OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
How the immune system works:
Our immune system protects us against threats. These include viruses, bacteria and parasites causing infectious diseases, from ordinary flu to full-blown malaria. The white blood cells of the defense system are produced in the marrow of our bones. The cells are carried in the blood to specialized organs, where they develop and communicate to launch immune responses against infections. Immune responses are aggressive and must be controlled. They should be activated only when the body is threatened by disease.
To learn how to start or stop the immune system we must understand how microorganisms and sick cells are recognized by white blood cells.
Some white blood cells, like macrophages, destroy and eat bacteria and damaged cells. The B cells produce antibodies, which can neutralize viruses, bacteria or toxic proteins in the blood and other body fluids. The T cells can trace microorganisms that leave the body fluids to invade cells. Each T killer cell carries receptors for one type of foreign substance, "antigen". T cells can bind to infected cells and kill them. This can prevent spread of the microorganism within the body. But how can the T cells specifically identify or "recognize" the infected cells?
Over the last year or so many new findings have been uncovered with regard to Super Immune Supplements, Cancer Nutrition and Cell Protection Nutrients.

helps to protect against infection
identifies and removes germs
germs are either bacteria or viruses
produces antibodies and white blood cells which attack the germs
has a very strong memory ('immune memory') that enables it to recognize foreign substances that it has seen years before
this allows the body to fight germs
How immunization works:
exposing the immune system to vaccines which contain germs or parts of germs causes the immune system to respond just like it does for infection
the body makes the same antibodies it would in response to infection
immunization triggers immune memory without the risk of illness or death associated with infection. The body can fight off the specific germ if an exposure occurs
vaccines like all medicines must go through a series of steps before their use is approved for the public
vaccine safety is taken very seriously by health authorities in Canada, including the provincial and federal governments and the Canadian Paediatric Society
before a vaccine is approved for use it must be shown to be safe and effective in preventing the disease for which it is intended.

DEFINITIONS
Bacteria
microscopic organisms that are able to live on their own provided they have essential chemicals to nourish them
Viruses
microscopic organisms that are unable to live on their own
to grow and reproduce, viruses must get inside of cells
Antigens
bacteria and viruses have unique proteins and complex sugars on their surface called antigens
antigens enable the germ to stick to human cells
the immune system targets bacterial and viral antigens
White blood cells
special blood cells (T-cells) help the immune system kill germs along with antibodies
Immune system
a system in your body that helps to recognize and fight infection and foreign substances in the body
Immune memory
the immune system has a strong memory that enables it to recognize foreign substances that enter the body even if the exposure occurred many years before
immune memory is particular to specific germs and it does not mean that immune memory has been developed for all types of germs
Incubation period
the time between when a person is infected with a bacteria or virus and the onset of symptoms. This varies for each germ.
Chronic carriers
persons who carry a virus in their blood but do not have any symptoms of illness

For instance did you know?
1)Vitamin A has been ruled out as a super antioxidant in high doses and can actually be harmful and increase
cancer risk especially in smokers. Vitamin A in small doses such as in "Cell Protect" although works well with Vitamin E and other vitamins.
2)Flax Seed extracts have had good results while being tested for antioxidant performance.
3)Garlic is quickly becoming our most exciting antioxidant ingredient yet amd tests have shown that garlic
is all good and has no bad side effects. Garlic powder extract will be released in our newest "Cell Protect"
formula being released shortly.
4)Vitamin C can be used in large amounts and not be harmful but our bodies will only process set amounts for what it needs. We know this and apply this formula to the production of our super "Cell Protect" antioxidant supplement.
This is just a brief description of some facts that we have researched and uncovered throughout our antioxidant and immune system studies and hope you will choose "Cell Protect" as your daily antioxidant supplement. We offer you only the finest and purest extracts and strains in all of our supplements!
Summary: Flavonoids are compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and certain beverages that have diverse beneficial biochemical and antioxidant effects. Their dietary intake is quite high compared to other dietary antioxidants like vitamins C and E. The antioxidant activity of flavonoids depends on their molecular structure, and structural characteristics of certain flavonoids found in hops and beer confer surprisingly potent antioxidant activity exceeding that of red wine, tea, or soy.
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds that are ubiquitous in nature and are categorized, according to chemical structure, into flavonols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, catechins, anthocyanidins and chalcones. Over 4,000 flavonoids have been identified, many of which occur in fruits, vegetables and beverages (tea, coffee, beer, wine and fruit drinks). The flavonoids have aroused considerable interest recently because of their potential beneficial effects on human health-they have been reported to have antiviral, anti-allergic, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and antioxidant activities.
Antioxidants are compounds that protect cells against the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species, such as singlet oxygen, superoxide, peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. An imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species results in oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage. Oxidative stress has been linked to cancer, aging, atherosclerosis, ischemic injury, inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's). Flavonoids may help provide protection against these diseases by contributing, along with antioxidant vitamins and enzymes, to the total antioxidant defense system of the human body. Epidemiological studies have shown that flavonoid intake is inversely related to mortality from coronary heart disease and to the incidence of heart attacks.
The recognized dietary antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and some new and exciting blends of flax oils with vitamin co factors and also garlic extracts along with grape seed extracts. However, recent studies have demonstrated that flavonoids found in fruits and vegetables may also act as antioxidants. Like alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), flavonoids contain chemical structural elements that may be responsible for their antioxidant activities. A recent study by Dr. van Acker and his colleagues in the Netherlands suggests that flavonoids can replace vitamin E as chain-breaking anti- oxidants in liver microsomal membranes. The contribution of flavonoids to the antioxidant defense system may be substantial considering that the total daily intake of flavonoids can range from 50 to 800 mg. This intake is high compared to the average daily intake of other dietary antioxidants like vitamin C (70 mg), vitamin E (7-10 mg) or carotenoids (2-3 mg). Flavonoid intake depends upon the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and certain beverages, such as red wine, tea, and beer. The high consumption of tea and wine may be most influential on total flavonoid intake in certain groups of people.
