which will hopefully be of benefit to you:
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.
See the bottom of this article for information about Echinacea, Ginseng,
Astragalus, Ginger and Barberry - five of the most potent immune boosting
herbs.
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.
