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.

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.

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!

Glo Germ, a powder simulation, glows under an ultraviolet light during training in a bio-containment lab at Duke's Global Health Research Building on Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Ten 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.

Immunofluorescent image of immune cells surrounding a skin wound, enriched in the beneficial bacteria S. epidermidis.
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.

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.

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.

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.
