			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Garlic has been known for a long time to be a very good antioxidant. However, no-one knew why exactly garlic had these benefits. Now a team of scientists have found out information about how it works.</p>
<p>The important allicin in garlic is now known to break down into sulfenic acid. This has strong antioxidant properties and is responsible for many of the remarkable properties garlic has.</p>
<p>Leeks and shallots have similar properties but their effects are less pronounced.</p>
<p>Taking garlic every day &#8211; either fresh or as a supplement &#8211; will give us a great immune booster to help fight off any potential infections as well as mop up free radicals.</p>
<h3>Immune Supplements including Echinacea and Garlic</h3>
<p>Of course, do take <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Immune-system-herbs.html" target="_blank">immune system vitamins and herbs</a> frequently to help strengthen the immune system. Focus on this particularly if the weather is liable to change dramatically or if in a profession where you have to mix with people likely to have such infections.</p>
<p>When you want to keep yourself immune, vitamins are good to guard against infections &#8211; but many people claim that herbs have the edge.feel certain that herbs are better.</p>
<h2>Echinacea &#8211; Fantastic Immune Nutrition for Great Health</h2>
<p>These powerful <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Echinacea.html" target="_blank">herbal echinacea supplements</a> can be a great help in building immune system nutrition, so boosting immune response.</p>
<p><strong>To read more about Echinacea</strong>, read the article: <a href="http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0200_2.html">How echinacea is a great immune medicine.</a></p>
<h2>&#8220;Power Garlic&#8221; &#8211; More Immune Nutrition in a Herb</h2>
<p>Another fantastic herb for the immune system is <strong>garlic</strong>. Garlic has a long standing reputation for building the immune system and counteracting infections. It is great when used in cooking &#8211; tasty as well as good for health; but it is hard to take a therapeutic dose without getting a bit smelly!</p>
<p><strong>One good answer</strong> is to use <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">a reliable low-odor garlic supplement</a>. <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">Power Garlic Capsules</a> are a very good quality garlic supplement.</p>
<p><strong>To read more about Garlic</strong>, read the article: <a href="http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0900_2.html">Garlic &#8211; a Great Herbal Medicine &#8211; and why it is an immune booster.</a></p>
<p>A three month course of either herb can work wonders for boosting the immune system.</p>
<h2>Discounted Herbs &#8211; Buy 3, Get 1 Free</h2>

This is the best quality Echinacea &#8211; &#8216;E. angustifolia&#8217; variety &#8211; preferred by most herbalists, not the cheaper &#8216;E. pallida&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">Power Garlic Capsules (low odour) at 25% off &#8211; buy 4, pay for 3 </a></p>
<p>This is <strong>top quality garlic</strong> &#8211; carefully and slowly dried with a low temperature method to maintain its vital allicin level. It is a low odour garlic.</p>

This is a programme which many people agree works better for them than <strong>immune vitamins</strong> they have taken. The prime benefit is that with this approach you have a 3 month immune booster set out for you in an easy-to-follow form.<br />

<p>Genome analysis has enabled scientists finally to come near to conquering the% common cold.</p>
<p>By decoding all the strains &#8211; 99 of them &#8211; of the common cold, they have been able to identify its weaknesses.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are now quite certain that we see the Achilles&#8217; heel, and that a very effective treatment for the common cold is at hand,&#8221; said Dr. Stephen Liggett, the senior author of the study, at the University of Maryland.</p>
<p>This will be a great boon for one of the biggest challenges for the immune system!</p>
<h3>Immune Nutrition with Herbs &#8211; Echinacea and Garlic</h3>
<p>It is the best course of action to take <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Immune-system-herbs.html" target="_blank">herbal immune nutrition</a> on a regular basis to benefit the immune system. This is particularly called for if the weather is liable to change dramatically or if in a profession where you are likely to come into contact with such infections.</p>
<p>When you want to <em>keep yourself immune, vitamins are good</em> to counteract bugs &#8211; but many people <em>find herbs to suit them better.</em></p>
<h2>Echinacea &#8211; Immune Vitamins Beaten by this Herb</h2>
<p>These powerful <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Echinacea.html" target="_blank">echinacea herbal supplements</a> are often more efective than immune vitamins such as vitamin C. Echinacea can be a great help in building immune system nutrition, which boosts our immune response to infection.</p>
<p><strong>To read more about Echinacea</strong>, read this article on <a href="http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0200_2.html">how echinacea herb is often better than immune vitamins.</a></p>
<h2>&#8220;Power Garlic&#8221; &#8211; More Immune Nutrition in a Herb</h2>
<p>Another fantastic immune system booster is to use a <strong>garlic supplement</strong>. Garlic has a long standing reputation for building the immune system and counteracting infections. It is great when used in cooking &#8211; tasty as well as good for health; but it is hard to take a therapeutic dose without getting a bit smelly!</p>
<p><strong>One good answer</strong> is to use <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">a reliable low-odor garlic supplement</a>. <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">Power Garlic Capsules</a> are a very good quality garlic supplement.</p>
<p><strong>To read more about Garlic</strong>, read the article: <a href="http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0900_2.html">Garlic benefits &#8211; why garlic is an immune booster.</a></p>
<p>A three month course of either herb can work wonders for boosting immune system.</p>
<h2>Discounted Immune Herbs &#8211; Buy 3, Get 1 Free</h2>
<p>If you wish to buy either of these herbs, we can show you how to get a good discount. <strong>To get these two herbs at a discounted price &#8211; 25% off </strong>- go here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Power_Garlic_Capsules2.html">Power Garlic Capsules (low odour) at 25% off &#8211; buy 4, pay for 3 </a></p>
<p>This is <strong>top quality garlic</strong> &#8211; carefully and slowly dried with a unique low temperature method to maintain its vital allicin level. It is a low odour garlic.</p>
<h2>A Great Immune System Booster &#8211; and Really Thorough</h2>
<p>Another great <a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/90-day_Immune_Programme.html" target="_blank">immune supplement is this 90-day Immune Programme</a>. This is a programme which many users have said works better for them than <strong>immune vitamins</strong> they have taken. The big advantage is that with this approach you have a 3 month immune booster set out for you in an easy-to-follow form. Taking a course of 3 months is a sure way of improving immune system function in a way which is very likely to be long-lasting. Many people carry out a 90-day Programme like this every autumn &#8211; to prepare the body for winter.<br />
<strong>Unlimited free advice</strong> comes with this programme. There is excellent support at the end of a phone line or just an email away.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/90-day_Immune_Programme.html">Buy the Herbal 90-day Immune Programme &#8211; great immune nutrition</a></p>
<p>This is our top recommendation &#8211; the &#8216;Rolls Royce&#8217; of immune treatments. Echinacea and Garlic are great too: but we like the 90-day Immune Programme best because it is so comprehensive.</p>
<p>And on the whole, we prefer herbs to vitamins for immune support. All alternative medicine has its place; but we have presented here three of the best herbal immune system medicines or remedies you are likely to find.</p>
<h2>Other valuable immune herbs:</h2>
<h2>Pau d&#8217;Arco</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.alternative-healthzine.com/html/0103_2.html">Pau d&#8217;Arco Capsules, Drops or Tea &#8211; Great Herb for Skin and Detox</a></p>
<p>Pau d&#8217;Arco is widely used by inhabitants of the Amazon rain forest. It is powerful immune medicine.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.shs100.com/acatalog/Cat_s_Claw.html">Cat&#8217;s Claw Capsules or Drops Drops: Great Herb for Skin and Detox</a></p>
