Delaying Immune Aging, Extending Healthy Lifespan

The Body’s Defense Shield:
The Immune System!

Thanks to the advancement of medicine, life expectancy has increased significantly, but healthy life expectancy still lags behind. Immunity is a key factor that determines the healthy longevity. Immune system is a shield of our body against pathogens externally and cancers internally. Immune dysregulation, which affects humans of all age, gives rise to various diseases such as allergic disease, autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal disease, cancer, atherosclerosis, and psychiatric problems such as depression and anxiety. Sometimes, it causes symptoms that does not conform to any established disease.

Chaum Immune Enhancement Clinic

Caring for immunity restores immune balance and delays immunosenescence.
Thus, it promotes healthy longevity.

Chaum Immune Enhancement Clinic evaluates current state of your immune function based on up-to-date knowledge.
We pinpoint the factors that negatively affect your immune function, and address your health issues accordingly.
Thus, we are with you in finding healthier you.

What is Immunosenescence?

NAÏVE LYMPHOCYTES

OLD LYMPHOCYTES

Aging causes rapid drop of various physiological functions. The aging of immune system is called 'immunosenescence'.
As one ages, bone marrow function decreases producing less immune cell. Also, thymus atrophies negatively affecting its function of nurturing, educating and balancing immune cells. Thus, the elderly are prone to infection, cancer, autoimmune diseases and allergic diseases, and have decreased response to vaccination.

Immunity Evaluation

Customized immunity assessment according
to individual health status.

NK cell activity represents the current state of your immune function. NK cell proportion represents the baseline capacity of your NK cell immunity. It also tells you how well your body is coping with immunosenescence.
Allergen test, food intolerance test, oxidative stress test, autoantibody test and gut microbiome test provide important clues where the immune dysregulation is stemming from.

Key Examination

CHECK 01

NK Cell Activity Test (Natural Killer Cell Activity Test)

Assess your immunity by measuring NK cell activity.

CHECK 02

Immunoglobulin Test

Assess immune aging through NK cell percentage test and immunoglobulin test.

CHECK 03

Autoantibody Test

Identify abnormal immune responses through allergy testing, food intolerance testing, and autoantibody testing.

CHECK 04

Oxidative Stress Assessment

Evaluation of oxidative stress, which contributes to abnormal immune reactions.

CHECK 05

Consultation

Offering expert consultation regarding immune therapy.

The NK Cell Activity Test is recommended for individuals who:

Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells that attack abnormal cells, such as cancer cells or virus-infected cells. When NK cell activity decreases, susceptibility to cancer development and viral infections increases.

The NK Cell Activity Test artificially activates NK cells present in the blood and measures the amount of interferon-gamma they secrete. This test evaluates the body’s resistance to cancer and other diseases.

2

Individuals with frequent occurrence of infection

The difference of NK cell activity between
cancer patients and healthy controls

We provide a wide spectrum of genetic tests. Your risks for frequently occurring cancers and chronic diseases can be assessed.
Based on these result, health check-up can be planned. Genetic information on personal traits on diet, exercise, caffeine, lactose, alcohol and nutrients can be assessed. Based on these results, a proper guidance on your lifestyle can be provided.
If you have atherosclerosis, testing for Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP), an acquired mutation of immune cells, may help you to plan how meticulously you have to manage your lifestyle factors. Liquid biopsy for cancer screening offers a chance to detect cancers early on.

4 requisites to promote immune health

Healthy lifestyle guided by Chaum sill bring you healthy immunity

Nutritional assessment and therapy

Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients that are required to maintain a good immune balance.
Deficiency or excess of nutrients may cause immune dysregulation. We test blood concentrations of important micronutrients, and fix it to the optimal concentrations suggested by recent studies.
We analyze the supplements you're taking currently, and we adjust the usage of those according to your current physical state.
Diet

We give you a point by point guidance on your diet so that you can have a healthy dietary habit and decrease the dependency on supplements.
Mindfulness and rest

We examine how you sleep and rest. Through mindfulness meditation, we promote your capacity to cope with stress.
Exercise

We examine how you exercise. We suggest an adequate exercise that can promote your immune function.
