If your immune system is slow, you'll have colds all the time. You'll also have mucus in the nose, without the cold. A runny sniffly nose (with or without actual infections or colds). You'll have swollen throat glands a lot of the time.
This might mean you're overloading on mucus producing foods and bacteria consider the sites where mucus is stored to be Acapulco. Or it could mean that your IMMUNE SYSTEM is deficient due to vitaminosis, fatigue, lack of oxygen. The solution is twofold: giving up all flour products as this is the super producer of MUCUS, GLUE in the body. That's burritos, noodles chips, pancakes, do-nuts. NEXT, take in live foods, green foods.
A perfect healthfood DIET would be one track, the first track but the second would be supplements that target the immune system and enhance its action.
In the viral enteritis cat plague period I've
just been in, I had to read up on the supplementation that my cats might
need, and I did it at WEB SITES intended for HUMANS, where the human immune
system is discussed. I found that some very inexpensive pills are req'd,
healthfood storse have them.....so that your body can make glutathione,
the magic healing amino acid. BUT get this, the precursors for glutathione
are in N-acetyl -cysteine. That's what you want to look for at the healthfood
store. I understand you don't take the glutathione, it gets made by body
if the precursors are there and it's in NAC. A product available with all
the factors is at IMMUNOFOOD.COM

New Study Shows Supplement Raises
Glutathione
Levels and Balances Immune System
Immune diseases such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
may have a natural
choice when it comes to restoring the balance
in their immune system.
Researchers from Germany and the US have found
that a daily dose of the
dietary supplement N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can
boost the natural
anti-oxidant system of the body, which is likely
to alleviate some of
the immunological and metabolic problems associated
with
immune-deficiencies.
Glutathione shortages are common in CFS patients.
The body carries many
anti-oxidant defense systems, but inside cells
a small protein called
glutathione is crucial. Glutathione is essential
for the function of
immune cells, which protect us from viral and
bacterial infections. In
people infected with certain immune deficiency
illnesses, glutathione
levels fall well below the normal levels in blood
and immune cells.
Restoring glutathione levels to those found in
healthy people is likely
to help immune deficient patients to fight viruses
and fend off other
diseases.
Two studies have recently been published with
research backing up the
claims that NAC helps fight disease, one in the
European Journal of
Clinical Investigation, from Stig Froland in
Oslo, Norway, and the other
by Leonore and Leonard Herzenberg, a husband
and wife team from
Stanford, California. The results of their work
showed that glutathione
levels could indeed be restored in AIDS patients
and that this may
improve the outlook for these patients. However,
these studies have
significant implications for possibly restoring
immune function in other
chronically ill patients.
Herzenberg and colleagues conducted a clinical
trial in which 31
HIV-infected patients were given daily doses
of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) —
a glutathione precursor — and 30 others were
given a benign sugar pill.
According to the study published in the October
1 issue of the European
Journal of Clinical Investigation, those taking
NAC had increased the
amount of glutathione in their bodies to near-normal
levels at the end
of the two-month trial.
“The importance here is that glutathione is a
central component of all
cells, and glutathione deficiency is associated
with poor prognosis in
many, many diseases,” said Herzenberg. “What
we’ve proven is that giving
people NAC replenishes the glutathione stores.”
The authors of the report concluded that “NAC
offers useful adjunct
therapy to increase protection against oxidative
stress, improve immune
system function and increase detoxification of
acetaminophen and other
drugs. These findings suggest NAC therapy could
be valuable in other
clinical situations in which there is GSH deficiency.”
This finding is important because another investigator,
Wulf Droge
recently reported in the Journal of Molecular
Medicine that
administration of NAC not only increases glutathione
but also improves
immune cell function. In particular the function
of a key component of
the immune system, the T-lymphocytes, improved
dramatically.
In the same issue of the European Journal of Clinical
Investigation a
study conducted by Stig Froland from Oslo, Norway,
demonstrated that the
amount of HIV virus in the blood decreases after
administration of (very
high doses of) NAC. While NAC will not cure AIDS,
it may alleviate some
of the immunological and metabolic problems associated
with HIV
infection.
“It is important to realize that these results
are the culmination of
over 10 years of research.” states Frank Staal,
an immunologist from
Rotterdam, The Netherlands, who worked in this
field for many years.
“The groups of Droge and Herzenberg were the
first to demonstrate that
glutathione is low in AIDS and that this defect
contributes to poor
immune cell function and therefore to HIV disease.
And now they have
shown that a simple drug can help restore glutathione
levels to almost
normal”. Talk to the owner, Charles Miller at
