Four Major Immune Combat Strategies

In order to triumph over the immune war, we have to observe the following four immune combat strategies:-

1) To eliminate the enemies (viruses) at the very first instant: Mobilizing the combatant cells in the first line of defence to exterminate the invading viruses, whatever their number.

2) To replenish enough immune cells fast: In the event that combatant cells in the first line of defence fail to exterminate all the viruses, mobilizing the combatant cells in the second line of defence as reinforcement.

3) To avoid over-reactions of the immune cells: As all the combatant cells have already been mobilized by this stage, confusion arises and wrongful killings become inevitable; efforts to curb oversensitivity of the immune system thus become necessary.

4) To produce antibodies fast: Sealing victory within the shortest possible time by maximizing the production of the ultimate weaponry (antibodies).

During the SARS outbreak in 2003, the above immune combat strategies were adopted by National Taiwan University Hospital and recorded the highest rate of recovery. In the first stage of treatment, antiviral drugs were used. The objective was to inhibit the proliferation of the viruses.

In the second stage, immune suppressant drugs (steroids) were administered and the objective was to curb over-reactions of the immune cells. In the third stage, some of the patients were prescribed with antibody isotype drugs (immuno-globulin, the complex of a class of antibodies that shares similar functions as an antibody). The objective was to reduce vital activities to a stand-still.

The Five Immuno-Modulation Functions of Yung Kien Ganoderma
As of today, Yung Kien Ganoderma is still unsurpassed by similar products in that it possesses up to five, the most complete so far, immuno modulation functions:

1) capable of promoting the production of antibodies
2) capable of enhancing the proliferation of immune cells
3) capable of modulating the functions of T cells
4) capable of enhancing the vitality of natural killer cells
5) capable of enhancing the vitality of phagocytes

Items 4) and 5) refer to combatant cells in the first line of defence. If they fail to prevail in the war, the combatant cells in the second line of defence will swing into action (through the production of more T cells and B cells).

On one hand, Yung Kien Ganoderma features combatant capabilities in both the first and second lines of defence. On the other, it helps modulate the functions of T cells, which allow our body to produce antibodies as the ultimate weaponry to seal the victory in the immune war within the shortest possible time.

The immuno modulation functions of Yung Kien Ganoderma supplement the four strategies in the immune war in the following manners:

1) Eliminate the enemies at the first instant: Yung Kien Ganoderma is capable of promoting the vitality of natural killer cells (by 100%) and elevating their ability to engulf viruses (by 80%).

2) Replenish enough immune cells fast: Yung Kien Ganoderma is capable of facilitating a reinforcement of combatant immune cells in the first line of defence by promoting the proliferation of T cells and B cells, which are combatant immune cells in the second line of defence, to elevate the combat capability by 50%.

3) Avoid over-reactions of the immune cells: In an immune war, T cells are the ones that tend to show excessive response. In this respect, Yung Kien Ganoderma can specifically modulate the functions of the T cells, as it contains Ganoderic acids that possess the ability to inhibit the differentiation of Th2 cells, while its another effective constituent polysaccharide peptide is capable of enhancing the vitality of Th1 cells.

Clinical experiments have also shown that Ganoderic acids can inhibit the aggregation of allergy-related cells in the lung and respiratory tract. Analyses conducted on fatal cases of the latest influenza outbreak have revealed that the cause of death is traced to allergy-related cells.

It has also been found that the great majority of the victims were at the prime of their lives, meaning people who normally had a strong immune system. Because of the excessive strength
of the immunity, confusion tends to arise among the immune cells, including T cells, natural killer cells, and phagocytes, prompting them to attack even healthy cells, especially those in the lungs.

However, Yung Kien Ganoderma is capable of retaining the vitality and normal functions of natural killer cells and phagocytes even under the excitation of allergens. This is achieved through inhibiting the differentiation of Th2 cells, thus enabling normal identification functions to effectively subdue the activities of allergens.

Th2 cells are mostly directly linked to many autoimmune diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (more commonly known as eczema), lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, asthma, hyperthyroidism, muscular dystrophy, scleroderma (hardening of the skin), and pollen allergy. This happens due to the indiscriminate labelling by Th2 cells, which trigger
a series of very complicated immune reactions, prompting our immune system to start waging attacks against our skin and other organs.

The treatment of these diseases invariably involves prescriptions characterized by long courses of steroids, which will eventually inflict severe damage to the liver and kidneys, causing the symptom of oedema on the face. Lingzhi can contribute in no small ways to reduce these adverse effects as well as to protect the liver and kidneys.

As such, the consumption of Lingzhi not only helps beef up the inherent resistance of Th1 cells but also inhibit the activities of autoimmune Th2 cells, giving what we call dual regulatory functions.

4) Produce antibodies fast: Yung Kien Ganoderma is capable of inducing B cells to produce even more antibodies. While B cells are limited to a certain number, the number of antibodies can be multiplied in terms of millions.

Though Yung Kien Ganoderma is not a vaccine, it provides all-round immune function strategies, making it the most effective immune modulation health food and the weaponry with the highest potential in the human immune war.
