Every single cell in your body has its own built-in defense system. This defense system is called ‘glutathione’, and each cell produces it! Your immune system is highly dependent on your cells producing glutathione to aid in the prevention of all illnesses and diseases!
Glutathione protects the cells in your body against free radical damages and DNA changes. As the level of glutathione diminishes, a cell’s defense system weakens. It is then that a cell can become ‘injured’ by free radicals and even ‘mutate’ and start multiplying out of control.
When this happens, you now have what one calls a ‘tumor’ or ‘growth’. Over a period of time the ‘mutated’ cells can turn to ‘cancer’. When you have low glutathione levels, the immune system can no longer do its job. When your glutathione levels are strong, your immune system recognizes an ‘injured’ and ‘mutated’ cells and neutralizes them.
What you need to understand!
A mutated cell that has become a ‘cancer’ cell, takes every bit of nutrition it needs to grow and become stronger by feeding on the glutathione of the healthy cells, hence weakening the healthy cells.
Therefore, this is why when one’s cancer cells are introduced to chemotherapy (a means of boosting the immune system), it is the normal cells that have been originally drained of glutathione by the cancer cells that take the beating, and why one feels so sick!
In fact, the chemotherapy which is given to boost your immune system for the purpose of killing these strong ‘cancer’ cells, puts you at a very high risk of a future ‘cancer’ originating from one of your healthy cells because they have so severely been drained of glutathione…hence the infamous remission period!
The cancer cells have been destroyed! Now lets wait and see if a healthy but weakend celll becomes ‘cancerous’…That’s your remission period!!!
What doctors don’t take the time to explain!
Normal, healthy cells produces glutathione as it needs it, to build-up its defense system daily. Its ongoing on a day-to-day basis, always reproducing.
Here lies the difference between a healthy cell and a ‘cancer’ cell. A ‘cancer’ cell will produce and feed itself of glutathione very quickly to become a very strong cancer cell. But the moment they are too full, they ’shut down’. Once it shuts down, it can never, ever turn the clock or mechanism back on to make glutathione again! Normal cells produces it as it needs it, ‘cancer’ cells can’t.
Example: Cell A versus Cell B
Cell A is a normal cell. Cell B is low on glutathione. They both are being attacked every day by free radicals. It is a fact that slowly as we age, glutathione levels start dropping and become low, thereby weakening the immune system.
Now, cell B which is already low on glutathione levels, has in effect weakened the immune system. Since the cell is constantly being attacked by free radicals, it is weakened further. Normally a strong immune system would suffice in destroying this cell. But because the immune system is so weak, it doesn’t and therefore, the DNA of this cell has changed and the cell has started to ‘mutate’. It has started multiplying and is now a ‘mass’ or a ‘tumor’.
Now that cell B has grown into a tumor, it starts ‘hogging’ all the nutrients it needs to make glutathione to become even stronger than the immune system. As it builds its strenght, it grows out of control and becomes ‘cancerous’. When it’s introduced to chemotherapy, which is an immune system booster, it can withstand the chemotherapy!
Meanwhile cell A, which has been weakened by cell B, is also exposed to the poison and radiation of chemotherapy. Even if you manage to somehow recover from the first cancer, your immune system is so ‘beat up’ from the radiation of chemotherapy, that it can’t do its job.
The once normal cell A, has become so susceptible to free radical damage, that within 1 to 4 years, it to fails and becomes a secondary cancer with even more strenght than the primary.
THE KEY IS TO INCREASE GLUTATHIONE LEVELS!
The key is obviously to increase your glutathione levels in your body so that the cancerous cells, once full, stop making their own glutathione…’shut down’ and hence become the weaker cell. The immune system has now strengthened and overpowered the ‘mutated cells’ and destroys them.
Glutathione is the master antioxidant needed by the immune system to fight off every day free radical damage and DNA mutations. It is necessary not only to your cellular system, but also to your skeletal system. Consequently when it is high and strong, it will ward off any diseases.
Doctors will tell you that you cannot take immune system boosters, such as antioxidant vitamins C & E etc., during chemotherapy treatment. They are correct since the cancer cells are already stronger than the normal cells, and these antioxidants in pill form, only adds to their defense system against treatment by chemotherapy.
Glutathione, which naturally builds up the immune system, has to come from within the cells themselves, and manufactured by the cells.
SO HOW CAN ONE HELP DO THIS? ABOUT GLUTATHIONE…
It was the discovery of glutathione’s importance in optimizing your body’s first line of defense – your immune system – which led to the discovery and development of Immunocal.
Glutathione is a small protein produced naturally in every cell of our body. It’s made up off three protein building blocks, called amino acids. These are the glutamic acid, cysteine acid and glycine acid. The cysteine amino acid contains a sulfur group responsible for the chemical properties of the whole glutathione protein.
There are three major roles of glutathione in the body; They are as an antioxidant, an immune booster, and detoxifier. Even cells in the healthiest of bodies need to replenish their glutathione levels and supply.
As an ‘antioxidant’ it participates directly in the destruction of reactive oxygen compounds called free radicals. These by-products of a cell’s normal function can’t be avoided, but exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or other sources promotes their emergence. Free radicals have been linked to muscle fatigue during exercise and aging. For this reason, the body is equipped with a variety of antioxidants. Antioxidants depend on glutathione to function properly, which is why glutathione is called the ‘Master Antioxidant’.
Glutathione is food for the immune system. It helps build your immune system’s resistance and improve your chances of staying healthy. Lymphocytes are cells of your immune system. Glutathione is essential for lymphocytes to increase in number, produce antibodies, and function efficiently.
Glutathione acts as a detoxifier. As our food and water sources become increasingly contaminated with chemicals, as is the air that we breathe, supplemental detoxifiers such as glutathione help to counter the effects of the toxins we inhale and ingest. By physically binding to toxic compounds in cells, glutathione helps make them soluble – harmless. The body can then eliminate these disarmed toxins in the bile and urine.
RAISING GLUTATHIONE LEVELS – HOW?
The fact is, you can’t ingest glutathione to feed it to your cells. Glutathione must be manufactured within your cells!
What you can do is help this natural process to occur by giving your body the glutathione building blocks it needs. The limiting factor in your daily intake of building blocks is the amino acid ‘cysteine’.
‘Cysteine’, travelling alone as an amino acid through our digestive system , is poorly absorbed and very little of it will actually make the trip from our mouths to our cells. Luckily, when ‘cysteine’ molecules bind to each other to travel in pairs, they can survive this process. They do this by forming a bond between sulfur molecules. These bonded ‘cysteine’ amino acids are then called ‘cystine’. Although this sulfur bond is resistant to the digestive process, it is easily broken if submitted to heat or mechanical stress.
One of the most important substances required by the immune system for optimal functioning is an amino acid complex called glutathione. However, supplementation is made difficult by the complexity of the body’s system for delivering glutathione to cells. Canadian researchers figured out a way to deliver glutathione effectively in the form of a natural milk protein supplement called Immunocalâ„¢ and early research suggests it has benefits for chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, and age-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and arteriosclerosis.
