Important Protection Against Cold & Flu

O those nasty colds and flu's during the winter months,  and how they often bring on the blahs.   This period of the New Year can be  stressful due to cold winds, wet weather and a lowered amount of sun light to penetrate our skin which  provides a wonderful vitamin called D3.

The Thymus gland  is very important for protection against foreign invaders - virus, bacteria, mold, and other pathogens which are air borne i.e coughing, sneezing, cuts to the skin, water, or food. These pathogins are always on the attack. The thymus gland produces a series of hormones which are classified as lymphocytes and are derived from the lymphocyte stem cells in our bone marrow. These special lymphocytes migrate through the blood stream to the liver, spleen and thymus gland. They produce special glycoproteins which attach themselves to cell walls of T-lymphocytes and create an aggressive white blood cell in the defense of our body.  One's immune system must have vitamins A, C, E, Selenium, Copper, and Zinc . Each mineral has very specific roles supporting not only our immunity but also our body's very important detoxification processes.

  Lowered levels of vitamin D3 can cause depression,  lack of energy and negative reaction by certain aspects of our B side immunity, which lowers production of hormones, especially from the thymus gland and thyroid gland.  The thyroid hormone thyroxine [T4],  in a cell is converted to T3, tri-iodthyronine have a secondary function in protection of the immune system.  In  this form  it is  responsible for our body's core temperature and respiration.  Actually, every cell in the trillions of cells throughout  our body requires T3 which is the active molecule the cell uses to  produce heat from a metabolic reaction within the mitochondria [the energy center within the cell]. It's easy to  see just how important a normal functioning thyroid is for normal health. 

 Along with glandulars and minerals, important  herbs such as echinacea and special proteins found in mothers milk called colostrum give a person complete protection during the stresses of the cold/ flu season.

Give a Boost to Your Immune System

Healthy living requires keeping the immune system strong.

Quality nutrients support the immune system: Beta -carotene is a natural epithelial cell builder, Vitamin C is a natural antibiotic, capillary wall builder, and infection fighter. Vitamins B1 and B2 aid in the energy cycle of eh body and are essential  for the digestive system, eyes, mouth, liver, energy and metabolism. Niacin plays a vital role in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and is important for tissue oxidation and circulation. Copper works with iron in the transformation into hemoglobin, and for elastin formation throughout the body. Zinc is essential for the synthesis of nucleic acids, wound healing, and for immune support. Echinecea is a known herb for immune support, as is Astragulus.  Both Broccoli and Mustard are natural vegetables/herbs containing alkaloids and their derivatives.

Lysine is an  essential amino acid necessary to maintain overall good health.  It is necessary for growth, tissue repair, and the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Lysine has been helpful with herpes simplex, influenza viruses, cold sores, and other fungal and bacterial infections.  Current research has shown Lysine suppresses the herpes virus by blocking and slowing down viral replication.

While there are many products on the market to naturally support the immune system when the onslaught of cold or flu comes on, or the beginning irritation of a cold sore, the one I have found most effective  is LYSINOL, a unique formula that does what no other formula is known to do. It is a perfect blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs, glandulars and amino acids to give your body the edge to prevent or lessen the symptoms of the cold or flu. It provides focused  supplementation to bolster immune system activity.
