I have had great results for constipation with the camels milk. Chrinic constipation resolved within 3 days.

But it apparently is good for autism, diabetes and other immune problems."

[YEA]  02/11/2008: Amith from Durban, South Africa writes: "Green Tea boost my immune system. Green Tea is the most awesome tea, recently taken the world by storm. I drink 3 cups a day, which is the equivalent of eating 8 apples according to the daily mail. Tea can also rehydrate you so can be used as a substitute for water. I know this because my pee is mostly clear. I used to get the flu 4 times a year without failure. Even during the summer. I suffered for year. ie until I Started to drink Green Tea. My energy levels shot up. I only got sick once in the 2 years that I have been taking it. I think it was the airline food and the long thirsty journey that caused my Tonsillitis. I might have even died the Doctor told me if I didn't have a strong immune system. Well anyway. I haven't been sick drinking green tea."

09/14/2010: Tommy from North York, On, Canada writes: "Hello everyone, From a short research I found that there is some molecules are very important to stimulate the immune system:

1- Iodide potassium stimulates macrophage activity. 2- Alpha and beta gluca are also very good immune stimulator. 3-L-arginine and L-Citrillune stimulates the murine macrophage by the production of NO. 4-lPS( lipopolysaccharide) stimulates murine macrophage activity.

The question is what is LPS and we can find them or buy them as supplement? I appreciate your help."

09/14/2011: Freebirdschick from Hancock, Michigan writes: "Hi everybody,

I hope you all can help me come up with a plan of supplements/remedies to keep my 12 and 14 yr old girls healthy this school year. I kept my freshman home today, as she woke with a severe sore throat. I had her do ACV/honey/cayenne tea and cayenne gargling all day. It seemed to help, but I'd like to help them avoid getting sick.

They are both athletes and go to public school. Until the end of October they are both putting in 12 hour days at school between all of their activities, so I think they are getting worn down and so are all their peers! So I need the easiest/best, most minimal way to support their immune systems. (The whole family thinks I'm a little loopy for everything I do to feel great! Lol)

I LOVE EARTHCLINIC!!!"

08/17/2011: Pamela from Riverside, Ct replies: "Hi Christina,

I would give your son strong probiotics. Make sure to find a product that guarantees billions of active cultures at expiration date (not manufacture date). Also, vitamin c."

08/17/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "Just make sure he has 500mg of vitamin C a day. That will reduce the colds dramaticaly. I think you can get a vitamin supplement for kids which would be advised these days. I havent had a cold since ive been taking the supplements, and every time the neice visited we'd end up with one after she left. Instead of a full blown cold you end up with a something that lasts a day, instead of a week of the sniffles."

08/17/2011: Zagyzebra from Los Angeles, Ca/usa replies: "I used to have the same problem with my son, and then I noticed a sudden shift when he hit 8th and 9th grade. Suddenly he no longer got everything going around. And when he did catch something, it cycled in and out quickly. The older he gets, the stronger he gets.

It just seems to me this is the immune system's way of building resistance to disease... Strange as it seems.

I tried everything... Probiotics, Emergency, various immune defense supplements, etc. One thing I will say was the most effective, was a strong goldenseal/echinacia tincture given at the outset of a flu or cold. If you know of a good homeopath, get your hands on a few bottles to carry you through the season. Also, my son found hot garlic/lemon/ginger/cayenne/honey to be particularly soothing and, if administered early enough, often quite effective at knocking out his ailment. And lastly, while difficult, keep junk food and sugar minimized. Find substitutes for the crap and avoid sleepovers, without, of course, depriving your young one of a happy childhood."

08/17/2011: Christina from Dallas, Texas replies: "Thanks everyone for your advice. I am going to try some of these ideas and see how it goes."

08/19/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "Hi francica!! Im on the third day of taking Fractionated DNA, I bought some Baking yeast, and got some straws and a bottle the same length as the straws. I put about six teaspoons of raw sugar in the bottle and filled it up with hot water.. When it cooled I added a pinch of yeast. Then put the cap back on the bottle.. After 24 hours the sediment was building up at the bottom of the bottle.. So when the bottle was opened it gave a litle fiz which confirms its working. Now morning and evening I put the straw in, right to the bottom and suck up a mouthfull. Voila! Fractionated DNA... When the bottle goes down add a couple of spoons of sugar and top up with water. It actually tastes very pleasant. Ten days ill report back, to see if this was the ingredient that fixed the eyes last time. At least I wont be getting Hyperglycemic this time around."

08/20/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "HI again Gavin, I have the ingredients at home to give the ginger beer another try. This time I will use the same recipe as I loved the taste but I will make it directly inside the bottle and not in a container first as my last one had no gas at all. Why do you call the drink you made now fractoned DNA? I have never heard of such a thing..... But please let me know how your eyes are doing. I so much wish my eyes would get better.... I have tried everything, lots of natural therapy, read a lot about it but so far no results!

I don't quite understand why you add the sugar later on.... is that really necessary? And is the best thing to drink the sediment of the yeast? When I last made my ginger beer I was trying to avoid it."

08/20/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "Hi francesca... All the used up yeast cells drop to the bottom of the fermentation container, they are cracked yeast cells and they have the fractionated DNA. By inserting a straw to the bottom and taking a suck, then swallow you ingest just them, without having to drink the sugar laden ginger beer. As the container goes down all you have to do is add a bit of sugar and water , and the fermentation will go on continuously. Hence a permanent supply of cracked DNA."

08/20/2011: Jasonmchicago from Chicago, Il, Usa replies: "Best immune support is Oil of Oregano. It is one of the most powerful (yet safe) anti everything. A friend of mine had four strands of mold virus and was cured by taking OOO for eight years on a daily basis. I would try this out. OOO is great!"

08/21/2011: Rob from Manhattan, Ny replies: "Here are a few immune stimulators... Since it is your son, I would suggest a gentle approach with any of these as an addition to whole diet... research them.

1. Astragalus, is an herb used in many chinese formulas, is an antiviral and antibacterial, stimulates the immune system... good for upper respiratory infections.

2. A mushroom formula (beta glucan) such as New Chapters Immunity or Host Defense MyCommunity.. both quality companies!

3. A third product called Epicor (a yeast extract) has many positive testimonials on iherb.com... I've tried it for a while and I haven't been sick once since on it but can't be sure it was this or other immune stimulants. There isn't much science on this one other than many anecdotal reports..

4. Another beta glucan product from Japan has wide use in hospitals to help boost the immune system of cancer patients is AHCC (expensive).. Here is a good forum discussing it along with a couple others... http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/23262-ahcc-vs-mgn-3biobranpeakimmune4rice-bran-arabinoxylan-compound/?q=forum/topic/23262-ahcc-vs-mgn-3biobranpeakimmune4rice-bran-arabinoxylan-compound/

There are many other immune stimulants, especially brought to light by HIV patients such as LDN, and others listed on this site but only recommended for those fighting a diseased state."

08/22/2011: Gavin from Manganui, Northland, New Zealand replies: "Hi Francisca.. Something interesting is happening to my vision, its now the fith day since I started on the fractionated DNA.. Still a bit early to state that its not just a placebo effect. But this morning I forgot to put my glasses on, and was operating ok untill I realised. Its a bit chilly and the continuous fermentation in the bottle is slow, but it fizzes everytime I take the cap off to take a mouth full, so its definiatly working (fermenting). They charge the ginger beer with a little sugar just before capping to give it a fizz. So the residual fractionated DNA would be a small amount anyway. I wouldnt mind some backup on this. So if anyone else wants to check the effect feel free. To the best of my memory it was ten days to clear up the vision issues.. Then ten days for the eyes to return to their previous state, After the ginger beer was stopped.. (thats if this is the missing link)."

08/23/2011: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "Hi Gavin, I am going to make ginger beer today! It is awfully hot here so let's see how it goes! My eyes are very bad so any change will be highly noticeable! I will keep you informed..... Let's see whether this once God heard my prayers! I have always been so sad that I have such bad eyes, no matter what I try? And I have tried hard to make them at least a bit better so that I can wear less heavy glasses!"

08/27/2011: Yiorgo from Sparta, Greece replies: "i have just started taking Epicor, I have been taking Astralagus as well and I am hoping to notice the difference in my immune system. I would appreciate any comments on Epicor..."
