Doctor warned about the danger of attempts to strengthen immunity

Artificial immune stimulation can cause serious harm to health, warns leading Russian immunologist Olga Shuppo, who heads the Grand Clinic immunorehabilitation network, in an exclusive interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the specialist, the human immune system is an incredibly complex protective mechanism that provides natural defense against various pathogens. T and B lymphocytes, which play a key role in immune defense, are able to recognize numerous antigens and form an appropriate immune response.

The expert particularly noted that the uncontrolled use of immunostimulants, vitamin complexes, and dietary supplements, instead of the expected strengthening of the body's defenses, can lead to a dangerous consequence – the development of autoimmune diseases.
