How To Strengthen Your Immune System

Immune System Strengthening

Know the Facts:

1. Germs DON’T CAUSE DIS-EASE a weakened immune system is the source
2. Antibiotics are NEVER effective on viruses and always weaken your immune
   system long term and increase your risk of cancer... FACT!!!
3. Once exposed to a virus “naturally” you have LIFETIME immunity
4. Auto Immune Diseases are directly linked to Vaccinations.
5. Antibiotic Should NEVER be given without a culture and a sensitivity test and
   those take 48 hours (if a Doctor prescribes an antibiotic without those tests Fire the Doctor)

How does your Body Fight a Cold/Flu!

1. Body develops a fever….. Viruses and Bacteria Die at High temperatures
2. Mucus membranes swell…. Walling off the pathogens allowing the bodies
   immune system response.
3. Histamines released ….. This stimulates T-cell production
4. Bronchus swell and inflame ….. Further destroying the pathogens
5. Diarrhea results …. Rushing the pathogens out of your system
   Essential Treatments for a Cold/Flu.

Get your spine Checked — your nervous system controls your bodies immune
system response

Fever—fully hydrate the body and allow the body to build the fever, only reduce
the fever when the patient perspires and reduce it by a tepid sponge bath.

Mucous membrane swelling— increase the swelling by a steam bath.

Histamines released— eliminate bread, pasta’s, grains, cereals, potatoes and
simple sugars. Viruses and bacteria feed on sugars

Bronchus swell and inflame — Steam therapy

Diarrhea — replace fluids and electro-lights

Hot Bath with Epson salts — This will relieve the aches that are common from
your bodies destruction of the pathogens

What you can do for the symptoms!

Cough - Two types: Productive, Non-productive. Both types of coughs can be treated with a
steam humidifier and gentle taps with a cupped hand on the back will usually quiet both types of
cough. If a medication is used, give an expectorant for a productive cough and a suppressant
for a non-productive cough. An excellent herb that suppresses a non-productive cough and
makes a productive cough more efficient is Pleurisy root.

Diarrhea/vomiting - Make sure this symptom doesn’t last longer than 3 days. This may
cause a loss of electrolytes and a loss of fluid. Treat with coconut water, smaller meals, and
increased fluid. If the patient is an infant treat with Pedialite.

Fever - There are thousands of different types of bacteria, and not all bacteria are affected by
every antibiotic. Most bacteria and viruses die at a high temperature. So, for best results treat the
fever like the body’s natural response to an infection. Monitor the fever, and if the temperature is
over 103 degrees fahrenheit, or if the patient is uncomfortable you may need to decrease the
fever with a sponge bath with room temperature water. Cool off the wrists, neck, chest and
ankles with a tepid sponge bath.

Stuffy Nose or Sinus problems-
The sensitivity of the sinuses is controlled by the nervous system. The nerves for the sinuses
originate from the top of the neck, the upper neck area must be checked for pressure on the
nerves. For a quick relief of a stuffy nose or sinus problems, take a very hot bath or shower and
breath the steam in through your nose and out through your mouth. This puts moist heat to
your sinuses and both bacteria and viruses are killed by an increase in temperature!!

Antibiotics- Antibiotics are NOT effective against viral infections. There are thousands of
different types of bacteria, and not all bacteria are affected by every antibiotic. To find out the
specific type of bacteria involved, you must get a sample and grow a culture. Cultures take 24
to 72 hours to identify the type of bacteria. By that time, your body is usually producing it’s
own specific antibiotic.

Precautions:
Don’t-Give Tylenol or other fever-reducing medication at the first sign of a temperature. This
stops your body’s natural first defense!!

Don’t- Ever give aspirin to a child with a fever, they may develop “Reyes syndrome.”

Our environment that we are designed to survive and thrive in is full of bacteria and viruses.
Viruses and bacteria are a vital part of our natural environment. In fact, we would not be
able to survive without bacteria.

Once your body’s immune system has been exposed to a virus, you develop a permanent
defense to that particular “bug” or virus.

Exposure is inevitable to the common cold virus, and your body is designed to mount its
own defense. A healthy body exposed to a virus will eliminate the virus within 48-72 hours.
It is precise because HIV tests are antibody tests, that they produce so many false positive
results. All antibodies tend to cross-react. We produce antibodies all the time, in
response to stress, malnutrition, illness, drug use, vaccination, foods we eat, a cut, a
cold, even pregnancy. These antibodies are known to make HIV tests come up as
positive.

In 1985, at the beginning of HIV testing, it was known that "68% to 89% of all
repeatedly reactive ELISA (HIV antibody) tests [were] likely to represent false positive
results." (NEJM - New England Journal of Medicine. 312; 1985).

In 1992, the Lancet reported that for 66 true positives, there were 30,000 false positives.
And in pregnant women, "there were 8,000 false positives for 6 confirmations." (Lancet.
339; 1992)

In September 2000, the Archives of Family Medicine stated that the more women we
test, the greater "the proportion of false-positive and ambiguous (indeterminate) test
results." (Archives of Family Medicine. Sept/Oct. 2000).

The medical literature lists dozens of reasons for positive HIV test results: "transfusions,
transplantation, or pregnancy, autoimmune disorders, malignancies, alcoholic liver
disease, or for reasons that are unclear..."(Archives of Family Medicine. Sept/Oct.
2000).

"Human or technical errors, other viruses, and vaccines" (Infectious Disease Clinician of
North America. 7; 1993)
The same is true for the confirmatory test the Western Blot.
Causes of indeterminate Western Blots include: "lymphoma, multiple sclerosis, injection
drug use, liver disease, or autoimmune disorders. Also, there appear to be healthy
individuals with antibodies that cross-react...." (Archives of Internal Medicine. August.
2000).
"The Western Blot is not used as a screening tool because...it yields an unacceptably
high percentage of indeterminate results." (Archives of Family Medicine. Sept/Oct

Pregnancy is consistently listed as a cause of positive test results, even by the test
manufacturers. "[False positives can be caused by] prior pregnancy, blood transfusions...
and other potential nonspecific reactions." (Vironostika HIV Test, 2003).
This is significant in Africa, because HIV estimates for African nations are drawn almost
exclusively from testing done on groups of pregnant women.
