INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There is no scientific evidence that has proven that increasing the number of immune-fighting cells is a good thing. In fact, in some cases, increasing the number of certain "good" cells in your body can increase the risk of stroke.Medically speaking, the best thing you can do for your immune system is to live a healthy daily lifestyle and get proper and timely medical treatment for illnesses and infections. Zinc is one of the most important components of enzymes present in white blood cells, and a deficiency of this mineral can result in a weaker immune system. You can get zinc from meat, fish, and milk. Supplements are also available, but you should consult your doctor before taking them regularly. You only need a very small amount of copper to be healthy (the total amount of copper in a healthy human body is only around 75-100 milligrams ), but it does play a very important role in metabolic and immune function, neutralizing free radicals and possibly even reducing some of their harmful effects You can get copper from organ meats, leafy green vegetables, and cereals. That being said, too much copper can cause it to act as a pro-oxidant in your body, and in larger quantities it may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. As such, you should exercise caution and be sure to check with your doctor before increasing your copper intake. Vitamin C increases your white blood cell count and enhances the cells' effectiveness. It is also an antioxidant, which means that it prevents the destruction of existing white blood cells. In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin C from oranges, berries, and most citrus fruits. For adults, tolerable upper intake levels of vitamin C are about 2,000 mg . Vitamin A is also an antioxidant, and helps your immune system to function more efficiently. In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin A from carrots, tomatoes, chilis, and squash. Vitamin E, like vitamins C and A, is an antioxidant, and is also beneficial for your skin and eyesight. In addition to supplements, you can find vitamin E in olive oil, nuts, and some fruits and vegetables. Echinacea, ginseng, aloe vera, and green tea are all said to boost your white blood cell count. Selenium is found in tuna, beef, and Brazil nuts. If you have a weak immune system, you may need supplementation. Colostrum powder containing immunoglobulins is a convenient option since it is available over the counter (without a prescription) in the form capsules for oral consumption. For most people, a month of consumption is adequate every five years. If you have an especially weak immune system, you may need intravenous injections of immunoglobulins (polyvalent IgG antibodies) extracted from donor human blood. This is always by a doctor's advice and only if you have primary immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, severe inflammatory diseases, or acute infections.

SUMMARY: Be skeptical of "immune-boosting" products. Increase your intake of Zinc. Make sure you are getting enough copper. Get enough vitamin C. Be mindful of your vitamin A levels. Take vitamin E. Try other natural remedies. Consider colostrum supplementation. Talk to your doctor about immunoglobulin injections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A cookie-cutter product doesn't make for successful entrepreneurship. You need to have a unique product to make it in the long run. Look at the market and carve out a niche for your business. Ask yourself what the value of your product is. Find a way for it to provide value that no other product can. A small innovation on an existing product is a great way to differentiate yourself. Your product isn't necessarily what has to be distinct. It can be the structure of your company or the way you go about fundraising and networking. Whatever it is, you have to do something different to make it as an entrepreneur. This is true in all aspects of your business. Failure to communicate is one of the main reasons businesses fail. Communicate the value of your company to investors and consumers and communicate on company matters with your partners. Maintain real dialogue with your clients. Communicate through whatever channel is best for them. If you don't keep a dialogue running, they might leave you. If your clients leave you, your company will fail. Be clear, concise, and compelling with your customers. You don't want to waste their time. There's no such thing as too much communication with your business partners. Keep them in the loop as much as you can. There will, of course, be some decisions that you should make unilaterally without communicating. Keep those to an absolute minimum though. Your business has to keep up with rapid changes in the market in order to maintain a competitive advantage. If you decide to change directions to keep up with a trend, do so quickly. Long, drawn-out changes will only hurt your business. See trends as an opportunity. As the saying goes, the trend is your friend. Organize your company so it can survive rapid changes. Be sure to communicate any changes to your clients and investors. A frequent cause of business failure is a breakdown from the top. The founder has a scandal or does something to lose the trust of their clients. A classic example of this is Lance Armstrong. Don't make the mistake of thinking your business can make up for your lack of character. Remember that investors are investing in you, not your company. Identify areas of weakness and work to correct them. If you have trouble relating to people, work on your communication skills. If you have a tendency for benders or illicit activities, you must stop them before you become an entrepreneur. Investors always do a background check. Do everything you can to be likable and respectable. Conduct yourself with dignity, and treat your business partners with respect. You don't have to do this right away, but if you want your company to be successful in the long run, you need to have a proven revenue stream. Look at what similar companies did to make a profit and use their business model as a blueprint. Don't worry if you aren't profitable at the beginning. You will rarely start off making a profit. Spend your money building up an infrastructure and creating a great product, and investors will keep you afloat. Emphasize to your investors that the profits will come. Make sure you have a realistic plan for how to do that though. It doesn't matter how good your product is, if you aren't making a profit, your investors will eventually lose faith and your business will fail. Have a plan from the beginning on how to make your company turn a profit. Once the profits start rolling in, it can be tempting to take them as a bonus for all your hard work. Resist that temptation. Reinvest your profits to build your company. Think about the long run. Most businesses fail, so you should do everything you can to make sure that doesn't happen to your business. To grow your company, invest profits in marketing and sales.

SUMMARY:
Differentiate your product from the market. Maintain constant communication. Keep your company up-to-date with industry trends. Avoid founder dysfunction by being treating your company, partners, and clients with the utmost respect. Be sure to lock down a profitable business model. Reinvest profits back in to the company.
