From Illness to Innovation

Some stories inspire, and then some stories change the way we think about health altogether. The story of Clive Buirski is one of those. It’s not a glossy wellness narrative with beach yoga and green smoothies. It’s raw. It’s honest. And most importantly, it’s real. Clive didn’t set out to start a wellness company. In fact, in his early twenties, wellness was the furthest thing from his mind. But life had other plans. 

A Diagnosis That Changed Everything

At just 28 years old, Clive was handed a diagnosis no young man expects: cancer. What followed was a series of intense, invasive surgeries. He underwent the removal of his tonsils and adenoids, a kidney reconstruction, an abdominal lymph node dissection, and the removal of both an adrenal gland and a testicle. The procedures saved his life, but the road to recovery was long and punishing. Post-surgical fatigue was constant and debilitating. Clive realized that conventional medicine had brought him through the crisis—but it wasn’t going to show him how to live vibrantly again. That part, he would have to figure out on his own.

The Search for Real Recovery

As Clive looked for answers, his attention turned to an often-overlooked part of the body: the digestive system. He began to study the connection between gut health and energy, immunity, and even mental clarity. It quickly became clear that without a healthy gut, the rest of the body suffers. What struck Clive the most was how common digestive problems had become. Constipation, bloating, irregularity, and discomfort were almost normalized. But he refused to accept them as just another part of modern life. His journey led him back to his South African roots and to a powerful plant that would soon form the foundation of a wellness revolution: Aloe Ferox. 

Aloe Ferox: Nature’s Digestive Ally

Aloe Ferox is a tough, bitter plant native to South Africa. It thrives in harsh conditions and carries within its leaves an extraordinary range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll, fiber, and powerful detoxifying compounds. It had been used traditionally by South African communities for generations. But to the modern world, it was relatively unknown. Clive knew he had found something special. Aloe Ferox wasn’t just another supplement ingredient—it was a complete digestive ally. It supported regular bowel movements, encouraged healthy bile flow, and helped the body eliminate waste naturally and efficiently. With this knowledge, Clive launched Immunologic, a brand devoted to restoring balance, supporting digestive health, and empowering people to take charge of their wellness through natural tools. 

The Flagship Products: Two Paths, One Purpose

Immunologic’s first breakthrough came in the form of two distinct Aloe Ferox supplements, each designed to meet people where they are in their digestive journey. 

Aloe Ferox Whole Leaf Caps

These capsules use the entire Aloe Ferox leaf to provide a gentle, daily digestive boost. They are ideal for those experiencing mild to moderate irregularity, occasional constipation, or just wanting to support daily detox naturally. Unlike harsh laxatives, these capsules work with the body’s rhythm, not against it. They’re also rich in plant-based nutrients that nourish more than just the gut. Users report feeling lighter, more regular, and more in tune with their bodies.

Aloe Ferox Bitter Caps

For those who need deeper cleansing or are dealing with more chronic digestive stagnation, Immunologic offers Aloe Ferox Bitter Caps. These contain a higher concentration of the plant’s bitter extract—the part most responsible for stimulating bile, detoxification, and peristalsis (the wave-like motion that moves waste through the intestines). Many natural practitioners recommend these to clients looking for a stronger effect without the dependency or discomfort that often comes with over-the-counter solutions. 

The Bigger Picture: Alkalinity and Whole-Body Health

As Clive continued to explore the body’s natural healing systems, one theme kept emerging: pH balance. Most people in modern societies are living in a constant state of low-grade acidosis. Stress, poor diet, alcohol, coffee, and environmental toxins all contribute to a more acidic internal environment. And that acidity, Clive discovered, is a breeding ground for fatigue, inflammation, and poor immune function. To help people bring their bodies back into balance, Immunologic developed pH Salts. Just a small scoop added to water helps shift the body toward a more alkaline state, allowing enzymes to function optimally, energy production to improve, and cells to repair efficiently. The company also provides pH Test Paper, so users can monitor their pH levels through saliva and urine. It’s a practical way to stay in tune with what’s happening inside the body—and take action. 

Essential Minerals: The Missing Piece in Modern Nutrition

Another gap Clive identified was in mineral intake. Today’s food, even when organic, often lacks the full spectrum of trace minerals once abundant in the soil. Immunologic’s Ionic Mineral Drops are designed to restore what’s missing. With all 77 minerals and trace elements, including a high concentration of magnesium, these drops support nerve function, hydration, adrenal health, and overall vitality. Just a few drops in a glass of water deliver ionic minerals that the body can actually absorb and use. These drops are especially beneficial for athletes, those under chronic stress, or anyone experiencing fatigue, cramping, or poor focus. 

Rooibos: The Calming Companion

Not every solution needs to be bitter. Immunologic also celebrates another South African treasure: Rooibos tea. Naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, Rooibos offers a gentle, soothing way to hydrate and protect the body from oxidative stress. 

Unlike green tea, it contains no tannins and no caffeine, making it safe for children, the elderly, and anyone looking for a calming daily ritual. Many U.S. sports teams now use Rooibos-based hydration blends in place of chemical sports drinks—a testament to the power of natural alternatives.

Inside Clive’s Wellness Routine: Simple Habits That Make a Big Difference

While Immunologic’s products are at the heart of Clive Buirski’s recovery and continued health, his wellness journey didn’t stop at supplements. Over the years, he’s developed a daily routine rooted in simplicity, intention, and respect for the body’s natural rhythms. For Clive, wellness isn’t about rigid rules or perfection—it’s about tuning in, listening, and giving your body what it needs to thrive.

Here’s a look into the habits he swears by—small, consistent practices that anyone can start implementing today:

1. Morning Gut-Priming Rituals

Every morning, Clive starts his day with warm water and a pinch of pH Salts. This gentle alkalizing drink not only helps flush out the digestive system but also prepares the gut for the day ahead. On most mornings, he follows this with a few drops of Ionic Mineral Drops in another glass of water—giving his body an instant infusion of trace minerals before any food or caffeine hits his system.

He emphasizes this simple rule: “Hydration before stimulation.” No coffee, no food, until the gut has had a chance to wake up gently.

2. Gut-Smart Eating

Clive doesn’t believe in extreme diets or trends. Instead, he focuses on food that feels good—and serves his gut. His daily meals include:

• Fermented foods like sauerkraut or kimchi for natural probiotics
• High-fiber vegetables like leafy greens and root vegetables
• Healthy fats from avocado, olive oil, and seeds
• Minimal processed sugar and almost zero refined carbs

His golden rule? “If it’s dead food, it won’t give you life.” He opts for whole, vibrant foods that nourish rather than inflame.

3. His Take on Coffee & Fasting

Yes, Clive drinks coffee—but it’s intentional. He limits it to one cup after breakfast, never on an empty stomach. He’s seen how acidic coffee can throw off pH balance, especially when combined with stress and poor hydration. That’s why he’s big on preloading the day with minerals and water before indulging in caffeine.

As for fasting, Clive isn’t militant about it, but he does believe in overnight digestive rest. He typically finishes dinner by 7 p.m. and doesn’t eat again until after 9 a.m. the next morning, giving his system a 14-hour break to reset and repair.

4. The Non-Negotiable: Hydration

It sounds simple, but Clive is adamant: most people are chronically dehydrated. And it’s one of the fastest ways to throw off digestion, energy, and clarity. He encourages drinking clean, mineral-rich water throughout the day—aiming for at least two liters, depending on activity.

He often adds a drop of Ionic Mineral Drops or a tiny scoop of pH Salts to his water to increase its absorption and help balance his body’s internal terrain.

5. Mindset Matters

Wellness, in Clive’s view, isn’t just physical. Stress, worry, and overdrive all impact the gut. So, he carves out time—even 10 minutes a day—for deep breathing, reflection, or stillness. It’s his way of calming the nervous system and supporting the gut-brain connection.

He often says, “A tense body can’t heal. Calm is the secret ingredient.”

Keep It Simple, Keep It Consistent

Clive’s routine isn’t extreme. It’s not trendy. But it’s sustainable. And that’s what makes it powerful. By focusing on the basics—hydration, nourishment, rest, and connection—he’s been able to not just recover, but thrive. These aren’t just wellness hacks; they’re daily habits born from lived experience.

If his story teaches us anything, it’s this: you don’t need a complex plan to transform your health. You just need the right tools—and a little intention.

The Four Pillars of Life: Diet, Exercise, Rest and Mindset

Exercise isn’t confined to the walls of a gym—your own body can be the most powerful piece of equipment you’ll ever use. The Five Rites yoga stretches, practiced daily with 21 repetitions of each of the five movements, can transform both how you look and how you feel in as little as three weeks. Pair that with the deep, restorative power of sleep—supported by calming ionic mineral drops rich in Magnesium—and you create a wellness rhythm that soothes the nervous system, recharges the body, and leaves you ready to greet each day with renewed energy.

More Than a Brand: A Mission

Today, Immunologic is more than a supplement company. It’s a wellness movement rooted in one man’s lived experience and a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal when given the right tools. From their shipping office in Kennebunk, Maine, Immunologic serves customers across the U.S. and beyond. Clive’s journey from patient to pioneer is a reminder that sometimes the hardest chapters in life are the ones that prepare us for our true calling. His work continues to change lives, one gut, one cell, one story at a time.
