Challenges to the immune system can be very serious. Some people have died in battling some of the types of flu circulating in recent times. Virtually everyone has herpes, and most have yeast overgrowth. There are worse viruses than herpes out there, even worse ones than HIV, and immune strength may not be adequate to meet the challenges.

Also, new and meaner strains of bacteria are developing, and some of them have become resistant to antibiotics. MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is one that can be deadly. The broad overuse of antibiotics, including adding it to livestock feed, has given these microbes the opportunity to develop such resistance.

"Flu shots" and vaccinations are not solutions. Injecting a contaminant into the body is a toxifying stress, which, despite the promotion by the medical establishment and the media, has never been proven effective. Such a stress on immune health has a long term weakening effect. Many who get such shots soon get ill from the vaccine itself.

The reason people are susceptible to illness from microbes is that their immune systems have become weak due to a lifestyle of stress, toxicity and malnutrition. The body becomes overly acid and conditions are hospitable to invading microorganisms.

Most of the body’s fluid is lymph, which carries nutrients to cells and wastes away from cells. The lymphatic system can also become overwhelmed with toxins from the common diet and lifestyle, particularly if too little pure water is consumed.

Without one to two quarts of pure water per day, the lymph and the blood can become thickened like sludge. Further, exercise and deep breathing are needed to move the lymph fluid along so that the waste can be processed.

How vulnerable are you? The truth is that it depends on how strong, how prepared, and how responsive your immune system is. It is NOT chemical "miracle" drugs that will save you. It will be your immune system that will protect and save you, or not!

It is crucial to build immune system health now and for good. A strong immune system is absolutely needed to handle the immune challenges that are already circulating, with more to come.

IMMUNE SYSTEM HELP

In addition to getting good rest, minimizing junk foods such as sugar, white flour and trans-fats, and detoxifying and alkalizing the body, there are special nutritional supplements that assist the body and provide immune support in dealing with invaders.

~ Antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, OPC's (as from grape seed), curcuminoids (as from the turmeric used in curry powder), ellagitannins (as from red raspberries), lignans (as from flax seeds), phytosterols (hormonal precursors found in foods such as soybeans and flax seeds), tocotrienols (as from rice bran), carotenoids (from algaes and red/yellow plant foods, other phytonutrients (such as xanthones & flavonols from a variety of unique fruits), and negative ion hydrogen.

~ Probiotics, such as L. acidophilus, L. bifidus, L. Salivarius, L. Plantarum, and many others. A number of these should be taken together to establish a mutually-supportive colony. Taking just one or a few is inadequate.
~ Enzymes are active agents in the body, helping with many metabolic activities. Protease, the enzyme that breaks down protein, works on the protein in the outer layers of microbes including viruses. White blood cells use a type of this enzyme to destroy invaders. Lipase enzyme reduces fat, helping penetrate viruses, which have lipids in their coating. Amylase helps clean up the body's organic wastes. Cellulase improves the movement of fluids across membranes.

~ Herbs that help the immune system include echinacea, larrea extract (also called "shegoi" -- the most effective anti-viral agent), pollen extract, black cumin, oregano oil, Chinese wolfberry and the allicin from garlic.

(NOTE: The allicin in almost all garlic products, including the "aged" ones is nil. There is one type of allicin which has been prepared with a proprietary process that protects the fragile allicin. This is greatly more effective than other garlic products.)

~ Other special nutrients offering outstanding help for the immune system include ionic sub-colloidal silver, negative ion hydrogen, glutathione and beta glucans.

Those with "autoimmune" problems, can use some of these that do not actually stimulate the immune activity. You may want to check on larrea extract, enzymes, negative hydrogen, ionic subcolloidal silver, allicin, and/or effective probiotics and other agents that either work directly on invader microbes or create conditions that are not favorable to them.

Immune Support Is Crucial

The number 1 threat to our health, and indeed our very existence, is not the bombs of terrorists, it is the threat of out-of-control INFECTIOUS DISEASES!!!

Medical authorities are completely aware that they are barely "one step ahead of catastrophe", and are by their own admission, frustrated and frightened. Even so, they remain reluctant to speak openly about what many consider to be inevitable; a world essentially unable to defend itself against an onslaught of diseases for which there remains no effective medical treatment.

The miracle "chemical" drugs that we have relied on to fight and control disease for the past 50 years have been coming back to haunt us, with a vengeance. The perception in the 1960's that we had conquered almost every infectious disease has become nothing more than an illusion. Tiny terrrorists, called "Antibiotic-Resistant Super Bugs", are out there.

For the past 10 years, a few courageous voices have been speaking out, and the warning has been given. These have come from reliable sources that include statistics from Public Health professionals, medical journals, and other published studies from other well-known sources, and medical researchers, including immunologists and virologists.

This threat is real! Scientists have documented cases of antibiotic-resistance since the 1950's, but fears of unconquerable bacteria were drowned in a steady stream of new, more powerful antibiotics.

It has been known since the dawn of the "antibiotic age", in the 1940's, that the more an antibiotic is used, the quicker it becomes "use-less", simply because of natural selection. The drugs do kill most of the bacteria, but the fittest will survive, and pass on survival traits to their offspring, creating even stronger pathogens.

Notwithstanding awareness of the problem, it is estimated that fully 190 MILLION doses of antibiotics are administered DAILY in American hospitals, and more than 133 MILLION courses of antibiotics are prescribed by physicians, YEARLY to non-hospitalized patients.

The first penicillin-resistant pneumococcus was discovered in 1967, in Papua, New Guinea. It is now the deadliest bacteria in the United States. Over 50,000 Americans die annually from exposure to pneumococcus.

By 1992, another of the "Super Bugs", Enterococci , had become the third most frequent "causative agent" of hospital-acquired wounds and urinary tract infections, septisemia and endocarditis.

Once categorized as a low-key bacterium, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), has mutated into the fastest growing disease in America, and when it gets into the bloodstream, it becomes a virtual death sentence. Well over 100,000 people die every year in America from hospital-acquired infections.

Since 1978, over 30, often virulent diseases, have been discovered, and new ones are still being discovered, causing hundreds of thousands of serious health problems and hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths, right here in America! Many of the old ones, like tuberculosis, are staging a comeback.

There are more deaths from TB now than at any time in history. There is more TB in New York City, alone, than in many Third World countries!

According to Dr. James Hughes, Director of the National Center for Infectious Disease (NCID), "We're facing a serious global problem with antimicrobial resistance now, and it affects virtually all of the pathogens we previously considered very treatable. Today, we have only one drug to treat some infections, and once they become resistant to that one drug, we will basically be back in the pre-antibiotic era."

Nearly five years ago, Dr. David Williams, author, researcher and medical practitioner, warned, "Over the next ten years, wave after wave of drug-resistant bacteria will sweep over the planet, killing millions. The onslaught has already begun!"

About the same time, Dr. Daryl See, world renowned researcher and virologist, warned, "We live in a world with more and more dangerous infectious diseases. We virologists are shaking in our boots. We expect a flu pandemic within the next 3-5 years that we estimate could kill up to 60 MILLION people around the world, with 1 million or more right here in America."
