The Immune System
************************************************************

The great key to the prevention and treatment of disease is a well functioning immune system. The immune system can become harmed in a short period of time if we abuse our bodies, to the extent it cannot repair itself. For this reason, it is necessary to supplement our bodies with builders of the immune system. These concentrated nutrients help repair the damage inflicted by the accumulation of toxic materials.

If a person eats junk foods- toxins and poisons will afflict the blood via the colon, which becomes clogged. The liver and kidneys will try to filter out the impurities. When they can't handle all of the responsibility, the blood stream shunts the waste to the lungs which try to eliminate it in the form of mucus. However, the lungs can only deal with a certain amount of congestion and the blood stream tries one last frantic effort to get rid of the poisons through the pores of the skin. The skin is the largest eliminating organ there is. When toxins are circulating around in the blood stream they poison the cells, diminish immunity to disease, and cause a person to feel sick and run down. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep our bloodstreams clean with proper diet and supplements.

The immune system is designed to shelter you from disease. It will protect you if you keep it in shape. Low immunity can manifest itself as fatigue, irritability and susceptibility to disease and infections. To build up the immune system involves a two fold approach to supplementation:

1. Antioxidants remove free-radical damage to the cells and they are the key ingredient to an effective immune system. The most noted anti-oxidants are: Vit. A, Vit. E, Vit. C, CoQ10 and Grape Seed Extract (OPC 150). OPC 150 is the most powerful in that it actively hunts out free-radicals in the blood stream, while the others passively wait for a free radical to come by.

2. More than any single thing, a healthy colon will protect the viability of your immune system. Many experts state that sixty percent of the body's immune system is in the colon. The key to a healthy colon is fiber and flora. Microtech's COLON HEALTH provides not only the fiber to scrub out fecal matter that has accumulated in the folds of the colon, but also contains lactobacilius acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacililus bulgerious. When there is sufficient flora in the intestinal track the body has the ability to produce its own antibiotics.
