It covers allergy (and hypersensitivity), auto-immunity and impaired immunity. It also covers the impact of toxic elements such as mercury and nickel on the immune system. There are 9 sections covered in this lecture which help to explain the biochemical/nutritional aspects of immunity. Each section sits in an isolated niche in the scientific literature, rarely visited by Medical Practitioners. However, when united, they provide a framework that allows clinicians to better understand individual problems such as allergy, hypersensitivity and impaired immunity.
