NK cell activity is an important immunological marker. There are numerous NK cell research studies detailing the importance of NK cell activity. It has been found that NK cell activity is below normal in nearly all illness. To have a formula that consistently increases NK cell activity to a high level is of untold value in the quest for health.

Back in the 1950's when research was beginning on antigen infusion of cows, the assumption was observed benefits from the consumption of regular colostrum and milk from antigen stimulated cows resulted from the effect of immunoglobulins. Subsequent research showed that this was not the case. Immunoglobulins are large molecules that cannot be absorbed by the body and are of little value in immuno-therapy. There are other immunologically significant support molecules that confer immunological information to the immune system. These molecules include transfer factor, defenses, lactoferrin and others. These molecules modulate the immune system.

Later discoveries have shown that through antigen stimulation by a precise patented process a specific array of the small molecular peptides can be engineered and then harvested. These small "infotides" contain information for the immune system that can be transferred from one mammal to another (e.g. cow to humans) providing immune system support that helps enable a quick and appropriate immune system response.

Astragalus is Chinese in origin and a traditional Chinese herb used for immune stimulation. Essentially, every phase of immune system activity is stimulated by Astragalus. It increases interferon production and enhances NK and T cell function, increasing resistance to viral condition. Astragalus aids adrenal gland function, which often needs support in people experiencing chronic and degenerative health problems.

Researchers in China have conducted recent studies that report astragalus to be an effective treatment for supporting the immune system in cancer patients. Two separate studies followed patients receiving traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatment that typically devastates the immune system and leaves the recipients weak and susceptible to new opportunistic infections. Patients receiving astragalus extracts had twice the survival rate of those only receiving standard therapies. Further studies in the U.S. confirmed that astragalus has unique immunity enhancement qualities.

Clinical trials conducted by Jesse A. Stoff, MD show that Ai/E10 and astragalus in combination is highly effective in consistently and dramatically increasing natural killer cell activity. As NK cell activity is an accurate maker for immune system function this is a highly significant effect for immune system support. More and more information stressing the importance of good NK cell activity appears every month and public knowledge of this frontier and its importance will constantly escalate.
