A little stress actually can boost the immune system for a short while. Typically it takes acute or chronic stress to induce immunosuppression.

Hi All-

A colleague got the following question from a student:

"If excess stress is bad because it damages the autoimmune stystem then why does my mother's doctor tell her to avoid stress since she has Lupus. Shouldn't something that interferes with autoimmune response help a person with an autoimmune disease?"

I know that there are Tipsters who are very well versed in this area (I'm not). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Don
