IMMUNE SYSTEM
The Fundamental Of Health
Our immune system can be equated to the army troop. It is used for protecting our body from external pathogenic attacks.

What is immune system?
When external diseases attack our body, our body’s various hypo functions will start to take preventive measures. These hypofunctions in short is called immune system. So what are external diseases? Simplistic speaking, then mean the external diseases that exist every where including hiding in the bacteria, virus, on the doorknob, escalator, beneath our nails, in our soap, computer mouse etc.
The origin of bodily immune system is the bone marrow or the place where the body produce white blood cells. These white blood cell are the supporting backbone for the immune system and they usually flow in the blood stream and lymphatic system. How Does The Immune System Operate?
In our blood stream, there are the white blood cell and red blood cell. Most of the white blood cell are the immunity cell. The white blood cells can be divided into two type namely:
1.Swallowing the cell :Responsible for normal protecting job.

2. Lymphatic cell :Responsible for anti-virus and germs.
- When external substances such as germs and virus attack our body, the immune system will send white corpuscles to do engulfing job to protect our body.
- Unfortunately, certain viruses will know how to identify the virus and they will camouflage by becoming part of our internal body needs to send lymphatic cells to do elimination job.

Lymphatic cell are like the army troop ; a healthy body has about 1 billion lymphatic cells and they are especially useful in combating the virus in certain parts of our organs. The most important “weapons” used by lymphatic cells are interferences.


Three Main Functions Of Immune System
-Defending :For anti-virus, germs, contaminants

-Metabolism :Helps in toxic and waste substances metabolism

-Repairing :Repairs the damaged cells or part of the body tissues

Most of our illnesses/diseases are relate to the malfunction of the immune system. When the immune system is in trouble, it will not have its proper defending and anti-virus abilities


Chinese Medicine & Immune System
In TCM, there is a saying:” hen the body is stored with right qi, the evil energy will not invade.” So when we are healthy, we can ward of diseases. And when we suffer from fever or pain, it means the immune system is fighting against the virus and germs.
-The ability of the body to fight against external viruses/germs is called:” right qi.”
-The external enemies of our body are all known as the “evil qi.”

Theoritically, the evil qi cannot win the righteous qi, the right qi that dominates will always win. However, If this war zone is not properly managed, the advantages will be discounted. When our immune system is out of disorder, the right qi will become weak and then invaded by the evil qi. External weather changed such as the temperature, dampness will influence the invasion of the evil qi. Modern medical researches have already invented a type of right qi for our body to ward of the evil qi. This is the new anti-diseases vaccine.
About 20 years ago, when AIDS start to spread throughout the would, human being started to research on related immune system and contagious diseases. The scientists then discovered that it is insufficient to rely on just a vaccine. In the one hand they try to improve the war zone condition so that the right qi dominates.

Natural Health Food &Immune System
-In proper function, the immune system can prevent pathogens and anti contaminants, viruses and germs from attacking our body.
-Good immune system is more effective then medicine.
-Immune system does not rely on chemical substances.
-Natural health food is excellent natural therapy food.
-Lack of proper diet will influence our immune system function.
-The worldwide medical researches have discovered that propolis is the best antibiotic. Its is flavones can enhance our immunity.
-Lingzhi contains organic germanium, triglycerides, polysaccharidse, etc that are essential for activating blood and ward of stasis , detoxification, cleanses the blood, replenishes bodily energy, calms the nerves, activates the cells and anti-oxidants, anti-ageing, anti-cancer and is indeed the best herd for strengthening our immune system.
-Cordyceps can enhance the corpuscles cells anti-oxdant ability , and the anti-oxidant content is 50 times higher than vitamin C. The anti-oxidant function and anti-free radical function can help to protect cell membranes. Hence, can protect cell membranes. So it has anti-cancer and retarding ageing functions too.

UNVEIL THE SECRETS OF LIVER FUNCTION INDEX

Recently a medical doctor(age 37) from University Hospital of Taipei has been found to rely too much on GOT/GPT index to determine the function of the liver. He has examined a patient suffering from liver cancer with the growth size of 10 cm !
Why this happened? Most people think when the index of liver is functioning ok, this is indeed a wrong perception.
Experiments have show that most patients are intrigued by the liver function index. The same happens to many medical experts and specialists. Hence, I would like to discuss this topic so that it will serve as a guideline for your future reference.
In fact, we must really take necessary preventive measure to guard our livers. Early examination and early treatments are prerequisite requirements for liver health. Since few decades ago, researches in small scale liver cancers have determined that the good and bad conditions of the liver cannot solely rely on GOT/GPT indices. Unfortunately, development in liver research still stick to this dogma.
Today, liver diseases are already becoming once of the major killers of human life. With the current limitation of knowledge on liver, doctors realize that many patients died due to innocence on the liver disease knowledge.
Once there was a patient who have been suffering from stomach pain for a month and his weight has reduced by almost half the original weight. After ultrasonic scan, it was noticed that there was a growth in the liver which was cancer and almost 80% of his liver had been eaten up. The patient was astounded and yelled: “Why this is possible ? “ Then he went for examination last year and was found to be normal. So he wondered how come the liver can develop the cancer in just a year’s time?
Later it was discovered that actually he only did liver function examination and the results proved to be positive. Well, this from of examination is well known among public and was regarded as the most intricate and profound one. Most of us will treat positive indices shown in the GOT/GPT tabulation means our liver is all right. The result prove to be the other way: death toll due to liver cancer keep on increasing.
Usually GOT/GPT contain the most enzymes in the liver cells. If hepatitis occurs or that liver cell are damaged, then the damaged GOT/GPT will flow away and lead to higher GOT/GPT level in the blood stream.
Well, when the GOT/GPT index is not high, it does not mean that the patients do not suffer from hardening of liver or liver cancer. When hardening of liver or liver occur, the patients will easily suffer from liver cancer.
Apart from that, early liver cancer also will not shown high liver index. This is because the growth of liver cancer only confines to area around the liver cancer and damage of liver cells will occur when they are being suppressed. So the GOT/GPT will still look normal. Even if the lever is high, it will still not very high. Many of us do not have ample knowledge not this and that is where the tragedies occur.
There are few factors leading to liver problems:
1.Sleep late and wake up early.
2.No feces excretion in the morning.
3.Over eating
4.Do not take breakfastà Over exhaust and not aware.
5.Taking too many medicines.
6.Taking preservatives, additives, colorants.
7.Not taking appropriate oils (such as salad oil that is unstable oil ).
8.Seldom take fresh food is harmful to liver. The vegetables that are fried must be eaten by the same day and do not try to eat overnight food.
9.Wrong attitude and do not have passion on love and peace.
10. Tension and emotional.
If you do not want to spend money on taking care of liver, then you must heed on your daily life style and diets. Food therapy and time therapy will enable our body to properly absorb and detoxify at appropriate time.
# 9-11 PM: This is the time for lymphatic detoxification. During this time, you must quietly listen to the music. If a mother still worry and spend time on washing plate and teaching the children to study, then they will hurt her health.
# 11 PM-1 AM: Liver detoxification and you must sleep well.
# 1.00 AM-3.00 AM-Gall Bla-Dder detoxification.
# 3.00 AM-5.00 AM-Lung detoxification. The person who coughs will have extreme coughing during this time. This is because detoxification work runs to lung meridians. Do not try to take anti-coughing medicines in order to avoid suppression of accumulated wastes substances elimination.
# 5.00 AM-7.00 AM: Large intestine detoxification. This is the right time for feces excrement.
# 7.00 AM-9.00 AM: Small intestine absorbs a lot of nutrients and this is the hours that we must take breakfast. For illness recovery, take earlier at 6.30AM.For healthcare take at 7.30AM.
Apart from that, from midnight till 4.00 AM is the hours where our backbone undergo blood producing. So we must have sound sleep during this time.
As many people today have different time formats for rest and work, so they have also altered the time for sleep and wake up. When they have understood the above biorhythm, then they know how serious if our organs do not undergo detoxification at appropriate time. So treasure your liver from now on!

DON’T TAKE ICE !

If we do not take breakfast, it will definitely influence the level of our daily energy. The most direct impact is on the function of the stomach. However, the worse is if you take ice in the morning that is very hazardous! Do you know why?
In all the areas of our stomach especially the stomach walls, after a night’s rest, it must properly taken care of, so if cool ice is taken, it will call hardening to the stomach mucus membrane and wall tissues to get hardened.
Though you may not have basic knowledge of the stomach, I am sure you can understand at least 80 to 90%.
Anyone at all if open the refrigerator in the morning, his pores may react and one may suffer from flu.
If coffee is added, then it may also harm the nervous system and gastro-intestinal tracts. However, remember not to take cold coffee in the morning. If you want, just take the hot one!
Clinical experiment of TCM show that many young girls try to take cold food, cola or icy red tea in the daily life eventually will cause disruption to the menses, ageing of the womb is speeded up, and when they are 18, they may start to suffer from menopause!
In fact, the womb of a girl must be kept warm enough. This is the major distinct between a man and a woman.
As the womb of a woman must be kept warm, when we eat ice , the temperature of the womb will be reduced.
During this time, our brain will instruct the fats to protect the womb.
Hence, if we take a lot of ice, the fats will accumulate in our stomach!
Apart from that, long-term consumption of ice will cold the womb and makes a woman unable to conceive or difficult to conceive!
