Answers:

There are nutritional things a person can do to help strengthen his/her immune system. Vitamins A, C, and E area collectively known as the anticancer vitamins. The immune system needs these plus minerals like zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) to do its job. Dark green leafy vegetables, especially cabbage relatives like broccili and kale and orange vegetables like carrots are high in ACE. In research where AIDS patients were given much larger than “normal” amounts of these nutrients, especially vitamin C, it was found that the people taking the “extra” nutrients had more and healthier helper T-cells. These nutrients also are valuable in fighting colds, flu, etc. Many knowledgable nutritionists feel that the RDA for vitamin C (currently 100 mg for non-smokers) is way too low, and often recommend anywhere from one to three grams a day.
