The treatment properties of Pine Pollen on Immune System
4. Immune System
The body's immune system consists of immune organs and cells and is the body's defense barrier and protects the body from invasion of bacterium, virus and cancer cells.
4.1 Anti-tumor
According to the statistics of tumor etiology, the incidence of tumors increases with age. Ages between 20 and 60 witness frequent tumor morbidity, which increases by 2-7 times at every 10-year interval. Immunologists consider that immune organs and functions gradually decline with age, which mostly explains the relationship between aging and tumor morbidity. Environmental pollution, dietary structure and mental state, etc. also have an impact on the body's immune function. According to related studies, the incidence of most tumors has a long-term latent period, 10-30 years. Thus scientists hold that such a long latent period provides people with sufficient opportunities to prevent cancers.
T lymphocytes and macrophages in the blood can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and cancer cells. They are produced by bone marrow. Dysfunction of hematopoiesis or the lack of thymus gland function will reduce T lymphocytes and macrophages, thus lowering the body's immune functions. Therefore the marrow's hematopoiesis function and the function of the thymus gland, the number of T lymphocytes and macrophages in the blood are indicators measuring the immune function of the body. Some special substances in pine pollen like amino acid, microelements, vitamins and nucleic acid can enhance and improve the cells' oxidation reduction ability, and play a role in consolidating cell immune function and enhancing macrophages' phagocytosis. Beta carotene in pine pollen can eliminate free radicals in the body. Too many free radicals will cause gene mutation, which is the basis of the pathological process of cancer cells. Beta carotene can also be degraded into vitamin A (retinal, retinene and isotretinoin) by the intestinal wall or the liver with dioxygenase. Research on the anti-cancer function of retinoic acid has been widely made. Its major function lies in protecting normal cell membrane and preventing entry of cancerogenous substances. Isotretinoin is an ideal source of nutrients for patients suffering lowered immune function and chronic consumption.
Pine pollen's anti-tumor function has raised a wide concern. It inhibits tumors but will not kill normal cells, while clinically applied chemical medicines kill both, often leading to declining physical state in the process of treatment. Therefore pine pollen is also a supporting medicine in radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
