Building a Natural Immune Support Cabinet in your Healthy Home
A medicine cabinet can hold some pretty dangerous compounds. What does yours look like? Expired prescriptions? Old over the counter stuff that you saw in an ad on television and really don’t have a clue what’s in it? Are you looking for some healthy solutions? Something based in nature? I have moved to keeping an “Natural Immune Support Cabinet”. Non-contaminated herbals and nutritious foods will help our cells defend against foreign invaders like viruses and bacterial infections. basic immune support includes: handwashing, adequate sleep, drinking plenty of pure clean water, staying active, giving our minds and hearts some support with healthy relationships. Nature holds the answers to our health and that is the basis for building a natural immune support cabinet.
Suggestions for what to put in your Natural Immune Support Cabinet
My Natural Immune Support Cabinet is full of Shaklee natural nutrition. I recommend Shaklee products because they are always safe, proven and guaranteed. Here is the a suggested list of products and why they are important. (These are iin addition to my daily nutritional foundation Shaklee Life Plan. 
Absolutely necessary for daily prevention:
Nutriferon – (pumpkin seed, Japaneses honeysuckle, Asian Plantain, safflower) helps the body make its own interferon, a chemical messenger that signals the body’s natural immune response. This is exclusively available from Shaklee and is patented. What an amazing product. (This one helped me get off Flonase and Zyrtec for seasonal allergies– must have this!!!)
Immunity Formula I – contains ShakleeGuard and antioxidant system (vitamins and minerals) and is an exclusive synergistic blend that supplies nine immuno-active nutrients for daily support.
Alfalfa Complex – Alfalfa provides a wide variety of nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, chlorophyll, and bioflavonoids. Alfalfa Complex is a Shaklee Signature Formula originally developed by Dr. Shaklee. I take 5 in the morning as part of my prevention program and 5 at night.. More if I am running too fast or know I am exposing myself to possible infection.
Vita-D3 (particularly in the winter)- Vitamin D is so important for immune health as well as just about every other body system.
Optiflora – So much has been learned about how important the gut is to all of our well-being. Some refer to it as the “other” immune system. I know it has an extensive network immune cells and is part of what we call the diffuse immune system. The good bacteria living in us needs support and this product delivers! I take it daily.
When you know you might be exposed to sick people: 
Vitalized Immunity – Use as you feel symptoms coming on or when you know you are going to be exposed to “germs” like when you travel, particularly on an airplane. It is a tab that you dissolve in some pure clean water and it makes a delicious orange flavored fizzie drink. So good and so worth it! Better than Airborne any day! I keep this one in my purse at all times.
Defend and Resist – (echinacea, black elderberry, larch tree, and zinc) immunnoactive polysaccarides and polyphenols stimulate the body’s natural resistance. Chew the tabs, swallow with good clean water, or brew a delicious tea.
Once you have been exposed:
Garlic – long known for it’s antiviral properties and now for its cardiovascular protective effects. Shaklee’s formula includes Spearmint and Rosemary so it helps with that strong garlic taste but gives you an easy way to get garlic into your system.
Chewable Vitamin C – It is formulated in 100 mg tabs and the chewable form makes a wonderfully soothing and tasty lozenge for scratchy throats. Easy to carry with you and you don’t need a glass of water to get the benefit.
Add if you catch the bug: 
Performance Rehydration Drink– proprietary OPTI-LYTE electrolyte blend plus a unique mix of carbohydrates that delivers instant and sustained energy and supports optimal hydration. This product is in my kitchen all the time. It is so important for rehydrating after exercising, or working in the yard or around the house. Even though it was formulated as a sports nutrition product, try this little recipe when you feel a cold coming on!
(Mix 3-4 tabs of Defend and Resist with a scoop of Orange or Lemon Performance in hot water for a soothing “Russian Tea” therapy when you begin to feel the cold or flu symptoms.)
Additional Suggestions for keeping your surroundings safe and minimizing the spread of infection
Basic-G – concentrated disinfectant that doesn’t have the respiratory irritant chlorine and is just as effective. Perfect for cleaning up sick rooms and wiping down counters and door knobs.
Shaklee Hand Wash Concentrate – for washing hands without drying them out. It has wheat germ oil and algae extract to moisturize; soy protein to condition; aloe, marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), and linden flower (Tilia cordata) extracts to soothe; and rosemary and arnica extracts to energize. So now it’s more like, “Go take your hands to the spa.” 
You can trust Shaklee and KNOW that they do everything possible to provide us safe products, that work. For more information view this short video- THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE. As always there are never any artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors or preservatives in Shaklee and they are Gluten Free.
