Glossary – Micro-Immunotherapy

Your immune system is the key to health and well-being.

Micro-immunotherapy supports it gently and in a targeted manner – with the aim of restoring the natural balance.
This glossary is intended to help you quickly understand important terms and contexts and to better classify the possibilities of this form of therapy.

Small Glossary – Micro-Immunotherapy

(Sorted alphabetically for better findability)

1. Adjuvant – substance that enhances the effect of a drug or immune reaction.

2. Acute inflammation – Short-term, usually helpful immune response to defend against pathogens.

3. Allergen – substance that causes an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.

4. Antigen – Structural feature of a pathogen or foreign substance that triggers an immune response.

5. Antibodies – Proteins produced by the immune system that specifically recognize and bind antigens.

6. Autoimmune reaction – Incorrect reaction of the immune system against the body’s own tissue.

7. Messenger substances (cytokines) – signaling proteins that control immune cells.

8. Chronic inflammation – Long-lasting, often harmful immune response.

9. Dendritic cells – Important immune cells for recognizing and presenting antigens.

10. Dosage in low potencies – Characteristic principle of micro-immunotherapy: use of very small amounts of active ingredients.

11. Epigenetics – Influence of external factors on gene activity without changing DNA.

12. Helper T cells (CD4⁺) – Coordinate the immune response.

13. Immune cascade – sequence of reactions that make up an immune response.

14. Immunomodulation – Controlling the immune system to weaken or amplify certain reactions.

15. Immune status – Current state and functioning of the immune system.

16. Interferons – cytokines that promote viral defense and immune activity.

17. Interleukins – cytokines that enable communication between immune cells.

18. Collateral damage in the immune system – Unwanted tissue damage due to excessive immune response.

19. Lymphocytes – white blood cells, central players in the immune system.

20. Macrophages – “phagocytes” that eliminate pathogens and cellular debris.

21. Micro-immunotherapy – Therapeutic concept for regulating the immune system with low-dose messenger substances.

22. Monoclonal antibodies – Laboratory-generated, targeted immunoactive agents (known only for reference in MIT).

23. Mucosal immune system – immune defense on mucous membranes (e.g. intestines, respiratory tract).

24. Natural killer cells (NK cells) – immune cells that destroy virus-infected or degenerated cells.

25. Oral administration – form of micro-immunotherapy taken by mouth, often in the form of capsules or globules.

26. Regulatory T cells – Slow down excessive immune reactions.

27. Th1/Th2 balance – balance of two immune response types, important for the course of the disease.

28. Toll-like receptors (TLR) – sensors of immune cells to recognize pathogens.

29. Viral load – amount of virus in the body, important in chronic infections.

30. Cytokine profile – pattern of messenger substances in the blood, gives indications of immune status.

FAQs on micro-immunotherapy

1. What is micro-immunotherapy?
   A gentle form of therapy that regulates the immune system with very low doses of immune messengers (cytokines, nucleic acids, etc.).

2. What is it used for?
   In chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, immune deficiencies and concomitantly in oncology.

3. How is it taken?
   Usually orally in the form of capsules or globules, which dissolve in the mouth and act through the mucous membrane.

4. Does it have side effects?
   Side effects are rare and usually mild because the dosages are very low.

5. How long does a treatment take?
   Depending on the clinical picture, several weeks to months; in the case of chronic diseases, even longer.

6. Can it be combined with other therapies?
   Yes, it can be combined well with conventional and naturopathic procedures.

7. Does it have an immediate effect?
   The effect is usually gradual, as immune regulation takes time.

8. Is it scientifically proven?
   There are clinical observations and studies, but the evidence base is even smaller than for classic drugs.

9. Can I take it on my own?
   No, it should be prescribed and monitored by a doctor or therapist.

10. Are there any contraindications?
    Yes, caution is advised, e.g. in the case of acute severe infections or certain immune disorders.
