The in vitro GcMAF effects on endocannabinoid system transcriptionomics, receptor formation, and cell activity of autism-derived macrophages
Immune system dysregulation is well-recognized in autism and thought to be part of the etiology of this disorder. The endocannabinoid system is a key regulator of the immune system via the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) which is highly expressed on macrophages and microglial cells. This study examines the in vitro GcMAF effects on endocannabinoid system transcriptionomics, receptor formation, and cell activity of autism-derived macrophages.
Your Body's Own Internal Medicine
In a healthy person your GcMAF has 11 actions discovered so far, including two on cells, three excellent effects on the brain, and 6 on cancer. Amongst these it acts as a 'director' of your immune system. But viruses and malignant cells like cancer send out an enzyme called Nagalase that prevents production of your GcMAF — stopping its 11 beneficial effects and neutralising your immune system.
Nagalase: The Enzyme That Blocks Your Immune System
Nagalase (alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase) is an enzyme produced by viruses and cancer cells that shuts down your body's GcMAF production — effectively cloaking tumours and pathogens from immune detection. Learn what nagalase is, how it is measured, and how restoring GcMAF activity through Bravo Probiotic Yogurt can help counteract its immune-suppressing effects.
The Connection Between the Brain and the Gut
Neurological and brain-based disorders such as depression or autism may very well have their true root origins in the gut. Science now knows that there are more neuronal cells in the GI tract than in the human brain, making the gut a kind of 'second brain.' These second brain neurons are tightly wired to the first brain through neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine.
