Yet another substance that we have woefully underestimated, due to not using it in its best variety, nor in the best delivery form. That the gubmt is trying to place such products under the auspices of big pharm should tell you all you need to know, as they really do want us to have access to affordable, and readily available healing agents, right? --T.

So far so good. He has been quite healthy and seems to be avoiding sickness though he is often around it. But I will give further observations in a few more months. (I decided on astragalus root because it seemed to keep one of my small children well though the whole family was sick a few years ago. I had been giving it to him regularly to prevent lyme disease after a nasty tick bite. He didn't get Lyme disease or anything else that fall! )
Of interest is that he was stung by a wasp yesterday. Normally he reacts pretty badly to them. However, after the initial sting, he had very little reaction.
I suspect the astragalus root has been helpful to his immune system.
Of course, it won't do to take astragalus root once there is a sting. It is something to use more as a preventative.
My son is a big guy. I give him 2 capsules once or twice a day. (Basically, whenever I cross paths with him I hand him 2 capsules of astragalus! )

Astragalus is a great immune boost, & tonic. You can get slices of dried astragalus root at Chinese groceries and some health-food stores. Simmer the slices in tea or soups (they'll add a pleasant sweet taste). Or buy extracts of astragalus in liquid, capsule or tablet form. Follow the dosing directions on the package. This herb is nontoxic and can be used long-term to increase resistance.

I have had great results for constipation with the camels milk. Chrinic constipation resolved within 3 days.
But it apparently is good for autism, diabetes and other immune problems.

Hi Francisca, I have also heard this and read it in many places. Many years ago I was convinced enough to go dairy free for my asthma. It was absolutely free not even a piece of cake/bread or any food that I did not know every ingredient. Young with lots of energy in those days. At that time my apparent problems were asthma which was getting worse and small amount of eczema. After about 3 months I gave it up as neither had improved at all and started getting painful legs.
My opinion now is that raw is best and some of the processed products are dead eg. Long life milk. Also due to the way farming is done dairy products lack magnesium so the more dairy we eat the more magnesium we need to take. Farmers are not paid any extra for mineral content in their produce. I am also seeing people who had no problems with raw milk now have problems (itching skin and stuffy nose) with the processed milk but who are now able to have the processed A2 milk and with no problems. Interesting that most of these same people don't have problems with small servings of cheese and real yoghurt. My girlfriends son is truly allergic to dairy if he even touches the outside of the plastic wrapper he gets an immediate rash. This is just my opinion of my personal experience and observation of some other folk.

There seems to be a campaign to demonise foods these days, but I object! . What is causing our problems is more to do with what mankind has done to the original foods. Pastuerising milk has made it difficult to digest (damaged enzymes) and homogenising it has enabled the, now tiny, fat particles to enter the bloodstream without proper digestion. What we call wheat, has its own manmade problems. Of course the pesticides and herbicides on all non-organic foods do nothing for our health.

General Feedback
When we are busy directing our energy to treating the 'specifically named disease', focusing on the basic symptomology and the like, perhaps we are missing the obvious. Perhaps the proverbial horse has left the barn.
What if the core issue is the building-up of general immunity? Respecting, resting, and restoring soils that grow foods of greater strength, is one place to begin. Nutritional supplements, herbs, oils, exercise, sunshine, and 'focusing on the good' also have place within this 'general health-building' protocol.
Native peoples who ate raw or wild foods, including Eskimos who ate only raw meat, seemed to display great joy, super immunity, great strength, and an almost complete lack of degenerative disease --as though it was unheard of alltogether.
I think it would pay handsomely to try to get to the root of the matter, not of each of 'my diseases', but of immunity as a single-eyed goal. The core of healing is health; pursue health, not 'disease', good and not evil, and we may find we are on the right, good road, already.
We are all, ultimately, together, one. I'm so glad we're all here helping one another. There is great power in working together for good, just as with evil. It is the same principle at play. Only the results are much happiness. -('Yahsha' in Hebrew; Strongs Conc. H#3467)

... And with the weakened immune system comes the big C (cancer). Also fallow my post (here on E.C. somewhere) on stimulating the Thymus Gland (as it becomes progressively inactive w/ age). Also, the psychological aspect of health is very often personal FEAR. Anita Moorjani, a cancer survivor as a result of an NDE testifies that she gave herself cancer by living in fear for many yrs. After having visited the other side she came back healed and fearless, enjoying her health and life.

Like what is being said about seeking the cure, not simply treating symptoms. Look for the good, not the evil. Thank you, Wayfarer.

Immune System Stimulation
1- Iodide potassium stimulates macrophage activity. 2- Alpha and beta gluca are also very good immune stimulator. 3-L-arginine and L-Citrillune stimulates the murine macrophage by the production of NO. 4-lPS( lipopolysaccharide) stimulates murine macrophage activity.
The question is what is LPS and we can find them or buy them as supplement? I appreciate your help.

LPS (lipopolysaccharide) is a component of the bacterial cell wall which the body recognizes as foreign and mounts an immune response. Injections of LPS into the blood can cause an immune response much like the response your body mounts when you have a bacterial infection (anorexia, lethargy, vomiting, decreased protein synthesis). I would not recommend using this "as a supplement" as your question had suggested.

L-Glutamine
★★★★★
Some of you with chronic broad spectrum antibiotic use have helped destroy your most potent ally in immune system response. The lowly mid gut bacteria..L-glutamine helps create a favorable environment for mid gut bacteria to flourish.
The response to first dose was incredible for me, as within 45 min I was sneezing and blowing snot (chronic allergic rhinitis). As an added bonus I started to gain muscle mass from normal work routine. No body building at all.
I take.1/4 tsp powder 1x day directly in mouth and allow it to mix with saliva and swallow. but you can add to water drink or shake. My impression is its tasteless. Some high end grocery stores (heb market) or online stores or body building storefront will have l-glutamine powder in 2.2 pound containers. This 2.2 pound container has lasted me over a year. Works well with acidophilus lactobacilli and probiotics for bacterial gut imbalance and Magnesium Ascorbate for a full spectrum immune response. I enjoy the benefit of l-glutamine, May it be you will also.

I have had low neutrophils over the past 7 years..... Overall my white blood count is just above the lower range. I am seeking help from anyone who can help me.... My dr seems to think I have nothing to worry about as my WBC is in the normal range.... I am stressed about it and any advice would be appreciated....

David, can I suggest that you research spirulina.. There are studies showing it increased white blood count.
Also here is an excellent ebook on chorella and spirulina... A must read. Everyone should be taking these "Superfoods"... they are better than supplements.

I am a firm believer that stress and anxiety can affect our well being.... I notice with me when I am depressed my immune system suffers... I have been taking lithium orotate for approx 12 months and that has definitely made me more positive and increased by cell count.....
Master Tonic
Master Tonic Ingredients:
1 part fresh chopped garlic cloves
1 part fresh chopped white onions
1 part fresh grated ginger root
1 part fresh grated horseradish root
1 part fresh chopped Cayenne peppers, Jalapenos, Serranos, Habeneros... any combination of the hottest peppers available.
Preparation:
Fill a jar 3/4 of the way full with equal parts of the above ingredients. Then fill to the top with raw apple cider vinegar. (Remember all ingredients need to be fresh and organic if possible.)
Close and shake vigorously and then top off with vinegar again if necessary.
This tonic will take approximately 14 days to come to its full potential. Shake it whenever you walk by or at least once a day!
Usage:
Strain liquid from solids with either cheesecloth or a strainer into an 8 oz. Glass. (Note: the solid ingredients retain almost the same potency as the liquid therefore, they can be pureed and used in salad dressings, as marinades, etc.)
Dosage:
1/2 to 1oz. , 2 or more times daily, gargle and swallow.
Storage:
Keep this tincture in a dark place as light will deteriorate it. You can put the jar in a brown paper bag for the brewing and shaking process. Tinctures last indefinitely while herbs lose their potency within a year. Also, tinctures enter the body in seconds.
Cheers everyone and stay healthy! Lisa

Hi Lisa.... Thanks for your formula. I had ran across something similar to yours, but it didn't have the ginger or onions. OMGosh, the stench was so strong and I could only take it a couple of times because it was so hot. I ended up throwing mine out. It was that bad. Your formula sounds way better than mine. "))
My daughter gave me a recipe that she got from her friend that works at a garlic farm. I thought I would post it along with yours. You're suppose to take a tsp at a time.... I don't think it matters how often during the day. Mine is sitting on the counter "curing".
You fill a jar (mason, pickle jar, etc. ) 3/4 full of peeled garlic cloves (my salsa jar took 7 heads of garlic). Then fill half way with honey and the rest of the jar with clean water. Shake gently to mix. Put on lid and on counter for at least a week. Gently roll the jar top to bottom, bottom to top several times every couple of days. Garlic stays in the jar.

Hi Sue, Thanks for sharing your garlic/ honey recipe. I think I'll give that a go. Sounds easy enough and very effective. And just so you know, the Master Tonic recipe I gave is super hot too! I'm sure that's what makes it so effective! But one recommendation is to add it to something so it's getting into your body but not so intense. You could add it to soup broth. I make my own bone broth during the cold months which is recommended by Weston Price protocol. It's very healing and soothing to the stomach. I started doing that after I had my stem cell therapy to support it. Anyway, then you could add the master tonic to it and it would give it a zing! One other recommendation is, after swallowing it down, chase it with a bit of toast with honey on it. Maybe these tips might help so you don't have to throw it out again ;) Best to you, Lisa

After I read your post, I said to myself, "duh, Sue" lol. Thanks, Lisa, will give it another try. After posting the recipe, my daughter reread the instructions and told me that you only leave the garlic/honey on the counter for a couple of days, then put it in the refrigerator. You can leave it for up to a yr. And when you feel yourself "starting to come down with something", eat the garlic cloves along with the honey. We both had to throw our batches out because ours had sat out on the counter for a couple of weeks. They might have been fine, but I thought, wouldn't it be ironic something that was suppose to help us, might make us sick. Lesson learned. "))

Hi Sue, You're too funny! Well, I can easily eat the garlic cloves since I'm a big fan. I do have to say I got very carried away about a month ago. My husband and I went to one of our very favorite ramen houses where they will serve you a container of raw garlic cloves for free to add to your ramen if you wish. Of course, as usual, I asked for them. They also give you a garlic press with them. I proceeded to press garlic cloves and it just tasted so good, I kept adding more and more. Well, by that night my stomach was a wreck and it lasted well into the next day as well. My intestines hurt so bad I couldn't even eat. Lesson learned!
Anyway, as far as your recipe goes, I don't think it would have gone bad sitting on your countertop as honey is a natural preservative. I do know though, that if preserving garlic cloves in olive oil, that must be refrigerated.
Wishing you the best during this holiday season! Stay healthy Sue! Lisa

Hi Everyone, Three days ago I posted the Master Tonic recipe for keeping our immune system strong especially during this time of year and the holiday season when people seem to have colds and flu all around. I wrote it all out but I know many people can be overwhelmed when just reading something like this recipe so I thought I'd give a link to a video of someone actually making it. For some, visual is easier than reading and I think this recipe is worth using. So, here is the link for the Master Tonic:
