General HealthThe Immune System is vital to our health. A strong Immune System protects us from infections and other illnesses. It determines our vitality, and plays a significant part in making us feel healthy and well. Immunology has made great advances over the past 15 to 20 years. Scientists now know that the Immune System touches all aspects of the normal functioning of our bodies, and is directly involved in the cause of many physical disorders. If the immune system is weak, we feel tired and generally 'run-down'. We also become susceptible to all kinds of infections that, if allowed to linger, may cause chronic states of ill-health. We see this in conditions such as the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Illnesses such as Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus are now known to be a result of a malfunctioning of the Immune system, we know these as autoimmune disorders. Allergies, which are becoming increasingly more common in modem society, are also manifestations of disorders of the Immune system. Greater understanding of the Immune System has led to surgical techniques of kidney and heart transplants that have saved many lives. Some authorities believe that many cancers may arise out of a breakdown in the Immune system. Thus, you can see that the effects of the Immune system are far reaching and many aspects of our health depend on a healthy Immune system. Your call is important to us, do not hesitate to contact us
