BRINGING LIGHT TO THE SHADOW OF DEATH

It was 1949. Michael Kiriac’s father, Stefana had just died of pancreatic cancer. Eleven years earlier, the same cancer had claimed the life of his son Simion at age twelve. This kind of genetic weakness often decimates families in the region. Michael’s mother, Stefana feared for her family, born and unborn, materialized in a series of tragic deaths from pancreatic cancer. Michael Kiriac was destined to finally stop the tragedies for his family and thousands of other families, but it took 40 years. His magnificent story follows.

Michael was born in 1952 in Kishinev, Moldova, then part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), as the youngest of ten children in a single story, three-bedroom house. His father, Ignat, worked as a labourer on the local farms. Michael loved his father, who was healthy, strong, and worked hard all his life. A poor but simple country lifestyle provided the opportunity to live close to the land, eat fresh home-grown foods, and fast at times, according to the local orthodox religious traditions.

In a continuing family tragedy, Ignat Kiriac was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August 1964 and died a few months later. Nothing could be done; the disease was sudden and death was rapid. It shook everyone in the family, leaving young Michael astounded that all the discoveries and progress of science were powerless to stop the tragedy. Filled with burning questions about cancer, life and death, and the shortcomings of medical science, he resolved to devote his life to the search for answers.

The Road to Discovery

DISCOVERING NUTRITION AS THE WAY TO HEALTH

After three years of intensive study in Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Biology, Michael began to realize that we are cellular beings, nourished by other cells of nature, and that nutrition has the potential to surpass the “break and fix” approach to medicine by preventing degeneration and empowering cells to thrive as nature intended them to do.

SUPER NUTRITION IN ALGAE

After graduation, the Moldova Academy of Sciences put Kiriac to work on several research projects in the region and also encouraged him to pursue his own research focused on organic nutrition while continuing his studies. As part of his research, he attended lectures on then current Japanese scientific research and studied papers describing positive results with 23 Chlorela. It was then that he decided to begin his research efforts with this micro-algae.

After two years of research with the Chlorella alga, he began investigating hundreds of other algae with strong emphasis placed on several different strains of the Spirulina algae, which at the time had shown promising results. Directed research techniques were applied allowing him to accomplish hundreds of precise tests with conclusive results. For example, at times he and his researchers worked with more than 250 test groups of 30 40 animals per group.

SEARCHING FOR THE BEST ALGAE

From 1973 to 1977, during the intensive search for the best algae, more than one thousand different species of microalgae were selected from all over the world and tested for their individual benefits as well as for their complementary and synergistic combination potential. For example, over 65 strains of Spirulina alone were involved in experimentation. Various blue, green, and red algae were also used, including the carotenoid-rich Dunaliella and Astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus, selected for their superior antioxidant powers. Astaxanthin alone may carry up to 1,000 times the anti- oxidant power found in Vitamin E and up to 40 times more than that found in carrots.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY TURNS FOCUS TO HUMAN SOLUTIONS

Tragedy again struck the Kiriac family in 1977. Michael’s first-born, Julian, fell ill and died at four months. Not until then was it discovered he had systemic endocrine cancer. His devastated family was resigned to the unfortunate genetic disposition of the glandular cancer his parents and many siblings suffered.

But not Michael; he was convinced that he could make a difference with nature’s complete nutrition. From then on, his research focus turned to human solutions as much as possible. He knew that dramatically improving the health of the cells in humans would not only affect their health but also that of the DNA within the cells.

Kiriac had narrowed down his research to two strains of Spirulina (fortheir high content of naturally-occurring proteins, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes), Dunaliella (for its exceptional vitamin C and mixed antioxidant content), and Astaxanthin (for its superior antioxidant power). However, when the algae were used singly, the cancers were not eradicated quickly enough or with enough consistency. New significant steps were yet to be made when, for example, it was concluded that any single base alga by itself lacked either sufficient vitamin C or zinc or some other co-factor for maximum assimilation of its nutrients, minerals, enzymes, or antioxidants to effectively combat cancer and other degenerative conditions.

EUREKA! BIO-ALGAE CONCENTRATES - SUPERNUTRITION

With the culmination of several years of research, the resulting micro-nutrient algae concentrates were coined “Bio-Algae Concentrates”(BAC). Compared to the earlier, simpler algae blends, the BAC nutraceutical powers were far superior.

His ultimate realization was “that what power of the body in combination with super nutrients”. Given the enormous offering of nutrients that are naturally occurring in BAC’s balanced and synergistic blend, the body’s innate capacity is triggered to take what it needs to nourish and self-repair. BAC targets the brain glands via super nutrition, in particular the hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal, because only they and the central nervous system they control are able to powerfully awaken a sluggish immune system. This discovery and research results were published by the Academy of Science.

By then, Kiriac was driving his research towards solutions for pancreatic cancer in several animal populations with the intent to resolve this disease for the remaining members of his family. His personal motivation to find cures for pancreatic cancer led to extensive research and the development of many BAC formulations throughout these productive years.

Finally, after this extremely hard work, many years, and thousands of clinical tests, his team narrowed their focus exclusively on the red Haematococcus algae for its potent Astaxanthin, on the orange Dunaliella for its mix of carotenoids, and on two of the best Spirulina for their broad and complementary nutrient spectrum. Precise enhancements and combinations of these four prime algae provided the long-awaited blends with superior balance and synergy.

From this point forward, success with larger animal species was rapid as BAC delivered much more potent and absorbable nutrition immediately to cells. The health of both large and small animal populations was consistently stabilized in four to six weeks, and for many, remission would occur rapidly after due to the innate power that fully nourished and empowered cells to cleanse themselves and split into healthier child cells. During those years, parallel experiments and practical applications with humans were ongoing with the researchers themselves and the local medical clinics. Michael became known as a brilliant young scientist and contributor to the future of mankind. His discoveries had spread in scientific circles as far as Moscow, including the Academy of Science and the Ministry of Nutrition.

CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR DISASTER AND BAC’S HEALING POWER

 Following from previous success with BAC and various cancers in many animal species, and
with humans in smaller scale clinical studies, when disaster struck at Chernobyl, Ukraine, Mr. Kiriac was able to work locally with adults and children from neighbourhood schools that were suffering from radiation exposure.

BAC was administered in therapeutic doses and the following health improvements
were noted:

• Leukaemia, dangerously low white blood cell counts were significantly redressed in less than 20 days
• Regeneration of bone marrow, spinal fluids, blood, and liver
• Reduction in urine radioactivity levels by more than 40% in less than 20 days

Many people died as a result of Chernobyl explosion, but the miracles were numerous. Given the super nutrients in BAC, rapid progress in healing was observed.

SIBERIA’S VOLCANIC WATERS YIELD HOT DISCOVERIES

During the political changes in 1981, despite budget constraints in post-USSR Russia, Mr. Kiriac was able to push through his proposal to build a BAC bioreactor on the volcanic peninsula of Kamchatka, Siberia. He had selected this specific location because of the presence of extraordinary volcanic nutrients in the water. This was a perfect base solution for BAC and allowed the presence of the best Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) within BAC.

In 1990, Michael Kiriac received his Doctorate in Biotechnology. He was assigned to the Department Nutrition at the Moscow Nutrition Sciences Research Institute while continuing to
supervise all of his ongoing research.

In spite of this, in the current system, it was apparent that he couldn’t be a scientist as well as an entrepreneur in the field,  Dr. Kiriac took a decision to leave the country and his whole family mad a transition to Canada in 1995.

NORTH AMERICA and ITS VALIDATION OF BAC

After settling period and navigating Canadian capitalist system, BAC was back in production in three years under BioNutrition Inc. and began distributing BAC in Canada. 

The effectiveness of BAC was further validated by clinical studies conducted by The Montreal McGill University. The algae are still grown and harvested in the world’s richest volcanic peninsula of Kamchatka, Russia and then imported to Canada for blending, encapsulating, and
bottling under strict quality assurance. He remains a pioneer in the industry and continues to consult other growers about advanced alga growing technologies which he invented.
