Thymus and Spleen:

The thymus gland and spleen are of paramount importance in maintaining a healthy immune system. The thymus secretes the hormone thymosin, to regulate the function of the white blood cells, and programs the T-cells to recognize foreign invaders.

In early childhood, the spleen forms lymphocytes and monocytes, so important to the health of the immune system. The spleen also removes worn out red blood cells from circulation. When the lymphatic drainage of the thymus and/or spleen becomes overly congested, these organs may malfunction which makes one more vulnerable to infection.

The simpler types of infection including warts, cold sores, colds, flu, athlete’s foot, and candida are the first signs of a weakened immune function. Formula Gt (thymus) and S (spleen) are highly effective at reinvigorating the thymus and spleen, key links in our immune system.

Acidophilus:

If antibiotics are used, lactobacillus acidophilus is essential to replenish the beneficial intestinal bacteria. Acidophilus is best taken on an empty stomach in the early morning, just after rising. Studies show acidophilus to have mild antibacterial action.
