Yes. I've been using ImmunoProRx from Well Wisdom, www.wellwisdom.com.

It is not a whey protein isolate, though, but a concentrate. Big 
difference, apparently. Also, it is not a byproduct of the cheese 
industry, like most whey proteins, so it hasn't had high-temp 
pasteurization and denaturing. Also, it is from grass-only California 
cows. I use it for immediate post-workout recovery in a shake with 
some added glucose, salt, and no fat. Also some glutamine, leucine, 
and creatine. Following Jeff Volek's routine from his book "TNT Diet". 
He advocates very low carb 24/7, except just before and after a short 
and intense weight workout. It's short so you don't get into cortisol. 
The glucose gives you an insulin response so the amino acids go 
rapidly into the muscle cells, but the insulin doesn't cause you to 
store fat because your glycogen stores are already low from 
low-carbing. The insulin will make you replenish glycogen before 
getting into fat storage, and then you're back to low carb. You use no 
fat with the whey for rapid digestion and rapid gastric-clearing.

I also use it for bouts of weight loss and visceral fat elimination, 
the way Eades lays out in his new book. It is very good for satiety. 
Three shakes and one meat meal is all you need in a day.

It is very expensive, but I get it re-branded by Designs for Health. 
They call it Whey Cool (NOT to be confused with www.wheycool.com, 
which is NOT the same thing). I have a nutritionist friend with a 
wholesale account at Emerson Ecologics, and she gets it for me for 
about $34 for a 900 gram jar, which is less than a third of the prices 
you'll see elsewhere.

I highly recommend Volek's book, and the Eades's new book, btw.
