Auto-immunity

The immune system protects the self from foreign agents. Whether by toxins introduced into the body or dysregulation due to chronic infections, the body can begin to see our own cells as invading organism. Our bodies ratchet up defenses until the body begins to destroy healthy tissue.

This auto-immune response prompts conditions such as:

• Lupus
• Rheumatoid Arthritis,
• Guillain Barre Syndrome
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Grave’s disease
• Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
• PANDAS – Pediatric Autoimmune Neurological Disorder Associated with Strep Infection

While simultaneously managing symptoms, we have found that the key to treating this type of condition is by addressing the root causes. We turn off the switch that started the immune abreaction through detoxification while calming the inflammatory reaction from the immune cascade with nutritional interventions, diet, and functional medicine.
