Energy production • Your body is controlled by your brain which controls it by sending signals (energy package) through your body • There are 2 energy sources for cells, glucose and fatty acids • Different kind of stress makes the metabolism shift from a glucose to fatty acid metabolism • A cascade of processes is starting in the brain, which can lead to different brain diseases. • The balace between metabolism, immune system and CNS is challenged Jette and John Nieland 2010
New mode of action • The only way to block all these processes effectively is by reversing the energy generation. • We treat the disease by blocking fatty acid metabolism • We reset the body functions and restore the balance in the system • We force the normal body functions to take care of the disease itself • We treat patients for weeks not for years Jette and John Nieland 2010
Lipids in the brain Palmitate coupled to Myelin is the isolation around nerve cells Blocking fatty acid metabolism reverts the disease inducing cascade Jette and John Nieland 2010

Effect of M-IQ on depression Rats are stressed for several week after which 50% get depressed. Then the depressed animal are treated either with M-IQ 002 or placebo. As a control normal animals are treated with either M-IQ 002 or placebo. Within 1 week up to 70 % and within 4 weeks 95% of the animals respond. Normal medicine on the market gives maximally 50% response rate after completion of treatment. Normal Stressed M-IQ 002 Stressed Vehicle 100 80 60 % Normal Animals 40 20 0 before treatment week 1 week 4 Jette and John Nieland 2010
Effect of M-IQ on depression The responding animals show maximal response within 1 week of treatment, in contrast medicine on the market takes about 3-4 week before an effect starts being visible. Escitralopram data are from historic experiments as comparison Jette and John Nieland 2010
