Super charge your immune system

The immune system is a complex, intermixed network of tissues,
organs and cells that protector the body against illness and infections. White
blood cells, in all their various types and forms, are the key instrument of
the immune system. Their main role is to obliterate bacteria, viruses and
allergens, as well as contaminated body cells.

Some work by engulfing infectious agents, while others create
antibodies. Maintaining vigorous body of white blood cells, and supporting the
organs that create them, is necessary to good health.



Ways to preserve the immune system include:

1) Maintaining a positive emotional state — When we are cheerful our
immune system functions better. On the other hand, when we are disheartened or
depressed our immunity tends to be suppressed.

2) Reducing stress — When we are stressed or worried our adrenal glands
create hormones that slow down or inhibit the production and function of white
blood cells.

3) Living a healthy lifestyle — Having the proper body weight, doing
regular exercise, taking sufficient rest and eating a balanced diet
(especially eating more protein, fruits and vegetables, and less sugar and
alcohol) are very important to healthy immunity.

4) Taking immune-support supplements —This is always the big question:
Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are essential to practically every
function of the immune system. To make sure you are getting enough, take a
potent multivitamin along with extra vitamin C, which supports white blood
cell function.* Herbs such as andrographis, astragalus and echinacea can also
support the immune system.



Immune boosters:

To significantly boost your viral immunity-especially if you often get
colds and other respiratory infections-take the following two supplements
every day..

vitamin C, twice per day. 15mg of zinc, once per day with food In
addition, it is recommend rotating three over-the-counter(OTC) supplements.

* On this programme. you take a different supplement for one month at a
time. After implementation the three-month cycle, repeat the, rotation.What
this does is prevent you from developing a tolerance to the supplements'
immune-boosting effects. Available in capsules, liquid and powder, the
supplements are sold at pharmacies and health-food stores.

Take Warning: Do not take immune-boosting supplements if you
suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or other autoimmune diseases.

The three supplements that you need to rotate are:

Reishi Mushroom- Reishi contains more than 100 substances many of
which are known for their ability to support our immune defenses.

Turkey Tail Mushroom :This mushroom is natural and is known to
have healing essentials to strengthen the body against illness and disease.

Turkey Tail healing properties:

Its main property is to strengthen the immune system, particularly by
enhancing the workings of one of the most significant cells, known as T helper
cells. T helper cells tell all the other cells in the immune system what to do
and to what level, and when to discontinue.

For instances in cancer, the runaway cells often secrete compounds known
as cytokines that give false signals to immune cells to stop working. This
further enhances the capability of the cancer to survive.

An unfortunate side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is that
they further damage the immune system, in part by inadvertently killing T
helper cells.

Turkey tail mushroom has been the subject of a large number of
controlled clinical trials in Asia showing that it can help rebuild the immune
system in people with a wide variety of cancers.

The benefit is quite potent, for it has been demonstrated again and
again that turkey tail, taken together with mainstream cancer therapies,
significantly lengthens lifespan by as much as double.

Turkey tail is not a magic cure for cancer, but it can certainly extend
life.Turkey tail may also improve quality of life by reducing defencelessness
to infections and other negative effects of having a suppressed immune system.

More research is needed to quantify these effects, but they should not
be ignored, as living well is just as significant as living.Because of its
positive effects on the immune system, it's possible that turkey tail mushroom
could prevent cancer or help other conditions in which immune suppression is a
major problem, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Research
has yet to be done to investigate turkey tail's potential promise.

Turkey Tail preparation and dosage:

The usual dose is 2 to 3 grams of dried, powdered turkey tail mushrooms
three times per day, either mixed into food or put into capsules. Crude turkey
tail mushroom has been used successfully in traditional medicine for thousands
of years Preventative measure :Turkey tail should not be taken with
immunosuppressive drugs, such as those prescribed to people with organ
transplants, without first consulting your doctor.



Larix: This is a compound made from the larch tree, which is rich
in polysaccharides. The main benefit is that it is know to increases the
body’s production of virus fighting scavenger cells.



In my opinion..one of the best maintainers of the immune system is a
daily dose of:



Aloe Vera. Many studies have shown that Aloe Vera works with
the immune system...it does this by replenishing the nutrients as
required.There are millions of people who rely on Aloe Vera every day to aid
digestion and absorption of nutrients, to add vitamins,minerals to their
diets, but above all to promote and protect their immune system.
