What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’

is designed to help you reflect and to take real action for your wellness.

WELLNESS IS NOT A GIVEN!

All you have to do is to travel to areas of the world where health care is not readily and financially accessible for most and you quickly realize that wellness is not a given.

Today in countries where health care is accessible, medication can often mask symptoms and suppress pain so that disease is managed. Life can also be prolonged. Already this is something to be grateful for. That having been said, I think we can all agree that this is not the best definition of wellness. Prevention is the ideal and permanent solution.

God has already provided you with an awesome body equipped with various systems to keep you operating at an optimal level so you can accomplish your life-mission. One of those systems is your immune system which acts as your fist-line defense protecting you against malicious pathogens. That system is under constant and continuous attack. One of the major substances responsible for the peak performance of your immune system is a small but powerful tri-peptide called Glutathione. Naturally produced in your body Glutathione requires very specific building materials to synthesize itself. From the age of 20, you lose 10% of your Glutathione levels with every 10 years that pass. In addition to that, there are many other agents and situations that further erode those levels. Tobacco, among others, is one of those agents.

Whatever state of health you find yourself in, it is not a matter of if you need Glutathione, but rather how much you need right now. Prevention is the key to no regrets.

This is all about your wellness . It’s one of those ‘you can’t afford to neglect type of decisions’.

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to understand your immune system. Second is to take note of how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to slow down the advent of, get help through the journey or prevent diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now one of the Ts in the ABCs.

TOBACCO

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Cigarettes kill people! All of the evidence from credible sources points clearly to this statement. Most people are unaware of the extent of the harm that tobacco causes, even if they have some idea that it is a health risk. The sticky tar that comes from burning tobacco causes radioactive particles to stick to delicate tissues in the lungs and build up, over time, to dangerous levels. In his outstanding book ‘GSH Your Body’s Most Powerful Protector’, doctor Jimmy Gutman writes that cigarette smoke releases thousands of different chemicals and a single puff contains literally trillions of free radicals. The smoke actually burns away vitamins like C and E and other nutrients. Even worse is the inflammation it causes in the lungs. This is the principle source of oxidative stress. The degree of lung inflammation and injury is directly related to the extent of oxidation caused by cigarette smoke. In addition, the tar from tobacco products contains potent carcinogens that cause not only lung cancer but all sorts of other tumours. Doctor Gutman says that Glutathione is well known to scavenge these free radicals and to neutralize many of the toxins by conjugation and elimination. Elevated Glutathione levels will help to protect you. Many studies have outlined the role of Glutathione in preventing and suppressing the damages caused by smoking.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System which enhances and prolongs the performance the other antioxidants of your body such as A,C,E and Selenium. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ is designed to provide you with the tools to take real action for your wellness.

PRICELESS

Your health is priceless!

If you are reading this and you are young, you probably will agree with this statement, in principle. It sounds right and you’ve heard it said before in some form of slogan. If, however, you have already had to fight a major illness, then you have found out, much too soon, the ravages of sickness.

If you are reading this post and are in the latter part of your life, you probably carry, in your body or on your body, some of the evidence of dealing with health issues. For you, the saying that your health is priceless takes on its meaning through experience.

Young, middle aged or older, there is a price to pay when your wellness is compromised. That price is downtime. It can affect everything from loss the of your leisure time to the loss of time you need to earn a living to support your family.

Fortunately, your body is equipped with a natural built-in insurance policy to protect you from costly downtime. It is called Glutathione. The effectiveness of this little protein, which is manufactured in every cell of your body, is dependant on the building blocks which you provide for it to be manufactured in sufficient quantities.

It is not a matter of if you need Glutathione. It’s a matter of how much you need right now. The decision is yours. This is all about you and the quality of your future. Grab it!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to team up with your immune system. Second is to take note of how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to slow down the advent of, get help through the journey or prevent diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Ss of the ABCs.

SWINE FLU

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Swine Flu, a sickness discovered in Mexico, is a descendent of the Spanish Flu with others blended in. Every person who contracts Swine Flu is potentially a candidate with whom the virus will mutate and become deadly. Even if Swine Flu is no worse than the normal seasonal flu, if many people get it, it could put a massive strain on health care systems.

The damages for you could include personal inconvenience, discomfort, costly downtime and you can easily imagine the rest.

There needs to be a bridge between no caution and precaution in this case. That bridge is preparedness. The ultimate from of preparedness is prevention.

There are many obvious tools in your toolbox to fight off the Swine Flu such as proper nutrition, sleep, balance between work and rest, well-managed stress, good hygiene etc.

However, your immune system is the biggest piece of protective armour at the centre of all attacks on your body. It is the command centre. This command centre is fuelled by Glutathione, a tri-peptide which tracks down, arrests and ejects invading pathogens in your system. Just like the world’s oil supplies are strained, your Glutathione levels are continuously strained by the aggressive environment in which you live. There are non-stop fuel demands on your body every moment of the day. This energy-producing protein supplies your body with the fuel it requires to live. In addition to that, your Glutathione levels diminish by 10% every 10 years from the age of 20 onwards. For this reason, you must replenish these levels to have an immune system that gives you maximum protection.

SURGERY

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Surgery is not without risk or side effects because it is intrusive and disrupts your anatomy. An operation releases billions of free radicals into your body which, in turn, heavily taxes your antioxidant defences. Outcomes depend on your fitness and immune system.

The cells’ primary antioxidant, Glutathione, is drawn from stores in your liver and your skeletal muscles and is dispersed to reduce the damages of surgery. It not only protects you from oxidative stress, it also bolsters your immune response, controls and balances inflammatory response and helps synthesize and repair proteins involved in your healing process. While healing, wounds initially increase their production of Glutathione peroxidase in order to fight the free radical formation. All surgery disrupts the blood flow to tissues (ischemia). When blood flow is re-established (reperfusion) there is a burst of free radical formation in the affected region that can possibly affect the survival of the tissues.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System that recycles the other antioxidants of your body to keep your downtime to a minimum and your wellness to a maximum. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.

Wellness Opportunity Wealth-Do You Have What It Takes To WOW Yourself?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Wellness Opportunity Wealth - Do You Have What It Takes To WOW Yourself?

The answer to this question is absolutely vital to a fulfilled life. When you look at ‘Do you have what it takes to WOW yourself?’ and turn it inside out, you get ‘It takes what you have to WOW yourself’. If you disagree, stop reading this article now because the rest of it won’t make any sense and you’ll just be wasting your time.

Let’s take a few minutes to take the headline apart.

Wellness

Wellness, as far as I see it, is made up of several elements. One of the big pieces is physical wellness. Without physical wellness it is improbable for you to achieve outstanding success because repeated success requires massive energy and drive. That kind of energy and drive is not usually available in an energy-depleted body. Yes, there are exceptional people who succeed despite challenging health issues. They are to be admired. However, we are not talking about exceptions.

I’m coming from the standpoint that you are designed to be healthy and that disease is an unnatural intruder. Wellness is the outcome of great genes, cultivating healthy habits and the ability to spot and arrest dangerous triggers in your environment that can cause your slippery slide into disease. Awareness of these 3 big components and taking a directive role in how they affect your wellness can put you in the driver’s seat. That means you are a very present participant along with your family physician and any other person involved in massaging the state of your health.

It is your wellness that allows you to stand out from the crowd because the massive raw energy you require to succeed is evident in all that you do. As a consequence, you position yourself as a top contender in everything you do. If you have any experience in life, you know what that means for your future! Notice I said that you position yourself to be a contender. Life seems to have a mind of its own. Sometimes, despite you having done things by the book, success eludes you. Don’t be too hard yourself, you are not alone. Do not give up!

Be excellent, however. Excellent means doing the best you can with the talent you have, the knowledge you have acquired and the energy you possess today. At the very least you can say you are giving it your all.

The message here is make your wellness your top priority. You have to lay claim to it.

Opportunity

Opportunity is as fleeting as a butterfly, as slippery as a wet bar of soap and as wild as a bucking bronco.

When a brilliant idea crosses your mind, stop, observe it and be gentle as you handle it. Your brilliant idea is much like a butterfly. For you who are creative this comes as no surprise. Genius does not like to be forced into submission. Let the genie come out of the bottle on her own terms.

That having been said, once opportunity lies willingly in your hands, take action or it will rapidly slip away. Opportunity seeks a solid grip. For you who are entrepreneurs, this is a truth that you have experienced first hand.

Opportunity is like a bucking bronco. It will put you through a rough ride and attempt to throw you off several times in order for you to earn its respect. But when you do, the opportunity is yours!

The message here is to be on the look out for opportunity.

Wealth

Wealth is meant to be. Just as is the case for wellness, I’m coming from the standpoint that you are designed to have plenty, to be wealthy and that lack or poverty is an unnatural intruder. I do not necessarily expect that you will agree with me on this point of view.

Imagine that you are the wealthiest person on the planet and there is nothing that is beyond your beck and call. You have a family that you love. Your desire for them is that they fulfill their lives to become all they were meant to become. Would you intentionally design lack and poverty as a part of their lives? No, that makes no sense at all. This is not the way you want it. As a parent, your wealth could be rejected by one of your children. Your child could mess up on the road to plenty or be swindled out of this blessing by another member of your family. The fact remains that you never intend for that to happen. However, you don’t force anyone to accept your provisions. In the same way, God intends each and every person on this planet to have abundance. Not too much, not too little but just the right amount to fulfill His purpose for us on earth. When this happens, you are in the zone.You feel and know that your life is on target! It does not mean that your life is challenge free. It means you are solid on your two feet and able to face your challenges with confidence and resources.

When I look around the earth, wealth and plenty are not a reality for most people. For most of us, there is lack in some area of our lives which causes us grief and frustration.

Wealth or if you prefer, plenty, is crucial to be able to progress, to actualize yourself to your full potential. You were not created to go half way… to shipwreck in the middle of nowhere.The wealth you require, however, is unique to you. It is the necessary wealth you need to unite the people and tools required to make things happen for your benefit and the benefit of all. This is truly a win- win formula. When that wealth is not there, the output of your efforts and the fulfillment of your dream is stalled. For some, it is for a short time. For others, it is the story of their lives.

This type of wealth awaits you from birth along with the guidance system to uncover it. It is an unearned gift from God, hence the expression Grace. Your part is to enter into this Grace in order to roll out your unique program with gratitude! Therein lies a potential challenge for some. This is a partnership between Grace and you, where the expression ‘Garbage in, garbage out’, takes on a real-life meaning.

Money is not ‘THE’ root of all evil. It can become ‘A’ root. Use wealth in every possible way to honour God who intended this to be for your fulfillment. Seeing His children obtain plenty and use it in the right spirit gives God great pleasure, just like it would give you great pleasure to see your children benefit from your resources. You are created for plenty not lack! Anything less than what you need to fulfill your God-given potential means something has been altered in the configuration of the guidance system intended to lead you to your inheritance. Could it be that you changed the original programming or allowed someone to play around with it? In certain settings, this God-intended inheritance has been highjacked by unscrupulous members of the planetary family. In as much as it is within your frredom to do so, if you have not yet uncovered your wealth, would you consider setting your configuration back to the default? The Creator of the program configured it right when He gave it to you. Call me crazy if you will!

Do you have what it takes to ‘WOW’ yourself? WOW three letters that start off the powerful words - wellness, opportunity and wealth that result in elation. Can these three words actually be found in one place? Yes, they can be accessed in certain areas for those who are ready to apply themselves diligently. They can be enjoyed to the fullest by those who acquire them honestly.

Perhaps you have already achieved your goal in this area. Maybe you have arrived here in order to begin your journey. I am presently on a road that offers these 3 benefits. Of course, there are other ways to accomplish this same result. However, this road might be a good fit for you. Take from it what you want: wellness, opportunity, wealth or all three. If this interests you, go to What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? I’ll be most willing to talk with you and answer your questions. My coordinates are on the site. Do you have what it takes to WOW yourself?

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’

is designed to provide you with the reality check to inspire you to take action in this pivotal area of your wellness.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ALIGNMENT TO SLOW DOWN AGING

It is imperative to look through the right lens in order to slow down your process of aging. Looking through the right lens means having some understanding of what leads to your aging.

Your Creator has activated many powerful mechanisms that have kept this universe intact for countless years. Among those, we find the laws of nature that are always in play. For example, the law of gravity is ever-present in earth’s atmosphere. Try to defy it by jumping off a high building and you will quickly experience the results. There are many mechanisms or laws that allow your body to stay alive. When these pristine systems are invaded, taken over and corrupted by pathogens, your life begins to end through the process of aging.

You have already learned that oxygen is vital to your staying alive. However, the use of oxygen by your organism leads to oxidative stress and the releasing of damaging free radicals. Cellular oxidative damage leads to aging and its many diseases. It is known that those who live to a100 years or more have unusually high levels of Glutathione. A logical connection can be made between longevity and this powerful antioxidant. At the very least, it can improve your immune defenses and quality of life. This can occur at a time when you may be experiencing one health problem after another.

GSH can boost your immune response at a time when it usually begins to lessen. You lose about 10% of our Glutathione levels with every ten years from the age of 20 onwards. This substance may reduce the adverse effects of aging.

Quality of life is improved with high Glutathione levels. Detoxification of the liver, associated with the increased use of medications in the elderly, is another benefit. This master antioxidant may also improve the effective benefit of your exercise which, as a result, can stimulate your Glutathione system leveraging your wellness.

Alignment with known anti-aging practices is your pathway to slowing down your aging process. It is not a matter of if you need Glutathione. It’s a matter of how much you need right now. The decision is yours. This is all about you and the quality of your future. Grab it!

Now on to the Rs of the ABCs.

RECTAL CANCER

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Rectal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the rectum. Rectal cancer is both curable and preventable if it is detected early and completely removed before the cancerous cells spread to other parts of the body. It has been thought that diet may contribute to the disease.

Immune-depressed individuals are easy targets for cancer. Glutathione plays a specific role in the detoxification of numerous carcinogens within our bodies and in our daily environment. One of its effects is to control the growth of T-cell lymphocytes, a category of white blood cell, thereby strengthening your immune system.

RENAL FAILURE

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Renal failure characterized by the retention of nitrogenous wastes in the blood and the inability of the kidneys to remove waste products from your blood. This is very serious and even deadly if left untreated. Acute renal failure occurs most commonly when the kidney suffers inadequate blood flow. The most common cause of poor blood flow is artherosclerosis which is the build-up of plaque and other blockages in the blood vessels. Glutathione fights plaque formation by inhibiting lipid peroxidation which is the oxidation of fats. The typical form of chronic renal failure is the result of aging. It is simply a “wearing out” process. Chronic renal failure is a condition in which kidney function gradually declines, until the kidneys are unable to filter wastes from the body, maintain the proper balance of water and chemicals such as sodium and potassium in the bloodstream, or produce urine. One cause of renal failure is exposure to heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. The body detoxifies these substances through Glutathione molecules which bind themselves to these metals after which they are removed from the body.

The cells of your kidneys are protected by high levels of Glutathione.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Rheumatoid arthritis is the chronic inflammation that affects organs, tissues, and joints which leads to the destruction of the articular cartilage. It is a form of arthritis that occurs in joints on either side of the body which makes it distinguishable from other types of arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks itself. It is associated with changes brought about by oxidation and free radicals. Rheumatoid arthritis is also a systemic disease, involving other body organs, whereas osteoarthritis is limited to the joints. It is currently thought to be a combination of factors such as hormones, the environment, and the patient’s genetics. Presently, the goal of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis is to reduce joint inflammation and pain, maximize joint function, and prevent joint destruction and deformity.

Scientists have demonstrated that T-cell Glutathione content in rheumatoid joints are much lower than in peripheral T-cells of the same patients. Glutathione modulation may play a role.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System that recycles the other antioxidants of your body to provide you with dependable wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

What Can I Take To Boost My Immne System? Letter Q Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’

is designed to encourage you to ask the key questions to build your immune system for sustained wellness.

On to the letter Q.

IT ALL RESTS UPON THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK

The quality of your wellness is an exact science. I believe that research will prove this to be true. Right now we are wading in grey areas with much of the efforts being hit and miss. We can see this by the collateral damage that comes along with medications that relieve symptoms of disease. One day soon, hopefully, we will move out of the grey areas and realize that the answer to each disease traces a straight line directly to one distinct solution per disease. In the meantime we can be very grateful to researchers and physicians who tirelessly work to sustain our health.

Very few of us hit the bull’s eye in the area of wellness because we either don’t have all the pieces of that science or don’t know how to make them work perfectly together at one time. We simply miss the bull’s eye. Some come closer than others.

In addition to that, success in your wellness depends upon several factors which must consistently work together all the time. Some of these factors are diligence, knowledge, persistence, accuracy, vigilance and other competencies which contribute to bullet proof your health from any form of penetration by disease-causing pathogens. Oh yes, and there’s the little thing about the genes you have inherited.

Someone once said that the quality of the answers you receive depend upon the quality of the questions you ask. With this in mind, what kind of questions do you ask that can lead you to discover what you need to know and apply in order to get as close to the bull’s eye as possible?

I am sure you have insights that would be of great value to our readers. What questions do you suggest we ask ourselves to improve our wellness?

Imagine what kind of additional benefits you would get with more energy that comes from your boosted immune system. Plus, picture what kind of impact a slight improvement to everybody’s immune system would have on your country’s medical system not to mention its economy. This is something that is within your reach today!

REMEMBER THIS. It is not a matter of if you need Glutathione. It’s a matter of how much you need right now. The decision is yours. This is all about you and the quality of your future, your family’s and your country’s future. Grab it!

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System that recycles the other antioxidants of your body to provide you with long-term wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? Letter P Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’

is designed to provide you with the information you require to take action in this crucial area of your wellness. Picture it this way.You light a match. It happens to fall onto a small piece of paper. A fire starts, but you put it out quickly. The damage is minimal.

What if you had not put out the fire? What could have happened as a result? That’s what happens to your immune system when your Glutathione levels are not attended to and replenished. The fires of uncontrolled oxidation rage on, releasing massive amounts of free radicals into your body, subsequently opening the doors wide open to a myriad of potential diseases. How your body reacts to this phenomenon depends on your genetic predispositions to certain diseases and environmental factors and other factors that you can discuss with a qualified doctor.

IT’S REALLY A QUESTION OF LOGIC

Science and researchers have compiled an impressive body of evidence that Glutathione is absolutely essential to your survival. As you age, every 10 years, you lose about 10% of your naturally-produced Glutathione levels. Therefore, you have to find a way to replenish these levels. This you do by supplying your body with the precursors so that it can continuously manufacture this life-promoting substance. Glutathione is like oxygen. You always need an adequate supply to stay alive. It is not a matter of if you need Glutathione. It’s a matter of how much you need right now.

Is Glutathione some magic potion that will take the place of healthy habits such as getting a good night of sleep, eating proper nutrition, regular moderate exercise, stress management, drinking water and the like? The answer is no, no and no! However, it is a must to stay alive and to have a quality of life.

There is no one solution to health and wellness. Many key elements work together to produce properly functioning body just as a vehicle requires all its parts along with gasoline and various oils to function properly.

I say this because your expectations must be clear as you make that choice to supply your body with the precursors that will allow your body to keep its Glutathione levels adequate. Here is what you can expect: A better quality of life and improved overall performance.

This is where the logic comes in. As Glutathione counteracts the effects of oxidative stress, detoxifies your body’s cells, tissues and organs, and boosts your immune system, it will also optimize your body’s capacity to perform. Think about what happens to your computer when you give it a good tune up. It performs faster and you enjoy working with it because it does what you want it to do.

One of the comments I hear from people who restore their Glutathione levels is that they have a greater desire to take part in everyday living. What does that mean for you? It means more opportunities to succeed and to actualize the person you are meant to be!

Right there lays a major incentive, benefit, bonus, for you to take action right now.

In today’s context, just that fractional extra can give you a competitive edge.

The decision is yours. This is all about you and the quality of your future. Grab it!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to collaborate with your immune system. Second is to understand how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to slow down the advent of, get help through the journey or prevent diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Ps of the ABCs.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth which can also affect the bone on which the tooth depends for support. The word “periodontal” literally means “around the tooth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of periodontal disease.

The early stage of periodontal disease is called gingivitis. Gum disease is a silent, typically painless disease. Gums infected with periodontal disease are toxic reservoirs of disease-causing bacteria. Bacteria enter into the systemic circulation causing changes in blood vessel walls while promoting the production of atherosclerotic plaque. The process provokes an inflammatory response. Infections and toxins in the mouth have been linked to heart disease, stroke, bacteremia, prosthetic device infection, diabetes, pulmonary disease, impairment of fetal growth, and other systemic diseases.

Gum disease is linked to general health. Dr. Charles Mayo, founder of the Mayo Clinic is purported to have said that preventive dentistry can extend your life expectancy 10 years! Periodontal therapy will remove debris and bacteria from the site, allowing your gums to heal. Periodontal disease requires regular dental treatments and rigorous homecare procedures.

Links have been made between the infective and inflammatory processes of periodontitis and free radicals. Elevated Glutathione levels could prove to be instrumental in combating free radicals and boost your immune system.

PROSTRATE CANCER

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death for men. It is vital that men consult a qualified, thorough, conscientious, well-recommended physician who specializes in this area. Early diagnosis is crucial.

Diet is an important factor as prostrate cancer is linked to high fat-low fibre diets. Some studies show that androgens (male hormones), a source of oxidative stress, stimulate free radical damage and the depletion of Glutathione levels. Given the decline of Glutathione levels in men as they age, it would seem plausible that prostrate cancers find a ready environment to flourish.

PSORIASIS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious, multi-system, inflammatory, medical condition. It occurs when skin cells grow too quickly. Typical characteristics of psoriasis are red, dry, patches of skin and inflammation. It may reflect systemic inflammation. Until now, there’s been no truly effective drug treatment for psoriasis. About 80% of people living with psoriasis have plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis causes patches of thick, scaly skin that may be white, silvery, or red. About 50% of people who develop psoriasis see changes in their fingernails and/or toenails.

People who develop psoriasis inherit a particular mix of genes which when exposed to the right trigger lead to the condition. Scientists also have learned that not everyone who inherits genes for psoriasis develop psoriasis. What triggers psoriasis in one person may not trigger psoriasis for someone else.

Psoriatic flare ups can cause severe itching and pain. Depression seems higher in people who have psoriasis than in the general population. Psoriatic arthritis can inhibit sleep. Sunlight helps alleviate discomfort for some people.

Psoriasis certainly has to do with your immune response. Scientists have discovered that when a person has psoriasis, the T cells (a type of white blood cell that fights unwanted invaders such as bacteria and viruses) trigger a false alarm in the skin cells. Psoriasis is linked to abnormal glutathione enzyme activities. Researchers associate this disease with high levels of free radicals. Raising your Glutathione levels can certainly be a benefit.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why?

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? Letter O Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ is designed to make you think? Something awesome happens when you think. Deep thinking involves input of your knowledge, experience, wisdom, emotions and character.

When you do it with respect for the process and your anticipation of delight, you can expect something of value to take place!

LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHILE YOU’RE MAKING PLANS

What are you doing right now at this very moment? Well, if you are reading this, of course … you’re reading. But… what were you doing a second before you started reading this post? Was your mind wondering what your future will be like when such and such happens or when so and so is part of your life? Do you often find yourself traveling in the inside your vehicle (your imagination) where everything is pristine and magical while not noticing the rust gathering on the outside of your vehicle (what’s happening in real time to your life)?

Take a moment to consider those last few sentences. This exercise is a very useful eye opener allowing you to make a quick inventory as to whether you are achieving your goals or merely rusting out with time.

What does this have to do with your immune system? Well… as I understand it, the conditioning of your immune system can delay and even helps prevent your body from rusting out. You see, your body uses oxygen to convert foods into energy which serves as fuel to drive your body. This process of providing fuel for you involves oxidation and it has a down side which releases free radicals into all the cells of your body. Your body manufactures and uses antioxidants to get rid of these highly damaging free radicals which are responsible for the compromising and often debilitating diseases in your body. When these free radicals are allowed to run wild within your body the long-term result is that your body rusts out leaving your body’s cells, tissues and organs wide open to disease and subsequent death. This process can take place sooner or later. The part you play in this process is critical.

Life is what happens while you’re making plans, applies not only to the general aspects of life, but also to your wellness. Just as your life can rust out moment by moment, so can your immune system rust out if you put off taking an active role to actually replenish it.

By now you are aware of the powerful role played by Glutathione, a substance naturally manufactured within each cell of your body. If you have come in to this 26 post series for the first time, you can catch up on this all-important subject by reading the prior 14 posts of What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? The ABCs That Can Save Your Life! At this moment, you are reading the letter O.

In this post we will be looking at a few more of conditions in which Glutathione comes along as your super hero. As you age and depending upon the strain you put on your immune system, it will get depleted of substances such as Glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. This process of depletion can be seen as early as age 20 and progresses throughout your life. Unless you take specific measures (break through inertia) to slow down this chaos (entropy), you decide to seal your fate and hand yourself over to be maligned by pathogens. Your awareness of this combined with a decision to take action right now allow you to age with a better quality of life. To rust or not to rust, the choice is yours to make!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to team up with your immune system. Second is to learn how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to slow down the advent of, get help through the journey or prevent diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Os of the ABCs.

OPACIFICATION

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Corneal opacification or clouding of the lens of the eye is a major cause of blindness in the developing and the developed world. The lens of the eye is a transparent tissue which allows light to pass through to the retina by changing its shape to adjust to its focal length. Over time damage to your lens can accumulate through various processes such as sports injuries, toxins, radiation, pollutants and the like. Oxidative stress plays a role in the aging of your lens and it has been found that antioxidants are important as a buffer against this. Studies have shown that the loss of Glutathione parallels the increase of oxidative breakdown products in people with cataracts. Cataracts usually show significant and extensive oxidation of lens proteins. Elevated Glutathione levels can delay and or prevent cataracts. Lens oxidation can benefit from Glutathione as its number one defence.

OTITIS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Otitis is a general term for infection or inflammation of the ear canal which is the tubular opening that carries sounds from the outside of the body to the ear drum. It can affect both the inner and the external ear, can appear suddenly and be painful for a few days. It can also start gradually and continue for a long period of time. Sometimes it is called swimmers ear, because of the constant contact of water with the ear. If external otitis is left untreated, the infection could spread to the cartilage and bone surrounding the ear canal .The primary symptom of external otitis is severe ear pain. Malignant external otitis is a serious ear infection that can destroy the skin of the ear canal and continue to involve the bones of the skull. A weakened immune system can play a role in otitis. Glutathione is responsible for the reduction and elimination of inflammation in all the cells of your body.

OVER TRAINING

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Over training is a common problem for both professionals and the average person alike. It can be a result of not knowing how to train, too much training, not enough rest, and trying to accomplish too much too quickly. One sign of over training is insomnia. During training oxidative stress increases within your body as greater demands for energy are required to perform. Along with increased oxidative stress comes the release of massive quantities of free radicals that must be evacuated from your body. It is here that your immune system steps in to do its crucial work of flushing out these toxic elements.

Elevated Glutathione levels are the key to ensuring that your immune system does its job. When this process is well executed your energy levels are greater, your performance improves, your recovery time is quicker, your pain level is reduced and the damage to your cells, tissues and organs is kept under control.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System that recycles the other antioxidants of your body to provide you with dependable wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? Letter N Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ is like a huge body of water that leads to lakes, rivers, streams, creeks and finally to the single drop of water. That drop of water, that miracle of life is you?

Your wellness is a composite of many building materials (bricks and mortar). Some of those building materials are weaved into this 26 post series. These posts are much more than a series of diseases and disorders to look out for. They go beyond a substance like Glutathione, the master antioxidant of your body, which boosts your immune system to enable you to keep on living your life to the fullest. These materials represent the bricks in the structure of your wellness. There is also the mortar. It is the mortar that keeps the bricks in place. I trust you are discovering what materials you need right now. I hope you are taking action to put all these materials into your very own personal recipe so as to increases the probabilities of your quality of life for many years to come. It is very easy to say, “Tomorrow I’ll pay attention to my wellness.” However, would you agree that the quality of your life tomorrow is built on the quality of today’s input?

LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET

You have a past and (God willing) you will have a future. I refer to your past with particular to your childhood, to a time when you were dependent on those around you for care and protection from the aggressive elements of life. There will also come a time when you will require this same care and protection. It will be when you are aged. It is the same you in spirit. The only difference will be what you have accumulated in knowledge, experience, wisdom, possessions and, yes, conditions of wellness or lack thereof. You come from somewhere and are going somewhere.

When I say look both ways before you cross the street, I am referring to the reverence you need to exercise for children and the aged. Every time you look at one or both of these, you are looking into a two-way mirror. In the case of a child, you are looking at yourself as you were not so long ago. In the case of the aged, you are looking at yourself in the distant future.

The topic at hand is wellness by way of your immune system with the help of elevated Glutathione levels. Perhaps you came out of a childhood riddled with disease. Perhaps you have a child who is now caught in the merciless claws of disease. Maybe your present condition as an adult lets you see a bleak future of disease. Maybe you are in full health at the moment and desire to keep it that way at all costs. Either way, you and I need to exercise profound empathy for children and the aged who are compromised by conditions and diseases that suck the joy out of their lives. The reason is, in fact, we are them and they are we. It is a two way mirror. In look both ways before you cross the street, crossing the street is a metaphor for going on with your life. And looking both ways is a metaphor for taking notice of and having empathy for both extremes of life, that is, for the children and for the aged who depend on us at a vulnerable time in their lives.

In this post we will be looking at conditions and diseases that mostly affect the aged although afflicting younger people in certain cases. As time progresses and depending upon the strain you put on your immune system, it will get depleted of substances such as Glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. This process of depletion can be seen as early as age 20 and progresses throughout your life. Unless you take specific measures (break through inertia) to slow down this chaos (entropy), you decide to seal your fate and hand yourself over to be maligned by pathogens. Your awareness of this combined with a decision to take action right now allow you to age with a better quality of life. Look through the two-way mirror. What do you want to see tomorrow?

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to partner with your immune system. Second is to accept how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to slow down the advent of disease, help you through the journey of a disease or prevent diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Ns of the ABCs.

NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Neurodegenerative disorders are chronic progressive diseases. Cell death occurs in different brain regions leading to loss of cognitive, motor and autonomic functions. These disorders are complex and increasingly common as life expectancy increases. Emphasis is being placed on the importance of identifying ways to prevent these diseases. One component in the treatment for patients with neurodegenerative disorders is to improve detoxification of the body’s cells, tissues and organs. Inability to eliminate mutated and potentially dangerous cells is associated with cancers, while many neurodegenerative disorders are due to excess apoptosis.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Alzheimer’s is a medical condition, a slow and gradual disease. It certain cases it is hereditary. Alzheimer’s affects how you think, what you feel, who you are, and what you do. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease. Sporadic Alzheimer’s is the way most people develop Alzheimer’s. It is much more common and is caused by many factors that develop randomly as the result of brain disease. A finding, which appeared in the journal Cell Death and Differentiation is behind a suggestion that Alzheimer’s is the result of normal processes gone chaotic. On the other hand, Familial Alzheimer’s is a hereditary form of the disease that is passed on through the genes and only accounts for 5% of all cases. Although it is a degenerating disease, the symptoms can be curtailed or slowed. The result is marked behavioural improvements.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic debilitating inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that may affect any area of the brain and spinal cord. Damage occurs when the myelin, the sheath that covers the nerves in the brain and spinal cord degenerates. Researchers believe it is an inflammatory process that attacks a substance in the nervous system called myelin. They also believe that Multiple Sclerosis is likely caused by an individual’s unique reaction to infection or that some substance or reaction within the nervous system triggers the body to create antibodies that attack its own tissue. It is possibly due to autoimmunity. Various symptoms include blurred vision, weakness and numbness, and even paralysis or loss of vision. The life expectancy for someone with multiple sclerosis is not quite as long as an otherwise ‘normal’ individual, but it is very nearly the same and the gap is growing increasingly shorter.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Parkinson’s is a disorder affecting nerve cells in the part of the brain controlling muscle movement as the result of dopamine production. By the time Parkinson’s is diagnosed, people have already lost 60 to 70 percent of the dopamine-producing cells. It is rare in people younger than forty. Having difficulty in such things as dressing, shaving, bathing, writing, getting in and out of the car, and even eating are results of this condition. As Alzheimer’s destroys the mind, leaving the body intact and functioning, Parkinson’s destroys the body’s ability to function, taking away the physical abilities necessary to daily life, while leaving the mind a prisoner inside the body. Different mutations in single gene suggest Parkinson’s is primarily an inherited genetic condition. Since the late 1980s, many studies have shown over and over again that a common thread among those who suffer from Parkinson’s is a history of exposure to insecticides and herbicides.

LOU GEHRIG’S DISEASE

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Lou Gehrig’s , amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or motor neuron disease is a horrifying degenerative nerve disease that works its way up your body stealing movement and feeling inch by inch until you are no longer able to even breathe on your own. It is a neurological disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. Possible signs and symptoms of Lou Gehrig’s disease include: difficulty in lifting the front part of your foot, weakness in your legs, feet or ankles, weakness or clumsiness in your hands, slurred speech and/or trouble swallowing, muscle cramps, twitching in your arms, shoulders or tongue, fatigue in combination with any of the above signs.. It affect the caregivers as well as the person afflicted with it. Lou Gehrig’s disease afflicts the muscles of the body leaving the speech, feelings, brain and thought process unaffected.

This post is longer than ususal. I don’t know if you are feeling the way I feel at this moment, but my heart is aching for those who are afflicted by these diseases. If you are one of the afflicted, I feel deeply for your suffering. If, however, you are healthy at this moment, take the necessary action to remain that way.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System using the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with lasting wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? Letter M Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ touches upon different aspects that impact how you can affect your wellness. I mentioned in other articles that there is no one magic solution to having health that is 100% shielded from disease. Many well-groomed habits work together to make you strong and able so you can to take part in life with loads of energy. It does not happen by itself.

Do you recall Entropy, the tendency for all things to lean towards a state of chaos? And also Inertia meaning that, if you don’t do something to change a situation, it remains as is? These laws are iron clad. They happen consistently along with everything you do. A powerful immune system is not an accident. Just as well cut abdominal six packs are no accident. It requires hard work. The result is well worth the effort. It has a direct impact on the quality and the quantity of the rest of your life!

Let me precede this next section by saying that I am not a fan of platitudes or glib solutions to challenges that are complex and often heartbreaking. If you are facing serious disease or a condition because of an immune system that is faulty, you want solutions that work right now! I trust that the following attitudes are already a part of your tool box.

Three attitudes are important to your immune system wellness. They are faith, hope and love. You can decipher the truthfulness of this intuitively and also experientially. Have you ever felt you were in the dumps and noticed that your immune system began to falter? Your throat became a little scratchy. Your glands seemed a little swollen. Maybe developed a headache. If you don’t think this has any foundation observe this phenomenon the next time you slide into a funk. Maybe that never happens to you. In that case, observe someone else because one day it may just happen to you.

FAITH

Faith comes in different forms. You say, “I see it because I believe it, not I believe it because I see it”. If you are hard core secular it basically means that whatever you do through your own efforts and intelligence, you know that you know that you know, things will work out exactly as you have imagined they would. If you believe in God, it means that in partnership with Him in addition to your efforts and intelligence you know that you know that you know things will turn with a best result for all. This is essential as it anchors you into a sold foundation of belief. And when you are up against vicious pathogens, belief is an important ally to have. Those who have fought this fight know this for a fact.

HOPE

Hope is present when your desired result is not yet a fact. You are doing all the right things to regain a top-notch immune system, but somehow you are still subject to downtime caused by some condition or disease. You are hoping for better times with regard to your wellness. Some of you may be at a stage where you are hoping to hope you can still hope for even the slightest improvements. It has become a torturous waiting game. I have a deep sense of respect and admiration for your courage. Although you can feel very alone in this place, there is here, a wealth of character building that is the privilege of those Commandos of Hope.

LOVE

Love is a mysterious and powerful defender. I say defender because of 4 factors. First, if you believe in God, you have the Creator of your immune system on your side guiding you with His wisdom as to how you can take the right action to get better. Second, if you love yourself you will have a greater sense of urgency and acuity to spot practical solutions that will make a difference. Third, if you love others, by the law of reciprocation they will keep an eye out for you and become partners in order to facilitate your wellness. Fourth, if you allow all of these to work together you will put into motion the effect of synergy where the final result is greater than it’s parts.

By the way, some of you might question how can synergy be greater than God. Nothing is greater that God. He has set up the system where he enlists our cooperation and that of others to work out the final outcomes. It is done by design not by accident. God wants it that way.

I am speaking from my heart and my mind. Your beliefs are personal and my intention is not to invade your way of seeing things but solely to present elements for your consideration and the enhancement of your immune system wellness.

As time progresses and depending upon the strain you put on your immune system it will get depleted of substances such as Glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. Your awareness of this combined with a decision to do something about it can allow you to age with a better quality of life. Why not go for the quality!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to team up with your immune system. Second is to grasp how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to spot diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Ms of the ABCs.

MACULAR DEGENERATION

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Macular degeneration is a common eye disease in the elderly. It causes deterioration of the macula, the central area of the retina, the paper-thin tissue at the back of the eye. This is where light-sensitive cells send visual signals to the brain. The exact cause of macular degeneration is unknown. There are contributing risk factors that include age, obesity, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. As the leading cause of blindness affecting individuals later in life, it is manifested through a gradual loss of vision. The sooner macular degeneration is diagnosed, the sooner you can be helped with low vision aids and/or laser therapy.

The elderly are predisposed to oxidative damage because they generally have low Glutathione levels. Research seems to indicate that high Glutathione levels correspond to healthy eyes and suggests a possible role for Glutathione in the fight against or delay of this disease.

MUCOVISCIDOSIS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Mucoviscidosis or Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects mainly the exocrine glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure.

Glutathione decrease in Cystic Fibrosis is noticeable in the fluid lining of the lungs, and also in the blood serum, red cells and elsewhere. This points to whole-body depletion as a result of oxidative stress. Inflammation is central to Cystic Fibrosis. It always precedes lung infection and lung infection almost always follows inflammation. Continued inflammation depletes antioxidants and Glutathione even more. The vicious circle goes on and on.

MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is a chronic condition characterized by multiple symptoms whereby the body cannot defend itself from toxic chemicals present in our environment. Symptoms can include such things as difficulty breathing, sleeping and/or concentrating, memory loss, migraines, nausea, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, aching joints and muscles, disorders of the skin, and sensory dysfunctions. There is neither a proven treatment nor a cure. Some researchers suggest that Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is due to immune system damage or malfunction. This can give rise to sensitivity to all sorts of triggers rather than a specific reaction to one toxic element.

Our bodies have to deal with a number of toxins every day. A fit, well-rested person must maintain adequate immunological and biochemical defences to rise to this challenge. The role played by Glutathione in these defence systems is undeniable. Glutathione detoxifies a large number of pollutants, carcinogens, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and radiation as well as cigarette smoke, automobile exhaust, food preservatives and dental amalgam. Glutathione act as the agent for their removal from our body.

Keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Master Antioxidant of your Immune System using the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with dependable wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.

Over this 26 part series remember these 3 things: Question - “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” Substance - Glutathione. And Key result - Immune System Wellness.

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? Letter L Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ attempts to make a clear connection between the strength of your immune system and the level of your state of wellness. There is absolutely no doubt about this connection. If you carefully observe the various things that could possibly aggress your immune system during the course of a day, you will quickly understand how much you have to gain by making the time for 2 things. The first one is observation. The second one is creating a reflex which eliminates anything that places a burden on your immune system.

Why would you want to invest time to make your own personal assessment of these aggressors? Here are a few reasons I can come up with: longevity, quality of health, energy level, ability to concentrate, emotional stability. However you wish to visualize your success, these are all ingredients that contribute to your overall personal and professional success recipe.

On the personal side, you require continuous wellness and the energy that flows out of health to attend to your own needs. Unless you have this energy, the capacity to care for yourself will wilt like a flower wilts for lack of life-sustaining ingredients. You depend on that energy to be able to imagine what your life can be and to develop strategies to make it happen as you have imagined it. When you fall short of your expectations, this also takes a toll on your immune system by way of negative feelings about yourself and your ability to achieve.

The same principle applies to your professional life. The extent of the success you experience in your business activities is anchored in the energy you have to invest in conceptualizing, strategizing, packaging, marketing, mobilizing and following up on your plans. Without this energy, flowing through a being that is in full performing condition, your plans are highly compromised and in some cases rendered null! All this requires a defense system – your immune system – that is in stellar condition.

As time progresses and depending upon the strain you put on your immune system it will get depleted of substances such as Glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. Your awareness of this combined with a decision to do something about it can slow down the degeneration of your immune system and perhaps even improve upon your present level of wellness.

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 targets. First is for you to synchronize with your immune system. Second is to understand how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to be aware of diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system.

Now on to the Ls of the ABCs.

LONGEVITY

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Longevity results from a combination of environmental and genetic characteristics. Extreme longevity is rare. Evidence shows that you can do things to slow down aging and combat many of the age related diseases. In the business world, longevity is a sign that a company is doing things right. Would it be reasonable to say that we can extend that to human longevity?

Aging is marked by a decline in the immune system. Low Glutathione levels have been associated with an augmented susceptibility to the conditions and diseases that are linked to this group. Leading researchers in aging and immunology conclude that increased oxidative stress and/or lower consumption of antioxidants contribute to the decline of white blood-cell function and weakened immune response in the aged.

As you age, Glutathione levels fall and you become increasingly susceptible to the toxic threats of many drugs and pollutants. Lower levels in your aging liver diminish your body’s ability to detoxify poisons. Glutathione slows down your aging process by the diffusing and disposing of free radicals that threaten damage to your cells, tissues, and organs.

LUPUS

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

Lupus is a very serious, chronic, autoimmune disorder that turns the body’s defences against the body itself. It is an attack from the inside which is characterized by periodic episodes of inflammation of and damage to the joints, tendons, other connective tissues, and organs, including the heart, lungs, blood vessels, brain, kidneys, and skin. The exact cause of Lupus is unknown. It is thought that a person’s genetic background in addition to exposure to certain trigger factors could aid in Lupus development.

The strength of immune cells depend upon the availability of Glutathione. Depletion of this naturally-produced substance severely compromises the capacity of your cells to fight the pathogens and leaves the door wide open to myriads of diseases.

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

LEAD POISONING

Lead is a metal found in the earth, and it is a poison. It affects adults as well as kids and can be responsible for everything from mood swings and disrupted sleep to kidney damage and retardation. Lead is one of the most dangerous contaminants to children’s health. Chronic lead poisoning is a common problem among children. The seriousness of lead damage depends on two factors: the amount of lead that gets into the body and the length of time it remains there. Young children may ingest the lead-contaminated dust during typical childhood behaviour such as crawling on floors and then putting their fingers in their mouth coming into contact with sources of lead.

Lead poisoning is an environment of free radical activity which can diminish the potency of the antioxidants that protect your immune system. Exercising care to eliminate lead from your environment and making sure your Glutathione levels are appropriate can protect you from this health hazard.

If you have been reading this Blog from the beginning of the 26 post series along with the 7 posts that preceded it, you have already realized that practice makes permanent?

With that in my, keep asking yourself this key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” and discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Because Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the general contractor of your Immune System using the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with stellar wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

A natural and reputable source of un-denatured whey protein that stimulates the production of Glutathione in your body can be found in Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum.
