IMMUNOTHERAPY HELPS IN CANCER TREATMENT
DR KRISHNA REVIEWS
What is Immunotherapy ?
Dr. Hari Krishna says that Immunotherapy is treatment that stimulates one's own
immune system to fight cancer. The immune system is your own natural defense system
against disease. Biologic response modifiers and biologic therapy are other terms used to
describe immunotherapy.
Dr. Krishna says regarding immunotherapy as the "fourth modality" or forth way of
treating cancer. The other three are surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
Immunotherapy is sometimes used by itself, but is most often used as an adjuvant therapy
(along with or after another therapy) to add to the anticancer effects of the main therapy.
HOW THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WORKS
The body's immune system is a collection of organs, specialized cells, and substances that
helps protects the body from disease. The specialized cells and substances circulate
throughout the body to protect the body from microorganisms (germs) that cause
infections and from cancer.
To understand how the immune system works, think of the body as a country, and the
immune system as the country's defense forces. Think of viruses, bacteria, and cancer cell
as hostile, foreign army, because they are not an original part of the body, and they want
to use the body's resources to serve their own purposes, and harm to the body in the
process.
Microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites contain some substances also
present in the human body's own tissues. These germs contain foreign substances that are
not normally present in the body. these substances cause the immune system to react to
the germs, "recognizing" them as foreign. Anything that causes the immune system to
react is called an antigen , from the Greek words anti , meaning against , and gen ,
meaning to produce. Antigens produce a reaction that can lead the immune system to
destroy both the antigen and anything the antigen is attached to or part of, such as a
bacterial cell or cancer cell.
Cancer cells have unusual substances on their outer surfaces that can act as antigens,
marking the cells as different or abnormal. That difference acts as a red flag to the
immune system cells that recognize and attack foreign substances found in the body. But,
in general, the immune system is much better at recognizing germs than cancer cells.
Germs are truly "foreign" to the body, and their cells differ from normal human cells. In
contrast, the differences between normal cells and cancer cells are subtler. Continuing the
military analogy, they are less like soldiers of an invading army and more like traitors
within the rank of the human cell population.
The immune system 's response to antigens is a precisely coordinated process that uses
the many types of cells that make up the immune system. Most cells of the immune
system are referred to as lymphocytes. Several types of lymphocytes work together to
attack cancer cells. These include B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Antigen-
presenting cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells are not lymphocytes, but work
closely with lymphocytes to fight cancer.
B cell and plasma cells:
B cells are formed and develop in the bone marrow, which is the soft ,spongy inner part of
some bones. B cells accumulate in lymph nodes and some internal organs such as the
spleen. Lymph nodes are bean sized collections of immune system cells that are found
through out the body and are interconnected by small vein-like channels called Lymphatic
vessels. B cells cannot directly destroy germs or cancer cells by themselves ,but they play
an important role in immune defenses by producing antibodies. When a B cell is getting
ready to produce lots of antibody, it turns into another cell type called a plasma cell.
Antibodies are large proteins that circulate throughout the body in the blood and
lymphatic vessels. one way the immune system reacts to the foreign antigen (substance
that does not belong in the body ) is by producing antibodies. The antibodies produced by
this immune response will recognize and bind (attach) to the antigen, but not to other
substances that are part of normal human cells and tissues. The binding of the antibody to
an antigen does not directly destroy the cancer cell. But, antibody binding may mark the
site of an undesirable cell or germ and set off a chain of events that can lead to its
destruction. This destruction may involve other immune system cells such as
macrophages that are attracted by the bound antibody. Or, an antibody stuck to the
antigen may attract certain blood proteins known as complement proteins that set off a
chain of reactions that destroys the cancer cell by punching holes in its outer membrane.
T cells:
Some lymphocytes that are formed in the bone marrow enter the bloodstream before
they are fully mature. From the bloodstream, they will enter the thymus (a small gland in
the chest in front of the heart and behind the breast bone) where they mature and gain
new disease-fighting properties. Once they leave the thymus gland, they are known as T-
cells (named from the T in thymus). T cells accumulate in the lymph nodes and spleen ,
where they work together with other immune system cells. Special molecules similar to
antibodies are present on the surface of T cells, which allow them to recognize and react
to parasites, cancer cells, and cells infected by viruses.
There are two main kind of T cells and they perform different tasks. One is the cytotoxic T
lymphocyte. Cytotoxic means poisonous to a cell. These are also known as killer T cells.
When a killer T cell comes in contact with the cancer cell it recognizes, it gives off
substances that destroy the cancer cells. The other type of T cell is the helper T cell. These
cells do not directly kill cancer cell or germs, but help B cells and cytotoxic T cells to work
more effectively.
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs):
There are several types of APCs, such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
These cells are important because they help lymphocytes recognize antigens on cancer cells.
Natural killer (NK) cells:
Lymphocytes called natural killer (NK) cells attach themselves to cancer cells through
molecules on their outer surfaces sticking to the antigen on the cancer cells. Once they are
in contact with the cancer cells, the NK cells may then separate from the cancer cell and
go on to attack and kill other cancer cells.
Macrophages:
Macrophages ( from the Greek makros , meaning large, and phagein , meaning to eat) are
attracted by the binding of antibody to antigen. Macrophages start out as monocytes that
are produced by the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream. Some monocytes
leave the bloodstream and enter tissues and organs to become macrophages capable of
surrounding and "eating" cells. Both monocytes and macrophages can act as APCs to help
start an immune response.
dendritic cells:
Dendritic cells are a type of antigen-presenting cell found in lymph nodes, the skin, and
some internal organs.

ReplyDeleteIt is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,Dairies,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
