Immune System Disorders

Dr. Anju Mather, who runs the Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles

, has become quite an expert in enhancing immune systems. Making the immune system stronger alleviates a myriad of health problems, because the body is then healing itself. It can make a big change in the health of an individual.

Immune Enhancement Therapy can be carried out in several different ways. The key to finding the successful treatment is finding out exactly what the problem is. There are three different directions, checking your inflammatory cytokines, which regulate the immune system, checking your insulin resistance, and checking your hormones in terms of adrenal glands. Those all play a role in the immune function in the body.

Nutrition

Nutrition is very important in restoring the immune system and this approach is often used. Sometimes IV drips are used to speed up a nutritional handing, especially IV drips of Vitamin C. Depending on the results of the tests, sometimes a hormone replacement therapy is indicated.

Babies are born with a very tiny gland called thymus. As a child gets older this gland rapidly disappears. But apparently the products of this gland regulate immunity for the rest of the person's life. Introducing thymus proteins to the body with a weakened immune system often greatly improves immunity.

Evaluating the Individual

Great results come about from proper testing and evaluation. Each individual patient can be different, requiring different therapies or different quantities in a specific therapy. Once the weaknesses are isolated, success ensues.

Dr. Mather recounted a particular individual who had to take antibiotics every month because he had recurring infections. After immune enhancement therapy, he no longer needed antibiotics because he was no longer getting ill.

Immune enhancement therapy is a very positive treatment for what is known as "sub-clinical chronic low grade infections." In this situation the person often doesn't even know he is ill, although he doesn't feel good. The low-grade infections keep the immune system chronically active, eventually wearing it out. Once the immune system is bolstered, the infections cease and the patient experiences relief. It also makes the doctor glad to see such positive results.

A very key concept in treating the immune system weaknesses is determining what is making it weak. Once testing is done, the route to handling the situation can easily be seen.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is indicated when it turns out that hormones are the cause of the weakness of the immune system. The adrenal glands have a lot to do with the immune system, and if they are exhausted, a person can contract chronic illnesses.

Chronic infection and inflammation tend to just make the body weaker and weaker as time goes on. Correct dosages of vitamins and other supplements prescribed per test results, can bolster the immune system and return the body to health.

A longer happier life for the individual is the goal of Angel Longevity Medical Center, and immune enhancement therapy is a key to making it so.
