From Kerzgesagt Immune Chapter 42: "At least for now, there are no scientifically proven ways to directly boost your immune system with any products that are easily available. And if there were, it would be very dangerous to use them without medical supervision." ... "Talking about boosting the immune system and the unscientific claims made by many people working in the multibillion-dollar industry of selling supplements would be mildly funny, as the majority of people at worst are wasting money... And these people, who often are desperate to alleviate their symptoms or are just frankly trying to survive, are the ones who might fall victim to the empty promises of the supplement industry. Even worse, some might even go as far as to disregard real medical treatment as a consequence of these lies supported by greed or well-meaning but ill-advised appeals to naturalism. These broken ideas about health and boosting the immune system can be perpetuated only by our collective misunderstanding of the mechanisms of our own immune system and what it actually is." ... "Your immune system is much more dangerous to your survival than any pathogen ever could be. Think of Ebola, even this pretty disgusting and horrible disease needs about six days to kill you. Your immune system has the power to kill you in about fifteen minutes." https://www.philippdettmer.net/immune https://www.philippdettmer.net/immune
