Question
Hi again,
Thanks for all your help!  Wanted to double check on your suggestion to stop Reishi.  It is
an adaptogen , which helps immuno-modulation.  It
shouldn't over activate an already out of balance immune system.  At least, based on my extensive research.  I am implementing all your
suggestions, I just wanted to double check that because I have researched so much on it.
Thanks for all you do.
God bless you,
Angie Field

Answer
Dear Angie,

Thank you for writing, I am truly glad you have asked me about this. I will explain;

In general reishi has been used as an immune tonic, booster and stimulator of sluggish immune functions.

The polysaccharides it contains have demonstrated anti-tumor and immuno-stimulating activities under testing.

For example G-I shows potent anti-tumor activity. It has demonstrated potential to stimulate macrophages to produce increased levels of TNF.

However it is the triterpene that has demonstrated the ability to be adaptogenic and anti-hypertensive.

What we look for from here is the residing quantity of each. When analyzed therefore the immuno-stimulating chemicals outweigh in quantity and primary function the modulating ones.

Therefore we conclude that overall reishi has more stimulating than modulating characteristics when applied to the human organism. Stimulation is the primary delivery of the reishi supplement.

In your case what we need is a complete balance/modulator.

However there is more to the transfer factor than i told you. It has the ability to awaken the inherent intelligence within the immune system. Teaching the immune system based on stored memory within the TF molecule how to overcome auto-immunity by lowering specific immune functions that are over stimulated and stimulating those functions that have been drastically lowered.

Immune-intelligence is then able to in this case 'recognize' the actual imbalance and correct it. That is how we go about addressing auto-immune conditions.

When this product is combined with the frutavida i mentioned, there is more benefit. Transfer factor increases cell mediated communication. This means that cells will be more capable of taking and using the nutrition provided by the fruta-vida appropriately and where needed.

So the overall benefit is very good. When we introduce the safe-space technology i mentioned into this equation at some point, we find even more of a response. For we are treating and supporting the bio-magnetic or auric field, as well as the physical body.

I hope this explanation is helpful!

I forgot to mention last time that i was reading some rather inspiring testimonials on that website under the "buzz" link. You might take a look at these as well.
