THE IMMUNE SYSTEM - The Body's Security System

The immune system recognizes viruses, bacteria and any foreign bodies and signals the brain to activate immune processes. It consists of lymph nodes, blood proteins (known as immunoglobins), specialized white blood cells known as lymphocytes, the organ that produce these cells and the blood vessels that transport them.

Common Concerns:
  • Viral/bacterial attack
  • Fatique
  • Stress
  • Cancer
  • AIDS
  • TIPS ON IMPROVING IMMUNE FUNCTION:

    The following are come good tips to boosting immune function, and ultimately achieving improved levels of health.

    • Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and kohlrabi contain phyto-nutrients that protect against infections and cancer. Foods containing plant hormones (known as phyto-estrogens) such as isoflavones and lignans, are soybeans, and their products, alfalfa and flaxseed.
    • Ensure adequage intake of the most important minerals for the immune system--magnesium 400 mg daily, zinc chelate 20 mg daily, and selenium 200 mcg daily. These minerals are needed for immune function and are anti-inflammatory. (li)Avoid mucous producing foods--animal milks, cheese, ice-cream, cream, preserved meats, processed foods are the biggest culprits.
    • Avoid tobacco, smoking and alcohol.

    IMMUNE SYSTEM PRODUCTS:

    ELDERBERRY DEFENSE
    Recent research suggests that elderberry, a plant long used to treat colds, may have some antiviral activity. This combination also includes Echinacea, a popular immune stimulant, a royal jelly, a highly nutritious substance produced by bees. Royal jelly contains all the B vitamins, 18 amino acids, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients.

    TRIGGER IMMUNE (IMM-C)
    A combination of 18 Chinese herbs, IMM-C offers immune-stimulating benefits. This formula was designed to increase energy or "chi."

Use IMM-C for general "run-down" conditions.

    PAU D'ARCO
    The pau d'arco tree grows as tall as 100 feet in tropical forests in south America. Unlike other trees in this humid climate, pau d'arco does not develop fungus growth. Pau d'arco contains a chemical called lapachol, which may provide nutritional support to the immune system. It is commonly used against many conditions of unwanted growth, including fungus, yeast and tumors.

    SUPER ANTIOXIDANT
    This exclusive formation of several powerful antioxidants provides free radical-fighting protection against breakdown. Super Antioxidant contains tocotrienols, lycopene and alpha-lipoic acid in a base of rose hips, milk thistle and turmeric. Tocotrienols can penetrate the fatty membranes of cells, taking their antioxidant prope rties deep within the cells. Lycopene, found in tomatoes, has been linked to prostate health in men. Alpha-lipoic acid is both fat- and water-soluble and can move through the entire cell, scavenging free radicals. Rose hips provide a natural source of vitamin C, carotenoids and flavonoids for immune-system support. Turmeric contains curcumin, which protect liver tissue and promotes healthy cholesterol levels.

    ULTIMATE ECHINACEA
    Hugely popular in both Europe and the U.S., echinacea is a bitter herb with a long list of beneficial properties. It contains polysaccharides that stimulate the production of phagocytes (cells that engulf and consume foreign matter) and activate T-lymphocytes, macrophages and natural killer cells. Taken at the earliest sign of a cold or infection, echinacea may help cut recovery time remarkably. Ultimate Echinacea combines the benefits of three powerful echinacea species in a liquid extract.

    • Effective inhibition and prevention of enfection by wide range of pathological microes, including viruses, basteria, retroviruses, fungi, parasites, yeast and molds.
    • The enhancement of elasticity of arteries, which improves blood flow, reduces high blood pressure levels by causing constricted arteries to relax and become more flexible, thereby allowing for more blood flow, and prevents the progression of other forms of hear disease.
    • The relief of inflammation related to arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Improvement in symptoms of chronic fatique syndrome and related disorders.
    • Ability to fight free radical production.
    • Prevention and treatment of many types of viral infections, including the herpes viruses, most influenza and common cold viruses, Epstein-Barr viruses, the HIV virus, the cytomegalovirus, and others.
