Abstract: The present invention relates to a significant improvement in the preparation of a pharmaceutically purified and proven effective product of powdered bovine tracheal cartilage for the treatment of a number of maladies, including such cancers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,822,607 and as a food supplement product. This improvement in the process of preparation is a continuation-in-part of my U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/302,518 filed Nov. 9, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,503,990. The present improvement over the above referenced U.S. patent application, which is considerably less expensive, is accomplished by replacing the final cryogenic milling process with a new step including subjecting the processed cartilage to an ACM pulverizer mill, then to a Tenberg B cyclone, while the fine dust is collected by a fine dust bag and the cartilage powder is collected and sent to packaging and/or encapsulation.
