Poor immune system, how can I boost it?!
Question: I seem to have a poor immune system, catching all sorts of viruses one after another with little time in between to recover fully before I'm laid low by another. I work with the public, and have frequent contact with children, so am exposed to all their ailments as well.
As a young adult I was healthy, but it seemed (perhaps coincidental) that after having a total hysterectomy at an early age (I now have to use HRT) that I began to fall prey to lots of minor ailments.
I also have meniere's disease (an inner ear problem which causes balance problems, dizziness, nausea). Some of the viruses I catch exacerbate the symptoms of menieres. This, coupled with what seems like constant illness, makes me feel pretty low at times.
I would appreciate advice on how I could try and boost my immunity to prevent falling ill so often. This would not only improve my work attendance but my emotional and mental state as well.
Many thanks for your time.

It is important to note that our immune system is not totally dependant on diet & mineral supplements. The main cause of immune system weakness, is more often than not a result of the stress response (fight or flight).This happens when we percieve any kind of threat, whether in the enviroment or in our minds.Today we are bombarded by images of fear (Terrorism,economic crises etc) on some level we are all effected by this.However the immune system is immidiatly weakened in fight or flight. Try examining your stress levels, emotional state & or any past traumas that might be influencing your challenge. Try going to emofree.com for assistance. Im curious to know if you tackle the cause (emotional/mental state) first what your results will be!
