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.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements The following study looked at the effects of omega-3 oils (EPA/DHA) and vitamin E on menstrual pain. T he body naturally produces hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which help smooth muscle contract and relax; blood vessels dilate and contract, and can cause inflammation. Doctors believe there is a link between prostaglandins and painful uterine contractions during menstruation. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory, and vitamin E suppresses the production of prostaglandins. In this study, 100 women, age 18 to 25, took a daily dose of 180 mg EPA plus 120 mg DHA from fish oil, 200 IU of vitamin E, the omega-3s and vitamin E together, or a placebo. After eight weeks, while the placebo group did not improve, those taking omega-3s or vitamin E alone had some improvement, but women taking omega-3s plus vitamin E reported the greatest relief from menstrual pain. Reference: Gynecological Endocrinology; March, 2018, 1450377, Published Online Note: Significantly higher potency EPA/DHA fish oil omega-3 supplements are now available, and should be tried if 180 mg EPA and 120 mg DHA seems insufficient. This is currently thought to be a very low dose for therapeutic purposes. We suggest a natural vitamin E, with mixed tocopherols, at 200 IU or higher. Nutrients Relieve Menstrual Pain V itamin D has been the focus of much attention in recent years, even from those in conventional medicine. Most doctors now include vitamin D levels in routine blood chemistry scans. Conditions thought to be related to inadequate vitamin D levels include not only bone health, but also immune health, various types of cancer, etc. One reason for this interest is the reduced exposure to sunlight (and increased use of sun screen products) because of our fear of skin cancer. What about children? Is there a relationship between adequate vitamin D levels and children's cholesterol levels? Doctors aren't sure of the link between vitamin D and lipids in children, but imbalanced lipids are appearing more frequently in the young, perhaps due to unfavorable changes in diet and exercise. In this study, doctors measured vitamin D levels and lipid profiles in 512 children, aged six to eight. Children whose vitamin D levels were higher than 32 nanograms per milliliter of blood (ng/mL) had lower total cholesterol levels and lower LDL-the "bad"-cholesterol levels, compared to children whose vitamin D levels fell below 20 ng/mL-the level many doctors believe is the minimum for sufficiency. Other factors might influence the relationship of vitamin D to cholesterol including genetic and hereditary factors, body fat mass, diet, physical activity, parental education, and time of year of the vitamin D blood sample, but none of these factors changed the link between higher vitamin D levels and lower cholesterol levels.
