KAQUN HUNGÁRIA Ltd. (2144 Kerepes, Szabadság út 102), as Client has contracted the National Institute of Chemical Safety/NICS) (1096 Budapest, Nagyvárad tér 2.) as contractor in contract no. GOKBI-90/2011 to test the immune effects of d-Lenolate^® in healthy volunteers at the Department of Cytogenetics and Immunology of NICS. d-Lenolate (Olive Leaf Extract) is a dietary supplement patented by East Park^TM Research, Inc. d-Lenolate formulation is prepared on a patented extraction process of selected olive leaves that contain Oleuropein. Each capsule contains 500 mg olive leaf (Olea Europaea) extract. In our study we examined the effect of 21 days of d-Lenolate^® treatment on the immune parameters of healthy volunteers. The end points measured were: qualitative and quantitative blood counts, the ratio of lymphocyte populations, lymphocyte activation and the oxidative burst of neutrophil granulocytes. The measurements were carried out on the first day before the start of the treatment (0 point) and on the 8^th, 15^th and 21^st days.

Dr. Iván Szalkai: Functional waters – the Kaqun water

Dr. Iván Szalkai:
Functional waters – the Kaqun water

Nowadays we hear with increasing frequency about therapeutic products, or agents claimed to be special, „miraculous”. These wonderworking agents often fail in scientific verification tests, however the explanation of their effect can often be found in areas with which we doctors are less familiar. For a long time this was the case with oxygen water. One of the reasons for the lack of explanation was the mechanism of producing oxygen water, as it is possible to find water, which was simply charged with oxygen – with a technology similar to soda water, where CO₂ gas is absorbed by the water. There is also the water treated with ozone; but characteristically, in this case when the pressure decreases oxygen will soon be discharged from the water therefore it is impossible to detect its effect.

However, methods have been developed recently which change the structure of the water and thus it became possible to increase the oxygen content of the water for long periods.

But what really is water? We know it, we drink it, and it flows from the tap and is slowly becoming one of the most valuable assets. We are used to water being here for us; there is no life without it, and it is a significant component of the biologic structures. We know that its structure is H₂O. We know that it freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees, and one of its specificities is that it is denser in 4 degrees than at 0 degrees, (did we ever wonder why?).
