Boosting Immune System

[DIRTY_SOUTH]

TweetNot really aas material but here goes.

I've been doing alot of reading lately on natural/script drugs that help boost a persons immune system. Most of it sounds like crap that they just want you to buy. Anyone got any ideas or any personal experience? I've been keeping colds/sinus infections or symptoms for a while now and I just wanted to go this route instead of going back and forth to see a doctor and taking all these cold/allergy meds all the time. I'm trying to save my liver cause I know that the combination of social drinking,aas, and o/c drugs are putting a beating on it.

Vitamin E 400 IUs day

Taurine 15 g day
CEE 6 g a day

Tweet^Is available in capsule form at your local healthfood stores. Also try Quercetin. It is a bioflavonoid similar to rutin. Human cell culture studies with quercetin have demonstrated its capability to inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells. Colostrum is also very good at boosting the immune system. Geen tea is a very excellent detoxifyer and will help in cleansing the liver/kidneys. Alfalfa tabs are also excellent in building stamina and energy and very cheap.

TweetThe latest study on childhood immunity found that children who picked their noses and consumed the pickings had much better immune systems. It seems the nose blocks potential irritants but that ingesting them in a dry form allows the body to produce immunities to the substances breathed in.

Are you a doctor? Did you do this research? If not then post a link or a reference for such statements. Thanks.

You didn't ask anyone else to provide credentials or links for statements they made. Do the research yourself if you are interested. Many other studies have shown that "overcleanliness" in childhood leads to more asthma and allergies. Children raised with a variety of animals are also less likely to develop allergies and immune problems. There is a school of thought that we have so many auto-immune disorders because children are not exposed to pathogens and allergens in a natural way and the body's immune responses become triggerred by allergens and other environmental factors. In undeveloped countries you have no IBS or Chrohns because people are infected with intestinal parasites. We have upset the natural responses of the body by becoming "germ free".

First off, I was asking you to give me a link because I was curious. You are the second person that has posted this and I have researched but I can't find any link or info to verify the claims being made. I'm sure there is some truth behind the reasoning but I wanted to do some reading and research it further, not just have people throw out statements without being able to back them.

Second off, Do not try to be an ass and punk me on the board by telling me to do research. If I ask a question, especially in my own damn thread then answer it with some respect.
