"There is no chance for good health or the elimination of disease unless the immune system is optimized."

General Recommendations:

Too many people think of the immune system as something existing in isolation. That's a huge mistake. Let's take a quick walk through the Baseline of Health program and see how each system impacts the entire body.

• How god can your immune system be (taking all the supplements in the world that you want) if your colon is packed with 20 pounds of old fecal matter? A substantial portion of your immune system then has to combat the effects of self-toxicity. Clean up your intestinal tract, and you free up your immune system.
• Beneficial bacteria )if they're present) manufacture potent immune boosters such as Transfer Factor and Lactoferrin right in your intestinal tract. In other words, use a good probiotic and you substantially boost your immune system by increasing internal production of a number of powerful immune factors.
• As discussed in Chapter 5, supplementing with digestive enzymes significantly reduces the incidence of Circulating Immune Complexes, thus taking enormous stress off the complementary immune system.
• Proper diet and nourishment boost your immune system. Each and every immune cell in you body is manufactured from the food you eat. A nutritionally deficient diet means functionally deficient immune cells. A goo vitamin/mineral supplement enhances the production of your body's immune cells
• The Omega-9+ fatty acids an immune system modulator that helps to keep the immune system properly programmed so it doesn't attack itself.
• A good full spectrum antioxidant boosts the immune system in multiple ways. Just one example is Curcumin. In Immunological Investigations, 1999, Vol. 28, Issues 5-6, pp291-303, there are published studies that prove that Curcumin can increase white blood cell count by some 50% in just 12 days - not to mention circulation antibodies by some 512 in the same time frame.
• Cleaning out the liver with an effective flush and rebuild program improves the liver's ability to produce immune factors and remove bacteria from the blood. Cleaning out the blood with an herbal blood cleanser and balancing your blood's pH also helps to improve immune function.
• And of course, daily use of formulations comprised of the herbs discussed in this chapter has been proven to significantly enhance the immune system across the board - even in the face of aggressive chemotherapy.

• Immune Boosters: Enchinacae, Pau d'aco, Suma, Reishi, Maitake, Coryceps (below)
• Pathogen Destroyers: Garlic, Onion, Ginger, Habenero juice, Horseradish, Apple cider vinegar

• The mental exercise and visualizations outlined in the next chapter can double immune function in as little as 24 hours. In addition, the use of an herbal nerve tonic can dramatically reduce stress level in the body, resulting in a dramatic increase in immune function - virtually overnight.
• And keep in mind that the primary entry point for most pathogens is via the eyes, nose, and mouth through contact with the hands. Keep in mind that the hands pick up potential threats by virtue of contact with other people (shaking hands, for example) and through contact with objects such as doorknobs and telephones. Regular washing of the hands throughout the day (even with regular soap) can serve to take a considerable amount of stress off of the immune system.
• And finally, one of the primarily benefits of regular exercise is an optimized immune system.

The bottom line is that the Baseline of Health program is designed to enhance the immune system at every level and system in the body (and in a way that doesn't require you to take 100 supplements to get a results - just deal with the major systems in the body).
