Even though preventative medicine was never really taught to me in medical school or residency, I have always been very interested in it. Fortunately, I have been blessed with an open, inquisitive mind and a willingness to learn about new things. I have kept very up to date with modern medicine and medications, but I have also learned that many natural products can complement conventional medicine. Over the past year I have integrated some of Matol’s high quality supplements into my clinical practice.

A year ago I did not know much about Natural Killer Cells other than the fact that all of us have them. Then I met someone who began to teach me about them. He gave me several articles about Natural Killer Cells to read. I began to educate myself and learn a lot more about these specialized cyto toxic cells that are such a critical first line of defense in our survival. Since then I have heard several outstanding educational presentations by Dr. Larry Stowe. I have also read quite a few articles from medical journals and even a couple of books about what we know in the 21st century about our complex immune system in general including the role of our Natural Killer Cells in this system in particular. What I have learned has had a profound effect on the health and wellness of many of the patients in my clinical practice as well as my own. I previously knew that Natural Killer Cells normally kill viral bacteria independently. What I didn’t realize is, that these cells are often inactive and not functioning as they are meant to.

I now know that we can measure patients Natural Killer Cell Activity Function as well as their Natural Killer Cell Count. Most of us have enough Natural Killer Cells (i.e. our counts are typically normal), however many of us do not have enough Natural Killers that are active. These inactive NK cells are present in great numbers in our blood, lymph nodes, organs, and tissue, but they are not killing foreign invaders such as infectious organisms and malignant cells that constantly affect all of us.

Fortunately we can take a safe, highly effective natural supplement that has been proven to consistently and dramatically increase the activity of many of our own Natural Killer Cells. This, obviously, is why I have been taking Biomune OSF™ Plus for the past year. When I first measured my own NK Cell Activity over 1 year ago, I was disappointed, but not surprised that it was too low at 41.

Ever since I’ve been a doctor I have frequently been sick. Every year I received a flu shot, yet I still would get the influenza virus every winter (usually while on vacation after flying south in an airplane.) Last year I was really ill 5 different times in a four month period. In fact, I was in our own little hospital for IV antibiotics and fluids three different times (and let me tell you that most doctors make the worst patients and we really hate being in hospitals ourselves.) I had pneumonia twice, Cellulitis, Lymphadenitis, as well as the Flu last year.

Because I was really sick of being sick, I began taking Biomune OSF™ Plus. After one month my NK Cell Activity was up to 68 from 41, and after 2 more months it is was over 100. I plan to check it for a 3rd time in the near future. I’ll be surprised if it is not over 200.

Since I have been taking 4 to 8 Biomune OSF™ Plus a day I have not been in our hospital or on any antibiotics at all. My allergies have also cleared up. I have not had to use any of the multiple allergy medications which I was frequently used to take like over the counter cold medicines, steroid nasal sprays, steroid eye drops and intramuscular steroid injections.

Over the past year I have tested the NK Cell Functions of several hundred patients. I have seen results very similar to what has previously been reported and published. Almost all Cancer patients have very low levels of NK Cell Activity: usually 0 to 20. Many patients with chronic diseases including Fibromyalgia and chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well as a wide variety of Auto Immune Disorders including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and others have low levels in the 10 to 30 range.

Most patients with Chronic and\or recurrent infections (such as Staph, Sinusitis, Bronchitis, Tonsillitis, Pneumonia, and ear infections, etc.) have low levels in the 10 to 50 range. Many patients with symptomatic EBV, CMV, HPV and other chronic viral infections are in the 0-20 range.

Some of my healthy patients have been in the 150 to 250 range, but most of the others have been in the 50 to 150 range. Some “healthy” patients have had very low NK Cell Activity between 0 and 10. It is now known that low NK Cell Activity is a significant independent risk factor for the future development of Cancer as well as other chronic diseases and illnesses.

It is also known that low NK Cell Activity is a strong predictor of poor prognosis of survival for Cancer patients. But it is also known that the higher the NK Cell Activity in patients with Cancer the better their prognosis is for survival.

In addition it is known that there is a direct age related decrease in NK Cell Activity from 20 to 80 years of age which may partially explain why the risk of cancer increases with each decade of life.

I know that I am reducing my short-term and long-term risk of personally getting cancer as well as infections.

Isn’t this something that people of all ages desire- to prevent acute and chronic diseases. It would be good for all of us and for our families to do everything possible to elevate and reactivate our Natural Killer Cells. That is why I have recommended Biomune OSF™ Plus for many of my patients. I have consistently seen a rise in the NK Cell Activity of the vast majority of the patients who have remained on Biomune OSF™ Plus and their health has appeared to improve dramatically.

It is the only Immune Modulator I know. It helps regulate and reprogram our own immune systems so that your body can begin to heal itself from inside out, as our immune systems are designed to do. This is the essence of Immunotherapy, which I believe is the present and future for human health and wellness in the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic diseases in the 21st century.

My wife has had frequent chronic and recurrent bladder and yeast infections. Since she’s been on two Biomune OSF™ Plus a day for 9 months she hasn’t had any episodes of either of these highly undesirable infections. Thank goodness!

More recently we have started taking Matol®/ Km®, Omega 3-6-9 essential fatty acids and OPCs + II (Matol’s new high potency anti-oxidant) as well as Biomune OSF™ Plus.

In my professional opinion, Matol also makes several other high quality supplements which synergistically complement these beneficial effects. That is why I am personally taking all these safe, effective, pure and potent natural products which have improved my health, happiness and quality of life.
