Did you know that inside this incredible body we have — is an amazing protection system which we call “the immune system?”

The immune system may be called “the body’s defense
against infectious organisms and other invaders!”

The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, is therefore designed to bring defence against millions of bacteria, toxins, microbes, parasites and viruses that have one sole purpose and mission: overcome your body!

Our immune system is incredibly effective. It is the fruits of an intelligently created system. Yet the power of your immune system is best understood when it actually ceases from functioning!

Once any living organism dies – the immune system ceases to function of course. In a matter of hours the body is invaded by bacteria, parasites, microbes, etc. With the immune system shut down — the door is now wide open and…

only a few short weeks later, these organisms completely dismantle the body — taking away all that surrounds the skeleton.

Your immune system is like a silent, hidden mighty turbine that works for you constantly 24/7 in thousands of different ways — doing it’s work largely unnoticed. But this changes when our immune system fails for some reason. Or when it produces some kind of visible side effect.

Did you know that each day you actually inhale thousands of germs ie bacteria and viruses that float about waiting to be hosted, in our atmosphere? Your immune system deals with all of them without a problem. Occasionally a germ is able to bypass the immune system and you catch a cold, get the flu or worse.

Your skin is also an important part of your immune system. It functions as a front-line  boundary between germs and your body. Skin is a defence to bacteria and viruses, and secretes antibacterial defences that kill germs stone dead.

The other components that make up your amazing immune system that are working hard for you every day are:

• White blood cells
• Spleen
• Hormones
• Bone marrow
• Thymus
• Antibodies
• Complement system
• The lymph system

A cold or flu is a visible sign that your immune system failed to stop the invading germ. The fact that you get over the cold or flu is a visible sign that your immune system was able to eliminate the invader after identifying and confronting it.

If your immune system did nothing, you would never get over a cold or anything else.

Another visible effect of your immune system is when we do not eat a balanced diet and a vitamin deficiency ensues.

When sailors went to sea for long periods, they would over time develop swollen joints, brusing and bleeding gums. This was known as “scurvy.” It was once said that if you developed scurvy, you were at one time considered terminally ill and you were expected to die … within days.

Over time it was discovered that if the sailors were given citrus fruit such as oranges or lemons to ingest, this condition would then quickly reverse. It was found that scurvy was the result of a vitamin C deficiency.

Feed your body right, and you help your amazing immune system to overcome just about anything!

Vitamins and minerals are used by our bodies and if we do not get enough of the right vitamins it can affect us mentally and physically. As our bodies do not produce vitamins and minerals, we have to get them from our food.

Interestingly, vitamins are actually interdependent. If we do not have enough of one type of vitamin it can also affect our body’s ability to take in other types of vitamins.

By feeding this wonderfully created body properly, the immune system is given the tools required to have victory in the body, thereby overturning life-threatening diseases.

A deficiency of vitamin B12 may affect balance, memory, and can influence mood. Vegans (people who don’t eat any meat, dairy, or eggs) are actually most at risk for developing a B12 deficiency.

Health issues are often the result of not getting enough vitamins.

When you develop an iron deficiency — you may develop anemia. When we do not get enough vitamin A – you may experience decreased resistance to infections. A vitamin D deficiency? – watch out for cardiovascular diseases, muscle weakness and osteoporosis. A deficiency of vitamin E can affect the nervous system and the eyes.

By feeding your immune system in a balanced way, you are making a prime investment into your body’s capacity to have victory for your health every single day and help you maintain peak wellness!
