Our immune system

Our immune system is one of our most comprehensive system of organs, therefore it reacts to external influences very sensitively. In the autumn and winter months the activity of our immune system often hits rock bottom. How can we strengthen, protect and support in a natural way the most important defence system of our body?

Our immune system is one of our most comprehensive system of organs, therefore it reacts to external influences very sensitively. In the autumn and winter months the activity of our immune system often hits rock bottom. How can we strengthen, protect and support in a natural way the most important defence system of our body?
Our immune system is exposed to numerous serious burdens in spite of our developed, civilised mode. It is loaded mainly by malnutrition, endless great stress, our unsystematic lifestyle without appropriate physical exercise and the thousands of chemicals mousing about us from our environment. Our immune system can make miracles even in our battered body : defeats the millions of offenders, which bombard us daily, identifies cells with a faulty structure and quickly removes them, recognises materials hazardous to our health and does its utmost to neutralise them. However, so that it can work perfectly we also have to support it.

How does the immune system work?

The immune system most often operates absolutely unnoticeably - it does not even come to our knowledge how it destroys the malignant cells with faulty a structure day by day, which arise in out body in millions.

The entire protective mechanism is controlled by the most important immune organs (thymus gland, splen, marrow, liver, lymphatic glands, tonsils). In the straggling and precise "operation" forces of specialists take part: The "spying" lymphocytes responsible for recognition through the helper cells quickly alarm the cells responsible for attacking and removing (lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells). Then the plasma cells start multiplying in huge numbers and at a breakneck speed, and release such proteins (anti-bodies), which disarm, neutralise the killer cells, and make the foreigners easily accessible to the removing macrophages.
