In today's episode, we explore the role of Thymosin Alpha 1 Peptide in modulating the immune system, specifically its effects on Th1 and Th2 responses. The episode further delves into the mechanisms by which Borrelia burgdorferi evades immune detection and offers strategies to enhance immune effectiveness against this stealthy pathogen. Additionally, we discuss the broader implications of immune modulation in chronic Lyme disease and mold exposures.
