Guangzhou daily, 2018-01-15

Recently, the controversy caused by the western medicine immunity regulator pidomoder has caused a wave of concern. What exactly is immunity? The old children and the weak cold repeatedly attack, is the immunity decrease? How does healthy body adjust disease ability by oneself? Is it necessary to take drugs to boost immunity? What method does not need to take medicine normally and can strengthen body to fight disease? The reporter visits the Chinese medicine expert, for the neighborhood to dispel doubts.

When children catch colds several times, many parents generally assume that they are "weakened by immunity". According to the experts, modern medicine believes that immunity is the ability of the body to resist the invasion of foreign factors and maintain the stability of the inner environment. For example, the human body can recognize and eliminate foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, and deal with aging, damage and death of its own cells, as well as identify and treat mutated cells and virus infected cells in vivo.

The word "immune" was first used in the Ming dynasty medical book "immune class", which refers to "immunity from plague", which is to prevent and cure infectious diseases. In the Ming dynasty, the invention of traditional Chinese medicine was used to prevent smallpox, which led to the development of the world immunology. It can be said that Chinese traditional Chinese medicine is the "forefather" of studying immunity. About resistance as early as in huangdi neijing, which records the vital qi, save the evil not dry, evil as they gather together, the gas will void ", that the human body health is the key to "the vital qi", namely its ability to resist.

The stronger the immunity, the better? Wrong!

Repeated colds do not reduce immunity.

Combine traditional Chinese and western medicine hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, southern medical university, director of pediatric Xu Zhengli professor says, the body's immunity, both born to bring "innate immunity", also have a life in the process of life "acquired immune" nature. It is worth noting that, when the immune system is low, the immune system cannot function properly, and people are susceptible to diseases such as infection or cancer. The supernormal immunity also causes allergic reaction, autoimmune disease and so on.

Children's immune system is not healthy, the immunity is low easy to appear repeatedly respiratory tract infection, diarrhoea and so on disease, immune excessive can appear allergic rhinitis, allergic eczema, irritability asthma and so on the symptom. Therefore, children's repeated exposure to a wide range of cold symptoms is not necessarily a weakened immune system, but an immune disorder.

Immune regulation has a "two-way"

Healthy people don't need to take medicine.

First affiliated hospital of jinan university professor sheng-yun sun director regions, medical immune regulator according to the function can be divided into strengthening agent, such as the BCG vaccine, the immune inhibitors such as prednisone, two-way immunoregulation ones such as thymopentin three; If according to the source, can be divided into human and animal immune system products, such as interferon, interleukin and so on; Chemical synthesis, such as isopropyl glycoside, vitamin D, etc. Biological agents such as BCG, mushroom polysaccharide, etc. Chinese medicine or plant origin, such as ginseng, ganoderma, wolfberry and so on.

The body's immune system is balanced and healthy, and it is not necessary to take drugs to blindly boost immunity. Otherwise, it is easy to disturb the balance, resulting in disorder and disease. The patients who need to use the immunomodulator are mainly tumor, organ transplant, rheumatoid arthritis and so on.

How do old children adjust immunity?

Xu Zhengli introduction, aging and immune function of modern scientific research found that lower levels were positively correlated, so older people can choose according to the circumstance of immune regulator control such as aging (isopropyl inosine). Children improve disease-resistant ability mainly from regulating lung spleen and kidney deficiency, the physiological characteristics of children's viscera and tender, and shape of inert gas, lively, development is rapid, so children insufficiency is relative, more perfect as they age, treatment from inspire children own disease-resistant ability, fill the combination, increases with the increasing dial should, are having a noticeable impact. In the beginning of the disease, the people are generally the absolute loss, the benefit is mainly, but still need to follow "is the disease is the medicine".

Sun shengyun further proposed that the elderly should protect their immunity, and be sure to stop smoking. Long-term smoking people is hard to withdrawal, feel to quit smoking will make mentally slow reaction, does the research thinks the stimulating effect of the nicotine may delay the onset of alzheimer's disease, but with a direct impact on the severe lung cancer occurrence ratio of life than is incomparable.

The elderly after retirement, if can't find a new focus, psychological gap is big, really easy to accelerate the body's aging, better to develop positive and healthy hobbies, enrich the spiritual life, so as to achieve the goal of physical disease resistance.
