Here is our official position at the moment: Del-Immune V® provides immediate immune system support. The activity is non-specific, which means the support covers a broad range of immune responses. This has been evidenced by the results reported from our users. The immune help from Del-Immune V® ranges from seasonal bugs and sinus problems to chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. So we anticipate this product will be beneficial for immune system support even with various Flu strains, but again, we do not have the documentation yet!

A 2006 study at Children’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. confirmed that, like us, a microbe’s favored mode of travel is airplanes. Likewise, trains, buses, taxis and rental cars can be breeding grounds for traveling germs—not to mention airport terminals, restaurants and public restrooms.

Many are making their summer travel plans, but that doesn’t mean the immune system can go on vacation, too. Independent Traveler magazine says travelers “may be more than 100 times as likely to catch a cold on a plane as in your normal daily rounds.”

Travel often means additional stress as well. We put ourselves under pressure by getting ready to go, preparing our homes, businesses and pets to be cared for in our absence, and making it to our gate, connection, etc. on time.

According to the Center for Disease Control, three glands “go into gear” and work together to help you cope with a stressful situation. Two are in your brain: the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The third, the adrenal glands, are on top of your kidneys. The hypothalamus signals your pituitary gland that it’s time to tell your adrenal glands to release the stress hormones called epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol. These chemicals increase your heart rate and breathing and provide a burst of energy, but prolonged stimulation wears on the immune system, making us more vulnerable to environmental pathogens.

In addition to frequent hand-washing and ample hydration, taking Del-Immune V® prior to, during and after travel can help your body adjust to the sudden fluctuation in stress levels. Several customers have written to us about their experience traveling with Del-Immune V®:

“My husband travels almost every week and his trips are always overseas lasting four to five days at a time,” wrote Jan W. of Boulder, Colo. “In the past, the weekends have been a time for him to recover from travel and jet lag. Since taking Del-Immune V® on a daily basis, I have noticed my husband has not had any infections caused by air travel. I believe his jet lag has diminished and I know for a fact that he has more energy on the weekends.”

Another Boulder customer , Mark S. wrote, “I recently attended an international conference in Mexico. During the course of the week, most of the Americans became sick, but I was taking Del-Immune V® and never missed a beat. Even though I ate in local restaurants, worked late and got up early, I felt great throughout the conference and even after I returned.”

I will never forget the day my baby woke up with a terrible rash. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a medical doctor or a fisherman’s wife, having a sick baby is very scary. My six-week-old baby was covered in red welts. Though she seemed happy in every other way, something was obviously wrong. Since I’m a medical doctor and a mother, I was able to examine her. I noticed she appeared to have the rash of chicken pox. This was a real surprise, since chicken pox normally affects children older than she was.

I had been introduced to Del-Immune V® by a friend and colleague; and I had the impression that it was a very safe and effective natural supplement. I decided to go ahead and start her on Del-Immune V®. I mixed one capsule three times a day in a bottle of milk. By the following morning her rash had completely disappeared! I continued to give her Del-Immune V® using one capsule a day for the next week. I discontinued the treatment once there was no further evidence of the illness. I was satisfied that not only was she completely better from the original infection—which normally would have taken two weeks to get over—but also that she was unaffected by the supplement in any other way. She did not display any side effects whatsoever.

Since my first experience with Del-Immune V®, I have used it to treat many medical conditions and found it to be helpful. Not everyone who takes Del-Immune V® has dramatic results, but I have not had anybody experience any side effects, either. I recommend it to patients with any autoimmune condition, including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.

After developing a cold or flu, many people who exercise on a regular basis are hesitant to skip workouts. However, exercising when ill inhibits exercise performance, diminishing the benefits of a typical workout and spreading germs that may infect others. Most doctors will recommend rest during all types of illness. Sometimes, though, even a doctor’s advice isn’t enough to convince us to break our workout regimen. Here are a few things to consider before hitting the gym when you have a cold or flu:

First, exercising with a cold or flu may worsen symptoms. A runny nose or sore throat may become more agitated during exercise making you feel even more miserable than before your workout. Some studies have also shown that the immune system can become suppressed after exercise.

Another thing to consider is that during resistance activities (weight training, for example) our bodies break down muscle and, in the days following that workout, will repair the muscle so that it grows and reshapes itself. But, when we’re ill our bodies may not simultaneously fight off an infection and repair muscles very efficiently leaving you sore and possibly prolonging the illness.

When ill, fluid in our bodies may be off-balance affecting the heart and circulatory system. The decrease in body fluid may cause inadequate perspiration, which could lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke.

Finally, it’s important to remember that public gyms and exercise facilities can be hotbeds for flu and cold bugs. Infecting others in this environment may easily be done through heavy breathing, coughing, sneezing, and sharing mats and towels. Even if healthy, adding a Del-Immune V® supplement to your daily routine can help as your immune system fights off germs.

You might be wondering; “If viruses spread so easily, why do only some people get sick? Why do some people become extraordinarily sick—or even die—while others may suffer only short-term illness or no symptoms at all? Is there anything short of vaccination we can do that will help us avoid infection, make it less serious or increase our chance of survival if we do become seriously ill?” The answers lie in our immune systems.

Public health recommendations such as frequent hand washing, hand sanitizers and containing a sneeze in a tissue can help to reduce infection. Drinking plenty of water, getting adequate sleep and proper nutrition are all essential to maintaining your health on a daily basis. These strategies are easy, inexpensive and provide some protection against infection.

Dr. Roger Mazlan of Roslyn Heights, New York has recommended Del-Immune V® to more than 500 patients over the past four years when he believes extra defense is needed. “As a medical practitioner for more than 40 years, I know there is no perfect solution to treating a seasonal virus problem,” he said, “but Del-Immune V® has become the backbone of my treatment regimen during this season.”

We realized if outbreaks were up in Colorado, they were probably up nationwide and thought it would be useful to provide more information on norovirus to our customers.

What are noroviruses?

Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause the “stomach flu” or gastroenteritis in people. The term norovirus was recently approved as the official name for this group of viruses.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people also have low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly and the infected person may feel very sick.

How serious is norovirus disease?

People may feel very sick and vomit many times a day, but most people get better within one or two days and have no long term health effects related to their illness. However, others are unable to drink enough liquids to replace the liquids they lost because of vomiting and diarrhea. These persons can become dehydrated and may need special medical attention.

How does one become infected with noroviruses?

Noroviruses are found in the stool or vomit of infected people. We may become infected with the virus in several ways, including:

• Touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then placing the contaminated hand in their mouth
• Having direct contact with another person who is infected and showing symptoms (such as when caring for someone with illness or sharing food or eating utensils with someone who is ill)
• Eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus

This virus is contagious and can spread rapidly.

What treatment is available?

Currently there is no antiviral medication that works against norovirus and there is no vaccination to prevent infection.

Can norovirus be prevented?

We can decrease our chances of coming into contact with noroviruses by following these preventative steps:

• Frequently wash hands, especially after toilet visits and changing diapers, and before eating or preparing food
• Carefully wash fruits and vegetables and steam oysters before eating them
• Thoroughly clean and disinfect contaminated surfaces immediately after an episode of illness by using a bleach-based household cleaner
• Immediately remove and wash clothing or linens that may be contaminated with the virus after an episode of illness (use hot water and soap)

In addition, the Post reported that Tamiflu appears to be less effective with norovirus. When we are faced with immune threats like these, the best initial defense is a healthy immune system. Our recent research on Del-Immune V®, published in the Ukranian Journal of Immunology demonstrates the activity of Del-Immune V®. By raising levels of natural interferons, Del-Immune V® helps users’ immune systems, and a healthy immune system is less vulnerable to foreign invaders.
