How Isamune® Helps Combat Spring Allergies

Trainer: Isamune Formulator Dr. Andrew Keech

Tired of sneezing your way through the springtime? Listen in as Isamune® Formulator Dr. Andrew Keech shares how this incredible product can help boost your immune system and combat spring allergies.

Alright. Well, good evening everyone and welcome to our Thursday night product training with Isagenix International. My name is Kjersti Cote your host and it is a pleasure to be here with all of you tonight. We have a great call in store for all of you. It’s going to be a call completely surrounded by our wonderful product called “Isamune.” For those of you who don’t know what this product is all about, get ready to learn because this is probably one of the top products in the Isagenix product line. It’s kind of a sleeping giant, so to speak. It has wonderful benefits to the body and of course, the creator of Isamune is on the line with us tonight, Dr. Andrew Keech.

He is the creator of Isamune. Isamune was adopted by Isagenix back in 2004, and Dr. Keech was born and raised on a dairy farm in New Zealand as you can tell once he comes on the line and starts talking. He still has his accent after many, many years of living here in the States but he is certainly very accomplished when it comes to his credentials, in his education. He attained a Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in mathematics and chemistry in 1990. He followed that with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical and Process Engineering in 1992. He also received studentship study at the world renowned Oxford University in England and that’s where he attained his PhD in Chemical and Process Engineering. And he’s actually founded the Advanced Protein Systems which a company that is located in the Phoenix area, and he’s been working on the area of fractioning dairy proteins over the last 13 years and obviously, that’s what Isamune is all about. The — obviously, his products have been used for human consumption, for animal consumption. They are the highest of quality to enter the nutraceutical markets and I know he’s been involved in numerous, numerous studies and his products have really helped to benefit people with different health challenges. So I’m very excited to have you on the line. Dr. Andrew, good evening to you and welcome to the call.

>> Good evening Christy. It’s great to be here. Otherwise, it’s always fun doing these programs. It’s always — I love speaking about Isamune and how great it is and we just wanna know and tell everybody how wonderful the product is and to educate people and to help them sell Isamune to their families. You know, we’ve had a number of calls over the last few years and you know, a couple times a year we like to do this call, you know, once in the cold and flu season and once in the spring time. And yes, as we are right now, we’re getting into the spring time so, you know, allergies is a challenge this time of year and we’re doing this call and glad to be on it and it’s always fun for me to do this.

>> Absolutely. Well, Isamune — it’s almost in 5 year since we’ve adopted this product and I remember, you know, during the trial phase before we really committed to bringing this product into our product line, my dad along with a couple of people on the scientific advisory board, I remember Dr. Tom McNellis which is — he’s no longer a part of that board but at the time he was and I remember my dad, you know, he would get the itchy eyes, the watery nose, the sneezing after the gardeners would be there every Thursday. And I remember him squirting this Isamune in his mouth during this trial time and he — I think he’d only been using it for not even a week yet. He’s squirting it into his mouth, so it’s here and there, here and there, and sure enough, the gardeners came that week on Thursday and Friday, he woke up and realized that he wasn’t suffering from all of these itchy, runny nose, you know, those types of things and he couldn’t believe it and Isamune was the only thing that he had changed up, added and cooperated in to his daily regime and the exact same thing happened to Dr. Tom McNellis. So, I think at that point, it really proved to be, you know, quite the miraculous product and I think that the most commonly asked question when it comes to Isamune is what is it. What is Isamune?

>> Isamune is a product. It is a dietary supplement. It has no nutritional value to it. It has no calories. What it does is it reprograms the human body and teaches it how to operate normally because the best way of fighting disease is not taking medications or allopathic medicine, it’s to reteach the body how to fight its own battles and the only we can do that at least in the current science is to use peptides. Peptides are the active ingredient in Isamune. We call them Proline Rich Polypeptides and there are lot of these peptides in Isamune and each of them have a specific function for regulating immunity. These peptides, once they get into the body, by spraying the Isamune in the mouth, it only takes — doesn’t take very long for them to make their way to the immune cells. This then teach the immune cells how to produce normal levels of specific chemicals in their body, specifically cytokines in the body are responsible for many of the immune functions in the body. So that Isamune peptides balance these cytokine production.

Therefore, once you have balanced cytokine production, you’re in a state of homeostasis which is balance and that’s what’s we need in this world. We don’t wanna have an overactive immune system. We don’t want to have an underperforming immune system. We wanna have balanced. And when people talked about boosting the immune system, that’s great if you have a suppressed immune system, however, if you have an autoimmune disease or something with an overactive immune response, you don’t wanna boost your immune system. So when we talk about Isamune, we’re talking about balancing the body’s immune system as well as lot of other biochemical processes in the body and by simply teaching our body how to operate correctly, it can fight its own health challenges and there are so many people, hundred of thousands of people that have taken Isamune and this product around the world and no side effects because the peptides occur naturally in the body anyway, and they come from a wonderful raw material that we all are familiar with. It’s colostrum. When we are born, this is the first food that we receive when we’re born. So if God intended us to have colostrum as the first food when we are born, it must be pretty special.

So what we do is we’ve identified what the real immune balancing peptides are in colostrum. We simply extracted those peptides. In fact, it’s a very complicated process that’s why Isamune is so unique compared to colostrum. It works so much faster than taking colostrum because you can go to a health food store and buy colostrum but it nowhere near works as well and as quickly as the isolated peptides from colostrum and that’s Isamune. Everybody needs Isamune. The only people that don’t need it are pregnant women ’cause we don’t recommend they take anything without any doctor’s advice or people that have had organ transplants because there’s not enough data on that yet to suggest they should take it or shouldn’t take it. So Isamune is something that we need to take everyday, especially if people have health challenges, they should take Isamune more often. You can’t overdose on Isamune. Isamune has the same toxicity to that of filtered water because Isamune has been filtered like 8 times, and it’s just a wonderful product that everybody should be taking.

>> Wow! Now, one of the questions that we’re asked, you know, quite a bit is is it safe because it, you know, the colostrum that you are bringing in comes from organically fed cattle, obviously, it’s bovine colostrum. So what’s safety so that it’s been filtered 8 times? You know, what are we talking here? Are we talking a very pure, you know, pure grade of Isamune?

>> Oh, that’s the purest you can get. In fact, the quality of vodka is determined by how many times you filter it. So Isamune is filtered even more times than the best vodka you can buy in the world. [Laughter] So that’s an interesting comparison but absolutely, Isamune has been filtered so many times. It’s pure. It’s aseptic. It’s a wonderful product. It’s safe. The colostrum comes from cows and the reason we get it from cows is that cow colostrum is much more abundant than human colostrum. If I was to hang out side of maternity hospitals, I probably wouldn’t get much. So we have to get it [laughter] from another source. So, cows are mammals.

[ Simultaneous Talking ]

>> I got great visual they are there.

[ Laughter ]

>> Well, so, you know, or we could get it from pigs, we could get it form sheep, goats. I mean we’re all mammals. You know, we’re very similar and the peptides just like vitamin C and melatonin are exactly the same in all mammals. So we can [simultaneous talking] take peptides from cows. We could take it from blue whales if we wanted to. It’s all the same. So, it’s purely safe. It occurs naturally in the body. So everybody should be taking it apart from pregnant women and organ transplant people.

>> Excellent. Now, I know that this is very stable product so, you know, refrigeration is not necessary for Isamune. Let’s talk about the taste. The taste is delicious. For people who are listening and on the line that haven’t tasted it, how would you describe it Dr. Keech?

>> It has a slight vanilla — natural vanilla. There are no artificial flavors in it. We get the best natural vanilla flavor we can buy, the most expensive. We add a little bit in there. We don’t add too much because we don’t wanna overpower the natural milk flavor of the product. But we add a little bit in there and it just adds to the flavor of the milk a little bit. But it has wonderful, wonderful properties and everybody should be taking it. And let me just add this, Isagenix is a wonderful weight loss cleansing company. The peptides in colostrum are important in detoxifying the body as well. So whenever you are on a 9-day or a 30-day cleanse, it’s very important to be able to help detoxify the body using other methods and by adding Isamune, naturally it detoxifies as well. So it should be a part of every 9 and 30-day cleanse program that Isagenix has.

>> Now, another thing too is you mentioned fat burning. You know, I’ve heard this so many times that when people are going through their 30-day programs and they’ve got substantial amount of weight to lose and they might hit a plateau, you know, one of the first recommendations that people, you know, should add to their order is the Isamune. Let’s talk about fat burning when it comes to the Isamune.

>> Well, first — in two categories. Firstly, we want to detoxify the body. That’s how the nutritional cleansing works in Isagenix. It’s the only way to really lose weight is to — the reason we put fat on is to hide the toxins that are in our body anyway. So Isagenix has the right approach by detoxifying then body then the body doesn’t need to hold that fat. It can now burn it. So now, we burn the fat because we don’t need it. Secondly, colostrum contains leptin. Leptin is a neurotransmitter that is very important in weight loss. Leptin communicates the signal from the stomach to the brain sooner to stop eating. So usually it takes 20 minutes from the signal to get from the stomach on full feeling to the brain. Well, with leptin as a neurotransmitter that is in colostrum, it signals to the brain sooner. So we stop eating sooner. We lower our caloric intake and therefore, we don’t put on as much weight as we need to.

>> Oh, that is so cool. Now, for those of you that have heard Lauren Middek talk about leptin, he also talks about ghrelin and how a lot of the foods that people are eating, they’re so processed and more specifically, the high fructose corn syrup in those nasty processed foods that people are eating, that high fructose corn syrup increase ghrelin which is the hormone that makes people feel like, you know, “You gotta feed me more, feed me more, feed me more.” So that is so interesting to know Dr. Keech that, you know, with leptin being present that, you know, an increase of leptin in the body will shut off that, you know, “feed me” type, you know, to kinda drown out the “feed me” calling out and really making you feel more satisfied–

>> Yeah, let–

[ Simultaneous Talking ]

>> –that is so interesting.

>> Let me put it in little bit simple terms. You know, we talk about ghrelin and leptin and all those wonderful stuff but what people need to know is that when you take foods like high fructose corn syrup and MSG and all these other foods, we crave what we’re allergic to. So if they just keep that thought in their mind, we crave what we’re allergic too. So when we crave MSG, when we crave high fructose corn syrup and these processed foods, it’s because we don’t get a full feeling from it. We have to continue to eat it. Not only is it nutritionally deficient but we’re allergic to it and when we’re allergic to it, we wanna continue to eat it ’cause it’s an irritant. It irritates our stomach linings, it irritates our bowels and for some reason, we crave more of it because it’s not filling and it triggers these other chemical in our body to continue to eat them. These people that create these foods are smart and they wanna just sell more and more. They don’t care whether it’s healthy for you or not. They wanna produce a cheap product and give the shareholders a bigger dividend. But us here at Isagenix, we care about people’s health and we know that health is critical to a long life and a happy life and we’re here to help people. We’re not here to make buck.

>> I love that. Well, let’s talk about the usage. You said that, you know, you can’t overdose on those products but I do know that your body only requires a certain amount. So let’s talk about dosing and actually, Dr. Keech, before you get into that, let’s talk about age because I know that dosing is gonna be different from someone younger versus someone older. So what’s the age, you know, of people that — or children that can take this product?

>> Well, you know, colostrum is designed for babies as soon as they’re born. It’s very important for babies to have colostrum because birth is a physical process. It’s not until the mother feeds the baby the colostrum that then triggers the baby’s immune system to now function on its own. So babies should take colostrum, therefore, babies should take peptides. Babies should take Isamune. So it’s purely safe for them to take it and it will help the baby and it actually has a relaxing affect on the baby too because in relaxing the baby, the baby’s natural immune system has high levels, produces its own high levels of secretory IgA and that is a calming protein or immunoglobulin. So it’s important for babies to take it now. Obviously, babies are smaller, you know. They don’t need to take as much. So they may take 1 or 2 squirts are sufficient for them. Now as babies become infants, they gain weight. They can actually take, you know, 3 sprays once or twice a day. But it’s managing our health. So people should take more Isamune if they’re not well.

If they’ve got a challenging health condition and they wanna maintain their health, they should take more Isamune. As people are healthy and they feel healthy, we then manage our body and keep our body in a homeostatic state, a state of balance. So we maybe ought to just take 1 or 2 sprays a day. And just because we think we’re healthy, we may not be healthy until we become symptomatic. Having symptoms is the end result of errors in the body. We don’t know that we’re really unhealthy. So it’s important for us even though [beeping sound] we feel healthy to take once — take colostrum once or twice a day, okay? So — but people that are symptomatic obviously should take it more often. Now as we become adults, you know, again, once or twice a day is adequate or if people they feel like they’ve got an allergy come on or they feel like they got a cold or flu come on, you wanna take Isamune more and more often, okay? So that would mean 3 or 4 sprays even every 2 hours, even every hour if you’re really symptomatic.

So you can’t overdose on it but I recommend this as well because we’re in a detoxing company, it’s important to take a [beeping sound] full glass of water before we take the Isamune, okay? So we get a full glass of water. So by the time the Isamune helps detoxify the body or the other cleanses that we’re having, those toxins that have been coming into the bloodstream can then be washed away, okay? So it’s important to take a little bit of water before you take the Isamune as well if you can. So from babies through to old people, it doesn’t matter. All of us should be taking it. Babies need less because they’re smaller in weight and people that are bigger need to take more ’cause they have more immune cells in there to actually instruct.

>> Great. Alright. Now, let’s talk. I know that the — one of the bigger questions that we get to on Isamune is because it’s a — you know, these proteins come from colostrum, the first thought is, is this, you know, is there lactose present? So let’s talk about that for a second.

>> In a dose of colostrum, there’s 2 ml in a dose Isamune. We have that 70 milligrams of lactose per dose. Now typically for somebody to get an allergic response, you need 80 or 90 milligrams or more. However, if you think about it, why are people allergic to lactose? It’s a food allergy. It’s an imbalance in special or specific cytokines in the body. You take the peptides from Isamune and that will rebalance that cytokine cascade, cytokine response. Never have we ever had anybody get lactose intolerance from taking Isamune, even there’s a little bit of lactose in there. People all over the world have taken and never had a lactose allergic response because the peptide themselves rebalance that cytokine production so that we don’t have allergies. For example, in my personal life, I’m allergic to milk. I cannot drink milk without having a sinus, you know, sinus plug. I take the Isamune. I wait a few minutes and I can drink milk. So I can drink milk with full of lactose in it, you know. So I know personally that it works for me because I don’t get that sinus blockage anymore, that pro-inflammatory response by simply taking the Isamune first. So let’s–

>> Wow.

>> –fix the lactose intolerance rather than aggravate that.

[ Laughter ]

>> Now, that’s great. That’s good. And you know, lastly I wanted you to talk about Isamune with your pets. Talk to us about your little teacup Chihuahua you got going on there.

>> Well, you know, she has a little personality like most little dogs have and they get into routines. Well, my little Chihuahua or when I walk on at night time, she’s there greeting me with her little toy. She’s got one of those little TY toys and they look big in their mouth because Chihuahuas are really small. So, she’s got one of these little TY toys. She brings me the little toy and I acknowledge it and I pat her and then she says, “[Inaudible] You know, home now daddy’s home, blah, blah, blah.” And then at night she has this little routine. Well, she has to go out, you know, and do her business outside. She comes in. She waits for me to grab my little — grab a little cookie for her. She acknowledges that I grabbed it from the kitchen. I have to put her on the bed. I have to feed her the little cookie and this is a routine that we go through. And then after she has that, she waits [background sound] for my little — to give her some Isamune, you know. And she’ll push me if she doesn’t get the Isamune.

She’s a — you know, a little Chihuahua trying to push me around. I mean I’m 240 pounds. You know, she think she’s 300 but she’s not. So I give her the little Isamune. Actually, what I do is I don’t spray it in her mouth ’cause she’s a small dog. I actually spray it on the cup of my hand and she licks that out of my hand. And then she plays a little bit and then she goes to sleep. She does that every routine, every night and she doesn’t get sick. She’s a happy little dog and you know, everybody should be doing it to their dogs. It’s gonna save a lot of money on vet dose, that’s for sure. So [laughter] you know, it’s just — she just — she knows her little routine and she wants her Isamune. If she doesn’t get her Isamune, she gets mad. And [simultaneous talking] who am I, the fighter, you know.

[ Laughter ]

>> So obviously, Isamune is great for the animals too. That’s very, very cute. I love it and why not. I mean I just — I love my dogs so much and they’re like kids. They’re like your kids and so, giving them great nutrition, you know, great supplementation is a fantastic thing. Alright, so we’ve talked about a lot. I mean we’ve talked about the taste, you know, who can have it, how much to use, storage, is it safe, what is it exactly. Is there anything else that you can think of before we wrap up?

>> I would just say, you know, the thing is with Isamune, you know, I would like to tell the world about Isamune but we can’t. This, you know, we have — we are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and FTC. We’re — we only can say things about immunity and the dietary supplement industry in the world and the US. So I have written a book on Isamune and colostrum. It’s a very general book and hopefully within the next 6 or 7 weeks, we should be able to have it available on the same concepts library. So we’re gonna try that. Look out for that and that will actually be a wonderful training tool that you can use in order to teach people about all the other wonderful stuff that we didn’t talk about today about Isamune. So look for it. Everybody get Isamune, use it. I mean it’s wonderful. I’m just glad to be part of it and to have — be able to make this for everyone. Definitely, everybody should use it and I can’t stress that enough, how important is it as part of a nutritional cleanse program. So, thanks again everybody. I appreciate it. I love talking about this product. I love talking to you Kjersti and I’ll see you nest time.

>> Alright. Well, thank you again Dr. Keech. Always a pleasure and I am so grateful that all of you were able to join us and listen in to tonight’s call. I love the information on this amazing product. The only way you’re gonna learn more about it is to order it yourself and get your hands on some and it’s such a wonderful product and obviously or else we would not have wanted to bring it in to our company making it available through Isagenix. So I do wanna also remind everybody that tonight’s call was intended for educational purposes only and that the product mentioned here tonight is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any kind of disease or illness. And also too, this call has been recorded that will be posted in your back office in your online library for you to reference to and take advantage of anytime you want. So with that being said, we appreciate you again Dr. Keech and again, thank you everybody for being with us. Good night.
