Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B.
Daily, Jr., Ph.D. - "Our health is directly influenced by our
immune system. The onset of almost all infectious and degenerative
disease is preceded or accompanied by inadequate immune response.
With intensifying concerns about the perils of vaccinations
and antibiotic resistant organisms, a new
weapon against disease is sorely needed. Transfer factors
are such a weapon, and based 
upon
almost 50 years of research, Transfer Fator appear
to be highly effective with few, if any, side effects. If our immune
systems are functioning normally, transfer factors are produced after we
are exposed to infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
parasites. Recent research, however, provides evidence that transfer factors,
even from another animal such as a cow, can enable us to develop immunity
to infectious agents before we are actually exposed to them. In addition,
transfer factor administration can accelerate our immune response once
we have been infected. This new approach to optimizing the immune
response to infectious agents promises to revolutionize our approach to
disease prevention and control!"
"The
long term effects of the breakdown of the immune system can be seen in
increased infections, auto-immune disorders and tumor formation. The body's
last ditch effort to compensate for the loss of internal defenses is to
hyper activate the depressed immune function. What it may do is over stimulate
the immune function, sacrificing the "self" - "not self" regulatory mechanisms.
The defenses then perceive its own organs and systems as "not self" and
begin to mount defenses against them. This starts the precipitous march
toward auto immune disorders such as SLE, Multiple
Sclerosis, Rhumathoid Arthritis and possibly
Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome."
Spontaneous
Regression: Cancer and the Immune System We have all heard stories
of apparently miraculous recoveries from terminal cancer, but are any of
these accounts true? Absolutely. Medical journals have published thousands
of case histories about seemingly incurable patients who have seen their
cancers disappear in the absence of medical treatment. These examples of
spontaneous regression demonstrate the power of the human immune system.
It can cure cancer.
William J. Hennen, PhD. - “It is increasingly
clear that as the world becomes a smaller place with viruses and other
pathogens traveling with great ease, we face now a unique challenge. Simply
put, we are now, and will be, more exposed to challenges to our health.
However, nature has already provided the immune system as the defense to
the microbes in our environment. To the degree we are able to educate the
immune system to recognize the invader, will determine our ability to cope
with the challenges. I urge all people to pay attention to those things
that affect your 
immune
system.”
According t o Dr. George C Pack, MD, a cancer specialist at Cornell
medical School, almost everyone has cancer cells
present at times in our bodies. If our immune system is working properly,
these cells are killed or reabsorbed by our defense system before they
begin to grow and threaten our health. The only real defense against cancer
is the immune system. Everyone gets cancer every day but if the immune
system is where it should be those cancer cells are eliminated and we never
know it. Natural

Towards
the end of Louis Pasteur's life, he confessed that germs may not be the
cause of disease after all, but may simply be another symptom of disease.
He had come to realize that germs seem to lead to illness primarily when
the person's immune and defense system (what biologists call "host resistance")
is not strong enough to combat them. The "cause" of disease is not simply
a bacteria but also the factors that compromise host resistance, including
the person's hereditary endowment, his nutritional state, the stresses
in his life, and his psychological state.
Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D. - "Transfer
factors are small molecular messengers produced by immune T lymphocytes.
The message they provide is a specific description of an invading pathogen.
Using transfer factors, immune T lymphocytes can transfer the ability to
recognize and invading pathogen to previously naïve lymphocytes.
In other words, one T lymphocyte tells another what the enemy looks like
so that a coordinated attack can be mounted." Learn

Antibiotics and
Suppressive Therapies
Standard Western Medicine strives to suppress the immune response,
working against the body. If there is a fever, lower it, if inflammation
is present provide steroids to remove it and of course if Western Medicine
thinks a bacteria or virus is present or doesn't know what is wrong, a
dose of anti-biotics is provided. This way of doing things can be effective
in the immediate term, and important in life threatening situations, but
potentially devastating in the long term especially when over-used. Because,
what eventually happens, is that immune system becomes weak and ineffective
or damaged and over-reactive and disease is pushed deeper into the body
to come back stronger and more difficult to get rid of at a later date.
This is called trading ACUTE disease for long-term CHRONIC disease,
and it is one reason why so many of us are chronically ill today. A Holistic
health care practitioner will not want to suppress symptoms unless they
view it to be absolutely necessary, because those 
symptoms
are a sign the immune system is working and doing its job. Understanding
Basic Healing Principles of Natural Cure
David M. Markowitz, M.D.:
"Did
you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics
in the U.S. last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly
resistant to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they
are released for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek
(and many medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious
agents throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe
and natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child
or patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several
ear infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives."
David
M. Markowitz, M.D.
Although the suppressive therapies are hard on the body, they do not
compare with he rampant idiocy of using antibiotics for viral infections.
Thankfully some measure of sanity appears to be returning to the medical
profession. More and more doctors are avoiding prescribing antibiotics
for colds and flus. Several critical observations must be made here.
First, antibiotics are totally ineffective against viruses. The excuse
most often heard for prescribing antibiotics in a viral illness is to prophylactically
protect the body against a secondary bacterial infection. This is an idea
proven to be false decades ago. In the United States, of the 5 most common
antibiotics prescribed, three are broad spectrum. That's a problem!
Second, the basis of antibiotics is mold. Through millions of years
of evolution, bacteria and mold have coexisted in nature - in the soil,
plants and animals. When one of them developed an evolutionary edge over
the other and began to shift the balance in favor of itself, the other
must have rapidly learned to defend itself against this new attack. If
this were not true, we would only have either bacteria or molds but not
both. By using mold, we thought we could slay one step ahead of bacteria
in the evolutionary scale because we're so smart. Well, the yolk is on
us, the bacteria are winning, and at a record pace. So in our attempt to
wipe out bacteria, we forced them into a revolutionary evolutionary change
and we damaged our immunity so badly that we become easy prey for viruses.
Additional side effects of antibiotics are immune suppression and the increased
susceptibility to parasites.
The long term effects of the breakdown of the immune system can be seen
in increased infections, auto-immune disorders and tumor formation. The
body's last ditch effort to compensate for the loss of internal defenses
is to hyper activate the depressed immune function. What it may do is over
stimulate the immune function, sacrificing the "self" - "not self" regulatory
mechanisms. The defenses then perceive its own organs and systems as "not
self" and begin to mount defenses against them. This starts the precipitous
march toward auto immune disorders such as SLE, MS, RA, and possibly CFS.

--- Why
elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the
disease
James
Howenstine, MD. - "Excessive antibiotics
in children almost certainly stops normal maturation of a healthy immune
system. Lack of healthy bacteria in the intestines caused by antibiotics
creates an environment in which pieces of partially digested proteins are
able to penetrate the barrier of the intestinal lining. When these abnormal
proteins enter the blood the body properly reacts to them as foreign substances.
The foreign proteins cause an antigen antibody reaction producing symptoms
and setting the stage for a possible auto-immune illness to develop. Food
allergies can also appear along with impaired absorption of nutrients which
may lead to poor health." more
Dr. Lawrence Wilson - "To strengthen the immune system, one must
address the needs of the whole body. A strong immune
system is essential for health. It is a very complex system of
the body, involving the skin, intestines, nasal mucosa, blood, lymph and
many other organs and tissues. Factors that impair the immune system
include nutrient deficiencies, contaminated air, water and food, unhealthful
lifestyles and too much exposure to harmful microbes. Other factors
that weaken the immune system are negative attitudes and emotions and the
presence of toxic metals, toxic chemicals and biological toxins in the
body. Others are sluggish metabolism, lack of rest and sleep, excessive
stress or too much exercise. As these causative factors are removed
or corrected, the immune system improves." PREVENTING
AND TREATING INFECTIONS NATURALLY
Towards the end of Louis Pasteur's life, he confessed

The "cause" of disease is not simply a bacteria but also the factors that
compromise host resistance, including the person's hereditary endowment,
his nutritional state, the stresses in his life, and his psychological
state.
Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin, cautioned
against the overuse of antibiotics. Unless
the scientific community and the general public heed his warning, Harvard
professor Walter Gilbert, a Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, asserted, "There
may be a time down the road when 80% to 90% of infections will be resistant
to all known antibiotics." In Beyond
Antibiotics, Drs. Schmidt, Smith, and Sehnert explore the problems
presented by the overuse of these drugs. More importantly, they show how
to build immunity, improve resistance to infections, and avoid antibiotics
when possible.

of the late Pasteur and have ignored the importance of host resistance

Linda
Page, N.D. Ph.D. - "What does the immune system really do? Immune defense
is autonomic, using its own subconscious memory to establish antigens against
harmful pathogens. It's a system that works on its own to fend off or neutralize
disease toxins, and set up a healing environment for the body. It is this
quality of being a part of us, yet not under our conscious control, that
is the great power of immune response. It is also the dilemma of medical
scientists as they struggle to get control of a system that is all pervasive
and yet, in the end, impossible to completely understand. Maintaining strong
immune defenses in today's world is not easy. Daily exposure to environmental
pollutants, the emotional and excessive stresses of modern lifestyles,
chemicalized foods, and new virus mutations are all a challenge to our
immune systems. Devastating, immune compromised diseases are rising all
over the world. Reduced immunity is the main factor in opportunistic diseases,
like candida albicans, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, HIV, hepatitis,
mononucleosis, herpes II, sexually transmitted diseases and cancer. These
diseases have become the epidemic of our time, and most of us don't have
very much to fight with. An overload of antibiotics, antacids, immunizations,
cortico-steroid drugs, and environmental pollutants eventually affect immune
system balance to the point where it cannot distinguish harmful cells from
healthy cells. "

Acute Respiratory Syndrome, (SARS) is yet another painful reminder that

Disorders
What
Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Autoimmune Disorders: The Revolutionary,
Drug-Free Treatments for Thyroid Disease, Lupus, MS, IBD, Chronic Fatigue;
Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Other Diseases - Dr. Edelson MD
Autoimmune
disorders are not well understood and therefore difficult to treat. The
result is that there are millions of Americans who are suffering because
they aren't being diagnosed properly, or getting the correct medical treatment
they need. Here, Dr. Edelson discusses the most common 
types
of autoimmune diseases, including lupus, Chron's disease, thyroid disease,
rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome, outlining their symptoms,
causes, and risk factors. He describes his own revolutionary program for
treating the root of all autoimmune disorders-without drugs-providing readers
with new hope for getting back on the road to better health.
The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a varied group of more than
80 serious, chronic illnesses that involve almost every human organ system.
It includes diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems
as well as skin and other connective tissues, eyes blood, and blood vessel.
In all of these diseases, the underlying problem is similar--the body's
immune system becomes misdirected, attacking the very organs it was designed
to protect. The immune system is a scapegoat for a variety of ills in this
wide-ranging but tendentious guide to approaching diseases like lupus,
Crohn's disease, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Transfer
Factor - Natural Immune Modulator
The scientific term "transfer factors" was added to dictionaries in
1956. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines "transfer factor"
as "a substance that is produced and secreted by a lymphocyte functioning
in cell-mediated immunity and that upon incorporation into a lymphocyte
which has not been sensitized confers on it the same immunological specificity
as the sensitized cell". What this all means, is that when immune system
cells have battled with specific disease invaders, they produce a substance
that transfers a message of warning on to other immune cells. The newly
alerted immune cells "remember" the warning message, producing the same
substance, alerting other immune cells. Once alerted, the immune cells
always "remember" who the specific enemy is, and how to attack it. Because
scientists were unable to actually identify this unknown immune stimulating
substance, they coined the simple term "transfer factor" to describe it.
Every
mother (human or mammal) that breast feeds her baby, passes all of the
immunity gained throughout her lifetime on to her infant. Transfer factors
are not species-specific and can therefore be extracted from any mammal
and then be given to another mammal with the same efficacy. There
are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various forms
and sources of transfer factors.. Learn more

Homeopathy
to stimulate immune system response
As a properly practiced art, homeopathy stimulates an accelerated immune
system response. Historically, homeopathy has proven many times to be more
effective than allopathic medicine in the treatment and prevention of disease,
with risk of harmful side effects. In a U.S. cholera outbreak in 1849,
allopathic medicine saw a 48-60% death rate, while homeopathic hospitals
had a documented death rate of only 3%. Roughly similar statistics still
hold true for cholera today. Recent epidemiological studies show homeopathic
remedies as equaling or surpassing standard vaccinations in preventing
disease. There are reports in which populations that were treated homeopathically
after exposure had a 100% success rate-none of the treated caught the disease.
Back in the early 1800's homeopathy carved out a reputation for itself
with the extraordinary results its treating patients during epidemics.
The battle of Leipzig in 1813 caused an outbreak of typhus which Hahnemann
treated. Of the 180 patients he treated, only 2 died, the medical profession
had a greater than 50% mortality rate. During the winter of 1831-1832 a
cholera epidemic broke out in Europe. The homeopathic patients had a 4%
mortality rate compared to over 50% with conventional medicine. Excellent
results were obtained in all the following plagues as well.
The
Role of Intestines in Immunology
The danger model: a renewed sense of self" is a landmark article published
in the J. Science 2002;296:301. It reminds us of the work of Dr. Metnikoff,
who won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1908 by demonstrating the ancient
principle that most of our immune system is in the intestines. This concept
is being resurrected by mainstream researchers. ("Mucosal Immuniry:its
role in defense and allergy," J. International Archives of Allergy and
Immunology 2002;128:77.) Marine phytoplankton
works as a super-food, its salutary work begins in the intestines, by healing
the lining cell membranes of our intestines, and by improving the quality
of food our friendly organisms need to thrive on. They, too, are an integral
part of our immune system. In fact, the liver is also part of the immune
system. As we have already discussed, healing these organs leads to an
improvement of practically all medical conditions. Most of this improvement
is through the healing of our immune systems in the intestines.
The
intestinal lining becomes porous when it is inflamed, oxidized, toxic,
and lacking in energy. 'This is called "leaky
gut." This allows for "translocation" of toxins and noxious organisms
from the intestines to the rest of our body. One of the many problems that
result is a priming of the "systemic immune system" to attack molecules
and tissues it should not be attacking. This means that the immune system
you are more familiar with (white cells, antibodies, immunoglobulins, etc.)
is overwhelmed, and confused. This is the main reason why we develop "autoimmune"
problems, such as arthritis, lupus, thyroiditis, etc.
The immune system in the intestines and in the rest of the body are
composed of "glycoproteins." This means
that its components are proteins that need the correct sugars to attach
to them in order to be structured, and function the correct way. This is
one of the reasons why refined sugars depress our immune system. One can
of Coke impairs white cell function by more than half, for over three hours.
Marine phytoplankton provides the right sugars, thus healing these glycoproteins
to improve their ability to fight noxious organisms, and toxins. "Immunotoxicology"
is the science that tells us that toxins in the environment compromise
our immune system. By improving our detoxification pathways throughout
our body, FrequenSea also improves the immune system.
"The intricate interface between immune system and metabolism" (J. Trends
in Immunology 2004;25:193.) reminds us of the concept of "Metabolomics."
By improving our cells' ability to produce energy, we also improve our
immune system. After all, it also needs energy to function. This also means
that being obese and prediabetic compromises our immune system. By improving
insulin resistance, Marine phytoplankton improves the immune system.
Hugo Rodier M.D. -
"There are very few products that provide all, or even most, of the raw
materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem
is that we need ALL of them at the same time for things to work. One of
those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and
the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton.
Dr. Joseph Rodrigo M.D - "Almost all diseases begin in the digestive
track. This includes diabetes, asthma, cancer, alzheimer's, heart
disease, memory loss, fibromyalgia, MS, and too many to even list here.
If you are seeking health, and you have not found the answers to your recovery
and healing, start here. Your intestinal track is the origin of disease,
and it is also the origin of your healing. I cannot emphasize enough
how important the cleansing of your digestive system is, to your health."
Dr. H. H. Boeker believed that over 90 percent of diseases are caused
or complicated by toxins created in the intestinal tract by unhealthy
foods that are not properly eliminated." Autointoxication occurs when,
due to poor elimination, certain toxins escape from the bowel into the
blood stream and poison the body, causing a silent form of self-poisoning.
Sixty
to 80 percent of the lymphatic system is in your small intestine. Called
the gut-associated
lymphoid tissue (GALT),
it is almost synonymous with the term immune system. The gigantic task
of your GALT is to discriminate between nutritious components and possible
antigens passing through your bowel.
Autointoxication or "self-poisoning"
from the bowel was a recognized cause of disease in the early 1900s. Dr.
H. H. Boeker stated in 1928, "It is now universally conceded that autointoxication
is the underlying cause of an exceptionally large group of symptom complexes."
Recent research seems to support these earlier conclusions about intestinal
toxemia. Virtually every state of health is affected by the GI tract. In
addition to processing nutrients as the principal pathway of the digestive
system, the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract.) is
a prominent part of the immune 
system,
providing various levels of defense against pathogenic microorganisms and
potentially toxic substances throughout the path of digestion. If
these waste products are not regularly eliminated, they begin to poison
the body and blood. Unchecked, this autointoxication may ultimately lead
to disease and even death.
Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions:
the air we breathe, the food 
we
eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic
waste produced inside us. Toxins build up in the body faster than they
can be removed, contributing to premature aging and chronic and degenerative
diseases. Dr.
Miller's Detox Tea - formulated by Dr. Bill Miller Ph.D. -
is a unique herbal blend of safe, all-natural ingredients designed to gently
cleanse the digestive tract and detoxify the body.
The
Prebiotics and Probiotics for a Healthy Immune System
Probiotics and Prebiotics are the beneficial bacteria that are
normally present in the digestive tract. These bacteria are required for
proper digestion, the synthesis of Vitamin K, and the prevention of yeast
infections and pathogen growth. Studies have shown that the continual
use of antibiotics has a devastating affect on the immune system.
Each time you use an antibiotic, the immune system gets further and further
suppressed. Antibiotic kill friendly helpful microflora bacteria in a body,
not just the pathogenic bacteria. A healthy intestinal tract with a balanced
microflora can boost the immune system, keep pathogenic diseases of the
intestinal tract in check.
Probiotic use creates an intestinal environment that can improve a user's
immune system. The intestines are the body's largest immune organ. It's
a fairly hostile environment and a well balanced system can relieve immunological
stress associated with an unhealthful system. This gives the immune system
a chance to enhance its capabilities in other parts of the body. In a healthy
body, your inner ecosystem contains enough good bacteria (microflora or
probiotics) to outnumber the bad and help maintain control over them. Probiotics
may be a buzzword in the health and wellness industry, but you need to
consume plenty of prebiotics, to ensure you have enough probiotics populating
your gut.
Charles Smith D.O. OBGYN – Surgeon - "During the
past five years I have seen positive results with a probiotic – prebiotic
complex for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBDs) of Ulcerative
colitis and Crohn's. Other positive results were observed during the treatment
of Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis. Relief from various food allergies
and Acid Reflux are continually realized, while eliminating both constipation
and diarrhea associated with generalized gastric upset. We also observe
a natural mechanism to effectively address vaginal yeast infections. The
product we have seen these results with is called Prescript-Assist.
The initial positive results were so remarkable that I encouraged the company
to allow for a double-blinded,
placebo controlled clinical trial to support our initial findings.
Subsequently, I was one of three physician ‘co-investigators’ to a recently
published clinical study for Prescript-Assist’s effectiveness to treat
Irritable
Bowel Syndrome (IBS)."

High Cholesterol
Protects Against Infection
Many studies have found that low cholesterol is in certain respects
worse than high cholesterol. For instance, in 19 large studies of more
than 68,000 deaths, reviewed by Professor David R. Jacobs and his co-workers
from the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Minnesota, low cholesterol
predicted an increased risk of dying from gastrointestinal and respiratory
diseases.
Most gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases have an infectious origin.
Therefore, a relevant question is whether it is the infection that lowers
cholesterol or the low cholesterol that predisposes to infection? To answer
this question Professor Jacobs and his group, together with Dr. Carlos
Iribarren, followed more than 100,000 healthy individuals in the San Francisco
area for fifteen years. At the end of the study those who had low cholesterol
at the start of the study had more often been admitted to the hospital
because of an infectious disease. This finding cannot be explained away
with the argument that the infection had caused cholesterol to go down,
because how could low cholesterol, recorded when these people were without
any evidence of infection, be caused by a disease they had not yet encountered?
Isn´t it more likely that low cholesterol in some way made them more
vulnerable to infection, or that high cholesterol protected those who did
not become infected? Much evidence exists to support that interpretation.
The idea that too much animal fat and a high cholesterol is dangerous
to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Cholesterol is not a deadly
poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. Researchers
at the University San Diego School of Medicine UCSD point out that high
cholesterol in those over 75 years of age is protective, rather than harmful
and that low cholesterol is a risk factor for heart arrhythmias (leading
cause of death if heart attack occurs). Researchers from the University
of Denmark report that about 15% of cholesterol lowering drug users over
the age of 50 will suffer from nerve damage as direct result of using statin
drugs. USA Today reported that Statins have killed and injured more people
than the government has acknowledged. more

Glyconutrients
and the Immune System
An insufficiency of these sugar molecules is particularly disastrous
for the immune system, because it causes the cells of the immune system
to become, in effect, partially blind. These cells can then become over-reactive
in attacking allergens of all kinds and even in attacking the tissues of
the body; on the other hand, ironically, they may become under-reactive
in attacking true pathogens that are serious threats to the body. Unfortunately,
six of these crucially-important sugar molecules are seriously lacking
in the modern diet. They are commonly found, however, in vine-ripened fruits
and vegetables and also in many of the wild foods that our stone-age ancestors
consumed in abundance.
Dr. Douglas Willen - "Today, six out of the top ten causes of death
are diet related, and chronic degenerative diseases afflict over 120 million
Americans. Glyconutrients, which have amazing abilities to maintain and
balance your immune system, helping you to achieve optimum health and prevent
even the most insidious of today’s killer diseases."
When these glyconutrients, as they are called technically (glyco from
the Greek word for "sweet"), are provided in adequate quantity to the body
through supplementation, all of the cells in the body start functioning
much more effectively. This is especially true for cells in the immune
system. As cell-to-cell communication improves in this system, it tends
to become better modulated--that is, less likely either to over- or under-react.
Correspondingly, allergies and auto-immune conditions tend to diminish
or disappear.
Studies confirm that the eight essential biologically active sugars
can accomplish amazing results. The following are just a few examples of
the exciting possibilities of Glyconutrition:
• Dramatically raises natural killer cell and macrophage count against
infectious organisms.
• Activates immune T-cell activity only when invaders or antigens are
present.
• Decreases cell death in chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Dramatically elevates disease resistance in weakened individuals.
• Acts as antioxidant compounds, which boost the collection of dangerous
free radicals.
• Protects the body against toxin and pollutant exposure.
• Slows premature aging.
• Decreases inflammation in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
• Helps immune cells recognize invaders due to a mutual “sugar exchange”
of information.
• Enables cellular components to stick to each other initiating the
right reactions.

Soy
Weakens Your Immune System
Dr. Mercola - "A 1997 Lancet study showed that soy has glycosides
of genistein and daidzein or plant based chemicals that mimic estrogen.
They possess a wide range of hormonal and non-hormonal activities. Soy
formula is one of the worst foods that you could feed your child. Not only
does it have profoundly adverse hormonal effects as discussed above, but
it also has over 1000% more aluminum than conventional milk based formulas.
It is becoming increasingly common for young children, even 5- and 6-year-olds,
to go through precocious
puberty (aka early sexual development). The introduction of this report
even states that studies have found girls as young as 2 years old entering
puberty! This is clearly a multi-faceted problem, but I believe one of
its main causes stems from your environmental exposure to a whole slew
of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Even the conservative US government
has recognized that soy formula is a potent endocrine
disruptor. There is absolutely no reason to ever give your child soy
formula or soy milk. It is one of the worst foods you could possibly give
your child and the long-term health complications can be quite significant.
Prostate and breast cancer, early puberty, endometriosis and infertility,
irregular and painful menstrual periods are only a few of the things your
children will have increased risk for if they are given soy formula or
soy milk. If you have already given your child these foods the best way
to reverse the damage is to have them rigidly follow
the eating plan. The nutrition from whole organic foods is the most
potent corrective force for these disruptions in hormones. If you still
aren't convinced of the dangers of soy you might want to review the protest
letter two FDA experts wrote earlier this year which points to studies
that show a link between soy and health problems in certain animals." more
Are Antibiotics
still effective?
The period once euphemistically called the Age of the Miracle Drug is
now dead. And the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is leading us to one
of the most frightening eras in recent memory. That is, the return of infectious
diseases for which there is no effective treatment. Two decades following
the introduction of antibiotics, the medical community began to see a disturbing
trend. Bacterial infections that were once treatable no longer responded
to antibiotics. Penicillin is effective today against only 10 percent of
the strains of Staphylococcus aureus that it used to eradicate easily.
Those that did respond often required five to ten times the dose of the
drug that previously was effective. One example of this is the resistant
strains of gonorrhea that developed as a result of the antibiotics that
were used to treat it." Michael Traub,
N.D.
Herbal Alternatives

Officials from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for

Immune
Dysfunction -Winning My Battle Against Toxins, Illness and the Medical
Establishment by Judith Lopez
This compelling memoir of a life-or-death struggle with immune deficiency
and the medical profession illuminates that dark side of medicine where
unfounded beliefs substitute for scientific knowledge. You must read this
book if you have unexplained medical problems such as debilitating fatigue
and pain - you can't think clearly because of brain fog - your doctor
implies that it's all in your head - you want help and inspiration to find
the cause and a solution.
"Immune Dysfunction: Winning
My Battle Against Toxins, Illness and The Medical Establishment is the
personal and compelling story of Judith Lopez and her experiences with
medical mismanagement and malpractice. Judith documents her struggle with
a mystery malady that was life threatening. All the while her doctors sought
to discount chronic fatigue syndrome, yeast syndrome, and environmental
illnesses as merely sociogenic problems, the result of a mass hysteria
or psychosomatic illness. After a twenty year battle with an illness the
medical community proclaimed to be non-existent, Judith finally connected
with Doctor Vincent Marinkovich, a Stanford professor and authority on
clinical immunology and allergy, who was able to understand and treat her
symptoms. Immune Dysfunction is a powerful and engaging medical memoir
and highly recommended reading for anyone suffering from any form of environmentally
generated illness whose physicians are trying to palm off as a form of
hysteria or mental illness, as well as medical students, health workers,
and practicing physicians concerned with the proper diagnosis and treatment
of the rapidly growing numbers of men, women, and children who are experiencing
environmentally driven immune system dysfunctions. " an

Fish oils and the immune system
OXFORD, UNITED KINGDOM. Animal studies have shown that an increase in
fat intake can decrease the number of natural killer (NK) cells found in
the blood and spleen. NK cells are an integral part of the natural immune
response to virus infections and certain types of cancer. Researchers at
Oxford University now report that fish
oil significantly decreases NK cell activity in healthy human subjects.
Their clinical trial involved 48 men and women aged 55 to 75 years.
The participants were randomized to receive one of six supplements for
12 weeks. The supplements were all provided in the form of capsules, three
of which were to be taken with each meal. The nine capsules (daily intake)
contained either a total of 2 g alpha-linolenic acid, 770 mg gamma-linolenic
acid (from evening primrose oil), 680 mg arachidonic acid, 720 mg docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA), 720 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)+ 280 mg DHA (fish oil) or
a placebo (an 80:20 mix of palm and sunflower oils). All the participants
had blood samples taken four weeks before start of supplementation, immediately
before start of supplementation, and then every four weeks during the trial
as well as after a four-week washout period. The researchers found no changes
in killer cell activity except in the group taking fish oil. Here they
observed an average decline of 20 per cent after 8 weeks and 48 per cent
after 12 weeks. The decline was completely reversed after the washout period.
The fact that no decline was observed with pure DHA strongly suggests that
EPA was responsible. The researchers conclude that an excessive EPA intake
could have adverse effects for people at risk of viral infections and some
cancers. Editor's Note: The British researchers' speculation about fish
oils perhaps affecting the effectiveness of NK cells in killing cancer
cells is at odds with the results of many other studies. There are at least
a dozen studies that show a clear protective effect of fish or fish oil
against breast, colon, and prostate cancer. NOTE: This study was partly
funded by Unilever. [54 references] Thies,

Fish
Oil: The Natural Anti-inflammatory
by Joseph Maroon, Ph.D.
Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as
heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been
identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies have confirmed
these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider the fact that the
battle against inflammation is at the forefront of the fight for health
and well-being of the global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey
Bost have set out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory."

Ginseng
is one of the most powerful healing plants in the world!
by Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D.
It’s been around for thousands of years. Every traditional healing culture
in the world has a ginseng or ginseng-type plant in it’s medicine chest.
Daily ginseng was a necessary matter of life throughout all of China’s
long history. At the turn of the 20th century, virtually every Chinese
person used ginseng to some extent for their well being, especially as
a wellness tonic. Ginseng was also highly esteemed by every Native American
culture.
At the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Jilin Province (where
ginseng is grown), researchers in the pharmacology department evaluated
the effects of ginseng on immune responses. The immune responses of mice
were tested with different dosages of extracts obtained either from the
leaf or the root of ginseng. Significant changes in the response of the
reticuloendothelial (RES) system were found, especially with moderate doses
of the root extracts. Larger doses did not improve the response. RES cells
are the immune system components that devour foreign organisms without
leaving their original sites in the liver, spleen and other tissues of
the body.
Ginseng - the most extensively studied herb on earth! Dr. Lin Yutang,
a Chinese research scientist who spent a lifetime learning about ginseng,
summed up his work by saying that "The magic tonic and building qualities
of ginseng are the most enduring, the most energy-giving, restorative qualities
known to mankind, yet it is distinguished by the slowness and gentleness
of its action". More modern research has been done on ginseng than all
other herbs combined. At the turn of the 21st century ginseng is being
intensively studied by athletic performance experts as well as medical
science. learn
more about the different kinds of ginseng, the many ailments ginseng addresses,
how to use ginseng for maximum results, and a list of the highest quality
ginseng formulas and products!
According to the British Journal of Biomedical Science, allicin
is considered to be the most potent antibacterial agent in crushed garlic
extracts. Garlic has been used since the days of the Egyptians to treat
wounds, infections, tumors, and intestinal parasites. Several animal
studies published between 1995 and 2005 indicate that allicin may
reduce atherosclerosis and fat deposition, normalize the lipoprotein balance,
decrease blood pressure, have anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities,
and function as an antioxidant. Garlic has been widely reported to protect
against cardiovascular disease by reducing serum cholesterol concentrations
and blood pressure and by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Garlic
detoxifies chemical carcinogens and prevent carcinogenesis and can also
directly inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Allicin, the heart of garlic,
stimulates immunity, including macrophage activity, natural killer and
killer cells, and LAK cells, and to increase the production of IL-2, TNF,
and interferon-gamma.

Therapeutic Fasting to Strenghten
the Immune Defense
"Proven throughout history for physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation,
fasting promotes cleansing and healing; helps normalize weight, blood pressure,
cholesterol; rebuilds the immune system; and helps reverse the aging process.
If we are to get these poisons out of our bodies we must fast. By fasting
we give our bodies a physiological rest. This rest builds Vital Force.
The more Vital Force we have, the more toxins are going to be eliminated
from the body to help keep it clean, pure and healthy." P. Bragg, Ph.D
Marine Plants

Immune-strengthening
effects of bee pollen A report from the Agronomic Institute,
Faculty of Zootechnics, Romania, showed the immune-strengthening effects
of bee pollen. According to the report, "Comparative Studies Concerning
Biochemical Characteristics of Beebread as Related to the Pollen Preserved
in Honey" by Drs. E. Palos, Z. Voiculescu, and C. Andrei, "An increase
has been recorded in the level of blood lymphocytes, gamma globulins, and
proteins in those subjects given pollen in comparison with control groups.
The most significant difference occurred in lymphocytes. These results
thus signify a strengthening in the resistance of the organic system."
Lymphocytes are the white blood cells that are the "soldiers" of the immune
system. They are responsible for ridding the body of injurious and harmful
substances, including infected or diseased cells, mutant and cancerous
cells, viruses, metabolic trash, and so on. Gamma globulin is a protein
formed in the blood, and our ability to resist infection is closely related
to this protein's activity.
Echinacea
and Golden Seal: nature's potent immune system booster
As well as its blood purifying properties, echinacea is an effective
antibacterial, antiviral and immune system stimulant or infection fighter.
For more than 100 years it has proven useful in most diseases due to impurities
of the blood. It is excellent for treating the causes of fever, infection,
colds and flu and is specific for all glandular infections. Echinacea (pronounced
eek-in-asia) is a plant which was first used by Native American Indians
to cure snake bites, colds, flu and other fever-related illnesses. Today
echinacea is commercially cultivated and is the most popular herb in the
world. In Europe, echinacea is used in many cases instead of antibiotics.
Golden Seal is claimed by many to be the world's oldest medicinal plant.
It is said to promote white blood cell activity, which is an important
part of your body's natural defense system.
Urine Therapy:
an immune system booster
The practice of Urine Therapy (Amaroli) comes from Yoga and is the use
of one's own urine as food, medicine, restorative, transforming agent and
immune system booster. It is sometimes called 'Your Own Doctor'. Amaroli
is very simple to do and increases the power of the immune system, strengthens
the Aura and improves skin health. Urine Therapy is one of the most powerful,
most researched and most medically proven natural cures ever discovered.
Raw Food/Enzyme
Therapy to Restore the Immune System
Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients.
When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your
body can use, it knows how to repair itself. "The body has the inherent
ability -the vitality -not only to heal itself and restore health, but
also to ward off disease. Illness is not caused simply by an invasion
of external agents or germs, but is a manifestation of the organism's attempt
to defend and heal itself. Prevention Is the Best Cure. Health is a reflection
of how we choose to live." TC Fry
Fresh, raw foods contain the highest level of enzymes. Enzymes are the
catalyst for the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur
throughout the body. Enzymes are needed to run all body systems. Metabolic
enzymes are used by the heart, lungs, kidneys, immune system, and for brain
functions. Disease proliferate only where there is not enough oxygen for
cells to be healthy. Raw foods contain an abundance of enzymes and oxygen.
In cooked foods, enzymes and oxygen are destroyed. The fastest way to restore
wellness is to stop putting into the body the things that have caused the
physical problem to develop in the first place, and then give the body
the nutrients it needs to repair and rebuild itself. The body is self-healing
when the infraction is stopped and proper nutrients provided.
Rev.
George Malkmus more
Earth Minerals
The foods we eat, over-processed and void of many essential nutrients,
are grown in soils that have been over-planted and saturated with synthetic
fertilizers and pesticides. Many mineral supplements are not easily assimilated
by the body. It's important that mineral supplements be water soluble,
not in rock form, and that the elements be in an oxygenated state, bringing
more oxygen to the blood cells and thereby releasing toxins from the body.
Scientists theorize that mineral deficiency subjects us, and our animals,
to more diseases, aging, sickness and destruction of our physical well-being
than any other factor in personal health. To the science of living cells,
fulvic acids are vital in bringing substantial amounts of nutrients and
minerals into water solution and delivering their living energies to the
living cells. Shilajit in Sanskrit means "conqueror of mountains and destroyer
of weakness". It comes from the rocks in the lower Himalayas and is the
most important natural remedy of Ayurvedic medicine.
Optimal
Breathing for a Healthy Immune System
Oxygen depletion weakens our immune system, which leads to viral infections,
damaged cells, growths, inflamed joins, serious heart and circulatory problems,
toxic buildup in blood and premature aging. Low oxygen allows damaged cells
to multiply and form growths in our bodies because our cells are oxygen
deficient. If the cells in our bodies are rich in oxygen, mutated cells
are less able to reproduce.
Oxygen shortage in the human body has been linked to every major illness
category including heart conditions, cancer, digestion and elimination
problems, respiratory disease, inflamed, swollen and aching joints, sinus
problems, yeast infections and even sexual dysfunction. Fresh live foods
and rain water contain oxygen. Cooked foods and stagnant water has much
less oxygen. Oxygen is our primary source of energy. It displaces harmful
free radicals, neutralizes environmental toxins and destroys anaerobic
(the inability to live in oxygen rich environments) infectious bacteria,
parasites, microbes and viruses.
Effects
of Fear on the Immune System
"The psychological stressors of surgery deal a blow to the immune system,
but this is hardly discussed in the medical community," says Prof. Ben-Eliyahu.
"Ours is among the first studies to show that psychological fear may be
no less important than real physiological tissue damage in suppressing
immune competence." The surprising part of Prof. Ben-Eliyahu's studies
is that stress hormones such as adrenaline, which are released before and
during surgery, "underlie much of the devastating effects of surgery on
immune competence," says Prof. Ben-Eliyahu. Until now, doctors assumed
that the immune system was weakened due to tissue damage and the body's
responses to it. A weak immune system is one of the major factors that
promotes cancer metastases after an operation, explains Prof. Ben-Eliyahu."Timing
is everything after cancer surgery," says Prof. Ben-Eliyahu. "There is
a short window of opportunity, about a week after surgery, when the immune
system needs to be functioning maximally in order kill the tiny remaining
bits of tumor tissue that are scattered around the body."
Understanding
Basic Healing Principles of Natural Cure
Illness does not occur without cause. Underlying causes of disease
must be discovered and removed or treated before a person can recover completely
from illness. Symptoms express the body's attempt to heal, but are
not the cause of disease. Symptoms, therefore, should not be suppressed
by treatment. Physicians and surgeons palliate symptoms instead of
removing causes. The elimination of the symptom is not the same as elimination
of the disease. In allopathic medicine a symptom is usually thought of
as the patient's real disease and the goal is to hold back, decrease or
eliminate this symptom. This is often done without addressing the underlying
cause and does not promote a cure. The naturopathic physician seeks to
treat the causes of disease, rather than to merely eliminate or suppress
symptoms.
The
Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis
As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better
nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the
body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body
over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions.
During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house,
(detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal
organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and
fatigue. It is important that you adequately rest during this time. These
symptoms will pass as your body begins to normalize to a new level of health.
As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing.
You
may feel worse before you feel better. For example, if you used to
get skin rashes, the rashes may reappear or get worse for a period of time
as your body eliminates toxins through the skin. You may also experience
an initial increase in urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality,
you are not getting worse, you are actually getting better. Eventually
you will reach a plateau of better health. During the healing crisis, it
is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms with drugs or the
healing process may become interrupted. more

Alternative to "cut, burn and poison'' modalities of surgery, radiation

Ralph
W. Moss, Ph.D. - "Conventional cancer therapy is so toxic
and dehumanizing that I fear it far more than I fear death from cancer.
We know that conventional therapy doesn't work--if it did, you would not
fear cancer any more than you fear pneumonia. It is the utter lack of certainty
as to the outcome of conventional treatment that virtually screams for
more freedom of choice in the area of cancer therapy. Yet most alternative
therapies regardless of potential or proven benefit, are outlawed, which
forces patients to submit to the failures that we know don't work, because
there's no other choice."
"The only real defense against cancer is the immune system. Everyone
gets cancer every day but if the immune system is where it should be those
cancer cells are eliminated and we never know it. Once a person has developed
cancer, even though treatments get it into remission, it will recur again
unless the body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place
are corrected." Al Carter Alternative and Self-Help

The
Curse of Louis Pasteur Nancy Appleton, PhD
Could it be that we're looking in the wrong direction for the answer
to the cause of disease? Dr. Nancy Appleton's investigation led her to
Louis Pasteur's germ theory, and to the inevitable conclusion that this
theory has overpowered other ideas about the origins and development of
disease. Might disease be caused generally not by outside microscopic invaders,
as the germ theory states, hut by ourselves, in what we think, say, feel,
do, and eat? Let Dr. Appleton show you: (1) A scientific option to Louis
Pasteur's germ theory; (2) Why some people get sick and others do not;
(3) Why medicines heal some people and not others; (4) Why some people
get well without medicines and others do not get well with or without medicines;
(5) How your body can resist infectious and degenereative diseases; (6)
The true cause of disease, the true cause of healing; (7) Food plans and
ways to eat to enhance health and healing.
"Discovering this book was a great delight for me! It provides a
good beginning for enlightenment beyond the confines of modern medicine.
Its
data is both informative and practical. Appleton has taken extremely complex
subject matter and made it simple enough for any to understand. I have
studied extensively for over 20 years ALL of the material covered by this
book. There are no lies within its covers. Consequences today from Pasteur's
devious behavior and efforts in the previous century make Adolf Hitler
look like a Cub Scout by comparison!..."an amazon.com reviewer

For many of us it comes as as surprise to learn that bacteria are highly
intelligent and adaptable. We have been taught from birth that they are
pretty dumb and that, through the use of antibiotics, we are winning a
war against them, a war that will end all disease. In fact the opposite
is true. Bacteria show behavior that indicate intelligence and they are
acting together throughout the world to counter the antibiotics we have
invented to kill them off. Bacteria, it turns out, are inextricably intertwined
with the formation of the human species and the health of the Earth. One
to two pounds of our body weight are bacteria and over eons we have developed

Can Vaccines compromise
the immune System?
What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, 
congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.
