   Health authorities tell us that, at any given time, upwards of 1/3 of the population is ill.  Its either a virus, bacterial infection, allergic reaction, pollutant or a major disease like cancer, diabetes, etc, etc.  So, at the bottom line, why is this happening to us?  Well, if the underlying cause isn't some kind of genetic predisposition that compromises your immune system, then it is simply a weakened immune system!
   You can?t do a great deal about the part your genes play in its operation but you can, fortunately, with a little info and self-discipline still do a lot to maintain the strength  of  your  immune system. On the other hand, either through ignorance or "I just don?t care" choices, you can weaken  it by:
1. Poor Nutrition:
   The soil deficiencies of many agricultural areas make it nearly impossible to get needed  nutrition from the foods grown there. And  modern  food  producing, harvesting and processing methods don't take nutrition  into account. Then, too, we  mostly choose foods improperly cooked which means denatured food  that makes the body work harder to obtain needed  nutrients.
   We need to choose foods wisely - more "organically grown" things, unprocessed & unpasteurized, free of chemicals, pesticides, artificial colors, emulsifiers & preservatives, etc -  and then  prepare them properly, having a balanced diet that avoids fried foods, refined sugar and white flour , containing  more fresh fruit, veggies and whole grains.  And taking some form of  supplements is often  advised.
2. Exposure to Infection:
  There are over 4000  named  viruses and  billions of bacteria all around us in the environment. So, it?s impossible to totally avoid them. Antibiotics won?t  handle viruses. And  they are  now  less effective as a result of inducing  resistant bacterial forms. The result is, even if you are perfectly healthy,  thousands of viruses and  naturally produced anti-bodies may be present in your body.
   This fact  makes it very important to have your blood  pH in the alkaline range. You  can assist it in this regard by means of a regular diet of  the  foods that  puts it there, thereby making  your body inhospitable to harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi and  take supplements which are specifically anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, etc.
3. Exposure to Toxins:
   They are in the air, the water, the food. They may enter your body as city smog, industrial chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, tobacco smoke, excessive alcohol, things in tap water, dust, pollen, dander, most household  products, and  mildew, molds, etc, etc.
   To deal with toxins you can upgrade your home's HVAC system, add a water filtration system, make sure of using any advised  health & safety equipment when  needed. Be sure to first read all safety precautions on materials and equipment you make use of.  Learn about those foods and supplements that eliminate toxins. Take supplements specifically to reduce toxins.
4. Exposure to Trauma:
   Trauma to your immune system arises through exposure to x-rays, background radiation, microwave oven radiation, radiation from the faces of some watches and clocks, smoke detectors, jet air travel, and irradiated food. Take appropriate steps to limit your exposure to these traumas and include in your diet foods and supplements that offset the effects of trauma.
5. Poor Stress Management:
   There is good stress, accompanied by happiness and enjoyment, and bad stress, with anguish, tension, and worry, etc.  During prolonged bad stress, the immune system  responds and undergoes degenerative changes through  cortisol  acting as an  immuno-suppressant.  Your immune system  is thus weakened to the point that it is unable to overcome an attack.
   We all have our personal ways of coping with bad  stress; meditation, exercise, having fun, relaxation
and recreation, music, etc. We need to review our stress tactics from time to time to ensure they're effective, and be sure to include time to apply them in our daily routine. And if there are diet supplements that benefit the nervous system, by all means use them.
A  5 -Way Solution:
  All 5 of the above factors, if neglected, result in a weakened  immune system and some form of illness for you. But, fortunately, you can improve all 5 of them ? strengthening your immune system ?  by simply taking products having just one natural substance  : Certified 100% Organic Reishi Products.
   Reishi mushrooms and their medicinal use date back over 4000 years and  the  benefits of such use have been written about during all that time. But, amazingly, in our Western civilization they are almost unknown. Only since the 1970's has the scientific community started to investigate their therapeutic properties, when  it was learned  how to carry on controlled commercial cultivation of them.
   They contain polysaccharides, over a hundred  triterpenoids, organic germanium, calcium, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, amino acids, vitamins, inorganic ions, and steroids. Eighty of the triterpenoids are physiologically active and many of  the polysaccharides show bio-active antitumour and immune system stimulating abilities. Reishi supplements have  proven value as anti-allergic, anticancer, antiviral, and an adaptogenic agent.
   Adaptogens are substances that help the body deal with anything forcing it out of balance, returning it to balance without side effects, dealing with a broad spectrum of illnesses and affecting a number of organic systems. In this regard ? as an adaptogen ?  It is difficult to find a more complete or potent immune enhancing supplement than Reishi! 
   Studies have determined  that Reishi enables the immune system  to deal favorably with a broad range of cancers, chronic fatigue syndrome, and an assortment of autoimmune ailments when  used with dietary and detoxification modifications. It's beneficial with circulation and HIV/AIDS, decreases cholesterol and blood sugar, relieves the nausea of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is an excellent source of dietary fiber, and combats viral infection. Certain ones of  it's components act as immunomodulators,  interacting with the immune system  to upregulate or downregulate it as necessary.
   For these reasons together with current advanced agricultural techniques and cultivation  methods, tremendous potential exists for anyone wishing to improve their state of  health  by the simple use of  Reishi supplements and Reishi-blended dietary products.
  There are millions of pages of  research results on Reishi mushroom available on  the internet  (e.g.- use Ganoderma Lucidum on pubmed.com)  which can be consulted  about  the many positive  effects of Reishi and it is still being researched to the present day. 
   Remember this : on average each middle-age person creates thousands of aberrant pre-cancerous cells daily that must be destroyed  by the immune system. Consistent failure to eliminate these cells on the part of a weakened immune system will result in tumours. Current estimates are that one  in three people now living will suffer from cancer during  their lifetime.  
   In view of these facts does it not simply make good sense to naturally stimulate your body's own defense system  to give you  maximum  protection?  Regular, daily use of  Reishi supplements and Reishi ? blended dietary products  will  do that.

   One Company providing such products is particularly worthy of mention : ORGANO GOLD INC. That is because the Reishi in its products is strictly regulated, having received more than 26
