Tap into the power of your immune system to avoid getting sick. You and a friend step into a crowded elevator and immediately notice two people coughing and sneezing up a storm. Within a couple of days you come down with a bad cold and blame it on that elevator ride. Yet your friend, exposed to the same germs at the same time, remains perfectly healthy.

What made the difference? The power of the immune system. The strength of our immune system is what makes the difference between who stays healthy and who doesn’t. The one with the immune system functioning below normal has an increased risk of getting sick. It’s shocking how much your immune system can affect how you feel!

Who is at risk for getting autoimmune diseases? There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases and new treatments for autoimmune diseases are being studied all the time and can affect many parts of the body.  Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders; nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the USA are women.  It is not known why this is the case, although hormone levels have been shown to affect the severity of some autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. These diseases can affect connective tissue in your body (the tissue which binds together body tissues and organs).  Autoimmune diseases can be broadly divided into systemic and organ-specific or localized autoimmune disorders, depending on the principal clinic-pathologic features of each disease.  Autoimmune disorders are diseases caused by the body producing an inappropriate immune response against its own tissues.  Autoimmune disorders fall into two general types: those that damage many organs (systemic autoimmune diseases) and those where only a single organ or tissue is directly damaged by the autoimmune process (localized).

Autoimmune diseases: A group of disorders in which the primary cause is the anti inflammatory reaction caused by the bodies own immune system  attacking tissues.  Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in families and in individuals (a person with one autoimmune disease is more likely to get another), which indicates that common mechanisms are involved in disease susceptibility.  Autoimmunity is not contagious, but the genes a child inherits from parents can influence whether a child will develop autoimmune conditions.  In autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, scleroderma, pernicious anemia, myasthenia gravis, and Hashimoto's disease, specific cells uncontrollably attack the body's own tissues.  Approximately 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during the childbearing years and do not spread to other people like infections. Women have fatigue, stiffness and weakness when suffering from a autoimmune disease. There is a higher incidence of autoimmune diseases is seen in winter months as people stay indoors and the air is dry, stale & exposure to viruses indoor.

High quality liquid vitamins and nutritional supplementation is essential to make up the deficit of nutrients in our food. The transition from pill form to liquid vitamins and minerals is taking place and the wave of the future for the health industry and nutritional supplements is liquid vitamins.  These vitamins are digested as they pass through the intestinal tracts, and the step of breaking down the pills is eliminated.  Liquid Vitamins are much better absorbed than pill vitamins while pills are more taxing on your digestive system and much harder to swallow! They also help you achieve better health much faster than pill form. A recent study showed that while 98% of liquid vitamins are absorbed by your body, only 10-20% of pill vitamins are absorbed. Are you starting to see the importance of liquid vitamins and minerals?

When choosing your nutritional supplement, liquid vitamins are definitely the way to go for maximum absorption.  Why should you use a liquid supplement?  Instead of pills, which sometimes don't digest, the liquid is absorbed into the system fully.  The main reason why liquid vitamins are more effective than pills and tablets is due to the nature of their liquid base.  Medical studies have shown that pills and capsules only have a 25%-40% absorption rate at the cellular level, while liquid nutritional products exceed a 90% absorption rate.

There two main kinds of arthritis, osteo- and rheumatoid, but both are inextricably linked with nutrition. There has been a lot of research that identifies the relationship between arthritis and nutrition. Although progress in the field of arthritis and nutrition is slow, we fully expect to see further justification of these theories as medical science progresses.

Arthritis means inflammation of a joint or joints.  Arthritis is usually caused by what people eat and drink and is becoming very common in people of all ages which will probably affect 90% of people by the age of 60.  Arthritis is a poorly understood condition but some scientists believe that rheumatoid arthritis is the result of a micro-organism or other foreign substance in the body.  Arthritis is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases and becomes more prevalent as we age.  Arthritis is one of the most common chronic  conditions today, affecting as many as 100 million people worldwide.  Can the foods you eat cause or affect your arthritis?  Diet is a major role player in the onset of arthritis.  There are some scientific reasons to think that the foods you eat could affect certain kinds of arthritis.
