How Moducare Helps with Immune Care

Lyle Hurd: It’s great to welcome Jim LaValle LaValle back with us. Jim is the founder of the LaValle Metabolic Institute. Can you tell us what sterols and sterolins are? And can you tell us how we can access them and what they can do for us? Jim LaValle: Well sterols and sterolins are a part of plant food. Problem being is that most of us don’t even know a plant food nowadays. And why they are so important, it’s because sterols and sterolins help our immune systems to stay and check, so our immune system either activate or suppresses and that’s called T helper 1 or T helper 2. T helper 2 is the t helper cells that activates your immune system. And you got another part that suppresses immunity. And so, your body of stays in this dynamic balance well for a lot of people because of stress environmental pollutants for diets, not exercising enough, any number of things just aging for example all of us as we age our immune system will shift towards autoimmunity which of course accelerates the aging process. And there are a lot conditions that have hyperactive immunities. You hear of autoimmunity disorders or allergies or one component of that. So sterols and sterolins are important because they can play a role and helping people to remodulate or rebalance their immune function. Then so, its hard to get it through your diet nowadays, you going to eat seven to ten pounds of vegetable matter in the course of the day to get enough sterols and sterolins. We just simply have moved the way from eating that amount of plant foods. Lyle Hurd: Well, so as far as your immune systems concerned if we’re consuming sterols and sterolins in the pill form where would we go, what we look for? I mean where is it available? Jim LaValle: Well, I mean that you know obviously the company that did all the research on it, normal research originated out in South Africa actually and it was pretty interesting because they developed this product to look for an affordable product they could give the HIV population but they found and then have this wide range of benefits. So you know even though it did help improve immune function and improve viral titers and that studies in the South African populations they also found that it help people with rheumatism and arthritis. They have less tender points when measure them after being on it. I would help athletes they had exercise, so endurance running is for example are people that when they use sterols and sterolins they don’t get a soar and they don’t get of a respiratory infections after they’re events. So you know, so there is just lineage that it started over research started in South Africa. The product is called moducare. And Moducare is a sterols and sterol glucosides now, you got to remember this where you for all of you out there if you’re listening to this, sterols esters the lower cholesterol or a different category and plant sterol glucosides. Sterol lusters are phenomenal at lowering cholesterol. Do not too much for helping your immune system to stay in balance. So they’re family members but you going to—when you’re going to store to look for something, you going to kind of keep your piece and cue straight and realize that sterol glucosides from Moducare help balance immune function and sterol esters what you find a cholesterol lowering agents that’s a different categories of sterols. Lyle Hurd: So actually Moducare is really become a generic name on those store we’re talking about. Jim LaValle: Pretty but some and it’s the brand that get all research. I don’t of any other brands out there that have the identical sterol/sterolin, we could say ratios that we studies that were so compelling for balancing immunity and I know in my clinic there’s a condition called out immune fibrositis for your immunities some sort attacking the thyroid gland and we use Moducare to start a quell of that immune response and we had people who had significant reductions in their antibody levels by using Moducare. And of course we change our diet. We do some other things as well but we know that Moducare is playing a role in dampening down that rate of burn or hyper vigilant or hyperactive immunity response. Lyle Hurd: May I give you testimonial? Jim LaValle: Sure. Lyle Hurd: About seven years ago, I was in a luncheon with some of our associate editors. You may have been there. I don’t know maybe other one suggested it. And I was talking about the fact that I have this terrible Herpes, cold sores and I have them along time, that’s I way express my stress. Jim LaValle: So! Lyle Hurd: And so, one of you said to me. Well, “Moducare is in your magazine all the time, isn’t it”? I said, “Nice suggest” And they said, “You’re not taking the product”. And I said, “How do you know I’m taking the product”? And they said, “If you were, you wouldn’t have that problem”. Jim LaValle: Right! Lyle Hurd: Remind you, I mean get—they were awful and it always happen when I supposed to be something or do something and then you go in and you’d have facelift look like that. And so I started to do it. And I started on about twice whatever the daily dose should be and maybe it was three times. Jim LaValle: Right! Lyle Hurd: Interesting really enough they took away the herpes and you know after a few I wasn’t getting any longer. Well, then something and it went down into the bottom of my mouth. And I was told that, that’s something I probably would never get over with. I started to take of them a day. After—well, for the last seven or eight years, I have had absolutely no problem. Every time I feel that I’m getting too stressed or I feel something is coming on, I just double the Moducare that I take. And I seldom and never talk about something like that but it is absolutely phenomenal, I recommend that to hundreds and I don’t know if anything else it does what does. Jim LaValle: Well, you know when you think about stress and everybody is under chronic stress these days, you know, our immune system gets out of kilter under chronic stress and having a food—you know, it’s basically a plant material extraction, so it’s hypoallergenic, it’s very interesting product. To have something that you could take on a regular basis to keep your immune kind of in check and I think its big benefit for a lot people. And obviously, pursuant of big theories on aging is that the immune system just regulates and you become more a lot of immune. So being able to do things that were reduced that drive toward out of immunity and that’s what I’d like Moducare so much and I’m not testimonial guy like looking at my patients number as when I get their blood test and I look at them but and my sons are great example lab. You know, a lot of croup when he was infant and a toddler, and I got them in chewable Moducare for children. And I get the say, he’s never been to the doctor bug that he couldn’t fight of on his own when on 24 to 48 hours, it’s been an amazing thing to watch. And I don’t know where they contribute to that or we’re giving him good food but I know it’s playing role because I just the know the effect that the sterols and sterol glucoside on and being function. Lyle Hurd: I had someone tell me that I was asking of what I will ask you guys all this question or what you could do for this single virus an interesting way enough. This person said, “You know, I think the only thing I know that might be of some value was to have this person started to take Moducare and take and heavy doses since you see what it find that would happens. Jim LaValle: Sure! Lyle Hurd: It’s also one of the few ingredients that there hasn’t be and me too that is developed, isn’t it? Jim LaValle: Well, yeah! Absolutely! Well, I think the once again, in this industry of natural products a lot times would happen as you’ll have ingredient that gets made and it publishes all its data and then other companies will grab the data but they don’t necessarily have the same exact material, so whether it's Gingko, you know Gingkko isn't always just Gingko. Something was sterols and sterol glucosides, you have to see where is all the literature published that and what’ll you’ll out if there is a knock off, if all the research have been on that particular extraction of the sterols and sterol glucoside and that’s important. People have to realized, you want to buy this stuff that’s been studied and you can really have faith in the that’s going to help you. Lyle Hurd: Well, I have two recommendations. Three! One is that people that are suffering from what they consider immune problems diet. Two is that you recommended to people. And three is that you bought a bottle and take it and give to your doctor and tell your doctor to give it somebody and see how it work for them. It really is one of the great ingredients it’s called Moducare and well we don’t talk about a lot brand names here. Jim LaValle: Right! Lyle Hurd: That’s the only way you get to this if it’s the Moducare product. Jim LaValle: Yeah! Exactly! Lyle Hurd: Thanks very much Jim. Jim LaValle: Always a pleasure.
