Ask Lewis: What Is Beta Glucan
How to build your natural immunity
Non-prescription use of medicinal herbs among cancer patients is common around the world. The alleged anti-cancer effects of most herbal extracts are mainly based on studies derived from in vitro or in vivo animal experiments.
In my own situation, having been diagnosed with Stage 4 Bladder Cancer I have organized a large range of supplements to help build my immunity against cancer.
One of these supplements is Beta Glucan
Benefits were found in clinical studies for:
- high cholesterol levels,
- diabetes,
- cancer,
- and HIV/AIDS.
Because it seems to be vital for peak functioning of the immune system, it is recommended for people with chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, both physical and emotional, and for those receiving chemotherapy or radiation.
Besides baker’s yeast, the most popular source, glucans are found in mushrooms, oats, barley, and microalgae with all of these claiming some benefits. However, yeast-based glucans have shown by far the most powerful and widespread results.
