Your Immune System Works Around the Clock to keep you 100% Healthy
It patrols your every nook and cranny- attacking and destroying useless and dangerouts things inside you: bacteria, viruses, splinters, dirt, dead cells, even cancer cells.
It seems reasonable to suppose that the body is fighting cancer all the time and winning....early cancers are probably being detected and combatted in the body on a regualar basis. If you take this process and step it up in intensity, you have the 'miracle' of spontaneous remission.
Do You Have Defenses?
You have weapons to protect you: your sking and mucous membrane create a physical barrier to invasion; your digestive juices dissolve germs, urine cleans your urinary tract; and skin secretions kill many germs when you're alive - that's why cadavers turn ugly colors. Fevers 'burn off' microorganisms, swelling helps wash the system; special cells attack and devour intruders:macrophages, T-cells, killer cells, lymphocytes, antibodies and others, each with its own specialized manner of taking care of bad guys. You also have an internal defense industry that produces your armaments: your bone marrow, spleen, thymus, tonsils, adenoids, appendix and lymph nodes give you lots of high quality weapon systems.
What Are Immune Diseases?
But what's powerful for good can be potent for bad. An unhealthy immune system can overreact as in allergic or hypersensitivity reactions; can under react as in immune deficiency disorders; or can attack the very body it was meant to serve as in autoimmune disorders.
