Marlene' 1,3 1,6 beta glucans are natural sugars extracted from primarily yeast cell walls, but are also found in oats, barley, mushrooms etc. They work by stimulating and making your immune system more efficient. Vitamin C taken in conjunction further potentiates the immune system. There has been a lot of research into this substance, but not much interest shown by the medical profession. Quite big in the cosmetics industry though.
Works well in resolving skin cancer. Some reading for you follows... Regards - Ivan. http://www.tldp.com/issue/184/Yeast%20Derived%20Beta.htm "Glucan anti-tumor effect can be local or systemic. A local injection of beta-1,3-D-glucan suspension into melanoma lesions has been shown to successfully resolve the tumor locally (Mansell, 1978). In these human experiments, the site of injection revealed no previously established tumor, but plenty of macrophages filled with pigments. Obviously, macrophages were drawn to the site where they phagocytized and destroyed pigment-bearing tumor cells. These intralesional injections in some cases were able to control further growth of remote metastasis of the same tumor which resumed growth after glucan treatment withdrawal. Unfortunately, no clinical applications were developed out of these results until recently (Carrow, 1996). The latest data contains very promising information, not only in regard to human melanoma, but also to basal cell carcinoma." http://www.arrowheadhealthworks.com/B13GRsh.htm http://neuro-www.mgh.harvard.edu/forum_2/CongenFiberTypeDisproF/9.28.9 97.58PMMEDICALPROOF.html -----Original Message----- From: Marlene Hanson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 4 April 2002 7:07 a.m. To: *Silver-List* (E-mail) Subject: Re: CS>Silver Compounds and electrobiological/electromagnetic response Hi Ivan, What is 1, 3, Beta Glucans and would this work for skin tumors?

Bioelectrics, chemical potential, pH are all measures of the same thing from different perspectives. Cancer cells are the most positively charged of all cells because they are the most acidic. Being acidic means a high concentration H+ ions (high positive charge and low pH). Cancer cells become highly acidic as a result of nutrients crossing from a more acidic than normal extracellular fluid (plasma) which causes a break down in the cellular channels which in turn does not allow oxygen to pass into the cell. Without oxygen energy production changes from oxidation to fermentation, the product of which is lactic acid which accumulates and thus causes a large drop in pH. Diet plays a great part in the pH of the extracellular fluid. Cancer cells cannot grow in alkaline environments, because in these environments oxygen is abundantly available and mutated cells either lie dormant or die. Calcium is the most important mineral in maintaining a healthy and buffered serum pH, and ultimately the bioelectric condition of tissue. Vitamin D is essential in the absorption of calcium. A diet which pays attention to these facts, and is otherwise sensible, will be well protective against cancer. Large cancerous growths can be pretty readily eliminated through the high pH method, skin cancers respond well to this also, or can be well treated by the injection of 1,3 beta glucan into the base of the cancer mass. I personally don't see the point of attempting electrical treatment, but wish you luck, and look forward to discussing a successful treatment.
