Cytotoxicity testing is an excellent first step towards reducing the liability of a drug due to adverse effects. Cytotoxicity testing helps pharmaceutical researchers refine their compounds for the market, at a low cost, by providing valuable toxicity data early in the drug discovery process with cell-based research.

I think NK production heavily depends on quality deep sleep, so I heard recently via Matthew Walker’s lab.

Hi Monica,

For complicated questions, I would recommend looking into our consults (https://selfhacked.com/contact/) or joining VIP so you can ask Joe questions. I hope that helps!

Best,

Hi,

Thank you for providing such valuable information. I’ve been diagnosed with Ra almost 2 ears ago. I tried a medication Sulfasalazine and had a severe allergic reaction. I am currently researching all types of diets that could help RA but the controversy is tremendous and I am getting to say the least frustrated. One diet says fish oil -inhibits the immune system is good. The other says no fish oils. paleo says neat is good that activates IGF1, the other is vegan. But I leanr a little toda what is IGF1 and that LOW is prevalent in RA people and it’s more dangerous than having high…creating a balance is best but leaves me with a question what diet to follow? Then the NK cells which you say are usually low on Ra people too. Would a vegan diet in your opinion be the best for me or a diet like with salmon and red meat? Really need help. Thank You My name is Monica and my email is [email protected]

Hi Angelina I also have CFS and have low NK cells, so I don’t know that there is a unified rule

You’re wrong, patients with M.E( PwME). have a decreased number of NK cells, and their functions are abnormally low too. You can even correlate the severity of a PwME, with that data. Source : chairs of ME Research.

ME/CFS is a very complex illness and different for everyone. Please see the latest Australian research discovery relating to NK cells, blocked ion channels and calcium. see Health Rising for more info.

I get HSV1 cold sores out break almost immediately after starting to use spirulina (source/quality/form/brand does not matter at all). spirulina (dried, raw) has a c. 1.38 ratio of lysine to arginine, so this is not a surprise.

Almost all supplements, foods and sources that seriously ramp up _relative_ (not absolute) arginine levels, cause a cold sores , or at worst, a shingles outbreak.

In reply to J.T.. Co I could have very high NK, which I have, but they are not working, so Ampligen would help?

In reply to angela coral eisenhauer. I have ME/CFS, and the research shows those that have it have low or impaired NK Cell Function (not count). To that end, there is Ampligen. It has been in FDA trials at several expert clinician's offices going back over 20 years. It boosts NK cell function using the Toll-Like Receptor 3 pathway. The LOW NK cell function is why many w/ ME/CFS have active viral infections. If you have ME/CFS, I'm sorry. It really, really sucks!

I like the page, though, hope you dont mind me correcting you. MS has low NK cells, ME / CFS has high NK cells. Happy to send you my results, but waiting on more information. I have read that reference, many times.

Your reference, re CFS having reduced Natural Killers cells? PLEASE re read your reference, CFS has HIGH NK cells. I know because I have it, and you have totally misunderstood your own reference.
