THANKS to Ivan for quite an education here! As for me, I was quite impressed by the fact that University of New Mexico -- which in September was named as America's major government-supported center for bioterrorism research -- was willing to accept a lecture by a manufacturer of beta-glucan. UNM is connected to Sandia National Labs, which of course is a heavyweight research center for all sorts of things. If not for the UNM/Sandia interest, I would not have had much interest, and might never even have heard of the stuff.
Since then I have found that 1,3 BC is often used here in Japan in conjunction with cancer therapy. I do not know how effective it is in this regard. The UNM research showed survival rates of anthrax-infected rats going from 20 (untreated) to 80 percent (given the BC.) The survival rate was enhanced also by continuous therapeutic dosing before exposure, suggesting that in a high-level threat environment, this might be something to take as a daily nutraceutical prophylactic against a range of potential bioterrorism agents. 1,3 BC is affordable, at least for me. BTW, please post a link to your site if you are selling the product, Ivan; I think it would be acceptable in light of the current postings. Alternatively, contact me directly, please.
