Avatar f tn When I get sick with a cold, or any virus that invades my body, my immune system attacks it and I get better. Because I have had HepC for so long, and my immune system has constantly been trying to battle it, doesn't that mean that it has not had the same strength to battle other illnesses at the same time? When I look back, before I knew I hade HepC, everytime I even got a cold, it took me about 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of it and everyone else in my family was over it in 4 to 5 days.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have a friend who has a weakend immune system due to medications from a transplant. She is now worried she contracted an STD from her boyfriend who cheated on her.

9277671 tn?1402804300 HI impulsive57 and welcome to the forum. I will give you some information which may surprise you. Cut out carbs as much as possible! Grains, sugars, wheat, white flour, cookies,, sweets etc. and eliminate gluten 100%.!

Avatar f tn Both are essential fatty acids but you want more Omega 3 than Omega 6. Avoid processed seed and vegetable oils high in Omega-6 such as sunflower, corn, soybean and cottonseed oils. The types of omega-3s called DHA and EPA, have the strongest health benefits. The best food source of both DHA and EPA is cold water fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, mackeral, tuna. You can also take Omega 3 supplements.

Avatar n tn Is there any correlation between immune system strength and the time that antibodies start to produce during the window period, in the HIV+ cases? In other words, the stronger the immune system, the earlier the antibodies start to appear? The reason I am asking this is that, I heard if the immune system is weak or non-existant, in case of sever cancer, the antibodies start to be showing up later during the window period(maybe later than three months).
Avatar f tn Researchers have found that sugar, even just 1 teaspoon, impairs your immune system by 50 percent for up to a few hours after consumption. And if you eat a little bit of sugar now and then throughout the day, your immune system will be impaired by 50 percent ALL DAY LONG! At lectures given back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, pioneering University of Alabama nutrition researcher Professor Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., first explained sugar’s hold on the immune system.

1262322 tn?1287412786 Since several years my immune system seems to get worse and worse. Wheat and dairy cause stomach pain and skin reactions so I try never to eat these products. But I also had uveitis three times in the last three years. Skin rashes - apparently caused by stress, extremely bad flues, constant tiredness... and don't get the wrong idea, I'm no wimp and I rarely complain. I'm just wondering, is there anything we Aspies should take to help our immune system?

This is often monitored by ‘absolute neutrophil count’, available in his Complete Blood Count (CBC test). If this is the case, medical intervention may be required. Preferably, an injectable drug called Neupogen is ordered to encourage production of white blood cells.
