Every superhero has his fatal flaw. True invincibility, when you come right down to it, is a bore. If Lex Luther doesn’t have a fighting chance, where’s the suspense? Why would he even bother? Why would we? It’s the chink in the armor that feeds our fascination. That allows us to identify with the gods. So Superman’s super powers are undermined by kryptonite and Achilles has his heel (though one could argue his fatal flaw was actually inappropriate footwear – going to war in strappy sandals? what’s up with that?), and we’ll throw down $10.50 every time to watch these guys fight to overcome them.

Now, we mere mortals may aspire to superhero status, working 18-hour days, juggling kids, careers and eco-catastrophe, but super status doesn’t guarantee invincibility (unless you’re Dick Cheney – is that guy a cyborg, or what?). But we do have a superpower, our own personal superhero, if you will. And in its complexity and armament, it far surpasses anything Bruce Banner or Dr. Doom could create. It’s not a cape or x-ray vision or even shape-shifting (though I’d love that one - wonder powers unite!). Our superpower is our immune system, and all those DC and Marvel dudes got bupkis compared to this bad boy.

Think about it, your immune system defends you against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that, every day, every minute, are trying to invade your body and take you down. But unlike Tony Stark’s power armature, your immune system protects you without your even noticing (like Wonder Woman’s invisible plane - cool.). It even protects you while you sleep. Did you know that your skin (the first line of defense in your immune system) secretes anti-bacterial substances? Oh yes. Otherwise you’d wake up looking like a well-aged piece of cheese. Most bacteria and spores that land on your skin die instantly (name a superhero with that power).

It’s when you do notice your immune system that you better watch your back. But frankly, by then, it’s too late. Your armor has failed. Your superhero’s goin’ down. Your fatal flaw has found its mark. For like all superheroes, your super powered immune system has a fatal flaw. True, it doesn’t have the glamour of a glowing green stalactite from outer space but in its humble bumbling way, it’s every bit as devastating. When it comes to your immune system, the fatal flaw is you.

Even with all its fortitude and intricacy, we lowly beings are able to undermine the genius of our immune systems each and every day with our bad habits and careless behavior. Smoking, drinking, stress, long workdays and little sleep, fast food and a faster pace, and perhaps most importantly, the mounting toxins we continue to introduce into our environment, are our villains. Some of these are easy for our immune system to handle, like that pesky cold or bug bite, but others are harder to fight off. Wouldn’t the Joker have a laugh fest if that golden tan you were so proud of turned cancerous and left you wondering how you’ll wear sunglasses without your nose?

For the most part, common sense can protect us from our fatal flaw. Eating right, getting enough sleep, moderate sun exposure and slowing down so we can actually see the flowers we’re trying to smell, allow our immune system to operate with near invincibility. But when common sense fails and, since we are only human, it usually does, finding a plug for that chink in our armor is like Spiderman’s web: you ain’t gonna swing without it.

And one sure way to plug that chink is with Immunasure from Sure Nature - www.surenature.com.
Not only does Immunasure complement building healthy immune system support, but it also contains what may very well be a superhero of its very own: astragalus. Sounds super doesn’t it? Captain Astragalus. Astragalusman. Okay, maybe not, but it does have immune enhancing properties that have been recognized and used for hundreds of years.

Astragalus, or Huang chi (them’s fightin’ words), is a plant native to Asia, whose root, when used medicinally, has been found to increase the production of immune cells as well as stimulating anti-viral activity. It’s been shown to reduce immune suppression following chemotherapy. It may also have a diuretic effect, lowering blood pressure and causing blood vessels to relax, thereby reducing the effects of heart disease. Studies also suggest that it may have renal protective effects. It’s been shown to reduce fatigue and may even combat the effects of senility.

Used for centuries in Chinese medicine to improve the overall function of the immune system, astragalus has only recently peeked the interest of western medicine. But Sure Nature is well ahead of the curve and with Immunasure, combines the immune enhancing properties of astragalus, with garlic, lemon balm, larch tree and Lactobacillus sporogenes, to produce a supplement that not only sharpens our immune system, but also helps to undermine that fatal flaw in our quest for invincibility, namely, ourselves.

Wonder powers unite!
