    During his audience on June 10th 2002 with the Pope, Dr. Montagnier
    gave the Pontiff a papaya extract to take to help improve his Parkinson's
    disease. What Dr. Montagnier gave the Pope is a product called Immun'Age FPP
    (Fermented Papaya Preparation), which is manufactured by a Japanese company
    called Osato. Immun'Age is produced from non-genetically modified papayas
    that are grown in Hawaii. The papayas undergo a fermentation process and are
    then dried and ground into a fine powder. The final product is packed in
    3-gram foil packs. Immun'Age was first developed in 1969, and has been on
    the Japanese market for about the last 10 years. It is sold primarily as an
    immune booster. Dr. Montagnier feels that the product's ability to scavenge
    free radicals is what makes it effective in helping Parkinson's disease. He
    has also started testing the product in AIDS patients in Africa. So far, the
    studies have been on very small groups, but the results appear to be very
    positive. When used in combination with AIDS drugs, it seems to stimulate
    immune activity. There are also indications that it helps with weight gain
    and improved hemoglobin levels. Larger, more extensive trials are currently
    planned.
    Dr. Montagnier recommended that the Pope take two sachets, or packets, of
    the powder daily - one in the morning and another in the evening. For best
    results, the powder should be dumped under the tongue and taken on an empty
    stomach. Dr. Montagnier says that whenever he first feels a cold coming on
    he immediately takes two sachets, which stops the cold before it gets
    started. This seems to work only if it is taken at the very first sign of a
    cold.
