Beta-Glucan; Medical Applications & Beneficial Presentations

[00:04:25]   What is beta-glucan and what foods contain it?

• Beta-glucan is a polysaccharide.
• Used in Asia for 3000 years as an immunostimulant, adaptogenic and detoxifying medicine.
• Found in
  • Mushrooms
  • Yeast
  • Oats
  • Whole grains
  • Cereals
  • Seaweed
  • Raw walnuts

[00:09:00]   Recommended daily allowances is 3000mg. This will assist in:

• Reducing LDL cholesterol.
• Overcoming oxidative stress in the body.
• Reduces chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Inhibits the forming of cancer cells.
• Inhibits tumor development.

[00:10:37]   Beta-glucan can be supplemented should you not consume enough of the beta-glucan containing foods.

[00:11:26]   Different disease states and functions affected by beta-glucan.

• It is an immune system modulator.
• Suppresses unwanted inflammation.
• Decreases the effects of rheumatoid arthritis.
• Boosts macrophage.

[00:13:00]   Studies showed surprising results in oral administration of beta-glucan in terms of phase 1 lung cancer, metastatic neuro blastoma and various other cancer types. It provides protection to healthy cells during chemotherapy treatment and aids in recovery after treatment.

[00:15:20]   Over 7500 studies proved the effectiveness of beta-glucan.

[00:16:53]   Beta-glucan proven to be highly effective in various auto-immune disorders.

[00:18:56]   Dosages vary between disease types.

[00:19:50]   In diabetes patients, because beta-glucan is a soluble fiber, it helps to regulate blood glucose levels. It decreases the postprandial glucose and achieves insulin response.

[00:21:56]   Diabetic patients are advised to take their dosage after each meal.

[00:24:14]   The book Dr Gürülü wrote is called Medical Applications of Beta-Glucan. It is a summary of some 8000 studies, and it is broken down by different conditions and disease states (see link below).

[00:30:43]   Beta-glucan can assist individuals with chronic kidney disease:

• It regulates the good microbiota by decreasing the release of uremic toxins and improving renal functions.
• It changes the proteolytic metabolism to secretolytic metabolism in microbiota.
• It limits the production of colon derived uremic toxins.
• It elevates endotoxin measurements.

[00:33:06]   Beta-glucan may play a role in the ability to build muscle.

• Beta-glucan treatment could prevent myotubes from becoming myofibroblasts.
• Functional beta-glucan might have a therapeutic potential to improve skeletal muscle. function which might contribute to development of beta-glucan.
• Myotubes created with beta-glucan displayed fast slow muscle fiber conversion and improved the oxidative metabolism which improves muscle development.

[00:38:31]   Carl explains why he thinks the beta-glucan should be taken before or with a meal in the case of diabetic patients.

[00:46:39]   Carl ends the show with a remarkable story about Turkish coffee.
