Thanks Rich66 for posting.

I think it looks fantastic and from trustworthy scientific publication house.

The serum factor vitamin D3 binding protein (also called a Gc protein) is a naturally-produced molecule with a sugar component and a protein component. It is an abundant glyco-protein found in human blood serum [1]

What has been found a while ago [2] is that macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) was formed from vitamin D3 -binding protein. GcMAF greatly enhance phagocytic activity (i.e. immune cells killing ability).

Cancer cells secrete an enzyme known as alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (also called Nagalase) that completely blocks conversion of Gc protein to MAF and therefore the cancer cells escape destruction by the immune system. But also makes people weaker and more susceptible to infection..

Anyhow what they can do (in the lab) is to transform the Gc protein (by stepwise incubation with 2 different enzyme) to produce GcMAF. Then they innoculate this enzymatically generated macrophage activating factor directly into the animal/human.

Ok I have not read the paper yet but it looks awesome what I am uncertain about is how the immune system knows what to destroy i.e. recognition of cancer cell is an issue and the founding principle of this her2 group i.e over expressing Her2 protein. But hey I could do with some GcMAF with my herceptin I reckon..

Best wishes

1-"The Gc protein (human group-specific component (Gc), a vitamin D-binding protein or Gc globulin), has important physiological functions that include involvement in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5a for neutrophils in inflammation and macrophage activation (mediated by a GalNAc-modified Gc protein (GcMAF)"
