“This translated to fewer patients having toxic-sides effects on the immune system including myelosuppression (a serious side effect of chemo where there is a decrease in blood cells).”

“There's also a 2024 mechanistic study that raised a hypothesis that high-protein meals (with leucine—the key amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis via mTOR) may activate mTOR in immune cells, potentially accelerating atherosclerosis.”

“In light of the fact that we now know the body's immune system is afforded direct access to the brain via a network of lymphatic vessels in the meninges, it puts managing systemic inflammation in a whole new light.”

“The vaccine takes advantage of that alteration. It contains a synthetic version of this abnormal protein fragment, which researchers hoped would train the immune system to recognize tumor cells carrying the mutation.”

“Humans Rapamycin was first introduced in the clinical setting as a coating on implantable medical devices, such as vascular stents, to suppress the immune response to foreign objects. Physicians later used it to prevent organ and tissue transplant rejection.”

“When exposed to beta-hydroxybutyrate, pre-diet white blood cells associated with the innate immune system (the driver of chronic low-grade inflammation) did not alter their behavior; however, antibody-producing white blood cells associated with the adaptive immune system became more active.”

“•Improved immune function, reduced systemic inflammation, and improved metabolic health, as well as intratumoral changes in the form of enhanced blood perfusion, immunogenic profile, and immune cell infiltration.”

“Although COVID-19 commonly presents as a respiratory infection, the illness targets multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. In one study, patients with cardiac injury accounted for nearly one-fourth of severe cases of COVID-19.”

“There are a couple of mechanisms by which acetaminophen has been speculated to alter fetal brain development including acting on cannabinoid receptors, which help determine how neurons mature and connect with one another, altering the immune system, or by increasing oxidative stress.”

“Prebiotics are a type of fermentable fiber that is found in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, oats, quinoa, etc. Fermentable fiber feeds the microbiome which in turn produces molecules such as short chain fatty acids that regulate the immune system and brain function.”
