NK Cells also produce cytokines, which are signaling molecules that act as traffic cops by directing immune cells toward areas of trauma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immuno-oncology boosts levels of NK Cells<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An NK Cells analysis was conducted with 129 cancer patients receiving treatment at Issels\u00ae. The <a href=\"https:\/\/issels.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/20\/chemotherapy-takes-a-back-seat-to-immunotherapy-for-one-patient\/\">non-toxic protocols<\/a> included various combinations of therapies such as immuno-stimulants, intravenous delivery of high-dose nutritional, phytotherapy with herb- and plant-based medicines, and lifestyle and dietary modifications. Each patient&#8217;s program is personalized to meet individual needs.<\/p>\n<p>After only three weeks of treatment, patients will typically show an average increase of about 48 percent in absolute NK Cell levels. This significant improvement demonstrates the value of non-toxic immunotherapy for fighting and surviving cancer while maintaining a high quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Chemotherapy, radiation and other aggressive treatments often have debilitating side effects.
