Natural Immune Boosters

Glutathione

Glutathione is the body'd best antioxidant.  It has been shown to increase the lifespan of immune cells, specifically B-cells and T-cells.  This means extended antibody production and direct viral-killing effects.

Take 500 mg/day of reduced glutathione on an empty stomach.

CoQ10

Ubuiquinol CoQ10 is the second most potent natural antioxidant.  Higher blood levels of CoQ10 enhances the immune system's direct viral-killing effects.

Take 200 mg/day.

Vitamins E & C

Everybody knows about vitamins E and C.  The immune system effects of these two vitamins are well documented and supported by several clinical studies.  They work together with glutathione to activate B-cells and T-cells.

Take 400 IU/day of E and 2000 mg/day of C.

Zinc & Selenium

Zinc and selenium are natural immune boosting minerals that increase antibody production by activating B-cells.  Antibodies bind to the flu virus and kill it. 

Take 50 mg/day of zinc and 250 mcg/day of selenium.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that supports cellular health and function. In human cell culture studies, it has been shown to block the manufacture and release of inflammation-causing substances, which can help support a healthy immune response to seasonal viruses.

Additionally, quercetin helps to reduce sinus congestion, making it tough for viruses to enter your body.  Take 500 mg/day of a quercetin extract.

Grapeseed Extract

The seeds from grapes contain natural immune boosters that enhance the first-line of defense: natural-killer cells (NK cells).  NK-cells are responsible for orchestrating "search & destroy" missions. They circulate throughout the vascular system searching for foreign invaders and killing them upon contact.

Take 500 mg/day of grapeseed extract.

Beta Glucan

A type of fiber, beta glucan can also enhance the function of NK-cells, the first-line of defense.  The carbohydrate part of the fiber attaches to invading flu viruses and acts like a "tracker beam" for immune cells to follow.  Coated in fiber, the flu virus can't hide and is easily killed.

Take 100 mg/day of beta glucan fibers.

Melatonin

The last natural immune booster is the hormone melatonin.  Not only does melatonin regulate sleep cycles, but it also manages the immune system's communication mechanisms.  Immune cells need melatonin to coordinate an attack by regulating the release of cytokines (protein molecules).

Take 5 to 10 mg at bedtime.

How do I get my hair and nails to be stronger?

How do I get my hair and nails to not be so brittle?

I already take:

Super Omegas (borage, fish oil, and flaxseed oil)
Hair Skin and nail vitamins (which contain msm and biotin)
Iron
Prenatal Vitamins

Yet none of this stuff is working for me. My nails are still super brittle. I don't use an overlay on them, because I work with food (cook) that is out of the question. Is there any thing different that I can try or should I just give up? I am so close to giving up and becoming a man...j/p lol.
I don't drink a lot of milk because I think it's gross.

the rest are all ok.

The liver has amazing powers of regeneration. To undo fatty liver, abstain from alcohol and eat sensibly.

Liver supplements don’t seem to offer protection
Milk thistle products contain silymarin, which has shown to be good for the liver in high doses but hasn’t proved effective when taken orally. At a time when so many people are trying to clean out their systems with detoxifying pads, pills and gadgets, let's take a moment to honor the liver, the best detox device a body can have.

Organic GoJi Berries - A Wolf Of A Berry!

Happy Friday morning from www.FloridaHerbHouse.com and www.SharpWebLabs.com!!  It is a rainy, rainy, day here in central Florida so what better time to discuss one of our best selling berries, the "Goji Berry". First lets get the misconceptions off the table. For all those sites claiming the "Ultimate Miracle" from their magic goji please beware. As the goji does in fact have some fascinating nutrients which we will discuss here one should not be mislead by false claims from people just looking for the quick sale. Also note for the best health benefits from the gojiberry one should purchase the berries whole and organic if at all possible as opposed to the much publized ready to drink and mostly diluted goji juices. Many of these juices are diluted and contain non organic goji berries which may have been subjected to pesticides and other fertilizers.

The scientific name for goji berry also known as "wolfberry" is Lycium barbarum, and the popularly used name "goji" from the common Chinese name for the berry. Some claim there are two forms of the berry namely Lycium barbarum and Lycium chinense, whose fruit is called the goji berry; other sites insist there is only one species, Lycium barbarum. Claims for more than one or two species may be just marketing ploys. The exact origin of the goji plant is unknown, and although goji berries are reportedly grown in several different areas of the world, any goji berries you purchase will most likely come from China, where the berry has been used in traditional herbal medicine for about two thousand years.

The goji berry has been used as a medicinal food for thousands of years, and has been studied extensively in modern times for its health benefits. With over 15% protein, 21 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and one of the highest amounts of beta carotene, the goji berry is a nutrient-dense superfood in a class all its own. Perhaps the most important nutrient in goji berries though is its polysaccharides, most notably the lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). Studies show that LBP polysaccharides are exceptional sources of the essential cell sugars necessary for proper immune function and inter cellular communication. These polysaccharides can enhance health in a variety of ways, including helping cancer patients rebuild their natural defenses, improving DNA restoration and repair, and maintaining normal cell growth; and they may help slow the aging process.

Try a small handful of goji berries in your health drink, on your salad, in your tea, in your muffins or pies, or included in any drink/food recipe! See for yourself how much better you will feel after 2 weeks of using these amazing berries on a daily basis!
You can get our organic certified goji berries on sale now at our Florida Herb House in Port Orange, FL or online 24/7.

cleanse detox herbal
Three days ago I was having sex and my only protection was birth control. At this moment I am....?

Beginning to take pills that are involved in a 'complete body cleanse' detox and most of it is herbal pills. I heard that BIRTH CONTROL (I take YAZ) can be affected while taking some herbal pills. I will not be sexually active again for another month and this detox is only 2 weeks worth of pills..... Though: SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING? If you have any reasoning or advice PLEASE tell me before I continue on with this detox. THANKS!!
I just took the first night of pills though what do I do??
Please I NEED to know what to do!
Please I NEED to know what to do!

Go to a pharmacist with the bottle of herbal treatments and ask; only they will know definitely for sure. Without knowing the exact contents of what you are taking, I cannot give you a definite answer. I have never heard of birth control being affected by herbal treatments, only by antibiotics (I have been on antibiotics for six months and my birth control routine got messed up really bad!)

I don't know what else to tell you, except to go talk to a pharmacist at the local pharmact with the eact contents of your herbal treatment.

Amazon Herbs That Can Help Save Lives

The Amazon rainforest is situated in South America and is also known to be the largest of its kind covering over seven million square kilometers in size. In the Amazon rainforest, you can find many types of herbs, fruits and vegetables that have not been heard of or ever seen by mankind. However, there are also a number of Amazon herbs that are used today for different types of cures and health boosters.

Different Types of Amazon Herbs

There are Amazon herbs that cure a large variety of illnesses from life threatening diseases to minor injuries. Amazon herbs are used for weight loss purposes as well as for improving the skin appearance by curing acne and other skin diseases. Most natural herbs will help your body and immune system to recover from a disorder or illness, and strengthening it in the process. Natural herbs do not cause side effects generally, but it is still recommended you consult a doctor before you start any herbal treatment.

Where do Dou Find Amazon Herbs

The best place to look for these Amazon herbs is natural stores and homeopathic centers where you will also have the possibility to consult a doctor for a proper consultation and prescription of herbs. Natural herbs do not really cause side effects but you may have a reaction if administered at the same time with contraindicated medications. Therefore, you should never self-medicate especially if it is for a serious disease or medical disorder. Usually having herbal tea in order to sleep well or help your digestive system is quite a safe thing to do. However, starting an herbal treatment for a life threatening disease without a doctor's advice can cause you more damage than benefits even if it is a pure natural herb cure.

Things to Remember When Using Natural Remedies

It is important to remember that natural remedies always work with your body. And whether it is an Amazon herb or one from China it may take longer than you planed to obtain visible results, during which time you must be patient and follow the herbal treatment as indicated.

Stopping a treatment halfway because you don't see any results or you stop it because you feel better can in turn eliminate its effects and you may have to start the treatment all over again from the beginning. Listen to your body intimately, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits as well as exercise regularly for a healthier, longer and richer life.
