Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Autoimmunity is the mechanism in which your immune system attacks your organs and tissues. It can occur when you are exposed to any environmental toxin that triggers an immune response, and it can affect any tissue in your body.#2 The immune system is made up of five different branches that work together to protect you from outside threats. The most powerful immune system is in the brain and made of glial cells.#3 The humoral/adaptive immune system is activated when the cellular arms’ defensive strategy fails. This is when the soldiers of the immune system launch targeted missiles called antibodies. Antibodies work like trained assassins, and they go after a specific target.#4 When the innate immune system is worn out, the big guns are called on more frequently, and higher levels of antibodies are produced that attack and destroy antigens in a process that creates inflammation. This is how the immune system keeps you healthy.
