    ABOUT THIS BOOK 
    If you want to know how the immune system functions, what are autoimmune disorders and conditions, and how you can maintain a healthier body, then this book is for you. 
     
    There are ways to improve your immunity against inflammatory conditions and even eating disorders. Health is more than looking fit; the right weight, shape or, following yet another crazy, fad diet. We are what we eat, and it is most important to find out exactly how the immune system works.  
     
    This book provides great value you and will explain the immune system functions; how it becomes impaired, what are autoimmune diseases, what is proper nutrition, types of deficiencies and toxins to avoid, tips on eating healthy, how you can improve and strengthen your immune system, alongside other benefits.  
     
    Before you embark on any form of immunity improvement or diet plan with the help of a medical professional, it is crucial to understand basic immunology.  
     
    The immune system is an incredibly vast network of cells, tissues, and organs that coordinate your body's defences against threats to your health. Without a healthy immune system, there is no protection against billions of bacteria, viruses, and toxins that would transform anything minor from a paper cut or a seasonal cold, fatal.  
     
    So how does the immune system work?

      The Immune System, Autoimmune Diseases & Inflammatory Conditions - Anthea Peries

      The Immune System

      THE ANCIENT GREEK SCIENTIST called Archimedes considered the amount of water in the proportion of his body while he sat in his bathwater and this later evolved into the principle of the immune system.

      Scientists researched how our cells communicate that there's an infection in the body. How does the body know where to send an aspirin for pain relief such as a headache?

      Communication is carried out by eight vital sugars, not the table sugar type either. These eight sugars are significant for proper immune system functions.

      All cells have molecular structures called antigens which are like ID tags. Each ID tag informs the immune system if a cell or other structure is good or bad.

      A simplistic explanation might assist here.

      Immune system cells move throughout the body stirring other body cells and asking the cells questions:

      Do you belong to this body?

      Are you keeping well?

      Do you require any help?

      It is the sugars that the cells use, to code the conditional response answers, so that the immune system can understand the cell’s answers. Through this sugar code; eight glyconutrients, the cells answer either Yes or No.  If the answer is No, to the first question, the immune system presents an attack upon the foreigner, which is an immune system rebuff of the unknown intruder.

      Unfortunately, intruders or foreign bodies can mutate, so the immune system receives a signal that is unusual, and it must then wait for more developments. Mutation is the reason we have different types of colds and flu, discussed later in this book.  Such events involving immune system cell response might increase or speed up with a pre-prepared supply of
