Autoimmune diseases are disease states in which the immune system reacts inappropriately to its own tissues. What you need to know is that our immune system is closely related to autoimmune diseases.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The immune system protects our body from infections (by bacteria, viruses, parasites, for example) and from cancer. It also provides repairs to damaged tissue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At birth, we have already been given certain defense mechanisms, but we build much of our immunity by coming into contact with pathogens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When your immune system stops working properly, it can make you seriously ill. Complaints in autoimmune diseases often present in muscles, joints, skin and internal organs, such as kidneys, heart, lungs and blood vessels.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In most cases, an autoimmune<\/strong> disease<\/strong>involves chronic inflammation of the organs or joints. Symptoms such as fatigue, depression, pain and an overall miserable feeling are also associated with these types of conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Symptoms and symptoms that may arise depends on the type of autoimmune disease and which tissues are affected. Sometimes the effect is localized, but much more often there is malaise that affects the entire body.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What many autoimmune diseases have in common is that when the immune system is overactive, there is fatigue and (low-grade) inflammation<\/strong> that can manifest itself in many places in the body (think lungs, intestines and skin).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It can also negatively affect the brain, nervous system and state of mind<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Only 25% autoimmune diseases are due to hereditary factors.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Studies show that only 25% of disease states involving autoimmunity are determined by hereditary factors. Environmental factors determine the onset of autoimmunity by more than 75%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Important environmental factors include nutrition, gut flora, stress, toxins and infections. And these are precisely the factors we can treat at BodySwitch!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

An autoimmune disease involves an error in the immune system (immune system failure)<\/strong>. The immune system overreacts, attacking the body’s own cells in the process.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In many autoimmune diseases, the body makes specific antibodies that can sometimes be measured in blood tests. Well-known antibodies are anti-TPO ( Hashimoto’s disease<\/a>, for example) and anti-TSI(Graves’ disease<\/a>). There are also autoimmune diseases whose antibodies are not yet known. Therefore, it is not yet 100 percent proven that this is an autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When the immune system is highly stressed and overactive for long periods of time, the likelihood of an autoimmune disease manifesting itself is increased. It is often preceded by chronic stress(adrenal exhaustion<\/a>), illness (viruses) or childbirth. In addition, an unhealthy diet and lifestyle can also make the immune system more active (and thus more aggressive).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Elevated blood sugar, large amounts of organ fat, food hypersensitivities, allergies, gut problems(leaky gut syndrome<\/a>) and a gut flora that is out of balance can all contribute to an overactive immune system and thus autoimmune diseases<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Exactly how many autoimmune diseases there are is not known. Presumably the number runs as high as close to a hundred. Some of them are rare. Nor have all diseases been determined with certainty that an autoimmunity lies beneath them as the cause.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
