In order to create a strong and health immune system foundational health must be addressed. We want to give the body more of what it needs such as alkaline minerals, life promoting diet, sunshine exposure, vitamin D3, and a digestive system that functions properly.
The first step to setting the stage for keeping colds at bay is making sure you are feeding your system with sufficient amounts of alkaline minerals to bring the body’s pH into range. What is the body’s pH you ask? It’s simply a way of charting and discovering how acidic or alkaline one’s body is. When the body has an alkaline pH (sufficient alkaline mineral level in the tissue) the immune system is able to handle and fight off new bugs and germs that cause colds. Most Americans have a less than par diet that can lead to being over acidic which is a great place for bad bacteria, viruses and cancer to live and multiply. By raising your pH to an alkaline level, your body will be able to detoxify properly. Check out The First Step To Great Health! to understand more on how important alkaline minerals are for our daily living.
Another aspect of alkaline absorption is vitamin D. Media and society has projected and frightened us with the harmful effects of the sun within the last 60 years and in a result most people are now deficient in vitamin D. Because vitamin D is required for alkaline mineral absorption, many people have even lower mineral levels. Our D3 Serum, Quantum .5fl oz is a live source of vitamin D with over 2000 units of vitamin D per drop. Also it has been proven that Vitamin D3 is utterly essential for immune function.
Vitamin D3 can modify proteins for optimal immunity as well as up-regulating anti-microbial peptides (which are the body's own broad-spectrum natural antibiotics) that have the capacity to destroy cell walls of bacteria, viruses etc.
We are not what we eat but what we DIGEST! Another aspect that should be taken into consideration as a daily maintenance is digestion. Most people are not eating enough raw vegetables; eat too much processed foods and intake above and beyond the daily suggestion for sugars and poor quality salts. This in turn, ends up in bloating, acid reflux and other imbalances in the belly. While paying more attention to what you eat and how you eat, is a great place to start, for many is not enough. To recuperate a dysfunctional and depleted system, many people need our digestive aids. The juices in our stomach are first line of defense for microbe exposure. When the digestion is poor there can be a build-up of toxins and bad bacteria that further weaken the system. Getting your digestion on track can make the entire body more efficient with its energy allowing more focus on fighting off invaders. When the body’s ability to process food is increased cellular detoxification is possible, and infection is eradicated. Boosting your digestion also helps the absorption of nutrition when eating good food and increases the beneficial effect of the food. Due to different conditions, the body’s need for Hydrochloric Acid is essential and not always provided by the body alone. Look into The 2nd Step to Quality Health! to improve your digestion and learn more on how important Hydrochloric Acid is to digestion.
Often when people suffer from chronic colds it’s often connected to an infection in the liver/gallbladder or colon as well as a nutritional deficiency, weak kidneys or an acidic PH. Building the immune system can dramatically increase the strength of one’s ability to fight off the common cold.
Located in the center of the ribcage, the Thymus gland is a key player to the immune system. The Thymus produces the body’s T-lumphocytes also known as T-cells, which are crucial for the immune system and healthy living. When the Thymus is weakened the body cannot fight off new and adaptive germs and viruses, resulting in chronic colds.
If infection is present, a personalized recommendation is highly advised. The exact remedy, dosage and length of treatment cannot be guessed as well as tested for. As there are usually many life cycles to most infections it is important to treat the infection properly to completely eradicate it from the system.

The liver is a vital organ which plays a major role in optimal health and has literally hundreds of functions in the body including detoxification, hormone production, protein synthesis, digestion of fats and much more. It produces bile which is an alkaline compound that aids in digestion via emulsifying (dispersing, breaking down) lipids.
The Gallbladder is an organ that aids in the digestive process and stores bile produced in the liver. The adult human gallbladder stores about 50 millilitres (1.7 US fl oz) of bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the intestines from the stomach. After being stored in the gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it leaves the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats. Benefits to cleansing the gallbladder and liver include superior fat metabolism, proper digestion, weight loss and increased energy which all play into a strong and healthy immune system. Gallstones can be created by rancid and cooked oils, meat, sugar and other highly processed foods; can cause pain and discomfort typically on the right side of the abdomen. The Gall Bladder Flush Kit: Flush out gall stones! that we have put together is highly effective, easy and inexpensive compared to removing the gallbladder, which is what most westernized doctors recommend.
Be conscious about what you are feeding for body, especially when getting sick. Stay away from refined and processed foods, sugar, meats and hydrogenated oils. Providing the body with high amounts of raw nutrition will be the most effective in healing from a cold. The less processed foods and hard to digest items you consume the more power your body has to fight off the cold. Greens such as kale, chard, collards, and colorful leafy lettuce are tremendously high in alkaline minerals and can be processed by most people very easily.
