Once your immune system fights off a pathogenic attack, it forms immune memory. If the attackers return, your cells will be ready to eliminate the challenge faster than before. When we’re vaccinated for diseases like measles, polio, and COVID, we’re preparing our immune systems for future battles. In this sense, vaccinations are a form of immunotherapy.
Cancer effectively “turns off” a person’s immune system. To make matters worse, common cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are also harmful to healthy cells in the body. Fortunately, some immunotherapies remove killer immune cells (lymphocytes) and re-train them to attack the cancer itself. As a result, the FDA has approved various cell-based immunotherapies in the fight against cancer, and there is new research and hundreds of clinical trials using new approaches for immunotherapy against many types of cancer including: breast, prostate, lung, pancreatic, and colon cancer, as well as hematological malignancies like lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma.
The older we get, the more susceptible to illnesses we become. And with the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in 2019, this sad truth has never been more evident. But why? As we get older, our immune system ages with us. Viruses and bacteria, however, do not age. They evolve. While we get weaker, they get stronger. But with healthy immune cells for use in immunotherapy, we can keep our cells young, agile, and powerful to fight off disease in the future.
What if you could find out you were sick before you were actually diagnosed? With a team of biomedical experts at your disposal, you have the opportunity to receive an ongoing analysis of your health system. That means you can identify, track, and treat cancer or other illnesses before overt symptoms arise.
We must move alongside modern medical science. We must be ready to implement cell-based therapies in the fight against cancer and other diseases. We must preserve our immune system today so that we can lead healthier lives tomorrow.
Immunaeon gives you the best chance to fight diseases of all types—not just with current immunotherapies—but with future therapies as well.
