Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Tina, I'm reading it right now. Fascinating book! ew Re: hehe I'll beat Melody If you are dealing with an auto-immune or immuno-compromised individual, then you need to talk to their infectious disease doctor about whether their system can handle the challenge of fighting off microbe invasions. It may be that for minor invasions, the immune system can handle it, maybe not. I have a friend with a rare auto-immune disease for whom very simple things have put her in the hospital near death. My advice is not geared for such indivduals. For the rest of us, yes, but not for those whose immune systems are wacked out. For such individuals, it is POSSIBLE to strengthen the immune system so that it can 'relearn " how to do it's job. For this, probiotics are what is needed. I know it may sound counter-intuitive but some auto-immune disorders are actually from immune systems run amuk--overactive rather than underactive. Probiotics actually go in and calm the immune system down--kinda like a mom going into a group of wild teens and using her mommy voice calms down the situation. (And, for underactive immune systems, it does the reverse...weird but lovely.) Probiotics do this for a wacked out immune system. To understand more of how this works read the book " Probiotic Revolution " , written by a professor of immunology at Eastern Michigan University. Very very understandable book and very effective at explaining how probiotics interact with our immune system. Tina - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
