Immune Support and Allergies
A Manifestation of Inflammation

by Rick Wagner

 
Last month I was on the radio show Forever Young with Jim Evans discussing the new blood measurements for heart and artery health when we received a call from a woman from Santee (California) regarding our Immune Support. She said quote:

"I just wanted to praise Rick for the wonderful product that he created. I have been using the Immune Support since November and it has helped me tremendously. I have asthma and have had numerous infections. Since I’ve been taking the Immune Support I haven’t caught the flu and when my husband had pneumonia I took care of him and didn't catch it from him. Another plus; I’ve been on prednisone for 15 years and I no longer have to take the prednisone. It is just a miracle, miracle product."

I was astounded to say the least. I had formulated our Immune Support to deal with colds, flu, and bacterial infections. The concept of it working to reduce the incidence of asthma did not even occur to me, but after researching asthma, it has become crystal clear that allergies and asthma are related to an overactive immune system. In fact, both of these issues are inflammatory responses to the invasion of foreign substances like viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi as well as other organic food compounds, pollen and dust. After an in-depth look at allergies, asthma, and allergic response mechanism in the body, I think I now have a rudimentary understanding of the processes involved. In fact, it seems like an allergic response is our immune system at work when dealing with certain types of invading pathogens. An interesting aspect of all this is that an allergic response by the body could be equal to in damage or more deadly than the normal nonviolent response by the immune system.
 
The Allergic Response
My research has led me to the following description of what happens.
1. Antigens - are anything foreign which may invade the body including:

  • Some carbohydrates as food
  • Bacteria
  • Fungi and mold
  • Parasites
  • Viruses
  • Pollen
  • Dust
  • Dander

Your body will either kill them, be overcome by them, or overreact to them.

2. Allergens - Describe any of the above organisms which will cause an overreaction by the immune system.

3. Antibodies - Particularly the IgE antibody will bond to allergens in an attempt to subdue them. When we are overrun by allergens, a secondary defense mechanism is activated.

4. Basophiles and Mast Cells - Types of white blood cells that are stimulated to release histamine when the allergen bound to the antibody IgE binds to them. When histamines are released, we experience an allergic reaction. This reaction can be quite sudden but can also be slow in developing. Acute rapid responses are exhibited by the body in the form of sneezing, runny nose, stuffy sinuses, or more serious constriction of essential air passageways into the lungs, such as asthma.  Having personally experienced asthma, I can assure you it can be quite dangerous and terrifying to say the least. The less critical allergic responses are no fun either.
 
Treatment
A method of treatment for allergic response, prior to Eidon’s Immune Support, has been to take antihistamines to reduce the inflammatory response caused by the release of histamines by mast cells. We either take antihistamines as a response to an allergic reaction (to suppress the immune system response) or our doctor prescribes drugs such as “Prednisone,” whose role in the body is to suppress the immune system. This to me is totally the opposite of natural logic. Rather than restricting the body’s natural defenses, we should be trying to make sure these defenses are working according to the manner in which nature provided.
 
Eidon’s Immune Support is a natural method of keeping the immune system functioning optimally.  An immune system that is functioning sub-optimally due to the lack of or excessive amounts of essential minerals is the root cause of illness caused by invading organisms. This is manifested via inadequate response (flu, cold, or other disease) or an excessive response (allergy or asthma). In either case, it is a faulty immune system which is causing the problem.
 
Our blend of Zinc, Selenium, Sulfur, and Silver has been designed to maintain ones immune system in a well functioning state. This dramatically reduces the probability of becoming ill in the first place.
 
The beauty of this formula is that it is comprised of the elemental building blocks of life in a completely nontoxic, flavorless, liquid drink.

If you suffer from allergies or asthma each year, do yourself an incredible favor and begin supplementing with Eidon’s Immune Support. You will be amazed at the results you achieve.
