Do you or your children…
- Keep on getting sick every now and then and often have to use antibiotics to help the sickness?
- Have to deal with sinusitis or ear infections almost every quarter of the year?
- Often get diarrhea after eating outside?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes it is quite possible that you or your child has been suffering from immunodeficiency disorder.
What is immunodeficiency disorder?
Our body and all the systems have been designed in such a way that they have the ability to fight off infections on their own. This ability is called our immune system. Our immune system is a smart cookie and a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection. It can remember every germ it has ever battled with so that it can destroy it as soon as it gets the signal of invasion by that germ.
But when our immune system is not strong enough to defend the body as your body doesn’t have the ability to produce antibodies against that germ and you keep on getting sick. This condition is known as immunodeficiency disorder.
Causes of immunodeficiency disorders
You can inherit immunodeficiency disorder as it can be passed down from one or both parents. It usually happens when there is a faulty genetic code that acts as a blueprint for producing the cells of the body (DNA).
There are more than 300 types of primary immunodeficiency disorders and can be broadly classified into six groups based on the part of the immune system that’s affected:
- B cell (antibody) deficiencies
- T cell deficiencies
- Combination B and T cell deficiencies
- Defective phagocytes
- Complement deficiencies
- Unknown (idiopathic)
What are the complications of immunodeficiency disorders?
- Recurrent infections
- Autoimmune disorders
- Damage to the heart, lungs, nervous system or digestive tract
- Slowed growth
- Increased risk of cancer
What can be done?
Homeopathy is one of the ideal treatments to boost the immune system. Homeopathic healing is based on miasmatic and individualized healing. Miasms are inherited predispositions to disease or states that are present in our body in the latent form and can become active at different points in our lives. The main focus during a homeopathic consultation is usually on what caused the disease condition? What were the physical and emotional health levels at the beginning of this condition and how the patient got affected by the circumstances? Deep digging of all the root causes helps to come up with a remedy or remedies that can not just eliminate the current disease symptoms but also does the complete restoration of the health. Ultimately homeopathy strengthens your immune system over time, limiting the chance of reoccurring health problems.
