The theory of Nutritional Immunology gets a lot of credibility from the simple fact that every natural method for regaining health consistently includes some sort of special routine or nutritional diet for cleansing, nourishing, and balancing the immune system and it's supporting organs of detoxification. The theory of Nutritional Immunology simple states that for the immune system to function at optimum levels, it must be given special nutrition, and that we must modify our lifestyle in a way that is known to support the immune system's function. For example, we must strive to reduce our exposure to environmental toxins. This is done by mainly consuming pesticide-free organically grown wholesome plant food without toxins in the form of chemicals and preservatives (not an easy task!). We must also learn to reduce and manage our stress levels; as well as make sure we are getting proper sleep and rest.

We must recognize and take into account that all the organs of our body are not separate, but interrelated and connected; and so before the optimum function of the immune system can be restored, each organ of the body associated with supporting the immune system must be restored to health also. These supporting organs; the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and skin, for example, aid the immune system by either processing and removing toxic waste; acting as a barrier to protect the body; or simply ensuring the absorption of necessary nutrients from foods we eat. In conclusion, when the immune system is unhealthy, it is either because the organs that supports the immune system are sick (due to toxicity), or because the immune system and its supporting organs are malnourished as a result of years of not getting the vital nutrients required for its function!

By now we hope you have noticed the recurring theme: when any system in the body is sick, it is usually because of toxin build-up in the tissues or organs. One way toxin build-up can happen is acutely; because we are suddenly bombarded by so much toxins that our detoxing system is unable to remove them fast enough without extra help from us (i.e. by changing our lifestyle and engaging in detoxification treatment to support the immune systems). Shockingly, toxic build-up is usually chronic (gradual); that's right... the number one reason for toxin build-up in our bodies is because we not helping the immune system do it's job for years. Since the number one factor for immune system health is nutrition, it is due to years of malnutrition. However, malnutrition here doesn't mean we are not eating enough food in quantity; it simply means that for years, we were not providing our body with all the right types of food nutrition, in the proper form the immune system and it's supporting organs need on a daily basis. This last point illustrates how important it is to provide our immune system and its supporting organs with all the vital nutrition they need on a daily basis.

Let's get back to importance of supporting our immune system. When we are healthy, we must support our immune system so that it can continue to keep us healthy as a preventative measure. And since only the immune system can heal, when we are sick, we must support our immune system so that it can heal us. It all sounds so simple, but it becomes quite complicated if the immune system itself is unhealthy. An unhealthy immune system cannot properly perform its defending and healing function. When the immune system is unhealthy, it gets rather complicated because it is, unfortunately, not an easy task to bring the immune system back to health. As we have already established, the problem lies in the fact that all the systems of the body are interconnected; in order to restore the immune system function, we must also restore the function of all its supporting organs. This is a rather slow process. Isn't it scary that this the situation inside the body of a sick individual fighting a serious illness or disease. It is ironic that so many people don't even realize how serious the situation is when it is a weak immune system that is trying to nurse them back to health. A very sick individual's immune system is already under so much stress that at any time their health could take a turn for the worse if they don't quickly find ways to support their immune function.

One way to indirectly support our immune system's health and function is to simply detoxify all the other organs in the body, especially the organs that are most related to supporting the immune function (i.e. circulatory system, kidney, liver, intestines, colon, etc.). By simply helping to detoxify these supporting organs, we are not only lessening the strain on the organs and immune system, but we are also dramatically increasing the immune system's function. This is because of the fact that when these supporting organs become somewhat less toxic, they will thus be better able to carry out their supporting role of the immune system more efficiently. As these supporting organs of the immune system become more nourished and detoxified, the faster and better they are able to carry out their task; thus the faster and better the immune system can can carry out its healing and defending task!
