Abstract: A nontoxic, therapeutic agent having pharmacological activity comprising concentrated extract of Larrea tridentata plant material and ascorbic acid, an ascorbic acid ester, an ascorbic acid salt, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, hydrogen sulfide, hypophosphorous acid, monothioglycerol, potassium bisulfite, propyl gallate, sodium bisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium thiosulfate, sulfur dioxide, sulfurous acid, a tocopherol or vitamin E is made by a process in which the plant material is extracted using an organic solvent, preferably acetone, and is then saturated with one of the listed reducing agents acid to reduce the toxic NDGA quinone, which naturally occurs in the plant material, to NDGA itself.

Abstract: A self-contained transportable life support system for resuscitation, stabilization, and transport of a patient has an environmentally controlled housing for receiving and supporting a patient and a plurality of medical devices disposed within the housing. A control circuit attached to the housing has at least a portion thereof extending to an external surface of the housing for regulating operation of the medical devices and environmental conditions of within the housing in response to monitored life support conditions of the patient.
