A member asked:
Does cortisol turn on the type two immune response, or just turn off both types 1 and 2? i watched a really interesting video that made me think of it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: All it does is counteracting the inflammation resulted from the immune responses. It takes super doses of cortisone for a long time to suppress the immune system.
