ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods for rectifying or ameliorating abnormal responses of mammalian immune systems. Also disclosed are methods for modifying normal responses of the mammalian immune system. Further disclosed are methods for accomplishing the foregoing by administering to a mammal a prolactin reducer and/or enhancer at a pre-determined time or times during a 24-hour period that results in modification of the mammal's abnormal prolactin profile so that it approaches or conforms to the prolactin profile of a young, healthy mammal of the same species (or to a standard profile generated from such individuals). Additionally, methods of upregulating or augmenting an immune response in a mammal are disclosed.
