Dr. Gustavo Bounous, M.D., Discoverer Of
Immunocal
|
 |
Educated at the University of Turin and the
University of Genoa in his native Italy, Dr Gustavo Bounous'
distinguished career in medical research began as a Research
Fellow in surgery at the Indiana Medical Center, Indianapolis. In
1963, he moved to Canada and began an academic career that led him
to become Professor of Surgery, first at the University of
Sherbrooke (1973-1985) and then at McGill University (1985-1993).
Dr. Bounous was awarded the 1965 medal of the
Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He pioneered
the use of elemental diets in the prophylaxis and treatment of
intestinal lesions associated with shock, intestinal ischemia,
radiation, cancer chemotherapy and Crohn's disease. In 1968, he
was named Career Investigator of the Medical Research Council, an
award that was reconfirmed until 1993, the year of his retirement
from McGill University. |
In 1978, Dr. Bounous
initiated a novel research program in conjunction with a colleague
from the McGill University Faculty of Medicine to search for a dietary
protein source that would boost the immune system. Their research led
to the discovery of an undenatured serum milk concentrate that
sustains normal glutathione levels and promotes immunoenhancing and
anticarcinogenic activity. Subsequent identification of the active
ingredients present in this protein mixture led to the development of
a high-quality bioactive material given the name and trademark
Immunocal®/HMS 90® in 1993.

Dr. William Code, M.D., FRCPC

As Residency Program Director at the University
of Saskatchewan, Dr. Code had a busy career of clinical work,
research and teaching. The Financial Post Fortune 500
Edition profiled him as the quintessential baby boomer when he
left his hectic lifestyle for the quieter surroundings of
Vancouver Island in 1992. Dr. Code added the treatment of chronic
pain problems to his clinical anesthesia practice, but soon after
began to notice major problems with foot drop, fatigue and
increasing weakness of his right side.
Dr. Code tells the compelling story of his diagnosis with multiple
sclerosis and his personal journey to wellness to Immunotec
audiences across North America. |
