There is no such thing as an immune system

Hello Akenhaten, 1 Bacteria/virus don't purposefully "attack" cells. It is driven by the primal instinct of a. Finding food b. Survive c. Reproduce. 2. While its highly UNLIKELY that ALL diseases are spread by the "Leaky gut syndrome" (due to lack of evidence on your side and lack of evidence on my side to disprove your "leaky gut syndrome") It is POSSIBLE. However, It is still a hypothetical and unproven theory that lacks real research from universities and governments. (unless you are deluded enough to believe that research organizations and governments are purposefully hiding information about our health from the public.) Note- the link your provided is a "leaky gut syndrome" support group. It is most likely made up of people like you who believe that there is something called "Leaky Gut Syndrome" Their info is not backed by any research except for their own symptoms. There were no pesticides/soap/detergent in the past. Yet their lifespans were shorter than ours. According to the information you provided, as long as we don't consume these substances, we will never get sick/ill. People back then must have eaten a lot of "old fecal material" then BTW, iodine is a halogen. but I guess it doesn't really matter. 2. Yes, iodine is needed and is extremely helpful to the human body. However, iodine does not play a leading role in the immune system. The endocrine system is for maintaining hormones and facilitating the smooth process of the immune system. That's why iodine is only a SUPPLEMENT and not a direct replacement for the immune system. Polio zika and ebola are all caused by viruses. not iodine deficiency. 3. Sorry, I meant antibiotics have nothing to do with this debate. Yes sure, perhaps. I did read the article. But my comment is still the same. We are talking about the immune system, free of medication (except for vaccines since you brought it up). not antibiotics. If you are trying to prove iodine's effectiveness as an antimicrobial, there is not enough iodine in our bloodstream to effectively combat diseases. (at least in the long term) Iodine can be toxic and lethal. a 70-80 kg person could be killed by 2.5 grams of iodine. 4. If the immune system doesn't have a way of "storing" memory of past "attacks" (lets not be so literal OK?) Explain how most people don't get chickenpox after their first infection. Explain how during the black death, people who survived rarely got the plague again. alcohol consumption theory is more relatable to fitness. The more you exercise over a period of time, the fitter you get. Your liver learns to process the alcohol and makes adjustments to help take care of the next "wave" of alcohol. However, the immune system has a much more complicated process. It has various types of cells to help. It makes use of antigens and receptors to identify pathogens and release antibodies which are more effective. B cells binds onto a pathogen and makes use of "helper" T cells to activate itself, releasing antibodies which destroy the specific pathogen. At the same time, memory B cells are "putting down" virus information and are dividing to form more memory B cells... The immune system is a series of relays between cells that make use of receptors and memory cells to form an effective defense system against a reinfection. The vaccine is to "purposefully infect" with a weakened version of the pathogen and to hopefully activate the immune system's memory function. now that i have justified vaccines, I don't think I need to address "Paleo diet" In plus there has not been any research or experiment about the Paleo diet. But it should considerably reduce the risk of disease due to a healthy immune system from a healthy diet. 5. Okay. This is your own view. I don't need to talk about that Where is the evidence of fraud? 6. Yes. Completely agree. Iodine is very useful for the immune system. But as I said earlier, the endocrine system is for maintaining hormones. All of my explanation for my case should be included in my points above. Thanks. nightmareuser
