        If it wouldn’t be to much trouble, I would like to find out more about
this product.
        I was diagnosed in June of this year with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
and have recieved 37 radiation treatments and 4 cycles of chemo. My
tumor was reduced to what the doctors say is scar tissue.
        Since my diagnosis I have been taking vitamins which my Doctor
recommended. These vitamins where Antioxidant cell protectors and the
daily dosage contained 12 mg of bata-Carotene.
        I think the increased product of killer T-cells could be  of benifit
to me.
        Thank You in advance.

It was shown to increase killer T-cells by 20% (after a 100-day low carotenoid diet).  
Beta-carotene alone was shown to have a very modest effect, while a *normal* dose of the
carotenoid supplement caused a 20% increase (10% over beta-carotene).  I can e-mail you
