FIGHTING DISEASE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

BETA GLUCAN

FIGHTING DISEASE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

AMBROTOSE...RESEARCH, STATISTICS..PROVE ITS NOT AS GOOD AS OUR BETA GOLD!


Beta 1,3-D gulcan works by activating the immune cells known as macrophages. These macrophages trap and consume foreign substances in the body. Dr. Joyce K. Czop, M.D. at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Harvard Medical School states, 'A cascade of interactions and reactions initiated by the macrophage regulatory factors can be envisioned to occur and to eventuate in conversion of the glucan treated host to an arsenal of defense.'


Another function of glucan, very important to my clinic, is its ability to act as a strong antioxidant or free radical scavenger. I have a very large clientele of mercury toxic patients and work closely with amalgam-free dentists. Mercury and other heavy metals are free radical producers, initiating a cascade of tissue destruction and impaired function. In retraining the patient's detoxification mechanisms, one component which has to be addressed is liver phase I detoxification. This process needs vast amounts of antioxidant and glucans can help to provide that, along with the other factors I have the patients take in their protocol. See Mercury Detoxification page

History and How Glucans Works

A substance called Zymosan was discovered in the late 1940’s. Research showed that this product had several ways showing it fighting disease of the immune systme and activating immune properties. These properties were researched one by one until the 1960’s when Nicholas DiLuzio of Tulane University began experimenting with Beta 1,3-D Glucan. The glucan was discovered to be responsible for the immune activating response. Then, Beta 1,3-D glucan was introduced to human subjects in the 1970’s.
