Build A Strong Immune System And Win The War On Disease

Written by George Shears


Just as our country is currently engaged in a war against covert terrorism, your immune system is similarly waging a constant war againstrepparttar hidden enemies within your body.

This war started before you were born and it will continue until you die. Although it's a war that always ends in defeat, there's a lot you can do to markedly postpone that ultimate defeat and to maintain a state of vibrant health into advanced old age.

These enemies of your immune system include well over 400 toxins ingested fromrepparttar 113776 food you eat,repparttar 113777 water you drink, andrepparttar 113778 air you breathe, along with a multitude of bacteria, viruses, and mutated cancer cells. Increasingly, it has to deal with particularly aggressive bacteria that have developed resistance to most, if not all, antibiotics.

It is also being challenged by a host of new viruses, including HIV, SARS, West Nile, ever-changing strains of influenza that now bearrepparttar 113779 threat of a world-wide pandemic. Never inrepparttar 113780 history of our species has it been more important to have a very strong, well-functioning immune system.

A recent longitudinal study, however, has shown that an average person's immune system declines at a rate of approximately 3% per year! The subjects in this 12-year study were all young adults and were apparently healthy whenrepparttar 113781 study began.

When your immune system is functioning fully, it's very much like a very powerful army. It is composed of several highly specialized types of cells, much as an army is made up of many different specialty groups.

Just as supply lines are of crucial importance for an army to wage an effective and successful campaign,repparttar 113782 cells of your immune system must similarly receive a constant infusion of allrepparttar 113783 crucially-important nutrients that they need. As is well known inrepparttar 113784 art of war, when these supply lines break down,repparttar 113785 war is lost.

Another element that is of equally crucial importance--both to an effective fighting army and to your immune system--is constant and effective communication. If this breaks down,repparttar 113786 war also cannot be won. One ofrepparttar 113787 most common objectives in warfare is to destroyrepparttar 113788 "command and control" ofrepparttar 113789 enemy.

When communication breaks down inrepparttar 113790 immune system,repparttar 113791 individual cells in this system do not work together effectively; moreover, they lose their effectiveness both in being able to detect various kinds of enemies and in disabling them. And worst of all, they often mistakenly perceive that other cells arerepparttar 113792 enemy and aggressively attack them. This results inrepparttar 113793 many forms of auto-immune diseases that are becoming increasingly prevalent.
