Remember, the Boston Globe isn't " under anyone's thumb " when it comes to

being conscientious. Remember - they fired Mike Barnicle for a small " white

lie " in one of his stories just a few months ago. They DO check out their

sources religiously, and if they find ANY grain of inaccuracy or untruth,

they won't publish it.

and, if you want a " genuine " cancer cure from your local MLM part-time-hobby

dealer, you can buy your cure from Eladio at:

http://www.freeyellow.com/members2/innetent/bio11.html

Now, in all honesty, do you REALLY want to bet your life on a cancer-cure

sold through MLM? Really now, is your idea of a cancer cure in the same

ballpark as all those other MLM scams?

hi susan! low NK function is pretty common in us. an NK count is

irrelevant, because it doesn't matter if you have 3,000 of them, if

they're not working. they are our first line of defense against herpes

viruses and cancer. amazingly enough, we don't routinely drop dead from

these illnesses. mine was 4 when it was first tested. my daughter's

was 11. my doctor said he had patients with 0, 3, and 8, too.

the reference range for " normal " is 20 to 250. my dr. said he hasn't

seen a healthy person at 20. he has very ill patients in the low 100

range too. it's possible that 3oo-400 something is more healthy/normal.

mark konlee's keep hope alive website has a lot of info about this.

my daughter's was 40 last august after about 7 mos. on the formula 560

TF. she's still on it, and just had another test done. i'll let y'all

know the results when we get them. some people are raising their NK

function somewhat with MGN3, and some other things i believe. i also

think that peggy (are you there, peggy?! :-) are monitoring this with

DMSO.....

<<< I have a question to ask about the results of a test Dr Cheney had

me take. The test is the Natural Killer Cell Function Assay which was

done at the U of Miami.

He said that I had zero NK cells. Also, the lab copies sent to me had

zeros with

exclamation points after them, like this 0!

Can anyone bring me up to speed on CFIDS and NK cells. And if anyone has

had 0!'s >>>

Thank you Carol S, Carol in Li and Debbie,

Cheney did explain the th1-th2 model to me. He subtley alluded the danger..

the sitting duck idea and his plans for me is an ISAC asap, begin Heparin

if called for, and then add both Formula 560 and Isoprinosine. I think that

my question is really about my fear of what could happen with 0! NK.

Dr Cheney also wants my 15 year old to be tested and go on Isoprinosene

with Somatomed(Vespro)

Thank you all, I appreciate your clear insight.

(I-Newswire) - September 24, 2005- According to the American Cancer

Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death in children and

leukemia is one the most common cancers claiming their lives. In

2005 the American Cancer Society estimates 34,810 news cases of

leukemia and a staggering 22,570 lives will be claimed to this

disease. Traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and

surgery are common for patients to experience with poor side effects

and poor quality of life. A new immunotherapy is changing the fate

of leukemia patients while promoting a better quality of life.

Immunotherapy is the use of the immune system to fight off chronic

diseases, such as cancer. Many strategies of immunotherapy have been

developed over the last two decades, with more recent research

focused on the infusion of white blood cells, the backbone of the

immune system, into patients. In the immunotherapy process these

white blood cells are activated and expanded outside the body in an

attempt for them to target tumor cells. This strategy is called

adoptive immunotherapy. Extensive research has shown that three

types of white blood cells seem to be the most potent at fighting

tumors. These cells include natural killer cells ( NKs ), natural

killer T cells ( NKTs ), and cytotoxic T lymphocytes ( CTLs ).

Natural killer cells are particularly key in fighting cancer, as they

are the body's first-line defense against cancer and viruses.

Natural killer cells have the ability to recognize and kill these

cells by attaching to them and injecting a type of cellular poison

that breaks the cells apart. They can also recognize cancer cells

that have spread ( metastasized ) from the primary site of disease.

Leukemia has posed interesting questions to researchers in the field

of immunotherapy because leukemia is a cancer of white blood cells,

and most immunotherapy strategies try to increase the ability of

white blood cells to fight cancer. Only very recently have adoptive

immunotherapy strategies become available for patients with

leukemia. The major hurdle was being able to isolate normal, non-

leukemic cells that could fight against cancerous cells.

Published research has confirmed that natural killer cells, natural

killer T cells, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes can indeed be isolated,

expanded and activated from the blood of patients with leukemia.

Although patients with acute lymphoid leukemia ( ALL ) or chronic

lymphoid leukemia ( CLL ) have very few normal lymphocytes,

successful expansion of natural killer cells, natural killer T cells,

and cytotoxic lymphocytes was noted.1-5 These cells could also be

generated from patients with acute myeloid leukemia ( AML ) or

chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML ), whose lymphocytes are non-cancerous

but typically dysfunctional.6-11 In almost all cases, the natural

killer cells, natural killer T cells, and cytotoxic lymphocytes

expanded from leukemia patients were able to kill tumor cells in

laboratory tests.2-4, 6-11 There is strong evidence that in acute

leukemia patients who have gone into remission, the ability of their

natural killer cells to kill cancer cells in laboratory tests is a

strong indicator of continued remission.12 Those patients with

higher natural killer cell activity had longer remission periods than

those with lower natural killer cell activity.12

A recent clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota

utilized natural killer cells in patients with poor prognosis acute

myeloid leukemia. 5 out of 19 patients experienced complete

remissions after receiving these NK cell infusions.13 The use of

natural killer cell therapy in earlier stage patients is being

considered due to these results. In other published scientific

studies, the presence of activated NK cells and other tumor-fighting

immune cells have been found to be key factors in the response of

cancer patients to drugs such as thalidomide and Gleevec.14,15

The latest and most advanced immunotherapy is found in sdale,

Arizona. Envita Natural Medical Center, a clinic focused on natural,

non-toxic, researched based care currently utilizes natural killer

cells, natural killer T cells and T lymphocytes as supportive

immunotherapy for cancer patients. Envita's therapy, 4NKT, grows a

patient's own antitumor immune cells into the billions. These cells

are analyzed for activation markers, tested for their ability to kill

cancer cells in the laboratory, then reinfused into the patient. The

infusion of activated natural killer cells is much more effective

than any indirect stimulation of natural killer cell activity.

Backed by scientific research and clinical results, 4NKT offers a

powerful option for leukemia patients who are looking to fight cancer

while keeping their immune system intact.

go to the website of the IDF..Immune Deficiency Foundation...they have some

wonderful publications you can order or download....from basics to more

involved...One of their largest publications explains it all, all the components

of the immune system...and details about each disorder or deficiency.......They

have a great website....sue

I am trying to make sense of my 10 y/o son's recent labs. He had a lymphocyte

subset panel.

His Natural Killer cells were low at 67/uL (low) R.R. (78-470)

Absolute CD45RO 186 (low) R.R. 220-1000

He has low IgG and low IgG3 and low IgA. So far, we have only been told that he

has PID.

Does anyone know if there is a website I can go to just to look up labs

specifically relating to immune deficiency.

Thanks!
