The Body's First Line of Defense
A malfunctioning immune system can cause allergies
or arthritis and can fail to stop the growth of cancer cells.

The immune system is important to cancer patients in many ways.
 
The cancer can weaken the immune system.
Cancer treatment can weaken the immune system.
The immune system may help to fight your bodies cancer.

The cancer can weaken the immune system by invading the bone marrow where the cells that
 help fight infection are made. This happens most often in leukemia or lymphoma.

But it can happen with other cancers too.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can weaken immunity by causing a drop in the number of white blood cells
 made in the bone marrow. Apart from bone marrow or stem cell transplants,
this effect on the bone marrow is temporary.

Some cells of the immune system can recognize cancer cells as abnormal and kill them. Unfortunately,
this is not enough to get rid of a cancer altogether.

Some NATURAL treatments aim to use the immune system to fight cancer.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM 122506

Women dealing with breast cancer inevitably wonder:

Did I get breast cancer because my immune system was weakened by stress, or by the wrong food?
Can my immune system fight breast cancer?

Will surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy reduce my body's ability to fight breast cancer and infections?
How can I fortify my immune system to become as healthy as possible?

How your immune system works to protect you;

The immune system responds immediately when your body encounters any threat, such as a virus or injury.

In response to such threats, the immune system produces a generalized, non-specific reaction known as inflammation.

This response is like an army artillery attack: Shells burst all over, damaging and killing all varieties of bacteria,
viruses, and other microorganisms that happen to be in range ---
including some of the body's own cells.

Key cells involved in this reaction include the white blood cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, which produce
 powerful destructive chemicals known as free radicals.
 

After the free radicals finish their work, they're turned off, and are converted into non-reactive, harmless molecules. Antioxidant vitamins are essential to this conversion process, which is why you hear a lot about free radicals
and the antioxidant vitamins A, C, D, and E.

 As the immune response continues, it becomes more specific. White cells of the blood and immune tissues, called lymphocytes, produce proteins called antibodies that selectively kill the intruding organisms.

This leaves other cells of the body undamaged. In addition, your body stores and remembers the "recipe" for the
specific antibody concoction created to destroy particular intruders, allowing for a quicker immune response
 to a similar threat in the future.

Breast cancer cells start out as normal body cells, but they begin to grow out of control because of an abnormal gene.

 The immune system plays a major role in limiting the development of these
abnormalities, often before cancer has a chance to grow.

This gets rid of many cancerous cells before they can do any harm.

Damaged, pre-cancerous cells may be a constant presence, but an ever-alert immune system takes them out
and protects us from many assaults of cancer that never get beyond the very earliest stage.

Occasionally, though, even though cells are changing from normal to abnormal, they may still appear to be normal.

Their outer appearance (proteins and other molecules on their surface) may look unchanged, even though profound
changes may be happening on the inside. In this way, these abnormal cells manage to escape attack by
the immune system and grow and multiply without triggering an immune response.

This is how it's possible for a tumor to form, even when your immune system is working normally.

Eventually, however, the tumor becomes so altered and threatening that it can no longer hide its malignant character.

The immune system is no longer fooled into recognizing these cells as normal, and launches its attack.

The attack may succeed, or it may come too late:  the tumor may be beyond the power of
the immune system by itself.

There is much more we could add --- but, let's go to the following:
                
Believe that in your hand      your future health depends! 
                  

It is critical for YOU to start doing whatever it takes to take care
of YOUR OWN HEALTH.  No one else is going to do it for you !

The cancer can weaken the immune system by invading the bone marrow where the cells that help fight
infection are made. This happens most often in leukaemia or lymphoma.

But it can happen with other cancers too.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can weaken immunity by causing a drop in the number of white blood cells made
in the bone marrow. Apart from bone marrow or stem cell transplants, this effect on the bone marrow is temporary.

Some cells of the immune system can recognise cancer cells as abnormal and kill them. Unfortunately,
this is not enough to get rid of a cancer altogether.

Some NATURAL treatments aim to use the immune system to fight cancer.

Mucous membranes that line body cavities open to the environment, such as those found in the nose and gut,
 house antibodies called immunoglobulins that ensnare pathogens and potential
antigens encountered in daily life.

Mucous membranes function as the first step in the mission of the immune system to prevent disease and infection.

Toxic invaders that sneak by the mucosal barrier are met by white blood cells called macrophages, which by a process
 called phagocytosis literally digest and destroy invaders in the blood. 

Macrophages become the body's inside line of defense responsible for seeking and indiscriminately
destroying viruses, parasites, fungus, and bacteria.

Two supplements aid and assist these defenses against disease and infection.

They are COLOSTRUM, which supplies critical immunoglobulins to block invaders at the level of the mucosal barrier,
 and BETA GLUCAN, which stimulates the action of the macrophages to phagocytize invaders in the blood stream. 

A third supplement, SEACURE aids the immune system indirectly by correcting pathogenic bowel permeability
to prevent hazards from passing through the gut membrane to infect internal organs. 

Finally, VITAMIN C is well recognized for its immune-supportive properties. 

All four of these components are combined to produce the one-of-a-kind immune booster SEAVIVE
