[cancercured] Effective Beta Glucan Anti-Cancer Alternatives to MGN-3 ?

Hello folks.

Anyone have any tips on choosing Beta Glucan type supplements to include in
a daily healing anti-cancer regimen?

What are some of the seemingly most effective beta glucan containing
anti-cancer alternatives to MGN-3?

Maybe someone has a "save your money - buy brand 'y' or 'z' instead of brand
'x'" kind of tip, or a "make sure to buy brand 'x' because that is where all
of the research and testimonials is" kind of tip?

Maybe some of you know of some of them that are actually used by healing
clinics and centers that are holistic, integrative, naturopathic, etc.?

Your comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks much!
Glen from Illinois, USA

P.S. Below are some examples of what (I think) are all beta glucan type
supplements that I have come across. Any comments on any of them? Thanks!

============================
* Side Note:
AVE /AVEMAR:
I also see (at the American Biosciences website) another interesting
supplement... To be clear, I have not read that it provides beta glucans, but it is an interesting supplement nonetheless:

Ave/Avemar - (http://www.americanbiosciences.com/ave.asp)

[quote at above website - "Ave is the first dietary supplement available in the U.S. to contain the novel nutrient, Avemar."]

I think I saw its benefits discussed briefly at The DCA Site:
