GcMAF - a new direction in health with Candice Bradstreet

GcMAF - what is it?  And can it help you on your journey to better health?   

GcMAF (Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor) is a protein that is naturally produced by the body and plays an important role in the healthy functioning of the immune system, and especially in activated macrophages, the white blood cells that protect against cancerous cells, bacteria and ‘foreign substances.’

The GcMAF theory postulates that people who are immunocompromised have low levels of the protein and are more susceptible to cancer, multiple sclerosis and other systemic conditions. Cancer cells produce an enzyme, nagalase, that shuts down macrophage activity, and so the typical cancer patient has high levels of nagalase and low levels of GcMAF.

This theory – and the discovery of GcMAF – is the work of Dr Nobuto Yamamoto, a biophysicist who announced his discovery in 1991 while working at Hahnemann Medical College (now Drexel University College of Medicine) in Philadelphia.

Candice has been in the Natural Health field for over twenty years. Her passion is empowering people to take control of their own health so that her services are not needed.  Candice believes the body has amazing healing capabilities and assists and guides those when needed.  Candice sees her job one of listening and assisting you in overcoming obstacles.  

Her desire for natural health began while working with her brother in law (the late Dr. Jeff Bradstreet) at his International Autism Center in 1997.  Candice continued her education by attending Trinity Natural School of Health where she earned her Certified Clinical Nutritionist Degree.
