A method for moderating the rate of cellular mitosis in a living mammalian tissue having a pathologically elevated rate of cellular mitosis sensitive to treatment with a solution below which comprises perfusing said tissue under mitotic growth conditions with a safe and effective amount and concentration of a composition consisting essentially of a) inositol hexaphosphate or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof; and b) a source of inositol or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof, for a period of time sufficient to moderate the elevated rate of cellular mitosis to a normal, non-pathological rate for said tissue. The method is useful in human and mammalian diseases wherein NK cell activity is altered in the laboratory, e.g. tumors, other cancers including leukemia, immunosuppressed individuals (AIDS and transplant recipients), and in viral, fungal or protozoal infections.
