How to help improve your immune system (was Re: CBC lab results...)

[Guest guest]

Hello Robyn,

That's a big question, I will try to keep it simple and give you some

ideas. Working on the nervous system I believe is the biggest key to

move your body from stress mode to rest mode, this is the sympathetic

nervous system vs. parasympathetic nervous system. Anything that

could stress your body should be removed... (No I'm not suggesting

divorce here although that has helped some people :-o :-) Your nervous

system controls your immune system and everything else in your body.

Some lifestyle changes will be universal and help almost everyone...

Detoxification done in many different ways such as colonics or enemas

(coffee), liver detoxification, massage, non-strenuous exercise moves

the lymph. The infrared light sauna has many great effects and should

be done daily at home (cost to make less than $100); nervous system

benefit as well as detoxification. Plenty of pure water daily and

with the diet I recommend a serving of brown rice daily and increasing

emulsified cod liver oil supplement and fats in your diet which can

cause the digestive system to be more dominant, thus reducing the

sympathetic nervous system. Healthy and frequent sex is also very

good for bringing the body out of stress mode. Because sex is also

usually tied to your emotions, it can be a link to raising and working

on some emotional issues as well.

Reducing or stopping any medications that can be eliminated. I

suggest food allergy testing to determine which foods to avoid for a

period of 6-12 months. Getting to bed before 11PM (9 or 10PM is

better) to get proper rest. If sugar imbalances, you may need to do a

protein before bedtime and certainly no carbs. No stimulants such as

caffeine, stimulant herbs, sugars or simple carbs, tobacco, etc.

Limit evening activity that would get you excited a few hours before

bedtime. Take plenty of good quality calcium and magnesium to calm

the body. Not more than 1000mg of Vit C and I usually do not

recommend even this much. This may make some want to send hate mail

who love Vit C, but it actually will slow the oxidation rate of your

cells in time and that is not what you need to balance your chemistry

because it is already too slow due to the chronic stress pattern.

Obviously you should properly support your adrenal and thyroid glands

as they are the first to get stressed from years of overuse such as

glandular and or iodine.

Much of the immune system is in the digestive tract, so it is

important to do the food allergy testing and do things that can calm

the chronic inflammation pattern there. Turmeric and aloe can help.

Eastern acupuncture (not for symptoms but systemic balance) to balance

the body can be good. I use a local infrared heat therapy to the back

and spine which does wonders for people in just a few weeks to restore

areas of chronic nervous system stress in the body. Music therapy is

excellent also. You can also buy a " light sound machine " which uses

pulsed sound and light to bring the body out of stress mode and lowers

your brain waves to more relaxed mode or sleep depending upon the

program. You can Google to find these for sale $100 - $200 and they

really do work.

Of course I can't skip emotional issues which can drive your body

chronically into disease if you harbor any anger, resentment, fear,

etc. Hurts need to be healed, not buried. Strong emotions over years

from past hurts you have experienced can keep you sick. Healing is a

process many times a daily process that starts with your willingness

to resolve any issues you may be holding onto. If you say I can let

go of all hurts but one, or one person, than that may just be a key

for your healing. You first have to be willing to admit your response

to past hurts can be still hurting you and then be willing to release

this person, event, or even God from being responsible for your pain.

There are ways to do this, but I don't want to get too deep into it

now. Basically holding onto un-forgiveness will keep your immune

system from being all that it should. If you don't know where to

start, simply pray that God show you if there is anything or help you

take the first or next step toward emotional healing.

A quite prayer time for a period of communication with God can be very

good for your health not only physically but emotionally and

spiritually. If you pray for 30 minutes or longer each day or

frequently it can change your life. Many people think prayer is

talking to God, but I believe prayer should be a communication with

God, which would include talking and also listening. Many times we

don't stop talking to actually hear what God wants to say to us. This

may be way off topic for this group so I will stop, but it's what I

believe. I don't mind private email for off topic subjects.

Be blessed,

Hope
