THINGS THAT STRENGTHEN
YOUR
IMMUNE SYSTEM
OOO

-- 1 --
ANTI-OXYDANTS
like coffee, tea, and blueberries, are your defence force against
FREE RADICALS
which at first are like a protective army enlisted by your own body to destroy noxious organisms, but that, after
they've run out of enemies, begin to feed on your healthy cells.

-- 2 --
SELENIUM
is a key nutrient for immunity.
It protects against toxic metals, environmental carcinogens, and tumor formation.
Selenium stimulates your immune system to destroy free radicals, and keeps viruses from multiplying.
You don't need much of it.
About 25mg a day is plenty.
Selenium works better if taken together with
vitamin E and vitamin A.

-- 3 --
ZINC
boosts your immune system by developing white blood cells that fight off bacteria, viruses, and infections.
Zinc is vital to enzyme functioning, vision, taste, smell, prostate functions, and the destruction of free radicals.
Zinc can be found in steak, eggs, milk, and sunflower seeds.
You don't need much of it.
About 15 mg a day, is plenty.

-- 4 --
POTASSIUM
protects your muscles and your nervous system.
It's easy to get plenty of it from baked potatoes with the skin left on, bananas, oranges, wheatgerm, raisins, nuts, milk, seafood, and kidney beans.

-- 5 --
VITAMIN B12
maintains your nervous system, your spinal cord, and your red bloodcell-production.
Vitamin B12 is difficult if not impossible, to get from pills.
Since you don't need much of it, and since your body will store it for several months, you'll always have enough B12 if you eat some
BEEF LIVER
every 3 months.

-- 6 --
YOGURT
boosts your immune system by introducing healthy bacteria that keep your intestines free of old and rotting food particles.
Most supermarket yogurts are a fake, and it's my own personal opinion that only
DANNON YOGURT
can be trusted to contain genuine, active, yogurt cultures.
So it's wise to read the label
of every brand you purchase.

-- 7 --
DOLOMITE
contains the perfect 2-to-1 ratio of Calcium and Magnesium,
which function sort of like the body's "spark plugs".
Our muscles can't operate without them -- this includes the heart muscle -- and they maintain the strength & durability of our bones.
Both Calcium and Magnesium release anti-stress hormones.
Among many other virtues, Dolomite is also credited with preventing bloodclot formation.
