Our immune system is one of the most important systems in the body.

i was wondering about the positive effects , rather the benefits in using drugs against parasites such as levamasole and chloroquine to boost the immunity . the dean of Stanford institute had declared no benefits with ascorbic acid in control trials , how about these drugs the immunomodulators , they certainly help the patients with allergic manifestations in this part of the world

@HigherPlanes It doesn't matter, if anyone of you would have been the "better man"

@Mega007guy Thanks for pointing that out. You are correct. But I think he threw the first blow and I was defending myself

@HigherPlanes I'm sorry but that is the same thing you are doing right now.
