Reverse Autoimmune Disease

Reverse Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune diseases are almost epidemic in the United States. Women, men, even children are being attacked by their own immune system at alarming rates. 

Did you know that allergies, asthma, Type 1 diabetes and a myriad of other diseases are actually classified as autoimmune? This graphic lists many of autoimmune diseases people are suffering from today.

The early symptoms of many autoimmune diseases are very similar, such as:

  • fatigue.

  • achy muscles.

  • swelling and redness.

  • low-grade fever.

  • trouble concentrating.

  • numbness and tingling in the hands and feet.

  • hair loss.

  • skin rashes.

  • joint pain.

It’s important to seek a good functional medicine doctor who is willing to do the necessary tests to get a proper diagnosis. 

There are things you can do to reduce your symptoms, and even reverse the disease itself. Diet plays a very important part in that. Eliminating the known inflammatory and toxic foods is a great place to start. Studies show that many autoimmune diseases are directly related to gluten sensitivities. Leaky gut syndrome is almost always associated with autoimmune disease. You can start your road to healing and recovery by making some simple changes to your diet.
