Immune System Overview

The immune system is a network of biological systems that protects an organism from diseases. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, as well as cancer cells and objects such as wood splinters, distinguishing them from the organism's own healthy tissue. Many species have two major subsystems of the immune system. The innate immune system provides a preconfigured response to broad groups of situations and stimuli. The adaptive immune system prov...

Long Covid Symptoms

I spent a week in the hospital with Covid a month ago. I'm 71 years old with asthma and COPD. After being released from the hospital, I thought I would start feeling better. Unfortunately, I think I may have Long Covid, as I have brain fog, significant nausea, and no energy at all. I can't get an appointment to see my doctor for 2 weeks. Has anyone else had experience with Long Covid, or are these symptoms just normal for Covid? It's really hard to get any info here in Australia, as it's all so new. Thank you. ## I am 91 and experienced all of the symptoms you mentioned, plus a loss of 55 pounds due to loss of taste and smell and no appetite. Have gained back 20 pounds in the last nine months. Still a lot we don’t know about COVID in USA. ## I had covid 6 months ag...

inosiplex immunosin can prevent chicken pox?

I have chicken pox today. Can this medicine prevent chicken pox? How many times do i need to take this medicine a day? Do i need to take this after eating? Thank you. ## My son has chicken pox starting today. He is 8 yrs old. How many times will he have to take this medicine? ## my son who is 7yrs old started to have chicken pox last tuesday. the doctor prescribed us inosuplex 5ml 3x/day ## According to NIh.gov, Inosiplex (immunosin) reportedly has a broad spectrum of antiviral activity; so considering it's properties one could assume that it theoretically may help prevent or at least shorten the duration of chicken pox. My question would be whether doctors consider this medication as a first-line treatment option over other antiviral medications? Also, did your son have any success...

ivomec

My immune system has been severely challenged for many years. I believe demodex, as well as harvest mites has completely taken over my body, as I have small, round, white spots that now will not go away. The white spots have been on my person for years. When I go to speak to doctors, they politely inform me, "It's in your head"! Well, the small, round, numerous spots all over my body, mostly on arms and legs, are there, and will not even sun tan when I'm out of doors. I have found a way to keep the demodex, up until recently, and now, I've gone from a full head of hair, to being able to see my scalp on, the crown of my head. I am 66 years old, having 18 things wrong with me, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am, however a researcher and know what I have found. ...

what is trixazole used for

How many days does trixazole take to boost your immune system in order for your cd4 count to be up? ## Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in my investigation, trixazole does not appear to be the correct spelling of the alleged medication... Did you mean to say Triazole or Tinidazole by chance? Triazole is an antibiotic containing a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim; used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Tinidazole is also an antibiotic/anti-parasitic that treats a variety of bacterial/parasitic infections... But just so you're aware, antibiotics of this nature do not boost the immune system. They simply kill off the bad (and good) bacteria. If you're trying to boost your immune system, my personal opinion is that you can't go wrong with a stead...

Tanganil Acetyl Leucine

You can find this on Amazon. Pierre Fabre in France is the manufacturer I think. In France, you need a prescription. I don't know about the UK, but I am sure you can find it on Amazon over the counter. I have some but I never took them because they don't say anything about the secondary effects. Can somebody let me know if he / she experienced any side effect(s)? I have a very poor immune system and anything can have a devastating effect on me. I am usually very allergic to, for example SOJA, shower soap, some other food, etc. Please help. Thank you.

Tavalisse for low platelet count / chronic immune thrombocytopenia

A new drug by the name of Tavalisse (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) is reportedly being investigated for use in treating adults with a low platelet count due to chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) when other prior treatment options have fallen short. Chronic immune thrombocytopenia is described as an autoimmune bleeding disorder. In patients with ITP, the blood doesn't clot as it should because of a low platelet count. According to clinical trials, more patients who were treated with Tavalisse achieved pre-determined platelet counts, in comparison to patients who received a placebo. FDA APPROVAL DATE: April 17th, 2018 MANUFACTURER: Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
