It’s not genetics, where some folks
just happened to win the super-human genetic roulette.
Rather, it lies with your immune
system.
Your immune system is a
fascinating, interconnected network.
It protects you from millions of harmful bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins, and parasites, yet most people often don’t place much importance on it.
But for almost everyone living in the US, it can’t do what it’s designed to do.
Why? Because every day, without your knowledge, the immune cells of your body are silently assaulted and weakened.
And this devastates your cells’ ability to defend themselves the way they are supposed to.
There are 2 possibilities why your immune system is not working as well as it
should be.
1. Weakened Immune System
When your immune system is weak, it
prevents your body from fighting
infections and diseases.
This type of disorder makes it easier for
you to catch viruses and bacterial
infections.
Think of how many times you come into contact with someone who has a cold or the flu.
Imagine how hard your immune system works to fight off those germs and keep you in the pink.
But what if, instead, every one of those illnesses gained a foothold in your body?
You will see more complications from those illnesses and infections, and you’ll recover much more slowly.
Instead of bouncing back within days or a week, you could
suffer for several weeks or months.
When your immune system fails completely, you’re left without any natural protection against illnesses.
This leaves you open to “opportunistic infections” — sicknesses that can even come from things that ordinarily wouldn’t harm you.
These can include common cold, strep throat, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, herpes simplex, and tuberculosis, among other infections.
2. Overactive Immune System
An overactive immune system is the
opposite of a weakened immune system.
This happens when your body can’t tell
the difference between your healthy,
normal cells and invaders…
In other words,
your immune system turns against you, and may react to substances
in the environment that are normally harmless.
Or instead misfires and attacks its own tissues.
This can result in many autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, dry eyes, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and more…
As you can see, for your immune system to be strong and able to fight off any harmful virus, bacteria or foreign pathogens, it must
be balanced.
You need to boost your immune function while suppressing overactive immune attacks.
However, due to the chemical pollutants, stress, environmental destruction, and unhealthy food you consume, all of these tear down your immune system, making it either difficult to defend itself or it can turn against your healthy cells, tissues, and organs.
