4 Tips on How to Boost Immune System

October 10th, 2009 by Mary | No Comments | Filed in Immune System Support

As the autumn cold temperatures set in runny noses and sniffles start to seem like an epidemic. Here are 5 simple ways to boost your immune system so you won’t get sick:

  1. Centrum Centrum Multivitamin 325 tabsStock up on raw fruits and vegetables for their vitamins, minerals, fibre and enzymes and take a multivitamin like Centrum Multivitamin 325tabs
  2. Eat plenty of protein. Protein is a building block for immune system. Diets low in protein tend to be high in carbs which convert to glucose, spiking blood sugar and stressing the pancreas and the immune system.
  3. Add antioxidants to your diet. Antioxidants protect cells, including those of your immune system, from damage by toxins from the environment. Dark-coloured produce (berries, kale, broccoli) tends to be higher in flavonoids, polyphenols and other antioxidants.
  4. Give your body an herbal boost. Hundreds of herbal supplements exist to give the immune system additional support during the winter. I recommend Nature’s Way System Well Ultimate Immunity 180 tabs

What is Mercury Toxicity?

September 20th, 2009 by Mary | No Comments | Filed in Immune System Support

Mercury is found in fish from contaminated salt water, in cosmetics, fluorescent lights, thermometers, barometers, pesticides and some hair dyes. mercury is used in dentistry. The ‘silver’ filings made to  50% of mercury. Mercury vapors escape from the fillings every time the food is chewed.

Symptoms of mercury toxicity include loss of taste and smell, a metallic taste in the mouth, asthma, rashes, constipation, ulcers, bloating, gas and frequent night urination.heavy.metal.detox

Heavy metal overload in the body can often be detected through hair analysis. But, without a doubt you know that in the modern world your body stores heavy metals like mercury everyday. So, it is natural to perform heavy metal detox at least once a year.

The product, which you see on the right, I have tried and I think it works. Toxguard™ Heavy Metal Detox is specifically designed to tightly bind heavy metals and increase their clearance from the body.

Mercury toxicity can negatively affect digestion. When mercury gets into the bile, it make the bile become more alkaline, providing a favorable environment for parasites. These parasites can block the hepatic or bile duct so that necessary digestive and other enzymes from the gallbladder, liver and pancreas are not released. With a blocked gallbladder, oils are not absorbed. This lowers hormone production, which impairs lymph cleansing. In addition, oil deficiency encourages the body to absorb toxins. Mercury interferes with the entry of nutrients into the cells and removal of wastes from them. It binds with the immune cells and destroys them. Think about it and start detoxing.

Stay healthy,

Mary
