BOHÁČOVÁ, Kateřina
This thesis focuses on the immune systém, its function and the factors that influence it. The theoretical part defines the concept of the immune systém and its functioning. Firstly, it presents the biological perspective, including a description of its basic cells, primary organs and division. The thesis then addresses important factors that have a significant impact on its function. These factors are divided into positively influencing and negatively influencing factors with each chapter discussing their effects onhuman health in case of excess or deficiency. The practical part aims to apply the knowledge in practice, specifically through immune training designesd by Dr. Hermann Geesing.

Hardening as a possibility to improve the function of the immune system
JANKOVSKÁ, Alena
This thesis is about hardening and its effect on the immune system. The theoretical part deals with the definition of the terms health, determinants of health, immune system and its functions, and last but not least the term hardening and its principles and forms. The practical part deals with hardening itself and its effects on the immune system in practice. For seven months, eight respondents aged 26 - 55 years were exposed to cold - either by bathing in cold water or showering with cold water. The result of the work is a subjective assessment of the impact of the respondents' hardening on their bodies and immune systems after the research period. The results show that all respondents reported a positive effect of hardening on their health. These were physical changes such as improved acclimatization to cold, less morbidity or significant improvement in atopic eczema or back pain. Changes were not only found physically, but also mentally, with respondents reporting greater resilience to stress, better mood and more energy. Seven out of eight

Usage of alternative methods and natural products as means to increase immunity in the adult population of the Czech Republic
NEDBALOVÁ, Martina
For my diploma thesis I have chosen the topic of utilization of alternative methods and natural remedies as means of increasing immunity of the adult population of the Czech republic. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I deal with the explanation of basic terms related to the immune system, function of the immune system and its division, namely to non-specific and specific immunity and further to humoral and cellular immunity. In a separate chapter I talk about natural resources and procedures that support the immune system. I touch on the effects of homeopathy, phytotherapy, hardening, gemmotherapy, forest therapy and the usage of the food supplements. The last chapter deals with the influence of lifestyle on the functioning of the immune system. I talk here mainly about things that have negative influence on the immune system, such as lack of physical activity, lack of sleep, substance abuse and I also mention the negative impact of excessive stress on human health. The theoretical part is followed by the practical park, for which I've set myself four main goals. The primary goal is to determine whether, and if so, what procedures and products are used by the adult population of the Czech republic to improve their immunity. Furthermore, I try to find out whether there are people in the population who visit general practicioner even when they catch just a common cold. The third goal is to find out what is the attitude of the adult population of the Czech republic towards the use of homeopatics for bolstering the immune system. The final goal of the thesis is to find out whether the are adults who used or are still regularly using some food supplement as a preventive measure for bolstering the immune system. Part of this thesis is a quantitative research based on the method of questioning. The questionnaire was compiled on the basis of my research assumptions and it was published online for anonymous completion. My diploma thesis can be used for better orientation in this problematics, as source of information concerning strengthening of immunity by natural means and last but not least also as a guide for direct application of some alternative ways into your lifestyle and thus strengthening your immunity.
