This question was asked by Timothy Brown, PA and merits a better explanation that we could give an FAQ.

Please consider the excellent description of the immune system’s under and over reactions to external and internal stimuli listed by Alyssa Ford in the Experience Life magazine, October 2007 issue on p.61-62 (www.experiencelifemag.com) under Immune Essentials:

“In super-simple terms, the immune system is responsible for distinguishing between the “self” and “non-self.” It then responds accordingly —supporting and defending the parts it perceives as “you” (your cells, tissues, organs, etc.), and blocking or attacking anything it perceives as “not you”. Our bodies’ first line of defense in this effort is known as the “innate” immune system, which includes skin, hair, eyelashes, stomach acid, sweat, tears and cilia (small fibers) in your lungs and nose.

The second line of defense is the “adaptive” immune system, which includes antibodies, antigen, presenters (dendritic cells and macrophages), attack cells (lymphocytes), and your own SWAT-like surveillance team of proteins and peptides (cytokines). Fully 60 percent of your adaptive immune system resides in your small intestine. But the spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, tonsils, adenoids, appendix and bone marrow also act as key staging grounds for these adaptive cells.

Our immune system requires ongoing maintenance to function properly; if it does not get it, the immune response can malfunction in one (or more) ways:

Over response to external stimuli: When the immune system over reacts to antigens in the environment, allergic reactions — including eczema, and allergies to food, the environment and toxins — are the typical result.

Under response to External Stimuli: When the immune system slacks on its job of countering microbes, you become more vulnerable to parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, including things like Staphylococcus auras (staph infection), cold virus, herpes (caused by the herpes simplex virus) and toxoplasmosis.

Over response to Internal Stimuli: A misguided or confused immune system can start attacking healthy organs and tissues, creating autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma ( a corrective tissue disease) and inflammatory bowel disease.

Under response to Internal Stimuli: If the immune system fails to recognize and clear out irregular cells, those cells can grow and multiply out of control, potentially leading to cancer — any one of 200 diseases that have the ability to invade and damage normal tissues. Ironically, the immune system sometimes the source of the overgrowth, in the case of leukemias and lymphomas.

While the immune-supporting strategy that’s best for you will depend on the nature of the immune-system challenge you’re facing, many of the most essential elements of immune boosting have their roots in the same tactics that support good basic health. These include things like prioritizing good nutrition and healthy digestion, avoiding toxins, minimizing stress, and giving your body ample opportunity to recover from the demands you place on it every day.”

We agree with this assertion and add, that Dr Fekete’s 2 stet rated Immune Sentry Treatment H (Immune System Regulation) using the ImmunOnOne self-healer is one of the best —if not the perfect— ways for that ongoing maintenance, Ms. Ford emphasized, because the left alone immune system can really be confused with both external (exogenic) and internal (endogenic) stimuli and can even be locked up. Treatments F and G are therefore equally important addressing the two sides of the same equation.

And thus one can appreciate that the emphasis is not on the boosting or strengthening of the immune system — although, that can be paramount — but rather on its regulation or control, so it will neither under-react nor over-react, but react properly. That is the alertness and right responsiveness of your immune system is even more important than its strength or the strength of its reactions. So consider this: You can get the right nutrients and chemicals from healthy food and can help its digestion with proper exercise and do all what Ms. Ford suggested. All that is good for you and will help you. However, what you cannot get from food and exercise is the proper control stimuli for your immune system, when that is needed. Only a properly designed and built external control system (exogenic to your body) can give you that and that is the ImmunOnOne self-healer. The only one of its kind.
