Limu, Fucoidan, and the Immune System?

nutrition, LIMU

Inside Your Immune System

The immune system is the body’s natural defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. It consists of a complex network of specialized cells that defend the body against attacks and can also fight cancers. This battle by our immune system is continuous, and without it we would quickly be ravaged by diseases.

A healthy immune system recognizes antigens that threaten your health and, through precise cell-to-cell communication, marshals forces to defend against and attack any “invaders”. After absorbing the foreign invader, special cells called macrophages secrete growth factors that promote a controlled inflammatory reaction to initiate the wound healing process.

Sometimes our immune system attacks our own cells. When that happens, the result is an autoimmune disease, such as Lupus erythermatosis (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. Unfortunately, modern medicine has no cures, and treatments, such as steroids, can damage tissues, bones, and our immune system.
