does pinadal disease hurt your immune system?
does pinadal disease hurt your immune system? i had surgerey 6 yrs ago. now it is back with an open wound. i am on antibotics. does it effect the immune system at all?

Suggestion by norton g
Kellen – Instead of “pinadal,” perhaps you mean a “pilonidal cyst” which occurs on the lower back just above the butt crack. It is fairly common in teenagers and young adults, and is considered to be a collection of ingrown hairs which form a cyst, often filled with pus. Some doctors at first treat it with cleansing solition and drainage. Often the pus-filled cyst returns years later and may require a surgical excision to cure. It does NOT hurt your immune system. Antibiotics may help protect against infection, but are only temporary treatment.

Suggestion by Paris
wtf is pinadal disease
anyway just drink water if it has to do with your stomach and vaginal area

Can you boost your immune system?
There is all these antioxidants at health stores claiming you can boost your immune system. Is there any benefit to this? Can it even do it? My MD said there is no such thing as boosting your immune system and that its a good thing none of them actually do anything because you would start developing what would look like an auto immune disease. So what the point of immune boosters? Scam?

For example I would consider vitamin C a scam, seeing how in every study (31 big ones) shows it does not prevent cold or flues. What does?

Suggestion by Rey Mistereo
Maqui berry benefits all parts of your body but especially the circulatory system. The reason it is so beneficial is because of the antioxidants it contains but these antioxidants are quite different from the ones so highly publicized in so many “miracle” foods. Maqui berry plants are harvested and the berries carefully processed so that the acidity is retained; this is why the berry juice is tart as well as sweet. Anthocyanins are a form of antioxidants that only retain their power if they are in an acidic environment such as the juice of berries or citrus fruits. They are what lend the fruit its dark color. Most supplements over-process fruits so that they can make them taste sweet, thus destroying the anthocyanins that are so vital to good health.
Antioxidents

Polyphenols are another antioxidant present in the Maqui berry. These form a shield that protects against the enzymes that cause out of control cell growth that lead to cancer. Along with anthocyanins, they are antioxidants that protect against degenerative diseases and help keep your arteries clear of plaque, cholesterol and fat deposits. Thus, your circulation is not impeded by narrow arteries and oxygenated blood can reach the areas just below the surface areas of your skin. Healthy circulation prevents pore blockage and delivers moisture to the cells, encouraging the suppleness and elasticity needed to avoid wrinkles.

Suggestion by Weise Ente
The only actual way to prevent an illness is vaccination. Nothing else comes close in the level of effectiveness. Of course very few diseases actually have a vaccine.

Suggestion by William T
There’s no way to boost your immune system. Sickness and poor health choices can lower its effectiveness, but nothing can raise it above the norm. Vaccines are helpful, as was mentioned, because they teach your immune system without any great risk.

Suggestion by Psychobenzaprine
Yes, you can. Get an adult vaccination schedule from the CDC and let inspiration overtake you.

Vitamins and weeds won’t do anything.

why cant our immune system fight certain diseases?
i just read about someone dying from a brain eating amoeba…why cant immune system just kill the amoeba? Wouldnt our immune system go crazy on something eating our brain? the one thing it lives for…also with other things like parasites whats up with that

No question about it – www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

This provides access to abstract summaries of vast amounts of credible, peer reviewed scientific information.

You need to be pretty specific in what you want to know as these are scientific papers, however you will be able to get an insight into the latest research free of commercial bias, voodoo and BS.

It would be a good idea to ask your doctor about taking iron tablets. You should also try having protein shakes to make up for the lack of protein your body is receiving.Keep checking with your doctor to see if he/she can map out a healthy diet for you due to your circumstances. In the mean time you’ll be fine.

Immune System Disease/Disorder?
Is there a Disease or Condition that the host’s immune system does not work, or is extremely weak throughout there life?

Suggestion by Gary B
There are lots of different conditions that are this way. Most are specific (like diabetes), but some are general (like HIV).

I can’t recall the name of the disease, but there was a famous movie about “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble”. I think John Travolta was in it.

How do I boost my immune system following illness?
I’m 38 and I’ve had a bad lung infection over winter. It was treated in hospital with intravenous antibiotics and inhalers but I’m still very tired and caught a virus last week because the antibiotics have compromised my immune system. I’m a self-employed scuba-diving instructor and I’ve got to get back to work asap as I haven’t earnt anything for 2 months. Thanks for any serious suggestions/websites/cures!

Suggestion by lighthearted
Take a GNC multivitamin and 3 GNC 500 mg chewable vitamin C/bioflavin per meal. I had horrible case of shingles and so once healed started taking these and have not been sick since. GNC is General Nutrition Center. They have stores all over and a web site. Research and “Anatomy of an Illness” show that large doses of Vit C help one resist/fight illness and bioflavin also does this. Also, try to be a vegetarian for better health and eat at least two servings of fruit per day. Fruit is the ultimate health food (“Unlimited Power” Tony Robbins). I do all these and have remarkable health.

Suggestion by kencan
Take soft food like porridge, steam fish. Stay away from spicy and fried food. Soft food will be absorbed by your digestive system fast and you will regain your energy back faster.

Can your immune system crash from isolation?
I have been living alone with my kids basically like a hermit for the past 2 years since my husband died. Can my immune system crash? I just got a job working with small children and have been sick off and on since.

Suggestion by <3 sky <3
Sorry to hear about ur husband

your immune system is affected a lot of by ur mental state and sicne you’ve been in isolation for a while your bodys defences are likely to have weekened due to stress and sadness. Also since you have been “living like a hermit” you have prevented exposure to bugs and viruses so your body hasnt not build resistance to them. Now that you are out and about, you are in greater contact with these nasties and they are affecting u easily. Just try to be healthy and hygenic and your bodys defenses should be up and ready in no time Also small children seem to be sick constantly so you are exposed to an unsually greater amount of bacteria!

Suggestion by Anama
Since the first poster already explained what is going on, I thought I might add in a bit: your immune system isn’t crashing, you are just getting exposed to all the new stuff that is going around. So, as you fight that off, you are getting your immune system revved up actually.
When I was teaching preschool and volunteering in the elementary schools I was sick all the time. I think I ran a constant fever of 99.8 all the time, lol! I would just get well over holiday and then come back, and all the stuff the kids have caught over break from their friends and family, they come in and share with the rest of the class.
Also, once I got well, if I switched classes, I would get sick AGAIN! it is like every class has their own germ ecosystem and if you get all the antibodies to that one you are ok and well, but the second you get exposed to a new environment, then BAM! sick again!
If you continue to get ill, then you may want to see a doctor, just to make sure you are not harboring strep in your nails or sinuses or something like that. Good Luck and I hope you get well soon!

Suggestion by Andy
Isolation in and of itself can result in stress which decreases immune function. And your stress levels are probably even higher because of the death of your husband as well the increased responsibility of taking care of your children alone. However, the most likely reason for your being sick more often is that you are working with small children. Kids are always getting colds and spreading their germs on everything they touch, and every time they sneeze/cough. Here’s what to do. Take 500 mg of vitamin C and 250 mg of Echinacea (available in most drug stores) once in the morning and again before going to bed. This combination has been shown clinically to prevent colds (though it will do nothing once you catch a cold). Also, WASH your hands frequently. Carry a small bottle of antibacterial gel in your pocket. Use it when you can’t wash your hands. Good luck.

Pharmaceutical medications are designed to suppress the body’s own immune system’s response, they don’t “assist” it. It’s focus is oppositional.
Holistic forms of medicine work “with” the body to help it heal itself.

What drug blocks the immune response used for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis?

Suggestion by The East Pole
I think you might be interested in infliximab, sold under the trade name Remicade.

You should also explore other related compounds that work on the same parts of the immune signaling system, adalimumab (Humira), and etanercept (Enbrel.) All these drugs are inhibitors of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF).

Good luck!

Suggestion by ★☆W.a.b.b.y✿❀
Because these drugs are autoimmune diseases which are caused by an immune system attacking itself. The medications used suppress the immune system.

The typical drugs used are Prednisone, Methotrexate, Imuran, Sulfasalazine, Arava. If your Psoriasis is mild then Plaquenil can be used, but this can also flare up the skin component.

If these drugs don’t work or aren’t effective enough, there are newer medications which are called biologics or TNF inhibitors. Some of these are Enbrel, Simponi, Remicade, Humira, Kineret and Orencia. These drugs are very expensive. There are new ones coming out all the time.

I hope this is helpful.

Suggestion by Margo
Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS) such as metheltrexate. They are used alone or in combination with newer biologic DMARDS.
DMARDS have no common properties other than to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Many were used to treat other diseases and discovered accidentally to help with RA, especially metheltrexate, which is considered to be the current standard of care and acts as an anti-inflammatory drug.
TNF is a protein of the body’s immune system that triggers inflammation during normal immune responses; however, when over produced TNF lead to excessive inflammation such as that seen in rheumatoid arthritis

Herpes is a virus but that was a good idea to treat it with antibacterial, just in case it decided to get infected.
Herpes spreads when you have an open sore and make contact with someone. Genitial herpes virus is always in your blood, waiting for an opportunity to pop up.
My guess is that you had a cold sore, which is pretty much the same thing. Just don’t let your body get run down.

actually Iron won’t help unless you are anemic. there are lots of things that claim to raise a persons Immune system, coQ10, any number of things that claim to do this but you should talk to your doctor and see what they recommend.

What does laughter do at the bioenergetic level?
I know there are 3 levels of laughter – biophysical, biochemical, and bioenergetic. At the biophysical level you are basically boosting your immune system functions. During the biochemical state of laugter it decreases stress hormones and increases your amount of fighting antibodies. It also increases heart rate, pulse, and attentiveness. But what does laughter do at the bioenergetic level?

Suggestion by Patrick oldie
I’m not sure because I have never heard of these levels before?
Looking at the question I would think, it relaxes the body and you would feel more energetic, than if you were stressed with tension? Please let me know if you find any thing different,has I believe there is not enough laughter in the world to day and that is why the world is becoming increasingly sick?

Interesting theory. I think it at least plays a role, because every time there’s a sickness going around, I always think to myself “I am not going to get sick” along with washing my hands & whatnot, and I never get sick. And if I do ever get a hint of a cold, I always think “I’m not sick, I just have a stuffy nose (or whatever)” and I’m better in a couple days.

Low or weak immune system?
If someone had a low or weak immune system will they have a shorter lifespan than people with a good one

Also my friend said he has a low immune system so he became a vegan

Will his lifespan still be shorter

Suggestion by Mango Boy
Nope, nothing like that, your friend is more prone to infections and diseases, has got nothing to do with life span. One can also increase the immune system with a healthy lifestyle, good food and exercise.

Suggestion by Billie
For a start your friend who has a low immune system is making his life much much worse, so I would encourage him to start eating meat again and other beneficial foods that he is now lacking good nutrients from.

Being sick or having serious illnesses will weaken the immune system, same as having chemotherapy for cancer and such will break down the immune system almost completely, but if a person is not suffering from a life threatening illness or on going chronic illness, then the immune system should be up.

Each persons immune system is not the same, even the healthy people, so don’t judge one person with what seems a few hundred numbers lower than yours as sick (whoops that sounds aggressive from me, but its not meant that way). An old persons immune system is going to be way lower than when they were 20 or 30 or so, now that they are say now 78, so you see numbers do vary very much. When an immune system is down due to illness even if that illness is unidentified as yet, they other signs would show that its done, but say they getting more regular colds or bouts of flu, so you see its hard to judge one persons numbers against another persons at any age.

Hope that’s explained things to you.
