How To Build a Strong
The Immune System is a barrier, your defense mechanism against infection, viruses, fungi and bacteria. A vigilant immune system is the body's protection against damage from invading bacteria, viruses, and cancers.
(Specific products are towards the end of this article.)
As mentioned above, it is the body’s protection against viral infections, cancer cells, and bacteria, and is essential to having a healthy body. Your immune system includes your bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils and adenoids and appendix.
These organs have a specific role in keeping your body and immune system healthy and are responsible for the growth, development and deployment of lymphocytes, which are the white cells, the key laborers of the immune system. The primary lymphocytes are B-cells, T-cells, natural killer cells, macrophages and dendritic cells.
We do not have to live with our “yearly” colds, flu’s, viral infections and the like. With a strong immune system our body can do what it was designed to do naturally…i.e. defend itself against viruses, cancer cells, bacteria, common colds and keep our body detoxified.
The more informed you are about what breaks down the immune system and what keeps it strong, the easier it will be to stimulate and strengthen it. Your whole body will love you for it.
AND ~ White flour, White sugar, White rice, White potatoes, White salt ~ (If you eat the above on occasion, no problem.) ~ Fast Food, Microwaved Food, Processed Food ~ These are all devoid of nutrients for the most part and the effects of microwaving are astonishing (more on Microwaving) Our immune system is directly affected by what we eat, drink, breathe and put on our skin. The poorer the diet, the GREATER AMOUNT OF TOXINS ACCUMULATE IN OUR BODY, and the more susceptible we are to infections, viruses and cancer. Our body is designed to process, metabolize and clear toxins naturally. However, we live in a world where the amount of toxins we take in daily far exceed anything this planet has ever seen before. These toxins have overwhelmed the body’s natural cleansing pathways. The Transfer Factor Institute “ If you treat your body badly with junk food, little or no exercise and a stressful lifestyle, your immune system has to work overtime to protect you.”
Although the following may seem overwhelming, please know there is much help available to reduce the burden on the immune system and re-build it. Towards the end of this page are solutions to assist you to do this… bringing the body back into a state where it can better heal itself.
There is no way we can avoid all of the following toxins, however we can eliminate many of them and give the body what it needs to detoxify and re-build.
Some of the toxins you may not be aware of include:
Nutrasweet/Aspartame
Toxins are generally stored in body fat. Many of them bio-accumulate, (which means an increase in the concentration) and remain in the body tissues and organs for years, and as a result, have a cumulative effect. However, they can be flushed out. (More about this below.)
“The liver is responsible for breaking down and processing toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, drugs, alcohol, chemicals found in processed foods, and other chemicals in the environment (basically all potentially harmful substances in the body).
Because of the increasing number of poisons in the environment, such as polluted air, contamination of water supplies, and chemical cleansers, the liver has to work harder and harder to detoxify the poisons. It is the organ most directly strained by pollution and environmental damage.” Janice Wittenberg, R.N., The Rebellious Body
“Externally, we get toxins from just about everywhere and in amounts that far exceed anything in history. “Each week approximately 6,000 new chemicals are listed in the Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts, which adds up to over 300,000 new chemicals each year.
On average we consume 14 pounds each year of food additives, including colorings, preservatives, flavorings, emulsifiers, humectants, and antimicrobials. In 1990, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated there were 70,000 chemicals commonly used in pesticides, foods, and prescription drugs… the use of pesticides and herbicides to limit crop loss has skyrocketed over the past thirty years.
"The average person consumes one pound of these chemicals [pesticides, herbicides] each year. ” Digestive Wellness by Elizabeth Lipski, M.S.,C.C.N.
PHARMACEUTICALS ~
The body’s immune system does not respond well to drugs. Antibiotics tend to suppress the immune system when used long term.
“The greatest harm of drug treatment is usually not so much the toxicity or side effects as are the effects of suppression. Allopathic (conventional Western) medical thinking generally seeks immediate gratification: just make the symptom go away. So the patient may be better in the short term, but is usually worse in the longer term. Homeopathy is just the opposite: sometimes the symptoms are worse in the short term (such as with aggravation or the reversal of a previous suppression), but the real benefit is in the longer term.”
“A symptom, say itchy skin, is the body's response to a deeper problem. When a symptom is suppressed, it is only the outward manifestation of the problem that goes away. Since the deeper problem is still there, the body may, in time, produce the same symptom again. Another possibility is that, as a result of the suppression, the deeper problem progresses to the point that a deeper, more serious symptom is produced. So the itchy skin may go away, but then chronic diarrhea develops. If the diarrhea is then suppressed as well, it may lead to, say, liver disease. But hey, at least the skin is cleared up!”
“I see this pattern, or variations on it, very frequently in reviewing the medical records of new patients. It is the unrecognized, and often high, price that we pay for the quick fix, for immediate gratification, for the shot or pill that seems to make the problem go away.” Jeffrey Levy, DVM PCH
The following information is offered in love and compassion for those of us who struggle and have struggled with our health. We offer lots of ideas that can help in the process of cleaning the body from the inside out. Before you become overwhelmed, remember we detoxed over time. Just start where you are. Make whatever shifts and changes you can, listening to your inner voice. Healing your body is your choice. Whatever steps you take will be beneficial.
1) Detoxify the body - Detoxify the body.
It is really difficult for people to understand how many toxins they have floating in the blood and building up in the organs of the body, causing the lack of energy and/or chronic health problems. (Microscopic Dark Field Analysis will reveal what is in your blood and organs)
Many of us want to take something quick and fast to feel better, without having to change anything in our lifestyle. For those who are willing to take the next step, detoxifying the body is a must. Toxins directly slow the immune system function down, which allows for bacteria, fungi, cancer cells and viruses to prolificate.
So, we suggest beginning with the obvious - changing the food eaten to organic, live and green foods, which is discussed below. To jumpstart the detoxification quickly there are several excellent products to do this ~
***NATURAL LIQUID ZEOLITE*** - this is appearing to be an effective detoxifier for many to support the removal of toxins in the body, i.e. mercury, cadmium (from smoking), lead, arsenic, pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, chemicals etc. Many physicains with patients who have chronic health challenges are finding the Natural liquid zeolite to make a significant impact in certain health issues which weaken the immune system. Dr. Gabriel Cousens has written his own article, which you can be read by clicking here (for Dr. Cousens follow up article, please send me an e-mail with this request, which will be sent as an attachment PDF format.) 
The Natural Liquid Zeolite is available by membership with the manufacturer at this link -
(Membership...) which consists of a one-time $29.95 membership fee. QUESTIONS For questions about the liquid zeolite, you can phone 520.219.2379. We are often on the phone, however if you leave us a message, we will return all calls within the U.S. OR to purchase directly from our shopping cart
(click here...) This is the exact clay featured on Animal Planet/Discovery Channel. Not only is it a wonderful support for detoxification, it leaves behind many minerals in a readily absorbably form. The pH of this clay is 8.3, which also supports the immune system function.
Terramin Clay - Complete article...
Juicing and eating raw organic vegetables will be a big help. (About Juicing) The vitamins and minerals are in the juice and this can help tremendously in the flushing process. ***Read our article on pH Balance to flush toxins (acids) out of the body.
Eating Red DesertTM clay / Terramin Powder is excellent for pulling toxins out and heavy metals as well as providing essential nutrients. Also, as your body is releasing toxins and you are eating the Terramin clay…the clay has an ionic charge and binds to those toxins (before they can get reabsorbed) and removes them from the body through the elimination process. ANTIOXIDANTS - Free radicals have been strongly linked to Immune System damage. Alpha Lipoic Complex neutralizes a variety of free radicals and offers cell protection from attack by free radicals.

Alpha Lipoic Complex
Colloidal silver is super helpful for parasites, viral and fungal problems. It is best to purchase your own colloidal silver maker and make your own, since you may want to take this for months.….and it will be fresh. To purchase a colloidal silver maker, call: Sota instruments in Canada 250.770.2023
2) Eat lots of raw, natural foods provided by nature. Organic fruits and vegetables raw will provide the most nutrition. If you need to cook them, try steaming just a tiny bit so they retain their nutritional value, and then sprinkle on some Himalayan Crystal Salt. This excellent crystal salt will provide the body with 84 essential minerals, and is good for the body. We often pour a bit of Barleans Organic Flax Oil over vegetables for a nutty flavor. The flax oil will give you the Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s that the body needs.
STEM CELLS It is well known that bone marrow stem cells have the ability of becoming blood cells. There is a new natural product now available, which will release millions of stem cells from YOUR OWN BONE MARROW into the bloodstream, within one hour. These stem cells can travel to areas of your body needing repair and support. For more information, read our article on stem cells.

Along with the information above, to more quickly jumpstart the immune system GlycoBalanceTM/glyconutrients is exceptional in providing this nourishment and boost.
Many doctors including veterinarians are prescribing Glyconutrients to their patients with very good success and seeing a decline in antibiotic use.
And, for cancer patients, saccharides mitigate the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy--
while augmenting their cancer-killing effects, resulting in prolonged survival and improved
quality of life.”
Thousands of studies have been conducted on individual glyconutrients from cancer to autism, and virtually all of them have had positive outcomes, based on the knowledge that the body can heal itself when given the proper nutrients, the missing links necessary to optimal health.
Glyconutrients do not "cure" any particular condition; however they do boost the immune system and provide immediate
nourishment directly to the cells of the body....nourishment which is difficult to find in our
nutrient poor food supply.

Himalayan Crystal Salt
** Contains 84 minerals essential to health
Salt in its original form is essential in nourishing our cells and essential in maintaining bodily functions. Salt is equally as important to humans as air and water. It maintains the normal volume of blood in our body and balances the water in and around our cells and tissues.
Put a little Himalayan Crystal Salt on your tongue before you eat and drink. This will add in
digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals. (Cooking with Himalayan Crystal Salt will
destroy the minerals. So add it to food after it is served.)

By rebuilding the immune system, health is naturally restored and the body systems can better function as nature intended. Chronic health conditions, whether a weakend immune system, anemia, cancer and many other issues usually take 6 months to turn around. This means changing your diet a little and using one or two products for a few weeks is not going to make much of a dent in restoring your health. We worked at healing and repairing our bodies for nearly a year, and as our health improved, the new way we were living became our lifestyle. You may look back at your life one day and say “I remember when I used to get a cold every winter and how rundown and tired I was.”
The above information offers a lot of suggestions. If building your immune system seems as overwhelming to you as it did to us, we suggest starting with one or 2 steps, and then a 3rd and so on. This is how we were able to succeed. We look back today and remember when – Our worst day today would have been our best day back then..! Highest Blessings to you on your journey to optimum health. If you have a quick question, or want to place an order, feel free to phone. With e-mails, we receive so many, we can only respond briefly to these.
