OMG people! Look at my #allergy eyes!! Everyone around here has big red swollen eyelids and under-eye areas, the latter called "allergic shiners." Benedryl, my new best friend.

Over 75% of people report feeling #stress that negatively affects their #physicalhealth. When the body is under that kind of #strain, #corticosteroids flood the system and lower #lymphocyte levels. When stress is #chronic, it affects all aspects of life, including #sleep and #diet. Managing stress through mindful #meditation and practices like #yoga protects the #immunesystem by stemming the levels of #cortisol and reducing the risk of #inflammation.
For my fellow allergy sufferers - this looks promising!
> That means an injection could stop all allergic reactions — not only seasonal allergies but food allergies (such as peanuts) and insect allergies for a prolonged period of time.

"For the longest time in the field of immunology, there was the sort of adage that your immune system needs to be tested every now and again to stay strong. That's an old-fashioned idea.
The more new-fashioned and evidence-based idea is that, although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives."

A study by researchers from the #UniCologne and the University Clinic Cologne shows that mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 not only trigger classical #immuneresponses, but also have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These changes may enable the human body to respond faster and more broadly to future #infections.

Check this canadian interview with a Mount Sinai (NY) chronic disease specialist. Up to one in five people with COVID-19 develop LONG COVID, meaning three months after having the disease they still do not recover their full abilities.
The specialist affirms that each reinfection, even moderate, of COVID-19 subtracts between 2-6% of IQ.
LONG COVID is a disease that causes systemic damage, especially to the immune system, causing T-cell exhaustion and triggering latent diseases or exposing the body to new pathogens from which it would have been able to defend itself before. Worth a listen:

Researchers discovered that too much #nitrogen weakens a plant's #immunesystem by limiting a #protein that makes the plant resistant to certain #bacteria: http://go.tum.de/821717 
go.tum.deWhy too much nitrogen is harmful to plantsEven for plants, there can be too much of a good thing. When nitrogen levels are too high, for example due to excessive fertilization, plants become more susceptible to certain diseases. However, the exact reasons are not yet fully understood. A group of researchers involving the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now taken the first steps towards answering this question. They identified a small protein (peptide) that makes the plant resistant to certain bacteria. However, its effect is limited when there is a high nitrogen supply.

Meet Carina Baer de Oliveira Mann, our newly appointed professor of #Biomolecular Cryo-Electron Microscopy, in the latest NewIn episode. She aims to identify #molecularswitches in the human #immunesystem that activate the immune defenses: https://go.tum.de/157504
go.tum.deIn search of molecular switches in the immune systemA decades-long search culminated in 2013 with the discovery of cGAS – a molecular switch that plays a key role in the human immune system. Carina Baer de Oliveira Mann was a doctoral student with the team that achieved this breakthrough. Now a professor at TUM, she is certain that there are more switches of this kind. She only has to prove it.
BIG HEMP continues to hype CBD extracts from fertilizer-ladden mechanized crops that carry heavy metals and toxins, as hemp is one heck of a bioaccumulator.
The clean and effective ancestral cannabic medicine is made from artisanal organic flower, and darn simple to prepare at home for many health conditions.
In the post linked I explain all the scientifically proven properties of cannabis tea made from dry "recreative" flower.
It produces little to no high, since its THCa and CBDa based (acidic raw versions of THC and CBD).
