In a 2002 study, a group of researchers used oral Beta
Glucan to treat mice infected with Bacillus Anthracites.
With the high incidence of anthrax vaccine complications, an
alternative preventative approach is sorely needed to deal with
this frightening disease. Non specific immune stimulation
methods, such as macrophage activation would be an excellent
option.
The way that anthrax works is by secreting two toxins: edema
toxin and lethal toxin. The first of these stimulates an

Have you ever stopped to think about how to determine your
current fitness and wellness levels? Does your doctor ask you
each time you visit if you believe yourself to be fit and well?
Probably not. Nor does he likely give you any method for
determining where you're at for yourself.

Choosing the right cuts of meat is one of the most difficult

other cut of meat.
