Why is it important to boost the immune system with vitamins?
Vitamins A, C and E and beta-carotene are all powerful antioxidants that protect the body against a form of cellular damage linked with sickness and disease. An antioxidant is a substance that blocks or inhibits destructive reactions. Antioxidants rid the body of free radicals that cause damage in many areas of the body by scavenging free radicals before they cause damage, or prevent oxidative damage from spreading. The traditional way to treat cancer and disease by mainstream doctors is by removing the tumor then by flooding the body with toxic drugs, chemotherapy or radiation. A viable option is to boost the immune system with vitamins. This approach is relatively toxic free, focuses on rebuilding the natural immunity of the body, enabling the body to fight the disease, and leaving less chance for harm to healthy cells or tissues.
