The immune system is such a large topic that it continued to be discussed even on the third day, on 11 September. In order to keep the immunity in a good estate, it is especially important to maintain hormonal balance with age, say anti-aging medicine experts Dorina Donici and Claude Dalle. After all, hormones are powerful immunomodulators.
Our genome is almost the same today as it was a thousand years ago, but our habitat has changed and became toxic. This is why medicine will inevitably open up new diseases. Whereas in the past people were more likely to die from bacterial infection and inflammation was generated by microbes, in the antibiotic era the main "villains" are viruses. Now aseptic inflammation plays a key role.
"The era of the most powerful viral invasion has arrived," Dr. Donici added today.
In addition, in the era of hygiene, autoimmune diseases are on the rise and they will continue to occupy the world. Autoimmune processes are also increasing, including in the brain. Hence the number of patients with Alzheimer's is growing.
Dorina Donici and Claude Dalle also covered the topic of congenital and adaptive immune systems, talking about the current role of each of them.
The experts also touched on the following topics: different types of ageing, the role of stomach acidity, the true causes of colossal cancer and the implicit factors that deplete the immune system.
Another important aspect that was discussed during the lectures was the work of hormonal receptors. For example, interferon is better produced when estrogen and its receptors are balanced. This is partly the reason why women easier fight coronavirus and are less susceptible to it.
Special attention was also paid to vitamin D and its importance for the reliable functioning of the immune system.
The day was closed by a Gala evening with French charm. The state French diplomas were awarded to doctors who successfully passed the exam at the UPEC University in Paris. And all that, in an elegant atmosphere with great live music performance.
