Sometimes your immune system is not able to activate itself quickly enough to outpace the reproductive rate of a certain bacteria, or the bacteria is producing a toxin so quickly that it will cause permanent damage before the immune system can eliminate the bacteria. In these cases it would be nice to help the immune system by killing the offending bacteria directly.

Antibiotics work on bacterial infections. Antibiotics are chemicals that kill the bacteria cells but do not affect the cells that make up your body. For example, many antibiotics interrupt the machinery inside bacterial cells that builds the cell wall. Human cells do not contain this machinery, so they are unaffected. Different antibiotics work on different parts of bacterial machinery, so each one is more or less effective on specific types of bacteria. You can see that, because a virus is not alive, antibiotics have no effect on a virus.

One problem with antibiotics is that they lose effectiveness over time. If you take an antibiotic it will normally kill all of the bacteria it targets over the course of a week or 10 days. You will feel better very quickly (in just a day or two) because the antibiotic kills the majority of the targeted bacteria very quickly. However, on occasion one of the bacterial offspring will contain a mutation that is able to survive the specific antibiotic. This bacteria will then reproduce and the whole disease mutates. Eventually the new strain is infecting everyone and the old antibiotic has no effect on it. This process has become more and more of a problem over time and has become a significant concern in the medical community.

Echinacea has many benefits for the body. Echinaceas history goes back to North American Plains Indians who used it medicinally more than any other plant and used it for a variety of ailments. In the 1800’s it became popular in the United States and was a widely prescribed natural remedy for infections and inflammation. Now it is regaining its importance and there are more than 200 pharmaceutical preparations made from Echinacea plants available.

Echinacea grows in the central United States from Texas to southern Canada. There are several types of ephinacea, each having a slightly different appearance, however only 3 of them have been used in American folk medicine: Echinacea purpurea, echinacea angustifolia and echinacea pallida. Echinacea plants have large, attractive flowers and can withstand high temperatures and humidities. They produce single, long-stalked, terminal flower heads up to 15 cm in diameter.

There are two active ingredients in echinacea, that are responsible for echinacea’s therapeutic properties:
Echinacosides, found in the roots and flowers, and Polysaccharide Heteroxylan, found in the leaves.
Echinacin exhibits interferon-like activity and protects cells against virus-related diseases, such as herpes, influenza, canker sores, etc.*

Reishi Mushroom - Also know as Red Reishi Mushroom, Ling-Zhi, Reishi, Ganoderma lucidum

Reishi Mushroom is one of the most valued plants in the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Reishi has been used for over thousands of years as a miraculous remedy for a variety of diseases from traumatic wounds, inflammation, various ulcers to the treatment of many other ailments.

Reishi mushroom extracts have been shown to exert many beneficial effects which seems to support reishi historical use as an "adaptagen". An adeptogen is defined as a substance which increases the resistance to stress and improves the general tone of the body and mind. In addition to the reishi mushroom immune enhancing properties, reishi mushroom has been used to treat: insomnia, bronchitis, high altitude sickness, high cholesterol, chronic hepatitis, cancer, immune system problems and stress.
The immune enhancing effects of reishi mushroom are thought to be largely due to the polysaccharides. The polysaccharides are composed of individual sugar molecules, chained together to form a sugar layer. The polysaccharides appear to activate macrophage, a type of white blood cell, viruses, bacteria and other large particulate matter.
