Support Your Immune System Phoenix AZ

(NC)-What you don't know about viruses CAN hurt you. A virus is not the same as bacteria. You might think that bacteria are very small; a virus is 10,000 times SMALLER than most bacteria! A virus' sole purpose is to reproduce. Once it finds a suitable host cell it attaches to the surface of the cell, or is pulled into the cell, by a process called 'phagocytosis' (phago - eat; cyto - cell). Inside the cell it releases its genetic material and virtually shuts down normal cell processes. The cell stops making the proteins it usually makes and starts making viral proteins instead. The virus uses the cell's energy and materials to make copies of the original virus, clones that fill the host cell until it ruptures, releasing the viruses to infect nearby cells.

Antibiotics are pharmaceutical products that kill bacteria, but because of the way viruses work, a virus is not killed by antibiotics such as penicillin, ampicillin, etc. The best way to prevent and handle viral infections is by naturally supporting your immune system. Naturally potent herbs have been Man's allies against viral invasion for centuries. Many people think you have to wait out a cold or virus-"it just takes 7 days and then it will stop on its own" but that's just not true. Science has helped create a potent herbal echinacea extract called Echinilin, used in products such as Cold-A-Tak, and this "souped up" traditional herb has been proven to stop colds 3 times faster.

Don't use the wrong weapon against viral invaders. Overuse of antibiotics can have a negative effect on immunity. Strengthen your immune system and say goodbye to seasonal colds and flu.
