Why do some people go down with flu whilst others don’t. The answer is not so much about exposure to a strain of flu virus, as you might expect, but is all about whether or not your immune system is able to conquer the virus. This is known as host resistance, the alpha and omega of who's in charge, you or the bug... But it isn't just bugs it deals with, host resistance also mops up the imperfectly formed cells.

I want to make it absolutely clear that this page concerns itself with strategy, things you can do to enhance your host resistance, this page is not about auto-immune responses, this page is not about one pill curing every ill. This page aims to empower you to load your immune system 'guns' and be more succesful in fighting anything that tries to conquer you.
