Understanding The Immune System
We have heard a lot of stuff about the autoimmune system in our body. These things said about the autoimmune system are mostly a bit ‘heroic’ in nature. A lot of times we hear and read about how our autoimmune system helps fight those disease-causing organisms away from our body. If this is one of the functions of our autoimmune system then we can really say that they are one of the important stuff in our body.
But what is our autoimmune system? It is said that our immune system is made up of cells, organs, molecules, and tissues that defend our body from the many diseases by releasing antibodies to fights them. These ‘little soldiers’ of the body are designed to engulf bacteria, kill and destroy those parasites and tumor cells.
Diseases Auto Immune Attack
In spite of the pure intentions of the immune system, which is to fight off those bad organisms that can cause diseases, there are times when the immune system is unable to determine the good ones from the bad. There are situations wherein the immune system attacks good foreign elements. When this happens, it is considered that the person is having an diseases auto immune in nature.
Diseases auto immune happen when our immune system attacks itself thus causing complications or inviting other diseases to occur. Having diseases auto immune is like having a mutiny inside our body where we can no longer trust our immune system to protect us from any disease attacks.
