Abacus: An ancient type of calculator that performs arithmetic functions by manually sliding counters on rods or in grooves.

Biomarkers of inflammatory disease are pro-inflammatory molecular mediators have been identified to monitor pathological inflammation . Such biomarkers are associated with insult, trauma and disease pathology and are influenced by phytonutrients. These mediators include complement reactive protein (CPR) and inflammatory cytokines such as interleukins (IL), IL1, IL6, IL-8. or TNF.

A biomarker is a substance used as an indicator of a biologic state. It is a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biologic processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.  -- Wikipedia

Blue zones are scientifically documented geographical locations where dietary and cultural conditions predispose the populace to both longer and healthier lives.

Dietary caloric restriction (DCR) is an extreme diet that drastically reduces caloric intake to the razors edge of, but without malnutrition and achieves many aspects of a Panacea.

Caduceus is a symbol of traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine, later adapted by ancient Greek mythology and medicine, and now a universal symbol of modern medicine and science.

Epigenetics expression can be turned on or off by environmental factors to include stress and diet and associated phytonutrients. This can provide a short term flexible and reversible genetic program to supplement the relatively constant factor of the DNA sequence code that can only be changed by mutations. This can cause profound changes in individuals and their offspring to include immune response and susceptibility to disease. 

"In biology, the term epigenetics refers to heritable changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence (hence the name epi - 'in addition to' - genetics)." -- Wikipedia.org

French Paradox reflects how a cultural selection for consumption of red wine high in phytonutrient content can help counters poor dietary habits and improves health.

The French paradox is the observation that the French suffer a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats. The phenomenon was first noted by Irish physician Samuel Black in 1819. The term French paradox was coined by Dr. Serge Renaud, a scientist from Bordeaux University in France in 1992.

ImmuneACCORD™ is a form of Integrated Medicine that encompasses the science of phytonutrition and phytotherapy to forge hard links between traditional and modern medicine.

Inflammation is a part of the bodies normal immune response to insult, injury, infection and disease. Definition: (Latin, inflamatio, to set on fire) is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection, the two are not synonymous: infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is the response of the organism to the pathogen.

Natraceutical is a product occurring in nature with pharmacological properties.

Nutriceutical is a naturally occurring food, food extract or product with beneficial effect on human health.

Panacea: A "cure-all" or treatment for a broad spectrum of diseases that can maintain health and promote longevity.

Physiological:  Being in accord with or characteristic of the normal functioning of a living organism.

Phytochemicals are plant-derived compounds many of which are consumed as dietary phytonutrients. These plant "stress chemicals" that can benefit stress pathways in both plants and animals.

Phytonutrition uses plant phytonutrients to physiologically achieve health maintenance and prophylaxis of disease.

Phytotherapy uses phytochemicals to include phytonutrients for achieving pharmacological actions.

"Reasoning for Seasoning" concept for health benefits of spice phytonutrients expressed in article by Aggarawal & Shishodia, two pioneers in the field.

Shamans are intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds. They can treat illness and are capable of entering supernatural realms to provide answers for humans. -- Wikipedia.org

Summative synergy represents the total efficacy of the multiple phytonutrient contained in Immune ACCORD™ formulations that can be further combined with diet and drugs to achieve maximum efficacy.

The Summative Synergy Product Group (SPG) ImmuneACCORD technology was developed by a group of international scientists, the Summative Synergy Product Group (SPG), as integrated medicine that combines traditional and modern medical practices.

Traditional medicine I indigenous herbal or folk medicine that developed over centuries within various societies and formed the foundations of modern medicine.

The term traditional medicine (Indigenous medicine or folk medicine) describes medical knowledge systems, which developed over centuries within various societies before the era of modern medicine; traditional medicines include practices such as herbal medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, Unani medicine, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, Siddha Medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, South African Muti, Yoruba Ifa, as well as other medical knowledge and practices all over the globe. -- Wikipedia

WHO (World Health Organization) defines traditional medicine as: the health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal and mineral based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly or in combination to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being. (-- World Health Organization 2003 ).

Visceral Fat:  Fat located in the peritoneal cavity (abdominal area) that surrounds the body's internal organs.

Yin-yang (or Ying Yang) symbol of Chinese philosophy and traditional medicine encompasses transition and balance of opposite forces in nature.

Phytochemicals are plant-derived chemical compounds under scientific research for their potential health-promoting properties. "Phytonutrients" are plant-derived essential nutrients scientifically confirmed as important to human health. -- Wikipedia.org
Synergy (from the Greek syn-ergo meaning working together) is the term used to describe a situation where the final outcome of a system is greater than the sum of its parts. -- Wikipedia.org
Homeostasis (from Greek: "to stand" lit. "to stand equally"; coined by Walter Bradford Cannon) is the property of either an open system or a closed system, especially a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition. Multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustment and regulation mechanisms make homeostasis possible. The concept came from that of milieu interieur that was created by Claude Bernard and published in 1865. -- Wikipedia.org
In biology, the term epigenetics refers to heritable changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence (hence the name epi - "in addition to" - genetics). -- Wikipedia.org

Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceutical, refers to extracts of foods claimed to have a medicinal effect on human health. The nutraceutical is usually contained in a medicinal format such as a capsule, tablet or powder in a prescribed dose. -- Wikipedia.org
 

ImmuneACCORD technology is made possible by the ever-increasing scientific proof for a common role for abnormal inflammation in insult, injury and most disease, and scientific experimentation on the influence of dietary levels of plant phytonutrients on inflammatory pathways, the epigeneome and disease.
