- 18. Body Defenses
- 19. First line of defense • Non-specific defenses are designed to prevent infections by viruses and bacteria. These include: • Intact skin • Mucus and Cilia • Phagocytes
- 20. Role of skin • Dead skin cells are constantly sloughed off, making it hard for invading bacteria to colonize. • Sweat and oils contain anti-microbial chemicals.
- 21. Role of mucus and cilia • Mucus contains enzymes that destroy bacteria. • The normal flow of mucus washes bacteria and viruses. • Cilia in the respiratory tract move mucus out of the lungs.
- 23. Role of phagocytes • white blood cells that seek and destroy invaders.
- 25. Role of fever • defense mechanism • fights viral infections • Some doctors recommend letting low fevers run their course.
- 26. Some vocabulary: • Antibody: a protein produced by the human immune system to tag and destroy invasive microbes.
- 27. Some vocabulary: • Antigen: any protein that our immune system uses to recognize “self” vs. “not self.”

Editor's Notes
- Immunity plays a vital role in maintaining our health. We should always take care of our body to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
- Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases known to man. Decreased in Immunity plays a vital role in its development.
- Infection due to virues, bacteria, parasites are always occurring in our body. With excellent immunity we are able to ward off these deadly complications of infectious diseases
- If You Could See the Invisible World That Your Immune System Battles Everyday— You’d Be Terrified The invisible, harmful agents your immune system has to fight every day are downright scary. To make matters worse, your immune response becomes much weaker as you age. In fact, foreign cells that invade the body and defeat the immune system actually age your body prematurely. You’re exposed daily to hundreds of different toxins and these are attacking cells.
- Here’s a Simple Example: You’ve just been grocery shopping, and without knowing it, the person who used the shopping cart before you had an invisible, very unfriendly invader on their hands. Now it’s on YOU, and in YOUR body. And speaking of groceries, during a recent contaminated food scare, our government warned that older population and others with impaired immune systems were especially vulnerable.
- Drinking too much sugary drinks actually decreases our immune system. And if you are diabetic, the destruction of tissues is more felt by the body.
- This is another example of sweet food. They should be avoided at all cost since they promote inflammation in the body.
- Fried foods are dangerous due to production of trans fatty acids which could block the arteries.
- Saturated fats in red meat can clog our arteries.
- Toxic effects of pollution can decrease our immune system.
- Excessive exercise can produce too much waste in the body. Thus anti oxidants to clean these harmful entities is needed by the body.
- MIME works as a prebiotic: it supports the growth of beneficial gut flora populations (Bifidobacteria). This is another, indirect mechanism by which MIME contributes to positively balance the immune system. MIME consumption improves gut epithelial cell function and results in a reduction of gut inflammation markers.
- Elfahex is able to maintain good bacteria inside the gut for better health
- The human papilloma virus causes skin warts.
- Elfahex was proven to eradicate HPV infection
- We need to eradicate HPV since it may cause skin cancer.
- But very important it is the primary cause of cervical cancer.
- Influenza is very common especially in the erderly. It is manifested by fever, colds and body weakness.
- Quality of life is critical especially in those patients with late stage cancers. We want them to live happier and free from pain. Elfahex is able to improve the lives of these patients.
