To remain happy and healthy, you must have a strong immune
system. The immune system protects us from getting infections
and diseases such as cancer. It is the system that helps keep us
healthy. The immune system is simply defined as a complex system
responsible for identifying and protecting us from infections and
foreign substances. The immune system seeks and kills anything
invading the body. By having a strong and healthy immune system,
you can prevent the onset of various forms of cancer.
Man used to be the hopeless victim of his circumstances. When
Louis Pasteur discovered that bacteria caused diseases and that
chemicals could kill bacteria, modern medicine was born. Since
then, we have struggled to develop chemicals to enhance our
health and fight bacteria-causing disease.
We live in an ocean of bacteria and viruses. Yet, these
microorganisms do not cause diseases; we become infected by
diseases when we have weakened and inefficient immune systems.
We see the evidence of this truth constantly around us. One
person in an office gets a very bad cold. The person sitting
next to him doesn't get a sniffle. Certainly both were exposed
to the same microorganisms. What is the difference? It lies in
their immune systems. That's why we get a flu shot, to build up
our immune system against the infection. The immune system
destroys cells foreign to the body.
The alternative treatment of cancer has a popular expression that
says: "All cancer is the result of an immune system that did not
destroy the mutant cells." Obviously, the cancer cells are
foreign to the body. The immune system of a healthy person can
destroy 10,000 mutated (cancer) cells each day. When this defense
mechanism fails, cancer cells can multiply and become a clinical
case of cancer.
When a person has a strong, healthy immune system, they can
either prevent cancer from occurring or slow down its rate of
growth. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, taking vitamins
and herbs, drinking plenty of water and exercising daily can
boost the immune system, and in the long run, may prevent or slow
down cancer. Nobel prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling noted in his
recent book Vitamin C -- The Common Cold and Flu, that autopsies
performed on people who had never suffered from any form of
cancer, revealed evidence that they had as many as three cases of
different cancers during their life spans and never knew anything
about it. He credited a strong, healthy immune system for
automatically dealing with all of the diseases -- an observation
that underlines the importance of the immune system in
eradicating cancer and other diseases.
In conclusion, there is a direct connection between having a
strong, healthy immune system and preventing or controlling
cancer. The immune system can be strengthened by daily exercise,
eating healthy foods, and taking herbs and vitamins.
Immunitril(tm) is the most complete immunity support formula
available today. This revolutionary complex is a unique
combination of herbs, extracts, minerals and anti-oxidant
vitamins, providing maximum support for immune system function.
This is just one more reason why every individual should strive
to build up a strong immune system.
