BBCi Health - The Immune System Guide - An Overactive Immune System autoimmune disorders. Misreading by the B cells, with false antibodies, or by theT cells or by the circulating chemicals can all cause auto-immune disorders. http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/immune/overactive.shtml
Extractions: Auto-immune disorders Normally the system runs such that the lymphocytes, the B and T cells, are able to recognise what is 'self' and 'non-self'. This 'self-tolerance' is important in preventing the whole system going into overload and the cells attacking everything they come across. Unfortunately it can break down and problems occur when normal 'self' cells are seen as foreign invaders, stimulating an immune response. The nature and location of the response will depend on which cells are being seen as foreign; auto-immune disease can affect any part of the body. So where the synovial cells lining the joints are mistaken for foreign cells, the resultant attack on them will give painful, swollen joints which begin to crumble - rheumatoid arthritis. Auto-immune thyroid disease and anaemias are other common examples. Quite why the immune cells start to get it wrong, is not well understood but there may be a genetic factor as auto-immune disease is commoner in people with certain tissue types. Alternative theories involve a precipitating viral infection (such as Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus) or following the release of previously unencountered cellular parts after tissue trauma. Misreading by the B cells, with false antibodies, or by the T cells or by the circulating chemicals can all cause auto-immune disorders.
Cbc.ca An internationally recognized expert in blood disorders in animals, Dr. JeanDodds, said she noticed an increase in autoimmune disorders among dogs. http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/mp30/ethoxyquin.html
Extractions: Ethoxyquin was originally developed as a rubber stabilizer. The Monsanto corporation later refined it for use as a preservative in animal feeds. Most dog foods contained very little of the chemical. But in the late 1980s, many companies that were making high performance foods began adding extra ethoxyquin. The foods contain more fat than regular dog foods, and the companies found the chemical to be a cheaper, more effective way to extend the shelf-life of their product. Not long after, some breeders were finding their dogs were developing unusual disorders. One breeder in Massachusetts, who has bred dogs
Fishing For Answers Beyond the heart benefits, it's claimed that fish can alleviate rheumatoidarthritis, psoriasis, and other autoimmune disorders. http://www.berkeleywellness.com/html/fw/fwNut05Fish.html
Extractions: Fish has been seen as a cardiovascular hero ever since it was observed years ago that Eskimos and Japanese people who eat lots of fish have a low rate of heart disease. The theory is that fish oil lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, makes blood less sticky, and perhaps even decreases blood pressure. Beyond the heart benefits, it's claimed that fish can alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and other auto-immune disorders. Even more health claims are made for fish-oil capsules, which take up lots of shelf space in health-food stores and drugstores. Fish is good food, certainly, but let's not go overboard. Here are the fish facts. Note: When we use the term "fish oil" below, we mean the oil you get by eating fish or taking capsules. While population studies look at fish consumption, clinical studies almost always use fish oil capsules. It's generally assumed that the supplements provide the same health benefits as the fish itself. However, there may be other beneficial compounds in the fish not found in the capsules. What's special about fish oil?
Resist - Ling Zhi Qi Tang - Immune System Booster Helps to modulate immune system functions, making it useful for conditions involvinglow immunity, autoimmune disorders and immune stress disorders. http://www.aworldofchinesemedicine.com/resist.htm
Extractions: Our apologies - this item out of stock. May we recommend an alternative immune booster Used to relieve the following conditions Resist combines 17 major tonifying herbs, which are proven to enhance cellular immunity. This immune system strengthening is of great value in both reducing susceptibility to illness, and in combating situations where diseases of the immune system comprimise our body's ability to protect itself. Through activation of the immune system, Resist is also said to be of potential value for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. Testimonial "I have a patient who has breast cancer. After the surgery she had to undergo chemotherapy. When she went for the second treatment, the doctors told her that her white blood cell count was 1.8. To have chemotherapy, your white blood cell count must be at least 2.6, so she could not undergo chemo. She was very upset when she came to see me. I prescribed Resist. Three days later the doctors examined her again, and the concentration of her white blood cells was 6.7, so she could undertake the chemotherapy easily."

Researchers at Imperial College London lead the world in techniques for revealing the structures of these molecules. How does a parasite camouflage itself against its host immune system? Why are developing foetuses not detected and rejected as "foreign" by their mothers? And how do defensive white blood cells circulating in the bloodstream know when to enter diseased tissues to fight infection? The answers to these, and many other questions about biological recognition, lie in small chains of different types of sugars that act as "identity tags" on the surface of larger molecules, usually proteins.

National Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome Network A non-profit organization dedicated to helping EMS survivors and their families by offering educational Category Health Conditions and Diseases Blood Disorders Eosinophilia to improve treatment for Ltryptophan induced EMS and to increasing awareness ofthe cause and effects of the disease and other similar auto-immune disorders. http://www.nemsn.org/
Extractions: Announcements Home Page Symptoms What Caused EMS? ... Physicians Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome was first recognized in 1989 in New Mexico. Three women sought medical help for a mysterious, undiagnosable condition whose symptoms were marked by debilitating muscle pain and a high Eosinophilia count (a type of white blood cell that is usually found when a toxin or parasitic infection is present). It was eventually discovered that all of the women had one thing in common: they had been taking L-tryptophan, a health food supplement sold as a sleep aid. The tainted product was traced back to Showa Denko Inc, a Japanese company, that had been cutting corners in their purification procedure to reduce their manufacturing costs. Additionally, they were experimenting with genetically engineered bacteria in order to accelerate and increase the efficiency of their production process. As a result, contaminated batches of L-tryptophan were placed on the market. Within three months, 37 people died and over 1500 were permanently disabled from using this product. By early 1990, officers of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the sale of all over the counter L-tryptophan dietary supplements because it was found to be the common link in the EMS cases. Research was conducted to discover the cause of this illness. By using high performance liquid chromatography, an unidentified impurity, called "peak E" was found in batches of L-T as well as nearly 60 other contaminants. These batches were traced back to one manufacturer, Showa Denko KK (SDKK), one of Japan's largest petrochemical companies.

Gadgets If you suffer from a condition such as osteoporosis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis or depression, you're unlikely to blame your breakfast cereal. After all, intolerance of wheat, or coeliac disease (CD), is a an allergic reaction to a protein called gluten, thought to affect only about one in 1,000 people. But now two American clinicians, James Braly and Ron Hoggan, have published a book, Dangerous Grains, claiming that what was thought to be a relatively rare condition may be more widespread than was previously thought. Braly and Hoggan suggest that gluten intolerance does not just affect a few people with CD, but as much as 2-3% of the population. They claim that gluten sensitivity (GS) is at the root of a proportion of cases of cancer, auto-immune disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions and liver disease. The implication is that the heavily wheat-based western diet - bread, cereals, pastries, pasta - is actually making millions of people ill.
The Modern Herbalist - Product Descriptions - Pantethine weaning from this or other steroidal pharmaceuticals, as well as those sufferingfrom Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Candidiasis and all autoimmune disorders. http://www.modernherbalist.com/products/pantethine.html
Extractions: We find Pantethine, the active form of Vitamin-B5 (Pantothenic Acid), indispensable as a support nutrient in addressing adrenal deficiency, immune weakness, normalization of lipid metabolism and a host of gastro-intestinal disorders. It is also a powerful ally in the body's fight against acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, powerful toxins produced by yeast organisms in the system of persons with candida (yeast) overgrowth and alcohol consumers. These toxins can produce severe cognitive impairment, fatigue, pain, flu like symptoms and lowered immune function by severely impacting normal liver functionality. Please read the articles on Molybdenum and FORMULA SF722 . Pantethine is also very helpful to patients who were treated with Prednisone and require weaning from this or other steroidal pharmaceuticals, as well as those suffering from Colitis, Crohn's Disease, Candidiasis and all Auto-Immune disorders.
