Colds, flu and other viruses, diseases, pathogens, toxins, germs, bacteria, what do all these little annoyances have in common? This is what our bodies face every day. As we go about our daily routines and business, we come into contact with these invaders, most of the time without even realizing it. Our immune system fights them off as best it can, but winning the war depends on the ability and quality of the equipment the soldiers fight with. Why should our bodies be any different considering what they fight off every day?
Some people and agencies say that immune boosters are not good. That there is nothing we can do, except take multiple prescription drugs when we are older, to improve our quality of health. Just look on the internet and you will find people claiming that vitamins, minerals and antioxidants do no good or do more harm than good. The nutrients our bodies need to function at their best are apparently not important. I say hooey.
Think about what the body does for us; It’s a machine. All machines need the right support to function efficiently and properly. We are supposed to get the nutrition we need through our food, but in today’s world that is almost impossible, for many reasons that I won’t explain now. So what can we do to give our body the support it needs? Waiting years to take drugs with all sorts of scary side effects, or taking steps to boost our immune systems wisely? Can we do something?
Fortunately, the Japanese immunologist Yasuhiko Kojima has found the key with the discovery of interferon. Interferon is a naturally occurring protein that activates the body’s immune system to attack invading microbes and increases the immune system’s ability to mount an immune response. In 1954, Dr. Kojima and a colleague, Dr. Yasuichi Nagano, discovered interferon-inducing activities in Chinese herbal medicines. Believing that it was possible to find a way to naturally increase the body’s production of interferon through the use of herbs, Dr. Kojima has examined, tested, and evaluated over 200 different botanicals, ultimately isolating four herbs that, in combination, naturally increase the body’s capacity. production of its own interferon.
The innovative ideas of Dr. Kojima and Dr. Nagano have generated an enormous body of scientific literature on immune responses against interferon, antivirals, and cancer in animals and humans, now a thriving and active area of research. Dr. Kojima has devoted more than 40 years of his life to it and holds no less than 30 patents for interferon inducers and processes related to Chinese herbal medicines.
“It took me about fifty years from when my research began to get to this point. The combination of interferon stimulation, which strengthens cells, and macrophage activation, which plays an important role in the immune system, produced almost complete effects.” There are no side effects, and I am confident that my four botanical compound extracts will play an important role in maintaining our health.” -Dr Yasuhiko Kojima
Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima received his Doctor of Medical Sciences degree from the University of Tokyo in 1964. Before receiving his degree, he worked at the Institute of Medical Sciences of the University of Tokyo. Dr. Kojima’s experience also includes senior advisor roles at Kitazato Pharmaceutical and Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical. Currently, he is president and chairman of the board of the Interferon Herbal Research Institute.
So there is a natural immune boost in our bodies and it needs to be properly supported. That means diet, exercise, the right amount of sleep, and the smart use of natural supplements can all work together to be a great immune booster. Boosting the immune system naturally can allow your body to fight off infectious agents without having to rely on ill-advised medications later in life.
