The term Autoimmune Diseases refers to a varied group of more than 80 distinct, chronic illnesses in which the underlying problem is similar - the body's immune system is misdirected, attacking the body tissues it was designed to protect. Autoimmune disease can affect any system, organ, or tissue in the body, including the gastrointestinal (GI), nervous, and endocrine sysems as well as the eyes, blood, blood vessels, and skin and other connective tissues.
The purpose of this guide is to offer a functional medicine approach to addressing the various issues associated with autoimmune disease. The strategies discussed in this guide are not intended to treat disease, but to identify possible triggers and address underlying and mediating factors, such as:
- Sex hormones
- GI barrier function & microflora balance
- Inflammation
- Nutritional deficiencies
|
- Drugs & chemicals
- T helper (Th1) dominance
- Impaired biotransformation (detoxification)
- Oxidative stress
