Pope John Paul II is widely reported to have benefited from the use of
a fermented papaya supplement which was recommended by French
scientist Luc Montagnier during a visit with His Holiness. Sources at
the Vatican, traditionally close-lipped about medical matters
involving the Pope, have not confirmed this.
"Having spent Holy Week in Rome, I am able to confirm the remarkable
improvement in the Pope's health.
Now 83, he has been increasingly afflicted with Parkinson's in recent
years, and has shown all the characteristic symptoms of poor mobility,
shaky hands and slurred speech.
But there was little evidence of any of these during the Easter
blessing he gave from the balcony at St Peter's. His gestures were
decisive, the tremor had all but disappeared and his speech was clear
and coherent.
Vatican sources attribute this apparently miraculous improvement to
the advice of French virologist - and discoverer of the Aids virus -
Dr Luc Montagnier, who visited the Vatican last year.
He suggested that the Pope take a health supplement that includes
extract of papaya, an anti-oxidant rich in vitamins."

"He received Professor Luc Montagnier who had come to talk to his
Holiness about the problems of AIDS in Africa, but also to give him a
mysterious little mauve bag which in fact contained capsules and
sachets. ?Miracle drugs? according to his entourage, which the Pope
should take morning and evening, placing them under his tongue. Two,
3-gram sachets of a molecule based on fermented papaya extract, a
Japanese product soon to be marketed in Europe as an immunostimulant
and antioxidant."

"Vatican sources said that the Pope had been given a French-produced
'alternative medicine' health supplement based on extract of papaya,
an anti-oxidant rich in vitamins. The supplement is said to have been
supplied by Luc Montagnier, a French virologist, who was received by
the Pope last June along with an American doctor."

"There has recently been some interest in the media concerning the
supplement Immun'Age, allegedly taken by Pope John Paul II. Reports
have suggested that the Pope is taking this fermented papaya extract,
and that it is having a marked benefit on his symptoms. Any
observations made about the Pope are particularly difficult to
confirm, as there has been no official confirmation that he has
Parkinson's, and no information is available concerning his symptoms
or what drug treatment he is taking, if any. It is very difficult to
comment on the effects of one supplement when any number of factors
might account for a noted improvement, such as a change or addition to
an existing drug regime, or treatment for another condition or illness
that he may have."

"In June, the Pope was visited by Dr. Luc Montagnier, the president of
the World Foundation for AIDS Research and Prevention... Apparently,
during his audience on June 10th, 2002, with the Pope, Dr. Montagnier
gave the Pontiff a papaya extract to take to help improve his
Parkinson's disease. The Vatican won't confirm or deny that the Pope
is using the product. What has been confirmed, however, is that, since
Dr. Montagnier's visit, there has been a remarkable change in the
Pope's symptoms. Whether the change is related to an act of God, the
extract, or something else, can't be determined...
What Dr. Montagnier gave the Pope is a product called Immun'Age FPP
(Fermented Papaya Preparation), which is manufactured by a Japanese
company called Osato. Immun'Age is produced from non-genetically
modified papayas that are grown in Hawaii. The papayas undergo a
fermentation process and are then dried and ground into a fine powder.
The final product is packed in 3-gram foil packs. Immun'Age was first
developed in 1969 and has been on the Japanese market for about the
last 10 years. It is sold primarily as an immune booster."
