Liking this BBC article a lot. Living with an auto immune disease my immune system is trying to kill me. It is dangerously over active. But I still get people suggesting things to “boost” it. Which is a load of nonsense generally, but in the rare cases it can make a difference can be downright dangerous for people like me. I’d love to have a nicely balanced immune system. As it is I’m kept alive by drugs that suppress the bad bits but also the rest. That’s why I’m at increased risk of infections, including very dangerous ones like Covid. But the last thing I want to do is boost me back up. My life saving drugs are doing what they need to do to keep me alive. I let them get on with it, and stay as safe as I can.
