It is said that behind every great man stands a great woman. And that stands true \ue001or Dr. Patricia Kongshavn. She met Dr. Bounous in 1975 and their collaboration would later result in the discovery o\ue001 Immunocal\u00ae. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, \u201cAll great achievements require time\u201d. Indeed 22 years later, Immunocal\u00ae is the leading dietary supplement scienti\ue000cally

Our \u201cReach \ue001or the Moon\u201d 2009 incentive trip was launched at last year\u2019s Annual Event.

By now, you know that this very discovery lead to the development o\ue001 the high-quality, dietary supplement trademarked in 1997 as Immunocal\u00ae.

A name very much associated with Immunocal is Dr. Gustavo Bounous. It was his research program that pioneered the isolation and preparation o\ue001 the undenatured milk concentrate that helps to sustain normal glutathione levels and ultimately a strong immune system.

Another name that is strongly associated with Immunotec\u2019s cornerstone product is Dr. Patricia Kongshavn \u2013 the principal collaborator in this important research program.

Drs. Patricia Kongshavn and Gustavo Bounous \ue000rst met in 1975. At the time, Dr. Kongshavn was working as an independent investigator as well as pro\ue001essor o\ue001 physiology and immunology at McGill University.

Dr. Bounous, who had already been named Career Investigator o\ue001 the Medical Research Council in 1968, had come to Dr. Kongshavn\u2019s laboratory in the Department o\ue001 Medicine at McGill because he was taking a sabbatical to \ue001ully concentrate on his important research project. His goal was to \ue000nd a way to improve the \ue001unctioning o\ue001 the immune system through changes in the protein component o\ue001 the diet.

Dr. Bounous, a surgeon and surgical researcher whose interest centered on nutrition, and Dr. Kongshavn, who was engaged in research in immunology, couldn\u2019t have been better suited \ue001or their work together. With a collaboration

As we know today, this pioneering team was the \ue000rst to discover a natural way to raise glutathione in the body. Together, they designed their experiments and wrote and published journal articles in relation to their work.

Many hours; many experiments; many questions. These were the driving \ue001orces behind the discoveries that, gradually yet progressively, led to the development o\ue001 Immunocal\u00ae.

Initially they were able to demonstrate that by \ue001eeding mice a whey-based protein, the animals developed an immune response that was much greater than that seen in mice \ue001ed any other edible protein. Most importantly, it protected the mice against cancer and prolonged their lives by an impressive 40%.

Although excited by this discovery, it le\ue001t them scratching their heads and yearning \ue001or more answers. How could this be? Especially since at the time, whey protein was considered to be an insigni\ue000cant source o\ue001 protein in comparison to other protein sources.

More hours; more experiments. Every step \ue001orward resulted in new questions. How could this protein source, believed to be o\ue001 low quality, promote such a high bioactivity? They had the \u201cwhat happens when\u201d. They needed the \u201cwhy it happens\u201d.

Finally, Drs. Kongshavn and Bounous\u2019 moment o\ue001 eureka came when they were able to prove that the positive e\ue001\ue001ects that the whey protein had on the immune response o\ue001 the test mice was due to the high content o\ue001 the amino acid, cysteine. In turn, the provision o\ue001 cysteine enabled the mice to generate glutathione at the cellular level. And glutathione, as we know today, is crucial \ue001or the maintenance o\ue001 a strong immune system.

This is the single most important discovery that changed our understanding o\ue001 the role that nutrition plays in maximizing the immune response.

Scientists are a passionate breed o\ue001 people. To the rest o\ue001 us it seems they get onto something and don\u2019t let go until their understanding impacts li\ue001e as we know it. O\ue001 course their \ue000ndings \u2013 especially when it concerns the human body \u2013 bene\ue000t us tremendously by improving our health, which ultimately improves our quality o\ue001 li\ue001e.

Yet because o\ue001 their single-minded \ue001ascination, we o\ue001ten take \ue001or granted that scientists are individuals with lives outside o\ue001 the laboratory. In addition to her work as both a scientist and a pro\ue001essor, Dr. Kongshavn was also a devoted wi\ue001e and mother. In many ways she was ahead o\ue001 her time, with a reality that was inundated with challenges o\ue001 the extraordinary variety.

Her husband at the time was an engineer. Yet due to illness, became unable to work. This le\ue001t Dr. Kongshavn to be the sole provider \ue001or her \ue001amily and in many ways, single parent to her three young children.

Even though the di\ue001\ue001erent aspects o\ue001 her work were very involving, Dr. Kongshavn made what some may take \ue001or granted into a priority, including having dinner with her \ue001amily. This le\ue001t many tasks to be done during the evenings a\ue001ter her children had gone to bed or on weekends, such as preparing \ue001or lectures, writing journal articles and assisting her graduate students with their theses.

As with many women whose lives are dictated by responsibility, Dr. Kongshavn learned how to organize the many \ue001acets o\ue001 her li\ue001e and made it a point to enjoy leisure activities with her children such as skiing in the winter and camping and hiking during the summer months.

\u201cI live a very pleasant retired li\ue001e with my second husband,\u201d she stated recently. Although to many, she\u2019s just as active as ever.

Every once in a while something extraordinary happens that forever changes the way we understand our own bodies and the functions associated with optimized health. Te groundbreaking discovery surrounding the role that whey protein plays on raising glutathione levels at the cellular level is one such case.
