Organs of the Immune System:

Tonsils and adenoids are lymphatic tissue that builds long defense against germs in the respiratory tract.

Thymus gland is the primary central gland of the lymphatic system. The thymus gland, located behind the breast bone, produces T cells.

T cells control the immune system response that is associated with inflammation. Free radicals damage DNA and electrons (electromagnetic energy of the nervous system). It also shrinks the size of the thymus gland drastically reducing the effectiveness of the thymus glands’ role in the immune system.

Appendix is a lymphoid organ that opens into the first part of the large intestine. It manufactures hormones and other body chemicals, which are involved in B lymphocytes' (a type of white blood cell needed to fight infection) maturation. The appendix is affected by improper diet.

Lymph nodes (lymphatic system) are small oval structures that filter the lymph fluid and fight infection. In the lymph nodes are white blood cells (lymphocytes, monocytes) and plasma cells are formed.

The spleen is considered part of the lymphatic system. It is located between the stomach and the diaphragm. It destroys microorganisms by phagocytosis (engulfing). The spleen produces white blood cells and plasma cells. The spleen filters the blood, and removes old blood cells that need replacing.

Bone marrow is another component of the immune system. It produces new white blood cells (WBC fights infection), platelets (clot blood), B cells (precursor of plasma blood cell), killer T cells (immune response), granulocytes (prevent infection) and thymocytes (cells of the thymus gland). All the cells of the immune system come originally from the bone marrow.

Free-radicals reduces the effectiveness of the immune system, and also over burdens the pancreas. Free radicals damage the DNA and the electromagnet charge (electrons) of the cells, thus causing mutation of the cell. The body now see this mutated cell as foreign and attacks it.

Free radicals are associated with high intake of animal fats, denatured and devitalized foods (junk food), drugs or other harmful chemicals. These shrink the size of the thymus gland, which drastically reducing the effectiveness of its role in the immune system. Thymus gland is the primary central gland of the lymphatic system, and it produces T cells as mentioned earlier.

Lymphatic system Cleanse

The lymph vessels, nodes, thymus gland, tonsils and spleen can show signs that the lymph needs a cleanse. Signs are as followed: tired (indicate liver exhaustion), pale skin, extremely thin body, memory failing noticeably, and low immune response with frequent colds. Revitalizing lymph cleanse can make a difference. If the body looks uncharacteristically soft and spongy, or has newly noticeable cellulite, this indicates too many saturated fats and sugar.

Nutrition for the lymphatic system

Consult health care professional before diet change. Preparation is also needed to prevent toxins in the colon from being reabsorbed back into the blood stream. This could contribute skin breakouts and the spread of infection.

Spicy foods boost sluggish lymph system and cut mucous congestion. Foods like:

natural salsas

cayenne pepper

Consult health care professional before diet change. Preparation also needed for the prevention of toxins in the colon from being reabsorbed back into the blood stream. This could contribute to spread of infection.

Vitamin C with bioflavonoids helps promote production of antiviral protein interferon. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is an immune stimulant, an antioxidant and is needed for stress-hormone production (pituitary- adrenal cortical response).

Consult your health care professional as to the use of the buffered ascorbic acid Vitamin C or an esterified form of vitamin C plus Bioflavonoids. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids also support anti-inflammation process. It is helpful in autoimmune diseases as arthritis and cancer.

Antioxidants neutralizes free- radicals by binding to their free electrons. Antioxidant opposes the oxidizers (free radicals that take up electron and damage DNA).

Antioxidants sources are:

Hormone as melatonin

Enzymes such as dismutase and Glutathione peroxidase

Vitamins as:

Zinc

Bata carotene

Bilberry (antioxidant helps protect against cancer.)

Blueberry (Bilberry is European cousin is the blueberry.)

Sarsaparilla root (used as tea to help get rid of chemical waste)

Bizzy (cola nut) is also used as tea to help get rid of chemical waste.

Selenium

Vitamin E (monitor blood pressure) rids the body of toxic substances when combined with vitamin C and Selenium.

Vitamin B complex is especially important in stress management.

Fresh lemon (juice ½ lemon in a cup of water once daily) or as indicated by health care professional.

It helps to remove uric acid, toxins, and inorganic calcium, promoting a more alkaline body environment. This also cleanse the liver and acts as an anticoagulant that thins the blood. Monitor for signs of bleeding.

Lemons also have an abundance of vitamin C. As an antiseptic, lemon can be applied to wounds as infection prevention.

Potassium helps to balance chemical imbalance in the body. It helps to prevent constipation, helps tissue retain elasticity, helps to stimulate liver function and promote energy. Some food sources of potassium are:

Beans

Asparagus

Raisins

Spinach

Dates

Cabbage

Carrots

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Peaches

Sea plants

Banana

Apricots

Citrus fruits

Sulfur purify, and tones. It promotes bile release (secretion). A lack of sulfur prevents liver function, which results in the stay of impurities in the blood. Some food sources are:

Broccoli

Cucumber

Corn

Onion

Turnip

Sea vegetables

Selenium (is of the sulfur family)

Bromelain acts as an anti-inflammatory.

It is found in fresh pineapple.

Grape vine used as a tea helps to remove chemical waste especially from the breathing passage.

Ginger bath helps to release toxins via the skin and is good for circulation as it warms and moves the blood.

Garlic detoxifies and helps to heal, helps to lower blood pressure.

Food that supports the immune system indicated below.

Juice:

Ginger

Carrots

Apple

Histidine is an amino acid found in many proteins. It is a precursor of histamine, which aids in sexual arousal. Histidine is good for removing excess metals from the body. Natural sources of histidine include:

Rice

Wheat

Rye

food sources of fiber:

Wheat

Rye

Flax seed

Oat-bran

Rice bran

Herbs for a healthy immune system

Consult your health care professional before using herbs. Herbs have action and possibly side effects.

Burdock root and red clover aids in cleansing the lymphatic glands and

ridding the body of toxins. They have diuretic properties, so eat banana daily to help maintain potassium level, as potassium is lost with water.

Poke root is used for enlargements of the glands, spleen, particularly the thyroid gland, hard liver, biliousness, inflammation of the kidneys, enlarged lymphatic glands, and goiter.

(caution: the fresh or insufficiently cooked plant is poisonous).

Licorice root acts as an anti-inflammatory as it detoxifies, and aids the immune system.

Caution: Avoid licorice root if you have high blood pressure. Maintain

potassium level while on licorice root, and do not use for more than seven days.

Nettle leaf is anti-inflammatory

Detoxify and nurture
