A member asked:

Is it possible to improve your immune system? some people seem sick all the time and others who eat bad and don't exercise never seem to get sick?

We can easily think: that but the statistics say otherwise. Better lifestyles promote better health. Vitamin C in 2 doses - a.m. & p.m., mushroom supplements such as Maitake, exercise, and guided imagery can all be helpful. See your doc to rule out any medical conditions. Peace and good health.
