Immune System
What daily natural vitamin supplements help strengthen the immune system?
I was recently told by a doctor that I have a generally weak immune system… I have the immune system of an elementary school kid. 
I am eighteen years old and I oppose taking pharmaceutical drugs whenever possible so can anyone suggest natural supplements that would help prevent sickness and help strengthen my immune system?
There are several aspects to the immune system. 75% to 80% of your immunity comes from the intestinal flora. Most people in America have very poor intestinal flora. Building up these bacteria takes time and is very important part of making your immune system strong. Antibiotics destroy these bacteria and just one antibiotic pill kills most of them. A healthy person should have about 3 pounds of these bacteria in their gut. Eating lots of fermented foods and making fermented foods like homemade kefir from Raw Milk derived from grass feeding dairy cows is an excellent way to build those bacteria.
Generating a good supply of nucleotides in the peyer’s patches of your small intestine is another very important thing to do. Any infection, injury, etc. will use up these guys very fast and replacing these is easy to do with good supplementation.
AVOID ALL supplements that have Magnesium Stearate in them. This is an immune suppressant and is found in most pills you buy in stores. BAD NEWS garbage. AVOID all supplements or fortified foods that use Ascorbic Acid as vitamin C. Ascorbic acid that is called vitamin C by many is not really vitamin C, but a component of the true vitamin C complex. Vitamin C was discovered by the Nobel Prize laureate, Dr. Albert Szent-Georgi in 1937. As part of his research on vitamin C, he found that he could not cure scurvy with the isolated ascorbic acid as a single element.
The complete complex of vitamin C includes ascorbic acid and contains ascorbinogen, bioflavonoids, rutin, tyrosinase, Factor J, Factor K, and Factor P. In addition, mineral co-factors must be available in proper amounts. If any of these parts are missing, there is no vitamin C, no vitamin activity. When some of them are present, the body will draw on its own stores to make up the differences, so that the whole vitamin complex may be present. Provided that all other conditions and co-factors are present, the vitamin activity will take place. Ascorbic acid is described merely as the “antioxidant wrapper” portion of vitamin C; ascorbic acid protects the functional parts of the vitamin from rapid oxidation or breakdown.
Check your vitamin D3 level of your blood. It should be between 50 – 60 nanograms per deciliter. This will greatly Improve Your body’s ability to ward off diseases. Most Americans are severely deficient in this vitamin. Statistically, you will reduce your chances of getting cancer and the flu by 75% with adequate vitamin d3 in your blood.
Getting good sleep is very important. Reducing the sugar and carbs in your diet to 75 grams per day and increasing consumption of good fats is very important.
The most important thing is to make sure you are getting good minerals in your diet. This is extremely hard in the U.S. today due to poor agricultural farming techniques using chemical fertilizers and insecticides. This has literally destroyed the food supply and we have now lost 50% of the antioxidants in the last 25 years in our food supply.
Good luck to you
