02-24-20 Supercharge Your Immune System – Carolyn Dean MD ND
Your body is made up of an ecosystem similar to the Earth’s biological system of well-being and balance – a miraculous, complex system of intelligent factors all working cooperatively together to produce your wonderful body. Among your 30 million human cells live 39 trillion microbes – all of which have impeccably important jobs including the healthy bacteria and yeast that keep you alive and strong.
Your body is also designed with a wonderful system of defense – your immune system. Your body is defended at three different levels. The first line of defense are physical and chemical barriers like skin, hair and tears along with gastric juices, saliva and hyaluronic acid that defend your body when it first encounters an invader. Then we move on to the second line of defense made up of different types of cellular responses that destroy invaders in a non-specific way using fevers, inflammation, and direct one-on-one attacks to isolate and destroy the invader. Finally, if none of that works the body accelerates into the third line of defense where the body relies specifically on antigens to do its defending work. This is where the helper T-cells become activated and energy is born and used to defend and repair the body.
A nutrient sufficient body will have every asset required to work at all three levels of immunity in the body. End of problem. Beginning of solution.
Correcting nutrient deficiency is a process of incremental improvement and can be accomplished with the right protocol and lots of patience and self-love. It’s one that requires a daily investment but offers long-term gains and protections when to body needs it the most.
Eating fresh, whole food, breathing lots of fresh air and moving the body and lymph system daily all support optimal immune system function. In the last two or three decades the soil and environmental toxicity of our cities and farms are such that dietary supplementation is most likely required. Biologically accurate, whole food dietary supplements, organic herbs and homeopathy are excellent tools to bring your body back to biological and energetic homeostasis and fortification against invaders.
