Why a Noble Laureate Studied Immunocal
Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute was one of those honored this year with the Noble Prize in Medicine. Dr. Montagnier earned the prize for being the primary discoverer of the HIV virus. Montagnier is also an important figure in the adoption of Immunocal as a nutritional supplement for HIV patients and other people experiencing immune system stress.
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!
