The immune system, when working as it should, is strong and capable of defending the body against foreign organisms. When it is weak, cellular activity is erratic, and the body's own proteins are recognized as if they were foreign invaders. Immunomodulators are substances such as German chamomile and plant sterols that help strengthen weak immune systems and calm down immune systems that are too robust.
