HEALTHY:How to boost your immune system

And prevent and speed recovery from illness – My favorite herbal immune boosting system.
Many of you who have been patients at Ellis chiropractic for years know I have used an echinacea product called Esperitox to shorten illness and it has worked well. I still carry Esperitox, but for the past number of years I have been using 3 products I believe are far superior. I believe the system I use from Standard Process not only stimulates a heightened immune response, but they create a strong foundation by truly supporting the organs that produce our immune system in the first place – the Thymus, bone marrow and spleen. There are 3 steps to this system.
Doing just one of these steps is very helpful, but all 3 combined is synergistic. I will list them in order.

Multiple studies of the diets of large jungle cats in zoos have discovered that feeding them only meat resulted in sick unhealthy lions, tigers and leopards. When they gave the cats the full carcasses that included bones and organs, the cats recovered and were far healthier. This will make sense after you are done reading this article.

Two of the main components of our immune system are the lymphocytes; T cells and B cells, which are types of white blood cells. T and B cells are born in the bone marrow and T cells migrate to the Thymus where they differentiate into “killer T cells” and Helper T cells and others, each with a different job in fighting off illness. The B cells make antibodies. The T and B cells then migrate to the lymphatic system and spleen where they wait until they are called into action to fight virus, bacteria and even cancer cells.

To truly support the immune system, these organs must be strengthened.

1.) IMMUPLEX. This is used to produce a strong healthy immune system even before feeling oncoming cold or flu symptoms. It contains veal bone, bovine thymus and spleen and cytosol extracts from cells and the genetic material of the glands themselves. Immuplex also contains whole food plant materials that are most concentrated with the vitamins and minerals most needed by the body to support these organs. These plants are harvested from the organic, and regenerative farms owned by Standard Process.
Most people can take 2 tablets a day during the fall and winter months. Those who are immunocompromised could take 4/ day and may wish to take them all year long. Many people simply switch their multiple vitamin for immuplex during the winter months.

2.) CONGAPLEX This is to be taken at the first signs of an oncoming illness. Taking 1-2 tablets every hour up to 12 tablets each day can dramatically reduce the severity and length of time of the illness.
Congaplex has even more thymus cytosol and other nutrients intended to stimulate the immune system into action now.
After feeling better, you may reduce congaplex to just 4 per day until the bottle of 90 tablets is gone to keep the virus from creeping back.

3.) ANDROGRAPHIS COMPLEX Contains the “hero” herb Andrographis that activates memory B and T cells, calling them into action. It also contains Echinacea that stimulates the release of Phagocytes, the ““big eaters of viral and bacterial infected cells. It also contains Holy Basil an herb known for supporting the respiratory system.

4.) If you are a big fan of echinacea, Standard Process has a fantastic one called Echinacea premium. If you want to know if your echinacea is good it has to tingle. If it doesn’t tingle, it was garbage echinacea. Standard process uses medi herb from Australia for their herbs. Mediherb searches the world for the best herbs. The best Tumeric comes from India, the best echinacea comes from South and North Dakota.
