Immune System in Health and Disease

Thomas Derick

The human body during its life span goes through numerous stresses including physical (trauma), chemical (metabolic and other toxic materials), biological (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites) and psychological (job, family and others) insults. In order to maintain homeostasis our immune system plays a vitally important role. With dedicated effort in improving our health, we are able to enhance our immune system’s efficacy with little adjustment to our dietary choices and life style. If we could maintain the optimal immune system, we would not have to revert to centuries past when we used to place a blame on ambiguous “bad luck factors” for our health problems. Citizens all over the world stand in high respect and admiration for the discipline and sacrifice of their nation’s soldiers.
