Immune System Facts

Your Immune System Explained.

Your immune system is a complex, intricate system made up of cells, organs, proteins and tissues that team up to provide a natural defense to protect you from bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi, which from here on throughout the article will be referred to as germs.

There is literally no way to escape these four villains from coming in contact with your body. What you can do is manage your body in a way that enables it to operate at optimum performance to ward off an invasion.

Immune System Facts - What Causes Problems?

Have you ever wondered when there is some type of "bug" going around why some people "catch it" while others remain healthy and unaffected? When your body is weakened by outside influences, it becomes vulnerable to invasion from germs. Many factors, either by themselves or combined contribute to a weakened system. Some examples of this are:

• Unhealthy Eating Habits - Processed and Fast Food
• Drug Abuse - Including Prescription & Over The Counter Drugs
• Alcohol Abuse
• Lack of Sleep
• Negative Emotions
• Stress
• Environmental Issues

When these factors get "the best" of us, the immune system is an open door to invasion by germs. When we get to this state, we are sure to lose the battle to the outside forces and usually do.

Immune System Facts - What Are The Components?

Cells, tissues, proteins and organs team up to create this amazing defense system.

Cells - White blood cells called lymphocytes are made in your bode marrow. These cells move through the bloodstream to overcome germs before the germs overcome you.

Proteins - Proteins or antibodies are produced by the immune system to assist in neutralizing toxins produced by some germs.

Lymphatic System - Made up of lymph nodes to trap germs in the spleen which then filters the blood to be free of germs.

Thymus - Made up of lymphatic tissue and promotes the development of antibodies.

Tonsils & Adenoids - These two sample bacteria and germs that enter either the mouth or nose and will become infected themselves rather than allow invasion to the rest of the body.

Appendix - A "safe house" for good bacteria to aide the digestive system.

Peyers Patches - Are follicles in the small intestine that destroy bacteria that could potentially enter the bloodstream.

Fever - A Misunderstood Natural Weapon

Fever is a natural response to a problem within the body. A rise in body temperature can actually kill some germs. An increased body temperature will also begin the body's process to repair itself. If a fever is a natural response to a problem, why are we told to "get a fever down" before it rises too high?

Immune System Facts - The Results Of A Weakened System

Allergies - The body is reacting to a something harmless as if it were in fact harmful; dust, pollen, animal hair etc.
Autoimmune Diseases - These diseases are defined as diseases where the immune system turns on the body and attacks healthy cells by mistake.
Some autoimmune diseases are:

• Graves Disease - an over active thyroid
• Hashimoto Thyroiditis - an under active thyroid
• Lupus
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• HIV/Aids

Immune System Facts - How to Protect Yourself

• Eat fresh foods, especially fruit and vegetables and avoid processed and fast food.
• Get plenty of sleep consistently.
• Manage stress, think positive and laugh often.
• Breathe plenty of fresh air.
• Drinks purified or bottled water and eliminate soft drinks from your diet.
• Take a natural treatment to boost your immune system to fight off disease before it strikes.

Does Colloidal Silver Prevent The Flu?

Depending of the current season, the flu seems to monopolize much of the media headlines no matter where we turn. We are constantly told to immunize, in come cases, multiple times. What the media doesn't give us enough information on is how to prevent the flu.

Prevention - What's The Big Secret?

It's a topic that seems to be danced around in every interview. Why can't the powers that be give us the secret on how to prevent the flu? Sure, they tell us to wash our hands, cough into our sleeves, but where is the well researched information? Why aren't they telling us about natural treatments, vitamins and supplements? Why isn't there a media onslaught about building and maintaining a strong, healthy immune system?

Unfortunately the answer is simple. Natural treatments, vitamins and supplements are not a money maker for pharmaceutical companies. Also, millions of healthy people don't make good business for the health care industry, but millions of sick ones do.

The Immune System - The Bodies First Line Of Defense

It's no secret the immune system fights off all things foreign that want to invade your body including germs, bacteria and flu viruses. The question for many is how to build up the immune system to work effectively and efficiently to fight off illness like the flu.

There is quite a selection of natural treatments, vitamins and supplements to aid you in building up your system. One choice in particular is to use a good colloidal silver product. A quality colloidal silver is lethal against up to 650 various strains of bacteria and viruses, including flu viruses. It's job when working side by side with the immune system is to eliminate these viruses before they invade the body. That way the immune system remains strong, healthy and actively protecting you against illness and a plethora of ailments.

Natural Treatments For....

The New Silver Solution, a colloidal silver product, has a plethora of uses, many of them I write about here on this blog.

Additionally I have begun publishing individual pages for specific uses on a website called Squidoo. I wanted a means to highlight each use on a "permanent" type page and Squidoo allows me to do that.

Please be my guest and visit my new lenses (pages). I will continue to add more in the future.

Swine Flu Deaths

We continue to see the panic button pressed daily on the Swine Flu.

The vaccination that may or may not be mandatory.

Whether this wonder vaccination will be ready in time. (Ready for what?)

Is it safe to travel here...or there?

The Obama administration is using terms like "Preparing for the worst."

No matter what form of media you read or watch, the Swine Flu or H1N1 is everywhere. It's no wonder we aren't all running in terror through the streets over this alleged Super Killer.

Well how about we give it the attention it deserves?

Here are some statistics that may help you see a little clearer what is happening with the Swine Flu:

In 1967 the Hong Kong Flu killed 700,000 people worldwide. This was the last time the World Health Organization declared a flu pandemic until....

Now. A flu pandemic has been declared even though the Swine Flu has only killed 1462 people globally to date. Hmmmm.

Millions and millions of people get some variety of the flu every year. Statistically a relatively low number die from it, especially directly from it. For example, in 2006 in the US, 56,326 people died from the flu, however 55,477 of those people died from underlying complications they had before contracting the flu. In other words, their immune systems were already weakened when they contracted the flu. The number of people in the US who died from the flu in 2006 was 849.

The number of people who have died here in the US from Swine Flu to date is 447.

There are those who argue a vaccination is necessary even with this ridiculously low number because if we had an outbreak of the Flu, our health care system may not be equipped to deal with all the people suffering from underlying conditions and have weakened immune systems. Therefore the fix is to vaccinate them with an newly developed, under tested vaccination. I guess we can all be the test study for this vaccination and just see what happens.

Not me. I prefer to have a healthy strong immune system that can fight off the flu and countless other health villains, so I can go on about my life without missing a beat. Fortunately I'm not alone in my belief as thousands of others are beginning to educate themselves about the Swine Flu and other health issues thus taking the responsibility of their health into their own hands.

Which side of the fence are you on?

Buy Silver - Get Gold

We continuously read in the media how the value of silver and gold is on the rise and the value of the dollar is steadily sinking and according to some, at risk of becoming valueless.

We are encouraged to protect our financial foundation by buying both silver and gold as an investment for the future in the event of financial disaster.

I used the title in this post as a metaphor as to how I look at colloidal silver use.

By purchasing and using Silver Solution, a colloidal silver product, you get the Gold. Gold being first prize and that's great health. Great health can not be purchased, it has to be practiced.


By using Silver Solution as a first line of defense for an immune system boost, you are guiding your body to become strong enough to prevent sickness, ailments and disease from ever striking. You are building this strong body naturally with no side effects or toxic build up.


Back to my earlier metaphor of buying silver and gold, when you buy colloidal silver or Silver Solution, and invest in yourself by building up your immune system, you are laying a foundation much like your financial foundation. If disaster strikes, you are already strong and unaffected by this disaster, similar to owning silver and gold in order to not be affected should the dollar collapse.


Once your health is in jeopardy, you are relying on medication to treat the symptoms until your body can restore itself back to it's original level of good health. If it can. Often we become victims of the medication, relying on it to mask illness and disease, only to be held hostage by it's effects and contribute to our declining health.


By working from a position of strength and warding off illness and disease by building a strong immune system, we win the battle without ever going off to war.
