Comments
I wonder what a "boosted" immune system will do....probably give you lupus or ankylosing spondylitis or celiac disease or rheumatoid arthritis or Guillain-Barre syndrome or any of 100 other autoimmune diseases. A really really 'boosted' immune system gives rise to a deadly cytokine storm so good luck with that.
