So if you are old you are stuck between wanting to down regulate the immune system (because of pervasive inflammation) and upregulating it (because you're trying to avoid pneumonia).
The people in the house with autoimmune disorders got over the flu fast, I'm getting over it slow, so I got the opposite of autoimmune problems.
Self-replies
Dr Gregor list of this that have some hint of upregulating the immune system with some stars for a pattern I see...
- kale
- yogurt
- elderberry
- cranberry
- mushrooms `*`
- nutritional yeast `*`- 2 tsp+ (positive data for runners, otherwise not)
- blueberry
- cardamom
- green tea
- wakame seaweed `*`
The stars on on the 3 edible things that are way out there on the tree of live. Those are the weirdest biochemicals in our food inventory, so I can image how that would rile up the immune system as a call to fight.
