Hi Amber,

You mentioned the immune system, so I thought I'd jump in here and mention something I read about a few months ago which (according to research) seems to boost the immune system.... It's a type of plant fats, called sterols and sterolins....

One branded version (based on the work of what seems to be the primary researcher into this) is Moducare.... They have a pretty informative web site.

Unlike many other products, they actually have done a lot of medical research which has been published in the medical journals on the use of this product (see under the "Research" section to read the abstracts). (This is the main part which impresses me, actually, the details of the trials they have done.)

I also read somewhere else that sesame seed oil also contains a lot of these plant sterols and sterolins....

I don't get any benefit from mentioning this.... I just mention it as a starting point for those who may be interested in looking into it further....
