AUGMENT, HELP AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM© Dr. Deb Baker 2008 Page 3 (a) of Dr. Deb's Immune System PagesOther Immune System Support Products:AndrographisAndrographis paniculata is an herb commonly used in China, India and other countries in subtropical and Southeast Asia. Both the fresh and dried leaves, as well as the fresh juice of the whole plant, have been used in a variety of cultures. Andrographis has been found to be an effective anti-biotic, anti-viral, anti-parasitic and immune system stimulant. It is used in viral hepatitis, children's bowel complaints, gastric acidity, liver congestion, flatulence. It is being increasingly used as treatment for colds. Reasonably good evidence tells us that it can reduce the severity of cold symptoms. It may also help prevent colds. Preliminary evidence suggests that it stimulates immunity, potentially making it useful for general immune support. Interestingly, the ingredient of andrographis used for standardization purposes, andrographolide, does not appear to affect the immune system as much as the whole plant extract. Preliminary studies in animals also suggest that andrographis may offer benefits for preventing heart disease. In addition, highly preliminary studies suggest that andrographis may help protect the liver from toxic injury, perhaps more successfully than the more famous liver-protective herb milk thistle. The following studies have shown the effectiveness of andrographis in supporting the immune system through the common cold:

OREGANUM PLUS - THE BEST OREGANO OIL I'VE EVER USED!
This is truly an amazing essential oil – miraculous you could say – one of nature’s best-kept secrets. But word is spreading. People are learning about this incredible herb – powerful enough to sterilize sewage water, but gentle enough not to damage human tissue. It’s become one of our best-selling products, highly effective for a wide range of ailments and conditions.
As early as 1910 a researcher named W.H. Martindale noted that “the essential oil of Oregano is the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known.”
These early findings have been amply confirmed by contemporary research. In 1977 a French doctor named Belaiche unveiled his “Oregano Index”. This Index uses Oregano Oil as the base reference against which to compare the bactericidal action of other substances. This is because, out of all the natural essential oils, Oregano is the closest to being an ideal antibacterial agent. He explains that, “Among the most active oils Oregano is the `best of the best’… The essential Oil of Oregano has always provided me with amazing results in treating infectious diseases.”
Dr. Jean Valnet, a leading French authority on the use of essential oils, reports that in at least one laboratory study, essential oils “proved to be many times more effective at killing pathogenic microorganisms than antibiotics.”
A key active ingredient of Oregano Oil is carvacrol, which has been found effective against upper respiratory infections (including colds and sinus infections). As well, researchers have discovered that it potently inhibits platelet aggregation, a known risk factor in thrombus (blood clot) formation, a leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. As for cancer, in one study, carvacrol was able to suppress melanoma by 50% in vitro.
Other studies have confirmed Oregano Oil to be more than just anti-bacterial. It actually has powerful anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties.
Because parasites and viruses, like yeasts, cannot be treated with antibiotics, Oil of Oregano’s ability to destroy these agents of disease has come to be seen in a new and significant light.
In a study published in 1996 in Medical Sciences Research, it was shown that this wonderfully potent herb killed RNA and DNA viruses. Among these are the types that cause cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. This makes it an increasingly popular remedy against the ravages of colds and the flu.
Oregano Oil has been proven to be effective in the treatment of various sorts of parasites, which can produce debilitating physical symptoms.
In addition, it can be employed as a digestive aid. Also, it has outperformed anti-inflammatory drugs in reversing pain and inflammation, and is nearly as powerful as morphine as a pain-killer. Not only that, but it has been shown to actually strengthen the immune system.
As if all this were not enough, because it’s an anti-oxidant, it checks the formation of cholesterol, which research implicates in the onset of atherosclerosis, a.k.a. hardening of the arteries.
And to cap all these benefits - which are likely to make Oil of Oregano a more and more widely accepted weapon in the fight against disease - it can be used either internally or topically, depending on the indication.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS AND CAUTIONS
Do not use during pregnancy; not for use with children; may irritate
sensitive skin. Avoid in cases of liver or kidney disease. Do not
use in high doses. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Keep out
of the eyes. In large doses essential oils are CNS depressants (i.e.
they are toxic to the nervous system). Do not use Oregano oil if
you are taking blood thinners in case of a potential interaction.
