About This Book<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

For decades beta glucan has been known to scientists as a plant constituent. For over twenty years now it has been studied for its favorable biological effects on mammals. It has been common knowledge in the scientific community that beta glucan is the most powerful immune stimulant known, is a very powerful antagonist to both benign and malignant tumors, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, normalizes blood sugar levels, heals and rejuvenates the skin and has many various other benefits.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Yet in 2004 still no one has bothered to write a book on the subject. There have been a couple of incomplete attempts to write small pamplets that merely skim the surface. Go ahead and search the Internet for anything on “beta glucan” and see what you get. Search amazon.com and barnes&noble.com and you’ll get the same result. I went back to 1980 in the main scientific reference journal of the world Chemical Abstracts, the “Scientists Bible”- and went over every listing for the last twenty-four years. Every relevant abstract was copied, every important study was obtained and translated from foreign languages when necessary. All these were collated and put together in to this easy to read, plain English short book. Why not, say, a 200-page book? Because that was unnecessary and most people just aren’t going to take the time to read a long book. All you need to know is in here. Everything you need to know and more is in this short book. It won’t take you long at all to read it, and after you read it I hope you’ll decide to take beta glucan for the rest of your life like I have. This is one of the most important supplements you can take to be healthy, have strong immunity and live a long life.

Chapter 2: Nature’s Strongest Immunity

Enhancer <o:p></o:p>

__________________________________________________ __<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

You have heard about exotic, bioengineered supposed wonders of medical science like “interferon alpha” for enhancing immunity that are priced out of the reach of any but the rich. The truth is that interferon has been a toxic, overtouted failure from the beginning, and that the strongest immunity enhancer on earth has been known about for over twenty years now. Nothing rivals beta glucan for immune enhancement. No substance on earth manmade or natural has the published studies to back it up like beta glucan does. In the following pages you will see the last fifteen years of published research to prove this to you. The many patents will not be included since so many studies are available.

<o:p> </o:p>

At <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Tulane</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in <st1:City><st1:place>New Orleans</st1:place></st1:City> in 1987 (International Journal of Immunopharmacology v. 9, pp. 261-7), researchers showed that beta glucan enhanced the production of both interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) in rats. Their plasma levels of IL-1 and IL-2 were measured after this was given. They concluded, “Thus beta 1,3 glucan will enhance IL-1 and IL-2 production and elevations in lymphokine production can be maintained up to 12 days.” (Higher lymphokine levels stimulate the immune system.)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the INRA research center in <st1:place><st1:City>Touloose</st1:City>, <st1:country-region>France</st1:country-region></st1:place> in 1989 (Annals of Veterinary Research v. 20, pp. 165-73) fungal glucans were studied for their immunopotentiating activity in mice and the researchers said they, “favorably affect the non-specific host defense and cellular immune response in mice.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At Tokyo College Pharmacy in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Japan</st1:place></st1:country-region> much work was done over the years on glucans. In 1989 (International Journal of Immunopharmacology v. 11, pp. 761-9) they gave oral glucan from mushrooms (Sclerotinia) to mice and found this, “enhanced the activities of both natural killer (NK) cells in the spleen and the lysosomal enzyme of peritoneal macrophages.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

A very impressive study using malaria was done at <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Rangaraya</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName>Medical</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in <st1:country-region><st1:place>India</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1990 (in the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology v. 28, pp. 901-5). Malaria (Plasmodium berghi) was injected into mice and death was prevented in most of the ones receiving the glucan while the untreated ones died. They said, “The results suggest that glucan potentiated both limbs of immunity and both were involved in the host defense against malaria.” Malaria is very prevalent in the poorer topical countries.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>MacArthur</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> for Tropical Diseases in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1991 (Parasite Immunology v.13, pp. 37-45) deadly Leishmania major germs were injected into mice. Some mice were given yeast beta glucan, which mitigated most of the effects of this devastating bacteria. They concluded, “The anti-Leishmania antibody titer of glucan treated mice was lower and their sera recognized fewer antigens than that of control Leishmania bearing mice.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the famous Karolinska Institute in <st1:City><st1:place>Stockholm</st1:place></st1:City> a very good study was done in 1991 on real human natural killer (NK) cells (European Journal of Immunology v. 21, pp. 1755-8). They used human NK cells, which actually bind to the beta glucan and they concluded, “The function of NK cells was also potentiated by preincubation with beta glucan. The treatment increased the proportion of target-binding lymphocytes and of the damaged target cells in the conjugates.” In plain English it made the NK cells more powerful and effective.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>university</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Californa</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> at <st1:City><st1:place>Davis</st1:place></st1:City> in 1992 (International Journal of Immunopharmacology v.14, pp. 767-72) mice were studied for their immune responses. It was found that beta glucan was an excellent “adjuvant” which is an immune enhancer that augments immune response. The found, “glucan and lipovant present effective adjuvant alternative, to Freund’s complete adjuvant and may be of value in immunization against visceral leishmaniasis” (Leishmania infantum was the bacteria they used in this experiment).<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the Tokyo College of Pharmacy in <st1:City><st1:place>Hachioji</st1:place></st1:City> in 1993 (Biology Pharmacy Bulletin v. 16, pp. 414-9) mushroom beta glucan called OL-2 was studied on mice for their specific immune responses including white blood cells, tumor necrosis factor, bone marrow cells, colony stimulating factors and other parameters. They said, “These facts suggested that OL-2 could enhance nonspecific host defense mechanisms by enhancing hematopoietic responses…” In other words in beta glucan gives nonspecific immune enhancement by various means.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the Ustav Biofaktory in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>Czech Republic</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1993 (Biopharm v. 3, pp. 71-82) dairy cows were given yeast beta glucan in a double blind experiment. Various biological responses were measured and they found optimal doses to be given the cows to strengthen their immunity. In raising farm animals like cows, pigs, and sheep it is important to keep their immunity high so they will be resistant to disease. Beta glucan is an inexpensive way to insure the health of such animals.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Nippon</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName>Roche</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName>Research</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Japan</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1994 (FEBS Letters v. 348, pp. 27-32) researchers used a killer toxin called HM-1 for this experiment. They found that beta glucan interfered with the toxin action of HM-1. They reported, “Addition of HM-1 killer toxin with several kinds of oligosaccharides revealed that either beta 1,3 or beta 1,6 glucan block the cytocidal (toxic) action of HM-1 killer toxin…” Again, this shows that it does not matter whether the beta glucan is 1,3 which we are concerned with, or even the 1,6 configuration (which is also found in common foods) to be effective.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Purdue</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in <st1:State><st1:place>Indiana</st1:place></st1:State> in 1995 (Carbohydrate Polymers v. 28, pp. 3-14) 1,3 beta glucan was studied for configuration and structure in relation to immunostimulant activity. They reported their findings that, “Immunopotentiation effected by binding of 1,3 beta glucan molecules or particles probably includes activation of cytotoxic macrophages, helper T cells, and NK cell, promotion of T-Cell differentiation and activation of the alternative complement pathway.” In simpler terms they feel that beta glucan works by assisting macrophages, T-cells and NK cells work more effectively.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At SRI International in <st1:State><st1:place>California</st1:place></st1:State> in 1995 (Advances in Experimental and Medical Biology v. 383, pp. 13-22) scientists used beta glucan to enhance humoral (fluids like blood and lymph) and cell-mediated immune responses to viral proteins. They said, “Our studies in mice and rabbits demonstrated that co-administering viral protein with beta glucan produces immune responses of a higher magnitude than those elicited by the immunogens alone.”<o:p></o:p>

At the State University of Tennessee in 1996 (Proceedings-Beltwide Cotton Conference v. 1, pp. 285-8) researchers were aware that, “Glucans, isolated from natural sources, are known to stimulate humoral and cell-mediated immunity in humans and animals. It is now established that 1,3 beta glucans are recognized by macrophages and perhaps, neutrophils and NK cells via a 1,3 beta glucan specific receptor. Following receptor binding, glucan modulates macrophage cytokine expression.” This simply means they understand the way glucans work is by binding to macophages, neutrophils and NK cells and making them more potent in their defense of the body.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the James Quillen College of Medicine in <st1:State><st1:place>Tennessee</st1:place></st1:State> doctors published an overview of the immunology of beta glucan in 1997 (Mediators Inflammation v. 6, pp. 247-50). “It is now established that 1,3 beta glucans are recognized by macrophages and perhaps neutrophils and natural killer cells via a 1,3 beta glucan specific receptor.” Yes, these are some of the same doctors that attended the Beltwide Cotton Conference a year earlier; they now published a review in another journal.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

A study from the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Saskatchewan</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> took place in 1997 (Microbiological Immunology v.41, pp. 991-8) with oat glucans they called OBG. OBG was tested for its ability to enhance non-specific resistance to a bacterial challenge in mice. Survival in mice challenged with deadly Staphylococcus aureus was enhanced by a single dose of OBG three days prior to the bacteria being administered. “These studies demonstated that OBG possesses immunomodulatory activities capable of stimulating immune functions both in vitro and in vivo.” Staphylococcus is one of the most deadly of bacteria to mammals and for beta glucan to effectively resist this deadly microbe is very impressive medically. The National Veterinary Institute in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Sweden</st1:place></st1:country-region> (Journal of Veterinary Medicine B v. 50, 2003, pp. 121-7) verfied this with cows.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Another study at the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Saskatchewan</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region> in 1997 (International Journal of Parasitology v. 27, pp. 329-37) oat beta glucan was studied in mice. The deadly Eimeria vermiformis bacteria was given to mice and their immune systems were suppressed with the toxic drug dexamethasone. The immuosuppressed mice who received no beta glucan showed severe symptoms of disease and a 50 percent mortality, while minimal symptoms and no mortality occurred in the beta glucan treated groups. There were no deaths from Eimeria in the beta glucan protected mice! They summarized the results that beta glucan treatment strongly increased the resistance to Eimeria infection even when the immune system was chemically suppressed.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

In 1998 the people at the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Saskatchewan</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> (Microbiological Immunity v. 42, pp. 457-65) again studied OBG and this time on the deadly Eimeria vermiformis bacteria. Oat beta glucan given to mice raised their levels of serum Igs (immunoglobulins) and antigen-specific Igs (specialized immunoglobulins). One group was not given any glucan and the other group was before both groups were infected with the Eimeria. They said, “OBG appeared to up-regulate immune mechanisms and provide enhanced resistance against Eimerian coccidiosis in mice.” Again glucans saved mammals from death by a most deadly bacteria.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>National</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Hospital</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in <st1:City><st1:place>Oslo</st1:place></st1:City> in 1998 (Scandinavian Journal of Immunology (v. 47, pp. 548-53) more scientists studied mice. This time they were given beta glucan before being infected with the deadly Mycobacterium bovis bacteria. Mice treated with the beta glucan showed significantly lower numbers of bacteria in their bodies and especially in their spleens and livers. They said, “The results suggest that beta glucan has a protective effect against Mycobacterium bovis infection in susceptible mice.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Oat beta glucan was studied in mice at the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Saskatchewan</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> (FEMS Immmunology v. 35, 2003, pages 67-75). “In conclusion, the oral or parenteral oat beta glucan treatment enhanced the resistance to Staphalococcus aureus or Eimeria vermiformis infection in the mice. These studies suggest that immune functions may be up-regulated by both oral and parenteral administration of oat beta glucan and these enhanced responses may play an important role in providing resistance to bacterial and parasitic infection. Current pharmacological treatments for the pathogenic infections may be enhanced when combined with oat beta glucan administration.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the Slovak Academy of Sciences in <st1:City><st1:place>Bratislava</st1:place></st1:City> in 1999 (Carbohydrate Polymers, v. 38, pp. 247-53) doctors studied beta glucans from both yeast and fungus (Aspergillus) to see if they would stimulate immunity using live cells and sophisticated FTIR spectroscopy. They concluded that, “It has been found that the derivatives prepared reveal high mitogenic and comitogenic activities, as well as radioprotective and antimutagenic effects. ”In other words it stimulates immunity in four basic different ways.’’<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Yet again at the <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Saskatchewan</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> in 1999 (Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research v. 63, pp. 262-8) scientists studied beta glucan but this time on beef steers. They used the stand “OBG” extract from oats. They got varied results with different groups but the most interesting result was when the steers had they immune systems suppressed with dexamethasone the glucan overcame this very effectively. Very sophisticated parameters were measured including serum antibody responses, serum IgG (immunoglobin G) levels, blastogenic responses of blood lymphocytes, differential blood leukocytes as well as iron and zinc levels in the blood. They said, “When cells or animals were treated with dexamethasone, OBG significantly restored some of the specific and non-specific immune parameters studied.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

At the National Institute of Public Health in <st1:City><st1:place>Oslo</st1:place></st1:City> in 2000 (FEMS Immunology Medical Microbiology v. 27, pp. 111-6) doctors studied fungal beta glucan against deadly Strepococcus pneumoniae, a potent pneumonia strain. They called their beta glucan extract “SSG”. They said, “The data demonstrate that SSG administered systemically protects against pneumococcal infection in mice.” Of course you can’t ethically give one group of humans beta glucan and not to another group and then infect them both with deadly pneumonia, but there is no reason to doubt that this would also protect humans just as well. They later verified these results (Current Medicinal Chemistry v. 2, 2003, pp. 135-46) and said, “Thus, in the future, biologically active polysaccharides that stimulate the innate immune system, may prove to be useful alternative compounds in the fight against respiratory tract and other infections.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Anthrax is not the most effective biowarfare agent for the simple reason it is not communicable as are such infectious agents as smallpox and Dengue Fever. Nevertheless it is still widely used in warfare. Two studies show the effectiveness of beta glucan in protecting us against anthrax. An article in Medscape General Medicine (v. 5, 2003) was on mice given oral beta glucan in their drinking water before being injected with Bacillus anthracis spores. The ones given the glucan fared far better than the ones who weren’t. “These results demonstate the potential for beta 1,3 glucan immune modulators to provide a significant degree of protection against anthrax, a potential biological warfare agent.” Another study in the Journal of the American Neutraceutical Association (spring 2002) was about the Canadian Department of Defense study. Mice were given oral yeast beta glucan and then injected with anthrax spores. “This important scientific contribution demonstrates the potential benefits of this nutraceutical product against the bioterrorism agent anthrax.”<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

The <st1:place><st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName>Strathclyde</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> in Glascow did a fine review on animal and human studies with beta glucan International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms v. 5, 2003, pp. 95-110). In addition to the proven immune enhancement benefits they said, “Recent research has also shown that some of these mushroom-derived polymers may possess direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells.” Soon we will be studying beta glucan for treating various forms of cancer naturally.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Over two dozen clinical studies done at well known research facilities over the world and published in top scientific journals should convince you this is the most potent immune potentiating substance known to science. It is safe, natural, effective and inexpensive with no known side effects. You will see more studies done on humans to verify what we know about animal research.<o:p></o:p>

So, how does one acquire beta glucan? What is the most concentrated natural form? You mentioned oats, we Scots love our porridge and somebody told me it was a good anti-depressant.

[Infidel]

My former roommate worked in health industry for 20 years. he has this shelf with books he collected over the years. DHA, 5-HTP, CoQ10, Cox-2, Red Yeast Rice, Melatonin... i can not remember more but this is about 1/8th of the supplements there. Each year there is more than one that

"most powerful immune stimulant known, is a very powerful antagonist to both benign and malignant tumors, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, normalizes blood sugar levels, heals and rejuvenates the skin and has many various other benefits."

Anything that cures everything in the sales brochure is less than effective in reality

[Large Sarge]

I tend to be skeptical myself....

But the reality is that the studies were done literally all over the world, over 20 year time frame, and at respected scientific sites.....
and unlike a pharmaceutical agent, this stuff cannot be patented, and so no one profits from the outcome the studies..........


I am convinced it is real......

They have never said why oat meal lowers your cholesterol, they just say "Eat more oat meal"


it is the tiny amounts of Beta Glucan in the oat meal that do it.....


besides, the stuff is absurdly cheap......

$10.00 for a bottle of 60 tabs, 200 mgs each

1 tab a day for a person, unless you have chronic condition, then it is 2-3 tabs daily.....

either way it is pennies a day

think about what a prescription would cost, say you cholesterol meds, or your antibiotic.........

Ever hear of Iodine?

This isn't a booster, it is part of the immune system.

Nearly everyone is deficient as the soils are played out and most people do not live near the oceans where the greatest concentrations are.

Think about it, what happens when a nuclear powerplant threatens to blow?

The emergency crews run out with Iodide tablets.

What the hell is that all about. How is a tablet supposed to protect you from radioactivity?

Well, it turns out that nearly all of us are deficient in iodine and when the nuke goes, some of the release is radioactive iodine and when this gets to your body, it gets assimilated as regular iodine and accepted by the receptors.

But when a dose of iodide from the tablets is taken in, this dose fills all the receptors in the body and eliminates the deficiency. This allows the body to pass the radioactive iodine with other toxins.

Many toxins will latch onto the iodine receptors in the body and create problems. Flourine, chlorine, and bromine are three of the worst offenders.

And to make matters even worse, those three toxins are relatively prevalent in our polluted society.

Dr. Lugol back in the 1800's treated virtually every human disease with a liquid concoction that he developed. This concoction is 7.5 mg of iodide (usually as potassium iodide -- but can be sodium iodide) and 5 mg of iodine in distilled water. This dose is the recommended minimum necessary for healthy immune systems and a thriving thyroid.

This same concoction is sold today in a pill form.

Iodine is a normal component of every cell in the human body. But if you disdain iodized salt, you will have a problem getting even the miniscule 150 micrograms (about one one hundredth the dose above)!

What do you think?

I can't wait to go on!

Iodine is good for treating water also!

[Large Sarge]

Regarding Iodine,

I remember reading awhile back, that one way to test your deficiency, was to apply some medical iodine on your skin, say a "Quarter or half dollar size", cannot remember the exact size), but if your body absorbed the iodine over a 24 hour period, then you were deficient...

my variables may be off (time and amount), but the premise is the same as Jerry's...

this was years ago I read this.

Just got done with the 24 hour load test for iodine/iodide and must send the samples to the lab for testing.

Will let you know how my results turn out.

Hoping for the best.

So iodine-fortified salt is inadequate? I was under the impression that iodized salt provides more than the required daily amount...

I found a site that seems to have what the article said to buy ( BETA GLUCAN 1,3/ 1,6 Glucan, 60 capsules, 200 mg) and it has a buy 2 get one free sale going on now.. http://www.youngagain.com/betaglucan.html

By they way I am not affilliated with the site. I read the booklet, did a google search and that was one of the sites.

The WHO and the US Government set the limit. How much do you trust them?

It is true that not all people have to take more than they get from their diets.

Japanese eat a lot of ocean fish and get about 25 milligrams a day. This dose is roughly 175 times as much as WHO recommends for a daily dose.

The daily dose was originally set up as the MINIMUM to prevent goiter.

And even at that minimum goiter prevention dose thyroid disease conditions are becoming one of the fastest growing problems in the world.

Obviously if goiter problems are epidemic and the most important key to healthy thyroid gland production is iodine, then the minimum gotten through iodized salt is not enough.

I burned myself with iodine once working on my dad's dairy farm. I was a kid and grabbed a bottle that my dad had not diluted. When I put it on the calve's navel which we did so they wouldn't get infected the thing kicked.

Some went around my wrist and it burned off a few layers of skin!!!!

Had a wring around my wrist for weeks.

I am wondering if this could not be better absorbed if possible to take from sprouted oats and pressed?

I have a friend who survived the bomb at Hiroshima. He's about 80 and attributes his lack of simptoms to traditional diet, including miso soup, which contains lots of sea salt and SEAWEED. The Japanese that ate the traditional diet after the bombs fell had much less radiation sickness than others.
