The basic function of the immune system

The immune system is not an organ or group of cells; rather, it is a sum of the body's defense functions against unwanted invaders. When functioning properly, it fights infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

When it malfunctions, however, we become vulnerable to a torrent of diseases, from allergies to arthritis, and even certain cancer.This system consist of:

• White blood cells
  
  
• T-cells
  
  
• Macrophages
  
  
• Lymphokines
  
  
• Immunoglobins
  
  
• Superoxide dismutase
  
  
• Histamine
  
  

The overall function of the immune defenses is to correctly identify and eliminate metabolic waste, cell mutations and allergens. Immune processes are a part of every cell and affect all the systems of the body. A healthy immune system is essential for good health.

Common problems associated with the immune system

• Viral/Bacterial attack
• Fatigue
• Cancer
• AIDS
  

Interesting Fact:

• In any given year, roughly 50% of Canadian will catch a cold, and 40% will get the flu.
  
• 80% of all illness can be traced to stress.
  
• Also it's worth pointing out that 90% of cold and flu that go around are viral and only 10% are bacterial
  

The immune system, as much as any other body system, depends upon good, all-around nutrition. It is one of the first systems to be affected by undue physical and emotional stress, but bounces back quickly if nutrition is complete and general health is good.
