Immune system breakdown
The following article gives some information about the immune
system and why it is important to ensure you have an efficient
immune system.
As part of our regular newsletter there will be examples
of successful natural methods to help boost the immune system
to help ward off infection in this contaminated age in which
we live.
Boosting the immune system
The Immune System is the body's defence mechanism to handle
invaders. It is an amazing work of nature. It does a very good
job of fighting off illnesses and infections when it is in
good condition. The way it works is beyond the scope of this
article as it is highly complex and finely tuned. Unfortunately,
when it is not in peak condition, your immune system can fail
to operate as well as it should.
Certain key herbs can help
There are many factors which can cause the immune system to
deteriorate. Some of them include poor diet, not enough sleep,
not enough exercise, too much stress and many other factors.
Thankfully it is possible to increase the strength of your
immune system and there are certain herbs mentioned below
which can have a tremendous effect.

Laughter and a cheerful outlook
Laughter has long been held as the "Best Medicine" and,
in fact, science has now found that every cell in the body
has a receptor for the substances produced when we are happy.
Every cell is therefore influenced by how we feel. Our first
line of defence against any disease is therefore Happiness!
This might be easier said than done but one tip is to look
around and find something that you can be happy or cheerful
about. Force yourself to smile. It works, try it and see.
Move your body and boost your circulation
Disease
often follows any blockage in the body's intricate mechanism.
Therefore another defence against disease is to keep your
body and its
mechanisms MOVING! This means moving the body muscles as in
regular exercise as well as moving the internal involuntary
muscles.
Large internal muscles make up the walls of the esophagus,
the stomach, alimentary canal, colon, bladder and other internal
organs. When these are working normally, and moving the food
through the body, the body's Immune System works efficiently.
Two or three bowel movements per day will ensure that the body's
Defence System is not put under any excess strain. Any less
frequency in bowel movements causes putrid material to leak
into the body cavity. Less frequent bowel movements will weaken
the bodies immune system and can lead to serious internal diseases.
We strongly recommend our Detox programs to you.

The defence system of the body starts with the skin - a waterproof
layer containing bacterial sweat and other protective secretions.
It is important to allow the skin to breathe and not cover
it with harmful chemicals or non absorbent clothing. Internally
the body surface is covered with layers of mucus produced by
the cells lining the nose, throat and lungs and other organs.
There are various special organs such as the adenoids, tonsils
and others that filter off and handle bacteria. The blood system
supplies the cells with nutrients and is pumped by the powerful
heart muscles.
The Lymphatic System
There is another system - the lymphatic system - which drains
the "waste" fluids from the cells. The word lymph comes from
the latin word lympha meaning water. Hopefully this
suggests to you the need to drink plenty of fresh, clean
water each day. You should drink at least 6 to 8 glasses
of filtered water a day in addition to any teas you may drink
etc.
The lymphatic system consists of glands (such as the tonsils,
the spleen and the small glands in the armpits) at various
parts of the body linked by large lymph channels. The lymph
gland's purposes are to filter out and destroy foreign substances,
to produce antibodies and lymphatic cells for the lymph system.
This system is the biggest tool your body has to maintain its
immunity to disease.
The blood stream uses the heart to pump blood around the body.
So how does the Lymphatic System work as there is no heart
to pump the Lymph system? By MOVING.
Get the blood flowing
Well, valves regulate the flow of the lymphatic fluids but
the flow of the system is provided by BODY MOVEMENT. That
is why it is so important to KEEP MOVING. Any form of Exercise
is better than none. Simply walking is surprising almost
as good in this respect as running and going to the gym!
Surprisingly, research has shown that the movement that produces
the fastest lymph movement is DEEP BREATHING!!! Another important
factor is to realise that the blood stream and the lymphatic
system work together to maintain optimum health in the body.
Our Circulation Formula used
in conjunction with our Immune Formula can have a very positive
effect on your system.
Summary
Therefore the way to support your Immune system is to adopt
a positive frame of mind, move the body and have regular
bowel movements. Proper nutrition also pays a big part in
supporting the Immune system and organic herbs mentioned
below can be used not only to support the Immune system when
it is overloaded but also to aid the Lymph and Digestive
System. Herbalists for thousands of years have researched
and used nature's products to bring about health and improve
the bodies ability to fight disease. These combined with
a good wholesome diet and regular exercise will boost and
maintain your Immune System, naturally.
