Immunocal: The Top Immune Enhancement Product

Immunocal (formerly known as HMS-90 in Canada) is a whey protein isolate that delivers cysteine: the biochemical precursor to the key antioxidant glutathione. Our bodies manufacture glutathione, but their ability to do it depends on the cysteine our metabolisms use as raw materials. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals: chemicals that damage our cells on the molecular level (see our article about antioxidants for a more detailed discussion). Taken as directed, Immunocal can prevent cell damage that inhibits our immune systems. Immunocal is used by people with compromised immune systems and athletes alike to maintain their immune systems even while under extreme physical stress. In many other cases, ordinary people have attested to feeling better while taking it, too.

Omega-3 with Turmeric

You can buy Omega-3 with Turmeric on its own or as a part of the Daily Essentials Pack, combined with our Vitamin and Mineral Supplement and Pure Milk Calcium.

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that modern diets provide low levels of, relative to the fatty acid Omega-6. If these fatty acids are out of balance, your body fails to take advantage of their natural anti-inflammatory and other immune enhancement properties. An Omega-3 supplement is important because it restores the balance between the two essential fatty acids. Turmeric contains the active ingredient of curcumin: a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that inhibits viral replication in laboratory studies.

Which Should I Get?

With its scientifically proven effectiveness, Immunocal is the most effective immune enhancement supplement we sell.  If you are older, an athlete or have a history of illness we especially recommend it. Otherwise, if you’re serious about supplements, this is for you.

Omega-3 with Turmeric is a gentle, healthy general wellness supplement, especially when you combine it with the other components of the Daily Essentials Pack. Omega-3 is an important dietary supplement that will ensure that you get the most out of anything you eat. If your main health focus is diet, you should consider it. Additionally, it interacts well with Immunocal, since they each hit different aspects of your total health.

Whatever you choose now is a great time to get serious about your immune system — because this is the season where it really gets challenged.

Our first experience with Immunocal - the event that made us want to share it with other people – didn’t start with illness. Be Well Or Else proprietor Dr. Catherine Owens suffered regular, severe muscle cramps in her calves during her regular running program. In 1998 she gave up running because nothing she tried could get rid of the cramps – until she started taking Immunocal. That’s when her calf cramps passed and she got back to running.

Everyone from elite athletes to fitness buffs report similar successes after adding Immunocal. (Take a look at an article about boxer Steve Molitor using Immunocal for an example.) The source of these benefits is glutathione: an amino acid that reduces muscle fatigue and shortens recovery time after a bout of physical exertion.  Multiple studies show that exercise depletes glutathione levels, so scientists studying human performance examined whether glutathione supplements would trigger athletic improvements.

Research has been promising but before Immunocal, there was an important problem to consider: Glutathione can only be effectively administered through injections. Our bodies naturally create it, so they aren’t adapted to absorb it orally. Fortunately, scientists have known for some time that our bodies build glutathione out of dietary cysteine. Immunocal is a bioactive cysteine supplement, so it gives us the raw material we need to create glutathione. When that happens, the results on athletic performance can be spectacular. One study of Immunocal showed a 13% increase in muscular work capacity and peak power in subjects who used it along with a fitness program.

You may not be an elite athlete or exercise fanatic, but Immunocal will benefit you as well. Maintaining muscular strength and endurance is one of the core elements of a healthy lifestyle, and grows especially important as we age, since it allows us to stay active and prevent injuries.  That’s why we use and recommend it, and why we’d like to offer you Immunocal at a discount.

Before the modern age it wasn’t hard for your melatonin cycle to synch with your sleep. People went to sleep soon after it was dark and woke up with the sun. This fit the way melatonin naturally ebbs and flows through your body, because it’s controlled by your pineal gland. The pineal gland is a light sensitive system located near the center of your brain. It senses light transmitted from your retinas through your optic nerves. When it senses low light levels it releases melatonin, which makes you sleepy.

These days, artificial light interferes with the pineal gland’s natural function. It doesn’t know when to increase melatonin levels and as a result, you may find it difficult to sleep. Aging may also be a culprit, as the pineal gland shrinks and can even calcify as we get older. These and other factors such as stress and shift work mean that many people don’t have melatonin levels that back up the sleeping they want to do.

Decreased melatonin levels may interfere with more than just your ability to sleep. Melatonin is an antioxidant, so it serves as a protective factor against cell damage. One study indicates that sleeplessness and shift work are associated with increased cancer rates. This may stem from poor melatonin levels that not only prevent proper sleep, but don’t impart protection to your body’s cells. Other studies have found possible links between low melatonin levels and Alzheimer’s, autism, ADHD and perhaps most relevant for this time of year, seasonal affective disorder.

Melatonin supplements are being considered as possible treatments for all of these health problems, but for the average person coming into the winter season, proper sleep is probably the most relevant thing melatonin can help you with. Cherry Tart Concentrate is a natural source that might do more than just help you sleep, because melatonin affects your health on so many other levels.

Ever since discovering HIV in 1983, Montagnier has been well-known as one of the world’s foremost authorities on conditions that can enhance or suppress the immune system. In particular, he’s investigated the role of antioxidants and nutrition in treating HIV. In this interview he discusses the prevalence of oxidative stress in HIV sufferers. In particular, he talks about his work investigating cysteine (the precursor to the antioxidant glutathione) as a way to slow the progression of HIV. Noting the depressed glutathione levels in HIV patients, Dr. Montagnier advocates cysteine supplementation as a part of HIV treatment. Immunocal provides this cysteine supplementation, which is why it’s at the heart of so many of these investigations.

Accordingly, in 1997 Dr. Montagnier was one of the editors of Oxidative Stress in Cancer, AIDS and Neurodegenerative Diseases, which was based on a conference on the role of free radicals in a variety of illnesses. The book records important work demonstrating Immunocal’s effectiveness in treating depressed glutathione levels in AIDS and cancer patients. Read an excerpt here.

This research paved the way for a general understanding of Immunocal’s antioxidant and immune enhancement effects. These apply to people with serious chronic illnesses but they aren’t the only ones who benefit from increased glutathione levels. Stress and environmental factors can depress the immune systems of people who are fairly healthy otherwise. That’s why Immunocal can work for you. Try Immunocal today and see for yourself!

Guarana: Guarana is a close relative of caffeine that also promotes improved breathing, circulation and thermogenesis (the rate which your body “burns” stored energy) without the jitters and addictive potential of caffeine.  This makes it popular for weight control as well as herbal energy.

Glycerophosphate Minerals: Xtra Sharp includes the glycerophosphate forms of calcium, iron, and potassium - all essential minerals. It performs a function missing from other energy drinks, by dealing with the dietary aspects of your energy needs.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa): Alfalfa contains vitamins A, B, C, and K, and is a natural source of calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Like its minerals, Xtra Sharp’s Alfalfa provides dietary support for increased energy.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Dandelion is an oral anti-inflammatory, useful for preventing or treating joint or injury related ailments. Lab studies indicate that it may also be useful in lowering blood cholesterol levels, which promotes proper circulation.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng): Ginseng is a core treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. The herb is known to regulate the immune system and stimulate hormone production.

Polygala (Polygala senega): This herb clears breathing passages by stimulating mucus membranes. It’s long been used by native North Americans to treat respiratory ailments and promote energy.

Sarsaparilla (Smilax aristoloch): Sarsaparilla is perhaps best known as an herbal remedy for psoriasis. This application comes from the same properties that help it support an energetic lifestyle, as the active ingredients in the herb bond with endotoxins: bacterial fragments left in the body. Thus, the herb helps you flush these energy-reducers out of your system.

Zinc is distinct among natural wellness treatments in that there is a great deal of mainstream medical literature suggesting that it can at least ameliorate cold symptoms. This medical study is one of several that support the use of zinc as a cold treatment. The jury’s not out yet, but something good is happening, and using zinc for this purpose is actually more practical than Vitamin C, which demonstrates its best effects in “megadoses” that might not be palatable for the average person. You should also take zinc in moderation; high doses (such as you find in lozenges) sometimes have annoying side effects like stomach upset. The best solution is to take it regularly, in moderate doses. That’s the role our vitamin supplement plays for general immune enhancement. Our formulation combines zinc with Vitamin C, a B-complex and mineral nutrients.

Zinc is for more than just colds. It’s a neurotransmitter, antioxidant and is used by your body for vital biological functions. For example, the zinc finger chemical structure binds to DNA to relay genetic information. (Note, too, that the zinc finger commonly binds cysteine, so proper zinc levels maximize the effectiveness of Immunocal/HMS90, which provides cysteine supplementation for immune enhancement). So no matter the season, it’s a good idea to take zinc regularly.

Omega-3 is called an essential fatty acid (EFA). Unsurprisingly, EFAs are derived from vegetable and animal fats (solids) and oils (liquids). Unlike other, non-essential fatty acids, EFAs do more than provide calories for fuel. They power basic biological processes, including:

• inflammation response
• your immune system
• mood regulation

Your body can’t make EFAs. You have to consume them in your diet - and that’s where things get tricky. There are two EFAs - Omega-3 and Omega-6 - and they interact in your body. You need to strike a balance between them for your body to function properly. Unfortunately, modern diets take in far more Omega-6 than Omega-3, leading to a number of health problems. For example, one Omega-6 byproduct promotes inflammation. Controlled inflammation is a good thing because it’s an essential part of healing, but as anyone with a recent injury or arthritis knows, excess inflammation is painful, even debilitating.

Numerous studies show that an Omega-3 supplement has broad health benefits that influence everything from joint health to weight control. The Daily Essentials Pack bundles Omega-3 with turmeric to combine Omega-3’s benefits with the anti-inflammatory properties of curcurmin, turmeric’s active ingredient. We explained curcurmin’s benefits in a past article. If you review them, you’ll see that it promotes many of the same health effects as Omega-3. Take them together and you may feel a powerful boost to your well being.

It’s a Low Calorie Energy Drink: Original Xtra Sharp has just 15 calories. The X5 flavor has 30 calories. Compare that to Red Bull, which offers 110 calories in a standard can.

It’s a Low Carb Energy Drink: Xtra Sharp’s X5 flavor features just 11 grams of carbs per serving, compared to 28 calories in a can of Red Bull.

It’s a Salt Free Energy Drink: You might not associate a typical energy drink with sodium, but it’s in there. Xtra Sharp is anything but typical. Compare that to the whopping 200 mg of sodium you’ll find in a can of Red Bull.

It’s a Sugar Free Energy Drink: Neither flavor of Xtra Sharp features sugar. Most energy drinks have prodigious amounts of it to give you a short-lived energy boost. The sugar also rots your teeth, contributes to diabetes and promotes obesity, of course.

It’s the Energy Drink with Potassium - and More: Potassium is a vital “energy ingredient.” Unlike the supplements in standard energy drinks, potassium has a proven biological function.

Potassium is just one of Xtra Sharp’s component supplements. Dietary iron, alfalfa, chamomile and dozens of herbal and nutritional ingredients offer long term benefits beyond the quick boost you’d get from other drinks. People who take it regularly often report a general increase in their well-being. Wouldn’t you rather feel better all the time, instead of a couple of hours after you drink something?

Surviving and Appreciating Your Healing Experience

First it is important to know that the people who experience uncomfortable healing reactions are in the minority. Second, it is important to appreciate that a person who has a noticeable detoxification reaction is likely to experience profound health benefits in the long run.

If you experience detox discomfort you have three possible options:

1) Drink water! Drink water! Drink water! And by the way, DRINK WATER to help flush out the toxic debris.

2) Just keep going with HMS 90 / Immunocal and tough it out. Some people are delighted that the toxins are finally clearing out their system, and they want to continue to cleanse as fast as possible. Rest assured that the detoxification will proceed rapidly and the uncomfortable effects are usually short lived.

3) Cut back, but don’t discontinue, the daily amount of HMS 90 / Immunocal. Find a level where the experience of detoxification is acceptable for you. Some seriously toxic and reactive people start with as little as 1 teaspoon of HSM 90 / Immunocal per day, and slowly increase from there.

Detoxifying with a GSH Enhancer

GSH (glutathione) is clinically documented to neutralize free radicals and toxic substances and carry them out of your body. HMS 90 / Immunocal is clinically documented to support the creation of GSH within the cells. As of this writing, 65,000 medical research papers are available relating to glutathione and different health conditions. See http://www.pubmed.com.

HMS 90 / Immunocal is produced from cow’s milk, minus the cheese-protein (casein), butterfat, and 99% of the lactose. If you can digest any dairy products, you can digest HMS 90 / Immunocal. If you experience “symptoms” of any sort when using HMS 90 / Immunocal, it is a promising sign of detoxification. These “symptoms” are typically short-lived. HMS 90 / Immunocal is not “making you sick”. The only people who should not use HMS 90 / Immunocal are those with a full organ transplant who are using cyclosporine to prevent organ rejection.

Dairy products produced from standard pasteurized milk have lost their GSH building blocks and their capacity to help detoxify your system. HMS 90 / Immunocal is created under unique pharmaceutical-grade conditions. It is carefully designed to preserve the GSH building blocks in the milk. It is also a superior source of bioavailable protein. When you take HMS 90 / Immunocal, your cells manufacture the GSH they need and do their “internal closet cleaning”.

Celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Your Health! Bonne Santé!
