The Immune System    Nature has many “immune boosters” -  foods and nutrients that help support    the immune system. First, it is very important to STOP putting poisons into     your body and to work on getting the poisons in your body out!    Avoiding dairy products can be helpful.  Dairy can create a mucous environment    that can be a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.    Drink lots of water with lemon to keep your liver clean. In addition, you can get    herbal support from garlic, astragalus, elderberry, echinacea, goldenseal, etc.    If you have been on antibiotics, you must restore your colony of friendly bacteria    with an acidophilus supplement. Zinc lozenges help to stop bacteria from entering    your body. A product called Oscillococcinum is very helpful when used at the first    signs of flu.    Colostrum, the first mother’s milk taken from organically-raised dairy cows, has    been extremely helpful, even against nasty bacteria, such as MRSA. For a severely    compromised immune system, I suggest Thymuplex by Enzymatic Therapy. I have    never known it to fail to help rebuild a weakened immune system.
