IMMUNE BOOSTING OR IMMUNE MODULATING WHAT DOES BLACK SEED DO?
As we navigate our way through the current Corona pandemic it’s comforting to know that we all have an arsenal of weapons within our bodies, which on a daily basis, protect us from pathogens, whether internally generated or of external origin.
In order for our immune systems to be effective, the function of immunity must be able to respond correctly to the threat. This requires the immune system to determine the level of response which is required and act accordingly. Once the threat is dealt with, the immune system must be able to tone down the response. If however the response continues after the threat is dealt with, then there is a risk that the continued heightened response can cause damage to the tissues of the body withnegative effects for healing.
This is why the modulation of the immune system as opposed to immune boosting
is so important. In severe cases the uncontrolled
inflammation can cause tissue and organ damage and is called a Cytokine storm.
With this in mind we would recommend two suppements that we feel would be beneficial at present
- BLACK CUMIN SEED
- COQ10
Black cumin seed could lower the possibility of an inappropriate immune response and the CO Q 10 energizes all bodily organs in order to deal with stress effectively.
WHAT DOES BLACK SEED DO?
It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and has been researched for its ability to modulate an inappropriate immune response
CoQ10 is a vitamin like compound which acts as a battery charger for the mitochondria (battery of the cell). It is literally our energy currency. As we age we absorb less of this important compound. If the organs of the body lack the ability to generate energy they become stressed and age with subsequent impact on health and appropriate immune responses. CO Q 10 is depleted by diabetic, cholesterol and heart medications. These underlying diseases predispose us to unfavorable outcomes of other illnesses.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF THESE TWO…
skin health and
appearance improves with the use of these two.
Black cumin degrades histamine and
can therefore be helpful in allergies.
CoQ10 is very beneficial to the cardio vascular and cognitive systems.
Asthma
Headaches
Improved insulin response.
