Other Names : Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor, Gc-MAF<br>
GcMAF is a human protein that all healthy people have inside them, it has 20 attacks on disease that we know about at the moment, and the immune system doesn’t work without hence making it a very import protein in your body. When a disease comes along it will try to prevent your body from producing your own GcMAF. GcMAF is a natural protein-derived macrophage activating factor derived from a functional change in the Gc protein, which is a vitamin D binding protein. In simple English, Gc-MAF (which is a naturally occurring protein in the body) kicks macrophages (a type of white cell which kills invasive cells) into action so that they can then attack and destroy cancer cells (and indeed almost all rogue cells - like viruses).

* In one study, GcMAF is described as being complexed with oleic acid (OA), which is found in olive oil. Additionally, the OA-GcMAF is prescribed alongside a low carbohydrate, high protein diet; vitamin D3, omega-3 fatty acids, low dose aspirin, and fermented dairy products containing naturally-occurring GcMAF; While GcMAF has anti-proliferative, anti-metastatic abilities, oleic acid has its own anticancer properties and may assist in binding to cell membranes. Together, they are 200 times more potent than GcMAF alone in destroying cancer cells in vitro. They also increase levels of nitric oxide, which has anticancer as well as antihypertensive properties.

* On the GcMAF website, the ´treatment´ protocol talks about diet and avoiding sugar - it seems a standard [[Ketogenic Diet]]. It talks of increasing oxygen levels and the importance of exercise and the need for trace minerals, amino acids and vitamin D.(https://gcmaf.se/)
