The Human Immune System 1. Removes waste and harmful material, to ensure the normal function of the body. 2. Defends against pathogens – bacteria, fungi and virus. 3. Kills and removes dead cells that have been altered as a natural process of the cell rejuvenation function. ……is a complicated network of cells, antibodies and proteins that serves following three main functions: … is delicately balanced by a very sophisticated feedback regulation and control system
Immune Cells Recognize and Destroy: Invading Organisms and Damaged Cells Chemical message alerts immune system that an invader is present Immune cell “swallows” foreign invader
Cell Surface Antigen How does it work? • Pathogens, such as bacteria, fungus, virus, have carbohydrates protruding outside of its surface. • Cells that have been altered during the normal cell rejuvenation process also have carbohydrate antigens protruding.
Reishi Mushroom Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom is a fungus occurring as a shelf-like form growing on trees and stumps in densely wooded mountainous areas with high moisture and low light. The spores of Reishi have tough outer shells that make it difficult to obtain the nutrients inside. The rarity of Reishi is partly attributed to the difficulty of germination.”
