Building Immune response.

G'day all
First off I must preface this post with the usual: I do not treat diagnose or prescribe for any medical condition. The content of this blog is for informational purposes and hopefully, to stimulate the reader to take responsibility for their own health care decisions. After months and years of scouring the thousands of available clinical studies, popular fad diet, health, cleanse, supplement, miracle wonder working systems I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a medically proven fact regarding how the immune system works or does not work in regards to a one size fits all regime of diet, emotional and spiritual health care. There are however, a few good theories. In the first place, we are all alike, in that we are different and have differing requirements as regards our individual health and well being. That being said, what are the basics needed to develop a strong healthy immune system?
Developing an easy to follow regime of spiritual support, prayer, meditation fellowship of like minded people. Learning about your spiritual context if you have one. Find one if you don't. My primary source is Jesus and His teachings. If you are put off by Christian theology, just remember Jesus wasn't a Christian. Other wise I would suggest Gregg Braden's "The Divine Matrix" for a scientifically based exposition of spirit. His video "The Science of Miracles is a good adjunct to the book. You will learn that spirit is universal that we all have one and it needs proper nourishment, for without it, healing, maintaining well being and having a robust immune response is much more difficult, if not impossible. That covers Spirit for now. Next is the mind, as what the mind dwells upon directly affects spirit. Ways in which we nourish and strengthen the mind are many and varied. My first recommendation would be to kill your tv, as it is filled with mind altering methodologies from advertising, to manipulation of emotions through the type of programing you are drawn to. 98% of which takes place at subliminal, undetectable levels. Same with most news media, it is full fear based fear generating content. Stay away from negative people who gossip or rarely have anything good to say of another. That goes double for those who are already ill. Seek forgiveness of others you have wronged where doing so would not harm them or you, forgive those who have wronged you, as hanging on to guilt and resentment are major causes of stress. Stress is the number one enemy of a strong immune system. Now we come to nourishing the body. You will find more than adequate information further on in this blog to point you in a positive direction. Thats it for today folks.
Live love, live long, be well and prosper in the process.
