Thank you, Dr. Phil!

I’ll continue to keep my eye out for new research on beta glucan and swine flu in general. I’ll share whatever I find in the process.

Be well!

The mention of beta glucan as an immune activator or enhancer is a site for sore eyes … Hardly anyone acknowledges it yet it is a great asset to our healthy immune system.

Thanks for the update on the benefits for the swine flu virus and the benefits of 1/3, 1/6 beta glucan for flu prevention.

Dear JP – great column. Our research association seeks to raise awareness on AHCC which is a unique extract of Japanese medicinal mushrooms. Like propolis which you refer to in your article, AHCC has been studied in mice for regular influenza (H1N1). AHCC has also been tested for west nile virus, bird flu and MRSA. These are studies published in peer-reviewed journal, listed on Pubmed.org (you’ll need to type in “Active Hexose Correlated Compound”. So I hope that your readers can benefit from that as well.

Good luck with your continued posts.

Hi JP,
Thank you for this timely update, with emphasis in the urgent need for a prompt visit to the doctor if symptoms occur.
The importance of mantaining our hygiene and immune defenses in top condition is also highlighted! And a new supplement reminder!
Great job!

Giuliana
