Os Desequilíbrios das Doenças Auto-Imunes Estão no Sistema Imune?

Li recentemente um artigo num jornal local de interesse para o tema da Artrite Psoriática. Ele trouxe à tona os medicamentos biológicos idênticos usados para doenças como a AR (Artrite Reumatóide), também podem ser usados para os portadores de artrite psoriática. Destacou que existem cinco tipos distintos de artrite psoriática actualmente conhecidos. Infelizmente, mencionou, não há absolutamente nenhuma cura para a artrite psoriática.

Conventional treatments involves using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Needless to say, the common problems of the drugs and many others like them, are the range of serious side effects that could happen. If you currently use any of these kinds of drugs, you know what I mean. Interestingly, these medications are immunosuppressant drugs that actually suppress the immune system. Both psoriasis and arthritis are autoimmune diseases.

This basically means that the body’s ability to differentiate between self and invader is hampered. To put it differently, the body’s first line of defense, the immune system, is imbalanced. On the one hand, a sistema imunológico saudável is equally balanced and dynamic. Cellular immunity, which is, what occurs within the cell, involves T-cell and macrophage activity.

Imunidade humoral

Outside the cell, typically involves the actions of antibodies. In a healthy immune system Th1 and Th2 activity switches back and forth between the two answers as needed. However, an inability to respond adequately with a Th1 response may lead to chronic infections and cancerwhile an overactive Th2 response can lead to allergies. The failure of Th1 arm of the immune system along with an overactive Th2 arm is implicated in a huge array of chronic illnesses.

Se ambos os braços do sistema imunológico pudessem ser equilibrados, estimulando Th1 e diminuindo Th2, então alguns dos sintomas relacionados com as doenças crónicas diminuiriam, ou, desapareceriam e teríamos descoberto a solução para a recuperação imunológica e balanço. Com mais de oitenta (80) formas de doenças auto-imunes atualmente compreendidas, tal abordagem faria uma diferença substancial na vida das pessoas e de suas famílias.

One remedy for immune system imbalance (Th2 Dominance) is increasing glutathione levels. Glutathione levels in antigen presenting cells determine whether Th1, or, Th2 response patterns predominate. Increasing glutathione levels helps reduce Th2 dominance. Glutathione (pronounced”gloota-thigh-own”) is a naturally produced proteína fabricated within every one of the trillion cells in the body. This small protein keeps three crucial protective purposes. It’s the body’s master antioxidant, immune system modulator and powerful detoxifier.
