Name things that attack our immune system?

Answer 1

bacterias, viruses, tumors etc

Answer 2

well the guy dr micheal something at the cleveland clinic said that you need plenty of vita b12 or b6 forgot which because it repairs dna damage and when dna replicates itself it needs what is in this vitamin to replicate properly.

dna damage is one part of the puzzle then if this damaged cell is not detected by the immune system because the immune system is sick boom you can get cancer, the risk really skyrockets. we all have cancer cells in our body, that is a given, what happens is the cell with dna damage gets detected adn the body destroyes it before it does damage.

but if your immune system is bombarded by so many stressors it can't cope (work stress that is unrelenting, poor diet, smoking which is a biggy stressor, harsh chemicals in a job site your exposed for weeks on end, radiation damage,, some of those damage cells may go unchallenged.

it would take alot of stress the right kind and genetic dispositon for these to all work together for cancer to develope and not all cancers are as deadly as others.

sometimes when your immune system recovers the cancer cells were in the process of dividing and the body got it in time and you don't even know it.

so our immune systems work 24/7 to keep all diseases at bay that it can. you also have virus bacteria etc your system your immune system keeps them in check, including candida which is a natural life in your digestive track including bacteria virus etc. Keep it healthy by exercising without overdoing it, eating lots of natural foods you can and wash those hands when in the bathroom and when in contact with alot of people. Wash those fruits and vegies too.

Answer 5

Maybe you need to clarrify your question?

I am guessing that as it is in the cancer section you are asking in respect to cancer.

Are you asking
"What weakens our system to stop it fighting cancer?"
"How does cancer affect our immune system?"
"Which cancers affect our immune system?"
"What things are we more susceptible to when our immune system is weakened by cancer or chemotherapy?"
