 Natural Immunity refers to a state where a person is immune to a disease and yet has never had the disease or any vaccination against it. The natural immune response is a pre – programmed first line of defense that is primarily responsible for eliminating or containing pathogens at the site of entrance into the host. Says Dr. Arun Diwan, Head internal medicine, Batra Hospital, Physician New Diagnostic Clinic, Chandigarh "Natural immune system serves well and protects most animals with its enormous variety of defense mechanisms. It becomes stronger and more capable of handling threats when it is successful in containing an infection on its own. Overuse of antibiotics, exposure to radiation and hazardous chemicals and the widespread use of corticosteroids cripple the immune system”. So boosting your natural immunity is a very effective method of arresting the onset of various diseases. Unfortunately the role of natural immunity in helping fend off a host of diseases has so far gone largely unrecognized. Building natural immunity is especially important in children, whose immune systems are not fully equipped to deal with a large number of diseases. A strong immune system would provide a child with the natural defenses to fight off many diseases. Again, the faculties of the immune system decline precipitously as we grow older. And this is especially true after we hit the middle age. A good quality of life in old age is dependent, up to a great extent, on the ability to manipulate the natural immune system. |
