Autoimmune Diseases - an Overview

Chronic Illness. A terrible immune suppressive epidemic that has plagued the world with an unimaginable ferocity.  Recently surpassing infectious disease as the number 1 killer in the world, chronic illness is responsible for more than 60% of deaths today. Diseases like Arthritis, Cancer, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn’s are types of autoimmune disorders that have skyrocketed in developed nations and show no signs of slowing whatsoever. How can you protect your family in an age where chronic illness is so prevalent?

What is Autoimmune Disorder?

With over 80 different subtypes, autoimmune disorders can trigger the immune system to unknowingly attack and destroy healthy body tissue. Conventional medicine claims that the cause of the disease is unknown. However, it’s true that the nature of the disease is complex, science has proven that a singular cause doesn’t exist. Instead, independent studies have shown that a combination of environmental toxins in our air, food and water, poor lifestyle habits and high levels of stress contribute significantly to the disease. Symptoms can vary, but typically include: dizziness, fatigue and an overall ill-feeling.

The immune system is responsible for maintaining the body's overall health and resistance to disease. The lymphatic system, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow and thymus gland, produce cells that travel through the body killing bad cells while other cells work hard to protect vital organs.

Mainstream Medicine, drugs and auto-immune diseases

Conventional Western medicine claims there are no prevention methods or cures for autoimmune disorders. Yet thousands of people worldwide prevent and even reverse late stages of the disease with natural solutions to include proper diet, medicinal herbs, stress reduction and limiting exposure to toxic chemicals.

Conventional treatments normally include immune suppressant drugs, hormone therapy or anti-inflammatory medication. And although synthetic solutions may provide temporary relief, historically they’ve proven to increase the body’s toxic load while making existing conditions even worse.
