Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases also referred to as collagen vascular diseases or autoimmunity are disorders

where the  body’s immune system reacts against some of its own cells and produces antibodies to attack
it. These disorders are classified into two types, organ-specific (directed mainly at one organ) and non-
organ-specific (widely spread throughout the body). Autoimmune diseases keep the healthy body from
releasing an immunological army that destroys all healthy cells it encounters. Our immune system can
detect viruses, parasitic worms and differentiate them from healthy cells and tissues, required for the
normal functioning of the body. Due to autoimmune disorders, the immune system mistakenly attacks
self, targeting the cells, tissues, and organs of a person's own body.

This disorder may result in destruction of one or more types of body tissue, abnormal growth of an
organ or change in organ function. Organs and tissues such as red blood cells, blood vessels, endocrine
glands, connective tissues, joints, skin and muscles are commonly targeted by autoimmune diseases.
There are over 100 different autoimmune diseases and these are mainly caused by the immune system
attacking different organs of our body. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Autoimmune Thyroiditis,
Autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, Type 1 diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple
Sclerosis, Addison’s disease, Pernicious anemia are some of the major types of autoimmune diseases.

Jobelyn Immune Support formula actively increases the rate at which foreign bodies are removed from the
system thereby enhancing the body’s natural resistance ability to defend itself against invading viruses,
bacteria and diseases including autoimmune diseases.

T cells

T-cells are coordinators of immune regulation and enhance the body’s immune responses through
secretion of specialized factors which activate white blood cells that fight off infection. These cells assist
in detecting immune deficiencies and destroy invaders that try to attack our body. T-cells are produced
in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus. When these cells get matured, they travel in the blood
to other lymphoid tissues, such as the spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes. They play a vital role in
protecting our body against diseases by eliminating cancerous cells and those infected with virus and
bacteria.

T-cells play a crucial in maintaining a healthy immune system as they help the immune cells to recognize
specific invaders (antigens) remember them and launch an attack against them if they are encountered
again. Suppressor T cells, natural killer cells, T helper cells, Cytotoxic T cells and memory T cells are
important T cell types and each of these types has important functions. Lower T-cell count results in
weak or defective immune system. This leads to increased susceptibility to infection, allergies,
autoimmune diseases and sometimes even cancer.

Jobelyn Immune Support formula enhances immune system cell activity strengthening the immune system
further helping T cells in detecting immune deficiencies and destroying invaders that try to attack our
body.
