Immune System health is probably the most important aspect of our general health. To this end, Immune System support supplements and medications become of primary importance to us, especially those providing passive immunity.
This site deals with the most scientifically advanced immune system health care supplements and not natural supplements like herbs. These immune system support supplements are, however, 100% natural.
Unlike other immune supplements, these immune supplements do not boost the Immune System, but, instead, balance the Immune System, thus optimizing it. This passive immunity is priceless.
I am not suggesting people forget immunization, because immunizations are also important to our health. But supporting the Immune System in a way that it remains balanced, is even more important. This affects our entire state of immunity.
But first please excuse me while I introduce myself. I need to establish my credentials with you and have no one to do it for me.
I have to do this because some people who do not know me will read this site, but I have primarily put this site up because I am tired of telling the same thing over again, often to the same friends, about these immune support items.
I can understand where this stuff can not be heard once for the first time and be completely absorbed, so please save this site so you can come back as stuff sinks in. That way I do not have to keep repeating myself.
For those of you who do not know me:
My name is Captain Joseph H. (Cass) Forrington. I graduated Cum Laude, 33rd out of 222, from the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., in 1972. I have an IQ of 141.
Kings Point is a Federal Academy just like the academies for the Army at West Point, Navy at Annapolis, Coast Guard at New London, and Air Force at Colorado Springs. I was a midshipman in the Navy while there and graduated with a Bachelor Of Science Degree and an Ensign's Commission in the Naval Reserve. Bobby Kennedy nominated me for appointment.
Kings Point has graduated two of our astronauts.
I spent 27 years at sea, 14 as Master (Captain), travelling all over
the world. I have been in over 50 countries on every coast of every continent and to within 600 miles of the North Pole.
Lord, what a wonderful world!
At the age of 34, I was one of the youngest individuals to ever be made Captain in a time of peace. My last ship was one of the largest class of ammunition ships in the world, carrying 35,000+ tons of explosives with a net explosive weight 3 times of what was dropped on Hiroshima. |
I am retired now and have been doing different things since my retirement in 1998. Please check out the "Symbol Of Unity" links above.
Several of those things caused me to investigate the Human Immune System, and ways of fixing it, so, knowing my credentials and how thoroughly I investigate subjects, my friends keep asking me to explain what I explain here. Of course, most of them had no interest in, or knowledge of, the Human Immune System until I started talking about it, but that is how things go, gratefully.
For those of you who do not know me personally, that is who I am, and Human Immune System Health technology, in particular, biotechnology, is the subject of this site. So if you are concerned with your health, please read on.
I am not a Doctor, though I have had medical training above the Emergency Medical Technician level in the course of my career and duties at sea. Therefore, I do not claim perfect knowledge regarding any of this. Even our most advanced scientists do not have that. What I am stating here is my personal understanding of what I have researched. I am definitely not advocating a "cure" or treatment for any disease. I am talking about our general health and the role of our Immune Systems, as best as I, personally, understand it. So please take it for what you think it is worth.
What struck me as most remarkable was that most of the ills that affect us are immune system related: over 85%. I never understood that an "autoimmune" disease was the immune system attacking the body. I knew that AIDS was caused by a weak and debilitated immune system, but the autoimmune aspect surprised me.
This led me to the obvious understanding that a "balanced" immune system was the healthiest state to be in. If a person has Rheumatoid Arthritis, for instance, which is an autoimmune disease caused by the immune system attacking the membranes surrounding the joints, what would happen if he could "tone down" his immune system by bringing it into balance? Does the attack stop and healing begin?
All indications are it does, and this is significant health news for all humanity.
The real research on this began in the 1950's when scientists speculated they could get cows to produce immune components beneficial to the human immune system. Mammals produce a large amount of immune system components when they give birth, and pass those immune components to their offspring in the first feeding, or "virgin" milking, through the colostrum in the milk.
This is the Creator's way of providing the new-born with immediate passive immunity against the hostile organisms in its new enviornment, until their own immune systems gear up to the new dangers.
The theory was that if they could get the cows to produce immune support components more targeted at people than cows, then they could harvest those immune components with the colostrum from the milk from the first milking after a birth. They could then give that colostrum to people, because it survives the digestive process, and it would "nourish" their immune systems.
In short, the theory proved true. They figured out how to get the cows bodies to react to injections of inert organisms that plague humans so they produced immune support components that helped the immune system fight those organisms.
They also found that other components generated acted to actually balance the immune system, generating additional overall benefits.
This medical science has been available for some time, but it has a major flaw. Since the colostrum only comes from the first milking after the birth of a calf, it is rare and very expensive. Thus only the rich have been able to afford it in quantities that do any good.
The scientists who developed the process weren't thinking about profit, just the science, so they apparently didn't think of mass production possibilities in their first endeavor.
Because of the health benefits being realized by people taking colostrum, big business became interested and two very large corporations spent a lot of money transferring the science to birds instead of mammals; to eggs instead of milk.
Chickens are stimulated in much the same way as the cows, and they produce human targeted immune components that are deposited in high concentrations in the yolk of the egg. The concentrations are higher in the eggs than in the colostrum, because birds only have one chance to provide immune support to their offspring, whereas mammals can pass "boosters" to their offspring with each feeding. This is why human breast feeding has regained such importance in recent years.
There is another benefit in the eggs, which are called "Hyperimmune Eggs", or "Hypervalent Eggs", compared to the colostrum. One of the immune components manufactured by mammals is labeled, or called, IgM by the scientists. This particular component can cause inflammations in people, a possible side effect of taking colostrum. Birds, in this case chickens, produce an IgY component instead, and this has no known side effects in humans.
Hyperimmune Egg technology is also cheaply massproduced, so the general public can now afford extremely scientifically advanced Immune System Health Support for about the cost of a cup of coffee a day.
Because all mammals are very similar in biological structure, these technologies have also proven very valuable in veterinary health care for pets and many people are now using the hyperimmune eggs to support their pets' immune health. Because pets are so much smaller than humans, and so are small children, they require much less in dosage for the same health benefits, greatly reducing the cost.
So, to sum up, I believe great strides have been made in modern medicine through biotechnology in the areas of immune system support. Our immune systems regulate and influence practically every aspect of our health, including our emotional and overall sense of "well-being". I strongly recommend you visit this Immune Support site that fully discusses the science and clinical trials behind the hypervalent egg technology. You can also find more in the medical literature in "The Physicians Desk Reference For Non-Prescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements", a book every Doctor, even yours, has. I have found most doctors to be ignorant of the technology, however, and consequently think a lot of people are missing out on a lot of health benefits.
Most Doctors wrongly assume that colostrum and hyperimmune eggs boost the immune system, thereby being unsuitable for people with autoimmune disorders, where the immune system is already over-active. In point of fact, these products balance the immune system and therefore are beneficial in autoimmune situations, as well.
So if you are investigating this and want your Doctor's opinion, be sure to send him to this Immune System science site to research the science and clinical trials. Additional links for more information can be found on this Immune System Health site.
Unfortunately, people allergic to eggs cannot take advantage of the cheap immune support offered through hyperimmune eggs, for obvious reasons. People who are lactose intolerant, likewise, cannot take advantage of colostrum. There are filtered versions of colostrum that the lactose intolerant can take, called transfer factors, but they are less beneficial, because the antibodies are filtered out, and even more expensive.
If you cannot take advantage of either biotechnology, I suggest you investigate polysachharides (spelling?) which, while not providing immune system components, seem to greatly enhance the communcication between cells of the immune system.
