AWESOME! I have been taking this product since 2001 when I had pneumonia and struggled to recover. My chiropractor recommended it, and I felt better almost immediately. Now, whenever I sense something coming on, I take it straight away, and the symptoms vanish within hours. This works brilliantly and is a superb alternative to antibiotics.

IP6 shows promise against prostate cancer
We explored how inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a natural compound, influences prostate cancer growth and development in a mouse model. Male TRAMP mice were given either regular water or a solution with 2% IP6 for 8-15 weeks, starting at different ages. Remarkably, IP6 treatment halted tumor growth at earlier stages and significantly reduced the incidence of aggressive cancer types by 55-70%.
Additionally, IP6 appears to target cancer stem cells, which play a role in tumor persistence and progression. In lab tests, IP6 reduced self-renewal in cancer stem cell clusters by about 90%. Overall, our findings highlight IP6's potential as a powerful tool in early-stage prostate cancer prevention.

READ THIS—MAX3 HELPS KILL GLIOBLASTOMA BRAIN CANCER. This product has put my Mum in remission from glioblastoma brain cancer! With MAX3, MSM, Frankincense pills, and black seed oil, her MRIs have been clear! This cancer was deemed a death sentence, yet here she is happily wearing her beautiful wigs. I have been advised to make her "eat" this all day. Her immune system is functioning exceptionally well and combating cancer. I firmly believe this product, among others, has kept her healthy and alive. While she is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she occasionally feels a bit "run down".

We explored the effects of intrathecal pemetrexed (IP) on lung cancer patients facing leptomeningeal metastases (LM), particularly after they had not responded to previous treatments with EGFR-TKIs. The study analyzed 50 patients who received a 50 mg dose of IP after their cancer progressed, looking closely at their clinical responses and survival outcomes over two years.
Remarkably, we observed a 64% clinical response rate, indicating that many patients saw improvements in their neurological symptoms and overall performance. The median intracranial progression-free survival was 5.3 months, while overall survival reached up to 12 months for these patients. Those who responded positively to the treatment experienced significantly longer survival compared to non-responders, which is encouraging for both patients and doctors seeking options after traditional therapies fail.
The treatment was generally well tolerated, with manageable side effects mostly related to myelosuppression and liver functions. Additionally, genetic testing revealed consistency between the tumors and the cerebrospinal fluid, which opens up further investigation into the underlying mechanisms of treatment resistance. Overall, our findings suggest that IP could be a promising option for patients battling advanced lung cancer with LM after existing therapies have stopped working.

Notable improvement

Last July, my small dog, 9 years old, was diagnosed with lung cancer and given only 4 months to live without treatment. She struggled to breathe, with frequent gagging. Chemotherapy nearly killed her, and it seemed metastasis had begun during treatment. After starting her on Max3 and a grain-free diet, I noticed a marked improvement. Over 10 months later, she is thriving, gagging just once each morning. Unfortunately, my local store switched to a less convenient version of my supplement, but I ordered the original online. I feel this change impacted effectiveness, so I supplemented it with immune boosters.

We explored the effectiveness of cat's claw in managing autoimmune disorders, specifically osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our review included various studies, focusing on its potential as a dietary supplement to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress associated with these conditions.
From the research, we found three studies that support the use of cat's claw, whether alone or in combination with other treatments, for patients suffering from OA. However, while some evidence exists, we noted that the effectiveness of cat's claw for RA isn't as robust.
It's important to recognize, though, that the full impact of cat's claw on autoimmune disorders needs more thorough research. Many factors, including varying responses to treatment, call for caution in making solid recommendations based solely on the existing studies.
Overall, while there’s promise in using cat's claw for managing autoimmune conditions, we should approach it with realistic expectations and an understanding that further investigation is necessary before solid conclusions can be drawn.

We investigated how a fungal polysaccharide extracted from maitake mushrooms can impact breast cancer. This treatment approach focuses on myeloid-derived suppressor cells, or MDSCs, which are known to help tumors grow by suppressing the immune response in cancer patients.
Our findings revealed that the maitake polysaccharide, referred to as GFI, significantly reduces the number of MDSCs in the bloodstream and tumor tissue in mice, resulting in slower tumor growth. Interestingly, GFI particularly targets a subset of MDSCs known as PMN-MDSCs, while leaving another type, M-MDSCs, largely unaffected.
We also observed that GFI not only clears out these immune suppressing cells but also revives and activates CD8 T cells, which are crucial for attacking tumors. This dual action enhances the body's natural defenses against cancer, suggesting that GFI could serve as a promising treatment option for breast cancer patients.
Altogether, our study sheds light on an innovative approach to battling breast cancer, further emphasizing the potential of natural compounds derived from mushrooms in cancer therapy.

Maitake improves diabetes-related liver health
We evaluated the impact of an alpha-glucan extracted from maitake mushrooms on mice with a model of type 2 diabetes. This study specifically focused on various health markers related to liver function and diabetes.
By administering two different doses of the maitake mushroom extract, we observed significant improvements across several measures in diabetic mice. The treatment led to reductions in body weight, fasting blood sugar levels, and harmful substances like triglycerides and cholesterol.
Notably, we found that liver functions improved as evidenced by increased levels of beneficial substances like glycogen and reduced oxidative stress markers. Additionally, we observed enhanced insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for managing diabetes effectively.
These findings suggest that maitake mushrooms may offer tangible benefits not only for diabetes management but specifically for protecting and improving liver health in affected individuals.

I initially used Nature's Way products for high ferritin levels, which were concerning due to my fatty liver. After two months on the product, my ferritin significantly decreased, and my liver function tests also improved, surprising me. I later tried IP6 Gold, but the decrease in ferritin became much slower. I plan to return to Nature's Way to see if the results can be replicated.

We explored the impact of inositol on cold stress in rapeseed, an essential oilseed crop affected by low temperatures. Notably, we found that inositol plays a significant role in enhancing cold tolerance in these plants by boosting calcium ion (Ca) influx.
Our study involved identifying various genes associated with inositol and analyzing their expression under cold conditions. Interestingly, inositol appeared to inhibit the expression of calcineurin B-like genes, which are involved in regulating calcium flow, suggesting a unique pathway through which inositol aids in cold resilience.
Additionally, when we overexpressed certain genes linked to calcium flux, we noted a stronger response to cold stress, further emphasizing the importance of the inositol-Ca pathway in facilitating cold tolerance in rapeseed. These findings not only deepen our understanding of how rapeseed copes with cold conditions but also present a potential strategy for enhancing crop resilience in the face of climate challenges.
