Abstract
A Copper/Zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of ionic mineral(s) in a ligand complex and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for the neutralization of superoxide produced trauma and/or stress-related conditions including, but not limited to, conditions such as myotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The composition may also include other supporting adjutants such as bioavailable magnesium, manganese, selenium and other minerals that can support the nervous system and other vitamins and glutathione and other nutrients. Botanical extracts, urea, other supplements helpful for protection and re-enforcement of the immune system are discussed.
Claims17
A method for treating a disease or other trauma, the method comprising:
- administering to a human patient suffering from a trauma including a disease with an ionic mineral complex comprising:
- an ionic metal bonded to a plurality of ammonia ligands to form a metal-ligand complex, the ammonia ligands enabling transport of the metal-ligand complex through the human patient to a region affected by over-production of superoxide.
A method for treating a neural disease, the method comprising:
- a. identifying a human patient that is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS);
- b. administering to the human patient suffering from a neural disease an ionic mineral complex comprising of a first ionic metal bonded to a first plurality of ammonia ligands to form a first metal-ligand complex and the first plurality of ammonia ligands enabling transport of the first metal-ligand complex through the human patient to a region affected by over-production of superoxide.
