Immune System and How it Works.

Immune system disorders occur when the immune response is inappropriate, excessive, or lacking and starts to destroy normal body tissues. The immune system is the natural defense system that protects our bodies from toxins, viruses, bacteria and other pathogens that enter our bodies and try to harm us. A healthy, balanced immune system can make you feel better… whether it’s relief from current health issues or that extra boost to help you feel younger or more energetic. It can mean getting sick less often, which translates to less money spent on doctors and medicines (and fewer sick days with no pay). It can mean better functioning body systems, which may prevent future health problems (such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis). It means improved intestinal health and function that may allow better absorption and digestion of nutrients and improve efforts to manage your weight.

A stronger, healthier immune system means a stronger, healthier you. It means stronger, healthier families. It means being able to do the things you want to do because you have the energy, the strength, the vitality, and the positive outlook on life you need to accomplish whatever goals you set for yourself.

How Does the Immune System Work?

That's a good question.  And one that scientists have barely begun to understand and explore.  What is known is that the immune system is involved in virtually every function of our bodies including our physical, emotional, sexual, hormonal and metabolic pathways.

The immune system is affected by many factors, including:

Stress Exercise Environment Pregnancy Age Laughter Medication

Mood Illness Diet Bereavement Hobbies Meditation

Because so many factors can affect our immune system, it is very challenging to keep it healthy and balanced.  The key to immune health is finding and maintaining this equilibrium.  A healthy immune system is balanced and aligned, this means:

Proper balance of immune products and cells The body is protected from foreign pathogens Supports healing and wellness Promotes good mental attitude Healthy absorption of nutrients

When the immune system becomes unbalanced, the body must work harder to try and correct the problem.  While the immune system may be focused in one area it becomes susceptible to other substances attacking the body somewhere else.  A vicious cycle may ensue rendering the body weaker.  Ever notice that you often get sick after a trip?  Because your body may be compromised by less sleep, rich food, alcohol, the air you breathe on an airplane, the germs in a hotel room, etc. your immune system must work extra hard to protect your body. 

When your immune system is not balanced, it is difficult for it to do this.

When an immune system is unbalanced, it can be in one of two different states - overactive or underactive.

Overactive Immune System

An overactive immune system may be associated with a problem called an "autoimmune" condition.  This means the body's immune system is operating in overdrive; in a sense the body is under "friendly fire" from itself and making itself sick!  The primary problem in autoimmune conditions is inflammation, which may affect any part of the body including joints, intestines or our cardiovascular system.  Autoimmune conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia and Crohn's disease. 

Some products claim to "boost" your immune system.  That is the last thing you need when suffering from autoimmune conditions!  You don't want to "boost" your immune system, but rather bring it back down to a balanced state.

Underactive Immune System

An underactive immune system doesn't respond as it was designed to do.  The body simply doesn't have the ability to adequately attack foreign invaders before they can multiply and mutate and cause greater harm and weakness to the body.  Symptoms of an underactive immune system are infections, colds, emotional distress and other immune deficiency problems.

IMMUNE SYSTEM DISORDERS:
Immune system disorders occur when the immune response is inappropriate, excessive, or lacking and starts to destroy normal body tissues. Active Immune Support’s ability to stimulate and modulate the immune system may be effective with many ‘Autoimmune Disorders.
