I first heard about Immunocal in June of 1999 when a Chiropractor friend of mine said "Nick, I know you're an expert on supplements, so a friend of mine is going to call and tell you about Immunocal". I said "sure". Jim Hawley did call and we talked for almost a half-hour. What he told me about Immunocal was amazing! Then, it got better. Since very little was on email at the time, Jim began to fax me just some of the vast quantity and quality of information on Immunocal: the PDR monograph, the five US Patent Office "Method of Use" Patents including "Anticancer therapeutic composition containing whey protein concentrate", "Undenatured whey protein concentrate to improve active systemic humoral immune response", "Method of treatment of HIV seropositive individuals with dietary whey proteins", etc...

I remember thinking "wait a minute, there are no supplements in the PDR". But, I was wrong, Immunocal is in the PDR!

I also remember getting the "chills" as I read the pages and thinking "I can help people with this product".

I immediately ordered two boxes and began taking Immunocal. At the time, I was training for the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) World Powerlifting Championships scheduled for October 1999 in Atlantic City, NJ. After about a month on Immunocal, I found that I was not as sore or stiff after my workouts. I was recovering more quickly and could therefore train harder. My energy level was up and I was also able to get more repetitions than ever before with heavy poundage. In September, as I began to peak for the contest, I was amazed at the weights that I could lift. In fact, I was making training lifts that I had never done before in my life! I was also leaner because I had lost fat weight.

The day of the contest came and I weighed in at a lean and muscular 163 pounds. I felt great, my energy level was high and my warm-ups went well. I ended up winning my weight and age group (45 - 49) by setting three American and World Raw Records with a 450-pound squat, 565-pound deadlift and a 1250-pound total! But, the best part is that these were all personal bests for me…I had never lifted that much in my life! And the only difference in my training was the inclusion of Immunocal, two pouches a day. And, that was at the age of 49!

I continued to use Immunocal and make progress, especially in the "deadlift" event, my strongest lift of the three. I am convinced that using Immunocal helped me make the following lifts while still in the 165-pound class in official powerlifting competition 570.7,571.4, 573.2, 578.7 and my all-time best of 580.7 in August of 2006 at age 55!

Since retiring from competition, I continue to take Immunocal for all the right reasons: to increase energy levels, to retain lean body muscle (I still weigh 165 pounds), to fight off colds and other diseases (I rarely get sick and then only mildly). Also, to support a healthy liver to help to in detoxifying every cell in the body from the constant assault by all the toxins in the environment!

So, I give Immunocal the highest possible recommendation and endorsement for all those who are serious about optimizing overall strength, health, wellness, energy and immune system! Simply put, it is the best!

Be well!
