I came across a product called Epicor today. It apparently is an immune system balancer. There's been some positive research done on it too.

I've never heard about this before, so forgive me if this has been discussed here before. It looks fantastic.

I took Epicor for two years and could not see any results, so I stopped it about 4 months ago.

I had high hopes for it too, esp. after reading it was proven to increase NK cells by 400%.

Then I reviewed the NK research again and noted that it was not the numbers of cells that appeared to be off (except for the CD57 component) but the almost total lack of reactivity of the NK cells to threats. I don't know if Epicor has any effect on the NK cellular lethargy.

I hope it works better for you than it did for me. I do think it's worth a try; maybe a couple of months.

P.S. Remember to stop the Epicor any time you are on an anti-yeast medication. It is not a candida, but it is another type of yeast, and will still be killed by the anti-fungual meds. or supps., so you'd be wasting your money.

Klutzo- sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I may still give it a try.

Has anyone else tried this?

I thought it looked fantastic, too, and tried it for a couple months, two or three years ago.

It didn't help me feel any better, but that has been my usual response with trying things.

The prices are lower now than when I bought it.
Look at iHerb.com. Reviewers there love it.

Some LLMD's are recommending this for their patients.

Beta glucan [from yeast, not mushrooms] is an alternative you could look into.

My hubby has been on it for over a year and loves
it! It was recc. to him through his NP. He says
he can tell it's working. He has/had Lyme/Bart and Babs. He was treated for Babs with the usual Mepron
and Zith and or Batrim and Artemesia but added
the Epicore in and now is off Babs abx for months
and doing well.
