The Center for Disease Control has issued a strong warning to stop over-using antibiotics. This push comes in the form of guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which now believes that the overuse of antibiotics is contributing to an alarming rise in the number of diseases that are impervious to drugs.
The CDC recommended improvements in basic housekeeping, focusing on phones, dirty walls and patient charts, and suggested that physicians should not prescribe antibiotics for the treatment of colds, where they have little value. The guidelines said that doctors should not prescribe antibiotics in low doses or for short periods
Scientifically Advanced Vita-Lea (with and w/out iron)
Provides a comprehensive balance of essential nutrients. Vita-Lea’s bioavailability has been proven through independent clinical research. Contains gentler, better-tolerated forms of zinc and protein-bound trace minerals for easier digestion.
Vita-C, 500 mg. Sustained Release
Antioxidant property protects the body against free radicals. Boosts the immune system, infection fighter, natural antihistamine, increases the resistance to ligament and tendon injury. Vitamin C is depleted by stress such as infections, illness, fatigue, surgery, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperature. As we age, there is a greater need to regenerate collagen which requires more vitamin C.
Immune Building Complex
Developed and extensively tested by immunologists in Japan, contains an exclusive, proprietary blend of natural plant extracts from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds, and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds, which has been clinically proven to support and stimulate the natural immune response process at the cellular level. Supports and stimulates the immune system, by increasing the activity of macrophages and inducing natural interferon production. Optimizes immune response against environmental irritants and airborne substances (as with allergies and asthma). Completely safe – no adverse reactions to these plant extracts ever recorded.

Optiflora
This advanced colon care system contains Acidophilus and Bifidus, essential friendly bacteria that ideally live in our lower intestines. Research shows, however, that most adult Americans only retain about 15% of these microflora, rendering our bodies (and especially our immune systems) vulnerable to toxic build-up. The Optiflora system also includes the prebiotic FOS and inulin to provide nutrients that selectively feed the good microflora for rapid colonization. It is the only product of its kind to guarantee delivery of live beneficial microflora to the intestines, due to its unique triple encapsulation that protects these essential bacteria from the acidity of the stomach.
