[Reducing diet therapy in the correction of the immune disorders in patients with primary osteoarthrosis]

Effects of 14-21-day courses of reducing diet on function of T- and B-system immunity were studied in 35 patients with primary osteoarthrosis, while effects of food deprivation on nonspecific effector system of immune defense and local immune reactions were studied in experiment on R. Altman arthrosis model. It was proved that due to the above fasting the articular syndrome by clinical and laboratory criteria was much relieved. This positive effect is explained by modulating action of diet therapy on T- and B-immunity in combination with stimulation of activity of nonspecific effector system of immune defense. The dependence of the above changes on the treatment period are determined.
