Boosting your immune system is not as easy as popping a pill. The immune system is incredibly complex, involving and affecting virtually every cell, tissue and organ in our body. Yes, there are certain nutrients that can help but you have to look at the health of your body as a whole. We have to decrease the burden to the whole system. One way to do this is to eliminate irritants such as food allergies (you have been working on this during the detox, now stick to it), and remove the presence of heavy metals, chemicals and preservatives in your environment. Remove these chemical roadblocks and you’ll help your immune system work as it was designed to.

Flushing one to two times daily is appropriate and you should not go over this.
