[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 177248, member: 18023"] We do seem to be in a free fire zone, try whatever we have in the drug cabinet, the kitchen sink approach. I haven’t seen any data that differentiates between older and younger females, as older female have much less estrogen. But I do believe estrogen (and or progesterone) does enhance the immune system, based on my own personal experience. After stating TRT this time, I became allergic to penicillin type drugs and several glaucoma eye drops. The immune system is involved in allergies. It seems like it was because my E2 went up from below 5 (unmeasurable) to much higher, 15-40, (it varies quite a bit). I also tied exogenous progesterone, mostly to see if it helped sleep. For a while, I believe I had too much progesterone because it was making me dizzy at times. I measured progesterone, it was 0.5 ng/ml, the top of the range for men, who knows how high it might have gone, I only measured twice and kept lowing the dose. That said, it probably takes longer than a few weeks for higher estrogen / ? to change the immune system, and that might not be the only reason women have a better immune system. It could be likely that there are two phases, one positive, one negative, the immune system gets involved, stopping the spread to the lungs and other organs, but once the viruses gets too prevalent, there is the possibility of an overreaction. And not to put too fine a point on it, they are also trying immunosuppression drugs because a cytokine storm”, which is an over-reaction of the immune system and kills quickly. [B]THE SCIENTIFIC REASON WHY MEN MAY RECOVER FROM FLU QUICKER THAN WOMEN[/B] “Man flu”, a term that refers to the concept of men exaggerating their symptoms when feeling under the weather, is supposedly a real phenomenon. While research has claimed that a number of men do in fact have weaker immune systems than was previously supposed, a new study has discovered that when afflicted with influenza, there may be scientific reason why men recover at a faster rate than women. Researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health decided to investigate the various effects that influenza can have on men and women. Amphiregulin is a growth factor that has been found to play a role in tissue repair and development. The increased production of amphiregulin in the male mice and male human cells is believed to have enabled a faster recovery time from the influenza strain, as the male mice who produced less of the growth factor were found to have similar recovery times to the female mice. “The novel finding here is that females also have slower tissue-repair during recovery, due to relatively low production of amphiregulin,” said lead author Sabra Klein, PhD, who works as an associate professor at Bloomberg School.
