Immune Activator
Super Combination of Herbs to Stimulate Immune System Function
Immune Activator is an immune system activator specially formulated to stimulate a strong immune response throughout the body as well as specifically in the respiratory system. In addition to the immune-stimulating action that the three echinaceas, goldenseal, and Oregon grape root give this formula, the combination of the other herbs in Immune Activator also support the liver/gallbladder and the lymphatic system, important lines of immune defense.
The echinacea species are native to the American continent. Echinacea was valued by the Native American people, much like ginseng has been by the Chinese, and were used more than any other plant for health needs. Early American settlers found the native people chewing the root to relieve respiratory conditions.
Each of the three echinacea species has a different immune stimulating action. Polysaccharides in these echinaceas are immune stimulating and activate leukocytes, T-cells, and macrophages, immune system attack cells. Echinacea also increases interferon production, which is part of the immune system’s protection activity.
Goldenseal, another very well known immune stimulating herb, and echinacea taken together increase the benefits of both.
This versatile liquid herbal formula may be taken in small, frequent amounts when needed, and the amount used can be adjusted up or down, according to the need, size and age of the person taking it. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 1/3–1/2 teaspoon (2–3 droppers full) 3 to 4 times a day during immune challenge, or as needed.
CONTAINS: Echinacea purpurea, echinacea palida, Oregon grape root, echinacea angustifolia, goldenseal root, astragalus root, lomatium root, usnea, mB™ liquid trace minerals, a special Cedar Bear Naturales™ aromaceutical blend, and a proprietary New Sun herbal catalytic flavoring, in a glycerin/purified water TincTract® base.

MORE ABOUT THE HERBS IN THIS FORMULA:
• Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), commonly known as Black Simpson, because of European studies, has recently become more recognized for its effective immune stimulating properties.
• Echinacea (Echinacea pallida), commonly known as Prairie coneflower, is the least well known and gentlest of the echinacea species. Its action enhances those of the other two echinaceas in this formula
• Oregon Grape Root (Berberis aquifolium) supports immune function, with effective antiseptic properties. It has a mild blood and liver cleansing action and is similar to goldenseal, only milder, has a more general action in the body, and works to enhance the actions of the other herbs in this formula.
• Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia), commonly known as Purple coneflower, is the most well known echinacea for its action as an immune system stimulant that increases certain white blood cell activity.
• Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis) is native to North America and was used by Native Americans for respiratory, digestive and urinary conditions. It contains hydrastine and berberine, known to have widespread antiseptic benefits.
• Astragalus Root (Astragalus membranaceus) is an adaptogenic tonic herb that originated in China that strengthens the body’s resistance and increases natural interferon in the body.
• Lomatium Root (Lomatium dissectum) is native to western North America, and was used successfully by western tribes to protect against illness and to reduce respiratory problems. It gained notoriety in the early 1900’s when it was the herb used that protected certain tribes from the devastating flu epidemics that swept the country.
• Usnea (Usnea barbata) this tree growing lichen that grows in Europe and North America, commonly called tree man’s beard, is known for its antibacterial and cleansing action. It is especially beneficial for the respiratory and urinary systems and also helps soothe throats and reduce coughs.
