Can a person with autoimmune disease take immune boosting substances?


Can a person with autoimmune disease take immune boosting substances?

No! Your immune system is already attacking your body. You don't want to stimulate it to attack even more!

I don't think that it is that easy. The immunity builders protect from external illnesses. Your body is making itself ill.
