Strengthen Your Immune System And Fight Colds, Infections, Flu & Cancer


Your immune system plays two vital roles in your body.

First, it responds to foreign organisms by producing antibodies and stimulating specialized cells which destroy those organisms or neutralize their toxic products. In this manner, it defends against foreign invaders: germs, viruses, bacteria, and the like.

And second, it stands guard over the cells of your body to ensure that they are not abnormal or degenerating. (Normally, there are anywhere between 100 to 10,000 abnormal cells floating around in our bodies at any point in time—produced as part of the normal metabolic process.)

In many ways, your immune system is the most awesome system in your body, easily rivaling your brain in terms of complexity, subtlety, and “self-awareness.”

Problems That Can Occur with the Immune System


Problems that can occur are:


The Immune System is overwhelmed by too many invaders.
The Immune System becomes weakened and vulnerable to attack.
The Immune System becomes misprogrammed and loses the ability to identify invaders or mutated cells.
The Immune System becomes misprogrammed and begins to mistakenly identify healthy body cells as the enemy and begins to attack them.
The Immune System is compromised or missing some key component at birth.

Of these problems, the first four are, in most cases, correctable. Only when the body is born without the ability to produce a key component are our options truly limited—but not necessarily hopeless.

OPTIMIZING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IN FOUR EASY STEPS


Since the purpose of the body's immune system is to defend against attack and help initiate repair, the better it does it, the healthier we are. Surprisingly, not only are the natural immune boosters and pathogen destroyers safer than the drug approach (having far fewer side effects); they are also far more powerful than their pharmaceutical counterparts:

Improve Overall Immune Function—to allow the body to better defend itself.

Building Your Immune System and Destroying Pathogens.

Kill And Destroy Unfriendly Invaders—
We need to specifically target (kill/destroy) invading bacteria, viruses, microorganisms and other related pathogens—to help out the immune system, as it were. Antibiotics and antivirals are not necessarily as effective as you might think. Why Antibiotics and Antivirals Fail.

Clean Up Environmental Issues—
Air pollution, water pollution, and heavy metal exposure all work to compromise the effectiveness of your immune system. You need to filter your water, clean up the air in your house, and remove heavy metals form your body on a regular basis to keep your immune system optimized.

Correct Diet and Lifestyle Choices--
As with any anti-aging program, a strong immunity program relies heavily on a healthy diet loaded with fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, which we will cover down below. A poor diet, on the other hand, can cause our entire system to turn upside down starting from an unbalanced digestive system to a troubled elimination system—all of which affect your immune system's ability to do its job. Some simple dietary rules to follow:

Stop Smoking—
if you smoke, stop. But you already knew that.

Avoid Sugar—
research shows that white blood cells have a decreased ability to engulf bacteria when exposed to high levels of sugar, thus suppressing your immune system and your ability to fight infection. A 1976 study, for example, published in Dental Survey found that drinking 24 ounces of sugared cola depressed the activity of bacteria eating neutrophils for a minimum of five hours. Stick to natural sweeteners that are low on the glycemic index. And, if you are wondering what artificial sweeteners can do to your immune system, read this report.

Limit coffee—
research suggests that even though coffee may have some antioxidants, the high acid levels can impeded the villi of the small intestine, affecting your body's ability to assimilate nutrients, especially calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It also dehydrates the body. Green tea is a healthier alternative. If you drink coffee, drink 2 glasses of additional water for every cup of coffee, and take a mineral supplement to offset the loss caused by the coffee.

Reduce alcohol—
alcohol abuse is associated with immune deficiencies and an increased incidence of infectious diseases.

Eat healthy fats—
Omega 3's & 6's help the immune system recognize what is self/non-self—key for controlling cancer, and they are needed by the immune system to manufacture prostaglandins, which kill germs and invaders. And be sure to keep your consumption of Omega 3's and 6's in balance.

Eliminate Toxic Food from Your Diet—
as much as possible, avoid unnatural substances frequently found in commercial food that impact your health such as pesticides, insecticides, genetically modified foods, irradiated foods, food additives, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, etc.

There are over 3000 different chemicals added to our food, and nobody knows the effects of the various additives when used together in the thousands of combinations inside our bodies over time.

Raise you pH—
as much as possible, eat foods (primarily vegetables and some fruit) that raise your body's pH. Beneficial supplements include the minerals calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Avoid excesses of meat, dairy, sugars, and cooked grain—all of which make your body more acidic.

Other Issues


Downfalls of an Over-Reactive Immune System.
The bottom line is yes, you want your immune system to respond strongly to any pathogens -- but not too strongly. If it responds too strongly, the costs can outweigh the benefits. An overactive immune system can lead to sustained systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, overactive responses to allergens, even death, as in the case of avian flu. In this comprehensive report, learn what you can do to protect yourself, naturally and effectively.

Cancer and Your Immune System.
Every single day of your life your body produces anywhere from a few hundred to as many as 10,000 cancerous cells as part of it's normal metabolic processes. That means no one, by definition, is ever cancer free, ever. The difference is whether that cancer takes root and grows, or is destroyed by your immune system. While the option of a mouse inspired miracle immune cell injection may be a future option for humans, it is not an option today. That leaves you only one option available right now: to optimize the immunity you already have.

Circulating Immune Complexes.
At a certain point, when the macrophage immune system is totally overwhelmed, the “complementary immune system” (AKA the complement system) kicks in. This secondary system is comprised of approximately 25 proteins/enzymes that activate in a cascading sequence and end with what's called the “membrane attack complex.” As its name implies, this complex attacks the cell walls of invaders. A secondary function of the complementary immune system is to help rid the body of CIC's (circulating immune complexes) as discussed in Chapter 5. If the overload on the complementary immune system is great enough, severe inflammation of tissue, caused by the activity of albumins, can result. The bottom line is that the body's tissue literally begins to attack itself. That is to say, we now have an autoimmune condition![/size]

Really good read FIST !!!
Torres

Thank you sir.Glad you liked it. Its truly amazing just how many ailments,and diseases that can be treated,and even cured through ones diet.I always laugh at how naive so many people are when it comes to things like this.Their beliefs are that "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CURE THINGS LIKE CANCER THROUGH DIET"??

My reply is you know that certain foods if abused can CAUSE cancer right? So why is it so hard to believe that a long term diet of the RIGHT kinds of foods can prevent and help cure it?? Now of course you'll have the idiots out there that will say things like "SURE,ILL EAT AN ORANGE AND CURE MY CANCER".Well to those same idiots I say...."ITS NOT THAT EATING ONE ORANGE WILL CURE IT,ITS ABOUT TREATING YOURSELF WITH HIGH DOSES OF VITAMIN C FOR LONG ENOUGH PERIODS OF TIME THAT HAVE PROVEN SCIENTIFIC DATA PROVING JUST HOW EFFECTIVE IT CA BE AT CURING THINGS.


It all comes down to this guys,I truly believe that PREVENTION is the best way go about living a long healthy life.Being "PRO-ACTIVE" rather than "RE-ACTIVE" Prevent ailments and diseases by eating a healthy diet with foods proven to prevent things.But also,when it comes down to it,if you are one that does come down with a life threatening disease would you not want to try EVERYTHING possible to cure it?? If I was told that I was facing a death sentence and there were enough people saying that eating lolli pops cured them,id be eating them all day long in the hopes of being cured.Does that mean I would believe it in whole heartedly from the beginning? Hell no but I would sure as hell be willing to try it.

But there are PLENTY of research papers PROVING health through diet and supps alone so I have no reason to think that I know better.
