Avoidance of source of exposure demonstrates improvement. T helper cells-when touched by a macrophage with a captured antigen, the macrophage releases interleukin 1 which stimulates T helper cells, a T cell touched by a macrophage to produce interleukin 2. T suppressor cells turn off the immune response. They are activated presumably by chemical release form T helper cells or by the dying invader. At this time there is no treatment for chemical hypersensitivity, except avoidance and macronutrients to enhance body functions.
Detoxification is also helpful.
Continuing exposures to these toxic chemicals will make things worse. Prolonged exposure can result in production of more autoantibodies and the macrophage is either at maximum stimulation or it is producing an inhibitor of interleukin-1, such as prostaglandin. Avoidance of chemicals at work and at home is imperative. Satisfactory environments are clean, free of odours, vapours, fumes, chemicals. Patients with autoimmunity will have to be watched for years to determine any long range effects.
