 patient decided against using prescription drugs and opted®

use Metadichol at 5 mg twice a day. His glucose level wmeasured and monitored regularly throughout the first 1weeks (Figures 1-8).

There was rapid improvement in his condition and by we6, his blood glucose levels were under control. By week 1his HbA1C (Figure 7) had dropped from 9.8% to 6.2%. Htiredness was abated within 2 weeks of starting the regimeHis blood was very thick and dark when he first started usinMetadichol but by the end of week 6, his blood color wlighter and the blood flow was normal. He continued to uMetadichol at 5 mg per day and a year later, his glucose anHbA1C remained normal.

Discussion

Metadichol is a Nano emulsion of long-chain lipid alcoho(C-26, C-28 and C-30), which are commonly known Policosanols. Metabolism studies in fibroblasts suggest thvery long chain fatty alcohols, fatty aldehydes, and fat

acids are reversibly interconverted in a fatty alcohol cycle Since the metabolites of long chain alcohols a

Introduction

Globally, it is estimated that 366 million people had diabetes5

in 2011 . The number of people with type 2 diabetes israpidly increasing in every country and in some low tomiddle income countries, up to 80% of people have diabetes.India and China are the most affected countries. Diabetescaused 4.6 million deaths in 2011. By the year 2030, it isestimated that 439 million people will have type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disease that can be preventedthrough lifestyle modification, diet control, and control ofoverweight and obesity. Education of the populace is still thekey to control this emerging epidemic. Novel drugs are

 being developed but despite new insight into the pathophysiology of the disease, no cure is available in sight.

We had previously shown the efficacy of Metadichol in6reversing type 1 diabetes . The patient continues to produceinsulin 5 years after he stopped using Metadichol. In thiscase report, we show Metadichol's potential use on patientswith Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract

1,2Background: Metadichol is a Nano emulsion of long-chain alcohols called policosanols which are found in many food3

like rice, wheat, grapes, sugar cane, apple and many others . It acts on membrane receptors in cells throughout the body tstimulate the immune system and inhibit a variety of disease processes, including those that result in metabolic diseasesuch as diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

Methods: A 38-year-old male of middle eastern origin was diagnosed as diabetic after complaining of tiredness and boutof hunger. He was not on any medication and chose to be treated with Metadichol @ 10 mg per day.

Findings: Metadichol helped to lower his fasting blood sugar level from 300 mg/dl to normal in 6 weeks. His HbA1C wareduced from 9.8% to 6.2% in 12 weeks. After 32 more months, his diabetic indicators remain normal.

Interpretation: Metadichol is safe and effective in controlling blood sugar and HbA1C levels in humans. Metadichol ha2 4

 been shown to bind to the vitamin D receptor as an inverse agonist. However, it acts more like a protean agonist ligand tincrease or decrease activity depending on the system. Since Metadichol has no known negative side effects and consistof natural components of common foods, Metadichol has the potential to serve as a novel treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Key words: Diabetes. HbA1C, Vitamin D, VDR

interconverted, a single dosage even at low doses cantheoretically have lasting effects. Metadichol has a particlesize of less than 60 nm. We have shown that it binds to the

2vitamin D receptor (VDR) as an inverse agonist . It is theonly known inverse agonist of VDR known in medicalliterature.

Calcitriol (1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D) is the natural ligandfor the VDR and acts as an agonist. Protean agonists act as

 both positive and negative agonists on the same receptor,

depending on the degree of constitutive activity that is present. If there is no constitutive activity, the agonist would be a positive agonist. When constitutive activity is present,

9the Protean agonist would be an inverse agonist .Metadichol can also act both ways, increasing insulin

8 2secretion and reducing insulin in hyperinsulinemia .Therefore, it behaves more like a Protean agonist.

10Vitamin D is essential to the skeletal system and recentevidence suggests that it also plays a major role in regulatingthe immune system, perhaps through the involvement in

11immune responses to diseases .

The mechanism of action of vitamin D in type 2 diabetes isthought to be mediated not only through regulation of

 plasma calcium levels, which regulate insulin synthesis andsecretion, but also through a direct action on pancreatic

 beta-cell function. Therefore, owing to its increasingrelevance, this review focuses on the role of vitamin D in the

12

 pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus . Metadichol also13

shares cross-reactivity with other nuclear receptors . Thismay explain its activity against a wide range of diseases.

Conclusion

Metadichol is a product made from agricultural waste and isa renewable resource. It has the potential to serve as anantiviral molecule with a broad spectrum of activity,

 particularly given that its constituents (long-chain lipidalcohols) are present in foods commonly consumed on adaily basis and that it has demonstrated no toxicity at doses

14,15of up to 5000 mg/kg . Metadichol may also serve as a

 preventive agent for many tropical diseases given that itstrengthens innate immunity through VDR binding. Thiscould represent a first key step in preventing diseases.Metadichol is ready for large scale testing in countries thatare ravaged by diabetes such as India and China. Once

 proven on large populations, Metadichol could be used as a

 preventive nutritional supplement and a cheaper but moreeffective substitute for prescription drugs that have beenlargely ineffective and have many adverse side effects thatadd to higher healthcare costs.
