The 1st Line of Immune
Defence - an interview
with Richard Stead
Phil: Richard, would you please be kind enough to
tell us a little about your background and how you
became involved in the creation of the OSCN/ 1st Line
supplement?
Richard: I have a background in chemistry and in the last 20
years much of my work has been linked with the chemistry
of nature and how to use it in the food industry. This led me
to look at the removal of pathogens from uncooked foods,
initially vegetables, such as lettuce, that are chopped and sold
as ready to eat in supermarkets. The objective of the work was
to replace chlorine as the means of killing the pathogens. The
system worked wonderfully but proved to be more expensive
than the chlorine technology, despite it being safer and with no
dangerous by-products.
Phil: So what exactly is OSCN?
Richard: Nature designed the OSCN molecule to kill
pathogens. As with everything in nature, the use of chemicals is
for specific tasks. OSCN is created upon demand in the bodies
of all mammals. It is a powerful anti-pathogenic molecule and
so is only created when and where needed, such as when the
body is under attack from pathogens, be they bacteria, viruses
or even fungal.
Phil: You’ve conducted a number of in-vitro studies with
OSCN, how has it performed to date?
Richard: We have carried out a few in-vitro trials. We only
needed to do a few because there have been many thousand
trials carried out by academia against a wide range of
pathogens: bacterial, viral and fungal. In 99% of them the
OSCN has quickly destroyed the pathogen, or injured it such
that it cannot multiply.
Phil: And in people, what kind of results have been seen
by the health profession?
Richard: Numerous health professionals, Doctors, etc., have
recognised the role of OSCN and prescribed the product for
some seriously ill patients – often almost as a last resort when
the antibiotics have proven to be ineffective.
Phil: I understand that OSCN has a very wide range of
potential, from destroying various pathogens to even
viruses; is its mechanism of action understood?
Richard: There are papers showing that OSCN links onto
the sulphydryl group on the external cell wall of pathogens,
bacteria and virus thereby disrupting the potassium/sodium
