Suggest Guests For Our Podcast: https://forms.gle/ytt6a9jxe8YwzsGD6 Can you really boost your immunity? Are autoimmune diseases increasing in Nepal? And how much do we actually understand about the human immune system? In this episode of the Sushant Pradhan Podcast, Prof. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai, Nepal's first and only subspecialist in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, explains the science behind immunity, autoimmune diseases, immune disorders, allergies, and rheumatological conditions. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai discusses why autoimmune diseases may be increasing, how immune diseases are treated in Nepal, and why Nepal still has significant awareness gaps around immune system diseases. He explains what the immune system actually is, whether age affects immunity, how people should approach a check-up for immunity disorders, and why the idea that you can simply "boost" your immune system is misleading. The conversation also explores how to make the immune system function properly, the limitations of the human body, genes and disease, gene editing, bone marrow transplantation and the rare ARPC1B disorder. Why does ARPC1B appear to affect some Nepalese patients? What can genetic research tell us about disease? And how could gene editing shape the future of human health? This episode covers the immune system, autoimmune diseases in Nepal, immune disorders, immunology in Nepal, rheumatology, allergies, ARPC1B, gene editing, bone marrow transplant, and the future of human genes.
