AUGMENT, HELP AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM© Dr. Deb Baker 2008 Page 3 of Dr. Deb's Immune System Pages
Boost Your Immune System..Support ProductsThis page is about immune system support products and what you as an individual can do for yourself, your family and even your pets...all living things respond to the support I'm going to outline here. First and foremost in my regime is always Beta Gold developed and manufactured by A.J. Lanigan in the US. His product has been tested time and time again by third party testing (they have no ownership in the product or financial interest) and it has come out on tope every single time. I can also attest to the fact that in my nearly 3 decades of practise, no other product has helped the immune responses of my patients like this product. Many people know of Mannatech's pseudo-beta glucan product..Ambrotose. As an immune supplement, ambrotose (glyco) doesn't come close to Beta Gold. Here is a link on my Beta page to a study done, illustrating this fact. Read Study Here Independant Research on Beta GoldMedical doctors and Ph.D's at Brown Medical School and Rhode Island hospital have published another peer-reviewed medical article on our soluble Beta 1,3-D glucan and the specific way it performs in the immune system. This type information is invaluable as we seek to unravel all the ways that we can help to maintain & enhance the immune system and its response(s) to challenge. Many excellent discoveries came out this work. Two issues are the incredibly safety of the product and significant speculation on how Beta 1,3-D glucan increases the speed at which the key immune cells arrive at the site of challenge. They report that soluble beta 1,3-D glucan binds to receptors (CR3) on neutrophils, the most abundant type of innate immune cell in the body. This both increases the killing capacity of the neutrophils and benefits migration or chemotaxis to the site of an infection or challenge. Neutrophils are attracted to the site of an infection by blood proteins called chemoattractants and are among the first cells of the body to respond to a challenge due to infection or injury. Priming the neutrophils with beta 1,3-D glucan increases their ability to sense complement fragments emanating from the site of an infection, according to study leader Jonathan Reichner. As a result, beta glucan helps neutrophils locate the bacterial mother lode within an infected tissue. This more rapid response to infection results in faster microbial clearance and healing.

Beta Gold..(Beta Glucans)..Outperforms in the 5 Major Functions of The Immune SystemBeta Gold has been shown to directly increase hematopoiesis. Hematopoiesis is the process by which you bone marrow produces stem cells. Stem cells are one of the most vital needs of your immune system, because stem cells ultimately become white blood cells. Specialized types of white blood cells are called phagocytes; these include macrophages, neutrophils, and eosenophils. One function of these phagocytes is to engulf invaders (or any foreign substance) immediately, without question. This process is called phagocytosis. These cells are described in detail on my Immune System Page Phagocytosis..(eat up cellular debris) has also been tested and shown to be enhanced by our Beta Gold. The phagocyte’s ability to engulf foreign substances is very important. The faster phagocytosis happens, the more debris the phagocyte can destroy. When a phagocyte digests an invader, it notifies the proper authorities (T cells), to let them know there is a foreign substance present. The T cells decide the best action to pursue in order to relieve the body of this foreign substance. Once the phagocyte presents the debris of the invader, the T cells have several options:
If the T cell initiates a cell mediated immune response, all phagocytes that have flocked to the site of infection are assisted by other specific white blood cells. This charge of cells is called chemotaxis. Chemotaxis has been tested and shown to be enhanced by our Beta Gold. When the phagocytes reach the site of invasion, they produce reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) and reactive nitrogen intermediates (NOIs). These ROIs and NOIs include hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO), and are very important in helping the phagocytes to rapidly destroy the invader. Transfer Point’s Beta glucan has been tested and shown to help phagocytes produce more ROIs and NOIs. Therefore, the faster the phagocytes reach the site of invasion, and use ROIs and NOIs, the faster the intruder’s position is compromised. However, if the T cell initiates a humoral immune response, B cells are notified to create plasma cells, which create antibodies to fight the infection. These antibodies are actually chemicals designed to tag a specific invader, and take about 21 days to fully develop. When the antibodies are ready, they are sent out to target the specific substance for which they are made. Until these antibodies are ready, it is up to the innate immunity to directly come in contact, hand to hand combat, and ultimately engulf the intrusive substance. Innate immunity is what keeps you alive, until acquired immunity is established. In some cases, a person’s immune system programs itself to rely too much on a humoral (antibody) response versus a cell mediated immune response. Beta gold has been tested and shown to correct an over-shifted humoral response to a cell mediated immune response. Anecdotal evidence and theory suggest this is helpful in allergies, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
