Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in your body. In some cases, the attack occurs in a targeted area or organ. In others, they can affect the entire body. While the causes are unknown, the rising incidence of these types of conditions points to the possibility of environmental factors having an influence. Such toxins are found in heavy metals (from cookware, water, and some pesticides sprayed in food), chemicals in personal hygiene products and detergents, and continued inflammation caused by processed foods. Other culprits may also include mutated genes.

There are many types of autoimmune diseases. The most common ones include:

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Lupus
Multiple Sclerosis
Psoriasis
Addison’s disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Hashimoto’s disease
Grave’s disease
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Vasculitis
