How to Boost Your Immune System and Prevent Infection

There is a public health emergency of international concern, but it's not the latest virus. We are being violated with substances that upset our biological nature and devastate the immune system. The chronic health conditions we face are the result of compromised immunity.

"There never have been two diseases in the world. There is only one disease: the compromising of the mucous membrane, and the mucous membrane of the African has been compromised for 400 years now." -Dr. Sebi

The Real Reason We Get Sick

Toxins damage the immune system and increase susceptibility to infection. Acidification from non-natural foods exacerbates issues and coupled with mineral malnutrition, it significantly diminishes our ability to heal.

It was while working as a steam engineer that Dr. Sebi realized the acidic environment — maintained to prevent biological growth in the pipes could also cause cellular damage and disease. Right now, we are being polluted with thousands of toxic substances, causing havoc:

• Heavy metals contaminate cells and cripple the immune system.
• Halides (fluoride and chloride) in public drinking water exterminate life.
• Processed foods are full of preservatives, additives, and artificial chemicals.
• Pesticides and fungicides kill the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Meat and dairy are laced with growth hormones and antibiotics.
• Plastic packaging seeps hormone-mimicking chemicals into food.
• Cosmetics and cleaning products contain toxic chemicals.
• Fast fashion contributes to pollution by releasing toxins and microplastics that harm the environment, contaminate cells, and weaken the immune system.

Additionally, the body releases hormones signaling immediate danger when under stress or in fear. Consequently, the immune system reduces activity to preserve energy. This down-regulation jeopardizes our defenses against invading viruses and pathogens.

"If the human body was meant to be open, it would have a zipper on it." - Dr. Sebi

Ways to Support Your Immune System

Fortunately, by supporting the immune system, and nourishing your cells, it's possible to defend yourself against viruses, bacteria, and accumulating toxins. The naturally powerful and defensive immune system creates a protective shield supporting your wellbeing in the face of threats.

By supporting the immune system, and nourishing your cells, it's possible to prevent sickness and boost your immune system.

Clean Carefully

An optimal immune system will prevent infection entirely or ensure you recover rapidly. Provided we take some simple precautions we can also prevent sickness and boost your immune system.

• Clean: Slowly and mindfully wash your hands with soap and wipe surfaces with non-toxic cleaners.
• Control: Avoid unnecessary gatherings and crowds.
• Contain: Catch sneezes in tissues and avoid touching hands or mouths to reduce transmission.
• Community: Support the elderly or children whose immune systems are less enabled.
• Calm: Reduce your stress, relax, and don't be afraid, trust your body to heal naturally.
• Care: Look after your nutrition and mental wellness, and plan how to maintain health.

Detox and Restore

Give the immune system what it needs to enhance immunity and prevent infection. In addition to fighting off invaders, your immune system cleanses, purifies, and rejuvenates every night and day.

• Detoxification: Reduce your plastic, pesticide, and toxin exposure, and chelate heavy metals.
• Purification: Drink a gallon of spring water daily to stay hydrated and get enough iron to maintain the level of hemoglobin in your blood.
• Restoration: Take rest and get sufficient sleep.
• Nutrition: Eat alkaline foods and nourish your cells with nature's gifts to health.

Immune-Boosting Foods

Our instinctive enjoyment of flavors and colors comes from our co-evolution with nature and eating these varieties of plants in their natural form is how we enhance our health. Mother Nature provides flavorful first-aid for wellbeing. 

Eat these foods in order to enhance your immunity and prevent infection:

• Apples and mangos disarm free radicals doing us harm.
• Berries (all types, except cranberries) modulate immunity and inhibit viral replication.
• Cherries and seeded grapes escort heavy metals out of the body.
• Grapes (seeded) and raisins protect DNA from damage.
• Mushrooms (all types, except shiitake) enhance antiviral interferon production.
• Onions protect us from cancer and toxins.
• Seaweed enhances the production of red blood cells.
• Watercress contains antioxidants combating disease.

Minerals and Herbs for Your Immune System

Our ancestors knew how to be healthy, and they relied on ancient herbs for healing. Reclaim your right to wellness by equipping your immune system to tackle the toxins. Restoring the natural electric equilibrium in the body cleanses cells, rejuvenates tissues, and reduces stress.

Iron

Iron is the most abundant element (by mass) on Earth, and is critical for your blood and immunity. Your blood delivers essential oxygen and vital nutrition to every single cell and removes toxins. In the US, a worrying 9% of toddlers are deficient in iron, and 7% of adults are severely deficient and anemic.

Burdock Root

The burdock plant knows how to reach its roots deep into the earth to claim the iron it needs. Maybe the abundant growth of burdock in Africa and America is nature hinting that we need it too? 

Disease cannot exist in an iron-rich body nourished by plants. Dr. Sebi's Bio Ferro Tonic and Bio Ferro Capsules combine the iron in burdock, one of its main ingredients, with exactly the right formulation of life-giving herbs to nourish and purify your blood, while boosting your immunity.

Elderberry

Elderberry is another ancient immune-supporting plant used to reduce congestion, soothe soreness, and support respiratory function. Packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals, this anti-inflammatory plant is a natural expectorant, clearing mucus from the lungs.

The herbalist Hermes Trismegistus described the plant's healing properties more than 2,000 years ago. His botanical knowledge was inspired by Wisdom Texts written by the ancient Egyptian Physician Imhotep. Later, elderberry was used during the 1995 Panama Flu Pandemic to treat multiple strains of influenza, reduce fever, and dramatically improve recovery time. 

You can also benefit from these remarkable protective berries in a flavourful brew of Dr. Sebi's Immune Support Herbal Tea. Add Dr. Sebi's Iron Plus, which combines five more potent healing herbs with the powerful elderberry creating an iron-rich antioxidant that purifies and energizes your entire body.
