Don't be one of the Millions that get the Flu this year
You can protect yourself naturally without harmful toxic
flu shots that can actually give you the FLU!!
Ever year the flu gets hits harder, in addition, the flu shots don't seem to stop this nasty virus due to different strains being introduced. Not every strain is covered. The strength of our immune system determines the state of our health. When it's compromised we become susceptible to catching a cold, or the flu. Therefore, maintaining a strong immune system is crucial  for helping us reduce the risk of coming down with a cold or the flu.
Our immune systems job is to recognize viruses, bacteria and other bugs and when possible, destroy them before they create an infection. The immune system has special cells known as white blood cells that patrol the body for invading germs.
Proteins in the form of antibodies help us identify and resist repeated infections. Normally after being exposed to a particular virus or bacteria, we become immune to them. This isn't true of certain viral strains, the cold or flu included.
Along with the antibodies, we also have a circulatory system especially for the immune cells, known as the lymph system. The fluid known as lymph is collected and rerouted through the body's lymph nodes. These pea-sized nodes may become enlarged when a person is fighting off an infection.
Doctors often recommend that their patients drink a lot of fluids to help keep the lymph moving freely. This allows the body to rid itself of unwanted waste materials, including the debris from destroyed viruses. 70 ounces of water or half your weight in ounces for children should be consumed on a daily basis.
Germs are ever present in our environment. They are in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the surfaces we touch. In fact, if our skin, throat, or other mucus membranes were cultured, most of us would be found to contain one type of germ or another.
At any given time 5-40% of us have pneumococcus bacteria in our nose or throat. Only the strength of our immune system keeps these germs from causing a problem.
This helps explain why some folks don't have a cold but several of their coworkers do. A healthy body keeps these germs from causing an infection.
Whether you are currently suffering from a cold or flu, or you want to avoid getting it, the supplements below can help.

Mushrooms Found to be Top Food Source of Potent Antioxidant, A Blend of 10 mushrooms known for their powerful medicinal properties and provides superior support for the most critical cells in your immune system. In addition to being a potent remedy for viral and bacterial infections, mushrooms are being studied agressively for cancer. A major new worldwide review of mushroom studies by Cancer Research UK reports that many mushrooms can stimulate immune functions. Its active chemical, lentinan, increases natural killer cells and lymphocytes to help fight infections and cancer, and it also has direct antiviral activity. In Japan, where many studies show that mushrooms have anti-cancer properties, lentinan is approved in cancer treatment. A recent study in Japan found that farmers who regularly ate mushrooms, primarily enoki, had a 40% lower death rate from cancer than those who ate few mushrooms. | |

Here is a list of immune zappers that can weaken the thymus gland
Sugar in any form: table sugar, honey, alcohol, even excess fruit juice (fructose) can suppress the immune system. Just one tablespoon of simple sugar results in a 50% reduction in white blood cell activity for up to five hours!
It's best to go easy on simple sugars, including alcohol. During periods when your under a great deal of stress (unfortunately when most folks crave sweets) try to avoid eating sugary foods; sweets, fruit juices, cookies, cakes, white bread, honey, etc. Extreme moderation is the key.
Stress in any form- mental, physical, emotional, and chemical stressors all cause a drop in immune function.During times of stress try to get more rest.
For those of you who are type A's allow yourself to take a day off. Take a long leisurely walk. Go to the movies, have a leisurely brunch, hang out with your family and play cards or simply spend the day with a good book.
Don't let anyone make you feel guilty (including yourself) about spending a day relaxing. It's hard to do for most of us, myself included, but spending day away from the go, go, go daily stress will allow your body to recharge itself.
When fighting off a cold or flu don't exercise. A short walk is fine but strenuous exercise is a stress, a good stress, but a stress never the less. Strenuous exercise should be avoided when you're immune system is low.
However, used as a preventative measure, walking is a potent immune booster. Walking fifty minutes three times a week increases T-cell activity.Studies show that daily brisk walking reduces the number of sick days by half.
For an extra immune booster get a massage once or twice a month. Massage therapy is a great way to relax, increase lymph flow and rid the body of toxic waste materials.
Dairy products should be avoided if you're experiencing any sinus, throat or chest congestion. Dairy products increase the body's mucous production. This leads to more congestion.
At the first sign of a sinus or respiratory infection, eliminate dairy products for several days and use A nasal rinse kit.Individuals with chronic sinus congestion or allergic rhinitis should use the rinse kit daily.
