Have you ever heard of autoimmune diseases? Or allergies? These occur when your immune system is “boosted” or in overdrive. Not a good thing, folks. I’m always surprised by how often people get impressed by this claim. Your goal should be to have a normal immune system with normal immune surveillance—not too high or too low (suppressed).
The best supplements for immune health—vitamin C, zinc, and yeast-based supplements—improve immune function and surveillance; they don’t turbocharge the immune system. I find it interesting that our newest cancer drugs, which are designed to help boost the immune system, have some autoimmune side effects where the immune system actually attacks various organs!
