L-Arginine is an amino acid that’s so potent, scientists refer to it as the “Miracle Molecule.” And for good reason, because our bodies convert L-Arginine into nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and open wide for greater blood flow. Greater blood flow supports many important functions in our body:
Healthy blood pressure levels
Overall cardiovascular health
Immune function • Muscle growth
Bone & tissue growth & repair
Male sexual function
Fat and glucose metabolism
Anti-aging hormone production and more
With so many health benefits, it’s no wonder L-Arginine is generating so much excitement. New ARGI+® provides all the power of L-Arginine, plus:
Pomegranate – well-known for its strong antioxidant properties
Red Wine Extract – to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels
And Grape Skin and Berry extracts for cardiovascular and immune system health
Together, these ingredients create a new generation of supplement – one that supports better health throughout your entire body. Just a scoop of ARGI+® mixed with Forever® Natural Spring Water or your favorite Aloe drink helps provide a performance boost to every part of you. Add optimal health to your family’s diet with the power of L-Arginine!
This image highlights the interaction between the immune system and infectious diseases.
Scavenger cells, called dendritic cells, routinely patrol the body looking for invading pathogens in order to rapidly alert the immune system. Visualised through a microscope, here we see one of these dendritic cells (labeled in red) ingesting a Leishmania parasite (seen in green). These Leishmania parasites represent a significant disease burden across the globe, causing chronic skin diseases and fatal liver infections, with around 2 million new infections and 100,000 deaths each year. From developing novel microscopes to understand how these parasites interact with the immune system, to testing new drug candidates on clinical isolates, researchers in SIPBS are part of the global effort to eradicate this disease.
Phagocytic dendritic cells were infected with Leishmania mexicana parasites expressing a green fluorescent protein. Twenty-four hours later, cells were labelled to reveal the cytoskeleton structure of the cells (red; Phalloidin-Texas Red) and counter-stained to show the nucleus (blue; DAPI). Cells were imaged using a Leica SP5 confocal microscope.

Macrophage, as depicts in "Il Etait Une Fois... La Vie" created by French studio Procidis. "La Vie" was an educational animated TV series teaching children about the human body. All the cells were personified, and such the white blood cells were presented as police officers and the germs were presented as bullies. The macrophage cells were presented as a yellow frog-like bulldozers, eating waste, bacteria and viruses.
The macrophage is a phagocyte cell which form a very important part of our immune system. Here is an illustration of how it was depicted in the educational kids TV show "La vie / Life" by Procidis

A Vichy shower is a metal arm with five to seven adjustable shower heads to caress your body under an invigorating waterfall. It is usually part of a body treatment, like a salt scrub or body wrap. Instead of jumping up and getting in a shower to rinse off the salt or mud, you simply lie there.
The cascade of water feels delicious! The effect of so much water movement on your skin is to increase the blood circulation, hydrate the skin and sooth the nervous system, enabling your body to balance and your muscles to relax.
Other specific benefits:
Increasing the benefits of products recently absorbed by your skin
Reducing toxins and waste, improving your elimination system
Boosting your immune system
Improving skin and muscle tone
Reducing your stress response through skin nerve stimulation...

SoTru® SunRepair® is based on AC-11®, a patented, bioactive compound that has advanced sun damage repair science. SunRepair® has been proven to reduce skin cell damage due to UV exposure by enhancing DNA repair and increasing collagen. SunRepair®’s awesomeness doesn’t stop there. It also supports a decrease in inflammation and enhances immune function, both of which are important to protect skin from photo-aging. We’d give Sotru™ SunRepair® a gold star, that is if we were in the business of giving gold stars.
Echinacea has a rich tradition in the culture of the North American Plains Indians, who used it more than any other plant to help maintain their health during the winter time. They also applied root poultices, used Echinacea mouthwash, and drank the tea. It was prominent in America until the 1940s. The Europeans, who discovered it in the 1930s, still use it extensively.
Botanists named the plant after the hedgehog (Echinus) to describe its prickly, cone-like center. It grows naturally in the Midwest states from western Pennsylvania to Kansas and as far south as Northern Texas. Hundreds of scientific studies have indicated that Echinacea can help support immune function.
In recent years, research has discovered a mechanism by which Echinacea may help. One of the primary defense mechanisms of the body is made of a jelly-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA occurs in the tissues between cells to “cement” them together. There is an enzyme, hyaluronidase, which attacks HA in a way not fully understood. When it does, the HA quickly loses its jelly-like viscosity, and this protective “cement” loses its effectiveness. If the enzyme is allowed to destroy the integrity of the HA barrier, immune function may suffer. Echinacea has been shown to prevent the enzyme from dissolving HA. Forever Echinacea Supreme® contains both of the most highly prized forms of Echinacea (Purpurea and Angustifolia), plus Goldenseal and Grape Seed Extract, for maximum benefits.

So does fluoride inhibit the immune system or is it just a load of rubbish?
Interestingly the people dumping the rubbish have underperformed, by not producing any Latest Research proving that fluoride boosts the immune system; perhaps because this is about as likely as a cockerel laying a square egg.
When you finally shake off your cold and fancy that long, difficult read of information that contradicts your tap-using behaviour, here's some people who think the enzyme poison might be immunosuppressive.
