My recommendation is all natural NutriFeron which is a clinically proven blend of immune-strengthening plant extracts that strengthens immune response by boosting the body's natural interferon. Key ingredients are a proprietary blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds which have been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level. Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions. |

i was taught in a college nutrition course that taking vitamin C and zinc together have been shown to boost immune system efficiency. as for herbs, i have read that astragalus may help as well as garlic and eucalyptus. my own experience has taught me that the best thing for getting over a cold is to eat healthy and to sleep a lot. |

Best herbs include echinacea, goldenseal, garlic, olive leaf extract, elderberry, or astragalus. Best vitamins include Vitamin A, C, or E. These are a good source of antioxidants, which will strengthen your immune system. Good foods to eat include organic fruits and vegetables, chloretta, medicinal mushrooms like maitake, shiitake, reishi, or turkey tail. Besides water, wheatgrass juice, aloe vera juice, or green tea are good drinks. The minerals zinc and selenium also help in boosting your immune system. If interested in boosting your immune system in other ways, I suggest to do as many things on the following list as you can... 1) keep practicing good personal hygiene care, wash your hands! 2) get plenty of rest. During deep sleep, our body release potent immune-enhancing substances that strengthen your immune system function. By not allowing our body sufficient rest, the immune system will sputter, and as a result, not function at full capacity. We then are more likely to become ill with common illnesses. A healthy, deep sleep allows our body to release a significant amount of growth hormone that boost the immune system and aids in the growth and repair of the body. 3) get moderate and regular exercise An increase in blood flow associated with moderate exercise helps to circulate antibodies along with white blood cells necessary to fight infection more quickly. As a result, this provides our bodies with an early warning system to ward off potentially damaging germs. In addition, the increase in body temperature as a result of physical activity may aid in inhibiting the growth of bacteria; thus allowing the body to fight infection more effectively. 4) Receiving a Regular Body Cleansing. Body cleansing is essential because our bodies need to properly eliminate the toxic build up that has formed in our intestines (colon), which may lead to sickness and disease. Our body organs and tissues must be free of toxins for the immune system to function optimally thus enabling our bodies to receive the essential nutrients our bodies need. 5) Boost immune system by drinking plenty of filtered water. Water is essential for all living things and keeps our immune system operating optimally while improving the way we feel, look and live. Without sufficient amounts of water, you may experience routine fatigue, dry skin, headaches, constipation, and a decrease normal bodily function which may lead to your body unable to fight off diseases. Without water we would literally dehydrate which could result in the shutting down of vital organs and ultimately end in death. 6) Eliminate all sugar and allergens from your diet. Just a small amount of sugar has been proven to impair white blood cells up to 50% for very short periods of time. By discovering what our personal food allergies are, then eliminating or desensitizing them will help strengthen your immune system. By removing these triggers, our immune cells are strengthened in order to combat other invaders such as influenza rather than the allergen. The elimination of sugar from your diet can also strengthen immune system. |

A, C, and E called ACE's are one of the best vitamins for boosting the immune system. Nothing really can fight off viruses or bacterial infections but eating right, getting plenty of exercise, getting plenty of sleep, drinking plenty of water and washing your hands several times throughout the day with soap and water will help cut down infections. |
