14. Basic Immune Function • The immune system protects you in three different ways: • It creates a barrier that prevents bacteria and viruses from entering your body. • If a bacteria or virus does get into the body, the immune system tries to detect and eliminate it before it can make itself at home and reproduce. • If the virus or bacteria is able to reproduce and starts causing problems, your immune system is in charge of eliminating it.

15. Did you know… • Children raised in highly sterile homes have more problems with allergies, asthma, colds & flu—their immune systems are weaker? • The overuse of antibacterial products causes germs to develop resistance faster than controls can be discovered? • Children will receive at least 27 dosages of 14 vaccines, before the age of 2, with up to 6 shots given at a time? (Sources- Center for Disease Control, ”What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Children’s Vaccinations” Stephanie Cave,MD and St. Jude’s Research Hospital October 2009 study on antibacterial products)

16. Did you know… • There is an obvious link between the epidemic of developmental delays, autoimmune disease and the increasing number of mandatory vaccines given to children? • The place with the highest risk for catching an infection is a hospital? (Sources- Center for Disease Control, ”What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Children’s Vaccinations” Stephanie Cave, MD and St. Jude’s Research Hospital October 2009 study on antibacterial products)

17. Elderberry Facts During a 6-day study, Dr. Madeline Mumcuoglu of the Hadassah Hebrew University found that elderberry “disarmed” the neuraminidase enzyme, which flu viruses use to penetrate healthy cells. WITHIN 24 HOURS WITHIN 48 HOURS WITHIN 3 DAYS 20 PERCENT 70 PERCENT 90 PERCENT Note: Subjects receiving the placebo required six days to recover.

18. How Elderberry Works • Flu viruses are covered by tiny protein spikes, which are used to attach to and then infect a healthy cell. • The key active constituents of elderberry literally “disarms” these spikes (primarily made up of the neuraminidase enzyme), which stops the first step of viral infection! • Elderberry has been proven to be resistant to over 8 strains of influenza, which is greater than any antiviral vaccine!!

19. Elderberry • Adult Formula • Elderberry • Echinacea • Royal Jelly • Olive Leaf • Children’s Formula • Elderberry • Reishi Mushroom • Astragalus

20. How to Take Elderberry Elderberry Defense – 2 capsules at 3 times daily Elderberry Plus Chewables – 2 tablets once daily Maintenance Therapeutic Elderberry Defense – 3 capsules every 2-3 hours Elderberry Plus Chewables – 2-3 tablets every 2 hours

21. The Flu and You…the Facts • Anyone can get the flu • Most people recover in 1–2 weeks • In rare cases, some develop life-threatening complications • Pneumonia • Bronchitis • Sinus/ear infections THE FLU CAN MAKE CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS WORSE!

22. Seven Flu Facts to Know • The virus enters the eyes, nose, throat, or lungs • Spreads with a touch of a contaminated object, and then touch eyes, nose or mouth • HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS • Can spread 1-4 days before symptoms occur • Spreads 7-8 days after symptoms start • Children can pass it longer than 8 days • Some people can “carry” and never get symptoms

24. What’s the Difference? • H1N1 • No immunity, except • maybe older people • Symptoms are generally the • same, may also have vomiting • and diarrhea • SEASONAL INFLUENZA • Most people have full or • partial immunity • Symptoms are generally • the same

25. What Can You Do to Prevent? • Drink Plenty of Water • Get Enough Sleep • Eat a Healthy Diet • Manage Stress • Supplement “Correctly”

26. What about “Stomach Flu”? • The flu is classified as Influenza A, B or C • The “Stomach Flu” isn’t a form of influenza • The true name is “gastroenteritis,” which is characterized • by inflammation of the stomach and intestines Symptoms include fever, headache, swollen lymph glands and possible dehydration. It is still highly contagious, but not “the flu.”

27. Causes of Gastroenteritis Virus-rotovirus Calcivirus Astrovirus Norovirus E. Coli Camphylobacter Salmonella Parasites Giardia parasites Cryptosporidium parasites Spoiled food Bad water Lactose intolerance Shigella

28. Got Flu? Eight things to do… Self-isolate Use cough etiquette Wear a surgical mask Drink plenty of liquids Rest Avoid caffeine, alcohol, sugar & DAIRY DO NOT take antibiotics Supplement “correctly”

45. Allergies • What occurs during an allergic reaction? • The body produces an antibody, called IgE, to bind the allergen. • The antibodies attach to a blood cell called a mast cell. • The mast cells release a variety of chemicals into the blood. Histamine, the main chemical, causes most of the symptoms of an allergic reaction.

46. Allergies • 2 in every 10 people experience allergies. • People can inherent a tendency to be allergic. • You are 50% more likely to have allergies if one parent has them, 75% more likely if two parents have allergies.

47. Asthma • Symptoms of asthma strike when your airways undergo a change, such as the lining of the airways become inflamed, swollen or produce excess mucus. • Asthma is a disease of the airways. • 300 million people suffer from asthma worldwide. • Childhood asthma is on the rise, affecting 10-20% of • all children.

48. Asthma Common symptoms of asthma include: • Frequent cough, especially at night • Shortness of breath • Wheezing • Chest tightness, pain, or pressure

49. Sinusitis Inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining of the sinuses. When sinuses become filled with fluid, germs can grow, causing infection. • Symptoms • Facial pain • Nasal stuffiness • Nasal discharge • Cough, congestion • Fever • Headaches
