The Body SystemsYour Brilliant Immune SystemWelcome!

• Today we will discuss:– The concerns of our

immune systems

– The functions of our immune systems

– How you can build a healthy immune system

Your Brilliant Immune System

Mycobacterium chelonae bacteria

• Our immune system protects us against:– Billions of bacteria

– Viruses

– Toxins

– Free radicals

– Other parasites

• Our bodies offer these microbes a never ending supply of resources to feed off of. Yet, our multifaceted protection system fends many of these invaders off

Bacteria

Bacteria:– Are complete organisms

– Majority of bacteria exist independently

– Some live in or off other organisms-humans

– They thrive off a human host and produce toxins that harm the body

– Some bacteria are desirable

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bacteria

Concern: Infections are on the rise• 1 in every 22 persons checking into a hospital acquire a

hospital induced infection (HAI) This increases health costs by 28 billion. Center for Disease Control Report, 2009

• MRSA is on the increase: In intensive care units in the US 2% of S. aureus infections were MRSA in 1974, 22% in 1995, and 64% in 2004. (Klevens RM et al. Clinical Infectious Diseases 2006;42:389-91)

• JAMA reports that invasive, serious MRSA infections occur in approx 94,000 persons each year and are associated with 19,000 deaths. Of these infections, about 86% are healthcare-associated and 14% are community-associated

• C. difficile causes several hundred thousand human infections and several thousand deaths each year in the United States, according to the CDC. This number too, has been increasing.

• Acinetobacter- A drug-resistant strain of a dangerous type of bacteria in Intensive Care Unit of US hospitals is on the rise. Some are resistant to imipenem, an antibiotic that is reserved for last-line treatment

Concern: No New Antibiotic development

• “Research and development of new antibiotics isn't keeping up with development of resistance. If we don't do something about it we'll end up with a situation where all the old drugs have resistance and we don't have any new ones.“Dr Kathleen Holloway of the World Health Organization (WHO)

• In some parts of the world there is already antibiotic resistance:

• TB• Dysentery• Pneumonia

Concern: Antibiotic Resistance

• Even though there has been a decline of infectious diseases over the last 60 years, bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to existing drugs. Many antibiotics are no longer effective at combating common diseases, and a lack of research into new drugs means there

is a dire shortage of alternatives.London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Viruses

Viral Invaders: • Need a host cell• They do not reproduce on their

own• Seize control of a cell of

humans or other species• Mislead the host cell into

propagating new viruses to occupy other cells

• Often the host cell is destroyed during this process

Concern: Challenging Viruses

There is an increased concern about viral invaders

• It seems we are frequently being warned of an new ominous virus

• Although new vaccines are being developed; they only target several strains of viruses and side effects are a concern

Concern: Toxic Exposure • It is estimated that 85% of all debilitating

diseases are closely related to toxin-related pollution present in the environment

• A toxin is any substance or agent that causes an abnormal reaction in the body

• Toxins are: – Chemicals – Cleaning agents– Mold– Pollutants

– Pesticides

• There is an alarming amount of these toxins in our food, water, air and soil

Page 3: The Body Systems Your Brilliant Immune System · according to Dr Jesse Stoff, MD – Suppress the body's immune cells – Damage DNA – Promotes aging Concern: Life Habits • The

Toxic Exposure = Free Radical Damage• These toxins cause free radical damage

– Free radicals steal an electron from a cell which disrupts and destabilizes it

– This causes a chain reaction which moves from cell to cell

• Free radicals– Knock out communications pathways

between the cells of the immune system-according to Dr Jesse Stoff, MD

– Suppress the body's immune cells– Damage DNA– Promotes aging

Concern: Life Habits

• The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends healthy lifestyles to prevent the spread of germs and flu:

• “Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.” CD

Concern: Stress Filled Lifestyles

• Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain.

• Up to 90% of the doctor visits in the US may be triggered by a stress-related illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

• Neurological researcher, Dr. Caroline Leaf states “…even more ominous is the effect of small amounts of day-to-day stress. This confuses your immune system, effectively setting in motion the autoimmune response that causes your body to turn on itself.” Who Switched Off My Brain?

Concern: Lack of Sleep

• The National Sleep Foundation states that 68% of Americans report suffering from sleep deprivation

• Studies have shown that adults need an average of 8 hours of sleep each night

• When sleep is interrupted the immune system cannot complete its defense cycle

• Poorer sleep efficiency and shorter sleep duration in the weeks preceding exposure to a rhinovirus were associated with lower resistance to illness.Arch Intern Med. 2009;169(1):62-67

Concern: Sedentary Lifestyles

Our lymph system:• Plays a vital role in our immunity (more

on that later)

• Only moves by osmotic pressure• The lymphatic fluid is only active when

our bodies are active• If you do not move, then your lymph

system will become stagnant and toxic• This increases vulnerability to illness

• According to Dr. Gordon Pedersen, exercising increases Natural Killer Cells by 13%

Concern: Nutrient lacking foods

"There's no question the immune system fundamentally is influenced by overall health --and a balanced diet is key, not only are essential nutrients critical for the production and maintenance of key germ-fighting cells in the immune system, but a balanced diet also has a strong effect on vascular function, and the immune system is dependent on blood flow." David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Yale Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Connecticut.

Our Immune Defense System

The immune system is the most diverse and fascinating of all the body systems. It is

extremely complex and intricate in the ways it

interacts.

Our Immune Defense System• Immunity is still not fully

understood…• We know the Immune System:

• Provides barriers to protect our bodies from invaders

• Tries to detect and eliminate bacteria and viruses that get past the first line of defense

• If the invaders start to reproduce our immune system is responsible to eliminate the challenge

Our Immune Defense System

The immune system can be likened to a fortress with:

• Protective barriers

• Specialized soldiers

• Manufacturing stations

• Transportation systems

• Storage areas

• Clean up Crews

Our Immune Defense System• Protective Barriers:• Our skin is the outer wall of

the fortress – It is thick and difficult for

invaders to penetrate

• The eyes, nose, and mouth – Are protected by mucous that

captures harmful attackers

• In the Nose– Cilia, which are tiny hairs, trap

particles

• In the stomach– Intruders pass through stomach

acid that will destroy most of them

Our Immune Defense System

If there is injury to the protective barriers or an invasion is successful then:

• The soldiers of the immune system go to work

• These soldiers are a variety of cell types that complete specific functions

• They work as a team to protect against invaders

Our Immune Defense System• Meet the Soldiers:• Phagocytes: Immune cells that

specialize in finding and eating bacteria, viruses, and dead or injured body cells

• Lymphocytes: White blood cells that originate in the bone marrow and move to every organ in the body

– There are two main types of lymphatic cells: T-Cells and B-Cells

• Helper T-Cells: These cells are the drivers and the coordinators of the immune defense. They activate B-Cells and Killer T-Cells

•• Killer T-Cells: Specialize in

attacking and killing cells infected by viruses and possibly bacteria

Page 5: The Body Systems Your Brilliant Immune System · according to Dr Jesse Stoff, MD – Suppress the body's immune cells – Damage DNA – Promotes aging Concern: Life Habits • The

Our Immune Defense System

• B-cells: Search for substances called antigens that have stimulated the immune response; B-cells divide and produce antibodies that will directly: – Destroy antigens– Neutralize toxins – Incapacitate viruses

• Memory Cells: Are also produced when the B-Cells divide– Memory cells have a long life span– Memory cells remember the biological

signatures of the viruses – When an intruder tries to enter for a second

time:• Memory cells activate quickly • Memory cells eliminate the intruder

Our Immune Defense System

• The Lymphatic System is a vital part of the immune system. It is a multifaceted system that supports the body’s defense team by:

– Producing the soldiers

– Providing a barracks in which they are stored

– Transporting soldiers to the various battlefronts throughout the body

– Employing clean up crews

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system consists of:•Vessels•Ducts•Nodes 

The lymphoid organs are:•Tonsils and adenoids•Spleen•Thymus

The Lymphatic System• Lymph Vessels:• Transport the soldiers and clean up the

battlefront by removing any unwanted materials from the body

• The soldiers (immune cells and lymphocytes) are transported throughout the body’s lymph vessels via lymph; a clear, watery fluid

• These vessels also eliminate – excess fluid– dead cells– invading organisms from the body’s

tissues and cells• When passing through the nodes, the

lymph is filtered so that the bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted microbes cannot enter the blood and circulate throughout the body

The Lymphatic System

The lymph nodes:• Produce and store the soldiers

that defend the immune system• Are the Immune system’s clean-

up station • As the lymph fluid passes

through the nodes, bacteria and invading organisms are filtered out from the lymph fluid and then destroyed

• As the fluid leaves the node, it picks up more immune cells to circulate throughout the body

The Specialized Lymphoid Organs• The Spleen• Removes old red blood cells and

abnormal cells• Removes microbes and debris from

the blood stream• Stores and produces lymphocytes,

which in turn produce antibodies or soldiers

• The Thymus• Produces B-Cells and T-Cells• Provides an area where T-cells

(soldiers) mature• Contains many lymphocytes• Protects against autoimmunity• Is larger in early years to program

the way that the body resists infection

Page 6: The Body Systems Your Brilliant Immune System · according to Dr Jesse Stoff, MD – Suppress the body's immune cells – Damage DNA – Promotes aging Concern: Life Habits • The

The Specialized Lymphoid Organs

The Tonsils

• Serve as a station to produce more lymphocytes which deal with local infections

• Trap germs

• Kill bacteria that enter the mouth

Activating the Lymphatic System

Lymph Moving Exercise:

– Stand with your feet shoulder width apart

– Bounce up and down

– Do not move your feet off the floor

– Start swinging your arms and shake your hands while you are bouncing

– Do this for 5-7 minutes

• Dry Skin Brushing

• Massage

• Bounce on a Mini Trampoline

Establish Healthy Lifestyles

Step one: Start supplementing to provide your body the nutrients it does not adequately get from food and does not make on its own.

Step Two: Pick an action item from the following1. Drink plenty of pure water2. Exercise regularly3. Sleep 8 Hours per night4. Relax daily5. Stop negative thought patterns6. Lighten your toxic burden7. Eat nutrient dense foods

Drink Plenty of Pure WaterAccording to the Mayo Clinic• Every system of your body

depends on water• Water flushes out toxins• Water carries nutrients to cells• Average urine output is about 6.3

cups per day• You lose about one liter of water

per day via sweat, breathing, and bowel movements

• Food supplies our bodies with approximately 20% of their fluids

• The Institute of Medicine recommends that men drink thirteen cups of water a day and that women drink nine

Implement Exercise

Exercise:• Leads to an improvement of

mood, which improves our outlook on life; this, in turn, boosts our immune system

• Helps relieve stress

• Releases and helps eliminate toxins

• Strive for balance when exercising too much can cause free radical damage

Sleep 8 Hours Per Night

In The Promise of Sleep,author, William C Dermont, states that sleep serves to augment tissue repair, conserve energy, store sugars and boost the immune system.

Stop Toxic Thinking

Check your Mental Attitude:According to Dr. Caroline Leaf: • There is a direct communication

between your thoughts and the way your immune system functions

• Toxic thoughts trigger negative and anxious emotions, and produce chemicals that cause the body stress

• Neuroscientists can track a sequence of reactions through which harmful thoughts unleash a torrent of destruction upon the body

• Intense worry, anxiety, fear, and anger create a strong stress response in the body and can eventually cause the immune system to be less effective in dealing with cancer cells

• For every two hours of work relax for 10-15 minutes

Avoid Toxic Overload Lighten your toxin burden by:• Eating less pre packaged meals and processed

foods which often contain preservatives and chemical additives

• Eating organic produce free of pesticides• Running your tap water through a reverse

osmosis filter• Use natural cosmetics, creams and cleansers

that are free of harmful chemicals• Avoiding artificial fragrances • Avoiding the use of stain repellants on

clothing, bedding or upholstery • Using natural cleaning products • Avoiding gasoline fumes when you're filling

your car

Eat to Build Immunity

Focus on eating Immune supporting foods:

• Eat 7-9 servings of fresh organic fruits and vegetables of different colors to provide a variety of nutrients

• Protein is needed to manufacture white blood cells (build more soldiers) Choose lean cuts of meat, fish and poultry

• Avoid the “Bad Fats” such as transfatsThey slow down the function of T-cells (Immune Soldiers)

• Consume healthy fats such as those found in omega three fatty acids, olive oil, raw nuts, avocados, and olives

• Remember to eat plenty of fiber!

Eat to Build Immunity

Remember:A high calorie diet slows

down your immune system

Sugar lowers your immune system….

Avoid:– Fast food– Sodas– Sugar-laden foods– White breads– Processed foods

Supplement To Build Immunity

It is not possible to get all the nutrition your immune system needs from food…

The American Medical Association stated that:

Everyone should take a multiple-vitamin in order to guard against nutritional deficiencies. Our soil has become so depleted of nutrients that our food does not supply us with nearly as much nutrition as it did 50-100 years ago; this is vital because major deficiencies of even one vitamin and mineral can lead to disease.

The Nutrient Challenge

• According to the British Journal of Nutrition: Adequate intakes of micronutrients are required for the immune system to function efficiently. Micronutrient deficiencies can suppress immunity.

Vitamin B1 crystals

Page 8: The Body Systems Your Brilliant Immune System · according to Dr Jesse Stoff, MD – Suppress the body's immune cells – Damage DNA – Promotes aging Concern: Life Habits • The

Nutrients to Build Immunity

• The following micronutrients work synergistically to support protective activities of immune cells:– A, C, E, D, B6, B12, and Folic Acid

– Trace minerals iron, zinc, copper, and selenium

– Most of these nutrients are also essential for antibody production

• Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc support the skin and the mucosa; British Journal of Nutrition (2007), 98, Suppl. 1, S29–S35 doi: 10.1017/S0007114507832971

Nutrients to Build Immunity

• Vitamin E stimulates production of:– Natural Killer cells and immune cells that destroy

bacteria• Beta Carotene increases the production of our:

– Infection-fighting Natural Killer Cells and Helper T cells

– Helps protect against cancer by stimulating macrophages to kill cancer cells

• Bioflavonoids: – Protect our cell receptor sites from toxins– Vitamin C increases white blood cells and antibodies– Both vitamins help prevent the entry of a virus

• Vitamin D3:– Prevent cold and flu symptoms– 1,500 to 2,000 I.U. of vitamin D bolsters the

immune system and may prevent infection. Dr. Michael F. Holick, professor of medicine, physiology, and biophysics. Director of the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory, Boston University School of Medicine.

Omega Three Fatty Acids and Immunity

• Cell membranes:– Are largely comprised of essential fatty

acids– Weak cell membranes lose their ability to

communicate with other cells– Researchers believe that this is a key factor

in the development of cancer• Studies indicate that fish oil:

– Slows breast tumor growth– Inhibits cancer cells from spreading– Lowers the risk of cancer in both pre- and

post-menopausal women• According to Dr. Sears:

– Omega-three fatty acids increase the activity of the white blood cells that eat up bacteria

– Essential fatty acids protect the body against damage from over-reactions to infection

Antioxidants and Immunity

Antioxidants:

• Antioxidants are found in vitamins and minerals that exist in a number of foods and supplements

• Antioxidants counter free radicals by neutralizing them before they damage healthy cells

• Free radicals destroy immune cells and wipe out communication pathways

Antioxidants and Immunity• Research suggests that a diet high in

antioxidants might increase protection against cancer

• Your own immune system releases free radicals

– Macrophages release free radicals to destroy bacteria, parasites, and viruses

– When the antioxidant balance is too low, free radicals turn on the macrophage and render it much less effective

• Antioxidants assist with the detoxification of the body

Probiotics and Immunity• The intestinal tract is the largest organ in the

immune system• The term probiotic refers to the good bacteria that

are similar to those normally found in the gut• Probiotics:

– Enhance immune system– Protect the body against viruses, bacteria and

fungi– Improve digestion– Improve nutrient absorption

• In 1994, the World Health Organization deemed probiotics to be the next-most important immune defense system when commonly prescribed antibiotics are rendered useless.

Probiotics and Immunity

• “The good microbes – and this is where probiotics come in – keep the bad microbes in small numbers. But they also stimulate the immune system and improve our digestive function. That’s the subject of research that has been going on for years, says Huffnagle. “Today, the world of probiotics is emerging on the cutting-edge of mainstream medicine.”

• Gary Huffnagle, Ph.D., of the University of Michigan Health System, is one of the country’s leading researchers into the world of probiotics

Lactobacillus Acidophilus and L. Casei

Silver Shield and Immunity

Silver Shield:• There is increasing concern

about antibiotic-resistant infections

• Production of new antibiotics has grown stagnant

• Silver Sol offers hope through a patented nano-particle solution called Silver Shield

• Well researched immune enhancer

• Does not promote resistance as do antibiotics

• Inactivates viruses• Improves all classes of antibiotic

function as much as ten times

Silver Shield and Immunity

Through a complicated process, silver solutions interfere with the

energy sources of bacteria, microbes and pathogens

• Silver Shield technology

– is effective against more than 500 disease-causing pathogens

– is charged with two electrons, which contrasts with the single electron used in common colloidal silver. This increases the ability of the silver particles to repeatedly destroy targeted pathogens. (Current Science Res, 2007)

Silver Shield and ImmunityAccording to the Agency for Toxic Substances and

Disease Registry:– Silver is non‐toxic to the immune,

cardiovascular, nervous, and reproductive systems

– At doses 200 times the normal adult dose, it is non‐toxic to healthy human cells

According to US Patent No. 7,135,195 Silver Patent Analysis,

Silver Shield is effectual against the following:– Bacillus Anthracis – Anthrax– Candida Albicans – Yeast– Yersinia Pestis – Bubonic Plague– MRSA – Resistant Staph Aureus– Mycobacteria Bovis and TB – Tuberculosis– Salmonella ‐ Food Poisoning– Fungal infections of the skin– Bacterial infections of the skin– Vaginal & urinary tract infections– Respiratory & nasal infections– Conjunctivitis – pink eye

Silver Shield GelThere are clear concerns about the

negative effects of antibacterial soaps, gels and cleansers that contain triclosan. (see Immune Booklet)

NSP’s Silver Shield Gel:– Easy to use and it feels great– Made with food-grade ingredients– Contains no alcohol– Is safe for children – Has none of the risks associated with

commercial anti-bacterial products

Silver Shield Gel is manufactured with a patented process called

Aqua Sol Technology and uses only the finest particle-size colloids to

ensure maximum bioavailability and efficiency

Silver Shield Gel

Many have used Silver Shield Gel for the following:– A protective hand gel – Cuts– Warts– A healing salve for burns; you can add

lavender– As a protector from infections so the body

can heal faster– A soothing protective cream after shaving– A vaginal cream or lubricant– Applying to pimples– A face cream

• Our health accounts do not expand without consistent deposits to counteract their depletion from daily stress, lack of sleep, exposure to toxins and poor diets

• Core nutrients are vital to keeping our immune systems strong

• Our bodies do not make enough core nutrients, they must come through supplements– Probiotics

– Omega Three Fatty Acids

– Vitamins

– Antioxidants

determining its Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value.

• Super Orac is carefully tested for ORAC values• This insures the free-radical-fighting effectiveness of

each ingredient in this proprietary blend• The antioxidants “mop up” free radicals before they have

a chance to harm cells• The potentially-harmful radicals are prevented from

inhibiting the immune system• Super ORAC inhibits the radicals’ potential to cause

accelerated aging and cellular damage.

• Antioxidants should be used in combinations; they are more effective together than on their own. Dr. Packer, professor and senior scientist at Lawrence Berkley Laboratory and a published author on every aspect of antioxidant health.

Your Daily Fortification Plan

Probiotic 11:– Composed of 11 beneficial bacteria

– Contains approximately six billion micro-organisms per capsule

– Probiotic 11 is also formulated with a blend of short- and long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS);

– FOS is a dietary fiber that “feeds” the probiotics– 200 clinical studies report that myriad health

benefits can be derived from the ingestion of short-chain FOS

– These benefits include the enhancement of immune function as well as heightened protection against harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
