What is wrong with white blood cells [0] and T cells [1] and the already existing immune system?

It isn't flashy. It doesn't make headlines. Doctors and scientists can't get rich off it.

It's also incredibly hard to explain the point of view you have.

I'm actually very sympathetic to your position, having pursued diet and lifestyle changes to manage a dread disease. But I will say that your comments here read as rather snarky, not good faith efforts to explain.

Edit: Having read through more of the article, it is (at least in part) research into helping patients with cystic fibrosis, who actually have a seriously impaired immune system.

It's actually what I have. And I'm quite sure you are wholly unqualified to tell people with CF what they need to eat to restore the functioning of their immune system in spite of a defective cell channel permanently impairing their functioning at the cellular level in all systems, but especially so in epithelial tissues, which includes both the lungs and gut.




What do I know? I am a random person voicing my opinion on the internet. Read my other comments, I will freely admit when I am wrong.

If they make something that helps you, I think that would be great.

Note: I accidentally posted this comment further down. More proof of fallibility.
