Almost 80% of all disease and infections enter the body either through mucosal tissue or stay localized on mucosal surfaces. Immune cells located in the digestive tract produce tremendous quantities, approximately 5 g per day, of immunoglobulin in the form of secretory IgA, which prevents and resolves infections from any pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses and others) and toxins normally found in the gut.
Supplemental immunoglobulins first act in the intestinal tract to eliminate or inhibit the proliferation of disease-causing organisms and toxins. It is this action against invading antigens in the bowel that creates the link between the gut and the rest of the body. The inhibition of the growth of opportunistic organisms or the absorption of toxins by the bowel reduces the stimulation of the immune system. Thus, the body’s resources, particularly amino acids, which would normally be directed towards those challenges, can be redirected to other “battles” in other parts of the body.
Supplementation with immunoglobulins (antibodies) reduces the demand in the gut for naturally produced antibodies. Since the body’s resources are finite, conservation of immune resources in the gut allows more resources to be available wherever else they may be needed.
Extreme Immunity is a primary source of immunoglobulins and was developed to protect the gut from invasions of the disease-causing organisms and toxins that attempt to attack our immune systems.
Good bacteria, Bad bacteria
When the population of bacteria that lives in our gut is in balance, meaning the good bacteria outnumbers the bad bacteria in our intestines, we are in good health. We feel good, mentally as well as physically. We are able to resist disease and infection because our immune system is functioning as it should, with proper digestion and absorption.
