Free Class on Immunity: The Best Offense is a Good Defense

Stay Healthy This Winter by Boosting Your Immune System When it comes to fighting colds and flu, most people go on the offensive to defend themselves. They focus their efforts on trying to destroy germs. When it comes to preventing contagious disease, however, the best defense is to build up one’s immune defenses.

It seems that in all the rush to kill microbes with antiseptics, disinfectants and antibiotics we forget one simple fact—a healthy body naturally resists infection. It’s not that cleanliness isn’t important, it’s just that its impossible to avoid all contact with microbes. That’s why we have an immune system. Nutritional deficiencies, stress, negative attitudes and lack of sleep all lower our immune defenses and no amount of disinfectant offensive actions can make up for this reduced immune response. However, there are herbs and supplements that can.

Adaptogens, for instance, can reduce stress while boosting the immune system. Non-specific immune stimulants can increase white blood cell production, putting the body on “red alert” to be prepared for any microbe to which you might be exposed. Probiotics also build your defenses and help to protect your body against yeast, mold and harmful bacteria. In this free class, Steven Horne, RH(AHG) will explain how you can boost your immune system with better nutrition, herbs and other completely natural remedies. He’ll also discuss natural remedies you can use to get well fast even if you do catch one of those wintertime “bugs.”
