Tasks of the immune system
Inflammation - Specific
• Inflammation is an appropriate response when there is a real threat and it occurs delimited
Inflammation - Nonspecific
Inflammation does more harm than good when it is non-specific and persistent
This is seen when you have allergies
The specific reactions of the immune system are governed by:
TH1, TH2, TH3 and Mastcells that release and control histamine. These cells control how the immune system responds to stimuli and "provocations"
Histamine triggers "fires" on surfaces - that is, mucous membranes in the mouth, eyes, nose, intestines, skin. The cardiovascular system, brain and stress responce will be affected.
The ability to control TH1,2,3 and Mastcells is affected by the diets we eat
Diet affects the intestinal flora, your microbiom, that affect the immune system (Activate the TH1,2,3 and mast cells)
The diet may include allergens and intolerance
Diet affects energy production which maintain for a strong immune system
And dietary antioxidants, must deal with damage from the inflammation or allergy
What influences when the diet pulls in the wrong direction in relation to allergies.

A disturbed intestinal flora has for most people occur already in childhood, if you were born by caesarean section, have received penicillin, have been stressed, do not get your 600 grams of vegetables - then you can definitely count on, your intestinal flora/ your microbiom being disturbed.
