INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH
ON METABOLIC DISEASES AND CANCER
THE OBJECTIVES AND INTERNATIONAL STATUTES
The lntemational Institute for Research 011 Metabolic /)iseases and Cancer was founded in Lisbon by Dr. Serge Jurasunas the actual chairman. During a visit of Dr. Clark in Lisbon both decided to give a wider dimension to the Insti~ute by planing a seminar in Florida where headquarters were to be established. The creation of the Institute and the seminar was also possible in view of the international support that Dr. Jurasunas received from researchers and doctors like Bradford, Rodriguez, Oswald, Bock and others who became members.
CANCER is not a disease but a self destrnction of the entire system whose mechanism exists in everyone of us.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing regarding Dr. Gregory E. Caplinger. He was a student / graduate of our institution from 1979 - 1982 with completion of the Doctor of Medicine (MD}. He did further studies coordinated here in the UK and by ourselves and Sussex College of Technology leading to a specialization certificate in Internal Medicine with subspecialties in the areas of oncology and Immunology.
While a student, Dr. Caplinger was at the top of his class and he demonstrated clinical and scientific ability that is worthy of great honors now and in the future. He was lmown by professors and students as a man of integrity and extreme brilliance - not afraid of being different.
He comes with the highest recommendation!

Dear Mr. Banner:
April 21, 1988
This letter is in response to a request made by Gregory Caplinger to send you a character reference and a report concerning the classes he took at Ball State University.
Dr. Caplinger was a graduate student at Ball !:>cate University in 1975 and 1976 majoring in Physiology. For much of the time he had a graduate assistantship in the Department of Physiology and Health Science. Most of his responsibility was that of being an assistant in the basic anatany and physiology laboratories. He appeared to enjoy working with students, related well with them and knew the needed material well. In his time here, he canpleted four quarter hour graduate courses in human embryology, biochemistry, mammalian physiology, cellular physiology, biophysics, advanced topics in chemistry, fundamentals of pathology and bioethics. He also did four hours of special studies and one hour of seminar.
As I recall, while he was a graduate student, he became heavily involved in a church ministry and felt that this was the direction he should go in life. There was not enough time to do both so he finally stopped working on his thesis.
Since that time, I have had very limited contact with Dr. Caplinger. I trust that this.infonnation will be helpful • •

Hypophysectomization of an adult Rana pipens with a variable STH :a1ntenance program produces various effeciency levels of the endocrine )7~te~ which in turn affects the metabolism of the frog. With the t~ployment of dosages of STH along with the injections of Follicle .m111ulating Hormone (FSH), Leutenizing Hormone (LH), Thyroid Stimulating ::;;mone (TSH) and Melanopore Stimulating Hormone (MSH), a hormonal e1~ilibrium is produced in varying'degrees which also aids in establishing 1 i::etabolic equilibrium. STH used concurrently with FSH, LH, TSH and MSH JU increase the overall rate of function in the hypophysectomized frog in 111 instances except after fifteen days post-operative in which a relatively )~.all dosage was employed. With an alteration of the dosage level and time 1:tervals a fairly stable metabolic equilibrium may be established. Upon ,tservation some injection intervals and dosages produced very little if •~-'J type of hormonal and consequently metabolic equilibrium. In dealing 1,itn amphibians and the B!!!!i pipens in general one must quantitate the :ttabolic equilibrium in close conjunction with the hormonal equilibrium a:J thus a maintenance program for the hypophysectomized animal may be t~tablished. The best means for establishing a quantitative set of data is
t;i take a Basic Metabolic Rate reading on the animal and from this reading ,:u also measurements of hormonal output a direct correlation can be made :ct;.-een a metabolic equilibrium and a hormonal equilibrium. Thus unless t:.ure is a fairly constant now of hormones within the endocrine system the ur1ous target organs may atrophy and become non-functional. Extremely hr 6e dosages may maintain equilibrium but the long term effect may result ln irreparable damage to the target organs affected. The results have i:.:.;rn that employment of STH alone will not affect the metabolic equilibrium. ::.~~ .:ifH in hypophysectomization is the key biological synergist.

Calcium ions have been :Implicated in the coupling of excitation to acUvati~n of many cellular processes including fertilization, secretion, ate. Unfertilized, ovulated Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs were fixed lo aea water containing gluta-raldehyde and post fixed in 0&111ium-pyroantimout1 (Spicer, et. al., J. Cell Biol. 22:697, 1968). The latter antimonate 111p binds cations generally and when used in conjunction with X-ray, · 1lcroprobe analysis (Berman, et. al., J. Ultraatr. I.es. 42:298, 1973) or with ethyleoeglycol-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) can serve to identify calcium. Dtpolita of ant:lmonate were observed on the membranes of the cortical 1r1nulea and yolk platelets and on the plasma membrane. These deposits were rarely observed on the membranes of the cortical granules and yolk tlateleta and reduced in number on the plasma membrane of eggs fixed in calc1111 free sea water containing a specific calcium chelator, EGTA. S. T. I.It, - X ray microprobe analysis (Stereoscan microscope; cmputor assisted WI solid state detector) confirmed the presence of both calcium and utlmonate at these cytoplasmic locationa.* These results suggest that ulcl11111 iooe preaent in the plasma membrane, and the membranes of the cortical granules and yolk platelets in unfertilized sea urchin eggs may t1rticlpate in the function of these organelles at fertilization.*Courtesy af Dr. E.W.

/ 1119. CATALYSIS OF AN ALLOSTERICALLY INHIBITING NUCLEOTIDE WITH A SYNTHETIC ESTROGEN AND A SUBSEQUENT ALTERATION IN OVARIAN METABOLISM Greg Caplinger.• Dept. or 1.oology, Anderson College, Anderson, Indiana. (Intr. by Marie Mayo)
The ovarian synthesis of proteins may be subject to amino acid alterations as a result of the treatment with synthetic estrogens. Wistar white adult feule rats were given intramuscular injections ot a synthetic estrogen compound known as Mestranol (1?-ethynylestradiol )-methyl ether) which was followed by the isolation of two dinstinct cell free ovarian proteins in both the experimental and the control groups. When looking at the biosynthesis of •~trogen one sees that NAD is needed in the conversion of cholesterol to 6 -pregnenolone. .Also it has been noted that NAD will allosterically inhibit LDH and thus decrease the LDH content. In the ovarian synthesis of estrogen ve found a very unique interrelationship in the metabolic scheme. First of all it was recognized that Mestranol injected in small quantities acted to catalyze the reaction involving NAD and thus an allosteric inhibition and a lower level ot LDH was measured. .Also the elevated level and catalysis of NlD resulted in the addition of amino acid residues to the two isolated ovarian proteins. With a subsequent use of a high quantity of Mestranol the NlD level was decreased, thus alleviating the allosteric inhibition of LDH. This decreased level of N.AD resulted in the deletion of amino acid residues from the two isolated ovarian proteins. From this unique metabolic scheme there has developed · the uncovering of a two way recognition mechanism. Cholesterol levels are not altered by the Mestranol alone but cholesterol recognizes the physiological estrogen in the normal negative feedback pattern and the levels ot Mestranol are recognized by NAD. In conclusion one can see how the injections of a synthetic estrogen have induced changed in the amino acid content without a subsequent change in the estrogen level. With a prolonged alteration in the amino acid content there will no doubt be an induced nucleotide alteration which will change the ovarian biosynthetic pattern.
I IO. MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSES OF ULTRASTRUCTURALLY PURE ilASAL LAMINA ISOLATED FROM MICROVESSELS, RENAL TUBULES AND RENAL GLOMERULI EJvard C. Carlson, Elias Meezan*, Klaus Brendel*, Margaret Krasovich* and l'oiiilJJelle.* Departments of Anatomy and Pharmacology, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, Arizona.
Ultrastructurally pure basal laminae (BL) were derived from various organ subfractions by treatment with 4% sodium deoxycholate, wh~c_h solubilized cell umbranes and intracellular components. Since BL glycoproteins and collagens are insoluble in this reagent, the laminae remain intact and are ultrastructurally indistinguishable from their in vivo counterparts. Isolated BL are composed of fine fibrillar and flocculent amorphous materials. Striated collagen or elastic fibrils are infrequently observed. Retinal vessel BL averaged 300-500i in width, while similar materials from brain microvessels vary from 200-5ooi. Vessel diameter is unrelated to the width of its BL, but ultrastructural impurities are more common when larger vessels are used as a source. Renal tubule BL averaged 1200-2000i in width and appear as folded homo~eneous sheets. ·a1omerular BL are similar, but somewhat thicker (1500-2500X). BL exposed to collagenase (1% for 40 minutes) show uncharacteristic, indistinct surfaces and numerous fine fibrils in the adjacent space. Similar results are seen following trypsin treatment, and when this __ enzyme is employed for 24 hours there is a complete loss of BL integrity. Amino acid analyses indicate increasing hydroxylation of lysine or proline in vessel, tubular and blomerular BL respectively. Carbohydrate analyses show hexose concentrations vary slightly in different types of BL but that all glycosylated to a lesser extent than that reported for bovine lens capsule (Spiro, 1 69).

STH MAINTENANCE IN HYPOPHYSECTOMIZED RANA PIPENS WITH A SYNERGISTIC fFFECT
By Gregory E. Caplinger
Hypophysectomization of an adult Rana pipens with a variable STH maintenance program produces various effeciency levels of the endocrine system which in turn affects the metabolism of the frog. With the employment of dosages of STH along with the injections of FSH, LH, TSH and MSH a hormonal equilibrium is produced in varying degroes which also aids in establishing a metabolic equilibrium. STH used concurrently with FSH, LH, TSH and MSH did increase the overall rate of function in the hynophysectomized frog in all instances except after fifteen days postopcralivf in a relatively small dosage. Altering the dosage levels and the time intervals a fairly stable metabolic equilibrium may be established. The various Josages and time intervals used produced data that gave observations that at certain dasages and certain time intervals post-operative, the use of STH and other concurrent hormones had little if any affect on a metabolic equilibrium. fhus unless there is a fairly constant flow of hormones within the endocrine system the various target organs may atrophy and become non-functional. Extremely large dosa:es may maintain equilibrium but the long term effect may result in irreparable damage to the target organs affected. The results have shown that hypophysectomized Rana pipens endocrine glands are much like that of mammals in that employment of STH alone will not affect the metabolic equilibrium. STII used concurrently with TSH, LH, FSH and MSH may establish an equilibrium. rhus STH in hypophysectomization is the key biological synergist.

HORMOllAL COMTROL or Snttll!SIS or RIBOWCLIIC ACID COMTAINING POLYADIIIYLIC ACID IN BAR.LEY ALIURONI LAYERS
Ribonucleic acid with a covalently attached polyadenylic acid segment (poly A-lUlA) has been found in barley aleurone cells. Poly A-RNA can be separated from non-poly A-IUIA by ~iltration through a Whatman GP/C filter with immobilized polyuridylic acid. Poly A-IUIA is polydispersed in size and poly A segment, which contains more than 901 AMP, ia l~cated adjacent to the 3'-01 end of the molecule. Employing short term label with radioactive adenosine, we observed that gibberellic acid (GA3) enhanced the synthesis of poly A-RNA after.a lag period of 3-4 hours.· The enhancement reached a maximum (50-601 over control) at 10-12 hours after GA3 addition and decreased afterwards. Abscisic acid at 5 !!tl reversed the GA3 effect on p~ly ARllA synthesis. The implication of increased poly A-IUIA synthesis for the hormonal control of enzyme formation in barley aleurone cells will be discussed.

HIV/AIDS: AUGMENTATIVE THERAPY UTILIZING AN IMMUNOLOGICAL APPROACH
Caplinger, Gregory E.
ABSTRACT
Since the discovery of HIV/AIDS many researchers have been looking for a cure that deals directly with the virus. However, Caplinger et al. believes that the more positive results are in the discovery of a treatment/medicine that augments immunological function.
Therefore, the following article will discuss and review the results of an augmentative therapy utilizing a vaccine (ImmuStimO) and a concurrent immunologically stimulative parenteral protocol.
Further, the subsequent results in most if not all patients at least revealed an increase/improvement in the quality of life. This is not to sta~., that ImmuStimO is a cure but only an augmentative therapy to prolong and/or improve the quality of life.
INTRODUCTION
The major emphasis in HIV/AIDS therapy has been to treyt the virus with ant iretroviral agents and supportive therapy. However, scientifically most medical treatments that function to destroy (directly) the causal agent generally fall short due to: ( 1) toxicity - adverse effects due to drug strength and target, (2) lack of ability to maintain the causal agent due to rapid proliferation of the agent beyond the efficacy of the drug, and (3) inability of 'he drug to recognize and attack a mutant form of the causal agent.
One slightly overlooked or underestimated possibility is that of manipulation of the T lymphocytes by various drug agents and concurrent act ion ( s) by other drugs or combinations of such. Therefore, the protocol of Caplinger et al. consists of: vaccine which contains interleukin-2 (IL2), antioxidants, enzymes with effects on macrophagic activity, and agents to stimulate cell mediated immunity, humeral immunity, and general immune response. 1 •3•4 ·
The effect of stimulation of the immune system and those areas of immunity affected by the HIV are done in such a way so as to effect in a stimulative manner the cellular reactions as represented below
· (Type III/IV). Further, IL2 is known to be a strong and effective activator of T cells. Without the active T cells and macrophages, it is virtually impossible to have any significant effect in HIV/AIDS therapy. 6

CONCLUSION
Therefore, as one can see from this study, ImmuStim-vc and the Caplinger et al. protocol showed a marked improvement, in both the laboratory parameters and quality of life of those patients reported. Once again, while ImmuStim-vc and the protocol is not a cure for HIV/AIDS, it does show great promise for quality of life changes, life extension, and maintenance of life.

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CANCER THERAPY -AN IMMUNOLOGICAL APPROACH
Caplinger, Gregory E.
ABSTRACT
Over the many years of cancer research and therapy there is still much debate as to the cause or causal factors. Much research and subsequent therapy has been directed towards a specific cause of a specific cancer.
Caplinger et al. 1•2•3 believes that a common biochemical phenomena exists with all malignancies which has been previously shown by the Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg, and subsequently by NCI research scientist, Dr. Dean Burke. When the cellular function, and more specifically the mitochondria, of the cell is examined, it is found to be anaerobic in the "cancer state" versus aerobic in the "healthy state."
Further, there exists Free Radical Pathogens (FR,P's) which are a result of split electrons in the cancer patient.
Therefnre, the discnvery of a general immunological protocol with specific aetion has been utilized in over a thousand eanr:er patients (mixed). The use of ImmuStim-CA/CAP Immunologir:al Protocolft has demonstrated a signifieant efficacy in most conr:erns. The results are discussed and summarized below.
INTRODUCTION
As previously noted, much attention to date has been the search for the specific cause(s) of specific cancers. Neoplastic cells differ from normal cells in size and function. Further, as proposed by Warburg, they are anaerobic and as q~oposed by others, they contain FRP's and thus unpaired electrons.·
Over the many years ef cancer research the Americans, and subsequently the international community, have found efficacious four forms of therapy: ( 1 ) ~urgery, ( 2) Chemotherapy, ( 3) Radiation, and (4) Immunotherapy.
Currently, many clinicians and scientists feel that Immunotherapy not only is effective but in comparison very non-toxic.
The approach of Caplinger 1•'• 3 et al. is that of nonspecific immunostimulation with specific anticarcinogenic activity. The use of ImmuStim-CA/CAP Immunological Protocolft uses biological agents to stimulate the body's reticuloendothelial system, augmenting the patient's own immunosurveillance and combating the immunosuppressive effects of cancer and its treatment.

As a major biological component of the vaccine, Interleukin-2 (IL2) not only serves as a general immune stimulant, hut activates TIL's (Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes) which act as macrophages to attack and eliminate neoplastic cells. 8 To summarize the effects of ImmuSt im-CA/CAP Immunological Protocol"'", one observes the following:
I. Stimulate T cells and macrophages to destroy neoplastic cells.
II. Stimulate cell mediated humoral and general immunity/immune response.
III. Oxidize any existing Free Radical Pathogens (FRP's).
IV. Stimulate and activate NK (Natural Killer) cells to destroy neoplastic cells.
V. Give the needed nutritional support.
VI. Improve the general quality of life.

In the staging and grading of malignant disease normally the international staging system of TMN is utilized (tumor size, metastatic progress, nodal involvement). For more simplistic: comparisons the use of an older system, somewhat traditional has been utilized even though all data for official records has been reported using TMN.5 . --

DISCUSSION
Thus, upon evaluation of ImmuStim-CA/CAP Immunological Protocol one can observe a significant benefit from the therapy, and one can also see the advantages of concurrent use of other therapies.
In the evaluation of patients one can observe:
Patients Treated Patients In Remission Patients Living and in Remission Patients Deceased
I
128 76
101 27
Therefore, 78% of all treated patients showed a significant improvement in condition, quality of life, and disease state. Also, noted is 59% achievement of ~emission which for the purpose of the study is defined as a disease free state. Of those studied, 21% died at various stages of the neoplastic process.
To date over 1 , 200 patients with various neoplasms have been treated and many are under current therapy. As was previously stated, ImmuStim-CA/CAP Immunological Protocol is not a cure for neoplastic disease, hut an effective adjunctive therapy.
CONCLUSION
In view of the data reported to date (January 1, 1994), one can clearly observe the following:
I. Function
A. Efficacious s.• Strong Immunoaugmentative Biological Pharmaceutical c. Non-Toxic
II. Usage
A. Easy patient compliance B. Cost-effective C. Ambulatory use is possible
III. Effectiveness
A. Produces/facilitates remission B. Increases longevity c. Improves quality of life D. No risk to patient E. Can he and is recommended to he used concurrently with
other therapies
