| The  function of the immune system is to protect the body against the intrusion of foreign  objects, for example – germs, viruses, allergenic, and even inside enemies such  as cancer cells. | 
           
          
            | The  immune system is designed to work like a well oiled machine, with a few  branches – such as while cells – lymphocytes, antibodies, different proteins. On  all of this a specific white cell is in charge – CD4 – which is in charge of  the functions for the immune system. | 
           
          
            | When  a foreign object enters our body, which is identified by the immune system as a  threat, it is attacked by special phagocytes, and another part of the immune  system produces antibodies against the enemy, which gets entered into the  immune memory – and this is how we immune and prepare ourselves for the next  attack. | 
           
          
            | While  the materials are released, more white blood cells are recruited – this process  is called infection.  |

            | The Immune System’s Malfunctions | 
           
          
            | The  immune system can react too powerfully, or too weakly. | 
           
          
            
              - A too powerful reaction – is the allergic reaction. It is an       unexpected, unwanted reaction of the immune system to daily factors, which       are harmless and even beneficial that should not arouse any reaction. It       is an over-sensitivity of the immune system.
 
              - About 12-25% of the population tends to suffer       from allergy and it is clearly hereditary.

              | 
           
          
            | The connection of the allergens to the antibodies  on the surface of the mast cell causes histamine and other agents to be  released, which cause increased mucous secretion, blood vessels expansion,  contraction of respiratory ways, and Itchiness and rash – the symptoms of the  allergic reaction. |

            | A too weak reaction –  weakens our body’s ability to face the different diseases and increases the  need for medication. | 
           
          
            | The causes of the immune system malfunction | 
           
          
            
              - Hereditary – birth defects
 
              - Unbalanced, synthetic and industrial diet
 
              - Our daily stress and anxiety situations
 
              - Lack of satisfactory sleep
 
              - Extended use of antibiotics

              - Smoking
 
              - Exposure to radiation – Microwave, cell phone       etc.

            | We  are discussing a way of life that holds all the aspects of our life. If we  choose it – our situation will improve and our immune system could also  rehabilitate. The more we adopt these parameters, the better the situation will  become. This is the basis that is important to keep. | 
           
          
            | However,  since our daily race continues and there is no doubt that we can rehabilitate our  immune system entirely on our own. It is also recommended to turn to other elements  that help rehabilitate out immune system and other bodily systems. |

              - Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Echinacea, & Propolis are your body’s protection against harmful free radicals. Therefore,  they are your protection from aging, sickness or infectious disease.
 
              -  Adaptogenic products– products such as Ginseng (Eleuthero), with the qualities that enable to move  from stimuli to relaxation of the different bodily functions – according to the  body’s needs. They balance and normalize the physical and mental function of  the body and help it adjust and cope with daily situations that would have hurt  its function without it.
 
              | 
           
          
            Adaptogenic plants affect the adrenal gland and  improve the adrenal reaction to continuous stress situation. 
stress situation – physical and mental – cause the  exhaustion and wear of the adrenal gland, which causes a decrease in the body’s  natural resistance, and is followed by its malfunctions = disease. |
