| In addition, IP-6, which is soluble and can be administered in drinking water, is rapidly absorbed through the stomach and upper small intestine, where it becomes quickly dephosphorylated within the mucosal cells and is distributed to various organs. 143 Another important study has shown IP-6's ability to exert its antineoplastic effects by significantly reducing large intestinal cancer in rats even though treatment was begun five months after carcinogenic induction. This demonstrates IP-6's potential use as an important chemointervention agent.144 |
| Lactobacillus Brevis |
| Lactobacillus brevis, also referred to as Lacto Brev, is a concentrated extract of a Japanese pickle called the suguki. Experts at the Pasteur Institute of Kyoto found that this extract boosted interferon production 65 percent in four weeks and increased natural killer-cell activity by 57 percent. |
| Studies have shown that interferon capability is lower in people with cancer as well as in those with diabetes and pulmonary tuberculosis. Studies have also shown that an effective cure rate and the ability to prevent cancer can be greatly enhanced by raising the natural production of interferon. The administration of interferon as an immune-activating agent has been used to treat chronic hepatitis and has recently been approved as a treatment for various cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia and some low-grade lymphomas. The problem with this therapy is that it is not extremely effective and causes many unwanted side effects, such as flulike symptoms, gastrointestinal disturbances, fatigue, and bone marrow suppression. Moreover, the long-term side effects of interferon are unknown because it has not yet been used for an extended period of time. Dr. Tsunataro Kishida of the Pasteur Institute of Kyoto has shown that taking Lacto Brev orally increases the body's natural production of interferon. Lacto Brev has also been shown to significantly enhance natural killer-cell production.145 |
| I have found Lacto Brev very effective at boosting interferon levels; however, some people have complained it makes them feel like they have a low-grade fever. I recommend Lacto Brev for a number of cancers, including lymphomas, leukemias, and brain tumors. I usually suggest taking it in doses of 3 capsules three times daily, every other day. On the nights when Lacto Brev is taken, I recommend drinking 2 to 3 cups of a diaphoretic tea, such as |
