Building Natural Immunity.

[Guest guest]

Once the detoxification process is complete, it's time to beginrebuilding the immune system and minimizing chemical irritation.Following are recommendations from Haas:* A quality multiple vitamin with extra antioxidant nutrients todecrease the potential of free-radical toxicity.* Extra vitamin A for immune support and tissue protection.* Beta-carotene to re-duce the carcinogenicity of chemicals.* Vitamin C to protect cells and tissues against the effects of water-soluble chemicals such as carbon monoxide, metals such as cadmium,and metabolic by-products such as carcinogenic nitrosamines made fromnitrites.* Vitamin E and selenium (200 to 300 mcg) work together to protectcells from pollutants including ozone, nitrogen dioxide, nitrites andmetals such as lead, mercury, silver and cadmium.* Minerals, especially zinc, to help protect cells from toxins. Manydetoxifying enzymes require zinc to

work. When combined with copperand manganese, zinc also functions in the superoxide dismutasesystem, detoxifying the oxygen-free radicals thought to be generatedfrom ozone and smog. Calcium and magnesium also help neutralize somecolon toxins and decrease heavy-metal absorption from thegastrointestinal tract.* A B vitamin complex formula with sufficient thiamine, pantothenicacid and niacinamide along with lipoic acid to help protect the liverand mitigate the effects of radiation.* The sulfur-containing amino acid L-cysteine to help neutralizeheavy-metal toxins and toxic by-products of smoking, smog, alcoholand fats. L-cysteine helps produce glutathione, a tripeptideessential to several important enzymes, particularly glutathioneperoxidase.* Methionine, another sulfur-containing amino acid that, according toHaas, has mild detoxification and protective functions.* Insoluble fiber such as wheat

bran and soluble fiber such aspsyllium to reduce metal absorption.* Sodium alginate from seaweed to decrease heavy and radioactivemetal absorption.* Chlorophyll-containing algae such as chlorella and spirulina, for amild chelating effect.* Apple pectin to bind and clear intestinal metals and chemicaltoxins.* Alfalfa, rich in chlorophylls, along with vitamin K, to reducetissue damage from radiation exposure.Rountree also advocates a wide variety of immune-strengtheningsupplements. First on his list is an antioxidant formula consistingof a carotene complex; vitamin C (2 to 10 g/day); vitamin E; zinc;selenium; NAC (N-acetylcysteine) if glutathione levels are low; andbioflavonoids such as rutin, herperidin, quercitrin and naringin.If warranted, Rountree also uses other nutrients including lipoicacid; Co-Q10, a documented immune enhancer; adaptogens such asreishi, shiitake and maitake

mushrooms; green foods such as blue-green algae; and a variety of herbs including Siberian ginseng, toprotect the liver; astragalus, a powerful immunotonic; ginkgo, forasthma and other respiratory complaints; and suma, a South Americanherbal adaptogen.To defend against free-radical damage to cell walls, Anderson startshis patients on a regime that includes the antioxidant vitamins C, Eand beta-carotene, followed by the minerals manganese and copper. Healso recommends natural substances with chelating effects such asaduki beans, lentils and cilantro. After all, they (the pro-vaccine lobbyists) say to themselves, you can't make an omelette withoutbreaking eggs. But the eggs being broken are small, helpless, and innocent babies, while the omelette is being enjoyed by the pediatricians and vaccine manufacturers.
