Micro-Immunotherapy: Supporting Immune Balance Naturally
Modern life places a heavy burden on our immune systems—from chronic stress and environmental toxins to hidden infections and autoimmunity. Micro-immunotherapy is a gentle, yet scientifically grounded approach that works to restore balance to the immune system using biological messengers in ultra-low doses. It’s a tool I incorporate into personalised functional medicine programmes for individuals dealing with a wide range of immune-related conditions.
What Is Micro-Immunotherapy?
Micro-immunotherapy (MIT) is a form of immune modulation that uses low and ultra-low doses of immune system messengers—such as cytokines, interleukins, growth factors, and nucleic acids—to help regulate immune function. These messenger molecules are prepared using a specific dilution process and administered orally, often in capsule form that dissolves under the tongue to support direct absorption.
Unlike conventional immunotherapies, which often aim to broadly stimulate or suppress immune activity, micro-immunotherapy works in a much more nuanced and individualised way. Its goal is to restore immune balance—enhancing immune response where it’s deficient and calming it where it’s overactive.
How Does It Work?
Micro-immunotherapy targets the communication pathways of the immune system. By delivering key immune messengers in physiological doses—diluted but still biologically active—it sends “whispers” to the immune system rather than “shouts”, making it a very well-tolerated therapy. The sequence of messenger molecules in a treatment protocol is carefully chosen to mimic or guide natural immune responses.
Potential Applications
Micro-immunotherapy protocols are based on deep immunological knowledge and are often integrated into broader functional medicine treatment strategies. It can be used to address:
-
Chronic inflammation -
Autoimmune conditions
-
Allergies
-
Viral or bacterial infections
-
Post-viral fatigue
-
Immune dysregulation
Benefits of Micro-Immunotherapy
-
Gentle and safe – Low and ultra-low doses reduce the risk of side effects.
-
Highly targeted – Specific immune messengers are selected based on your individual immune profile.
-
Supports long-term regulation – Aims to retrain and balance the immune system, not just manage symptoms.
-
Integrative approach – Works well alongside lifestyle, nutritional, and gut-healing interventions.
-
Versatile application – Suitable for a wide range of immune-related concerns.
Case Study: Supporting Immune Balance in Chronic Fatigue Challenges
Patient: Female, 38
Main Concerns: Persistent fatigue, frequent viral reactivations (Epstein-Barr virus – EBV), difficulty with concentration and memory (“brain fog”)
History: Symptoms began following a severe flu three years prior. She had consulted multiple healthcare practitioners with limited improvement.
Intervention: A comprehensive functional medicine assessment identified factors associated with immune and mitochondrial function. A personalised micro-immunotherapy protocol was introduced alongside tailored nutritional support aimed at supporting overall immune function and cellular energy.
Reported Outcomes: Over a three-month period, the client noted improvements in energy levels and mental clarity. Follow-up assessments indicated positive trends in immune markers, and she was able to gradually resume part-time work.
Summary: This case illustrates how a personalised approach, integrating micro-immunotherapy and nutritional guidance, may help individuals navigate complex post-viral fatigue and support resilience.

Case Study: Supporting Immune Balance in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Patient: Male, 45
Main Concerns: Fatigue, weight fluctuations, anxiety, dry skin
History: The patient had experienced unstable thyroid symptoms for several years. Laboratory results indicated fluctuating TSH, elevated anti-TPO antibodies, and markers of low-grade inflammation.
Intervention: A comprehensive plan was developed, including gut-focused nutritional guidance, stress management strategies, and a personalised micro-immunotherapy protocol designed to support immune system balance.
Reported Outcomes: Over a four-month period, the client reported more consistent energy levels and improved mood. Laboratory follow-ups showed positive trends in thyroid markers and antibody levels, and he experienced greater stability in day-to-day symptoms.
Summary: This case highlights how a personalised approach integrating micro-immunotherapy and lifestyle strategies may help individuals manage complex autoimmune challenges and support overall wellbeing.
