The immune system is a highly integrated, diverse task force the body recruited with the sole mission of protection against invading forces of infection, pathogens and mutant cells. The immune system is always surveilling for the enemy through its ranks of innate immune cells which lack memory and specificity including, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes. These cells patrol and destroy anything suspicious whether they have seen it before or not and have the ability to alert higher…

Definitely, there are no parents who want their children to be poisoned by a single vaccine or to be…

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that attacks the body’s immune system through CD4 cells and evolves into Acquired immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, which is the virus that causes HIV infection. HIV attacks and destroys the infection-fighting CD4 cells of the immune system. The loss of CD4 cells makes it difficult for the body to fight infections and certain cancers. Without treatment, HIV can gradually destroy the immune system and advance to AIDS.AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. AIDS stands for “Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome”. HIV is spread through…

Psoriasis is a skin condition in which the life cycle of skin cells causing extra skin to be produced causing the skin to become very thick, itchy and even produce red patches on the skin.
