Our immune system consists of sevral different elements of the body. When
strong and functioning properly, it protects our body from many common ailments.
The standard American diet has left us most of our immune systems in sad shape
indeed. Attention to nurition can help to reverse this trend and allow our body
defenses to work at their optimum.

Because the imune system is a primary player in the network of body defenses,
when it is functoing OPTIMALLY, often the comon ailments of colds and fl DO NOT
INFECT us.

Doesn't it seem strange that when a "bug" is going around, some people are
affected and others seem to be able to ward it off? Perhaps the defenses of
these so-called "immune" individuals are just STRONGER. When outr resistance
is down due to stress, lack of sleep, or improper diet, we are usually prone to
contracting diseases.

ORGANS AFFECTED :

Respiratory system - nasal passages, throat, lungs

SPLEEN- MAJOR ORGAN OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM !!!

(heard of this ??? )

Spleen assists in the production of white blood cells that attack viral and
bacterial intruders.

Take care of your stomach & pancreas- because proper digestion is considered the
first step in assuring strong immune response.

A study conducted in Mount Sinai School of Medicine in new York City - found out
the two months after the death of spouses, widowers suffered a depressed immune
function.

->-> It seems that during stressful situations, the body releases large
quantities of a steroid known as cortisol, which limits the ability of the
macropahges ( white blood cells that engulf foreign particles in the blood
stream ) to respond normally to infection.

Other researchers in Ohio State University College of Medicine, found that
subjects increased production of T-cells ( cells that alert the body to
impending invaders) after taking relaxation training.

So, if Stress is a factor in your life, you should take some measures to reduce
the cause or learn techniques to cope with this stress,a s well as take
supllements to strenthen your body's resistance to illness and disease.

Some common vitamins and minerals that are known to be involved with immune
factors :
VITAMIN A - impt. in helping parts of the body that first come in contact
with invading organisms strong,namely, the skin and linings of the respiratory,
digestive and urogenital tracts and the eyes. Enhances the B-cells, producers
of plasma cells, in turn manufacture antibodies.
VITAMIN B-Complex ...B1,B2,B-6,B-12 and folic acid are all important to
immmune system.
VITAMIN C- immune enhancer
VITAMIN D & E - immune enhancer

OOOOOPPPPS ---so does it mean that I go rush to the store and pik up these
vitamins ????? Hold it. Think about how these companies manufacture these
vitamins ! Quality , made from natural sources ( plant-origin ) is preferred
by me than chemically processed. Why? Because I get more from it- includes
enzymes, aminoacids etc.... that help me digest and assimilate these products.

Beware !!! Too much of these too can actually SUPPRESS immune-system
effectivenes !

MINERALS :
ZINC _ co-factor in more than 100 enzymes!
- defieciency in zinc can lead to a
reduction in the number of T-cells.
SELENIUM - anti-oxidant, which means protecting our cell
walls from oxidation. Enhances Vitamin E effects.

Are you aware of the latest technologies and discoveries that can actually fight
these viruses and bacteria ? Do you know the difference between a virus and
bacteria? You cannot just take "antibiotics" when you are sick and expect
early recovery. If you are having a viral infection like colds and flu, taking
antibiotics can actually prolong your recovery. All you need is take
supplements that should "boost " your immune system and let your body
produce these "macrophages" that will engulf these infectious invaders. If
your are sick with "baterial" infections, of course, antibiotics will "kill"
these invaders.
