Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 First of all, it is NOT ImmuniCOW but " Immunocal " and you totally misunderstood the product. One " daily dosage " as you call it, cost $2.50 including tax and shipping. I take 4 a day. You do the math. It cost me less that a meal at the restaurant. I take 4 because of my osteoporosis issue and found that going up and down 20 steps every half hour, I am not out of breath as when I take one packet. You have to understand your cellular system is in competition with your skellatel system for the glutathione. It is $59.40 wholesale for a 30 day supply, add taxes and shipping you come up little less than $65. How much is your quality of life worth - 5 or more meds a month with negative side effects, and at what cost? Much less that a pack of smokes ! Immunocal is a bonded cysteine dietary supplement. BONDED CYSTEINE describes a unique molecular structure with special properties. Centenarians have a very low glutathione level because your bodies(cells) don't produce. You have not given them the building blocks. DId you know that if you juice (fresh juice) carrots, minimum 6 glasses a day, that you would raise your glutathione. If you have major health issues, try 8 a day. For you guys who don't have an outside job out there, get yourself a juicer, do something about your health ! LOL (I work 8 hours a day on a job, I juice only on week-ends). Body builders us a protein powder to build muscle mass, no cysteine in that. I do not take any meds, not even an aspirin, that was my goal and I have achieved it ! From: Duncan Crow Longevity Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:12 PM Subject: Re: Re: Without Meds . . . . Gaston made a salient point with price of Immunicow; a daily dose of 10 grams ($60 plus shipping monthly) is adequate for maintaining glutathione in healthy people, which would be good for longevity, proven out with the study that showed centenarians are not glutathione depleted but always have higher than average glutathione values. But the driving force in most health discussion groups is the desire to BECOME well; alleviating existing disease with undenatured whey might require double or triple dosing even with Immunicow. A good quality undenatured whey concentrate or concentrate- isolate mix doses out at 28 to 36 grams per scoop; you'd use it twice daily to get glutathione levels up. Body builders commonly use around 80-120 grams daily in addition to regular food. At Immunicow prices these doses would be cost-prohibitive for most working people so a lot of people realize their glutathione goal, and make their whole regime more affordable, by reducing the whey cost right off the bat.

I'm well aware of the play on the name.

I deal with many people who prefer to spend less on whey powder and more on other supplements. > I take 4 because of my osteoporosis issue and found that going up and > down 20 steps every half hour, I am not out of breath as when I take > one packet. You have to understand your cellular system is in > competition with your skellatel system for the glutathione. Every free radical and toxin source is in competition for the glutathione. With respect, your skeletal system is part of your cellular system; I'm not sure what you're saying there. All those cells make their own glutathione; if anything they compete for precursors. > It is $59.40 wholesale for a 30 day supply, add taxes and shipping you > come up little less than $65.

That's just marketing talk and I think we have dealt with the overpricing topic. You can justify your personal decision just like the rest do. > Immunocal is a bonded cysteine dietary supplement. BONDED CYSTEINE > describes a unique molecular structure with special properties. Bonded cysteine is not at all special; ALL undenatured wheys contain it. From my web site: " When undenatured, alpha- lactalbumin contains 4 cystine residues; serum albumin has 17 cystine residues and 6 glutamylcystine (Glu-Cys) dipeptides, and non-denatured lactoferrin has 17 cystine residues and 4 Glu-Cys dipeptides. Each cystine residue is TWO cysteines in bioavailable form. " So, all you have to do is find out the components of your whey to determine how much bonded cysteine you're getting. > Centenarians have a very low glutathione level because your > bodies(cells) don't produce. You have not given them the building > blocks. Glutathione production apparently drops in the elderly just as growth hormone release drops; it may be related to that, I don't know. In some people it drops more slowly than in others; these people live longer on the same historic diet with the same glutathione precursors, in the same village. But you're right, even people with reduced natural glutathione production can improve it by optimizing precursors and generally optimizing the body by making it more youthful. This is possible at almost any age. > DId you know that if you juice (fresh juice) carrots, minimum 6 > glasses a day, that you would raise your glutathione.

LOL (I work 8 hours a day on a job, I juice only on > week-ends). The cellular glutathione sparing you're referring to is accomplished by antioxidant increase and also by reducing free radical production by changing the dietary oil to more saturated fat and less (if excessive) omega-6. I don't care much for carrot juice but other antioxidant-rich juices will work fine, and if you don't want the carbs that carrots contain you could use a lower carb antioxidant or a vitamin C tablet. > Body builders us a protein powder to build muscle mass, no cysteine in > that. I think that's more marketing talk; if we compare apples to apples, ALL undenatured whey protein powders contain glutathione precursors. I've been instructing readers on how to choose good undenatured whey powders for at least six years. > I do not take any meds, not even an aspirin, that was my goal and I > have achieved it ! I'm glad it's helped you, but you still have osteoporosis so therefore your own program is incomplete even at $300 per month. Another thing thast concerns me is that you feel the need for four packets of Immunicow. That makes me think you probably have a chronic toxin load, and the biggest source of this kind of problem is bad bowel bacteria in dysbiosis. Some of the dysbiosis organisms can be discouraged by components in whey, but dietary inulin, a fermentable fiber, restores correct bowel ecology and improves the malabsorption that may be behind your osteoporosis. Further, osteoporosis responds favourably to increasing growth hormone levels; I've had the research on it on my website for years. Maybe you need to see those savings on a whey product after all Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Duncan you gave a detailed response to H.R.Blais. I always love reading your posts.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Duncan : As always, I am extremely impressed with your alternative health and nutrition knowledge and knew that H. R. Blais was " messing in the nest " with his comments. However, you did raise an interesting issue with your response that I'd appreciate your clarifying: I don't juice very much... it is just too time consuming. However, my ORP meter tells me that carrot juice is an extremely good natural anti-oxidant.source, averaging about -250 mv, and I have never seen another natural source come up to it. Also, Dr. Max Gerson, one of my heroes, used it extensively and with astounding effect, in his cancer treatment, so my question is: Why don't you like it? >I don't care much for carrot juice but other antioxidant- >rich juices will work fine, and if you don't want the carbs that carrots contain you could use a lower carb antioxidant or a vitamin C tablet.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Jim, I like vegetables but not carrot juice. It's not a question of how good for me raw carrot juice is but whether I can approach it in other ways. I've never owned a juicer. I have Charlotte Gerson's presentation to the Cancer Control Society on video but still I don't juice. I do use whole vegetables, primarily cooked, plus antioxidant supplements, undenatured whey and selenium. Have you tried the ORP meter on Megahydrate? It's my father's favourite.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Duncan: You bet!!! I use a lot of MegaHydrate (5 -7 tabs/ day) and it shows an ORP reading of -900 when I put it in my green tea. However, I was not considering it as " natural " in this context. Dr. Flanagan may disagree since he claims that it is essentially the same as glacial milk. MegaHydrate is the only thing that has ever controlled my classic migraine. Thanks for asking... I love crowing about it (pun intended). Tell your Dad what I said. Cheers, Jim > Jim, I like vegetables but not carrot juice.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Jim: I thought it was odd that my father said out of all the supplements, he could feel a difference only when he stopped taking MegaHydrate; normally you can't relly feel the orthomolecular treatments that quickly, but I guess it was one of the right ones for him. Maybe it was instrumental in stopping his fatal autoimmune disorder; we were doing a lot of things so we'll never know. He's not taking it any more and he's not depreciating.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Which autoimmune diseases did your dad have? Congratulations to you both on his success. As a side note, I have MegaHydrate sitting my my drawer. I didn't perceive any benefit from it.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Father originally had osteomyelitis of the leg -- a super-infection passed by a BC hospital -- and after a year of high-dose antibiotic he was facing amputation. We cleared it in a few weeks with electromedicine because I had both O Becker's Body Electric and Bob Beck's electromedicine HIV protocol out to study at the time. Meanwhile the wasting was noticed, perhaps triggered by the abx, and just under 2 years later was diagnosed as inclusion body myositis, which is fatal in 4 years on average. We stopped it essentially with my anti-aging protocol, and Father has not been wasting for 8 years.
