Suggested Use

ADULTS - One (1) to three (3) teaspoons two or three times daily as a dietary supplement. CHILDREN - One half (1/2) teaspoon two or three times daily as a dietary supplement.

Description

IAG is very effective with chronic viral and bacterial problems, chronic hepatitis B and C, inner ear infections, free-radical problems and some cases of allergy, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

As with all products on this and any site, if you are suffering from an infection or diagnoised condition, we recommend you seek professional care and treatment.

I A G is Arabinogalactin powder extracted from the Western Larch Tree. We have researched and provided details on this amazing nutrient below.

I have seen significant clinical improvement in many chronic immune problems where we had previously not achieved our desired results.

Useful for preventative care while traveling to foreign countries along with other recommended products below.

For Virus , Our clinical experience indicates that irrespective of what diet and supplemental support is employed, in chronic hepatitis B and C, subjective improvement and control of the liver enzymes and the gamma globulin level is most dependent upon IAG and Dismuzyme Plus Granules. For whatever reason, if the IAG and Dismuzyme Plus Granules are not used, or withdrawn, many symptoms return and the liver enzymes will invariably increase. (So if used, continue and the body will respsond, quit and it probably won't).

IAG is somewhat expensive; however, it is most effective and because it mixes well in water and does not taste bad, it can be used easily with children and adults who have a problem swallowing capsules and tablets.

Larch arabinogalactan contains a polysaccharide from the wood of the Western larch(Larix occidentalis).

The food we eat may also contain natural arabinogalactans. They natural source comes from carrots, radishes, tomatoes, pears and wheat, among other plant foods. Arabinogalactans probably contribute to the immune-enhancing activities of echinacea.

The fiber in Larch arabinogalactan is a nondigestible soluble dietary fiber. It is also thought to stimulate the colonic growth of such bacteria as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. These bacteria may confer certain health benefits. Substances that stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria are called bifidogenic factors. Substances that promote the colonic growth of beneficial bacteria are called probiotics.

Why take IAG?

Larch arabinogalactanis thought to have immune-enhancing activity. I have seen many patinets with chronic colds and sinus infections improve with IAG when the cold gets started and it has speed up their recovery routinely.

How it Works: Incresase NK Cells

Larch arabinogalactan has shown some immune-enhancing activity in the laboratory, particularly with regard to the stimulation of human natural killer cell activity.

They are called (NK) cells because they are able and seek to kill certain types of target cells, especially:

• cells that have become infected with virus;
• cells that have become cancerous.

The mechanism of the possible immune-enhancing activity is not fully understood.

RESEARCH SUMMARY Larch arabinogalactan has been shown to enhance natural killer (NK) cell and has also enhanced the function of some other immune-system cells in experimental studies. It has inhibited the metastasis of tumor cells to the liver in the laboratory. More Human trials are needed and we look forward to a greater understanding of this useful plant extract.

As Always - Caution if you are pregnant.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid larch arabinogalactan supplements, pending long-term safety studies.

Those with lactose intolerance should exercise caution in the use of supplemental larch arabinogalactan.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Taking doses up to 10 grams daily appear to be  tolerated by most peoplel. There are no reports of adverse reactions. However, as with similar products, it would be expected that at higher doses (e.g., greater than 30 grams daily) gastrointestinal side effects, such as gas, abdominal cramps and possible diarrhea, may occur in some using such a high dose.

KNOWN INTERACTIONS

No known interactions with drugs, nutritional supplements, foods or herbs.

H1N1 flu is about to be upon us and we need to be on top of information regarding it. Here is a comparison to the normal cold symptoms.

Know the Difference between a Cold and H1N1 Flu Symptoms:

Symptom Cold H1N1 vs. Flu

Fever Fever is rare with a cold. Fever is usually present with the flu in up to 80% of all flu cases. A temperature of 100°F or higher for 3 to 4 days is associated with the H1N1 flu.

Coughing A hacking, productive (mucus- producing) cough is often present with a cold. A non-productive (non-mucus producing) cough is usually present with the H1N1 flu (sometimes referred to as dry cough).

Aches Slight body aches and pains can be part of a cold. Severe aches and pains are common with the H1N1 flu.

Stuffy Nose Stuffy nose is commonly present with a cold and typically resolves spontaneously within a week. Stuffy nose is not commonly present with the H1N1 flu.

Chills Chills are uncommon with a cold. 60% of people who have the H1N1 flu experience chills.

Tiredness Tiredness is fairly mild with a cold. Tiredness is moderate to severe with the H1N1 flu.

Sneezing Sneezing is commonly present with a cold. Sneezing is not common with the H1N1 flu.

Sudden Symptoms Cold symptoms tend to develop over a few days. The H1N1 flu has a rapid onset within 3-6 hours. The flu hits hard and includes sudden symptoms like high fever, aches and pains.

Headache A headache is fairly uncommon with a cold. A headache is very common with the H1N1 flu, present in 80% of flu cases.

Sore Throat Sore throat is commonly present with a cold. Sore throat is not commonly present with the H1N1 flu.

Chest Discomfort Chest discomfort is mild to moderate with a cold. Chest discomfort is often severe with the H1N1 flu.

The only way to stop the spread of the epidemic is to spread the awareness.
