Treatment goals to immune dysfunction are also two-fold:


1. Restore the immune system through nutrition and stress reduction.


2. Develop immune system tolerance: getting the immune system to be toler- ant of the microbial populations so it is not constantly “attacking” the “good guys”.


This can be accomplished through


specifi c nutrient supplementation, stress modifi cation techniques and dietary changes that include reducing the con- sumption of sugars, fruit, processed foods, dried foods, starchy vegetables and alcohol while increasing the consumption of quality fats, vegetables, fi ber, moderate protein and water.


Dysbiosis or imbalanced life is some- thing that is commonly seen in practice. If you are experiencing some of the symptoms listed above, it is important to examine the relationship you have with your microbial “family” and fi nd out if there are bad guys that are contributing to your symptoms as well as if your defense system is accurate and effi cient in defending your body.
