Role of the Immune system:
your defense against invaders. It is your internal army that distinguishes friend from foe — to know you from foreign invaders.
What triggers an Autoimmune Reaction?
This occurs when your immune system gets confused and your own tissues get caught in friendly cross-fire. Your body is fighting something — an infection, a toxin, an allergen, a food or the stress response — and somehow it redirects its hostile attack on your joints, your brain, your thyroid, your gut, your skin, or sometimes your whole body. The immune systems confusion results from what is referred to as molecular mimicry. The functional medicine approach finds out which molecule the cells are mimicking. It addresses the root cause of the issue which allows the healing process to begin!
Our New Reality Is...
We are facing an epidemic with a significant rise in allergic, asthmatic, and autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, celiac disease, thyroid disease, and the many others. These are all autoimmune conditions, and at their root they are connected by a systemic inflammatory immune response that results in your body attacking its own tissues.
The Conventional Medicine Bandaid
many drugs given for inflammation only address the symptoms. You may feel temporary relief while the bigger issue continues to cause havoc on your system. Conventional medicine like Advil, steroids, immune suppressants like methotrexate, prednisone, have side effects and can potentially lead to kidney failure, depression, osteoporosis, muscle loss, diabetes, infection, intestinal bleeding, and cancer.
NO More Bandaids!
Here are 9 steps to stop the attack and start healing
Foods: Add and eliminate foods. Eliminate foods that exacerbate the immune response like gluten, dairy, and processed/refined sugars. Add whole foods like: green leafy vegetables, fruits high in antioxidants. Tumeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Food allergens: Test for allergens with IgG food testing. Two of the most common are dairy and gluten (the protein in wheat).
Test for infections: yeast, viruses, bacteria, Lyme, etc. See functional medicine practitioner and primary physician for your specific treatment strategy.
Heavy metal toxicity: Common heavy metal toxicity is Mercury. There are other metals can cause autoimmunity.
Fix your gut! This requires working with a specialist to meet your specific needs. Functional medicine provides an individual approach to healing based off your symptoms. However you can change you diet and add foods/herbs/supplements that aid in rebuilding the gut lining. Its important to also eliminate gut agitators.
Use nutrients such as fish oil, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and probiotics to help calm your immune response naturally.
Exercise regularly: it’s a natural anti-inflammatory. A minimum of 30 minutes of moderate exercises is required daily for health.
Relaxation Techniques to address stress levels with yoga, deep breathing, or massage, because stress worsens the immune response.
Adequate Sleep: Everyone requires adequate sleep.
