How Your Body Kills Foreign Invaders

In this special report, we will look at how your body kills viruses that enter it. Viruses gain entry into the body through - the nose (the virus is carried in dust / pollen/ spray from a sneeze); through the mouth (food, drinks that are contaminated), through the blood (transfusion, cuts and breaks in the skin) and through sexual organs/ fluids.

A virus's worst enemy is the human immune system. When an unknown pathogen like the new coronavirus invades, the body naturally develops antibodies that can seek out and destroy the interloper. (Time Magazine, Apr. 28, 2003)

Your body has an immune system, which you can liken to your Ministry of Defence. Of the many immune cells - "NK cells", "B cells", "T cells", "anti-bodies", "interferon" etc. all have a function in keeping you healthy, when the virus has gained entry into your body, even when people around you are sick. Think of the times when someone in the office has the flu and others don't. The difference is the "fire power" of your immune system, and its Identification System - To Recognise And Kill Foreign Matters In Your Body.

"Who" Monitors Viral Invasions?

At the heart of the immune response is the ability to distinguish between self and nonself. Every body cell carries distinctive molecules that distinguish it as "self". Normally the body's defenses do not attack tissues that carry a self marker; rather, immune cells coexist peaceably with other body cells in a state known as self-tolerance. When a virus has inflitrated a cell, it changes some marker, and the immune cells then recognise this sick cell as "non-self".

Self Markers Co-exist in harmony

Non self

What About Drugs That Kill Viruses?

Viruses are parasites incapable of reproducing on their own. They're inactive—that is, until they burrow into a host cell, taking over its functions in order to replicate and thereby destroying the host. Inside the body, they become vulnerable to drugs only after they invade a cell, but any treatment may damage the cell as well. And even when scientists develop an effective vaccine or antiviral agent, viruses can suddenly mutate—potentially becoming deadlier and even tougher to eliminate.

How Does The Body's Immune System React?

Your "NK cells" - which stands for NATURAL KILLER CELLS (this is the proper name for it, as used in the scientific and medical circles and in general usage). The NK cells targets "non-self", i.e. cells that are not an integral part of you (or your "self"). NK cells are part of your body's innate immune response, and is in the first line of defence.

The innate immune response is characterized by the fact that it does not require prior exposure to an infectious agent.

How Do NK Cells Kill?

NK Cells contain granules filled with potent chemicals, and kill on contact. The killer binds to its target, aims its weapons, and delivers a burst of lethal chemicals.

When a virus attacks a cell, it penetrates the cell and injects its viral DNA into your cell, uses your cell to help it reproduce, and spread itself.

Your NK cells search and destroy these infected cells. In other words if the infected cells can be stopped early enough, it is prevented from spreading in your body. Remember it spreads alarmingly quickly - geometric progression - ie. 2 to 4, to 8,16, 32, 64 etc. in several minutes. It can grow to millions in a short time - in a matter of several hours and days.

What Is The Difference Of NK Cells Activity Compared With Drugs?

NK cell targets specifically, all "non-self" cells without prior exposure to the infectious agent. In other words the are pre-armed, fore-warned, unlike drugs.

NK Cell And Cancer

The NK cells are the first line of defence in your body. What else does the NK cell do? It also monitors and seek out and destroy other non-self cells - including CANCER CELLS.

When normal cells turn into cancer cells, through mutation, or DNA damage, some of the antigens on their surface change.

These new or altered antigens flag immune defenders, including cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and macrophages.

What Can We Do To Boost NK Cell Activity In Our Body? Would Certain Health Supplements Help?

That is a good question. Prominent scientists and medical researchers in the USA had conducted a 6 year study recently (late 90s) to evaluate all the popular natural supplement productys in the market known to be immune boosters. The study published in peer review journal in late 1990s evaluated how much a product will (or will not) improve NK cell activity. The study was led by a medical associate professor Darrly See who was with the University of California, Irivine. The studies were confirmed by Russian Scientists from the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

Studies On Immune Boosting Herbs, Phyto Nutrients, Other Biotech Products

A total of 196 natural supplements & herbs were tested and compared - such as Noni, aloe, cordyceps, ginseng, shitake mushroom, mitake mushrooms, shark cartilege, astralagus, blue cohosh, bovine colostrum, buckthorn, burdock, chaparral, dandelion, echinacea, garlic, gotu kola, milk thistle, pau d'arco, periwinkle, pycnogenol, quercetin, vitamin C, etc were tested. In addition, chinese herbs - alone and in combinations were tested.

One Substance Stood Out: TRANSFER FACTOR

The best performer was Transfer Factor, and Transfer Factor Plus. The latter out-performed the next best product by 500%. Subsequent research on cancer shows very promising results.
