Clinical Studies
(Excerpt from: Dr. Sands' book The 30 Day Arthritis Cure, page 208-214)

Since the discovery of CMO and Dr. Sands’ first medical study, several other doctors, universities and researchers have conducted extensive clinical trials and compiled a vast body of data. From groups as few as 20 to massive studies of 9,000 a great deal has been learned. This chapter will make you familiar with the latest clinical studies that have become available since Dr. Sands first wrote this book.

Since the first printing, Dr. Sands’ story has been translated into Spanish, Italian, Korean and Chinese and has been released in several different editions. From humble beginnings with only several thousand patients as reference, Dr. Sands’ story and his discovery of CMO went on to cure millions around the world and is distributed in over 45 countries. Of those people over 11,500 have been medically monitored and 2,617 have been clinically studied. Those studies show CMO to have an overall cure rate of 79%.

Some of the following studies have additional ingredients or slight formula variations. These variations were an effort to satisfy the appetite of so many foreign markets and create regionally exclusive formulas for the distributors. Since the first printing of this book CMO is now known by many private label brand names and is available in several different formulas. A current list of these products and distributors are available at www.realcmo.com.

Despite variations in the formulas, CMO is the main active ingredient in all of them. Although some ingredients may provide temporary symptom relief, CMO is the only curative agent. Therefore the results of these studies are an accurate reflection of the effectiveness of CMO. The standard formula is 385mgs of CMO and 385mgs of excipients in a 770mg capsule. The following studies show the effective cure rates listed by region. Formula variations are noted.


Clinical study – Beijing, China
July 2004 – October 2004
CMO plus MSM (30 capsules)
20 patients (20 patients OA osteoarthritis)
Results: 75% effective OA

Clinical study – Shanghai, China
April 2001– August 2001
7 hospitals in Shanghai area
CMO plus sea cucumber extract (30 capsules)
120 patients, (30 patients RA rheumatoid arthritis, 90 patients OA)
Results 80% effective

Clinical study – Guangzhou, China
November 2000 – March 2001
CMO plus sea cucumber extract (30 capsules)
54 patients (25 patients RA, 29 patients OA)
Results: 70% effective RA
Results: 90% effective OA

Dosage study – China
2000 - 2005
Widespread dosage study
9000 patients (60% patients OA, 35% patients RA, 5% AS)
CMO plus sea cucumber extract or glucosamine (30 capsules)
30-60 capsules have a beneficial effect
OA 150-200 capsules
RA 300-400 capsules
AS 300+ capsules

Dr. Sands worked hard to create a custom formula for the Chinese market that met the needs of both the consumers and marketers. As you can see by the study results, he succeeded in creating a very effective CMO formula named Joint Support.

When Dr. Sands flew to Florida to meet with the delegation from China, the executives from Grandstone Corporation and the product specialists from CMO Distribution Centers of America, he had no idea that he was about to introduce a new word to the Chinese language. When describing how CMO worked he coined the term “immunomodulator” to summarize the overall effect of CMO on the immune system. Later, during registration in China the term immunomodulator was accepted as the descriptive action for CMO on the approval papers.

Double blind clinical study – Seoul, South Korea
May 2002 - February 2003
Seoul University study
80 patients (80 RA)
CMO plus glucosamine (60 capsules)
Results 80% effective

 Empirical results from this double blind study show a high success ratio of 80% in curing rheumatoid arthritis. The summary and comments about this study are written by a very notable Korean doctor. These impressive results and its notable constituents have inspired widespread use in the Korean market where this CMO formula is named BTE.

Clinical study – Oklahoma, United States
February 1999 - August 1999
McDade Foundation (Dr. McDade, Director)
21 patients
CMO standard formula (60 capsules)
Results 95% effective

Dr. Larry McDade was the first to use pH-balancing calcium prior to CMO administration. Many doctors use coral calcium although Dr. McDade developed a more refined method for pH balancing. At the time he first started this technique, his improved success ratio was notable and the product specialist from CMO Distribution Centers of America met with Dr. Sands and his team seeking answers.

It was a lengthy meeting with some rather interesting conclusions. Those conclusions were that CMO is a fatty acid that breaks down in the alkaline environment of the duodenum. The pH balance of the digestive tract can have a direct effect on the success of breaking down and absorbing the CMO fatty acids. Effectively, Dr. McDade was using the pH balancing to improve the absorption rate of CMO.

Further covered in that meeting was the wide variety of successful diets and protocols created by so many different health practitioners. All diet changes can affect the pH of the digestive tract. This explains why the wide varieties of diets have success in common, they all affected the pH level of the patient.

Although this method of pH balancing is not the published standard use practice from the CMO manufacturer, it is becoming more common among healthcare practitioners. Commonly they use a pH balancing calcium such as coral calcium for 30 days prior to starting the CMO.

Clinical study – San Diego, United States
December 1995 – June 1996
San Diego Clinic, Dr. Sands
48 patients
CMO standard formula (100 capsules)
Results 96% effective

This study was conducted by the San Diego Clinic where Dr. Sands is the medical director. The full details of this study are available later in another chapter of this book.

Other studies
As Dr. Sands’ family explored the vast quantity of research information and files he compiled, they discovered he corresponded with thousands of doctors, clinics and academic institutions around the world. He exchanged ideas with the leading autoimmune and cancer researchers in the international medical community. It is no wonder so much unpublished information was found in his files. Many studies, surveys and interesting cases involving CMO were discovered. Two such notable studies were in Canada and Poland.

Double blind clinical study – Poland
382 patients
Dr. H. Siemandi
Results 72% effective
Dr. Siemandi, who conducted the study in Poland, and Dr. Munoz, who wrote the forward to this book, studied medicine together. Dr. Siemandi practices medicine and is research administrator at a hospital in Baja, California and Poland. This was the first study conducted other than the San Diego Clinic study.

Clinical study – Canada
1814 patients
Dr. R. Allen
Results 87% effective

Exploring the files further revealed a series of faxes from Dr. Allen who directed the Canadian study of CMO. Those correspondences were in regard to a custom CMO formula that had been created for the Canadian market named Imunal that included 10 mgs of manganese. s

The development stages of CMO took many forms and formulas before the first public release in December of 1995 and the latest formulas available now. Despite the many variations in formulas and treatment protocols, CMO has constantly proved an effective cure for arthritis no matter what other ingredients are added or how it was being used. It is a comfort to know that Dr. Sands’ discovery is not just the only known cure for arthritis but, that it is also very effective and has been well studied by the international medical community.
