The Immune SystemSee Biomune OSF on next page
What Is the Immune SystemThe immune system is an army of cells that defend the body against attack. These enemies include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and various other microscopic invaders. They penetrate the body's natural shields, like the skin.What Is the Immune System's Function?Your immune system, the first and last line of defense, produces highly specialized cells to counter these threats. The mission of these specialized cells is to seek out and destroy any "harmful" invaders that penetrate the body's initial defense systems. This is especially important because these invaders can weaken the immune system.What Factors Affect the Immune System?Pollution, stress, the escalating rate of infectious diseases, and the ability of bacteria and viruses to thrive, despite the excessive use of antibiotics, are just a few of the factors that can affect the efficiency of the immune system.What are Natural Killer Cells?Natural killer (NK) cells are an important first line of defense against newly arising malignant cells and cells infected with viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. They form a distinct group of lymphocytes with no immunological memory and are independent of the adaptive immune system. Natural killer cells constitute 5 to 16 percent of the total lymphocyte population. Their specific function is to kill infected and cancerous cells (AAA Reference Laboratories, Inc.).Most of us have enough natural killer cells (cell counts) in our body, however many of us don't have enough natural killer cells that are active. These inactive natural killer cells are present in great numbers in our blood, lymph nodes, organs, and tissue, but they are not killing foreign invaders such as infectious organisms and malignant cells that constantly affect all of us. What You Should Know about Natural Killer Cells Activity?It is known that:

The
chart on the right hand side shows the average North American population has
below average natural killer cell activity (20 – 50 Lytic Units (LU) vs. healthy 150 – 225
LU). The study was conducted over 13 months with 107 patients, averaging 53
years, 50% of which had cancer, 30% chronic fatigue, 20% other including
lupus, allergies, fibromyalgia, chronic infections among others. The Result:
average monthly increase per patient: 28.25 LU
