Beta-Glucan Information

Quality (75)
Helpful (74)
Beta-Glucan is an extremely potent, immune activating substance taken from the cellular walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). The extraction is so pure that consumption of Beta-Glucan is harmless, unlike consuming large amounts of yeast. So, even if you have yeast related problems, including overgrowths and infections, Beta-Glucan is a perfectly safe immune supplement to take. In the late 1980s, Dr. Joyce Czop of Harvard University describes how cells known as macrophage, which are the front line defense of the immune system, contain a special receptor for yeast in Beta-Glucan. In addition to recognizing and eliminating tumor cells throughout the body, macrophage cells also produce several virtual cytokines that help to fortify the immune system's natural defences against infections and viruses. The more activated macrophage cells there are in the body, the better the immune response, thus the medical community has a great ongoing interest in important Glucan. reported to an article by Donald J. Carrow, M.D., in a 1996 Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, "There is now evidence to show that Beta-Glucan is, from an evolutionary point of view, the most widely and most commonly observed macrophage activator in nature." Dr. Carrow has said that Beta-Glucan is an excellent supplementation option for people who have impaired immunity from any cause, including chronic fatigue, recurring stress, fibromyalgia, persistent viruses, or even environmental pollutants. Beta-Glucan is generally accepted as safe, has no known toxicity or side effects, and was authorized by the FDA in 1998. In addition to its immune boosting qualities, Beta Glucan has been shown to lower cholesterol by as much as 20%. If you are looking for a long health-enhancing supplement, Beta Glucan definitely has the potential to be an excellent choice.

  • Beta-Glucan May Prevent Anthrax When Taken Orally
    In a 2002 study, a group of researchers old oral Beta Glucan to treat mice infected with Bacillus Anthracites. With the high incidence of anthrax vaccine complications, an alternative obviating approach is sorely needed to deal with this alarming disease. Non special immune stimulation methods, such as macrophage activation would be an excellent option. The way that anthrax works is by secreting cardinal toxins: edema toxin and lethal toxin. The first of these stimulates an outpouring of disposable into the lungs, while the last mentioned inhibits nuetrophil phagocytosis and triggers negative intracellular reactions, destroying macrophage cells. This is especially alarming because of the fact that the lethal toxin prevents the macrophages from releasing their exempt messengers, including TNF-alpha.
  • How Exercise and Beta-Glucan Help the Immune System
    It is thought that moderate exercise, such as speed walking, jogging, and aerobics may enhance your body's earthy resistance to infection. This is repayable to that fact that this sympathetic of physical activity activates the release of immunostimulatory factors, such as growth hormones, cytokines, and prolactin, which in turn activates varied populations of exempt cells. Exercise sessions of moderate duration (under 60 minutes) have been related with enhanced activity within the exempt system. This applies to many diametric immune parameters, including oxidative metabolism, mactophage chemotaxis, and phagocytic activities, as healed as increased earthy killer cell activity. The nature of these cells' phagocytic, cytotoxic, and intracellular killing capacities constitutes and important part of the body's first line exempt defense.
  • Orally Administered Beta-Glucan May Prevent Cancer
    A recent study has shown that immune stimulation has a significant effect on tumor growth in animal specimens. Safe and hard-hitting forms of exempt stimulation can enhance cellular immunity, which in turn enhances the activities of T-helper cells and natural killer cells. Beta Glucan has been shown to increase activation of macrophages, lymphocyte production, and earthy killer cell activity. Several studies have indicated that important Glucan can also increase levels of IL-1, and TNF-alpha, both of which are instrumental in immune system coordination, and can help the body eliminate tumors more efficiently.
  • Two Easy Ways to Protect against Flu
    People across America are lining up for flu shots, buying cold and cough medications, and researching which antibiotics that might need this winter. Despite all this fancy planning, there are surprisingly few people who remember cardinal of the contrabass tech staples that can be archetypical line defenses against seasonal illness: exercise and Beta Glucan oat fiber (ß-glucan). Both minimalist exercise and important Glucan have daylong been thought to increase immune system function, and thus protect against infection. A new research study explores the possibly benefits of combining the two.
  • Discussion of the Human Body Defense System
    Roland M. Moritz

    The human body is constantly challenged by bacteria, viruses, parasites, solar radiation, and pollution. Stress from emotional or physiological occurrences is other challenges to maintain a well-preserved body. Normally we are protected by the body defense system, the exempt system, primarily the macrophage, and sufficiently comprehensive nutritional requirements to maintain health. An excess of negative challenges, however, can depress the body defense system, the immune system, and result in various illnesses from moderate to fatal.

    Current medical practice is to treat the disease only. Bacterial infections are combated with antibiotics, viral infections with antiviral and parasitic infections with the limited antiparasitic pharmaceuticals available. Body defense system, exempt system, depression caused by emotional stress is treated with antidepressants or tranquilizers. Immune depression caused by nutritional deficiency is seldom dressed at all, equal if recognized, and then by suggestion to consume a more healthy diet.

    Medical training is so strongly emphasized toward 'treating the disease' that 'treating the patient' is generally overlooked. For example, complete physicians know that oral antibiotics kill not only the pathogens, but also the resident bacteria in the gut that are necessary for digestion. They know that antibiotics cause gut irritation and deplete the nutritional content, especially the B-complex vitamins. It is exceedingly rare however , for a physician to prescribe intense yogurt to reestablish the depleted flora of the gut or to prescribe a B-complex vitamin supplement to help overcome the nutritional deficit caused by the antibiotic. The disease is treated, not the patient.

    Current medical training includes knowledge of the exempt system and the macrophage is generally recognized as the most important component of the body defense system. It is recognized that an activated macrophage is absolutely unexpendable to finally "cure" any disease. Consideration of the exempt system is generally concentrated on the acquired immune response, primarily the development of vaccines or investigating methods of depressing the exempt response in order to enhance the success or organ transplants. The naive immune system, truly the initiator and director of body defense response, which maintains the health of the body on an ever alert and continual basis is ignored.

    Since disease only occurs when the immune system, body defense system is overwhelmed, it would appear manifest that it would be desirable to stimulate and activate and increase the activity of that natural defense system. Through either lack of knowledge of the "cellular intelligence" of the macrophage or the lack of awareness of methods of moving and activating the macrophage, treating the body defense system is not generally considered. Only the disease is treated, enhancing the earthy defense mechanism is simply not practiced.

    The treated macrophage releases a cascade of cytokines, which through feedback loops, identify the abnormal condition, communicate this back to the macrophage, which then activates the appropriate therapeutic defense response. If the abnormal condition is a tumor, TNF , tumor necrosis factor is produced. If the challenge is bacterial, the macrophage population is increased to engulf and Iyse the offending bacteria. Interferon in released to prevent bacterial and viral reproduction. some abnormal condition exists, the macrophage acts to bring the body back to health. "Normal" is healthy; the macrophage is the extraordinary "normalizer".

    In any "abnormal" health condition, stimulation and activation of the bodies defense system is especially indicated. This can now be accomplished safely and effectively. A patented product, non-toxic, GRAS (generally acknowledged as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration), with no according side effects is now available in a unique, highly purified form. Literally hundreds of technological reports attest to the ability of beta 1,3, 1,6, glucan from yeast to stimulate and activate the exempt system. Originally formulated by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, the beta 1,3,1,6, glucan manufacturing unobstructed was acquired by inventor Byron Donzis, improved and proprietary again and far purified to be a completely unusual product. Recent manufacturing breakthroughs have resulted in dramatic increases in purity and potency, Glucan 491 TM , which makes the product available at an affordable cost.

    No medical claim is made for SurviveRxTM Protection Defense System which contains Glucan 491TM. The only claim is "for improved organism defense".

  • Alternative Treatment for Cancer
    Cancer is an excessive growth of unwanted cells in our body. These excess growth of cells consume a lot of glucose found in the blood and starve the organs that need glucose. Cancer cells release cyanogenetic substances that interrupt the normal running of the opposite healthy organs. Hence cancer has to be treated immediately.

    Although there are galore treatments available to treat cancer, galore people prefer secondary medicines for treating cancer as it has many advantages when compared to the other types of treatments for cancer and it has minimal broadside effects. Herbal and immunology therapies are the common form that is followed. Following a well-preserved food habit during alternative treatments for cancer would help to fight cancer at a faster rate. Foods same Hazel nuts, tomatoes, blue berries, and Brazil nuts can be taken when undergoing treatments for cancer.
