These Treatments are Different
You cannot pick an alternative cancer treatment the same way you pick your other medications. Despite the enthusiastic claims of well meaning people:
- Just because Beta Glucan worked for someone else, that does not mean it will work for you.
- Even though there are many viable alternative cancer treatments, there isn't a "best" treatment for a certain type or stage of cancer.
- Most alternative cancer treatments only work on a minority of the people who try it.
A person's unique body chemistry seems to be the most important consideration in selecting an alternative cancer treatment. Only energy medicine offers a selection method that takes body chemisrty into account.
What to Do
Consider taking no more than three treatments, the treatment recommend by someone else, selected by your research and the treatment indicated by energy medicine testing using the Alternative Cancer Treatments Test Kit*.
Introduction
Beta-glucan is a fiber-type complex sugar (polysaccharide) derived from the cell wall of baker’s yeast, oat and barley fiber, and many medicinal mushrooms, such as maitake. Previously, beta glucan was very expensive to manufacture. Recent developments in manufacturing have made this product affordable.
Development
Beta Glucan has received intense research for over thirty years. Most of the research related to Cancer and the immune system.

Pharmacology
Glucan is a potent reticuloendothelial-modulating agent whose immunobiological activity is mediated, in part, by an increase in the number and function of macrophages. Lysozyme concentrations were increased approximately sevenfold in some studies. Biologic response modifiers, like Beta Glucan, will modulate immunity, modify neoplastic (cancer) disease and increase resistance to microbial challenge. Glucan can enhance some elements of the immune system against staphylococcal infections.
Effectiveness
Beta Glucan supports the immune system. If you body is not able to deal with its cancer cells due to an immune system deficiency, then Beta Glucan may help. For this reason Beta Glucan can be seen to be supportive of a persons fight agains any form of cancer. Most people know the strength of their immune system. People who take a long time to get rid of colds usually have a with weak immune system. For these people, Beta Glucan may be a good addition to their cancer arsenal.

Studies
Beta Glucan is the primary treatment for cancer in Asia and has over 3,000
published studies. Here are summaries of two studies that shown
a significant effect on tumor growth in animal models: Yeast β -1,3-glucan and Its Use Against Anthrax
Infection and in the Treatment of Cancer and Orally-Administered Yeastβ β 1,3-glucan Prophylactically Protects Against
Anthrax Infection and Cancer in Mice** Click the link to download a PDF of this report.
Here is a PubMed abstract of a study, released in December 2003, which shows how many cancers can be eliminated using a combination of Beta Glucan to enhance the immune response and a class of "manufactured" (monoclonal) antibodies such as Herceptin, Rituxan and Erbitux, Beta-glucan functions as an adjuvant for monoclonal antibody immunotherapy by recruiting tumoricidal granulocytes as killer cells**.

Healthy: If you have no challenges and you are an average weight adult (150-175 lbs.), 100 to 200 mg. daily is usually recommended.
Chronic: If you have recurring problems, but they are not acute, or life threatening, you would take more. To start, most people double the above amount and observe their response.
Acute: You have a critical condition this is the protocol usually recommended: determine the therapeutic dose for your weight (refer to the chart below). Start with approximately 1/3 of the therapeutic dose and increase slowly until you reach the maximum dose. Taking more than the therapeutic amount would achieve no greater response.

** Comparison Study **
The University of Louisville, Department of Pathology, Louisville, Kentucky ran a study on comparing commercially available beta glucan. The results were published in Vol. 10, No. 1, 2007 of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association** (a 4.5 MB PDF).From the results:
"Table 2 summarizes the activities of individual glucans in all tested functions. Clearly, the most active samples were Glucan #300 (the Transfer Point brand), followed by Now Beta Glucan and Maitake Gold 404. Senseiro glucan was almost without measurable activity."
After you make an order, be sure to review the essentials to alternative cancer treatment* that go hand and hand with the principle alternative treatment.
The Best Present
Without a doubt the best present you can give a cancer patient is a spontaneous remission, consider learning more about hypnosis CDs and spontaneous remissions, click the CD. |
