My daughter's NK cell activity went from low to high normal when she took inosine at the suggestion of her ME/CFS specialist. It's an over-the-counter supplement that is easy to get online. There was a complex dosing schedule needed for it to work best, iirc. It was something like 1500 mg daily weekdays Week 1, then 2000 mg daily weekdays Week 2, weekends off. Don't take that as gospel, as it's been a while so I'm not confident I remember it correctly. Hopefully someone currently on the protocol will chime in with more reliable info.I am looking for ways to increase my Natural Killer Cell Activity....has anyone have any thoughts, ideas, remedies, treatments etc. that have been effective for them? Thank You...
That seems like a lot of inosine, though I don't know how much is in a capsule of that brand. Dr. Chia recommended the Anabol Naturals brand to me, 500 mg once a day.Dr.Chia is recommending x2 caps 3 times a day of Inosine by Life Extension and Equilibrant. I'm not sure if this is based on body weight because my friend is his patient not me.
@heapsreal Have you decided what dose inosine? There were 3 different protocols here. I never noticed much different with immunovir which I pulsed over 8 or so months.
I'm thinking to stick with inososine at a dose I can tolerate and then maybe add oxymatrine caps.
Like you say not a solo treatment but if taken with famvir and maybe valcyte it could help things?
I think with inosine it has to be long term and not expect to feel immediate relief like we can with av's.
@lnester7 have you heard anything? I like your LDN, inosine and oxymatrine protocol.
Probably alternate between 2 and 4 tabs a dayand take a couple of days off every so often .

I think that's the source (or a source) of AHCC, isn't it? If so, then it fits that they might improve NK cell activity. I'd go straight for the AHCC, myself, though. Might as well concentrate on the component that affects the factor you're trying to change.On a serious note, aren´t Reishi mushrooms supposed to increase NK cell activity?
