Restoring Thymus Function for Enhanced Immune Response
The key to a healthy, functioning
immune system rests with the
thymus gland, a small organ
lying just beneath the breastbone. The
primary role of the thymus is to assist
in the proliferation and differentiation
of mature T-lymphocytes - cells that
attack and kill viruses and bacteria.
T-cells emerge from the bone marrow
in an incomplete state. In order to
function properly, immature T-cells
migrate to the thymus gland where they
are programmed into mature T-cells
that orchestrate the immune response to
attack and destroy invading viruses and
cancer cells.
In our early twenties we have an
abundance of well-trained, functioning
T-cells that regulate
the immune
system and help
the body fight off
pathogens and
disease. After
about age 20, the
thymus begins to
shrink (atrophy)
as dying thymic
cells are progressively
replaced
by fat and connective
tissue.
By about age 40, output of thymic
hormones has dropped significantly
and T-cells have begun to lose their
effectiveness. It is this gradual loss of
functioning T-cells that is believed to
be responsible for many of the agerelated
changes in the immune system
that gradually rob the body of its ability
to fight off infectious diseases,
autoimmune disorders and cancer.
Antiaging Effects of Vital Cell
in Rabbits
To evaluate the effects of Vital Cell on
organ health, researchers conducted a
two-year trial with two identical groups
of rabbits. One group was treated with
Vital Cell daily, and the second,
untreated group served as a control. At
the end of the study, the researchers
compared the organs of both test
groups of elderly rabbits to those of
young, healthy juvenile rabbits.
When examining the treated rabbits
the researchers noted that thymus
glands of the old animals receiving
Vital Cell retained the structure and
functionality of glands normally seen
only in young, health rabbits.
Conversely,
the thymus
glands of the
old, untreated
control rabbits
were severely
a t r o p h i e d ,
weighing less
than a third of
their normal
weight, and
consisting primarily
of inactive
fat and
connective tissues. Similar results were
observed when the researchers compared
tissues samples gathered from
the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen
and other organs. In each case, the
organs of Vital Cell-treated animals
displayed the form and function of tissues
normally only seen in younger
subjects.
