IMMUNE A strong immune system is critical to maintaining optimal health in the world today. We are more exposed to known and unknown immune compromising agents than ever before. Immune is formulated to help you maintain your immune system in a unique way that has proven to be quite effective for many members. Long standing situations have improved dramatically as well as the acute times...i.e. flu, viruses, or any of the "seasonal" problems that strike adults and children. Immune should be used daily for the individual already experiencing a long standing problem or used in combination with the appropriate formulae when an emergency occurs. Immune is vitally important before, during and after any hospital visits. It is a well known fact that a number of fatal infections are contracted when one is hospitalized for even minor reasons. It appears that antibiotics have proven to be unable to effect them. Be strong by using Immune before something happens. (See TETRA as well.) [MORE]

For impotence (caused by self-inflicted PSYCHOSIS [hereby and throughout these texts] defined as the more unconscious than not seeking of approval from a source other than that which is pure truth; that which is subject to a conceptual, i.e.; a conflictual system of belief or guilty conscience), meditation, prayer and fasting is primarily indicated.

INMORTAL is used as a respiratory formula ingredient which helps to loosen mucus, dilate the bronchials, induce sweating and stimulate general resistance. Combined with other herbs, such a formula relieves chest colds, bronchitis and decreases excessive heat in the lungs. Also eases pain of coughing and liquifies mucus. See also: BETA CAROTENE and/or VITAMIN A.

B-COMPLEX INOSITOL is necessary for the formation of LECITHIN; aids in the breakdown of fats; helps reduce blood cholesterol, and helps prevent constipation, eczema, and thinning hair and hair loss. Inositol is available in commercially developed multivitamin formulas, in doses ranging from 30 to 50 mgs. No USRDA has been established for this nutrient.

MINERAL COMPLEX IODINE aids in the proper development of the thyroid gland; regulates the body^(1)s production of energy; helps burn excess fat by stimulating the rate of metabolism; mentality, speech, the condition of the hair, skin and teeth are dependent upon a well-functioning thyroid gland. Slow mental reaction can be avoided with adequate intake of IODINE. The USRDA for IODINE is 150 mcg. KELP is an excellent source of IODINE. Also see: COPPER and/or VITAMIN A entries.

MINERAL COMPLEX IRON functions mainly to combine with COPPER to make hemoglobin which transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues requiring oxygen to maintain basic life functions. IRON builds up the quality of the blood and increases resistance to anemia, stress and disease. It is also necessary for the formulation of myoglobin which is found only in muscle tissue. Myoglobin supplies oxygen to muscle cells for use in the chemical reaction that results in muscle contraction, including activity of the heart. IRON also prevents constipation and fatigue, and promotes good skin tone. Fish, lean meat, legumes (especially soybeans and navy beans), poultry (especially turkey), spinach, sunflower seeds, and raisins are loaded with IRON. These should be eaten with VITAMIN C, which helps absorb more IRON better. The USRDA for IRON is 18 mgs. Also see: ALOE VERA, IODINE and/or VITAMIN A.

IRON HERB can be used in the cure of violent headaches.

PARTICLES OF IRON are used in majickq making.
