Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 To take Isoprinosine or not to? From my understanding Isoprinosine " raises the IL-12 and lower IL-10, which turns off TH2 and turns on TH1 " (got that from an old e-mail Carol sent titled " Cheney TH1/TH2 - Part V " ). What if your TH1 and TH2 are both low? What do you do then? Is the Isoprinosine bad to take, cause it might suppress the TH2? Here are my latest test results. If anyone could help me make some sense out of these it would be very helpful. TH1 (Interleukin-2 Level was 2.0 on a scale of 2-20) (Interferon Gamma was 15.40 on a scale of 2-20) Now the TH2 (Interleukin-4 Level was 2 on a scale of 0-40) (Interleukin-10 Level was 15.60 on a scale of 0-40) So it appears that my TH2 is just as low, if not lower then my TH1. My question is, is Isoprinosine not the drug to try at this point? And is there something better for me to try? This is a big decision for me. Any opinions, suggestions, info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 , Something you might consider is supplementing with all the nutrients that the immune system is known to need, to see if you can build it up generally before trying to shift it to Th1. These nutrients include Vitamins A, C, and E, the minerals selenium, magnesium, and zinc, fish oil or flax oil to supply omega-3 fatty acids, nondenatured whey protein to build glutathione (provided you don't have elevated mercury), alpha lipoic acid (provided you don't have elevated methylmercury), coenzyme Q-10, and thymic protein A. It's important to make sure you're getting at least minimum amounts of the other essential nutrients (the other vitamins and minerals) also, but these are the ones particularly needed by the immune system. I'm not licensed to diagnose or treat disease, so please accept this suggestion simply as information to be considered together with a licensed health care provider.
