who, just like the subjects of the testimonials quoted above, were exposed to common environmental electromagnetic fields (house appliances, wiring, wireless communication devices), observed significant increase of heart rate variability (HRV) associated with regular consumption of the product. Such an increase was particularly evident during sleep. Considering that electromagnetic fields such as those of wireless communication affect HRV (https://doi.org/10.3844/ajisp.2021.14.24), and considering that high HRV is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality and improved psychological well-being and quality of life (https://doi.org/10.3844/ajisp.2021.14.24), these observation seem to indicate a protective effect against the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields. FIG. 1, shows the increase in sleep specific HRV in a subject assuming the product for three weeks. The subject was a female, age 29, height 162 cm, weight 65 kg who lives in a suburban city environment with medium density housing, has 2 mobile phones in the bedroom, and a wife router close by. HRV was measured by an Apple watch with Bluetooth functionality enabled. This example is representative of several other that gave qualitatively superimposable results.
