Hi Kathy,
Polychrondritis is a autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attact the body's cartilage. This can result in a very serious arthritis condition. This disease can effect the nose, ears and anywhere that there is cartilage. This can be very serious if the immune system attacts the cartilage that supports the tacheobronhial tree of autosomal origin. There can be serious infections involved as a spin off problem.
Although, it is not known exactly the mechanism by which this disease works. It is possible the immune system is out of balance and sees the cartilage as an invader or non-self. The suppressors within the immune system may be disfunctional.
You are right regular immune boosters can be very dangerous. As a immune support I suggest Transfer Factor. Transfer Factor is not a typical booster but is a modulator (balancer). There is no quarantee that Transfer Factor will help her, but it will not hurt her. Transfer Factor could assist the immune system in balancing itself.Transfer factor soup contain suppressors thas are used by the immune system to back off an over active immune system.
Keep in mind we do not promote any of our products as a cure to any disease. If by balancing the immune system we can offer some relief, we all can be very thankful. There is no other product that we know of that has the capability to balance the immune system like Transfer Factor. I wish you sister well.
