What is the immune system all about?

Its function is to protect the body against infection and cancer. It is having your own army of organs, cells and equipment that can communicate with the killers and the helpers. You can also look at it as a football team going out there to fight and win the game.  How strong is your team, are your players weak or do you have strong healthy players?

You become ill when the immune system has been overworked or weakened due to stress, poor nutrition, or toxic elimination.  When you are run down and do not sleep the proper hours to heal the body will start shutting itself down to repair itself.  The body was made to help itself.

There are two types of immune system disorders.  Immunodeficiency diseases, meaning weakened immune function. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system starts attacking the healthy cells.
