Immunocal, Liver disease and RA rheumatoid arthritis
There have been times when people ask me...What do you use Immunocal for?

So this is my testimony.
I was in a coma in 1986 and needed prescription drugs called SSRI's like Prozac.
I also have arthritis which I was taking medication for.
Then about 2001 I suffered from migraines and found the scar tissue on my brain was inflammed and I needed more drugs to alleviate the pain and swelling.
Then after being diagnosed with sondylosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylosis and needed more drugs for pain.
Well I got worse instead of better. The drugs were taking their toll on my body so I went looking for an alternative and found exactly what I needed in Immunocal to do everything, even detox me during the transition off the drugs.
I even lost 50 lbs and my man boobs, so if these things can happen in my life, I felt obligated to tell everyone about a simple way to make life easier to live.
Oh ya, with all that Immunocal has done to get me clean of drugs free of pain and inflammation, it also gave me a sense of well being and a purpose in life I never knew was obtainable.
Please feel free to ask anything.

Now that the holiday season has passed it's time to focus again on educating the Nation on Good Health Practice by preventing disease.
Now...you mentioned Tylenol use and I am left to assume you no longer use this toxic product.
I would like to follow up with some information about tylenol and what it does to your defences agiainst other toxins and free radical damage.
I understand many people today don't like the views of the FDA, and I totally understand but their website can still educate so I use it to help show what is real in the world of health.
Use Caution with Pain Relievers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Acetaminophen can cause liver injury through the production of a toxic metabolite. The body eliminates acetaminophen by changing it into substances (metabolites) that the body can easily eliminate in the stool or urine. Under certain circumstances, particularly when more acetaminophen is ingested than is recommended on the label, more of the harmful metabolite is produced than the body can easily eliminate. This harmful metabolite can seriously damage the liver."
Now we should all know by now that the liver has a number of important functions, some of the main ones being:
* Detoxification of potentially toxic chemicals from both inside and outside of the body including drugs, alcohol and toxins from intestinal microbes. Accomplished with antioxidant nutrients and enzymes such as glutathione.
* Storage of sugar as 'glycogen' and regulation of blood sugar levels.
* Production and storage of proteins as well as the regulation of many substances involved in protein metabolism.
* Production of bile which aids in the digestion of fats.
* Production of blood proteins, clotting factors and substances important to the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes)
* Regulation of a number of hormones.
* Neutralization of 'free-radicals' by antioxidants. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules that can damage tissues.
* Storage of vitamins, mainly A, D and B12

As you can see the liver is involved in a wide array of metabolic activities and it requires a large amount of energy and nutrients to accomplish these effectively.
Over the last century the workload of our livers has increased significantly. A vast amount of chemicals are now in everyday use and all of these must be processed and neutralized by the liver. These chemicals come in the form of pharmaceutical drugs, household cleaning products, cosmetic and personal care products and household furnishings and building materials, to name but a few.
Tylenol also Depletes Glutatione...
Glutathione Depleting Agents
~ Smoking.
~ Alcohol.
~ Caffeine.
~ Acetaminophen. (aka-Tylenol)
~ Drugs.
~ Vigorous exercise
~ x-, y- and UV radiation
~ Xenobiotics.

Glutathione - The Master Antioxidant
Glutathione is an antioxidant enzyme often referred to as the body's "master antioxidant" due to its central role in protecting the body's cells from free radical damage. Glutathione is composed of the amino acids cysteine, glutamine and glycine and is concentrated in the liver, although it carries out its work throughout the body. This important enzyme is involved in protecting cells from environmental toxins, drugs and alcohol as well as toxins produced by the body itself as a result of normal metabolism. So important to health is glutathione that it's depletion leads to cell death.
Environmental toxins are known to cause depletion of glutathione. Maybe not surprisngly, glutathione deficiency has been implicated in a whole range of chronic degenerative disorders including most of the environmental illnesses.
Also of note is the influence glutathione levels have on immune function. Like all cells, immune cells rely up on glutathione for defense against free radicals. Glutathione is also required for the activation of natural killer cells and for many other functions of specific immune cells.
Clearly in this modern age of toxic living it is wise for everybody to be aware of their glutathione status but for environmental illness sufferers it is essential since their levels of this vital detoxifier have almost certainly been compromised already. Fortunately there are a number of natural products that have been shown in clinical studies to raise effective levels of glutathione. These will be discussed in a moment.
Immunocal Helps to Restore Liver Function and Prevent further Damage.

"These findings suggest that the long-term supplement with Immunocal alone may be effective for improving liver dysfunctions in patients with chronic hepatitis B."

So Linda, as you well know, you have taken a very important step in maintaining long health and a strong liver plus we both know how we feel with no pain from our Arthritis.
Thanks for making a comment and please feel free to share this with others and don't forget there are video testimonies in my video files.

Just read your story, Randy. I was quite impressive how Immunocal has contributed to your much improved health.
