MORE ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM PLUS GOOD NEWS!.....

I know, I know you've read enough about the immune system but I found a great site that explains it so well. I will try to condense it a bit for easier reading.

(1)Our first line of defence is in our mucus membranes~mucous membranes like your mouth, nose, throat and intestines, it's called secretory IgA (sIgA).

If a Pathogen gets past the (sIgA) it then has to deal with T-killer cells (CD8) and antibody-producing B cells, producing antibodies and fighting the attack of the invader.

Then we have something called
NK cells, or Natural Killer cells, get their name because they're like your immune system's secret police force.

They work a lot like your T and B killer cells, roaming your body looking for pathogen-infected cells. But when they find them, a process called apoptosis takes place. In essence...

The NK cell forces the infected cell to commit suicide!"


It's hard to believe that anyone could get sick isn't it?

Yet with our stress-ridden world filled with oxidents and free radicals that threaten; with it's liver overloading power to overwhelm us, It's nice to know that we can get something that will really help to boost our immune system. I used to get bronchitis every few weeks, long sleepless nights [fighting to breathe] making life miserable and healing time lengthened, I haven't had it for months now. Whether it was the cell power or not I don't care I found the winning combo, CellPower™

will help both the skin and the insides regain their normal pH.

Another great idea is coconut oil for weight maintenance or even losing weight and to balance the omega-3’s and omega-6’s, the essential fatty acids.

Mega is the most complete daily source of Omega-3/6/9 fatty acids for healthy skin, joints, hormonal balance and cardiovascular functions


Essential fatty acids,FLAX SEED OIL, and of course
THE FOUR ESSENTIAL MINERALS FOR HEALING, of special concern for diabetics:

SELENIUM,MAGNESIUM,CHROMIUM, and ZINC.

I'm down from 22 different kinds of supplements to just the above. And trust me I needed to take them all just to stay alive, now I worry so much less and if I miss some supplement for a time it's really no big deal.

Here's some good news amongst the plethora of bad news we always get....

As waistlines increase so does the spread of type 2 diabetes, but an Iranian study has shown that Silybum marianum (silymarin) -- an antioxidant extracted from milk thistle seeds -- can help treat the condition, and its flavolignans can also protect the liver.

Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics, a new study has found. The effect, which can be produced even by soaking a cinnamon stick your tea, could also benefit millions of non-diabetics who have blood sugar problem but are unaware of it.

I just add lots of it to my daily oatmeal, but you can buy the caps to take after each meal. Cinnamon in caps

In the ain't it de trufe department-The young mother skeptically examined a new educational toy. "Isn't it rather complicated for a small boy?" she asked the salesclerk. "It's designed to teach the child how to live in today's world, madam," the shop clerk replied. "Any way he tries to put it together is wrong."
