 The Immune "Alliance"

Ever wondered why changes in the seasons lead to

increased colds and flu?

One of the main reasons may be due to the pituitary (a tee-tiny gland in the cranial cavity that directs hormone activity), thyroid and adrenal glands. These glands help the body adapt to the changes in temperature around us. They want to keep our core temperature at a constant 98.6 degrees.  When winter comes along this"thermostat" kicks in and releases gland stimulating hormones to speed up metabolism to keep the body temperature stable.

Weak pituitary, thyroid or adrenals may not respond effectively to the weather changes and what follows is toxic waste build up in tissues due to decreased elimination through the liver, kidneys, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes and vessels. When waste loaded lymph backs up, as well as having a sluggish bowel, we also are more prone to get the flu. 

Flu Symptoms - Your body's healing action!

Every symptom of the flu is really a symptom of detoxification.

• high fevers will burn waste and bacteria and remove these by means of sweating through the pores
• diarrhea will cause the bowels to dump
• vomiting and coughing up mucous are all cleansing actions

Immune system to the rescue! 

The human body does not have a single immune system... it is better described as an immune alliance among various systems and organs, which, when coordinated by the brain, respond appropriately to the presence of disease associated factors. 

The immune alliance is composed of the thymus, spleen, long bones for marrow-blood, stomach, intestinal flora, kidneys, and liver for detoxification and enzyme production.   

Therefore, to enhance the "immune system" the overall health of the whole body needs to be enhanced to resist disease.

There are many simple, yet effective steps to keep your "immune system" healthy, thereby greatly reducing your risks.  To find out what is uniquely best for you, you would greatly benefit by calling to schedule an appointment.

Those without hope need look no further than the Person of Jesus Christ, the Son of the One True God!
