Indications:
This formula is designed to address all aspects of deep
immunity. Deep immunity references that not only does it
strengthen initial immune response via circulating white
blood cells in the blood, but it also stimulates white blood
cells in the lymph which are secondary and a deeper
immune response. It strengthens the immune system,
protects against microbial invasion and attacks microbes that
have taken residence in the body. Immune Acute Complex
can be used for those wanting to avoid getting sick or those
trying to push an illness out of the body. It has broad-
spectrum effects that stimulate immune activity, modulate the
immune system, fight bacterial and viral conditions, and open
up nasal passages. It is also an excellent tonic for those who
are prone to getting colds and flu, and can be used in acute
situations when the immune system needs an extra boost. It
can also be used by those with chronic infections to
strengthen and rebuild the immune system and protect
against further immune breakdown.
Astragalus, Maitake, and Shiitake are well known for their
ability to stimulate deep immunity. They are great for those
prone to getting sick or those who have chronic immune
deficiency that needs support. Astragalus contains
polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, and phytosterols which
contribute to its immune enhancing affects. It increases the
number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and
encourages their development into active immune cells. One
of the most active constituents in Maitake and Shiitake
mushroom is believed to be a beta glucan polysaccharide
that powers up the immune system. Beta glucan, which can
also be derived from yeast, acts as a “biological defense
modifier” to stimulate and modulate various immune
responses. It has been heavily researched for its immune
enhancing properties and its ability to activate macrophage
immune cells, NK-Cells, T-Cells, B-Cells, and cytokines. A
study from Harvard Medical School found animals treated
with beta glucan were more resistant to bacterial, viral, and
fungal inundation. Beta glucan treatment stimulated
proliferation of white blood cells and increased phagocytic
macrophage activity. A concentrated beta glucan extract is
added to Immune Acute Complex to further increase the
formula’s immune enhancing properties.
Echinacea excites the immune system to fight off microbes
before they dominate an organ system and create illness.
Numerous studies show Echinacea to have positive effects for
colds, flu, and upper respiratory tract infections. It
stimulates phagocytosis and helps ward off oncoming
infections. As a long-term tonic it can boost immunity and
help rebuild a healthy immune response.
Forsythia Fruit, Honeysuckle Flower, and Isatis Root are
traditional Chinese herbs used to help the body to resolve
illness and clear toxins. These herbs are powerful anti-virals
and are extremely effective in the early stages of colds and
flu.
Licorice is added as an expectorant to thin mucus in the lungs
to clear congestion. It brings down inflammation and soothes
sore throats.
Colloidal Silver has been used throughout history as an
antibiotic and disinfectant. It destroys the enzymes
responsible for oxygen metabolism in bacteria, viruses, and
fungi, thus cutting off oxygen to these harmful pathogens and
suffocating them. Colloidal Silver kills bacterial, viral, and
fungal organisms upon contact, yet leaves the good bacteria
in the body unharmed.
Garlic also acts as a natural antibiotic and antiviral agent. It
fights chronic or recurrent infections and is indicated for
those with low resistance to infection. It has a long history of
relieving the symptoms of upper-respiratory illnesses, and can
bring down inflammation in the mucus membranes of the
nose and throat.
Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol Crystals are airborne aromatics
added to the formula to clear the sinuses and open up
breathing. Their soothing vapors stimulate the opening of
respiratory and nasal passages, improving airflow and
encouraging the release of mucus.

T
here continues to be a difference of
opinion regarding the timing of Calcium
and Magnesium supplements. Some people
recommend taking them at different times of
the day. I do not. They occur together in food,
and that is how I feel your body was designed
to utilize them. There are other reasons, and
the following study provides another
explanation.
People who take vitamin D supplements
but who have low magnesium levels may not
be getting a vitamin D benefit. Without
enough magnesium, vitamin D stores in the
body remain inactive, and taking vitamin D
supplements when magnesium is low can
raise circulating calcium and phosphate levels,
possibly leading to blood vessel calcification.
When magnesium levels are good, the body
needs less vitamin D to reach adequate D
levels, and inactive vitamin D stores become
active. Also, when magnesium and vitamin D
levels are optimal, chances for bone thinning
(osteoporosis) and bone fracture are less.

T
he newspapers, magazines and TV talk
shows persist in telling us that nutritional
supplements are worthless. They try to
support their position by referencing various
negative studies. Certainly, not every study is
positive. You would not expect that to be the
case. But the tendency to totally ignore the
steady stream of positive studies showing the
therapeutic value of nutritional supplement
usage reveals a clear, unfair bias. Vitamin D is
a good example. Studies such as the the one
that follows continue to be published, and
continue to show its value.
In this first-of-its-kind study, over one year,
doctors followed 38 people recovering from
severe burns averaging 42 percent of the
surface area of the body. It turns out that
major burn injury draws on the body's vitamin
D stores, reducing vitamin D levels.
Compared to those with lower levels, those
with higher vitamin D levels were more likely
to survive, had fewer complications, faster
and more complete wound healing, and less
scarring. Those with lower vitamin D levels
were more likely to develop serious
infections.
Discussing the findings, doctors said that
clinicians treating burn patients generally
overlook vitamin D levels, and that
supplementing with high doses of vitamin D
immediately after burn injury would boost
tissue-specific antibacterial function and
improve the body's wound-healing response.
Raising the circulating level of vitamin D by
supplementing with high vitamin D doses
may greatly improve health outcomes in burn
patients.
