Book excerpt: This Second Edition expands and amplifies the research and new information on Beta Glucan and how it can assist the body's immune system. It highlights 20 years of research by Vaclav Vetvicka, Ph.D of Louisville, Ky.B-D-glucans belong to a group of physiologically active compounds called "biological response modifiers" and represent highly conserved structural components of cell walls in yeast, fungi, and seaweed. Glucans stimulate the immune system, but do not overstimulate it to the point where it becomes overactive, and so may be highly effective in such auto-imune illness such as lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthrisis, allergies, and yeast infections.

Book excerpt: Beta Glucan - a 21st Century Miracle? This book is intended as a layman’s guide to Beta Glucan, which perhaps heralds one of the most important medical breakthroughs in the last 100 years! Beta Glucan is a straightforward but comparatively complex polysaccharide. It has the ability to revolutionise some important aspects of future healthcare worldwide. Beta Glucan defies some of the pharmaceutical giants’ patents, because this product is effective and inexpensive to produce and administer. Beta Glucan can revolutionise many aspects of medicine in the future, particularly in respect of cancer and antibiotics, as well as a host of other conditions. Dr. Christopher Hertzog is a well known medical researcher in the field of anti-aging medicine. He is the author of several books and papers relating to the subject, including ‘Live Younger, Live Longer !’. Dr. Hertzog has embarked on a crusade to get Beta Glucan better known and accepted throughout the developed world. He has sponsored various health conferences in the U.S.A. He is now embarking on setting up international healthcare clinics with special emphasis on remedial and palliative care in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Book excerpt: Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Biology of 1-3 Beta Glucans and Related Polysaccharides presents a comprehensive, systematic and authoritative survey of information about a family of chemically related, but functionally diverse, naturally occurring polysaccharides--the (1-3)-glucans. International contributors describe the chemical and physicochemical properties of these glucans and their derivatives and the molecular biological and structural aspects of the enzymes involved in their formation and breakdown. A detailed analysis of their physiological roles in the various biological situations in which they are found will be provided. Additionally, evolutionary relationships among the family of these glucans will be described. Topics of medical relevance include detailing the glucans' interactions with the immune system and research for cancer therapy applications Web resource links allow scientists to explore additional beta glucan research Separate indexes divided into Species and Subject for enhanced searchability

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current digital age, everybody has heard something about natural immunomodulators, but the real knowledge is limited and confusing. Some people do not believe at all, while some have unrealistic expectations. There is a lot of information on the web, but some of the information is too scientific, and therefore difficult for the general public to understand, and some of the information is commercially-driven and more often than not inaccurate. With more than 30 years of supplements research under my belt, I am confident that I can provide both scientific and reliable information about natural supplements to the general public. Provided with my information, readers can decide whether or not to supplement their food with any of these substances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite of the efforts of pharmaceutical researchers to find new medicaments, nature offers many substances with healing properties—beta-glucans belong to this group of compounds. The second volume of the e-book series, Biology and Chemistry of Beta-Glucan, provides new knowledge about these important polysaccharides. In order to understand the role of beta-glucans, it is necessary to control the purity and to determine their composition and structure. This volume presents modern chemical and separation methods which are applied in structural analysis of glucans. As a result of structural analyses, it can be concluded that beta-glucans of different origin vary in chain length, number and types of branching. The book further discusses the biological effects of tailored oligomers and synthetic beta-glucans, including innovative use of enzymatic processes in the synthesis of these compounds. This volume also discusses a hypothesis of beta-glucans’ increasing impact on the photodynamic therapy. In spite of many scientific papers describing the positive role of beta-glucans in protection against diseases, certain epidemiological data suggest that specific illnesses can be related to beta-glucan exposure. The fact of whether or not beta-glucan is an accompanying substance of these biologically active agents is also questioned. Biology and Chemistry of Beta-Glucan: Volume 2 focuses on the strictly scientific basis on the effects of beta-glucan on human health as well as other possibilities of beta-glucan application, such as protection of aquaculture against diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide and an important food supplement that strengthens the immune system. Beta-glucan can be obtained from many food sources such as mushrooms, yeast, or oats. Beta-glucan has a therapeutic use in the treatment of many diseases, thanks to its immune system strengthening effect. Its use helps curtail the need for administering high levels of antibiotics in case of serious infections. This book presents information about the medical applications of beta-glucan. Starting with an introduction to the basic biochemistry and classification of beta-glucan, the contents explain the readers about its use in treating a variety of medical conditions. These include cancer, allergies, COVID-19, respiratory tract infections, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and many other other endocrinological, immunological and infectious diseases. This book is a comprehensive resource about the medical use of beta-glucan where any reader can find topical information and learn about recent studies on the therapeutic effects of beta-glucan on the treatment of different diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A considerable amount of research has emerged in recent years on the science, technology and health effects of oats but, until now, no book has gathered this work together. Oats Nutrition and Technology presents a comprehensive and integrated overview of the coordinated activities of nutritionists, plant scientists, food scientists, policy makers, and the private sector in developing oat products for optimal health. Readers will gain a good understanding of the value of best agricultural production and processing practices that are important in the oats food system. The book reviews agricultural practices for the production of oat products, the food science involved in the processing of oats, and the nutrition science aimed at understanding and advancing the health effects of oats and how they can affect nutrition policies. There are individual chapters that summarize oat breeding and processing, the many bioactive compounds that oats contain, and their health benefits. With respect to the latter, the health benefits of oats and oat constituents on chronic diseases, obesity, gut health, metabolic syndromes, and skin health are reviewed. The book concludes with a global summary of food labelling practices that are particularly relevant to oats. Oats Nutrition and Technology offers in-depth information about the life cycle of oats for nutrition, food and agricultural scientists and health practitioners interested in this field. It is intended to provoke thought and stimulate readers to address the many research challenges associated with the oat life cycle and food system.
