| Common Immune System Ailments |
| Do you feel drained of energy? Do you collapse in a heap in front of the TV at night, too exhausted to do anything else? A weakened immune system may be why you are too pooped to participate, why that little cut took two weeks to heal, or why every cold or flu going around your neighborhood seems to find you and not want to leave. |
| The inability to cope with everyday stress, poor nutrition, the chemicals in household cleaners, pesticides in the environment, and antibiotics and hormones in meat and dairy foods may be what's constantly challenging your immune system and getting you down. |
| The list of ailments linked to a weak immune system seems nearly endless. To do justice to them all would be far beyond the scope of this book. Thus, I have omitted complex immune system challenges such as cancer, AIDS and autoimmune ailments. Resources for more information on these conditions are included in the reference section. Herbal treatments for some of the more commonand less life-threateningimmune system conditions are featured in this chapter. |
