There is a time bomb
ticking. Because of international travel, diseases once confined to
the developing nations can be easily transmitted to persons in industrialized
nations. What’s more, because of overuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant
bacteria, themselves immune to our once most powerful medicines, are
now commonplace.
For some time during the heyday
of the sixties and seventies we might have thought that we had somehow
gained the upper hand against the age-old scourge of infectious diseases.
We haven’t. Ancient diseases caused by bacterial and viral toxins
as well as parasites continue to account for half of all deaths worldwide.
Indeed, the Los
Angeles Times reports that a forecast by researchers at UC San
Francisco predicts that by 2070, the world will have exhausted all
antimicrobial drug options, as the viruses, bacteria, parasites and
fungi evolve complete resistance to the human pharmaceutical arsenal.
The LA Times goes on to a note that, “It is a vision that remarkably
is shared by many of the world’s top microbiologists and infectious
diseases experts.” We may be able to come up with new drugs, but until
then we are all vulnerable.
Are you ready to brave
the challenges of this uncertain new world?
Doctors from the United
Kingdom report that there is a new form of salmonella resistant to
98.8% of all antibiotics.
The world is now experiencing
the highest number of tuberculosis deaths in history. There are more
cases of TB in London and New York City than in many developing nations.
New strains of TB are also drug-resistant.
Rates of malaria and
hepatitis are higher than ever before. Even in my own practice, I
am seeing a disturbingly high number of infectious diseases, sometimes
of unknown cause and uncertain prognosis.

Researchers
from pharmaceutical companies are attempting to find the “magic bullet”
that can vanquish new contagious diseases. But in the meantime, contagious
disease rates are escalating.
Nature’s Super Protectors
Nature’s pharmacy
may be the only way to protect yourself. The key is to gently optimize
the activity of your immune system.
Key nutrients do this task
better than any so-called miracle drug.
Several vitamins play key roles
in immune system function, but vitamins are not the whole story. Certain
immune cells thrive on zinc, a trace mineral. Indeed, one reason
for the effectiveness of Whitewing Labs’ Immune Defense™
is its high zinc content.
Zinc Rejuvenates
Aged Thymus Gland
To appreciate
how important zinc is to health, let’s look at its effect on the body’s
thymus gland, which is located under the sternum, and is responsible
for many of the body’s most important immune functions.
Over time, the thymus
shrinks from approximately the same size as the heart in infants to
the point where it becomes almost undetectable in the elderly. Although
this shrinkage has long been thought to be a normal process of aging,
experts now know that zinc supplements can help in stimulating thymus
regrowth, according to a 1995 report in the International Journal
of Immunopharmacology. This may portend a novel, important therapy
for improving adult immune function.
Other Key Defenders
Immune
Defense contains other key ingredients such as Siberian
ginseng, garlic, echinacea,
goldenseal, bioflavonoids,
zinc and preformed
vitamins A and E which
provide precisely the kind of immune-specific nutrition that many
people need to
|
reduce their number of sick days and help to fend off
new viruses and bacteria that are immune to our prescription drugs
Vitamin A, in particular, is
known to help in maintaining a healthy respiratory tract. And medical
science has shown that vitamin A provide a potent defense against
viruses.
Vulnerable Americans
Our borders are open, our
people are vulnerable. Why not reduce the risk of illness by gently
improving your immune function?
Who is a candidate for
Immune Defense? If you suffer from three or more colds a year,
your immune system definitely requires a gentle boost. If you suffer
from chronic fatigue or take more than a single course of antibiotics
a year, your body may be crying out for immune-specific nutritional
help.
A future world of drug-resistant germs poses
challenges that we need to address. Help your body face these challenges
with the aid of Immune Defense, available by using the order
form in the center of this journal.
