Questions about Immunity & Autoimmunity?

[Kumar]

Hello,

What tells us pathologically, whether we are immuno-deficient or immuno-strong? Are healthy or weak RBCs, WBCs related to it?

Can circulating old senile worn out cells trigger auto-immune response?

I am asking these questions in view of following notes as given in one book relating to some alt. system.

One healing agent's physico-chemical reactions indicates:-

One healing agent's physico-chemical reactions indicate:-

"It (healing agent) destroys old-senile worn out cells, esp. RBCs, WBCs and macrophages in the liver by taking away their water. Therefore, its deficiency results into excessive useless circulating; wandering cells in blood vessels and causes spherocytosis. Cells are enlarged but with poor performance. They block capillary ends and cause local ischemic and necrotic changes.
Its deficiency causes separation of old cells from growing tissues. They circulate in the body and become antigenic in nature. Thus the body produces auto-immune bodies against these cells. Therefore, it is useful in auto-immune disorders.."

Best wishes.

Can physico-chemical aspects as provided by me in previous post be the picture of weak immunity & auto immunity i.e. non-clearance or presence of old-senile worn out cells, esp. RBCs, WBCs and macrophases & their enlargement with poor performance in case on weakening of immunity AND sepration of weak cells from tissues, circulate in body & become antigenic in nature in case of autoimmunity?

Followings are good links on Immune response & autoimmunity but don't clear my points;

Sorry, i feel bit surprised.

Anyway lastly,

Just add two more indicated physico-chemical reactions of another resembling healing agents:-

"It increases bone-marrow activity to produce more RBCs, WBCs and platelets."

"Defective action: Initially it decreases phagocytosis followed by increase in phagocytes, by an increase in the nuclear maturity of neutrophils and macrophages. Thus, it protects against pus producing bacterial.. "

how can my previous mentionings be relavant to following consideration?

Cytokines

Cytokines (pronounced "sigh-toe-kines") are hormones made by immune system cells. They have a crucial role in regulating the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells.

At the present time, the main use of cytokines in cancer treatment is to lessen the side effects of other treatments such as chemotherapy. Manmade versions of cytokines can help the bone marrow make more white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets when the levels in the body have become too low. While this is important, it isn’t truly immunotherapy.
