This Whey Protein v. Other Whey Proteins
Whey Protien
Q. What is Immunocal composed of?
A. Immunocal is a patented, undenatured, lactose-free whey product that has undergone extensive research, including over 340 published scientific studies and review articles, and has been clinically proven to be the safest, most effective way to increase and maintain the body's serum and tissue Glutathione (GSH) levels.Q. What is Immunocal composed of?
A. Immunocal is composed of the same basic proteins found in human breast milk. A one-pouch serving consists of 9 grams (or 90%) Protein, 0% Fat, l% Sodium, 0% Carbohydrates, 60 mg (or 6%) Calcium, 4 micrograms of Selenium, 30 mg of Potassium, 4 mg of Iron, and approximately 40 Calories.Whey Protein and Immunity
Q. How does Immunocal affect immunity?
A. Immunocal promotes optimal functioning of the immune system by maintaining effective levels of glutathione in the body's lymphocytes.Lymphocytes
Q. What exactly are Lymphocytes?
A. Lymphocytes are white blood cells primarily involved in supporting the body's natural immune system by multiplying themselves and producing antibodies. In order to do their job effectively, they require adequate Glutathione levels.Glutathione
Glutathione protects not only individual cells but also the tissues of the arteries, brain, heart, immune cells, kidneys, lenses of the eyes, liver, lungs, and skin against oxidant damage. It plays a role in preventing cancer, especially liver cancer, and may also have an anti-aging effect.
Q. What is Glutathione?
A. Glutathione is is a protein that is produced in the liver and is the body's master antioxidant. It is a tri-peptide of amino acids (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid), which prevents free radical damage, protects against damaging effects of pollutants, poisons, and carcinogens, aids in regulating and recycling other antioxidants like Vitamins C and E in adequately doing their jobs, helps detoxify foreign chemical compounds, protects against ultraviolet radiation, is imperative for and improves protein synthesis and amino acid transport within the body, and maintains optimal immune function. It helps to defend the body against damage from cigarette smoking, exposure to radiation, cancer chemotherapy, and toxins such as alcohol. As a detoxifier of heavy metals and drugs, it aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders
Glutathione neutralizes oxygen molecules before they can harm cells. It is also a component of another antioxidant enzyme, glutathione –S-transferase, which is a broad-spectrum liver –detoxifying agent.
Cysteine
Q. What is Cysteine?
A. Cysteine is a rare, essential amino acid that is a natural precursor of glutathione. Without cysteine, glutathione cannot be synthesized or fabricated by the body's cells. Cysteine, or Glutathione, taken by mouth in pill form is not well absorbed and eliminated by the liver before reaching the blood stream, and injected Glutathione is unstable in the blood stream; by the time it reaches the cells, much of it has been degraded and much of what remains cannot effectively pass through the cell membrane.Low Glutathione Levels
Q. How do low Glutathione levels affect the body?
A. Low glutathione levels are associated with all acute and chronic illnesses and are found among the elderly, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and those suffering from autoimmune and immune deficiency diseases.Conditions Associated with Low Glutathione Levels
Q. What conditions or diseases are associated with low Glutathione levels?
A. The following conditions are all associated with low Glutathione levels:
Acetaminophen poisoning, ADHD, Addison's Disease, aging, AIDS, alopecia Areata, ALS, Alzheimer's Disease, anemia, Anklosing Spondylitis, Arteriosclerosis, arthritis, asthma, autism, autoimmune disease, Bechet's Disease, burns, cacexia, cancer, candida, cardiomyopathy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, colitis, coronary artery disease, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, Crohn's disease, eczema, emphysema, Epstein Barr Viral Syndrome, fibromyalgia, free radical overload, Goodpasture Syndrome, Graves' Disease, heavy metal poisoning, liver disease, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, high blood cholesterol, herpes, infertility, infections (viral, bacterial and fungal), inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, macular degeneration, malnutrition, Meniere's disease, multiple sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, heurodegenerative diseases, nutritional disorders, Parkinson's disease, Pemphigus Vulgaris, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, progeria, psoriasis, Rheumatic Fever, Sarcoidosis, scleroderma, shingles, stroke, surgery, toxic poisoning, trauma, vasculitis, and vitiligo.Cancer
Q. Is there a glutathione-cancer connection?
A. Yes. Glutathione acts as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, detoxifying pollutants and poisons as well as carcinogens in the body and protects against ultraviolet radiation. This whey protein significantly raises the body's glutathione levels. And normal levels of glutathione inside the lymphocytes themselves are necessary for the efficient functioning of the body's immune system - the multiplication of lymphocytes and production of antibodies. This whey protein is a non-toxic aid to these ends. Animal experiments showed concentrates of whey protein to have an anti-carcinogenesis and anti-cancer activity, and case reports suggest an anti-tumour effect of whey protein in some urogenital cancers. In one study, a whey protein diet appeared to significantly influence the development of chemically induced colon tumours and the short-term survival of mice. Among studies conducted, glutathione from whey protein has been demonstrated to kill breast cancer cells in vitro.
Also, it is important to note that a deficiency of glutathione is a common finding in patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.Asthma
Q. How is asthma affected by glutathione.
A. In studies, reduced levels of glutathione peroxidase have been observed in adults with asthma. Asthmatic inflammation results in increased oxygen free radical generation, and glutathione is a powerful antioxidant itself, as well as assisting other important antioxidants in their efficiency.HIV and AIDS
Q. What about glutathione deficiency and HIV-infected and AIDS patients?
A. Glutathione is necessary for healthy immune response and is an antioxidant. HIV infection is characterized by an enhanced oxidant burden and systemic deficiency of glutathione. One study with glutathione-deficient patients with advanced HIV-infection showed increased plasma glutathione levels with short-term oral supplementation with whey proteins. Evidence from recent studies suggest that cysteine supplementation may be a useful adjunct to HIV infection therapy.Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Q. I've heard about this whey protein being used by people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
A. Dr. Paul Cheney, one of the early physicians who recognized Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a distinct organic disease in the mid-1980's and has been involved in its research since then, describes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as amazingly complicated and believes glutathione deficiency to be the key problem, especially over time with these sufferers. He describes the patients in his clinical studies with why protein as having a very consistent, positive clinical response.
Q. Have you personally witnessed any improvements with this illness?
A. Yes. One of our clients went on a trip a week after she began taking this whey protein. She had been suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since 1980 and had to be transported through the airport in a wheelchair. During her week away, and for three weeks after her return home, she continued taking this whey protein daily. The increase in her energy level and stamina was obvious, her multiple chemical sensitivities greatly reduced, and a month after beginning to take this whey protein l she went on another trip, this time walking on her own through the airports and even tolerating well the fumes of traffic in New York City.
Q. How much whey protein did this person take to achieve these results?
A. Well, she had read Dr. Cheney's interview, and started out with one packet and didn't think she sensed any real improvement so she moved on to two, where she was certain she did feel a change, but decided to go for it and has chosen three as her personal protocol, though her illness is very long-standing. Over the years she has used every non-toxic therapy reported to bring improvements and, having reached a plateau, nothing had helped for a very long time until she began taking this whey protein .Osteoporosis
Q. Does whey protein help osteoporosis sufferers?
A. Studies conducted in Japan (in-vitro), indicated that whey could stimulate osteoblasts (bone cells) to produce more bone, thereby increasing bone density.
HOW IS IMMUNOCAL DIFFERENT?
Dr. Gustavo Bounous in conjunction with a medical team at McGill University developed a method of extracting the milk protein isolates without damaging or changing their delicate structure. Both mechanical stress and heat can break down the critical bonds that bind these delicate proteins together. Nearly all milk protein supplements on the market today use a pasteurization process that changes the shape and ultimately destroys immune function. Immunotec Research has developed a light pasteurization process that maintains the protein bond and shape, therefore preserving the GSH-enhancing properties. This product and process was later patented and named Immunocal.
Immunocal is manufactured in the United States and packaged in Canada. A dairy was selected in the United States that utilizes the most pure and natural practices. The herd is fed a diet free of antibiotics, additives and pesticides. Therefore, Immunocal is manufactured under the most natural of conditions.
Immunocal contains less than 1% fat and lactose, making it suitable for those that are lactose-intolerant.
A SOURCE OF PRIDE!Immunocal is patent-protected worldwide to ensure the highest standards : 7 North American patents and numerous international. Immunocal is eligible for Medicare/Medicaid coverage and reimbursement. Immunocal is one of the few over-the-counter products to be included in the U.S. Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR) and the Pharmacists’ Red Book.
A NEW PARTNER IN NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT
IMMUNOCAL® is a pharmaceutical-grade milk serum protein isolate that produces a sustained delivery of cystine to the cells via normal metabolic pathways.
By providing cystine, IMMUNOCAL® allows the cells to synthesize and replenish their glutathione stores without adverse or toxic effects.
IMMUNOCAL ® is specially prepared by a proprietary method so as to retain its "biological activity."
In a double-blind clinical study, lymphocyte glutathione values increased by 35,5% using IMMUNOCAL® (p< .01) with no increase in control subjects fed casein. Additionally, muscular performance (measuring Peak Power and 30-sec Work Capacity) increased by 13% (p< .02).2
