Russian
Choice Immune is preparations of cell wall fragments made
from specific strain of lactobacillus, first identified in
the 1980s by Russian researchers as Lactobacillus delbrueckii
ssp bulgaricus. More precise modern technology has allowed
us to identify it as a particular strain of Lactobacillus
rhamnosus. Research suggest it may stimulate the innate immunity,
the “first responder” in the immune system hierarchy,
helping to magnify the immediate response of the immune system.*
Russian Choice Immune does not contain live bacteria and is
not itself a probiotic supplement, but it may support the
growth of healthy intestinal flora.* It can provide immunoactivating
proteins in the intestinal villi cells, supporting the natural
repair mechanisms and healthy condition of the villi, which
then promotes the adhesion of friendly bacteria to intestinal
cells, and the bacteria’s further growth.*
Russian
Choice Immune contains specially prepared lactobacillus cell
wall fragments, which have very different properties from
lactobacillus taken to repopulate the intestinal tract. The
Russian Choice Immune lactobacillus is cultured, and then
the cell walls are broken apart, or lysed. This frees the
immune-active proteins that are usually sequestered inside
the cells to have unimpeded access to trigger and magnify
the immune system response.* Although probiotics and cultured
milk products have immune supporting properties, Russian Choice
Immune is a much more powerful immune system stimulator.*
The
evolution of the product that is now Russian Choice Immune
began when Bulgarian researchers found strains of lactobacilli
capable of effectively stimulating both cellular and humoral
immunity.* Later in the 1980s, Russian researchers discovered
the immune-enhancing properties of certain lactobacillus species,
after the Russian military directed them to develop protection
against biological warfare agents.* Taking note of the folk
lore regarding the immune-stimulating properties of cultured
milk products, Russian microbiologists discovered species
of Lactobacillus bulgaricus with these properties.*
The
researchers then looked for ways to enhance this immune activity,
and discovered that if they lysed the lactobacilli, the resulting
cell walls and cell wall fractions were much more powerful
than the cultured milk products.* They perfected the process
of breaking the lactobacillus cell walls, ultimately producing
uniquely potent products containing these cell wall fragments.*
After
extensive laboratory tests, these lactobacilli cell-wall fragments
were used in clinical trails in 1992 at the State Cancer Hospital
in St. Peterburg, Russia, in a wide variety of in vivo situations
requiring immune system support.* The substance was also used
to boost the immune system of patient undergoing chemotherapy
and radiation, allowing the patients to complete their therapies
without the usual debilitating effects.* The doctors reported
that the patients taking the intestinal bacteria cell-wall
fragments looked and felt better, and had more energy.* Since
then, cell wall fragments of lactobacillus strains have been
used in Europe as immune stimulators for many years, and had
consistently demonstrated efficacy.*
Following
in this tradition, Allergy Research Group now offer Russian
Choice Immune in the United States. These lactobacillus cell-wall
fragment materials have been used for twenty years in Russia
and over years in the United State, and shown to be generally
safe, even at high doses of up to 15 grams per day. Some people
have reported taking up to 12 capsules a day during times
of strong immune challenge, with no problems. Most people
report taking 1-2 capsules a day with desired results.
