Awesome call

We had an awesome call last night with some great speakers. Here is the video link Immunotec. Well worth the time to listen. Would appreciate some feed back as to what you all think. Immunotec has also released the following research.

Some research published recently - underpinning our brain platform 

A Cystine-Rich Whey Supplement (Immunocal®) Provides Neuroprotection from Diverse Oxidative Stress-Inducing Agents In Vitro by Preserving Cellular Glutathione.
Winter AN, et al. Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2017.
Show full citation
Abstract
Oxidative stress is a principal mechanism underlying the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. Therefore, nutritional enhancement of endogenous antioxidant defenses may represent a viable treatment option. We investigated the neuroprotective properties of a unique whey protein supplement (Immunocal®) that provides an essential precursor (cystine) for synthesis of the endogenous antioxidant, glutathione (GSH). Primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs), NSC34 motor neuronal cells, or HT22 hippocampal cells were preincubated in medium containing Immunocal and then subsequently treated with agents known to induce oxidative stress. Immunocal protected CGNs against neurotoxicity induced by the Bcl-2 inhibitor, HA14-1, the nitric oxide donor, sodium nitroprusside, CuCl2, and AlCl3. Immunocal also significantly reduced NSC34 cell death due to either H2O2 or glutamate and mitigated toxicity in HT22 cells overexpressing β-amyloid1-42. The neuroprotective effects of Immunocal were blocked by inhibition of γ-glutamyl-cysteine ligase, demonstrating dependence on de novo GSH synthesis. These findings indicate that sustaining GSH with Immunocal significantly protects neurons against diverse inducers of oxidative stress. Thus, Immunocal is a nutritional supplement worthy of testing in preclinical animal models of neurodegeneration and in future clinical trials of patients afflicted by these diseases.

Immunocal® and preservation of glutathione as a novel neuroprotective strategy for degenerative disorders of the nervous system.
Review article
Ross EK, et al. Recent Pat CNS Drug Discov. 2012.
Show full citation
Abstract
Oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) depletion are both recognized as significant contributors to the pathogenesis of many devastating neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, mitochondrial dysfunction leads to the aberrant production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are capable of oxidizing key cellular proteins, lipids, and DNA, ultimately triggering cell death. In addition to other roles that it plays in the cell, GSH functions as a critical scavenger of these ROS. Therefore, GSH depletion exacerbates cell damage due to free radical generation. Strategies that increase or preserve the levels of intracellular GSH have been shown to act in a neuroprotective manner, suggesting that augmentation of the available GSH pool may be a promising therapeutic target for neurodegeneration. This review discusses the capacity of a cystine-rich, whey protein supplement (Immunocal®) to enhance the de novo synthesis of GSH in neurons, and highlights its potential as a novel therapeutic approach to mitigate the oxidative damage that underlies the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, this review discusses various patents from 1993 to 2012 both with Immunocal® and other methods that modulate GSH in neurodegeneration.

Cysteine-rich whey protein isolate (Immunocal®) ameliorates deficits in the GFAP.HMOX1 mouse model of schizophrenia.
Song W, et al. Free Radic Biol Med. 2017.
Show full citation
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder that features neural oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) deficits. Oxidative stress is augmented in brain tissue of GFAP.HMOX1 transgenic mice which exhibit schizophrenia-relevant characteristics. The whey protein isolate, Immunocal® serves as a GSH precursor upon oral administration. In this study, we treated GFAP.HMOX1 transgenic mice daily with either Immunocal (33mg/ml drinking water) or equivalent concentrations of casein (control) between the ages of 5 and 6.5 months. Immunocal attenuated many of the behavioral, neurochemical and redox abnormalities observed in GFAP.HMOX1 mice. In addition to restoring GSH homeostasis in the CNS of the transgenic mice, the whey protein isolate augmented GSH reserves in the brains of wild-type animals. These results demonstrate that consumption of whey protein isolate augments GSH stores and antioxidant defenses in the healthy and diseased mammalian brain. Whey protein isolate supplementation (Immunocal) may constitute a safe and effective modality for the management of schizophrenia, an unmet clinical imperative.

The Immunotec SUCCESS FORMULA 10-3-1 and Do It Again We are sure you are getting excited about the possibilities. Successful people will always tell you that success takes effort and a bit of hard work. It is important that you have some targets of activity and a realistic vision of what you need to do to build your team. The Immunotec Success Formula is 10-3-1 -- Do It Again. Typically for every 10 people you invite to see the business presentation, you will schedule 3 appointments. Out of those 3 appointments you can expect to sponsor 1 new Consultant. What happens to the others? Some will become your customers and some will even give you referrals. Our most successful Consultants found that this simple but regular practice enabled them to reach their goal and achieve their “why” with increased consistency. It was also proven that this basic exercise was a key contributor to maintaining the activities required for new Consultants to succeed early in their career and structure the t

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

Image
This is a chapter out of Dr Gutman's book pertaining to Parkinsons Disease. PARKINSON’S DISEASE Also known as shaking palsy, Parkinson’s disease is one of North America’s most common debilitating illnesses.  It is often thought of as a disease of old age – one person in a hundred will develop it by retirement age, but half of them may have it by age 40. Parkinson’s disease develops progressively.  Nerve cells slowly degenerate in the part of the mid-brain that controls movement (the substantia nigra layer of the basal ganglia).  In normal health, messages from the motor cortex to the reticular formation initiate free movement, and neurotransmitters released from the basal ganglia in response to the same messages slow or dampen movement, providing the suppleness and dexterity we take for granted.  These two neurotransmitters are dopamine, which stimulates the damping effects, and acetylcholine, which inhibits it. SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES Its exact cause is usually unknown, bu

GLUTATHIONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ANTIOXIDANT.

Image
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE!!! READ ON... When asked to choose whether glutathione was the most IMPORTANT antioxidant or the most POWERFUL antioxidant, the answers were split roughly at 50/50. I can understand the confusion, but knowing the right answer is critical in understanding the unique role glutathione plays. GLUTATHIONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ANTIOXIDANT. It is NOT the most powerful antioxidant. Let’s look at this closer, and start with why it is NOT the most POWERFUL antioxidant. Ask the question: Whys did God, Mother Nature, or Evolution (pick one that fits your belief system) to allow for oxidation (oxidants, free radicals, oxidative stress, etc.) to exist in the first place? Because OXIDATION and FREE RADICALS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN OUR HEALTH! Without this force at work, our immune system would crash, cellular signaling would be disrupted and thousands of metabolic processes would be arrested. OXIDATION is a fundamental process of utilizi

Testimonial !!!

Ken Curvin recovers from COPD, final stages diagnosis I received a text from my sister-in-law at Easter, 2015 that my brother was being sent home from hospital in last stages of COPD and that there was nothing further they could do for him … her message said he won’t die today, or  tomorrow  but soon! Knowing that the Physician’s Desk Reference in U.S. states that Immunocal can help reverse COPD, and knowing how Immunocal had saved my life in so many ways, I headed up to the hospital to convince them he could be saved. My brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his 20s and smoked all of his life.  So between the smoking and many medications his system really needed detoxing, which is another benefit of Immunocal.    Also his glutathione levels were at an all-time low because he had just gone through many procedures for extreme heart problems. It took some convincing to get him to 6 packages (3 regular and 3 platinum), but once we did he started to stay awake more, his eyes cleared,
