Your immune system is very complex. What is it, how does it work, and how can you keep it strong? Learn all about how to have a healthy immune system, the immune response, and how to avoid illness here.

To function properly, it must be able to decide whether or not what enters the body is a good guy or a bad guy. In a properly functioning immune system, the friends and foes are identified correctly. To make matters more complicated, pathogens or “bad guys” can adapt and change quickly, fooling or tricking this system into accepting them, and then you can become sick. So it’s war between the good guys and the bad guys!

When a pathogen enters the bloodstream, there is an immune response. The large white blood cells engulf the pathogens and eat them up. The smaller lymphocytes have to be a little more clever – they have to adapt a specific defense to them. The B Cells identify pathogens as bad guys, then the Killer-T cells kill them. Helper-T cells help out, and when the carnage is over, suppressor T-Cells turn off the immune response.

Glutathione has been shown to optimize the adaptive immune system, and so it is very important to boost glutathione levels in order to stay healthy and ward off illness. Glutathione is a balancer, so if your are immuno-deficient , you will get stronger. If you have an autoimmune disorder, glutathione will re-balance it. It “knows” what to do, and gets busy doing it.

Our immune system is very complex, and requires very precise interaction and raw materials to do its job well. We can do our part to have a healthy immune system by eating well, resting, exercising, and optimizing our immune system by raising our glutathione levels.
