Activation, restoration and growth of the Thymus (thymus gland)
Hi guys, hi CAPTAIN!
Here is my proposal for @Dreamweaver consideration to create a field that activates, restores, stimulates and supports the thymus (thymus gland).
Here is some information gathered from several sites. I used a translator, since my native language is not English, and, accordingly, I took information from sites not in English.
There is an organ in our body that is very little talked about, but which can rightfully be called the âpoint of happinessâ. And you donât need to look for it for a long time. This is the thymus gland (thymus). Located in the upper chest, right at the base of the sternum. Finding it is very simple: to do this, you need to attach two fingers folded together below the clavicular notch. This will be the approximate location of the thymus gland.
Perhaps it only seems to us, or perhaps it is true. The older a person becomes, the more he is susceptible to various injuries and illnesses. This is likely because there was something in our body when we were young that could protect us from health problems. There are many different organs, glands, muscles, bones in the human body, but none of these parts of the human body will ever become useless for us. But there is one gland that becomes unnecessary with age. Not unnecessary in the literal sense, because it is very important for our body, unnecessary in the sense that some of its functions begin to be performed by other organs.
The thymus gland got its name due to its characteristic shape, reminiscent of a trident fork. However, only a healthy gland looks like this - the damaged one most often takes the form of a butterfly or a sail. The thymus gland has another name - thymus, which in Greek means âvitalityâ. In the 60s of the last century, it dawned on scientists that the thymus gland belongs to the organs of the immune system! And not to secondary ones, like lymph nodes, tonsils or adenoids, but to the very central ones.
Whatever you say, this is an important part of our body. In some languages, the thymus is called the âinfant glandâ, because this gland is most productive in childhood. We even know that this gland develops long before birth and works at a time when the brain, heart and liver are not yet fully functional. The thymus (gr. Thymos = soul) is located in the upper part of the chest just behind the sternum, in front of the trachea. In children, its location varies: the thymus can be located both near the thyroid gland and near the heart. After the onset of puberty, the thymus undergoes significant atrophy and becomes covered with fat. After 30 years - we do not even remember that we had a thymus. However, we realize that our body cannot defend itself when the common flu puts us to bed for an entire week.
Thymus functions
Influence of the thymus gland on immunity
The thymus is most active in children under five years of age. The function of the thymus is to differentiate and clone T-lymphocytes, which are responsible for cellular immunity. T-lymphocytes are white blood cells, the main regulatory cells of acquired immunity. They are able to destroy bacteria, viruses, as a result of which healthy cells are formed, and the body recovers. In addition, the thymus controls lymphopoiesis, therefore the growth, maturation and acquisition of immune competence occurs not only in the thymus, but also in other lymph organs and, thus, increases the potential of our body to protect against various pathogenic microorganisms.
No matter how carefully we take care of our body, we will still lose this gland, whether we like it or not. With the onset of adolescence, the thymus transfers some of its functions to the sex glands. By the age of thirty, the gland completely ceases to function and is covered with a layer of fat. Currently, we cannot ignore such an important process as the multiplication of T-lymphocytes. You need to give your body the adequate immune support it deserves.
Long-term observations have shown that human life largely depends on this pink gland, especially the life of babies who have not yet turned five years old. The fact is that the thymus is a âschoolâ of accelerated learning of cells of the immune system (lymphocytes), which are formed from bone marrow stem cells. Once in the thymus gland, newborn âsoldiersâ of the immune system are converted into T-lymphocytes that can fight viruses, infections and autoimmune diseases. After that, in full combat readiness, they enter the blood. Moreover, the most intensive training takes place in the first 2-3 years of life, and closer to five years, when the defenders are recruited for a quite decent army, the function of the thymus gland begins to fade away. By the age of 30, it fades out almost completely, and closer to forty from the thymus gland, as a rule, not a trace remains.

The prick of youth.
Immunologists have found a way to renew the aging gland - and this requires little: a suspension of embryonic stem cells, a syringe and the skillful hands of a doctor who will inject them directly into the thymus. By design, this simple manipulation will force the dying organ to fully recover, returning the lost youth to its owner. According to the proponents of the method, such an injection is much more effective than injecting stem cells into the blood, where they are quickly destroyed, giving only a short-term burst of strength, energy and youth.
Life after death.
And yet you should not be afraid of the natural extinction of the thymus gland. This natural process does not pose any threat to human life. The fact is that in the first five years of active work, the thymus manages to provide the human body with such a supply of T-lymphocytes, which is quite enough for the rest of his life. In addition, the function of the retired gland is partially taken over by certain skin cells that are capable of synthesizing thymic hormones.
P.S.: I think at the present time - the time of the COVID pandemic, such a field will be a good help to ensure protection against the virus.
