What Solitarius.org shouldn’t be preceived as… is me playing doctor, however, it’s helping patients find the right doctor. What Solitarius.org is…. is prevention, and that is something everybody should strive to achieve. In this blog post unlike the last of February which details most of the highlighted links of the website. Explaining to the visitants the where abouts to achieve greater access into this website.
Prevention starts with a strong immune system, and when you talk “super duper” immune systems; we should think “mega pill theory” to jump start that immune system. Therefore lets take a look at a daily multi vitamin and for me… one should consider a really good multi with all your daily values pushed to the max…. providing you with the boost you need to work effortlessly throughout the day.
Some of the vitamins that are essential and should be consider for this “super duper” vitamin packed immune function. With the daily value 200 mcg of selenium which provides a strong basis for the immune system to function properly. Selenium deficiencies can lead to impaired immunity, increased incidences of cancer and susceptibility to viruses. Also another vital feature in a “super duper” immune system, is also adequate levels of glutathione and depleted selenium levels will render glutathione levels ineffective.
Then you have to consider a 1, 2, 3, punch of antioxidants vitamin A, C and E. Vitamin A increases the activity of white blood cells, which attack and destroy infected cells of the body. While providing support to the immune system by maintaining adequate levels of circulating immune cells. Specifically, the T- cells, often referred to as the fighter cells. Vitamin A also protects your eyes, intestines, urinary tract and respiratory system.
Secondly, vitamin C also known as ascorbic acid is essential for the formation of adrenal hormones and production of lymphocytes. The adrenal hormones are important for protection against infections. Also vitamin C stimulates the production and function of neutrophils, a type of white blood cells that destroys bacteria. Anybody that smokes should always consider supplementing with 1000 mg of vitamin C.
Thirdly, vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents the formation of reactive oxygen molecules, which permit free radical damage. Vitamin E acting as a scavenger of toxic free radicals that damage otherwise healthy cells, vitamin E is one of the bodys primary antioxidants. Antioxidants serve protect healthy cells in the body and vitamin E is an integral part of the body’s defense system. Serving to enhance those antibody activities specifically T cell functions of fighting infectious disease.
The B vitamins: while there are eight B vitamins in all, B6 and B12 specifically impact the immune system. Since vitamin B6 is important for fat and protein metabolism, a deficiency causes altered metabolic processes. Low levels of vitamin B6 can lead to reduced activity of white blood cells necessary for fighting infections in your body.
While vitamin B12 plays an important role in your body…. as we age levels diminish because of our body’s inability to absorb this key vitamin as well. Vitamin B12 is important for it’s role in cell growth, division and also responsible for it’s ability to help the white blood cells to destroy infectious organisms. Also Vitamin B6 is important for development and maintainance of a healthy immune system, and a deficiency can also lead to a shrinkage of the thymus, a critical immune system organ.
Another key aspect is Telomerase Activity of a human cell, which can be compared to as a wick in a candle. Once that wick in the candle is shortened the candle burns out and it’s life expectancy with it. According to Dr. Barry Sears, you can maintain high levels of omega – 3 fatty acids in your blood for a longer period of time; it appears that you get decreased telomere shortening and this should help you live a longer healthier life.
Telomore activity has been measured in a wide variety of cancerous activity and non – cancerous tissue types. With a vast majority of clinical studies having shown a direct correlation between it and the presence of cancerous cells. Telomerase plays a key role in cellular immorality and tumorigenesis. Telomerase is activated in 80 – 90% of human carcinomas, but not in normal somatic cells, therefore, it’s detection holds promise as a diagnostic marker for cancer.
