‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’  is all about … being prepared. Some like to call it taking preventive measures. This post contains a message that could possibly save your life and the lives of your loved ones. You may have heard the story of Noah and the ark. Noah was told by God that a flood would come to destroy the earth. He took this advance warning seriously and built his ark. When the flood came he and his family went on to live and enjoy life.

 

 

In the last post, I spoke about entropy and inertia. Entropy is the natural tendency for things to return to a state of chaos. For example, you weed your garden and in a few days the weeds are back. It’s all about chaos. Inertia states that an object will remain where it is as long as some external force does not come along to move it. For example, your beautifully weeded garden will remain full of weeds as long as you do not weed it. In other words, unless you do something, things remain as they were.

                                                            

Take a good look around you. Do you see the signs of your nation’s health going down the tubes? What about your co-workers’ health … how are they doing? And you… how have you been fairing? Do any of these terms describe how you feel …. not just occasionally but on most days… and nights? Here are some of those terms: burnout, brown out, stressed out, stretched out. How much pressure do you think that this places on your immune system?

 

From what I understand, absenteeism and presenteeism are soaring in today’s workplace. Presenteeism is a fairly recent term in the workplace jargon. It refers to someone showing up for work but not really being available to work with full attention to what he is doing. This one factor is costing the economy billions of dollars world wide.. One part of this phenomenon is due to a decrease in wellness. Just like the strength of a nation can be weakened by pathogens, so can the strength of your immune system be weakened by pathogens.

 

The signs that prepare a crash in the economy give plenty of advanced warnings. In the same way, the signs that prepare a crash of your immune system give plenty of advanced warnings. The question to ask here is, “Are you going to build your ark before the flood comes?

 

Keep in mind that as you age, your immune system gets depleted of substances such as Glutathione. Your awareness of this, combined with a decision to take preventive measures (providing your immune system with the building blocks to produce Glutathione) can slow down Entropy (chaos).

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 goals. First is for you to be one 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 be knowledgeable about diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system. Are you ready?

   

Now on to the Ks of the ABCs.

 

 

 KARPOSI’S SARCOMA

 

What Can I Do To Boost My Immune System?

 

Kaposi’s sarcoma is a form of skin cancer which suggests that the immune system of its victims is highly impaired. People with this disease usually die of a different HIV-related infection. The most important factor in the prognosis for AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma is the level of immune-system impairment. 

 

 

KETOACIDOSIS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Ketoacidosis is a severe form of ketosis, a type of metabolic acidosis which is caused by high concentrations of ketone bodies. These bodies are formed by the breakdown of fatty acids and the deamination of amino acids. Ketoacidosis is an extension of normal physiological mechanisms that compensate for starvation and can be easily prevented, if proper measures are taken. If not treated, it can be fatal. 

 

 

KIDNEY STONE

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Kidney stone is a hard stone like mass in the kidney developed from crystals that separate from the urine and build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. The root cause of kidney stone is the strong build up of calcium in our body. Generally, the first symptom of a kidney stone is extreme pain, which occurs when a stone blocks the flow of urine.

 

The 3 basic roles of Gutathione in your body are:

 

1) as your body’s master antioxidant.

2) as an immune system booster.

3) as a detoxifier.

 

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 mind, 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 Master Antioxidant 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.

 

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 J Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ contains a message that can result in your prolonged wellness. Do you remember that I mentioned the word entropy in an earlier post? Entropy is the natural tendency for things to return to a state of chaos. For example, you weed your garden and in a few days the weeds are back. You have your hair done, and no sooner it’s out of place again. You bleach your teeth and they yellow out. You loose that extra 20 pounds and you gain another 30. You work hard to get that six pack, you take a summer break, and wind up with a sick pack. Mystery of mysteries, we are right back to square one which is … you guessed is chaos, chaos, chaos!

 

There is also another law at work in this message. It is the law of inertia. Inertia states that an object will remain where it is as long as some external force does not come along to move it. For example, your beautifully weeded garden will remain full of weeds as long as you do not weed it. Your stylishly coiffed hair will go flat unless you coif it once again. Your teeth will yellow out unless you apply the necessary treatment. Your extra 30 pounds will stick around unless you get back into action. And your prized six pack will continue to look very sick unless you start the crunches along with all the other secrets of the majestic six pack recipe.

 

Two very real laws of nature are at work in you every moment of the day.

 

How does this apply to this series on the Immune System?

 

Do you remember in the last post where I suggested you ask people around you if they had ever heard of Glutathione as being the master antioxidant of their immune system? Well, when I do that, the people that I ask have never heard of Glutathione, notwithstanding that this tri-peptide is responsible for the effectiveness of their body’s defense system, also known as, their immune system. I can understand that because as of 2 years ago, I had never heard of Glutathione and I did not consciously put any thought into grooming my own immune system.

 

Usually when you do not know that something exists, the laws of Entropy and Inertia have a field day. Why is that so? It is very hard to affect what you do not know. So, you do nothing to change a situation that is moving towards chaos. As you age, your immune system gets depleted of the substances that make it function at peak performance. Your awareness of this, combined with a decision to do something about it, can slow down this chaotic tendency and perhaps improve upon the bench mark you had when you were at your best. This could apply, more exactly, in situations where your immune system might not have been functioning well to begin with.

 

You’ve heard me say this before. Practice makes permanent, so, let make a quick review and move forward.

 

By the way, when I use the term you, I am also including myself as a fellow traveler along this voyage to the centre of the immune system.

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 objectives. First is for you to be familiar with your immune system. Second is to know how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to be informed of diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system. And we’re off!

 

 

Now on to the Js of the ABCs.

 

This time, the Js we will take a look at are not diseases or disorders, but rather practices you can apply to counteract the strong pull of Entropy and Inertia as these terms apply to the conditioning of your immune system. They are Jar, Jealous, Jingle, Journal and Jungle.

 

 

JAR

 

Make some moves. Jolt yourself. Defeat inertia. Do something right now to start improving the state of your immune system. If you wanted to go from a sick pack to a six pack you would start your crunches right now, at this very moment. That is, if you were really serious. What can you do right in this moment to improve your immune system?

 

JEALOUS

 

Make some reaction. Guard your state of wellness as you would a first love. I mean this in a positive way not in a dysfunctional way. Care deeply about every little part of your immune system. Remember your first love? Every twitch of that person’s face attracted your undivided attention. Pay attention because your immune system is talking to you on a regular basis.

 

JINGLE

 

Make some noise. Run your own public service announcements to yourself concerning your immune system. Become your own ad agency. Some of those announcements will be warnings, some will be informative, some will be exhortations to action and some will be choruses of victory. Promote! Promote! Promote!

 

JOURNAL

 

Make some notes. You can expect what you inspect. Figure out what you want from your immune system. Is it more energy? Is it detoxification? Is it less interruptions in your state of Wellness? You are the boss. Then observe what you are getting to see if you are on target. Write it down so you can have a bench mark in hard copy. Now you see where you are and can move in an informed factual direction to the next bench mark.

 

JUNGLE

Make some tracks. Remember you are in threatening territory where old and new species of pathogens are crouched behind the many camouflages to pounce upon your state of wellness. You are the prize! Do not sit around as a willing prey. Get out of there or… at least make sure you know your personal jungle and master it. Know how to navigate your immune system.

 

Ok, enough of that, you get the point. I certainly am starting to get it!

 

I you haven’t done so, ask those around you if they have heard of Glutathione and the crucial role it plays as the master antioxidant of their immune system. You’ll be surprised at the answer. If they show a genuine interest in being well and desire to take immediate action to have an immune system that will equip them to live a full healthy life … then send them to.http://www.immunesystemwellness.com/Blog .

 

Can we agree that practice makes permanent?

 

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 Master Antioxidant of your Immune System using the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with outstanding 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 I Of The ABCs That Can Save Your Life!

June 15th, 2009

 

 

dsc0214514

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ is all about I. In this case, the I is You. Why? Because none of us is an I-land separate from the rest of humanity.

 

In order to live a full and experience-rich life, you want to interact with someone else. That someone else needs to be all there in body, mind, emotions and spirit. Only then, can your interactions really be successful and satisfying for you and others.

 

Would you agree with me that, if you are held hostage by poor health, the results of your relationships are affected? When you take a close look, everyone invovlved suffers. Each person walks away and somewhere deep inside, something is missing. The communication falls short of expectations. It is a  less-than-satisfying experience. 

 

“Ahhh…ok…but what does that have to do with my immune system?” Oxidative stress and the presence of an overwhelming amount of free radicals dampen our potential at all levels of our being through a cascading effect. Call it immune system domino.

 

Your immune system, this natural army that defends you from disease, has been at work in you since birth to give you sound body, mind, emotions and spirit. All you have to do is recall times when you were less than at your best and you will be looking at the after effect of an immune system that is struggling. Your immune system has a far-reaching impact on the totality of your life and the lives of those around you.

 

Ask someone today if they have heard of Glutathione and the crucial role it plays as the master antioxidant of their immune system. You’ll be surprised at the answer. If they show a genuine interest in being well and desire to take immediate action to have an immune system that will equip them to live a full healthy life … then send them to http://www.immunesystemwellness.com/Blog . They will thank you.

 

 Practice makes permanent, so, let’s make a quick review and move forward.

 

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 objectives. First is for you take notice of your immune system. Second is to understand how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Third is for you to be knowledgeable of diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system. Are you ready? Let’s go!

 

 

 

Now on to the Is of the ABCs.

 

  

INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Inflammatory bowel disease, generally classified as either Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis, is a condition in which the stomach and/or intestine is chronically infiltrated by inflammatory cells, leading to ulcers and bleeding It is characterized by severe diarrhea, bleeding, and ulceration of the mucosa of the intestine. The cause of inflammatory bowel disease is unknown with some patients experiencing mild symptoms and others experiencing debilitating symptoms. Dietary management of inflammatory bowel disease includes fat restriction.  Normally Inflammatory Bowel Disease is not a serious condition, However if neglected, it can also lead to cancer or other additional health risks.

 

It is clear that inflamed cells in the lining of the intestines are a hotbed of free radicals… Samples of tissue inflamed by ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s show convincing evidence of severe oxidative stress. Of all the antioxidants that can prevent or retard damage, Glutathione is the central one.

 

 

INFERTILITY IN MALES

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? 

Infertility affects both men and women equally and can be caused by one factor or a combination of more than one. In males, it results in a reduction in sperm counts and sperm mobility. For women, infertility is a disorder in the ovulation phase. Most types of infertility are treatable.  In some cases, the problem may be minor. In others, the causes of infertility may simply be difficult to overcome.   

 

Some evidence shows that oxidative stress may cause loss of sperm function where sperm generate excess amounts of oxyradicals. These reactive oxygen molecules may lead to lipid peroxidation (burning of fatty substances) in the cell wall of the sperm itself.

This leads to poor movement characteristics of the sperm and their impaired mobility to fuse with the female’s egg. Studies are showing that Glutathione has an effect on sperm formation, mobility, quality and structure.

 

 

ISCHEMIA

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Ischemia: Inadequate blood supply (circulation) to a local area due to blockage of the blood vessels to the area.  Ischemia is the lack of delivery of oxygen to a major organ, most often affecting the heart or the brain.  Ischemia occurs when your blood cannot flow through your arteries as well as it should, and your intestines do not receive the necessary oxygen to perform normally. Ischemia occurs when living tissue is deprived of oxygen.  Ischemia causes rapid damage to tissue of all types, though some tissues are more sensitive than others.  Ischemia in the brain causes stroke, while ischemia in the heart leads to a heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction). However, ischemia may first present when an artery becomes so completely blocked so that blood cannot get to the brain or lungs.  In very rare cases, blood clots can form in the legs during long airplane flights, causing almost immediate ischemia.  When your heart suffers from ischemia, you will typically experience pain or discomfort in your chest. 

 

Glutathione diminishes damage to oxygen-deprived tissue during ischemia.   

 

 

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 Master Antioxidant of your Immune System cooperating with the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with excellent 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.

P.S. Ask someone today if they know about Glutathione.

dsc0214512

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ is all about life, your life, your children’s lives and the lives of those you love. Lives meant to be lived to their fullest. How? You accomplish this by taking care of your body’s natural defenses. This natural army is your gift from God. It is your immune system.

 

Is this really an accomplishment? Yes it is. Well… if you prefer it is an accomplished partnership. Do you remember anything about when you were an infant or even when you were say… up to six years of age? Maybe you do. I remember certain events, but they are not crystal clear. I certainly do not recall any mention of my immune system or talk about me accomplishing some sort of partnership in order to live my life to the fullest. Today I take for granted that my parents took care of that for me. Of course they knew all about the importance of the immune system… or did they? You know, now that I think about it, I can’t really remember any talk about or emphasis being put on that topic. And yet, if my immune system is my very own private army, my life-preserving defense system, why no emphasis on training that army to be in top shape to fight against the aggressors that lie in wait to damage the quality and even the quantity of my life?

 

Remember this. You prize your wellness but… disease wants you for a prize! This is one war that will never end. The enemy is merciless and its appetite for destruction, your destruction, is insatiable.

 

Some of you reading this already know. You are or have been in the midst of your very own war. Some have seen loved ones torn apart. Some of you know nothing about this. You have always been healthy. I hope that will always be the case for you.

 

We were not created to be sick but to enjoy a healthy life.

 

Take special care for the children. Teach them how to accomplish this partnership with their immune system.

  

Whether you are 18, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65 or more, I strongly encourage you to take charge of your wellness right now.

 

WELLNESS TODAY= PROBABILITIES FOR YOUR HEALTHY TOMORROW!

 

A quick review and let’s move forward.

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, seeks to make clear 3 key elements. One is for you to partner with your immune system. Two is to know how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Three is for you to be aware of diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels will help to optimize your immune system. Get ready for battle!

  

 

Now on to the Hs of the ABCs.

 

 

HEARTBURN

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Heartburn is a common complaint, a burning or painful feeling in the chest accompanied by a sour or bitter taste in the throat and mouth. It is caused by acid refluxing back into the oesophagus. Heartburn can be confused with other chest-related illnesses such as heart attack, pulmonary embolus, pneumonia, and chest wall pain. If neglected over time, it can lead to other more serious conditions like Barrett’s oesophagus or oesophageal cancer. Heartburn is usually caused by weakness of the lower oesophageal sphincter and by foods that are not easily digested by our stomach and digestive system. It is common during pregnancy, with about 1 in 4 women reporting it daily at some point during their pregnancy.

 

Night time heartburn is a major public health concern – not only interfering with sleep, but also causing more oesophageal damage than daytime symptoms. This may lead to such serious conditions as erosive oesophagitis.

 

Chronic heartburn is a condition which should not be overlooked because it could degenerate to oesophageal cancer. It is essential that chronic heartburn be treated. The long-term effects of heartburn can be extremely bad for the body. 

 

G|lutathione is a primary shield against oxidative stress, detoxifies potentially harmful or even carcinogenic substances and mediates the immune mechanisms, ensuring a more effective immune response.

 

 

HEPATITIS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and destruction.  It is considered chronic when symptoms extend beyond six months.  Hepatitis is most commonly caused by the hepatitis A virus, the hepatitis B virus or the hepatitis C virus as well as the abuse of alcohol, intake of drugs, exposure to toxic chemicals, and viral infections. It is a viral disease with an incubation period of two weeks to six months.

 

Glutathione concentration in the liver is higher than any other organ because it functions as a substrate for key detoxification processes. Medical science has long known that glutathione deficiency invariably accompanies liver damage.

 

 

 

HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Huntington’s disease results from genetically programmed degeneration of brain cells in certain areas of the brain. This disease usually appears in middle age but can develop in younger and older people. Huntington’s disease is a fatal progressive form of dementia which affects someone’s ability to think, talk and move by destroying cells in the part of the brain that controls these symptoms. It gives rise to an increase in involuntary movements of the head, trunk and limbs. At the present time there is no cure for Huntington’s disease.

 

Many neurological and psychiatric disease processes are marked by high levels of oxidative stress and free radical formation, as well as abnormalities in glutathione metabolism and antioxidant defences. Mental stress has also been shown to destabilize oxidant/antioxidant balance in the brain.

 

 

HUGS OR THE LACK THEREOF

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Yes, you have read this correctly. None of us need a scientific background to measure to power of the Huuuuuuuuuuuug! I believe the experience speaks for itself. Hug receivers and hug givers know this for a fact.

 

Hugs can be given or received at any time, in any place and by anyone who sincerely wants to make someone feel well. Everywhere you look on this planet, you will spot the hug-starved look. Your intuition can be confirmed after you, the hugger,  give your free hug and then the huggee, the hug recipient, melts into your arms.

 

I suspect that more recent generations are familiar with the Huuuuug factor … or are they? Do our children receive enough hugs? Perhaps past generations may have missed out on this free benefit. Do our parents receive enough hugs? Could it be that we might be a lot healthier if we caught  the Huuuuug Bug. Some of you are seasoned Hug experts having frequent Huuuuug miles. In any event, go and hug someone right now. This is one bug we all want to catch!

 

What do you Hug scientists know about this that you could share with our readers?

 

Come on, don’t be bashful. Let us know what you think!!!

 

As usual, 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 Master Antioxidant of your Immune System commanding the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with life-long 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.

dsc0214510

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System? - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’ points out the many possible aggressors that work hard to inhabit you, as well as suggesting known ways for you to take control of your body through your immune system.

 

Here is the bottom line. You prize your wellness but… disease wants you for a prize!

 

As you progress in years, what you may have thought was an over emphasis concerning wellness may now have become reality. You realize that entropy, the natural tendency to chaos in all things, is really happening to your body. I remember accompanying my dad during a visit to his chiropractor some years ago. At that time, I didn’t quite understand the principle of entropy. The chiropractor (looking over his spectacles) explained it quite clearly to me. He said, “Young man, in my practice I have observed that, after forty years old, things have a tendency to drop.” Today I understand and have experienced that he meant body parts both inside and out!!!!!

 

If you have not been careful so far, then it may not come as a surprise when things start falling apart. Even so, it’s not pleasant. If you have always been careful, you may still battle with certain conditions due to a variety of reasons. However, at that point, it can be really maddening! For example, have ever had something like a vehicle, a musical instrument or a piece of clothing that you have taken every means to keep pristine? Then, notwithstanding your efforts, you discovered that it was marred! At least you can say you did your best.

 

Either way, careful or careless with your wellness, you are the one who needs to deal with the fallout. Well…that may not be exact. Very often our loved ones suffer the consequences of our carelessness or enjoy the benefits of our carefulness.

 

 

Whether you are 18, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65 or more, you must be in charge of your wellness.

 

 

A quick review and let’s move forward.

 

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, seeks to focus on 3 specific points. One is for you to be in tune with your immune system. Two is to know how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Three is for you to develop an instinct to spot diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels may mean survival. Are you ready for battle?

 

Now on to G’s of the ABCs.

 

GUM DISEASE

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Gum disease, the inflammation of the gum tissues, is a chronic bacterial infection in the body caused by the build up of bacteria between the teeth and under the gum line. Although not a permanent condition, it is not a small infection. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. The best prevention of gum disease is good home dental care such as brushing and flossing and regular cleanings by your dentist.

 

Damage to your jaw bone and loss of teeth is just part of the challenge. Medical scientists have conclusively proven that gum disease goes beyond “just a dental problem”. Gum disease can lead to increased risk for major overall health problems, including but not limited to stroke, heart disease, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, diabetes complications, low birth weight, and most recently, dementia. 

 

Correlations have been made between the infective and inflammatory processes of periodontitis and free redicals. Immunotec Research Ltd. has developed a tooth paste with glutathione precursors. Direct application to these tissues may combat the disease.

 

 

GASTRITIS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Gastritis is not a single disease. It refers to an inflammation of the stomach lining. One of the many possible causes for Gastritis is generalized stress. It may be a psychological reaction to daily life or be physically induced by trauma. Toxins can also incite this condition.

 

Glutathione’s capacity to protect the stomach is being widely researched.  Glutathione is primarily a shield against oxidative stress, detoxifies potentially harmful or even carcinogenic substances and mediates the immune mechanisms, insuring more effective immune response.

 

 

GLAUCOMA

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

 

Glaucoma is actually a group of diseases that are distinguished by an increase in pressure inside the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve and to the retina.  Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of preventable vision loss. The vision loss suffered from glaucoma is due to damage to the ocular nerve. This nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry visual messages to the brain. The exact causes of optic nerve damage from glaucoma are not fully understood. It involves mechanical compression and/or decreased blood flow of the optic nerve. Chronic glaucoma is condition which may cause restriction of vision.

 

A Harvard study has shown Glutathione can benefit eye pressure.

 

 

GRAVE’S DISEASE

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Grave’s Disease, the result of an overactive thyroid gland is very serious, and should never be treated lightly. Its sufferers experience constant nervousness and over stimulation. Grave’s disease is considered an autoimmune condition. Some of the possible signs are hands shaking, feeling jittery, weight loss, eyes appearing to be popping forward. Some of the causes can be a combination of nervousness that results from high levels of physical activity combined with high levels of mental-emotional stress.

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Never let illness take the slightest foothold in your body. Stay Fit! Prevent! Prevent!

 

Ask 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 Captain at the helm of your Immune System steering all the building blocks that you provide in order to provide you with stellar wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, are really all about you and me. On the positive side, it’s about the state of wellness that we both desire. On the negative side, it’s the diseases that none of us want to experience.

 

If you are in your late teens or early twenties and happen to be reading this, the focus on wellness may seem a bit paranoid and somewhat premature. However, remember this, a condition of disease usually takes a certain period of time to rear its ugly head. By the time it appears, the damage is quite often advanced. Wellness means you have authority over disease. Lack of wellness means disease has authority over you.

 

Consider this, your body, although wonderfully created, has a natural tendency towards entropy which means a chaotic state of existence. Picture this, let go of your vehicle’s steering wheel and if your wheel alignment isn’t absolutely perfect, that vehicle will veer to the left or to the right. That’s just the way it is. So it is with your wellness.

 

If you are past thirty, you may have had certain close encounters with disease and if not you personally, then perhaps you know of someone who has gambled with his/her wellness and lost. The mature person that you are… I take for granted that this is the case and you took an inventory of where you are at in your wellness. Are there moments like that for you?

 

 

This morning was one of those moments for me! You see I’ve practiced a lot of full-contact sports. For those of you who have done the same, you know that injuries are part of the mix. My family doctor arranged for x-rays and an MRI to check out if my… let’s call it… wheel alignment… was what it should be. So this morning, as I walked down the hospital corridors to my appointment, it was dead silent. I was in the bowels of the building; no one seemed to be around. The floors were so clean and shiny. It felt peaceful. I was alone with my thoughts. This was the same hospital where both my mom and dad had passed away. I remember visiting my dad in his last days. In these very same corridors, I would see body bags go by me as I made my way to his room. I wondered whether my dad was in one of those bags or if he’d be in his room so I could see him one last time. I really loved my dad. I still do!

 

 

As I prepared for this MRI a very definite thought crossed my mind. I am grateful for access to excellent medical facilities, however, this is not where I want to be. I am responsible for my wellness and I will work at it every single day in one way or another.

 

Doctors and caretakers are a remarkable breed of devoted and gifted individuals. That having been said, I believe that they would heartily agree that all of us must take care not to wind up in a hospital.

 

 

Whether you are 18, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65 or more, you are in charge of your wellness.

 

 

Let’s revue this so that we can continue with the right focus.

 

 

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, seeks to focus on 3 specific points. One is for you to be in harmony with your immune system. Two is to grasp how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Three is for you to develop a reflex to spot diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels may make the difference for survival. This makes you ready for battle!

 

Your immune system is continuously under attack. The 26 posts of the ABCs That Can Save Your Life allows you to see what can happen when your immune system loses its ability to defend your body.

 

  

Now on to a single F of the ABCs.

 

 

FITNESS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Fitness is for the person who would like to prevent disease and insure the probabilities of having a quality life. Designing your fitness program so it that brings pleasure will help you continue the practice for the rest of your life. Learning more about fitness will give the time you invest to keep fit greater value. In other words, establish who, what, where, when, why and how of fitness and you are ready to go!

 

Statistics say that a sedentary lifestyle without exercise is as bad for health and longevity as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Research suggests that moderate but consistent exercise may actually be more beneficial than intense workouts. The question is, could there be such a thing as too much exercise?

 

Exercise seems to strengthen the immune system, but overdoing it may have the opposite effect! Few of us ever really push our immune resources to the limit in the course of doing exercise. Although it is clear that the immune system responds positively to moderate activity, it has been repeatedly shown that too much leads to a winding down of the immune system. It is known as immunosuppression. After a while the increase in immune factors and white cell activity, initiated by exercise, loses its momentum. This period depends on the intensity of the activity and the condition of the person’s defences.

 

While working out, a person may consume ten to fifteen times more oxygen than usual, so oxidative stress is a key factor in exercise. Physical activity increases oxygen consumption and intensifies numerous metabolic processes. The result is the creation and circulation of liberated oxidative breakdown products called free radicals.

 

Elevated Glutathione levels provide better immune defences and reduced susceptibility to infectious diseases. They also help decrease recovery time from workouts, reduce muscle fatigue and soreness and increase performance.

Now on to some of the Es of the ABCs.

 

 

ECZEMA

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Eczema is the most common type of skin inflammation. It is an auto-immune response to a perceived invader usually caused when there is an abnormal reaction of the immune system. Eczema is an extremely painful and embarrassing problem that can affect males and females. One of the most common skin complaints in infants and small children, eczema is a condition of dry, extra-sensitive skin. Eczema is the result of so many internal and external factors acting singly or in combination with each other. It is not considered a disease, not contagious and may disappear before adulthood. Although the cause is often unknown, eczema is a commonly inherited condition. It often affects people with a family history of allergies, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Eczema is a chronic condition, but it may be controlled with treatment and avoiding irritants. Generally located on the face, elbows, knees and arms, Eczema is a skin condition that is suffered by 10 to 20% of the world’s population. 

 

Low Glutathione levels characterize many skin diseases. Practical applications with Glutathione-raising substances have been studied in the treatment of several diseases.

 

  

EMPHYSEMA

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System

 

Emphysema is a chronic disease that is strongly associated with smoking cigarettes… a practice that causes lung irritation that gradually destroys the lungs. The most common symptom of emphysema is a feeling of shortness of breath. It is incurable but treatment can help control the disease. Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. It is characterized by loss of elasticity of the lung tissue. The best response to the early warning signs is prevention. Stop smoking and get immediate treatment for lung infections. Wheezing can sometimes be the first obvious symptom of emphysema.

 

It is a well known fact that most lung diseases are characterized by weak antioxidant activity and impaired glutathione-related enzyme systems.

 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

 

Environmental illness, also- known- as multiple chemical sensitivity, is on the rise. Chronic exposure to substances foreign to your body may lead to a collection of symptoms … subtle and hard-to-pinpoint changes in health. These often reveal themselves in a combination of minor complaints – such as headaches, fatigue and lethargy. There are many sources of exposure to xenobiotics. Once environmental illness is diagnosed, the logical first step is to remove the offending toxins from a person’s environment and begin body detoxification. An important factor in the development of environmental illness is long-term exposure

 

Many substances can be detoxified by Glutathione conjugation.

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

In this post you have seen some of the Es of the ABCs category. Hopefully you are now taking the means to make sure that your Glutathione levels are sufficient for your wellness. Do not let illness take your body hostage. Prevent! Prevent! Prevent!

 

When you doggedly pursue the key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” you discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Because Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant that is naturally produced in your body. It is the Boss… the General Contractor of your Immune System. It takes all the building materials that you provide in order to fashion you into a structure of wellness. The final result is your Immune System Wellness!

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 specific points of focus. The first one is for you to be in sync with your immune system. The second one is to realize how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. The third one is for you to be mindful of diseases or conditions where higher Glutathione levels may be beneficial.

 

 

There is no doubt that the question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” will be on everyone’s mind within a very short period of time. Just last night one of the major networks presented a striking two-hour special about life as we approach the year 2100. Some of the most prominent minds on the subject even say that we must take action within the next 6 years or we may  reach a point of no return, as far as allowing our planet to recuperate from the damages it has sustained. Part of the fallout of that kind of situation will be the tremendous stress put on your immune system. Your immune system is NOW under attack and will be even MORE SO, should that kind of predicted future come to pass. Would you agree that it makes sense to take control of your own immune system? Would that qualify as preventive action?

  

Now on to some of the Ds of the ABCs.

 

 

DIABETES

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects more than 150 million people in the world today. As a metabolic disorder, it affects the body’s ability to manufacture and use insulin, a hormone necessary for the conversion of food into energy. Complications are long-term and affect almost every part of the body. Diabetes can be progressive, but only if you let it get out of hand. As such, it can deteriorate steadily to cause debilitating complications such as blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure, heart disease and limb amputation. Diabetes is a complex disease, which can affect the entire body. It is serious! However, people with diabetes can live long, healthy, happy lives. Diabetes is a silent killer. Many people can live with the disease for years and never find out that they have it until they start experiencing diabetes-related damage.

 

Diabetics should be considered immune-compromised because they are subject to many more infections than they can normally fight off. Diabetics with any sort of infection must be treated immediately and aggressively. Glutathione plays an important role in the fight against diabetes. Many visits to the doctor could be avoided if diabetics were less prone to infection. Elevated levels of Glutathione may help by:

 

  • Immune system support against infection
  • Decrease of oxidative stress hyperglycaemia
  • Decrease of platelet aggregation
  • Prevention of vascular complications including: heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, retinal damage and nerve damage.

 

Glutathione can help a weakened immune system fight bacterial infection and fungal infection, support compromised circulation against hardening of the arteries, kidney failure, visual loss and neurological problems. It also retards oxidative stress and anemia in dialysis patients.

 

 

DOWN SYNDROME

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Down syndrome is a condition caused by triplication of chromosome 21 occurring once in every 733 live births. It usually causes delays in physical, intellectual and language development. The female disorder is called “trisomy 21″. Down syndrome is not attributable to any behavioural activity of the parents or environmental factors. It is a genetic condition not an illness or disease. Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic birth defects.

 

Oxidative stress and free radical formation have been studied in Down syndrome. The gene for an enzyme involved in oxidation/antioxidation reactions called ‘superoxide dismutase’ is located on chromosome 21. Increased SOD activity may overproduce hydrogen peroxide and thus release free radicals. Researchers have observed the heightened demand that this places on antioxidant defences. The person with Down syndrome is dealing with an impaired Glutathione defence.

Now on to some of the Cs of the ABCs.

 

 

CANCER

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Cancer is expected to overtake heart disease as the world’s leading killer by 2010.  More than 100 types are known of varying aggression. Many cancers are treatable; many are curable. Cancer is a grouping of diseases or disorders marked by uncontrolled division of cells with the ability of these cells to invade other tissues. This invasion occurs either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites. The process is called metastasis. Medical specialists usually treat cancer with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Unregulated growth that is seen in cancer is caused by damage to DNA. The result is mutation to genes that encode proteins controlling cell division. A popular perception is that colon cancer is a ‘man’s disease’. In fact, colon cancer affects men and women almost equally. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for men and the third leading cause of cancer death among women. Skin cancer is the most prominent type of cancer in the United States. Doctors are cautioning people to become more conscious of the disease. Skin cancer is therefore just as dangerous as any other type of cancer. Prevention is urged in this matter! Hundreds of articles have been written on the role of Glutathione in cancer prevention and cancer treatment. A special role for Glutathione is in chemotherapy and radiotherapy where it enhances the effectiveness of these challenging treatments for the patients while minimizing their side-effects.

 

CROHN’S

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Crohn’s is a disease where the immune system identifies the intestines and stomach as foreign objects. It can involve large segments of the digestive tract anywhere from the mouth to the anus. A severe, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, it is controllable but not curable. Crohn’s can be devastating and debilitating. One of the key characteristics of the inflammatory process is fever.  It is an embarrassing disease, that condemns its victims to stay within range of a restroom. Primarily caused by a bacteria which provokes diarrhea, cramping and abdominal pain, it can be quite painful and can also lead to other health problems. Crohn’s is a chronic, life-long condition that affects more than 500,000 Americans. Samples of tissue inflamed by Crohn’s disease show consistent evidence of severe oxidative stress. The degree of oxidative stress can be correlated to the degree of inflammation. Of all the antioxidants that can prevent or retard this damage, Glutathione is the central one.

 

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

CFS affects more than 1 million Americans and can be as debilitating as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and similar chronic conditions. It most commonly occurs in women ages 30 to 50, usually strikes people between the ages of 20 and 40, but also occurs in teens. CFS is characterized by incapacitating fatigue (experienced as profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina), sleep difficulties, and problems with concentration and short-term memory. It is also referred to as immune dysfunction syndrome. CFS is diagnosed two to four times more often in women than in men, possibly because of biological, psychological, and social influences. Involving constant, disabling fatigue that is not relieved by bed rest, CFS is a progressive immune disorder which affects all body organs and ecosystems. The well- recognized German immunochemist Dr Wulf Dröge has coined the term ‘Low CG Syndrome’ to describe a number of disease states associated with a depletion of cysteine and glutathione. Among these are CFS.

 

Voila … a few of the conditions that can be placed in the Cs of our ABCs category. I hope this will drive you to dig deeper for your own satisfaction and education. More importantly, make sure that your Glutahione levels are just right for your total wellness. 

 

As you mine deeper into the key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” you will discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Because Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant naturally manufactured in your body. It is the Boss… the General Contractor of your Immune System. It takes all the working materials that you provide in order to build you into a bastion of wellness. The final result is Immune System Wellness!

dsc021458

‘What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System - the ABCs That Can Save Your Life’, has 3 objectives. One is for you to become very conscious of your immune system. Two is to understand how important Glutathione levels are in boosting your immune system. Three is being able to spot disorders that could be connected to a shortage of Glutathione in your body so they can be dealt with quickly.

Media coverage and public discussion will increase in the near future concerning this overlooked defence system where biological warfare is a reality. This is your opportunity to be in the know and to take preventive action! You are the captain of your powerful internal defence system. The rewards of paying attention to its care … well … what do you think? 

  

Now on to some of the Bs of the ABCs.

 

BALDNESS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Baldness, often the brunt of jokes, is not just a concern for the men. It may be a sign that other areas of our health are at risk. Baldness is a medical condition that affects 25% of men in their 20s and 2/3 of all men after the age of 60. Approximately 40 million men and 20 million women in the United States are affected. Considered as hereditary, it continues to create a stigma, both aesthetically and psychologically for women and men. Exceptionally there are some people for whom it is not an issue. Baldness is connected to an auto-immune disease, a disease that results from your body attacking itself. It may be caused by a fungal infection. Baldness is no longer undefeated. Treatments range from the medicinal to the surgical.

 

Anagen is the active growing phase of hair. Research shows an active correlation between Glutathione content and the percentage of Anagen hairs present in the scalp, concluding that Glutathione helps maintain the hair growth cycle. Researchers theorize that free radical formation plays a role in male pattern baldness. It is possible to break down the products of oxidative stress in bald and hairy areas of the scalp. The values are doubled in the balding areas. And the hairy areas have almost three times as much Glutathione. The suggestion is that Glutathione plays a protective role.

 

BRONCHITIS

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Bronchitis is an infection resulting in inflammation of the bronchial tubes which is usually caused by a virus. It is clinically defined as a chronic cough with mucus production most months during the year. Bronchitis usually develops rapidly and lasts fewer than 2 to 3 weeks and is marked by a painful and persistent cough. It is extremely contagious and it can be caught through coughing, sneezing, or touching places that an infected person has touched. It can also result from inhaling the fumes from acids, solvents, cigarettes or other environmental toxins. Bronchitis can be particularly dangerous for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. Oxidative stress is high in the lungs for many reasons. It is a well-known fact that most lung diseases are characterized by weak anti-oxidant activity and impaired glutathione-related enzyme systems. When white blood cells meet bacteria, they release caustic substances like peroxides. This is biochemical warfare, and the white blood cells and the surrounding tissues use Glutathione to defend themselves.

 

BURNOUT

 

What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?

 

Burnout has many causes, and several have to do with the type of lifestyle you lead. It can happen in a year, or a decade. Burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to demanding situations. It is the cumulative result of distress and is preventable!  Burnout is a psychological term for experiencing long-term exhaustion often leading to diminished interest. It is a chronic condition where your body, mind or emotions can no longer cope with overwhelmingly high demands.

 

Physical burnout can have you run the risk of contracting all sorts of sickness. Over training depletes the immune system possibly leading to fluctuations in insulin secretion, alterations in glucocorticoids and hormone levels, inhibition of glucose uptake to tissues, catabolic (breakdown) effects on protein and nitrogen excretion and lactic over-production.

 

Research into exercise physiology shows raised Glutathione levels to increase immune function, help resist infection, decrease muscular damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscular movement.

 

These are just a few of the conditions that can be placed in the B of our ABCs category. I trust this will encourage you to dig deeper for your own satisfaction and education. More importantly, I hope you will make sure that your Glutahione levels are just right for your total wellness. 

 

Remind yourself constantly of the key question, “What Can I Take To Boost My Immune System?” You will discover that the answer is … Glutathione. Why? Because Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant naturally manufactured in your body. It is the Boss… the General Contractor of your Immune System. It takes all the working materials that you provide in order to build you into a tower of wellness. The final result is Immune System Wellness!
