“Serious diseases such as AIDS or cancer continue to be a major health concern. New flu strains are emerging faster than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can document, and the traditional flu vaccines are becoming less and less effective. Clearly, despite all efforts and resources, science and medicine cannot keep up with ever emerging and transforming infectious microorganisms. Antibiotics can serve as an example; their overuse created more virulent and more resistant strains of bacteria, making infections acquired in hospitals one of the leading causes of death. Allergies, cancers or autoimmune diseases are the result of dysfunctional immune systems. At the same time, however, it is clear that the speed of our healing is dependent on a fully functional immunity. Natural remedies and immunostimulators are therefore more important than ever.”

“Glucans are extremely beneficial to people undergoing chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs are drugs that kill cells indiscriminately. The hope is that they will kill fast-dividing (i.e., cancerous) ones more quickly than healthy ones. But healthy cells are very much under attack. This is why people become so weak. Their immune system pretty much disappears. Whereas taking Glucan will protect your immune system cells while allowing the drugs to do their job on the cancerous ones. The production of white blood cells will start again very quickly after your chemotherapy treatment, thus you will recuperate a lot quicker. Studies have also shown increased survival times when compared to those who did not. So, the summarize: when people take glucans at the same time as chemotherapy, they have less side effects, do not feel quite as ill, and the effects of chemotherapy are greatly improved. In other words, the treatment is more likely to work.”

“The most important aspect is to either manufacture or purchase glucan from a solid source and control the quality, the purity, and the biological activity. Beware of middle-men and, if possible, buy directly from the manufacturer or from resellers with clearly demonstrated connection to the manufacturers. In order to obtain the relevant information, it is imperative to get through the smoke and mirrors of unsupported or sometimes pseudoscientific claims about glucan offered. There are some telltale signs that should immediately raise a red flag. One of them is a full database of glucan papers without any direct proof that the research was done using the Beta Glucan which the company is actually selling. It is very easy to find dozens of papers describing the significant effect of glucan, but if the particular study was not done for the glucan of interest, it is not relevant to the claim. Similarly, some retailers are hiding behind the patented manufacturing processes, which are legitimate points, but they rarely support the claim about the quality of the product, since they describe the manufacturing process and not the biological activity.”
