I know im probably rocking the boat a bit here, but a quick search on Imunozen brings up many sites selling or recommending this product with great anecdotal “evidence”. this is no more than a sales pitch on a website trying to push their latest wonder pill. I tried to find credible research on imunozen, an found nothing. If you type the words imunozen and research into google the third site that is found is this thread, hardly an advert for a new wonder drug.

http://www.588firm.com/id83.html
this site makes grand claims for imunozen and states that a double blind test at the university of guelp can have a beneficial effect on immune parameters, this is next to no evidence at all. A single trial (which I am unable to find on their website or anywhere else) which the site claims without referencing and the fact that I cannot find any evidence on this product in any medical journals (the lancet,BMJ etc) leaves me slightly mistrustfull.
I suggest before you invest some hard earned cash on this product you do a little thinking on the Placebo effect. During the Vietnam war when Morphine ran out it was found that in 60% of cases an administration of saline (under the guise of morphine) had similar pain relieving effects. The placebo effect of telling kids, teachers and parents in durham that fish oil will improve concentration lead to a rise in exam passes, however the “trails” were not carried out in any proper scientific manner and were therefore unreliable (their was a small rise in marks, however this is assumed to be because the kids were all told they would concentrate more and so they did”) this has lead to massive sales of omega3 oils. There is a common assumption that new age/old world/organic/homeopathic remedies are better than modern medicines which are of course part of the new world order and controlled by “the man”. This is eronous and often dangerous.
I don’t want to ramble on too much and perhaps ( but I doubt it) this product does what it says on the tin, time will tell. I do suggest though you try reading Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. http://www.badscience.net/. This is very enlighting.
