Arnold S. Leonard, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Leonard was Professor of Surgery at the University of Minnesota and Head of the Pediatric Surgery Department. He has devoted himself entirely to cancer research in genetic engineering, boosting the immune system with human interleukin-2 gene, boosted by the use of very high antioxidant oils. An Endowed Scholar Chair has been placed in Dr. Leonard's name in the Surgery Department at the University of Minnesota, and he has also received the Wangensteen Award for Academic Excellence. Dr. Leonard belongs to all the major surgical societies, and continues to lecture throughout the world on the importance of the immune system and its relationship to cancer plus the importance of nutraceuticals as synergistic to the genetic engineering experiments in reducing cancer. He has written over 250 articles and books.

Dr. Leonard and Dr. Saltzman, along and their staff at the Immunology and Biology Lab at the University of Minnesota, are on the cutting edge of cancer research. They have developed a genetically engineered strain of Salmonella which has lost its' ability to cause disease yet has a unique capacity to infiltrate tumors in a variety of locations including the lung and liver. In addition, a human gene acting as a powerful immune stimulant has been added to the bacteria. Thus, when it is orally given, the Salmonella will infiltrate tumors and deliver this immune stimulant and enlist the body's own defenses to destroy the tumor.
