How to strengthen your immune system!

Today we face many health challenges; among these are:

New and Emerging Diseases

Increasing Antibiotic Resistance

Return of Old Germs (Tuberculosis, etc.)

World Travel (leading to the rapid spread of new diseases),like H1N1 Flu, SARS

Multiple Areas of Stress

Aging Population

Because of this we are facing a major medical services crisis. Costs of medical care are skyrocketing, malpractice suites are driving doctors out of practice and by 202 it is projected that there will be a shortage of 200,000 doctors and 700,000 nurses in the United States alone. Under current US law Medicare’s hospital insurance trust fund, which pays for inpatient hospital care, will be exhausted in 2019, seven years earlier than previously forecast. The United States is not alone in this dilemma. Every country will be forced to face the problem of rising needs and expectations against a background of limited resources and the threat of limiting available health care. This gloomy reality is coldly put forth by David Dranove in his provocative book What’s Your Life Worth? Health Care Rationing…Who Lives? Who Dies? And Who Decides?

In this setting we will be forced to rethink our overall approach to health care. Since the 1940s, western health care has been operated under a dominant military/technologic crisis model in which the disease attacks a patient and the physician counterattacks the disease. The patient is the battlefield. Perhaps this is why even properly prescribed medications are rated as the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Interestingly studies have also shown that only 25 percent depend upon the body’s own response. Many Physicians have come to a position similar to the following, “As a practicing physician for over forty years, I hereby make an admission: Physicians do not cure patients. All a physician can do is to provide a good healing environment.” Where are we left turn? In a real sense we must return to where we began; we must return to our immune systems.

Drugs are placed between disease and predisease. Drugs replace or suppress a body function but do not strengthen a body function. Drugs may restore us to a state of predisease but not to a state of health. For example, a person with a weak immune system may use an antibiotic to replace their inadequate immune response but this does not make them any more capable of fending off the next exposure. There are times when drugs are immediately essential and in each case the reason can be found in a failure of the normal body functions. There is no such thing as a drug deficiency. Put another way, a headache is not a deficiency of Tylenol^®! On the other hand there are many deficiency diseases which, when the person is adequately supplemented, disappear completely and the person is able to regain full health and not just a weak, predisease status. What should be clear is that, contrary to our current use of drugs as a first option in fighting disease, drugs should be a last option.

Strengthening the body systems through intelligent dietary supplementation should be our first action to maintain and improve our health. One of the most important of our systems is the immune system. Our immune system is an intricate, interrelated defensive force made up of a trillion cells. Our health, quality of life, and indeed our very survival, depend on the effectiveness of our immune response. Our immune system protects us by recognizing germs and cancerous cells, reacting and destroying these intruders, and finally by remembering these pathogens and cancers as a defense against future invasions. In addressing the importance of the immune system Prof. Paul Ewald, the author of Plague Time:

The New Germ Theory of Disease, stated that if a person has the choice between all the drugs in the world and his immune system, he better keep his immune system.

Supplementation in support of our immune function is the single most important action we can take to protect our health and regain control of our health care because no other body system can function properly without a functioning immune system. Today many factors contribute to the general weakening of our body’s defenses. We will examine the nature of the innate and adaptive immune systems and consider the recent research on natural agents that can potentially save lives, thereby enabling us to make choices that can improve our health and protect us in an increasingly dangerous environment. This article will focus on those essential dietary components which have shown outstanding ability to strengthen and support the immune system. Primary among these supplements is Transfer Factor.
