 Part 5 of the Series Aging and the "Pauses of
Life"Immunopause - When you can't fight
infections
Do you remember childhood as one long string of
good health, yet your adult life is one sinus
infection after another? With every hormone loss
or brain chemical imbalance, our immune code is
broken. As early as the beginning of puberty, our
immune response slowly begins to decline, which
in turn causes us to get sick easier.

Our immune system provides a layer of protection
that keeps viruses and infections from harming
the brain and the body. When you
enter Immunopause,   your immune system cannot
protect you from the constant attack of viruses
and infections that surround you. As adults, we
experience the switching off of the immune system
as increased inflammation, which plays a role in
every medical condition from heart disease to
ermatitis. Serotonin regulates the immune system,
and serotonin agents can boost immunity. As
inflammation increases, serotonin levels
decrease, creating both low- and high-grade
fevers as well as sleep abnormalities.
Inflammation acts as the immunopause death code,
allowing viruses, fungus, and bacteria into every
organ of the body.

Meanwhile, aging can be summarized as oxidation -
you are literally burning up, including
your dopamine. You need this vital biochemical to
suppress illness. For example, that's why
adrenaline (dopamine family of brain chemicals)
is used as an antidote to an allergic reation,
such as to a bee sting.   Infections are Alien
InvadersInfections can grow and develop inside
the body when the immune system is asleep at the
wheel. Tiny microorganisms are let in through the
various orifices and work their way into your
cells, wreaking havoc along the way. Infections
can contribute to further inflammation, and more
dangerously, like in the case of AIDS, can
destroy your immune system. Infections that
occur in the body can affect our brain. For
example, the common flu contributes to
Parkinson's disease. When your immune system is
compromised, your dopamine level is diminished.
That is why Parkinson's drugs, which build
dopamine, can help to alleviate flu symptoms.

• Infections can occur anywhere in the brain and
  the body, sending their own aging code and
  jump-starting the pauses such as
• Heart infections
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Infections of the brain, spinal cord, nerves,
  bones, and muscles
• Bacterial skin infections
• Fungal skin infections
• Viral skin infections
• Take Action Strengthen Your Immune System and
  Get Younger
• It's relatively easy to boost your immunity. A
  multi-modal approach including medications,
  hormones, supplements and specific dietary
  suggestions will help you break immunopause. I've
  included a list of nutrients that will help break
  the immunopause code. Consider these natural
  treatments, and consider making an appointment to
  have a full body check-up. Early detection is
  your best bet in fully recovering from immune
  diseases - including cancer. PLEASE CONSULT with
  your doctor before beginning any new protocol. We
  at Path Medical can help.
