| Materials and Methods |
The herbal supplement that
I
have developed,
"AGENT EMILY", is the product of extensive research involving plants that typically grow in direct contact with soil. Experiments were conducted using nine different plants:
zucchini, spaghetti squash, hubbard squash, butternut squash, cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkins and miniature ornamental squash.
Experimentation involved varied soil and growing conditions. The aim of this research was to isolate and identify the active ingredient that the plants use as a defense mechanism against fungi and other pests which they are exposed to in the soil.

The methodology used to remove the active substance from the above noted plants involved sterilizing the surface of the plant, cutting it into manageable pieces, homogenizing those pieces at 30,000 rpm in a specialized mixer and then filtering out the coarser particles. The resulting mixture was distributed into six 250ml containers and placed into the GSA rotor of a Sorval RC2B centrifuge to spin for 15 minutes at a maximum speed of 13,000 rpm, creating 27,578 G force. The product was then placed in an acrylamide gel electrophoresis for 18 hours with 1,500 volts applied. The gel was removed, the band was identified and the product was removed from the gel band whereupon it was finally processed and packaged as "Agent Emily". |

| Results |
|
|
"Agent Emily" was applied
to a variety of plants growing in direct contact with soil. Some of the plants were buried to ensure maximum contact with soil microorganisms. Although thickness of the skin of the plants and exposure to the soil varied from trial to trial, the accumulation and evidence of defense was very encouraging.
The final trial was with pumpkins, which were embedded in the soil. In spite of contact with moist soil, bacteria and various worms and bugs, the pumpkin skin remained unblemished, as evidenced in the accompanying photograph (fig. 3).

"Agent Emily" was then tested on 250 HIV/AIDS patient volunteers over a four year period. The results indicate that the agent was effective in inhibiting the growth and spread of common and virulent strains of bacteria and fungi in immune-compromised individuals. Laboratory tests also indicated that the agent is effective in combating the streptococcal bacteria, which causes necrotizing fascitis. |
| Conclusions |
|
|
"Agent Emily" is a simple,
effective and all natural product that can easily be
incorporated into a host of personal body care
products such as soaps, shampoos, detergents and
aerosol sprays. The product was found to be safe for
external application and can be applied on a daily
basis. It can also be used, among other things, to
sanitize clothing, floors and counter tops. Aerosol
spray formulations of the agent can be utilized
effectively on cracked surfaces. These sprays would
be particularly useful in hospitals where "super
bugs" may be hiding in hard to disinfect places such
as bed frames. "Agent Emily" is effective for the
general public as well . |
