Balanced Immune Health

With a wife, two daughters and me comprising our household, I am in the minority on nearly everything. From shopping to watching TV to movie choices.  So it’s no surprise that the rest of my family saw “Twilight: Eclipse” on its opening day. I did not. Nor did I see the 2nd Twilight film. I saw the first one out of curiosity about the book publishing sensation that continues today for the franchise’s author/creator, Stephenie Meyer.

But that got me to wondering about vampires in general. The thing is, I’m guessing vampires must have an immune system to die for, literally. Because, like, they never die. And no matter whose blood they drink, they just keep going and going.

A regular person’s mortal’s blood consists of, to varying degrees, a system of immune cell responders that all have different roles in finding and vanquishing antigens (foreign bodies) that enter the body.

But what does a vampire’s blood have that us mortals don’t?  The vampires immune system must be in perfect balance because he/she never ages, never gets ill. And I don’t understand the “fear of garlic” thing among vampires, because garlic is considered a great immune support agent by nearly anyone in the medical nutrition field.

For those wanting answers, this site, The Vampire Project, provides a wealth of information about the the blood lust of vampires and how they stay healthy. If you come across any secrets that might be worthy of an NIH research grant, let me know.
