CORYZA FORTE - #968 Colds, Flu, Allergies, Bronchitis, Sinusitis, Etc... Specific Nutrients Build and Support Immunity It’s that time of year again. Eyes get watery, noses get runny, muscles get achy and clinics everywhere are offering and encouraging flu shots. Since individual strains of the flu virus are constantly changing, vaccinations against influenza have only been partially successful. If the shot itself doesn’t make you sick, then your chances depend on whether or not the particular strain you are exposed to was included in your shot. And then there’s the common cold which is difficult to cure because the virus has the ability to change in size and shape and has hundreds of different forms, making it almost impossible to formulate a vaccine against the virus. You can also have allergies, sinusitis, tonsilitis or bronchitis. All involve the upper respiratory tract and the symptoms are so similar that you may not even know which one you have. Short of isolating yourself in a bubble, there seems to be no escape from these bugs. You can, in a sense, even catch a cold from yourself. When your immune system is weakened by(dis) stress and a poor diet, dormant viruses can take hold. The only answer is to fight them from within, with a strong well-nourished immune system. Numerous scientific investigators have demonstrated the relationship between nutrients and components of the immune system such as T and B lymphocytes, immunoglobulins and the energy and chemistry of producing antibodies. A decrease in the body’s defenses can result from protein/calorie malnutrition or from deficiencies in specific nutrients. In any nutritional therapy program, it’s always good to start with a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Then add nutrients that are specific for the immune system and the upper respiratory tract. If you’ve ordered and/or received your personalized HealthTest©) all this information will be spelt out for your needs. Vitamin A and Beta Carotene: Both vitamin A and beta carotene (provitamin) supplementation demonstrate significant immune enhancing action. Vitamin A has been shown to stimulate or enhance natural killer cell activity, monocyte phagocytosis and antibody response. It also demonstrates potent anti-viral activity. Vitamin A deficiency appears to make the lining of the respiratory tract more vulnerable to infectious agents. Beta carotene has been shown to potentiate the effects of interferon and to increase the frequency of T cells and helper T cells. Both nutrients can prevent and reverse thymic involution. However, because of its superior anti-oxidant properties, beta carotene may offer the 1 greatest protection to the thymus. Nutritional Support for Upper Respiratory Conditions * Vitamin A * Pantothenic Acid * Bioflavonoids * Vitamin B-6 * Vitamin C * Calcium * Beta Carotene * Zinc * Echinacea Glandular Support * Thymus * Lymph * Adrenal * Spleen Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids: Although vitamin C has been shown to be anti-viral and anti-bacterial, its main effect is via improvement in host resistance. Immune enhancing effects have been demonstrated in white blood cell function and activity, increasing interferon levels, secretion of thymic hormones, antibody levels and antibody response. Vitamin C, vitamin B-6 and zinc are perhaps the most critical nutrients for manufacture, secretion and function of thymic hormones. A deficiency of any one of these will result in decreased thymic hormone action and impaired immune function. It’s important that bioflavonoids be taken with vitamin C since these compounds raise vitamin C concentrations in some tissues. The action of both vitamin C and bioflavonoids are enhanced when taken together. This combination reduces cold, allergy symptoms and inflammation by inhibiting the release of histamines and other inflammatory substances into the tissues. Echinacea: Currently more than 300 Echinacea-containing products are sold worldwide as non-specific immunostimulants. Numerous clinical studies have confirmed the herb’s general immune-enhancing effects which result in enhanced T-cell mitogenesis, macrophage phagocytosis, antibody binding, natural killer cell activity and increased levels of circulating neutrophils. It’s major component, insulin is an activator of the alternative complement pathway which is responsible for increasing non-specific host defense mechanisms such as neutralization of viruses, destruction of bacteria and increasing the migration of white blood cells to areas of infection. Positive results have been seen with influenza, colds, upper respiratory tract infections and other infectious conditions. B Vitamins: Among the B complex vitamins, B-6 and pantothenic acid in particular appear to affect the immune system. B-6 deficiency results in a reduction in the quantity and quality of antibodies produced, 2 shrinkage of lymphatic tissues and the thymus gland, decreased thymic hormone activity and a reduction in the number and activity of lymphocytes. Laboratory animals and human volunteers subjected to B-6 deficiencies experience severe immune depression. Pantothenic acid enhances the production of adrenal secretions which stimulate the thymus, spleen and bone marrow to fulfill their respective functions in the immunologic response. Zinc: Zinc is a critical nutrient since it is involved in many immune mechanisms including both cellmediated and antibody-mediated immunity, thymus gland function and thymus hormone action. When zinc levels are low the number of T cells is reduced, thymic hormone levels are lower and many white blood cell functions critical to immune response are severely lacking. All of these effects are reversible upon adequate intake and absorption of zinc. Calcium: Calcium is important in immunity due to its role in maintaining healthy bone marrow which is the site of lymphocyte origination. Glandular Support: Glandular therapy involves the use of glandular and organ substances to promote the function of individual organs or glands. Raw concentrates of glandular and organ tissues contain concentrated amounts of protein derived from a particular gland or organ of an animal. Studies have shown that these substances are organ-specific rather than species-specific. Using radioactive isotope tracing, it was discovered that glandular tissues were absorbed by the bloodstream and deposited for use in the corresponding glands of the recipient. This discovery was documented by Dr. A. Kment in German medical publications of 1958 and 1972. Used in conjunction with a balanced diet, vitamins and other nutritional supplements, glandular therapy is a safe, effective treatment for an organ or gland that is functioning inadequately. The immune system is composed of lymphatic vessels and organs including the thymus, spleen, tonsils, adenoids and lymph nodes. The thymus gland is the major gland of the immune system. Studies have demonstrated that use of calf thymus tissue extracts can significantly increase immune function, particularly in the elderly or debilitated. These immune enhancing effects have been seen in a variety of viral infections including upper respiratory tract infections, viral hepatitis and AIDS. Raw spleen concentrates have been shown to increase white blood cell counts in extreme deficiencies of both lymphocytes and neutrophils, as well as being of benefit in patients with malaria and typhoid fever. Taken together, raw thymus, spleen and lymph concentrates rally the immune system and accelerate drainage of the lymphatic system, thus relieving head congestion associated with colds, flu and 3 allergies. Raw adrenal concentrate is also useful. It contains active enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroid substances, thus reducing inflammation and regulating immune response. Adrenal hormones are also responsible for the body’s adaptation to stress, including illness.
