The document discusses the human immune system and concerns about immune function. It describes the immune system as a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that protect the body. The main concerns discussed are the rise of antibiotic-resistant infections, lack of new antibiotic development, toxic exposures, stress, sleep deprivation, sedentary lifestyles, and nutrient-poor diets. The document then summarizes the functions of the immune system and key cells involved in immune responses. It emphasizes establishing a healthy lifestyle and diet to support optimal immune function.

1. The Body Systems

2. Your Brilliant Immune System
Welcome!
• Today we will discuss:
– The concerns of our
immune systems
– The functions of our
immune systems
– How you can build a
healthy immune system

3. Your Brilliant Immune System
• Our immune system
protects us against:
– Billions of bacteria
– Viruses
– Toxins
– Free radicals
– Other parasites
• Our bodies offer these microbes a
never ending supply of resources
to feed off of. Yet, our
multifaceted protection system
fends many of these invaders off
Mycobacterium chelonae bacteria

4. Bacteria
Bacteria:
– Are complete organisms
– Majority of bacteria exist
independently
– Some live in or off other
organisms-humans
– They thrive off a human host
and produce toxins that
harm the body
– Some bacteria are desirable Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bacteria

5. Concern: Infections are on the rise
• 1 in every 22 persons checking into a hospital acquire a
hospital induced infection (HAI) This increases health costs
by 28 billion. Center for Disease Control Report, 2009
• MRSA is on the increase: In intensive care units in the US 2%
of S. aureus infections were MRSA in 1974, 22% in 1995, and
64% in 2004. (Klevens RM et al. Clinical Infectious Diseases
2006;42:389-91)
• JAMA reports that invasive, serious MRSA infections occur in
approx 94,000 persons each year and are associated with
19,000 deaths. Of these infections, about 86% are
healthcare-associated and 14% are community-associated
• C. difficile causes several hundred thousand human
infections and several thousand deaths each year in the
United States, according to the CDC. This number too, has
been increasing.
• Acinetobacter- A drug-resistant strain of a dangerous type of
bacteria in Intensive Care Unit of US hospitals is on the rise.
Some are resistant to imipenem, an antibiotic that is
reserved for last-line treatment

6. Concern: No New Antibiotic development
• “Research and development of new
antibiotics isn't keeping up with
development of resistance. If we
don't do something about it we'll end
up with a situation where all the old
drugs have resistance and we don't
have any new ones.“Dr Kathleen Holloway
of the World Health Organization (WHO)
• In some parts of the world there is
already antibiotic resistance:
• TB
• Dysentery
• Pneumonia

7. Concern: Antibiotic Resistance
• Even though there has been a decline of
infectious diseases over the last 60 years,
bacteria are becoming increasingly
resistant to existing drugs. Many
antibiotics are no longer effective at
combating common diseases, and a lack
of research into new drugs means there
is a dire shortage of alternatives. London
School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

8. Viruses
Viral Invaders:
• Need a host cell
• They do not reproduce on their
own
• Seize control of a cell of humans or
other species
• Mislead the host cell into
propagating new viruses to occupy
other cells
• Often the host cell is destroyed
during this process

9. Concern: Challenging Viruses
There is an increased concern
about viral invaders
• It seems we are frequently being
warned of an new ominous virus
• Although new vaccines are being
developed; they only target several
strains of viruses and side effects
are a concern

10. Concern: Toxic Exposure
• It is estimated that 85% of all debilitating
diseases are closely related to toxin-related
pollution present in the environment
• A toxin is any substance or agent that causes an
abnormal reaction in the body
• Toxins are:
– Chemicals
– Cleaning agents
– Mold
– Pollutants
– Pesticides
• There is an alarming amount of these toxins in
our food, water, air and soil

11. Toxic Exposure = Free Radical Damage
• These toxins cause free radical damage
– Free radicals steal an electron from a cell which
disrupts and destabilizes it
– This causes a chain reaction which moves from
cell to cell
• Free radicals
– Knock out communications pathways between
the cells of the immune system- according to Dr
Jesse Stoff, MD
– Suppress the body's immune cells
– Damage DNA
– Promotes aging

12. Concern: Life Habits
• The Center for Disease
Control and Prevention
recommends healthy
lifestyles to prevent the
spread of germs and flu:
• “Get plenty of sleep, be
physically active, manage your
stress, drink plenty of fluids,
and eat nutritious food.” CD

13. Concern: Stress Filled Lifestyles
• Stress can be defined as any type of change
that causes physical, emotional or psychological
strain.
• Up to 90% of the doctor visits in the US may be
triggered by a stress-related illness, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
• Neurological researcher, Dr. Caroline Leaf
states “…even more ominous is the effect of
small amounts of day-to-day stress. This
confuses your immune system, effectively
setting in motion the autoimmune response
that causes your body to turn on itself.” Who
Switched Off My Brain?

14. Concern: Lack of Sleep
• The National Sleep Foundation states that
68% of Americans report suffering from
sleep deprivation
• Studies have shown that adults need an
average of 8 hours of sleep each night
• When sleep is interrupted the immune
system cannot complete its defense cycle
• Poorer sleep efficiency and shorter sleep
duration in the weeks preceding exposure
to a rhinovirus were associated with lower
resistance to illness.Arch Intern
Med. 2009;169(1):62-67

15. Concern: Sedentary Lifestyles
Our lymph system:
• Plays a vital role in our immunity (more on
that later)
• Only moves by osmotic pressure
• The lymphatic fluid is only active when our
bodies are active
• If you do not move, then your lymph
system will become stagnant and toxic
• This increases vulnerability to illness
• According to Dr. Gordon Pedersen,
exercising increases Natural Killer Cells by
13%

16. Concern: Nutrient lacking foods
"There's no question the immune
system fundamentally is influenced
by overall health -- and a balanced
diet is key, not only are essential
nutrients critical for the production
and maintenance of key germ-
fighting cells in the immune system,
but a balanced diet also has a
strong effect on vascular function,
and the immune system is
dependent on blood flow." David Katz,
M.D., M.P.H., director of the Yale Prevention
Research Center in New Haven, Connecticut.

17. Our Immune Defense System
The immune system is the
most diverse and
fascinating of all the body
systems. It is extremely
complex and intricate in
the ways it interacts.

18. Our Immune Defense System
• Immunity is still not fully
understood…
• We know the Immune System:
• Provides barriers to protect our
bodies from invaders
• Tries to detect and eliminate
bacteria and viruses that get past
the first line of defense
• If the invaders start to reproduce
our immune system is responsible
to eliminate the challenge

19. Our Immune Defense System
The immune system can be likened
to a fortress with:
• Protective barriers
• Specialized soldiers
• Manufacturing stations
• Transportation systems
• Storage areas
• Clean up Crews

20. Our Immune Defense SystemProtective Barriers:
• Our skin is the outer wall of the
fortress
– It is thick and difficult for invaders
to penetrate
• The eyes, nose, and mouth
– Are protected by mucous that
captures harmful attackers
• In the Nose
– Cilia, which are tiny hairs, trap
particles
• In the stomach
– Intruders pass through stomach
acid that will destroy most of them

21. Our Immune Defense System
If there is injury to the protective
barriers or an invasion is
successful then:
• The soldiers of the immune system
go to work
• These soldiers are a variety of cell
types that complete specific
functions
• They work as a team to protect
against invaders

22. Our Immune Defense System
Meet the Soldiers:
• Phagocytes: Immune cells that
specialize in finding and eating
bacteria, viruses, and dead or injured
body cells
• Lymphocytes: White blood cells that
originate in the bone marrow and
move to every organ in the body
– There are two main types of lymphatic
cells: T-Cells and B-Cells
• Helper T-Cells: These cells are the
drivers and the coordinators of the
immune defense. They activate B-
Cells and Killer T-Cells
• Killer T-Cells: Specialize in attacking
and killing cells infected by viruses
and possibly bacteria

23. Our Immune Defense System
• B-cells: Search for substances called antigens that
have stimulated the immune response; B-cells
divide and produce antibodies that will directly:
– Destroy antigens
– Neutralize toxins
– Incapacitate viruses
• Memory Cells: Are also produced when the B-
Cells divide
– Memory cells have a long life span
– Memory cells remember the biological
signatures of the viruses
– When an intruder tries to enter for a second
time:
• Memory cells activate quickly
• Memory cells eliminate the intruder

24. Our Immune Defense System
The Lymphatic System is a vital part of the
immune system. It is a multifaceted
system that supports the body’s defense
team by:
– Producing the soldiers
– Providing a barracks in which they are
stored
– Transporting soldiers to the various
battlefronts throughout the body
– Employing clean up crews

25. The Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system consists of:
•Vessels
•Ducts
•Nodes
The lymphoid organs are:
•Tonsils and adenoids
•Spleen
•Thymus

26. The Lymphatic System
Lymph Vessels:
• Transport the soldiers and clean up the
battlefront by removing any unwanted
materials from the body
• The soldiers (immune cells and lymphocytes)
are transported throughout the body’s lymph
vessels via lymph; a clear, watery fluid
• These vessels also eliminate
– excess fluid
– dead cells
– invading organisms from the body’s
tissues and cells
• When passing through the nodes, the lymph
is filtered so that the bacteria, viruses, and
other unwanted microbes cannot enter the
blood and circulate throughout the body

27. The Lymphatic System
The lymph nodes:
• Produce and store the soldiers that
defend the immune system
• Are the Immune system’s clean-up
station
• As the lymph fluid passes through
the nodes, bacteria and invading
organisms are filtered out from the
lymph fluid and then destroyed
• As the fluid leaves the node, it picks
up more immune cells to circulate
throughout the body

28. The Specialized Lymphoid Organs
• The Spleen
• Removes old red blood cells and
abnormal cells
• Removes microbes and debris from the
blood stream
• Stores and produces lymphocytes,
which in turn produce antibodies or
soldiers
• The Thymus
• Produces B-Cells and T-Cells
• Provides an area where T-cells
(soldiers) mature
• Contains many lymphocytes
• Protects against autoimmunity
• Is larger in early years to program the
way that the body resists infection

29. The Specialized Lymphoid Organs
The Tonsils
• Serve as a station to produce
more lymphocytes which deal
with local infections
• Trap germs
• Kill bacteria that enter the
mouth

30. Activating the Lymphatic System
Lymph Moving Exercise:
– Stand with your feet shoulder width
apart
– Bounce up and down
– Do not move your feet off the floor
– Start swinging your arms and shake your
hands while you are bouncing
– Do this for 5-7 minutes
• Dry Skin Brushing
• Massage
• Bounce on a Mini Trampoline

31. Establish Healthy Lifestyles
Step one: Start supplementing to provide your body the
nutrients it does not adequately get from food and does
not make on its own.
Step Two: Pick an action item from the following
1. Drink plenty of pure water
2. Exercise regularly
3. Sleep 8 Hours per night
4. Relax daily
5. Stop negative thought patterns
6. Lighten your toxic burden
7. Eat nutrient dense foods

32. Drink Plenty of Pure Water
According to the Mayo Clinic
• Every system of your body
depends on water
• Water flushes out toxins
• Water carries nutrients to cells
• Average urine output is about 6.3
cups per day
• You lose about one liter of water
per day via sweat, breathing, and
bowel movements
• Food supplies our bodies with
approximately 20% of their fluids
• The Institute of Medicine
recommends that men drink
thirteen cups of water a day and
that women drink nine

33. Implement Exercise
Exercise:
• Leads to an improvement of
mood, which improves our outlook
on life; this, in turn, boosts our
immune system
• Helps relieve stress
• Releases and helps eliminate
toxins
• Strive for balance when exercising
too much can cause free radical
damage

34. Sleep 8 Hours Per Night
In The Promise of Sleep,
author, William C Dermont,
states that sleep serves to
augment tissue repair,
conserve energy, store
sugars and boost the
immune system.

35. Stop Toxic Thinking
Check your Mental Attitude:
According to Dr. Caroline Leaf:
• There is a direct communication between
your thoughts and the way your immune
system functions
• Toxic thoughts trigger negative and
anxious emotions, and produce chemicals
that cause the body stress
• Neuroscientists can track a sequence of
reactions through which harmful thoughts
unleash a torrent of destruction upon the
body
• Intense worry, anxiety, fear, and anger
create a strong stress response in the
body and can eventually cause the
immune system to be less effective in
dealing with cancer cells
• For every two hours of work relax for 10-
15 minutes

36. Avoid Toxic Overload
Lighten your toxin burden by:
• Eating less pre packaged meals and processed foods
which often contain preservatives and chemical
additives
• Eating organic produce free of pesticides
• Running your tap water through a reverse osmosis
filter
• Use natural cosmetics, creams and cleansers that
are free of harmful chemicals
• Avoiding artificial fragrances
• Avoiding the use of stain repellants on clothing,
bedding or upholstery
• Using natural cleaning products
• Avoiding gasoline fumes when you're filling your car

37. Eat to Build Immunity
Focus on eating Immune supporting
foods:
• Eat 7-9 servings of fresh organic fruits
and vegetables of different colors to
provide a variety of nutrients
• Protein is needed to manufacture white
blood cells (build more soldiers) Choose
lean cuts of meat, fish and poultry
• Avoid the “Bad Fats” such as transfats
They slow down the function of T-cells
(Immune Soldiers)
• Consume healthy fats such as those
found in omega three fatty acids, olive
oil, raw nuts, avocados, and olives
• Remember to eat plenty of fiber!

38. Eat to Build Immunity
Remember:
A high calorie diet slows
down your immune
system
Sugar lowers your immune
system….
Avoid:
– Fast food
– Sodas
– Sugar-laden foods
– White breads
– Processed foods

39. Supplement To Build Immunity
It is not possible to get all the
nutrition your immune system
needs from food…
The American Medical Association
stated that:
Everyone should take a multiple-vitamin in
order to guard against nutritional
deficiencies. Our soil has become so
depleted of nutrients that our food does
not supply us with nearly as much nutrition
as it did 50-100 years ago; this is vital
because major deficiencies of even one
vitamin and mineral can lead to disease.

40. The Nutrient Challenge
According to the British
Journal of Nutrition:
Adequate intakes of
micronutrients are required
for the immune system to
function efficiently.
Micronutrient deficiencies
can suppress immunity.
Vitamin B1 crystals

41. Nutrients to Build Immunity
• The following micronutrients work
synergistically to support protective
activities of immune cells:
– A, C, E, D, B6, B12, and Folic Acid
– Trace minerals iron, zinc, copper, and
selenium
– Most of these nutrients are also
essential for antibody production
• Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc support the
skin and the mucosa; British Journal of
Nutrition (2007), 98, Suppl. 1, S29–S35 doi:
10.1017/S0007114507832971

42. Nutrients to Build Immunity
• Vitamin E stimulates production of:
– Natural Killer cells and immune cells that destroy
bacteria
• Beta Carotene increases the production of our:
– Infection-fighting Natural Killer Cells and Helper T
cells
– Helps protect against cancer by stimulating
macrophages to kill cancer cells
• Bioflavonoids:
– Protect our cell receptor sites from toxins
– Vitamin C increases white blood cells and antibodies
– Both vitamins help prevent the entry of a virus
• Vitamin D3:
– Prevent cold and flu symptoms
– 1,500 to 2,000 I.U. of vitamin D bolsters the
immune system and may prevent infection. Dr. Michael
F. Holick, professor of medicine, physiology, and biophysics. Director of
the Vitamin D, Skin and Bone Research Laboratory, Boston University
School of Medicine.

43. Omega Three Fatty Acids and Immunity
• Cell membranes:
– Are largely comprised of essential fatty acids
– Weak cell membranes lose their ability to
communicate with other cells
– Researchers believe that this is a key factor in
the development of cancer
• Studies indicate that fish oil:
– Slows breast tumor growth
– Inhibits cancer cells from spreading
– Lowers the risk of cancer in both pre- and post-
menopausal women
• According to Dr. Sears:
– Omega-three fatty acids increase the
activity of the white blood cells that eat up
bacteria
– Essential fatty acids protect the body
against damage from over-reactions to
infection

44. Antioxidants and Immunity
Antioxidants:
• Antioxidants are found in vitamins
and minerals that exist in a number
of foods and supplements
• Antioxidants counter free radicals
by neutralizing them before they
damage healthy cells
• Free radicals destroy immune cells
and wipe out communication
pathways

45. Antioxidants and Immunity
• Research suggests that a diet high in
antioxidants might increase protection
against cancer
• Your own immune system releases free
radicals
– Macrophages release free radicals
to destroy bacteria, parasites, and
viruses
– When the antioxidant balance is too
low, free radicals turn on the
macrophage and render it much
less effective
• Antioxidants assist with the
detoxification of the body

46. Probiotics and Immunity
• The intestinal tract is the largest organ in the
immune system
• The term probiotic refers to the good bacteria that
are similar to those normally found in the gut
• Probiotics:
– Enhance immune system
– Protect the body against viruses, bacteria and
fungi
– Improve digestion
– Improve nutrient absorption
• In 1994, the World Health Organization
deemed probiotics to be the next-most
important immune defense system when
commonly prescribed antibiotics are rendered
useless.

47. Probiotics and Immunity
“The good microbes – and this is
where probiotics come in – keep
the bad microbes in small
numbers. But they also stimulate
the immune system and improve
our digestive function. That’s the
subject of research that has been
going on for years, says Huffnagle.
“Today, the world of probiotics is
emerging on the cutting-edge of
mainstream medicine.”
Gary Huffnagle, Ph.D., of the University of
Michigan Health System, is one of the
country’s leading researchers into the world of
probiotics
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
and L. Casei

48. Silver Shield and Immunity
Silver Shield:
• There is increasing concern about
antibiotic-resistant infections
• Production of new antibiotics has
grown stagnant
• Silver Sol offers hope through a
patented nano-particle solution
called Silver Shield
• Well researched immune enhancer
• Does not promote resistance as do
antibiotics
• Inactivates viruses
• Improves all classes of antibiotic
function as much as ten times

49. Silver Shield and Immunity
Through a complicated process, silver
solutions interfere with the
energy sources of bacteria, microbes and
pathogens
• Silver Shield technology
– is effective against more than 500
disease-causing pathogens
– is charged with two electrons, which
contrasts with the single electron used in
common colloidal silver. This increases
the ability of the silver particles to
repeatedly destroy targeted pathogens.
(Current Science Res, 2007)
Coronavirus

50. Silver Shield and Immunity
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry:
– Silver is non‐toxic to the immune, cardiovascular,
nervous, and reproductive systems
– At doses 200 times the normal adult dose, it is
non‐toxic to healthy human cells
According to US Patent No. 7,135,195 Silver Patent
Analysis,
Silver Shield is effectual against the following:
– Bacillus Anthracis – Anthrax
– Candida Albicans – Yeast
– Yersinia Pestis – Bubonic Plague
– MRSA – Resistant Staph Aureus
– Mycobacteria Bovis and TB – Tuberculosis
– Salmonella ‐ Food Poisoning
– Fungal infections of the skin
– Bacterial infections of the skin
– Vaginal & urinary tract infections
– Respiratory & nasal infections
– Conjunctivitis – pink eye

51. The “Germiest” places in America?
Where are they?

52. The Germiest Places in America
1. Laundry Rooms

3. Wet laundry
4. Grocery store handles
5. Airplane Restrooms
6. ATM buttons
7. Playgrounds
8. Handbags
9. Shopping Carts
10. Public drinking fountains

53. Silver Shield Gel

of antibacterial soaps, gels and cleansers that
contain triclosan. (see Immune Booklet)
NSP’s Silver Shield Gel:
– Easy to use and it feels great
– Made with food-grade ingredients
– Contains no alcohol

55. Boosting Your Immune System
• Our health accounts do not expand without
consistent deposits to counteract their
depletion from daily stress, lack of sleep,
exposure to toxins and poor diets
• Core nutrients are vital to keeping our
immune systems strong
• Our bodies do not make enough core
nutrients, they must come through
supplements
– Probiotics
– Omega Three Fatty Acids
– Vitamins
– Antioxidants
