Wayne E. Martin, B.S.
During the past twenty four years we’ve been fortunate to
have Wayne Martin as one of our most esteemed advisors. Wayne
was not just a knowledgeable advisor, but also a fine friend, one
who unstiningly gave of his medical knowledge to whomever in-
quired.
Wayne Martin graduated from Purdue University with a BS
in Chemical Engineering in 1933 with major emphasis on biochem-
istry and bacteriology. Depression years prevented him from ob-
taining a medical degree, his first love, but did not stop him from a
lifetime of interesting synthesis of the world’s medical literature,
often resulting in discoveries of interesting treatments used today
by many complementary/alternative medical practitioners.
His professional work in Chemical Engineering also resulted in
remarkable findings results of which are still used by people every-
where. Ninety percent of the beryllium copper alloys used world-
wide contain 1.80% of beryllium instead of the more expensive
form of 2.2 to 2.5% beryllium set by Germans at the Siemans and
Haliske Company. Working at the Beryllium Corporation, Wayne
Martin in 1935 discovered that the 1.80% beryllium to copper
alloy (Berylco 180) was superior in many ways and less expensive.
For more than fifty years automobiles -- and you -- have used
Wayne Martin’s beryllium alloy.
Early in World War II, at the Sperry Gyroscope Company, and
also as a “dollar-a-year” consultant with The War Production Board
(WPB), Wayne Martin developed two National Emergency (N.E.)
aluminum casting alloys (319, 380). Ninety-five percent of today’s
aluminum castings are made of these two alloys. Sixty million pounds
monthly of this aluminum alloy is currently used to produce the
modern automobile.
At end of World War II, the Beryllium Corporation was stuck
with a plant owned by the Atomic Energy Commission for which
they wanted a peace-time use. Wayne suggested that it be used to
make potassium titanium fluoride. The entire aluminum industry
uses it to grain-refine aluminum. After it’s return to the Atomic
Energy Commission, Henry Kawecki, Wayne’s friend, formed the
Kawecki Chemical Company to manufacture potassium fluoride,
becoming a multimillion dollar firm, all on Wayne’s ideas.
In 1950 Wayne Martin helped to place aluminum/magneisum
alloy (AL MG 35) for which there was a large market. In 1960 he
developed another aluminum alloy (Precedent 71) which, over a
period of 20 years, made his employer, U.S. Reduction Company,
a great deal of money. (Think of airplanes, among other uses.)
Wayne retired in 1979, becoming a salesman with The South-
ern Aluminum Casting Company of Bay Minette, Alabama. There-
after each retirement has led to further consulting jobs, so he never
truly retired.
So why was a Chemical Engineer who invented important
metal alloys featured as a consultant in medicine?
Although the great American depression had steered him else-
where for survival’s sake, he never lost touch with medicine. His
enquiring mind synthesized many medical articles and research pa-
pers to bring to light remarkable treatments in heart, cancer, and
other medical problems.
In one example from years’ gone by, in 1963 Wayne organized
the Nutrition Research Products Company dedicated to doing some-
thing about the 600,000 deaths each year from heart attacks. His
idea was carried to The Royal College of Surgeons and The National
Heart Hospital in London, England, where Nutrition Research Prod-
ucts Company spent $200,000, and proved that his ideas were
effective in preventing heart disease.
Wayne periodically gave himself weak hydrochloric acid shots
because he’d learned -- long before the advent of antibiotics -- that
administration of these weakened solutions stimulated macrophage
and leucocyte activity, thus killing and/or warding off invasive in-
fections. (See Three Years of Hydrochloric Acid Therapy, http://
www.arthritistrust.org, “Books and Pamphlets” tab.) His story
about the Harvard medical school graduate who became wealthy
by specializing in this treatment in Las Vegas, NV was very educa-
tional as well as hilarious.
Wayne had a lifetime love affair with study of problems re-
lated to the heart and circulation and also with various types of
cancers.
Many years before the expenditure of billions of dollars to
“find the cure for cancer,” Coley’s toxin was bringing about remark-
able “permanent remissions.” This so aggravated the medical mon-
etary and power structure that the simple mixture was forbidden.
Having seen at first hand cures brought about by this mixture in his
early adulthood, Wayne could never cease telling about it. Several
years ago he invested a good sum of his own money to have the
product made in Brazil, thus making it available to any patient who
wished to use it.
Again, alas! Tthe long arm of “forbidden medicine” reached
into Brazil, and the US supply was again halted.
Nonetheless, Wayne found another way to help cancer pa-
tients by publishing the formula for Coley’s toxin so that any pa-
tient or doctor can make up their own supply, if desired. (Coley’s
