When you think about your immune system, you probably think about fighting off bacteria and viruses. But that’s only part of the story.
Your immune system is constantly making decisions about what belongs in your body, and what doesn’t.
Some parasites have developed ways to evade or modify the immune response, allowing them to persist for longer periods. When that happens, the immune system may remain active, contributing to ongoing inflammation and other symptoms in some individuals.
That doesn’t mean parasites are the cause of every immune-related symptom, far from it.
Nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health, hormones, environmental exposures, and chronic infections all influence how your immune system functions.
That’s why at RHMC, we don’t just ask, “How do we calm the immune system?”
We ask, “What is the immune system responding to?”
Understanding that answer helps us create a more personalized approach to care.
