Research Paper On Autoimmune Disease

A process in which the body's immune system causes illness by mistakenly attacking healthy cells, organs, or tissues in the body that is essential for good health. Your own immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys your body tissue that it believes to be foreign.

Some of the major autoimmune diseases are;

Active Chronic Hepatitis, Addison's Disease, Anti-phospholipid Syndrome, Celiac Disease, Crohns Disease, Cushings Syndrome, Dermatomyositis, (Type I) Diabetes, Discoid Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Pemphigoid, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, and Fibromyalgia Fibromyositis.

There are many many more.

An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from symptoms -- everything from fatigue to joint pains to depression, to numb
There are currently over 80 autoimmune diseases.

Why and how does autoimmunity arise in some people's body?

What is causing your body to produce an immune response to itself?

Many people in this world do not have these autoimmune conditions; therefore we know that the body normally distinguishes self from non-self. Every one of us has some degree of autoimmunity naturally, and it does not seem to do us any harm unless something has gone or goes wrong.

To help us to understand that all of these autoimmune diseases as varied as they are in their location in the human body and the systems and organs they affect they are related because they are all caused by autoimmunity.

Once diagnosed, while doctors may prescribe pain relievers, hormones, or immunosuppressants to treat the symptoms, but when a patient asks about the cause, the life-long health implications, or how to heal such conditions, doctors simply shrug their shoulders and say they do not have any answers.

So begs the question, what causes
In 1996 it was discovered that there are essential nutrients for health, that are non-toxic, do not interfere with bodily functions like drugs do and with these the body can recognize, defend, nourish, regulate, repair and cleanse itself. Every chronic degenerative disease is responding very positively, often to the elimination of every symptom. The nutrients are made from natural foods and they work harmoniously with prescription drugs and are not intended to take the place of needed medical treatment. They are a complement to our modern day medicine, not an alternative. The word is slowly spreading amongst the medical community that there is help out there. It always takes time for a new discovery of any kind to be accepted but the time is coming when this information will be common knowledge.

Inside your body there is an amazing protection mechanism called the immune system. We do not notice it when it is working as it should be, but we do notice when it is not. Your complex immune system is made up of many components, cells and systems working together to serve and protect your health and well
