What can cause a decline in efficiency of the immune system?
1. Aging. The efficiency of immune system declines with aging.
2. Medications, especially, long term, such as medications for lowering cholesterol, or lowering blood pressure. Medications can hurt the immune system, especially, those taken for months or even years.
3. Surgery, chemotherapy. Surgery and chemotherapy put enormous pressure on the immune system.
4. Radiation, such as X-Ray radiation, sunlight, or cell phone radiation. Radiation is known to change the ef the immune system.
5. Stress. Extensive research shows that excessive stress can damage the immune system.
What happens when the efficiency of the immune system declines?
Many studies show that almost al of us harbor some latent or chronic viruses, such as CMV, EBV, HPV, in our body, and that the more efficient is our immune system, the lower is the concentration of these viruses in our body. This means that any time the efficiency of our immune system declines, the concentration of the latent or chronic viruses increases, and the risk of developing a disease such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or arthritis, also increases.
Do you want to know the type and number of latent or chronic viruses hiding in your body?
Turn to your doctor and ask for a referral to a simple blood test that measures the antibodies in your blood against the most common chronic viruses, such the EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) and CMV (Cytomegalovirus). Note that the test needs to include the antibodies against the virus during the latent or chronic phase, that is, the IgG antibodies. Also note that the test can be either quantitative or qualitative. If the results are qualitative, they will show the type of viruses that live in your body. If the results are quantitative, they will also hint at the concentration of the tested viruses. Do you need further assistance, send us an email.
