United
Nations Interviewer: Congratulations on your presentation
today to the United Nations at the United Nations General
Assembly, regarding your research on L-Arginine.
Dr. Allen, it is indeed a pleasure to speak
with you in person, as I have followed your research on
L-Arginine and Sickle Cell, and had the pleasure of attending
your scientific lectures in many of the countries in Asia
when you spoke in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and Japan
at the Tokyo Convention Center.
Dr. Allen: Thank you very
much. It was a great honor to be invited to the United
Nations General Assembly to present the current research
on L-Arginine, Sickle Cell and other global genetic polymorphisms.
United Nations Interviewer:
Your research partners from the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, National Human
Genome Research Institute, and the National Medical Association,
are here with you today at the United Nations.
Dr. Allen’s Research Partners:
“Dr. Allen is pioneer in the area of
L-arginine research, and began her study of the amino acid
L-Arginine in 1983, years ahead of any other scientists.
Dr. Allen is solely credited with the
discovery that L-Arginine is a Blind Amino Acid® and that
without a Blind Amino Acid Rider®, L-Arginine can be quite
dangerous in humans. Dr. Allen’s research was validated
by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
and the Johns Hopkins Trial on L-Arginine. For this research,
Dr. Allen received a Federal Patent.
Dr. Allen’s research on L-Arginine covers
Growth Hormone, Testosterone, Anti-Aging, IGF, and nitric
oxide (NO). Arginine is one of the twenty amino acids that
are the building blocks of protein, and serves as the precursor
to the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. NO circulates
in the bloodstream and plays an important role in relaxation
of the blood vessels, contributing to reducing blood pressure
and the risk of heart disease.
Considered the leading L-Arginine researcher
in the world, Dr. Allen’s L-Arginine discoveries and Patents
revolutionized the safe long-term use of arginine in humans.
These Patents will forever change the face of genetic poylmorphisms,
such as Sickle Cell in Africa and African/Americans and
Thalassemia, the most widespread genetic problem in Asia.”
Dr. Allen: We have worked
very hard together for the past five-years, and today it
all became worth it. It’s astounding to stand before all
of the countries represented here, and humbling.
United
Nations Interviewer: In your lecture to the Representatives
of the United Nations, you discussed methodologies for
using L-Arginine in the treatment of genetic polymorphisms,
including Sickle Cell and Thalassemia, particularly in children
worldwide.
Is it
true that you have offered to provide the use of those patents
Pro-Bono to every country represented here at the
United Nations?
Dr.
Allen: Absolutely – because no scientist should
own or control any important breakthrough that can help
children worldwide. After almost 3 decades as a Clinical
Researcher for the largest food companies in the world,
specializing in the Glycemic Index, L-Arginine, obesity,
diabetes, anti-aging, and global health, I now want to focus
on bringing future-science to the public. The best way to
accomplish this goal is to align with like-minded companies.
United
Nations Interviewer: Your patents and research
have generated over $ 1 Billion dollars globally, and were
even featured on the front page of the Wall Street journal.
What new areas of research are you involved in now?
Dr.
Allen: Scientists can lead the global force in
New Science, such as Sickle Cell, Thalassemia, Anti-Aging,
and new approaches to childhood and adult obesity and diabetes.
Let’s
face it, the standard approach to these ailments is NOT
working, and we need to find solutions that actually get
results.
The
answers are within our reach, and those solutions need to
be exploited and expanded for the good of human health everywhere
on the globe.
United
Nations Interviewer: Thanks very much Dr. Allen
for the time you have spent with me today.

TO: Dr. Ann de Wees Allen
ENCODE RESEARCH & FOUNDATION
Dear Dr. Ann de Wees Allen,
Next
Friday, June 19, 2009, at the United Nations in New York City,
the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s
Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the Sickle Cell Disease Association
of America (SCDAA), the International Organization for the
Fight Against Sickle Cell Disease, and the Permanent Mission
of Congo to the United Nations, are hosting the 1st World
Sickle Cell Day Round Table Conference and Festival in
celebration of the UNITED NATIONS General Assembly's Resolution
on Sickle Cell Anameia.
We
respectfully extend an invitation to you to attend, because
you, as much as every other leading Sickle Cell researcher,
should be counted among those present for this historic event.
It
is our sincerest wish that you will be able to attend and
contribute to the framing of the Resolution's framework.
Many
leading researchers, scientists, and hematology pioneers involved
with developing the protocols for SCD diagnosis, treatment
and maintenance will be in attendance at the conference.
Respectfully,
