Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Hi Al, I used beta glucan early in my illness for about 3-4 months. It was moderately beneficial but I found I had to take quite large doses to get the benefit. At the doses I was taking it was expensive. I think the price has come down a lot during the past two to three years. It's definitely worth a try. Steve B. Beta Glucan > Hi Everyone, > Has anyone had any benefit from using an immune system supplement called Beta Glucans? I know a patient of Dr. Cheney posted that he used it but I don't have user comments on it. > Thanks, > Al > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2000 Report Share Posted December 3, 2000 Mike I am the one taking the Beta Glucan. Dr. Cheney gave it to me to fight off respiratory infections........worked OK, but not great for that. But, I was supposed to take it before I got sick, so I would not get sick, but I didn't. So taking it after you have the respiratory infection, may not count. Cheney did not mention the gut in relation to this, so it was a suprise to me. Beta Glucan is a powerful immune stimulant, so who knows what all it " works " on. However, as I said, it helped IBS and whatever other gut ailments we PWCs have. It is working great.....but I had the other problem, the opposite of constipation. Just can't spell the d word. Anyway, when I stop taking the Beta Glucan, all the gut problems come back within about 2 days. I have been taking what is called " IMMUTOL 425, made by ATIN, Inc, in Irvine Cal. Each cap has 425 mg, and I take 2 caps AM and 2 caps PM.....on empty stomach. I think you can get this from SunRay Supply. You are not supposed to take this much all the time. After a month, you are to drop back to a lower dosage with 100 mg caps....but I am not that far along yet. I will look up exact instructions if you want. I don't care though. I am going to take that much any way, since the gut relief is sooooo great. If you don't see me on the board again, blame it on the Beta Glucan and say a prayer. LOL.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 i have come to the conclusion that one must be pro-active in addressing gut problems since they cause a chain reactions of toxins and nutrient deficiencies ... if it starts and goes on too long, it becomes like a fire so takes time to put out i was lax about taking the d-olenate (olive leaf) for a while and it dawned on me this week that if there is any hint of gastro intestinal problems like gas, slight reflux etc, I need to address it as soon as possible or else it causes a chain reaction of other events I plan on using immutol to raise my NK function so maybe helps with both Fluffy > Mike > > I am the one taking the Beta Glucan.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 Thank you, Cliff, for your sane, calm, common-sense approach. I'd like to see a lot more of us with that outlook. I think your views on stress and its affect on healing is very accurate. Let's take a look at what really works over the long haul in helping heal these cancers and nutritional deficiencies and base our healing methods on these. Best wishes, Cody.

In the latter case it lessens the severity of the cold but does not usually get rid of it in one day. There are three ways to use beta glucan with a cold. 1. Take 1 or 2 gms with 4 to 6 gms vitamin C, on an empty stomach. 2. Place some powder in the mouth or gargle with glucan. 3. Dissolve some powder in in water and use it as nose drops each 3 hours. Using all three methods together produces better results than just taking the powder alone. This is not some sort of promotion, nor medical advice, but advice that could save countless lives each year if it were followed. The minimum acceptable standard is 75% to 80% beta glucan or better, one company sells 20% beta glucan so check the product is of a high percentage beta glucan, not just 20% grade. Beta Glucan is not patented and many companies sell it, simply do an internet search for a supplier. Some people on the list sell it for half price, only to cancer patients, but check commercial prices through an internet search to confirm this. Shitake (Lentinus Edodies) mushroom beta glucan is not orally available so avoid using Shitake or its extracts. Agaricus Blazei, Reishei, Maitake, Coriolus Versicolor, Pleurotus Ostreatus, 10 or 6 mushroom combinations, are the main orally effective, beta glucan mushrooms. In one animal trial that did not use vitamin C, Agaricus Blazei seemed to be the best anti cancer beta glucan mushroom as they could use less mushroom to remove the cancer, compared to other mushrooms. Beta Glucan can also be derived from Bakers Yeast and because it is cheaper to grow yeast than mushrooms, this form of beta glucan is mush cheaper than mushroom derived beta glucan. Dr Mansell found tumors shrank in every patient when he used Yeast derived Beta Glucan. In some cases tumors were " strikingly reduced in size within five days " ...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 I'm taking Beta-1,3-D Glucan manufactured by A.J. Kanigan and distributed by Immune Choice. I got it through my naturopath. I'm trying to fight a staphylococcus infection and it's part of the protocol that my naturopath is using. I don't know much about it, though. I do know that when I first started using it I ran a fever of 102 the day after I started using it, but it was just that one day, and my occasional afternoon low grade fever has occurred since then, which I had before. I've been using it for about a week now, and so far I haven't seen much of any difference other than that one day of having the 102 fever. lindaj@...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Hi . First off, now that you have the test results indicating that you have a serious mercury problem, I hope that your detox program provides you with a lot of improvement. Keep us informed on how it goes. Second, ImmuneSupport.com or Pro Health (same entity) sells Beta 1, 3 Glucan as an immune stimulator. I have tried it because my immune function is so poor. I did not notice any benefit myself. But you can get a description of what it's supposed to do at their web site. Good Luck! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 I don't really " know " anything about it, but my doctor, who tends to follow this stuff, once recommended it for me when I had bronchitis and was trying to avoid both pneumonia and antibiotics. He said not to take it long-term, as it might (might, mind you, I don't think there's any research) make a PWC's reactive immune system too strong and more reactive. I think he also feared my body adjusting to it so it would be less effective, and useless in an acute case such as I was having then. He also said most beta glucan products were useless. The stuff I bought from him was very expensive (sorry I don't remember the brand)--and I don't think he carries it anymore, so I think perhaps he did not get good results from it with his patients, but I can't swear to that. As for me, my bronchitis got worse and I had to go on antibiotics after all. I later bought 2 bottles of the GNC brand, just for the hell of it, and it did nothing for me or my family's regular winter colds. Beta glucan Hello, I keep running across Beta glucan in various places in regard to building the immune system, but it is one of the few things I have not tried. Anybody here tried it with success?

" they claim " i dont think i had any change while on it , though i tried it for many months.. i tried the expensive brand and the cfids buyers club brand.. i stopped taking it as didnt feel it was helping. my immune system at that time had very low or no natural killer cells and always high igg levels when panels were taken. somish.

I make no claims about Beta Glucan, but would like to pass on a letter I recieved from a lady with Lymphoma recently. She writes: " I used Beta Glucan for five weeks. Before I started, I had a CD8 Blood test. Then again after the five weeks. My helper T cells had increased. " Of course that doesnt prove anything, but I post it just as additional anecdotal information. This is not the first person to have told me their immune status has improved, according to their blood tests. best wishes, moonbeam ----------------------- Hi, I have been using Beta Glucan for quite awhile now at 3000 mgs a day plus 9000 mgs of Vitamin C to make it work. I don't know what effect it has had on the cancer but I surely know that it has beefed up my immune system. It is especially helpful on older people. Fortunately I bought a kilo from Dr. Borman a short while ago. She then wrote that a big company bought up 31 patents on it and it is no longer available as it was. The price has jumped to $450.00 a kilo and she isn't able to handle it anymore. Cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
