THE INTELLIGENT WAY TO SUPPORT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM




Next week we will officially be in autumn!  A perfect time to think about how our bodies will cope with the onslaught of various flu’s, colds, and other viruses that ‘do the rounds’ in the winter and spring.  How best do you prepare yourself to keep you and your family as healthy as possible during this time?
It is not a mystery why some people ‘catch’ the flu and others don’t - it is not random.  It is quite simply that an individual’s immune system is not strong enough to fight the invading organisms.  So the answer is obviously to support and strengthen the immune system all year round which applies to everyone not just ‘vulnerable’ people. 
Many factors result in lower immunity: poor diet, poor assimilation of nutrients, stressful lifestyle, a lack of quality sleep, emotional imbalance and pollution and of course being exposed to viruses and bacteria.   Natural remedies are the best way to improve your immune system and there are numerous natural and herbal remedies available on the market but, whilst herbs are very effective, they can also be dangerous if not administered by a qualified practitioner.  As an example Echinacea was taken off the market in Germany four years ago so that its safety parameters could be determined as it had been recognised that, whilst it was effective in some cases, it could be too stimulating to others which might lead to a lowering of the immune system.  More recently there has been advice not to administer Echinacea to children.

To address the challenge of finding a natural product which was effective and safe with the highest quality ingredients, Laboratoires Bioligo created a perfect complex many years ago which included their unique catalytic oligo-elements (trace elements) for the immune system, plus high quality, organic green propolis which is anti-viral and anti-bacterial targeting the debilitating symptoms of sore throats, colds coughs and congestion.  A perfect combination to strengthen the immune system, not only to fight the disease, but to ensure that the immune system is not left depleted after an episode of infection which can result in fatigue and a vulnerability to further infections.

In clinical trials* undertaken in 1994 in Switzerland, over a period of six months two groups of children (one placebo group)  within the age range of 1-5 years who had suffered at least 4 episodes of ENT infection in the previous year, were given a preventative dose of  Bioligo’s Sirop du Pere Michel. The results were:
·       The number of cases of infectious episodes:-
                                                      Sirop du Pere Michel – 51             Placebo – 144
·       The number of infectious cases requiring supplementary treatment:-
Sirop du Pere  Michel – 6(11,77%)             Placebo – 188 (66.67%)

*The significant results from these trials are more impressive considering  that  each child received exactly the same dose.  Oligotherapy usually administers a dose which is tailored to the background condition of the individual.   Therefore there is a possibility that the therapeutic dose required for some children involved should have been greater to achieve optimal results.

The choice of products in the Sirop range makes it convenient to take in any circumstances.
Sirop du Pere Michel – the original syrup - an instant antidote to sore throats and tickly coughs, whilst supporting the immune system. Ingredients: Zinc, Copper, Gold, Silver, Magnesium, Manganese; Organic Green Propolis:   Bees produce propolis to protect their hives from the proliferation of bacteria.  Bioligo use the best organic Brazilian Green Propolis which is collected by a specific variety of bees (Apis Mellifera) from Baccharis Dracunculifolia (Wild Rosemary) which grows abundantly in southern Brazil.  The benefits of this Propolis is far greater than the classical Propolis.

Without trace elements in their correct catalytic form, cells cannot function correctly.  Blockages are created in cells because of many external and internal factors; catalytic trace elements remove the blockage and enable the cell to assimilate other nutrients.  It doesn’t matter what remedies you take - supplements, vitamins, homeopathy - if the catalytic trace elements are not present in the cells then these substances cannot be absorbed.  Unhealthy cells leads to unhealthy tissues and organs which eventually leads to disease.
