Abstract
Accilion is a topical mineral cream advertised by Advanced Mineral Compounds, LLC (AMC, 2). It is one of several products with different names and websites (Table I) that trace their origin to a botanist named John Wayne Kennedy (20) and his patent entitled ‘Bioavailable minerals for plant health’ (19). Three of these products are topical mineral creams while a fourth is a mineral supplement marketed to be sprayed on agricultural crops to promote disease resistance and improve growth. These products appear to have similar ingredients and similar proposed mechanisms, and nearly identical description by which they claim to distinguish themselves from other mineral compounds (Table I). A representative from AMC has told us that these products are different in important ways including ‘‘zinc/copper ratios’’ and ‘‘redox’’, that there is a legal dispute underway between the current owners, and that ‘‘efforts to have these compounds independently assessed and thoroughly verified are now routinely obstructed’’ (21). Interestingly, the same cancer-patient testimonials appear for three of these products and the same ALS-patient testimonial appears for two of them (Table I).
Accilion是一种由Advanced mineral Compounds, LLC (AMC, 2)宣传的局部矿物质霜。它是几种名称和网站不同的产品之一(表1),其起源可追溯到一位名叫John Wayne Kennedy(20)的植物学家,他的专利名为“植物健康的生物可利用矿物质”(19)。其中三种产品是外用矿物面霜,第四种是一种矿物质补充剂,用于喷洒在农作物上,以增强抗病性和促进生长。这些产品似乎具有相似的成分和相似的建议机制,并且几乎相同的描述,他们声称将自己与其他矿物质化合物区分开来(表1)。AMC的代表告诉我们,这些产品在重要方面不同,包括“锌/铜比例”和“氧化还原”,目前的所有者之间正在进行法律纠纷。而且“对这些化合物进行独立评估和彻底验证的努力现在经常受到阻碍”(21)。有趣的是,这些产品中的三种出现了相同的癌症患者推荐,其中两种出现了相同的als患者推荐(表1)。
期刊介绍:
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration is an exciting new initiative. It represents a timely expansion of the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in response to the clinical, imaging pathological and genetic overlap between ALS and frontotemporal dementia. The expanded journal provides outstanding coverage of research in a wide range of issues related to motor neuron diseases, especially ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and cognitive decline associated with frontotemporal degeneration. The journal also covers related disorders of the neuroaxis when relevant to these core conditions.
