How to Jumpstart Your Body's Immune System
Illness comes on fast. The sooner you notice that you're coming down with something, the more likely you are to get ahead of the problem and initiate a fast recovery.
1
Check your stress level. Bad news or emotional distress is probably the biggest enemy, but all disease results from one of two things: pollutants or parasites. The only problem is that both are present all around us all the time. The right level of stress will drop your immune system to nothing in seconds, especially if more than one stressful circumstance is present. For example, you get chilled, stressing your body, and at the same time you get pulled over by a policeman. An experience like this is almost certain to result in a bad cold.
2
Recognize that you are vulnerable. Being around someone who is sick can really make you think you're going to be sick. You can think yourself sick. But you can also pick up a parasitic virus from a sick person.
3
Purchase a good formula from a natural foods vendor (not a grocery store or pharmacy) that contains 25,000 IUs (international units) of vitamin A, preferably beta carotene. Swallow 4 capsules (100,000 IUs, which is a good therapeutic dosage) with about 6 ounces of good water. Repeat every 6 to 10 hours for up to 3 days.
Tips & Warnings
Be very careful about taking fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A on a regular basis, and if you do, make sure the amount you use if safe.
