Date: February 28, 2013 05:49PM Hello all... went to a natural doc yesterday who reads eyes, nails and ears... he told me my organs are not getting any oxygen, therefor they are all struggling for survival with special notice to my heart, lungs liver kidney's pancreas ... he said the root cause is because of my Immune system which is not working... he wants to put me on a rather expensive protocol of herbs... but i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the immune system since that seems to be the underlying cause of all the issues...

To improve the immune system, I would add Zinc to the diet or take a Zinc supplement. To increase 'life' or oxigen, look into CoQ10 (coenzyme q10). It improves mitochondria efficiency. Your body makes coQ10 but it may need a recharge. Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Date: March 01, 2013 01:47AM You sound like you are doing a lot of the right things. How do you feel? Do you have any physical symptoms? Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Yes: How are you feeling? Do you feel that your organs are starving of oxygen? What does this mean, even? How could you run 5 days a week if this is so? I find TCM confounding, I admit, but I would get a second opinion from someone that doesn't have expensive herbal protocols to sell you. Not to be cynical sounding, but . . .

Date: March 01, 2013 07:54PM This is the post that has made me come back to the forum. Im all for natural health and evidence based naturopathy but i will echo tamuka's post.
How is this herbalist or naturopath diagnosing this "starvation of oxygen" ?. It is rogue practitioners like this, that give evidence based alternative practitioners a bad rep unfortunately. [www.natuhealth.co.uk] Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Search me...No clue...Only thing I could imagine is that you might have a hidden allergy that is affecting your immune system? New WIFI up? Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Date: March 01, 2013 09:28PM I forgot to say anyone with oxygen starvation or mitochondrial dysfunction certainly aren't running cardiovascular activity 5 days a week in my opinion.
Pick your naturopaths wisely and always someone who offers scientifically accredited lab tests. [www.natuhealth.co.uk] Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 03/01/2013 09:31PM by powerlifer. Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Date: March 02, 2013 10:13AM this is the first thing wikipedia says about coq10
[en.wikipedia.org] "This oil-soluble, vitamin-like substance is present in most eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. Ninety-five percent of the human body’s energy is generated this way.[1][2] Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements—such as the heart, liver and kidney—have the highest CoQ10" it 'may' be related to your problems good luck Re: a tanked immune system advice please...

Date: March 05, 2013 03:57AM The Man did eye readings... nail bed readings and ear readings... I don't know exactly how he diagnosis... but i didn't tell him a thing about me and he nailed the things i already knew about... so i have some reason to believe he knows what he is talking about... yeas i do feel often that i am sufficating... and not just in the breathing... I'm not absorbing nutrients well or digesting things well... i'm exhausted most days and ... i started taking some chlorella and Cell Food which is supposed to help with oxygen and nutrient uptake... any other ideas...i will look into coq10...
