BBC News - The myth of a 'super-charged' immune system bbc.co.uk/news/health-60171592

Subjects like this come up from time to time and cut across our community. I thought this article was really good and some snippets below.

"The internet is filled with products that promise to do exactly that. From infused coffee to protein powder, from mystical roots dug up in the Amazon rainforest to vitamin pills, the list is endless.

But what a lot of people fail to understand is that the immune system can be dangerous. It's not a thing we want to be unleashed inside us without limits."

"In reality, nobody knows how many cells of which kinds and at what activity level are necessary to have your immune system work optimally. Anybody who says that they know what is needed is probably trying to sell you something."

Hi DesquinnYes I totally agree, the only thing that knows exactly what it needs is the body itself, sadly due to many, differentiating circumstances and issues; that have affected one’s self, it can be a long roller coasting, process to repair, heal and extinguish concerns if ever*
