so that we know exactly what to do if we, or a loved one, starts coming down with an infection. Published studies in peer reviewed literature shows that those who are protected with an effective immune support program on a daily basis and based on the use of nutritional supplements, have less than ½ as many actual sick days per year and less severe infections. I believe that my program is far superior to that.

Even in the worst known infections in history, such as the black plague which swept Europe, at least 40% to 50% of the population survived. Experts agree this is because the survivors had a stronger immune system. To help you be one of the survivors, you need the benefit of a program to give you a stronger immune system. I recommend that you use the best nutritional immune support program that you can afford as a part of your daily life, just like brushing your teeth.

I believe that we have some exciting choices today but perhaps the most cost effective of all the nutrients or herbs that you can take to enhance the immune system is high doses of vitamin C and garlic. Plan to dramatically increase the dose when you feel particularly stressed, or fear you are coming down with something. Longevity Plus carries a special form of powered vitamin C called Beyond C. I helped to formulate Beyond C for my patients who wanted to take higher dosages of vitamin C without side effects. We find that over 99% of my patients can safely take massive doses (4-20 Grams) of Beyond C due to this uniquely stable formulation. This powdered form of vitamin C includes several unique synergistic ingredients that make it far easier to tolerate, and more effective in maintaining high levels of vitamin C in your blood cells than any other form of vitamin C I have seen anywhere in the world.

Because of this well tolerated formulation, you can take the higher dosages (up to 20gms a day, or more) that Linus Pauling proved were needed to maintain your immune system and keep it in optimal shape in a polluted world, particularly when you have been exposed to any infection. Beyond C also contains bioperine, TMG (trimethyglycine), MSM (methylsulfanomethane), and ribose, which markedly enhance the immune supporting activities of vitamin C.

Research shows that the higher we maintain our blood levels of vitamin C throughout our lifetime, the longer we live. By flooding the body with higher doses of vitamin C, the extra is excreted in the urine and carries with it many of the serious toxins, including heavy metals, that we are excessively exposed to today anywhere on Planet Earth. Daily ingestion of extra Beyond C is, therefore, a first line of defense in today's polluted world. Experts have predicted that because of increasing antibiotic resistance, we face the loss of up to half of our population from some resistant infection.

Already, the Center for Disease Control has reported that one out of four childhood infections are resistant to all antibiotics except expensive injections of Vancomycin. We are all so polluted and the infections are so stubborn today, that I have found it necessary to use an entire broad spectrum of herbal and nutritional support products. These supplements are crucial in preventing my patients from being hospitalized, and are fundamental in helping my patients avoid serious complications from the infections they are exposed to every day. These support products are also imperative in preventing my patients' from passing the latest "bug" from family member to family member. Beyond C, Essential Daily Defense, Immuni-T2 and for the worst infections, Samento and Wobenzym, are the key ingredients in my Immune Support Program.
