Immune Response Varies by the Individual

Antalee Wellness Spa, in Glenview, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Alla Arutcheva, M.D., Ph.D., ND, developed a special personalized protocol to increase immune system resilience and boost anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory immune response. The protocol is highly individualized and depends on a person’s health condition and lifestyle.

Her priority is to help people build up strong immune systems to withstand viral and bacterial infections. “More and more people are getting vaccinated against COVID-19. However, some people developed ‘breakthrough’ cases, which means people got infected or sick despite being vaccinated,” says Arutcheva. “People who have a weak immune system may be at higher risk for breakthrough cases because their bodies might produce a less powerful immune response to the vaccine.”

She further explains, “Immune system tolerance and resilience highly depend on the health of digestive, hormonal, nerve and respiratory systems. First, the doctor evaluates whole body health, then puts all the puzzles together to build a protocol that is unique for each person.”
