The Immune System

Most of the health problems that lead to serious illness is associated with weak or poor immune system. Immune System is a network of special cells, tissues and organs that works together to defend the body against microbes-tiny organisms such as bacteria, parasites and fungi that can cause infections. The human body is an ideal environment for many microbes. It is the immune system in most cases that does the great job in fighting and protecting the people from these microorganisms to keep our body healthy.

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue types are involved in matching of a donor and recipient. The genetic make-up of a person’s immune system can be dogged by the antigens on the surface of these special white blood cells. At least 100 HLA antigens are present in human body.

The Science Behind Vitamin D : How D Can Boost the Immune System 2 years 3 weeks ago

In the spring of 2010, researchers reported they had figured out how vitamin D boosts the immune system. Vitamin D triggers immune response to infection by activating human T-cells. These cells are an important part of the immune system and fight off infection. Danish scientists discovered when T-cells can't find vitamin D in the blood, they won't take action to destroy invading germs. This allows infections to flourish in people with low serum levels of D.

Cancer Treatment 1 year 12 weeks ago

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected.

Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function.

What is an Allergy? 1 year 7 weeks ago

Allergy is an abnormal immune system response to things that are generally harmless to most people. When you’re allergic to something, your immune system may incorrectly believes that this substance is harmful to your body. Substances that cause allergic response, such as certain foods, dust, drugs or pollen are known as allergens.

In an effort to protect the body, the immune system produces proteins called IgE antibodies to against that allergen. The antibodies then cause certain cells in the body to release chemicals into the bloodstream, one of which is histamine.
