Already in 1683 self-taught botanist James Sutherland (c.1639-1719) was cultivating this plant in his Physic Garden on the grounds of Trinity Hospital in Edinburgh. He records it in the census of plants of this, the first Botanical Garden in Scotland, as Colutea flore rubello and in English as 'Red flowered Bastard-Senna from the Cape of good Hope'. Later it was given his name in Latin: Sutherlandia, and later again it goes scientifically by Lessertia frutescens. Lessertia is for Jules Paul Benjamin de Lessert (1773-1847). Usually today it's called Sutherlandia or Balloon Pea or Cancerbush. It's reputed to be an immune booster.
Apparently it's also some sort of psychic medicine: Zulus call it umwele, meaning something like an antidote to 'pulling one's hair out in distress'. In Afrikaans Sutherlandia goes by a pet-name eentjies (ducks) or gansies (geese) because of the seed pods or bladders (see photo) that float in water.
I got so much trouble getting out of the house at the moment. There are so many pollen in the air... even though it isn't really what most people are looking for I can't wait for it to rain.

Radishes offer a variety of health benefits, including supporting the immune system, aiding in digestion, and potentially reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. They are a good source of Vitamin C, fiber, and various other nutrients, while being low in calories {Sharing The Knowledge 8.14.25}
Das Immunsystem ist das körpereigene, individuelle Abwehrsystem gegen schädlichen Krankheitserregner - zum Beispiel Bakterien, Parasiten, Pilze, Protozoen (Einzeller) und Viren.
The immune system is the body's own, individual defense system against harmful pathogens - for example, bacteria, parasites, fungi, protozoa (unicellular organisms) and viruses.
After a little while.
I rest my hand on top to prevent the apparatus launching off the bench, and to check the temperature. I stop when it begins to get warm. Top up with water, shake, and serve or refrigerate.

Nowadays we have weak immune system in the body. It is very difficult to fight that virus called "technology addiction".
With this virus, we should blame oursleves or those technology giant companies?
Have a great evening!

Beneficial bacteria on mice skin work with the animals’ immune systems to defend against disease-causing microbes and accelerate wound healing, according to new research from NIH scientists, published in January 2018. These insights may inform wound management techniques.

Christopher Cox, MD gets help from Kyle Washburn, RN, during training in a bio-containment lab at Duke's Global Health Research Building on Wednesday, October 15, 2014. They and eight other nurses and doctors took part in a first-stage training of donning and doffing of personal protective equipment or PPE in preparation for the possibility of caring for Ebola patients. The PPE consists of full skin coverage with a full-body tyvek-like coverall, double gloving with the inner glove taped to the coverall, a sleeve cover and a hooded powered air purifying-respirator.

AnnaLou’s Story—Written by Her Mother, Elena
“SCID has changed the way my family views life.”
AnnaLou was diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) through a newborn screening pilot program in California in 2010. Had it not been for that pilot screening, I would have never known until she had gotten sick how fatal this disease is. SCID became my life the second I found out. Her pediatrician told me she'd undergo a bone morrow transplant and have to receive treatments to maintain her health. At 2 months, she received bone marrow from me. I spent most of my time with her in the hospital, away from home during the holidays. Once she got sent home, she was in isolation.
I learned a lot while being in the hospital including flushing her line, giving her proper baths, and making a chart for all her medicines at exact times. Later I learned how to give her the shots and that was not hard to do after a while. Every 3 weeks we would go to get her treatment, and it wasn't easy. Between money for gas and food and my not having a job, it was a strain on my family, but like all the great things I've been blessed with, one of them is my family. Finally, after 2 surgeries, a bone morrow transplant, 2 blood transfusions, 8 weeks in a hospital, 6 months of treatment and being on isolation at home, I got the phone call we'd been waiting for. AnnaLou's SCID was cured at 8 months. She no longer had to be on isolation or receive treatment. At age 1, she started getting her first set of vaccines, and now, at 21 months, she is on schedule. Walking and running everywhere, she knows her ABC's, her name, and has 10 teeth. Since then, I've finished school and now have a great job at an allergy center as an immune therapy injectionist. If it wasn't for what she went through, I wouldn't have been so interested in getting an education into the medical field, but now that she is well and learning, I feel that things ended up the way they were meant to. Thank you for reading her story. SCID has changed the way my family views life, and I hope it makes you aware of the rare diseases out there.

It’s no secret the the Standard American Diet (SAD) is, well, pretty sad! It’s causing us all to be obese, unhealthy, dis-eased, cancerous, diabetic, autistic, nervous, mentally ill, pill-poppers.
To help you do that, I’ve put together a list of replacements for common, far less healthy foods. If you make some of these substitutions, you’ll be on your way to better health.

Scientists are increasingly uncovering evidence of cross-talk between the nervous system and the immune system in many diseases, including psoriasis. Neurons (red) in mouse skin communicate with dermal dendritic cells (green), a type of immune cell, to drive inflammation in psoriasis. This role of the nervous system presents a new pathway for researchers to develop treatments for psoriasis and possibly other inflammatory skin diseases.

A month or so ago I noticed that Gunner was peeing blood. Then purple and red blotches began showing up underneathe his skin (later discovered to be internal bleeding.). He also had a nosebleed and bloody stool. My little one was bleeding out of every hole.
Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is when platelets are destroyed by the body's own immune system, at a rate faster than they are produced in the bone marrow.
About half of dogs with IMT experience only one episode of thrombocytopenia, and respond well to treatment within a few days. Some dogs will have occasional relapses, which may be associated with stressors such as another illness, or travel. Unfortunately some dogs with this disorder die acutely because of severe internal bleeding.
Thankfully Gunner was the lucky half that has only had one bout of IMT. He started feeling and looking much better after a round of corticosteroids. Sadly for me, I am now afraid to take Gunner new places or on vacation, or leave him alone for long periods of time in fear of him stressing out so much that he has another bout of IMT.
Cora’s Story—Written by Her Mother, Kristine
“We later learned about a type of screening―pulse oximetry―that might have helped identify Cora’s heart defect before it was too late.”
After a healthy and normal pregnancy, I gave birth to my daughter, Cora, on November 30, 2009. Two days later we took her home, after getting a clean bill of health at the hospital. The next 3 days were spent cuddling, getting to know each other, and waking every few hours to feed her.
One early morning my husband handed Cora over to me because she seemed hungry. I started to feed her and everything was going great. I looked up at my husband to tell him I loved him. When I looked back down, Cora was pale, grey, and not breathing. We raced to the hospital, which was no more than 5 minutes away, but it was too late. Cora was gone. We learned from the coroner that she had an undetected congenital heart defect. Neither of us had ever even heard the term.
We later learned about a type of screening―pulse oximetry―that might have helped identify Cora’s heart defect before it was too late. While we’ll never know for sure if it would have made a difference for Cora, we sure wish she’d had the simple screening. Cora’s story is extremely sad, but it’s also full of hope. In Indiana, where we live, a new law requiring newborn heart screening with pulse oximetry is named after her and is known as Cora’s Law.
As for now, I hope for a day when no mother finds out about her child’s heart defect from a coroner. I hope that undetected congenital heart disease becomes a thing of the past. And, ultimately, I hope that one day congenital heart disease can be prevented and that no baby is born with a broken heart.
