What Are The Symptoms of Weak Immunity?
The most characteristic sign of weak immunity is recurrent infections. The person may catch colds very quickly, and the cold usually turns into bronchitis or tonsillitis. A doctor will find it easy to treat these infections initially but keep seeing them all the time.
This is because the patient’s immune system is not strong enough to overcome these infections permanently. Other signs of weak immunity include tiredness, poor concentration, listlessness, loss of memory, fatigue after physical exercise, and an impaired feeling in general (feeling down).
Weak immunity also makes the body more susceptible to allergies. So people with weak immunity are often allergic to environmental factors like pollen, dust mites, or certain foods (like milk, sugar, or preservatives). In addition, many doctors are now also linking the problems of hyperactivity, learning difficulties, and depression to weak immunity.
And what are the causes for this condition?
Weak immunity is generally caused by a lack of sleep, too much stress or tension, or poor eating habits. These factors weaken the body’s energy, which subdues the body’s ability to ward off external attacks. Stress can manifest itself in many ways – emotionally, physically, or mentally.
It usually cheats us into believing that it comes from outside events. Still, it is self-created inside our minds. It takes place through specific actions such as frowning (a physical manifestation of stress), talking negatively (mentally dwelling on stressful topics), and eating junk (keeping oneself deprived).
Immune solid system signs:
Your immune system is responsible for keeping you healthy. When it isn’t working correctly, you are at a higher risk of getting sick or developing certain diseases. Some signs that your immune system may be compromised include frequent colds or infections, unusual aches and pains, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, learning disabilities in children, depression, and many other conditions.
The medical term for a robust immune system is “immunocompetence.” A strong immune system means the body can fight off most invading organisms successfully most of the time.
This doesn’t mean that your immune system will always work perfectly—there are lots of things that can suppress your immunity. These include stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol use, diabetes, cancer, Lyme disease, environmental pollutants, and many common medicines.
The following signs can indicate your immune system is not working correctly: frequent colds or infections; unusual aches and pains; cancer; chronic fatigue syndrome; learning disabilities in children; depression.
If you suspect that your robust immune system has been compromised (for instance, if you’ve had bouts of bronchitis every winter since you were eleven), it’s essential to get tested by a doctor with expertise in immune function.
Ensure that whoever evaluates your tests for the entire spectrum of immunity, including cellular (Th1) and humoral (Th2) immunity. And make sure they test for the right things—in particular, make sure they look at levels of natural killer cells, T-helper lymphocyte counts, and the mycobacteria test.
The signs your robust immune system is working correctly can be subtle at times. Here are some guidelines for what constitutes a healthy immune system: – Your nose should not run excessively or feel congested – You should not have persistent fluid in your ears – Colds should only last three to four days at the most – Upper respiratory infections (i.e., colds) should never turn into bronchitis or pneumonia – Sore throats should only last one week at the most.
Signs of a suppressed immune system include frequent colds or infections; unusual aches and pains; cancer; chronic fatigue syndrome; learning disabilities in children; depression. Conversely, keeping your immune system strong is one of the absolute best things you can do to avoid getting sick.

How to test immune system strength:
The number of lymphocytes :
these are the white blood cells that fight against disease – in a cubic millimeter of blood can be measured. Normal levels for a healthy individual should be between 4 and 10 thousand. Anything less than that, the body is not capable of fighting against infection and disease.

Anything less than that the body is not capable of fighting against infection and disease, which means the immune system is compromised, as well as everything else that happens when your immune system doesn’t work correctly (frequent colds or infections; unusual aches and pains; cancer; chronic fatigue syndrome; learning disabilities in children; depression).

You can do these simple immune system tests yourself at home. They are easy but not entirely accurate, though, because blood tests will give you more precise information about how strong your immune system is so, please consult your doctor if you feel something is wrong with your health condition, no matter what kind of symptoms you might have.
1- Try to find out what are the strong three of your body. They are hands, feet, and eyes.
2- Clean your nose, mouth, ear, and hands with clean water or soap that contains alcohol.
3- Place one drop on both hands between the left thumb and index finger, then rub them together vigorously for 30 seconds.
4- Put both thumbs close together until you feel some heat build-up, about ten seconds. Then separate thumbs straight away for another ten seconds or so (like a mini clapping motion).
Now put both palms of your hands against each other again until you feel the warmth build up again in your fingers. Repeat this action five times more rapidly. This will increase energy flow through all your body’s meridians and improve your immune system.
5- Place two drops on each foot between the big toe and second toe, then rub them together vigorously for 30 seconds.
6- With both eyes closed, place one drop above your right eye and one drop above your left eye. Keep them closed for a minute while you feel the warmth of the liquid in both places where it was placed. This will strengthen all 20 senses and also boost the immune system.
7- Wash out your mouth with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to 1 cup of water) and dry off with a clean cloth or towel without wiping off any excess saliva from the lips or chin area. Spit this into the toilet bowl after you’re done.
Signs your immune system is fighting a virus:
– You have a fever
– You are feeling run down or tired
– You begin to feel aches and pains
These are signs your body is fighting an infection. If you notice any of these signs, it means your immune system is working hard to fight off an invader, whether that be the flu virus, bacteria, fungus, etc.
The good news is that if you boost your immune system now with healthy food and simple lifestyle changes, then you can help prevent getting sick in the first place. Here are some suggestions on how to naturally boost your immune system:
Eat organic foods as much as possible, including raw fruits and vegetables, which will supply you with nutrients like beta carotene (vitamin A,) vitamin C & E, which are potent antioxidants that will help support your immune system.
low immune system blood test:
– Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) count is less than 1500, or if it’s less than 10 percent of your total white blood cells
– Number of platelets is lower than 150,000.
– Hemoglobin content in the blood is lower than 10gm/dl
– Total count of RBCs is 4.5 million.
If you answer yes to any of these questions, I would suggest you immediately go for an immune system assessment without wasting time. The doctor will ask you some crucial questions like how long you have been suffering from fatigue and muscle pain, any significant change in appetite, weight loss, etc. The doctor might also ask about family history because autoimmune disorders can be passed down frequently from parents to children.
