An immunological examination gives an impression where there are disturbances in the resistance. Just like in the case of therapyresistant infections an antibiotics-resistance test is carried out, one can see which chemotherapy is more harmful than helpful with the help of immunology. Furthermore, one can see which remedies (especially natural medicine) can improve the unspecific resistance, and one can see on the basis of certain groups of lymphocytes when the immune system is in danger of collapsing.
