 That means the gel helps boosts immune system function while destroying cancer tumors. One study published in International Immunopharmacology (1995) showed that aloe vera polysaccharides exhibited potent macrophage-activating activities including producing increased volumes of nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).

| What's more, many chronic conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, neurological damage, and abnormal immune system function have been linked to organo-chlorine exposure.
*J DOCTOR'S NOTE:....................................................................................................................................
Published U.S. Government studies on the connection between pesticides and cancer have led researchers to investigate the specific connection between organochlorines and colon cancer.
Had enough red flags by now? Well, let's talk about some solutions to these concerns. |

 That's why I've written Beat The Bird Flu Virus, which shows you how to boost your immune system function and save your life without needing to depend on politicians, bureaucrats, drug companies and infectious disease experts to save your life for you. If you are silly enough to keep compromising your immune system by following an unhealthy lifestyle, then you may very well pay the ultimate price when this flu pandemic strikes. By the time it hits, it will be too late for you to recover your innate immune system function. |

 It is needed for good immune system function and for the liver's ability to get rid of toxic substances.
Food sources of iron include liver, organ meats, fish, poultry, dried beans, vegetables, and whole grains. Consult with your doctor if you have iron-deficiency symptoms; he or she may recommend a higher dose. If you are male or a postmenopausal woman and have risk factors for heart disease (or you know you have heart disease), you should avoid iron supplements unless you test out to be deficient; confer with your doctor on this, too.
Caution: Keep all iron supplements away from children. |
| For example, a vitamin C label can read, "Helps promote better immune system function," but it can't say, "Shortens the number of days you suffer from a cold." This is why books like this one are such important sources of information for consumers who want to use supplements safely and effectively.
When shopping for herbs, look for a version that is standardized. This means that it contains a specific amount of one main ingredient—the one determined by science to be the "active" ingredient. |

 They can't tell you what they really do, so they have to speak in code, saying, "It enhances immune system function." So you might find a product with reishi mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms, for example, and it says, "Enhances healthy immune system function." What does that really mean? In reality, it means it helps halt the growth of cancer tumors. It even helps reverse advanced stage cancers. If you know how to use reishi mushrooms, and you're working with a naturopath, then you can potentially reverse advanced stages of cancer. It's being done all over the country today. |

 The best way to protect children from infectious disease is not to inject them with chemicals, but to boost their immune system function with healing foods that are rich in phytonutrients. Changing the diets of children will save an enormous number of lives and protect those children from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, asthma and numerous other diseases. Children don't need MORE chemicals in their bodies, they need honest, wholesome food and healing, plant-based medicines that protect them from chemicals and other environmental threats! |

 Zinc is also required for proper immune system function, as well as for the maintenance of vision, taste, and smell. Zinc consumption is also strongly linked to a reduction of prostate cancer.
Foods rich in zinc include fresh oysters, pumpkin seeds, ginger, pecans, Brazil nuts, oats, and eggs. Zinc can be purchased in supplement form, in both liquid concentrates and tablets.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Dry, inflamed skin or skin that suffers from the frequent appearance of whiteheads or blackheads can benefit from supplementing with essential fatty acids (EFAs), especially omega-3s. |

 BECOMING "IMMUNE TO AGING"
The overall health-promoting effect of polyphenols may account for green tea's role in promoting longevity, particularly since these polyphenols help the immune system function more effectively. Infectious diseases are not a concern of the past. Although vaccines, antibiotics, and other infection-fighting medications have been developed, infections continue to plague mankind. Health agencies warn that death from infectious diseases rose 58 percent between 1980 and 1992. |

 That's right – practically everything you've been told could be a part of a healthy, balanced diet is, in fact, a food that causes disease and suppresses immune system function.
Foods like pizza and hamburgers are highly immunosuppressive. Anything that's fried is extremely toxic to the human body, and it affects not only your immune system function, but also your cardiovascular health. |

 More specific to biology and anatomy, Peter's matching experiments showed that the Big Field is linked to immune system function via yellow bone marrow. There are two kinds of bone marrow, red and yellow. Yellow marrow develops in the long bones of the body, especially the arm and leg bones. Although we have mostly red marrow when we are young, yellow marrow increases as we age, filling our bone cavities with fatty tissue. |

| These hormones also modulate immune system function.
These three sex hormones interact with the neuroendocrine system, particularly the HPA axis. As such, they have an effect on the stress response. The interaction works both ways; the HPA affects sex hormones, and sex hormones affect the HPA.
There are many factors that influence the regulation of sex hormones. We know that as we age, there is a decrease in sex hormones. We also know that extreme stress can cause an antifertility effect and may reduce the estrogen levels in females and the sperm count in men. |
| This ability to normalize immune function means that this herb can be used to enhance depleted immune system function in cases of cancer, chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome, and autoimmune disease. It also can be used to reduce excessive immune response in allergies and some autoimmune conditions as well. (Autoimmune illnesses often produce systemic immune depletion and excess immune response to a specific tissue at the same time. |
| Safety Issues: Excessive amounts of cordyceps can depress immune system function as well as cause edema, anxiety, and headaches.
Many mycologists (scientists who study fungi) have concerns about consuming whole cordyceps mushrooms imported from Asia. In the natural wild form, cordyceps grows on caterpillars. It is possible that contaminant organisms (mold and bacteria) may be associated with this product. Cordyceps also is cultivated, and the mycelia are grown on grains (primarily rice and soybeans). We believe that this is a safer way to take this mushroom. |

 Fortunately, there are many products to help boost immune system function. But remember: Even with the help of these products, proper immune system function requires greatly reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals and non-natural substances, as well as following the 3 principles of health discussed in the first half of this chapter. |

 One study showed an increase in immune system function during a drumming and storytelling ritual. In this study, 111 healthy volunteers were exposed to an hour-long ritual, much like the kind of communal experience our ancient ancestors might have enjoyed around the campfire. The improvement in immune function after the drumming and storytelling ceremony was demonstrated by increased activity in helper T-cells. In addition, levels of the healthy hormone DHEA increased, while the stress hormone Cortisol dropped. |

| The activation of genes is intimately connected with healing and immune system function. In the studies of wound healing and marital conflict outlined above, a clear link is seen between the consciousness of the participants in the study, and the creation of the proteins (coded by gene activation) required to promote wound healing and stem cell conversion in their bodies. The healthy mental states of functional couples enabled the individuals in these relationships to emit the signals required to turn on the expression of the genes involved in immune system health and physical wound healing. |

| Astragalus enhances immune system function and helps prevent colds, influenza, bronchitis, mononucleosis, pneumonia, infection by the coxsackie B virus (the major cause of myocarditis), and other forms of external evil. It also helps prevent immunosuppression caused by chemotherapy and has tumor-inhibiting activity. In Chinese studies, astragalus combined with ligusticum fruit increased survival times in patients with breast and non-small-cell lung cancers.
More recently, this herb has been used to improve cardiac blood flow. |

 Because, there's a whole field known as psychoneuroimmunology that looks at the links between brain chemistry and immune system function, and it turns out when you have a healthy, active brain, you have a much more active immune system. That can extend your life, so working to boost your brain function can have side effects that directly enhance the health of your body and your ability to fight off chronic disease. Boosting brain function literally helps you live longer.

 But even more interesting, when human beings consume these fruits and vegetables, they receive additional health benefits, such as enhanced immune system function, that would not be available if they were eating plants that were not treated with sea kelp. Sea kelp is something that's quite inexpensive to use, and it seems to offer tremendous benefits to the home gardener. |

| They stopped engaging their brain, their immune system function suffered and they succumbed to some sort of chronic disease like cancer. This is all initiated by their loss of brain exercise.
Brain exercise can have a huge impact on your longevity, and it's perhaps one of the best anti-aging strategies you can pursue. Now, you'll notice all these strategies I've mentioned here are based on transforming yourself from the inside, not changing your external appearance. There's a great tendency in our society today to focus on the external appearance. |
