How to improve immune system without spending too much money?
Q. My husband keeps getting a bad cough. NO, it's not H1N1. His immune system is low, and the constant temperature changes are taking him for a ride. Any ideas how he can boost his immune system without spending a lot of money?

A. Kelle is correct, he must eat more fruits and vegetables to boost his immunity. Carrots, broccoli, citrus, and practically any kind of plant food should help. He should cut back on dairy and meats. The immune system can be boosted. And that is not a myth, the top contributers have ulterior motives for suggesting otherwise. It goes something like this : " eat daily at McDonald's or KFC, forget about healthy food, Merck, Pfizer, et cetera, have these really good ( but expensive ) pills that will fix these health problems caused by immune system weakening diets. Cash or credit card "?

What is the difference between high tolerance with alcohol and immune to side effects of alcohol?
Q. This is Calvin. Being immune to the side effects of alcohol (from beer, wine, or liquor) is somewhat similar to having high tolerance with alcoholic beverages. Both don't have exactly the same definition. What is the difference between being immune to it and having high tolerance? This is a retortical question. And the reason i asked this question was to see what you think about it. Here is the following question: Would you want to be immune to the side effects of alcohol (if you have a chance and there is such advanced techology)? I am not trying to ask a silly question. Please don't say that my questions are lame and that I am ignorant or that I am crazy. Just to see what you think.
Asked by caltam84 - Tue Jun 27 02:27:14 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. No, high tolerance and immunity from side effects are two entirely different things. "High tolerance" means someone can drink a great deal without appearing to be drunk or tipsy. If someone acts sober after consuming a lot of alcohol (he "knows how to hold his liquor") then this is high tolerance. Rarely, there are people who NEVER have hangovers -- such a personj is immune to the sife effects of alcohol. VERY rarely, ther are people who can drink heavily wtihout any liver damage, so they are immune to another side-effect of alcohol. These immunities have nothing to do with whether that person "holds their liquor" and acts sober.

How Thimesoral amplifies the immune response against virus and not against healthy tissue and good proteins?
Q. It is claimed that Thimesoral is added to vaccine to boost the immune response. How does it targets only a respone against the virus and not against healthy cells and proteins that is found normally in the human body?
Asked by Curious - Wed Nov 11 09:58:07 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You are mistaken - thiomersal's main use is as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. It is used in vaccines as a preservative so they don't get contaminated. Thiomersal is not an adjuvant, which is a compound added to boost immune response. Alum would be an example of an adjuvant. Failure to react to the body healthy tissue is called "tolerance" and is maintained (thankfully) even when generating a powerful immune response to foreign proteins.

What is better for your immune system, antibiotics or getting over something yourself?

Asked by I Just Wanna Know - Wed May 6 13:31:01 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you are asking specifically about colds and flu, you are correct in not taking antibiotics. Antibiotics are necessary to cure bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections and strep throat, but antibiotics have no effect on viruses such as cold and flu. You could take all the antibiotics in the world when you have the flu, and they would have no effect on the flu, but they could effect how your body deals with bacterial infections and antibiotics in the future (create resistance). You should NEVER take antibiotics for viral infections such as cold or flu, but you NEED antibiotics to cure bacterial infections.

How can cancer proliferate, if the immune system destroys it from the beginning?

A. Hi Bobby. Your question is excellent and scientific researchers are studying this issue. Please note that Gary's answer is NOT scientifically correct. The immune system, through a process called "Immune Surveillance", does recognize abnormal cells and kill them. However, for a tumor cell to survive and become a cancer cell, it must "learn" to avoid recognition by the immune system - this is termed "escape" from Immune Surveillance. So, cancers develop because cancer cells have mutated in a way that allows them to escape from attacks by the immune system. Here is another key issue involving the immune system and cancer. If Immune Surveillance works, but the immune response fails to kill all of the cancer cells, the ongoing immune… [cont.]

What can I do to boost my immune system?
Q. I want to be sure I don't catch whatever sicknesses are going around campus this winter. I already wash my hands and such of course. But any vitamins, minerals, other foods or anything that will boost my immune system? Or does exercise help? Getting enough sleep? Any other tips?
Asked by Alice - Fri Feb 9 12:49:53 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Keeping healthy, getting the sleep you need, eating right etc. is very important in having a good immune system. Also, keep warm in the cold and cover up exposed areas is important. At the store you can buy echinacea which is an herb to "temporarily" boost your immune system. You don't want to take this every day for the rest of your life though because in the long-run it will weaken your immune system. Also it doesn't hurt to take a daily dose of vitamin C, and even Zinc can help as well. I personally call Zinc, echinacea, and vitamin C the antidote for common colds. If you have a cold you'll get better faster (along with plenty of fluids) and if not, then they all help to prevent them. Take care!

If a person has a weakened immune system, are they more likely to get cancer?
Q. My friend has just had a malignant tumor removed, and is planning on taking a trip to India in two months. I'm worried that her weakened immune system combined with the exposure to foreign diseases may make her immune system even weaker. I'm afraid such a trip could make her body even more ill, and that her cancer may return. What do you think?

A. Exposure to diseases and disease-causing organisms actually strengthens your immune system in the same way as vaccines do, by stimulating the production of antibodies. Interferon is a substance used by the body against cancers, too. If her immune system is actually weakened (depends on what sort of neoplasm she had), the risk of contracting infections would be the main worry, rather then weakening the immune system further. This would also be the case if she had chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which damage the immune system as an inevitable side effect. Psychologically, the sunny weather (not wise to go in Indian summer [April-July]) in November is like the British summer (Indian winter), and might generally help boost mood and morale.

A. They don't. If you clean your hands a lot, it actually makes them more able to contract germs.
