Immunological Treatment
Immune Therapy
Immune therapy encompasses a range of treatments designed to activate, regulate, or restore the body’s immune system. At St. George Hospital, immunological protocols are central to our treatment of cancer, chronic infections, and immune-mediated diseases.
What it is
What Is Immune Therapy?
The immune system is the body’s primary defense against disease. In cancer, chronic infections, and autoimmune conditions, immune function is often compromised, dysregulated, or suppressed. Immune therapy aims to correct these imbalances by stimulating immune cells to recognize and attack disease, modulating overactive immune responses, and restoring the immune system’s surveillance capacity.
How it works
How Does It Work?
Our immune therapy protocols may include autologous immune cell therapy using the patient’s own activated immune cells, dendritic cell therapy to improve antigen recognition, thymus peptide therapy to support T-cell function, high-dose vitamin C infusions for immune support, mistletoe therapy (Viscum album) for immune modulation, and cytokine-based protocols to direct immune responses. The specific combination depends on the individual patient’s immune profile and diagnosis.
Who it is for
What Conditions Does It Treat?
- Cancer (immune support alongside other treatments)
- Chronic Lyme disease and co-infections
- Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction
- Post-viral syndromes including Post-COVID
- Autoimmune conditions requiring immune regulation
Could this belong in your plan?
That depends on your findings, not on the therapy. Send what you have with a short history; a physician reads it before the video call and tells you whether this treatment belongs in your program.
In the room
What a session feels like
- Before What happens depends on your protocol. For cell-based therapies a blood sample is taken first and processed; the infusion comes later.
- During Infusion-based treatments run 1–2 hours through an IV line in a treatment chair. You can read, rest or talk.
- Afterwards You return to your schedule. How often sessions repeat is set in your overall treatment plan.
Evidence
Evidence & Safety
Many forms of immune therapy have strong scientific support. Dendritic cell therapy and other immunological approaches have been studied in clinical trials worldwide. Mistletoe therapy has over 100 published clinical studies. High-dose vitamin C infusions have documented immune-supportive and cytotoxic effects in cancer. St. George Hospital selects immune protocols based on published evidence and clinical experience since 1991.
