The Immune System

The immune system performs multiple functions to protect the body from infection. These include:

• Detecting and neutralising harmful substances
• Fighting changes in the body that pose a risk of causing disease
• Defending you against potentially dangerous virus and bacteria
• Protects you from fungi and toxins

The Thymus

• The thymus, or thymus gland, is a small organ located in the upper chest, just behind the sternum. The thymus is an important organ for immunity; maturation and immunological “learning” of some cells of the immune system take place in it.
• The cells that mature in the thymus are called T-lymphocytes and are divided into several groups: T-killers (which destroy foreign viruses, bacteria and damaged cells of their own body),
• T-helpers, which enhance the immune response, and T -suppressors, which restrain immune activity, preventing the immune system from attacking its own body. 
• T-lymphocytes matured in the thymus consistently enter such lymphoid organs as the spleen, lymph nodes or tonsils, where they “wait for a meeting” with foreign agents.
• The full-fledged work of the thymus provides our body with protection, and various violations in its work leading to a weakening of the immune system. 

What else is the thymus responsible for?

It has been experimentally proven that the following processes depend on the thymus gland:

• Correction of immunodeficiency conditions associated with age or long-term illnesses;
• Maintaining the work of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus - the main regulators of the endocrine system;
• Normal functioning of the thyroid gland;
• increased resistance to stress;
• Reducing feelings of anxiety and improving behavioral responses.

Importance of Proteins:

One of the factors contributing to the damage of any cell, including those of the metabolism responsible for fighting viruses and other intruders in the body, is a decrease in the saturation of the cell with a protein that enters all cellular structures. With a protein deficiency, the cell loses its shape, its functions are impaired. This leads to further pathological changes in the entire system.

Proteins are macronutrients that every cell and tissues are made from. Proteins are made from amino acids. Amino acids are connected together with peptide links —СО—NH—

Proteins are also required for hepatocytes to recover and to protect them from damage. Proteins control the processes of intercellular interaction and determine the ability of the cells to heal and regenerate. All tissues contain certain types of proteins. This was established thanks to the discovery made in 1999 by Günter Blobel, who received the Nobel Prize for his scientific work. The scientist found that the protein molecule is self-regulating.

Results:

Clinical trials of Bioono EPI-I Immuno Peptide were carried out in 124 patients exposed to long-term exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation (including cancer patients after radiation and chemotherapy), and trauma patients with postoperative purulent-septic complications. That is, in patients with proven weakening of the immune system. 

During the tests of Bioono EPI-I Immuno Peptide, it was found that its course intake contributes to a noticeable improvement in the general condition and, above all, to a decrease in the severity of asthenic syndrome, characteristic of secondary immunodeficiency. In patients with purulent complications after surgical interventions, a significant increase in enzyme activity was found, which indicates the activation of tissue metabolism processes.

In patients with the consequences of radiation and chemotherapy while taking Bioono EPI-I Immuno Peptide, there was an accelerated normalization of immunological parameters of peripheral blood, an improvement in general well-being and a decrease in the incidence of infectious complications.
