It’s such a broad statement. For instance…..
- In rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system targets the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- In lupus, it can damage many parts of the body, including joints, skin, and kidneys.
- In type 1 diabetes, it destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
- In multiple sclerosis, it attacks the protective sheath around nerve cells, causing issues with communication between the brain and body.
But they can share the same symptoms: Fatigue, fever, muscle aches, joint pain, skin problems, and digestive issues.
Most autoimmune are chronic, meaning it is ongoing with no cure. Those that suffer are told by the medical community that it’s their cross to bear as they manage their symptoms with medicationBut here’s what I have experienced and witnessed dozens of times over:
Nutrition plays a HUGE part in not only managing the symptoms but also addressing root cause. Traditional medicine will tell you that autoimmune diseases are caused by genetic and environmental conditions, and I would agree that they can play a role. But I also believe that since the medical profession is not trained in nutrition, that is why they throw their arms up in the air and prescribe medication.
I’m not anti-medication, but understand that medicine is a risk/reward situation. They ALL come with warnings and/or side effects. Nutrition does not and that’s always my first line of offense AND defense.
