Kids with VitadophilusAs summer turns to autumn, your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against getting sick.  How it protects you can depend on how well you nourish and support your immune system.  Here are a few all-natural ways to keep your immune system healthy this fall and winter.

Our Sunrider foods, drinks and herbal supplements target specific parts of the body, such as the white blood cells of the immune system known as T-cells.  T-cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a vital role in fighting disease and infection. The formula we use to nourish and balance the immune system is Alpha 20 C.  T is the 20th letter of the Alphabet, and Alpha 20 C feeds the T-cells with very high quality nutrients that you can’t get from typical foods.

80% of infectious diseases are distributed by touch.  Washing hands is the single best prevention.  When out and about, if you are not around soap and water, use Kandesn Herbal Hand Cleansing Gel. Most of those other hand sanitizers are loaded with dangerous chemicals that do more harm than good.  This gentle hand cleanser is chemical-free and has a fresh, clean scent.  Carry these handy gel packs with you and keep your hands clean without water or unwanted ingredients wherever you go.

“All disease begins in the gut.” – Hippocrates

Experts say that most illnesses start in the gut, except, of course, genetic diseases.  Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, was a wise man.  Much of his wisdom, which is now over 2000 years old, has withstood the test of time. This excerpt comes from the article, "Does All Disease Really Begin in The Gut? The Surprising Truth"

  • “This has a lot to do with the different gut bacteria residing in our digestive tracts, as well as the integrity of the gut lining.  According to numerous studies, unwanted bacterial products called endotoxins can sometimes “leak” through and enter the bloodstream.  When this happens, our immune system recognizes these foreign molecules and mounts an attack against them, resulting in a chronic inflammatory response.  This diet-induced inflammation may trigger insulin resistance (driving type 2 diabetes), leptin resistance (causing obesity), fatty liver disease, and has been strongly linked to many of the world’s most serious diseases.”

So, naturally, the best way to keep the gut bacteria healthy is by fortifying the digestive system with healthy bacteria from a quality probiotic.  Vitadophilus is the probiotic we recommend.  It is vastly different from other probiotic products as apples form the base and the apple pectin coating allows the lactobacillus acidophilus to pass through the harsh stomach environment to the lower intestines where it can produce the most beneficial effect.  Most other probiotic products are destroyed by the stomach acids before reaching the lower intestines.  This is why other probiotic products must include billions of live bacteria, while Vitadophilus only requires millions to be effective since it is not destroyed by stomach juices.
