Abstract: A cysteine-rich undenatured whey-derived protein formulation did not interfere with the tumor-cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy and did not have a negative effect on the clinical outcome, that is, negatively affect survival and increase mortality. Indeed, use of a high-cysteine undenatured whey derived protein in the treatment of cancer patients resulted in an increase in patient survival.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of treatment of patients having lesions resulting from cancer cells and to an application as an anti-cancer composition of undenatured whey protein concentrate.

Abstract: Undenatured whey protein concentrate is administered to HIV-seropositive individuals to elevate their blood mononuclear cells, glutathione (GSH) level, body weight and sense of well being. In addition T-helper cells concentration and their T-helper cells/T-suppressor cells ratio are slightly elevated.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a whey protein composition comprising a suitable concentration of whey protein concentrate wherein the whey protein concentrate contains proteins which are present in an essentially undenatured state and wherein the biological activity of the whey protein concentrate is dependent on the overall amino acid and small peptides pattern resulting from the contribution of all its protein components and a method of producing said whey protein composition. The invention also relates to several applications of said composition.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of improving the humoral immune response or increasing the concentration levels of glutathione in mammals, which comprises administering orally to a mammal a therapeutically or a prophylactically effective amount of undenatured whey protein concentrate which has a biological activity based on the overall amino acid and associated small peptides pattern resulting from the contribution of all its protein components. A method for improving the humoral immune response in mammals also is disclosed which comprises administering orally to a mammal the combination of a vitamin supplement containing vitamin B.sub.2 in an amount in excess of minimum daily requirements and an effective amount of undenatured whey protein concentrate. This invention further provides a dietary supplement for a mammal which comprises an effective amount of vitamin B.sub.1, and B.sub.2 and a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of whey protein supplement.
