This article suggests that the adaptive immune system is the most important part of the immune system. The complement system is always present. It automatically attaches to the surface of many common bacteria and marks them for destruction. Most important is the cell based innate immune system. It has to detect the infectious invader, sent dendritic cells to the lymph nodes showing the invader's antigens on its MHCII complex to meet with the rare B-cell that will match the displayed antigens. Once a match occurs, the B-cells multiply and begin to produce antibodies. All that takes days to occur. In the meanwhile, the innate system will be battling the invader, detecting infected cells and destroying them.

I boosted my innate system against covid with zinc and quercetin (and vitamin D!) for nine months before infection by COVID-19. Quercetin is an ionophore for zinc, transports zinc through the cell wall just like HCQ. In the cells, zinc inhibits viral reproduction. When I was infected, the viral reproduction was so slowed that my innate immune system was triggered, used fever to help fight the infection, and killed it before I knew I was sick. I awoke from an incredible fever sweat after the battle was won.

I was tested for covid antibodies. I don't have any. I do have a well-trained innate immune system that got further training when it destroyed an Omicron infection last September. I had minor little pain explosions throughout my body that kept me awake for an hour while that battle destroyed omicron. Very distinctly a viral infection.

So the adaptive system (antibodies) is only created by a healthy innate system when it needs more help for an infection that lasts for days. A well-trained innate system will destroy the invader before the B-cells make a match in the lymph nodes to start creation of antibodies.

thanks for your additional comments, but this article does NOT imply that the adaptive immune system is most import. I'll be writing about the innate immune system, as stated.

This information about antibodies needs to be more widely known. Vaccine effectiveness is basically judged on how many antibodies are created against the antigen. However, antibodies do not prove anyone is protected. It is all based on a false premise that antibodies confer immunity. This is a myth. Please see my article Vaccines and the Antibody Myth

It's usually IgE antibodies for food issues and that makes elimination much easier.

Anyone testing + for IgE, automatically needs to eliminate gluten and dairy(animal) immediately to calm inflammation.

Then the target can get more specific.

These changes in diet are permanent and that's the part most physicians tend to not tell their clients.

IgD is still a unknown marker.

Vibrant labs is the best place to order comprehensive testing after the Ig panel is known.(IMO)

The excipients also contain many Manufactured free Glutamate (MfG's) such as Monosodium Glutamate and Citric Acid, which are Neurotoxins.

Also, I appreciate the connection to PubMed.

Can we develop IgG for activated HERV’s? For example Rett syndrome?

So so glad you explained igG. I love when you give us lessons on basic biology. Please do it more❣️

Excellent and in our n=2 experience - this has confused things greatly.

I would like to know more about IgE and ramifications of being is high 1000’s consistently.

Also could not open the link - “especially IgG antibodies, which can represent so many things. Look at this list.” safari says server not found :(

Much gratitude for the information. Since childhood I had EBV and my numbers were extremely high so I did several sessions with Ozone with UV Therapy and now EBV is no longer detected in my blood but I lost the ability to stand. I’m already dealing with an autoimmune. Listening to this message, now I’m drawn to adding B-cell Therapy.

Amazing at what fasting can do.

Thank you for this article, very informative. But what does it mean when your Igg1 and Igg2 are low?

Thank you for your wisdom, clarity and sound thinking!

Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Tenpenny! Great article. I always was told igg, is immunity. It’s an inflammatory marker…interesting. I appreciate you, as always, I appreciate your mind! Love always, Lee

The source for the mycotoxins must be identified or else exposure may be risked continually.

Also, lots of mold diagnosis can actually be Lyme and vice versa as they are very similar in presentation.

Can you explain the mold/lyme connection or provide any links?
