Immunological Bystander Reaction - Inflammation regulation reaction.

Inflammation control through regulation  not suppression

 The bystander reaction is, simplistically, the formation of a special type of T-helper cell that has a regulatory role in the inflammatory process. This reaction is only stimulated by antihomotoxic preparations in a defined potency range, 1X to 14X. Let's briefly examine the process.

The antihomotoxic preparation is presented to the body and, like most substances foreign to the body, is met by a macrophage. After being engulfed by this cell, the antihomotoxic substance is broken down into motifs, sequences of between 9 and 15 amino acids. Displayed on the surface of the macrophage, the motifs interact with undifferentiated T cells to form TH₃ cells, each with one specific motif. The TH₃ cells then pass through the lymph nodes where they are cloned. They are eventually distributed throughout the organism via the circulatory system.

TH₃ cells recognise pro-inflammatory TH₁ and TH₂ lymphocytes and a similarity of the motifs stimulate the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines, thereby asserting a regulatory role on the inflammation process.
