Strengthening Your Immune System the Natural Way
Our immune system is the only natural defense mechanism we have, and if we do not boost and balance it, we can be in for a great deal of physical problems. Unfortunately, due to toxins in our environment, poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, unbalanced nutrient intake, and other factors, many of us are prone to develop autoimmune or immune system disorders. We may have weak or damaged immune systems and not even realize it until they materialize in the form of diseases and illness – ranging from asthma to allergies to severe problems such as cancerous invasion. In fact, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease reports that “between 25,000 and 50,000 people suffer from the most serious forms of immunodeficiency diseases in the United States, but experts believe that many more have milder disease that is not yet diagnosed.” What this means is that one out of every 600 people have some type of immunodeficiency.

In fact, medical doctors actually fear that “if antibiotic use is not curtailed, we may soon approach the day when untreatable infections are rampant.” And, we all know that antibiotics can cause short- and long-term side effects that are often worse for the conditions they are trying to treat.
