Human Immunity in Crisis
Poor nutrition, increased stress, lack of exercise and a rise in drug-resistant germs have contributed to a serious rise in death from infectious diseases. Federal researchers report that such deaths rose by 58% from 1980 to 1992, which puts this cause of death third behind heart disease and cancer.

As far back as 1978 the World Health Organization was saying that by the year 2000, Western, technological medicine would be unable to adequately provide all of the world's health care needs. The WHO recommended the use of traditional forms of healing and medicine, such as the use of herbs, to meet the demands of an exploding global population.

Antibiotics in Crisis
Most antibiotics are designed to be lethal to a particular type or group of pathogens. And, because of the way they work, most, if not all, man-made antibiotics suppress the immune system and kill the essential acidophilus and bifidus bacteria in the intestinal tract. In addition, a whole crop of "superbug" germs are completely unaffected by modern antibiotics. And, the over-use of these drugs has been responsible for empowering a host of resistant microbes.

How Pathogens Weaken the Immune System
Our immune systems act like an armored police force assigned to protect us from the billions of pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms in our environment. These opportunistic bugs enter the body through breathing, eating, drinking, and a cut in the skin or sexual contact.

When the immune system is functioning at the peak of efficiency, the microorganisms can be present in the body but they have little effect. However, when an injury or an over abundance of physical or mental stress weakens the immune system, these unwelcome organisms are able to get a stronghold. As these pathogens overtake various glands, organs and tissues in the body they cause dysfunction. Doctors call the resulting dysfunction, disease.

At some point, the diseased glands, organs or tissues produce symptoms that are characteristic of the particular pathogen. For example, cold viruses normally attack the respiratory system. The respiratory system then reacts by producing more phlegm. Tissues swell, then sneezing, coughing, runny nose, and other discomforts appear as symptoms.

Many times it takes months, and even years, for symptoms to appear. Even prior to the appearance of symptoms, the pathogens are in the body draining strength from the infected tissues and the immune system.
