The immune system within the body is amazing. It protects us from the thousands of bacteria we come in contact with every hour. Unfortunately it doesn't always have the means to protect us.


Many people have an allergy to various plants, insect bites, animals, pests, and so forth.


Bacteria and viruses develop and reproduce rapidly, changing and evolving to become more deadly in the process whilst foiling our immune system.


Meanwhile both natural and man-made poisons can harm the body easily.


Also a threat are the ever more common food allergies. A single bite of food that you're allergic to can be all it takes to send you to the hospital.

Steps

  1. Develop Immunity Step 1.jpg
    1
    Identify allergies. If you know what you are allergic to and how badly your body will react to allergies, you can avoid the dangers / discomforts.

    Plan. It is possible to develop a treatment plan to expose oneself to small but gradually increasing amounts of any foods or toxins that they may be allergic to.

    Exposure type 1. Expose oneself to very small amounts of the allergen / toxin, gradually increasing the dose. Exposing oneself to a substance that harms the body in any way is always dangerous, but over time the body can and often will develop defenses against poisons and allergens. This can be done to build immunity to plants, animals, poisons.

    Exposure type 2. In the case of virus such as the common cold, immunity is gained through infection. After having been exposed/infected with a strain of virus, (through either being sick with the original or a vaccination), the body will develop enzymes which white blood cells will use to destroy any future infections of the same virus strain. (Strain refers to the DNA strain of that virus which make each generation gradually better at infecting other people and causing sickness.)

    Continue exposure type 1. Continuing to expose oneself to things that one is allergic to and toxins in small but increasing doses can allow the body to build up a proper defense. Examples include exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Over time individuals with light skin will tan when exposed to sunlight. Alcoholic substances are also toxic, and often require gradual consumption to build up a tolerance.

    Don't prolong exposure type 2. Try to avoid exposure to bacteria that can make you sick. If you are sick too often, your immunity will weaken and you can die. Medicine may help fight off infections and colds, however medicines are foreign to the body and in large doses will act as poisons, possibly killing you.

Tips

  • You can generally develop an immunity to any food allergy over time.
  • Vaccinations are the best way to develop an immunity to bacteria and viruses.
  • Toxins that you can built an immunity to: Snake venoms, bee and wasp poisons, poisonous plants and animals such as scorpions, alcohol, medical drugs, sugar, caffeine.

Warnings

  • Always consult a doctor before beginning a treatment to strengthen your immunity's.
  • Remember, there are medical professionals who specialize in treatments to build up immunity to plants, animals, and foods.
  • Do not attempt to expose yourself to medical or recreational drugs to try and built an immunity towards them. They are foreign to the body and can become addicting and even kill you in large doses.
  • Believe it or not, Sucrose (the sugar often called High Fructose Corn Syrup) is a poison. The body treats it very similarly to Alcohol except that it is not introduced to the brain. Even though it does not have immediate effects, over time it can build up, causing "fatty-liver." Excess consumption of sugar can lead to extreme obesity, many health problems and eventually death. The body does not have a defense against either alcohol or sugar other than expelling it from the body.
  • Do not attempt to expose yourself to dangerous organisms that have venom or poison natural defenses, as they can kill you.
  • If you insist on exposing yourself to an allergy for the purpose of strengthening your immunity to it, please consult a doctor beforehand and have some one present to call an ambulance should anything go wrong.
