The outbreak of swine flu and circulating news reports have inspired me to write a post about natural measures travelers might take to optimize their immune systems in order to ward off the swine flu and other  viral strains. I became interested in the power of the immune system, our body’s natural defense mechanism, when I was in grade school. Some of  my classmates were continuously out sick with every cold and flu that went around. In fact, they were out of school more than they were in. Then there were others who seemed to be resistant and were rarely ill. Clearly there were other factors involved besides the virus itself, because we were all exposed, but not all of us became ill.

We can think of our immune system as a kind of standing army waiting to defend us against any foreign invaders – viral or bacteria strains that try to get a foothold in our bodies. The stronger our army the better it will be able to defend us against pathogens. So what can we do to strengthen our immune system? Besides reducing stress, getting enough sleep, eating well and taking a good multi vitamin  mineral supplement with adequate A, D, & C  there are certain vitamins, minerals, and herbs that have been clinically shown to support and optimize immune function. Some of these are:

• larch tree
• zinc
• echinecea
• black elderberry

There is a natural supplement that contains all four of these ingredients, has a pleasant taste, and is indicated for seasonal immune support to be taken at the first sign or symptom of cold, or flu. It has antibacterial and antiviral properties which would make it a good addition to any travel medicine kit.  Click here for more info. and to get this supplement: Emergency Immune Protection

The scientific community has identified a substance called INTERFERON as being critical to proper immune function. Interferon was discovered in 1954 by renown Japanese immunologist, Dr. Kojima, who then spent many more years searching for a natural interferon booster. His research resulted in the creation of a natural botanical formula, the only dietary supplement in the US that increases the body’s natural production of interferon stimulating immune function at the cellular level. When taken daily it is especially helpful against air born pollutants and irritants. Stale air in planes, changes in climate, food, water and poor sanitary conditions can all compromise the traveler’s immune system. This clinically proven natural supplement can offer protection WITHOUT ANY HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS.  It is available here: Natural Interferon Booster

So, continue to travel, have fun, and take your immune system boosters for protection. Here is a short video clip on natural interferon and how it works click here
