A member asked:
Why is it that when i catch an infectious disease my symptoms are dramatically worse than others around me who have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune system: Dramatic differences between persons as relates to intensity of infection symptoms can be explained by immune system strength or weakness. The immune system requires proper nutritional support & especially adequate protein. Doctors who are knowledgeable about the immune system can advise people how to maximize their immune system potential. For example, adequate vitamin c is essential.
