Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 Electrolytically modified functional water (Kaqun) as a clinically proven adjuvant treatment in cancer patients JÁNOS HUNYADI MD DSc www.kaqun.eu SANDOR KULIN MD Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 What is KAQUN? KAQUN is a special type of high oxygencontent water, which can be used as water for therapy by drinking and/or bathing. Technology used: electrolysis – nothing is added to water Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 Kaqun Hungária Ltd. has been using electrolysisproduced, high oxygen-content water since 2001 for the purpose of improving well-being, in form of drinking and bathing therapy. Last 10 years – 10 completed licensed scientific study IMMUNOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS (DEPARTMENT OF Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 CYTOGENETICS AND IMMUNOLOGY OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL SAFETY) ● ● ● Percentage ratio of NK cells increased The expression of CD25 surface marker increased Increased reactive oxygen intermediates’ production improves activity of neutrophil granulocytes Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 The effects of KAQUN-water on patients undergoing oncological treatment. A randomized study National Instiute of Oncology Budapest, Hungary 100 patients with Melanoma Malignum stage IV Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 To study the effects of Kaqun-water on patients undergoing oncology treatment Primary endpoints: • Radiation-induced dermatitis • Drug-induced dermatitis • Fitness and state of mind • Studying changes in exulceration Secondary endpoints: • Changes in cutaneous manifestations of melanoma • Tumor response in complex oncotherapy of stage IV melanoma Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 EFFECT ON DERMATITIS CAUSED BY RT 3. days of 1st KAQUNtherapy 14. days of 1st KAQUNtherapy Last day of 3rd KAQUN-therapy Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 EFFECT ON DERMATITIS CAUSED BY RT Before KAQUN-therapy After 3 days After 7 days After 10 days (Kaqun) water on growth of human ovarian carcinoma (A2780), and human cervix carcinoma (KB-3-1) xenografts in SCID mice.

Growing of A2780 cell tumors were in a 7 days delay compared to that of KB-3-1 cells Four out of the 9 control mice died before finishing the experiment, while only 2 out of the 14 Kaqun consuming groups did so. • Seventeen days after xenotransplantation the volume of tumor was significantly smaller in Kaqun and pre-Kaqun group in the case of both types of tumors if the injected cells were 4 million. • Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 Growth of tumors after 4 X 106 A2780 tumor cell transplantation was not detected in 3 of 14 mice in the Kaqun treated groups, as opposed to control mice (n=9) where growing tumors were detected in each of them. . Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 The most significant ovarian carcinoma inhibiting effect was seen in the group of 2 X 106 A2780 cell transplanted mice, when starting Kaqun water consumption 14 days before xenotransplantation. Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 In 2 X 106 KB-3-1 tumor cell transplanted, Kaqun water consuming animals in 5 out of 14 mice, a tendency of tumor-regression was observed.

But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar… " Dr. Otto H. Warburg Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 ATP - Energy Membrane Potential Electron transport chain Redox Signaling Molecules CO2 Production Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 Membrane potential • Healthy cells: -70mV • Chronic inflammation: < -50 mV • Cancer: < -20 mV • Death: 0 mV Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 • • • • • • Low membrane potential (below -20 mV) is a prerequisite and a trigger of cell division. Even healthy cells decrease membrane potential below this threshold to perform cell division. There is no cell division above this value! Because of lack of energy, cancer cells can not increase membrane potential - so they remain in the division phase all the time The lower the membrane potential the higher the division rate! There is a strong link between membrane potential values and clinical malignancy.

As the primary source of redox signaling molecules are the mitochondria - in case of mitochondrial dysfunction, all these functions are affected o Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 ATP - Energy Membrane Potential Electron transport chain Redox Signaling Molecules CO2 Production Prezentáció címe 10/25/13 • • • • In lack of mitochondrial activity there is no CO2 production in cancer tissues. In lack of pCO2, Oxygen remains attached to Hemoglobin - inspite of the rich blood supply of the tumor, cancer tissue remains hypoxic. In lack of Oxygen, mitochondria can not be restarted. Any method that brings Oxygen into cancer cells and restarts mitochondria is curative to cancer.
