Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think you have to deal with the fundamentals first ie Glutathione and Methylation as Rich has explained before ramping your immune system up when your body is heavily toxined...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi Ellen, I don't know about the Th1/Th2 issue in regards to Proboost, but I do normally have the exact same problem you describe with immune stimulators. However, I can tolerate Proboost well, and trust me I tolerate almost no supplements. I can't say it makes a huge difference, but sometimes it definitely makes me feel a tiny bit better. Because it's quite expensive and the results aren't remarkable for me, I don't take it continuously, but keep some on hand and have a sachet every now and then when I'm absolutely at death's door. > > Does anyone know whether ProBoost's effect on the immune system can be > classified as TH1 or TH2?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hi Ellen, I did not see any mention of TH1 or TH2, but there are many pages of reports, I would bet there is some information it For me for many years I did not know what was causing my pain. It wasn't until I tried immune suppressants, witch made it 100 times worst, that I could tell in minutes. (Its stuff like the gas heater, tap water, eating the same food several days in a row, stuff like that.) One ex sample would be on a very cold night the heater came on much more, and the next day I would be very sore. This site has lots of information, on proboost. http://www.proboostmed.com/faq.html#1 11. Is ProBoost® a drug? ProBoost® is not a drug. The product is a naturally occurring substance within the human body. ProBoost® contains the same protein produced by your body’s thymus gland which naturally regulates the immune system. Return to Top 12. Have any negative side effects been reported? No serious side effects have been reported. In a few cases, people have experience very mild like flu symptoms when first starting ProBoost®. Shortly thereafter the symptoms subside. These initial symptoms occur because by taking ProBoost® you are activating the immune system. This seemingly negative effect is actually the beneficial effects of your own immune system to fight. Return to Top 13. Does ProBoost® have any competition? There are no orally active patented Thymic Protein A products available. There are, however, a number of oral capsule/tablet thymic proteins in unpurified form sold in health food stores. These products are mixtures of many thymic proteins and all have the inherent problems of degradation by stomach acids and potential side effects from interaction of proteins. I went to the fibromyalgia center a few months ago. They gave me about 8 things to take. But when I got poisen ivy only proboost made a difference. And I noticed that takeing more proboost, because of the poisen ivy, I started to do better than just getting bye. (3 times a day is the recommend amount.) Since my biggest problem is a night I'll take it before bed, when I wake up in the middle of the night and again when I first wake up in the morning.

Thanks, Ellen >>The thymus gland, which is the centerpiece of the immune system, gradually decreases in size and functionality beginning at age three.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have found that whatever increases my energy level is likely to also increase pains. Except for, now, the pitutary extract I have been taking. I believe it has helped me also to decrease my caloric intake, thus losing weight, which is probably decreasing pain, esp in my joints. Adrienne ProBoost's effect on the immune system Does anyone know whether ProBoost's effect on the immune system can be classified as TH1 or TH2? Have those of you who have tried it found that it decreases pain? My concern is that some immune stimulators I have tried have increased my pain level even as they increased my energy level.
