It protects the body against
infection and the development of cancer.
We can support and enhance our immune
systems through good habits, vitamin and mineral supplementation, herbs
and a health nervous system.
The Immune
System consists of the following:
Thymus, Spleen, White Blood Cells, Macrophages, Mast Cells.
The test of a
weakened immune system:
- Do you catch colds easily?
- Do you get more the 2 colds per year?
- Do you have a chronic infection?
- Do you get frequent cold sores or
genital herpes?
- Are your lymph glands sore and swollen
at times?
- Do you have or have you had cancer?
If you answered yes to any of these
questions then you would be a candidate for strengthening your immune
system.
How can we strengthen
our immune system?
- Rest and adequate sleep
- Drink ample fluids during infections
- Limit simple sugar consumption
(including fruit sugars) to less then 50 grams per day (Obesity
decreases immune function)
- Multivitamin/Mineral formula, high
potency Antioxidants-protect the Thymus gland
- Thymus extract
- Spleen extract
- Botanicals: Echinacea helps the immune
system even in healthy people
- Astragalus is a traditional Chinese
medicine to combat viruses
- Breast feeding our babies may
stimulate the growth of babies' thymus glands
- Insure proper and regular nerve supply
to the immune systems through chiropractic adjustments
In summary, support and enhance your
immune system with rest, antioxidants, vitamins/minerals, thymus and
spleen extract, Echinacea, Astragalus and Chiropractic.
